Chapter 518 Naughty Typhoon (1/2)

News of the kelp harvest in Xiasha Village soon spread in the town. After hearing the news, Zhang Dongsheng, the party secretary of Langqi Village, didn't sleep well all night and sailed to Xiasha Village early in the morning.

When he came, he also picked up a bag of fine tea leaves given to him by others.

Last year, he also planted more than 100 acres of kelp, and the entire Langqi Village totaled hundreds of acres.

Seeing that Dandan Island started collecting kelp so early, he wanted to know what was going on.

When he arrived at Dandan Island, he was shocked by the battle in front of him. There were fishing boats carrying kelp everywhere.

Everyone looked very busy. After he finally stopped the boat, he asked several villagers and learned that Li Duoyu was still collecting kelp and would not be back until a while.

After waiting at the dock for nearly half an hour, Zhang Dongsheng finally saw Li Duoyu. After meeting, he was polite and quickly gave Li Duoyu the tea in his hand.

"Director Li, why are you harvesting kelp so early this year?"

Li Duoyu, who had worked all night last night and hadn't rested yet, had already guessed what he wanted to say with his panda eyes.

"I'm afraid of a typhoon."

Zhang Dongsheng looked at the weather: "This kind of weather shouldn't happen. Are there other problems?"

Li Duoyu didn't bother to explain too much: "Let me tell you this, someone told me that the typhoon might come, and I don't know if it will come. Anyway, I just believe it."

But Zhang Dongsheng didn't believe it at all: "Can you reveal the inside story?"

Li Duoyu, who hadn't slept all night, still had a bad temper and didn't want to deal with Zhang Dongsheng at all. But after all, he was giving gifts, so he should have a better attitude towards him.

"Last time I went to Hong Kong Island to buy some machinery and equipment. It was supposed to be shipped out, but it was canceled due to weather problems."

Zhang Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Li Duoyu had indeed gone to Hong Kong Island with his leader some time ago.

"Is there really going to be a typhoon?"

"I'm not a god. I know. You should ask the weather station for this kind of thing."

Li Duoyu directly handed the tea leaves in his hand to his sister Li Shuihua: "Are you out of tea? I just made this tea for everyone to drink."

Seeing that Li Duoyu wanted to boil the tea leaves directly, Zhang Dongsheng twitched the corner of his mouth. This was a good tea given to him by others. It would be a waste of money to use it to make a big pot of tea.

He wanted to open his mouth to speak to Li Duoyu, but before he could say anything, Li Duoyu took the sampan again and went to collect kelp from the kelp field.

Seeing Li Duoyu working so hard, Zhang Dongsheng felt more and more something was wrong. After returning to Langqi Village, he was even more puzzled. Even now, he didn't think the typhoon was coming.

He feels that the price of kelp is likely to change. With so many people raising kelp this year, Li Duoyu may want to sell it at a good price in advance.

Zhang Dongsheng thought about it all night, and finally made a difficult decision. His village also planned to harvest kelp.

Dandan Island and Langqi Village rushed to collect kelp together, and the impact was quite large. More than 80% of the fishing boats in the town went to help collect kelp.

At Qingkou Pier, there were not many fishing boats selling fish all day long. The fishmongers were all sitting on the pier smoking, looking at the empty pier, and kept sighing.

"How long will it take to harvest this kelp?"

"There is so much kelp on Dandan Island, it will take four or five days to collect it at least."

"In that case, all we can do during this period of time is sit like this."

Lao Zhang snorted: "Not only for four or five days, but villages like Langqi Island, Shangqi Village, and Xiyang Island will also collect kelp. We will have no business for at least two weeks."

"Does anyone know how much money Li Duoyu will make from this kelp harvest?"

Lao Zhang thought about it for a while: "I also heard from people that he used to earn almost 10,000 yuan from thirty acres of kelp. Now it seems to be more than three hundred acres. Guess how much he can earn."

The fishmongers on the pier all stared wide-eyed: "Damn it, one hundred thousand yuan, why is this young man making money like a money printing machine?"

"Damn it, have you noticed that the fishermen in our town don't like catching fish anymore, and they have all gone to fish farming."

"When you say that, it's true. I chatted with an old fisherman who I have worked with for many years the day before yesterday. He also said that when he makes enough money, he will go to raise kelp. He doesn't want to float on the sea all the time."

Lao Zhang was smoking a cigarette and suddenly remembered the first time he cooperated with Li Duoyu. At that time, before he was so rich, he managed to get a big bass to slide to Qingkou Pier and sell it.

They also asked the fishmongers to bid against each other. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the young man who sold his fish had become so rich.

Shangfeng Town Committee Yard.

Chen Jianghe reported the current situation in Xiasha Village on Dandan Island to Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao. He thought that after hearing the news, these two people would go to Dandan Island to find Li Duoyu to learn more about the situation.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his report, the two of them only asked: "Comrade Jiang He, is it really because Director Li was afraid of the coming typhoon that he gathered kelp?"

Chen Jianghe nodded and said:

"Comrade Duoyu told me this. It seems that the equipment for his shrimp farm was originally going to be shipped, but it was canceled due to weather conditions."

"That's it."

Chen Shulin thought seriously and said to Mayor Gao:

"Comrade Tianyun, I think Director Li's concern is reasonable. How about we take precautions."

Gao Tianyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to those fishing villages this afternoon and ask them to prepare for the typhoon."

"Okay, then I'll go to those villages near the mountain."

Hearing these words, Chen Jianghe was completely confused. How much do the top two leaders in the town trust Li Duoyu?

According to the process, shouldn't they first check with the weather station and then ask some experienced old fishermen?

But on the second day of the rush to harvest kelp on Dandan Island, the coastal residents already felt that something was wrong with the weather.

The sea suddenly became cloudless, visibility was particularly good, and the sea water was particularly clear.

The south wind, which is unique to this season, suddenly stopped, and the weather became sultry.

Many villagers who were collecting kelp at sea were soaked all over, and their water boots could even pour out sweat.

Many people complained.

"What kind of weather is this? It's really hot to death."

And the weirdest thing is.

The sea breeze stopped, but the waves were not small at all, and they were particularly long, which greatly affected the work of harvesting kelp.

The old men in Xiasha Village who loved playing four-color cards frowned at the long waves that suddenly appeared on the sea.

"There are long waves without wind!"

There are generally only two situations. One is that there is another earthquake in the overseas province, and the other is that there may be a typhoon approaching.

Old Zheng frowned and muttered to himself: "I feel that this kid from the Li family is more magical than that blind man Chen. The typhoon may really be coming."

Another old man said: "So I told you before, don't talk nonsense, this kid is very evil."

"Alas." Old Zheng sighed.

At the kelp field, Li Duoyu looked at the long waves on the sea not far away, and his brows frowned instantly.

Every time a long wave came, the kelp field would surge up and down, making it particularly difficult for the fishermen on the sampan to work, and the efficiency of collecting kelp was significantly reduced.

If the long waves have arrived, it means that the typhoon is likely to arrive within two or three days, and all the kelp must be collected in these two days.

Just before the typhoon comes, the weather will become very hot and the wind is very strong, which is very suitable for drying kelp. Looking at the villagers who are so hot that they are drinking water, Li Duoyu encouraged: "The typhoon may really come, everyone should work harder, and then I will treat everyone to a big meal."

The sudden change in the weather made many kelp farmers in the county nervous. In fact, in the past two days, many people have heard more or less that Xiasha Village rushed to collect kelp because of fear of typhoons.

But most people don't care. After looking at the weather, many people think that it is impossible for a typhoon to come, after all, typhoons in May are very rare. But I didn't expect that the weather would change in just two days. Those kelp farmers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Looking for people everywhere, borrowing boats everywhere, and also wanting to collect their own kelp, but most of the boats have been borrowed by Dandan Island and Langqi Village.

Those boat bosses will not be able to empty the boats until at least tomorrow, and they have asked if the typhoon really comes.

Even if they offered more, the boat captains would only work for one more day at most.

In other words, if a typhoon really came, they would only have two or three days left.

Shangqi Village Committee.

Their village secretary angrily slammed the table and cursed: "Damn it, who promised me two days ago that there would be no typhoon."

Several village cadres were silent. They also raised a lot of kelp. Now they have no boats and no time.

One village cadre's eyes were red.

"Secretary Tang, please think of a solution. My kelp fields are loaned out. If they are destroyed by the typhoon, I will not be able to turn over."

"You are the only one who has taken out a loan. I don't have any."

The village secretary said with a dark face: "If there are not enough boats, we will go to Dandan Island now and contact the captains directly. The kelp on Dandan Island seems to be harvested. Let's immediately send the fleet to our village to harvest the kelp."

But when they arrived at Dandan Island, they found that they were not the only ones who had this idea. Langqi Village and Xiagong Village also raised kelp and had made appointments with the captains.

The village cadres of Shangqi Village were dumbfounded after seeing this scene. There was only one way to do it now.

That is to pay more money!

On the third day of harvesting kelp on Dandan Island, there were not many fishing boats left in the kelp fields, and the signs of the typhoon were already very obvious.

There were more and more long waves.

One after another.

Some fishermen found that all the fish in the shallow sea had floated up, and even white dolphins gathered on the sea surface, making uneasy sounds. Some people even saw sea snakes floating out of the sea and tangled into a whole ball.

The sky was not cloudless, but cirrus clouds appeared. Near the overseas province, there were white feather-like or horsetail-like clouds.

The children of Dandan Island looked at the clouds in the sky and said excitedly: "The clouds are really beautiful, like a big phoenix spreading its wings."

The fat boy Li Haoran said: "My uncle said that this kind of cloud is beautiful, but it is not a good cloud. It is a typhoon cloud."

Due to the early mobilization, the first batch of kelp harvested by Dandan Island had been dried after two days of drying.

But this time everyone raised a lot of kelp, and the warehouse left by the team was not enough to store it.

Li Duoyu simply pulled his own kelp to the shrimp farm for storage. After all, the factory building there can really withstand typhoons.

During the period of harvesting kelp, my uncle Chen Dongqing had already helped Li Duoyu complete the transfer of shrimps, and all the broodstock shrimps were transferred to the shrimp farm.

At the same time, the second brother also drained more than half of the water in the eel pond.

Perhaps because the typhoon was approaching and the air pressure was too low, all the eels that usually did not appear during the day came out.

So these days, the aerator is running 24 hours a day, and Li Yaoguo has also followed Li Duoyu's instructions and purchased a lot of quicklime in advance, as well as some medicinal materials used for sterilization.

It’s almost day four.

Dandan Island has almost completed the work of harvesting and drying kelp, and at this time, horse clouds have appeared in the sky.

Layers of black and white clouds kept running in the sky, and the waves became very big. Even on the beach, they were more than half a meter high.

This kind of wave can easily sweep people away. If it is a little bigger, it can directly overturn a sampan.

By now, any fisherman along the coast will know that a typhoon is coming soon, and the loudspeaker in Xiasha Village will keep shouting:

"Dear villagers, please note that all fishing boats have returned to the port. If there is still kelp that has been confiscated, there is no need to collect it. If we collect it now, we won't have time to dry it for you."

"Everyone should check their houses. If the house is dangerous, come directly to the village committee."

At this time, Zhang Dongsheng from Langqi Village looked at the remaining dozens of acres of kelp fields that had not yet been harvested, with a sad face. At least twenty acres of them belonged to him.

But now the waves are too big.

The sampans no longer dared to collect kelp. This morning, several villagers were thrown into the sea by the waves. Fortunately, the water quality was good, so nothing happened.

The situation in Shangqi Village was even worse. More than two hundred acres of kelp had not been collected, and the farmers looked at the long waves.

At this moment, people want to die, and some people even complain:

"Other village party secretaries and village directors all know how to collect kelp in advance, but why can't our village do the same?"

Party Secretary Tang of Shangqi Village felt very uncomfortable at this moment. What the villagers said was indeed true. Both Dandan Island and Langqi Village had harvested the food early, but they did not harvest it early.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger now.

The waves are getting bigger and bigger.

The big raindrops fell horizontally, and some kelp was collected in advance before it was even dried.

Residents along the coast were waiting for the arrival of the typhoon, but miraculously, the wind suddenly stopped after blowing for a whole day.

The puzzled villagers turned on their radios one after another and secretly listened to radio stations from overseas provinces.

It turned out that this typhoon was very skinny. It was originally going to log in from them, but it suddenly turned around and ran to the southern part of the overseas province, and then turned around and returned to the southern sea.

The sixth day of harvesting kelp.

The sky cleared again, the long waves disappeared, and the typhoon seemed to be over.

The kelp farmers in Shangqi Village, who had been worried for several days, couldn't help but cheer and celebrate. Someone said: "Just tell me, how can that Director Li be so awesome?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone scolded us: "I don't know who just scolded us Tang Party Secretary for not learning from that Li Duoyu."

At this moment, some kelp farmers are even beginning to feel lucky that they did not listen to Li Duoyu.

When the typhoon was about to come, they all felt that Li Duoyu was quite powerful, but now that it has not come, some subtle sounds immediately appeared.

Privately, many farmers are talking about Li Duoyu.

Some people think that he is still very powerful. After all, the typhoon really came and just turned away.

But some people think he is making too much fuss, and many kelp farmers have paid double the price to hire people to harvest kelp.

"From now on, you still have to listen to the weather station for this kind of thing. If you can't just listen to the wind, it will be rain."

But Li Duoyu had no time to pay attention to them. He did not relax his vigilance just because the typhoon was gone. He had been at the village committee these days, listening to radio stations from overseas provinces.

In the past two days, Chen Jianghe also heard some unfriendly remarks towards Li Duoyu, and said with some comfort:

"Director Li, you are already very good. No one could have predicted the weather problem. Even the weather station issued a typhoon warning this time, but who would have thought that it would just turn around and go away."

"As the village director, you are really super dedicated to your duties, and the villagers are very grateful to you."

Seeing Chen Jianghe nagging him non-stop, Li Duoyu said in disgust: "Comrade Jiang He, can you please stop disturbing me to listen to the radio?"

Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment. He kindly came over to enlighten and comfort him, but he didn't expect to be scolded by him.

But what Chen Jianghe didn't expect was that the overseas provincial radio station that Li Duoyu was listening to suddenly stopped singing and broadcast an emergency weather forecast.

"This year's No. 4 typhoon suddenly changes direction in the southern sea and is likely to affect the northern part of our province. Please be prepared for disaster prevention."

After hearing this emergency notice, Chen Jianghe was completely confused and couldn't help but cursed on the spot: "What the hell is this typhoon!"

But what made him even more curious was that Li Duoyu gave him the feeling that he knew from the beginning that this typhoon would come back to kill him. (End of chapter)
