Chapter 291 None of these people named Li are reliable

The day before New Year's Eve.

The mobile vendors on Dandan Island started earlier than in previous years, and their equipment has also been upgraded. In the past, they would just take some snakeskin bags, place them on the ground, and start selling directly.

This year, there are not only tables, but also simple rain shelters. Many people also bring quilts. Depending on the situation, they may have to spend the night on the island.

These mobile vendors were brought together by a motor boat, and a middle-aged bald boat boss was their leader.

After the boat boss landed on the island, the first thing he did was to carry a cowhide bag and go to the village committee to find it.

I arrived at Wang Dapao's office by the familiar route, only to find that the office door was locked. I tried knocking twice, but no one responded.

His knock on the door attracted Lao Liao. After seeing Lao Liao, the ship boss hurriedly asked:

"Brother Liao, isn't Captain Wang here?"

Old Liao looked disgusted:

"What age are you in, and you're still called captain."

The boss of the ship touched his head. In fact, he originally planned to call him Party Secretary Wang, but he had traveled to many places.

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly came to Li Duoyu with a smile: "Duoyu, let me tell you, if your second brother is fired from the position of village accountant, he will no longer be able to rely on him."

Chen Wenchao raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiuhua. Seeing that her face was dark, he quickly immersed himself in catching swimming crabs.

There are all those big wooden barrels on the fishing boats, and I don’t know where I got an oxygen pump, which is constantly pumping air into the barrels.

"I'm sorry, is Party Secretary Wang here?"

Old Man Mi shouted: "You fish, I'll give you fifty cents."

"Hahaha."

Lao Zhuang was also anxious and sweating profusely at the dock. He had already expected that the quantity would be huge and specially prepared an extra thousand in cash, but it was all spent within half a day.

"So, Wang Jinjun was tricked by him."

Lao Liao hurriedly urged: "Let's get to the point. Director Li is very busy. If you have anything to say, please tell us as soon as possible."

"Damn it, this boatload of large yellow croakers weighs at least three hundred kilograms. These two brothers are just unlucky today."

"You should be responsible for this. I really am too busy today."

When Li Duoyu saw this scene, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Zhuang, if you don't have enough money, I can lend you some first."

Lao Liao struggled for a while and said: "Okay, then I will follow you throughout the next two days. Safety is the first priority."

"Live groupers, all six cents."

"Red snapper five cents."

"Lao Zhou, I'll give you forty first, and I'll keep the remaining seventy for you, and I'll give it to you later when my son comes back."

At this time, the sampan of the Zhao brothers hurried back to the dock. Zhao Erniu shouted on the spot: "Lao Mi, what's the price of the large yellow croaker today?"

On the pier, the group of fishermen who had stocked fish before heard the price and went to their own fishing rafts to pick up the temporarily raised sea fish and sell them.

When the fishmongers heard that there were large yellow croakers, they all looked at the brothers and found that there were indeed many large yellow croakers on their sampan boat. The fish had not yet been untied and all were still hanging on the net.

The ship boss frowned, then handed Lao Liao a pack of imported cigarettes, and said politely: "I'm not familiar with this Director Li, can you recommend him?"

"That's pretty much it."

"If you want to sell, hurry up. Today's price is the best. Sell it early and make money early. You won't be able to sell it at this price tomorrow."

Lao Liao shook his head. He glanced at the cowhide bag in the boat boss's hand and naturally knew what he was here for.

When the villagers saw him counting the money, their eyes turned red: "Shitou, where did you get so many groupers?"

After the ship boss finished speaking, he picked up the cowhide bag: "Director Li, be careful."

Every fishmonger is extremely busy, and unlike previous years, this year everyone is selling live fish.

At the fastest, it would take two hours to get back. Now the funds are a bit difficult to turn over.

A rainbow farts down.

"Black bream, seabass three hairs."

Suddenly, he felt that he was truly lucky to be able to marry a woman like Xiaolan, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

I found that those captains who became village party secretaries smiled brightly when others called them captain, because the captain had greater rights.

Seeing the two people snickering over there, Zhu Xiuhua turned her head and looked at them with a dark face: "What's so funny? Now everyone has one child, and when they get old, two children will have to support four old people, and they will all get sick. Let’s see what you do.”

"I can't tell you this."

Old Man Mi shouted with a loudspeaker:

The boss of the ship let go and said quickly: "That's right, I'm here to report the situation to Director Li. We have a total of twenty stalls this time. We will stay on the island for one night and leave probably tomorrow afternoon."

"You must be stingy. From now on when you go to sea, I will follow you directly."

Li Yaoguo said calmly: "That's because you don't understand. This is called avoiding suspicion."

Li Duoyu glanced at him, then looked at Uncle Liao, and then said: "Uncle Liao, you are responsible for this."

"Director Li, let's go first."

Li Duoyu wanted to shake hands with him directly, but found that his hands were quite dirty: "I'm sorry, my hands are a little dirty."

The other fishermen suddenly realized something and drove their boats to follow the two brothers.

"Damn, you're a profiteer. Normally, a pound of large yellow croaker costs 40 cents. During the Chinese New Year, you have the nerve to say 50 cents."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"That's all thanks to Uncle Liao."

Li Duoyu suddenly said to his second sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I support you in having a second child."

"Duoyu, this won't work. In previous years, Wang Dapao had to sign for this."

After Lao Liao finished speaking, he quickly introduced to the captain: "This is our Director Li Duoyu."

This year, because everyone was stockpiling seafood, the fishmongers at the dock suddenly found that their pockets were empty before they collected it for half a day.

"What a pity, these yellow croakers were caught during the day, and they only have a little bit of gold on them. If they were caught at night, they would be valuable."

"Director Li is busy these two days, so I may not be able to find him. I'll take you to his factory to have a look."

"Our branch secretary is sick and is recuperating in the city. If you want to find someone in charge, I suggest you find our Director Li."

After a while,

Li Yaoguo sighed: "The Wang brothers were pretty good at first, otherwise the villagers wouldn't have chosen them as team leaders and cooperative directors, but later on, they were just a little bit, and they became more and more greedy."

Old Liao continued: "If there were so many fish, we wouldn't bother you."

Chen Wenchao also suddenly realized: "No wonder Brother Yaoguo refused to go home late at night recently, and kept pulling me to have tea and chat."

What made him most depressed was that his son had just delivered the first batch of seafood to the county store two hours ago.

Lao Liao also introduced: "Duoyu, the vendors who set up stalls in our village during the New Year in previous years were all brought by him."

"If you have a golden yellow croaker, I will buy it for 80 cents, just for the New Year's celebration. Your white one is not so easy to sell. You can ask other fish buyers, maybe it will be lower."

Zhao Dahai thought for a while: "Okay, 50 cents is 50 cents."

Zhu Xiuhua snorted coldly: "I think Wang Dapao is better. He knows to give the benefits to his brothers."

Zhu Xiuhua shouted with a dark face: "I tell you, I can tolerate you in other things, but now I am old, you must make me have a second child, otherwise I will never let you go." Li Duoyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Hello, hello."

After seeing such a young village director, the boat captain was stunned for a while, but then stretched out his hand and said: "Director Li, hello, I am Nian Ruifa who sells street food."

Lao Liao took the boat captain to the eel factory, and Li Duoyu was wearing water shoes and catching swimming crabs in the breeding pond.

"Duoyu, so many swimming crabs, it looks like we'll make a fortune this year."

The transportation of live fish is much more difficult, so fishmongers Lao Mi, Uncle Zhuang, Liu Tuzi, and Hei Gougong all borrowed large fishing boats.

Shitou was the first to learn from Li Duoyu. He raised a lot of groupers in the past six months. When the New Year came, he sold them all at once and exchanged them for more than 50 big unity tickets.

Hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. For the first time, he felt that his second sister-in-law was so far-sighted. He was right about this matter.

After selling seafood, a fisherman said, "Lao Zhuang, you won't have no money to collect it, right?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, then frowned and glanced at Lao Liao.

Looking at Li Duoyu running fast, Zhu Xiuhua gritted his teeth and said, "None of these people with the surname Li are reliable."

"Thank you, Mazu!"

Zhu Xiuhua frowned and said, "I say, Li Yaoguo, do you like to argue with me recently? Whatever I say, you have to argue with me, right?"

Seeing that Zhu Xiuhua started to be unreasonable again, Li Yaoguo smiled awkwardly and picked up the small notebook: "I'm going to register the data of the fish pond."

"It's New Year's Day, why are you still keeping accounts? If you don't have money, you can return the fish to me first and I will sell it to others."

Is Wang Xianjun sick?

"Okay, Brother Yu."

Old Liao looked at the cigarette in the hands of the boat boss with a tangled look, but finally took it and said with a smile:

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and said to Chen Wenchao: "Xiao Chao, catch the swimming crabs quickly, I'll go to the dock to see if the Xinyuan Aquatic Products ship has arrived."

Old Mi on the side said gloatingly: "Lao Zhuang, you can take a break."

Not far away, the second sister-in-law who saw everything looked a little ugly, and said to Li Yaoguo beside her:

"This Duoyu is really, if you don't want such a good thing yourself, I can give it to you. Why do you always turn your arm outward? What the man just brought out in the cowhide bag must be a good gift. This must be a bargain for Old Liao."

"That's because he is too greedy. We only need a little bit."

The captain of the boat promised: "It's 100% fresh. If anyone sells bad things, we will pay three times the price."

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Uncle Liao, there is no need to make so many rules. It is a good thing to set up stalls in our village. The most important thing is to use fire and electricity safely, and to prevent conflicts between vendors and villagers. Safety should be put first during the New Year."

"Then I feel relieved."

The two brothers untied the whole boat of yellow croaker as quickly as possible.

More than 300 kilograms of yellow croaker were only sold for 16 big unity. After the two brothers got the money, they immediately drove the sampan out again.

Li Duoyu then said to Nian Ruifa: "By the way, are the things you sell fresh? Just don't make our villagers have diarrhea."

When Li Duoyu arrived at the dock, he found that the stalls were a little far away from the dock, because the dock was particularly busy this year.

The boat captain didn't care at all. He just held Li Duoyu's right hand with both hands and shook it, saying enthusiastically: "We are both from the seaside. I have shaken hands no matter how dirty they are. Director Li is really a handsome man. He became the village director at such a young age."

Mickey Mouse grinned and said: "Duoyu, I don't have enough money. Can you lend me some?"

"Okay, but if I lend it to you, I have to charge interest. If it's one thousand yuan, you can just pay me back one thousand yuan a day."

"Damn, you're a loan shark."
