Chapter 398: The Thighs Are Thick Enough, You Can Hug Them However You Want (1/2)
The popularity of grilled eels this time directly led to the appearance of many eel catchers on the riverside.
As soon as night fell.
There were many people holding flashlights on the bridge piers and riverbanks, fishing eels there, and some simply used ground traps directly.
For a time, wild eels became the best-selling products in fish markets and stalls. In less than two days, "fake" grilled eels had already appeared.
"Fat, tender and juicy, super-large grilled eels, only two yuan per catty."
"No need to find scalpers, A Xiang brand grilled eels, only one yuan."
Many citizens were impressed by the price, so they bought some grilled eels and found that they were overturned.
On the market, any grilled eels that are not packaged and are not from the Minlong Food brand do not taste very good.
Some are sweet and have a general taste, especially the big eel, which is full of thorns when you take a bite, and it is very uncomfortable to eat.
The appearance of these "fake" grilled eels also made everyone realize that the grilled eels of Minlong Food are not so easy to imitate.
When An Yuliang learned that Li Duoyu's grilled eel sauce was still a secret recipe, he directly placed an advertisement in the newspaper.
[Minlong grilled eel, marinated with 36 kinds of seasonings, it is very face-saving to send to relatives and friends. ]
For a time, Minlong Food became popular in Rongcheng, and also attracted the attention of many merchants.
During the days when Li Duoyu was away, many merchants have secretly poached his customers.
Someone offered Li Yaoguo a price of 200 yuan per month, and Chen Wenchao was even more exaggerated. A farmer offered a high price of 250 yuan.
Someone spent 2,000 yuan to purchase the sauce formula of Li Duoyu's grilled eel.
These days, Chen Wenchao, who was tying oyster racks, was annoyed to death by the farmers and merchants who visited him.
And the most annoying thing was his two unpromising brothers-in-law, who kept nagging behind him like a follower.
"Xiao Chao, 250 yuan a month, at least 3,000 yuan a year, how much do you make working with the village director?"
"Duoyu helped you when you were in trouble, but he has paid back what he owes in the past two years, you really don't owe him anything."
"The boss said that as long as you go, our whole family can go with you, and he will share the profits with us."
Chen Wenchao, whose ears are about to be calloused, said with a dark face: "I have told you so many times that I will not go. Can you stop influencing me all the time? I have to tie all the oyster racks this week."
Chen Wenchao's brother-in-law Liu Yunzhu said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? My sister is really at a big loss by marrying you."
Chen Wenchao is really seldom angry. If these two people were not his brothers-in-law, he really wanted to push them directly into the sea.
"Stop talking, okay? Even if the boss gives me 500 per month, I won't go."
"Stupid dog."
Liu Yunzhu couldn't help but scold: "If you don't go, we will go. You teach us how to raise eels."
Chen Wenchao stared at the two brothers-in-law in front of him with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he understood why Brother Yu said that before.
If you marry Liu Xiaolan, it means you marry a burden.
Chen Wenchao said with a dark face: "This is even more impossible. Don't even think about it."
"As long as we brothers don't say it, who will know it? Besides, everyone will know this sooner or later."
Seeing that Chen Wenchao ignored them directly, Liu Yunzhu said pitifully: "Wenchao, why can't you think about us? We are not young anymore. If we continue like this, we may be the same as the Zhao brothers."
Chen Wenchao's patience finally reached the critical value, and he scolded directly on the spot:
"Don't flatter yourself. How can you two compare with Zhao Dahai and Zhao Erniu? They just have bad luck, and they are not as lazy as you. They don't even want to work. If you want to do something, you will just dream of gold falling from the sky.
I am still willing to talk to you because you are Xiaolan's brother, and I can tolerate your constant nagging because your mother treats me well.
But there are some issues of principle that you should not even think about. If you really want to make money, you can first collect money and buy a fishing boat, and then take out a loan to buy a diesel engine and a net-lifting machine.
As long as you fish seriously for three years, your life will definitely change, but you are unwilling to do anything and are unwilling to endure any hardship. Believe it or not, even the matchmaker doesn't want to do business with you. "
The two brothers-in-law saw Chen Wenchao so angry for the first time, and he said so many truths, and they were really frightened for a while.
Liu Yunzhu muttered, "If you don't want to help, then don't. Why are you so fierce?"
After the two left the oyster rack, Liu Yunzhu looked at Chen Wenchao and frowned, "When did he become so eloquent?"
Brother-in-law Liu Xiaoyu thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "He should have learned it from Li Duoyu. After all, Li Duoyu's mouth can make the dead alive."
After Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island, he found that his family had received a lot of letters in just a few days, almost all of which were sent from Rongcheng.
After opening them.
The contents of the letters were surprisingly consistent, all praising how good Li Duoyu's grilled eel was, and wanted to have long-term cooperation with Minlong Food.
After reading the letters, Li Duoyu was also very patient. He borrowed blue copy paper from Zhou Xiaoying and wrote back to these vendors one by one.
Tell them the actual situation and politely rejected their cooperation requests.
Dandan Island is not very big, and everyone will know about it immediately if there is any movement. Li Yaoguo, who earns 200 yuan, and Chen Wenchao, who earns 250 yuan, have become hot topics on Dandan Island.
My mother-in-law Chen Huiying was also very anxious. When she saw Li Duoyu, she said, "Now that you are famous, you have to take good care of the people under you. Don't end up becoming a bachelor commander yourself."
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about this. At present, I am probably the only one who can raise this eel well."
"Be humble and don't brag. Tomorrow, take some time out and come with me to pay homage to Mazu. Do you know?"
"knew."
In the small office over there at the eel factory.
The second brother Li Yaoguo handed more than 20 business cards to Li Duoyu: "They are all coming to see you these days."
Seeing the second brother handing in all his business cards, Li Duoyu joked: "So many bosses come to poach you, but none of you are interested."
"My heart is definitely excited."
Immediately afterwards, Li Yaoguo laughed at himself: "I don't know how much I weigh. If I really take these two hundred yuan, I will not only harm myself, but also harm others."
"However, it's really scary to think about it. I have been working as an accountant for ten years and my salary was only more than 30 yuan. I didn't expect that after working with you for less than half a year, it would rise to 200 yuan. I didn't understand it before. Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry. , women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and now they understand it deeply. "
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "If my second sister-in-law knew about your worth, she would probably feel unbalanced and would have to scratch you twice no matter what."
Li Yaoguo sighed: "Excuse me, I haven't seen anyone in a week or two, maybe they have all been sold."
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult to sell her. My sister-in-law is a little greedy, but she's not stupid at all. On the contrary, she's very smart."
"There are too many clever things that are not used on the right path. In fact, they are no different from fools."
While the two were chatting, Li Yaoguo took out a thick account book: "Because of the dike construction, the expenses are a bit high this month. You may have to settle the accounts yourself."
Li Duoyu nodded, briefly glanced at the account book, and found that his second brother was indeed an accountant.
Each project is accounted for separately.
The incoming and outgoing accounts are very detailed, each transaction is marked with a specific purpose, and there are accompanying documents. If there is no document, there is also a signature note.
After taking a few glances, Li Duoyu discovered that the bulk of it was the labor and material losses caused by the embankment.
After a whole month, the wages, tractor rental fees, fuel costs, and material loss costs incurred by the embankment have amounted to more than 3,000 yuan.
Although Li Duoyu knows the character of his second brother very well, he is the kind of person who is Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao.
But he has seen too many cases where relatives were asked to take care of the finances, which eventually led to problems. For example, in his previous life, the boss of his eel factory asked his eldest son to take charge of the finances. As a result, he secretly misappropriated the money for gambling and almost destroyed the company early. Go out of business.
As a boss, you really shouldn’t be lazy. Even if it’s a bit hard on money-related matters, you have to go through them carefully and don’t give the people below you the chance to take advantage of them.
One opportunity may be a test, but if there are always opportunities, it is a loophole.
After Li Duoyu carefully read the accounts, he signed every page of the account book.
Immediately afterwards.
Li Duoyu took out the company passbook and the seal and handed it to his second brother:
"If you are free in the past two days, go to the credit union in town to withdraw some money, pay off this month's salary, and also withdraw a thousand yuan in cash and put it in the company for later use."
"Okay, no problem." Li Duoyu continued: "
"By the way, second brother, you arrange a time to sell the silver carp in those ponds to Lao Mi, and clean the bottom of the pond. Next year we have an order for 100,000 eels, and the pond may be doubled. scale.”
When he heard the price of 100,000 yuan, Li Yaoguo was completely stunned. The previous 60,000 yuan sold for more than 100,000 yuan.
If it's 100,000 yuan, it can be sold for at least 200,000 yuan. Li Yaoguo suddenly felt a little bit magical. In this era when everyone is vying to be a householder with 10,000 yuan, some people have already begun to lead by so much.
Logically speaking, when he heard that Li Duoyu might make so much money, he would definitely be very bitter and jealous, but Li Yaoguo didn't feel this way.
"Duoyu, you are so good at making money, I will rely on you from now on."
"The thighs are thick enough, you can hold them however you want."
"This is what you said. When the time comes, if the hug breaks, don't blame me."
Li Duoyu smiled.
When I left the eel factory, I discovered that I had taken out a loan to buy the stones for the netting machine, but instead of fishing, I was still working in the quarry.
Li Duoyu smiled: "Shanshan is not here anymore, why are you still working here?"
Wearing a mask and with stone powder all over his head, he rolled his eyes: "I'm here to prove that I'm not here to work for Shanshan."
Li Duoyu was startled for a moment and found that Shi Shi was indeed a bit childish: "What is there to prove? If you really like it, then be bold. Don't wait for someone to chase you away. Then you will hide in bed and cry."
Shitou frowned and whispered: "It's not as easy as you think. She's not divorced yet. Who dares to chase her? Besides, if I find someone with a child, my grandma will really beat her with a broom." Break my legs."
Li Duoyu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Oh, there is a thief, no thief, and no dare to like the young woman."
Shitou said with a dark face: "As you said, I seem to be a pervert."
"You're not just a pervert."
Shitou froze on the spot.
In fact, he really likes Shanshan. To be honest, he hates this bastard Xiao Weidong.
Their two families were very close to each other. Every time he heard that Shanshan was being abused, he couldn't help but want to go up and kill that bastard Xiao Weidong.
It's no use, unless he really kills this bastard, he will only hit him harder next time.
The night he was about to run to Nanri Town, he had a very bad idea, but unexpectedly, he was finally rescued by the militia company.
He was stunned when he saw the stone.
Li Duoyu asked: "Have you not gone fishing with Shuguang and the others recently to find your dear grandpa?"
"Yes, I went with Brother Shuguang several times, but never met him. I was not in the mood to fish, and I lost dozens of dollars in fishing fees."
Shitou continued: "I have already handed over the matter to Brother Shuguang. If he really meets my grandpa, I will give him the safety lock."
"This is also a way."
"Just move the rocks, I'm leaving first."
Shitou patted the stone powder on his hair: "I won't move anymore."
"Aren't you going to continue to prove it?"
"If you prove it, I will marry her home tomorrow."
Li Duoyu shouted not far away: "Shanshan, why are you here? Shitou has something to ask you."
this moment,
The stone almost turned into stone.
Because Li Duoyu didn't lie to him, Teacher Lin and Teacher Zhou were carrying poles together, probably delivering lunch to the workers in the quarry.
When Lin Shanshan passed by Shitou, she asked, "Stone, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
Shitou wanted to die, and he hesitated: "I'm fine. Brother Yu is just talking nonsense. He just said that you liked to pester him when you were a child."
Lin Shanshan frowned and looked at Li Duoyu. He didn't seem like someone who could say such things. Then she explained:
"I'm not with Brother Yu, but with Sister Xiaoying and Sister Shuihua. Brother Yu is the worst one. He often bullies us. One time he even tricked me into the tidal flat. I was stuck in there and couldn't get out. It was Sister Shuihua who saved me. of me.”
Shitou nodded crazily: "Yes, I also felt that Brother Yu was the worst one when I was a child. None of my little children were afraid of him. The urinal outside my house was exploded by him with firecrackers. ”
Lin Shanshan frowned and said, "Yes, I think the urinal in my house was also blown up by him."
Li Duoyu opened his mouth wide. Shitou was really a man of the opposite sex and inhumane. He was united in the front instantly.
"You also believe this kind of speculation. You can't blame the whole village's tank damage just because I blew up a water tank."
Lin Shanshan grinned. In fact, she had always wanted to talk to Li Duoyu, but for some reason, she never had the chance.
Lin Shanshan suddenly bowed and said:
"Brother Yu, thank you very much."
Li Duoyu sighed: "You were slandering me just now, why did you suddenly become sensational? Let's talk. I have to leave first."
After seeing Li Duoyu leave, Shitou looked at Lin Shanshan in front of him. He rarely looked at her so close.
His heartbeat accelerated instantly, uncontrollably. He found that after Xiao Weidong was gone, Lin Shanshan, who was originally thin, seemed to be plumper, especially around the collarbone. She used to be so thin that she could hold water, but now she didn't look so awkward.
But for him.
He liked Shanshan very much whether she was skinny or voluptuous, especially those eyes that were really shining.
"Stone, what's wrong with you?"
Shitou reacted suddenly, his face turned red instantly, and then he shouted in the direction of Li Duoyu: "Brother Yu, wait for me."
Lin Shanshan tilted her head, looking at the two men in confusion, and then asked Zhou Xiaoying, who had just walked over: "Shitou, why is this kid acting a little weird lately."
Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Shanshan, have you never been in love?"
Lin Shanshan nodded a little ashamedly: "Sister Xiaoying, after I graduated from the middle school, I was arranged by my family, and I married Xiao Weidong out of nowhere."
Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said: "You have read so many legal books recently. Are you planning to sue for divorce?"
"Um."
Lin Shanshan knew very well that she must completely draw a clear line with Xiao Weidong. This kind of person is the kind of person who eats shit and can't change.
She found someone to find out. Although Xiao Weidong was sentenced to more than ten years, his parents kept looking for people to have a relationship with.
Maybe he will come out within ten years. With her current attitude of refusing to visit him even once, he will definitely not let her go after he comes out.
She is working so hard to learn legal knowledge now, one is to get a divorce, and the other is to find another way out for herself.
She no longer wanted to stay on Dandan Island. Once the divorce was successful, she would take her children to live in a place where Xiao Weidong could not find them. "
But when she thought of divorce, Lin Shanshan was quite powerless because she found that it was really difficult to get a divorce in this era.
Over the past year, she had learned a lot about the Marriage Law and submitted materials several times, but every time there were always various reasons to frustrate her.
Recently, she learned that there are indicators for divorce, because in the new Marriage Law, the divorce conditions clearly stated that if the relationship between husband and wife breaks down and mediation is invalid, divorce will be granted.
This has directly led to the divorce of a large number of couples, and now there is a mountain of divorce cases in the courts.
Although Zhou Xiaoying knew that Shitou liked Shanshan, she did not intend to be a matchmaker. As a woman, she knew very well that Lin Shanshan, who had been bullied by Xiao Weidong, would not be able to find a partner until the knot in her heart was resolved.
In her eyes, it was useless no matter how hard Shi Shitou tried, not to mention he was still a fool. At this time, chasing Shanshan would only increase her burden.
"Let's go, let's read some books together, you read law books, I'll read English, maybe we can cooperate in the future."
"Sister Xiaoying, why have you been reading English recently?"
Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said, "The call of the times."
"Humph, definitely not."
Zhou Xiaoying said lightly, "Duoyu knows Japanese, I know English, so I won't look stupid. The most annoying thing is, do you know that there is a technical secondary school that invited him to be a guest teacher."
"Really?" (End of this chapter)
