Chapter 563: People Sit at Home, and the Pot Comes From the Sky (1/2)
The problem of Zhang Siyu going to school was finally solved smoothly. When Zhou Xiaoying returned home, she couldn't help but ask:
"You used to be indifferent to these things. Why are you so active now?"
"It's free." Li Duoyu replied casually. In fact, the fact that he would help this little girl had a lot to do with Zhou Xiaoying.
If she hadn't been this teacher, Li Duoyu wouldn't have bothered to get involved in other people's family affairs.
Of course, there are other reasons, that is, after suddenly earning so much money, Li Duoyu was a little bloated and always wanted to give back to the society.
After all, he is now considered a wealthy businessman. If he can only get in but not get out, he will be targeted by gangsters one day.
After all, there are so many people who are not afraid of death these days. In addition to helping the villagers get rich, Li Duo also has to spend some money to improve his social image.
Suddenly, Li Duoyu found that he was somewhat similar to the boss Cao from his previous life.
But there is something different when you think about it. Li Duoyu is a very stingy person. Even if he really wants to donate money, he will not just donate money to those charitable organizations casually.
Once he decides to donate, the direction of each money must be clear and implemented.
In his previous life, there was a female teacher whom he admired very much. She took root in the mountains and sent out the oppressed girls one by one.
For girls in the mountains, going out is indeed their best destination.
But in this era, the same is true for girls on the island. If they have not come out, their fate has already been determined. When they reach the age suitable for marriage, their parents may even clearly mark the price.
But when he got home and was about to take a shower, Li Duoyu suddenly slapped his head and remembered something very important.
Zhou Xiaoying was very puzzled: "There is something wrong with you, okay, why are you beating yourself up?"
Li Duoyu sighed: "Comrade Xiaoying, I'm sorry for you."
Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "Are you regretting it? I will pay for Zhang Siyu's junior high school education."
Li Duoyu said angrily: "No, the main reason is that I can't continue fighting with you tonight. I know you are quite dissatisfied with my performance today. I have something else to do tonight, so I can only satisfy you next time. Just sleep on your own tonight.”
Zhou Xiaoying was confused by what she said. She found that her husband was really arrogant sometimes.
The big boss has reminded him more than once. Secretary Huang and Director Wu have also mentioned the grilled eel.
I exported so many eels and actually forgot the most important thing. I will probably be scolded to death.
Zhou Xiaoying frowned and looked at her watch: "It's so late, what else do you have to do."
Li Duoyu said: "I'm going to grill some eels. Aren't we going to Rongcheng tomorrow? I'll send them to the boss by the way."
Zhou Xiaoying was very puzzled: "Isn't it okay to send it another day? Does it have to be tomorrow?"
Li Duoyu was silent for a while and then said with an analogy: "How can I tell you? It's like when I really want it, when you say another day, I feel like I'm covered in ants crawling. Do you understand that feeling? ?”
Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for several seconds. She suddenly realized that her husband's "Wencai" was still good, but he was using it in the wrong place.
Li Duoyu hurriedly ran to the dock to deliver the grilled eel to the leader.
The most important thing now is to get the packaging bag of the grilled eel, and the packaging bag is at the aquatic product processing plant at Qingkou Wharf, so Li Duoyu had to go there overnight to get it.
When he first arrived at the pier, Li Duoyu found several little boys holding flashlights and shining them at the pier.
Two other boys lowered the net into the sea water.
After a while, a boy shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, there are a lot of them, hurry up and pull up the net."
As the boy holding the net pulled up the net, they really caught a lot of small pipes.
One little boy excitedly went to catch him, but he choked, and half of his face turned black. After seeing him being choked, several other children laughed very happily.
But Li Duoyu frowned slightly when he saw this scene. Based on his understanding of Dandan Island, if he could catch a small tube at the dock.
So this year's Xiaoguan must be a good year, but sometimes, a good year is not a good thing for fishermen.
Sure enough, at the pier, several fishermen had a quarrel with the fishmonger Lao Mi Tou.
A fisherman named Jin Feng said: "Old Mi, why are you getting darker and darker? Last year at this time, a small tube was only 1.5 cents per pound, but now it has become 70 cents. Then we are making a lot of money, including gas money." not coming back."
Lao Mi complained: "Your boat is just a rowing boat. It costs money for wool and oil. There are a lot of people catching small tubes this year. At this price, if small tubes are put on the market in large quantities in the next two days, the price may have to be reduced."
"Damn, you fishmongers are really vampires, you just know how to lower the price."
Lao Mi was also very angry: "I didn't set the price. The price in Rongcheng is the same now. What can I do?"
"I also wish that the price of small tubes was higher, so that I could make more money, but there are so many small tubes this year, what can I do."
Li Duoyu sighed, there was really nothing he could do if it happened to be a big year, there were too many small tubes.
But there are only so many people who eat small tubes. We can't eat them all. Besides, it's a real thing.
Once the novelty wears off.
The taste will no longer be the same when you eat it again, so just like Lao Mi said, the price will only get cheaper in the future.
But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Lao Mi suddenly complained to him: "Duoyu, that bitch of yours is really too cruel."
"ah!!"
Li Duoyu was stunned: "Teacher Zhou, will he bully you?"
Lao Mi hummed: "Teacher Zhou is such a nice person, how could he bully others? I'm talking about Chen Yuanyu."
Li Duoyu was down for several seconds: "She has something to do with me. Don't talk nonsense there, or be careful of her grandfather being arrested by you and locked up in a dark room."
Old Man Mi snorted: "It's not me who told you. Now the fishmongers in Rongcheng are spreading the news that you are having an affair with her. Now we fish sellers are really about to be killed by her."
Li Duoyu frowned and said:
"How to say?"
Old Man Mi whispered: "My purchase price here is only seven cents. How much do you think a pound of small tubes costs in the Rongcheng market?"
Li Duoyu did some calculations and deducted the transportation cost: "It should be about 20 cents."
Old Man Mi sighed: "If it's only 2 cents, we'll accept it. The price of a pound of small tubes at the fish market is 40 cents."
Li Duoyu was a little surprised: "With such a big difference, wouldn't you fish sellers make a lot of money?"
Old Man Mi scolded on the spot: "What a waste of money. Now the purchase price is monopolized by the big buyers above. Our small tubes are shipped to Rongcheng Wharf. They only cost ten cents per kilogram. All the money has been taken by Chen Yuanyu." That woman got away with it."
Li Duoyu was stunned for a few seconds.
After Manager An left, the pricing of Rongcheng Aquatic Products Market now seems to be really decided by Xinyuan Aquatic Products.
However, for Li Duoyu, this is normal. Capitalists would rather throw away their milk than sell it cheaply.
Wasn't it just to become a legal "fishing tyrant" that she had invested so much money in integrating these fishmongers?
Old Man Mi sighed: "Now many fishmongers are scolding you, saying that if you didn't help her and kicked out Manager An, the market wouldn't be so chaotic."
Li Duoyu said with a dark face: "It's none of my business. I signed an agreement with her. If I don't help her, who can I help?"
"You are right to think so. Others don't think so. Anyway, when others scold her, they will also scold you. Anyway, I have scolded you no less than thirty times today."
"Your uncle's."
Li Duoyu was quite speechless, what is this called: people are sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky. Feng Ping was harmed!
But even though a pound of small tubes only costs seven cents, there are still a lot of fishing boats fishing for small tubes on the sea.
Small tubes are found in many places, but the small tubes on Dandan Island are particularly good, just like the cloves produced in Qixing Bay, which is obviously better than other places.
Since laying down some rules in Shasha Village, fishermen in other villages are now also relaxed.
The fishing boats went to the waters near Dandan Island to catch small tubes. If you look around, there are at least seventy or eighty boats. If so many fishing boats are fishing, the output must be huge.
Chen Yuanyou is unwilling to sell at a low price, so there will soon be a situation of "supply exceeding demand". At that time, there will inevitably be a situation of "cheap fish hurting farmers".
That is to say, in good harvest years, fishermen's income actually decreases.
Sure enough, when Li Duoyu arrived at Qingkou Pier, he found many fishing boats queuing up to sell small tubes.
In the past, fishmongers were clamoring for it, but now fishmongers are not in a hurry and are trying every means to lower the price.
The Zhao brothers were arguing with the fishmonger: "If you don't bring anything like this, why are you still charging a peeling fee this year?"
The fishmonger said: "Sell it if you like. If you don't peel it and sell it, your stuff will be taken away."
Zhao Dahai had no choice but to say: "Peel off the skin, it's so stupid, it's so bad that it's so heartbreaking."
Li Duoyu's fishing boat was particularly eye-catching. As soon as he docked, someone familiar came to him.
Li Shuguang, Li Qingguang, and Shitou, who were still waiting in line to sell small tubes, jumped on his fishing boat after seeing it.
Li Shuguang said curiously: "Duoyu, it's so late, why are you still here?"
"I came to the processing plant to get something."
Li Duoyu asked casually: "The price of small tubes seems to be a bit low this year."
Li Shuguang sighed helplessly: "There are too many small tubes this year. I caught hundreds of catties in one net, but the price is really not good. An hour ago, I paid seven cents for it, but now it has become six cents."
Shitou looked at the densely packed fishing boats: "Damn it, there are too many fishing boats imitating our fishing boats this year, and the volume is too large. If this continues, everyone will have to finish."
Li Duoyu nodded. This situation was to be expected. After all, in the past two years alone, the number of fishing boats in Shangfeng Town had tripled.
Li Shuguang continued: "Forget it, Xiaoguan can't make any money this year. After this boat is sold out, I won't catch any more. Do you have time at night? It's been a long time since we got together, or else at night Let’s have a drink together.”
Li Duoyu thought for a while:
"Yes, yes, but I can't drink too much at night. I have to sail to Rongcheng tomorrow."
"Then here at the dock, it's better to go back to the island."
Li Duoyu replied: "Go back to the island and come directly to the eel factory. My second brother happens to be at the eel factory. He can have two more drinks with you."
"That's okay."
Shitou said: "Then I'll leave some small tubes and let's have a seafood dinner tonight."
He has been really depressed recently. Sister Shanshan seems to have come out of the shadow of domestic violence, and there are more smiles on her face.
But she became less and less interested in him. Sometimes, he even wished for another typhoon so that he could legitimately help her repair the house.
"See you later then."
Li Duoyu was very familiar with the processing factory. Even if Director Liu was not around, he quickly got the plastic bags for packaging the eels.
Then he returned to the eel factory without stopping, and happened to catch up with his second brother Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao feeding the eels.
The eels that were black on top and white on the bottom were scrambling to eat the feed. Li Duoyu saw this and caught a few eels in the net.
No more, no less, almost exactly over a hundred of them. After picking up the eels, Li Duoyu put them into the ice water on the spot.
Since Dadadan Island received electricity, the equipment at the eel factory has also been upgraded. The biggest change is the addition of two large freezers.
Having a freezer has made it very convenient. For example, the Kabayaki eel juice prepared by Magistrate Tao and his colleagues before is no longer needed to be thrown away. It can be frozen directly.
There are also some seafood products that are not easy to get in ordinary times, which can also be placed in the freezer. Now in his freezer, there is a yellow lip fish weighing more than 40 kilograms.
But since the freezer was introduced in the factory, the one who uses it the most is actually grandma, who often brings all kinds of food here to freeze it.
I made too much noodles and couldn't finish them, so I brought them here to freeze them. I also made too much rice cakes, so I couldn't bear to give them away, so I brought them here to freeze them.
Li Duoyu refused to listen no matter what she said. Anyway, she wanted to ice anything that could be iced.
A few days ago, I even wanted to freeze the watermelon. Fortunately, Li Duoyu found it early, otherwise he would have eaten crushed watermelon smoothie.
There are two freezers now, and more than one of them contains Grandma's frozen items, which makes Li Duoyu quite speechless.
Li Duoyu put the caught eels in ice water and stunned them first.
Immediately afterwards, he showed off his fast, accurate and ruthless sword skills in front of his second brother and Chen Wenchao. Each eel could not survive for ten seconds in front of Li Duoyu.
One chop,
One stroke,
everything.
The eel, which was still alive and kicking, turned into a piece of fish meat with an even thickness in the blink of an eye.
For Li Duoyu, fifty eels are also grilled, and a hundred eels are also grilled. The difference is not very big.
If there is any difference between him and the Eel Immortal, there is really one difference. The Eel Immortal wants fame, while these illegal workers want efficiency.
After working as an illegal worker for more than 20 years, Li Duoyu grilled a lot of eels.
As the charcoal fire started to heat up, Li Duoyu placed the skewered eel on the grill.
At this time, Li Shuguang, Shitou and the others arrived at the eel factory.
What stunned Li Duoyu the most was that his uncle actually came too.
Chen Dongqing looked at him with a dark face: "You are a real dog. I worked so hard to look after the shrimp factory and make delicious food for you, but you didn't know how to ask me to do it."
"How did I know that you were at the shrimp farm? I thought you went back to pay the public rations."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Li Shuguang looked at Chen Dongqing in surprise: "Dongqing is so miserable. At this age, he is still paying. Unlike me, I stopped paying long ago. It is more practical to give money now."
Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched: "I'm not thirty yet, okay?"
Li Shuguang was stunned for a moment: "You dress so seriously every day, I thought you were almost forty."
Shi Shi said with emotion: "I really envy you. I can't even if I want to."
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "As long as you change your taste, you are the youngest among us, so you can have sex once a day without any problem."
Shitou smiled and said resolutely: "No, I have liked him for so long. If I suddenly change now, I feel like it would be such a loss."
Li Duoyu shook his head and sighed.
What Li Duoyu was even more curious about was that his uncle was at Qixing Bay and his cousin was at Qingkou Pier. They were quite far apart, so why did they go together?
Li Duoyu looked at them and realized that someone was missing. He immediately understood.
Li Qingguang probably didn't go back to the island, but went to the shrimp farm, and his uncle just came here. (End of chapter)
