Chapter 667 Clove Fish Rice (1/2)
The kelp harvest is finally over, and Dandan Island has made money. However, everyone is also very tired. Everyone has been slumped at home recently, and they don't even like to play mahjong.
After those outsiders who came to Dandan Island to work to collect kelp left, a saying spread among the people: If you want to die quickly, go to Dandan Island to collect kelp.
Making money is really making money, but it is also really life-threatening. But if you ask them if they will come next year, most people will say that they will come.
This time, the Xiasha Village Committee also compiled statistics. The people who earned the most from part-time work in the village in the past two months were the Lao Lin family at the end of the village.
Because Lao Lin's family was relatively poor before and had nothing at all, they were not even qualified to divide the family.
There are five men and three women in the family, with eight laborers. The men mainly pull kelp, while the women help dry the kelp.
Because they work diligently, each person earns at least ten yuan a day, and on the best day, some of them earn twenty yuan.
Since all meals were provided by the host, Lao Lin's family didn't spend a penny in the past two months, and their family kept a thick account book.
I remember that the money my family earned in the past two months, all added up, was nearly 7,000 yuan.
This incident couldn't help but cause a sensation in the whole village. Even a reporter from Rongcheng Daily came over after smelling the smell.
A report "Dandan Island villagers got rich through hard work, earning nearly 10,000 yuan per household in two months" appeared on the front page of Rongcheng Daily.
Seeing the old Lin family making so much money, the most uncomfortable thing in the village was undoubtedly the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua. Since she became pregnant with the child, she has been locked up at home and cannot do anything.
After hearing that someone's salary was 20 yuan a day, her teeth were about to break. During these few months of pregnancy, she made a lot less money.
Now, her belly is already very big, and the baby will be born in more than a month.
In his spare time, Li Duoyu would sometimes take Xiao Tutu to fish for small fish at the pier, and then he would often meet Zhang Yuansheng, Milkman's son-in-law.
Men are really amazing sometimes, and I had always heard him nagging me before that if they really gave birth to a daughter, they would definitely run away.
But after the birth of her own child, although she cursed a lot, she was like a slave girl, even changing her urine bag.
The same goes for Li Duoyu. Ever since he got the little bastard Xiao Tutu, he had an inexplicable urge to go home.
This little brat often pees on him. Sometimes, he will wet half the bed for you until midnight. When he doesn't eat, he will make you mad to death.
But no matter how skinny he is, he can't seem to dislike his own child, and it was this companionship that Li Duoyu owed in his previous life.
In this life, although I cursed a lot, I was always happy in my heart.
At this moment, little Tutu, who was holding a small fishing rod, shouted: "Dad, I caught a snake."
He started crying on the spot, but he didn't know how to throw away the fishing rod in his hand, and ran towards Li Duoyu crying all the way.
"It tried to bite me."
Li Duoyu took a look and saw that what this boy was fishing for was not a snake, but an eel that looked very similar to a snake and had patterns on its body.
The locals generally call it an earth dragon, and some people call it a flower eel. Because its head looks a bit like something, and it is very long, it has become a popular food for fishermen.
Li Duoyu was a little speechless. Little Tutu ran away with the fishing rod, and the earth dragon that took the bait was naturally dragged away by him.
Li Duoyu, with his quick hands and quick eyes, caught this earth dragon in one fell swoop. It was really not that big, just about a pound.
After catching it, he unhooked the fishhook and threw it hard on the stone strips of the pier, knocking it out on the spot.
Just make soup for dinner.
Little Tutu was so frightened that his eyes were red. It is estimated that from today on, this little bastard will have a certain psychological shadow on fishing.
Li Duoyu picked him up, let him sit on his shoulders, and warned him by the way: "You are not allowed to sleep, and you are not allowed to pee secretly, you know."
The sunset in early July is quite gorgeous.
The fiery red sunset shines on the sea, opening a long "sea channel", and one or two fishing boats are collecting their nets.
Near the pier, groups of shirtless children were playing.
A woman stood in her yard and shouted in the direction of the dock: "Black pig, come back and eat quickly."
Apparently Black Pig was the nickname of one of the children. It may be that the island's economy has improved over the years.
There are more and more nicknames for "pig" in the village. There are obviously more people calling them black pig, white pig, and dog pig.
About half past six.
The sky is still very bright, and the chimneys of many houses are emitting light smoke. The business of Lao Yang Restaurant on the dock has been very good recently.
Unconsciously, this restaurant has become an economic indicator of the village. If the restaurant's business is good, it proves that the villagers have made money.
During this time, Lao Yang transformed the second floor of his house into a dance hall, providing one-stop service for eating, drinking and singing.
Every evening at this time, when Li Duoyu passes by, he can always hear someone crying and howling on the second floor of the restaurant.
"Ask the holy monk quietly,
My daughter is beautiful or not, my daughter is beautiful or not.”
The popularity of Journey to the West also inspired these songs. Li Duoyu discovered that men all like to sing "I Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
The woman likes the song "Daughter's Love". Some time ago, he heard Zhou Xiaoying secretly practicing this song.
But in this era, apart from Teresa Teng's songs, Li Duoyu's favorite is Xu Xiaofeng's "Every Step".
In a few years, home karaoke will become popular, and by then, the dominant ones will most likely become the Twelve Fairies of the Overseas Provinces.
Even after Lao Yang's song and dance hall opened, the relationship between almost the neighbors and his family dropped to a freezing point.
The past two weeks can be said to be the most leisurely time on Dandan Island, but the leisurely days were quickly broken by a broadcast.
[Dear fellow countrymen and villagers, a purchase notice will be broadcast today. Our village director will start purchasing cloves from today. Fresh cloves cost six cents per catty, and dried ones cost three yuan per catty. Recently, there are plans to catch cloves. Hurry out to sea and catch it.】
Zhao Dahai, who was cleaning the kelp rope, heard the news and said to the plump woman behind him: "Director Li is going to harvest cloves. This month, Er Niu and I will go fishing for cloves. This family will pay for it." Here you go, clean up the kelp rope when you have time."
The woman nodded.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety when going to sea." Widow Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't be too tired, you know."
Zhao Dahai grinned. He could clearly feel that this woman was different from before and began to care about him.
The two stumbled and stumbled, but finally got together. Although Zhao Dahai looked ordinary and always had a sour smell on his body, he was very reliable and an honest man.
Chen Xiuniang's house in Chenjiacun had only four walls and nothing else. But here, not only did it have a TV, but it also had a washing machine and a refrigerator.
If she wants to eat pork, she can buy it in just two steps. With her family's current economic conditions, she doesn't have to worry about whether pork is expensive.
That child of hers was still able to pass the exam, but since he followed her to Xiasha Village.
She just stared at the TV all day long and didn't do her homework well. She actually got third from the bottom in the class in the final exam. She also said that she would go fishing with Uncle Dahai to make money in the future, which gave her a huge headache.
Although Li Duoyu is the big boss now, he doesn't do high-level things all day long.
Instead, they cleaned up an iron-hulled boat with Chen Wenchao, and they also planned to go out to sea with the fleet to catch cloves.
Over there at the pier.
An old fisherman looked at the sea for a long time early in the morning, and finally said to everyone: "The weather is fine today, but be careful, it may rain heavily in the afternoon."
After hearing this, the fishermen cranked up their diesel engines one after another, and with the rumbling sound, the fishing boats left the pier one after another.
For fishermen, the weather forecasts on radios and TVs are not particularly accurate and can only be approximate. Most of the time, they are not as good as the experience and intuition of experienced fishermen.
After Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao were ready, they also sailed out to sea. This time, their Li family's big boat also went out with them.
Nowadays, even without him leading the way, everyone knows that the places with the most cloves are Dinghai Bay near Xigong Town, and the Niushan Fishing Ground in Haidao County next door.
The cloves in both places are good, because Li Duoyu also released acquisition information in Xigong Town.
Xiaolin was responsible for this acquisition, so there were also many fishing boats in Xigong Town fishing for cloves in Ding Bay.
In order to avoid conflicts between the two sides, under the organization of Li Duoyu, the fishing boats from Dandan Island headed to the Niushan fishing ground.
This fishing ground is not close to any village. Everyone can come to fish. It has many advantages, but only one disadvantage.
That is, there are really many fishing boats coming here to fish. With the addition of the fishing boats from Dandan Island, this small fishing ground instantly became lively.
The iron-hulled boat driven by Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao pulled a small trawl net for almost half an hour.
I caught a trawl net of small fish, which contained not only cloves but also various other miscellaneous fish.
After pulling up the net, Li Duoyu was too lazy to pick. He directly pulled the caught fish to the big boat and let the crew on the boat pick them.
On this trip to the sea, Li Sande, who failed to smuggle in, was forcefully dragged over by his second uncle and is now working on the ship.
But before I worked for a while, I started beating my back and yelling that I was hot and tired. My second uncle was so angry that he kicked me on the spot.
"Look at how many fish people have and how rich they are. Why don't you just go fishing like everyone else? You still owe a lot of debt and you can only do so much work and you are tired."
"You're someone who can't endure hardship. Even if I were smuggled out, which store would be willing to accept you as a dishwasher?"
After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing. It seemed that it was true that not everyone who smuggled out could endure hardship.
There are also some people who are unwilling to endure hardship and end up going down evil paths. Li Duoyu remembers this very clearly.
The ones who bully them the most abroad are not foreigners, but the Chinese who came out with them.
A group of local ruffians who were unwilling to work formed a gang, which not only robbed them, but also required them to pay protection fees regularly.
Li Duoyu really hates this kind of people who are just arrogant.
After Li Duoyu purchased cloves on a large scale, the old employees of Shangfeng Aquatic Products Processing Factory were completely unable to sit still.
At this time last year, Li Duoyu was still cooperating with them. Just from exporting cloves, they earned a lot of bonuses every other month.
But now there is nothing. Seeing that they can't make sense with the new young leader, some old employees directly hold banners and protest at the gate of Rongcheng Compound.
As a result, they were severely beaten by a mysterious force. Several people were lying in the hospital. Some old employees ran to the original factory director Liu Zhengyuan to complain.
But he got this reply.
"In the future, if you have the opportunity, just work with Director Li. There is no need to stick to one factory."
Liu Zhengyuan had guessed the final fate of this processing plant not long after he was transferred.
He is also an old comrade of the processing plant. He was already there when the factory was built. It is impossible that he has no feelings for it.
When he learned that he was transferred, he also talked to the leader, but the leader thought that he needed a bigger stage and called him back.
When the old and new handed over, he also handed over most of the channels in his hands to the newly appointed young factory director.
But many things will not develop in a good direction. At the beginning, he also thought that the other party was young and energetic, but later he gradually felt something was wrong.
In the end, Liu Zhengyuan simply packed up all the channels he had and gave them to Li Duoyu, which was also a favor.
Among the channels, there are exports of anchovies and many canned seafood, and the export quotas were also taken care of for him.
After Li Duoyu accepted the channel from Director Liu, he did not take it for nothing. He promised to reserve two quotas for him on the spot.
If he was tired of staying in the system, then the Minlong Canning Factory would at least reserve him a deputy director and nearly ten times his current salary.
Li Duoyu was eager for him to come to work here as soon as possible. After all, Director Liu has so many years of management experience. If he joins, Li Duoyu can save a lot of trouble.
Originally, according to the plan, Li Duoyu planned to produce [Fish with Black Bean Sauce] cans with Director Liu this year.
But I didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now I can only do it myself. Li Duoyu has been waiting and watching recently to determine whether that person has taken a fancy to it again.
And he has been waiting and watching recently to see if that person is making trouble, according to Zhao Jialu's words.
Zhang Dongxin is in the same group with them. Even if he is not in Fujian Province, he can still reach out.
If it is really him, Li Duoyu really plans to cooperate. After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
If both parties can sit down and have a good talk, that would be the best. The other party's purpose is very simple, which is to minimize the valuation of the processing plant.
From a certain perspective, this is also in the interests of Li Duoyu. He really wants to buy the entire processing plant.
But. The last time I met Chen Yuansu, she mentioned the processing plant at Qingkou Wharf. I guess she also knows about this situation.
At that time, I'd better discuss it with her first. Up to now, Li Duoyu doesn't know what Chen Yuansu wants to do. I just feel that her industry is really getting bigger and bigger.
Not only does it involve channel supply chain, hotel catering, agricultural trade sales, but it even extends to breeding and state-owned canning factories.
In just a few years, she has become a tycoon with tens of millions of assets from a girl who only wants to open an authentic Japanese food store.
Li Duoyu shook his head and stopped thinking about so many troublesome things. At noon, Uncle Zhuang on the big ship cooked a big pot of fragrant white rice and shouted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
Li Duoyu directly mixed the boiled clove fish into the white rice, and then added a small spoonful of aged soy sauce to mix it up.
After a mouthful of clove fish rice, Li Duoyu's face was full of satisfaction, and the classic line from A Bite of China popped up in his mind.
The most high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. (End of this chapter)
