1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 172

At half past six in the evening.

The seagulls of Dandan Island flew across the sea, and the sunset turned the entire sky red.

However, the two fishmongers, Mr. Mi and Lao Zhuang on the pier, were in no mood to appreciate the beautiful sunset and night sky.

At this moment, they were all very anxious.

Most of the fishing boats on Dandan Island have returned, but Li Duoyu, who had made a promise to them, has not returned yet.

Old man Mi kept pacing on the pier.

“I haven't come back so late, so there won't be any problems.”

Lao Zhuang frowned and looked at Old Man Mi.

“Don't talk nonsense.”

At this point in the past, Old Man Mi would definitely not collect any more fish. He had already sailed to Rongcheng Pier to sell the fish he received today.

But because of the agreement, he was embarrassed and just skipped the order, but it was really too late today.

He not only collects seafood from Li Duoyu, but also has a lot of seafood from other fishermen, some of which he collected in the afternoon.

If he didn't sell it quickly, it would probably break soon, so he was really anxious.

“I can't really hunt turtles, so I'm sorry to come back.”

Lao Zhuang frowned and said, "Duoyu and Shuguang are not that kind of people. They will definitely come back if they tell us well. Maybe something delayed them."

Old man Li kept looking at his luminous watch, and after a while, he smoked four cigarettes.

At seven o'clock, he stood up suddenly and said, "It's too late, I'll leave first."

Lao Zhuang was surprised and said, "You won't accept it?"

Old man Mi sighed: "I'm different from you. You just send it to the county town. I want to send it to the city. I can't afford to wait."

“Lao Zhuang, remember to tell him if more fish come back later, I'll wait until seven o'clock too.”

After Old Man Mi finished speaking, he drove his small fishing boat directly towards Rongcheng.

As soon as he stepped forward, a bright light appeared on the dark sea surface, and at the same time, the faint sound of a diesel engine could be heard.

Lao Zhuang looked at the boat light and listened to the sound of the fishing boat's diesel engine, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Maybe it's because I live at the dock all year round.

He is very familiar with the fishing boats on Dandan Island. Sometimes he can tell whose fishing boat it is by the strength and color of the lights on the boat.

Sometimes, you can tell whose house it belongs to by listening to the sound of the diesel engine without even looking.

The diesel engine that makes a "clang, clang, clang" sound and the one that makes the sound of hitting metal belongs to the old Lu family, while the one that "clicks, clatters" belongs to Li Shuguang's boat, and the one that always likes to fire off cannons is from a stone.

After the fishing boat arrives at the port.

Li Duoyu held the cable on the bow of the boat and immediately jumped off the boat and tied the cable to the dock piles.

When Lao Zhuang saw Li Duoyu, he said, "Duoyu, why did you come back so late today?"

“Uncle Zhuang, I'm sorry, something happened and I was delayed when I came back.”

“It's okay, just be safe.”

After Lao Zhuang finished speaking, he walked onto their fishing boat. When he saw that the two big barrels were filled with fish, he was stunned on the spot.

One of them is a live fish bucket, in which there is also a dying big bass, red spot, tiger spot and green spot.

These groupers are all very large, and I don't know what method was used. More than half of these groupers are actually alive.

Laozhuang also collects groupers, but most of them are dead when they get into his hands. Occasionally, he is lucky and encounters groupers that have just been caught by fishermen, but they still die soon after they are in his hands.

Lao Zhuang felt that Li Duoyu must have some ideas. He would find time to ask him for advice in the future.

The other big bucket was full of red anchovies. They were all very big and could be seen with the naked eye. There were several weighing more than 30 kilograms.

But what Lao Zhuang couldn't understand was that when they went to sea, they didn't go to Rongcheng at all. Where did they get the ice?

Actually, the fish was received so late.

Lao Zhuang is already prepared to lose money. If the fish is collected at this time, the fish will definitely not be fresh enough. If it is not sold tonight, no one will want it the next day.

It's what they do.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, fresh fish is generally not collected.

He also had an agreement with Li Duoyu, so he waited until so late. He thought he would lose money, but he didn't expect that there was ice on their boat.

It's stable now.

Seeing so many sea fish, Lao Zhuang suddenly realized something very important.

“With so much seafood, his son's small seafood shop can't even eat so much.”

This old rice is also true, if only he had waited ten more minutes.

A small fishing boat called "Tong Tong Tong" appeared at the port. Just by listening to the sound of the fishing boat, Lao Zhuang knew who was coming.

Even before the boat docked, Mr. Mi shouted: "Old Zhuang, you have to leave some for me. There are so many fish, so don't sell them all to him."

Lao Zhuang gave him a disgusted look.

“If you don't want to keep it, I've already bought it all.”

“Damn it, don't be ungrateful.” Old Man Mi hurriedly came to the fishing boat. After seeing the two barrels of sea fish, he said to the old man: “Buy, buy them all if you have any.”

Lao Zhuang smiled awkwardly.

"Fortunately, I didn't drive too far. Otherwise, there are so many sea fish. Duoyu might have to go to Rongcheng Pier tonight." Old man Mi was also very surprised when he saw the ice, but he was not that kind People who like to talk a lot don't bother to ask.

Anyway, for him, it is definitely a good thing to have ice cubes, which can ensure the freshness of the fish, if these ice cubes are willing to be given to him.

Then if he transports it to Rongcheng Wharf, the price can be higher.

"We all know each other, and I'm too lazy to play with the empty ones. If there are ice cubes, I'll take them for 17 cents. For live groupers, it's 50 cents for more than ten pounds, 60 cents for more than 20 pounds, and 7 cents for more than 30 pounds. hair."

Li Duoyu is quite satisfied with this quotation. The price at Qingkou Wharf is almost the same.

"sure, no problem."

After all the fish are sold.

The total is 136 yuan, which is much better than Li Duoyu expected.

And some fishermen who heard the news.

After learning that Li Duoyu had returned to Hong Kong from fishing, they all ran to the pier to see how many sea fish they had caught today.

When they come.

I happened to see Mr. Mi and Lao Zhuang moving the fish. When they saw the lively bass, they were instantly envious.

“Such a big bass slippery.”

“There are actually erythema, which would have been valuable during the Chinese New Year.”

“Is it so easy to catch fish in the open sea? I'll try it another day.”

“What are you thinking about? You go to the open sea just to feed the sharks, and you want to catch fish. In such a big place, you probably don't even know where the fish are.”

I saw many fishermen discussing it.

Li Duoyu shouted to them: "If you want to go fishing in the open sea, you can come to me to sign up. We have fishing spots for rent on our boat."

Tang Ping, who raised clams and was also a village cadre like Li Duoyu, was a little moved.

“There are so many fish, how do you calculate this fishing position?”

Li Duoyu replied: "This is simple. I provide two rental methods here. One is for pure fishing experience, which costs fifteen yuan a day, but all the fish caught belong to us. The other is immersive fishing, and all the fish caught are ours." It's all yours, thirty a day.”

Tang Ping glared and said:

"Thirty a day, why don't you go and grab it? There are many people in our village who can't even make thirty a month."

"well."

Li Duoyu sighed: "I was just thinking whether it was too cheap. After all, I may be the only one in Lianjiang County who has this kind of fishing rod. Besides, this fishing rod has a service life. Thirty really doesn't matter. expensive."

"When you said that, I remembered that if you want to come fishing, you have to pay a deposit. Otherwise, if the fishing rod is damaged by you, I will suffer a big loss."

Tang Ping's face was very dark, but he still asked:

“How much money will be deposited?”

Li Duoyu thought for a while: "Since everyone is so familiar with it, I think it's cheaper for you, maybe three hundred. The market price of my fishing rod is at least five hundred."

At the pier, there were some fishermen who were eager to give it a try. They spent thirty yuan on a gamble, and maybe they could make fifty yuan back.

But when I heard that the deposit was three hundred, I wanted to curse immediately. The village director was good, and he was much more responsible than Wang Dapao, but he was too cunning, and he was very good at calculating.

“Forget it, I can't afford to catch it.”

“Otherwise the fishing rod is damaged, and two or three years of work will be in vain.”

Just when everyone was about to give up, Li Duoyu said with a smile:

“Our project of renting fishing spots, if there are reservations this month, we will buy one and get one free. As long as you purchase an immersive fishing experience, we will give you a fishing experience as a gift.”

After everyone heard this, they always felt that something was wrong, but they just couldn't explain it. They still felt that Li Duoyu was quite reasonable.

Tang Ping frowned and thought for a while. He originally planned to go back and think about what was wrong before deciding whether to rent out the fishing spot.

I didn't even think about the young fisherman named Shitou. He said on the spot without even thinking: "Brother Yu, when will you go out to sea, I will buy one and get one free."

Since the last time he made money from catching small tubes, Shitou has now become a fan of Li Duoyu.

As long as Li Duoyu was doing something, he didn't even bother to think about it, he could just follow him.

Li Duoyu replied: "It's not that easy to go fishing in the open sea. It depends on the weather. If the weather is good, I will notify you through the loudspeaker of the village committee. When the time comes, just come to the pier to find me."

"no problem."

Jian Shitou signed up.

Although Tang Ping felt something was wrong, he still said: "Forget it, I'll sign up for one too."

After seeing two people signing up, the other fishermen were a little bit ready to take action, but they really had no money in their pockets. They were screwed by Wang Dapao last time, and everyone's money had long been emptied.

There is no money at all now.

A Chen Baoqiang said: "There are so many fish, I don't have money to bet on them. If I break your fishing rod, how will you pay for it?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "That's easy. Come to my house and sign a deed of sale."

“Same as Wenchao, fifty per month, with commission?”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's impossible. Aqiang, you can only be thirty at most, and you don't get any commission."

“Damn it, why am I so low?”

The fisherman on the side joked: "First of all, you must have the body of Wen Chao, otherwise no boss would want you with your ability to come out in two or three strokes."

“Dude, stick your **** up, and I'll let you try it on the spot, how many times.” (End of chapter)
