1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 287

After the meeting, Li Duoyu arrived at Secretary Chen's office in a familiar way. Although the door was open, he still knocked on the door.

"come in."

After Li Duoyu entered the office, he found that Secretary Chen's office was a bit messy, and the table was full of various documents.

“It's Chinese New Year, and the sanitation aunt has gone back. The office is a bit messy. I'll make you some tea if you want.”

“Secretary Chen is too polite, I just want to drink boiled water.”

After a while, Secretary Chen came out with a cup of tea, placed it on the small coffee table next to Li Duoyu, and asked, "By the way, have the public toilets in your village been built?"

“It has been built, and it will be ready for use when the cement dries.”

Secretary Chen nodded and said: "The efficiency is quite high. I thought it would be delayed until the end of the year, but I didn't expect it to be done so soon."

“I would also like to thank Secretary Chen for his strong support. If it weren't for the two master bricklayers you called, I'm afraid it would have been delayed until the end of the year.”

“By the way, I called you here this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you.”

Li Duoyu smiled, feeling that Secretary Chen was particularly polite today and would definitely come to him if there was anything he needed to do.

“Secretary Chen, just say it.”

Chen Shulin took a sip of tea, and then found a document "Vigorously Developing Distant Ocean Fisheries" from the table.

said with some concern:

“A few days ago, I went to the city for a meeting, and it was said that our offshore fishery resources have been somewhat unsatisfactory in recent years.

In recent years, there has not even been a fishing season for large yellow croakers, and there have been a lot less cuttlefish.

It seems that the fishing boats in our town only hang around the offshore and Zhoushan fishing grounds at most, and have not gone further. If this continues, sooner or later the offshore fishery will have problems. "

Li Duoyu had already glanced at the document and naturally knew what Secretary Chen wanted to say.

“Secretary, are you planning to let us fishermen go fishing further afield?”

“Young people's minds work very quickly and they can make things happen with just a few clicks.”

“But Secretary, the fishing boats in our village are all wooden boats. The small waves in the near sea are okay, but the big waves in the far sea cannot be withstood.”

“You can all think of the problems. How could we not think of it? If the country wants to vigorously develop the offshore fishing industry, it must upgrade its fishing boats.”

Li Duoyu pretended to be shocked and said: "So, are you being given a subsidy?"

Chen Shulin nodded: "If fishermen really want to buy a boat, they can get an interest-free loan."

Li Duoyu's eyes widened. As expected, the obedient child will have milk to drink.

In this year, a steel fishing boat costs at least hundreds of thousands, and now only fishing companies have it.

Ordinary fishermen can't afford it at all. Even if they spend the entire village's money, they still can't afford a steel fishing boat.

But if you can buy it with an interest-free loan, then you can get it by selling the iron.

Li Duoyu looked troubled: "Uncle Chen, the iron boat is really too expensive. If it's not a work unit, no fishermen can afford it. Can't we directly subsidize it with tens of thousands of yuan or something?"

Chen Shulin rolled his eyes at him: "Are you really not understanding, or are you just pretending not to understand? If you really subsidize so much money, it's our turn for such a good thing."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly.

“That's right. If that's the case, then I'll grit my teeth and take out a loan to buy one.”

Chen Shulin sighed: "Actually, I also recommended you during the meeting in the city, but the leader said that you are doing too many things now, including raising kelp and eels, so I just want you to concentrate on farming. ”

"ah."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu's smile disappeared instantly and he couldn't help but cursed:

"Which leader has so many things to do? He only picked up a boat for nothing and cut off my financial path."

But Secretary Chen wouldn't let me get a loan to buy a boat, and he asked him to come over to discuss it. What did he mean?

Chen Shulin took a sip of tea and saw Li Duoyu's sad face and explained:

“The leaders have considered things and are not targeting you intentionally. The situation in our town is different. When it was opened before, many people had tasted the sweetness of smuggling and thought about getting rich overnight all day long.

Your village has changed a lot. Other villages in the town have developed very slowly in recent years, and they all feel like they are still living in the past.

Coupled with the recent resurgence of smuggling, and as soon as the smuggling incident came out, many fishermen who originally planned to make money down-to-earth became restless again, and they all thought of going abroad to make big money.

Leaders feel that it is necessary to set a positive example now so that fishermen can see that they can still make money by staying at home.

For example, your kelp farming has made a good start and has led many fishermen to enter the farming industry. However, there are only a few people engaged in farming now, and there are still relatively many fishermen."

Secretary Chen spoke for more than ten minutes, and Li Duoyu naturally understood what he meant. To put it bluntly, it was the slogan that a certain great man was about to put forward.

Let some people get rich first, drive most areas, and then achieve common prosperity.

In this era of economic development, as long as you work hard, there are still many resources available.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "But no one except me would dare to lend such a large amount of money."

Chen Shulin smiled: "Comrade Li Duoyu, you don't think that in the two years since I took office in Shangfeng Town, I have only known you village cadres. Do you remember that all your uncles have tugboats, right? Especially your uncle before. He is also the captain of the fishing team.”

Li Duoyu was stunned, and then suddenly realized that Ganqing had called him here this time because he wanted him to be a lobbyist.

Li Duoyu still refused to give up: "Can I do it in the name of my Minlong Food Company?"

“You kid, you want to take advantage of everything. Why don't you tell the city leaders in person?”

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched: "Forget it, I'll go back and discuss it with them to see if they dare to borrow money to buy a boat." "As soon as possible, I heard that this interest-free loan policy will be gone soon. ”

Li Duoyu was quite depressed, as if he had lost hundreds of thousands.

Li Duoyu felt that he could not just take advantage of his uncle and third uncle. He had to sign a joint ship purchase agreement in private no matter what, and he had to hold 30% of the shares no matter what.

Just as he left the town committee compound, Uncle Chen in the duty room stopped him, holding a can of something in his hand.

“Director Li, these are the pickles made by our family. Let me tell you, even Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao are rushing to get the pickles made by my mother-in-law.”

Li Duoyu was not polite and accepted it directly: "Uncle Chen, next time I will bring some dry goods from the island for you to try."

“You can have this.”

In the past few days before the Chinese New Year, the town has been going to the fair every day, and the whole street is full of various street stalls.

Compared with the past, the fairgoers before the Chinese New Year are more festive. Many people sell red lanterns, and some write Spring Festival couplets directly on the street.

Li Duoyu didn't take two steps before he smelled the fragrance of tofu curd. He came to a stall selling tofu curd.

The stall was set up temporarily. There were two small tables next to it and several small bamboo stools.

“Uncle, how much did this bowl of beans cost you?”

“Five points sweet, seven points salty.”

Li Duoyu was immediately troubled. Why are these tofu pudding sellers so greedy? Why are they selling both sweet and salty products?

　　"Then take a bowl each of sweet and salty ones, and give me the salty ones first."

“Okay, right away.”

After a while, the steaming tofu pudding was placed in front of Li Duoyu. The salty tofu pudding had more side dishes, including fried peanuts, dried shrimps, green onions and coriander, as well as vinegar and sesame oil.

Li Duoyu stirred the tofu brain and then ate it.

Not two minutes.

Li Duoyu wiped out the tofu pudding. The vendor took his bowl and filled him with another bowl of tofu pudding. Then he took out a plastic bottle and squeezed some sugar water into the bowl.

Just when Li Duoyu was about to eat, a child beside him who was eating a bowl of tofu curd with his mother asked curiously:

“Mom, why did that uncle eat a bowl of salty food? It was not enough and he had to eat another bowl of sweet food.”

The child's mother whispered: "You kid, if you have money, you can eat whatever you want. Don't talk too much."

"knew."

Li Duoyu glanced at the mother and son. In this era, there are more people like them who are reluctant to eat a bowl of tofu curd, but he himself seems to be a little out of touch with the masses.

After eating tofu pudding.

Li Duoyu started shopping and saw from a distance that the Weili seafood shop was doing very well. He even saw Shitou, who was helping there and was responsible for killing fish.

It seems that his sisters all married here and opened seafood restaurants here.

Seeing that he was so busy, Li Duoyu did not go over to say hello to him. Instead, he came to the center of the fair, where there were the most people and many fixed stalls.

These fixed stalls are subject to management fees, and stalls can be set up here every day. Most of the stall owners are nearby residents.

The side on the left sells all kinds of food, including pork, goat meat, fruit, and noodles.

On the right side are those selling various daily necessities, including those selling cloth, some selling clothes, and some selling shoes.

Li Duoyu came to a stall selling shoes and pointed to a pair of white plastic shoes.

“Boss, how much do these shoes cost?”

A middle-aged woman with a cigarette in her mouth said: "These shoes are a new model released this year. They are very soft and very comfortable to wear. I'll sell them to you cheaper, ten yuan."

“Ten yuan is so expensive. You can buy ten pounds of meat. You can't sell it for four yuan.”

"If I sell it to you for four yuan, I will lose money to death. Go to other houses and ask them if they are willing to sell it to you for four yuan."

Of course Li Duoyu knew that these vendors were colluding and would not try to steal customers. Asking them would be in vain and they would just turn around and leave.

Seeing that Li Duoyu had really left, the vendor became anxious: "I'll sell it to you for five yuan, come on, five yuan really can't get any lower."

Li Duoyu turned around and said:

“Just four yuan, whether to sell it or not.”

The middle-aged woman holding a cigarette struggled for a while and sighed: "It's really hard to make some money from you. Four yuan is four yuan. Who did you buy it for? Does he know how many inches he wears it?"

“Buy two pairs, one with 22.5 inches and one with 23 inches.”

In this era, in addition to food, you can bargain when buying vegetables, seafood, and fruits. It feels a bit wrong not to bargain.

Next.

Li Duoyu bought another pair of Jiefang shoes for his father, and then bought a small music box for Xiao Tutu.

After buying something.

Li Duoyu was carrying a bag and was about to take a bus to Qingkou Pier. Unexpectedly, on the way back, he saw an out-of-town agricultural vehicle selling firecrackers and fireworks.

This thing is quite rare in this era.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "How much do these fireworks cost?" (End of Chapter)
