1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 291

Chapter 291 None of these people named Li are reliable

The day before New Year's Eve.

The mobile vendors on Dandan Island started earlier than in previous years, and their equipment has also been upgraded. In the past, they would just take some snakeskin bags, place them on the ground, and start selling directly.

This year, there are not only tables, but also simple rain shelters. Many people also bring quilts. Depending on the situation, they will spend the night on the island.

These mobile vendors were brought together by a motor boat, and a middle-aged bald boat boss was their leader.

The first thing the boat boss did after landing on the island was to carry a cowhide bag and go to the village committee to find it.

I arrived at Wang Dapao's office in a familiar way, only to find that the office door was locked. I tried knocking twice, but no one responded.

His knock on the door attracted Lao Liao. After seeing Lao Liao, the captain of the ship hurriedly asked:

“Brother Liao, isn't Captain Wang here?”

Lao Liao looked disgusted:

“How old are you, and you're still called captain.”

The boat boss touched his head. In fact, he originally planned to call him Party Secretary Wang, but he had traveled a lot.

I found that those captains who became village party secretaries smiled brightly when others called them captains, because the captains had greater rights.

“Excuse me, is Party Secretary Wang here?”

Old Liao shook his head. He glanced at the cowhide bag in the boat boss's hand and naturally knew what he was here for.

“Our Party Secretary is sick and is recuperating in the city. If you want to find someone in charge, I suggest you go to our Director Li.”

Wang Xianjun is sick?

The boss of the ship frowned, then handed Lao Liao a pack of imported cigarettes, and said politely: "I'm not familiar with this Director Li, can you recommend him?"

Lao Liao glanced at the cigarette in the boat boss's hand tangledly, and finally put it away and said with a smile:

“Director Li has been busy these past two days, so we may not be able to find him. I'll take you to his factory to have a look.”

Not a while later.

Lao Liao took the boat boss to the eel factory, and Li Duoyu was wearing water shoes and catching swimming crabs in the breeding pond.

“There are so many fish, so many swimming crabs, it looks like we are going to make a fortune this year.”

After Lao Liao finished speaking, he quickly introduced to the boss of the ship: "This is our director Li Duoyu."

After meeting such a young village director, the boat boss was stunned for a while, but then he stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Director Li, I am Nian Ruifa, who runs a street stall."

Lao Liao also introduced: "Duoyu, he brought all the vendors who set up street stalls during the Chinese New Year in our village in previous years."

"Hello."

Li Duoyu wanted to shake hands with him directly, but found that his hands were quite dirty: "I'm sorry, my hands are a little dirty."

The boss of the boat didn't care at all. He directly hugged Li Duoyu's right hand and shook it. He said enthusiastically: "We are all from the seaside. I have shaken hands no matter how dirty they are. Director Li is really a talented person. He became a villager at such a young age. director."

A rainbow farts down.

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, then frowned and glanced at Lao Liao.

Old Liao quickly urged: "Let's get to the point. Director Li is very busy. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."

The boss of the ship let go and said quickly: "That's right, I'm here to report the situation to Director Li. We have a total of twenty stalls this time. We will stay on the island for one night and leave probably tomorrow afternoon."

After the ship boss finished speaking, he picked up the cowhide bag and said, "Director Li, please be careful."

Li Duoyu glanced at it, then looked at Uncle Liao, and then said: "Uncle Liao, you are responsible for this."

“Duoyu, this is not acceptable. In previous years, Wang Dapao would have to sign for this matter.”

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Uncle Liao, there is actually no need to impose so many rules. It is a good thing to set up a stall in our village. The most important thing is the safety of using fire and electricity, and we must strictly prevent conflicts between vendors and villagers. , during the Chinese New Year, safety should be the first priority.”

"You are responsible for this. I am really too busy today."

Lao Liao struggled for a while and said: "Okay, then I will follow you throughout the next two days. Safety is the first priority."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“Then it's hard work for Uncle Liao.”

Li Duoyu then said to Nian Ruifa: "By the way, are the things you sell fresh? Just don't make the people in our village suffer from diarrhea."

The boss of the ship promised: "It's 100% fresh. If someone sells something bad, we'll pay three for every bad thing."

"I can rest assured that."

Lao Liao then said: "There are so many fish, so we won't bother you."

“Director Li, let's go first.”

Not far away, the second sister-in-law's face looked a little ugly when she saw everything, and she said to Li Yaoguo next to her:

"This Duoyu is really true. I don't want such a good thing, so I can give it to you. Why do my arms always turn outwards? The thing that the man carried in the cowhide bag just now must be a good gift. Now it must be an advantage for Lao Liao." "

Li Yaoguo said calmly: "That's because you don't understand. This is called avoiding suspicion."

Zhu Xiuhua snorted coldly: "I think it's better for Wang Dapao to give all the benefits to his brothers."

“So, Wang Jinjun was trapped by him.”

“That's because he is too greedy. We only need a little bit.”

Li Yaoguo sighed: "The Wang brothers were very good at the beginning, otherwise the villagers would not have elected them as team captains and cooperative directors, but later on they became more and more greedy."

Zhu Xiuhua frowned and said: "Let me talk about Li Yaoguo, have you been very fond of quarreling with me recently? You have to quarrel with me no matter what I say, right?"

"Hahaha."

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua becoming arrogant and unreasonable again, Li Yaoguo smiled awkwardly and picked up the notebook: "I'm going to register the data of the fish pond."

Zhu Xiuhua shouted with a dark face: "Let me tell you, I can tolerate you for everything else. Now that I am older, you have to get rid of my second child, otherwise I will never be done with you." And Li Duoyu on the side After hearing this, I couldn't help laughing.

Chen Wenchao also suddenly realized: "No wonder brother Yao Guo refused to go home in the middle of the night recently, and kept pulling me to make tea and chat."

Seeing the two people snickering over there, Zhu Xiuhua turned her head and looked at them with a dark face: "What's so funny? Now everyone has one child, and when they get old, two children will have to support four old people, and they will all get sick. Let's see what you do.”

Hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. For the first time, he felt that his second sister-in-law was so far-sighted and that he was really right about this matter.

Li Duoyu suddenly said to her second sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I support you in having a second child."

“That's pretty much it.”

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly came to Li Duoyu with a smile: "Duoyu, let me tell you, if I fire your second brother from the position of village accountant, he will no longer be able to rely on him."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and said to Chen Wenchao: "Xiaochao, catch the swimming crabs quickly. I'll go to the dock to see if the ship from Xinyuan Aquatic Products is here."

“Okay, Brother Yu.”

Looking at Li Duoyu running so fast, Zhu Xiuhua gritted her teeth and said, "None of these people named Li are reliable."

Chen Wenchao raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiuhua. Seeing that her face was dark, he quickly buried his head and continued to catch swimming crabs.

Suddenly, he felt that he was truly lucky to be able to marry a woman like Xiaolan, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“Thank you, Mazu!”

When Li Duoyu came to the pier, he found that the stalls were a little far away from the pier because the pier was particularly busy this year.

Every fishmonger is extremely busy, and unlike previous years, this year everyone is selling live fish.

Transportation of live fish has become much more difficult. The fishmongers Lao Mi, Uncle Zhuang, Liu Tuzi, and Heigou Gong all borrowed large fishing boats one after another.

There are all those big wooden barrels on the fishing boats, and I don't know where I got an oxygen pump, which is constantly pumping air into the barrels.

Old man Mi shouted with a loudspeaker:

“Live groupers, all six hairs.”

“Black sea bream, sea bass and three hairs.”

“Red snapper five cents.”

“If you want to sell, hurry up, the price is the best today, sell it early and make money early, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at this price tomorrow.”

On the pier, the group of fishermen who had stocked fish before heard the price and went to their own fishing rafts to pick up the temporarily raised sea fish and sell them.

Shitou was the first to learn from Li Duoyu. He raised a lot of groupers in the past six months. During the Chinese New Year, he sold them all in one go and exchanged them for more than 50 large groupers.

When the villagers saw him counting the money, their eyes turned red: "Shitou, where did you get so many groupers?"

“I can't tell you this.”

　　"You must be stingy, from now on when you go to sea, I will follow you directly."

At this time, the sampan of the Zhao brothers hurried back to the dock. Zhao Erniu shouted on the spot: "Lao Mi, what's the price of the large yellow croaker today?"

When the fishmongers heard that there was a large yellow croaker, they all looked at the brothers and found that there were indeed a lot of large yellow croakers on their sampan boat. The fish had not yet been caught and all were still hanging on the net.

“Damn it, this boatload of large yellow croaker weighs at least three hundred kilograms. These two brothers are really lucky today.”

“It's a pity that these large yellow croakers were caught during the day and have a little golden color on them. If they were caught at night, they would be valuable.”

Old man Mi shouted: "You fish, I'll give you fifty cents."

“Damn, you profiteer, normally a pound of large yellow croaker costs 40 cents, but during the Chinese New Year, you have the nerve to say 50 cents.”

“If you are a golden yellow croaker, I will take it for 80 cents, just to celebrate the New Year. Your white one is not so easy to sell. Ask other fish buyers, it might be even lower.”

Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while: "Okay, fifty cents is just fifty cents."

The two brothers untied a whole boat of large yellow croakers as quickly as possible.

More than 300 kilograms of large yellow croaker were finally sold for only 16 pieces of Datuan. After the two brothers got the money, they immediately drove out on the sampan boat.

Other fishermen suddenly realized something and drove their boats to follow the two brothers.

This year, because everyone is stocking up on seafood, the fishmongers at the dock suddenly found that their pockets were empty even after half a day of confiscation.

After selling the seafood, a fisherman said: "Lao Zhuang, you won't have no money to collect it, will you?"

Lao Zhuang was also anxious at the dock. He had already expected that the quantity would be huge and specially prepared an extra thousand in cash, but it was all spent within half a day.

What depresses him the most is that his son just shipped the first batch of seafood to the county store two hours ago.

At the fastest, it will take two hours to get back, and now the funds are difficult to turn over.

"Lao Zhou, I will give you forty first, and I will keep the remaining seventy for you, and I will give it to you later when my son comes back."

“Why are you still keeping accounts during the Chinese New Year? If you don't have the money, return the fish to me first and I'll sell it to others.”

Old man Mi on the side gloated: "Old Zhuang, you can take a rest."

When Li Duoyu saw this scene, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Zhuang, if you don't have enough money, I can lend you some first."

Old man Mi grinned and said: "Duoyu, I don't have enough money, so you can lend me some."

"Sure, but I have to charge interest if I borrow my money from you. If it's a thousand yuan, you just need to pay me back a thousand yuan a day."

“Damn, you're a loan shark.”
