1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 357

After driving the fishing boat into the Wujiang River system, Li Duoyu slowed down the boat and did not dare to drive the boat too fast.

Otherwise, if the waves surge, the boats setting out nets for fishing and those washing clothes and vegetables by the river will definitely be cursed.

Li Duoyu arrived at Rongcheng Pier and found that there were many fewer fishing boats on the pier, including fewer fishmongers.

It is estimated that it was also affected by the Qingkou Wharf Aquatic Products Company. If the second-level traders there could not collect fish, they would naturally not be able to sell it here.

When Li Duoyu's fishing boat arrived at Rongcheng Pier, it stood out from the crowd, surrounded by sampans and awning boats.

On the pier.

Whether they were selling fish or buying fish, they all looked at Li Duoyu's fishing boat.

They have never seen such a beautiful fishing boat. Most of the hulls are white, and the railings are still very rare stainless steel.

“This boat is so beautiful.”

“It's really handsome.”

What makes them even more curious is who is driving the boat. Some people think it may be some young man.

Some people think it may be a foreigner in a neat suit, while others think the boat is from Hong Kong Island.

When the cab is open.

What came out was a very ordinary young man, wearing a blue and white striped sea soul shirt, a pair of military green trousers, liberation shoes, and a tanned face.

The result was a bit beyond everyone's expectations, and the moment they saw this young man, their first impression was that he smelled strongly of seafood.

A fishmonger nicknamed "Stinky Tou" said:

“Liuzi, why don't we make a bet? I'll bet 50 cents that this boat doesn't belong to him. It should belong to some unit.”

Liu Zihui thought for a while and said:

“I don't even recognize the characters on this boat. It looks a bit like a foreign language. I think it may be from Hong Kong Island. This person must be the boatman.”

A fishmonger nicknamed "Crooked Mouth" said:

"It's hard to tell. Recently I heard that the fishing villages near the sea have made a lot of money from raising kelp. It seems that there is an island in Shangfeng Town. There are six households worth ten thousand yuan. Maybe they bought it after making money. Where's the boat?”

The fishermen driving the awning boats on the riverside looked at the fishing boat in front of them with envy. To be honest, they really wanted to go up and touch it.

After Li Duoyu tied the boat rope, the dock manager came over with a smile.

“Comrade, how long will your ship stay?”

Li Duoyu thought for a while:

“If it's fast, it will take half a day; if it's slow, it may take a day or two.”

The administrator smiled and said: "Then you can pay half a day's payment first. When the time comes, if you exceed it, you can make up for it."

"sure, no problem."

Li Duoyu has been to Rongcheng Pier several times before, and this was the first time he saw the administrator being so polite to him.

　　In the past, people would just lie there and listen to the radio, with an iron box placed next to them, and everyone would go over and pay.

"By the way, comrade, your boat is so new. I suggest you stop inside to avoid being hit by other boats. I can't afford the compensation."

Li Duoyu glanced at his fishing boat: "It's okay. My boat has a lot of tires, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

“Well, I'll try not to let other fishing boats park next to your boat.”

After Li Duoyu boarded the pier.

He could clearly feel that everyone was looking at him. There were quite a lot of people at the pier and it was crowded. But when he walked forward, these people gave way to him intentionally or unintentionally and cleared a way for him to get out.

Li Duoyu finally experienced the happiness of rich people and understood why those people must drive luxury cars and luxury yachts.

　　We are not celebrities, and we all have similar faces, so we can only rely on these things to emphasize our identity.

And his fishing boat is probably rarer than the Santana running on the road, so these people naturally think he is very awesome.

This feeling made Li Duoyu feel inexplicably happy.

It seems that it is better to have money.

But let's be honest.

Li Duoyu in his previous life was just like these people. When he saw real rich people and leaders, he would lose control of his body and move aside involuntarily, trying not to block their way.

The fishmongers who had just made the bet came together. “Comrade, which unit does your fishing boat belong to?”

“This boat is private.”

Some of the people who listened with their ears pricked up could not help but feel their hearts tremble.

The fishmongers looked at each other in confusion. The fishmonger named Liuzi asked, "Then are you from Hong Kong Island?"

Li Duoyu replied directly in the local dialect: "Have you ever seen a Hong Kong Islander who can speak Rongcheng dialect?"

Hearing the smooth local dialect, the fishmonger Liu Zi knew that he had guessed wrong, but he still did not believe that the boat belonged to him.

“Comrade, please ask again, where did you buy this boat? Why have we never seen it before?”

Li Duoyu thought that since he was already showing off, he might as well just pretend to be awesome.

“This boat was imported from the island country. I don't know how much it cost, but someone else gave it to me.”

The fishmonger was stunned. They all stared at each other. Their intuition told them that the young man in front of them didn't seem to be telling lies.

While they were in a daze, Li Duoyu had already left Rongcheng Pier, and the fishmonger nicknamed "Crooked Mouth" suddenly said:

“Give me money quickly, give me fifty cents each.”

“Tch, you're crazy about money. You didn't win, so why should we give you money?”

He said with a crooked mouth: "I know who he is. Do you feel that he looks familiar?"

When he said this, the other two fishmongers frowned and started thinking. They looked a bit familiar, and they felt like they had seen them somewhere before.

Waizui reminded:

“Not long ago, Rongcheng Daily reported on kelp farming on Dandan Island.”

The two of them reacted instantly. Someone went directly to the newsstand at the dock and bought an expired newspaper for one penny.

When I turned to the fourth page, my eyes widened.

“Damn it, why didn't I remember it was him? This guy seems to have been in the newspapers several times.”

“Now you know it, give me the money quickly.”

The other two fishmongers looked at each other and frowned: "Did we just talk about a bet? It seems not."

“No, I don't remember this happening.”

“Damn it, you two bitches, you don't have to pay me. You'll treat me to pig blood later, and I'll add more intestines.”

Li Duoyu left the pier, and more than fifty meters to the right was the Japanese food shop opened by Chen Yuanyu.

Looking over from a distance, I found that the business was quite good. A few days ago, when Chen Yuan Yuan went to the island to buy kelp, he even complained to him.

She originally wanted to open a real Japanese restaurant selling sushi, sashimi and the like, but it turned out that these items were not very popular.

And she became a fried food shop as long as it was open.

Fried chicken wings, fried shrimps, and fried pork chops are all doing very well, and her store also has iced CocCola.

Li Duoyu thought that by adding two slices of bread crust, a piece of green vegetable and some salad to those fried things, maybe it could be renamed Golden Arches.

Li Duoyu walked about another five hundred meters and came to Xiahang Street not far away, where there were many old-fashioned buildings from the last century.

When Rongcheng was a trading port, it was the most prosperous place. Later, because the roads were too small, the shops here were moved to Rongcheng Wharf.

Arrived on this street, Li Duoyu saw many shops selling ancient goods, including those selling candles, bamboo baskets, brooms, and two or three Chinese herbal medicine shops.

Li Duoyu did not go directly to the owners of these shops, but walked 20 meters forward.

There is a big iron gate there, with the characters "Rongcheng United Distribution Company" written on it with dragons and phoenixes dancing on it.

They saw Li Duoyu standing at the big iron gate. Inside the iron gate, the guard uncle who was taking a walk shouted: "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Li Duoyu directly took out his business card: "Uncle, I'm looking for manager An Yuliang."

Seeing that this person had a business card, the security guard was a little surprised. Manager An never gave people business cards casually. Those who could have his business card were all people with good backgrounds.

“Manager An is out for the time being, but he should be back soon. I'll take you to the reception room to wait for him.”

“Okay, I'll trouble you then.” (End of chapter)
