1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 433

Undecided when something happens,

Solve it by clearing the pond.

This is the second time Li Duoyu has suffered the largest loss since it started breeding.

The first time happened in the past life. One year, a typhoon was particularly strong, and all the oysters he farmed were blown to the beach, and they were all donated to tourists.

Fortunately, I have a lot of money in this life, so even if so many blue crabs die, I won't feel particularly distressed.

The most important thing is that crab seedlings are cheap, with each crab costing only one cent. In the previous life, even airplane seedlings cost thirty cents. Four-fingered and five-fingered wild mud crab seedlings almost all cost one yuan.

Li Duoyu did not blame his father in public, but planned to tell his second brother, brother-in-law, Xiao Chao and others privately the reason for the mass death of blue crabs.

Li Duoyu also knows very well that people of Dad's generation have experienced those difficult times.

Thinking of frugality as a dogma, special frugality, even if the buns are moldy, they will still be eaten after tearing off the skin.

Perhaps sometimes, being frugal too much can cause harm to oneself.

This is also the reason why Li Duoyu insists on eating with his parents. If he doesn't eat with them, his parents always like to eat pickled things, such as pickles, pickled bamboo shoots, pickled olives, salted fish, etc.

I have told them a long time ago that it is not good to eat those things often, but they are the kind of people who go in one ear and out the other, and the reason makes no sense at all.

In the previous life, the reason why my father left so early was probably related to his daily diet and personality.

He is a typical boring gourd. Even if he is very unhappy, he will not break out and just keep sulking with himself.

Even though I had a stomachache, I kept enduring it. In the end, I had no choice but to go to the hospital, but it was already too late.

If he was told that it was because he did not strictly follow the requirements to feed blue crabs, which caused the pond bottom to deteriorate and caused a series of problems, he would probably blame himself for a long time.

Even if his father complained that he did not take good care of the pond, Li Duoyu would accept the criticism with a silly smile on his face.

However, Dad is really not to blame for this. The fundamental reason is that Li Duoyu made a common management mistake.

As his breeding industry grows bigger and bigger, the current team of people is simply too busy.

In addition to taking care of the pond, my brother-in-law was also responsible for building the embankment. Chen Wenchao was temporarily transferred to purchase cloves.

The second brother is mainly responsible for the eel pond. It may be because of the lack of people, so Dad was asked to fill this position, resulting in the current situation.

If fault must be investigated, it must be his responsibility.

Because this is a typical management loophole caused by unclear division of labor and one person being used by multiple people.

Through this lesson, Li Duoyu plans to recruit more people, such as his second brother, to directly set up an eel breeding group.

Brother-in-law has set up a pond breeding group here. Chen Wenchao has also been assigned a few people so that he can help at any time.

After the tide begins to recede.

Li Duoyu opened all the sluice gates of the two ponds. Because there were three layers of barbed wire, there was no need to worry about the blue crabs escaping along the water flow.

It took nearly four hours to drain the water in the pond.

Just as Li Duoyu guessed, the blue crabs in this pond were finished. The situation at the bottom of the pond made everyone silent. They were densely packed with half-dead blue crabs, estimated to number between 20 and 30,000.

Lao Li, his second brother and his brother-in-law were very heartbroken when they saw Li Duoyu putting the dying blue crabs together with the dead crabs.

Li Zhengtian couldn't help but said: "If it's still alive, don't throw it away. It should still be edible."

“No, this crab with yellow water disease is smelly inside, and people will have diarrhea after eating it.”

“What a waste. At least you can keep the crab claws. Then, after they are cooked, they will be shared with everyone.”

"Dad, break it off and take a look. There is yellow water inside the crab claws. It smells like after being cooked."

“Should all these crabs be disposed of? Some of them look quite healthy.”

Li Duoyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "We have to deal with them all."

These mud crabs not only have yellow water disease but also black cheek disease. Even those that look healthy are probably carrying bacteria and parasites.

Sooner or later it will break out again. Unless you take "big medicine", there is no possibility of getting better.

Instead of grinding and grinding, it is better to clear the pond and dispose of it directly.

Lao Li sighed. He was really distressed. He rolled up a cigarette and started smoking. With so many crabs, even if they were sold for 10 cents each, they could be sold for two to three thousand yuan.

　In previous lives, some farmers and merchants did freeze these dying mud crabs and sell them to takeaway shops in order to reduce losses.

Some of the more conscientious ones only sell crab claws and crab meat.

As a farmer, Li Duoyu would not dare to eat blue crabs as long as they are not alive, because there is no way to guarantee the ingredients of this thing.

But one thing is certain, the price of live crabs is several times that of dead crabs, and no farmer is willing to kill live crabs for you to eat.

This reminded Li Duoyu of the "Tik Tok Crab" in a certain island province. The fishmonger can "resurrection" the crab through his skills.

Li Duoyu dug a pit and threw the blue crabs in the pond into it, preparing to bury the fertilization directly.

The villagers who came to watch were very distressed when they saw Lao Li burying buckets of blue crabs directly.

“Old Li, you are still alive, why did you dispose of them all? If you don't want them, leave some for us.”

Li Zhengtian said with a dark face: "Duoyu told me that I can't give it to you. If you eat it, you will have diarrhea."

“The diarrhea is ours, leave some for us.”

“Just now, the fourth child of my family pooped and peed on it just because he was afraid that you would pick it up secretly and eat it. If you think it's okay, just pick it up and eat it.”

“No way, so cruel.”

Lao Li would not tell them that Duoyu did this because he was afraid that he would pick it up and eat it, so he had no choice but to do so.

After hearing this, a villager who had just stolen a lot of blue crabs suddenly felt sick: "I feel strange, why does it smell like urine?"

“Old Lin, have you eaten it already?”

The villager named Lao Lin had a sad face: "No, I'm not that fast."

At this moment, Lao Lin suddenly held his stomach and said, "Damn it, it's over. Why does my stomach hurt so much after you said that? I must be poisoned."

The villagers who were watching were speechless for a while. They estimated that Lao Lin had eaten a lot of blue crabs secretly. After seeing that he had a stomachache, no villagers picked up the blue crabs and ate them.

Seeing that the village director had raised so many blue crabs to death was a wake-up call for the villagers of Dandan Island. The road to breeding was not that easy.

After Li Duoyu's green crabs died on a large scale, people came from the Fisheries Research Institute the next day. It was Li Duoyu who notified them, and quite a few people came, including five or six researchers.

They are all here to study the causes of death of these blue crabs.

Chen Dongqing smoked a cigarette and said with emotion: "There must be a lot of losses this time, it must be very difficult."

Li Duoyu said: "It's not much, why do you have to feel uncomfortable? There are always losses and profits in breeding. How can it be possible to make money all the time?"

Chen Dongqing frowned and said: "So many crabs have died, so you can't be more humble, act sad, hug your uncle's thigh, and ask for technical support or something."

“I don't think it's necessary. As long as there are no problems in the next three ponds, I will still make a lot of money from blue crab farming.”

Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched. "Ten years ago, I will definitely fight you, a big dog, to death."

Chen Dongqing held a cigarette in her right hand: "By the way, what did you do to this green crab? Yellow water disease and black cheek disease are so serious. This is not like the style of Expert Li like you."

Facing his uncle, Li Duoyu didn't hide anything: “The feed was mixed with small fish, which damaged the entire bottom of the pond, causing bacterial and parasitic infections.”

“You shouldn't. Didn't you say at the beginning that you would only feed blue crabs with shells and snails?”

“There was something wrong with the breeding process, and I didn't control it well. Just don't tell my dad the specific reason.”

When Li Duoyu said this, Chen Dongqing immediately understood: "Mr. Li, are you short of manpower? Do you want to hire me? I'm very cheap, as long as you give me two hundred per month."

"Okay, you can quit your job at the research institute and come work for me. I will give you a salary of two hundred immediately."

“You are a real dog.”

After Chen Dongqing finished scolding, he asked: "By the way, Director Zhang asked me to send a message and ask if the land for the institute has been selected for us."

“It's chosen.”

Next, Li Duoyu took his uncle Chen Dongqing to the Beilan collar and pointed to an open space full of bushes.

“I have discussed it with the village committee and this land is for you.”

Chen Dongqing frowned and said: "Why is it so biased? I think the area closer to the seaside is better."

“That piece has been reserved for a long time.”

“Who made the reservation?”

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "Comrade Li Duoyu is a proletarian fighter from Xiasha Village on Dandan Island who is committed to making everyone rich together."

Chen Dongqing looked disgusted: "You can't find anyone to raise a blue crab. What are you doing with such a large piece of land? Give it to us quickly."

“No, I'll circle the land first, and then when my Minlong Food becomes bigger and stronger, maybe it will come in handy.”

Chen Dongqing frowned. He couldn't understand his nephew more and more. So many blue crabs died, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

I always feel that his vision is very far-sighted, and what he is doing now seems to be paving the way for the future.

According to the leader's words, this comrade is very forward-looking.

This suddenly reminded him of what Director Zhang said: "Learn more from your nephew and look further ahead."

Chen Dongqing said: "The shrimp larvae will arrive in two weeks. This time our research institute will raise them with you."

“Then the raised shrimps belong to whom?”

Chen Dongqing said with a dark face: "We sent you the shrimp seedlings, and the research results are ours."

"This is acceptable."

After the two of them finished talking, Chen Dongqing returned the five foreign exchange coupons he had taken from Li Duoyu a few days ago: "I'll give you this money back."

Li Duoyu asked curiously: "Why, you don't want to buy a piano anymore? Don't you have enough money?"

Chen Dongqing sighed: "I originally wanted to buy it, but after looking at the price, I didn't dare to buy it."

Li Duoyu frowned and asked, "How much is it?"

“The domestically produced Zhujiang costs four to five thousand, and the imported Yamaha costs at least more than ten thousand.”

Li Duoyu frowned. He didn't expect pianos to be so expensive in this era: “Then I'll sponsor you to buy one made in Taiwan.”

Chen Dongqing shook his head: "Even if you give it to me, I don't dare to ask for it. With my salary, as long as you put this thing at home, someone will come to talk to you in a few days."

Li Duoyu thought about it and felt that he had been hasty. With his uncle's salary, if he really put a piano worth several thousand dollars at home, he might be invited to tea by the organization.

After finishing smoking, Chen Dongqing sat on the stone, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and said lightly: "We used to come here often in this place."

When Chen Dongqing said this, Li Duoyu's memory was suddenly pulled very far away and became very blurry.

“Well, there is more flat land and more grass here. Everyone likes to come here to graze cattle and sheep.”

“In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years.” Chen Dongqing smiled and said: “I remember very clearly. At that time, you swore on this stone that you would leave Dandan Island and go to the big cities outside.”

“Yes, why don't I remember it?”

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu and couldn't help but ask: "Now that you have made so much money, do you not want to leave Dandan Island and see the outside world at all?"

Li Duoyu said slowly: "You can make money on Dandan Island. There is no need to go outside. Besides, I like to stay with my family."

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing suddenly fell silent, and then asked: "When I just came over, I saw you collecting cloves. Is your order from Factory Manager Liu?"

Li Duoyu was surprised: "Do you know this list?"

“I know, after Director Liu received the foreign trade order, he immediately came to our research institute with samples and asked what kind of fish this clove fish is?”

“That's it.”

Chen Dongqing suddenly asked: "How much did you pay for this dried fish?"

“Two dollars and five.”

After hearing the price, Chen Dongqing took a breath and asked, "How much does Factory Director Liu charge?"

“Five yuan.”

At this moment, Chen Dongqing was silent. In fact, since his research direction was temporarily suspended, he has been very impetuous.

In addition, in the past two years, some people in the institute have resigned and gone into business.

Two people went to Sharp to cultivate seaweed and made very good profits. In less than a year, they earned as much as a small car.

His daughter-in-law Xu Xiaoqing would occasionally gossip with him, asking him to simply resign and directly engage in farming with Duoyu.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Are you excited? Come and join Minlong Food. I will leave you a position as deputy general manager and technical director."

“Go away, don't try to use capital to erode my loyalty to the organization. How could people like us get along with someone like you who smells like copper?”

“You are awesome, you are noble.”

Chen Dongqing did not tell Li Duoyu that if he left, the relationship between Dandan Island and the Fisheries Research Institute would probably not be as close as it is now.

If the leadership is changed, those agreements, breeding bases, etc. will have no binding force at all.

"Let's go." Chen Dongqing spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth: "You blue crabs died very valuable, and you have accumulated valuable breeding experience for us."

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

“Thank you, uncle.”

“Ah, what did you just call me? Say it again.”

“What did I say? You heard me wrong.” (End of chapter)
