1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 477

 When the weather is good, the boat paint dries fairly quickly, and it can be put into the water again after a day of drying.

 After being repainted, these fishing boats on Dandan Island will look like brand new.

At the beach, the tractor masters will also perform simple maintenance on the diesel engines of these ships, change the oil, clean the filters, etc.

 After the fishermen finished repairing their fishing boats, they also received their first business of the year.

 The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The loudspeaker in the village sounded the voice of announcer Lao Mao: "Notice, please listen carefully. Director Li's eel factory in our village wants to purchase eel fry. If any villagers want to catch eel fry, please go to the dock to find Chen Wenchao to learn about the situation. "

 “Notify again.”

At Dandan Island Pier, Chen Wenchao shouted with a loudspeaker: "Buy eel fry, buy eel fry. If you want to make money by catching eel fry, come and find out."

After he shouted this.

 All the fishermen near the pier gathered around, and everyone was very interested in the eels raised by Li Duoyu.

 The fishermen asked one after another: "Xiao Chao, how much do you charge for eel fry?"

Chen Wenchao said: "Each tail is worth one point, but the ones that are healthy and energetic should not be taken away from the dead ones."

After hearing this price, the fishermen present widened their eyes. One cent for each fish, this price is very high.

 “How many ends do you need to finish?”

 Chen Wenchao replied: "Almost 200,000 of them."

At the fish shop, a fisherman who planned to buy a sticky net immediately changed his mind and said, "Old Chen, there is no need to stick the net for now. Is there still a net that was used to catch cloves some time ago?"

 “There are two more.”

 “Then give me one.”

After hearing the price, the fishermen were all impatient and immediately set off to catch eel fry.

Seeing that everyone did not listen to what he said, they were about to catch eel fry. Chen Wenchao quickly took up a loudspeaker and said:

“Don't be anxious, everyone. I have caught eel fry here. Come and take a look first to make sure you don't catch the wrong ones.”

However, few fishermen listened to him seriously. Instead, some old fishermen teased him: "Xiaochao, when you were naked, we were already fishing. How could we not understand the eel fry?"

 Chen Wenchao was very helpless. Someone said this when he fished for cloves last time. As a result, many people caught small whitebait and later complained that he did not explain clearly.

 But this time, Chen Wenchao had no intention of spoiling them anymore, so he told Brother Yu that there were some things that he couldn't spoil.

Chen Wenchao shouted loudly: "If you don't look at it, you will catch the wrong one later, and I will definitely not accept it. Don't complain to me then."

After he shouted this, several old fishermen came over to take a look and found that the eel fry in Chen Wenchao's bucket were really different.

Chen Wenchao explained: "There are not many eel fry near our island. If you really want to catch them, I suggest you go to the estuary."

“It's so far, and it will take a lot of fuel to go back and forth.”

One fisherman lamented: "What do you think? Our Director Li's money is not so easy to make."

Chen Wenchao said: "If you want to catch eel fry, it is best to make a few screens and pluck a few chicken feathers to select the eel fry. Never catch the eel fry with your hands. The injured ones will not be collected."

After the Zhao brothers heard the news, they immediately set off in a sampan boat with the fine net they used to catch cloves.

 They had already learned about eel fry last year. They not only knew what they looked like, but also knew where to catch them.

 Actually, the two brothers are still a little resentful towards Chen Wenchao. They are obviously neighbors. This kind of money-making matter can be discussed with them in private.

There is no need to notify so many people. If everyone goes to the eel fry, the two brothers will make less money. Fortunately, they know this stuff better than others. As long as the efficiency is high enough, they can still make a lot of money.

In addition to purchasing eel fry, we also purchased red worms. The price this year is the same as last year, which is still two yuan per catty.

 The villagers who went fishing for red worms last year were very excited after hearing the news.

Although this job is a little dirty, it is definitely a good and profitable business for the villagers who do not have boats.

There used to be a lot of red worms in Xiasha Village, but after being treated by Director Li, the smelly ditches were gone and there were no red worms to catch.

On the other hand, Chenjia Village can catch them, but the number is not large. The most red worms are found in the smelly ditches in the town and county.

 Welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Before welcoming the God of Wealth, many villagers on Dandan Island had already started making money. To them now, Li Duoyu is definitely a little God of Wealth.

 These days, Li Duoyu has not been idle either. He spends almost every day at the eel factory.

After six months of renovation, Li Duoyu's eel factory has not only doubled in size, but its overall facilities have also been greatly improved.

 The breeding plant has primary ponds specifically used to grow eel seedlings, secondary ponds, and earthen ponds used to grow adult eels.

 At the same time, the heating equipment of the next level pool was upgraded.

 In fact, the solution to the constant death of seedlings at the Haixin eel factory lies in Li Duoyu, the eel factory, but even if it was put in front of the second sister-in-law, she couldn't understand it at all.

Moreover, the current eel factory is completely surrounded by a fence and there is a gate. As an "outsider", the second sister-in-law cannot come to the eel factory.

I have been stopped by the second brother Li Yaoguo once or twice, and can only be delivered to the eel factory door.

 The second sister-in-law was left speechless.

On the fifth day of the lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, the second sister-in-law was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she could only wait until her brother-in-law had finished welcoming the God of Wealth.

 Said rather humbly:

“Duoyu, can we go? Didn't you say last time that we would have time on the fifth day of the lunar month?”

 Li Duoyu thought for a moment.

“Okay, let's set off in the afternoon.”

"good."

 What Zhu Xiuhua didn't expect was that there were a dozen people going to Haixin Eel Factory this time.

Not only the village committee cadres, but also Zhang Erhu, his uncle, his eldest cousin Li Shuguang, and Shitou also went.

The second sister-in-law was confused: "Duoyu, why did you ask so many people to go?"

Li Duoyu joked: "I am not familiar with this place. I am really afraid that you will detain me and ask them to embolden me."

The second sister-in-law frowned and rolled up her sleeves: "With me here, how is it possible? If they dare to take action, I will slap them away."

Li Duoyu smiled, the second sister-in-law is indeed very powerful in combat, but no matter how good her martial arts skills are, she is still afraid of kitchen knives.

These days, there are a lot of village bullies and pirates, and there is no such thing as surveillance. Solving crimes depends entirely on one mouth and great memory recovery skills.

 When you get to other people's territory, you can do whatever you want. This reminded Li Duoyu of something.

 In the past few years, the "great achievements" of the kitchen knife team near the capital even promoted the civilization process of the entire society.

To be on the safe side, Li Duoyu took more than ten people with him, including Company Commander Zhang. A group of people took Li Duoyu's fishing boat to the eel factory in Haixin.

The eel factory where the second sister-in-law works is quite close to their Dandan Island. Li Duoyu's fishing boat can get there in more than an hour.

Even before the boat docked, you could see the five big characters [Haixin Eel Factory].

 After landing.

Li Duoyu looked at the eel factory in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this location was also used to breed eels in his previous life, and it was owned by a large farmer.

The location of this eel factory is really good. There is a flat land in front and a mountain behind. It seems that there is a mountain spring and stream on the mountain that can provide a continuous source of clean water to the eel factory. The scale of breeding is really large. There are actually two 5,000-square-meter factories, and the earth pond area is estimated to be 100 acres.

Possibly because the second sister-in-law didn't understand it very well, Li Duoyu felt that the investment amount was much larger than what the second sister-in-law told him.

People like Dandan Island were also very envious after seeing this factory. The eldest brother Li Shuguang couldn't help but joked:

“Duoyu, when will you do it on such a large scale?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It can be done, but the fresh water resources on our island are not good. If I want to do it on such a big scale, no one will be able to drink water."

To be honest, Li Duoyu started to become jealous after seeing this eel factory, and he even planned to consider selling this eel factory.

 As Li Duoyu and his party arrived, the leaders of Haixin Eel Factory came to the door to greet them.

 I was really shocked to see so many people coming, including people from the militia company.

 After the two parties met, Zhu Xiuhua quickly introduced Li Duoyu.

“Duoyu, this is Mr. Zhang, Zhang Sanming of our Haixin Group.”

 The two sides shook hands symbolically.

 “Hello, Mr. Zhang.”

The other party also had a smile on his face the whole time: "I've heard Xiuhua tell you about you a long time ago. You are indeed young and promising. You became the village director at such a young age and you also raise a good eel."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Mr. Zhang is so complimentary. I'm just lucky and don't have much ability."

Zhang Sanming glanced at the technicians and said with emotion: "As expected, the more capable people are, the more humble they are. It's not like some people who only have a superficial knowledge and then become famous."

 The faces of several technicians who heard this were burning, and they really wanted to find a crack to get in.

Zhu Xiuhua, who is also a "technician", also looked embarrassed, but continued to introduce: "This is Manager Zhou, the person in charge of our eel factory."

 “Hello, Manager Zhou.”

“Duoyu, this is Teacher Zhang Xuejin, you should know him.”

 After seeing Zhang Xuejin, Li Duoyu was quite surprised: "Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"

The corner of Zhang Xuejin's mouth twitched. If Li Duoyu didn't know he was here, he would have twisted off his head and played it with him as a ball.

“Teacher Li, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet you here.”

 Li Duoyu looked at the other person and said, "Teacher Zhang, your state is different from that of school. You look a little bad."

Zhang Xuejin tried his best to keep a smile, but he was scolding his mother in his heart. For more than a month after the eel fry accident, his boss pointed his nose at him and scolded him every day. He was so angry and angry. How could he look good?

Zhang Sanming said: "Xiuhua, please invite Director Li to the office for tea. Why are you standing here stupidly?"

“Mr. Zhang is right, Duoyu, it's been a hard journey, let's go have a cup of tea first.”

Li Duoyu shook his head: "Don't worry, let's just go to the factory to see the eel fry first."

"I just heard from my sister-in-law. I don't know the specific situation. I'm really worried that I won't be able to handle it."

Zhang Sanming smiled and said: "Director Li, you are so humble again. You have already offered the price, how could you not know how to deal with it?"

Li Duoyu said with emotion: "I did not set this price, nor did I earn this money, but the islander who cooperated with me asked for it."

Having been around Zhang Sanming for so many years, he naturally knew that Li Duoyu had made it up, but he didn't expose it.

"Okay, let's take a look at the fry first." Zhang Sanming said with emotion: "I regret not getting to know Director Li earlier. If we had known that eels were so difficult to raise, we would not have raised them. We can't even raise eel fry. How can we raise them to adulthood?" Eel."

Every word Zhang Sanming chatted with Li Duoyu was like a bayonet, stabbing into the hearts of Zhang Xuejin and Zheng Changqing, the breeding technicians.

After Li Duoyu came to their eel factory, he found that their facilities and equipment were really good and large in scale, and each pond had its own lighting.

But when I walked in and took a look, just as the second sister-in-law said, the activity of the eel fry in the pond was very low, and there were several dead and white eel fry in the corner.

Some of these fry are already quite large, and they are no longer transparent glass fry, but sunspot fry.

Li Duoyu reached into the pond. Just as he expected, the water temperature was frighteningly low. He had already guessed the reason.

  But these eel fry are not just suffering from white spot disease.

Li Duoyu scooped up some water from the pond and smelled it, then frowned slightly. Then, he saw what seemed to be uneaten red worms at the bottom of the pond.

“Director Li, have you found the reason for the death of the eel fry?”

"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I need to check it systematically. By the way, where do you keep the red worms?"

 “In the ditch of the factory next door.”

After Li Duoyu came to the factory next door, he found that there were a lot of red worms temporarily raised here, and he really wanted to move them all back to Dandan Island.

 Next, Li Duoyu checked many places, but every time he was just like the Riddler, he just didn't tell them what went wrong.

After all the examinations, Li Duoyu asked them to buy medicine and various things, but he did not tell them the specific cause of the eel's illness, nor did he promise whether he could help them cure it.

As for Li Duoyu, he learned this trick from those "eel masters" in his previous life. They like to make secret recipes, but they won't tell you how to cure it.

 Actually, it is just a minor illness that deliberately confuses you.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, after you have purchased the items on the list, ask my second sister-in-law to come over and call me. At that time, we will handle it further."

"Okay." Zhang Sanming nodded, then looked at his watch: "By the way, Director Li, it's already this time. Let's invite our brothers to have a casual dinner together in the town. Let's drink some wine and have a good chat. Share your technical experience.”

Li Duoyu declined politely: "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I'm the head of the family this year, and I really have something that I can't get out of. Once we cure the eel fry, we won't have time to celebrate."

Seeing Li Duoyu's refusal, Zhang Sanming was not angry: "With Director Li's words, I feel relieved."

Just when Li Duoyu was about to leave, Manager Zhou came over with a thick cowhide bag: "Director Li, we pay half of the deposit first, and we will pay the other half after the work is completed."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the large cowhide bag of money. Li Duoyu asked Shi Shi to help collect it, and then left the Haixin Eel Factory.

The first time he came to Haixin Eel Factory, Li Duoyu only stayed for less than two hours before sailing away.

 Wait for Li Duoyu to leave.

Zheng Changqing, a breeding technician at Haixin Eel Factory, frowned and said: "Xiuhua, your brother-in-law must be a liar, right? It feels like you haven't told us anything. You haven't told us how the eels got sick."

Zhu Xiuhua frowned. She was really not sure. She was also worried that this brother-in-law was not as powerful as she thought.

 But when they were noisy, Zhang Sanming sneered: "With all of you together, you probably can't fight against this Director Li."

“He must already know the reason, but he probably won't help us solve it right away.”

Zheng Changqing asked curiously: "Why? Is this good for him?"

“Those of you who are engaged in technology should learn the technology well. If you want to know why, use your brain more.”

Zheng Changqing frowned.

Zhang Xuejin has already understood. As far as he knows, Li Duoyu never does anything he is not sure about. If he is willing to accept the deposit, then nine times out of ten, it means that the matter is done.

When he thought of this, he felt very uncomfortable. He took the list and found that the things Li Duoyu asked them to buy were all optional. It was obvious that he was deliberately setting off smoke bombs.

 But he didn't dare to tell the leader that now Li Duoyu could only do it, and he had no choice. (End of chapter)
