1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 534

Li Duoyu sat with them and drank two cups of tea. Only then did he learn that it was Manager An who thought Jian Mei's frog sauce tasted good and planned to collaborate with her on a small brand.

Li Duoyu looked at Fan Shuyao's mother and felt that she was really business-minded.

But the taste of dragonfly sauce is very strong. Unless you have been exposed to it since childhood, it is difficult to like this taste.

It can be said that cricket sauce is a very niche thing. Even if it is made, it is unlikely that you will become rich and wealthy, but there is absolutely no problem in being well-off.

But when Manager An stated his intention for cooperation, what everyone didn't expect was that Jian Mei hesitated.

“I still have three children, and I don't have enough manpower. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. If it's a small quantity, it's okay, but if it's a large quantity, I'm afraid I don't have the ability.”

This was said quite euphemistically, but everyone present could hear that she probably refused this cooperation.

 “Ah~”

Xiao Lin was quite surprised. He didn't know how many people in Rongcheng asked Manager An to cooperate with him. Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to look for people, but they were rejected.

Although Li Duoyu was a little surprised, he seemed to understand her concerns. After all, their family's life had just gotten better, and he probably didn't want to put the family into a dangerous situation.

If it were anyone else, Li Duoyu would probably invest and even persuade the other person to do a good job.

 But Li Duoyu didn't intend to help her too much. As the old saying goes:

“There is much trouble at the widow's door.”

  It is better to be less tainted with cause and effect.

Even though he has been reborn for so many years, Li Duoyu still has a sense of indebtedness to Zhou Xiaoying.

The more successful Li Duoyu becomes, the more he feels how wronged and strong Zhou Xiaoying was in his previous life.

Such an outstanding woman gave up her own career path for him.

　　While Li Duoyu was still living a miserable life outside, she helped you guard this home alone so that you would have a shelter when you returned.

Just now, Li Duoyu also noticed that Xiaolin's eyes were not innocent, but he didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs at all.

 After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Duoyu casually found a reason and left the dry goods store.

Manager An also followed out, and the two walked together for a short distance by the river.

An Yuliang sighed: "The wind in Rongcheng is so comfortable."

Li Duoyu suddenly said: "How did Manager An think about the matter I told you last year?"

An Yuliang smiled and said: "It's hard to think about it. If I want to cooperate with you, I would be a little sorry for Brother Chen Jiao."

After An Yuliang finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "Don't you cooperate well with the elements? Why do you have to find me?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It is not a good thing for one family to dominate. I am afraid that some people are too young to grasp it, which will not be conducive to the development of the entire industry."

An Yuliang pondered for a while:

"What you said is quite good. It doesn't seem like something you can say at your age. Where did you learn it?"

 “Learned it from the leaders.”

An Yuliang sighed: "Actually, I have a good relationship with Yuan Yuan. I even hugged her when she was a child."

 Seeing that An Yuliang had no intention of cooperating, Li Duoyu had no choice but to say: "This time I went to Hong Kong Island, the leader talked to me and said that if I want to do something, I must be the first."

An Yuliang was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew who the leader Li Duoyu was talking about.

“Is it No. 1 in the province? This shouldn't be too difficult for Director Li.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "If we only want to be number one in the province, then I can just cooperate with Chen Yuanyu. I don't need to come to you."

 “Eh~”

An Yuliang was a little puzzled, then pointed to the top: "Do you want to be so big?"

 Li Duoyu nodded: "How about it, are you interested?"

Manager An frowned, lowered his head and thought seriously for a while.

"I can't give you an answer now. I have to go out for a walk in the second half of the year. If you still have this idea next year, I will have a good talk with you."

“Okay, Manager An, whenever you get tired of playing, we at Minlong welcome you at any time.”

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he drove away in the fishing boat. After hearing what he just said, An Yuliang couldn't sit or stand at the moment, as if there was a deer in his heart.

Just at this time, Xiao Lin, who went to buy meat buns, came back and asked: "Director Li, why are you gone? I bought him several meat buns. This one is particularly delicious."

Manager An looked at his apprentice with disgust. He was obviously about the same age as Li Duoyu, but why was there such a big difference.

 “We'll pack up our things in the next two days and we'll be ready to leave.”

“Master, didn't we just come back? Why don't we stay for two more days?”

Manager An scolded you directly: "You are so lazy, what you can achieve is nothing compared to others."

Xiao Lin's mouth was wide open, and he didn't understand why the boss was so crazy.

An Yuliang sighed. During this period of traveling around, An Yuliang understood that he actually didn't have much ability.

If you don't want to be embarrassed in front of Li Duoyu in the future, you have to hold on to the Buddha's feet for the time being.

When the two passed by the dry goods store again, Xiao Lin glanced into the store and couldn't help but said: "Boss, I didn't expect that the landlady became so beautiful after her complexion improved."

An Yuliang patted his head on the spot: "I already have three children, but you really like to be someone else's father."

Xiao Lin, who was beaten, touched his head and felt that the boss seemed to be stimulated. However, he glanced at the woman squatting on the ground washing crickets and couldn't help but muttered:

“It's like giving birth to three children, and the body is still in shape, which is the real best. Unlike the golden flower in our company before, she was quite beautiful when she was young, but after giving birth to children, she can't go back at all.”

An Yuliang warned: "Don't mess around with me. Find a serious partner to get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, if your parents come to me crying one day, I will be the first to kill you."

Li Duoyu did not go back to Dandan Island directly. Instead, he came to Qixing Bay and docked the boat at a temporary wooden dock.

There are already a lot of workers here, more than twenty, all of whom were recruited from Dandan Island.

 Some employees live in simple dormitories near the shrimp farm, and most of them live on the island. For this reason, Li Duoyu arranged a boat to pick them up in the morning and evening.

This group of employees all signed confidentiality agreements. Before formal employment, Li Duoyu had repeatedly emphasized to them the costs of leaking technology and violating the agreement.

 After all, if his shrimp farm is built, there will definitely be people from all over who want to poach people.

 This cannot be escaped for sure.

The only thing you can do is to add more insurance measures to yourself.

 There are also some core technologies, such as trimming shrimp eyes and training and breeding, which cannot be taught to them.

 After all, a Zhu Xiuhua has already appeared, and Li Duoyu cannot guarantee whether there will be another one.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the shrimp farm, the first person he saw was Uncle Zhang, who had no money to build a house after the house collapsed in the last typhoon. He is now a worker in charge of cleaning the factory.

This man originally had a bad temper and was as stubborn as an ox, but now after seeing Li Duoyu, his face was so full of smiles that wrinkles appeared.

“Director Li, you are here.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "How about it? Are you comfortable working here?"

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang's nose suddenly became sore. After the typhoon, Director Li asked the village committee to advance funds to repair his house and arranged a profitable job for him.

 “Very good, I don't even know how to thank you.”

Li Duoyu said politely: "We are all from the same village, so we should help each other."

Uncle Zhang, who is usually less polite to others, didn't know how to reply at this moment. He could only say: "Director Li, don't worry, I may not be able to fish, but you can rest assured about cleaning."

 “Then it's all thanks to Uncle Zhang.”

When Li Duoyu came to the factory, his uncle and brother-in-law were both there, and he found that both of them looked sad.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Chen Dongqing immediately asked: "When will your equipment arrive?" Li Duoyu frowned and said, "What happened?"

 “See for yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Dongqing pulled out a small basket of sea shrimps covered with crushed ice: "So many have died in the past two days, it should be the end of the life cycle."

The uncle continued: "I have separated the male and female, but they are still dying one after another. If this continues, they will not last two weeks."

Li Duoyu frowned. The life cycle of Chinese prawns is about one year. Generally, after completing the reproduction task, they will die one after another. Only some of them can live for two or three years.

Li Duoyu checked and found that almost all of the dead ones were female shrimps with paste. Logically speaking, they should start laying eggs in April.

 But he was dragged to the present by Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing, and it was expected that a large number of deaths would occur.

Li Duoyu said: "The equipment will arrive in the next two days, so let's not wait for the equipment and start directly. I will buy medical forceps, alcohol stove, and gauze for the filter now."

The uncle said disgustedly: "By the time you buy it, the day lilies will have been cold long ago. Mingsheng and I have already prepared everything, and the water has been filled in every pool in the factory."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, his nose felt a little sore. He stretched out his arms and grinned: "Uncle, come and give me a hug."

Chen Dongqing looked at him with disgust: "Isn't it disgusting? It cost me a lot of money. Remember to reimburse me."

Li Duoyu asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, you don't even have money to smoke, so how can you still have money to buy these things?"

 Chen Dongqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized the seriousness of the matter: "Don't ever mention this to your aunt?"

"Um."

Li Duoyu nodded. It seems that men of this era have a hobby, that is, they especially like to hide their private money.

Li Duoyu felt a little sad when he saw the dead prawns. The biggest one there felt like it was twice as heavy.

 Five are equivalent to one pound.

 The offspring of this shrimp are absolutely of excellent quality.

 Fortunately, there were enough broodstock shrimp prepared previously, more than 4,000 pairs, and this time around 300 to 400 pairs died. Overall, the impact was not very big.

The three people put on gloves, rolled up their sleeves and started working directly. However, Li Duoyu did not ask workers to help with this technical work.

Instead, he sent them back first and told his family that they would sleep at the shrimp farm tonight.

 Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing are mainly responsible for cutting the shrimp eyes, while Zhang Mingsheng helps them.

Li Duoyu grabbed a prawn, picked up the red-hot medical hemostat, and then clamped it directly on one of the shrimp's eyes.

 Subsequently, Li Duoyu arranged the female shrimps in the "marriage room" based on their individual sizes.

After Li Duoyu cut off the eyes of the shrimp, he just shook it with his hand and said, "This one will go to the No. 1 pond."

Li Duoyu has long numbered these nursery ponds. The so-called No. 1 ponds are those with more than two or two individuals.

In the pond, there are already many male shrimps waiting to be "shot", and the female shrimps with their eyes cut off will be there once they arrive in the pond.

That scene was quite exciting

  Pool No. 2 is one, two, eight or two taels.

 The reason for doing this is to cultivate excellent shrimps and strive to select the best quality shrimp seedlings.

 In a short time, Li Duoyu cut off the eyes of more than 200 prawns.

 Chen Dongqing glanced at him and frowned. He had been practicing secretly these days, but he was still not as fast as Duoyu.

How did this kid do it? Seeing his movements and efficiency, it doesn't look like he just learned it, but more like a veteran.

What Chen Dongqing admires the most is that Li Duoyu is really no worse than Zhu Xiuhua when it comes to work.

"well."

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but sigh, then he rubbed his waist and looked at the prawns in the ponds in front of him.

With the three of them, they probably wouldn't be able to finish the work all night long, so they had to work harder, otherwise these prawns might die at any time.

Just like this, the three people worked until late at night, and finally managed to get more than 2,000 prawns, and two or three hemostats were burned out.

 Fortunately, my uncle had anticipated such a situation and bought a few more for preparation.

Li Duoyu, who had been working continuously for more than six hours, stood up, then turned his waist and walked towards Pool No. 1.

 Normally, sea shrimps will stop mating if there is a light source, but because their eyes have been cut off, the female shrimps can't pick anything now.

 When you see white sperm pods on the belly of a female shrimp, you have to fish it out and put it in a special spawning pool.

 Some more efficient female shrimps have already started laying eggs now.

 The shrimp's legs kicked quickly, just like a hot wheel, with many fine white particles spraying out from it.

 The female shrimp does not spray it all in one go. It needs to be sprayed about three or four times. Wild prawns like this can lay up to one million eggs.

Like many marine creatures, prawns rely entirely on the number of eggs they lay to complete the continuation of their race.

At almost dawn, Chen Dongqing looked like a dead fish. He lay down on the ground and fell asleep regardless of whether it was cold or not.

"very hungry."

"No, I need to take a nap first, I can't hold it any longer."

Li Duoyu also had black eye sockets and his face was not very good-looking because he cut two-thirds of the prawns.

Due to holding the hemostatic forceps all the time, the fingers seem to be fixed now, and they can't stretch out for a while.

Brother-in-law is not much better. He was the busiest person last night. Not only did he have to catch the prawns for them to cut, he also had to put the processed prawns into the mating pond.

If there is a VX step counter at this time, it is entirely possible that my brother-in-law walked tens of thousands of steps last night.

 But the two of them still have a lot to do, and after some of the prawns spawn, they seem to have completed their mission and directly enter a state of half-death.

Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng still need to fish out these shrimps, although the taste may not be as fresh and sweet.

 But such a large shrimp, selling for five or six yuan per pound, is definitely not a problem.

Li Duoyu also felt a little hungry and was planning to cook a few female shrimps that had laid eggs to eat directly.

Unexpectedly, someone came to the shrimp farm early in the morning. Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng went out to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the people who came were Zhou Xiaoying and Li Shuihua, both of whom were holding magic baskets in their hands.

After seeing them, Li Shuihua said angrily: "You must have worked all night again last night."

 Li Duoyu grinned and said, "No."

Li Shuihua glared at him: "If not, don't even try to sleep during the day."

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Zhou Xiaoying actually brought towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

 The items in their baskets were cooked porridge, eggs, pickles, and even chicken.

 “So rich.”

Sister Shuihua said: "My mother-in-law said that I have to take good care of your health recently, and each one of you will need money or even your life."

Li Duoyu smiled.

While the brother-in-law and others were not paying attention, he squeezed towards Zhou Xiaoying, and then secretly took a bite.

Zhou Xiaoying was so angry that she stepped on him: "There is something wrong with you."

The uncle, who smelled the fragrance and was just about to come out to eat, saw the scene just now.

The whole person is like a defeated rooster. I really want to find a pillar and have a good collision.

 “Why is it that other people's wives are so nice, but my own wife is just here to collect debts?” (End of Chapter)
