1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 577

Li Duoyu sometimes feels that he is too lucky. There are many kinds of jellyfish. In addition to cotton stingers and sand stingers,

There are also spotted yellow stings,

 Stick jellyfish,

Hums stings, etc.

But he happened to encounter the most expensive jellyfish. To be honest, Li Duoyu may not necessarily like other jellyfish.

Even if the sand stings ranked second, Li Duoyu had to think about it. After all, the jellyfish weighed only one or two hundred kilograms, and if a boat was full, it wouldn't be able to hold much.

 So when many fishermen catch sand stings, they process them directly on the boat and throw the unwanted parts directly into the sea.

 Just after being happy for a while, Li Duoyu started to get into trouble, because the swimming ability of jellyfish is very weak, and they prefer hitchhiking to swimming.

As long as you open the jellyfish umbrella, it is like a "sail", and the sea will take them to other places.

 So jellyfish generally do not stay in one place for too long.

Li Duoyu looked down at the tide for a while, and then looked to the east. This ocean current was heading towards Zhejiang Province.

If we don't catch them now, it feels like in two days, these stings will end up in the nets of fishermen in the next province.

Li Duoyu is really envious of the Zhoushan Islands now. There are endless fish to catch when he goes out. It's just God's food.

Li Duoyu snorted:

"No, this money must be earned, no matter what, I have to cut off his beard. They eat meat, and I at least have to drink the soup from my head."

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch and found that it was still early. He immediately sailed back to Dandan Island and went to his uncle's house as soon as possible.

After all, Xiaoxiang Island is still quite far away. Relying on small boats for fishing and transportation is too inefficient and you won't be able to catch much at all. You must have large ships that can load cargo to help transport it.

The first thing Li Duoyu thought of was the large steel tugboat that several of their relatives purchased together.

The deck is large enough and the fish hold is large enough. It is not a problem to haul dozens of tons at a time. It can even be simply processed and sorted on the ship, saving a lot of trouble.

Li Duoyu asked:

“Auntie, where is my uncle going this time?”

Zhang Guifen, who was washing clothes, said: "I said I went fishing for hairtail. It seems to be in the nearby waters, but I haven't returned to port for seven or eight days."

 “That's it.”

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Now is indeed the best time to catch hairtail. It seems that all the big boats along the coast have gone to catch hairtail.

It would have been really difficult to communicate with the original wooden fishing boat, but after switching to this big steel boat, all the communication equipment has been upgraded.

If the uncle and his fishing boat didn't go too far, there would still be a way to contact them.

Li Duoyu returned to his fishing boat and directly contacted the coast radio station using the ship radio.

 “The main station?”

“Hello, this is the shore station of the Mindong Fishery Headquarters Radio Station.” (The locals call it the main station.)

“Hello, front desk, I am Li Duoyu, the village director of Xiasha Village on Dandan Island.”

 “The main station has received it, please speak.”

“Can you please broadcast for me and ask Minrongyu 056 from Dandan Island to return to the island immediately after hearing the news?”

“No problem, Director Li, we will broadcast immediately, because it is a channel broadcast, there is no guarantee that we will be contacted.”

 Li Duoyu replied: "Thank you to the main station."

The other party also replied happily: "Our station director said it, and the station also thanks you very much for the detailed charts you provided us last year."

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled. The charts he provided really helped a lot of people.

 Not long after.

 Li Duoyu's fishing boat received wireless information from the main station.

“This is the shore station of the radio station of the Mindong Fishery Headquarters. If you hear the broadcast from Fujian Rongyu 056, please return to the island immediately. Director Li Duoyu of Xiasha Village on Dandan Island tells you to return to the island quickly.”

 In the era before mobile phones, this was the only way to communicate with fishing boats at sea.

Coast radio is unfamiliar to ordinary people, but for coastal fishermen, it is a channel that they listen to every day.

　　Not only can you predict the weather.

 When the fishing season comes, they will even directly notify the fishing boats to go fishing. When a fishing boat has a problem at sea, the first thing that fishermen think of is to call the main station for help.

Li Duoyu's imported three-way radio at home can even hear their intercom content as long as it is tuned to the broadcast channel of the main station.

 As early as a few years ago, the main station has announced the telephone number. If there is no marine radio station like Li Duoyu, if there is an emergency, you can still call the main station and ask them to help broadcast.

Not long ago, a fisherman suffered from acute appendicitis while fishing in the open sea. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the engine of the fishing boat. However, he contacted the main station in time and was rescued.

There is something even more outrageous. The wife of a ship owner in the next county gave birth to a boy. Her family was so happy that they called the reception desk and asked the front desk to inform the ship owner that his wife had given birth to a boy.

I thought I would be rejected, but the main station reported it anyway. Li Duoyu still remembers those words to this day.

　　【Li Dafu from Minning Fishing 045, your wife has given birth to a boy. Your family has asked you to stop catching fish and go back to pay the fine. 】

 For fishermen, coast radio is very good for them and can really help them with anything.

However, there is still an inconvenience. Contact is almost always one-sided. Whether the other party can receive it depends on luck.

After all, the broadcasting distance of the radio station is limited. If the fishing boat exceeds the broadcasting distance, it will definitely not be able to hear the broadcast information.

While thinking about these issues, Li Duoyu suddenly had an idea and remembered the phone call problem on Dandan Island.

If I remember correctly, it will be at least ten years before the landline telephone service on Dandan Island can be brought in.

Since wired ones are hard to come by, wireless can be done. If I remember correctly, there are many small electronics workshops in Quanzhou.

 Specializes in making high-power cordless phones, which seems to be called "Black Pearl".

 From Dandan Island to Qixing Bay, you only need to build a larger signal amplifier on the top of the mountain.

With a high-power cordless phone, you might be able to make free unlimited calls from Dandan Island to Qixing Bay.

At a place quite far away from Dandan Island, surrounded by the vast sea, there was a large boat with its lights on, fishing for hairtail with a row of hooks.

The bait they used were small tubes that could not be sold at a high price. Four or five people on the deck were reeling in the fishing lines. After a while, a hairtail fish that was brighter than stainless steel was pulled up.

The hairtail caught by fish is of the best quality and sells for a very high price, while the hairtail caught by trawling is usually sent to processing factories and the price is much lower.

 Ship boss Li Zhengtian was on the fishing boat. The ship's radio occasionally made a buzzing sound, and then some intermittent sounds appeared.

But as the fishing boat got closer and closer to the coast, Li Zhengfa in the captain's cabin suddenly heard a broadcast, and his whole face changed suddenly.

Because there are generally few contacts with fishing boats on land, every time there is contact there must be something big, so I immediately went to the ship deck to find my brother.

“It can't be that something happened to our family.”

Li Niantian frowned: "Duoyu, that's all you said, nothing else."

Li Niantian replied: "That must be because he is embarrassed to say something. Based on my understanding of him, if it was really urgent, he would have already said it. It is 100% that this boat is needed to pull something, but I am embarrassed to say it on the radio. Open on the channel.”

 Brother said this.

The third child, Li Zhengfa, also calmed down and said, "What should we do now?" Li Niantian frowned and thought for a while, then shouted to the crew members who were pulling out the hooks: "After pulling these few hooks, we will stop fishing and prepare for it. , we will return to Hong Kong soon."

Second uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, was very puzzled: "The harvest tonight is not bad. The hairtail is big and fat, so why don't we catch it?"

Li Niantian quickly explained:

"I just received a broadcast from the main station. Duoyu asked us to go back quickly. There is probably a more profitable business."

Hearing this, several crew members were stunned for a moment. When listening to the radio before, they heard about rescuers and childbirth.

They kept thinking that one day, someone could ask the main station to find them, but they didn't expect that they actually received it today.

After hearing that he was going back to Hong Kong, a shirtless young man jumped up for joy on the spot: "Damn it, I can finally go back to Hong Kong. My underwear is almost soaked."

His father couldn't help but patted his head: "If you don't wash yourself, who will do it if you don't do it?"

 Chen Liang touched his head and was about to say something about his father when he suddenly felt pain in his arm. The hairtail fish he caught bit his forearm with its sharp teeth, causing it to bleed on the spot.

Chen Liang grabbed the hairtail on the spot and threw it on the deck, and cursed: "Sa Linnei, how dare you bite me."

The rest of the crew members all laughed, and his father was also disgusted: "If you don't pay attention to catching fish, you deserve to be bitten."

The jellyfish is just passing through.

Li Duoyu has a lot to think about if he wants to catch it. Not only does he need to organize a fishing fleet, but he also has to consider the fishing nets.

In addition, we have to consider processing this area. After all, their area is not the main producing area of ​​jellyfish, and the processing factory is unwilling to process it.

And they are not very familiar with the trivitriol processing method. He has a good relationship with Factory Director Liu, but they will not embarrass their employees just to make you money.

 Li Duoyu thinks that if you want to do it, you should simply achieve the quality of export. If the local sales are not good at that time.

 Contact the Foreign Trade Bureau directly and ask them to help sell this batch of goods.

Just next to the eel factory and Qixing Bay, there are many vacant cement ponds for breeding. If they are cleaned, they can be used to process jellyfish.

 Speaking of it, this matter is quite urgent. If you want to make this money, you must be fast. The jellyfish flood season is very short.

Once you miss it, you will have no choice but to fish in other people's territory. If the fleet is too big, there may be a fight.

 So try to catch more jellyfish before they arrive in the next province. To put it bluntly, it only takes two or three days.

If you travel too far, it is not cost-effective to fish with your own fleet. The more expensive ones are the processed jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins.

 To process jellyfish, a large amount of salt and alum must be used, as well as some plastic buckets to hold the jellyfish.

Li Duoyu cannot do all these things alone, otherwise after he prepares these things, the jellyfish will not know where to go.

 After much deliberation, Li Duoyu still felt that his second brother was the most suitable person to be a purchaser. When the time came, he asked Xiao Chao to go with him.

After Li Duoyu came to his second brother's house, the little fat man who didn't soak his feet in warm water screamed on the bed.

 “It hurts and itches so much.”

Li Yaoguo also had a distressed look on his face: "Don't scratch me. Your uncle has told me that your legs will get rotten if you scratch me."

 Seeing Little Fatty like this, Li Duoyu also felt very distressed. The second brother's house is still an old house and the sanitary conditions are not very good.

The house is short, and if the weather is hot, it will indeed be quite stuffy. Li Duoyu frowned and said, "If you are itchy, come stay at my house and I will turn on the air conditioner for you."

 Hearing the words "turn on the air conditioner", Xiao Pangdun's eyes lit up and he jumped up from the bed: "Uncle, please turn on the air conditioner for me."

Li Yaoguo said angrily:

　　"Why turn on the air conditioner? You stay at home well. Turning on the air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity."

 After hearing this, Xiaopangdun was a little disappointed for a moment, and felt that his feet started to hurt and itch again.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Electrical appliances are just bought for use. If you don't turn on the air conditioner to save energy, it's better not to buy them."

“It just so happens that I have something to do with your father. You can come to my house to blow on the air conditioner these two days and ask your aunt to take care of you.”

Li Haoran was quite happy at first, but when he thought of his aunt, he immediately frowned. Although his aunt would no longer be his class teacher after this semester, he didn't know why, but he was still particularly afraid of her.

 But when he thought about being able to use the air conditioner, Li Haoran thought and struggled hard and said with a smile: "I'm going to live at my uncle's house and play with little Tutu by the way."

Li Yaoguo said with a dark face:

 “You boy.”

Li Yaoguo was also very happy when he heard that Li Duoyu was asking for trouble for him just now: "Is the shrimp farm too busy? Do you want me to come over and help?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said:

“It's something else, second brother, do you know President Wu of the county supply and marketing cooperative?”

Li Yaoguo nodded: "We know him. The last time he came to our island, I sat at the same table with him for dinner."

"That's good."

Li Duoyu took out a list on the spot and said: "Wait a minute, you and Xiao Chao will sail to the county supply and marketing cooperative, help the company purchase a batch of goods and come back, say that Minlong Company wants to buy it."

Li Yaoguo took the list and frowned after looking at the items to be purchased.

 Table salt: one ton.

 Alum: five hundred catties.

  Large sealed plastic buckets with lids: 500 pcs.

Li Yaoguo couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you going to do when you buy these things?"

Li Duoyuming said:

 “Prepare to process jellyfish and make some money.”

Li Yaoguo was stunned for a moment: "Can you make money from jellyfish? None of us at the beach are willing to eat it."

Li Duoyu smiled, just because people at the beach don't want to eat it doesn't mean that people in other places don't want to eat it.

Li Duoyu said: "Island people really like this thing. Once the quality is improved, it can be exported."

Li Yaoguo looked at the list and said again: "It should be possible to get edible salt and alum. This plastic bucket is very expensive and a bit difficult to get."

When the second brother said this, Li Duoyu realized that the plastic industry was not particularly developed in this era, so plastic barrels were still very expensive.

 Everyone thinks a lot when buying things. For example, after eating the canned food, the glass bottle will not be thrown away. It is usually used to pickle various small things, or to store salt and MSG.

Plastic buckets are even more useful. They can not only be used as buckets, but can also be used to hold various things.

 Li Duoyu continued:

“If President Wu doesn't have it, you can go directly to Rongcheng Plastic Factory. The salt and alum should be used quickly. You may need them in the early morning.”

Seeing that Li Duoyu was so anxious, Li Yaoguo glanced at Xiaopangdun and said, "Go to your aunt's house. Don't cause any trouble to your aunt, you know."

Li Haoran was so happy that he jumped up:

“You can turn on the air conditioner, dad. If you go to the county town, buy me a watermelon.” (End of chapter)
