1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 580

It can't be said that they were lucky. Maybe Li Duoyu and his friends happened to be fishing on the waterway.

It happened that the uncle paid attention and discovered them.

Minrongyu 056 slowly docked nearby, and Li Duoyu climbed onto their fishing boat immediately.

When the second uncle and the first uncle, two old smokers, saw him, they immediately asked: "Duoyu, what are you doing with so many boats?"

“In fishing for jellyfish.”

After hearing this, the two old men widened their eyes: "You called us back from the open sea, didn't you just do it to catch jellyfish? You are not afraid of losing money when fishing for this thing. This thing is okay in Zhoushan, but here we , the fishmonger doesn't even look at it.”

Li Duoyu is used to their reaction, just like when you tell Bangzi that we can eat as much rice and meat as we want, the other person looks shocked and doesn't understand.

But when Li Shuguang moved the first basket of jellyfish to the deck of the ship, everyone saw this kind of red jellyfish.

The old smokers frowned instantly: "Isn't this kind of red jellyfish only found in Zhoushan? Why can it be caught here?"

Li Duoyu waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know. The sea is so big, I can't control where they are going."

After seeing this kind of jellyfish, the uncle and the third uncle also felt a little confused.

Since they run boats outside all year round, they can be considered to have seen a little bit of the world.

Eating jellyfish is still very popular in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, especially in Shanghai. This kind of red jellyfish is a common appetizer at banquets.

They often fry the jellyfish skin with soybean sprouts, and then dip the jellyfish head in vinegar.

They have also eaten it once or twice. It is particularly refreshing when eaten in summer, and is very suitable for appetizers and drinks.

But the price is not ideal, certainly not as expensive as hairtail, cuttlefish, mackerel and other "big fish".

In the entire Zhoushan fishery, there seem to be only one or two villages that fish wildly when the flood season comes.

There is really no need to be so nervous. Not only did we dispatch the fleet, we even called them back.

Although I had already guessed that there was nothing wrong with the family, it was still a little uncomfortable to call them back just to catch jellyfish. After all, the big hairtails they caught were much more valuable than the jellyfish.

It's a bit ugly, even if it's red jellyfish, the batch of hairtail they caught is much more expensive than these jellyfish.

Seeing the uncle and third uncle frowning, Li Duoyu naturally knew that they had some minor objections and said directly:

“Don't think jellyfish are worthless. After we process them ourselves and export them abroad, their value can increase more than ten times.”

Hearing the word "exit", everyone on the boat pricked up their ears. In this day and age, the magic power of the word "export" is similar to that of smuggling and smuggling, but one is the right way and the other is the evil way.

Third uncle Li Zhengfa said curiously:

“Do foreigners also eat this kind of stuff?”

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "There is still a huge demand for this kind of jellyfish in the island countries and South Korea. When the time comes, I will go to the Foreign Trade Bureau. We jellyfish are specialized in foreign trade."

Third uncle Li Zhengfa sighed and couldn't help but said: "There are still benefits to fish. Every day we think about where to catch fish to make more money. Duoyu thinks about how to make foreigners' money every day. This is the vision." It's different.”

The uncle also followed up and said: "We old men can't compare with young people at all. What we earn is hard-earned money. Duoyu is directly robbing money."

Li Duoyu smiled: "No, I'm a serious businessman."

Uncle San frowned and said, "No, I remember that processing jellyfish is quite troublesome. It seems to have to go in and out three times. If you make it like Chenjiacun, no one will want it."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Uncle San, are you talking about three alum and two salts?"

"Yes, that's it." Li Zhengfa slapped his forehead, then looked at Li Duoyu in surprise, frowned and said, "No, how come you don't even understand this."

“I don't have any good qualities, I just like to learn. When I had nothing to do, I learned how to pickle jellyfish.”

“You boy, I wish Yu Jun had half as much brain as you.” Speaking of his son, Li Zhengfa couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing his third uncle talking about the Jade Army, Li Duoyu asked: "It's already the third year, when will the Jade Army come out?"

Uncle San said: "I have given him a lot of money in the past few years, and his performance is relatively good. If he is lucky, he should be able to come out around this time next year."

“That's pretty quick.”

But Li Duoyu frowned. It's not that the more money you give, the easier it will be. Those people will not let go of a fat sheep like Yujun so quickly.

If it doesn't matter, if you give me too much money, you might be able to come out later than others.

Li Duoyu planned to find an opportunity to talk a little bit, not to release him early, but at least to let him come out when the time of detention is up.

Li Zhengfa smiled and said: "Yu Jun has changed a lot now. When he comes out, can he come to your side? You can teach him well."

“This shouldn't be a big problem.”

Li Zhengfa sighed repeatedly when he talked about his son. He originally thought that Li Duoyu had such good connections and wanted to ask him for help.

But he was stopped by his eldest brother, saying that now everyone is staring at Duoyu and not to let this kind of thing affect his reputation.

But what made him most uncomfortable was that the old lady loved Yujun the most. Before she left, she had been quite sober those days, but she could not see the child for the last time.

Li Duoyu continued: "By the way, I remember everyone seems to know how to cut jellyfish."

The second uncle, who was smoking, said: "That's for sure. When we went fishing together in Zhoushan before, we handled jellyfish together."

Li Duoyu glanced at his second uncle and felt that he was a little thinner, and he still coughed from time to time.

“Second uncle, smoke less, or switch to something with a cigarette holder, and stop smoking this kind of dry cigarette.”

Second uncle said with disdain: "The kind with a cigarette holder is boring to smoke. It must be this kind to be exciting."

After Li Duoyu tried to persuade him once, he stopped trying again. After all, the act of persuading people to quit smoking didn't make much sense.

Most people cannot change some living habits before they have experienced life and death.

Li Duoyu said: "This time, just the jellyfish skin and jellyfish head will be enough. I don't want the rest."

Uncle Zhuang, whose legs and feet are not very convenient, said: "If you don't want the jellyfish brains, you can leave some for me. They are good for making soup."

The second uncle smiled and said: "There are so many jellyfish brains, can you finish them all?"

“Hmph, after I cook and dry the jellyfish brains, don't be so shameless as to ask me for them.”

“Let me tell you, why do you always take it so seriously? It's true that the older you get, the worse your temper becomes.”

If the amount is small, Li Duoyu will definitely not let go of the jellyfish brains, but when the amount is large, these things are usually thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

“Get up and get to work.”

Once he decided to help cut up the jellyfish, Chen Youzhi went into the cabin, patted the bed board, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is getting up and working."

Those fishermen who were still sleeping were all rubbing their sleepy eyes.

His son Chen Liang was hugging the quilt and kept making "poke-poke-poke" gestures. After being woken up, he looked unhappy.

“Dad, I just dreamed of holding hands with Liu Xiaoqing, and you woke me up. How long have I been holding back this dream?”

Several crew members asked one after another: "Did you get up in your dream?"

Chen Liang made a sad face: "No, no, I just took off my pants and I was interrupted."

"Hahaha." Chen Youyi looked at his son with disdain: "If you don't make money well to Liu Xiaoqing, you won't even be able to get a wife."

Chen Youyi continued: "Put on your waders and gloves. Get ready to cut the jellyfish. Don't get bitten later."

Chen Liang hummed: "What's so good about jellyfish? It's something no one wants."

Chen Youyi was just about to pat his son on the head, but after thinking about it, he stretched his hand back. If he continued to pat his son, he might become more and more foolish.

When Chen Liang and the others arrived on the deck of the boat, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The nearby sea was full of fishing boats from their village.

Almost all of them were acquaintances, and the deck was full of red jellyfish, both large and small. Before he could say hello to Li Duoyu, his father started scolding:

“Why are you still bothering? Get to work quickly, there are so many jellyfish.”

More than 20 veterans on the boat began to cut up the jellyfish. Wearing rubber gloves, they were not afraid of being bitten by the jellyfish.

After taking out a jellyfish, immediately cut off all the tentacles of the jellyfish, and then use a fish knife to separate the jellyfish skin and jellyfish head.

Several crew members found it troublesome and threw the jellyfish heads on the deck. Uncle Zhuang, who was in charge of cooking, had no choice but to pick them up himself.

He murmured: "Wait a minute, you guys, don't even think about giving me jellyfish porridge."

After processing by these crew members, three baskets of jellyfish were originally needed, but now one basket is enough, which greatly saves the space required for transportation.

The sea is still busy. After nearly four hours of fishing, the sun is already high in the sky.

After everyone finished breakfast, the sun became very bright, which scorched everyone so much that it became very hot after a while.

But everyone was obviously very happy. Zhao Dahai asked Wang Jinshan: "How much have you caught?"

Wang Jinshan replied: "About thirty yuan."

Zhao Dahai widened his eyes and said, "There are so many, so it won't be a problem for you to make seventy or eighty yuan in one day."

Wang Jinshan asked: "How many have you done?"

“Almost fifty like this.”

After hearing this, the nearby fishermen couldn't help but frown: "You two brothers, don't work too hard. Now that your waist is broken, you will have to lie down obediently after you get a wife."

However, some people were quite unhappy, and Lao Lu was cursing: "These fish are more evil-hearted than Lao Mi."

When others asked, they found out that he had bought nearly one hundred yuan just last night, but because they were hauled with a trawl net, many of the jellyfish skins were torn.

Then, at least one-third of the money was deducted, leaving only more than 70 yuan.

“Lao Lu, let's fish it out together with us. This thing is really easy to break with a trawl net.”

　　"How about fishing for wool? My boat is so high that even a male dog can't catch it by his waist."

Li Duoyu was also surprised when he looked at the whole boat of jellyfish skins and jellyfish heads. This boat would have been expensive in his previous life.

The processed ones like this are still wild and cost at least fifteen yuan per catty. This ship must cost at least seven to eight million yuan.

Seeing that the sun was getting bigger and bigger, Li Duoyu quickly sent the big iron-shell boat back first. After all, when the sun was bright, jellyfish turned into jellyfish very quickly.

As the big iron-hulled boat moved away, it was followed by a large group of skinned fish, more than a dozen sea turtles, and even a sunfish.

　　These sea fish had been eating a buffet beside the boat last night. Li Duoyu saw a turtle swimming very slowly.

　　I fished it directly onto the boat with a dip net, and then pried off the barnacles on it with a fish knife.

Then he put it back into the sea. The fishermen on Dandan Island would not catch the turtles, and would even take the initiative to protect them.

But if I remember correctly, this kind of turtle called the hawksbill turtle will have a very difficult time in the future.

Because of the special texture of its shell, it is regarded as a gemstone by island countries and is then made into various handicrafts.

When the fishermen know that the sea turtles can be exported to make a lot of money, some fishermen may not be able to hold back.

With the sun so bright, these people were still desperately fishing for jellyfish, and Li Duoyu was quite worried about them suffering from heatstroke.

“Everyone, take a rest, the sun is not so strong, let's go out and fish again.”

What he didn't expect was that all the people in the fleet were stunned.

The Zhao brothers replied:

“Brother Yu, don't worry about us. If it's too hot, just go to Little Elephant Island to take a rest.”

"Then I'll go back first. Please pay attention to your safety. I'll come back to you later."

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch. At this point, the second brother had already bought the salt and alum.

At present, only he knows the three-alumite processing method. Although he has written down the processing procedures to his second brother, he still wants to go back and be more conservative.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat quickly surpassed the big iron-hulled boat and headed straight for Dandan Island.

After more than an hour, we returned to the pier of Dandan Island. The fishmonger Lao Mi wondered: "How come you are the only one coming back with so many fishes."

Li Duoyu asked: "Uncle Mi, has my brother come back?"

Lao Mi, who was smoking, said: "I came back early and bought a lot of salt. I even helped him move a lot of it."

Li Duoyu was not polite and threw the boat rope to him and said, "Help me tie the boat."

I took two dollars and gave it to him: "By the way, Uncle Mi, my big boat is coming back soon. Please help me call the tractor master on our island. You can also come over with a dozen pullers. Remember it's a new dock." There."

Old Man Mi looked at Li Duoyu's hurried away figure and was very puzzled, but looking at the two dollars in his hand, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "You are stingy as hell, I only gave you two dollars, at least you should give me five dollars." "

Lao Mi looked at the sea. Today, all the fishing boats were called by Li Duoyu to catch jellyfish. He didn't have to do business, so it was good to make two yuan for free.

After Li Duoyu came to the eel factory, he found that his second brother was holding the handwritten list, but he didn't know how to start.

After seeing Li Duoyu coming, Li Yaoguo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Duoyu, you better do it. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and destroy your jellyfish."

When Li Duoyu was preparing the alum water, he said: "No salt is added when jellyfish are alum-fed for the first time. At that time, the jellyfish head and jellyfish skin are separated. The head is added with 0.4% alum, and the jellyfish skin is added with 100% alum. "0.6"

“The main function of alum is to shrink, dehydrate, solidify and expel toxins. The jellyfish from Chenjia Village next door will bite people when eaten, but the toxins are not completely expelled.”

　　While talking, Chen Wenchao on the side kept taking notes with a pen, and saw that he began to draw patterns again.

Li Duoyu came over to take a look and found that his simple drawing of jellyfish was quite nice. He seemed to have some talent in painting.

“Have you not gone to night school recently?”

Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "I've been a little busy recently. I have to help take care of my daughter at night."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that Xiaolan was pregnant again, and this guy would soon be the father of two children.

Li Duoyu next explained the process of trivitriol processing in detail and performed it himself.

At this time, the sound of "woo woo woo" whistle came from the sea.

The big ship has returned to the island. (End of chapter)
