Soon the three tractors on the island arrived at the new dock, along with eight human-operated carts.
The pallet truck is a very important tool for pulling goods on the island, and its efficiency is not low at all.
If the quantity is not very large, people would still prefer to use a pallet truck. After all, it is much cheaper than a tractor.
If you take a ride in the village, it only costs about two or three cents.
However, the distance from the new pier to the eel factory is a bit far. If you take a trip, you won't be able to get off without a penny.
In the eel factory, Li Duoyu patiently taught his second brother and Chen Wenchao. Sometimes it was better to practice it once by talking about it a dozen times.
After Li Duoyu operated it once, his second brother Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao understood it immediately.
In fact, alum is not very good for the human body, but some knowledge is a bit too out of the ordinary for modern people, so Li Duoyu did not intend to explain it in detail to his second brother and Chen Wenchao.
That is, when adding alum, it must not exceed the standard. There is a bad substance in alum. If used in excess, it is likely to cause aluminum residue to exceed the standard.
It would be super scary to eat this kind of food in excess of the standard for a long time. It is said that this food is related to Alzheimer's disease and intellectual impairment in children.
Li Duoyu actually doesn't know much about this aspect. He only knows that when eating three-alum jellyfish, you must soak it in water for more than two hours. It is best if you add some vinegar. It is said that it can neutralize the aluminum residue.
It seems that for a long time, Chinese people have been growing up by bumps and bumps. This reminded him of the incident of spoiled sea eels at Haixin Eel Factory some time ago.
There will also be big-headed baby milk powder, black-heart cotton, etc. much later.
And Li Duoyu's batch of jellyfish is mainly for export, and the scale must be controlled carefully. Otherwise, if it is detected to exceed the standard, it may end up like the Haixin eel factory.
On the big iron-hulled boat, Zhuang Haiyang, who had limited legs and feet, was quite interested at first and kept collecting jellyfish brains, but as time went by, there were more and more jellyfish brains.
Preserving jellyfish brains has become a problem, because jellyfish brains are the gonads of jellyfish and deteriorate very quickly. Even if they are blanched and not dried or frozen immediately, they are still easy to rot in such hot weather.
He got those jellyfish brains yesterday because there was no place to freeze them, so they all went bad overnight. The rancid smell mixed with ammonia made even the dog shake his head when he smelled it.
Today, Zhuang Haiyang was too lazy to pick up jellyfish brains, so he made some cooking supplies and threw the rest into the sea to feed the fish.
As for the jellyfish blood, it is not very easy to scrape it off with a fish knife. It is faster to scrape it off with a bamboo knife.
Ke Duoyu said, try not to scratch it, because the quality of jellyfish skin is better if sold together with blood clothes.
If you scrape the blood off the jellyfish, it's like you took off the most important swim bladder when selling rice fish. If you encounter a naughty buyer, you will definitely argue with him.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
The number of jellyfish in the waters near Xiaoxiang Island has obviously decreased, leaving only sparse ones, and the latter ones are obviously much smaller.
These days, all the people in the fleet have been burnt to black charcoal. In order to catch more jellyfish, they almost never went back.
Instead, a simple shack was built on Xiaoxiang Island. Fresh water and food were delivered by the big iron-hulled boat in the village.
At noon, they did not dare to go to the sea to work, so they rested on the island.
Li Duoyu was afraid that they would suffer from heatstroke, so he bought them some ice-cold beer and ice-cold watermelon.
Of course it's not free.
The price is still the same as in the store, except that shipping and refrigeration costs are less.
Zhao Dahai held up the beer bottle and said to Wang Jinshan: "You used to be just like a pretty guy, now I'll just call you a black face."
Wang Jinshan bit off the beer cap directly with his teeth and started drinking it: "It's good to be black. If the people on the beach are not black, it's obvious that they don't work."
An old fisherman said: "Jinshan is right. The more tanned we seasiders are, the more money we can make."
But some people said: "Brother Duoyu is not very black, how come he makes so much money?"
Lao Lu couldn't help but hum: "His skin is not black, but his heart is."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. These days, Lao Lu's jellyfish have been severely punished by Li Duoyu, and they have been thinking about it all day long.
Zhao Dahai looked at the sea in front of him and said: "This jellyfish should be over. How much money did everyone make on this trip?"
Wang Jinshan smiled and said: "It's not bad. On average every day, it's almost seventy."
Zhao Xiaoliu, a new fisherman, has been very active recently: "I'm about the same, just like 100."
The fishing boat Zhao Xiaoliu rented was larger than the one they rented. It could accommodate four people and could carry much more weight at a time than their wooden boat, so it naturally made more money.
Zhao Dahai glanced at Zhao Xiaoliu: "Don't forget, you still have to pay the boat rental."
“We're so lucky. As soon as we rented the boat, we met Director Li who helped us make money. This trip has already made us enough money to rent the boat for half a year.”
Zhao Dahai had a dark face. He used to think that Zhao Xiaoliu was not a threat, but recently he discovered something.
That is because Zhao Xiaoliu is more popular than their brothers because of his young age. The young girls of marriageable age on the island naturally choose Zhao Xiaoliu first.
However, Zhao Dahai has already contacted the piling team and reported to the village committee that he plans to build a 100-acre kelp field this year.
Upgrade from fishermen to farmers. By then, you will earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. Once you buy a refrigerator and a large color TV, your wife will come waving at you.
The five days of fishing for jellyfish were really tiring. It was probably the most tiring time they had ever fished.
Even when collecting kelp, I have never been so tired, but when I think about it, everyone has made three to four hundred yuan in less than five days, and everyone's face is still happy.
After all, there are very few opportunities to make money like this. Some fishermen plan to give Li Duoyu a banner as soon as they return.
Li Duoyu also observed Xiaoxiang Island. This island has no fresh water resources.
The vegetation on the island is only shrubs. Generally, there are no big trees on small islands. One is a typhoon.
The other is that there are not enough fresh water resources, so only some bushes and the like can grow.
I heard from the old people in the village that during the war, this island was the front line and there were many soldiers stationed there.
Frequently being snatched back and forth.
The older generation also said that if the island had been lost, they would have probably turned the island into a gun zone.
So every time Little Elephant Island was recaptured, nearby fishermen would try their best to deliver food to the island.
At this moment, a fisherman who ran to the beach to relieve himself suddenly rushed back and shouted: "Director Li, we found a big treasure on the beach. Hurry over and see what it is."
Li Duoyu was also a little curious: "What kind of treasure is it?"
“It's long and looks like iron. It's covered with barnacles and half buried in the sand. You can't tell what it is.”
After hearing this description, Li Duoyu vaguely felt something was wrong: "Is it a bit like a big water pipe?"
The man nodded.
Li Duoyu frowned and took a look. Although there were thick barnacles hanging on it, he could see the shape of the thing clearly.
Li Duoyu ran faster than anyone else in an instant, and kept cursing: "You're crazy, let me see this thing."
Everyone saw Li Duoyu running so fast and couldn't help asking: "Duoyu, why are you running?"
Li Duoyu gasped for breath. Seeing that some of them dared to touch it, he cursed on the spot: "Baby, sir, if I guessed correctly, this thing should be a torpedo." Hearing the word torpedo, Zhao, who had just touched it, Xiao Liu was so frightened that he fell to the ground and turned pale.
A "wow" sound.
Everyone ran away and disappeared. Some people even ran further than Li Duoyu, gasping for air.
Lao Lu was also shocked: "Duoyu, is this really a torpedo? Aren't those things round? This one doesn't look like it."
Li Duoyu shook his head helplessly. Televisions were rarely popular these days, and fishermen had no magazines to read. It was normal not to recognize this kind of torpedo.
"The one you are talking about is placed on the sea surface to hit ships. It is called a mine. Torpedoes are different from this thing. They are specially used to hit ships."
Although Li Duoyu couldn't be 100% sure that the thing was a torpedo, he took a look just now and found that there was no rust and there were English letters on it. He estimated that it was probably left by America.
After all, the honeymoon period between the two parties has only been a few years, and they previously helped overseas islands to fight against us.
His secret tricks were used.
Li Duoyu didn't know why it appeared on the beach. It might have been blown up by a typhoon, or someone with a big heart might have dragged it here.
It just so happened that the tide was low today, so we were discovered by them.
Fishermen along the coast have a bad habit of dragging back whatever they catch in the sea, thinking they have caught some treasure, even if they catch cannonballs.
Li Duoyu was a little scared when he thought about it, and his heart was pounding. If it exploded just now, the dozen people who were watching, including him, might be broken into pieces.
I finally got reborn, but I don't want to just receive a box lunch.
This reminded Li Duoyu of a tragedy that happened in a fishing village in Jinjiang in his previous life. A fisherman came back with a full torpedo and placed it on the beach.
There happened to be a scavenger from the mainland who didn't understand the dangers of that thing. He might also think that the big iron lump could be sold for a lot of money, so he started picking it up here and there.
The fuse may have been triggered and it exploded on the spot. It is said that a pit more than ten meters deep was created.
The windows of a nearby factory building and more than 20 houses were shattered, and the scavenger was directly destroyed by the explosion.
This tragedy was quite sensational at the time, and border guards in various places also provided profound ideological education to fishermen like them.
From then on, the fishermen along the coast no longer dared to drag those rusty iron lumps casually.
As for those that were freshly painted, drag them home because there is a good chance you will receive a bonus.
After learning that the thing was a torpedo, the fishermen were a little shocked and couldn't help but want to kick the fisherman who discovered the treasure first.
“Chen Youshu, you are crazy. If it weren't for Director Li, everyone would have almost killed you.”
Chen Youshu is from Chenjia Village next door. He has become familiar with everyone during this period. Everyone scolds him when he sees him.
He was also very aggrieved:
"I don't understand either. What can I do? You don't know. It was Zhao Xiaoliu who knocked it just now."
Zhao Xiaoliu curled his lips and said: "You know this thing is a torpedo, Erniu touched it first, okay?"
Zhao Erniu: “It's none of my business.”
Old fisherman Lao Lu frowned: "Duoyu, what should we do now?"
To be honest, he had finished fishing for jellyfish and he really wanted to go back and didn't want to have to deal with this problem again.
Li Duoyu frowned and looked at the torpedo in the distance. If he didn't find it, he would definitely not take care of it.
But now that it has been discovered, it is necessary to take care of it. Otherwise, who can guarantee that next time someone will really knock this torpedo or drag it back as scrap metal for recycling, then the problem will be serious.
Seeing that the tide had begun to rise, Li Duoyu inserted a bamboo pole nearby and drew an arrow to simply determine the direction of the torpedo.
Finally, I randomly selected two more reliable people and asked them to keep an eye on this place and try not to let nearby fishermen come to this beach.
"Stones and the sea, you two are here to watch. Don't get too close, and don't let anyone get close. I'll go to the ship and notify the shore station and ask them to ask the border guards to come and deal with it."
When Li Duoyu contacted the shore station, many nearby fishermen learned the news through the channel, and some even sailed over to join in the fun, leaving Li Duoyu speechless.
I was really afraid that they would hit the torpedo directly with their ship.
This time, the efficiency of the border defense was relatively high. It took almost four hours to arrive at Xiaoxiang Island.
There were more than a dozen border guards with guns, and one person who looked like an expert.
But they still arrived a little late. It was already high tide and they couldn't see the torpedo at all.
After waiting for about another four hours, the tide receded to the same spot again.
As soon as the expert saw this thing, he immediately confirmed that the big iron lump was a torpedo.
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned a bit dark, and they started scolding Chen Youshu again on the spot.
The next step is to go through the process. The border guard first took pictures with cameras, and then drove everyone present to the back mountain.
He drove away all the fishing boats that came to watch on the sea, and also taught them a lesson and warned them.
Little Elephant Island used to be an artillery area. Do not come to this island casually unless there is an emergency.
Although they were all driven to the other side of the island, there were still many young fishermen who were quite curious.
Everyone covered their ears and hid behind a big rock in the distance to peek.
Zhao Xiaoliu said: "It's been more than half an hour, why hasn't it detonated yet?"
Zhao Dahai patted his head: "Little brat, just look good. Can you stop talking so much?"
A Bingge used sandbags to surround a safe spot not far away. Then, the expert placed a lot of explosives around the torpedo.
As the fuse was ignited, the expert ran away, then turned over and hid in the safe spot.
When everyone saw this, their hearts beat faster and they all covered their ears. They were so nervous that they could hear their own heartbeats.
After about two minutes.
With a loud noise.
Even though they were far apart, they still saw the huge fire and clearly felt the shock wave, which shook the nearby pebbles.
After the explosion, everyone can see a deep pit more than ten meters wide on the beach. Looking from a distance, you can see some smoke rising from the sand.
Li Duoyu also watched a lot of bomb explosion scenes in short videos in his previous life, but it was the first time in his life to watch an explosion at such a close distance. It was really completely different.
At the moment of the explosion, it felt like the hair on the whole person stood up. Especially at the moment when the shock wave arrived, the human body instinctively felt scared.
This reminded Li Duoyu that our country was also bombed by similar things in "Slavic".
I couldn't help gritting my teeth. I really wanted to earn more foreign exchange and buy some useful things back. (End of chapter)
