1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 582

This time the fleet went out to catch jellyfish, and no one expected that it would end with this big firework.

After detonating the torpedo, the border guards were very grateful to the fishermen on Dandan Island for discovering the "time bomb."

At the same time, they will carefully search Xiaoxiang Island again during this period to ensure that there are no other explosives on the island.

In fact, before the relocation, they had defused a lot of mines and sea mines near Xiaoxiang Island. Unexpectedly, some mines still slipped through the net.

There are not many jellyfish on the sea now, so it doesn't make much sense to continue fishing.

Most importantly, the pond used by Li Duoyu to pickle jellyfish can no longer hold it. Now even the shrimp farm has cleared out many ponds specifically for pickling jellyfish.

This jellyfish fishing trip not only allowed these fishermen to earn money, but also enjoyed the fireworks for free.

After returning to the village, everyone set up the wine table and became "storytellers." Zhao Xiaoliu and Zhao Erniu, who had touched the torpedo, instantly became the outstanding people at the wine table.

A young man asked: "Xiao Liu, are you afraid when I knock?"

Zhao Xiaoliu said: "I was afraid of a hammer. I didn't even know what it was at that time. When Director Li said it was a torpedo, I almost peed my pants."

But some people noticed something was wrong.

“It stands to reason that the thing is rusty and no one can recognize it. How did Director Li recognize it?”

The villagers were also puzzled and couldn't figure it out for a while. He was the boss this year. Maybe Mazu told him.

On the sea surface of Taizhou, more than 300 kilometers away, several fishing boats on the sea were holding long fishing nets and constantly fishing in the sea.

But the more they fished, the more they felt something was wrong. The fishermen fishing for jellyfish all frowned.

“Lao Si, how are you doing over there? Are there any jellyfish?”

The fisherman named Huang Laosi shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's sparse and incomparable to before. How are you doing there?"

“Similarly, many jellyfish are broken when picked up.”

The old fisherman said:

“Is it possible that it was eaten by turtles and skinned fish?”

“There are so many jellyfish, how can we eat them all? Besides, those skinned fish only eat the feet.”

Although other fishermen think this statement is outrageous, there seems to be no better explanation now.

“It seems like I won't be able to make any money this year.”

Until they caught some jellyfish that looked a little strange. There were still net ropes hanging in the broken jellyfish heads.

Seeing this scene, everyone thought of the injured jellyfish, and these fishermen suddenly understood, and all of them had dark faces.

“Your uncle's.”

"This is someone who has cut off the beard. It's not a good thing for someone to kill with a thousand cuts."

Li Duoyu, who was stinging the jellyfish, couldn't help but sneeze.

It took five whole days of fishing.

All of Li Duoyu's ponds are filled with jellyfish skins, and these days, the salt and alum that Li Yaoguo originally bought are simply not enough.

The plastic cans used to hold jellyfish have even bigger gaps, and the cooperatives in the city are simply not willing to sell them such large quantities.

In the end, there was no other way, so Chen Yuanyu made a call and bought enough alum and plastic cans.

Since she was asked to help with this matter, as a businessman, Li Duoyu naturally mixed a lot of jellyfish and gave them to Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company.

Li Duoyu is not in a hurry anyway, but Li Yaoguo is really anxious about the company's finances.

These days of fishing for jellyfish, the company's average daily expenditure is more than 3,500.

The bulk of the money is the money to buy jellyfish, which costs nearly three thousand on average every day, plus all-inclusive gas expenses, transportation money, salt money, and alum money.

All kinds of expenses, adding up in five days, the total cost was about 18,000.

There is no trace of money yet, and he has burned so much money to go out, Li Yaoguo really can't sit still.

If the jellyfish sales do not go well, the company's money will only be able to operate for another three months at most. By then, it will really be unable to pay wages.

At that time, it will also be a time to spend money, because we still have to tidy up the kelp field, prepare to plant kelp seedlings, etc.

Li Yaoguo really wanted to talk about his younger brother, but the person involved was not in a hurry at all and was directing the workers in the factory.

“When adding alum, the alum must be controlled well. It cannot be too much or too little. It must be controlled at two hundred to one.”

Some villagers replied: "There are so many fish, how can we calculate two hundred to one?"

Li Duoyu scolded: "One pound of meat is boiled in two hundred pounds of water. Do you understand?"

The villager scratched his head: "I understand, I understand, more fish is a benefit, unlike what Xiaochao told me, four buckets and an iron basin, the devil knows what he wants to express."

The entire trivitriol processing process takes almost a week.

The earliest batch of jellyfish has almost completed the three-alum process.

In fact, it is not necessary to use three alums. Many merchants have started to sell two alums. However, when using two alums, the jellyfish are still relatively watery and heavier.

Many unscrupulous merchants often sell jellyfish with two alums as three alums.

But for Li Duoyu, the difference between the two is not very big. As long as they don't pretend to sell it at a high price, the taste of the two can be considered to be different. After all, not everyone likes crispy ones.

During this period, not only the villagers were paying attention to Li Duoyu's jellyfish, but Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao also brought several people over to inspect and study.

Looking at the jellyfish in the pond, Mayor Gao couldn't help but said: "I noticed that every time you make a move, you make a big move."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao's teachings are better."

Gao Tianyun hummed: "Don't put high hats on our heads, we didn't teach you anything."

“Yes, the ideological reports I made when I joined the organization were all guided by you personally.”

Gao Tianyun frowned and hurriedly said in Li Duoyu's ear: "Just talk about this in private, but don't let anyone know that I'm helping you."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "Of course, only a few leaders know about it. After all, I am only a junior high school graduate and cannot write such a profound ideological report."

After hearing this, Gao Tianyun almost spit out the wolfberry water he had swallowed, and wanted to kick Li Duoyu.

The village party secretaries and village directors who came to visit still didn't believe that this thing could make money after seeing Li Duoyu's jellyfish.

Especially Tang Wenchang, the village party secretary of Shangqi Village. He was full of resentment after the last time the kelp in his village was destroyed in a typhoon.

Originally he didn't want to come this time, but when he heard that Li Duoyu was working on jellyfish, he didn't believe that this thing could still make money.

“Director Li, if you spend so much money on these jellyfish, you are not afraid of losing your pants.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "When I first raised kelp and eels, everyone said the same thing."

Zhang Dongsheng from Langqi Village said: "If I had known earlier, I would have fooled around with Director Li earlier."

Director Lin from Chengtou Village also lamented: “It's a pity that we have to charge for kelp seedlings this year, and it's not a good time.”

Seeing this group of people keep talking about kelp, Tang Wenchang felt as if a cat had its tail stepped on, which was quite uncomfortable.

After visiting the jellyfish processing, most people still feel that the jellyfish cannot be sold at a high price and are not very optimistic about it.

"Well, let me make some jellyfish for everyone to eat. If you don't think it tastes good, then I'll accept it."

Li Duoyu was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly took several cans of jellyfish prepared with vitriol and went to Lao Yang's Fried Shop.

Soaked it in vinegar for more than two hours in advance, then put on an apron and picked up a kitchen knife. He cut the soaked jellyfish skin into strips, and his knife skills made the restaurant owner Yang stunned.

Seeing Li Duoyu start cooking again, many villagers came to watch. It seemed like a long time ago since he last cooked. Everyone had almost forgotten that Li Duoyu's earliest dream was to become a cook.

But what everyone is more concerned about is what tricks Li Duoyu can play with jellyfish. They don't believe how delicious a watery thing like jellyfish can be.

After the villagers of Chenjia Village heard the news, a large group of people came. They wanted to see how the jellyfish Li Duoyu spent so much money to make was different from them.

It doesn't take a while.

The entrance of Lao Yang Restaurant was full of people, and even the steps not far away were full of people.

Li Duoyu shreds the processed jellyfish skin and slices the jellyfish head, and then starts preparing various seasonings.

As a chef, Li Duoyu knows very well that jellyfish is all about texture, and what can really sublimate jellyfish are various sauces.

Fortunately, Lao Yang's restaurant has quite a complete range of sauces and various side dishes.

Li Duoyu took a few cucumbers, washed them, patted them with the back of a knife, and then cut them into pieces at an angle.

This time Lao Yang helped him, specializing in mincing garlic.

After Liduoyu has boiled the water, blanch the cut jellyfish in the boiling water for about six to ten seconds.

Immediately take it out and put it into ice water. Then, prepare the sauce with salt, sugar, light soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and add soul coriander.

A dish of cucumber and jellyfish with salad was ready. When people in Chenjiacun saw this dish, their eyes widened.

If they eat jellyfish, the most they can do is dip it in soy sauce and vinegar. There are not so many troublesome steps.

Seeing the very good-looking cucumber and jellyfish dish, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Judging from the appearance alone, it was a great relief from the heat.

Li Duoyu next made two dishes, one of which was "double crispy with coriander", and the double crispy ones were duck gizzards and jellyfish.

The appearance is also quite good-looking.

The last dish is much simpler than "Old Vinegar Jellyfish", but it looks simple, but there are not a lot of condiments in it.

There are mature vinegar, millet pepper, oyster sauce, white sesame seeds, white sugar, monosodium glutamate, minced garlic, etc.

Less than half an hour.

Li Duoyu prepared several plates of food. After seeing these dishes, Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao were also shocked.

This Li Duoyu seems to always surprise people, the grilled eel last time, and the jellyfish feast this time.

With a large number of villagers watching, Gao Tianyun took the lead in picking up the first dish of cucumber salad jellyfish and put it in his mouth after taking two bites.

His eyes widened instantly. As a coastal person, he had also eaten jellyfish, but the jellyfish made by Li Duoyu was completely different from what he ate.

Chen Shulin asked with a smile: "Lao Gao, don't just eat it, tell me how it tastes."

Mayor Gao said: "Don't ask me, you will know if it is good or not after you eat it."

The onlookers couldn't help but say: "Mayor Gao, why don't you stop being so secretive and just say it?"

Gao Tianyun rolled his eyes at them:

“If I say it's delicious, will you believe it? I'm 100% sure that Duoyu and I are wearing the same pants.”

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing. Chen Shulin also picked up the chopsticks and ate a piece of jellyfish first, and then a piece of cucumber.

Following that, his expression was the same as that of Mayor Gao. He had eaten a lot of seafood, but this was the first time he had such an experience.

It's crispy, fresh and fragrant, and the most important moment when you eat it is that the ice-cold texture chills your whole body.

Zhang Dongsheng also moved his chopsticks and started eating. He was a little rude. After eating, he said on the spot: "Damn, this doesn't feel like jellyfish anymore. How can it be so delicious?"

Immediately afterwards, he tried the plate of vinegar jellyfish head again. The crispy feeling gave him a completely different taste experience.

“Secretary Chen, Mayor Gao, try this, it's really indescribable.”

Next, Chen Shulin and Gao Tianyun tried every game, and then looked at the grinning Li Duoyu.

Feeling that there was no point in praising him anymore, he said seriously: "Duoyu, I think we can develop the jellyfish industry together. What do you think?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "That's okay. When the time comes, I'll go find you in person."

In fact, they are not the main jellyfish producing area here, and it was pure luck to catch this batch of jellyfish this time.

But there is a way to overtake in a corner, and that is jellyfish farming.

Maybe in the short term, there is no need to engage in breeding at all, but as jellyfish fishing intensifies, in ten years, there will be almost no such large numbers of jellyfish.

At that time, everyone will slowly turn to aquaculture, even jellyfish are no exception, but now it is not impossible to eat this cake.

At that time, Li Duoyu has opened up foreign trade, and he can go to Zhejiang Province to collect the jellyfish prepared with alum, process them and sell them to island countries.

Tang Wenchang, who originally wanted to throw cold water on the dish, felt his head buzzing after eating these jellyfish cold dishes.

Although he really wanted to say that with so many condiments, even if it comes with shit, it should be delicious.

But he has eaten local jellyfish, and it is incomparable to the one made by Li Duoyu. The local jellyfish is salty, astringent, and sometimes bites people.

The jellyfish made by Li Duoyu is really smooth in the mouth, crispy and fresh.

As tough as he was, he couldn't help but say: "Director Li, this jellyfish is really delicious, much better than our local ones."

Seeing that the Party Secretary of Tang Dynasty in Shangqi Village said this, the onlookers couldn't help but said: "Duoyu, don't stop, get some for us to try too."

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "It's fifty cents a piece, just pay and do it."

“Dear me, you are just looking for money.” A villager took out 50 cents on the spot and slapped it on the table.

“Give me one, and remember to add more soy sauce and vinegar. If it's not delicious, I'll give you a refund.”

The villagers of Chenjia Village squeezed through the crowd and took out one and a half yuan on the spot, one for each of the three dishes.

Seeing so many people wanting to eat jellyfish, Li Duoyu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was getting a cheap price.

50 cents, including these sauces, is just a matter of preserving capital.

He looked at the two barrels of jellyfish and Lao Yang's sauces, and said, "Only twenty portions are left."

Seeing that so many people want to eat this jellyfish, Yang, the restaurant owner, feels envious. He really hopes that business can be so good every day.

When Li Duoyu was cooking just now, when he helped Li Duoyu cook, he also learned it. These three dishes are not difficult, they are just ordinary home-cooked dishes.

But he also tried a bite just now, and it tasted really good.

The villagers of Chenjia Village originally didn't believe that the jellyfish made by Li Duoyu was any better than theirs.

But after eating, everyone was silent. This was not a question of how delicious it was, but the Li Duoyu jellyfish and the kind they pickled were not the same thing at all.

This thing is called delicious food.

If we really want to compare, the jellyfish they pickled are just pig food.

Because there were so many people, five or six people ate one dish together, and they all finished it as soon as it was served.

Someone immediately paid for it: "There are so many fish, give us another one."

The villagers who were still queuing up outside the door came directly in and carried them away, cursing: "There weren't many copies left, but I actually wanted another one." (End of Chapter)
