1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 584

 The waters near Taizhou.

 A group of fishermen who specialize in catching jellyfish at this time every year are busy on the sea.

　　One fisherman cursed in local dialect: "Whoever caught all the jellyfish, you're an anti-aircraft gunner. You can't catch a boat in a day. Take a picture of Xinsang."

Seeing that this year's harvest was so bad, several young fishermen finally couldn't hold it any longer.

We boarded two speedboats and planned to go in the direction where the jellyfish came from to see what was going on.

 “Let's go and have a look.”

 They also want to know where exactly they were intercepted, and what worries them the most is whether this will happen every year in the future.

A young fisherman said harshly: “Anyway, most of their fishing boats have to pass by them if they want to go to Zhoushan Fishing Ground.

If they dare to intercept our jellyfish, they will also intercept their fishing boats no matter what. "

Another fisherman said: "Just talk to your own people, and keep your voice down when you go to other people's territory. Don't let us get caught in sacks when the time comes."

 They went upstream along the ocean current, and during the process they did see some fishing boats fishing for jellyfish.

 But it's all a small operation, without even a trawl net. It's impossible for them to wipe out all the jellyfish swarms.

After chatting with local fishermen for a while, I realized that they hadn't caught many jellyfish this year.

These young fishermen thought they could find the culprit who intercepted their jellyfish by running dozens of nautical miles.

Unexpectedly, the ship sailed and stopped for more than a day, and asked all the way to the waters of East Fujian, a hundred nautical miles away, but still no useful clues were found.

They didn't expect to drive so far. In this unfamiliar place, several young fishermen wanted to give up.

 But it's already here, and if you don't figure things out, you'll feel particularly at a disadvantage.

Although they can't stop others from cutting off jellyfish's hair, they at least need to know who did it.

 Fortunately, just before they gave up, an enthusiastic old fisherman provided them with a valuable clue.

“A few days ago, I heard a huge explosion near the little Elephant Island. It must have been fish frying. There are quite a few boats there. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

Following the direction pointed by the old fisherman, several boats arrived at the small island with an elephant trunk.

Perhaps because it is close to the Matsu Islands, there are obviously fewer fishing boats here, and they also found a relatively "dense" jellyfish group here.

Although there is no basis for this, they intuitively tell them that the jellyfish was cut off here.

At this moment, they saw a small fishing boat with a net on it, and there were two shirtless young fishermen on the boat.

One of their fishing boats approached, and Zhao Dahai and Zhao Erniu saw the strange boat coming towards them.

 The two brothers became nervous instantly and thought it was a fishing boat from Matsu Island.

Zhao Erniu held a spear in both hands, with a fierce expression on his face. If the situation went wrong, he planned to do it right on the spot.

I didn't expect the fishing boat to get close. The other party kept waving and even threw a pack of cigarettes over.

 “Brother, can you ask me something?”

After seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Zhao Dahai lowered his guard slightly, and Er Niu still pretended to pick fish. In fact, his hand was still on the handle of the gun.

After all, in the open sea, even acquaintances are more terrifying than sharks in the sea. It is not unheard of to sink people into the sea for fishing boats these days.

 “Ask, did anyone catch jellyfish here a few days ago?”

After hearing this, the Zhao brothers were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other party's fishing boats. One of them had the words Zhejiang and Taiwan Fishing printed on it.

Just a few days ago, Brother Yu told them not to fish too much and leave some for other places.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to the door. Zhao Dahai thought for a while and suddenly nodded and said: "I don't know very well, but it seems that there is really a fleet fishing for jellyfish here."

After hearing this, several young fishermen became excited instantly. After asking for two days at sea, they even sent out two cigarettes, and finally found a reliable one.

“Brother, which fleet is fishing for jellyfish here?”

Hearing this, Zhao Erniu frowned, thinking that Dahai was going to do something bad, so he directly stabbed Zhao Dahai with the fin of a fish.

His mouth was deformed from the pain, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It seems that the fishing boat from Matsu came to catch it."

After hearing this, these young fishermen found it a bit incredible even to themselves. It was actually a fishing boat from the Overseas Province that caught the jellyfish.

There was even a conflict with a local fishing boat, and both sides used explosives. Several young people were stunned for a while, as if they were listening to a war movie.

 At first, they didn't believe this statement, but not long ago, they heard the old fisherman talking about the explosion.

　　It's just right.

 It feels quite believable.

In addition, they have been out for two days and have traveled too far. They are not familiar with this area.

We can only walk close to the coast. It will take two days to go back.

“If you have the opportunity to come to Taizhou in the future, we will treat you to seafood.”

Zhao Dahai also waved to them and said, "Walk slowly."

After they left, Zhao Dahai kept shaking his right foot and cursed: "Er Niu, what did you use to **** me just now? Why does it hurt so much?"

“I stabbed you just now because I was afraid that you would expose the matter.”

　　"Shake the hammer, am I that stupid? Those people can tell by their accents that they are from other places."

Seeing how painful the sea was, Zhao Erniu glanced at the fish he just picked up casually, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

When the pain in the sea was so painful that his eyes closed, he quickly hid the golden drum fish and secretly threw it back into the sea. He said, "It's just an ordinary sea bream, it doesn't hurt that much."

“Wherever the snapper's sting hurts so much, it must be some other fish.”

"Then I don't know. It is said that urine can detoxify. Brother, how about I go pee and soak it for you."

 “Go away, I'll do it myself.”

Li Duoyu took a tricycle and arrived at the dormitory of Rongcheng Machinery Factory. He had just gotten off the car when the old man waving a cattail leaf fan immediately said, "Director Li came to see your brother again, and he brought so many things."

Li Duoyu replied: "Nothing, just some seafood on the island."

This old man, whom everyone calls Lao Xu, is quite envious: "The people at the beach are nice, and they always give you seafood, but it is too expensive for us to buy it."

“Uncle Xu, do you have a basin here?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Duoyu glanced at an enamel basin on the table and unscrewed one of the jellyfish jars.

“Director Li, if you really don't want it, I'll just say it.”

 “It's just a jellyfish, not a valuable thing.”

Then, Li Duoyu poured two or three kilograms of jellyfish from the jar and said: "When eating this, you need to soak it for two or three hours first, slice it, and then add cucumber, soy sauce, and vinegar."

 After pouring it out, Li Duoyu tightened the lid and said, "I will put the contents in this bucket first for you."

Seeing that Li Duoyu gave him so many jellyfish without saying a word, Lao Xu was really at a loss.

“Director Li, you are so polite, it makes me feel embarrassed.”

Li Duoyu smiled, and then carried another small bucket to the unit dormitory assigned to his eldest brother.

 After knocking on the door several times. Chen Huiying was surprised when she saw the grinning fourth child Li Duoyu, then stopped him and closed the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Duoyu outside the door heard his mother-in-law urging her sister-in-law to go back to the house.

“Yu Qin, a lot of fish are coming, hurry up to the room and feed them.”

Jiang Yuqin, who was breastfeeding her child, quickly put on her clothes:

“Aniang, Duoyu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a chat.”

“No, we can't break the rules. It's not good for you or the children.”

 “There are no outsiders here, so there's nothing wrong with it.”

Chen Huiying directly pushed the mother and son into the room: "Wait a minute, you are not allowed to come out, you know."

Li Duoyu, who was listening outside the door, was more in favor of A Niang's approach. After all, she was relatively weak after giving birth and had poor immunity.

 If you have casual contact with outsiders and get infected, it will not be very good for both the mother and the child.

After Chen Huiying locked Jiang Yuqin and the child in the bedroom, she came over to open the door and said slightly reproachfully:

 “You just came here not long ago, why are you here again and bringing so many things?”

Li Duoyu said: "A few days ago, I got some jellyfish. My dad thought they were delicious and asked me to bring some to you."

Chen Huiying frowned and said, "Don't make a special trip for this kind of thing in the future. We haven't even finished half of the dried seafood we brought last time."

Hearing that there were jellyfish, Jiang Yuqin in the room shouted happily through the door: "Duoyu, leave some jellyfish for me. The smell of those dried foods is so strong that I almost vomited, so I just wanted some jellyfish to relieve my tiredness." "

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, the jellyfish this time is really good."

Unexpectedly, Chen Huiying said on the spot: "You are in confinement and want to eat something as cold as jellyfish."

Immediately afterwards, Li Duoyu heard his sister-in-law wailing: "I don't want to drink that chicken soup or squid anymore. I just want to eat something light. I have gained more than ten kilograms and am almost like a pig." ”

Chen Huiying insisted: "No, you can't eat cold food during confinement."

Facing A Niang's insistence, Li Duoyu had nothing to do. After all, this is how they have been in this generation, and it is difficult for you to convince them.

I estimate that this is one of the reasons why many mothers do not want their mother-in-law to help them during confinement.

 Looking at the grandmother in front of me, although she is a bit paler than on the island, she still looks very haggard.

 At first glance, she looks like she hasn't slept well for a few days. To be honest, helping her daughter-in-law during confinement in the city is much more tiring than in the countryside.

 In the countryside, you can still chat with your neighbors and relatives when you are bored, but in the big iron box of the city, the space for activities is really limited.

And she doesn't have many friends or relatives here. Her daily tasks are probably to buy vegetables, make confinement meals, and help take care of the children.

 Zhou Xiaoying also experienced this kind of thing in his previous life, but what made him most uncomfortable was that he was obviously exhausted to death.

My daughter-in-law often complained why she didn't spend more money to live in a confinement center in the first place.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he had been as rich as he is now in his previous life.

I guess if I fry some cabbage for my daughter-in-law, she will smile and say it's delicious.

Seeing that his mother-in-law had a good relationship with his sister-in-law, Li Duoyu felt relieved. The last thing he wanted to see in this life was for his relatives to be wronged.

Li Duoyu put down a can of jellyfish and warned: "When eating, soak it in vinegar water for more than two hours before eating it. If my sister-in-law wants to eat it, try to soak it for more than four hours."

"What are you thinking about? How could you give it to your sister-in-law? If I had known you were here to deliver this thing, I would have let you go back."

 “Hey hey hey.”

Li Duoyu discovered that her mother-in-law has been living with her father for a long time, and sometimes she becomes a little bit "venomous".

"Let's go. After you help my sister-in-law finish her confinement, I will come and take you home."

 “I don't need you to pick me up, I can go back by myself.”

 When Li Duoyu came to the communication room.

Lao Xu may have felt embarrassed to take Li Duoyu's things for nothing, so he hurried home and brought a bag of dried plums from his hometown.

 “I don't have anything to give you, this is all I have.”

 Seeing Li Qian, Li Duoyu couldn't help but swallowed: "Thank you, Uncle Xu, this is such a good thing. It's very appetizing."

“Just like it, I'll bring you more when I come next time.”

After Li Duoyu returned to the guest house, there were three old smokers smoking in the room, and the room was filled with a strong smell of tobacco.

 After Zhang Jinbao saw Li Duoyu, he immediately said: "Duoyu, you are finally back."

“Let me introduce to you, this is Li Duoyu who is preparing to make jellyfish for export.”

The other two people gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, this is the first time I heard someone want to say this."

 Zhang Jinbao introduced with a smile: "Duoyu, let me introduce you. This is Lin Qingyun, Boss Lin, who specializes in making plastic shoes. You can buy shoes directly from him in the future, and you can get at least a 50% discount."

 Li Duoyu hurriedly shook hands: "Hello, Boss Lin."

“And this is Fang Zejiang, who specializes in transportation and knows many importers. You can ask him to help you contact the OEM.”

When Li Duoyu heard this person's name, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Boss Fang, are you from Fuqing?"

Fang Zejiang looked confused: "How do you know I am from Fuqing? We have met before?"

Li Duoyu said: "No, I just heard the accent. I'm from the county next to you."

 “That's it, I thought you knew me.”

 In fact, the name Fang Zejiang was very famous in their area in his previous life.

 Not only is he the largest eel exporter, but he was also the richest man in Fuqing City. He was also the man who led Fuqing brother on his African dream journey. In less than twenty years, Chinese supermarkets have opened in most of Africa.

 It is a pity that this person did not save his fortune in the late 1990s. After returning from Africa, he also imitated the big guys and started real estate. He also played diversified games and prepared to build a business empire.

 The reason why Li Duoyu remembers this name very clearly is because of his second sister-in-law.

 Because not long after Fang Zejiang entered real estate, he discovered that this industry is very expensive.

The money he made in Africa was simply not enough for him to burn, and bank loans also had problems, so he resorted to private fundraising and borrowing.

Since this person had a relatively high reputation in the local area, everyone believed in him, and people in nearby towns were happy to lend him money and earn high interest.

 But when the bubble burst, all the hundreds of thousands that the second sister-in-law had saved for more than ten years were taken away, and Haoran's down payment for buying a house was completely lost.

During that time, the second sister-in-law was almost crazy. She was sharpening her knife every day and kept shouting: "Swindle my money and chop that **** Fang Zejiang to death."

And someone like the second sister-in-law, who only lost her own money, was already doing well. Li Duoyu remembered that at that time, many people played high leverage and directly borrowed money from banks to lend him money.

 When it finally collapsed, several people even jumped directly from their houses because of this incident.

 Fang Zejiang was also sentenced to twelve years at the age of sixty-five for contract fraud.

But when I think about that time, the second sister-in-law was sharpening knives every day. This person is probably safer if he stays in prison.

 After everyone was introduced, Li Duoyu took out the bag of dried plums given to him by Lao Xu.

 “Come and eat some dried plums.”

 Zhang Jinbao smiled bitterly and said: "This stuff is delicious, but it's too sour. I don't even need to eat it. My teeth fell down when I saw it."

After everyone arrived, Zhang Jinbao coughed twice: "Now that everyone is here, as a senior, I will explain to everyone, what is the first step in foreign trade?" (End of this chapter)
