Suffering from back pain and leg cramps, Li Duoyu finally understood the suffering of his second brother at this moment.
After a man reaches a certain age, his legs will go weak when he really sees his wife.
It's easy for a man to do it. Sometimes, it doesn't take more than two minutes, but it's not easy for a woman to do it. Your waist is almost broken, but the other person still thinks it's a little bit worse.
The next day, Li Duoyu woke up late as expected, but he couldn't stay in bed. After all, a group of children were watching "Journey to the West" in the lobby of their home.
Li Duoyu didn't know how many times he had replayed it. He felt that no matter how many times he replayed it, these children would still like to watch it.
Especially Xiao Tutu, a big speaker who is thin and small, but has a very loud voice. He shouted excitedly:
"Master, it seems that I was captured by a monster again."
Li Haoran said calmly: "It's normal. Master will be captured by monsters every episode."
Zhang Lin, who came to watch TV together, asked: "Brother, why does the master have to be captured by monsters every episode?"
Li Haoran scratched his head and couldn't answer for a while, but Xiao Min, who was already in high school, replied: "Because that's how the original novel "Journey to the West" was written."
But what really woke Li Duoyu up was not these noisy children, but the sound of the village radio.
[Important notice, the temperature is relatively low today and there is fog on the sea surface. If you sail out to fish, you must be careful and do not go to unfamiliar places.
In addition, villagers who want to make money by clipping kelp seedlings or tying kelp should come to the pier to sign up.
Today, Lao Lu's family at the village dock is going to collect kelp seedlings. Those who collect kelp seedlings on the shore will pay at least one yuan a day, and those who go to sea to tie kelp seedlings will pay at least two yuan a day.]
After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but scolded him for being stingy. The money has become thinner and thinner in the past two years.
No one is willing to work for one yuan a day. The minimum wage is two yuan, and those who help on the ship all start with four yuan.
Li Duoyu yawned, got up with a pair of panda eyes, and then rubbed his waist, feeling that his lumbar muscles were strained.
It seemed that he needed to strengthen this muscle exercise, and Li Duoyu, who got up shirtless, couldn't help but trembled, feeling a chill, and it was a bit cold in the bedroom.
There is no sunshine outside the window. It is rainy today, and the sound of water dripping from the eaves can still be vaguely heard.
Winter Solstice, it really is Winter Solstice!
After getting dressed and opening the window, I found that it was raining lightly outside, and the sea and the top of the mountain were covered in fog.
This should be regarded as the most annoying weather for fishermen. If there is fog on the sea, it is easy for fishermen to lose their way when going out to sea.
Generally speaking, when it comes to foggy weather, everyone tries to avoid going to sea. Li Duoyu glanced at the pier.
Someone is already unloading kelp seedlings. After all, Dandan Island's kelp cultivation area is particularly large this year, so the kelp seedlings can only be collected separately.
If everyone were to squeeze in those few days, it would be too busy for all the men, women, and children on the island to help.
He had the largest kelp field. Li Duoyu was not in a hurry to compete with everyone for people and boats, but decided to wait for half a month.
When Li Duoyu came to the hall, all the children were so focused on watching "Journey to the West" that no one even noticed his presence.
Xiaoying, her eldest brother and sister-in-law are not here either. They must have been asked by her mother to go to the Tianhou Palace to pay her respects.
Li Duoyu had a simple breakfast, put on a bamboo hat and went out, planning to go to the eel factory first.
I found Chen Wenchao coming over with a bucket of seawater. When Li Duoyu went over to take a look, he found that it was actually a transparent eel fry.
"Xiaochao, what time did you wake up? Why did you catch so many eel fry so early in the morning?"
Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said: "I happened to wake up early today, and I heard someone said two days ago that eel fry had been caught, so I went to try it. Unexpectedly, I actually caught it."
"Not bad. If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about the eel fry."
Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder: "You should be responsible for the purchase of eel fry and red worms this year."
Chen Wenchao said with a naive smile: "Brother Yu, is the price still the same as last year?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "But this year, the eel fry will not be raised on the island. They will be unified at Qixing Bay. You may have to go there to collect the fry."
"Okay, got it."
"By the way, Xiaolan is a few months old now. Do you want to take care of her at home?"
Chen Wenchao replied: "It has been eight months. Now my mother-in-law is helping to take care of the baby. I am still relatively free."
"Then you can come over later and follow me to the pond to catch some prawns and blue crabs. I plan to grill some dried shrimps."
"Okay, Brother Yu."
At this moment, Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing his naive look, Li Duoyu frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"That's right. I think the two percent dividend is too much. Can it be reduced to one percent?"
Li Duoyu was dumbfounded: "Too much? Are you trying to be sarcastic with me? Do you think it's too little?"
Chen Wenchao became anxious on the spot: "No, it's really too much. I feel like I haven't been of much help. I feel a little embarrassed to share so much money."
Chen Wenchao has been really depressed recently, because Xiaolan is pregnant and his abilities are limited, so he can't help with some important things.
The second brother Li Yaoguo not only manages the eel factory, but also manages the company's finances.
Zhang Siming is in charge of the shrimp farm. The shrimp plague was very serious some time ago, and he is very busy every day.
Even the new Liu Yun went to the eel factory in Nanri Town to help, but he couldn't help much. At most, he could only help Brother Yu with odd jobs.
But it would be fine if he received less dividends, but he has 2% of the company's dividends.
In the past, his brothers-in-law scolded Li Duoyu for being stingy, so they gave him 2% and scolded him for being stupid.
Now when I see him every day, I can't help but want to praise him and say that he is really smart.
Chen Wenchao had no idea about this until his wife gave him a simple calculation a few days ago.
For the first time, Chen Wenchao realized how terrible his two percent was. He had already received a dividend of nearly 10,000 yuan before the shrimps were sold.
If all the shrimps and blue crabs are sold, there will be a dividend of nearly 30,000 yuan.
For this amount of money, other people would probably wake up laughing in their dreams, but Chen Wenchao and Liu Xiaolan became worried.
No reward for no merit.
What the couple can be sure of is that Brother Yu's business will only get bigger and bigger. Last year they only divided 10,000 yuan.
This year it has doubled.
If it continues at this rate, it might be 60,000 to 70,000 next year.
Liu Xiaolan felt that if Chen Wenchao had not grown up and kept taking so much money, someone would definitely gossip about him.
Chen Wenchao said a little anxiously: "Brother Yu, how about you arrange more work for me? I can do at least two jobs by myself. If I am too busy, I will feel a little guilty."
Seeing Chen Wenchao's depressed look, Li Duoyu immediately knew what he was thinking.
This guy has never been very confident since he was a kid, always feeling like he has no abilities. And Li Duoyu also knew very well that all Chen Wenchao's lack of confidence came from his family. After all, in the early years, his family could be said to be the poorest in Xiasha Village.
Li Duoyu also wanted to reuse him, but his math level was really a headache.
Li Duoyu didn't want him to be doing odd jobs all the time. It was best to be on his own and responsible for a project.
Li Duoyu asked: "Didn't I say some time ago that if you feel too free, you should go to night school. Have you been attending classes during this time?"
"Yes. As long as I'm free, I go to every class."
"Okay, then let me test you and see how well you are doing in math now?"
Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said: "I have already mastered two-digit multiplication and division. I am still learning other more difficult ones."
Li Duoyu was startled and asked quickly: "What is 45X35?"
Chen Wenchao frowned, calculated for a while and said, "The answer is 1575."
Li Duoyu was stunned. He just said it casually. He wanted to take out his computer and calculate it, but found that Chen Wenchao had already calculated it.
This is quite embarrassing.
Is it possible that this kid is not stupid, but just because his family is poor, he missed the great time of studying?
Li Duoyu didn't believe it and deliberately asked a difficult question: "What about 77X77?"
Chen Wenchao replied: "It's 5929."
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and asked, "How did you calculate it so quickly?"
Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "Teacher Zhou taught us that when encountering such numbers that are troublesome, just add them up first and then deduct them.
I calculated 77X80 first, and then subtracted 77X3. "
Li Duoyu looked at the small calculator in his hand. Although this thing is easy to use, it will also make you dependent.
Li Duoyu said without a beating heart and a blushing face: "Yes, you have made great progress. You are almost catching up with me."
Li Duoyu coughed and said, "The dividend is for you. If you don't make a big mistake, I won't reduce it to you.
If you feel that there are too few things to do, the feed factory will be officially operational when the company opens in the spring next year, so you can go directly there and become the person in charge.
I told you in advance that I will not reduce the dividend for you, but if you want to increase it, it will not be that easy. You have to make a big contribution before I will increase the dividend for you. Do you know? "
"Brother Yu, I don't have much experience. Would it be too much to be the person in charge from the beginning?"
Before Chen Wenchao finished speaking, Li Duoyu said in a deep voice on the spot: "We are in business, so we must be ambitious. If you don't even have a goal and are afraid of trouble, you will definitely not make progress.
Besides, we are all young people, so we should be energetic in doing things and not be timid all the time.
Let me leave it at that. The goal of our feed factory is to become the largest aquatic feed manufacturer in East China within five years. "
Chen Wenchao couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He really wanted to slap himself twice, but he also regretted it. He wouldn't have asked if he had known better.
I saw that he was scared and stuck there.
Li Duoyu waved his hand: "Hurry back and tell your wife the good news. Tell Xiaolan, don't think about the things you have and don't have all day long. If you have money, just take it. No matter how bad you are, you will still be the number one employee of our company."
Chen Wenchao smiled happily: "I know, Brother Yu."
After Chen Wenchao returned home, he immediately told Liu Xiaolan the good news.
"Brother Yu agreed?"
"Well, I didn't say it. Brother Yu took the initiative and asked you to help Brother Yaoguo."
"Then, have you told Brother Yu about your dividend?"
"I told you, and he scolded me."
Liu Xiaolan was surprised: "What did you scold you for?"
“He scolded me for being unmotivated, unambitious, and unpromising, and told me not to think about what I have and what I don't have all day long.
In addition, Brother Yu planned to let me be the person in charge of the feed factory, and he also said that I would become the largest aquatic feed manufacturer in East China within five years. "
Liu Xiaolan was stunned. She was a little clever, but Brother Yu saw through it without even thinking about it.
At this moment, she realized deeply that Brother Yu was probably about to start a big business, and Chen Wenchao was probably already behind.
Liu Xiaolan gritted her teeth: "You don't need to worry about the family affairs, and you don't need your help to take care of the children. Now you can follow Brother Yu wholeheartedly, first figure out the matter of the eel fry and red worms, and then concentrate on studying the feed factory. "
Chen Wenchao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll give you a hard time about the family matters."
Liu Xiaolan smiled and said: "It's okay, just follow Brother Yu and do your work. Besides, if our baby is a girl, you will have to earn more money to pay the fine."
Chen Wenchao said: "If she is still a girl, I will admit it and there will be no need to give birth again."
"But you are the only child in your family. I want to give birth to a boy for your family."
Chen Wenchao's eyes were a little red. He suddenly felt that he was really lucky. It was really great to grit his teeth and swim back from the sea that night.
After Chen Wenchao returned to the eel factory, he took the ground cage and went to the shrimp pond to catch shrimps with Brother Yu.
Not long after the cage was put in, when it was pulled up, it was filled with prawns and blue crabs.
The prawns are already very big, with at least one or two in each head.
Blue crabs are very big, weighing as much as a pound, and their claws are particularly thick. Under normal circumstances, blue crabs can be put on the market in three or four months after farming.
Because blue crabs are also known to love stealing, the longer they are raised, the higher the attrition rate will be.
But because this batch is mixed culture, Li Duoyu's shrimps are not scheduled to be available until the end of the year, and it is difficult to catch them separately.
Blue crabs will be on the market at the end of the year. Li Duoyu caught a blue crab and knocked on its shell. He found that it was extremely hard and not hollow inside.
Since there are many razor clams at the bottom, Li Duoyu has been feeding various yellow clams.
Every blue crab here is particularly fat and the crab claws are also very large, which is also related to Li Duoyu's breeding experience.
Both shrimps and blue crabs need to shed their shells. When raising these two things, you must supplement calcium, otherwise they will easily fail to shed their shells.
Li Duoyu caught nearly a hundred blue crabs, and then another two hundred kilograms of prawns.
Tomorrow I am going to Rongcheng to recognize my ancestors. I must bring something back with me. I must bring something with me.
In this weather, if blue crabs are tied up, they will definitely survive for a week as long as they are not bitten by mosquitoes.
You can freeze some prawns and get some grilled prawns directly.
People at the beach really don't have much good stuff, so what Li Duoyu can think of is to bring some dried shrimps, dried oysters, blue crabs, and dried fish to give to his relatives in Rongcheng. (End of chapter)
