Chapter 122 A Call Has Come (Please Subscribe)

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao caught up with the passenger ship back to Dandan Island.

Because I arrived late.

There are no seats on the boat, so we can only stand. Moreover, this trip, everyone brought back a lot of various things to the island.

There are all kinds of chickens, ducks, and even piglets.

Depending on the situation, everyone should be going to the fair (xu).

Going to the fair means going to the market in the south.

People call the market trading day according to the lunar calendar "Wei day", and when people go to the market to buy and sell, it is called "Wei day".

In Shangfeng Town, the third and ninth days of the lunar calendar are fair days, so everyone can bring what they want to sell to the fair.

You can also buy all kinds of necessary things in the fair and have a tooth ceremony at the same time, because at this time, some strange food often appears.

Such as frozen bamboo shoots, fried bamboo elephants, crab sauce and salted chicken fetus from the next city, but what Li Duoyu misses the most is the iced rice on a hot summer day.

Every summer, when the weather gets hot, vendors selling iced rice will appear. They push a modified cart, ringing small bells, and walk through the streets shouting:

"Bing rice, ice rice, cold ice rice."

There is also a thick iron cylinder on the cart, which contains homemade yellow sweet ice water.

At that time, everyone who knew the sweet ice water recipe regarded the recipe as a treasure and would never tell outsiders.

If you just want to drink sweet ice water, a small cup is one cent, but you have to bring your own cup. If you want to fill the enamel cup, it will cost two cents.

In addition to sweet ice water, there are also ingredients such as glutinous rice, watermelon, pineapple, raisins, and grass jelly on the cart.

The iced rice is to put a layer of cooked glutinous rice on the bottom, put seasonal fruits, raisins, grass jelly, etc., and finally add homemade ice water.

Strong vendors will also go to the ice factory in Rongcheng, get two pieces of ice, cut it with a knife, and then spread it on the fruit.

In the hot summer, why not have a bowl of iced rice?

That's really cool.

In the past, when Li Duoyu was in junior high school in the town, this was his favorite food every summer. Sometimes when he ran out of money, he would borrow it from Zhou Xiaoying.

Speaking of which, the borrowed money has not yet been repaid. If I remember correctly, Zhou Xiaoying has been studying in the town for three years and has never had iced rice.

Another day, you can take her to eat.

…

In addition to these, there are many large items on the ship, such as the old man Lu in the village who is getting married. At the age of thirty, he finally got a wife.

I went to town and bought a complete set of furniture, a brand new dresser and cabinets.

Li Duoyu remembered that there used to be a carpenter on the island, but it seemed that due to the poor quality of the workmanship, it was completely destroyed at that time.

From then on, if everyone wanted furniture, they had to go to the town to buy it.

Up to now, many fishermen’s tables and chairs on the island are very old and shabby, and most of them were more than ten years ago.

The sins committed by one's own village shall be borne by oneself.

As a result, if Li Duoyu wanted to change to a big bed now, he would have to go to town.

Because of Li Duoyu's recent active performance and his ability to save people, everyone is very polite to him.

Lao Xia, who specialized in raising pigs in the village, held a piglet in both hands and said to Li Duoyu:

"Duoyu, are you going to catch the fair today? Why didn't I see you?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "No, I went to the county."

"Are you going to the research institute again? Do you have any good projects? I still have a seat here. Do you want to come and sit with me?"

As soon as Lao Xia finished speaking, someone next to him said: "Duoyu, don't sit next to him. His pig is seasick and makes you vomit and have diarrhea. It's disgusting."

"Forget it, I'd better stop sitting. If I stand, I might be able to grow taller."

"I miss you too much. Once the hair on a man's lower body grows, he won't be able to grow taller."

Half the people on the boat burst into laughter.

Lao Xia continued: "By the way, when I was in Wei, I saw old man Mi holding up a newspaper with a photo of you and the leader, shouting to sell your kelp. There were many people queuing up to sell kelp."

"Old man Mi, I guess I'll be buying from you again in two days. Why don't you give me some more, and I'd like to go to the fair to sell some."

"I no longer raise pigs, I really want to sell them."

“I’m tired of raising pigs every day, so I occasionally do other things.”

"If you really want to sell, come to me some other time."

"Really, then you have to sell me cheaper."

Just when Li Duoyu was chatting with everyone, Youdao, with his head lowered, got up from his seat and turned around to go to the stern of the boat.

And he just turned to leave.

A villager nearby shouted: "A Tai, if you don't want to sit down, I'll tell Duoyu to sit down. Don't you know Duoyu very well? You don't want to say hello."

Li Duoyu followed his gaze and found an unexpected old acquaintance, the uncle Tai who had sold him the brown rope.

"Uncle Tai, long time no see."

Chen Atai glanced at him: "Well, I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

The person he least wants to see right now is Li Duoyu.

In the past, he lost money in kelp farming and was chased for debts. He complained every day, saying that Chen Dongqing had harmed him.

Unexpectedly, Duoyu raised kelp and made a lot of money. Now many villagers began to complain that he didn't know how to raise kelp. He talked nonsense everywhere, which made everyone afraid to raise kelp.

Recently, he has been like a rat crossing the street, afraid that someone will blame him for not being able to raise kelp.

And today he went to the market to buy brown rope again, but the brown rope that he sold to Duoyu for 300 yuan at the beginning now costs 1,500 yuan, and there are still many people buying it. He has to queue up and can only get the goods next month.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Chen Atai was in no mood to smoke, but still asked: "Are your kelp selling well? I heard from the team leader that you only sold a quarter of it."

"That's because I deliberately held back the goods."

Chen Atai frowned slightly: "Then how much money can you make this year?"

"Not a small amount, it should be four times the investment."

After hearing this number.

Chen Atai understood instantly. He had raised kelp before, so he naturally knew how much money it would cost to raise kelp four times the investment of thirty acres of kelp.

He really regretted it.

If he had listened to Dongqing and raised kelp well, he might be a millionaire now.

As the sound of "woohoo" sounded.

The passenger ship docked at the dock of Dandan Island. Lu Laosi, who bought new furniture, tied it up with hemp rope, carried it on his back and carried it back home.

The people on the boat soon dispersed.

Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao: "These two days, after you finish your family affairs, go to Dazhu Village and buy a batch of bamboo from Brother Ou to repair our fishing raft."

"Got it, Brother Yu."

"Don't be afraid of motion sickness."

Chen Wenchao smiled and said: "Now Brother Ou always takes me on a motorcycle."

"Fuck, it makes me want to go."

When Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island, it was already dark. He hung the oysters on the stern and kept them in the sea water temporarily.

"Brother Yu, then I'll go back first."

"Yeah."

Li Duoyu hadn't arrived home yet.

Erbaiwu jumped to Xiaopo to greet him, rubbed around his feet, licked him, and made a whining sound to please him.

It seems that this dog has a deep understanding of who his master is.

However, I have kept it for half a year, and its size is three times bigger than before, and now it weighs more than 20 kilograms.

Not long after Erbaiwu ran over, Li Haoran also ran over: "Uncle, you are back."

Li Duoyu suddenly thought of something and asked: "Haoran, you didn't let Erbaiwu run around everywhere, did you?"

"No, it was only in our courtyard, and I didn't let it go out."

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I dare not lie to you, uncle, even if I lie to anyone else."

Li Duoyu was relieved, otherwise dogs of this era especially like to run to the toilet to eat.

If it licks itself after eating, it's disgusting to think about it.

When he returned home, Zhou Xiaoying, who heard Li Duoyu's voice, was already heating up food for him in the kitchen: "Have you eaten dinner?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll heat it up for you."

"Where's Tutu?"

"Just fell asleep after drinking milk. By the way, you have a telegram."

After speaking, Zhou Xiaoying handed the telegram to Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu took the telegram and found that as soon as he went out recently, he would receive a letter immediately.

This telegram was sent from Rongcheng, but the sender and address on it surprised Li Duoyu.

It turned out to be An Yuliang from Rongcheng Commodity Distribution Company, whom he met when he borrowed money from the credit union half a year ago.

How did he know?

Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing after looking at the address. It was written on it (Li Duoyu who grows kelp on Dandan Island).

If it is written like this, even if there are people with the same name and surname in the village, the postman will probably not send it to the wrong person.

But at that time, Li Duoyu didn't seem to tell him his name.

It seems that he saw the newspaper and knew his name, so he wrote this telegram.

After Li Duoyu opened it, he found that although this telegram was also very concise, it had a lot of words.

Comrade Li, hello.

Excuse me, our company wants to purchase a batch of kelp, the purchase price is: first-class 50 cents, second-class 40 cents, and hairy vegetables 30 cents.

If you think the price is right, please write me a letter. I will go to the island to pick up the goods the next day after receiving your letter.
