173. Chapter 173 Brothers Should Settle Accounts Clearly (1/2)

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Li Duoyu is very clear about money. Only when every sum of money is clear can they cooperate and get along for a long time.

He has seen too many brothers start a factory together. In the early stage, they all said it was okay and were very polite. In the end, they quarreled and it was a mess. Even bricks and tiles are calculated clearly.

"Shuguang, how much is the fuel cost today?"

Li Shuguang thought for a while: "About ten yuan."

Li Duoyu took out a small calculator and calculated: "Just as we agreed at the beginning."

"Thirty percent of the profit is yours, plus the fuel cost, a total of 48 yuan."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he took out four big unity notes and 8 yuan.

Li Shuguang took the four big unity notes: "Just give me 40 yuan, and you don't need the 8 yuan. I lost a line set for you. The fish hook and fishing line must be very expensive."

"It's okay, not that expensive, then 5 yuan, I just don't have any change."

"Okay."

For Li Shuguang, a net profit of 35 yuan a day after deducting the gas money is already very much, if it weren't for his cousin to take him out to make money.

If you fish near the coast, you can only make 7 or 8 yuan a day after deducting the gas money. If you are unlucky, you might as well work for others.

Now, as long as the business of renting fishing spots develops smoothly, he may be able to make money lying down in the future.

I don't know how his cousin came up with this dirty trick. Many people didn't understand the pure experience fishing and immersive fishing just now, but he did.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, they will make money in the end, and all the risks will be transferred to the people who rent fishing spots.

Li Shuguang feels that if this business can be done, the income from this item alone can bring him hundreds of yuan in income a month.

Speaking of which, it seems that I have been close to Duoyu for the past six months and have really made a lot of money. I made hundreds of yuan the first time I went to the estuary.

I also made thousands of yuan in the month of fishing for small tubes.

Now with this sea fishing, Li Shuguang feels that his dream will probably come true soon.

He has been saving money for these years and plans to change to a larger iron boat. With the iron boat, he can go farther, so that every time he goes out to sea, his family doesn’t have to worry so much.

Thinking of this, Li Shuguang couldn’t help but say: "Duoyu, thank you for being willing to take me to make money."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him.

"You are already in your thirties, why are you suddenly sentimental, uh, it’s disgusting."

"Your uncle."

"Come on, Xiaoguang, you performed well today, and I will give you a salary of five yuan."

Li Qingguang, who got the money, smiled happily.

"Thank you, brother Duoyu."

The fishermen on the side saw Li Duoyu dividing the money, and their eyes were almost red with envy. Many people here can earn seven or eight yuan a day by going out to sea to fish. After deducting the gas money, some people earn less than Li Qingguang.

"Duoyu, take us with you next time."

"You are the village director now, it's time to consider all of us. We can make money together."

Li Duoyu laughed.

"I really didn't lie to you. The immersive fishing experience of thirty yuan is good. If you are lucky, you can catch a big bass and make several times more money."

"Damn, you profiteer."

When most of the dock people left, Li Duoyu moved the pump off the fishing boat.

With the help of Chen Wenchao, Li Duoyu moved the pump and fishing gear back home.

In the courtyard.

A hatted yard light was on, and several moths flew around the light. In the darker places, several bats were hunting.

Old Li was lying on a rocking chair to enjoy the cool air, listening to an old man telling a story in the local dialect about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and had just come to the part about the three visits to the thatched cottage.

Li Haoran was also sitting beside him, but he preferred to listen to Journey to the West, but Grandpa didn't seem to like those supernatural things.

So while listening to the radio, he played with the inflatable tiger, which his father bought for him in Rongcheng a month ago.

As long as you press the airbag, the plastic tiger's hind legs will kick and then take a step forward.

However, this thing is quite fresh to play at first, but it becomes very boring after playing it twice, and it is not as interesting as the iron frog with a winding spring.

And at this moment.

Li Haoran happened to see his uncle coming back with a big machine, and his eyes lit up.

"Uncle, what is this you are carrying?"

After seeing Li Duoyu coming back, Old Li also sat up from the rocking chair and took a look at what the fourth brother brought.

"Did you buy another diesel engine?"

Li Duoyu replied: "No, this is a water pump."

Old Li walked up to the water pump and looked at it, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

He had seen water pumps before, but most of them were powered by electricity. Why was his a little different, and it smelled of gasoline.

After hearing that the fourth child had returned, Chen Huiying hurried out and said: "You're back so late, the food is cold, go wash your hands and come to eat."

After seeing Chen Wenchao was there, Chen Huiying smiled and said: "Xiaochao, there's still a lot of food at home, let's eat here with Duoyu."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said shyly: "Auntie, no, my grandma and Xiaolan have left food for me."

"Brother Yu, if you're fine, I'll go back."

Li Duoyu nodded.

"It's fine, go back."

Chen Huiying sighed: "This kid is just too polite."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was in the bedroom, also walked out with her child in her arms.

After seeing the child.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Tutu, are you happy that your father is back?"

The little kid is now very dishonest and refuses to be held honestly. He is holding a rattle in his hand. When he sees Li Duoyu, he screams "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

Then, he threw the rattle in his hand to the ground.

"You kid, you have quite a temper."

Li Duoyu picked it up and put it in his hand: "Don't throw it away again. If you know it, I won't pick it up for you next time."

Unexpectedly, as soon as this little bastard got the rattle, he immediately threw it on the ground again, still kicking his feet and smiling happily.

"You kid, you didn't do it on purpose."

Li Duoyu picked it up this time and wouldn't give it to him.

As a result, Xiao Tutu changed his face in the next second and started crying in aggrieved manner.

Li Duoyu quickly returned the rattle to him, but within two seconds, it was thrown to the ground again.

"It belongs to your uncle."

Lao Li, who was still studying the water pump at the side, suddenly said: "Don't tell your child about your uncle all day long, his uncle is me."

"Hahaha."

Even Chen Huiying, who was relatively traditional this time, couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Xiaoying continued: "By the way, the Fisheries Research Institute has sent you another letter. I'll put it on the table for you to take a look at when you have time."

Li Duoyu nodded.

I simply washed my hands.

Then went to eat.

After returning to the room, I took off my clothes first, and then moved the water pump and fishing rod to the well.

He first uses clean water to clean the fishing rod. If the fishing rod is well maintained, its service life will be longer.

Li Duoyu threw the water pump's nozzle into the well and started the pump.

The well water was pumped up in this way, and the water pipe at the outlet was like a snake struggling to death, spraying water everywhere.

Li Duoyu picked up the head of the water pipe and flushed it directly to his head. It was very satisfying.

Li Haoran on the side looked at it.

He took off his clothes and pants on the spot, leaving only a pair of underpants.

"Uncle, I haven't taken a shower yet, please give me a shower."

Li Haoran said quickly.

"That's it, it's clean, don't flush it."

Speaking of which, it's already October now, and the well water is a bit cold, but not as cold as expected.

Li Duoyu remembered that at this time last year, he did not dare to take a cold bath at the well. It seems that this year may have a mild winter.

The date for planting kelp seedlings will be postponed.

And right now.

A gust of cold wind blew over, and Li Duoyu's muscles tensed up.

But just by shrinking his belly, Li Duoyu suddenly felt a bit cold on his butt.

Looking down, I felt a little embarrassed.

He looked around for a while and found that there was a neighbor lady holding a piece of bamboo. Judging from the situation, she should be going to a large size.

The aunt's eyes were staring at him.

Li Duoyu was extremely embarrassed. He put on his pants immediately. His face was burning. He wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say a word.

What he didn't expect was that the aunt didn't care at all and said:

"It's too dark, so I didn't see it. Besides, I often took you with you when you were a child, so I've seen it many times."

Li Duoyu was embarrassed, super embarrassed.

When you were a child, could it be the same as now?

I said, aunt, if you encounter something like this, you can't just pretend you didn't see it, just stare at it, and then forcefully explain it over there.

Li Duoyu after taking a shower.

Holding the opening of the water pipe, I sprayed the well water towards my vegetable patch, so that my mother-in-law would not have to carry the water area to water the vegetables in the future.

However, in this day and age, he still wants this water pump to have many uses, such as simple modifications.

When harvesting oysters, you can directly use a water pump to perform high-pressure flushing, which can save a lot of effort.

There is also an eel farm that is about to be built, and this water pump can also be used as a water circulation device.

After the vegetable field is watered halfway.

Li Duoyu noticed that the water seemed to have become smaller. He thought the water pump was broken, but he heard the sound of the machine idling.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Duoyu looked into the well.

Only then did he realize that the well water had almost been drained by him, and even the turtle, which was usually hard to see, had escaped.

Li Duoyu remembered this turtle. He had it when he was a child, and he once caught it with a fishhook made of needles.

Just caught it.

He was scolded by Lao Li and finally put back into the well.

After seeing that there was no water in the well.

Li Duoyu looked around and found that no one saw him, so he quickly returned to his home with the water pump in his arms.

Sure enough it didn't take long.

A voice came from the well: "Who is so wicked? Why did they use up all the water in the well?"

When Lao Hu, who lived by the well, heard these words, he directly replied: "There is no water, so why worry? It will fill up by itself later."

Speaking of which, Dandan Island is not particularly big, but it is not short of water all year round, among several nearby islands.

Dandan Island is relatively good.

In his previous life, he heard from a geographer who came to explore Dandan Island that this island was a volcano long, long ago.

Only then was there the small Tianchi on the top of the mountain.

It is now the small reservoir.

Coupled with the principle of osmosis, as long as the people living on the island do not waste water resources, they can complete their own cycle.

After Li Duoyu took a shower.

After returning home, Zhou Xiaoying squatted in the courtyard, washing his clothes and pants, and said to him: "Go to the room to change, give me the shorts."

"It's getting colder and colder now, don't take a shower all the time, okay? By the way, I made you some ginger soup, drink it while it's hot."

"Got it."

It's really good to have a wife who loves you. Zhou Xiaoying was seen washing his clothes and pants.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered something, picked up his pants, and searched his pockets. Fortunately, the letter was not there.

"I put the letter and money away for you."

"Fortunately, I put it away, otherwise I would be sorry for the old man."

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying gratefully. Such a thoughtful and considerate wife, if he didn't reward her well at night, God would not be able to bear it. (End of this chapter)
