Chapter 210 The market needs to be cultivated

Old Li also felt that his daughter-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was indeed a little different from other women. He was used to seeing her being strong, and suddenly she felt wronged, and he really didn't know what to say to her.

"For this matter, you should ask Duoyu."

Seeing that his father had kicked the ball to him, based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, Li Duoyu naturally chose to let his second sister-in-law pry the oysters.

At least the second sister-in-law was very efficient. Although the eel factory was also very anxious, the eel fry news would last for about three months.

Even if it was delayed for a month, the impact would not be particularly large, after all, no one was competing with him for eel fry now.

There were a lot of eel fry that no one wanted. As long as it was during the eel fry season, he would have a lot whenever he went to catch them.

Even if the second sister-in-law was missing, it would not affect the construction progress of the eel factory at all.

Li Duoyu's oysters had a yield of about 3,000 kilograms per mu, and if there were four mu of oyster fields, it would be about 12,000 kilograms.

Although this fishing boat was large, it could only pull about 6,000 kilograms at a time.

Li Duoyu plans to pull the remaining oysters tomorrow. Six thousand kilograms is enough for them to pry.

Li Duoyu pays them with the shells, while in the previous life, oyster pryers were mostly paid according to the weight of the oyster meat.

Generally, two to three yuan are paid for prying one kilogram of oyster meat. A skilled oyster pryer can pry three hundred kilograms a day and earn nine hundred yuan a day.

In the fattest season of oysters, one kilogram of oysters in shells can only produce about two taels of meat.

A skilled oyster pryer can pry 1,500 kilograms of oysters in shells in a day.

Since there are oysters to pry.

Then they must be dried.

Li Duoyu originally planned to dry them himself, but Lao Li, who has rich experience in drying oysters, took over the job and sent him back to sleep.

In order to catch the thief last night, Li Duoyu did not sleep all night, and he worked until noon, even an iron body could not hold on.

Man is iron, and food is steel.

But I feel sleepy if I don’t sleep for a day.

To be honest, his parents have been helping him since he started the breeding business.

Although they are nominally separated, their relationship this year is better than before the separation.

Li Duoyu would find ways to give money to the two elders every month, but no matter how many times he gave, they would use various means to get the money back into his pocket.

Li Duoyu was also helpless about this, but he could understand it. After all, he was also a father and could naturally understand their ideas.

Rural parents generally don’t need to consume much, and most of the money they earn is given to their children who work hard in the city.

In his previous life, he worked illegally in the island country, including the money he earned from breeding and fishing on the island when he came back, and almost all of it was given to his son, just so that he could gain a foothold in the city and the next generation could receive a better education.

And some things are naturally seen through when you get older. Where the people in power are, the welfare benefits are naturally good.

And Li Duoyu’s goal is also very simple, while his breeding experience is still advantageous, quickly earn the first pot of gold in his life.

Let the family live a good life first, at least in this life, Li Duoyu hopes that everyone can be healthy and don't have to run around for money every day.

Seeing Li Duoyu's oysters begin to be harvested.

Old Man Mi and Uncle Zhuang have both reserved 300 kilograms of oysters for tomorrow. They also want to try whether this kind of big oysters can be sold well in the market.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Li Qingguang also wanted 100 kilograms of oysters.

"What do you want to do with the oysters?"

Li Qingguang scratched his head: "Tomorrow there is a market. Last time I saw that my brother's grilled oysters were so delicious, I plan to set up a stall in the market tomorrow, maybe I can make money."

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Can you grill oysters?"

"I secretly learned a little when you grilled them last time."

Li Duoyu thought for a while: "How about this, let's go to the market together to sell oysters tomorrow."

Li Qingguang was excited and excited: "Then I will come to collect oysters with you tomorrow. After collecting, we will go to the market early."

Li Duoyu nodded.

Oysters are different from kelp. Kelp itself is delicious, and the earliest MSG was also extracted from kelp. People are quite accepting of this thing.

But oysters are completely different. This thing is an extreme seafood, just like durian. People who like to eat it like it very much, and people who don’t like it feel sick after eating a bite.

Due to the backward breeding methods in the past, the oysters farmed are relatively small, with little meat, and the taste is not very good.

Not to mention eating them raw, for most people, it is a devilish way to eat, if not done well, they will vomit and have diarrhea.

Of course, there are many reasons for this. Due to the poor preservation technology in this era, and the fact that most of the oysters in the past were farmed on the tidal flats.

Oyster shells often have mud on them. Without the "clean oyster" process, it is like eating clams without spitting out the sand. The experience is particularly bad.

The market needs to be cultivated. If you are not used to eating oysters, you can start with the entry-level garlic oysters.

Even if Li Qingguang didn't say it, Li Duoyu also planned to go out to do marketing. He couldn't always rely on big customers like Manager An and Boss Chen Jiao.

In his previous life, a big abalone farmer on Dandan Island had always relied on the purchases of big companies to cultivate thousands of acres of abalone.

But one year, this big company temporarily changed its leader and stopped purchasing his abalone, but switched to other companies.

It happened that there was another big typhoon that year. The money that this big farmer had worked hard for more than ten years was lost in one summer, and he owed the bank a lot of loans.

Li Duoyu thinks that the more sales channels there are, the better. When you rely too much on the other party, you are already on the chopping board.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Duoyu is unwilling to sign a contract with a big company like An Yuliang. After all, business dealings are not about friends, but more about interests.

When Li Duoyu returned home and was about to go to bed, his neighbor Lao Hu saw him coming back and came directly to ask about kelp farming.

"Duoyu, when can we go to get our kelp seedlings? Recently, your uncle Chen Dongqing seems to have not come to our Dandan Island for a long time."

After Lao Hu said this, Li Duoyu realized that he had not seen his uncle Chen Dongqing for a while, but they still exchanged letters.

This year is a warm winter.

Even though it is almost December, Dandan Island does not feel particularly cold, and the current sea water temperature is not particularly suitable for seedlings.

According to past experience, in a warm winter like this, it is estimated that it will be possible to plant kelp seedlings in early January.

Li Duoyu replied: "It may be later this year."

Lao Hu worried: "No problem, right?"

"No, it's just that the weather is still too hot, not suitable for planting seedlings."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Lao Hu continued: "I heard that you are drying oysters. When the time comes, can you take some goods to Zhizhong's dry goods store?"

"No problem, but I can't give you too much."

Lao Hu smiled and said: "It's okay if there is."

Recently, Chen Dongqing is under a lot of pressure. Because there are so many farmers who have booked kelp seedlings this time, and the infrastructure has been invested, the weather has not cooled down, which is also a headache for him.

In addition, the institute is planning to promote him during this period, so at this critical time, he is focused on the kelp seedlings and has no time to come to Dandan Island.
