Chapter 430 The Zhao Brothers Fought Again (1/2)

Chapter 430 The Zhao brothers fought again

Before Li Duoyu answered Uncle San’s doubts.

The fishmonger, Old Man Mi, said with a face full of resentment: "All the boats in our village have been called by the village director to go fishing. He has made a lot of money, but I am miserable as a fish collector. I haven't received any fish for many days. If he continues to do this, I can only go to his house to beg for food in the future."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Old Mi, it's not as miserable as you say. You have collected a lot of fish in this basket."

Old Man Mi picked up two fish on the spot to show everyone, "They are all garbage fish such as barang and smoke. They must have been caught while catching anchovies. Why should I collect such fish? I can't even make back the money for ice cubes."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "Then why do you collect them?"

"Do you think I am willing to collect them? They forced me to sell them and even made promises to me, saying that they would try to leave the good fish for me after fishing in the future."

"Hahaha."

Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing. There have been great changes in the past two years. I remember that when the reform and opening up came, the fishermen begged Old Man Mi to buy their fish.

At that time, the price of fish was decided by the fishmongers. In the best years, there were nearly ten fishmongers at Xiasha Village Wharf alone.

However, as more and more fishing boats with engines appeared, and the aquatic product processing plants clearly marked the price of fish.

If eels are fed with this kind of fish meal, they will not only grow well, but also be less likely to get sick.

As a result, these people are very smart, making the remaining fishmongers who are still struggling very uncomfortable.

In the past, fishmongers like Mi Laotou would not buy this kind of fish, only Lao Hu next door would buy it.

Generally, the ones that can be sold at a high price are often white meat fish, such as grouper, yellow croaker, etc., and among them, the "garlic meat" of yellow croaker is the best.

In order to control costs, his boss also tried domestic fish meal on a small scale, but was cheated.

This was so true that he felt physically uncomfortable. His daughter-in-law in his previous life also said the same thing.

Li Duoyu felt that if he wanted to expand and strengthen his breeding business, the problem of fish meal must be solved.

In his previous life, when their eel factory was still engaged in export, they could save on everything except feed.

After feeding for a period of time, the eels not only grew slowly, but also often had diarrhea and a lot of problems.

Almost all of them used the most expensive imported white fish meal, which was once used as a special feed for eels due to its high protein content.

Otherwise, they might secretly throw firecrackers into his house in the middle of the night, and make a little man for him and recite his name thousands of times every day.

High-quality fish meal feed is indeed very expensive. The price of one meter of white fish meal is often tens of thousands of yuan. In addition, he raises a lot of them, so each purchase costs millions.

Li Duoyu took a look and found that most of the baskets were smoked fish. This kind of fish is at the bottom of the contempt chain, and its status is even worse than that of the barangay.

Because it looks like a cannonball and swims very fast.

In fact, it is not that China cannot produce good fish meal feed. It can only be said that our exclusive fish area is too small and not worthy of this great country.

Li Duoyu remembers very clearly that every time the boss went to buy fish meal feed, it was like being pressed on a chopping board and cut with a knife.

The origin of this fish is concentrated in North America and Western Europe. Due to imports, the price is also quite terrifying.

Seeing that Old Man Mi was very resentful, Li Duoyu threw a cigarette over: "Old Mi, don't worry, the fishing season for anchovies will be over in half a month. During this time, why don't you go to the city to accompany your grandson."

"What's the matter?"

When he heard this, Li Duoyu's heart seemed to be stabbed by a sword.

After seeing it once, he never dared to buy it again, and continued to be slaughtered obediently.

Fishermen have more choices. When the catch is relatively large, they will directly take it to the aquatic product processing factory to sell.

Fortunately, Old Man Mi didn't know that he had contributed to the construction of the aquatic product processing factory at Qingkou Wharf.

In less than half a year, half of the fishmongers on Dandan Island were forced to change their jobs, and many fishmongers became fishermen again.

"People dislike my fishy smell, and their children won't let me hold them."

It hurts, it hurts a lot.

The reason why fishermen don't like yanzai is because it is a "red meat fish".

Yanzai is bonito, which is a relative of tuna. They are both swimmers in the sea. Some old fishermen also call them cannonball fish.

Generally, fishermen call yanzai, barangay, saury, and bluefin tuna "red meat fish".

Because this kind of fish has a lot of exercise, the fish body is full of blood, whether it is steamed, braised, souped, or pan-fried, it doesn't taste very good.

Old man Mi took the cigarette and sighed: "If it was so easy to accompany, I would collect fish here."

Li Duoyu couldn't help asking:

Unfortunately, good white fish meal cannot be produced in China. The current mainstream white fish meal is processed from a cold water fish called haddock.

There is not enough fish for themselves, so how can they pull good fish to be processed into fish meal?

According to his boss, that kind of hellhole is so smelly that even cockroaches don't want to stay there, and in order to cover up the rotten smell, the manufacturer will add various unknown additives to the feed.

But for Li Duoyu, red meat fish still has a price, and can be used as feed fish to make red fish meal.

Every time after buying, he would curse those profiteers who sell fish meal feed for a long time, saying that after working hard for a year, all the work is for them.

Also because of this aquatic products processing plant, fish prices are quite transparent and uniform, making it difficult for fishmongers to unite to lower prices and buy low and sell high.

In the future, if you have money, you can simply build a serious fish meal processing factory and invest in a few offshore fishing boats specializing in the production of fish meal.

But even if it is made into feed, Yanzi still cannot escape the "bonito (cheap fish) fatalism", because the red fish meal feed made from red-fleshed fish is still no match for the white fish feed made from white-fleshed fish.

As a result, I went to check the source and found that most domestic fishmeal feed manufacturers used hemp eggs, some trash fish, and intestines and offal collected from fish stalls.

Because of his experience abroad, Li Duoyu feels that we are the most doting country in the world.

He worked hard all his life just to buy a house for his child so that he could marry a wife, but in the end he was rejected by his daughter-in-law.

Li Duoyu patted Lao Mi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Lao Mi, I understand."

Old Man Mi looked disgusted: "Your son is still playing with mud, but you know how to hammer."

The third uncle couldn't help but smile.

Then he asked: "Don't interrupt, Duoyu, what kind of fish are you buying? Why are all the fishing boats in the village helping me catch it?"

Li Duoyu quickly replied: "It's a small fish called clove. My purchase price is quite high, so everyone is very active."

"Lilac fish? How much is it?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "After drying, it costs two and a half yuan per catty."

When he heard the price, the third uncle took a breath of air and his eyes suddenly widened.

"What kind of fish is this clove? The price is so high and you can get it here?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "This kind of fish is quite common. You must know it, Uncle San. In local terms, it is sea anchovy, the small and transparent one."

The third uncle frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Is it a little whitebait?"

"Pretty much, but there's a line in the middle."

The third uncle patted his forehead: "As soon as you said that, I knew. In the past, our fishing team would also catch some of these fish, dry them, and eat them with shrimps."

But the third uncle still didn't believe it and asked again: "When I fished for shrimps in the past, the most I caught was three or four small fish like this in one net. Are you sure this kind of fish costs two and a half a pound?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

"The price will be higher this time, mainly because the acquirer is in a hurry, and the season is about to go out, so this is a profit."

Li Zhengfa thought about it for a while and realized that what he said about the abundance of fish was indeed true. In half a month, this kind of fish would be out of season and there would be no need to catch it.

"Duoyu, how many of these fish do you plan to collect?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I will take as many as I can catch."

It has been two months since he went to sea, and Li Zhengfa is also very tired, but the price is so attractive. Duoyu seems to be here to give money this time, so there is no reason not to accept it.

Seeing that the crew members were already going home, Li Zhengfa cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone, please pay attention. We just received a big order from our village director." "This time we will have a day off. We will continue at the same time tomorrow. Come gather here at the dock and let’s continue fishing.”

Chen Liang was dumbfounded on the spot. He originally wanted to sleep with him for two or three days, but without thinking, he only gave him one day of rest.

"You're crazy. You're not letting me live. I'm just letting you rest for one day."

As soon as Chen Liang finished speaking, his father hit him on the head and scolded him: "It's good to be able to give you a day's rest, but it's still not good enough."

Chen Liang touched his head with a look of grievance on his face and murmured: "Now we don't even have time to go on a blind date or find a matchmaker."

Li Zhengfa continued:

"Everyone, hurry up and get some rest. Those who have wives, hurry up and get married. Those who are newly married and want to have children, don't sleep tonight."

After Hei Gou and his wife heard this, their faces instantly turned red, because their little thoughts were directly pulled out.

"Finally, let me tell you, our fleet will definitely make a lot of money on this trip. Maybe in this half month, we will make more than we made in the first half of the year."

After hearing this, some of the sailors who had gone back came back. When they learned that the purchase price of a pound of dried clove fish was two and a half yuan, they were so angry that they slapped their thighs.

"If I had known earlier, I would have come back earlier and I wouldn't have caught that smelly squid."

The second uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, felt that there was only about half a month left in the fishing season, so he simply said: "How about we continue fishing at sea now, and pretend we haven't returned to the island yet."

After hearing this sentence.

The two young crew members, Chen Liang and Hei Gou, disappeared in an instant.

Third uncle Li Zhengfa said: "Don't worry, our big net won't be able to catch that kind of small fish. You guys go and have a rest. My elder brother and I will build that kind of fine net first. Let's try to make more money this year."

"Okay, let's make a fortune together."

In recent times, the fishing boats on Dandan Island have really gone crazy, and more than half of them have flocked to Ding Bay.

Some bold ones drove directly into the fishing village's operating area to fish, which resulted in conflicts.

But because money is so attractive, the Dandan Island fishermen were surprisingly united this time, and even went to other people's territory to start shouting with others, which almost caused a conflict.

Fortunately, the fishery administration boat arrived on the scene in time, so there was no scene of fishermen from the two islands fighting in groups at sea.

Otherwise, Li Duoyu would probably be scolded to death by Secretary Chen, and maybe even given a demerit.

However, during this period, Li Duoyu received more than a dozen letters of complaint, all of which asked him to take care of the fishermen on his island.

But Li Duoyu has no time to take care of them now. The most he can do is shout with a loudspeaker to warn the fishermen on the island not to be dazzled by money.

Nowadays, he has a lot on his hands. There are many villagers in the village who are willing to participate in the construction of the "big windmill", more than two hundred of them.

There are also nearly two hundred people in Chenjiacun. If these people are willing to help, it will definitely speed up the construction progress greatly.

In the past few days, teams have been arriving on the island one after another to transport various equipment and set up simple tents. It is estimated that construction will start soon.

Li Duoyu in the office opened a letter from the Majiang Village Committee of Xiaocheng Town, and found that there was only one sentence in it.

"Damn Ganni, all the fishermen on your island are bandits."

Li Duoyu was a little angry and funny. Although he was scolded again, he felt inexplicably happy.

Li Duoyu, who was in a good mood, hummed a song and just walked out of the village committee door. Unexpectedly, the Zhao brothers grabbed each other's collars and came to the village committee.

The two brothers' faces were all bruised and purple, and the corners of Zhao Erniu's mouth were cut open and bleeding.

When the two saw Li Duoyu, they immediately grabbed each other and rushed over.

Zhao Dahai took the lead and said: "Brother Yu, tell me what you think. Erniu, this piece of shit, clearly swore that he would not go to sea to make money, but these days, he has been fishing for cloves with Wang Jinshan."

Li Duoyu frowned and was a little annoyed with the brothers because they really had too many things to do and they never stopped.

However, he is in a good mood today. As a village cadre, he has the responsibility and obligation to help the villagers mediate conflicts.

"If you have any questions, come to my office." After Li Duoyu returned to the office, he asked, "You two, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhao Dahai, who looked angry, told the story of what happened, including why they were fighting.

It was roughly Zhao Dahai, who had long known that Zhao Erniu had made a lot of money catching green crab seedlings.

But because of the vows made by the two brothers.

He did it and complied with it. He did not go to the tidal flat to catch blue crab seedlings to make money.

But Zhao Erniu broke his oath and ran to the sea to fish.

Zhao Erniu, whose mouth was cut open, spit out the blood and cursed: "I swore to Empress Mazu, not to you. Why should you care about it? Besides, I have already gone to worship Empress Mazu again." I asked again, and my mother-in-law Mazu was willing to let me go to the sea. "

Zhao Dahai widened his eyes angrily and said: "Are you as shameless as you? According to you, all the oaths are useless."

Li Duoyu also felt that what Zhao Erniu said was correct. If the oath was useful, there would probably be no scumbag men or women in the world.

Li Duoyu asked: "Dahai, what are you going to do now?"

Zhao Dahai said with a dark face: "Let him abide by his oath and not go to the sea to fish."

Zhao Erniu scolded back: "Why, even if Mazu agrees, you can come to the tidal flat. What will I say to you?"

"Er Niu, are you shameless? There are no green crabs now. What am I going to do on the beach? Play in the mud."

"I don't know who is more shameless. He took away all the family's property for a widow and was completely squeezed out. Yet he still has the nerve to come back to the village. If I were you, I would just jump into the sea."

"Fuck me."

The two said they were about to fight again.

Li Duoyu said: "If you fight in front of me, I might send you to the police station."

The two brothers were imprisoned for several months because of abalone farming. When they think about that horrific experience.

He calmed down on the spot.

"You might as well forget it."

Zhao Dahai frowned and said: "Impossible, let's forget it. Then I won't suffer a big loss. I will also catch blue crab seedlings. If I catch them in those few months, I can earn at least a thousand yuan." No matter what the possibility, let him earn it.”

Zhao Erniu said nothing.

He was indeed in the wrong on this point, but when he thought about Lilac Fish making so much money, he simply couldn't care less about it.

Li Duoyu thought again.

"Er Niu, do you hate Dahai because he took all the money and gave it to that Widow Chen?"

Zhao Erniu nodded.

"Brother Yu, you don't know that he is not a human being. He took away the boat, the net and the newly purchased land that our family bought together for a woman."

"He works as a cow or a horse for others, serving other people's whole family. My parents and I don't even own a boat, so we can only work for others and make a living on the farm. Brother Yu, you said it's not too much. "

Li Duoyu nodded: "It's indeed excessive."

Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Dahai, isn't that Widow Chen very powerful? It feels like your soul has been sucked away. I remember that you seemed to have lost a lot of weight when you first returned to the village."

Zhao Dahai nodded awkwardly: "It's not bad, I just take care of your feelings."

"Do you still like her now?"

Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and said: "If you like a woolen yarn, that bitch is a vampire. All the money I brought was spent by her, and my body was almost drained by her. As soon as we talked about marriage, she made trouble with me." , Damn it, it’s obvious that you’re using me as a coolie.”

Zhao Erniu said disgustedly:

"You idiot, you deserve it if you have a white worm on your head!"
