Chapter 457 Friendship Store, Was Stopped because of His Dark Face (1/2)

Even if the New Year is approaching.

There are still many fishing boats fishing on the sea, some pulling small trawl nets, and others setting gill nets.

When heading to Qingkou Pier, Li Duoyu encountered several familiar fishing boats.

After Zhao Erniu and the girl from the pirate broke up over the bride price, the two brothers have now reconciled and started fishing together again.

Seeing Li Duoyu's fishing boat passing by, the two brothers gestured to Li Duoyu's fishing boat from a distance away.

Li Duoyu is also an old fisherman. When he saw this gesture, he immediately understood it and directly changed the direction of the boat.

Then, he took out a loud voice and shouted: "You two, you can put the nets in other places, but don't put the floating nets on the waterway. If the propeller is caught, I will scold you later."

Although far away, Li Duoyu could vaguely hear the two brothers shouting: "It won't happen next time."

The villagers who were riding on the boat couldn't help but said: "These two brothers are really good at causing trouble."

Someone else said: "Don't tell me, in just two years, these two brothers also bought a boat and built a house, and their income is no less than others."

When this person said this, everyone realized that the Zhao brothers were already so rich.

Less than fifteen minutes.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat arrived at Qingkou Pier, and the villagers who boarded the boat thanked Li Duoyu one after another.

"Thank you, Director Li. Your boat is comfortable, fast and stable."

Someone replied: "Can you feel uncomfortable? There are hundreds of thousands of imported ships, and this is the only one in the entire Rongcheng."

At this time, there was an elder who seemed to be his mother's aunt? Asked: "Duoyu, don't you go to catch the fish?"

Li Duoyu didn't know what to call her, so he smiled and replied, "I didn't go to the fair today. I planned to go to Rongcheng."

"Then let's go first. If you have time, call your mother and come back to Chenjiacun to make tea. When I was a child, I took your mother with me, and she looks really similar to you."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."

After the relationship between the two villages was restored, Li Duoyu discovered that there were really many foreign relatives on her mother's side, because her grandfather and grandma had so many brothers and sisters.

In addition, there are few marriages with outsiders. If you go back a few generations, you will find that half of the village is full of relatives.

Because she was still waiting for her uncle Chen Dongqing, Zhou Xiaoying read the novel directly in the cab of the fishing boat.

Although I usually spend most of my free time learning English, for some reason recently I have become particularly obsessed with martial arts novels written by Gu Long. The one I am currently reading is "The End of the World".

Compared to Jin Yong's novel, Li Duoyu prefers Cologne because the protagonists in it are very cool and always drink.

If I remember correctly, it seemed that Gu Long drank himself away a few months ago because of his frequent drinking.

But if I want to say that I like it the most, it must be Huang Yi, especially the book "Looking for Qin". Li Duoyu reread it several times back then.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying reading the novel seriously, Li Duoyu did not disturb her, but said: "Fu Hongxue, finally."

Li Duoyu was just joking, but Zhou Xiaoying immediately covered her ears and became unusually fierce:

"If you dare to give me spoilers, you won't be able to have a good New Year this year."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Look at how nervous you are, I just want to scare you."

Zhou Xiaoying hummed: "You used to do this all the time, okay? Every time I read a villain's book, you just tell me the ending."

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch and guessed that his uncle should not be so fast. After all, his aunt had to put on makeup when going out.

My uncle also complained to Li Duoyu countless times because of this incident.

"Xiaoying, I'm going to go to the pier for a walk. If my uncle arrives, please call me."

Zhou Xiaoying looked at him with disgust: "Go quickly, don't disturb me reading."

The New Year is approaching.

Qingkou Pier has become very busy, with fishing boats of all sizes coming here to sell fish.

There are more fish sellers, and naturally there are more fishmongers. Fishmongers from other docks have also come here to grab business, and there are many new faces that Li Duoyu doesn't know.

"The four hairs of a waxed fish,

Yellow chicken with three hairs

The big yellow croaker is one yuan. If you want to sell it, come to me now. "

After hearing this price, Li Duoyu's eyes lit up. In just two years, the price of large yellow croaker has really risen.

However, it seems that fewer and fewer people are catching it. The number of fishermen who caught large yellow croaker on Dandan Island this year can be counted on two hands.

That's when.

A trawler sounded its whistle and was about to pull into the dock.

The eyes of the fishmongers were all attracted, and some fishmongers guessed on the spot: "I bet 50 cents that this boat may be hairtail."

"I'll bet a piece, it must be the Spanish mackerel."

When Li Duoyu saw the serial number of the trawler, he couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "I won't bet money with you, but all the people on the boat should be moray eels."

Several fishmongers from other places looked at Li Duoyu and said, "How is it possible? We have been dealing with seafood for so many years. Who will have enough food to go fishing for sea eels in this season?"

As soon as the trawler docked, the two fishmongers' eyes widened when they saw the densely packed bamboo jars.

"Damn it, who would have guessed if we were to catch moray eels this season."

After the trawler docked, Lao Zhang, who is still working at a fish processing factory, boarded the boat directly without waiting for the fishmongers to ask for a price.

He also said to everyone: "No need to quote, this ship's conger eels are collected by the processing factory."

"Lao Zhang, please leave some conger eels for us."

Since he was free anyway, seeing that everyone was moving conger eels, Li Duoyu couldn't help but go up to help.

As soon as he got on the boat, his second uncle looked surprised: "Duoyu, why are you here?"

The young man Chen Liang said: "What's so surprising? I saw Brother Yu's fishing boat from a distance."

Due to the success of catching anchovies, the aquatic processing factory now has in-depth cooperation with the fishermen on Dandan Island.

If the processing factory has needs, it can go directly to their island and notify them directly using the broadcasting equipment.

This time the processing factory wants to make eel shreds, and the eels used for this kind of eel shreds are not freshwater eels, but the most common eels on the seashore.

Locals generally call it yellow eel. The output of this kind of conger eel is very large. It is also one of the favorite snacks of fishermen and a very good dish to go with wine.

Trawlers often catch this fish, but if you want to catch conger eels in large quantities, the best way is to set traps.

The bamboo tubes on Uncle San's trawl boat are specially used to catch sea eels and octopuses.

Eels like to dig holes, so fishermen usually put some cheap fish in the bamboo tubes to attract sea eels and octopuses.

In addition, the entrance of the bamboo tube is an inverted cone made of bamboo strips, which is easy to get in but difficult to get out. Once you get in, you can't get out.

In fact, in addition to eels, there are also many sea fish on the beach who like to dig holes, which is why they dare not swim naked in the sea.

God knows if there are really blind sea fish, and the craziest thing is that there was a folk remedy on the island before. If someone has intestinal obstruction, eels can be used to relieve constipation.

There are many folk remedies like this on the island, and the four old men who love to play four-color cards in the square know the most. After Li Duoyu helped move a few baskets of sea eels, he saw a shuttle bus coming from the county town at the parking lot.

Looking from a distance, he found that his uncle Chen Dongqing brought his family to the pier and was walking towards Li Duoyu's fishing boat.

Li Duoyu simply washed his hands and came to the fishing boat.

As expected, my aunt dressed up before going out. She still smelled of perfume, had a popular big wave, and wore a fur coat.

These days, there are no animal protection organizations. Fur and leather jackets are definitely symbols of wealth and status.

My aunt's outfit feels out of place at Qingkou Wharf. If you have to say, it feels more like a woman in a big city.

In comparison, Xiaoying is much more ordinary. She just wears a blue-gray two-row button coat with a large collar and a bow tied on her ponytail. In this era, this is a common dress, but Xiaoying's temperament is there. Even the most ordinary dress feels much better than my aunt.

When my aunt saw them, she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The bus was late."

My uncle, who looked unhappy, muttered, "It's not a bus, it's just you putting on makeup."

Before my uncle finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and twisted his buttocks left and right with two fingers.

Li Duoyu glanced at them, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. This skill is indeed universal among women.

"Don't worry, we just got here a while ago."

Li Duoyu rarely came into contact with this aunt. He only came into contact with her once when he drank with my uncle last time and sent him home.

Although he had little contact, he knew her well. My uncle had complained to him a lot in the past two years.

My aunt is also a technical secondary school student. Her family conditions are relatively good. She currently works at the county grain station, which is also a stable job.

Now the combined monthly salary of the two is more than 100 yuan. Because my aunt is a staff member of the grain station, their family's daily expenses are almost free of their own money.

With them came a little girl about six years old, dressed like a princess, wearing a fluffy long skirt and a pair of shiny leather shoes.

After seeing Li Duoyu, the little girl grinned and said, "Hello, cousin Duoyu."

Li Duoyu was originally very happy when he saw Wenwen, but the word "cousin" made him a little awkward.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Wenwen, I'm so much older than you, you should just call me uncle."

Chen Wenwen said seriously, "My dad said that you will definitely let me call you uncle, but if so, the generations will be messed up. If I call my dad, will I become grandpa?"

This made Li Duoyu confused. He glanced at Chen Dongqing, who was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt, and said disdainfully, "Childish, actually teaching children to talk like this."

"I'm happy."

Xiaoying and her aunt, although they had never met before, the two women of similar age got together and immediately became familiar with each other after a few words.

After boarding the boat, Li Duoyu sailed away from Qingkou Wharf, but on the way to Rongcheng, he turned to Qixing Bay, which was not far away, and took a special look.

Chen Dongqing, who was smoking, asked: "Why did you suddenly turn to Qixing Bay? Is there anyone else who wants to board the boat?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "No, it's just that I cooperated with the town committee some time ago and rented this whole piece of land. It happened to be on the way, so I came to take a look."

Chen Dongqing was a little surprised: "How much did you rent it for? You rented the whole piece?"

"Twenty yuan per mu per year, and I rented almost a thousand mu."

Chen Dongqing frowned slightly: "This price is not cheap, but it is not a loss. Qixing Bay is a good place. Our institute also wanted to build a seedling base here, but Shangfeng Town didn't want to give up this land at that time."

Li Duoyu smiled. At that time, the town leaders and Brother Shui were in the same boat. Brother Shui also liked this land and wanted to build a seaside entertainment city here. Naturally, he refused to give it to the institute.

Chen Dongqing said: "By the way, I have something to tell you in advance. Several documents suddenly came from the county, which put great pressure on Director Zhang. Now we are required to cooperate with a Haixin company in all aspects.

Your shrimp seedlings had gone through the procedures, but the county stopped them abruptly. The subsidies for the previous cooperation bases had to be withdrawn."

Chen Dongqing sighed: "Duoyu, do you and Secretary Chen have a grudge with the county leaders?"

After listening, Li Duoyu was silent for a while. The eel factory where the second sister-in-law worked seemed to be Haixin's.

It seems that my development direction overlaps with this company.

Li Duoyu smiled: "Maybe we are too good, which makes some people jealous."

"I told you a long time ago, don't be too arrogant. If you always show off like you, which leader will like you?"

Li Duoyu said helplessly: "It's the leaders above who want me to show off. What can I do? Besides, I can't keep a low profile even if I want to. Xiaoying and I will go to Hong Kong Island to participate in activities with the big leaders next year."

Chen Dongqing widened his eyes: "Ah"

"What?"

"You and Xiaoying are going to Hong Kong Island?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "It should be a social gathering. I'm going there as a young entrepreneur."

"I'll strangle you first. Why don't you take me with you."

"If you want to take someone, take my wife with you. How can I take you with me?"

On the boat, the men talked about business, and the women talked about daily life, from clothes to children.

Unknowingly, we have arrived at Rongcheng Wharf, which is even more lively.

Due to Chen Yuansu's generous investment, seafood prices have plummeted this year. The fishmongers are not very happy, but the locals who buy seafood are all smiling.

They carry bamboo baskets in one hand and push bicycles in the other, asking prices in front of stalls.

Li Duoyu parked the fishing boat, paid the management fee, and called two human-powered tricycles near the pier to go to the Overseas Chinese Friendship Store near East Street.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the store, some came to watch the fun, and some came to sell things.

"Fish balls, delicious fish balls."

Li Duoyu heard the familiar knocking sound of the bowl, and unexpectedly, he saw the old man selling fish balls on a bicycle again.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that there was already "agent purchasing" in this day and age.

Several young people with waist bags on their backs came over with smiles on their faces after seeing them.

"Boss, do you want to go to the Friendship Store to buy something? Do you have foreign exchange coupons? If not, we can take you in."

Li Duoyu couldn't help asking: "If we let you in, how much will we charge?"

The two young men said: "For foreign exchange coupons, it's 10 to 15, and we'll take another 10%."

Li Duoyu's eyes widened: "You are too ruthless, you make a profit from foreign exchange, and you have to make a profit from the commission."

The two young men laughed and said: "Boss, you can't say that. It's different if we take you in. We are familiar with the waiters inside. If you want to buy something, you don't have to queue up."

Li Duoyu couldn't help sighing. In this era, as long as you have connections and a flexible mind, you can really make a lot of money.

But Li Duoyu looked at them and saw that these two people were most likely henchmen, and there were others who really made money.

"We have foreign exchange coupons, we can go in by ourselves."

Hearing that they had foreign exchange coupons, the two young men looked disgusted: "You should have told me you had coupons earlier, wasting our time."

When they entered the Friendship Store, Xiaoying, my uncle and my aunt showed their foreign exchange coupons and went straight into the store.

Only when it was Li Duoyu's turn, he was stopped on the spot: "Comrade, stop and show me your ID" (End of this chapter)
