1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 90: Visiting to Express Gratitude (Please Read On)

Since he was going to entertain relatives, Li Duoyu naturally took out the best first-class dishes from this batch of kelp.

After soaking.

Use scissors to cut into rectangular pieces, and then cook soup with those pork spines and shanks.

In fact, Li Duoyu has always had a doubt, that is, many foods will taste better after being dried.

Kelp, abalone, mushrooms. It seems to be the same.

In addition to cooking kelp soup.

Li Duoyu also went to the kelp field and cut two fresh kelp back.

After blanching in a hot pot, the brown kelp instantly turned bright green. After trimming the bad kelp edges, Li Duoyu folded the kelp in half and then began to cut it into strips.

"Chop chop chop"

The relatives present were stunned when they saw Li Duoyu's knife skills, and the third aunt, who had her sleeves raised to help cut vegetables, put down her sleeves when she saw that Duoyu's knife skills were better than hers.

And the cousins ​​saw it, and they all envied it and shook their heads and sighed.

"Xiaoying taught me well. They are not like the uncles in our family who can't even cut vegetables."

"If you don't cook for my uncle, he will starve to death."

When the cousins ​​saw how good Li Duoyu had become, their foreheads were full of black lines:

"Duoyu, you should be more restrained."

"Yes, don't leave us male comrades. If we are forced to cook later, it will be your fault."

Aunt San couldn't help but add: "If you can't cook, you can wash the dishes."

After hearing this, the cousins' faces turned black. Compared with washing dishes, they felt that cooking was easier.

The cousins ​​laughed happily.

"Yes, yes, yes, it would be much easier if someone washed the dishes."

And the children of the uncle's family, as well as Li Haoran, held bowls one by one and stood by the big iron pot where kelp and bone soup was cooked.

The fresh and fragrant kelp, mixed with the fragrance of bone, the two flavors mixed together, drifted out with the steam, and the greedy children drooled wildly.

And this kind of strong and fragrant smell.

They had never smelled it before.

Fragrant, very fragrant.

The chubby Li Haoran drooled on the spot, wiping his mouth while asking his grandma: "Can I eat it?"

"Why hurry, wait a while."

Seeing this group of greedy children, who kept circling around the big iron pot, Chen Huiying, who was not good at cooking, had to drive them out.

"You children go sit at a table first. When the soup is ready, I will give it to you first."

"Okay."

After hearing this, a group of children sat at a table outside obediently.

In addition to helping to look after the kelp fields, Chen Dongqing has been constantly testing various data of the kelp fields these days.

Including temperature and nutrient content of seawater.

All the growth conditions at each stage were written into a report.

Chen Dongqing felt that this kelp farming would definitely be successful, and he felt that this report would be of great value after it was written.

In addition to the farming report.

He also summarized the reasons why Chen Atai and Wang Dapao failed in kelp farming, and wrote several thousand words.

"Because fishermen have not yet switched from rough planting to fine farming, there is negligence and a lack of seriousness.

Kelp is a very sensitive algae, with extremely high requirements for temperature, salinity, and growing sea area. In addition to the problem of raising kelp in the north and south, it is best to conduct corresponding training and explanations before fishermen raise kelp."

After writing the report.

As soon as Chen Dongqing went out, he saw Li Duoyu cutting kelp shreds and was attracted by the kelp soup.

He lived here for a few days.

Chen Dongqing was no longer shocked by Li Duoyu's cooking skills, even though Li Duoyu had good knife skills.

He was no longer surprised.

Because he was used to it.

Seeing a chopping board of kelp shreds, Chen Dongqing didn't even wash his hands, and directly picked up a few kelp shreds from the chopping board and put them in his mouth.

After eating a few bites, he immediately felt something was wrong. The kelp he was eating now seemed very tender.

The taste of the kelp was obviously different from the ones he had eaten when he was studying in the north.

The kelp skin was thinner.

It was crispier and softer.

It didn't taste like residue.

This variety of summer seedlings was developed by Chen Dongqing, but he didn't know that the kelp he developed had such a big taste difference.

Seeing Chen Dongqing eating it directly with his hands, Li Duoyu said disdainfully: "Why are you in a hurry? It will taste good after mixing it with seasonings later."

Chen Dongqing didn't even go in. He ate several mouthfuls of kelp shreds in a row, his frown relaxed, and he ran back to the house excitedly.

He picked up the Hero pen, sucked some ink and wrote:

Lianjiang summer variety No. 2.

The skin is thin and the taste is crisp. It is better than other varieties on the market and is worth promoting.

When the relatives of the Li family gathered, several villagers came with two baskets of things tied with red paper.

And these villagers were the ones Li Duoyu rescued a few days ago.

After seeing them.

Lao Li hurriedly went up to the man carrying the shoulder pole and said, "Lao Zeng, you came just in time. Duoyu is making kelp soup. Let's have a bowl together."

The villager named Lao Zeng hurriedly shook his head and laughed, "How can we be so embarrassed? We came here today to thank Duoyu. If it weren't for him that day, we would probably be dead."

After saying that, Lao Zeng lifted the dustpan covering the basket, revealing two baskets full of dried clams, pig feet, vermicelli, dried shrimps, dried fish, a basket of eggs, and two Chinese dumplings.

On Dandan Island, there is an unwritten rule that after being rescued, you must give the rescuer pig feet vermicelli to thank him for saving your life.

But these people thought it was too stingy to just give pig feet vermicelli, so they pooled money to buy some dried goods and cigarettes and alcohol.

When Lao Li saw so many expensive gifts, his brows frowned instantly, and he said with a little seriousness: "Lao Zeng, what are you doing? There is no need for us villagers to be so polite."

Li Duoyu was also surprised to see these people giving so many things. In fact, saving them that day was just a by-product, and the main purpose was to save Chen Dongqing.

"Old Li, just accept it."

"According to what you said, you saved me when we were in the fishing team. Should I send you a gift as well?"

"That's different. If Duoyu and Xiaochao hadn't rushed to save us that day, our six families would probably have been ruined."

"We also heard that day that no one except Duoyu dared to go out to sea to save us at the dock."

"Old Li, you have to accept this gift, otherwise it will be difficult for us to live in the future."

"Yes, Old Li, just accept it. It's not a very expensive thing."

"That's right, these are all collected by us. Everyone will share it. There's not much."

Seeing them pushing and shoving, Li Duoyu quickly ran away. He was most afraid of this kind of polite scene in his life.

If you accept it too quickly, it won't feel good. You have to push and shove like this. Finally, accept the gift so that everyone won't feel awkward.

Finally, push and shove.

After the other party put down the basket and the heavy gift, he left directly.

But Lao Li felt bad, so he picked up several bags of dried kelp, put them in a basket, and then returned the basket to the man.

Lao Li was happy to give the gift.

But Li Duoyu was heartbroken.

He wanted to complain to Lao Li: Dad, your son's dried kelp is much more expensive than the dried goods they gave.
