As Lao Li said before, the farmers who lost money raising kelp on Dandan Island were not from Xiasha Village.

But the Chenjia Village next door, that is, his mother Chen Huiying's maiden home, not far from Xiasha Village, just five miles away, if you walk, you can get there in half an hour.

When I was a child, I heard my mother talk about it.

The fishermen of Chenjia Village are the aborigines of Dandan Island, while most of the people in Xiasha Village are from exile during the famine years of the last century.

Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years of development, Xiasha Village has become the owner of this island due to the rapid increase in population and anti-guest.

In New China, wharves, ferries, and even supply and marketing cooperatives were set up in Xiasha Village.

This made the people of Chenjia Village depressed for a long time, but there was no way, at that time, population was the most important productive force, who told them to be so able. ‘

Walked for half an hour.

Li Duoyu and Lao Li went to Chenjia Village, in the 80s, the economy of Chenjia Village was very poor, most of them were stone houses, and two-story houses were rare.

There is also a small wharf in the village, but there are few large boats, mostly small sampans with rocking rows.

In his previous life, even when he came back from the island country, Chenjiacun did not get rich, and it was only when the domestic tourism industry developed that young designers from several overseas provinces came here to set up homestays, and it was improved.

Lao Li came to a fisherman's house with a courtyard and was about to knock on the door.

As a result, a big black dog with a rope rushed out of the door and barked at them incessantly.

Shocked Lao Li.

And when Li Duoyu saw the big black dog in front of him, instead of being frightened, he swallowed his saliva.

The more ferocious the dog, the more fragrant the meat.

The big black dog was stared at by Li Duoyu, and after barking a few times, his ears drooped and slipped back to his kennel.

After hearing a dog barking.

A middle-aged man named Chen Atai walked out of the house, and when he saw that it was Lao Li, his face instantly pulled down.

"Looking for me, Wu Daizhi?"

The one who persuaded him to raise kelp back then was not Lao Li, but his wife's younger brother, who lost more than 2,000 yuan in less than two years, and still owed a lot of debt.

Originally, he was relatively wealthy in Chenjia Village, but now he is like a turtle with a shrunken head every day, and he doesn't dare to leave his family, for fear that others will collect debts.

Lao Li said through the wooden door: "Atai, the ropes and floats you used to breed kelp last year are still not there." ”

"It's still there, what are you asking about?"

The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

I know that there is a drama in this today.

Lao Li hurriedly said: "I want to buy those kelp things." ”

"Do you really want to buy it?"

Hearing that Lao Li wanted to buy kelp ropes and floats, Atai's face was much better, and he quickly opened the wooden door.

Over the years of raising kelp, he has only lost these kelp ropes and floats, but the fishery market has not been good in recent years, and everyone is selling, these kelp ropes can't be sold at all.

Now when I hear that someone wants to buy it, it's like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Come, sit in the house and make tea."

After Atai led Li Duoyu and his son into the door, he immediately brought out the tea set and brewed tea.

And in the following conversations.

Li Duoyu learned that Lao Li and Chen Atai were in the same fishing team when they caught big yellow croaker in the fifties and sixties and worked together for a long time.

It is precisely because of his introduction.

Lao Li met Chen Huiying.

When they were almost done, Atai took them to the abandoned stone house next door to see the kelp ropes and floats that raised kelp.

The floats were all of that kind of soft white foam, but each one was so large that the floats alone were piled up in an entire room, and one room was dedicated to kelp ropes.

Li Duoyu walked over and saw that all the white and brown ropes that could be used for kelp farming were stacked neatly, as much as half a house.

The white brown rope is twisted from sisal, and at this time, the white brown rope is an important material, which is needed in national defense, fishery, oil fields, forests, and mines.

This also leads to the price is not cheap, if you buy it at the price sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Duoyu estimates that he will have to peel off a layer of skin, and after buying the brown rope, there will be no money left.

And with the experience of his previous life, there is absolutely no problem with these floats and white-brown ropes to engage in kelp farming on 20 acres.

However, before buying second-hand brown rope, Li Duoyu still has a worry, that is, this kind of brown rope soaked in seawater has been useless for so long, and has it deteriorated and become brittle.

If you use spoiled brown rope to raise kelp, once it encounters strong winds and waves, the kelp will definitely be fed to the sea.

Li Duoyu squatted down and carefully inspected these brown ropes, and found that they were well preserved, and their toughness and stretchability were also okay, and it seemed that they had been specially taken care of.

After buying it, it is not a problem to hold on for another two or three years.

And Lao Li also picked up a rope and pulled it hard.

Seeing that the father and son wanted to find fault with the kelp rope, Chen Atai hurriedly said:

"The quality is definitely fine, I have always maintained it."

Li Duoyu also felt that there was really no problem with the quality, and the next thing was to talk about the price.

"Uncle Tai, these add up, three hundred are not for sale."

"I can't have more, when I bought these devices before, it cost me almost a thousand."

Li Duoyu sighed with emotion:

"You also know that the fishing industry is not easy now, and kelp is difficult to farm, so I have to take a big risk when I buy these second-hand ropes."

Chen Atai thought about it for a while, no one wanted it for a year, and it is estimated that it will break if he puts it down again.

"Forget it, three hundred is three hundred, just pay back the money owed to people first, and the province will be blocked at the door all day long."

"By the way, I also have a brother who raises kelp with me, and he also has a lot of kelp ropes and floats in his hands, should you buy them together?"

"Yes, take us there."

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Chen Atai, Li Duoyu came to another kelp farmer, whose kelp rope and float are not as many as Uncle Tai's, but at least 10 acres in size.

Li Duoyuhua 150 was directly received.

In the end, Li Duoyu bought the kelp rope and float that can breed 30 acres of kelp at a price of 450.

After the transaction, Li Duoyu immediately spent 10 yuan to call a tractor in Chenjia Village and pull all these kelp ropes and floats home.

And in the evening of the same day.

One of Chen Atai's nephews came to the door: "Uncle, have you sold those kelp ropes and floats?" ”

"You won't buy it too."

"Uncle, I didn't buy that thing, I came to tell you that there is a man named Li Duoyu in the next village who plans to raise kelp, and you can sell him the kelp rope."

"He's just here, and he's already sold it to him."

"Uncle, how much did you sell it?"

"Rope plus float, three hundred in total."

The young man patted his forehead:

"Uncle, what are you doing selling him in such a hurry, haven't you read the newspaper, that Li Duoyu told the leader, it is definitely not possible not to raise kelp, if your ropes and floats are brand new, they will cost at least one thousand and five, although we are second-hand, but at least we can sell him for seven hundred and five."

"Why didn't you say it sooner."

"How did I know they were so fast?"

Chen Atai looked at the direction in which Lao Li and Li Duoyu left, and his teeth were about to crush: "Damn, this family is really not a good thing." ”
