Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Piling Master
(I asked the uncle at home, and I learned that wood was not cheap in the early 80s, and many people went to the forest farm to steal wood, because it was needed to build houses and make furniture.)
At that time, the money was calculated by the square, and the uncle was not sure how much each side was, only said that it was between 50-100, and the price was even more unclear, if the big guy knew, you could tell me. )
------
It took almost six days.
Li Duoyu did a good job of the wooden stakes used for piling.
Nowadays, wooden stakes, kelp ropes and floats are arranged and stacked on the pier, attracting many fishermen to stop and watch.
"Lao Li, your family has a lot of fish, you don't really want to raise kelp, right?"
"Atai in the next village has lost everything like that, you still dare to raise it, it's really brave enough."
In the face of the persuasion of the villagers, Lao Li was very calm on the surface, but in fact he was panicked to death, but his mouth was still super hard.
"Now that the technology has advanced, someone has to give it a try."
Li Duoyu counted a total of 332 of these wooden stakes, and these days are also thanks to the second brother and these relatives.
Li Duoyu did not have "heavy bleeding".
Nearly 100 casuarinas, and the production team only collected about 400 yuan from him.
The amount of food, wine, cigarettes, tea, and timber that everyone was invited to eat these days did not exceed five hundred.
Coupled with the money to buy kelp ropes and floats a few days ago, Li Duoyu just invested 1,000 yuan in kelp farming.
For now, this is definitely a lot of money, but this is only the first step in the road to burning money for kelp farming.
After making the stakes.
Li Duoyu ran to his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing in a hurry and asked him to help him contact a piling master in Lianjiang who specializes in driving deep-sea wooden piles to come and drive piles.
The most suitable area for kelp cultivation is the mud bottom or mud bottom with a water depth of about 20~30 meters.
Because of this depth, even in the event of a phenomenal astronomical dry tide, there will be no kelp hanging to the bottom, if it is raised in too shallow waters, a bad luck is no harvest.
And the sea area that Li Duoyu fancies.
The average depth is exactly 20 meters.
......
Li Duoyu vaguely remembers that in 83 years, there were already kelp piling rigs on the Bohai Sea, but the southern side started relatively late, and almost all of them were manual piling.
It is not an easy task to drive wooden stakes to a depth of 20 meters to the bottom of the sea by hand.
Chen Atai, who used to breed kelp, just saved a little bit in all aspects, and felt that he knew everything, and he also found his own people for piling, which caused the tragic situation of no kelp grains.
But Li Duoyu is very willing to spend this money, raising kelp is the same as building a house, the foundation must be solid, and it is okay to spend more money, so that you will live more comfortably.
The best way is to hire a professional piling team to drive piles, and Lianjiang Fisheries Research Institute has a ready-made cooperation team.
About two days later.
Li Duoyu and Lao Li were waiting for the piling team at the dock early in the morning.
After waiting for about two hours, two large sampan boats finally appeared in their field of vision.
There were quite a few workers sitting on the sampan boat.
The two ships add up, there are almost ten, and the brother-in-law Chen Dongqing is also on one of them.
After docking with the sampan boat.
The workers on it disembarked one after another, and under the command of Chen Dongqing, moved some of the wooden stakes and kelp ropes to the sampan boat.
"Duoyu, you can do these casuarinas, each one is so thick, it cost a lot of money." Chen Dongqing said.
Li Duoyu also directly told the truth:
"Thanks to the blessing reported by your research institute, the brigade has given a lot of convenience, and I will take it for a few hundred yuan."
Listening to Li Duoyu talk about the newspaper again, Chen Dongqing snorted coldly:
"In the last report, I gave you a boy, just the fake big empty you told the leader, if the kelp is not well raised, the last one will be embarrassed."
Li Duoyu said with a confident face:
"You can put a hundred hearts on this, I may not be able to study, but raising kelp, no one on the entire Dandan Island is better than me."
As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, the back of his head was slapped by Lao Li.
"What kind of big-tailed wolf is pretending to be with your uncle, a top student of the Ocean Academy, since you want to raise kelp, be humble and study hard with your uncle."
Seeing Li Duoyu being taught a lesson, Chen Dongqing smiled very happily, since he was a child, he liked to watch his brother-in-law repair him.
"Brother-in-law, where's my sister?"
"Your sister is afraid that everyone will be hungry when they are piling at sea, so she is baking cakes for everyone, and when she waits for food, she should bring them to everyone."
"It's been a long time since I've eaten my sister's bare cake."
"If you want to eat, come back when you have time, it seems like you haven't been back to the island for a long time."
"In the past two years, the work in the institute has been relatively busy."
In fact, everyone knows the reason why Chen Dongqing doesn't want to return to the island, but he didn't deliberately say it.
The reason why Chen Dongqing returned to the island this time is because this kelp breeding experiment is very important to him.
Because if the plum fish is successfully farmed.
His status in the institute will increase, and he may even be promoted to reuse, and most importantly, he will prove that he can make money from kelp farming, not lose money.
Less than an hour.
The piling workers moved a sampan of timber and kelp rope.
Lao Li stayed behind to take care of the remaining timber and kelp rope.
Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing followed the main ship used to drive piles, which would be larger than the other, and at the bow sat a young master in his thirties with calloused hands.
The moment Li Duoyu saw him, he was in a trance, because he recognized this person.
Even if he came back from the island country in later life, this person was still making a living by piling, and half of the fishermen in Lianjiang County who raised kelp and planted seaweed liked to find him to pile up.
Because he is not only of good character,
The piles are strong and cheap.
In the years when Li Duoyu raised kelp, he also had a lot of piles with him, and the two also drank wine and chatted together.
During the chat, Li Duoyu would tell him some things about the illegal work in the island country, and he also told him a lot of things other than piling.
After getting on the boat, it didn't take long for Chen Dongqing to introduce Li Duoyu.
"Duoyu, this is the best piling master in Shangfeng Town, Master Zhang Zetian, he used to be a soldier, and he just retired from the army not long ago, if you want to make up for piles in the future, you can just find him directly."
Chen Dongqing just finished the introduction.
Master Zhang scratched his head shyly: "It's not that powerful, I'm just a pile driver, you don't need to call me master, just call me Lao Zhang." ”
Li Duoyu cleared his throat and suddenly shouted, "Lao Zhang." ”
"Here."
After hearing this answer, everyone laughed from ear to ear, and one worker said:
"Lao Zhang, are you afraid of naming names, why do you always answer."
And Li Duoyu didn't laugh, but felt a little heavy, because this problem was left by Lao Zhang's big battle somewhere in the southwest in 79.
It is a symptom of post-war PTSD.
Back then, Lao Zhang told him that his problem was left from the battlefield, and because the situation was very tragic at that time, their company often called names.
Named by name, people who didn't shout.
Almost all of them were sacrificed.
And those of them who survived, every time they were called, shouted loudly.
And after that, when he was not mentally prepared, when others suddenly called him by name, or Lao Zhang, he would subconsciously answer "to".
Because he couldn't pass the psychological barrier, Lao Zhang did not accept the job assigned to him by the leader after the big battle, but returned to Shangfeng Town.
When most of the people in the town were engaged in the goods, he always stuck to the bottom line and never touched it.
Because he has experienced life and death and battles, he understands better than anyone what is called national interests.
