This side of the kombu field.

Six sampan boats are already busy.

Collecting kelp is a very hard job.

The kelp on a two- or three-meter-long kelp rope weighs more than 100 catties, and it is necessary to rely on manpower to salvage them from the sea one by one.

In later generations, there was a special kelp harvester, and it was relatively easy to collect kelp, and the kelp could be lifted from the sea by simply controlling the crane.

But in this day and age.

Almost all rely on human labor to pull hard, and the fight is physical strength and endurance.

Usually for each sampan, three people work together, one is responsible for untying the slipknot between the kelp rope and the main rope, and the other two people tow the kelp onto the boat.

And before receiving.

Li Duoyu laid a rectangular brown rope net under the sampan boat, so that the crane on the trawler could lift the kelp to the big boat.

Li Duoyu, Chen Wenchao and Li Yaoguo were assigned to the same boat, and Li Yaoguo, who rarely went to sea to work, was responsible for untying the kelp rope.

And Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao are responsible for pulling the kelp up, and with the cooperation of the three of them, they can pull a kelp rope up in two minutes.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle, as fishermen of the older generation, have the habit of shouting trumpets when doing this kind of work.

Didn't pull the kelp for a while.

The two of them shouted loudly, and there was no trumpet to sing.

"Oops, hey."

"Hey~hey~hey~"

Miraculously, as soon as the horn sounded, everyone's movements were also coordinated, and when they started working, it was much smoother.

After about an hour, everyone's sampan boat was already full of kelp.

Li Duoyu's sampan ship is very loaded, and the kelp pile is half a person high.

The sea has reached the edge of the ship, and it looks like it could flood in at any time.

And Li Yaoguo, who usually rarely goes to sea, saw that the ship was about to be flooded, and he was very nervous, holding the diesel engine head with both hands.

"Fish, our ship won't sink."

The uncle on the side said with a smile: "At first glance, you rarely go to sea, and our kind of ship has empty cabins and is full of wood, so I am afraid of capsizing, not afraid of sinking, and I will take away two hundred catties for you." ”

Li Yaoguo kept shaking his head: "Forget it, so be it." ”

Wait until the six sampan boats are filled with kelp.

Brother Lobby drove his powered fishing boat and pulled these small sampans to the third uncle's trawler.

The trawler's crane is then used to pull the harvested kelp onto the trawler first.

Then, everyone returned to the kelp field.

Continue harvesting kelp.

When the trawler could not be loaded and the tide rose, everyone went to the bamboo stakes on the tidal flats and hung the collected kelp on the ropes of the bamboo stakes.

And this time.

The advantages of using bamboo stakes to dry kelp are reflected, everyone only needs to work in a sea area, no longer need to transport kelp to land, find an open space to dry, save a lot of time and effort.

After all, there is a race against time to harvest kelp, and the better the weather, the faster everyone will harvest it.

As for tiredness,

That must be exhausting.

But Li Yaoguo, who sat in the office, survived, and others were embarrassed to shout tired.

Although it was only the end of April.

But the sun at noon was still hot, and it made everyone uncomfortable.

But everyone did not go back, but took a temporary rest on the trawler.

After a morning of rushing to harvest, these relatives who came to help, all of them were wet and sticky, and the youngest Qingguang felt too uncomfortable, so he jumped directly into the sea and swam twice directly.

And the older generation laughed and scolded: "Silly, this is sea water, the more you wash it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and you will be covered with salt all over your body." ”

And Li Duoyu, who was resting, suddenly had a foreign object on the soles of his feet, as if a small stone had fallen into the pair of waterproof shoes that Zhou Xiaoying gave him.

When I poured it out, it turned out to be a small abalone, which may have fallen into it while collecting kelp.

Li Duoyu smelled it curiously, it was the kind of athlete's foot mixed with the smell of stinky death, the kind of giant head.

In order to thank everyone for their help, Li Duoyu did not save money this time, in addition to asking A-Niang to cook salty rice and kelp bone broth, he also bought several cases of Rongcheng beer to treat everyone.

Brother Datang, who even ate three bowls of salty rice, couldn't help but praise: "After eating so many salty rice, I feel that the salty rice of my aunt's house is the most fragrant." ”

Chen Huiying smiled: "Isn't it fragrant, stir-fry this pot of salty rice, and use up all the lard at home." ”

"So reluctant."

"It's not that Duoyu specially explained, saying that you should eat more oil and water, and you won't have the strength to work when the time comes."

"Hahaha."

This reminds us of the days of the 70s, when there was a special shortage of oil and water, because at that time, everything was allocated.

There is no shortage of seafood on the island, but the most lacking is oil and water, at that time, even if you eat more seafood, but there is no oil and water in your stomach, you still feel hungry and panicked, and you can't feel good all over.

Li Duoyu remembers that for a while, he was afraid when he saw seafood, and after the big yellow croaker without oil and water was steamed, he really didn't want to eat a bite.

In later generations, his son told him what kind of "rabbit meat syndrome" they were.

What else to say, when people are hungry, they must consume fat first, and when the fat is not enough to consume, they begin to consume muscle to provide energy, so it is useless to eat more meat without fat.

Therefore, human beings can't do without oil and water, and animals are the same, many animals don't like to eat meat, but only like to eat liver and fatty meat with more oil and water.

It's a pity that Li Duoyu doesn't read much, except for seafood farming and cooking skills, the rest really don't know anything.

It wasn't until later that it was released.

You can raise pigs and chickens and ducks by yourself, and the situation has improved, and the miscellaneous fish and shrimp caught by the fishermen have been used to feed the pigs for a while.

After everyone finished the salty meal, they all drank the kelp bone broth again, even if they had drunk it several times, but everyone was still full of praise for the taste.

After Chen Wenchao finished eating, he was alone, squatting in a place without sun, biting the cap of the bottle with his teeth, and drinking beer.

Li Duoyu also took a bottle of beer, leaned the edge of the bottle cap against the edge of the wood of the boat, and quickly hit it.

The beer bottle cap was also opened.

Speaking of which, there are really many ways to open beer bottle caps, with chopsticks, with knives, and with lighters.

The most exaggerated thing is that in the short videos of later generations, there are still "murder weapons" opened, and Li Duoyu still doesn't understand what is going on.

After opening the lid of the beer.

Li Duoyu raised the beer bottle and touched the bottle in Chen Wenchao's hand.

"Didn't you work too hard last night, why are you so tired today?"

Chen Wenchao grinned: "I slept alone last night. ”

"Then why do you still look constipated?"

Chen Wenchao said truthfully: "It's just that I see that you have so many relatives and such a good relationship, I really envy you." ”

Li Duoyu sighed.

No wonder this kid said so little today, he thought he had a quarrel with Liu Xiaolan, and this is the reason for daring to love.

Chen Wenchao's family should be the latest group of people to live on Dandan Island, and the family population is relatively small.

In addition, his father and mother, who begged Xiaohai in the early years, were swept away by the sea water on the reef side, and in the end, only he and an old lady were left.

Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder.

"If you want more people, it's not simple, you and Xiao Langa work hard to have a few more, and in a few years, people will be prosperous."

Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly: "Now that the birth is planned, I heard that there are only two at most, and any more will be fined." ”

Listening to him say this, Li Duoyu realized that now is indeed the time when the birth plan is the strictest.

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "Then make more money, as long as you have enough money, you are not afraid of his punishment." ”

Chen Wenchao said with a smile:

"Brother Yu, how many babies my family can give birth to, it's all up to you."

"Okay, no problem."

But Li Duoyu thought about it carefully, why did this always feel a little wrong.
