After Li Duoyu dealt with things.

The villagers took the initiative to install the gate of the village committee and clean up the dirty things that had been spilled before.

Although they lost a lot of money by investing in abalone farming, they learned that they could still get some blood back, and these villagers were so excited that they all had smiles on their faces.

An eldest lady hurriedly ran back to the halfway point, knocked on the wooden door next door and shouted, "Cuilan, tell you good news." ”

A middle-aged woman with red eyes and a pale face opened the door.

"The village director said that we didn't lose all the money we invested in abalone, and we might come back a little."

Zhang Cuilan looked shocked, she couldn't believe it, "You really didn't lie to me, our money can be refunded." ”

The eldest lady nodded and said:

"The village director said so, then it must be refunded, but I don't know how much to retreat, in short, if you want to open something, the money can be earned again, and if the people are gone, it will be completely gone."

I heard that there is still money to be returned.

Zhang Cuilan suddenly thought about it, turned around and went back to the house, took the barrel and the small rake.

"Why are you going here?"

Zhang Cuilan said seriously: "The tide will ebb soon, I'll go to ask Xiaohai and get some clams to sell back." ”

"You haven't eaten for days, how can you still have the strength."

"Forget it, I'll go with you too."

After Li Duoyu returned home.

Little Fat Dun also came back from school, and was feeding chickens and ducks with chopped trash fish.

After seeing Li Duoyu, he didn't feed it directly, and ran over with an excited face.

"Uncle, when did you come back?"

"It wasn't long after I came back." Li Duoyu touched his head, and looking at his expectant look, he knew what he wanted.

I went back to the house and took a bottle of colorful candy, and then handed it to him: "I feel that you have fewer teeth, eat less and know if you have it." ”

"Got it, uncle."

"By the way, uncle, what's the name of this candy, why does it look so much like a sea urchin."

"It's called Jinpingtang."

Although this sugar is called the national sugar of the island country, to be honest, Li Duoyu thinks that this thing is average, similar to the crystal sugar in China, and it is made of food coloring and white sugar.

However, after putting on the coat of imported goods, the fragrance that Little Fat Dun ate, Li Duoyu could even predict it.

Little Fat Dun secretly carried Jinping candy in his pocket, and when he got out of class, he deliberately took it out to eat in front of everyone, and showed off:

"It's sugar from the island country."

And at this time.

Zhou Xiaoying was in the kitchen, helping A-Niang cook, Li Duoyu sniffed and smelled a sour smell.

It seems that A-Niang cooked pickles and pork ribs soup for him again, and since the last time he cooked this soup, Li Duoyu has eaten three bowls of rice.

Ah Niang knew that he liked this soup very much, so every time he wanted to celebrate, he cooked this pickle pork rib soup.

In addition to pork rib soup.

A-Niang also made a wooden barrel of rice.

At this time, pressure cookers were not yet popular, and if you wanted to eat rice, it was really a bit troublesome, so you could score two steps.

You have to boil the rice in a large iron pot first, then use that large colander to remove the rice, and then put it on a small stove to simmer slowly.

And A-Niang used a wooden barrel for steaming rice this time, and there are many gaps under this wooden barrel.

To prevent rice from leaking out.

Generally, a layer of white gauze is spread, and after the rice is taken out, it is slowly steamed in a wooden barrel to steam off the moisture in the rice.

This time, when Ah Niang steamed the rice, she added the hairtail marinated with salt and ginger.

It takes about half an hour to steam and wait for the juice of the hairtail to penetrate into the rice, and the unique flavor of the hairtail rice is ready.

And this kind of fish rice is very famous in Dandan Island, and those who love it love it very much, but those who are not used to eating it can't eat a bite.

According to Lao Li, this rice with fish was invented by a man who went to sea in the fifties and sixties, because the whole boat was big and coarse.

No one knows how to cook rice at all, so in order to save trouble, they cut the hairtail into sections, add a little salt and cook it with the washed white rice.

Sometimes, it is boiled with fish porridge, and sometimes it is boiled with fish rice.

And when there is no fresh hairtail, the pickled hairtail will be used, which has a light ammonia flavor, which is more exciting.

saw Zhou Xiaoying helping to chop vegetables.

Li Duoyu said: "Tutu is crying, I can't coax it, you hurry back and coax." ”

Zhou Xiaoying hurriedly took off her apron, and when she came to the bedroom, she found that Xiao Tutu hadn't woken up at all, and when she returned to the kitchen again, she found that Li Duoyu was already helping to chop vegetables.

Zhou Xiaoying was angry and funny, and wanted to say something, but she held back the words.

This man in his own family.

Why do you like to cook so much?

Li Duoyu ate exquisite cuisine in the island country for a month, and even ate high-end sashimi, tuna chin meat.

But what I like the most is the taste of this hometown.

The salty and fragrant, very good pickle pork rib soup, as well as the unique flavor, soft and glutinous hairtail rice, and his own fried dried shrimp cabbage.

Accidentally, I ate three bowls of rice.

After eating and drinking.

Li Duoyu sat on the stone bar to eat.

Looking at the sunset over the sea, you can occasionally see a few sailboats sailing in order to save diesel fuel.

And as night fell.

After dinner, when the relatives learned that he had returned, they came to their house one after another, and some even brought their own small benches, all wanting to hear about him going abroad.

A bunch of men were all there, touching the fishing rod he brought back, Li Qingguang, the youngest in their generation, was so excited that he was incoherent after touching the fishing rod.

"Brother, if you want to go fishing, you must take me with you."

Li Shuguang patted his head.

"Your brother is here, why is every time he calls Duoyu, he is so kind, and he always calls me by my name."

Li Qingguang said with disgust: "You have known to bully me since you were a child, and you still let me call you brother, there is no door, it is not bad to not call you a nickname and bare ass." ”

"Your kid rebelled, didn't you?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

After the news of Li Duoyu's return spread, Chen Wenchao also brought Liu Xiaolan over that night.

A group of people sat there and listened to Li Duoyu talk about what he had seen and heard about going abroad.

Li Duoyu didn't plan to talk about it, but seeing their expectation, he said a little.

I heard that the trains there can travel more than 1,000 kilometers in a day, and the buildings there are hundreds of meters high, and the streets are full of cars.

And when they heard that the starting price of taking a taxi in the island country actually cost Li Yaoguo three months' salary, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

In the end, Li Duoyu said that a tuna was auctioned at a high price of 180,000 yuan, and everyone was completely stunned.

Immediately after, his eyes were full of yearning.

The second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, said excitedly: "If you want to go to the island country to wash the dishes, you can earn at least two or three thousand a month." ”

Li Duoyu nodded and said:

"It's estimated that it's more than five or six thousand."

The second sister-in-law gasped and said, "If I were you, I would definitely find a way to escape and not come back, five or six thousand a month, and ten thousand yuan in two months."

Li Qingguang said: "If it were me, I wouldn't come back, I would do it for seven or eight years, and after I came back, I would definitely be the richest on the whole island." ”

After Li Haoran heard his mother's words, he said speechlessly: "A-Niang, I really give you a chance, you don't really want to abandon me and my father." ”

The second sister-in-law glared at him.

"What is abandonment, I'm here to earn you a wife."

"I'm still so young, what do I want a wife?"

"You don't want to study hard, you will definitely not find a wife in the future, I will make some money first and build you a big house."

Li Haoran muttered

"You don't have to study to find a good wife, my uncle doesn't like to study, my aunt is so beautiful and takes care of her family."

After hearing this, the relatives laughed one after another: "Okay, this kid's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

The third uncle also followed and said: "Haoran, if you really don't know how to read, when you graduate from junior high school, you will follow your uncle, maybe you can make more money." ”

Zhu Xiuhua looked at these coaxing relatives with a little annoyance, if it had been two months ago, she would definitely turn her face back.

But this time, due to the investment in abalone farming, she lost all the money in her family, and she glanced at Li Yaoguo, who was smiling happily.

I had to swallow the words that were put in my mouth again.

Li Duoyu glanced at these relatives.

In the previous life, almost ten years later, one-third of the people here were either smuggled to the beautiful country or smuggled to the island country.

And now is not the peak of smuggling in Shangfeng Town, it will be almost the 90s.

Once the first smugglers have gained a foothold, they will try to bring their families and relatives there.

Li Duoyu remembers that in the 90s, on the streets of Tokyo at night, he could often meet the villagers on the island.

This night.

Everyone listened to Li Duoyu until late, and seeing Li Duoyu yawning, Chen Huiying looked distressed, and hurriedly called everyone home.

And this night, when Li Duoyu went to bed, Zhou Xiaoying specially reminded him that he had to go to the town to buy a new bed and come back.
