Chapter 226: The Great Cooldown
The thunderstorm is getting heavier and heavier.
When Li Duoyu ran to the Maozhu factory, his whole body was already wet.
Fortunately, Daddy and Chen Wenchao's hands and feet are very neat, and almost all the dried oysters are collected in the factory.
Dried oysters are very afraid of being exposed to rain, especially if they have just been exposed to the sun for a few days, once they are rained, if the rainwater is not evaporated in time, it is easy to become moldy and deteriorate.
But the worst part was the eel pond, which became flooded as the rain became heavier and harder, and the clods became muddy and could not be dug at all.
Villagers digging eel ponds also ran to the bamboo factory to shelter from the rain.
For a while, the bamboo factory was crowded with people, and most of everyone's clothes were wet, and they all scolded this ghost weather in their mouths.
"It's almost the winter solstice, why is it still raining so heavily."
"As soon as the rain comes, I don't think I will be able to dig the pond for a week or two."
Li Duoyu smiled wryly, just now I thought it was interesting to watch others collect clothes and dried fish, but I didn't think that he was the one who dried the most seafood on the island.
And everyone is in a hurry.
The victim, Li Duoyu, didn't seem to be particularly anxious.
"It's raining so hard, why aren't you in a hurry."
Li Duoyu smiled helplessly.
"Just get used to it."
"You're in a really good state of mind."
A middle-aged man said: "If you have a bad mentality, do you dare to invest so much money to raise eels?" ”
On the side, Li Zhengtian looked at these dried oysters with a worried face, originally dried oysters were very weather-friendly, and Lao Li's oysters were very fat.
Not continuous sun for more than half a month.
It is very easy to deteriorate.
Looking at the continuous heavy rain, Lao Li was also very melancholy, but there was no way at all, so he could only ask the fourth child.
"Duoyu, I guess this rain is estimated to be going to rain for several days, and if it goes on like this, oysters will not work, do you have any way?"
Li Duoyu wrinkled his brows, in fact, he was also in a hurry, but it was useless to be anxious.
For farmers.
You can work on anything.
It's just the weather, and it's useless for you to try.
Li Duoyu was also anxious, watching his abalone farming raft be blown apart by the typhoon.
But it's useless to die in a hurry.
Extreme weather doesn't weaken a little because you're in a hurry, and the most important thing now is how to minimize the loss.
The eel pond is flooded.
After draining, just dig again.
It's a big deal that the construction period will be postponed for half a month, and it is also possible to raise eels later.
But the first thing to solve now should be the problem of dried oysters.
After his batch of oysters was dried and dried, there were about 600 catties, and one catty could be sold for one dollar.
If you sell them all.
Have at least six hundred dollars in income.
Next, if it's all raining, you really can't dry the oysters, and if it gets moldy, then I don't think you want to give it away.
Li Duoyu made a decision immediately, and shouted to the villagers who were sheltering from the rain on the spot:
"Because it rains, I can't dry it, the dried oysters are at a high price, and they are sold cheaply, so I can go back and fry them, fry them, and make oyster fried."
"After this day, there will be no such price."
As soon as Li Duoyu shouted like this, everyone looked at it, and they were all a little confused, why did they suddenly sell dried oysters.
But I've heard that there are special offers.
Someone couldn't help but be the first to ask.
"Isn't the big bargain cheap?"
Li Duoyu replied with a smile: "One pound and seven cents." ”
"Your oysters are so dry, they're still so wet, why are they still selling for so much money."
The villagers chimed in:
"Village director, you can't do this, where is this special, it's obviously not much cheaper."
Li Duoyu smiled: "Since you say so, then I will suffer a loss and sell you five cents directly." ”
After hearing this price, the villagers' hearts instantly moved.
"It's about the same price."
"But I didn't bring any money, so I can exchange it for today's salary."
"Yes, no problem."
"Then I want four pounds."
"I want three pounds."
After seeing Li Duoyu start selling oysters, Chen Wenchao ran back to his house in the rain as soon as possible and brought a rod and scale.
Most of the villagers on the island have eaten their oysters, and the taste is indeed very good, and the shelled oysters are sold for a dime a catty.
This kind of slightly dried, sold for five cents, is definitely cost-effective, seeing more and more people buying, some people who are still hesitating, have also shouted.
"I'm going to have two pounds too."
After buying the oysters, some people wrapped them in their clothes and ran home in the rain to tell their neighbors that the dried oysters were being made at a special price.
It didn't take a while.
Many uncles and aunts who heard about the special price came over wearing hats and saving money in their hands.
"Village chief, I want two catties of dried oysters."
"I'm going to buy twenty pounds."
After hearing this, everyone looked at a woman named Chen Xiulan.
"Why are you buying so many catties, it will go bad if you can't finish eating."
"I'll buy it back and bake it next to the stove, and I can sell it for a pound in the future."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Yes, everyone has a stove, you can put dried oysters on the stove and dry them slowly without eating them all.
"Then I'll get ten pounds too."
An afternoon of work.
Li Duoyu sold all the dried oysters.
Lao Li, who was helping on the side, really admired his fourth child, and he found that his brain was really not as good as his son.
When this kind of thing happened, he only thought about how to dry the oysters, but he didn't expect that he could sell the dried oysters directly.
Although it was a bit of a loss.
But at least it's better than mold and spoilage.
……
After selling all the dried oysters, Li Duoyu is also much easier, in fact, it is quite troublesome to dry dried oysters raw.
In their previous lives, they didn't use this method for a long time, they generally took short videos to deceive netizens, and almost all of them used dryers, which were very efficient, and they didn't have to think about the weather at all.
And as a farmer, he really thinks that there is not much difference between machine-dried oysters and naturally sun-dried oysters.
What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that this rain lasted for a whole week.
The eel pond he dug was filled with water, and it became a pond, which made him feel like he had a heart attack.
And the temperature has dropped from more than 20 degrees to single digits.
Before the rain, there were still many people wearing short sleeves on Dandan Island, but now, they all became turtles with shrunken heads, and some of them were afraid of the cold, and they had already put on cotton clothes and cotton pants.
It rained and cooled down.
Almost none of the villagers went out to sea to fish, but all of them stayed at home.
However, they did not have a great impact on Li Shuguang, who went fishing in the open sea, but allowed them to catch a lot of big fish.
Since the outsourcing of sea fishing.
Li Duoyu lies down every day to make money, Li Shuguang and they go to the open sea once every three days on average, and in less than a month, Li Duoyu has already received more than 400 yuan.
When giving Li Duoyu money.
Li Shuguang said: "A few days ago, when we were fishing in the open sea, we met that old man again, and we gave him the letter. ”
Li Duoyu asked, "After reading the letter, did he say anything?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I just felt a little depressed."
"Then have you told him what I said?"
"Told him."
Li Shuguang frowned and asked, "Do you really plan to go to his hometown to help him find his family, I think it's almost fine, it's completely unnecessary." ”
Li Duoyu replied with a smile: "After all, if you accept a pumping machine from someone else, and only help write a letter, it will be too expensive, and it just so happens that that place is also very close to Xiaoying's hometown, I can go over and have a look." ”
"That's okay."
But Li Shuguang had a strange feeling inexplicably, as if Li Duoyu had known for a long time that the old man would definitely not be able to find his wife and children, so Li Duoyu deliberately collected the pump.
