Chapter 317: Buying Wild Eels

After receiving Li Duoyu's batch of seafood, Old Man Mi loaded the seafood he received today onto the ship, planning to rush to Rongcheng before it was completely dark.

Seeing that Old Man Mi was about to leave.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered something: "Lao Mi, I want to ask you one thing, do you know anyone who sells river eels in Rongcheng?" ”

Old Man Mi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your river eel is talking about river slips." ”

Li Duoyu nodded.

"That's right, it's a creek slide."

In this era, the term river eel generally refers to eel, which is not accepted and recognized by everyone.

And the name varies greatly from place to place, but here on Dandan Island, the eel usually refers to the moray eel.

On the Banyan side, the eel refers to the freshwater eel raised by Xihua, that is, Li Duoyu.

But this kind of eel, maybe next to a village, has several names, some call it white eel, some call it blue eel, and some call it eel.

And when you go to the fish market to buy seafood, most of the merchants and fishmongers use the local dialect.

If you talk to them about river eels in Mandarin, they will probably be confused and have no idea what you're talking about.

Old man Mi replied:

"I know one or two people who specialize in selling river fresh, and there should be one that sells river slips, do you want me to ask you."

"Yes, if the price is about the same, you can help me bring some back."

Old Man Mi asked: "How much, I heard people say that this thing is very difficult to catch, and it can only be caught at night in the cage, and it may not be too cheap." ”

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Don't worry, even if you buy it for me, no matter how expensive it is, it won't be as expensive as the big yellow croaker, isn't it." ”

Old man Mi had a dark face, he regretted his death now, he shouldn't have said the price of the big yellow croaker just now.

Otherwise, if he sells these big yellow croakers caught by Li Duoyu, he can make at least half of the money.

"If there is a sale, I will help you bring it back, how much and how big you want."

Li Duoyu thought for a while: "You don't need too much, let's buy seven or eight first, if there are about half a catty and a catty, it's best." ”

Old man Mi was stunned: "Half a catty and a catty are too small, like you are young, at least you have to eat two or three catties, make up for it, I heard that after eating this thing, you will scream at night." ”

Li Duoyu smiled, he naturally knew what Old Man Mi was talking about.

Wild eels have thicker heads than farmed eels and are thick, short, and slippery.

It is inevitable that it will be associated with something, and the folk are very fond of complementing the form with form.

Wild river eels are often stewed and drunk with various tonic medicines and old sake, and the effect is said to be comparable to that of Viagra.

But in his previous life, Li Duoyu hadn't tried it, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

As soon as Old Man Mi reminded him like this, Li Duoyu remembered that some time ago, Lao Zhang at Qingkou Wharf also gave him a ginseng plant.

When the time comes, make a wild river eel, add some old ginseng and old wine to stew together, and try to see if there is such a magic as the folk legend.

But recently, Li Duoyu has been a little depressed, obviously he is already very strong, but Xiaoying seems to dislike him every time he finishes something.

made him a little autistic, he has been looking for various reasons, thinking about it, Li Duoyu feels that it should not be his own problem, it must be the quality of rubber in this era.

At that thickness, whoever wears it has a headache, since the hardware is not good, then rely on the software to make up for it.

And the reason why Li Duoyu wants to buy river eel is not to use it as a tonic, but to use it to make grilled eel.

In another ten days, the delegation may be in Rongcheng, and now he has invested so much in this eel breeding factory.

We must seize this opportunity to sell the eels, if we can export to earn foreign exchange, not only will he be happy, but the big leader will probably be even happier.

You can understand the islanders.

The islanders of this era are very floating, and very narcissistic, and they think that everything is the best of their own home.

In fact, the eels of the island country are the same species as the eels on their side, but the people of the island country do not recognize them alive or dead, so they have to say that they are better.

This is just like the kimchi country next door, every day they say that they have the best kimchi in the world in Korea.

As a result, the truth is that the kimchi they ate was all the masterpieces of a large province in our country.

Island people are people who are more lenient with their own people, but quite strict with the outside world.

In previous lives, the standards for eels exported to their countries were much higher than those for their own countries.

What's funnier is that they have a company that often uses eels imported from our country to pass off as their local eels.

As a result, the people of the island country have eaten it for more than ten years, and they can't make a difference at all.

Li Duoyu thinks that the most effective way to communicate with the people of the island country is not to force them too much, and directly tell them with practical actions.

"Lao Tzu Xing."

"Lao Tzu can do it."

That's it.

Li Duoyu plans to wait for them to visit the eel breeding factory on Dandan Island, and directly serve them some grilled eels, and by the way, give them a taste of the breadth and profundity of Chinese cooking.

Tell them that there is not only one way to make eel, but also steamed eel with sour plum, garlic eel, and boiled eel.

It's a pity that the eels he raised were only about four months old, only about two or two, and they were still too small.

Li Duoyu, who has worked in the dark for 20 years and slaughtered at least tens of thousands of eels, knows very well that the bigger the eel used for grilled eels, the better.

Half a catty of eel tastes the best, those soft spines are almost negligible, and the fat is just right.

And more than a pound of eel, you can clearly feel those soft spines when you eat it, so the eels in high-end Japanese restaurants are about half a pound of eel.

After Li Duoyu returned home.

found that A-Niang and her second sister-in-law were both cooking on the fire, while Zhou Xiaoying was taking care of the children.

Recently, Xiao Tutu is weaning, and he is making a lot of noise, and he wants to drill into his mother every day.

Zhou Xiaoying was also reluctant to wean, but somehow, after the child was one year old, the amount of milk became less and less.

There was simply not enough for him to drink.

Unlike the second sister-in-law next door, the amount of milk is sufficient, and Li Haoran was directly milked to the age of two.

Better a finger off than always aching.

Zhou Xiaoying felt that if it continued like this, it would not be good for Xiao Tutu's growth and development, so she simply weaned slowly and gave him something more nutritious.

But Xiao Tutu didn't like the fish paste and rice paste very much, and every time he fed him, he closed his mouth tightly and refused to eat it.

Seeing that Xiao Tutu refused to eat, Zhou Xiaoying lifted her shirt and was about to feed him some more milk.

But he was stopped by Li Duoyu.

"You can't wean like that."

Looking at the noisy little Tutu, Li Duoyu found that he and Xiaoying seemed to be too used to him.

From an early age, he was given the best clothes and the best food.

It's not just diapers.

There is also milk powder from the island nation.

As a result, this guy is not as cute as he imagined, but has a bit of a bad personality.

In many cases, it is difficult for parents to be aware of this behavior of spoiling their children, especially under the one-child policy.

In an exaggerated family, a child has six adults to take turns petting, which directly leads to the mass production of many giant babies.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Be ruthless, if you refuse to eat, just starve him for two days, and see if he eats at that time." ”

Zhou Xiaoying also felt that what Li Duoyu said made sense, and Shanshan also told her that she had to be ruthless, if it was not broken, this time would not be good for adults and children.

"But if he refuses to eat all the time, what should he do, when the nutrition can't keep up, maybe he will be smaller than others."

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while, this is really a problem, this little bastard's personality seems to be a bit of a follow-up, and he is definitely a master of trouble.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, if you really don't like fish paste and rice cereal, let's cook goat's milk for him to drink."

There are goats on Dantan Island, and a small amount of goat milk is supplied, but it is more expensive, and you have to make an appointment with those who raise goats in advance.

"By the way, Daddy said, if you come back, go to the new house to have a look, the old Cao who built the house seems to be there."

Li Duoyu didn't expect Daddy to be so concerned about building a new house.

However, it is understandable that after Xiao Rong came back last time, he could only squeeze into the same bed with the splash.

As a result, she woke up every day with panda eyes, because the splash was very good at snoring, and she had a big belly, Xiaorong didn't dare to kick her, so she could only burrow her head under the pillow and cover her ears to sleep.

During this time, what Daddy is most afraid of is that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will come back, and once they come back, there will be no place for them to live at home, so I've been in a hurry recently.

Li Duoyu pinched the little Tutu who was still crying, and then said: "Boy, be obedient and know if you know, if you are obedient, I will buy you a few cans of malt milk essence." ”

Zhou Xiaoying glared at him.

"Malt milk essence is so expensive, don't spend money all the time, I don't know how much it costs to build a house, you have saved some recently, don't be extravagant."

"Where am I spending so much?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said: "It's not that I said, others are not optimistic about your eel breeding factory, and they have invested so much money in it, if the eels can't be sold, we will lose a lot of money, and besides, your money is all borrowed from the credit union, and it will have to be repaid sooner or later." ”

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Who said that I don't make money raising eels, how do these people understand, I raise kelp and say that I don't make money, but I made five times as much." ”

"I keep oysters healthy, and I say that I don't make money, but I still make tens of thousands of yuan."

As soon as Li Duoyu said this, Zhou Xiaoying pondered for a while, it seems that this is really the case, no matter what her husband does, there is always a group of people on the island who are singing about it.

"No matter what they say, I'm definitely behind you anyway."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Wife, what if I really lose money and owe a lot of debt?" ”

Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Then in addition to being a teacher, I will also go to make up the net with everyone, in exchange for me to support you and pay off your debts." ”

Li Duoyu exclaimed: "Really fake? ”

Zhou Xiaoying nodded: "It's not that I haven't suffered, when I reported the goods the year before last, I was very worried that you would be caught, at that time, I was thinking, if you are really caught, even if I teach and do odd jobs, I have to save money to get you out of it." ”

Li Duoyu directly picked up Zhou Xiaoying's face, pointed it to her lips, and "poofed" it fiercely.

"Wife, I have decided in the future, if you want to be happy, the two of us will be happy together, and I can't be the only one."

Zhou Xiaoying wiped her mouth with her hand, then put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and said with a disgusted face: "What did you eat at noon, your mouth stinks to death." ”

"Just a few big oysters."

"It's useless for you to eat more, if you can't do it, you can't do it."

"I've changed the recipe this time, and I'm sure you'll scream."

"There's Haoran living next door, don't think about it all day long."

Li Duoyu suddenly found a blind spot, so every time she came, she was very restrained, for fear of disturbing others.

"Is it possible, it's not that I can't do it, but you're too nervous and always afraid of being heard, so our quality has not been able to improve."

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned, maybe there was really such a possibility, every time the fish moved faster and the voice became louder, she would be very resistant, worried about being heard.

"Or, if you find a weekend, I'll spend some money to let the second brother's family go to Rongcheng Zoo, and let them stay in Rongcheng for one night by the way, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiaoying glared and said, "Why are you spending such unjust money." ”

"The main thing is that I want to serve you and let you enjoy the feeling of flying."

Zhou Xiaoying said angrily: "As long as you don't mess around, it's the best service for me." ”

"That's not good, if I don't mess around at my age, I'll really live in vain, and maybe I won't be able to do it when I'm old."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, his hand stretched out towards Zhou Xiaoying's abdomen and groped up.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was speechless: "Don't make trouble, hurry up, Daddy and Lao Cao are waiting for you over there." ”

Before leaving.

Li Duoyu glanced at Xiao Tutu, and said with a smile on his face: "Stinky boy, your mother has been occupied by you for almost a year, and from today on, your mother will be your father's." ”

Zhou Xiaoying directly slapped off his dog paw and glared at him fiercely: "Why do you always tell such meat words to children." ”

"He doesn't understand, what are you worried about?"

"Hurry up, grinding, it's getting dark, get things done, come back early for dinner."

In the vegetable field less than 50 meters away from their family yard, Lao Li took a hoe and directly leveled the 200-square-meter vegetable field.

When Lao Cao saw Li Duoyu, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Director Li, I've been waiting for you for a year, and finally let me wait for you, your house is quite big, how are you going to build this house." ”

Li Duoyu pondered for a while, in fact, he always had the appearance of a new house in his mind.

If you build a new house.

He will no longer choose a tiled house with beams, but a house with a frame structure and cement slabs, so that when the typhoon comes, he will not be afraid of the tiles being overturned or leaking.

On the contrary, Li Duoyu is more worried that Lao Cao's technology to build a house is not good, and whether he will build such a house.

Li Duoyu said the house he wanted to build with a serious face:

"I plan to build two floors of this house, tie steel bars, and pour cement slabs"

"Then, fence off the whole yard and make an iron gate open here."

"The house is 100 square meters, and the rest is all in the courtyard, and there is a separate bathroom for me here, but we have to get a septic tank in advance."

Seeing that Li Duoyu talked about so many details of building a house, the stonemason Lao Cao was stunned, and for a moment, he felt that Li Duoyu knew better than him.

Lao Cao thinks that he is relatively advanced, and often goes to Rongcheng to visit and study.

But many of the things Li Duoyu talked about were even more advanced than the houses he visited and studied.

In particular, the septic tank and the concept of a shower were only introduced to him two months ago.

Before, he was still thinking about how to persuade the people in the village to build this kind of independent toilet and bathing room, but he didn't think that Li Duoyu would come to the door like this.

Lao Cao said excitedly: "Yes, I promise to build your house well, and strive to set an example for our village, and I will follow you in the future." ”
