Chapter 352: A bumper harvest of kelp

The days of May have just begun.

It's the rainy season when fishermen hate it the most, and the roads are always wet and muddy, and it's easy to slip and fall on the boat when it gets the mucus of the seafood.

It may be because of the proximity to summer.

The rain in this rainy season is quite abundant, often all day at a time, and it is useless for the old fishermen to wear hats.

After a while, my whole body was wet.

The rain has been falling, and the new house built by Li Duoyu has also been forced to be suspended, and the homestead is full of puddles, and he can only continue to build houses after the rainy season passes.

Fortunately, the foundation has been laid early,

The septic tank has been completed,

The red brick walls were also built one story high.

Next, it is a matter of waiting for good weather to pour the cement slab on the first floor.

According to the current progress, Li Duoyu estimates that if the house wants to be completed, it will be at least after October.

During this period, a major event also occurred in the county, that is, the pirate case in Yuqi Village was officially announced to the public.

When the villagers of Dandan Island saw the newspaper, they were really shocked.

Nearly 100 people were arrested in the whole village, and half of the young people of the village went to work as pirates, the youngest of whom was only fifteen years old.

Although the newspapers did not explicitly say that the bombing of the ship at the end of last year was related to these people.

But the people who came back from Qingkou Wharf said that after the news was announced, Shangqi Village, which had been bombed, almost rushed to this pirate village, intending to smash all the fishing boats in this village.

Fortunately, he was persuaded by the leaders of the two towns, otherwise it would be another two-village fight.

On the other side of the dock, a few fishermen in hats discussed the matter.

"It's good to end it, and you don't have to be scared every day when you go to sea in the future."

"I really didn't expect to be so young."

"The child still has to be taught well, and he should be beaten or beaten, otherwise the state will help you take care of it."

And Zhao Erniu, who was selling blue crabs with a hat on the side, didn't pay attention to any pirates at all after hearing the news, but was thinking about another thing.

The young men of this pirate village were all caught, and that. There are probably a lot of young women of school age who can't find a match.

Zhao Erniu felt that he would take advantage of this time period to make more money, and when the time came, he would ask the matchmaker to go over for a run, and maybe he could let him pick up a leak.

Thinking of this, Zhao Erniu wiped the rain on his face, and his originally decadent cheeks were instantly full of fighting spirit.

Gritting his teeth and hating, he said:

"The sea, you stick to the widow, I will marry the young girl, and see who will lose face when the time comes."

Just as Li Duoyu expected, Wang Xianghong went to several places, even outside the province, and did not buy spare parts for diesel generators.

Fortunately, during this time, the rainfall is abundant, and the water level of the mountaintop reservoir is relatively high, and at night, it is still possible to release water to generate electricity for an hour or two.

This rainy season also made Li Duoyu quite uncomfortable, and he stayed at the eel breeding pond every day, always staring at the eel pond.

The water truck for aeration is open almost 24 hours a day.

Eel farmers hate the rainy season because of the large amount of rainwater that can easily throw the pond system out of balance.

It will also cause flooding ponds and dam failures.

At the turn of spring and summer, eels are most likely to get sick, and if there are continuous rainy days, it will be the worst.

One is not good, the whole pond of eels will be turned over for you, these days Li Duoyu personally stared at the eel pond, once the water body was out of balance, it was immediately adjusted.

And this rainy season lasted for more than a month, and when it ended, it was already the end of May.

And as soon as the rainy season ends.

Those villagers who have farmed kelp are impatient one by one, and they come to Li Duoyu every day to ask when they can harvest kelp.

This year's kelp raising, luck is really good, there is no natural disaster, in the past typhoons will blow once or twice a year, this year is almost June, there is no movement at all.

During the period when the kelp harvest was approaching, the uncle and the third uncle did not go to sea again, and everyone was ready to start harvesting the kelp.

During the period of kelp harvest, the town leaders were very concerned about the kelp harvest on Dandan Island.

Secretary Chen also played the name of "learning from Dandan Island", and organized village party secretaries and village directors from more than 10 villages to come to Dandan Island to study and learn from experience.

Seeing Li Duoyu take out the thick and long kelp from the sea, Secretary Chen Shulin couldn't help but ask: "Your kelp seems to look even better than last year." ”

Li Duoyu replied:

"Secretary, this year is a good year, and the kelp production will increase by about one-third compared to last year."

Chen Shulin smiled: "This is a good thing." ”

And those village party secretaries and village directors who came to visit were still not very optimistic about Li Duoyu's kelp farming.

For them, the most profitable way is to engage in a big boat to go out to sea to fish, and they can earn hundreds of yuan on a trip.

10,000 households in their village.

Except for those who were engaged in the early days, the rest were all fishing boat bosses.

And Langqi Village, which has the largest number of boats and the largest number of 10,000 households in Shangfeng Town, their village party secretary couldn't help but ask:

"Director Li, your investment in kelp farming is not big, how much money can you make if you raise one mu of kelp for half a year."

Everyone is a village cadre, and it is useless to brag about those vain things, the key is to see if you can make money.

Li Duoyu did a simple calculation:

"The cost of one acre of kelp is about fifty yuan."

"This year, our kelp yield is relatively high, and if we are one mu, we can sell it for almost two or three hundred."

Li Duoyu's algorithm is already quite conservative, last year's yield of his kelp was not as high as this year, and one mu has been sold for more than 300 yuan.

This year, not only the output has increased, but also the actual income of one acre, maybe it will be much higher than last year.

After hearing this price.

The village party secretary of Langqi Village was stunned, and their village has a natural deep-water port, which is very suitable for the development of fishery.

Since the opening of the fight.

He has been leading the whole village to develop the fishing industry, and he also has a big boat, and every time he goes out to sea to fish for a week or two, he can earn at least five or six hundred, and seven or eight thousand a year.

It's 10,000 yuan in two years.

And most of the 10,000 households in their village came like this.

But right now, this acre of kelp field can be sold for two or three hundred, and Xiasha Village has more than 500 acres of kelp field.

If all of them are sold, it will be an income of more than 100,000 yuan, and Director Li, the young man in front of him, will raise 100 acres of kelp alone.

The village party secretary of Langqi Village said enviously: "In other words, you only spent half a year raising kelp, and you earned twenty or thirty thousand." ”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It can't be counted like this, I also invested five or six thousand in this kelp farming, and this year I was just lucky, there was no typhoon."

"That's more profitable than us." Zhang Zhishu said with emotion: "Besides, those of us who beg for the sea, there is no risk in any line, our village all go to sea to fish, and we don't tie our lives to the belt of our pants every day." ”

"Zhang Zhishu is right."

On the spot, many village party secretaries and village directors proposed: "Secretary Chen, we also think that this kelp can be raised, so you should let Director Li guide us well." ”

As soon as he heard this kind of trouble, Li Duoyu naturally didn't do it, and threw the pot to Chen Dongqing on the spot, and said very modestly:

"I'm just half a bucket of water, all thanks to the guidance of Chen Dongqing, the section chief of the Lianjiang Fisheries Research Institute, if you really want to raise kelp, I suggest you can consult him."

More than 10 kilometers away at the Lianjiang Aquatic Nursery Center, Chen Dongqing, who was cross-breeding abalone fry, sneezed for no reason.

The students who came to intern around him were concerned: "Teacher Chen, do you have a cold, do you want me to pour you some hot water?" ”

Chen Dongqing rubbed his nose:

"No need, summer is coming, maybe rhinitis."

Chen Dongqing frowned, his intuition told him that there must be some bastard who was secretly calculating him again.

Li Duoyu is also listening to the weather forecast every day these days.

But this year due to the abnormal weather.

It often rains one day and the other day is sunny.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least two or three days to dry kelp.

But this year's climate is a little abnormal, the weather forecast is reliable at all, it is obviously a continuous sunny day, but the weather forecast says that it is rainy weather.

So much so that everyone missed several opportunities to dry kelp.

And in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning of June, the sea temperature increased by a few degrees, and some farmers even had a slight rot in their kelp.

Li Duoyu can only ask everyone to put the kelp a little deeper to avoid the kelp from being exposed to the sun.

The farmers were very anxious, and Chen Atai from the next village couldn't sit still at all, so he went to Li Duoyu's eel factory every day to drink tea and ask when he could collect kelp.

To be honest, the weather forecast is inaccurate.

Li Duoyu also has a headache, in his previous life, they collected and dried kelp, almost all of them were notified by the local fishery bureau by text message.

But during this time, the south wind blew every day on Dandan Island.

The south wind is humid and fickle.

Weather forecasts don't work at all.

Seeing that the temperature of the sea water is getting higher and higher day by day, and if it goes down, the kelp is really going to rot, Li Duoyu, who is also upset, smokes a cigarette for a long time.

I didn't take a few bites.

Li Duoyu stared at the direction of the smoke drift and was stunned, only then did he realize that the wind direction of Dandan Island had changed significantly, no longer a humid south wind, but a dry northeast wind.

"Damn, it's finally here."

In the previous life, once this kind of wind blew on Dandan Island, it would definitely be good weather in the next few days, and this wind was very suitable for drying kelp, and if you were lucky, you could dry the kelp in just one day.

Considering the recent changeable weather, Li Duoyu frowned and thought about it, and then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:

"Fellow villagers, villagers, there are kelp raisers, hurry out tonight to collect kelp, tomorrow is good weather, let's strive to dry the kelp one day."

After hearing Li Duoyu's notice, the kelp farmers who had been looking forward to it for more than half a month got up from their beds one by one and knocked on the doors of their relatives from door to door.

"Third sister-in-law, tell Yugui to get up, and I want to collect kelp tonight."

"In the middle of the night, don't let me sleep, can't I collect it tomorrow?"

"What our village director said, tomorrow the weather will be good, let us harvest it overnight tonight."

"Okay, let's get dressed."

Not long after.

Xiasha Village was full of villagers carrying lanterns, and they all rushed to the direction of the wharf.

And these days, Chen Atai, who was working on the floor at Li Duoyu's eel factory, ran back to the village overnight after hearing Li Duoyu's notice.

The other side of the dock was full of villagers carrying lamps, and after a rough calculation, there were probably more than 200 people.

Among them, the largest team is Li Duoyu's relatives, and all the seven aunts and eight aunts are here.

Looking at the huge team in front of him, Li Duoyu, who was holding a loudspeaker, shouted: "This is the first time that our village collects kelp at night, everyone must pay attention to safety"

Li Duoyu was only halfway through speaking, and the second uncle and eldest uncle couldn't help but say: "Duoyu, don't learn from those leaders to read compositions, just talk about the key points." ”

Li Duoyu coughed twice, and said with a fierce face: "Listen, safety first, if anyone messes around, all the breeding will not take them in the future, do you know?" ”

The villagers shouted in unison, "Got it." ”

"Let's go."

Immediately afterwards, the whole village of large and small fishing boats were dispatched.

Standing on the side of the Tianhou Temple and looking over, the sea was all orange-red light.

Last time, when there was such a big battle in the village, it was still fishing for small pipes.

In the kelp field, everyone works hard to pull the kelp to the sampan boat, and then the motorized fishing boat pulls their fishing boat to the drying point.

Li Duoyu and they all have bamboo pole racks for drying kelp, and they only need to pull the boat to the tidal flat and hang it up.

However, some farmers do not have racks for drying kelp on the tidal flats, so they can only transport the kelp to the wharf, and then pull it to the drying place by a tractor.

This night.

In the coastal waters of Xiasha Village, the sound of diesel engines and the sound of kelp pulling horns are everywhere, and many villagers are also noisy and unable to sleep, but more are red-eyed and annoyed.

In fact, last year, many villagers also wanted to invest in kelp farming with Li Duoyu.

I didn't think about it halfway, but I killed two Hong Kong Islanders and cheated them out of their money, resulting in their failure to cultivate kelp last year.

After hearing that this year's kelp harvest was bumper and had to be exported, many villagers regretted that their intestines were green, and they were scolding Wang Cannon in the middle of the night.

According to the rough statistics of some villagers, if this year's kelp is the same as last year's market, Xiasha Village will have seven or eight more 10,000 households, directly surpassing Langqi Village, and becoming the fishing village with the most 10,000 households in Shangfeng Town.

A few days ago, the weather changed back and forth, and those who didn't raise kelp were still snickering, wishing that the south wind would blow for a while.

In this way, they who raise kelp will not make so much money, but they didn't think that after waking up one night, the wind direction has changed.

And this kelp harvest, the happiest is Uncle Tai from Chenjia Village, who bought a lot of brown ropes and floats for kelp farming in advance.

As a result, he did not have the money to invest in abalone farming, so he escaped the catastrophe.

Now he also has 30 acres of kelp in his hands, although it is not as well managed by Li Duoyu, and the yield is not as high as that of Xiasha Village.

can be fully calculated, and he can earn 10,000 yuan this year.

He calculated.

Even if all the arrears are repaid, there will still be six or seven thousand left, although it will not be able to become the first 10,000 yuan household in the village.

But at least, there is no need to bow your head in the village.

As the first rays of the morning light shone on Dandan Island, the children, who slept until the morning and woke up, found that Xiasha Village had changed dramatically overnight.

The roads in the village, the roofs of the houses, and even the roofs of the public toilets, wherever kelp can be dried, are all covered with kelp.

The bamboo trellises on the tidal flat are also covered with kelp, and when the morning sun shines, it still flashes with a faint golden light.

It's pretty good. (End of chapter)
