Chapter 478: Family Portrait

(In the toothache, the update is late, please forgive me.) ๏ผ‰

New Year's Day.

The group of children had a great time, and under the guidance of Xiao Jin, everyone caught fish.

Li Duoyu also took Xiao Min to the beach and picked up a lot of shells.

And when the girls in this city arrived at the beach, they immediately took off their shiny leather shoes, went barefoot, and kept stepping on the waves on the beach with their skirts.

All smiles on their faces.

Li Duoyu also taught her how to catch dawn crabs with fish, and directly found a few branches, poked a few miscellaneous fish, and strung them on the branches.

Then the branches were planted on the beach with waves, and in less than 10 minutes, you could see a lot of golden crabs biting.

Xiao Min said excitedly: "There are so many beautiful crabs." โ€

Li Duoyu grabbed it directly, and caught four or five dawn crabs with one hand.

"Doesn't this crab bite?"

Little Fat Dun smiled: "This crab is very stupid, it doesn't bite, and I used to catch it and play with it." โ€

But when he learned from his uncle to catch crabs, his face turned pale instantly, and then he kept waving his right hand.

"It hurts, it hurts."

Li Xiaorong frowned and said, "Hurry up and release it into the water, the more you shake it, the harder it will clamp." โ€

Looking at the fingers that were caught red and bleeding slightly, Li Haoran was puzzled: "Uncle, why don't they catch you when you catch so many crabs." โ€

Li Duoyu quipped: "As long as you catch it from the top down, these crabs won't clip you." โ€

Xiao Min, who believed it, said: "Then, Uncle Duoyu, let me try it." โ€

Li Xiaorong hurriedly said: "Don't learn it, just your uncle's palm, which is as thick as a cutting board, it doesn't hurt at all when the crab clamps him." โ€

Li Duoyu smiled, Xiao Rong was really right, this crab did pinch him, but it didn't hurt much.

After all, compared to being caught by a pike crab, this crab is like tickling.

When he was a child, Li Duoyu also liked to catch this kind of crab, but it was not for eating, but for playing.

The dawn crab is called sand crab by the locals, this kind of crab has no meat shell and is hard, when I heard that there is paste, it is good to cook porridge, but Li Duoyu has never tried it, after all, the crab is too small, and the crab shell is very troublesome.

Happy times are always short-lived, and when Min leaves, she asks for Kim's name.

"My name is Jin Tianshun, today's day, smooth Shun."

Xiao Min grinned: "It's an interesting name, my name is Pan Xiaomin." โ€

Xiao Jin looked smiling: "Hello." โ€

Xiao Jin didn't let him have fantasies because of this contact, for him, a girl like Xiao Min was too far away from him.

In fact, he is more interested in fishing than falling in love, and he has always had a dream, that is, when he grows up and makes money, he will also buy a fishing boat like Brother Yu and go to various places to catch different fish.

And what I want to catch the most is the big tuna that Brother Yu once caught, as well as the giant grouper.

On the morning of the second day of junior high school.

The sister-in-law has already cleaned the room, and according to custom, she must go back to her parents' house on this day.

Li Duoyu patted his head, and then remembered that he had bought a camera in the Friendship Store, and hurriedly took it out and loaded it with film.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, the passenger ship hasn't come yet, don't worry, let's take a photo together."

The eldest brother Li Jinchuan was a little surprised: "Duoyu, you can also take pictures." โ€

"What are you kidding, if your brother and I had studied hard, we might have been photojournalists by now."

Zhou Xiaoying said with disgust: "You just brag, people who fail the math test." โ€

Little Fat Dun's eyes widened, and he suddenly said excitedly: "It turns out that my uncle is like me, and it seems that he doesn't have to be able to read to have a future." โ€

After Li Haoran finished saying this, many pairs of eyes stared at him in an instant, and Zhou Xiaoying sighed: "Haoran, next time you take the quiz, if you still fail, after class, come to my office, and I will make it up for you alone." โ€

Li Haoran:("โ–”โ–กโ–”)

Everyone gathered in the old house, and Li Duoyu commanded the standing position: "The children are squatting in front, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun are standing in the middle, Daddy and Auntie, you are standing in the middle of the second row."

But if Li Duoyu takes pictures, the family photo will be one less person, and there is no time to shoot this thing.

At this time, neighbor Lin Shanshan came over, and Li Duoyu hurriedly asked her to help take two photos.

Lin Shanshan looked confused: "I don't know how to use a camera." โ€

"It's very simple, you put your eyes on this little box, and you can see that there are dotted lines on all sides

Anyway, you're standing here and you see we're all in that dotted line, just press the shutter. โ€

After Lin Shanshan got the camera, she was under a lot of pressure, and it was the first time she took pictures of people, if she didn't take pictures well, I don't know if she would be disliked.

Li Duoyu said: "Ready, we will shout eggplant together, and when we shout, you will press the black button." โ€

Li Haoran asked, "Uncle, why do you call eggplant?" โ€

Li Duoyu said: "I don't know, when I take pictures outside, others ask me to call eggplant." โ€

Li Xiaorong said: "If a foreigner says it, it should not be eggplant, it may be cheese, as if when you say this word, your mouth will open slightly, and it looks like you are laughing." โ€

Zhou Xiaoying smiled: "I know this word, the noun is cheese, and the verb means to stop." โ€

Li Xiaorong was quite surprised: "When did you learn English?" โ€

"I learned it blindly."

"Then we can practice with each other, and recently our unit has forced us to learn English well."

"Okay, but my English is very poor."

"I'm not much better."

After Lin Shanshan took a group photo of them, Li Duoyu took another photo for his father and mother alone.

Until now, the two of them don't seem to have a group photo.

They sat on a bench, and their expressions were quite stiff, especially Lao Li, who was just like a stone carving.

A-Niang is no better, she looks very restrained and motionless, and the two of them don't have any smiles on their faces, and they look quite serious.

Seeing that none of them would laugh, Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Daddy, Xiaorong has good news to tell you, she has found a partner." โ€

After hearing this.

The two of them instantly showed expressions of surprise and surprise, and at this moment, Li Duoyu instantly pressed the shutter.

After Li Duoyu finished filming, Li Xiaorong came over directly and kicked his feet: "Don't talk nonsense, but Daddy and Auntie really believe it, you can change one out and give it to me." โ€

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "Yes, do you want to think about it, Defa is also a college student now." โ€

Li Xiaorong glared at him: "When he graduates, I can be his teacher." โ€

After taking a group photo, Li Duoyu took a separate photo of each family, and their brothers and sisters also stood together and took a separate photo with their parents.

By the way, I took a few photos of Lin Shanshan's family who helped, as well as their mother and son.

There are restrictions on film negatives in this era, and the Kodak film that Li Duoyu bought is almost about 30 copies.

Now there are about five left, and Li Duoyu directly left all the negatives to Xiaotutu.

After all the negatives have been filmed.

The sound of passenger ships entering the port sounded at the wharf, and the eldest brother Li Jinchuan said: "Duoyu, if the film has been filmed, I can help you take it to the city to wash the photos, it just so happens that I know the owner of a photo studio." โ€

"Yes."

Li Duoyu still wanted to get the money, but the eldest brother Li Jinchuan was angry on the spot: "Duoyu, are you looking down on me, although my salary is not high, I still have the money to wash a photo." โ€

On the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Although the fishermen have not yet gone out to fish, they have already started to work, mainly drying their nets and cleaning their boats.

It happened that the first and second days of the Lunar New Year were high tides, and the fishermen with boats hurriedly drove their boats to the side of the bad water beach.

Spend some money and hire a tractor to pull their fishing boat to the beach with one purpose in mind: to give the fishing boat a major maintenance.

The main thing is to remove the parasitic barnacles and mussels from the bottom of the boat.

Li Duoyu is no exception, the paint on his fishing boat is relatively "good", but in the face of rogue barnacles in the sea, there is still no way.

If not cleaned often, barnacles can still grow to the bottom of the fishing boat.

Once there are more barnacles, it will increase the weight of the fishing boat, which will not only affect the draft, but also reduce the speed and increase fuel consumption.

And it is possible to summon its good brother mussel to attach to the bottom of the ship, which can be said to be one of the most hated sea creatures of the ship boss.

Li Duoyu is no exception, plus the fishing boats, he has a total of three fishing boats, all of which were driven to the beach for major maintenance on this day.

Overall, his fishing boat was clean on the bottom because of the poison on the bottom, and there weren't many barnacles.

But the two wooden sampans were a bit miserable, and the usage rate was not as high as that of the fishing boats.

The barnacles on the bottom of the boat have grown several layers, and they all grow old, so it's no wonder that I don't feel much strength to drive a boat lately.

Fishermen often remove the diesel engine before carrying out major maintenance on their fishing boats.

Then a dozen people worked together to turn the fishing boat to about 60 degrees, and then used wooden sticks to hold it up.

In their case, fishing boats must not be reversed, and for them, this is a very unlucky thing.

If someone finds out that your fishing boat has been upside down, maybe no one will want to get on your fishing boat.

The best way to shovel barnacles is a flat-bottomed shovel, or the one that shovels charcoal at home.

But shoveling barnacles is a technical job, if the force is too light, it can't be shoveled down at all, if it's too heavy, it can't be pushed, and a bad one may damage the hull.

It is necessary to use ingenuity, as for how to use a clever method, Li Duoyu doesn't know how to explain it, anyway, practice makes perfect, and if you shovel more, you will naturally know how to shovel.

The fishing boat of the third uncle and the uncle took advantage of the tide to dock the fishing boat to a position quite in front.

And a lot of large wooden piers with inclined planes were used to hold up the entire trawler.

The crew's eldest uncle, second uncle, and Chen Liang were all there to help shovel barnacles.

Li Duoyu walked over and saw that the bottoms of these two trawlers were even more exaggerated than his two sampans, and the largest barnacles were actually the size of fists.

Uncle Zhuang set up a pot and threw those big barnacles into the big iron pot: "Many fish, let's eat them later, these barnacles at the bottom of the boat are very big." โ€

"Yes."

Li Duoyu glanced at the bottom of the third uncle's ship, as if in this era, the bottom paint of domestic fishing boats is still ordinary ship paint, and it has not yet begun to apply toxic ship paint.

In fact, whether the bottom of the boat is poisonous or not can generally be identified by color.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat, the bottom color of the boat is red, and there is a high probability that it is poisonous.

Because the most effective way to prevent barnacles from adsorbing are cuprous oxide and mercury oxide.

And they are red, and as long as these two substances are mixed into the ship's paint, the bottom color of the boat will naturally become red.

So the barnacles that were shoveled down from the fishing boat were not edible.

When shoveling barnacles, the third uncle's face was not very good-looking, and he was too busy to clean the bottom of the boat recently.

It was found that there were several holes in the bottom of the boat, which was even more annoying than barnacles, and it was very likely to cause shipwrecks and water leaks.

The most important thing is that it is very troublesome to repair, the third uncle directly takes an iron rod, mashes the maggots of the ship, and after cleaning it up, it has to be repaired with wood and glue.

There are so many of them that if they are discovered by the new owner who bought the boat, they will inevitably have to bargain, but fortunately there are not many holes, otherwise he would not dare to sell them like this.

After cleaning up the barnacles.

Li Duoyu ate barnacles with everyone, and the taste of this thing was not the same as the taste of "turtle feet".

Fresh with a hint of crab roe.

It's still very fragrant, but this fishy smell is probably unacceptable to mainlanders.

The third uncle and uncle have already found a buyer for their two trawlers, including the trawls above, all of which have been sold, and the two boats together have been sold for about 30,000 yuan.

Once the barnacles are cleaned and the boat is painted again, the buyer can come and drive the boat away.

Because the steel fishing boat that the long-tail shipbuilder made for them was about to be launched for sea trials.

In this era, it is not so simple to deliver a ship, especially this kind of big ship, the core personnel on board must go to Ludao Aquatic Technical School for training and learning, that is, the school where Li Duoyu taught.

It takes about a month or two of training to master the complete sailing skills, and after passing the exam, this will allow you to drive the big ship away.

After Li Duoyu cleaned the barnacles of the fishing boat and repainted them, Chen Wenchao had already prepared the fine nets for fishing eel fry, and planned to start fishing for eel fry.

But he estimated that with his and Qingguang's words, he would definitely not be able to catch 200,000 eel fry in half a month.

If you want to complete the task assigned by Brother Yu, you can only spend money to collect it, but he is not very clear about the pricing.

Chen Wenchao asked: "Brother Yu, eel fry, what price is appropriate?" โ€

Li Duoyu thought about it, eel fry are different from clovefish, they are not concentrated, and they are much more difficult to catch than cloves.

Although there are some eel fry on Dantan Island, they belong to those who are lost, and the real place is where there are many estuaries.

If the boat sails over, it will cost it, and Li Duoyu wanted to buy it by two, but thinking about it, the eel fry is really too light.

Three or four tails are only one gram, and one catty will cost at least fifteen hundred, and Li Duoyu has already asked, the purchase price of the second sister-in-law is one penny per tail, about fifteen yuan per catty, and it is still acceptable to think about it.

"Let's divide the tail." (End of chapter)
