In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 27 Melting Ice (seeking investment pursuit)

After Li Yaoguo sat down, Zhou Xiaoying quickly brought him a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Little Fatty put a fish ball into his bowl: "Father, try it, this fish ball is made by my uncle, it's very delicious."

Seeing the second child sitting down, Chen Huiying quickly opened the bottle of sorghum wine and poured them each a glass of wine.

"You haven't eaten together for a long time, do you want to drink first?"

Li Yaoguo raised the small wine glass in front of him, and drank the sorghum wine inside: "Let me toast first."

Li Duoyu also had a drink.

Lao Li snorted coldly: "One cup is not enough, three cups are enough."

After hearing this, more than half of the gloom on Chen Huiying's face dissipated. Since Lao Li is willing to pick a word, there is hope for the father and son to reconcile today.

Li Yaoguo drank three cups in a row, and his face turned red to the neck. It may be because of drinking too much alcohol. Li Yaoguo, who didn't talk much on weekdays, also talked more.

"I've already taken care of things like fish and wood for you."

Li Duoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Then thank you, brother."

Li Yaoguo burped.

"This casuarina was originally used to prevent wind and fix sand. The team leader and the secretary originally refused. Seeing that they refused to approve it, I took the newspaper that took a photo with the leader and threw it on their table. Guess what?"

"You got into a fight with them?"

Li Duoyu was a little surprised, the second brother didn't look like the kind of person who would throw tables with the people above him.

Li Yaoguo snorted coldly:

"I threw the newspaper there and told them some of the latest policies, and the grandsons let go on the spot. The casuarinas, which used to cost five yuan per tree, now, in response to reform and innovation, the brigade only sells you four yuan."

"This group photo is really useful."

"That's because you don't understand its value. It's not an exaggeration to say that if you take this group photo to have dinner with the commune's president, he will have to clink glasses with you several times."

In Li Duoyu's previous life, he never understood why so many people always like to take photos with leaders, and now he finally understands.

Useless for ordinary people.

But in another circle the thief works!

After drinking a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach, Li Yaoguo, who had a burning stomach, quickly ate a few fish balls and found that his son was right, the taste was really good.

"By the way, there are other reasons why the brigade sold you cheaply. You also know the recent situation. Everyone has gone to take the goods, and the team can't call people anymore, so you have to cut down this tree yourself."

Li Duoyu never thought that the people in the brigade would help him cut down trees. Of course, it would be best if they helped him, and it was expected if they didn't.

"No problem, I'll cut down the tree myself. By the way, I might have to trouble my second brother for one thing. When cutting down the tree, can the team lend us some neat tools."

"Small matter, I can approve this directly for you."

Li Duoyu vaguely remembered.

The production brigade was announced to be disbanded in 1984, and Dandan Island was almost disbanded before the country announced it because of the goods.

After all, farmers are different from urban residents in that they do not have food stamps such as food stamps and meat stamps.

You have to grow what you want to eat on a normal day.If you want to eat meat, you have to find a way to raise it yourself, and Dandan Island is not suitable for growing rice at all.

If you want to eat white rice, you have to pick up sweet potatoes and dried fish to sell in the town, or find those who resell food stamps to exchange.

In fact, even if the fishery production team on Dantan Island caught a lot of fish, in the era when tickets were used, everyone's life was not very good.

In the past few years, everyone has not only money, but also various food and meat tickets. Naturally, no one wants to stay in the team to work, and everyone leaves the team to work alone.

It can be said like this.

Now the production brigade of Dandan Island is in name only. To put it in the most common terms, they still have rights in their hands, but no one cares about them.

Seeing that the two brothers were reconciled as before, Chen Huiying poured them another glass of wine: "You brothers, don't bother talking about things, and have a drink with your father."

The two brothers, after hearing this, quickly toasted their father with a glass of wine, and immediately after that, the three of them started wine fists.

"Brothers are good, five chiefs."

"You lose, drink."

Lao Li, who drank several sips, stared: "Who is your brother, I am your father."

Li Duoyu grinned and said:
"Then call next time, Daddy is good, Samsung photo."

"Forget it, it sounds awkward, it's better to be brothers."

"Hahaha"

While they were drinking and punching, Little Fatty was concentrating on drying the seafood. After eating two swimming crabs, he ate the pen holder, and tore off the shell to reveal the white and tender meat.

Bite and suck.

Fragrant, tender and sweet.

"Uncle, this stuff is really delicious, but there is too little meat."

Li Duoyu touched his head: "There is a lot of meat, and if you eat too much, you won't find it delicious."

The chubby little head thought for a long time: "It seems to be true. I used to like eating sweet potatoes, but now I am afraid of sweet potatoes."

Zhou Xiaoying was afraid of being overjoyed, so she only ate some of everything. After eating a bowl of fish balls, she only ate some of the rest of the seafood, and she didn't dare to eat too much.

See their house so lively.

Uncle Hu and Mrs. Wang who lived next door were envious when they saw it.

Since this period of time, Li Duoyu's family seems to be very happy every day since Li Duoyu was rehabilitated, but it is obvious that Lao Li a few days ago would rather work until seven or eight o'clock than come back.

Uncle Hu said enviously:

"Old Li, your luck is starting to improve."

His wife left early, and usually cooks and eats by himself, and the children in the family are all selling Balang fish outside, so they get together less and leave more.

The second elder brother Li Yaoguo, who rarely drinks alcohol, can't beat them at all with wine punches.

Li Yaoguo's face was flushed red:

"No, let me rest first."

Lao Li, who was also blushing, scolded: "It's fine to be a softie on weekdays, but you can't even drink alcohol."

I heard Lao Li call him a softie.

Li Yaoguo's eyes turned red instantly.

"I've done something wrong in the past few years, but you can't keep blaming me like this. Who would have thought that big brother is so impatient, he can leave as soon as he says it."

"You guys have been brothers for so many years, it's not like you don't know that Qingguo has a quick temper."

Hearing this, Li Yaoguo was silent for a long time.

"Father, then I'll find a chance to apologize to Big Brother."

See the two finally talk about it.

Li Duoyu went to the kitchen, put the processed Xishi tongues into the chicken soup and boiled them for half a minute, then took them out and put them in a basin.

He took a sip first, and found that the taste was not worse than the ones made by his later generations. I don't know if it was because of the ingredients, but it was even more delicious.

"This is delicious, drink it while it's hot." After Li Duoyu brought out the soup, he was the first to serve Zhou Xiaoying a bowl this time.

"You can eat more of this."

Zhou Xiaoying thought it was just an ordinary bowl of sea clam soup, but when the soup slipped into her mouth, she couldn't help swallowing. She used to think that pork rib soup stewed with wax gourd was the best.

But now compared with this bowl of soup, it is really far behind. As a primary school Chinese teacher, she doesn't know how to describe it.

In short, it is very fresh and fragrant.

She ate the clam meat again, and found that it was much more delicious than other clams. It was tender and crunchy to the bite, and the taste was very delicate.

"Is the soup delicious?" Li Duoyu asked.

Zhou Xiaoying nodded like a little chicken, and asked, "What's the name of your dish?"

Li Duoyu said stinkingly:

"My dish is called boiled sea mussels in chicken soup. From now on, it will be my Chef Li's signature dish."

The others looked at each other, thinking that the couple was singing the oboe, but they also filled a bowl of soup and drank it.

It turned out that the soup tasted better than they had imagined. It should be the best soup they have ever had in their lives.

After Lao Li finished drinking, he looked serious: "Many fish, why don't you stop raising kelp and go to the city to be a chef, maybe you can cook for the leader."

"I think so too." The second brother echoed.

Tonight, Lao Li's family was very happy and drinking to their heart's content, but only one was tossing and turning in bed.

Zhu Xiuhua, who hadn't eaten dinner, heard them laughing so happily that she almost gritted her teeth in anger, but recently the fourth child is not very easy to provoke, so she dare not go out.

And at this moment, a little head poked in, holding a bowl of fish balls in his hand:
"Mom, come and eat fish balls. I secretly saved a bowl for you. They don't know."

Zhu Xiuhua, who was lying on the bed, hummed:

"I won't eat any good things your uncle can do."

"It's really delicious, Mom, if you don't eat it, then I will eat it."

Seeing that Li Haoran really wanted to eat it, Zhu Xiuhua hurriedly said:
"You are so fat, you still know how to eat all day long, bring it to me."

Xiao Pangdun smiled happily, and put the fishball beside the bed: "Mom, it's very hot, eat carefully."

Zhu Xiuhua, who ate several fish balls and even drank the soup, asked:
"Hao Ran, apart from eating fish balls and crabs, did you also drink a delicious soup?"

"You said that chicken soup with clams, Mom, I really didn't lie to you, it's really super delicious. I've never had such delicious chicken soup since I was a child."

"Is there any left?"

"No more, there are only a few clams in total, one bowl per person will be gone."
