1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 90 Thank you at the door (please follow up)

Since he was going to entertain his relatives, Li Duoyu naturally took out the best first-class dishes from this batch of kelp.

 After soaking.

 Use scissors to cut into rectangular pieces, and then make soup with the pig spine and tube bones.

 Actually, Li Duoyu has always had a doubt that many foods will taste better after being dried in the sun.

 Kelp, abalone, and mushrooms. They all seem to be like this.

 In addition to making kelp soup.

Li Duoyu even went to the kelp field and cut two fresh kelps.

　　After blanching in a hot pot, the brown kelp instantly turned bright green. After trimming off the bad edges of the kelp, Li Duoyu folded the kelp in half and began to cut it into shreds.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　¢

The relatives present were dumbfounded when they saw Li Duoyu's knife skills, and they all pulled up their sleeves. The third aunt who was going to help cut vegetables quickly put down her sleeves when she saw that Duoyu's knife skills were better than hers.

The cousins-in-law, after seeing it, were all envious, shook their heads and sighed.

“Xiaoying’s teachings are better, unlike the elders in our family who can’t even cut vegetables.”

“My guy, if you don’t cook for him, he will starve to death for you.”

And when those cousins ​​saw that Li Duoyu had become so good, their foreheads were covered with black lines:

 “There are many fish, you can keep some of them.”

“Yes, don’t break away from us **** men. Later we will be forced to cook, and that will be harmful.”

The third aunt couldn't help but add: "You don't know how to cook, but you can wash the dishes."

 After hearing this, the faces of the cousins ​​all turned dark. They felt that cooking was easier than washing dishes.

The cousins-in-law smiled happily.

“Yes, yes, it would be much easier if someone washes the dishes.”

The group of children from the uncle's family, as well as Li Haoran, each held a bowl and stood by the large iron pot that was boiling kelp tube bone soup.

 The fragrant kelp is mixed with the fragrance of the tube bone. The two smells are mixed together. As the steam floats out, the mouths of the greedy children are watering.

 And this strong aroma.

 It was something they had never smelled before.

 Hiff, very fragrant.

Little chubby Li Haoran drooled on the spot. While wiping his mouth, he asked his grandma: "Can I eat it?"

 “What’s the rush? It’ll be a while.”

 Seeing these greedy children hanging around the big iron pot, Chen Huiying, who was not good at cooking, had to drive them out.

"You children, please sit at the same table first. When the soup is ready, I will give it to you to drink first."

"okay."

 After hearing this, a group of children sat at a table outside obediently.

 These days, Chen Dongqing, in addition to helping to look after the kelp fields, is also constantly testing various data of the kelp fields.

 Including temperature and nutrients of sea water.

 Write all the growth conditions at each stage into reports.

Chen Dongqing feels that this kelp farming will definitely be successful, and he feels that this report will be of great value after it is written.

 Except for breeding reports.

He also summarized the reasons why Chen Atai and Wang Dapao failed in kelp farming, writing thousands of words eloquently.

“Since fishermen have not yet switched from rough farming to sophisticated farming, there is negligence and a non-serious attitude.

Kelp is a very sensitive algae that has extremely high requirements on temperature, salinity, and sea area for growth. In addition, there is the problem of raising kelp from the north to the south. Before fishermen raise kelp, it is best to provide corresponding training and explanations. "

 After writing the report.

As soon as Chen Dongqing went out, he saw Li Duoyu cutting kelp shreds and was fragrant by the kelp soup.

 Stayed here for a few days.

Chen Dongqing is no longer shocked by the fact that Li Duoyu can cook, even though Li Duoyu is good at knife skills. He stopped making a fuss.

 Because I’m used to it.

 Seeing a chopping board with kelp shreds, Chen Dongqing picked up a few kelp shreds from the chopping board and put them in his mouth without washing his hands.

 After taking a few bites, he immediately felt something was wrong. The kelp he was eating seemed to be very tender.

 The taste is obviously different from the kelp he used to eat when he was studying in the north.

 The skin of kelp is thinner.

 Chillier and more chewy.

 It doesn’t taste like scum.

 This variety of summer seedling was developed by Chen Dongqing, but he himself didn’t know that the kelp he developed had such a big taste difference.

Seeing Chen Dongqing eating it directly with his hands, Li Duoyu said with disdain: "Don't worry, it will be delicious after dipping it in the seasonings and stirring it."

Chen Dongqing didn't go in at all. He took several mouthfuls of kelp shreds in a row, relaxed his frown, and ran back to the house excitedly.

 Picked up the hero pen, sucked some ink and wrote:

 Lianjiang summer variety No. 2.

 The skin is thin and the taste is crispy. It is better than other varieties currently on the market and is worth promoting and planting.

While the Li family’s relatives were getting together, several villagers came over carrying two baskets of things, tied with red paper.

 These villagers are the same ones Li Duoyu rescued a few days ago.

 After seeing them.

 Lao Li hurried up to meet him and said to the man carrying the pole: "Old Zeng, you came just in time. Duoyu is making seaweed soup. Let's have a bowl together."

The villager named Lao Zeng hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "What a shame, we came here specifically to thank Duoyu. If it hadn't been for him that day, we would probably all be dead."

After speaking, Lao Zeng opened the dustpan covering the basket, revealing two baskets full of dried razor clams, pig's feet, noodles, dried prawns, dried fish, a basket full of eggs, and two Chinese seeds.

There is an unwritten rule here on Dandan Island. After being rescued, you must send pig's trotters and noodles to the rescuer as a way to thank the rescuer for saving your life.

 These people felt that it was too stingy to only give them pork trotters and noodles, so they pooled their money to buy some dry goods, tobacco and alcohol.

 After seeing so many great gifts, Lao Li frowned instantly and said slightly seriously: "Old Zeng, what are you doing? There is no need for people in our village to be so polite."

Li Duoyu was also very surprised when he saw these people giving so many things. In fact, he saved them that day by the way. He mainly wanted to save Chen Dongqing.

 “Lao Li, just accept it as soon as possible.”

"According to what you said, you saved me when I was in the fishing team. Do I have to give you a copy?"

“That’s different. If Duoyu and Xiaochao hadn’t rushed to save us that day, our family of six would probably have been destroyed.”

“We also heard that day that except for the many fish at the pier, no one dared to go out to sea to rescue us.”

"Old Li, you have to accept this gift, otherwise we won't be able to behave well in the future."

"Yes, Lao Li, just accept it. It's not a very valuable thing."

“That’s right, we collected these together, and everyone shared it equally. It’s not much.”

Seeing them pushing and shoving, Li Duoyu quickly ran away. He was most afraid of such polite scenes in his life.

 If you accept the gift too readily, you won’t feel good about it. You have to push it around like this and finally accept it so that everyone won’t feel awkward.

 Finally, push and push.

After the other party put down the basket and heavy gifts, he left directly.

Lao Li felt sorry for himself, so he picked up several loads of dried kelp, put them in baskets, and then returned the baskets to others.

 Lao Li is happy.

 But Li Duoyu was heartbroken.

He wanted to complain to Lao Li: Dad, your son’s dried kelp is much more expensive than the dried goods they send.
