Smoke lingers in the sea cargo processing room on Tianya Island.

The stove under the two iron pots was filled with flames, and hot water vapor rose up like a storm and then crawled out through the window.

This is a woman on the island who is working on sea cucumbers.

Sea cucumbers are good things, ranking first among the eight seafood treasures, and are the highlight of the banquet.

They are slender and round, with thorns, and have a sauce-brown appearance. They don’t look very good, but they are rich in nutrients and easy to absorb, and are particularly popular in the market.

Fuhai produces a variety of seafood, shallow sea fish, deep sea fish, prawns, crabs, conchs, clams, scallops, mussels, and even jellyfish kelp.

These seafood can be eaten simply after being steamed and cooked, and some can even be eaten raw - there is an old saying in the local area that says, "Eat crabs and shrimps alive, and fall into the sea and will not be damaged."

But sea cucumbers are not good. They are bitter, salty and very strong when they are just released from water. They are like salt-grained raw cowhide, which is unpalatable and cannot be chewed.

To eat sea cucumbers, you must be processed, dried and sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then they can become the most popular seafood treasure in the market.

Xiufang, Fengya and other women were dealing with sea cucumbers.

These sea cucumbers were sent back at noon. The sea cucumbers that came out of the water should not be stored for a long time, otherwise they would melt and lose their nutrition and lose their value.

To deal with sea cucumbers, you must first clean the stomach and intestines and then put them in a pot with overheated water.

Both stoves were burning hot water, some women burned fire, some women cleaned sea cucumbers and some women entrapped water.

They chat while working.

Feng Ya said casually: "Fang, what big thing did you hear from the radio after following the branch secretary?"

Xiufang is cleaning the intestines of sea cucumbers.

She grabbed a round, black and hard sea cucumber and pressed it on the chopping board, picked up a knife and stabbed it from its butt, and with the sound of "guzzling", the black sea cucumber intestines fell out.

The intestines are filled with mud and sand, and they have no value.

She threw it away and said: "The Seventh Supreme People's Congress was held in the North Goryeo, and *** was re-elected as their people's leader."

"What are you doing when talking about foreign affairs? Tell us about our domestic affairs." Huang Xiaohua, who was burning fire, wiped her sweat and said.

Xiufang handed the sea cucumber to Feng Ya and said, "There is something very fresh in China. Many vegetable fields called plastic greenhouses have been built in Shandong Province. Vegetables can grow in winter and spring. Now their local city has eaten leeks, rapeseed, eggplant, chili peppers, and fresh green onions."

Huang Xiaohua shook her head in disbelief: "How can there be rapeseed, eggplant and pepper now? I don't believe it. It's so cold in winter, and Shandong Province is even colder than here. We can't grow vegetables here, where can it grow?"

Xiufang argued with her: "Central Radio News, can this be fake?"

A woman who called Lai Feng said, "Is there anything related to us? We can't control the outside world."

Xiufang said: "There are, and this news is related to our current work."

"Last night, I heard an expert introduce sea cucumbers and said that this thing is good. Its temperament is better than ginseng. It can replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body, nourish yin and yang, especially suitable for older people."

"Ages older people can not only prolong their life, but also rejuvenate their children!"

Huang Xiaohua smiled: "Really, fake? Rejuvenation? Did the birthday monk eat sea cucumbers?"

Xiufang nodded: "It's possible that our team will give the birthday boy a sea cucumber for two days. Anyway, sea cucumbers are very expensive now."

"It must be precious," Feng Ya said, "Now, from the Great Hall of the People to treat foreign guests to the guests to the cadres, you must have sea cucumbers. If you don't have sea cucumbers, you will be embarrassed."

Xiufang said: "Yes, now the radio also says that there is something in society called sea cucumber magic. If you want to build relationships and go through the back door, you have to have sea cucumbers. Things that cannot be done can be done with the compatibility of sea cucumbers - this is not a good thing, the branch secretary scolded me after hearing this."

Others laughed: "The branch secretary scolded me too?"

Feng Ya said, "I heard from my man that the dry sea cucumbers in the supply and marketing cooperative now cost 60 or 70 yuan per kilogram. If you go to the black market, it will be even more expensive, at least 100 yuan!"

"Really?" Huang Xiaohua was shocked, "A pound of sea cucumber costs one hundred yuan? My mother!"

Someone muttered unhappily: "Then why does the purchaser only pay twenty yuan per pound of sea cucumber?"

Xiufang said: "To support national construction, we farmers have assigned purchase tasks, which is very good..."

Just now!

A loud voice suddenly came into the processing room: "Hey hey! Hey hey! Ahey!"

"Please note, all members, please pay attention! This is the brigade committee member, ahem, I am cough, well, I am Wang Xianghong!"

"I'll inform you about something here, well, I'll inform you about something. Today, the team brought two baskets of radishes, and after work, each family arranged a lesbian to come and get the radishes!"

"Ahem, repeat, I'll repeat..."

Listening to these words, all the women in the room were stunned.

Xiufang subconsciously asked, "This is my father-in-law, this is the voice of the branch secretary! Why is it so loud? Where can he speak to us?"

Feng Ya shouted, "It's a big trumpet! This is a big trumpet talking! When the troops were still there, they had big trumpets, and every time the leader spoke, it was like this! I must have heard it right!"

"But where did the big speakers come from in our team? That's an electric speaker!" Huang Xiaohua also hurriedly said, "The army used to have generators, but we didn't!"

The women went out to see.

Wang Xianghong's voice was still echoing on Tianya Island:

"I'll inform you about something here. Today, the team brought two baskets of radishes. After work, each family arranged a lesbian to come and get the radishes!"

It’s clearer to listen to the sound outside the door.

When the women saw other workers coming out, they were all looking towards the top of the mountain in disbelief.

Feng Ya said suddenly: "Oh, there are sea cucumbers in the pot! Go and fish it out, let's go to the brigade committee to see what's going on!"

"But the document has not yet struck the work bell." Huang Xiaohua said worriedly, "If we stop working for no reason, we will definitely criticize us if the branch secretary knows. Maybe we will complain to the team leader."

Feng Ya said, "If he wants to do whatever he wants, I will go to the brigade committee to see what's going on, otherwise I will be so stumbled in my heart that I can't do my job!"

The other women nodded and finally decided to go to the brigade committee together.

They took the sea cucumbers out of the pot and put them in a salt tank to brine, which was to remove moisture.

Covering the salt tank, they hurried out and took a detour to the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, I found several teams of women, and the elderly were walking in front. It turned out that everyone was going to the brigade committee.

In this way, Feng Ya and others felt more at ease. They joined the women of other workers to go to the top of the mountain and found that the entrance of the brigade committee was surrounded by a group of children and elderly people.

Wang Yi knew that once the electricity was on the island would definitely cause a sensation, but he didn't expect that just a loudspeaker would start to alarm everyone!

The big trumpet was hung on the wooden pole supporting the large copper bell with a rope.

Wang Dongmei had a cloth stick in her ears and held the trumpet head.

This was a task arranged by Wang Xianghong. He was anxious to try out the electric speaker, but to be able to transmit sound perfectly to the entire island, it needed a suitable angle, so he asked Wang Dongmei to manually adjust the angle.

When Wang Yi saw this scene, he remembered the scene when he saw some people erecting TV antennas on the roof when he was a child.

However, TV was already very popular at that time, and no one would watch such things.

It is different at this time. Children, elderly and women, and people staying on the island are coming in a constant stream, and after the arrival, they ask questions:

"Secretary, what's wrong with this speaker?"

"Where did the electric speaker come from here? Where did the electric sound come from?"

"Oh, big speaker, branch secretary, please let me shout, let me see if my voice can spread throughout our island like you?"

"Get out, kid, go there, don't join in the fun!"

Wang Xianghong looked majesticly at the member with a surprised face with his hands behind his back.

He felt very proud, but his face was filled with a light expression: "Okay, okay, don't talk about children, look at what you are doing one by one? It would be fine if the old man didn't work, but what are the female members doing?"

"There are children leaving too. You are in labor class. Teacher Wang, don't care?"

Wang Yi said: "Aren't I responsible for stepping on the feet and generating electricity?"

"Put your feet and pedals to generate electricity? What does this mean?" Feng Ya asked anxiously.

Wang Yi smiled and said, "That's right, aunt, the branch secretary left the relationship with Manager Xu of the supply and marketing company, and then applied for an electric speaker and a human power generator to our team..."

"Really or not?" Before he could finish his words, everyone started yelling:

"Human power generator? Is it a hand-cranked one? There is one on Water Splash Island. I used to show off to us!"

"We have generators too? We have electricity too?"

"I saw the light bulb! A box of light bulbs also read the words - use electricity safely to ensure personal safety; save electricity, and support industrial and agricultural production!"

The last sentence aroused more people's cheers: "Light bulb? Are we going to use light bulbs on the island?"

"And it's a hand-crank generator. It doesn't cost money to burn oil. You can just take turns to generate electricity!"

"Where is that light bulb hanging? Branch Secretary, Teacher Wang, when will the light bulb be installed?"

Wang Xianghong pressed down his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

But the people in the team were too excited, but the people at the sea were loud because they wanted to talk to the storm. This made the scene so messy.

Seeing this, he waved to Wang Yi: "Continue to generate electricity."

Then he went into the room and sat down to the microphone on the desk and said, "Hey, hey, hey, please be quiet, all members, please be quiet!"

"We do have generators on our island now, and we need to install light bulbs. However, our generator is too small to support many light bulbs, so we cannot install light bulbs for every household for the time being..."

The birthday boy came out and asked, "What male donkey is too small? Then can we feed more fodder to make it grow faster? Otherwise, feed it some soybean meal, and the donkey eats soybean meal and grows faster!"
