Zhao Dahai hurriedly finished his dinner and took a few dried cuttlefish as big as the palm of his hand. This was the last time Zhong Shizhu caught it and divided it into a box for himself. He sold some and left some to dry. For people in the seaside fishing village, this is the best.

One of the snacks.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, used the tongs to peel off the layer of ash on the inside of the stove, revealing the red charcoal. He blew lightly and it lit up.

Zhao Dahai took two wooden sticks and put them in. He set up a shelf on the fire charcoal and placed two palm-sized dried cuttlefish on it. The charcoal fire slowly roasted it, and slowly a fragrance wafted out. I couldn't help but swallow it.

I took a sip of saliva and took it out for five or six minutes to look at it. One side was already grilled. I turned it over and put the other side on the charcoal fire. After waiting for another five or six minutes, I took it out and looked at it carefully. There was something there.

It was browned a little, and I gently broke it off with my hands. It was a little crispy, but a little tough, just right. I put it on a clean plate and let it dry for half an hour before putting it in a bag.

Zhao Dahai talked to his grandma Zhong Cuihua, and took Xiao Naihei out on a tricycle. He rushed to the entrance of Dashi Village and found a place to park the car. He immediately went to the remote place where he and Ding Xiaoxiang had agreed to meet. He could not stay any longer.

At the entrance of the village, you don't have to meet familiar people like you did when you met Ding Lihua last time.

Yang Qinjia.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already half past eight.

"gone!"

"Remember to cover me when my mother asks!"

Ding Xiaoxiang said something to Yang Qin, walked out of Yang Qin's house, looked left and right and saw no one, walked a few steps forward, got into a small alley, avoided places where she could meet people, and ran out

At the entrance of the village, I turned a corner and entered a small path. After a while, I appeared in a small open space in the middle of the forest. Zhao Dahai was already waiting, and Xiao Naihei rushed over immediately.

"Yo!"

"Why do you grow taller every time I see you?"

…

“I really eat well and sleep well!”

…

"If this continues, it will grow like a calf!"

…

Ding Xiaoxiang gently patted Xiao Naihei's forehead, then gently pulled Xiao Naihei's erect ears, and gestured while standing, and indeed she had grown a lot taller.

Ding Xiaoxiang tried it but couldn't hold it up.

Zhao Dahai waited for Ding Xiaoxiang and Xiao Naihei to play for a while and then came over.

"Give!"

Zhao Dahai took out the dried cuttlefish he had baked.

"ah?"

"What is it? Why does it smell so good?"

Ding Xiaoxiang smelled a very familiar fragrance, but couldn't remember what it was. It was so fragrant that she couldn't help but secretly swallowed a sip of saliva, took the bag and opened it.

"ah?"

“Is the grilled cuttlefish dried?!”

"How do you know this is my favorite food?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was surprised and happy. She didn't expect that Zhao Dahai would bring her favorite food.

“My house gets a lot of sun!”

"I'll bake it for you next time and bring it over!"

Zhao Dahai really didn't know that Ding Xiaoxiang liked to eat grilled dried cuttlefish. He just thought that all the children who grew up in the fishing village didn't like to eat this food, but he didn't expect to hit the mark.

"Uh huh huh!"

"This is my favorite!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was not polite, she tore open the baked dried cuttlefish and put it in her mouth to eat.

The difference between dried cuttlefish and dried squid is that dried cuttlefish is thicker. If it is roasted well, it will be torn apart piece by piece. It is very delicious and durable. It has a burnt aroma when you first eat it, but the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes.

"correct!"

"What have you been doing these days?!"

While eating dried cuttlefish, Ding Xiaoxiang asked Zhao Dahai what he had done in the past few days. From time to time, he tore off a little bit and put it in the mouth of Xiao Nai Hei next to him.

"Didn't you say that you can't go to sea before and after the typhoon?"

"In the days just after the typhoon, I was resting at home and tidying up the vegetable garden. After the typhoon knocked it all down, I planted it again."

…

"It was my first time to go to sea the day before yesterday."

"Release the hook!"

"I found a place to catch giant eels!"

“I caught more than two hundred kilograms!”

…

"Today I took a person out to sea for fishing. It's like charging a boat fee."

“There were no fish anywhere else, so I went to the Fish Steak, and unexpectedly there happened to be a school of kingfish.”

"The two of us caught more than 200 kilograms of kingfish in total."

…

Zhao Dahai explained in detail what he had done these days.

"ah?"

"Is it a large eel weighing more than two hundred pounds?"

"Did you sell it to Liu Gang? Why haven't you heard about this?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very surprised. She had been delivering fish, shrimps and crabs to Liu Gang's ninth floor every day for the past two days, but she didn't see Zhao Dahai, and she didn't even hear that he had collected large white eels.

"Hey!"

"We can't let Liu Gang know about this!"

"The man I just mentioned who goes fishing is named Wu Weimin. He happens to be the owner of a private restaurant. He came to me to fish, and he bought it immediately after he met him!"

"The small one weighs one or two kilograms, and the big one weighs five or six kilograms. The currency is two hundred and twenty yuan per kilogram!"

Zhao Dahai reminded Ding Xiaoxiang not to let this matter slip.

"Hee hee hee!"

"If Liu Gang knew you sold it to someone else, he would probably be very anxious."

Ding Xiaoxiang was happy. Big white eel is a top-quality seafood, and Liu Gang's restaurant must be a coveted one. If no one cuts it off, it will belong to Liu Gang.

"How did you catch so many fish on the fish raft?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was not surprised that Zhao Dahai was able to catch the giant eel with a fishing rod, but it was really difficult to catch so many kingfish on the fishing rod.

"What a coincidence! The fish steak boss probably won't welcome me there anymore."

Zhao Dahai made a joke. If Zhang Defei sees him next time, he will definitely feel a little bit in his heart.

"ah?"

"Why do you say that?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very curious.

Zhao Dahai said that he went there several times and caught a lot of fish every time. Although these fish were all in the sea and it was his own ability to catch them, Zhang Defei felt uncomfortable at all times. The key was himself.

I caught too much and made too much money.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought that this was really the case. If she saw other people catching so many fish on her fish raft and making so much money, she would not feel particularly comfortable.

"correct!"

"Would you like to eat dried cuttlefish?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pulled off a small piece of dried cuttlefish and put it in her mouth. She suddenly remembered that she was just eating without asking Zhao Dahai, but as soon as she said the words, she lowered her head and saw that her hands were empty. That was the last piece.

Zhao Dahai shook his head, not saying that he didn't like to eat it.

"Why!"

"It's getting late, I have to go back, otherwise my mother will be looking for me!"

Ding Xiaoxiang blushed slightly, stood up, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Dahai watched Ding Xiaoxiang run further and further out of sight, and waited for a while before leaving with Xiao Naihei.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, his grandma Zhong Cuihua was already sleeping. As soon as Xiao Naihei entered the courtyard door, he immediately ran to grandma Zhong Cuihua's room.

Zhao Dahai went back to his room and lay on the bed. Tonight was the first time that he and Ding Xiaoxiang had a serious chat.
