Chapter 40 Bran Flour Dumplings

More than ten yuan, Tong Yuanhang remembered that he only made so much last time.

The next day he went to the market and bought five taels of meat, and the family ate deliciously.

Originally, his second and third brothers wanted to come over and fish with them today to make some money, but Tong Yuanhang came over rashly and was afraid that Zhang Ze would have objections, so he planned to mention it first and then see the situation.

It would be better if he could earn more, but he was afraid that the buyer would not want so much.

It's just that Zhang Ze just said that he wanted to increase the capture rate, which made him think it was an opportunity.

Lifting the about three kilograms of grouper in his hand and putting it into the fish guard, Tong Yuanhang asked tentatively: "Aze, there seems to be more groupers in this fishing spot today. If we catch too many, will they be willing to do so?"

Received them all?"

"How much can two people catch? If I'm lucky, I can catch a hundred catties of grouper. It will definitely be no problem."

This is why Zhang Ze considered using a row of hooks. The row of hooks can be lifted after two or three hours.

If you start setting the hook early in the morning, you can collect it about three times a day.

Even if there are only twenty or thirty hooks at a time, the harvest will be more than just fishing, and they can go fishing on the other side during the two or three hours of waiting, so he is not afraid of too much at all.

If the radio factory can’t consume it, then the factory next to it can?

The factories in Yuewan County are full, so he might as well try his luck in the city!

The experience of selling fish at the radio factory has opened up Zhang Ze's thinking. The only thing that makes him hesitate is that he doesn't really like living this kind of life of getting up early every day and working late to make money.

If possible, he would still prefer the retirement life he had spent in his previous life when he was older.

Another thing he also wanted to know was what it would be like to have a biological child of his own.

After all, when he got older, he felt uncomfortable watching his fishing friends enjoying family happiness but not him.

When Tong Yuanhang heard his answer, he felt happy. After pondering for a while, he directly stated his purpose: "Aze, it's like this. I have two brothers at home. They usually have nothing to do. Why don't you let me know?

They also go out to sea to fish and then deliver it to you?"

"The price is easy to talk about. The three of us can get it lower."

Zhang Ze was stunned, no wonder the other party asked that just now. But he did not agree immediately, but pondered for a moment and said: "Well... there are indeed a lot of fish if there are two more people. Let's ask over there first when they sell fish in the afternoon.

I’ll tell you when I get back to the pier!”

"Okay, you can ask when the time comes!"

It's not a good thing to agree too easily. You have to make people feel that you have put in a lot of effort to help.

One morning, the sun slowly climbed from the east to directly overhead.

Zhang Ze, who had gained a lot, put down his fishing rod, picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip of water.

But when he picked up the bamboo tube, a lunch box suddenly appeared in his bamboo basket.

"Aze, have you brought some food? I have some food here." Just when Zhang Ze was about to take out the lunch box, Tong Yuanhang opened a piece of cloth first, revealing a few dumplings inside.

At the same time, because the dumplings show a lack of moisture, the bran on the surface is falling down.

Zhang Ze was obviously surprised when he saw this: "Why do you eat this? Didn't you just make some money?"

It sounds nice to say bran flour dumplings, but actually people here call them bran dregs dumplings privately, because they are dough balls made from bran bran and sweet potato dregs.

Sweet potato residue is the residue left after soaking out the starch, and is used to feed livestock.

I had nothing to eat before, but Zhang Ze was lucky enough to eat it. He could hardly swallow the sweet potato dregs alone, let alone combined with the bran.

Not to mention dogs, even pigs are really not willing to eat this stuff.

"I just considered that I didn't have anything to eat at noon when I went to sea, so I made some for convenience." Seeing that the other party seemed a little disgusted, Tong Yuanhang himself was also a little embarrassed.

"That's right, this thing is really convenient to carry around." Zhang Ze nodded, ignored his embarrassment, took out the lunch box, opened it and said, "Then give me two of your rice bran balls, and I'll share half of the rice with you."

"You brought rice!" Tong Yuanhang looked at the shiny grains of rice and some unknown things on them, and visibly swallowed his saliva.

Not to mention anything else, the shiny black rice alone is very appetizing. If I wanted to refuse it, I couldn't say it for some reason.

Zhang Ze directly took out half of the rice and handed it to him on the lid of the lunch box, then picked up two rice bran dough balls with chopsticks and brought them back.

Tong Yuanhang was not polite when he saw this. He didn't have chopsticks, so he just grabbed it with his hands.

Just after taking two bites of rice, his eyes lit up: "Your rice tastes really good. These bits of white meat taste like crab meat, and the pink and pink ones are crab paste?"

"It's the meat and paste of blue crabs. Cook it directly and remove the meat and paste. Pour soy sauce and lard into the rice and mix it with the crab meat evenly. It's very convenient."

"If you don't have a lunch box at home, you can also get a bamboo tube. Rice bran balls are really hard to swallow."

Zhang Ze took a mouthful of rice bran dough, and his mouth felt as if he had eaten cement. The saliva was immediately sucked dry, making it difficult for him to swallow. In the end, he took two large gulps of water before swallowing.

He had no idea of ​​eating the remaining rice bran dough. It was okay just after it was made. If it tastes bad, at least it can be swallowed. After it is dried, there is really no way to eat it.

He also felt that he had not eaten it for a long time, so he gave it a try, only to find that he, who had experienced all kinds of delicacies in later generations, could no longer accept this thing.

"Can blue crab meat be so delicious?" Tong Yuanhang was surprised.

During the most difficult period, his family survived by eating all kinds of sea fish, crabs and shrimps. He really didn't think these things would be delicious.

"With lard and soy sauce, what kind of seafood will not be delicious?"

"...That's right!" Tong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that what he said was right. At the same time, he secretly thought that he would do the same next time.

Zhang Ze, who was eating, felt a little regretful. The rice was almost cold after one morning. It seemed that the small space could not prevent things from spoiling. It seemed that it could only be used as a small warehouse.

After lunch, he got up and rowed the boat to the edge of a cliff near the shore.

The other side of the mountain in front of him should be the place where Zhang Ze was startled for the first time while walking at night.

The temperature is high in the afternoon, so it is easier to catch fish in this shade.

Tong Yuanhang didn't say anything about this. Instead, he felt that it was quite comfortable here. The coolness of the sea water blew away all the heat at noon.

There are a lot of groupers at this location, but there are also a lot of other snappers, such as Shijiugong, but the harvest is not as good as Good Morning.

Neither of them was surprised by this, at least the afternoon before yesterday was better.

Estimating that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ze stopped fishing and picked up a steel scale to weigh Tong Yuanhang's catch.

There are not many types of grouper here, mostly blue grouper, and the prices of other species are also the same.

Tong Yuanhang caught a total of thirty-one pounds and seven taels of grouper, and there were no other valuable groupers.

The same was true for Zhang Ze. He didn't catch any special fish, but he did catch a six-pound yellow croaker.

It's a pity that there are a lot of large yellow croakers now, and the price is only 40 cents per catty. He doesn't want to sell them if others want them.

It’s just that there were a lot of fish today, and Zhang Ze’s bamboo basket was very full.

Seeing this, Tong Yuanhang was a little worried and said, "How about I come with you and help you get some?"

"It's okay. I can carry two to three hundred kilograms of things. This weight is nothing." Zhang Ze waved his hand and did not agree, "There is someone over there to pick it up. It's not far."
