Lin Xisi pointed to the sink in the backyard, "You can break it there."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Zhaozhao agreed and took out the prepared knife from the basket, grabbed the fish neatly and walked to the water tank.
Everyone followed unconsciously, and Chen Zhaozhao knocked the fish unconscious and scraped its scales quickly.
"What are you doing?" Aunt Zhang asked anxiously.
"This fish is big and the scales are too hard. It's better to eat it if you scrape it off." Chen Zhaozhao explained.
People in Huixi County never scrape fish scales when eating fish. Firstly, food is in short supply but whatever can be eaten is not wasted. Secondly, the fish that can be eaten are relatively small, so there is no concept of scraping fish scales at all.
"Is that so?" Aunt Zhang looked at Chen Zhaozhao curiously, "Do you often kill fish?"
"It's okay." Chen Zhaozhao answered ambiguously, while his hands kept moving.
After scraping the scales, she removed the fishy lines, broke the fish, cleaned the fish, cut it in half, and weighed it to exactly one pound.
"Wow! It's just right. It's amazing." Aunt Zhang exclaimed and praised.
"Experience in weighing vegetables." Chen Zhaozhao smiled reservedly. In fact, this was all tempered by her work in her previous life.
In addition, now that there is a spiritual spring, her hand feels very good.
Chen Zhaozhao tied the small half of the fish with straw and handed it to Aunt Zhang, who happily gave her the money.
"I want the rest," Lin Xisi said.
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao weighed the other half of the fish and tied it up, "One pound and six taels."
After the fish was killed, only two kilograms and sixty ounces were left after subtracting the internal organs. Aunt Zhang cut off one kilogram and only one kilogram and sixty ounces remained.
This female fish has more eggs and a thicker intestine, and the internal organs account for a slightly heavier amount.
Chen Zhaozhao handed the fish to Lin Xisi.
Lin Xisi took it and handed it to Lin Yinghong and said, "I want those two grass carps too."
Chen Zhaozhao was surprised.
Aunt Zhang and Lin Yinghong were even more surprised. Aunt Zhang asked directly: "Xi Si, why did you buy so many fish?"
"You can eat it yourself or give it to others." Lin Xisi answered naturally.
If he is willing to buy it, Chen Zhaozhao is of course willing to sell it, and it doesn't matter what he uses it for.
The transaction is completed just like that.
Lin Xisi asked people from the supply and marketing cooperative to give Chen Zhaozhao food money, and he personally gave him fish money.
The total is sixteen dollars, sixty-four cents.
Finally, Chen Zhaozhao made an appointment with Lin Xisi to collect vegetables every day. Chen Zhaozhao used the tickets he had bought on the black market at the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two kilograms of noodles and five kilograms of flour and left.
Watching them leave, Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Xisi and Lin Yinghong, "This girl is really nice, isn't she? I said this on purpose, and she wasn't even angry. It's really interesting."
I bet she just said that on purpose to test Chen Zhaozhao.
Lin Xisi and Lin Yinglin nodded, having a preliminary recognition of Chen Zhaozhao's character.
Lin Yinghong glanced at Lin Xisi, "It's such a pity~"
Lin Xisi looked at Lin Yinghong speechlessly, "It's no pity."
Lin Yinghong smiled noncommittally.
Finally embarking on the return journey, Chen Ermei and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Although today's income is six yuan less than expected, it's heartbreaking, but thinking about today's experience, it's good to be able to sell the things.
And today's Lishan Village is not peaceful either.
Jiang Chunxiu didn't sleep well all night, and went to block Chen Dawang after breakfast the next day.
As a result, Chen Dawang didn't go up the mountain today. He made carts at home according to Chen Zhaozhao's needs, and Zhang Genshan didn't go up the mountain to help.
She waited for a long time on the way up the mountain but no one came, so she cursed angrily and went to Chen Zhaozhao's house.
Because she was angry in her heart, Jiang Chunxiu's tone was very bad when she spoke, and the result was certainly not what she expected.
Chen Dawang tolerated her at first, but later he couldn't bear it anymore and replied to her. As a result, she got even more enthusiastic, scolding Chen Dawang's family as ungrateful, and spouted all the unpleasant things out there.
She scolded loudly, which immediately attracted villagers to watch. Chen Erwang and Chen Sanwang rushed over immediately. Chen Sanwang had a bad temper and would attack if he disagreed with her.
Chen Erwang was also angry. Chen Zhaozhao's words hurt not only Jiang Chunxiu but also them, so he didn't stop him this time.
Chen Dawang was beaten by Chen Sanwang, but he had no intention of stopping. Liu Guihua and the others rushed to stop him, but Chen Sanwang got angry and started beating whoever stopped him.
Liu Guihua was punched by him and fell to the ground. Chen Xiaoni was so frightened that she cried loudly. Chen Damei hugged Chen Xiaoni while crying and went to pull Liu Guihua.
When Zhang Genshan saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law being beaten, he quickly helped beat Chen Sanwang.
When Chen Dawei saw his father being beaten, he also joined the fighting circle, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The fight was so intense that the onlookers did not dare to step forward to start a fight because they did not dare to offend Jiang Chunxiu.
Now Chen Sanwang's side generally has the upper hand, because Jiang Chunxiu also started to beat Chen Dawang, and they were afraid that they would be blackmailed if they encountered her.
Until Zhao Youchang hurried over and brought people to pull them over.
Everyone ran to Da Chen's house to watch the fun.
Chen Erli also went there and saw that Zhao Sankuan was not watching the fun, so she took this time to see Zhao Sankuan.
Because of Zhao Laifeng's problem last time, Chen Erli was so frightened that she dared not see Zhao Sankuan for so many days. She always felt that her mother was secretly watching her.
Her mother was watching the fun today, and she finally found the opportunity to meet Zhao Sankuan.
Little did she know that Li Mei and Chen Lili followed her quietly.
Chen Erli first went to the grove where she usually met Zhao Sankuan. She wanted to arrange it first and then contact Zhao Sankuan secretly to give him a surprise.
As a result, when we arrived at the place, Zhao Sankuan was already there.
Chen Erli was so pleasantly surprised that she rushed over to Zhao Sankuan and threw him onto the straw pile specially prepared for their tryst. She expressed her longing for Zhao Sankuan with practical actions.
The enthusiasm made Li Mei and Chen Lili who were following them blush and feel embarrassed, and also fascinated Zhao Sankuan.
However, Zhao Sankuan did not completely lose his mind. He and Chen Erli briefly expressed their pain of missing each other and persuaded her to go back.
Chen Erli was unhappy. She hadn't seen Zhao Sankuan for many days and she couldn't even miss him.
"Brother Sankuan, I miss you so much every day, especially in the middle of the night. I miss you so much. Today they all went to watch the fun, so I had the chance to see you. Can you bear to separate from me like this? Can you just
Don’t you miss me?”
Chen Erli said softly while still moving her hands on Zhao Sankuan.
Zhao Sankuan was so tickled by her that he lost his senses. He hugged her and responded to her enthusiasm fiercely.
Li Mei and Chen Lili watched the two hugging each other, their hearts beating fast. They thought about what Chen Erli said and did, and while scolding Chen Erli for being shameless in their hearts, they suppressed their shyness and excitement as they watched them do things.
.
However, they came to their senses after looking at it and turned away their eyes. Li Mei silently signaled Chen Lili to call someone.
Chen Lili was embarrassed to watch the scene with her mother. Her scalp was numb with embarrassment, so she hurriedly and quietly left the grove after receiving the signal.
After walking a few steps, she saw a girl named Zhang Erya from the other village hurriedly heading into the woods.
She thought for a moment, followed quietly, and saw the most exciting show she had ever seen in her life.
Li Mei saw her coming back and asked with her eyes. She raised her chin in the direction of Zhang Erya. Li Mei looked over and saw Zhang Erya coming to the haystack where Chen Erli and Zhao Sankuan had a tryst.
She stared at the two of them in shock, and asked sharply with a trembling voice: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Sankuan and Chen Erli were in high spirits and did not notice Zhang Erya immediately. When they heard the sound, they trembled in fright. Zhao Sankuan finished his work and quickly pulled up his pants.
Chen Erli was also frightened and hurriedly grabbed her clothes in a panic, but Zhang Erya didn't give her a chance and rushed over to pull her hair and beat her hard.
Chen Lili and Li Mei were both stunned. Li Mei quickly came to her senses and excitedly asked Chen Lili to call someone.
