After Yun Miaomiao and a few others finished eating, they heard the boatman's exclamation from outside.
"There are so many fish, please come quickly!"
"This is the first time I have seen so many fish!"
"This is how you go fishing at sea. I will come back again in the future!"
Yun Miaomiao looked at Jiang Lizheng with crooked eyes, "Uncle Li Zheng, you don't have to pull the net."
"What? You won't let me go? That won't work." When Jiang Lizheng heard that he was not allowed to go, he immediately became unhappy, "I came here specially to help you fish, how can you not let me go."
After eating the steamed buns, he felt that his body felt much better. How could he sit still?
Seeing that he had misunderstood her, Yun Miaomiao hurriedly explained, "You have misunderstood. It does take strength to pull the net, but after the fish comes up, people also need to put it into the cabin and salt it for curing. And it's not just you.
, and a few of them."
She casually pointed to a few other people in the cabin. It seemed that the situation was not that good. These people could not help if they went out to pull the net.
Jiang Lizheng looked at the other people and hesitated.
He knew that Yun Miaomiao was telling the truth and that he wanted someone to do the work, so he agreed and patted his chest as a guarantee.
"Anyway, if you don't let me lie down, I can do any job."
Seeing that he relented, Yun Miaomiao called the few people just now and began to teach them how to do it, and even gave them a shovel each.
At this time, Qingyang's cry rang out again, "Madam, let someone come out and help, this fish is too heavy."
"coming!"
Everyone rushed towards the bow of the boat and saw a large group of fish appearing on the sea. They were jumping on the sea and sparkling in the sun.
The boatmen pulled the net hard, with joyful smiles on their faces, but it was obvious that they were unable to do so.
"Hurry, go and help!" Yun Miaomiao hurriedly asked people to help pull the net!
Wang Tiezhu and others immediately joined the team pulling the net.
Although their movements were a bit unfamiliar, it was the first time they saw so many fish, and they used all their strength to pull up the net.
The fish jumped in the net, and everyone cheered.
"Good guy, there are so many fish here."
The net was pulled up and the fish were unloaded on the deck. Jiang Li was holding a shovel in his hand and without missing a moment, he mixed the fish and salt together.
The caught fish was pure silver all over, with a touch of yellow on its belly, and its light blue eyes were lifeless. The fish was already dead when it left the water.
"Girl Yun, what kind of fish is this? This is the first time I've seen it. Why is it not moving?"
Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but smile when she saw that Jiangli was working hard.
"This fish is called yellow croaker, and it is delicious. The meat is delicate, and it tastes great when cooked like this!" Yun Miaomiao patiently explained, "The fish in this sea are no better than those raised at home. When they leave the water, they die immediately, so we
We just pickled it with salt, otherwise there would be no way to transport the fish back. When it reaches the shore, we will kill it and dry it into dried fish."
After hearing Yun Miaomiao's explanation, Jiang Lizheng couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said, "Then we have to clean it up, so as not to waste this delicious fish later."
Yun Miaomiao nodded, and Jiang Lizheng stopped talking and directed everyone to transport the fish to the cabin one by one, sprinkle them with salt, and marinate them carefully.
Jiang Li was working particularly hard, and within a short time, the space in the cabin was gradually filled.
There are many fish on the deck, and the buckets of fish are shining silver in the sun. The fish on the sea are still jumping, and the boatmen's laughter and cheers come one after another.
At this moment, everyone was immersed in this unexpected gain and joy.
When the last bucket of fish was transported to the cabin, Yun Miaomiao leaned against the side of the boat and looked at the fish on the sea. Her heart was full of satisfaction and her eyes were full of joy.
As the sun set, the fish schools on the sea gradually gathered, and Yun Miaomiao also asked people to pack up their tools and prepare to go back.
This time they didn't go very far, but they were lucky enough to encounter this school of fish. Next time they wouldn't be so lucky.
After returning, Qingyang directed everyone to move all the fish off the boat. There were already a bunch of people standing on the pier on the shore.
"Hey, how long has this big boat been out for, and it's back so soon?" one person said.
"I said no. It's so easy to catch fish in the sea. It's not like our family has never been there before. The number of fish you get back is not as much as what you pick up on the beach. It's also very dangerous." Another person said.
The aunt agreed.
"No, going to sea is dangerous and fruitless. Why waste all this effort?"
Aunt Wang frowned, "Why are you so mouthy? Why did Xiaoyun offend you? It's not that you covet others' food, you want to get it for free, and you don't want your men to go out to sea to take risks.
If they don't give you this opportunity, I think you won't even get a cent, and you'll still make sour remarks."
After a pause, she continued, "Also, if you don't want the food given by others, don't wait here for them. It's not like they said they would wait here to help unload the goods, and the family can get an extra pound of food.
, if we don’t provide food, I wonder which of you will come here and wait, hum!”
As soon as Aunt Wang's words came out, everyone lowered their heads, like a balloon that had been popped, feeling guilty and not daring to continue.
Aunt Wang's words were correct. They had all benefited from Yun Miaomiao's hands. If it hadn't been for the fact that Yun Miaomiao had given her too much food, they wouldn't have waited here all night to help unload the goods and earn some money.
Food to eat.
Moreover, Yun Miaomiao not only helped them plant the land, but also set aside the fruit groves in the back mountains. When the fruits were ripe, they could pick them and exchange money with her for food. This was all for their own good, otherwise they would
But they were all still hungry, so they could only eat those unpalatable seafood.
However, this fish has so many bones, even if Yun Miaomiao transports it back, who will buy it?
What if the bamboo basket fetching water comes to nothing at that time? What if I promised to buy their fruits and grains but didn’t?
However, Yun Miaomiao didn't know this. When she got off the boat, she saw a group of people waiting on the shore, all with gloves in their hands.
"Aunts, you came just in time. We went fishing today and caught a lot. If you help us move the fish back to the warehouse in the small courtyard, I will give you an extra pound of food. If there are people who are not afraid of hard work and tiredness, they can stay.
Those who come down to help kill fish, I will give you two more kilograms of food. If you want to keep it, after the meeting is completed, go to Qingyang and tell him, and he will register it. After you finish your work, you can all go to Dongqing to get it.
food."
They all want to covet the food given by Yun Miaomiao, so they are waiting here to help unload the goods. Now that they can get more food, who wouldn't want to work more.
"Two more kilograms of grain?"
"So much food?"
"If we work this for one night, we can get three kilograms of grain, which is enough to feed our family for three or four months."
Yun Miaomiao knew that there were many fish on the boat, and it would definitely not be enough to rely on these people alone.
She thought for a while and came up with another idea, "If you have children at home who can help kill fish, the children can get half a catty of food from killing the fish overnight. You can think of it yourself. If you can come, all of them can come.
Gather in the small courtyard."
"It's only half a catty. Our Niuniu works very efficiently."
"Yes, half a catty is too little." Aunt Yang said with disdain, "How about if you add half a catty, our children will be very capable at work."
Yun Miaomiao looked at everyone present quietly without saying a word.
Seeing that those people were getting more and more exaggerated, Aunt Wang took a step forward and said, "Xiaoyun earns this money for you out of kindness. Don't go too far."
"From the Wang family, isn't it good for you to say this?" Aunt Yang snorted, "What are you trying to say here? These are all children, they are still young. They are helping with the work. One pound of food per night is not too much.
Already."
Just as Aunt Wang was about to retort, she heard Yun Miaomiao's voice ringing in her ears.
"Since you said the children are still young, forget it. If you feel you don't want to work, you can go back." Yun Miaomiao said nonchalantly.
Aunt Yang, who was still smiling proudly, suddenly froze on her face, "What did you say?"
She just expected that Yun Miaomiao needed people to work, so she dared to make noise like this. How could she have thought that Yun Miaomiao would just stop asking people to work, how could this be okay?
"You really don't want our help?" Aunt Yang confirmed again, "But you have so many fish."
"Yes, I have so many fish, but aren't there also so many men on the boat? They work very clearly." Yun Miaomiao said calmly.
Seeing Yun Miaomiao's cold expression, Aunt Yang and the few people who made trouble panicked. This was not going to work. They just wanted more food. If they really went back, they wouldn't have a share.
"How can this be done? They work so hard at sea. How can men be as handy as us women? They are very clumsy and cannot kill fish well. If we come, our children are also nimble with their hands and feet. Half a pound is half a pound. Don't you think so?
Ah." Aunt Yang immediately changed her expression and put on a flattering one.
This was the first time that Aunt Wang saw someone whose expression changed so quickly. She sneered a little when she saw that other people also started to agree.
If it weren't for Yun Miaomiao saying that they don't want to work, each of them would be even more respectful and would be able to make more excessive demands. Fortunately, little Yun girl was not fooled and took a step back to let these people make more extreme demands.
The request comes.
Seeing that Yun Miaomiao didn't speak, Aunt Yang felt uneasy. Aunt Wang also glanced at her and saw that her expression was not bad, so she said tentatively.
"Okay, stop gossiping here. Xiaoyun won't argue with you, so don't push yourself too hard. The ship has been docked for such a long time. Let's go quickly and help unload the cargo."
"Hey, hey, let's go and take a walk."
Everyone nodded in agreement, fearing that Yun Miaomiao would regret not agreeing, so they hurriedly crowded together to unload the cargo at the ship's edge and began to get busy.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at Aunt Wang's back and raised the corners of her mouth. Even though Aunt Wang had forgotten the past, her kindness to her had never changed. She would always remember the kindness between her and Huzi in the future.
Aunt Yang and her group walked to the side of the boat and found bucket after bucket of fish, all covered with layers of sea salt. The taste was not very good.
"My God, how did you catch so many fish?" Aunt Yang exclaimed.
Aunt Wang took a closer look and was shocked, "Well, there are too many fish here."
When Jiang Lizheng and Wang Tiezhu saw the women's reactions, they immediately laughed, "You don't know, Xiaoyun took us out to catch the sea this time, and we were lucky enough to meet a school of fish. With this net, all the fish were caught.
, except for using some strength when pulling the net, we were idle the rest of the time. We also ate two big steamed buns at noon, which was very relaxing."
"Haha, yes, you don't know how spectacular that scene is. It's the first time I've seen so many fish. It's Xiaoyun's luck that brought me to see such a big scene." Wang Tiezhu also smiled.
said.
Qingyang looked at the cheerful people and was in a good mood, "Everyone, hurry up and finish your work. Our wife said that these fish taste very good. When you finish your work, she will cook it for you personally."
, I’m not exaggerating, our wife’s craftsmanship is not even as good as the cooks in the palace, you guys are in luck.”
Jiang Li was thinking about what Yun Miaomiao said. The taste of this yellow croaker was extremely delicious, and he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
Aunt Yang and the others all looked at each other, wondering how delicious a fish with so many bones could be, and did not take Qingyang's words seriously.
Qingyang didn't care what everyone was thinking. It was getting late now. If the fish were not unloaded and processed, I'm afraid no one would be able to sleep tonight.
"Okay, let's all get to work quickly. There are so many fish and there are so many of us. It will be a good meal after we kill them." Jiang Lizheng changed his smile from just now and looked at everyone seriously.
Fortunately, everyone was capable, and they carried bucket after bucket of fish back to the small courtyard with very neat hands and feet. A large group of people were waiting in the small courtyard early, holding kitchen knives and chopping boards, and also brought fish.
He was sitting on a small bench and looked like he was working.
Seeing this scene, Yun Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, pour out all the fish in the bucket, take out all the internal organs in the stomach, then wash them in sea water, throw them into this box, and then move them into the warehouse."
Go inside, do you understand?"
She squatted on the ground, picked up a fish, and demonstrated. The others looked at her skillful gestures and murmured in their hearts.
This little girl doesn't look like a worker at all, but she does her work very neatly.
Yun Miaomiao divided a group of people to kill the fish, a group of people to wash the fish, and a group of people to pack the fish. After each link was carefully arranged, she went into the kitchen with confidence.
When Dongqing came back, he found that the small courtyard was full of people, and laughter and talking could be heard from time to time. When he saw the fish piled up in the yard, he was shocked.
He and Wang Cheng looked at each other, turned around and went into the kitchen, "Madam, there are so many fish outside, did you catch them from the sea today?"
Yun Miaomiao was preparing dinner. When she heard the sound, she turned around and looked at the two of them, "Yes, I was lucky today. I encountered a school of fish and harvested a lot. Don't be idle when you two come back. They haven't eaten yet. You two
Go quickly and take out the rice from the warehouse, as well as the basket, cook the rice for me, and bring two bundles of firewood. Go and ask the two children to come over and help me pick vegetables. Go quickly."
After Yun Miaomiao came to the island, most of the food she ate was prepared by Dongqing. The taste was not very good, just enough to be eaten.
She has long wanted to cook by herself, but she has never had time to show off her skills. After catching so many fish today, she couldn't help but do it herself.
The most fish caught this time was yellow croaker, and there were other things in it, including a lot of squid, some groupers, and some lobsters. These were all good things. Yun Miaomiao felt disgusted just thinking about it.
Drooling.
She brought in a basket of yellow croakers, put them in a basin and washed them with clean water, just as Wang Cheng came in with a large basket.
"You came just in time. After you put the basket in, you put all the fish in it and steamed it."
Wang Cheng looked at the large basin of fish and his eyes widened, "Put them all in?"
Yun Miaomiao continued to clean up the seafood, "They are all there. Go and find me a big pot and bring it in. I want to cook these things."
Wang Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was so hard to catch so many fish. If they were all cooked, wouldn't it be too wasteful? Moreover, those who had already received so much food, Yun Miaomiao didn't need to worry about it.
For one meal.
But Yun Miaomiao had already made up his mind, so he didn't say much, lowered his head and went out to look for the pot.
After Yun Miaomiao cut the squid, he looked at the groupers weighing four or five pounds. If groupers grow in the sea, they usually have few fish bones. They are most suitable for boiled fish. If you have a meal,
, I thought about it a lot in those days and nights.
But she can eat spicy food, but she doesn’t know if people outside can eat spicy food. Yun Miaomiao rolled her eyes and realized that there happened to be so much grouper, so she just made two flavors.
One is spicy and the other is garlicky.
After Dongqing put the rice in and cooked it, she came in to help Yun Miaomiao pick vegetables. The vegetables were grown in the yard. A few days ago, Yun Miaomiao had a whim and planted some strange things. At this time, Yun Miaomiao was also attracted by it.
Picked it up.
"Madam, are these things really edible?" Dongqing looked at the vegetables in the two boxes, "What if..."
Yun Miaomiao looked at the bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms in his hand and smiled, "Of course, don't rush to eat them later. By the way, Dongqing, I remember you also pickled a jar of sauerkraut. Go and bring it here. I want to use it."
"
Can sauerkraut be used to stew fish? This is the first time Dongqing has heard of it, can the dish be delicious?
Although she felt that it was not possible, Dongqing obediently went to bring the sauerkraut she had picked. One night, Dongqing and Wang Cheng were busy going in and out, and the aroma of the food gradually wafted out of the kitchen as time went by.
, which instantly brought out the greedy food in everyone’s stomach.
Jiang Li was carrying the last car of fish back. He smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but swallowed, "This smell is so delicious~".
