Liu Gang turned around and saw Zhang Li riding a tricycle pulling a fish, less than five meters away from him. The blood eel incident was a foregone conclusion. There was no use regretting it. He shook his head and threw it to the back of his head. Do whatever you have to do.
Liu Gang took a look at the orchid crabs that Zhang Li sent over. They were not particularly big in size. Each crab was only two to three taels. He took it a few times and weighed it. It was very heavy and very fat, so he nodded and accepted it.
For seafood, freshness comes first, size comes second.
"Boss Liu."
"Didn't Zhao Dahai come to your place these days?"
Zhang Li accepted the money, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Hehehe!"
"Why are you asking about Zhao Dahai? It's not like the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she becomes, right?"
Liu Gang didn't expect Zhang Li to inquire about Zhao Dahai.
"Humph!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"I have to keep an eye on this kid and don't get close to my Ding Xiaoxiang!"
Zhang Li’s eyebrows raised.
Liu Gang was happy when he saw this. It was not surprising that Zhang Li had this idea at all, but the female college student had no choice but to do it after Ding Xiaoxiang said it.
Zhang Li was annoyed for a while. Since the last time she bought mussels in front of Langtou Village, she had thought about and talked about Zhao Dahai several times. Ding Xiaoxiang either said she was tired or changed the subject, not wanting to say at all, "If that's not the case, how could she?"
I'll ask Liu Gang. I'm very busy today. Originally, Ding Xiaoxiang could come over, but she was afraid of meeting Zhao Dahai, so she had no choice but to come over by herself.
Liu Gang thought for a while and told Zhao Dahai about his recent digging of blood eels, which he sold for about twenty kilograms in two days.
Zhang Li was a little surprised. Blood eels are not something that is easy to dig. To be able to dig so many in two days, if you have the ability, it is more important to work hard.
"There's nothing wrong with you not wanting Ding Xiaoxiang to marry Zhao Dahai. This is your daughter and your family's business. However, Zhao Dahai can really endure hardship. There are not many people in their early twenties who can work so hard. We have the skills in this place.
It’s not difficult to support a family if you have legs and work hard. It’s a bit hard, but it’s not something to be ashamed of.”
After Liu Gang finished speaking, he turned around and continued to collect fish, shrimps and crabs. There were a lot of people coming today, and a few people in the restaurant were too busy.
Zhang Li was stunned for a while and then left on a tricycle.
Vegetable market.
"Boss!"
"Kill a chicken!"
"The fat picker!"
……
"One pound of pork belly, and two pounds of pork ribs."
……
Zhao Dahai was very happy. He had just bought about ten kilograms of blood eels and had saved enough money to repair the fishing boat. He left Hongyun Restaurant and immediately went to the vegetable market and bought chickens, pork belly and ribs, vegetables, and more.
After spending almost 300 yuan on some other things, I rode my motorcycle back to Langtou Village.
Zhao Dahai pushed his motorcycle into the yard and parked it. He took down all the vegetables he bought and put them in the kitchen. He walked into the main room and pulled up a stool and sat down in front of Zhong Cuihua who was weaving a fishing net.
"Grandma."
"I just sold the blood eels I dug yesterday, and I have about 20,000 or 21,000 yuan on hand."
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that she had enough money and was going to start repairing the fishing boat.
When Zhong Cuihua heard this, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Dahai, and nodded after a while.
"Grandma."
"I bought some meat and vegetables, and I plan to treat my grandparents to a meal tonight."
Zhao Dahai smiled, but grandma didn't say anything. She must have mixed feelings in her heart.
Zhong Cuihua nodded. Zhao Dahai had no experience in repairing fishing boats, so he would have to ask Zhao Shi for help next. This was a big job, and even a family would have to treat him to a meal.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dahai started to work. He killed the chicken, bled it, and plucked the feathers. He put the whole chicken in a large pot of boiling water. After about ten minutes, he took a chopstick and pierced it into the thickest part. If there was no blood, the water was already cooked.
After soaking in a basin of cold water that had been prepared for a while, he picked it up and put it in a large iron basin. After a while, he cut it into pieces. This is the white-cut chicken, a hard dish that is used to treat people to dinner in the village, and steamed and salty pork belly.
Fish and ribs are used to make soup, and finally a green vegetable is fried.
Main hall.
Zhong Cuihua was talking to Huang Jintao, and Zhao Shi was sitting on a stool next to him, smoking a hookah.
"This kid, Dahai, really endured hardship. In just such a short time, he earned enough money to repair his fishing boat."
Huang Huangtao sighed. Is it possible to make money in the fishing village? You can make money by catching some small fish, digging clams or doing something else, but you have to endure hardship. Zhao Shi said that it costs 20,000 yuan to repair a fishing boat.
, Zhao Dahai was prepared in such a short time. Luck is one thing, but he must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot.
"Hehehe!"
"This child is like a different person."
Zhong Cuihua grabbed two candies and placed them in Golden Peach's hand.
"Sister-in-law."
"Do you really trust the children of the sea to go fishing at sea?!"
Huang Jintao didn't want to talk about it, but she couldn't help it. She had told her about it a long time ago and planned to persuade her again today.
"Golden Peach."
"I understand what you mean. Neither Zhao Shi nor you are willing to take your children out to sea for fishing. But what can we do if we don't go out to sea for fishing?"
"The money spent on repairing the boat is really not easy despite the fact that it doesn't take much time. Those blue crabs and other things are a one-time deal. If you don't go out to sea to fish, there is really nothing you can do."
Zhong Cuihua patted her knees. How could she not be worried? But there was really no way.
"Stop talking about this."
"This kid, Dahai, has his own opinion. We can't stop what has been decided. No matter what happens, we have to support our family. There is nothing to worry about."
When Zhao Shi saw Huang Jintao wanted to continue persuading him, he waved his hand to interrupt.
Huang Jintao sighed. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. No matter how much we talk about it, it's useless. We can't talk about it anymore.
"You should teach me more about repairing fishing boats."
Zhong Cuihua looked at Zhao Shi.
Zhao Shi nodded, said nothing, and just smoked.
The sun sets and night falls.
Zhao Dahai set up a table in the yard, turned on the lights, served the dishes, packed rice and soup for grandma Zhong Cuihua and Huang Huangtao, took two bowls and poured the purchased bulk wine into Zhao Shi's drink. Zhao Shi didn't say anything, didn't eat much of the food, drank heavily, and started to stop him. If he couldn't stop him, he just didn't stop him. It didn't take long for him to get drunk.
Zhao Dahai carried Zhao Shi and Huang Huangtao back together. When he returned to the yard, his grandma Zhong Cuihua had already finished eating and returned to the main room to weave fishing nets.
The moon is at the zenith.
Zhao Dahai sat alone at the table, eating meat and drinking wine. Zhao Shi didn't agree with him going out to sea to fish, but he couldn't say anything to dissuade him. It was clear that there was nothing he could do to dissuade him. It was better to eat than to eat.
No matter how big the danger is, it is not a danger or a problem in the face of this matter. Grandma Zhong Cuihua agreed to repair the fishing boat and go fishing by herself from the beginning, but she must be very worried in her heart, but she did not say anything.
In order to prevent Zhao Shi and especially grandma Zhong Cuihua from worrying about not going out to sea to fish? Then they have to go out to work. But grandma is already very old. My father and mother have gone. This is my only relative. If I go out to work and are not there,
If something happens to someone around me, I will never forgive myself in this life. If you stay in the village, you have to live and make money. Going to sea is the only option.
Zhao Dahai didn't drink too much, let alone get drunk. He has to start repairing the fishing boat tomorrow, so he can't delay things.
