Chapter 3 There are treasures in the tidal flats to support)
Lin Chunyu got up early the next day and recalled the appearance of the hill yesterday. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few years, this kid turned out to be very good-looking and could talk more than before... Oops, what happened to me?
Zhou Qishan is his younger brother.
However, when I think about Zhou Qishan, who is in his thirties, he actually came back to the village. He is not promising at this young age. People have to run away. If you go out, don’t come back. Make a name for yourself outside and honor your ancestors.
!Marrying a city wife is the serious thing!
For a man of this age, if he goes back to the village, he will be stabbed hard in the spine... If he follows a man like this, he will never be able to hold his head up in the village for the rest of his life!
No matter how strong it is, it won’t work!
I didn't see that my little sister married an old man in his forties. The man was blind in one eye, but he had a house and a car in Xing'an City.
When I go home alone, my mother keeps talking about it every day, saying that people have accumulated blessings, and they shed tears when they see me.
The quality of a village is that simple!
Last night, Zhou Qishan didn't sleep well either. The excitement of being rejuvenated made him toss and turn and he couldn't sleep at night!
He simply got up and started fitness training. When he was still in the army, he trained every day, but after the accident, he was abandoned and all the muscles on his body were gone.
It's just right, take advantage of now to practice your whole body!
When Lin Chunyu went downstairs, he saw Zhou Qishan leaning down, seemingly observing something on the stove.
When my sister-in-law saw Zhou Qishan, she couldn't help but be a little shocked. This child has really grown up. In the past, he was just like a skinny monkey. His grandfather said that it was strange that he had a small body and bones, and he was still a
The medicine jars have now become men standing tall and holding the sky upright.
Zhou Qishan looked back with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Chunyu."
Looking at Zhou Qishan's clear eyes, Lin Chunyu's eyes wandered around for a while, and he even swallowed. This boy really didn't underestimate him... I don't know whose girl is so lucky and has such good strength.
Needless to say, these muscles are really good for farm work...
Zhou Qishan didn't know what his sister-in-law was thinking. If he knew, he wouldn't mind letting this neighbor's sister-in-law, whom he has admired since childhood, experience a fulfilling life.
"Xiaoshan, what are you looking at?" Lin Chunyu quickly changed the subject.
"Oh... I'm looking at the little crabs in this earthen pot. There are quite a lot of them." Zhou Qishan pointed to the things placed on the stove. All the little crabs inside were alive and very agile.
Very cool.
"What's so good about this little crab? We don't all grow up eating it, so we don't care about it."
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside. Upon hearing this sound, my sister-in-law, who was still a little happy at first, suddenly turned pale.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Zhou Qishan asked.
"Don't go out in my room. I'll go and come back." Lin Chunyu bit her lower lip until it bled, and she walked out in two or two steps.
Of course, Zhou Qishan was worried and agreed, but actually followed her secretly and hid in the water bucket beside her.
Lin Chunyu did some ideological work and seemed to have made up his mind before opening the door. There were four or five arrogant young people standing outside. Zhou Qishan saw that the man at the head looked somewhat familiar.
His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
"Sister-in-law of the Lin family, when are you going to pay back this month's money?" The person who spoke was the one who took the lead, and a pair of three-white eyes also glanced at the woman casually.
Lin Chunyu shivered and took out a wad of banknotes from her arms and handed them to the man.
The man nodded and spat loudly: "That's it? Are you sending beggars away? It's not even enough to pay back the interest. Don't think that because you have the support of the village chief, our Qian family is afraid of you!"
"Can you please give me two more days...I will take the chickens at home to the town tomorrow and buy them. I will return them to you when I have enough." Lin Chunyu said in a low voice, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Should I give you mercy? Who will give me mercy? Sister-in-law of the Lin family, you owe our Qian family a lot of money. I think so, why don't you just follow my father and be my father's concubine? This money
, how about just writing it off like this?"
As he spoke, the hooligans around him laughed obscenely, and even the young man's tone was a bit vulgar, "You know, my father is already over seventy, so you just have to deal with it. Anyway, you
Isn't it a waste for a widow to stay alone in an empty house..." As he said this, he actually wanted to put his hand on his sister-in-law's jade-like shoulders, "In the future, when my father dies, you can continue to look for me as a supporter if you have enough money.
In our Daliang Village, our surname is Qian Wang Fa. With us, father and son, your good life, Lin Chunyu, is all behind you!"
Everyone started making noises at the sidelines. Lin Chunyu was a flower in the village, as beautiful as jade. She was the age where you could pick more and more, and she was so charming. What man wouldn’t be greedy? Even these young men are greedy for their runny noses.
, but no one has such courage!
The old man of the Qian family has been eyeing Lin Chunyu for many years. He is also an old man and has had three wives. The latest one is still a young woman in her thirties, who is in her prime.
I don’t dare, but his son is rich and talented! He dares to do such a vile thing!
The guys were laughing and joking again, as if they were going to eat Lin Chunyu alive.
Just watching, my sister-in-law is about to take advantage of others.
Suddenly, a strong and strong hand poked out from the door, and firmly grabbed Qian Yuyu's salty pig's trotters, unable to break free no matter what. A man's rough voice came out: "Sister Chunyu, how much do you owe me?"
I will pay back the money for her."
Although he has a lot of money and is not very courageous, he may use one trick after another to tease women from good families, but when he meets a serious man, he will only pretend to be a fox.
In particular, Zhou Qishan was half a head taller than him and had thick arms. Catching him was like an eagle catching a chicken.
When I have enough money, I live the ideal life of a dandy, bringing along a few losers, teasing and teasing women from good families, and then collecting rent.
Who would have thought that I would hit the iron plate today!
"Brother, please tell me, don't do anything... Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts, I have to twist my arm into a bow for you..."
The sister-in-law on the side also advised: "Xiaoshan, don't do anything yet, in case you get beaten up."
Zhou Qishan smiled and said: "Sister Chunyu, I have a sense of discretion. I can beat you half to death at most, but I can't beat you."
Qian Youyu's face turned green when he heard this. He couldn't beat him half to death, but he still had the right sense to beat him to death. This man was obviously a practicing master, and his attack was not serious at all. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Brother,
You are my brother, and I kneel down for you."
Zhou Qishan pushed it casually, causing Qian Yuyu to stumble and fall back into the crowd.
"I'm not unreasonable. If my sister-in-law owes you anything, I said I will pay it back."
"You? Who do you think you are!" Qian Youyu has learned his lesson and doesn't remember it long, so he keeps saying the same thing. However, Zhou Qishan's eyes widen with anger, and his pair of big iron-like hands are about to grab him. He immediately shrinks back in panic.
in the crowd.
"If you dare to harass Sister Chunyu again," Zhou Qishan made a fist with one hand and looked directly at Qian Youyu's crotch. Everyone heard the joints cracking, and several people were frightened.
He immediately covered his head, feeling as if his little bird was going to be crushed by this man, "Get out of here."
Qian Youyu felt like his lower head was being squeezed into knots, so he didn't dare to leave any more.
He ran far away, and then he dared to scold Zhou Qishan: "Don't run away if you have the ability, I will call someone to fix you later!" As he spoke, he pretended to wave his fist, but Zhou Qishan pretended to run over and hit him.
, a group of people immediately ran back in fright, Qian Youyu was the most embarrassed, and even fell down on his horse. Several people picked him up and ran away. The sand and gravel ground made Qian Youyu cry for his father and mother.
"I can't beat you bastards to death." Zhou Qishan was also amused.
But just at this moment, he heard bursts of sobbing coming from beside him. Zhou Qishan turned his head and saw his sister-in-law Lin Chunyu beside him, who was already crying so hard.
"What's going on?" Zhou Qishan asked quickly.
Lin Chunyu wiped away her tears with her sleeves, but her eyes were still red, like a cute little white rabbit, "It's none of your business, you insist on standing out, I told you this, you little brat,
I can solve this matter myself..."
Lin Chunyu looked at this tall younger brother, who had stayed alone in the konggui for so many years, and had never had anyone to protect her from the wind and rain. This was the first time that she felt a man's protection and strong arms, and she was... she was almost intoxicated.
It's just...I am a widow whose husband has died.
Xiao Shan is a good brother, how could I think so.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Without you, I would have spent the night outside in the rain yesterday. I would have gotten sick or something. I, Zhou Qishan, am not a person who is ungrateful and does not repay kindness."
Lin Chunyu looked at Zhou Qishan's shining eyes and was heartbroken, "When your brother Yuanqiao passed away, our family was completely wiped out by the wedding.
Even the money for the funeral was not available, so I had to borrow it from Qian’s family, and the money has not been paid back yet.”
Zhou Qishan became angry when he heard about the Qian family. Just now he felt that Qian looked familiar. It turned out to be this kid!
His originally cheerful expression also became cloudy, and he even exuded uncontrollable murderous intent. It was as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees, which made Lin Chunyu, who was already wearing thin clothing, shudder.
But this feeling was fleeting, and she felt that the heavy pressure on her body disappeared instantly, as if nothing had happened, and Zhou Qishan in front of her still looked cheerful.
Even Lin Chunyu wondered if he was hallucinating.
"Why haven't you paid it off yet?" Zhou Qishan suddenly asked.
"My father-in-law borrowed a loan from the Qian family at a high interest rate. The interest was compounding. It was a small amount of money, but now, even the interest is much higher! We farmed every month, and I took some things from home to sell mountain products.
The money earned through hard work was not enough to repay the interest. In the end, the village chief came forward to coordinate and fixed a sum of money. However, this money is still too much for our family, it must be tens of thousands."
"To this day, they are still doing this business." Zhou Qishan suddenly laughed.
"Yes, what happened to your grandfather back then..." Lin Chunyu said halfway, as if he was afraid of arousing Zhou Qishan's sadness.
That year, Zhou Qishan's grandfather passed away, but it was inseparable from the Qian family!
It's just that Zhou Qishan's grandfather was kind-hearted. Before his death, he told Zhou Qishan not to interfere in the future. When the truth came to light, Zhou Qishan was driven out of the village in despair.
This matter was shelved because of this, but the seeds of hatred had already been planted in Zhou Qishan's heart!
It’s just that the time is not yet ripe!
Zhou Qishan waved his hand and looked at the simple and gentle woman in front of him. Time had not left many traces on her body, but it had brought her such an unfortunate fate.
"Sister Chunyu, don't worry, I will help you. Let's pay off the money together." Zhou Qishan plucked up the courage to say.
Lin Chunyu looked at this man's affectionate and serious look, and for a moment, she was a little crazy... After a while, she came back to her senses and said coquettishly: "Stop bragging, you little brat can weigh a few pounds."
, Sister, do you still know? Okay, pack up, let’s have breakfast, I’ll make some small crabs for you to fry and crisp, how about mixing them with porridge?”
Zhou Qishan smiled and said, "It's this little crab that makes us rich! Sister, let me show you what I can do. Later, you can take me to the tidal flat to have a look."
Lin Chunyu was from the countryside. She had never been to a city before. How could such an ugly little crab make a fortune? She was puzzled.
Xiaoshan is someone who has been to the city, so maybe there is something he can do.
While she was worried, Zhou Qishan was already busy in front of the stove.
Lin Chunyu couldn't help but said: "Xiaoshan, what kind of cooking are you doing for a man? Don't burn my stove later!"
Zhou Qishan said "hehe" twice without explaining.
The sister-in-law pretended not to care and secretly peeked behind. Zhou Qishan was really nimble.
He went outside and brought in a pile of firewood, cleared the ashes on the stove, lit a fire, set up a big pot, and poured down the washed rice.
Zhou Qishan mashed the crabs with a rolling pin, including the shell and meat, and sprinkled them into the porridge.
Lin Chunyu didn't think so. It was just a matter of cooking porridge. Soon, two steaming bowls of small crabs mixed with porridge were out of the oven.
Zhou Qishan also fried two small green vegetables and returned the overnight fish to the oven. However, Lin Chunyu noticed that Zhou Qishan sprinkled some small powder into the meal. He didn't know what it was.
Zhou Qishan was also very skilled in stir-frying, and the big iron pot seemed to have no weight in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the fish in the pot flew into the air, and then landed firmly inside without splashing any juice.
"Sister, would you like to try it and give it a review?" Zhou Qishan said with a shy face as he approached Lin Chunyu.
Although it was an overnight meal, with crab porridge with clear fire, it was still delicious, tasty, and made Lin Chunyu move her index finger. However, she gave Zhou Qishan a blank look because of her face.
But for some reason, Zhou Qishan's cooking seemed to have a mysterious magic power. She couldn't wait to pick it up and started eating and drinking. The juice was flying everywhere, and even the white and translucent thin shirt she had just put on in the morning had some stains on it.
Drop stains.
While Lin Chunyu ate his mouthful, he said vaguely: "Xiaoshan, it's not my sister-in-law who said that your skills are more than enough to marry a daughter-in-law from the village. Anyone who marries you will be blessed."
.”
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I just make something simple. This time the ingredients are relatively common and the taste has been basically fixed. I put some Chinese medicinal materials to improve the taste, cloves, agarwood chips, I
When you went downstairs, you were holding your chest. Did you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath? This thing is very effective in treating this kind of disease."
He continued: "Especially this little crab, don't look at it... This thing is called a crab. Now in the city, it is a kind of precious small seafood. This thing has many uses, it can be barbecued, and it can also be used as a food.
I crush it like this and add it to soup and porridge, and it can also be used to make sauce. It’s very expensive!” Zhou Qishan introduced it to his sister-in-law with great interest.
"This thing is so exciting... Don't lie to me, sister-in-law..." My sister-in-law was also a little unbelievable. She even touched her chest, "Oh, this little kid can even see a doctor? Oh, I'm almost here.
I forgot, your grandfather used to be the village doctor of our village."
After all, when the two of them ate all the food on the table like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, Zhou Qishan put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the sister-in-law patted her round belly, not to mention her heart and taste buds.
fully satisfied.
Looking at Zhou Qishan washing dishes in the sink, he once again felt the man's love and care.
It’s really like what the Lu family’s sister-in-law said, this family just can’t live without men! Only with men can there be a backbone and peace of mind!
She looked at the ceiling a little absentmindedly and touched her face. Hey, why did she get sick so early... Hey, she thought of her husband who unfortunately passed away, and her heart became depressed.
Both of them did what they said. After packing up the pots and pans at home, they went to the tidal flat near the village one after another. Zhou Qishan was also carrying a big red bucket in his hand and on his shoulder.
He carried a shovel on his shoulders.
The country road continued to the south. Across the tidal flat, Zhou Qishan heard the sound of tides in the distance, as well as the chirping seabirds hovering high in the sky.
The oceans, beaches, tidal flats and even the mountains here are all undeveloped.
It is a virgin land of incredible beauty.
Both the people and the scenery maintain a natural beauty.
The clouds are floating, the scene is beautiful, the blue sky and blue sea complement each other beautifully.
"This is all money!" Zhou Qishan opened his arms, feeling the salty sea breeze, and sighed loudly.
"This is all mud. How much money can there be? Don't make your sister laugh."
Zhou Qishan turned his face and looked at Lin Chunyu, who was equally beautiful and charming today. Today she went out and specially changed into a dress. It was a small shirt that she cut at home. It had blue and white porcelain patterns on it, embroidered with distant mountain scenery and various plants.
,
It reflected Lin Chunyu's pretty face, making it even more flawless.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't say anything else, if you take a pound of these crickets to the farmer's market in the city, they will cost eighty yuan a pound. You have to go early, otherwise it will be too late after seven o'clock.
I can’t buy it anymore.” Zhou Qishan himself lives in the urban area, so he often goes to the vegetable market to buy these delicious food. When he makes porridge with these crickets, the taste is comparable to seafood porridge, so the price cannot be lower!
He had eaten in restaurants several times, but the prices were high. A bowl of cricket porridge cost five hundred, and you had to make a reservation in advance!
"Really?" Lin Chunyu couldn't help but get excited.
"How can it be false? My sister-in-law is here to help!"
Catching crickets is a physical job. Even though Zhou Qishan has returned to his youth, after struggling all morning, he still only found about thirty kilograms of crickets. However, there were other unexpected gains along the way. Zhou Qishan was also nearby.
On the reef, he pried some oysters and fished out some shells. What surprised him most was that he touched a big clumsy lobster near the water.
He threw everything into the bucket, and every bucket was filled to the brim.
In order to prevent these small seafood from slipping out, Zhou Fengtian also made a straw cover and fastened it.
What makes Zhou Qishan most incredible is that the quality of the seafood in this sea area is extremely good, and even the crickets are bigger than he has ever seen!
The quality of these crickets is first-rate, and it’s not difficult to sell them for hundreds of dollars!
The most important thing is to find a good buyer who can continue to trade! Zhou Fengtian has just observed carefully that there are extremely rich types of seafood here. The terrain of the tidal flat is the most suitable for the growth of various small seafood, and there are some unique local seafood.
specialty.
This is simply invincible.
It has no rivals in the market and will definitely be able to firmly occupy the top spot in the market.
Zhou Qishan often goes to food stalls in the city and drinks and socializes with his boss. This kind of restaurant is the most frequented, even though these places advertise their authentic seafood!
But in fact, they are all farmed products. Not only that, the freshness is not very high. Many seafood are placed in foam plastic boxes and frozen in ice cubes, which is purely deceiving consumers!
He weighed it twice and couldn't help but think in his heart, "Daliang Village is too closed. People from outside can't come in, and people in the village don't come back after leaving. Over the past few thousand years, the accumulated seafood has been particularly rich. The unique climate has made it even more difficult to get in."
It is to make seafood grow better than normal... If we can enter the market in large quantities, our village will become rich in just a short time!"
However, after working so hard all morning, his palms were badly torn, bleeding a lot, soaked with seawater, and painful.
The strong sea breeze blows back and forth along with the moist and salty smell.
Zhou Qishan splashed a lot of sea water on his body, and when exposed to the sun, it turned into grains of salt. Zhou Qishan rubbed it, and it fell down like snowflakes.
The sister-in-law hurried over and looked at the hands with distress, "I knew I would have brought you an extra pair of gloves...Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't matter, it's not noon yet, I'm going to the vegetable market in the city to sell all these seafood!" Zhou Fengtian smiled heartily, and the follow-up plan gradually emerged in his mind.
