A Young Couple's Fisherman Life in the 90s

Shi Qingqing dreamed of her next thirty years, a life where she would face endless hardships and misfortunes due to poverty.

The day she woke up, she cut her finger on a seashell from the bea...

Chapter 15 The most delicious noodles

I don’t know how long it took, but when Shi Qingqing had calmed down, Zhao Fengnian came back.

His clothes were still wet and he was holding two plastic bags in his hands. The first time he saw Shi Qingqing, he put the plastic bags on the table and took out a black plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a stack of change.

"Where have you been?"

"Oh, didn't someone order seafood yesterday? I saw you slept late, so I went out by myself. I went to find a friend I knew in a fishing village, and we went out on a boat. We worked together to deliver the goods, and we split the money equally."

Zhao Fengnian explained that he was not being charitable: "Although I provided the channel and it was me who sought cooperation with him, the boat and tools belonged to him. He even lent me a car to bring them to town to sell."

Shi Qingqing was originally in a bad mood, and she smiled bitterly after hearing this explanation.

It seems like I am a petty person.

She does care, but not to the extent that she wants the lion's share of everything.

Sometimes a word from this man could really have the opposite effect.

"No need to explain, I'm not an unreasonable person." Shi Qingqing counted the money on the table and was surprised to find that there were as much as ninety-two yuan!

You have to know that the spoils she and Zhao Fengnian got last night were only sold for a few dollars, which was only enough to pay for their food for a week.

These ninety-two... Some factory temporary workers only earn this much money a month, and those who stick incense and burn gold paper have to be fast to earn a hundred yuan a month.

He got it in one morning? He evenly shared it with others.

This must be a ship's worth of trophies.

"so much??"

Zhao Fengnian chuckled, "It was a coincidence today. The fish we caught were all quite expensive. The owner took most of them away as soon as he arrived. The others saw that our business was going so smoothly and thought they were good fish, so they came over and took the rest.

My friend bought goods from two stalls at a low price and sold them, earning a few dozen yuan more, which he split with me. "

Shi Qingqing thought to herself, this person really knows how to seize opportunities.

But this business can make money, why doesn't he do it himself instead of cooperating with Zhao Fengnian?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Shi Qingqing severely condemned herself. The other person had found another source of goods and was kind enough to share it equally with Zhao Fengnian. She shouldn't have thought badly of him.

"You have a reliable friend now."

Zhao Fengnian thought of the representative of unreliable friends, Zhou Bin.

Zhao Fengnian scratched his head awkwardly. "Not all of my friends are like that."

Shi Qingqing nodded and stopped talking about it: "This money is all earned by you, so it's all yours."

"Ah? No, I'm handing over my salary. You can do whatever you want. Don't keep a record. Honey, I really want to continue living with you. Please give me a chance."

Shi Qingqing thought of the early omen of hidden danger today and wanted to shake her head.

But when she saw that Zhao Fengnian was wet, probably because he had been in the water and had been wearing this outfit to make money, she couldn't harden her heart.

"Change your clothes first." This was the choice to let the topic go.

Zhao Fengnian was still anxious and wanted the answer he wanted to hear, but when he saw his wife was already looking for dry clothes for him, he chuckled again.

He knows that his wife has him in her heart, and everything else can come slowly.

It’s not because my wife doesn’t like him anymore.

Shi Qingqing turned around and saw a man in his underwear looking for soap with his butt sticking out.

Sighed silently.

Some couples would still pay attention to their image after three months of marriage, but he went straight into the old married couple mode.

Zhao Fengnian went to take a shower, and Shi Qingqing's attention turned to the two plastic bags on the table.

One is filled with cloth, the other is corn stalks

Corn stalks are not grown in the ground. They are a kind of processed snacks that appear in rural areas and town markets. Operators use tractors to process corn cobs.

With the roar of the tractor, golden corn cobs are processed by the uncle. Although this is a small business, there are many people who like to eat it.

The corn cob is hollow, like a small tube. After being squeezed out, it is continuous and needs to be cut off manually. It is still steaming when it is first squeezed out, and it tastes better after being cooled for a while.

Shi Qingqing had eaten it before, of course. When eating, it would accidentally get stuck in her mouth, and she couldn't get it off with her tongue, so she had to pick it out with her hands...

Shi Qingqing broke off a piece and put it in her mouth.

Because it is not stored for too long, the 'corn stalks' still retain their crispy texture, and have a sweet taste that lingers on the tip of the tongue for a long time.

I guess it’s because it’s made with saccharin, which is why the flavor remains so strong for so long.

Shi Qingqing only tasted it briefly and opened the plastic bag containing the cloth.

After unfolding it, I found that this so-called cloth was actually silk, but it was not silk, and the pattern was strange spots.

"Is this, leopard print?" Shi Qingqing's face twitched. The leopard print scarf was too trendy. She probably didn't dare to wear it.

But this may not be a gift for her.

"Honey, I'm done washing. You see." Zhao Fengnian stepped in and said, "I saw this and I thought it suits you. Everyone says this is the most fashionable style now. Why don't you try it on and see?"

Shi Qingqing smiled and said, "Save it for the New Year. It would be a pity to wear it now."

Zhao Fengnian had no objection. He touched his stomach and asked Shi Qingqing what she wanted to eat for lunch.

"If you don't want to cook, let me do it. We are husband and wife, it doesn't matter who does it."

Seeing the caution in Zhao Fengnian's careless words, Shi Qingqing waved her hand: "It's almost twelve o'clock, just eat some noodles. I'll go buy some vegetables in the afternoon."

"I'll go too. I'll carry the bags for you. Oh, by the way, wife, I have something to tell you. I'll settle things back home in a couple of days, and then I'll go to work and work until New Year's Eve."

"Okay." Shi Qingqing responded while getting the ingredients.

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Shi Qingqing found that the sadness that had been provoked by her biological mother had been diluted.

She would not vent her anger on innocent people even if she herself was feeling bad.

It's a habit to subconsciously respond to Zhao Fengnian's weird things, but there's really no need to vent it on Zhao Fengnian.

At noon, she fried a few poached eggs, then filled the pan with boiling water and cooked the noodles.

When the two were eating noodles warmly, Zhao Fengnian suddenly said, "This is the second best noodles you made."

Shi Qingqing was stunned.

Since they had bought all the seasonings, they had no shortage of eggs. Their lunch consisted of five eggs, three for him and two for her. The soup was delicious. Although the noodles were not as good as the freshly rolled ones, hadn't Zhao Fengnian always liked this kind of medium-width noodles?

So what is the first place?

Seeing that Shi Qingqing was in high spirits, Zhao Fengnian said with a smile, "The first noodle you made for me was braised noodles, the yellowish noodles with seafood and meatballs in it. Do you remember?

In my heart, that is not only your best noodle cooking skill, but also the best noodles I have ever eaten."

It was the first time he knew that so many ingredients could be added to a bowl of noodles. The soup was extremely rich and he would never forget it after eating it once.

Later, due to financial problems, she didn't make this kind of noodles often.

The most delicious noodles? Shi Qingqing murmured, "Then let's go to the beach tomorrow and get some seafood to make braised noodles."

Zhao Fengnian was very surprised and reached out his hand towards Shi Qingqing...
