Chapter 30: Fish delivered to your door

Chu Xuan thought the security guard was going to return the banana to her. Just as she was about to say no, the security guard whispered, "The factory here doesn't accept them, but the pharmaceutical factory in the city does, and there are people who come to collect them at your door. For the others, you'll have to ask around on your own."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chu Xuan left another banana for the security guard and turned to leave.

Mu Chenze often goes to the city to sell deep-sea fish, so maybe I could ask him to help me find out.

As for the method of preserving fish liver, she knew it, which was to use salt storage.

After removing the fish liver, place it in clean water and gently squeeze the liver with both hands to remove the blood. Then remove it, mix it with a certain proportion of salt, seal it in a jar or bucket, and store it in a cool place.

When there is enough, we can sell it to the city pharmaceutical factory.

Chu Xuan found a place to buy thirty kilograms of salt and twenty kilograms of sugar. Because he didn't have a ticket, he spent five cents more per kilogram. Salt cost twenty cents per kilogram, and sugar cost eighty-three cents per kilogram.

Asked for a sack to pack it in.

I took the bus back to town and bought two large jars from a jar shop. I paid a deposit of 5 yuan and would pay the balance after the jars were delivered to my door.

I plan to use a large tank to store fish livers.

The fish liver cannot be wasted, it is more valuable than the fish itself.

By the way, I went to the town security team to sign a letter of understanding and got two copies of the certificate signed by Chu Dashan.

After returning to the village, submit a copy to the village office.

When I got home, it was noon. I was tired, hot and hungry, so I put the things I bought in the kitchen.

There was one less portion of grilled fish fillet in the kitchen because my younger brother had already delivered it to Gao Meijuan's home.

I made mung bean soup and prepared lunch in advance.

Stir-fried snail slices with chili peppers, cabbage and tofu soup, and white flour steamed buns.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Chu Xuan's fatigue disappeared.

After lunch, he felt fully recovered. He showed the certificate to his younger brother and hid it in the mezzanine on the roof of the bedroom.

Soak a packet of Chinese medicine for half an hour before boiling.

From today on, she began to take care of her body and asked her younger brother to cook lighter meals for her in the future.

There is no need to worry about the body not keeping up with nutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine contains tonics that are sufficient for the body's daily consumption.

Also make a plan for exercising for yourself.

In her previous life, she was extremely lazy and only drank Chinese medicine without exercising or following certain dietary restrictions. It took her a year of conditioning before she slowly lost weight.

In this life, she will strive to see results as soon as possible.

Around 2:00 PM, the Chinese medicine was ready.

Chu Xuan took a spoon and scooped up the medicine, blowing on it while drinking it. It was not very bitter and was acceptable.

In my previous life, the first Chinese medicine I took wasn't too bitter. Later, I adjusted the prescriptions one by one. Some were hard to swallow, some were sour, and some had a bitter and fishy taste...

After drinking it, there was a spoonful of sugar in front of my eyes.

"Sister, have some sweets."

Faced with such a caring little brother, Chu Xuan was very pleased. He took the spoon and licked the sugar. It was so sweet!

Chu Feng was drooling greedily.

Chu Xuan gently rubbed his head and said, "Go and have a spoonful too."

Chu Feng knew that the sugar was used to make grilled fish fillets, so he waved his hands and said, "I won't eat it. I'll save it to make money."

Chu Xuan suddenly remembered something. Before the family split up, his younger brother stole some sugar and was beaten by Feng Chunhua. He was also made to stand at the gate of the yard as punishment.

Since then, I have never dared to eat white sugar again.

Chu Xuan finished the sugar in the spoon in one gulp, walked into the kitchen, took out a bowl, scooped two full spoonfuls of sugar into it, and handed it to his younger brother.

"Dip the steamed bun in it and eat it whenever you want. Remember to brush your teeth every night."

Chu Feng held the bowl, tears streaming down his face, "Sister, you are so good to me!"

In the past, the less I could eat white sugar, the more I craved it.

Chu Xuan knew his younger brother was shedding tears of joy, so he jokingly said, "Giving you sugar is good for you, right? Next time we go to town, I'll buy you some candy."

Chu Feng cheered happily, "Thank you, sister!"

"Eat quickly, then read a book."

"Yes, sir!"

Chu Feng took half a steamed bun, broke it in the middle, put all the sugar in the bowl into it, and ate the bun with a satisfied look on his face, as if he was eating some delicious delicacy.

After eating, ladle the mung bean soup in the pot into the bowl that contained sugar, rinse it, and drink it.

"How sweet! So happy!"

The shadow of not being able to eat sugar as a child disappeared at this moment.

He smiled and asked Chu Xuan, "Sister, can I have another spoonful?"

Chu Xuan was about to say that he was choking because he ate too much, but then he thought, there are some things that he needs to try on his own.

"Of course. Eat!"

Chu Feng happily ran towards the bag of sugar, carefully scooped out a spoonful, and put it directly into his mouth.

Then, I drank a lot of water.

He did not ask for more sugar because he found that eating too much sugar would make him choke, so he should stop eating it in moderation.

At around three in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Xuan opened the gate and saw Ji Ping leaning against a flatbed cart filled with skinned fish.

She knew Ji Ping, who was Mu Chenze's best friend. After the Mu family encountered a series of disasters in the previous life, Ji Ping went to the Mu family to help many times.

Since they were all from the same village, Ji Ping naturally knew Chu Xuan.

He heard that Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze kissed, but the marriage did not take place.

Mu Chenze said it was an accident, so let him treat it as an accident!

"Chu Xuan, Chen Ze said he'll treat you like a buddy from now on. So, he asked me to send you a skinned fish. It weighs 560 kilograms. It just came on the scale. If you don't believe me, you can weigh it again. Just pay him."

"Xiao Feng, quickly go call Grandma Gao to help kill the fish." Chu Xuan gave the order with a smile on her face, pointing to the cement floor in the corner of the yard and looking at Ji Ping, "No need to weigh it again. Please unload it there!"

"no problem."

Ji Ping swiftly pulled the cart into the yard and unloaded the fish in the corner.

After a while, the fish piled up there like a small hill.

Chu Xuan went into the kitchen and brought out a large bowl of mung bean soup, handing it to Ji Ping, "Drink some mung bean soup to cool down."

Ji Ping muttered to himself, this fat guy is quite attentive.

He took it readily, "Thank you!"

He gulped down the drink in one gulp, returned the bowl, and left.

Chu Xuan put on an apron and took out a knife, a chopping board, and two wooden basins.

Start killing the fish, removing the internal organs, chopping off the head and peeling the skin.

Put the liver in one bowl and the fish meat with bones in another bowl.

When Gao Meijuan, her daughter and Chu Feng came in with a knife and a cutting board, the basin was already full of fish.

Just then, the person delivering the large porcelain jar arrived and presented two large wooden jar lids.

Chu Xuan paid twenty-five yuan for the large jar and sent the man out.

After the two large vats were cleaned, they were placed in the adobe house.

Chu Xuan explained the processing requirements to everyone, and everyone found a position and started working.

Chu Xuan took a basin of fish, washed it, and went to the kitchen to marinate it.

According to my experience in my previous life, ten kilograms of fish can produce about one and a half kilograms of grilled fish fillets.

Five hundred and sixty kilograms will be roasted overnight, and it is expected that about eighty-five kilograms of roasted fish fillets will be produced.

We will have to wait until it is baked to know the actual yield. Then we will add labor costs, transportation costs, seasoning costs and other costs to determine the price.

After marinating, Chu Xuan put a portion of grilled fish fillets and two wooden barrels into the backpack, said goodbye to Gao Meijuan and the others, put on the backpack, and went out to catch seafood with two empty wicker baskets on a shoulder pole.

When she arrived at the place where people went to catch seafood, Mu Chenze was already fishing in the tide pool.

I felt the embarrassment of an employee being caught by the boss. I rushed over as fast as I could and apologized with the most sincere attitude, "Sorry! I'm late..."

Mu Chenze stopped trying to retrieve the red snail and reached out to Chu Xuan, "Give it to me!"

Chu Xuan didn't understand for a moment, "Give what? A wicker basket? Here!"

Mu Chenze pretended to be disgusted, "How stupid! Think about it carefully!"
