In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...
Mu Chenze always follows his wife, "Then I'll go too."
Chu Xuan gave him an approving smile.
Fu Qing was overjoyed. "Great! You two are both very lucky. Who knows, you might get a big shipment today."
"Let's hope so! But we can't expect too much..."
These words successfully made Fu Qing sober up a lot. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. It is better to keep a normal mind.
After breakfast and finishing my work at home, I calmly prepared to go out.
I arrived at the secret spot for catching seafood around 10:30 today and was able to catch the low tide.
When he got there, the cold sea breeze mixed with moisture hit him in the face. Chu Xuan hadn't been to the sea for more than a month and was somewhat uncomfortable.
However, when I saw the countless razor clam holes on the beach, I immediately adapted to the situation.
Fu Qing also noticed it, clapped his hands, and said excitedly, "I knew you two were lucky! I'm so lucky! I haven't come across so many king clams in such a long time. Luckily, I always prepare some salt every time I come here."
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze also brought salt.
"Sister-in-law, you are so foresighted! Let's try our best to catch them!"
"Okay!"
After sprinkling salt, the king clams came out. The three of them caught them as soon as they said they would, and they caught one every time.
After more than an hour, three large backpacks were full of catches.
Mu Chenze went for a walk around the tide pool. There wasn't much good stuff there, but there was a lot of kelp nearby. He hadn't eaten seaweed steamed buns for a long time, so he had to take some.
Pull out a few fine mesh net bags from your pocket.
Wakame has many benefits.
It can convert harmful substances into non-toxic substances in the intestines, prevent blood coagulation, enhance the activity of lipase in the blood, and thus lower blood lipids...
In addition to kelp, there is also some nori.
Mu Chenze accepted them all.
After a while, all six net bags were full.
Chu Xuan walked over and took a look at the seaweed in the net bag. "I heard that seaweed can be farmed. Doesn't my uncle know a professor who knows about seafood farming? Let him ask him for advice. If seaweed can really be farmed, our village factory will definitely buy all of it."
"Good idea! The tide is coming in, shall we go back?"
"good."
Those three baskets of king razor clams could be sold for at least three hundred yuan at the dock.
No matter how many people come to the house, the money earned is divided equally between Fu Qing and Chu Xuan.
Mu Chenze hasn't been to the city to sell seafood for a month. There will be an ocean-going fishing boat docking tonight, so he plans to try his luck.
If I get good goods, I will hire a car to go to the city to sell them. I can take the king clams with me and sell them, and I can get more than a hundred yuan.
So he discussed it with his wife, "Xiao Xuan, I want to go to the dock early this morning to collect high-end seafood..."
Before he could finish, Chu Xuan interrupted with a smile, "I want to go with you. I'm going to the city to sell king clams."
Fu Qing was delighted when he heard this. "If I can really go to the city to sell king clams, I can make a lot more money! I'll deduct the transportation fee and share the profits."
Mu Chenze said generously, "Family members don't need the fare! Sister-in-law, you and Xiaoxuan can just split it 50-50."
Fu Qing was a little embarrassed. "Chen Ze, you worked very hard today. Can you ask your elder brother to come over and help out someday?"
She had never brought her husband to this place.
I always feel that I have to get the consent of Chen Ze and his wife before I can take it over.
Chu Xuan and her husband looked at each other and nodded.
In a situation like today, one more person can catch one more basket of king clams.
King clams are not available every day. If you can catch them three or four days in a month, you are considered lucky.
The low tide will be later tomorrow than today, so Fu Qing just needs to tell Mu Chenfu to go ashore early.
The three of them returned to the shore and were about to walk back when a sea duck flew by.
Mu Chenze was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed it, took out a thin rope and tied it up.
It's a female.
Fu Qing and Chu Xuan were almost simultaneously looking for sea duck nests nearby, hoping to pick up sea duck eggs.
They actually picked up about ten of them.
As we walked back, we discussed how to eat sea duck eggs.
Eat it fried or pickled as salted duck eggs.
When sea duck eggs are pickled, the duck egg butter becomes shiny and looks good and tastes good.
Just thinking about it makes me drool.
Chu Xuan suddenly thought of artificially raising sea ducks.
"Chenze, wait for you to ask your uncle how to raise sea ducks."
Mu Chenze smiled and said, "Okay. Put the wakame on top of the king clams to avoid encountering the villagers."
Chu Xuan disagreed. "It's okay even if you run into villagers. Just say you collected them from a nearby village and ask if anyone has fresh king clams to sell to you. I'll sell them in the market tonight."
Fu Qing gave Chu Xuan a thumbs-up. "Xiao Xuan is really smart. Trying to hide the truth only makes it more obvious. Let's just carry it home openly. We can also collect a batch of king clams and let Chen Ze make a profit from the difference."
Mu Chenze laughed, "Okay! Let's do it."
The three of them had no protection at all. As soon as they entered the village, they ran into the villagers.
"Where have you three been? Where did you get so many king clams?"
Mu Chenze politely replied, "I collect them from a nearby village. If you have any king clams, you can sell them to me, but I only take the ones that are as big as a man's palm, fifty cents each. Please help spread the word. I'm going to the city tonight to deliver abalone, sea cucumber and other goods, and make a profit from the difference."
When they heard the price was fair, the villagers immediately said they would help promote the product.
After Mu Chenze and his friends returned home, someone actually came to sell king clams, but they were sold in small quantities, with only five or six at most.
I collected fifty or sixty king clams in succession.
Chu Xuan and Fu Qing went to the kitchen together to prepare lunch, and Mu Chenze was responsible for washing the kelp.
He kept the sea duck in an unused house in the backyard.
He wanted to keep the sea duck temporarily to lay eggs.
It's so cold at the seaside, but sea ducks can lay eggs. It's warm at home, so they will definitely lay more eggs.
Fu Qing and Chu Xuan discussed it and picked out a plate of slightly smaller king clams from the backpack, washed them and fried them.
There was tofu and shrimp in the refrigerator, so I took them out and made kelp, shrimp and tofu soup.
I also fried some shredded potatoes and heated up some steamed buns.
Lunch had just been served when Qin Mahua pushed her bicycle into the yard.
"I'm back! I have good news to share with you..."
Before he could finish, he saw so many razor clams in the yard and asked, "Where did these come from?"
Fu Qing was just about to say that he caught them at sea when he suddenly saw a figure flash past the door.
"Mom, these were collected by Chen Ze nearby, and he also collected some from our village."
Another figure flashed outside.
This time, pay and see who it is.
It’s Widow Qiu.
Chu Dashan has always said that he would marry the widow Qiu, but he still hasn't done so.
Qin Mahua followed her eldest daughter-in-law's gaze and saw Widow Qiu.
"Sister Qiu, are you here to sell some king clams? I'll take them."
I said that on purpose.
Widow Qiu chuckled and rubbed her hands. "I didn't find any king clams, so I came here to buy twenty or so from you to fry. Fifty cents a piece, how's that?"
Mu Chenze didn't give her face, "Not very good! I bought them for fifty cents each, so I have to sell them for a dollar at least!"
"So expensive? Make it cheaper!" Widow Qiu felt sorry for the money in her pocket. In fact, it was not her who wanted to eat it, but Chu Dashan who wanted to eat it. He sent her here to buy it and also told her to make sure to buy it.
Mu Chenze waved his hand unceremoniously, "It's not cheap."
Widow Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Buy twenty! If Dashan didn't want to eat them, I wouldn't be willing to buy them."
He took out money from his pocket, counted out twenty yuan and handed it to Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze then picked out twenty of the largest razor clams from the backpack for her.
Widow Qiu took out a cloth bag from her pocket, put it in, and left.
Qin Mahua couldn't help but mutter, "Chu Dashan is really rich! It seems like he has endless money to spend. Where does his money come from?"
Chu Xuan also wanted to know, but she didn't believe that Feng Chunhua had left Chu Dashan with endless money.
But Yuan Tian couldn't possibly give Chu Dashan money to spend.
Who could it be?
Ever since Qiu Daguang was arrested, Chu Dashan never approached Chu Xuan's mother's yard again...
