The young woman was surprised by how thoughtful Chen Hong was. She had never handled such a transaction before and didn't know the specific taxes and fees for this type of vehicle.

Just when she was wondering how to bring up the money with Chen Hong, this woman made her stance clear and offered to transfer the money in advance, which put her at ease.

Regardless of how much money I can make from this deal, at least I won't be scammed out of my own money.

With the supervisor's enthusiastic assistance, Chen Hong quickly completed the formalities and received the receipt. The young woman still needed to handle the registration and tax payment procedures, so Chen Hong only needed to wait for the car to be picked up in the afternoon.

After leaving behind a total of 60,000 yuan including the cost of the car and taxes, Chen Hong drove home first.

Chen Hong is very satisfied that she doesn't have to run around handling procedures herself and can earn money easily without any hassle. Time is too tight for her now.

Besides, she couldn't drive two cars by herself. She could have the young girl help her with the paperwork, and after finishing her chores at home in the afternoon, she could simply take Uncle Erhu with her and drive the car back together.

After returning home, Chen Hong greeted Uncle Erhu and asked him to come with her to Weihai to pick up the car at 4:30 pm. Then she closed the gate and continued her business of drying goods.

Sea cucumber, abalone, scallops! Dried squid, dried cuttlefish, saury, dried mackerel, dried red snapper, dried shrimp, dried shrimp rice, dried eel, dried conch meat.

Chen Hong dried a lot of the fish that were plentiful in the space and suitable for drying.

In the courtyard, on the roof, and on each balcony, there are rows and rows of drying racks, and bamboo mats are densely packed with all kinds of dried fish and seafood.

Even from a distance, you can smell the enticing aroma of salty dried fish.

Chen Hong hasn't liked going out these past few days; she even smells strongly of seafood. Just getting close to her tells you she's been drying fish and seafood at home again!

While drying these goods, Chen Hong also tidied up the various fish maws stored in her space.

Fish maw, or swim bladder, is processed and dried to form a translucent gelatinous substance, which is then called fish glue.

Large fish from the deep sea have large and thick swim bladders because they dive deeper. The resulting fish maw is large, thick, and has beautiful patterns, and is known as fish glue.

In coastal areas such as Fujian and Guangdong, it is known as "marine ginseng".

Sichuan peppercorns are rich in collagen, various vitamins, and trace elements such as calcium, zinc, and iron, which can slowly enhance the body's immunity.

Sichuan pepper has medicinal effects of tonifying the kidneys and replenishing essence, and strengthening the body's functions. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, fish maw can tonify the kidneys, replenish essence, and nourish tendons and veins.

Suitable for those with lower back and knee pain, and general weakness.

Fresh fish maw, after removing excess fish oil and tendons, is dried and becomes the valuable fish maw.

Fresh fish maw has a satin-like luster and is as bright as a pearl.

Removing fascia and grease is a very delicate task and takes a very long time. You can only remove the surface impurities little by little by hand.

Extracting the oil from inside the fish maw requires extra care. If the fascia in the fish maw isn't completely removed, it won't be a successful product after drying.

It will have some odor and won't look very good. You need to carefully use two chopsticks to wrap the fascia and rotate it to remove the fascia completely from the abdominal cavity of the fish maw.

However, the overall shape of the fish maw should not be damaged. Once the fish maw is cleaned, it can be shaped.

Place the fish maw on this bamboo tray to set its shape, and finally insert a chopstick into the abdominal cavity of the fish maw for support.

After air-drying for three days, the fish maw turns into a beautiful amber-colored transparent state.

Fish maw is considered a highly nutritious food and is ranked alongside abalone, sea cucumber, and shark fin as one of the four top seafood ingredients.

Chen Hong's space contained a lot of slaughtered conger eel maw, and a few threadfin bream maw and croaker maw. These kinds of fish maw are all good materials for making fish maw.

Taking advantage of the time available, Chen Hong kept moving in and out of the space, quickly drying and processing the fish maw that needed to be dried and processed.

The fish that should be used for fish feed are dried and prepared for grinding into powder, which will then be mixed with flour to make fish bait for fishing trips.

Apart from a few fish intestines and entrails that were completely useless and were thrown into the septic tank for composting, many of the scraps were put to great use in Chen Hong's hands.

There's still a lot waiting for her to handle in the space! Many kinds of fruits from other places and imported fruits that are inconvenient to come here are also waiting for her to pick, dry them into dried fruit or make them into candied fruit.

Various dried fruits are waiting for her to harvest, peel, and dry, and the tea leaves are ready to be picked and processed.

The honeycomb is full of honey, and it's time to harvest it.

Every day, as soon as Chen Hong enters the space, she feels that there is always work to be done. As soon as she finishes one task, another one begins.

It's true what they say, as long as you're alive, you'll keep working!

Fortunately, she is in excellent physical condition now, but she feels that there is not enough time in the day.

I start working as soon as I open my eyes. I'm busy all day long, and the workload never seems to decrease. Before I know it, it's evening, and the day is over.

Chen Hong said she didn't know what "idleness" meant, and leisure was far from her reach. During this period, she was busy every day.

What's even more perplexing is that, despite not holding any position in the village committee, the village head and the village committee have set their sights on her.
