Chapter 126 Taking Xiaofeng to the Sea
Sheng Damei looked triumphant.
What was unexpected was that Ji Ping had no intention of disturbing Chu Xuan at all. He was just taking a walk around the village.
Why would a single man and a single woman meet in the middle of the night?
He didn't want any rumors to spread.
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze arrived at Chu Xuan's house pulling a cart.
After loading the grilled fish fillets onto the cart, Chu Feng consciously ran back to his bedroom, leaving space for his sister and brother Chen Ze to talk.
Mu Chenze took out the passbook from his pocket.
"Please keep this one too. My mom almost found it. This is my secret money, saved for my wife in the future. Please take good care of it. My wife's happiness in the future depends on how well you take care of it."
Chu Xuan took it and saw the amount on the passbook in the light of the courtyard. "So much? Aunt Qin is so good to you, and you still hide so much private money?"
"This is the extra money I earned by sacrificing my rest time, so it's my own. My mother is really good to me, but she's very strict with money! She said that after I get married, my wife will manage the finances, and before then, she has to manage the money. If I don't get married before I'm 30, won't I be broke for years? What motivation would I have to earn money then?"
"What you said seems to make sense. All right! I'll keep it for you. Come and get it whenever you need it."
"Okay. Let's go!"
Mu Chenze pulled the cart away.
Today we have more than 240 kilograms of grilled fish fillets, so we will have no trouble selling them when we get to the city.
Chu Xuan watched him leave before locking the door, returning to the bedroom, and hiding the passbook.
Chu Feng did not eavesdrop, nor did he disturb Chu Xuan again.
Have a good night's sleep.
After getting up in the morning, Chu Xuan soaked some Chinese medicine, changed into sportswear and went out to exercise.
More than 20 minutes later, Chu Feng also got up and started to make breakfast and boil Chinese medicine.
After Chu Xuan came back from exercise and had breakfast, he waited for about half an hour for the Chinese medicine to be ready.
After it cooled down a bit, I blew on it and drank it.
I haven't weighed myself for a while. I plan to weigh myself after I finish selling my catch today to see how much I have lost.
After drinking the Chinese medicine, he went back to the house and changed into clothes for fishing. Just as he was preparing the fishing tools, Widow Niu came over with a cart of skinned fish.
She helped unload the goods.
After a while, Gao Meijuan and the others came to work.
Chu Xuan greeted them and took Chu Feng out to go fishing.
After watching the siblings leave, Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't go sea freight. When I have money to earn, I will definitely not go sea freight."
Hua Daling also said, "I don't have much experience with shipping. One time when I was fishing, I encountered a whirlpool. She picked up several mullet, but I didn't find a single one. People's luck is different. I still prefer killing fish."
Qin Mahua patted her legs and said, "I was afraid of getting a leg injury, so I never dared to go fishing."
Others also chatted for a while.
Anyway, it doesn't interfere with work, so we usually find a topic to chat while killing fish.
Half an hour later, Chu Xuan and her brother arrived at the secret spot for catching seafood.
The tide has receded.
There were a lot of common seafood on the beach that were worthless, such as clams. Chu Xuan didn't pick them up and went straight to the dozen or so tide pools.
Chu Feng wanted to pick it up, but seeing that his sister didn't stop, he immediately followed.
Chu Feng was so frightened by the seafood in the tide pool that he opened his mouth wide and forgot to help fish it out for a moment.
There are a lot of big conches, a few big sea bass, a group of shrimps, sea cucumbers...
Only after Chu Xuan's urging did Chu Feng come to his senses.
Half an hour later, the backpacks and buckets they each brought were filled with catches.
There are the most large conches.
On the way back, we also caught two sea ducks.
Chu Feng was carrying a full backpack, and Chu Xuan, in addition to carrying another backpack, also carried two buckets of seafood on a shoulder pole.
They walked around the mountain road towards the pier.
Chu Xuan was so tired that she was out of breath, and Chu Feng felt very distressed.
"Sister, let me pick it for a while."
He pretended to grab the carrying pole.
Chu Xuan immediately stopped him, "Don't move! I can hold on! It's already impressive that you can carry the backpack with your small body."
After hearing this, Chu Feng wanted to grow taller and stronger quickly.
He has gained weight noticeably recently, grown a little taller, and become much stronger. In another six months, he will definitely be over 1.75 meters tall. He has confidence in himself.
I stopped talking to my sister. After all, talking wastes her energy.
More than twenty minutes later, they arrived at the dock.
Chu Xuan did not weigh the fish first, but weighed it first.
175 pounds, she has lost weight again.
Compared to 200 kilograms in June, she lost 25 kilograms.
She was very satisfied.
When Chu Feng saw the weight, his eyes turned red. "Sister, you've lost weight because you've been tired! You've worked so hard!"
Chu Xuan chuckled, "What are you thinking! You think being tired will make you lose weight? Wrong! Some people get fatter the more tired they are. Have you forgotten how much work Feng Chunhua made me do in the past? I could only sleep five or six hours a day. Back then, I was even more tired than I am now. Not only did I not lose weight, I even got fatter. I'm calling this healthy weight loss, understand?"
After hearing this, Chu Feng finally came to his senses.
"Then be thinner and healthier."
By this time, Li Tong had finished checking the fish brought by Chu Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, here I sell large conch for 50 cents a pound, sea bass for 1.5 yuan a pound, and sea cucumbers for 3 yuan a pound... If you think the price is not right, have someone take it to the city and sell it. The price should be doubled. If you want to use ice, just let me know."
Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment and was about to sell it to Li Tong.
Min San walked over and said, "Hey, aren't Boss Li and Boss Chu good partners? Boss Li, why don't you just double the price for Boss Chu's fish? Why make him go all the way to the city?"
Chu Xuan could see that Min San was deliberately trying to sow discord. "I'm happy to sell the fish to Boss Li at a low price. What's wrong with that?"
These words successfully blocked Min San's words.
Li Tong also saw Min San's ill intentions, "Min San, when you have time, you should keep an eye on your stall! Aren't you afraid that other competitors will throw dirty things into your fish? You've offended a lot of people."
Someone happened to be approaching Min San's stall, and Min San hurried over.
Li Tong glanced at Chu Xuan and asked with a smile, "Are you really going to sell it to me?"
"Then what's fake? Weigh it!"
With such a small amount of fish, it’s not worth it for the local people to trouble Mu Chenze to go to the city to sell it on their behalf.
Li Tong happily weighed the fish.
The large conch weighs 148 jin, which is 75 yuan if it weighs 150 jin.
49 jin of sea bass, calculated as 50 jin, costs 75 yuan.
20 kilograms of sea cucumbers, 60 yuan.
There are other things that add up to 15 dollars.
After weighing several items, I calculated the total price to be 225 yuan.
Chu Feng got the money and counted it carefully twice.
This makes more money than fishing at sea.
As for the two sea ducks, take them home to add to the dishes.
Li Tong teased, "Xiao Xuan, you either don't go fishing or you can have a good harvest!"
Chu Xuan had indeed not gone to the beach for a long time. "This is God saving it for me. If I go to the beach again tomorrow, there might not be this much."
"That's not certain. People are coming to catch the sea freight, and you can't stop them. Try your luck tomorrow."
"Let's look at the time. Let's go!"
Chu Xuan and her brother left the dock with Haiya and met Sheng Damei on their way home.
Sheng Damei put her hands on her hips, not remembering the embarrassment she felt when Chu Xuan dragged her away. "Chu Xuan, what have you thought about?"
