Chapter 39: Sea Freight Can't Compare
Is Chu Xuan afraid?
Not afraid at all.
Because she knew Grandma Gao's family too well.
He took Gao Meijuan's arm and responded cheerfully, "Of course I'm not afraid! I'm also thinking that when we become bigger and stronger, I'll discuss opening a grilled fish fillet factory with Grandpa Wang. When the time comes, the village will invest, and we can all invest too..."
Looking forward to the future.
Gao Meijuan was full of confidence. "I believe this day will come sooner or later! Then you can ask Grandpa Wang to mobilize the whole village to invest! Who knows, it might even make the whole village rich."
Now, Gao Meijuan is more motivated.
Chu Xuan went to chat with Widow Wang for a while.
The main thing was that she was given the job of pulling a thousand kilograms of skinned fish from Li Tong's stall, and she was paid an extra dime a day.
Widow Wang was so happy to earn more money! She chopped wood even faster.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Ping brought 500 kilograms of skinned fish on a cart.
I specifically thanked Chu Xuan in a low voice for the steamed buns.
After unloading the car and having a big bowl of mung bean soup, I said goodbye and left.
Chu Feng moved a bench and sat down to kill the fish, but was stopped by Chu Xuan.
"Xiao Feng, go to the house and rest for a while. I'm here."
Her younger brother only slept for more than four hours at night, and she felt a little distressed.
Chu Feng patted his chest and said, "I am a man, I am not afraid of being tired!"
"You're still growing, so be obedient and rest, or I won't assign you any work or pay you anymore."
Successfully persuaded Chu Feng to go back to his room to rest.
Chu Xuan sat down to process the fish. Half an hour later, Liu Zhaodi, Miao Dacui and Wang Shasha came over to work.
At around six o'clock, all the skinned fish were cleaned.
After receiving their wages, Widow Niu, Wang Shasha and Liu Zhaodi went home to rest, while Gao Meijuan and Miao Dacui watched the fire.
By this time, Chu Feng had woken up and was in charge of pickling.
Chu Xuan is of no use.
Chu Xuan said hello and went out with his sea-hunting tools and flashlight.
It’s not dark yet, so the flashlight will come in handy when I come back.
Since she had promised Mu Chenze that she could only go to the secret place to catch seafood during the day, she didn't plan to go today.
Walk towards the village beach.
When they reached the beach, the tide was receding, but the reef had not yet completely receded, so Chu Xuan did not rush over.
I picked up half a bucket of clams and snails before heading towards the reef...
There are not many people here at the reef today. Maybe there haven't been any good things recently, so people don't come here to waste their time.
Chu Xuan wanted to try his luck.
After turning over a few rocks, I only found a few crabs the size of a fingernail, which I released immediately.
I also found a small noodle fish trying to burrow into the sand. It was only three centimeters long and not big enough to fill the gaps between our teeth, so I didn't catch it.
This fish can generally grow to six to ten centimeters, has no bones or thorns, and its meat is fresh and delicious.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan suddenly wanted to eat fish noodles, but she had to avoid certain foods because she was taking Chinese medicine.
Continue walking forward until you reach a small tide pool.
What you think will come true.
There is a group of noodle fish in it. She can’t eat it at the moment, but she can take it back and give it to her younger brother.
We used a hand net to catch more than a hundred fish and put them into the bucket.
Basically, they are adult fish of six or seven centimeters.
I plan to go home and coat it in batter and deep-fry it.
After searching for a while, I found a small octopus, a cat's eye snail, and some small white clams.
There was no big cargo, so Chu Xuan prepared to go back. He looked up at the sea and shone a flashlight on it.
I happened to see a cutlassfish that had just been stranded.
I hurried over to check and found that the hairtail fish was quite fresh.
It is about 80 cm long and more than 10 cm wide.
Taking it home was another delicious meal, even though she could only look at it and not eat it, so she still put it in the bucket.
When Chu Xuan was walking back with the bucket, he happened to see Liu Zhaodi leading Erleng picking clams on the beach.
Just as she was about to say hello, Erleng spoke first, "Hello, Sister Xuan! Thank you!"
Chu Xuan was a little confused for a moment. What was there to thank him for?
Liu Zhaodi hurriedly explained in a low voice, "This kid ate the steamed buns you gave him and remembers your kindness. He also said he wants to come to your house with me to work tomorrow and he absolutely doesn't want any wages."
She was too embarrassed to say, "Just provide the meals."
Chu Xuan responded cheerfully, "Erleng, come to my house to work tomorrow, and you must ask for your wages."
Erleng waved his hands repeatedly, "No wages, just food."
If I eat one less meal at home, I can save the food for my mother and Sanleng.
Chu Xuan understood what he was thinking, "Okay! Meals are provided!"
Erleng happily spun around in circles.
Chu Xuan looked into the distance and said, "The tide is rising. Let's go home quickly!"
"good!"
Liu Zhaodi held Erleng with one hand and carried the bucket with the other.
Chu Xuan took a look and saw only half a bucket of clams in it.
Liu Zhaodi is not doing well with sea shipping recently!
Liu Zhaodi seemed to see what Chu Xuan was thinking. As she walked towards the shore, she said, "Sister Xuan, to be honest, the time Chu Feng stole our seafood was the best harvest I've ever had in all these years of fishing. My family can't make a living just by fishing. Thanks to you for being willing to use me, I have money to buy pork and eggs for my family these past few days..."
Chu Xuan clenched his fists and cheered, "Let's work hard together, and our lives will get better and better in the future!"
Liu Zhaodi's siblings also followed her example and shouted that they would work hard together and get better and better.
Chu Xuan sighed in her heart, compared with Liu Zhaodi, her sea transportation was really amazing.
After chatting for a few more minutes, they reached the shore and went home.
After returning home, Chu Feng ran out to see his sister's harvest from the sea.
When I saw the big hairtail, I couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister, you are so awesome! You caught another big hairtail. I was just craving hairtail today."
Chu Xuan said generously, "I'll give you a snack tonight."
Miao Dacui was watching the fire in the kitchen, while Gao Meijuan had gone home to rest.
When Miao Dacui heard this, she quickly shouted, "Save it for Xiaofeng to nourish his body. I'll just eat the mixed flour buns later."
Chu Xuan had lunch late and was not hungry when she went out, so she had dinner later.
This would be perfect for dinner.
Chu Xuan didn't care what Miao Dacui said and just cooked dinner.
Save the clams and conches for tomorrow.
While cooking, Chu Feng heated up the Chinese medicine for Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan took it and drank it all without frowning.
Miao Dacui saw it and expressed her admiration.
In less than an hour, braised hairtail, batter-coated fried fish and octopus, white noodle dumpling soup, and a plate of pork and vegetable stir-fry were served.
Chu Feng bought two taels of pork, considering that his sister couldn't eat seafood because she was taking Chinese medicine.
Chu Xuan filled a bowl with braised hairtail fish and fried fish noodles and sent Chu Feng to deliver them to Grandma Gao.
Miao Dacui was so anxious that she kept shouting, "No, we eat at your house every day, we can't do this..."
With the big guy Chu Xuan blocking her way, she had no chance to stop Chu Feng and had to give up.
After dinner, all the grilled fish fillets were just out of the oven.
After finishing the work, Chu Xuan went out with Miao Dacui.
It wasn't that he was specifically sending Miao Dacui home, but rather he was looking for Grandpa Wang to coordinate a tractor.
Halfway through her journey, she saw a familiar figure.
It’s Ji Ping.
Ji Ping didn't shy away from Miao Dacui and said directly, "Chu Xuan, do you want to drive a tractor to the city? It's too slow! A friend of mine asked me to talk to you about transportation."
Miao Dacui didn't know much about transportation and didn't say much. But she also knew that Ji Ping was a good person, so she tactfully went home and gave them space to talk.
Chu Xuan whispered to Ji Ping, "Which friend of yours asked you to come and talk? Why didn't he come himself?"
