Chapter 79 Decompression
Liu Zhaodi was just a child of twelve or thirteen years old, and she had no deterrent effect on Feng Chunhua.
"I won't sign any written agreement. This is just a verbal agreement between us. If you don't want to help me, just give me back the hundred dollars!"
Liu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright then! Let's make a verbal agreement. You can't lie to me."
"Don't worry! I won't cheat you. After the job is done, I'll give you another 900 yuan!"
Feng Chunhua left with a smug smile on her face.
Liu Zhaodi's hand holding the money was shaking a little.
After returning home, she gave some instructions to her mother, Erleng and Sanleng before leaving.
He didn't notice Chu Xuan hiding behind the wall.
Chu Xuan still couldn't believe that Liu Zhaodi actually accepted Feng Chunhua's money.
In her previous life, Liu Zhaodi would repay kindness and revenge. Will Liu Zhaodi repay kindness with revenge in this life?
Chu Xuan continued to walk briskly around the village to exercise.
I returned home an hour later, sweating all over.
He said hello to everyone in the yard, went back to the house, wiped himself down briefly, changed into dry clothes, and walked into the kitchen.
Xiao Feng had already prepared a bowl of Chinese medicine for her, at just the right temperature.
She picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
Then she picked up the enamel pot, drank a sip of boiled water to suppress the smell of the medicine, and the widow Niu, who had just come back from chopping firewood, threw a bundle of firewood on the ground.
"Xiao Xuan, you're finally back. I have something to tell you!"
Chu Xuan could guess what she was going to say and pointed to her bedroom, "Let's talk inside."
Widow Niu said carelessly, "I'm covered in firewood and wood chips, which will make your house dirty. Just say it here, today..."
Before she could finish, Chu Xuan covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Aunt Niu, if you have anything to say, please go to my room and talk."
At this time, Liu Zhaodi was killing fish in the yard.
In fact, the person Chu Xuan most wanted to talk to was Liu Zhaodi.
After Chu Xuan's repeated invitation, Widow Niu followed her to the bedroom somewhat embarrassedly.
The two talked in a low voice for more than ten minutes. After Chu Xuan's repeated instructions, Widow Niu did not mention Feng Chunhua looking for her after leaving the house. Instead, she explained to everyone that she was a little short of money and asked Chu Xuan to borrow money.
Liu Zhaodi still killed the fish very quickly, and didn't seem to have anything on her mind.
Chu Xuan was busy while waiting until 10:30 in the morning, but Liu Zhaodi still did not take the initiative to talk to her about Feng Chunhua.
So I didn't wait any longer, said goodbye to my younger brother, put on my backpack and went out to catch seafood.
We still have to take a detour up the mountain to get to the secret spot for catching seafood.
We arrived at the beach around 11 o'clock and the tide was just beginning to recede.
Some of the clam holes have been exposed.
Chu Xuan sprinkled salt on him.
The razor clams that came out were not as big as yesterday's, and were only as thin as a little finger.
This won't fetch a good price.
After catching more than twenty, I stopped catching them.
Get up and follow the receding tide.
From time to time, you can see some clams the size of a fingernail, but Chu Xuan looks down on them.
Suddenly I found a sea bass about 40 centimeters long trying to swim towards the receding tide.
Chu Xuan didn't care that his shoes were soaked by the sea water and ran over with a hand net.
It was easy to catch it and put it into the wooden barrel in the backpack.
Keep following the water.
I picked up a three-meter-long kelp, and a little later, I picked up another two-meter-long one.
Both of these kelp are very fresh.
Kelp can resist radiation, lose weight and detoxify, and promote calcium absorption. If you can’t eat it, you can dry it and store it.
Chu Xuan hopes more people will come.
It seemed as if God heard her thoughts, and when she looked at the sea, she saw many kelp.
Half an hour later, he had picked up a whole basket of stuff.
Just then, a dozen or so tide pools were exposed, so I went over to check them out.
We only caught more than twenty octopuses and a dozen fist-sized conchs, and the rest were small fish fry, small clams and the like.
Chu Xuan didn't fish it out.
At this moment, Mu Chenze's voice came from behind, "How's your luck today?"
Chu Xuan turned to look at him, a look of satisfaction on her face. "That's great! I picked up a lot of my favorite kelp. Why didn't you catch up on some sleep at home?"
Mu Chenze was in good spirits. "I've already caught up on some sleep. I sold all the goods at four in the morning today, and Brother Lin happened to take a delivery job back to our town, so he brought me back. It wasn't even six when I got home, and I slept for over five hours. When I woke up, I couldn't fall asleep again, so I came to check on you. I changed into some old clothes today, so I could find a few more sea ducks."
"Selling so fast today? Did the grilled fish fillet meet a big customer?"
"Indeed. Do you still remember Lian Mei?"
"I remember. Could it be that her family bought it?"
"No. But she was the one who made the connection. Her relative bought it, and she bought 150 kilograms at once. Her relative is from another city, and she wants to take it back and try to sell it. If it sells well, she will call Lian Mei and ask her to help with the purchase and then arrange for a long-distance truck to ship it."
"Great! By the way, did you give Lian Mei a commission?"
"I did. Privately. Five cents per pound. I gave her seven dollars and fifty cents."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat sea duck landed on the reef not far away.
Mu Chenze stepped forward swiftly and grabbed it.
Chu Xuan gave him a thumbs up.
Mu Chenze held the duck in one hand and took out a hemp rope from his pocket with the other hand. He tied it up in no time and put it into Chu Xuan's wooden barrel.
"Just a few more minutes of surfing, and then we'll go ashore."
"good."
Mu Chenze found a bulge and dug it up. It turned out to be a cat's eye snail. He picked it up and squeezed the snail meat hard. Water splashed everywhere. It looked very relaxing.
Chu Xuan also found a cat's eye snail and imitated him to tease it.
The two people smiled at each other.
Mu Chenze pointed to his pocket, a look of delight on his face. "Here's the money from selling the king clams and grilled fish fillets. Guess how much the king clams sold for?"
Chu Xuan held up three fingers, "Three hundred dollars?"
"Wrong. Guess again. Here's a hint: I sold it to a group of foreigners. I didn't take the opportunity to raise the price. They insisted on paying so much. They said this king clam was worth that much."
"Could it be six hundred yuan?"
“That’s right!”
Chu Xuan was very excited.
He clearly remembered that Mu Chenze had not met any foreigners at this time in his previous life. Perhaps it was his rebirth that changed some things.
In about ten minutes, they found more than thirty cat's eye snails, enough for stir-frying.
The tide was about to rise, so they headed back with their catch.
When he arrived at the coast, Mu Chenze looked everywhere for sea ducks, but unfortunately, he didn't find any.
Not even any sea duck eggs were found.
Chu Xuan jokingly said, "Could it be that the sea duck eggs were lost yesterday and the sea ducks have learned their lesson?"
Mu Chenze was in a good mood. "I can't rule out this possibility. Since there's only one duck, why don't you take it to the dock and sell it so we can split the money!"
You say one thing and I say another.
"Sell it to me! I'll buy it back to make a meal for everyone."
"You're such a good boss. How about this? I'll sell it to you for two dollars."
"Mu Chenze, don't think I don't know the market. Live ducks are four or five yuan per catty. This one weighs at least three catties..."
"I said two dollars a piece, so I'll sell it for two dollars! Besides, you get a share of this live duck."
"I really admire you! Why do I feel that you will choose to suffer the loss when you meet me?"
"Suffering a loss is a blessing. I'm happy to help you, my friend, isn't that okay?"
"Okay. Thank you!"
"You're welcome. If you want to thank me, could you do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
