I went to the city to buy king clams twice today, and the quality was good both times.
Fu Qing made a rough calculation and figured it would cost more than a thousand yuan.
"Mom, have you sold enough for 1,000 yuan?"
Qin Mahua took out the account book and was about to show it to Fu Qing, but suddenly took it back and said, "Xiao Xuan, guess what you want too."
Chu Xuan guessed cheerfully, "1050 yuan."
Qin Mahua then handed over the account book, "Look carefully, both of you."
Fu Qing and Chu Xuan reached for the account book almost at the same time.
Chu Xuan quickly withdrew her hand, "Sister-in-law, you take a look first."
Fu Qing took the account book and placed it in front of Chu Xuan, "Let's look at it together."
The account book clearly stated: The first trip of king clams cost 460 yuan, the second trip cost 795 yuan, a total of 1255 yuan. After deducting the 95 yuan cost of collecting the king clams, there was still 1165 yuan left.
Qin Mahua took out a stack of money from his pocket and put it in Fu Qing's hand.
"This is 1165 yuan, divide it between you two!"
Fu Qing quickly said, "Mom, the difference in price from the king clams we collected should belong to the family."
Chu Xuan also expressed his attitude, "Sister-in-law is right."
Qin Mahua smiled amiably, "Your father and I have discussed this. We only want to cover the cost and not the difference. I'm sleepy. I'll go back to my room and sleep. You two can divide the money slowly."
Fu Qing and Chu Xuan thanked their mother-in-law and watched her return to her bedroom before they began to divide the money.
582.5 yuan per person.
After dividing the money, Fu Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Xuan, I feel like I've been benefiting from following you these past two days! Your shipping business is really booming."
More than a month ago, she went to the beach alone, but her cumulative income was not as much as she earned today.
Chu Xuan covered her mouth and laughed, "It's just a coincidence. I choose the days with high tide and good fishing, so naturally there are more fish than usual. Sister-in-law, I'll go back to the house and help Chen Ze pour water for washing his feet."
Turned around and walked to the main room.
"Is that so?" Fu Qing muttered softly, "I've been to the Dachao Stream alone before, and there were only clams and the like, but no king clams!"
Turn off the lights in the main room, go back to your room to get a footbath, and go to the kitchen to get some hot water to soak your feet...
At 6:30 the next morning, Mu Chenfu hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the dock to meet Lin Yong.
Mu Chenze can sleep in today and go to the dock in the afternoon to wait for the ocean fishing boat.
After Chu Xuan got up, she didn't wake him up.
After washing up and having breakfast, I took out the pork tenderloin from the refrigerator and took it with me.
I went to my mother’s yard to try making new bread.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Mu Chenze came to help.
"Wife, what kind of bread are you going to bake today?"
Chu Xuan responded softly, "Meat floss bread, spicy, sweet, and salty-sweet, three flavors."
I prepared pork tenderloin, ginger, cooking wine, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sugar, etc. in advance, planning to make my own meat floss.
At this point the tenderloin pieces are cooked and enter the pounding stage.
Mu Chenze came at the right time and could do this job.
Chu Xuan taught him how to pound the meat, and he chatted with him while pounding the cooked meat with a thick rolling pin.
"Wife, did our mother also teach you how to make pork floss?"
"That's right."
"We need to find time to break up the concrete floor in the middle of the yard, Chu Dashan said..."
There was no time to discuss this matter yesterday. Today, when there was no one else around, Chu Xuan explained in detail what Chu Dashan mentioned.
After listening to this, Mu Chenze decided to break up the concrete floor and dig out gold bars tonight.
However, the sound of something hitting the ground is likely to attract patrols.
I plan to contact Min Yi after I dig up gold bars.
Before they could finish discussing it, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Chenze continued to pound the cooked meat.
Chu Xuan went to open the door.
It was Aunt Li next door who was laying the foundation.
"Xiao Xuan, can I borrow your shovel? Return it before 5 pm?"
"No problem, Aunt Li, I'll get it for you."
"Thank you! Your family is cooking, and my shoes are all muddy, so I won't go in. I'll wait at the door."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan knew that Aunt Li was a polite person.
Soon, Chu Xuan brought a shovel and handed it to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li thanked him again, took the shovel, and then asked, "What are you guys smashing up? Are you tearing down the kitchen?"
After hearing this, Mu Chenze deliberately ran to the kitchen door and waved a thick rolling pin. "I'm pounding the meat floss. It will take several hours. My wife plans to make a new product, meat floss bread. Once it's done, I'll treat you to some."
Aunt Li waved her hands repeatedly, "No need to treat me to food, I'll buy it when the time comes."
"Okay, you're welcome to buy!"
After Mu Chenze finished speaking, he returned to the kitchen to continue pounding the cooked meat, and the clanging sound rang out again.
Aunt Li said to Chu Xuan, "If you're hitting it like this, the stove will definitely be destroyed. Hit the concrete floor. Put something on the concrete floor and then hit it again."
"Thank you for your suggestion. I'll have Chen Ze move to the yard to beat the meat floss."
"Why are you being so polite? Let's go!"
Aunt Li left with a shovel.
Chu Xuan spread a blanket on the cement floor, and then a few layers of clean paper. "Ze, if the stove really gets cracked, let's go to the yard and beat the meat floss!"
Mu Chenze instantly came up with an idea and informed Grandpa Wang in advance not to let the village patrol team come here tonight.
If someone heard the sound of pounding the ground and asked about it, he would say that Xiaoxuan and he were making meat floss bread all night long, and they had to pound the meat floss for a long time.
Anyway, the villagers live far away from here, so the sound of hitting the ground is not so harsh to their ears.
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Mu Chenze went to find Wang Depin.
Chu Xuan took the tools for going to the beach to meet up with Fu Qing and Qin Mahua, and together they rushed to the secret beach-hunting location.
When we got there, the tide had already begun to recede.
Some razor clam holes were exposed, but obviously fewer than the previous two days.
I guess there will be even less tomorrow, or even nothing.
The three of them are contented people and will take whatever they can catch.
An hour later, each of them had filled half a backpack.
It is difficult to find the King Clam Cave on the beach.
The three of them walked towards a dozen tide pools.
In one of the tide pools there was a giant Spanish mackerel about a meter long.
Fu Qing exclaimed, "This is the biggest mackerel I've ever encountered since I went fishing."
Qin Mahua's face lit up with joy. "Our fishing boats rarely catch such a big mackerel!"
Chu Xuan had encountered one before, but that was sent by a blue whale with the help of the waves.
Blue whales generally don't appear here this month.
However, she still looked towards the sea.
No blue whales were seen.
It seems that this time it was not sent by Blue Whale.
He looked away, smiling, "It seems the three of us are lucky."
The three of them worked together to get the big mackerel out of the tide pool and put it on the beach.
There are octopuses, clams, oysters and other things in other tide pools, which we all take.
The big mackerel must have weighed about 50 kilograms, and Fu Qing volunteered to carry it.
Chu Xuan was about to pour all the seafood from his sister-in-law's backpack into his own, but Qin Mahua snatched it away.
"Half each."
Qin Mahua said this, but poured more than half into her own backpack and less than half into Chu Xuan's backpack.
Chu Xuan felt warm in her heart. Her sister-in-law and mother-in-law both rushed to do the heavy work, leaving the lightest backpack for her.
"On the way back, my sister-in-law and I will take turns carrying the big mackerel. Let's go ashore and try our luck in the bushes. Maybe we can catch some sea ducks."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of sea ducks flew onto the beach to look for food.
The three of them put down their backpacks and approached quietly.
Today the group of sea ducks were very alert and fled before the three of them could reach out to grab them.
The three of them had no choice but to return to the shore with their backpacks and try their luck in the woods...
