The black plastic bag contained a piece of Huazi and other materials for renovating the house.
"Huh?" Zheng Shantong was stunned for a moment when he saw the contents of the plastic bag. Then, the wrinkles on his face opened up, but he was still complaining.
"We are all family, what is this for?"
"Oh, you are my fifth uncle. How can a child of mine come to visit his elders empty-handed? If I come empty-handed, the villagers will laugh at me to death." Zheng Gan said with a grin.
Zheng Shantong smiled even more happily, "Okay, but don't do it again next time." Then he casually put Huazi in the drawer.
“Come on, let’s go to the brigade office and give them the information about your house. Then I’ll introduce you to them. You’ll live in the village in the future. When I’m not around, you can go to them if you have any problems.
Don't underestimate the role of Yitiao Huazi. Not all village Party secretaries are as all-powerful as those shown on TV. People just want to maintain their reputation. Many times, it's not that I lack this little something from you, but you ask me to do something so casually? This shows that you don't value me and don't give me face.
Zheng Gan naturally understood what Zheng Shantong meant. As the saying goes, it is easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils. Even if they are from the same village, they still have to build a good relationship with each other.
When they arrived at the brigade office, Zheng Gan enthusiastically distributed cigarettes to everyone. He also spoke nicely, so they all said they would come to him if they had any problems in the future.
However, the formalities still need to be completed. Zheng Shantong said that the process will be expedited and asked Zheng Gan to wait for notification.
After settling the house issue, Zheng Gan hummed a song as he strolled back to Lin Hao's house.
"Brother Gan, I have a suggestion." Lin Hao said after seeing Zheng Gan.
"What suggestions?"
"My dad's friends are going sea fishing tomorrow. They'll pass by that uninhabited island. Do you think we can go there and take a look?"
Zheng Gan didn't react at first, but then his eyes lit up, "Go, I must go."
There are people going to the seafood-hunting area on the beach almost every time the tide goes out, but there are very few people going to the uninhabited island in the east. After all, you have to take a boat to get there, and occasionally only some tourists will rent a boat to have fun.
He and Lin Hao had been there when he was a child. There was a large reef area there, and a lot of things could be caught even without the tide going out. The seafood resources were definitely more than those at the seaside.
"When do we set off tomorrow?" Zheng Gan asked.
"Leave at six in the morning."
"Okay, then let's not go to the beach tonight. Get some rest and we'll go tomorrow."
In fact, Zheng Gan also wanted to go sea fishing, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait a few days. He planned to rent a boat with Lin Hao. Lin Hao could also drive a small boat, and he was mainly afraid that he would get too many things and arouse suspicion from others.
In the evening, they told Lin Gang and his wife about their idea of going out to the island to catch seafood. Lin Gang didn't care, but Wu Sujuan almost exploded again. Fortunately, Zheng Gan said a lot of nice things and repeatedly assured them to be careful, which calmed Wu Sujuan's anger.
......
At six o'clock the next morning, Zheng Gan and Lin Hao arrived at the village dock on time with their equipment.
This time we went sea fishing on a boat owned by Lin Gang's friend, who is in the business of sea fishing. Every time he takes people out sea fishing, he charges 200 yuan if you bring your own tools, and 400 yuan if you don't. The boat is not big, but everything is prepared very well, and the kitchen facilities are all available. If you want to eat fish after catching them, you can cook it on the spot.
Zheng Gan and Lin Hao were not going sea fishing, they just wanted to use the boat. The boat owner didn't intend to charge money for Lin Gang's sake, but Zheng Gan didn't want to owe him such a favor, so he forced two hundred yuan on the boat owner as the boat fee for the two of them.
The two of them prepared a lot of things for this sea-hunting trip. They had all the necessary equipment, several large snakeskin bags, and brought a lot of lunch and water.
At around eight o'clock, the two got off the boat and came to this uninhabited island. After agreeing with the boat owner to wait there at four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Gan and Lin Hao began to put on their equipment.
The island is not very large, and the two's main target is the large reef area on the east side.
"Haozi, there is no one here. Let's pick up the trash separately. You go to the east and I go to the west. Don't pick up the junk." Zheng Gan said.
Many people like to pick up small sea snails when they go to the beach. They taste okay and can be eaten as a snack, but they only sell for ten yuan per pound. For them, it is not worth picking them up at all. It is too troublesome.
"Okay, Brother Gan, just leave it to me." Lin Hao was also stimulated by Zheng Gan's gains these days. He didn't want to just take money without doing any work every day.
Densely packed red dots, both large and small, have appeared on Zheng Gan's map, which has made Zheng Gan excited.
"Brother, there are so many seafood here. I bent down and picked up a big conch and some spicy snail nests." Lin Hao shouted excitedly.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and pick it up."
The scientific name of the spicy snail is Periwinkle (you with the second tone). It is not big in size, but tastes very delicious. It has a bitter and spicy taste when it first enters the mouth, and a sweet aftertaste. Especially after drinking a sip of water after eating it, you can clearly feel the sweet taste.
This kind of spicy snail is not cheap, and can be sold for fifteen yuan per pound. It is still very popular in coastal cities.
But Zheng Gan didn't want to pick it up because he picked up a good thing, abalone.
Abalone, like sea cucumbers, is a precious seafood. The abalone sold on the market are all farmed and relatively cheap. Small ones are only a few dollars each, but wild ones will be twice as expensive.
The bigger it is, the more valuable it is.
The abalone Zheng Gan found was a four-headed abalone, and he didn't know how much it cost. He could only say it was definitely not cheap.
