Chapter 72 Selling Seafood
Wang Chuanling smiled and waved his hand politely at her: "No need, Xiao Zhang and I have already eaten in the cafeteria!"
Seeing that they really didn't look hungry, Song Shiwei was relieved and turned around with a smile: "Then wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
She went into the house, picked up the two buckets of seafood, put some money in them, and told Zhou Wei and Xinxin to be good at home. She and Sun Meimei had made an appointment to have the two children come to her place for lunch.
Just as he was giving instructions, Sun Meimei came out after hearing the noise.
Seeing the big jeep and Wang Chuanling and Xiao Zhang in front of the jeep, they greeted them with a smile.
"Oh, your family is really thoughtful! Let Chuanling take you there, and Xiao Zhang will go with you, so we feel relieved!"
After saying that, he waved to Zhou Wei and Xin Xin and said, "Come here, have lunch at Aunt Sun's house and play with your brother Shitou!"
Zhou Wei and Xinxin turned their heads to look at Song Shiwei, Zhou Cheng and the others. Although there was reluctance in their eyes, children have short memories. When they saw Shitou taking out the bullet shell that he picked up from the shooting range, the two children cheered and followed him into the house.
Sun Meimei smiled at Song Shi and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the two children!"
Song Shiwei had nothing to worry about, so she smiled and nodded: "Okay, do you, Sister Jian Qiu, Sister Chunxiang and the others want to take anything else? I'll bring it back for you in Qing City later!"
Sun Meimei thought for a moment and said, "Then help my son Shitou to bring a pair of cotton gloves. He gets colder and colder every day. We can never buy them at the service counter. Shitou's hands are always frozen and I can't wash them with snow water! As for Jian Qiu and Chunxiang, I asked them yesterday. Their children are grown up and the adults can make do. There's nothing to bring. You just need to take care of yourself and your kids!"
Song Shiwei took note of it and thought that if she had the chance, she would buy some frostbite cream for Shitou. She didn't know if these children had frozen hands before, so she could buy two more rolls to give the children preventive treatment in advance.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay! Don't worry! Then we'll go!"
Sun Meimei waved her hand: "Let's go, have a good trip!"
After getting in the car and leaving the family compound, Wang Chuanling couldn't help asking, "What's in this bucket?"
Song Shi smiled and replied, "I picked up some sea cucumbers and abalone at the beach. I wanted to see if anyone in Qingshi would buy them!"
Zhou Lin pouted and gestured: "There is also an extremely ugly anglerfish! That guy is really scary!"
Xiao Wang did listen to the chief's instructions, saying that his sister-in-law was going to Qing City to sell seafood, and his mission was to protect the safety of his sister-in-law and two children!
He originally thought that they were probably selling some ordinary fish, crabs, shrimps, etc., but he didn't expect that they were actually sea cucumbers and abalone!
Especially the anglerfish that Zhou Lin mentioned, which he had never heard of, he couldn't help but feel curious and stretched his neck to look into the bucket next to Song Shiwei's feet.
When he saw the fish, he was devastated.
What kind of monster is this? ? ? Why so ugly? It's quite scary!
Wang Chuanling had never heard of monkfish. He twisted his neck to look at the bucket under Song Shiwei's feet. The fish flapped its wings instantly and tried to jump out of the bucket with its mouth wide open!
He was so scared that the steering wheel shook.
Wow, this little thing is so unique!
Does anyone really want this thing? Is it delicious when cooked?
It just looks...well...scary!
On the way, Song Shiwei chatted with him and learned that his wife would also come to join the army in the next few days. She had been in her hometown before, and the couple had been separated for a long time, which was not very good.
They reported this to the higher authorities and the house was about to be approved. It was said to be the house behind their row.
Song Shiwei also said enthusiastically: "When my sister-in-law comes, come to my house for dinner, and I will welcome her and the children!"
Wang Chuanling was also very happy: "Okay, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you when the time comes! Fengxia is from a small place and doesn't know a lot of things. You'll have to take care of her more!"
Song Shiwei patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, if there is anything she doesn't understand, let her come to me!"
Wang Chuanling took them all the way to the dock before going to do his business.
Xiao Zhang bought the boat ticket and took the bucket from Song Shiwei.
"Sister-in-law, give it to me, I'll carry it!"
Originally, Song Shiwei didn't want to trouble him, but couldn't resist Xiao Zhang's enthusiasm, so she had to let him carry it.
There are two ferries here a day. If you miss this one, you will have to wait until the afternoon one, so Song Shiwei and her friends were lucky enough to arrive there. It is now around 7:50 and the first ship is about to depart.
It was the first time for the two children to travel far away, so everything they saw was new to them, and this was their first time riding on a ship.
Although it can't be compared with modern ships, it is already very good in this era.

Song Shiwei and Xiao Zhang took the two children to check their tickets and get on board. Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were so excited that they ran here and there on the boat and even went to the deck to take a look.
Looking at the endless sea across the way, the two children shouted excitedly: "Ah!!!!"
"ah!!!!"
Song Shi smiled brightly. This is the innocent world of children. It’s so wonderful!
Originally, Song Shiwei was worried that the two children would get seasick, but unexpectedly, they were still full of energy until they got off the boat.
When Song Shiwei arrived in Qing City, he wanted to hurry up and sell the seafood he had.
I took the children and Xiao Zhang to the state-owned restaurant.
She thought about it and decided to try her luck at a state-owned restaurant first. If she really couldn't sell it, she would go to the factory gates or staff quarters to ask if anyone wanted it.
After all, factory workers usually have some cotton coupons, cloth coupons and so on.
She didn't want money, she just wanted to exchange some tickets.
When they were almost at the state-owned hotel, Song Shiwei asked Xiao Zhang to watch the two children at the intersection while she planned to go and ask on her own.
When she entered the cafeteria carrying the bucket, she saw that it was empty and only a few people were eating. It might have been because it was not yet mealtime.
The state-owned restaurant here is not as big as the one in Beijing. It has about seven or eight tables. There are two windows on the left side when you enter the door, which are their kitchens. One window for taking orders, and the other window for serving food.
There were no waiters. After ordering the dishes and paying the bill, you just had to wait at the serving counter.

Song Shiwei carried the bucket directly to the ordering window.
There was a woman standing inside. She was not very old, probably about 27 or 28 years old. When she saw Song Shiwei coming over, she raised her eyelids slightly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm not here to eat. I just want to ask if your kitchen accepts seafood?"
The woman who was holding a pen and was about to help her issue the invoice suddenly became dissatisfied. She looked her up and down, then stretched her head to look at the bucket in front of her and rolled her eyes.
"No, no! I thought you were here to eat! Go away! I don't know where you got the seafood from. We in the state-owned restaurant won't accept just any rotten fish or shrimp!"
