Chapter 13 Return with a Full Load



Hua Hanbin thinks his sister is amazing.

When the knife flashed, the fish were processed one by one.

While Hua Xinuo was processing these fish, she was also thinking that if there were enough seasonings, she could also make a rack to sell grilled fish.

If you sell grilled fish, even small fish can be grilled and eaten.

However, if you want to grill fish, you will need a wire mesh grill and charcoal.

Buying charcoal also costs money.

So for now, it’s more cost-effective to make steamed buns and fish balls.

Moreover, in spring, people may not be keen on eating grilled fish and skewers.

Summer is the season for eating barbecue.

Maybe we can build a shed at the dock, put some tables and chairs underneath, and sell barbecued skewers.

There are almost no stalls at the pier at night.

Generally, there are the most people from morning to mid-afternoon, and there are also many people setting up stalls.

So no one fights for space at night.

This is just Hua Xinuo's idea. What kind of business he will do in the future depends on the specific situation.

When Hua Hanmao came back from selling the fish, he happily shared it with his brothers and sisters, "Two fish, and I sold them for sixty-two coins!"

Hua Hanmao held the purse carefully, and there were sixty-two coins in the purse.

Hua Hanbin smiled brightly when he heard this, "Today our family has earned 382 wen, almost 400 wen."

"Yes, this is something I never dared to think about before."

"Usually our family doesn't have this much work even if we work all day long."

"Yes, sometimes I earn forty or fifty coins at most, and sometimes only a few coins."

In comparison, today is really a good harvest.

So Hua Hanmao and Hua Hanbin were very happy.

After a short conversation, Hua Hanbin looked around and said, "Luckily this place is remote and an open-air stall, so there's no one around. Otherwise, if someone else found this great spot, they'd probably set up a cage too."

There are actually quite a few fish in the river, but there are also many fishermen who make a living by fishing with nets, and sometimes they catch few fish.

Hua Hanbin was naturally worried about this.

Hua Xinuo said, "Don't worry, second brother. No one can find this place for the time being."

Even if they find out, it’s okay, because we don’t have bait made from spiritual spring water anyway.

In fact, you can catch fish wherever you put the bait.

But Hua Xinuo felt that it was safer in this remote wild stall and would not be easily discovered.

Seeing that it was getting late, the three siblings carried their things and headed home.

Their buckets were covered with grass, so no one could see what was in them.

But he was holding a net bag, which was filled with small fish and was not very noticeable.

Sure enough, when they came back, they saw their own boat at the ferry, already moored nearby.

As soon as they saw their own boat, the eldest and second brothers almost stood up and walked, eager to go home.

I wish I could go home right away and share my joy with my parents.

However, Hua Hanmao took good care of his sister, walked slowly, and waited for Hua Xinuo.

Hua Xinuo was also helpless. This body was seven and a half years old, still a child. Even if she ran, she would still walk slowly.

The three brothers and sisters returned home.

Qiu Wenqin had already started cooking. She made cornmeal porridge and stewed a few small fish.

Our daily meals at home are so simple.

Qiu Wenqin said, "Your father and I went to cast the net this afternoon, but we only caught a few small fish. Fortunately, you guys set up the cages and caught the fish and sold them for money."

Otherwise, there would be no gain for the whole day, and Qiu Wenqin and Hua Xinhong would be under a lot of pressure.

Hua Xinhong is not in good health now, so Qiu Wenqin is the one who sets the nets to catch fish.

Qiu Wenqin naturally felt stressed because she didn't get any results online.

Hua Xinuo came to the cabin and saw that there were indeed a few small fish in the bucket.

Hua Hanmao quietly handed the purse to Qiu Wenqin and said in a low voice, "Mom, don't worry. This afternoon we went to the lower cage and found two big fish. I took them to the restaurant and sold them. I got sixty-two coins."

Qiu Wenqin was stunned when she heard this, and even suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

When he opened the purse and saw the copper coins inside, Qiu Wenqin's hands trembled.

Her heart began to beat faster and she felt an indescribable excitement.

This will be right inside the cabin and no one will see it.

She poured the copper coins from her purse onto the table and began to count them one by one.

"One cent, two cents... sixty-two cents!"

Qiu Wenqin felt warm in her heart and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mom, don't cry!"

Qiu Wenqin held back her tears and said with a smile, "Mom is happy."

"You guys are great. With this money, our family will have a much easier time this month."

They make a living by fishing every day. If they catch few fish or no fish one day, they will feel stressed and worry about what to eat next.

She also knew that her two sons were at their most hungry when they were teenagers, but they could only eat half full at each meal, so they looked very thin.

Qiu Wenqin felt a little guilty.

Now when I think about the fact that I earned almost four hundred coins today, I feel a sense of relief.

Although Hua Xinhong was somewhat surprised, he felt a sense of pride. He looked at his two sons lovingly and said, "You are very capable. You have grown up without us noticing and can now help your parents with their worries."

"Your mother and I have been fishing for so many years, but we've never made more than three or four hundred coins in a single day."

"As expected, the disciple surpasses the master."

Although Hua Hanmao was happy to be praised by his father, he said matter-of-factly, "Dad and Mom, this was my sister's idea. Otherwise, how would we have known that we could catch so many fish by setting up a cage over there?"

"Yes, my sister is still the best." Hua Hanbin also shared this opinion.
