Chapter 251 Seafood Trading

Ma Guilan's husband was the same. The new military region had just been established and tasks came one after another, and she was used to it.

"All soldiers are like this. When Pinggui was in the old military district, he was even busier than this. He often didn't appear for ten days, half a month, or even two or three months."

So, it is not easy to be a military wife. When the husband is not around, you have to take care of everything by yourself.

Moreover, if you go on a special mission, there will be danger.

Although Liu Yinyin didn't say it, she couldn't help but be worried in her heart. However, this was Gu Cheng's job, so she could only support it.

Don't think about all these nonsense, life must go on.

Liu Yinyin packed up and went out to buy groceries with Ma Guilan.

After spending a few days with Ma Guilan's two daughters, Tian Da Niu and Tian Er Niu, Gu Yanyan became very familiar with them.

No longer sticking to Liu Yinyin all the time.

The two little girls are also very sensible and know how to take care of others. Liu Yinyin feels more at ease when Gu Yanyan plays with them.

This is a military area, nothing will happen.

This time, Liu Yinyin did not bring Gu Yanyan with her.

They were not going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Ma Guilan was going to take her to the fishermen to exchange seafood today.

Ma Guilan thought, "Yinyin, next time when we have time, I will take you to the sea and pick some seafood to eat."

It also saves you money to buy it.

When Liu Yinyin heard about it, she was also quite interested: "Okay."

If it weren't for the cold weather, Liu Yinyin would actually like to go fishing by herself.

In her previous life, she could swim and her skills were pretty good, but now... according to her original body's memory, this body can't swim.

I don’t know if Gu Cheng can swim. If he can, I can ask him to teach me later.

The two went to the village closest to the troops, which was about the same distance as the supply and marketing cooperative.

The people in the village make a living by fishing, and 80 to 90 percent of the families are fishermen.

Ma Guilan whispered to Liu Yinyin, "Even though fishermen can't grow food or vegetables, they have the ability to catch fish, and many fishermen live as well as people outside."

Live by the sea, the sea contains extremely rich resources.

There was a famine two years ago, and in some places where the disaster was severe, many people starved to death.

But the fishermen in coastal areas are different. They are not greatly affected by natural disasters and make their living by fishing in the sea.

They had no shortage of food.

only....

Ma Guilan couldn't help but sigh: "Going out to sea to fish is also a dangerous thing. I heard from people in the village that many fishermen die at sea every year."

After all, they are risking their lives to make money.

The family that Ma Guilan went to exchange seafood for was named Zhao. The male owner was called Zhao Yuan. He was in his twenties, in the prime of his life. He was very strong when he went fishing, and he always had a good harvest.

Except for some seafood that was given to the village.

You can deal with the remaining seafood yourself. You can eat it at home or exchange it for other supplies.

Zhao Yuan was also a good housekeeper. He would pick out large and good-looking seafood and exchange them for food and daily necessities.

If the quality is not good, you can keep it for yourself, and the leftovers can be dried.

As soon as Liu Yinyin entered the Zhao family's gate, she saw various kinds of dried seafood drying in the yard.

Fish, shrimp, sea cucumber, kelp...

Liu Yinyin couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Sister, you're here..." Zhao Yuan saw Ma Guilan and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

He went fishing at sea all year round, and his face was dark from the wind and sun, making his teeth look unusually white.

Ma Guilan pulled Liu Yinyin forward and said, "Xiao Zhao, my sister is also here to visit relatives in the army. I want to exchange some seafood with you. Do you have any fresh food today?"

Zhao Yuan invited them to go into the pool next to them.

Shrimps, crabs and fish cannot live without sea water, so fishermen usually dig a small pond at home to store seafood.

In the pond, there are various kinds of shrimps, swimming crabs, small yellow croakers, and palm-sized abalones.

The quantity is not large, but the seafood is still fresh.

"You can choose whatever you want." said Zhao Yuan.

Knowing that both of them were military dependents visiting relatives, Zhao Yuan was not worried that they could not afford it.

Ma Guilan actually doesn’t like seafood very much, and she is not good at cooking shrimps and crabs.

But there are no other vegetables to buy here except seafood.

Ma Guilan picked a larger yellow croaker. This thing is quite easy to make.

It can be steamed or braised, both taste good.

Liu Yinyin was very excited when she saw the shrimps and crabs in the pond. Could she say that she wanted to buy them all?

Zhao Yuan's fish, shrimps and crabs are all sold very cheaply, just a few cents or one or two yuan per pound. Anyway, the most expensive one will not exceed two yuan.

It's really cheap.

Liu Yinyin hesitated for a while and picked out an eel and three large swimming crabs with roe, spending only two yuan and fifty cents, plus an industrial ticket.
