075: Your two sons
As soon as I finished chopping the shrimp here, Yu Jiahui brought over another bucket of shrimp.
Yu Xiaoye continued chopping.
I chopped up four nets of large shrimps and filled two five-liter pickle jars.
However, when adding salt in the last step, Yu Xiaoye was a little hesitant. She didn't know how much salt to put.
She specifically asked Yu Jiahui, but Yu Jiahui didn't know exactly how much salt to put in. He only knew that it had to be a lot, and the salt they already had was definitely not enough.
They only had a pound of coarse salt that they bought when they returned from the county town. There was also some salt in the kitchen of the yacht, but not much. All together, it was only a little more than a pound.
This salt is definitely not enough.
Shrimp paste is very salty and will go bad if not enough salt is added, so they also have to find a way to buy more salt.
Just buy enough salt, put it in the pickle jar and stir it, then put it in the sun to dry. It will take about half a month to dry and the shrimp paste will be almost ready.
When the time comes, I'll find a way to sell it and should be able to make a lot of money.
With money, they can buy things with confidence, such as new clothes, new shoes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, lamps, pots, pans, and quilts.
Buy another bottle of vanishing cream.
I bought the vanishing cream not to be vain, but because the weather is dry. If I don't apply anything on my face after washing it, my face will feel dry and uncomfortable. Buying some vanishing cream and applying it should make it feel better.
In short, there are too many things to buy, so I will wait until I make money to buy them all.
Yu Xiaoye chopped the shrimps from four nets, and Yu Jiahui cast the last net.
I kept the last prawns in the net for myself.
After eating enough fish, we move on to the prawns.
There are many ways to eat shrimp, such as marinating them raw, grilling them, braising them, making them into soup, and making them into shrimp balls.
In addition to shrimps and some fish, they also caught a lot of crabs. The crabs were also very large. After picking them out, they filled a small bucket.
Yu Jiahui also caught a sea turtle, weighing about seven or eight kilograms, but they didn't dare to eat it, so they released it.
At the end of the day, all the fish barrels, big and small, on the yacht were basically full.
These fish, shrimps and crabs will be enough for them to eat for a while, so they don’t need to go fishing in the next few days.
Yu Jiahui packed up the fishing net, tried his best to restore it to its original state, and waited to return it.
While catching fish, Yu Jiahui also grilled some fish.
The fish we grilled this time were all small fish, not much bigger than the palm of your hand.
They borrowed a fishing net to go fishing today and couldn't go back empty-handed. However, it was not easy to take the fish out of the sea directly. Otherwise, if they met someone who knew about it, they might be able to tell that the fish were not from the river.
So the father and daughter discussed and decided to find some fish of similar size, remove the heads and tails, and roast them directly. They deliberately used a high fire to make the fish pitch black so that no one could recognize what species they were.
A whole bamboo basket of fish was roasted, weighing about seven or eight pounds.
After doing all this, it was already evening.
The father and son then packed up their things, came out of the yacht carrying a shoulder pole and a bamboo basket of grilled fish, returned to the river, and prepared to go home.
Both father and daughter were very relaxed. Yu Xiaoye said:
"Dad, we've gained a lot today! We've come back with a full load!"
"Great, great—it turns out scooping fish is much more fun than fishing. Fishing only lets you catch one, but scooping fish lets you catch a lot. You can pick and choose among them, and who knows what good treasure you might find!"
Yu Xiaoye chuckled:
"Hey, I like catching fish too. It feels like opening a blind box. It's fun!"
The father and daughter were talking, and after walking a few steps, they vaguely heard voices in the woods by the river.
They subconsciously became alert, as if they had done something wrong and were afraid of being discovered.
Yu Xiaoye looked up and saw two people walking out of the woods.
This place is remote, with only a few farm companies around it and no other villages or towns. Therefore, the people who appear nearby are all farm workers or educated youth from the company. Yu Xiaoye wants to see if these two people are from their company.
The result was a shock when I took a closer look:
“What the hell!!”
"Xiao Ye, stop using foul language, it's uncivilized."
"Dad, your sons, your two sons!"
“What the hell!!!”
Yu Jiahui looked up hurriedly:
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Hide!"
Yu Xiaoye pulled her father and hid behind a bush.
Only then did Yu Jiahui remember that they must not be discovered by his two sons.
It would be troublesome if they were discovered now, because they still rely on the fish and shrimp in the space to make a fortune. If their two sons come looking for them, it will be inconvenient for them to use the ocean space.
It's not worth it for everyone to guard the treasure trove of an entire ocean and yet suffer poverty.
It’s better to wait for a while, when the family conditions are better, then it’s not too late to meet my son.
When the father and daughter hid behind the bushes, Yu Jiahui couldn't help but feel a little excited:
"I actually ran into them, what a coincidence!"
"It seems our guess was correct. These two brothers are indeed with Li Dasong from the Ninth Company next door."
"Let me see what they look like. I haven't seen them before!"
Yu Jiahui couldn't help but be curious and poked his head out from behind the bushes, and Yu Xiaoye also followed to peek.
I saw that the two brothers were still wearing their old cotton-padded jackets, which were tattered.
The eldest brother is taller and a little stronger.
Compared to the eldest brother, the second brother is a little shorter and weaker.
The two look somewhat similar to Xu Ying's current self, and it can be seen that they are biological mother and son.
Yu Jiahui muttered:
"He's really my own son!"
"Dad, how does it feel to have two more sons?"
"I can't explain it—but why does my scalp tingle when I think about how they ended up in the book?"
One was sent to labor camp and the other was executed. Isn't that enough to make one's scalp tingle?
Even Yu Xiaoye felt the same way when he thought about it.
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but they are blood relatives, so it is impossible for them to be completely indifferent.
At this time, one of the brothers was carrying a shoulder pole with two piles of firewood on it, and the other was holding a hatchet, looking around for branches that could be cut down.
When he saw something suitable, he would pick up his machete and start chopping it.
It seems that Li Dasong has not assigned them any jobs yet. The two of them are still eating free meals at Li's house and helping with some odd jobs.
In any case, seeing that the two brothers were safe and sound, both the father and daughter felt relieved.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly thought of something and whispered:
"Dad, we talked about giving them some help before. Now that we've run into them, do you want to give them something?"
Yu Jiahui was so busy looking after his two eldest sons that he hadn't thought of anything else. When he heard his daughter say that, he finally remembered and asked:
"Give me something?"
What to give?
Of course, the most practical thing is to give something to eat.
I guess the two brothers don’t have any good food to eat at Li Dasong’s house.
Yu Jiahui also thought of food first. He looked down at the grilled fish in the bamboo basket:
"How about throwing a few fish over there?"
