110: Secretary Jia goes to the field office
After Yu Xiaoye went back to sleep, Xu Ying was also tired and sleepy after working all day.
Yu Jiahui asked Xu Ying to go back and rest while he continued to work alone.
One night, Yu Jiahui cooked a tuna weighing more than 20 kilograms.
About three pounds of oil was produced.
This oil yield should be acceptable, at least among fish, it is top-notch.
The reason why I have never heard of tuna being used to make oil is because tuna is too expensive. For example, bluefin tuna costs hundreds of dollars per pound. Who would be so extravagant as to use such an expensive thing to make oil?
But for the Yu family, price doesn’t exist at all, because all the fish in this entire ocean belong to them!
As long as they are willing, they can endure as much as they want!
Not only can you cook it and eat it yourself, you can also cook it and sell it.
When he thought of this, Yu Jiahui didn't want to sleep anymore.
He thought that if he could do more, his wife and children would have to work less.
For such a long time, his wife and children have been taking care of him. Now that his injuries are almost healed, it is time for him to take care of them.
So after catching this one, Yu Jiahui did not go back to sleep. He returned to the deck to see if there was any more tuna on the hook.
There were fish on the hooks, but they were not tuna.
After waiting for a while, a few more fishing rods moved, but still not the target.
After waiting for a long time, he finally caught a tuna weighing more than ten pounds. Yu Jiahui took great effort to catch it and brought it back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
In one night, I boiled three tunas and produced less than ten kilograms of oil.
The oil extracted from tuna is clear and transparent, looks very clean, and does not smell very fishy. The taste is still okay.
When the mother and daughter got up in the morning, Yu Jiahui was still staying up.
When Xu Ying opened her eyes, she saw that there was no one around her. The light in the kitchen outside was still on. When she came out, she saw that Yu Jiahui was still busy there.
Xu Ying ordered him to go back to sleep, and only then did Yu Jiahui go back and take a short nap.
When I went to bed, what I was thinking about was that there was finally oil to eat at home!
Not only did you produce ten kilograms of oil, you also got more than ten kilograms of fragrant and crispy tuna fat residue. After sprinkling some chili powder on it, it will become a rare and delicious snack.
If you can’t finish the food, you can sell it and get money.
As long as you are willing to use your brain and work hard, your life will get better and better.
Yu Jiahui slept particularly soundly this time.
In the morning, Xu Ying specially fried a few eggs with the fish oil boiled at night. They tasted almost without fishy smell and were more fragrant than ordinary vegetable oil. They were a bit like lard.
Of course, if you don’t taste it carefully, you won’t be able to tell the difference between it and other oils.
Well, the experiment of making cooking oil was a complete success.
Over the next few days, the family's busy focus changed.
They planned to make some more oil now that their family was not too busy, and then sell it on the black market together with the shrimp paste.
However, after the oil is boiled out, there is nothing to store it in. The few pots and jars at home are all filled up, and you have to buy some clay jars, pots, or pots. It would be best to find a few small bottles to package it so that it can be sold later.
It just so happens that all the soy sauce, vinegar and other things at home have been used up, so I should go to the farm headquarters. There is a sales outlet there, and see if there is anything I can buy there, and try to replenish what is missing at home.
It just so happened that the farm’s work clothes were distributed these two days.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, a messenger came from the headquarters and delivered the newspapers and letters of the Eighth Company to Jia Song's office, informing Jia Song to go to the headquarters to collect his work clothes.
Jia Song personally drove the carriage to the site to pick up the work clothes.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought of Yu Xiaoye. As if he had a premonition that Yu Xiaoye wanted to go to the field headquarters, he turned his horse around and came to the small courtyard in the northeast corner of the company.
Yu Jiahui was tinkering with his ladder outside the yard, preparing to repair it and use it again.
When Yu Jiahui heard the sound of the carriage, he thought it was Lao Pu again, but when he looked up, it was Jia Song. Yu Jiahui stood up and said with a smile:
"Secretary Jia, where are we going?"
Jia Song stopped the carriage:
"Old Yu, I have to go to the farm office. This year's work clothes have been distributed. I'm going to pick up the work clothes. By the way, I came to ask your Xiaoye if he wants to go to the farm office with me."
Yu Jiahui knew that Jia Song must have come to look for Xiaoye, but he just thought that he wanted to ask Xiaoye if she wanted to buy anything and help bring it back. Unexpectedly, he wanted to take Yu Xiaoye directly to the field office.
The smile on Yu Jiahui's face began to fade.
It's not his fault for being suspicious. If a man takes another family's daughter out, it's impossible for the father not to be suspicious.
Jia Song saw the smile on Yu Jiahui's face gradually solidify, and then he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He looked a little embarrassed and quickly changed his words:
"No, I mean—"
Before Jia Song could finish, Yu Xiaoye heard Jia Song's movements in the yard and rushed out:
"Secretary Jia!"
Jia Song looked up at Yu Xiaoye, a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked loudly:
"I'm going to the field office. If you have anything you want to take with you, I can bring it back for you."
"Secretary Jia, are you going to the field office?"
"Yes, someone just came to inform me that the work clothes have been distributed. I'm going to pick up our company's work clothes. Do you want to go? No, do you want to buy anything?"
Yu Xiaoye said crisply:
"Take me there!"
Jia Song opened his mouth but didn't dare to agree. Instead, he glanced at Yu Jiahui beside him.
Seeing Yu Jiahui's forced smile and complicated expression, Jia Song changed his words against his will:
"If you have anything you want to buy, I can bring it back for you."
"I need to buy some needlework, but you don't know how to sew, so I have to go by myself. Secretary Jia, please wait for me, I'll go back.
Wash your hands!
Yu Xiaoye ran back to the yard like a gust of wind and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
Jia Song sat on the shaft of the cart and smiled awkwardly but politely at Yu Jiahui:
"Well, Lao Yu, I brought her back as soon as I finished my work. It was very quick."
Old Yu nodded with a forced smile.
Yu Xiaoye washed his hands, went back to the house, took some money and put it in his pocket, then ran out like a gust of wind.
Seeing her coming and going in a hurry, as fast as a little rabbit, Jia Song's smile deepened.
All of this did not escape the eyes of Yu Jiahui's old father. He sighed slightly, feeling inexplicably confused.
Yu Xiaoye washed his hands, took the money, and rushed directly to Jia Song's carriage:
"Dad, Secretary Jia and I are going to the headquarters to buy some things and will be back soon!"
Yu Jiahui said, "Go early and come back early."
"Okay!"
Jia Song turned his horse around and said to Yu Jiahui, who looked unhappy:
"Don't worry, Lao Yu, we'll be back soon. It won't take long."
This sentence seemed to be a guarantee to Yu Jiahui.
But the more Jia Song said this, the more anxious Yu Jiahui became.
Watching his daughter go away in someone else's carriage, and sitting side by side with her in the carriage, talking and laughing, the old father felt as if his heart was stabbed.
