Early the next morning, the old man returned from fishing with his two sons, and then went directly to Jizhou City with the fish to sell them. They were lucky today, and the fish they caught were all big fish, and they were also relatively precious, so they did not sell them directly to the vendors. Instead, they came to Jizhou City, a place that specializes in selling fish, so that they could make more money here, as they were also short of money.
Today, Mo Ruru was not feeling well, so she did not get up early and came directly to buy fish, shrimp and crabs. After breakfast, Wang Shiyu had nothing to do and wanted to rest her eyes, so Aunt Niu pulled her out, wanting her to relax. She had been staying in the room all day for the past two days, and she was almost bored silly. Aunt Niu felt that girls should not stay in the room all day, but should go out for a walk. It was not convenient for Yu Xiuming to come out with her. After all, their engagement had not been finalized yet, and Yu Xiuming also had to consider Wang Shiyu's reputation.
Wang Shiyu naturally understood that she had to balance work and rest and relax her hands, so she followed Aunt Niu out and wandered around the small seafood market. The seafood here was not as fresh as the one at the dock. Most of the seafood here was wholesaled from the dock and sold here. They were basically kept fresh with saltpeter ice.
To be honest, seafood fresh out of the sea is a little more expensive, especially those that are still alive. Aunt Niu has now been assimilated by Mo Ruru and the others, and only buys the freshest seafood. It doesn't matter if it is a little more expensive. Today I was lucky. I came just in time. I don't know which boat just came back from the sea. Maybe it forgot to catch a lot of shrimps and crabs.
There were actually a lot of crabs, each of which was as big as an adult's palm. Wang Shiyu looked at them with envy, so she asked Aunt Niu to buy some more and some prawns. The prawns were also very large and looked like tiger prawns, which were also quite rare.
After that, she walked around the small market for a while. She wanted to eat turbot today, but the turbot on the big ship was a little small and not very fresh. It might be because the ship had been sailing on the sea for some time. The fish were all frozen and smelled of saltpeter. The fish were all pickled and did not smell delicious.
They must have used saltpeter to make ice. Wang Shiyu was not interested in such fish. After all, saltpeter was poisonous. It was estimated that these people did not handle it properly and the saltpeter directly got on the fish.
In fact, the correct way to make ice is to use saltpeter through a container, otherwise it will get stuck when making ice. Maybe these people were too impatient and couldn't wait to do it slowly, so they used it directly on the outermost layer of ice. Anyway, it wouldn't delay selling it.
This is not directly dragged Aunt Niu to walk around the market for a while. Originally, Wang Shiyu did not look up at the seller. With her sight, she came to a small stall. There were only three wooden barrels and a small scale in front of the stall. Seeing that the fish in the barrel had died, but the turbot was very fresh, she started talking to Aunt Niu.
"Aunt, pick out two fish to take home and steam. They should be big. Ruirui said he wanted to eat turbot a few days ago, and I happen to want to eat it too. Let's have it for lunch, and then steam the crabs and eat them right away. We can eat the shrimp in the evening. I want to eat garlic shrimp."
"Okay, at noon, let's stir-fry some vegetables and make some poached chicken, and that'll be it."
Aunt Niu squatted down with a smile and started to pick the fish. After eating fish many times, she learned how to choose it.
The old man, who was originally thinking about his own things, immediately raised his head when he heard the familiar voice, and looked at the graceful girl in front of him. To be honest, Wang Shiyu has indeed changed a lot since she grew up. Not to mention her whiteness, she also has the best features of Wang Yixian and Mo Ruru. He was a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect to meet her here. It was really fate. He had been looking for her for so many years and couldn't find her. Now he gave up looking, and she ran directly to him. It was really great.
Aunt Niu squatted directly in front of his stall and started picking out the fish. These fish should have been caught today, and they were all of different sizes. Aunt Niu picked out the two biggest ones and weighed them directly. After weighing and paying, just when the two were about to leave, the old man finally spoke.
"Xiaoyu, is that you? I'm your grandpa. You look so much like your father. I recognized you right away. You're getting prettier and prettier."
