Chapter 162 Looking for trouble
"Yes, get the foundation approved early. Once we know we are going to build a house, no one will come to borrow money. If it rains again tomorrow, we will go talk to Adonbo about the foundation."
After drinking a bowl of hot ginger-yellow rice wine, Li Changle suddenly felt warm all over, with sweat oozing out from his body.
The seaside is very humid, so drinking ginger ale and rice wine can dispel colds, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is very suitable for fishermen like them who feel chilled by the heavy rain after being exposed to the sun for a day on the sea.
Father Li looked at San'er, who had tanned a lot, and said, "This morning I came back from looking for your third uncle, and then I went to Accountant Chen's house and told him about the foundation construction on Nanshan.
He said, there are also a few families who are interested in that place. Let me tell you, if you decide to be approved there, you should pay the money for the homestead as soon as possible and mark the foundation as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by someone in a good location.
Picked away."
"Which ones are they? Why do they, like A Le, like to build their foundations there?" Sister-in-law Li did not expect that there are people like A Le who like to build their new houses in the Nanshan concave area.
"A Dong said they were brothers from the Jin family. Their family immigrated from the island. The brothers like to dry the heads of turtles and cook shrimps and sell them in the town. They said they liked the spaciousness there."
Father Li paused for a moment, "Both the Jin brothers and Wang Daobiao brothers are easy to get along with. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Where can you approve the house and become neighbors with them?"
Li Changle remembered that he had to pay money to approve the foundation. "How much does it cost to pay to the village for two foundations?"
"Two hundred yuan, with a red book like the one at the entrance of the village."
"Okay, then we'll go find A Dong Bo tomorrow, pay the money for the foundation, and lay out the foundation."
After the family has had a meal, they have to deal with the leftover green fish, yellow fish and other fish. They have to pick them up, marinate them overnight, and hang them up to dry.
Brother Li went out. The wind outside had weakened, the rain had lightened, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. He sighed, "Oh, it looks like I have to rest for another two days."
Brother Li stepped forward to help lift the bamboo basket down, "It's okay to rest for two days. Tomorrow we will go to Laotang'an to buy the boat and send it to Zhangjia Pier for refitting. A Le will go to A Dongbo's house to pay for the homestead at home.
Submit it and reserve the position."
"Well! Once you decide, make it as soon as possible."
The two brothers carried the bamboo basket into the house and poured the yellow, green and miscellaneous fish inside into the large wooden basin.
Brother Li then saw that there were many small miscellaneous fish below, "Why are there so many small miscellaneous fish?"
"There are still two rows of ground cage nets that have not been lowered, so the weather is not right!"
Only then did Li Changle remember that there were still two rows of ground cages left, "Brother, the bait bags of the ground cage nets that I brought back also contained fish bait!"
"I put the floor cage net in the side room." Brother Li hurriedly ran towards the side room.
Zhou Ruonan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down in front of the big wooden basin and started to clean them up, "These small fish are quite fresh today and not too small. It would be a pity to use them as bait."
"Some of these fish were thrown into the net, and some were picked out from the ground cage net." Li Changle stepped forward and took a look, "I picked out the big ones and dried the heads, and washed the small ones and fried them for drinking."
Sister-in-law Li was speechless, "It takes a lot of oil to deep-fry. Besides, it's fine to eat when it's hot. But when it's cold, it's covered in a layer of oil. Not only is it not delicious, but it's also easy to get diarrhea after eating it."
"If it's fried in rapeseed, there won't be any grease."
"We don't grow rapeseed, where can we get rapeseed oil?" Mother Li rolled her eyes at him, "You are spending more money every day."
"I didn't know we didn't have rapeseed oil at home." Li Changle laughed awkwardly, and then he remembered that people in fishing villages these days use lard for frying. No one eats rapeseed oil, and they are not used to it.
, I feel that rapeseed oil has a raw oil smell.
But deep-fried food needs to be fried in rapeseed to bring out the aroma. Not to mention that the lard-fried fish is not crispy enough, and it really doesn’t taste good after it’s cooled.
"Mommy, daddy and third uncle went to talk to fourth uncle about making Ah Shui the head of the family. What did they say?" Zhou Ruonan helped change the topic.
Mother Li curled her lips and said, "Your fourth uncle said that he doesn't care who is in charge of the family, as long as he has food to eat and wine to drink when he comes back from the sea."
"Then what does Ah Shui say?" Li Changle also admired people like his fourth uncle. He didn't care about anyone but himself.
"Ah Shui said he wanted to separate the family. He took Yufang to live with his father and mother. From now on, they will share the fish caught equally, and each will contribute half of the money for repairing the fishing boat."
"Oh~ Ah Shui has even thought about how to divide the family. It seems that he has wanted to separate the family for a long time."
"Everyone with a little bit of brain would think about it." Li's father took over the conversation, "Ah Shui told us that his mother-in-law only has eyes for her uncle's family, and her mother-in-law has always been in charge of the four-bedroom home, and he and Ah Si can only give it to their uncle.
The family will be a cow and horse for life."
"We asked Yufang that the girl wanted to live alone with her brother, and Ah Si didn't have any objection, so Xu Xianmei refused, crying and crying, saying that she had worked hard to raise two white-eyed wolves, and she was better off with one.
It’s good that the rope is dead. He also said that Lao San and I had long claws and were in charge of their homes.”
Li Changle understood by looking at Li's father's expression, "After talking for a long time, you have made another trip in vain!"
"Why not!" Mother Li took over the topic, "Every time, she starts crying, makes trouble, and hangs herself. Ah Si was scared out of her mind by her jumping into the well before, and now she scares Ah Shui."
Father Li was very angry after thinking about it, "What can be done? In a short while, she jumped into the well and hung from the beam. They can't just watch her hang, right?"
"Bah!" Mother Li spat angrily, "If Xu Xianmei really wanted to commit suicide, she would have died a hundred times ago. Look at those people in the village who hang themselves or jump into wells every time they quarrel. Are they still alive today?
Okay?"
"Ask Ah Shui to take a rope with her. Wherever she wants to hang, she and her mother will hang together. Which well she wants to throw into, both of them will throw in together. I don't believe that she is willing to leave her mother's nest."
Li Changle thought of his fourth aunt who was still alive and well after he left, "Abba, what Aniang said is right. If you let Ah Shui go all out to have a fight with her, you can definitely divide the family."
Father Li felt that what the mother and son said made sense, and thought that he would talk to Ah Shui tomorrow.
After Brother Li and Brother Li poured out all the bait from the cage net, Li Changle also put on his raincoat and went to the well to help clean the cage net before going back to the house to sleep.
Lying on the bed, I remembered what Brother Li said on the way back, what if Uncle Kun's bid was not higher than others and he didn't buy the fish. I thought of the bidding scenes I had seen on TV before, and felt that I had taken it for granted.
Zhou Ruonan took a shower and entered the room. She saw him frowning and leaning on the bed, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I'm thinking about bidding to buy fish tomorrow. I'm worried that when you are thirty and his bid is fifty, our fish will be sold at a high price, but we may offend people without even knowing it."
"
"Ale, I think in the end even if Uncle Kun gets the fish, we may offend people, because the buyers who come are all bosses, big or small, and they all want to save face. Then people won't be jealous of the person who bought the fish, just
I will be jealous of you, the fish seller."
"Yes, yes, that's what I was worried about. At that time, I should have asked Adong to call Uncle Kun directly and sell the fish to him directly. At that time, I thought, the more expensive the better, it was still because of greed."
"Normally, rice fish weighing dozens of kilograms is rare once a year. Everyone wants to sell it at a good price!" Zhou Ruonan comforted her warmly, thinking about how to remedy it.
"What should we do now?" Li Changle patted his head, feeling that he was just looking for trouble. "Now that the word has been released, whoever pays the higher price tomorrow will own the fish. You can't just send it to a restaurant to sell it, right?"
"This definitely won't work." Zhou Ruonan pondered for a moment and then said, "Ale, when our school elected leaders, in order to prevent the teachers who voted from being resented by the new leaders, they voted anonymously. I think this method can be used.
."
"Look, last time the rice fish was sold for three yuan and a half a catty. How much do you want to sell this one this time? Let's set a price first and let them write their psychological price on a small piece of paper. Who can
Give it to whomever offers the highest price, so as not to hurt the harmony."
After hearing this, Li Changle leaned forward and slapped her in the face, giving her a thumbs up, "My teacher Zhou is very smart, and I am just a little smart."
Zhou Ruonan patted him and said coquettishly: "Every day he knows how to drink me the ecstasy soup."
Li Changle took her hand and put it on his heart, "I'm not pouring you soul soup, it comes from the bottom of my heart!"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Zhou Ruonan withdrew his hand, closed the mosquito net, and sat next to him, "Have you ever thought about how much it would cost to sell that fish?"
"Brother said that the bigger the fish, the better the glue it produces. Our fish can produce at least seven taels of isinglass. Even if it is six hundred and one kilograms of isinglass, it is still worth four hundred and twenty. I don't think it can be lower than this price."
"Four hundred and two, isn't it too expensive?" Zhou Ruonan frowned and asked, "What if no one wants it?"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about selling the good stuff. If it doesn't work, just keep the isinglass for drying. Maybe next year the isinglass alone will sell for six to seven hundred yuan."
"No wonder Grandma said you always think about good things every day!"
"Do you know what good thing I am thinking about now?" Li Changle smiled and hugged her close to her, the bed board creaked and shook...
The wind was blowing loudly, but it became lighter when it was almost dawn, and the rain continued intermittently until dawn.
…
When Li Changle got up, Brother Li and Brother Li had already gone to Laotang'an to buy a boat. They thought they would go to Accountant Chen's house after dinner and then go to the beach to have a look.
As soon as he picked up his rice bowl and took a few bites, Chen Dong came over on his bicycle and asked him to go to the pier, saying that A Kun and the three bosses were here to see the rice fish.
Li Changle hurriedly called him into the room and told him the bidding method he and Zhou Ruonan had discussed, "What do you think of this method?"
"This is a good method and does not hurt the harmony." Chen Dong said, "Last year, the Longji Seafood Shop in the town sold a yellow lip fish weighing more than 90 kilograms. I was there to watch the excitement at the time. I will tell you about the situation.
It's almost the same, and it's so lively when the price is called out.
As a result, those who bought the fish felt that they were impulsive and bid the price too high, which made them feel uncomfortable. Those who did not buy the fish were still unhappy. Long Ji felt that he was not a human being, and was even ganged up on several times.
