"Maybe Master Hai Long knew that a commoner like me was short of money to build a house, so he took pity on me and gave me some seafood." Li Changle smiled and handed him the net bag, "I fried the jellyfish brains and jellyfish lining while they were fresh.
liquor."
Accountant Chen picked up the net bag and saw that there were jellyfish brains, jellyfish linings and jellyfish blood inside. He nodded happily and said, "This stuff is good. I haven't eaten these things for a long time. You sit and wait for me for a while. I have to give it to you quickly."
Auntie cooked it!"
"Okay!"
Li Changle saw him trotting towards the inner room, took out a cigarette and lit it, and sat there waiting for him to come out. The little old man ran out not long after.
She looked at him with a smile and said, "Why don't you buy a big tank from me?"
"Uncle A Dong, there is no more awesome old man than you in the entire Shatou Village."
Li Changle gave him a thumbs up with admiration, and lit the cigarette for him diligently, "If those big vats are still there, I would like to buy some to pickle jellyfish."
Accountant Chen took a drag on his cigarette and nodded cheerfully, "There are also seventeen large vats in the storage room. I bought them for seven yuan a bottle at that time. I will give them to you for four yuan a bottle."
Li Changle shook his head like a rattle, "Four yuan is too expensive. The second-hand goods are discounted by at least half. At three yuan and a half a piece, I bought them all."
"You brat!" Accountant Chen saw him shaking his curly hair and slapped him funny, "It's a second-hand product. How can you tell whether it's new or old after cleaning the water tank?"
"The main reason is that I am poor. You see, I only have so little money. I need to collect jellyfish, buy salt, and buy alum. You can sell it to me for three and a half yuan a piece. I will treat you to a drink with the money I made."
"It's not that I didn't let go of the price. The main reason was that Wang Laochao came to me to buy a large tank the year before last. He gave me four yuan a piece. I didn't sell it to him. You can move it all for four yuan, and the brigade headquarters still pays you back.
I’ll give you dozens of kilograms of alum as well.”
Seeing what he wanted to say, Accountant Chen smiled and slapped him in the face, "A large water tank that holds three to four hundred kilograms a piece would cost at least eight or nine yuan to buy now. Four yuan is cheap enough, so you'll be satisfied."
!”
"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied! Thank you Uncle A Dong. I'll treat you to old wine when I make money!" Li Changle wisely counted sixty-eight yuan from his bag and gave it to him.
Accountant Chen took the receipt and wrote an order to him, "Go and move now, or wait a little while?"
"In a moment, if it's convenient for you, please give me the key to the storage room. When the work is over, my brother will pull the cart!"
"What's the inconvenience of this?" Accountant Chen took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, took out a handful and handed it to him, "Put the alum in a big vat, you can get it yourself."
"Okay!" Li Changle took the key and put it in his bag, "Those in the immigration village are still waiting for me to collect jellyfish. They are too busy to drink with you!"
"Do your job!" Accountant Chen looked at the energetic Li Changle and patted him on the shoulder happily, "Do a good job and defend your father!"
"Don't worry, I will do it!" Li Changle waved to him, went out and pedaled on three wheels and walked towards Nanshan. As soon as he arrived at Lao Ye Palace, he saw many villagers running towards Nanshan.
Seeing him coming, they all stopped and gathered around, "Ale, you said you got a lot of jellyfish at Nanshan Beach, is it true?"
"Really, we don't have much time left now, my brother and the others are still arresting him over there."
"Ale said it's true, hurry up and take a look!" A group of people turned around and ran away.
"Ale, wait for me!" Ge Changfa saw him coming on a tricycle, stopped him, held on to the carriage board and jumped up, "They say you got tens of thousands of kilograms of jellyfish at Nanshan Beach, and you worship the tablet every day.
Master, can’t you do it?”
"Of course I want to pay my respects, sir!" Li Changle turned around and glanced at him, "There's nothing much to do during the typhoon. Why don't you take the time these two days to go to your friend's house in the mountains to look at the wood?"
"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Come call me at five o'clock."
"OK!"
"How many jellyfish did you get today?"
"Probably several thousand kilograms!"
"I have to follow you closely from now on. As long as I stay with you, I will get money!"
"Fuck you! We're still Qianqian, why haven't I seen you following me every day before?"
"Hehe, what's the use of following you before, hanging out on the streets every day? I don't have a wife who can earn a salary."
"Get lost! You might as well just call me a pretty boy and rely on your wife to support you!"
Li Changle felt so distressed that he turned his head and glanced at him, pedaling the tricycle very fast, ignoring him croaking behind him!
When they arrived at the Nanshan intersection, they locked the tricycle at the gate of Wang Daobiao's yard and strode to the beach with Ge Changfa.
"Damn it! Are all of them working so hard?" Ge Changfa said as he rushed up with the net, running faster than a rabbit.
At this time, Nanshan Beach was already crowded with men holding fishing nets, some even scolding each other just to snatch a jellyfish.
"You hozen, I saw it first, how dare you rob me!"
"It belongs to me in my copying net! What do you want to do with your tablet?"
"That's right, you've seen everything on the sea, are they all yours?"
"Forget it, there are more over there, go there and get the same ones."
Brother Li and Li Changshui were even more powerful. They made a long bamboo pole, tied the net to it, and tied a long rope around their waists. The three of them fished for jellyfish from the chest-deep sea.
Li Yufang held Li Changshui, and Chen Yongwei held one hand at a time, looking at the two of them wetly.
I saw waves rolling in layer by layer. People were swaying under the impact of the waves. If they were not careful, they would be swept away by the waves.
Li Changle was horrified when he saw it, and hurriedly handed the satchel to Zhou Ruonan, ran to the beach to help Chen Yongwei pull a cable, and shouted to Brother Li who was reaching out to salvage the jellyfish: "Brother, Ah Shui, do you want your life? Come back quickly!"
"
They also said that he worked hard, and they saw that overseas goods worked harder than him.
Everyone is working hard. They, ordinary people, are trying their best to make their families live a better life and to live a slightly more decent life.
Brother Li came back with a bag full of jellyfish, grinning, "It doesn't matter. When the ship encounters a storm in the desert, the rocking is much worse than this, so we still pull the net."
"We have enough, go back and help kill the jellyfish, and leave some for others to catch!"
Of course Li Changle knew what was going on on the boat. As the old saying goes, those who drown are those who know how to swim. Why risk doing something that can be avoided?
Brother Li nodded, wiped the seawater from his face and asked, "Have you bought the big tank?"
"I bought it, and I also gave away dozens of kilograms of alum. After everything is packed here, I can pull the cart out." Li Changle took over the copy net, "You go back and change your clothes first, then ride a three-wheeler to Shaji to buy sea salt.
Come back with alum.”
After hearing this, Brother Li said: "One hundred kilograms of jellyfish costs about ten kilograms of salt and two or three kilograms of alum. Put them all away. How many kilograms of jellyfish do you estimate there are?"
Li Changle looked back at the jellyfish on the beach, "I estimate that 10,000 kilograms is only more or less, not including what we caught ourselves."
After hearing this, Brother Li looked at Brother Li and said, "According to this calculation, it will take more than ten metric tons of salt and two or three metric tons of alum. It cannot be pulled by three wheels, so we might as well pull the cart."
Li Changle nodded, "It's okay to buy more. We'll need it in the future."
"Ale, do you plan to continue doing this?" Brother Li asked after hearing this.
"Yes, there is a ready-made pool inside the dilapidated house. I would like to ask my brother-in-law to build the roof first and then start building the new house in front."
Li Changle paused for a moment, "The roof has been built, and there are about ten houses here that can be lived in. We can go to the dock to collect jellyfish, and the fish will be processed at home."
"Let's buy salt and alum first, and we'll discuss it when we get home in the evening." Brother Li felt that his mind was moving too fast and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
"Okay, you guys put the money down first and then do the math after you get home."
"Brother, I don't know how to kill jellyfish, I will continue fishing!" Chen Yongwei took the net and walked towards the sea.
Li Changle grabbed him and said, "Bring the net to Ah Fa. You go back and change your clothes and bring lunch over."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei hurriedly took the net to find Ge Changfa. The net in Brother Li's hand was immediately taken away by a familiar villager.
Li Changshui carried the jellyfish ashore and said, "Brother A Le, I will catch some more, and I will go with my little sister to help you kill the jellyfish."
Li Yufang hurriedly said: "Brother Ale, let's help you kill him together, and you will give us one person's wages."
Li Changle glanced at her and said, "Tighten it up. If it doesn't work, stop doing it."
Li Yufang nodded heavily, "You know, I'm stronger than my brother, but it's a pity that he won't let me get in the water."
"The girl will die if she goes into the water!" Li Changshui patted her and walked to the shore carrying the jellyfish.
Li Changle went back with the net and saw Grandma Chen and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law killing the jellyfish quickly.
Cutting off the beards, cutting off, digging out the brains, and scraping the insides of the jellyfish. One jellyfish can basically be processed in more than a minute. It would take him at least two or three minutes to process one jellyfish.
Seeing that they were busy digging holes to bury and dehydrate the jellyfish after killing them, he hurriedly walked up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll dig the sand while you concentrate on killing the jellyfish."
"Okay, we can go faster with your help!"
Over there, Zhou Ruonan and Li Ersao were busy counting the jellyfish. The villagers were used to selling them in the cooperative, so they had already sorted the jellyfish into three categories: large, medium and small.
The sisters-in-law of the Jin family pulled the two of them, "Nan, Azhen, you two put ours away first, and we have to help pull the rope!"
"Oh!" Sister-in-law Li hurriedly knelt down and counted, "Ah Nan, there are fifteen big ones, twenty medium ones, and twenty-five small ones."
"Okay!" Zhou Ruonan took a notebook and reported the accounts, "Sister-in-law Jin's house, the big triangle one, a total of four and a half yuan, the medium two-corner one, a total of four yuan, the small dime one, two and a half yuan, totaling up
Exactly eleven dollars."
Sister-in-law Jin happily turned to her sister-in-law and said, "That's great. I earned eleven yuan in just over an hour!"
Sister-in-law Jin nodded happily, "Yeah! It's a pity that the boats have left Haimen Port. Otherwise, if we fished them out by boat, we could sell them for dozens of yuan at least."
"Yeah, these jellyfish came at the wrong time!"
Zhou Ruonan took out the money and handed it over with a smile, "Sister-in-law Jin, you can still make money during a typhoon. It's already an unexpected fortune."
"Yes, yes, Master Hai Long will be unhappy when he hears this." Sister-in-law Jin took the money and happily took her sister-in-law to help her man pull the rope, taking the opportunity to earn an extra dollar.
