Chapter 201 I will do it well
"You're in good luck. Did you catch the cuttlefish?" Li Changle looked at the big fish in the cargo hold, "The blue shark is reserved for Uncle Kun to make shark fins. He just bought so many big items yesterday, and the swordfish is given to Adong's family."
"The cuttlefish weighs dozens of kilograms!" Brother Li said as he took out the bamboo basket, "Uncle Kun wants it?"
Li Changle smiled and shook his head, "No, it's for drying! Don't sell the shrimps, mackerel, and eels, keep them all and take them back to kill and dry the fish!"
Brother Li hurriedly said: "Uncle Jin's family and Lai's family also have cuttlefish."
"Great." Li Changle said and looked at Jin Hui and Lai Er, "Ah Hui, Lai Er, please keep your cuttlefish for me!"
Jin Hui nodded, "I have fifty or sixty pounds, do you want them all?"
"I also have fifty or sixty kilograms at home. If you want it, I'll keep it all for you." Lai Laoer over there also said.
"Okay! Keep them all for me." Li Changle happily jumped to the shore, took out the steel scale placed at Chen Dong's house, and began to weigh it.
The two families have exactly 110 kilograms, plus the more than 60 kilograms at home, a total of more than 400 kilograms of cuttlefish were harvested today. No matter how much it is, I am worried that there will be no space, so I will dry out a batch first, and then continue to work in two days.
Li Changle said hello to his two brothers and hurried back on three wheels.
When he reached the gentle slope at the corner of the pier, Brother Li saw him hunched over and pedaling the tricycle hard, trying several times but failing, so he hurriedly ran over to help him push the tricycle up the gentle slope.
"Ale, do you want me to help you push it back?"
"No, it's all flat in front of you. Hurry up and help sort out the fish. Find A Dong's house and buy some ice cubes to freeze the fish."
"I know!" Brother Li walked a few steps before turning around and walking back.
Li Changle arrived home panting and sweating profusely. Zhou Ruonan had already gone to the new foundation to help.
Seeing that she had returned with so many fresh goods, Mother Li quickly put down her work and helped lift the bamboo basket out of the car, "Has your brother returned to the dock?"
"I'm back, today's fish catch is not bad!" Li Changle picked up the handkerchief and wiped his sweat, "Auntie, hurry up and invite some women with sharp hands and feet to come to our house to help kill the fish!"
Mother Li frowned and said, "Isn't it worth spending so much money to hire people? I'll go to the new foundation right away and call back Anan and your sister-in-law. I'll kill them at most until midnight."
Li Changle was speechless, he really wanted money rather than his life, "Mom, there are more than a thousand kilograms of fresh goods, and the whole family has to work until midnight?
It’s not worthwhile to spend about ten dollars to hire a few people to work together, and they can kill you at ten o’clock at most. Your health will not suffer, and your trip to sea tomorrow won’t be delayed.”
Mother Li glared at him, "You have more money! You can treat ten people for ten yuan..."
"Then ask ten people to come back and help, and rush out while it's fresh." Li Changle couldn't help but put ten dollars in her hand, "Hurry up, I have to pull the cart to the dock to bring back the fish."
Seeing this, Li's father also said: "Ah Hua, just listen to Ah Le, it won't be fresh if it's been left out for a long time in hot weather."
"Oh!" Mother Li turned and walked towards the alley.
Father Li limped hurriedly to the side room, lifted the frame of the cart down and placed it on the tire bearings. He tied the handle of the cart to the three wheels and said, "Ride slowly, don't end up in the ditch."
"Don't worry, you won't fall into a ditch if you close your eyes." Li Changle got on the tricycle and pulled the cart towards the dock.
By the time he arrived at the dock, Brother Li and Brother Li had already sent part of the fish to Adong's house to sell, and had also moved the fresh goods he had stored there outside. As soon as he arrived, the three brothers took out the fish that had been left behind to dry the goods.
Move the shrimp to the car.
The Chen family sold it for more than 80 yuan. Here, there are still dozens of kilograms of cuttlefish, more than thirty kilograms of shrimps, a dozen eels, more than twenty kilograms of qingzhan, pippi shrimps and Spanish mackerel that are not sold.
Counting those big items, today's harvest is pretty good.
Li Changle pedaled a tricycle, and Brother Li pulled the cart back. They walked out of the pier to the embankment. Seeing no one around, they couldn't help but ask him, "Ale, what's the good news?"
Brother Li, who was helping push the cart, stepped forward and patted him, "Quickly tell me, I hate people who talk half-sentences and make people appetizing."
"All the dried fish brought to Lucheng today are sold out." Li Changle looked at the two of them proudly, "Not only are they sold out, but from now on we will send hundreds of kilograms over every half month."
"Shajia! Have you met someone from the food group?" Brother Li asked excitedly.
Brother Li nodded repeatedly, "It must be true. Who else can eat so much except the food group."
Li Changle told the two of them the reason for the matter, "I have to ask my brother-in-law to find more craftsmen to work with him and build the house as soon as possible so that the dried fish can be dried."
"Tell Ah Jin and ask him to find a few more teams of craftsmen and start construction on the four houses together. They should be completed by the Gregorian New Year."
"We are brothers and sisters. Grandma has found someone to predict the future. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for building a house."
"Oh!" Li Changle said with a smile, "What time will we go to the waterway to hold a memorial ceremony for the boat tomorrow morning? In the afternoon, people from the border police station will come to give awards to Ah Wei and I."
"Hey~ You've done well, and the police station will give you an award!"
"Just the mine last time..."
"Good people and good deeds deserve praise." Brother Li looked at him with a smile, "The tide will start to rise at around three o'clock tomorrow morning. We will go to the waterway to hold a memorial ship. We must go to bed early tonight!"
"Fortunately, I asked my mother-in-law to hire someone else, otherwise I would have to work until midnight again."
"My grandma is used to saving money. Spending ten yuan to hire someone is almost like cutting her flesh off."
When the three brothers arrived home chatting and laughing, it was already getting dark, and they saw that Sister-in-law Li had already started having sex with a dozen women.
Father Li and his children were sitting at the table peeling shrimps, while Mother Li and Zhou Ruonan were cooking in the kitchen.
Today the whole family is working together, and the brothers are having dinner at their parents' place.
Li Changle carried a basket of mackerel over and found that these women were chattering like sparrows in the forest. When they saw him coming, they praised him and poured them out for free, which made his pores stand up.
I feel as comfortable as before when a group of women saw him coming and collectively became silent.
Chen Yongwei came over with a basket full of shrimps, poured them into a large bamboo basket and filtered the water. He walked to the cart and whispered:
"Brother, the total sales of Octopus and Wangchao were only over sixty yuan. I think the jars may have been stolen again."
"Next time take the can out to sea!"
Several people unloaded all the fresh goods from the car, but there were still a few large items frozen in the rubber bucket. They were going to sacrifice the boat tomorrow morning. Chen Yongwei rode a bicycle and took a headlamp to send it to Tuxiaqiao overnight.
Li Changle and Brother Li helped pickle the drained mackerel, greenfish, and spring fish with salt water...
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Brother Li helped kill the eels with a knife. Killing eels is called splitting by the local people. Unlike killing other fish, which is done through the belly of the fish, killing eels is the same as killing eels, which is done through the back.
Use a knife to cut from the tail of the eel along the back to the end of the head and mouth. The meat of the eel cut must be flat and smooth, and the entire spine must be fully exposed. The eel cut in this way will look good when dried.
That's good.
Then remove the guts, gills and other debris from the split eel, and scrape off the dirt with a knife. Do not wash it, just wipe it clean with a cloth or a cloth dipped in white wine.
The packed eel does not need to be salted. Instead, use bamboo strips to stretch the fish body as much as possible to make it flake-like. Then use fishing line to tie a knot around the fish head and hang it up.
Let the eel hang in the sun for a day on a sunny day. Place the bamboo frame on which the eel is hung in an alley or in a ventilated and shaded open space. On a windy day, it will dry in just two or three days.
"Second uncle, daddy has dinner!" Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaotao ran out of the kitchen.
"Here we come!" Li Changle looked at Li Xiaotao and suddenly thought of Xiang Xiaoyu, "Xiaotao, does Xiang Xiaoyu want to play with you?"
"We used to play together, but now we don't." Li Xiaotao looked at him, "His mother and father are dead. He is raising his younger brother alone, and their family doesn't even have enough food to eat."
Li Xiaohai took it and said, "Abba, he is in grandma's class. Grandma asked him to go to school. He said his family didn't have money to study."
Li Changle didn't expect that he was still a student of Zhou Ruonan, so he said to the two children: "Go call the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the grandma to have dinner."
"Oh!" Li Xiaotao pulled Li Xiaohai and ran towards the well.
Brother Li put down the mackerel in his hand, "Ale, why did you remember to ask that child?"
"I saw him at the dock in the afternoon. He looked sallow and thin. He looked quite pitiful."
"How can a child without a father not be pitiful?" Brother Li sighed and walked towards the well.
Li Changle washed his hands, went to the kitchen to say hello to Zhou Ruonan, went home and got some bean noodles, some dried fish that he ate at home, poured half a bag of sweet potato shreds and half a bag of rice, and went to Ge Chang to make a fortune.
Walk nearby.
He remembered that Xiang Xiaoyu used to live in the room at the back of Afa's house, diagonally across from his house, and he probably lived there now.
Li Changle arrived at Ge Changfa's house, took a look, and walked into Xiang Xiaoyu's yard. Seeing that the door was closed, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Is Xiaoyu at home?"
"Here we come!" Xiang Xiaoyu opened the door and saw Li Changle, thinking that he was here to compensate him, so he quickly said: "Uncle Ale, I don't have money to compensate that uncle now."
"I'm not here to compensate you." Li Changle looked into his dark eyes and said, "You recognize me, why didn't you call me at the dock this afternoon?"
Xiang Xiaoyu came out and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ale. Please tell that uncle. When I have money in the future, I will compensate him."
"I believe you will pay it back." Li Changle put down the bag and rubbed his head. "There is some food in it. You can carry it in yourself. Also, my family wants to hire someone to kill fish, pick shrimp threads, and peel shrimps. If you can
You can go to my house to work."
Xiang Xiaoyu looked at him with bright eyes after hearing this, "I can also peel shrimps and pick shrimp threads. When will your family need someone?"
"I want it now. I'll work until ten o'clock tonight for a dollar's wages."
"I'm going. Uncle Ale, you go back first. I'll tell my brother and I'll go to work at your house."
"Okay, you can take your brother with you later."
"Yes!" Xiang Xiaoyu nodded, his eye circles a little red, "Did Teacher Zhou ask you to come? Does she know that I stole other people's fish?"
"I haven't told her yet." Li Changle didn't expect that he was worried that Zhou Ruonan would know, "Teacher Zhou said that you are a good boy and that you are very capable. Let me call you to give it a try."
Xiang Xiaoyu lowered his head, "I will do my best."
