Chapter 211 Discovery

People these days like to use large tanks and urns to store grain.

Dried fish stored with straw inside will not easily regain moisture. With the lid closed, you don’t have to worry about mice getting in and eating.

"I've hired cargo ships to haul bricks, tiles, stones, and slates these past few days. I'll go buy them someday when I have time, and they'll be brought over on the loading ship."

"If you don't go to sea on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll go buy it that day."

Li Changle went back to the house and put away the contract, then went out to look at the squid heads and dried shrimps that had been put into bamboo baskets.

The silver pomfret heads have been dried, and two baskets of skinned shrimps and dried shrimps have also been dried.

Brother Li pushed the tricycle out, and the two brothers moved the fish heads and dried shrimps to the car. Li Changle took them to Chen Yongwei's house to store them.

When they got there, Chen Yongwei and Grandma Chen were also collecting the turtle heads. When they saw him pushing the tricycle in, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Several people packed the squid heads and dried shrimps into the Chen family's large tanks and earthen urns, and then went to the Li family's house to pull a cart to the beach to wash the cuttlefish in sea water.

I started work early today and was busy until about seven o'clock. I packed up all the fish, shrimps and cuttlefish. Those that needed to be dried were hung on bamboo racks, and those that needed to be marinated were piled into the big tank.

Zhou Ruonan paid her wages to her sister-in-law who helped with the work, and Mother Li happily sent her out of the yard.

Xiang Xiaoyu took today's wages and said to Zhou Ruonan: "Teacher Zhou, I'll come find Uncle Ale before the tide goes out."

"We will have dinner at home tonight. Uncle Aping's boat was launched today. Uncle Ale and Uncle Awei won the grand prize and ordered a big boat. Let's celebrate for them." Zhou Ruonan said.

"Xiaoyu, let's eat at my house. Today we have wild sea duck. The duck cooked by my aunt is very delicious." Several children of the Li family also stayed with them.

Xiang Xiaoxing pulled his brother and whispered: "Brother..."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou." Xiang Xiaoyu saw Li Xiaoyang and others moving stools, and followed him with a wink to help.

The dishes came to the table quickly, braised wild sea duck with dried bamboo shoots, a layer of oily duck fat floating in the large bowl, duck egg custard, shredded ginger, garlic slices, hairtail steamed with old wine, and braised hairtail with shredded radish.

.

Boiled sea oysters, cone snails, bamboo shoot snails, and pan-fried spring fish that were browned on both sides and then grilled. There was a jar of fragrant old wine on your table.

This little life is simply not too beautiful.

Li Changle picked up the wine can and felt something was wrong with the weight. He turned to look at Li Xiaoyang at the next table and saw him shrinking his neck, quietly raising a finger and saying silently: "Uncle, please forgive me, it's too fragrant, just drink it."

Take a bite."

"I'll spare your life for now!" Li Changle glanced at him, turned to look at Father Li with a smile, "Abba, your leg is almost healed, would you like a drink?"

"Okay, I'll have a drink too!" Father Li said cheerfully, "I'll give it to you, grandma, grandma, Nan and sister-in-law. They all have two cups today."

Grandma Chen nodded happily, "I'm happy today, so let's have a couple of drinks. We won't be busy tomorrow, so we can all go to my house for dinner in the evening."

Every day is like a dream. The construction of a new building is about to begin, my granddaughter-in-law is about to get married, and a big ship has been ordered. This is a good thing that I have never dreamed of!

"Okay, let's go to Grandma's house to eat tomorrow!" Li Changle uncorked the wine and filled it for everyone, and the whole family started eating and drinking.

The seafood on the table was not as popular as the wild sea duck in the big bowl. The two dogs were even more happy to eat. They burrowed under the two tables. If someone accidentally kicked it, they would whine in their mouths.

The sound of protecting food.

After giving it a try, it became obedient again. After eating, it ran out with the bones in its mouth. After running several times in a row, it was unknown which pit it was buried in.

Eating delicious wild sea duck and tender duck egg soup, several children began to discuss how to go fishing in Chuiyuan Island tomorrow and how to catch sea ducks and collect duck eggs.

Xiang Xiaoxing worked hard. Since grandma and dad were gone, they haven't had such delicious food for a long time.

Li Changle said to brother Xiang Xiaoyu, "You will come too tomorrow, and I will take you to play for a day."

Xiang Xiaoyu hesitated, "Uncle Ale, do you want to collect the jars tomorrow?"

Li Changle smiled and shook his head, "If we don't harvest tomorrow, we will harvest every other day. We will catch more octopuses."

Xiang Xiaoyu felt relieved and nodded happily, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

After eating and resting for a while, we had to go fishing. The brothers didn't dare to drink more. They drank a few glasses each and then started eating.

After several children had eaten, Li Xiaoyang and others volunteered to send the Xiang Xiaoyu brothers home. The adults ate for more than an hour before putting the bowls away.

Li Changle drank a few drinks and became a little tipsy, so he went to lie down for a while and didn't get up until ten o'clock.

Brother Li, Brother Li and Chen Yongwei went towards Yantou Mountain.

Li Changle went to Xiang's house with a headlamp. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door opened, "Are you awake and waiting for me?"

Xiang Xiaoyu nodded sheepishly, "I'm worried that I fell asleep and you couldn't wake me up."

"Little thing!" Li Changle gave him a hand, picked up the sack placed behind the door, and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah!" Xiang Xiaoyu quickly took out the key and locked the door.

Adi has already fallen asleep. He knows that he and Uncle Ale are going to get rid of the pot, and he won't cry even if he wakes up.

Li Changle took him towards Changtang, warning him as he walked that he could not go to the beach alone at night, he could not put the jar in deep water, and he could not go to places where the waves were too strong, in case he was swept away by the waves.

He didn't even have time to shout for help.

He remembered that Xiang Xiaoyu in his previous life was really just like a small fish. He could dive and hold his breath better than anyone on the boat after entering the water. The boss of the boat also said that he was born to be a water ghost.

"Uncle Ale, I am a very good swimmer. My father is not as fast as me."

"Uncle knows, but you have to understand that out of ten people who drown, nine out of ten people know how to swim. You still have a brother to support, so you can't be too careful."

"I remember." Xiang Xiaoyu looked at Li Changle who was carrying the sack in front of him, took two quick steps and took his hand.

Li Changle took him to the side of the big rock. There was a beach over there, and the water was not deep, so it was safer than the tidal flat.

After the two of them arrived, the sea water had receded and sandbags bulged up on the beach. Xiang Xiaoyu happily ran over, dug open the sandbags and picked up a cat's eye snail.

Cat's eye snails like to burrow into the sand after landing on the shore. As long as you attack those small bulges, you will probably get something.

"Uncle Ale, this can be sold for five cents a pound."

"I have a net bag here, pick it up and put it in it." Li Changle put down the sack and took out a net bag for him. Seeing his happy look, he regretted not bringing any tools.

The two searched around the beach and picked up half a bag of miscellaneous snails and clams. Seeing that there was no good stuff, Li Changle took him back to open the sack and pulled out the tied jar.

Zhou Ruonan took him to buy 150 jars, which cost more than nine yuan including fishing rope and wire. The jars were divided into two groups.

Li Changle went to the next group first, showed him the demonstration, and told him everything he should pay attention to when collecting the jars.

Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)

Xiang Xiaoyu's brain was very good. After reading it once, he did it as expected. After watching him put the jar down, Li Changle sent him back again, and then walked towards Yantou Mountain again.

It was almost one o'clock when we walked out of the cave. Looking down, there was not even a light on the tidal flat. At this point, all the Taohai people had gone back to rest.

As soon as he reached the rocks, he saw Brother Li walking towards this direction with a net bag. He rushed up to help catch a bag, "Have you caught anything good in the puddle?"

Brother Li shook his head, "I caught a few large lobsters, some water, a few pounds of spring fish, but nothing else."

"Awei and second brother haven't come out yet?"

"It's still being pried inside. I said I'll pry more once I go in so I don't have to go in often and be discovered."

Li Changle placed the bergamot conch in the cave, took off his clothes and pants, and the two brothers came out of the cave together. Just as they were about to walk towards the cave, they suddenly saw several dark figures approaching from the rocks.

He quickly pulled Brother Li, and the two brothers quickly turned around and put out their headlights.

The two of them stood behind the rocks, calming down and watching a few dark figures walk away.

Brother Li whispered: "These people should be shipping goods and come out to pick up the goods in the middle of the night."

"It should be." Li Changle saw them walking down and said to Brother Li, "Brother, let me follow you and have a look?"

"Don't go. It's already this hour. You're so sneaky that you don't even have a flashlight. You must be there to pull goods. If they find out, they will definitely not let you go."

"I will follow them from a distance to see where they are going. I will be back immediately." After Li Changle said this, he walked out from behind the reef without waiting for Brother Li's consent.

When Brother Li saw him leaving, he felt relieved and immediately followed him.

Li Changle saw that he was wearing a pair of trousers and followed him. Seeing that he was in the same situation, he wanted to go back to put on his clothes and trousers, but he was worried that he would lose him, so he had to bite the bullet and walk forward with a few black figures in the distance.

After following for a while, I saw them heading towards the big rock.

He cautiously followed those people until they reached the big rock. Seeing that they were still walking forward, Li Changle thought they were going to the mudflat, so he pulled Brother Li and hid behind a big rock.

The two brothers watched the black shadows enter the mudflat, walked toward the seaside, and then walked back.

Brother Li said happily: "Ale, luckily someone stole the octopus in the jar before, otherwise, sooner or later, I would have met these people."

Li Changle thought about it. These people are all desperadoes. If they are unlucky, they will definitely be thrown into the sea to feed the fishes.

However, it cannot be ruled out that these people deliberately stole their octopus in order to drive them away.

"Brother, which village do you think these people are from?" Li Changle thought that he should take Xiang Xiaoyu to another place to plant pots, so as not to accidentally encounter them and harm the child.

"I can't tell. There are people in several nearby fishing villages doing this. Who knows which village they are from?"

When the brothers went back, they saw Brother Li and Chen Yongwei coming out of the cave with anxious faces, "You all come out!"

Brother Li and Chen Yongwei breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them.

"Brother, where have you been? You almost scared the souls of me and my second brother!"

"We saw..." Li Changle told what happened.

Chen Yongwei stopped taking his side this time, saying that he was too courageous. Who knows what would happen if they discovered him?

The second brother Li also said a few words to him and said why the eldest brother Li didn't care about him. If something happened, the Li family's sky would collapse.

Li Changle responded nonchalantly. He was a little worried about going to Zhushan Island in a few days. What should he tell them?
