Chapter 44 Isn’t it said that he is very educated?
Zhou Chenglei directly carried Jiang Xia away from the beach, put her down, then sent her home, and took out Yunnan Baiyao to give her medicine.
Jiang Xia said: "Just use red potion. This powder is almost used up, don't waste it. You still need to apply medicine on your arm."
The wound on his arm is deeper.
Zhou Chenglei said nothing, and took the powder and sprinkled it on the wounds on her knees and ankles for free.
After that, he stood up: "I will go to the beach to sell those shrimps. You sit at home and don't walk around."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but said: "When will I "Walking around?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything. She didn't seem to be walking around, but...
I don't know how to put it, but he felt that she was quite disobedient.
Jiang Xia didn't argue with him: "Sell the shrimp in the bucket, the green coat, and the valuable ones. Sell all the valuable ones. Don't sell the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam. ”
Zhou Chenglei responded and walked out. He picked up all the cicada shrimps and Qingyi caught in Jiangxia's bucket into his bucket. Except for the Orangutan Sea Chrysanthemum Clams, he had no intention of selling another large conch, which was the Imperial Tang Guanlu. It's such a big one, I don't know if there are any pearls inside.
The crabs Jiang Xia picked up were not sold. She liked to eat them. He also picked up a few crabs. It happened that he had an early dinner today, so he steamed them together with the cicada shrimp for her to eat at night.
The rest are some white clams, blood clams, oysters, sixty-year-old clams and the like. These are not valuable, so they will not be sold. When the time comes, we will bring back some sea water to raise them and keep them for our own consumption.
After sorting, Zhou Chenglei carried the bucket and the big hairtail fish in the snakeskin bag and pushed the family cart out.
It was starting to get dark, Jiang Xia guessed that they would not come back so soon.
She went out to heat hot water and planned to wash her hair and take a bath.
Jiang Xia went out and saw the cicada shrimp and several crabs in the bucket. They were obviously left for her to eat, because she was the only one who liked to eat crabs.
Oysters, mussels and other shellfish were placed on the ground in a small pile. The oysters were not big.
The large conch and orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam were not sold either.
Jiang Xia felt a little hungry and had dinner before four o'clock in the afternoon. It is already past seven o'clock now.
There is white porridge cooking in the coal stove. It was cooked by Zhou's mother. I don't know whether to save it for dinner or for tomorrow's breakfast.
Jiang Xia thought that they would be hungry when they came back from their busy work, so he simply opened some oysters and had an oyster, shrimp, crab and seafood porridge.
Mr. Jiang Xia heated the hot water and then opened the oysters.
As soon as a small plate of oysters was served and the cicada shrimps and crabs were taken care of, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's father brought back two baskets of my shrimps.
Jiang Xia was surprised when he saw it: "Why aren't you selling it?"
Zhou's mother: "There are many people selling shrimp today. The purchasing office said it was too late and will not be fresh until tomorrow. What I gave you The price is too low. Ah Lei said to take it back and dry it and sell it." Jiang Xia heard this and said: "There are not many dried ones here, how about we buy them from other people in the village?"
Zhou Chenglei was unloading the shrimps from the trolley and glanced at her.
Father Zhou smiled and said: "Xiao Xia's idea coincides with Ah Lei's."
Mother Zhou said with some pain: "A Lei and Brother You, grandma are still Several families said they would receive their shrimps at a price of five cents per pound compared to the purchase price.”
I didn’t make any money, but the price was still five cents per pound higher than the purchasing office.
The prodigal son is so generous, and Mother Zhou’s heart aches.
Jiang Xia said: "It doesn't matter, you can make money back by drying it in the sun."
Mother Zhou: "You and A Lei said the same thing. But you have to take it out yourself after drying it. It’s easier to sell them at the market in the city, but it’s hard to sell them in the town. It’s a lot of trouble.”
Zhou’s mother feels that it’s okay if she doesn’t sell her shrimps, at least she won’t make a loss. She can’t sell them if they’re dried. It's not wasteful to eat slowly, but it's not cost-effective to pay for other people's shrimps. If you can't sell them, you'll lose money.
And the weather is not good. Who knows if the sun will shine tomorrow? If the shrimps cannot be dried and stink, it will be a big loss.
Father Zhou: "When the time comes, we will dry some dried fish and sell them together when we don't have to go to sea. Why are you worried so much?"
Jiang Xia also thinks so, she doesn't Then she answered and changed the subject: "The hot water is boiling, Mom, you go take a shower. I'll make oyster and shrimp porridge for a while."
Since the shrimps are not for sale, she will put a few more shrimps into the porridge. Here, porridge is sweeter. Zhou's mother: "Don't wash it yet. The hot water is ready. I'll run the shrimp through the hot water and dry them in the sun."
Mother Zhou did it as she was told. There were so many shrimps and she was afraid of the smell.
Jiang Xia also took a pound of shrimp, washed it, soaked it in boiling water, and put it into the porridge. The more shrimp the porridge will be sweeter.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia's knees, but she had already put down her trouser legs and could not see them. Without saying anything, he moved two baskets of shrimp into the kitchen and poured them into two large iron pots in batches.
Mother Zhou has poured water from a large iron pot into two iron pots.
They boiled the shrimps in hot water and spread them out in the sun. Jiang Xia also made the porridge and told them to eat it first before drying it.
The whole family was actually hungry, and they all started eating with a bowl of porridge.
Jiang Xia gave Zhou Zhou a bowl of porridge with many shrimps, oysters, and crabs, and asked Zhou Chenglei: "Why don't you sell the remaining conch?"
Zhou Chenglei: "That conch It’s the imperial Tangguan snail, which has the same chance of producing pearls as the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam.”
Jiang Xia Porridge didn’t eat any more and immediately went out to take the conch and the big clam back to the room.
Someone will come to sell shrimps soon.
Although I don’t know if there are any pearls, but if someone took it away casually, they must feel that there must be pearls inside.
At this time, Jiang's mother shouted in the yard: "Lei, someone is here to bring shrimps! Come out quickly."
Zhou Chenglei responded, hurriedly finished the porridge, and went back to the room. He took out a stack of change from the iron box and gave it to Jiang Xia: "You will be responsible for settling the settlement with the villagers later. There is one hundred and fifty yuan here. If it is not enough, you can come in and get it from the box later."
"Okay." Jiang Xia accepted. Come over.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei hurried out.
Jiang Xia first went to find a portable vegetable basket woven with plastic webbing to hold the change. It was very convenient to hold it on her arm.
A few villagers came to the yard, and each bucket contained a small half bucket of shrimp.
Wen Wan stood behind several villagers holding two snakeskin bags.
After she fell into the water, she went home, changed her clothes, and then came over to sell shrimps.
She glanced at the bowl of porridge with shrimps, oysters and crabs held in Zhou's mother's hand, and swallowed unconsciously.
The Zhou family is really rich and the food is so good.
No wonder Jiang Xia didn’t leave after he was reborn, and even organized a separate family.
Father Zhou has prepared the scale, and he and Zhou Chenglei are responsible for weighing the shrimp.
Pan Daidi was the first to rush out with a bucket: "Weigh mine first!"
Zhou Chenglei weighed her first. Half a bucket of shrimps was not enough. Once weighed, the bucket was removed. The weight: "One catty and six taels."
Pan Daidi: "Why so little? Is your scale accurate?"
Zhou Chenglei: "You think it's not accurate, okay? Go to the purchase office and sell it."
Pan Daidi: "Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to bother, just give me the money!"
Wen Wan? A sweet voice sounded: "Thirty-five cents per catty, six cents per catty is fifty-six cents."
Everyone in the village was still calculating, but they didn't expect Wen Wan to calculate it so quickly.
Someone praised: "Xiao Wan is really good at arithmetic."
There is a girl in the village, Zhou Ying, who is Wen Wan's classmate and her good friend. After hearing this, she said: "A Wan is a good student in our school." The best. She ranks first in the school every time she takes the exam. Of course she is good at arithmetic."
After that, she glanced at Jiang Xia: "But sister-in-law Jiang Xia should be better at arithmetic after all. She is from the city. More educated."
Pan Daidi thought of Jiang Xia's neglect of her last time, and immediately said: "Yes, A Lei's wife is not from the city. Doesn't she mean that she is not very educated? Figure it out?”
