Chapter 59: Dirty by Jiang Xia
“Yes, I want to ask someone to kill the fish.” Mother Zhou responded quickly, then stood up and said to her family: “You eat slowly, the fish killer will come "
After saying that, she held the bowl and walked out of the yard.
Jiang Xia recognized the voice of the heroine and glanced at Zhou Chenglei subconsciously.
Zhou Chenglei saw her looking at him and thought she couldn't finish eating, so he said: "Eat as much as you can, and give me the leftovers."
Jiang Xia lowered her head and continued to eat, going to sea It was physical work, and she was tired and hungry at the moment.
More and more people’s voices came from outside the yard. It must be that all the people invited by Zhou’s mother to kill the fish have arrived.
Father Zhou put down his bowl and went out after he was full.
Zhou Chenglei was also full. He did not go out, but stayed with Jiang Xia.
When Jiang Xia and Zhou Zhou were full, he said to Jiang Xia: "You can take a shower after taking a rest."
Jiang Xia responded.
Zhou Chenglei packed up the dishes and went out to wash them.
There were seven or eight people killing fish in the yard, so Zhou Chenglei went to the kitchen to wash dishes.
Everyone was surprised to see Zhou Chenglei washing the dishes.
Wen Wan was also surprised, and felt that Zhou Chenglei was a good husband.
Some people disagree very much. Why do men wash dishes? She asked Zhou's mother: "Where is your little daughter-in-law? She doesn't wash the dishes, so let Ah Lei do it? You don't care? You are riding on Ah Lei's head!"
Zhou's mother: "It's just washing the dishes, who Isn’t it the same with washing? Xiaoxia has been busy at sea today and is tired. Isn’t it normal for Ah Lei to wash?” She didn't let Jiang Xia wash it.
My grandma said with a smile, "I just wash the dishes, what's the point? Only when a man loves his wife will he be prosperous. Your uncle washes my clothes for me!"
Tang The eldest uncle pursed her lips and thought, so the eldest uncle will be ridden by you for the rest of his life and there will be no future!
Zhou's mother smiled and said: "A Lei also helps Xiao Xia wash clothes."
After hearing this, the people in the village couldn't help laughing and said: "Whoever marries into your family will enjoy happiness when marrying A Lei. Your daughter-in-law's life "Okay!"
That's what she said, but she didn't think so in her heart. She married a city wife and couldn't do anything but herself. It has long been spread throughout Jiangxia that Tian Caihua can’t cook anything and is too lazy to cook!
As for taking Jiang Xia to sea, saying that she is good at sea is just a coincidence. She is so lucky every time she goes to sea if she has the ability.
Wen Wan looked at Zhou Chenglei and thought: Good men like Zhou Chenglei are extinct in this era. Men in this era basically don’t do housework, and Zhou Chenglei is still the richest man in the future. Of course you will be happy marrying him, otherwise Will Jiang Xia refuse to leave?
Wen Wan had another dream last night. She dreamed that Zhou Chenglei caught a lot of golden pomfret, and the Zhou family hired someone to kill and dry the fish. The most important thing is that Zhou Chenglei will pick up a lot of pearl oysters when he goes to sea tomorrow!
So she came over and saw the yard full of golden pomfrets. The Zhou family really hired someone to kill the fish, and her dream came true again.
No, she has to find a way to get Zhou Chenglei to take her out to sea.
Jiang Xia came out at this time and saw that everyone just cut open the belly of the tuna and took out the internal organs.
Jiang Xia went to the kitchen to find another chopping board and kitchen knife.
When Zhou Chenglei saw her holding a kitchen knife and a chopping board, he said: "Don't kill the fish, just let others do it. You should take a bath and rest early."
Jiang Xia: "It's okay, I'll teach you how to kill it. The gold will be exposed like that. Pomfret dries faster, looks good when steamed and is easy to eat."
Jiang Xia came to Zhou's mother, put down the chopping board, took a fish, and then said to everyone: "Aunts, I plan to use these golden pomfrets. Kill it this way, it will be easier to dry, you all have a look!"
Wen Wan glanced at Jiang Xia, can she kill fish?
Except for Grandma’s family, other women also had the same doubts.
Then everyone saw Jiang Xia take a golden pomfret from the basket, cut open the belly of the fish neatly with a knife, and then scraped it with a knife, all the internal organs inside came out, and then she cut the fish neatly I cut a few times and divided the fish evenly into several sections, each section about one finger wide.
She picked up the whole fish, and the fish sections were not disconnected, but still connected together. The whole process takes less than a minute, and the technique is skillful.
Wen Wan looked at Jiang Xia in surprise. Is this knife skill better than hers?
The woman just couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect Ah Lei's wife to be so good at killing fish."
As expected, Tian Caihua said nothing true!
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Xiaoxia can do everything quickly, quickly and well, I can't even compare to it!"
Jiang Xia said again: "Aunts, just kill like me, try your best Don’t disconnect it, okay?”
The uncle was not happy about how much work it would take, so she said, “Isn’t this too much trouble? And what if I accidentally cut off the piece?” , wouldn’t it be more troublesome to stuff it together?”
Jiang Xia: “I know it’s troublesome, but it’s easier to dry it in the sun. If you kill it like this, I’ll give you two cents per fish, and I’ll just cut it open. The price for removing the internal organs from the belly is the same as what my mother said. What do you think? But try not to cut it off. If you accidentally cut it off, you can string it up with a rope."
Mother Zhou: "..."
Two cents to kill a fish? A little distressed!
She originally agreed to kill all the fish for one dollar per person.
She invited eight people, and the total cost was only eight yuan.
I don’t know how much it will cost now.
However, Zhou's mother was sensible and did not refute Jiang Xia's words. The next time she hires someone to work, she should discuss it with Jiang Xia first, otherwise it will be a big loss.
As soon as Tang Auntie heard about two cents a piece, she immediately said: "Two cents a piece? Okay! Can I also make up for the ones I killed earlier?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay."
"Then we will kill them like this."
Two cents a fish. As long as there are enough fish, they can make two or three yuan in two hours, which is equivalent to going out to work. That’s a lot of money earned in one day’s work.
And Jiang Xia's method is not difficult, just a few more cuts. After all, they are all used to killing fish, so it is really not difficult for them.
Usually they weave fishing nets, but they can’t even make a dollar a day!
Everyone's enthusiasm was instantly raised, and they fought even more energetically.
Mother Zhou worked very hard to save an extra two cents. Now it’s a piece-rate payment, so if you can save an extra two cents, you’ll get two cents.
Jiang Xia had nothing to do, so he moved a small stool and wanted to follow suit.
Zhou Chenglei came over after washing the dishes and stood up gently, "Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chenglei nodded in agreement. Without looking at her, he took Jiang Xia's hand: "Don't be busy now, I have something to do." Discuss with you."
Jiang Xia looked at him: "What's the matter?"
"Something's wrong." Zhou Chenglei took the small stool from her hand and put it down, pulling her back to the room.
When the woman in the village saw it, she couldn't help but joke: "Hey, does Ah Lei feel sorry for his wife and don't want her to kill the fish?"
The grandma said with a smile: "It hurts to have a wife back! If he doesn't love her, who will? Besides, only men who love their wives are prosperous!"
Mother Zhou also said cheerfully: "You don't know that Xiao Xia Tian followed Ah Lei before dawn? It’s been a tiring day at sea. It’s time to take a rest.”
Looking at Zhou Chenglei holding Jiang Xia’s wrist, Wen Wan even felt like her man had been dirty by Jiang Xia!
At that moment, she even had an impulse: to rush forward and separate the two of them!
She really couldn't hold it back and chased after him: "Brother Zhou!"
