Chapter 31 Another plan to make money
The sky is getting dark.
When Zhao Dahai returned home, Zhong Cuihua had just cooked the rice and immediately walked over to help get the bowls and chopsticks to put the food on. The weather was a bit hot, so it was more comfortable to eat in the yard. Eat dry when you are busy and thin when you are free. The sweet potato porridge cooked for dinner was served with some fried salted fish.
While eating, Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that repairing the ship would cost about 20,000 yuan.
“The sea!”
"It costs so much money!"
Zhong Cuihua was stunned for a moment, this is a lot of money.
“Grandma!”
“Don’t worry about this.”
“Just make no money.”
"Are you afraid of this if you have both hands and feet?"
"The crab, tiger fish and blue crab have made almost four thousand yuan."
"The money we are short of will not take long. Anyway, we Don’t be in a hurry, save slowly, and repair it when you have the money.”
Zhao Dahai took a piece of salted fish and chewed it twice. Take it out and dry it twice for a while, then it will be really delicious.
Zhong Cuihua nodded and said nothing more.
Zhao Dahai knew that grandma Zhong Cuihua was determined to weave more fishing nets, so he had to be careful and not let her do it. As she got older, it was okay to do some work, but not too much. Weaving fishing nets took a long time, which was very tiring for the eyes and attention. Not in good health.
The next day.
Zhao Dahai got up early in the morning and as soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua going out with a small half bucket of water. She was going to water vegetables. He walked over and took over the filling and carried it to the back of the house. Walk to the vegetable patch.
Zhong Cuihua sat on the edge of the field next to the vegetable field, holding a small handful of grass torn from the vegetable field in her hand.
"Aunt Zhao."
Zhong Cuihua heard someone shouting loudly in front of the yard and responded.
“Hey!”
“Aunt Zhao.”
“Who are you busy here?!”
Ma Hongyu shouted as she walked away He went to Zhong Cuihua and sat directly on the field ridge. Last night I was thinking about finding Zhong Cuihua today, so I came over after breakfast early in the morning.
"What can I be busy with?? At this age, I can't do anything."
"It's just a drag."
Zhong Cuihua looked at Zhao Dahai as she spoke.
“Aunt Zhao.”
“I don’t like to hear what you say.”
"What does it mean to be a drag?! Who doesn't have time to grow old?!"
"Dahai is now sensible and willing to work hard and will make money. Enjoy his happiness."
"In a few years, I will save Spend some money, marry a granddaughter-in-law, and have a few fat grandsons running around in front of you."
Ma Hongyu kept talking.
“Hehehe!”
"This is what I'm looking forward to now."
Zhong Cuihua laughed, this is what she is looking forward to most now.
Zhao Dahai held a water ladle in his hand and watered the soil slowly. When it was poured on the soil, the color immediately turned darker. The vegetable seeds that had been sown earlier had sprouted, and they were densely packed and half-grown. Finger-high, these vegetable seedlings grow very fast and can be transplanted in five or six days. Most of the beans, loofahs, cucumbers, and even pumpkin seeds have sprouted. If you look through the soil, you can see that they have been planted this year. It's late, it's not particularly in season, it will grow as long as it can, and a good harvest will have to wait until next year.
Zhao Dahai couldn't hear clearly what Ma Hongyu said, but it must be something good, otherwise grandma wouldn't be able to smile happily. Ma Hongyu came to the door so early just to chat with her grandma? ! To make grandma happy? He's not a bastard or a second-rate guy, so who has nothing to do? It's really okay. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit and lie down at home?
Zhao Dahai continued to water.
The sun rises slowly.
The fog cleared. Zhao Dahai finished watering the vegetable field and returned to the yard with the empty bucket and Zhong Cuihua. Ma Hongyu had left ten minutes earlier.
“The sea.”
“No one has come to my door in the past two years!”
Zhong Cuihua sighed.
Zhao Dahai smiled. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was from a very clean family and knew why Ma Hongyu came to her door.
Why has no one come to your door in the past two years? Why did Ma Hongyu just come to the door?
My father and mother had an accident and passed away. People in the village always felt that they and their grandma Zhong Cuihua could not live together, or they simply looked down upon her. There was definitely no one coming to the door, and many people even stayed away, worried about borrowing money or something. Now I see myself no longer being an asshole and starting to work and start making money. People in the village changed their attitude. To put it nicely, face is earned by oneself. To put it more bluntly and directly, it means that when you are rich, there are people who know you in the mountains, but when you are poor, no one cares about you in the city. Things are different but the principles are the same.
“Grandma.”
"More people will come to the door."
Zhao Dahai walked to the corner, put down the bucket, and walked into the kitchen to cook breakfast.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
After Zhao Dahai finished breakfast, his grandma Zhong Cuihua continued to weave fishing nets. After chatting with him for a while, he walked out of the yard and strolled towards the village pier.
The sun at half height was scorching, making my skin a little hot.
The sea breeze blew by, bringing with it a fishy and salty smell.
“Hey!”
“There are no fish today.”
……
“I went out to sea to cast a net at five o’clock in the morning and just came back.”
"Three to five kilograms of small miscellaneous fish."
......
"It was windy for a few days, and the weather finally got better. I thought I could earn some money for firewood, rice, oil and salt. But I didn't expect it at all. Where’s the fish?”
……
“What the hell!”
"No one has gone fishing in the past few days. Why are there still so few fish in the sea? Where have they gone?!"
......
Zhao Dahai Station At the pier, people on the fishing boats in the village were talking and envious.
It’s great to have a fishing boat!
Can’t catch fish for a while?
This is a normal thing. No matter what you do, you can’t eat meat every day, right?
The key is that only fishing boats can go to sea. As long as you can go to sea, there is hope.
Zhao Dahai pulled his hair hard. He had to seize the time to make money and save enough 20,000 yuan to repair the fishing boat. But, who doesn’t want to make money? But where is this money so easy to make?
Crab tiger fish?
Blue crab?
All can make money.
The reef had been fished out long ago. Big crab tiger? There are probably only a few seedlings. The mangroves are very big, and there are blue crabs there, but they have to go farther. The tide rises and falls, which can last only a few hours, and you can't run very far even if you run around. I can catch everything I can. Zhong Shizhu and the others spent a whole day drilling in the mangroves yesterday but found nothing. Regardless of crab, tiger, fish or blue crab, it will take a year and a half to get the land.
What to do?
Zhao Dahai’s brain almost exploded. There are very few ways to make money in fishing villages. Going to sea is almost the only way to make money. However, those who want to go to sea have fishing boats. If they want to have fishing boats, they must first have the money to repair them. But if you don't have fishing boats, you can't make money by going to sea. This is an endless loop.
Zhao Dahai saw a dead snail on the ground and kicked it into the sea in frustration. Several small fish were frightened and jumped forward, causing small splashes on the calm sea.
Zhao Dahai laughed when he saw the jumping fish that had traveled more than ten meters and stopped next to a wooden pile.
What can you catch and make money without a fishing boat?
Isn’t this ready-made?
The price of jumping fish, especially the pink minnows among them, is not low. Yesterday when blue crabs were sold, a piece of paper was posted in front of Liu Gang's restaurant, saying that he had purchased some seafood at high prices. I glanced at it and saw that among them There are pink minnows, and the key is that when I was catching blue crabs a few days ago, I saw a lot of jumping fish on the tidal flats next to the mangroves.
