Chapter 101 A Small Promise
Zhao Dahai walked around the town a few times and bought some mung bean cakes for his grandma Zhong Cuihua and his second grandma Huang Huangtao. He saw that the time was almost eleven o'clock, so he rode his motorcycle. Returning to the fish market, I walked into the gate and took a look from a distance. I only saw Ding Xiaoxiang, and she immediately walked over quickly carrying the foam box. Zhang Li was not there, so I had to hurry up.
“Where is your mother?”
Zhao Dahai walked up to Ding Xiaoxiang.
“Huh?!”
"I just walked home to cook lunch."
"What's the matter?"
Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and blushed.
Zhao Dahai pretended not to see it, while Ding Xiaoxiang's face was relatively tender. She just understood the meaning of what she just said. She didn't need to explain it clearly. She put down the foam box she was carrying and opened it.
“Sandfish.”
"Caught these days."
Zhao Dahai said as he peeled away the broken ice, revealing a layer of neatly arranged sand pointed fish.
“The size is okay.”
“This fish is very easy to sell.”
“If they are all about this size, it will cost eight yuan and fifty cents per catty.”
"I took them all!"
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at the fish and decided to take them. The sand pointed fish is really easy to sell in the market.
Zhao Dahai shook his head, some smaller ones, and some small black sea bream, peeled off the ice layer by layer, cleaned out the fish, separated them into different baskets, different fish are different The price is different for different sizes of the same fish.
“The smaller sand pointed fish costs six yuan and a pound, and the larger one is the eight yuan and fifty cents I just mentioned. These black snapper are a little smaller, not as good as last time. Yes, there are one or two big ones, the currency is five yuan a pound."
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at the sand tip fish and black snapper divided into three baskets, and the prices were all 50 cents higher than the market price. money.
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything and immediately bought the fish. Now there are fishing boats out to sea for fishing. He often chats with people like Zhong Shizhu. He knows that the purchase price is definitely not lower than other places. How could he not sell it? The price is even lower than other places. For sale, Ding Xiaoxiang is selling at a higher price now and is selling happily.
“The big sand tip fish weighs thirty-six pounds and seven taels.”
“It’s as small as three pounds and four taels.”
“The black snapper weighs seven pounds and three taels. ."
"A total of three hundred and sixty-nine dollars, or three hundred and seventy cents."
Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, who was clicking the calculator quickly. Even though he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a good businessman with very nimble hands and feet.
“A few days ago I caught an eighty-two-pound gentian grouper.”
“Ah? Such a big fish? Why are you so powerful?”
"Sold to Liu Gang's restaurant. I don't know if it's sold now."
……
"Who is your fishing captain like?"
"Next time you go to Langtou Village to collect fish or something, I will take you to have a look."
......
< br>"Is there a ceremony for launching a new fishing boat?"
"Nothing! Just set off a firecracker. When I make money, I will come see you when I change the fishing boat."
< br>
...
Zhao Dahai did not leave immediately after selling the fish. He chatted with Ding Xiaoxiang and made an appointment to invite her to watch the launching ceremony next time he changed fishing boats.
“Huh?”
“It’s almost twelve o’clock!”
“My mother is about to deliver food to me.”
Ding Xiaoxiang looked up at the clock hanging in the corner and was startled. She only had a few words with Zhao Dahai, but it was already twelve o'clock. Zhao Dahai knew what was going on, so he didn't stay any longer. He said that he would bring the fish next time he turned around and left quickly. To be honest, he felt a little guilty for worrying about someone else's fifteen or sixteen year old daughter. How could he not be with her? It would be better for Zhang Li to face him or not.
Zhao Dahai parked his motorcycle in front of Zhao Shi's house. He walked into the yard carrying the mung bean cake he bought. He saw Huang Jintao choosing vegetables and Zhao Shi sitting on the threshold smoking a hookah.
“Second Grandma.”
“I went to the town to sell fish, and this is the mung bean cake I bought for you.”
Zhao Dahai walked to Huang Jintao, opened the bag of mung bean cake he was carrying, and took out a piece.
“Yo!”
“You kid bought me delicious food again.”
“Leave it for now! I’ll finish choosing the dishes before eating!”
Huang Huangtao smiled. His two children were working outside, and his grandson was taking them with him outside. Normally, he and Zhao Shi were alone. Zhao Dahai was very happy to come.
"How can we wait?"
"Taste it before we talk!"
Zhao Dahai took the mung bean cake and put it directly to Huang Jintao's mouth.
I took a bite of the golden peach and said it was delicious.
“Hmph!”
"What are you spending this money on? You finally made some money and put it in your pocket. Don't spend it everywhere."
Zhao Shi blew out a puff of smoke and glared at Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai pretended not to hear what Zhao Shi said, put down the mung bean cake in his hand and put it aside, helping Golden Peach pick the vegetables before leaving to go home.
Zhao Shi remembered what Zhu Jianfei had mentioned, waited for Zhao Dahai to leave, and told Huang Huangtao.
“The boy Dahai is right.”
"The child from Sister Zhu Jianfei's family has been working outside for several years. He definitely doesn't want to marry someone from the fishing village. It's not that he is not good, but he is not worthy of Dahai's child."
Huang Huangtao felt that Zhao Dahai said That's right.
Zhao Shi smoked a hookah with his head down, thinking about finding a time to talk to Zhu Jianfei about this matter.
When Zhao Dahai was having dinner, he remembered what Zhao Shi had told him about Zhu Jianfei’s elder sister and granddaughter. He said it, no matter what he thought, grandma Zhong Cuihua had to know about it. Don’t let Zhu Jianfei run into grandma one day. When Zhong Cuihua was mentioned, she didn't know anything about it, which is looking down on people.
After listening, Zhong Cuihua nodded, thinking about hugging her great-grandson, but Zhao Dahai was right about this matter. Not many people who go out to work are willing to marry in the village, and they all want to run away. Zhao Dahai You can definitely meet me if you go out to work, but it’s really not suitable to stay in a fishing village.
After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, the weather was bad and he would not be able to go fishing tomorrow. He asked his grandma to sit in the sunbathing field, but grandma refused, saying that she was too old to move.
Zhao Dahai knew that he wanted to weave more fishing nets when he stayed at home. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to force himself. He couldn't just listen to what he said and do everything. He went out alone and walked to the village to dry the sun. At first glance, there were a lot of people there. Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin sat together and walked over.
“You can’t do anything in this damn weather.”
……
“What’s going on?”
......
"Is it going to take three or five days to get over the white-headed wave?"
......
Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin was cursing the weather.
Zhao Dahai just found a place to sit down. The white-headed waves are no joke. They usually take several days to stop. The sea water is affected and becomes turbid. You have to wait for the water to clear before you can find fish, shrimps and crabs. , counting the seven or eight days without seeing each other, it is indeed very uncomfortable.
Zhao Dahai was very lucky that he went fishing in the heavy rain yesterday and made some money. With the income, he would not be left in vain.
