Chapter 169: Get the fish maw! This is technical work!
Zhang Li sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time.
Ding Xiaoxiang sat on the small sofa opposite, still saying nothing.
“Hmph!”
“Don’t you have nothing to say?”
Zhang Mai thought that if he didn't say anything, Ding Xiaoxiang would not be able to bear the pressure and take the initiative to say something. Especially if he had any contact with Zhao Dahai, Shitou also didn't say a word.
“Ah?”
“Mom!”
“What do you want me to say? I don’t dare to breathe now, so how can I dare to speak? ?”
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.
Zhang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes, her big black eyes kept turning around, as if she didn't dare to breathe.
“Okay!”
“Can I not know who you are?”
“Tell me about it!”
“ What’s going on between You and Zhao Dahai?”
Zhang Li asked directly without beating around the bush.
"What does it have to do with it? It's just an admission."
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head and never admitted it. Don't look at Zhang Lili's frank and lenient look. Once she really said It will definitely stir up a hornet's nest. Even if you can't go out at home, it's considered a light thing.
Zhang Li was furious for a while, and Ding Xiaoxiang refused to admit that she really had no good solution.
“Mom!”
"Your daughter is young now, but she will get married one day. You have to admit this, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether Zhao Dahai or Li Dahai or Zhao Xiaohai or whatever, she will make money, especially Being able to hurt people is important, right?"
Ding Xiaoxiang thought for a while and gritted her teeth. She had wanted to talk about this for a long time. After the New Year, she would be seventeen, how could she stare at it all day? Own.
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment.
Yes!
My daughter is young now, but she will get married one day, and she cannot stay by her side all the time.
Why do you keep staring at it?
Ding Xiaoxiang is right, it is important to be able to make money, especially if you can love someone. Whether the person you marry is named Zhao Dahai, Li Dahai or Li Xiaohai is not important.
“Mom!”
“Are you crazy?”
Ding Xiaoxiang was a little uneasy, and Zhang Li didn't speak for a while.
“Hmph!”
“How old are you? Are you thinking about getting married? Are you ashamed?”
Zhang Li stood up and gently He patted Ding Xiaoxiang on the head, turned around and walked out.
Ding Xiaoxiang was a little dumbfounded. She originally thought that there would be a storm in the three-chamber trial, but she didn’t expect that she passed the test easily. Is this her mother?
Zhang Li returned to her room, sat on a chair, and sighed a little in her heart. Her daughter has really grown up. It makes sense. Men really do these two things. They can make money and love others.
Will Zhao Dahai make money?
It’s really good at making money!
Does it hurt?
There are really not many people who can do this.
Is it possible to say that we don’t care about these two people’s affairs?
Zhang Li frowned and thought for a long time. She couldn't decide, so she could only let it go and talk about it later.
Hongyun Restaurant.
Liu Gang looked at the big owl in the big refrigerator and sighed, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it off.
“These are pretty good-sized fish.”
"How about the currency price of 150 yuan per catty?"
Liu Gang took a look and found that all the small anchovies that Zhao Dahai took out of the refrigerator were more than one catty, and the largest one was more than five catties. a little.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and nodded. The price of the small catfish is about the same as that of the spring fish. This price is quite reasonable.
“Forty-five catties of owl, six thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan.”
“Thirty-two catties of Shi Jiugong, one thousand three hundred and twenty-six yuan.”
"The total is eight thousand and seventy-six yuan."
Liu Gang looked at the big eel fish in the big refrigerator again and was a little reluctant to give up. He asked if he would sell it, and he immediately took it for two hundred thousand yuan. The price If it's higher, you need to consider these things, especially ask your boss.
Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head. He had really made up his mind not to sell it. The fish head stone of the giant owl is very good for the health of children. The isinglass made from the fish fat is good for the body after childbirth. A woman's recovery is very useful. You may only be able to catch one such big fish in your life, so you have to keep it for yourself. If you sell it and you have money someday, you won't be able to buy it.
Zhao Dahai collected the money and rode a tricycle home.
Liu Gang was very helpless and turned back to the restaurant. Money can buy a lot of things, but sometimes he can't buy what he wants. Zhao Dahai can now make money and starts thinking about good things for himself.
Zhao Dahai took the big fish home and drove the tricycle directly into the courtyard gate.
“Grandma!”
Zhao Dahai shouted.
“Yo!”
“You’re back?!”
Zhong Cuihua walked out of the house, and Xiao Naihei followed her closely.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that he planned not to sell the fish.
“Okay!”
“This is good!”
Zhong Cuihua immediately agreed without saying a word. She grew up in a small fishing village and is very aware of the uses of fish head stone and isinglass. , one is for postpartum recovery, and the other is for children. If Zhao Dahai doesn’t sell it, he must support it.
"Ha!"
"Grandma!"
"Someone has already offered 150,000 yuan!"
Zhao Dahai teased Zhong Cuihua.
“Yo?!”
"What happened to 150,000 yuan?"
"How about keeping it for your family? We are not short of this little money."
"Children and grandchildren are the most important!"
Zhong Cuihua waved her hand. One hundred and fifty thousand is indeed a lot of money. But compared with the health of my grandson-in-law and grandsons, I don’t take it lightly. It's very honorable for people near the fishing village to have something like this hidden in their homes. It can be of great use at critical times. This is not something money can buy. It’s not like we can’t afford food now, so we don’t have to sell it. The logic here is very clear.
Zhao Dahai immediately went out to find Zhao Shi. He had to find an expert to open the fish maw and get the fish fat. He couldn't do this job himself.
Zhao Dahai called Second Grandpa, and someone opened the door and walked in. He saw Zhao Shi sitting on the threshold smoking hookah, and Second Grandma Huang Huangtao choosing vegetables next to him and expressing his thoughts.
“Hey!”
“The sea.”
“You did this right.”
“Those fishes like blue spots are sold Sell it as soon as you catch it. You really have to keep this kind of big badfish, especially the fish maw and fish stones. It is unlikely that you will catch such a big badfish again in your life. ”
As Huang Huangtao spoke, she glared at Zhao Shi and joked that she was not so lucky when she got married and had children.
"I have never caught such a big fish in my whole life."
"Where did you get the isinglass?"
Zhao Shi shook his head, don't talk about himself, In the past twenty years, no one in the surrounding villages has caught such a big owl. There are quite a few large trawlers in the deep sea that weigh twenty to thirty kilograms. I have never heard of such a fish weighing more than a hundred kilograms. Zhao Dahai is really Don't know what kind of luck it is.
“There is a man in the next village.”
"I have such skill in my hands."
"Come with me now."
Zhao Shi knows that Zhao Dahai can make money now, so he can keep it for himself if he wants. For yourself, fish maws and fish stones can be stored for a long time. If you are really short of money, you can sell them. This is hard currency that can be cashed in at any time.
Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi immediately went to the next village. After searching for a while, they found a low house and knocked on the door. After a while, a man in his early sixties with a wrinkled face appeared. The old man came out.
"Sun Er."
"Come and live!"
"Pack your things and come with me."
Zhao Shi spoke directly. "What kind of work?"
"Let me be clear. Can I just get a hoe and follow you?"
Sun Er glared at Zhao Shi.
“Bah!”
“Can you still carry a hoe?”
“A hundred catties of giant anchovy fish, I have to ask you to get the fish maw and Fish Head Stone!"
"Hurry up!"
Zhao Shi is welcome. The two of them have known each other since they were young.
“Huh?”
“Are you talking nonsense?”
“How can there be such a big owl?”
Sun Er glared Big eyes shook his head.
"Hey!"
"Why are you so verbose? Is there such a big fish that you can just go and see? Is this even possible to deceive people!"
Zhao Shi was impatient.
“Okay!”
“Wait!”
"If you are not so big, you will be responsible for tonight's dinner!"
"Two kilograms of wine!"
Sun Er said as he turned back to the house, and after a while he carried it A canvas bag came out, containing the knife for eating.
Zhao Dahai drove Zhao Shi and Sun Er back home on a tricycle without saying a word.
“Do it!”
"Is it really such a big owl?!"
Sun Er was stunned.
"Don't you know? Where did you end up in this business? I have never seen a fish like this!"
Zhao Shi laughed at Sun Er .
“Bah!”
"You have been fishing for forty years, have you ever caught such a big fish?"
"Forget it."
"Don't say you can catch it. Have you ever seen such a big owl? Fish? "
Sun Er immediately replied.
Zhao Shi can’t help it, he really hasn’t seen it.
"What's your boy's name? Did you catch this fish?"
Sun Er turned his head and looked at Zhao Dahai.
"My name is Zhao Dahai. This fish was caught yesterday. Good luck."
Zhao Dahai patted the fish.
"This fish is big. Why don't you sell it? The cost of getting the fish maw is five thousand yuan. You may think it's not worthwhile."
Sun Er carefully looked at the price of the fish.
“Okay!”
Zhao Dahai didn’t bargain.
Sun Er turned his head and looked at Zhao Shi.
“That’s it! Do a good job.”
Zhao Shi took a sip and nodded.
Sun Er said nothing and started working immediately. The fish was weighed on the scale and weighed one hundred and eleven pounds. It was really big. It had been weighed down by ice all night and had to be defrosted first. , and it wasn’t until nine o’clock in the morning the next day that we started to open the fish to get fish stones and fish fat.
Zhao Dahai looked at the closed door and originally wanted to see how to get it, but the fish was thawed and Sun Er asked for the room, so he locked the door and worked alone. No one was allowed. Look, if you give us seawater, you can only leave it at the door, and you won’t even take a look inside.
Zhao Dahai was a little regretful. There was no way around it. It was a craft. Sun Er was not related to him, so there was no reason for him to see it.
Zhao Dahai waited until six o'clock in the afternoon before the door opened. Sun Er walked out with a tired face, holding a basin in his hand, containing a fish fat that was as wide as a child's thigh at its thickest part. There is a translucent stone-like thing as big as a fist, which is a fish-headed fish stone.
Sun Er walked to the dustpan he had prepared earlier, picked up the fish maw, carefully flattened it and straightened it.
"Okay!"
"You old man's craftsmanship is indeed excellent!"
Zhao Shi stood in front of the dustpan, looked at it carefully, and kept nodding.
“Hmph!”
"You must do a good job for the money you get!"
Sun Er took the fish stone in the basin and placed it next to the fish belly. This thing also needs to be dried.
“Don’t put this thing in the sun directly.”
……
“Don’t let it get wet with dew.”
......
"You have to provide a ventilated place."
"Anything under the eaves will do."
......
"Now in the dustpan It needs to be set. It will be set in two days and can be hung to dry. ”
...
"You dry the fish yourself. It doesn't take much care. I've already salted it. It can be hung up at nine or ten o'clock in the evening."
"How do you dry it in the village? Just dry the salted fish.”
……
“Old!”
"I can't bear it anymore!"
"I'll go back first. Come and have a look tomorrow morning."
......
Zhao Dahai immediately took the cash he had prepared and added A cigarette was handed to Sun Er, and he walked out of the door and watched it go away before returning to the yard.
“Second Grandpa!”
"How can you tell that the fish maw is good?"
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish maw on the dustpan. Sun Er didn't say anything, but Zhao Shi was his second grandfather, so he asked if he didn't understand.
“Everyone can take the fish maw.”
“We can do this kind of work just like we have a knife!”
“The great thing about old man Sun Er is that he can Get it complete. Second, it can be washed cleanly."
"For such a big fish, there are a lot of things connected to the fish fat. Inexperienced people don't know which things should be kept and which ones should not be kept. There are too many things, especially if there are too many things missing. The price of this thing is really bad. Far away.”
“The fish fat is not clean. There are some blood streaks or other things. There is a way to wash them clean.”
“ That’s why Sun Er didn’t show it.”
Zhao Dahai looked carefully at the fish belly on the dustpan while listening to Zhao Shi. The fish belly is translucent white, so clean that there are no blood lines or impurities. When I get closer and smell it, there is no fishy smell at all.
Zhao Dahai sent Zhao Shi away. When he came back, he saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua looking at the fish maw on the edge of the dustpan. She kept laughing and couldn't help but feel happy. He probably wasn't looking at the fish maw but thinking about when his granddaughter-in-law would marry. When will the great-grandchildren be born?
Zhao Dahai walked into the room. The big eel fish cut in half was placed on a bamboo mat. He looked at the cutting edge. It was extremely smooth. He couldn't do it just because of this. He didn't have the strength to do it. Things to come.
Zhao Dahai looked at the whole fish carefully. It was very clean and amazing. The five thousand yuan was so worth it.
Late night.
Zhao Dahai took the ladder and hung the whole owl fish on a bamboo frame under the eaves. The night wind blew and swayed slightly, creating a huge shadow. The fish was really big.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish maw hanging on the dustpan and regretted a little. He went to the town and the news spread. Don’t look at it. He said clearly that it was left for his future daughter-in-law to eat during her confinement period, but she would definitely not give up. The seafood seller comes to your door.
Zhao Dahai had a headache, but he didn't worry about it. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, and he didn't talk until someone really came to the door.
