Chapter 219 It’s time for best friends to come on stage
As soon as Ding Xiaoxiang entered the fish market, there were many people coming to buy fish, shrimps and crabs. People who had gathered in a circle in front of her stall immediately trotted over and put aside their matters for tomorrow. , I will think of ways to help with business later.
“The red fish is pretty good today!”
“It’s not too big or too small at two pounds! It’s the most delicious!”
……
"This big mackerel just arrived at the stall today. Buy as much as you want and cut it!"
...
"This is a Balang fish! Don't look at the small size but it's full of meat!"
……
“You want to buy these prawns, right? The boat put out the net in the early morning.”
"The price of this must be a little more expensive!"
......
Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li were busy, and the number of fish, shrimps and crabs on the fish stall decreased rapidly.
“Huh?”
“Is business so good today? Why is everything sold out so early?”
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at the clock hanging on the wall. All the fish stalls were sold out before nine o'clock. The business of her fish stall was very good, but it usually took about ten o'clock to sell enough.
“Today’s fish, shrimps and crabs are more beautiful, they are bigger and the price has not increased.”
“They are all regular customers, and they know very well that they must hurry up.”< br>
Zhang Li drank some water. She was really busy just now.
Ding Xiaoxiang took off the gloves on her hands, washed them, took her own thermos cup, drank some water, pulled up a chair and sat down to rest.
What should I say?
Ding Xiaoxiang thought of Zhao Dahai’s appointment with her to go to the city to watch speedboats tomorrow. Her little head ached thinking about it and she couldn’t think of a way.
It’s over!
Is it impossible to go?
But I really want to see what kind of speedboat Zhao Dahai is planning to buy!
……
That’s right!
Zhao Dahai doesn't know how to bargain, so I must go and help.
What should I do if I am deceived by others?
Don’t you have to spend more money?
This is all hard-earned money!
……
The more Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it, the more she felt that she had to go.
How can you deceive me?
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhang Li, who was sitting opposite her.
"Ah?"
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Li was a little strange. Ding Xiaoxiang didn't know what she was thinking just now, and then she looked at herself again.
"I'm wondering if I should ask dad to bring more fish and shrimp tomorrow?"
"Business is so good, sell more and make more money."
Ding Xiaoxiang remained calm.
"Okay!"
"Go back and talk to your dad about this tonight. I think I can sell an extra two hundred pounds tomorrow!"
Zhang Li nodded. The business was indeed good. She could bring in more fish, shrimps and crabs to sell and make more money. She never thought that Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai had made an appointment to go to the city to watch the speedboats tomorrow.
Langtou Village.
Zhao Dahai's tricycle drove into the yard. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was not weaving fishing nets in the main room. When she walked behind the house, she saw her walking around in the vegetable field with Xiao Naihei.
"Huh?"
"Hai Dahai."
"Didn't you say you went to the city to watch speedboats today?"
Zhong Cuihua saw Zhao Dahai He came over immediately. If he came back so early, he must not have gone to the city.
"Ha!"
"Grandma!"
"I made an appointment with someone who knows how to speedboat. Let's go to the city together tomorrow to have a good look."
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything about Ding Xiaoxiang, everything went very smoothly, but he didn't say anything about it, so it was of no use.
Zhao Dahai looked at the vegetable garden. The vegetables that were replanted after the typhoon, such as beans and melons, have begun to grow. In half a month, there will be enough vegetables to eat.
Zhao Dahai has not stayed in the vegetable garden all the time. He has been traveling to the sea recently. He has not driven his own fishing boat for several days. Today he has time to go out for a walk. There are some weeds growing in the vegetable garden. Grandma Zhong Cuihua can be alone in the fishing village. The old people inside can work and will keep working. It is not a good thing to eat and drink all day without moving and doing nothing.
The sun is hanging in the sky and it is very hot.
Zhao Dahai arrived at the pier, got on the fishing boat, cleaned it up, washed the deck with sea water, untied the cable, pulled up the anchor, and sailed out. Fishing boats or diesel engines have to be moved, otherwise they are very easy to break. After turning around, I saw a lot of fishing boats fishing in the inland sea. Several familiar fishing spots were crowded with fishing boats. When passing by the reef trench, I stopped deliberately. After a rough count, there were about twenty fishing boats. After watching them for almost twenty minutes, few of them could catch fish.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. There are few fish in the inland sea and few fishing spots, but there are many fishing boats. They all have to make money and support their families. They can only be crowded together. There are too many monks and not enough gruel for everyone.
Zhao Dahai feels more and more that the decision to go to the open sea is correct. There are many fish in the open sea, and you can make money no matter how hard you work. People with ability have a greater chance of making big money. There are fewer fish, shrimps and crabs in the inland sea, so the sky is big. All my abilities are useless. There are no fish in the sea, so I can't change.
Zhao Dahai drove a fishing boat to the oyster field in Gangtou Village. There were not as many fishing boats as there were just after the typhoon, but there were still quite a few. After looking around for a while, he found that there were more fish caught here than at other fishing spots he had just seen. It's easier, you can always see a boat catching fish within seven or eight minutes.
Zhao Dahai squinted and looked up at the sun in the sky. It was still early. There were fishing rods in the cabin. He took them out and sorted them out. He drove the boat to Ma Tian and bought two bunches of oysters. Everyone is here, let’s fish and see.
Zhao Dahai took a three-finger-sized oyster, opened the shell with a knife, and hung the hook on the side of the oyster meat. The fishing boat drove to the oyster field, and other places were already occupied by fishing boats. Next, fish the oyster field near the wooden pile to see if there are any fish.
Zhao Dahai tried a dozen wooden stakes and only caught a small black sea bream as big as three fingers.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. It was calm today. These wooden piles in the oyster field were not like the sea water lapping when fishing before the last typhoon. The effect was much worse.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and decided to try to see if he could catch a few fish on the side of the oyster string. The black snapper in the oyster field would eat the oysters. The strings of oysters hanging on the side would There may be fish.
Zhao Dahai took the knife, opened another oyster, hung it on the hook, and put it down along the edge of a string of oysters. After waiting for three or four minutes, he changed to another string of oysters without moving. oyster.
Zhao Dahai tried for about ten minutes, changing seven or eight skewers of oysters. This time, just after one minute of putting it down, the tip of the rod shook lightly a few times.
“Here it comes.”
Zhao Dahai raised his pole to stab the fish, and the line immediately tightened. The hooked fish burrowed into the oyster field, and he immediately turned the spinning wheel to reel in the line and pulled it out hard. A black snapper as big as a palm was pulled out of the water.
Zhao Dahai flew the fish directly onto the boat without using a net, unhooked it and threw it into the live cabin. Black sea bream of this size is already very good, especially the ones grown in the oyster fields are very fat and delicious.
Zhao Dahai seizes the time and opens another oyster and immediately puts it down in the same position. No matter where the black snapper is, there are always groups. If he catches one, there will definitely be others around. If he doesn’t seize the time, , the fish school will disperse.
“Here we go again!”
Zhao Dahai just put the oyster hook into the sea, and when it sank less than half a meter, he watched helplessly as a black sea bream emerged from the water. He rushed out, bit the oyster and dragged it away. How could he be polite? He immediately raised his pole and saw another one.
Zhao Dahai fished for almost an hour at a stretch before the fish mouth disappeared. He fished in several places for almost two more hours but failed to find any fish.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. He thought this was normal when he didn't go to the open sea. But after a few trips to the open sea, the fish situation in front of him was really unbearable. Some time ago, he was able to make a lot of money fishing in the inland sea. He was really lucky. It's incredible.
Zhao Dahai looked at the live cabin, and there were more than a dozen fish, all of which were about seven or eight taels of black sea bream. Today was not about fishing to make money. The fish soup in the evening was not enough to eat. It was almost time, so he collected the fishing rods. Driving the fishing boat back to Langtou Village. Zhao Dahai stopped the fishing boat and tidied it up, cleaned the deck of the fishing boat, and took a net bag to put the fish in. It was not for sale. He took it back to eat and it was eaten immediately without any need to feed.
Zhao Dahai returned home and the rice was cooked. He immediately killed the fish and cleaned it. He heated the pot and put in a little oily fish and fried it for a while. Then he put in water to make soup and boiled the water for a while. After a while, it turned into milky white, and light yellow oil stars floated up. Add a little salt, put it in a big bowl and take it out.
“Grandma!”
"It's time to eat!"
Zhao Dahai walked to the main room with a large bowl of fish soup, placed it on the table, and filled it with rice. Although there was only fish soup, it was very luxurious, with more than ten pieces. I cooked all the black sea bream, worth three or four hundred yuan.
"Why are you cooking so much?"
Zhong Cuihua felt a little heartbroken.
“Ha!”
"Grandma!"
"It's not like we eat every day!"
"The key is that we don't lack this little money now. It's no problem to have a good meal every once in a while."
< br>Zhao Dahai took a plate with the largest black sea bream in the soup and placed it in front of Zhong Cuihua, so that it was convenient to eat.
“Okay!”
"That's right."
"There is indeed no shortage of money. We can afford such a meal."
Zhong Cuihua laughed. A few months ago, it would definitely not be possible. He was willing to eat, but it was different now. Zhao Dahai really made money.
Zhao Dahai drank a bowl of soup, which was fresh and sweet. He sipped his mouth and his lips were stained. He picked up a fish and took a bite. The fish meat was smooth and tender, especially in the inland sea, especially in the oyster fields. The black sea bream in places where food is abundant is really plump. For the same size, the price is one-quarter to one-third higher than elsewhere, which is not unreasonable.
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he had a good sleep. He got up at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, took the lamp he bought once to illuminate the squid and installed it on the boat. He went home and finished dinner. I came over again, got on the fishing boat and went to sea. I didn't go far. I found a place with deep water to stop and turned on the light. I didn't get the hairtail I wanted for three hours. I was a little disappointed. I couldn't help it. There were some in the sea. I can’t decide what to eat, so I pack my things, go back to the dock, take a shower and go to bed immediately when I get home.
Dashi Village.
Ding Xiaoxiang went out to Yang Qin’s house after dinner.
Yang Qin had just eaten and was very surprised to see Ding Xiaoxiang and didn't know what was going on.
Ding Xiaoxiang winked and pulled Yang Qin into the room.
“What happened?”
"Today is not Monday!"
Yang Qin was confused.
"Come to the city with me tomorrow."
Ding Xiaoxiang got straight to the point.
“Huh?”
"What is this for? Why did you go to the city?"
Yang Qin was startled.
Ding Xiaoxiang spent a whole day thinking about it. If she wanted to go to the city, she would definitely need Yang Qin’s help, and Yang Qin would have to go with her. Only then would my mother, Zhang Li, agree.
“Huh?”
“No way?”
"Have you made an appointment to see the speedboats in the city?"
Yang Qin was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect this to be the case.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to help you find out what's wrong with bargaining for something worth hundreds of thousands?"
Ding Xiaoxiang felt confident.
"Hee hee hee!"
"You haven't married yet! Are you just trying to help save money?"
Yang Qin made a joke.
Ding Xiaoxiang blushed, glared at Yang Qin fiercely, did not answer the question, and directly asked if she wanted help.
“Okay!”
"Help!"
"I'll have something delicious to eat at noon. Also, remember that you owe me a huge favor. If I need your help with anything in the future, don't refuse."< br>
Yang Qin's eyes rolled around a few times. He had always wanted to know who had captured Ding Xiaoxiang's soul. This was a good opportunity.
How could Ding Xiaoxiang not know what Yang Qin had in mind? She definitely wanted to see Zhao Dahai. There was nothing she could do about this trip. Without Yang Qin, she would definitely not be able to go to the city.
Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin discussed and decided to go to the county to find some colleagues to go shopping and buy some clothes. They couldn't go to the city. They might disagree if it was too far.
Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin went to meet Yang Qin's mother. They agreed immediately and then returned to their home together.
“Okay!”
“Let’s go have some fun!”
Zhang Li agreed immediately without saying a word. The fish stall's business is quite busy, so I'm a little tired by myself, but I can still cope with it. Ding Xiaoxiang cannot stay at the stall to help out 365 days a year.
“Ding Xiaoxiang.”
"It's settled, I'll come find you at seven or eight tomorrow, and we'll go to the town together and then take a bus to the county seat!"
After Yang Qin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Okay!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded, feeling very happy. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The method she came up with is really useful. , I didn’t say anything and agreed immediately.
"Here!"
"Buy some good clothes!"
Zhang Li watched Yang Qin leave, went back to her room, took five hundred yuan, and handed it to Ding Xiaoxiang.
“Mom!”
“I have money!”
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.
"Take it if it's given to you! You will definitely need to eat and drink when you go out to play with your classmates, so bring more."
Zhang Liqian put the money directly into Ding Xiaoxiang's hand, turned around and left.
“Hee hee”
“I wonder if I will go crazy if I know that I used her money to see Zhao Dahai!”
Ding Xiaoxiang felt a little funny. She really thought that she and Yang Qin and her classmates were going shopping. She went back to her room, went to bed early, and immediately fell asleep as soon as she lay down. She was very much looking forward to watching the speedboat with Zhao Dahai tomorrow.
