Chapter 23 Buying Big Fish

Looking at the fresh food in the iron bucket, since we even have things like sea clams, we might as well show off our cooking skills.

In his previous life, he was too much of a jerk. When Xiaoying was pregnant, he was often away from home. Whenever he sold out the goods, he would hang out with Agui.

Eat and drink well in Shangfeng Town.

Zhou Xiaoying often cooks alone, and almost all three meals are inseparable from dried salted fish.

Sometimes a meal lasts for a day or two.

When he was working illegally in the island country, he didn't make any money in the past few years. In order to repay the loan sharks, she didn't even have money to buy rice, so she often ate sweet potato noodles with dried salted fish.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu's heart was full of guilt. Looking at the thin Zhou Xiaoying in front of her, Li Duoyu decided to give her a good supplement:

"Let's go and take you to buy delicious food. Chef Li will show you his skills today."

"Uncle, is it true? Can you buy me two candies later? I haven't eaten them for a long time?"

"You've almost lost all your teeth and you still eat candy. If you really want it, I'll buy you some pagoda candy."

After hearing the name of this candy, Li Haoran's face turned green. After eating this candy last time, a lot of terrible things came out.

There was a long one that was still stuck and couldn't come out. In the end, his mother used tongs to forcefully pinch it out. It hurt.

Before going home, Li Duoyu went to the pier first.

If he wanted to make fish balls, the ingredients in his bucket would definitely not be enough. He would have to buy two big fish.

On the way to the dock, many fishermen greeted him and praised him for taking a photo with the leader.

But the fishermen said that he was promising, but the next sentence gave all the credit to Chen Dongqing.

The reason is that when Zhu Xiuhua went to weave fishing nets early this morning, she heard someone begging for Li Duoyu.

I immediately explained it to the folks.

It was said that it was all arranged by Chen Dongqing. If Li Yaoguo had gone there that day, her husband would have been the one to report it.

As word spread, the villagers began to have the illusion that if they were the ones who went there that day, they could also take photos with the leaders and submit them to the newspaper.

Due to the dispatch of anti-smuggling ships a few days ago.

The "big ships" don't dare to come over these days.

Some fishermen who took the goods saw that they had nothing to do and started fishing again, and the amount of seafood at the pier also increased.

Maybe the fishing season hasn’t arrived yet.

Li Duoyu did not see any large yellow croaker, but he did see a lot of skinned fish, hairtail fish, and baskets of swimming crabs.

Now is the time when swimming crabs are on the market, and the price is very cheap. Here on Dandan Island, you can buy a pound for 20 cents.

Moreover, these crabs are almost not tied with ropes. They are all placed in large buckets. As many as you want, they will be fished out directly for you.

However, in September, the female swimming crabs are more delicious, and in October, the male swimming crabs are more delicious. Li Duoyu spent 50 cents to pick out two kilograms of female crabs.

Immediately afterwards, I bought a large fish from the stall next door. The local fishermen called it rice fish.

In this era, the bigger the fish, the more expensive it is. On this pier, the unit price of this rice fish should be the highest, selling for 50 cents per pound.

The rice fish Li Duoyu bought weighed fifteen kilograms and cost more than seven yuan.

After hearing this price.

Zhou Xiaoying kept tugging on Li Duoyu's clothes. She couldn't bear to spend the money. This fish was more than her wages for the previous week's class.

Seeing her anxious look, Li Duoyu secretly whispered something to her in her ear.

After hearing that Li Duoyu had so much private money.

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for several seconds, and then said with a serious face: "Then let's buy these, and don't buy the others. You will spend a lot of money raising kelp in the future."

Li Duoyu nodded in agreement, turned around and entered the pork shop near the pier.

Zhou Xiaoying was angry and helpless, but there was nothing she could do about it. He earned the money and it was his business to spend it how he wanted to.

Due to the shipment of goods.

Many people on Dandan Island have become rich. People on the island prefer pork to seafood.

Business at the meat stall is very good every day. One pig a day is often not enough to feed the fishermen on the island, and at least five pigs must be prepared during holidays.

Little Fatty stood in front of the meat stall, staring at the pork belly and drooling. Pork belly was the most expensive in the meat stall, with two pieces per pound, lean meat one piece per pound, ribs with 9 cents, and thigh bones with 7 cents.

Pork belly is the most expensive, and everyone likes this fat but not greasy meat. Braised pork tastes best when cooked with soy sauce.

Pig offal is the cheapest, and sometimes pork liver and lungs are given away for free.

Over the years, all the money from Li Haoran's family was used by Zhu Xiuhua to buy imported cloth and make clothes. The food was always very bad. If there was too little oil and water, he would go to his grandparents' house to get food.

But grandpa and grandma are also very economical. They don’t necessarily buy meat once every ten days and a half.

After seeing my uncle buy two kilograms of meat.

Li Haoran swallowed his saliva and followed Li Duoyu closely, even more afraid that his uncle would disappear later.

And he plans to hang out with his uncle in the future, although he is a little afraid that it is his class teacher's aunt, Zhou Xiaoying.

But in order to eat delicious food.

Li Haoran feels that some difficulties can still be overcome.

After Li Duoyu and his party returned home.

My father and mother have also come back from the tidal flat. My father is lying on the rocking chair to rest, with a cattail leaf fan covering his face, taking a nap.

While Chen Huiying was feeding broken mud snails to the chickens, she saw Li Duoyu carrying a bucket of small seafood, a large sea fish, crabs and pork, but she didn't say anything.

But when she saw that the corners of Zhou Xiaoying's skirt were wet, her face instantly lost its beauty and she gave her a cold look.

Zhou Xiaoying realized that something was wrong and ran away. She was different from the second sister-in-law.

No matter how fierce A Niang was, she would never scold the second sister-in-law in person, but she was different.

Zhou Xiaoying grew up in this family since she was a child. Just like her daughter, she never showed mercy when fighting. How could she be polite to you when scolding you?

Seeing that A Niang was angry, Li Duoyu quickly approached and said with a playful smile: "Mom, where is the thing we used to make fish balls in the past?"

"What did you do with that thing?"

"Of course, make fish balls."

"You are the only one who knows how to make fish balls. It's very difficult to make this thing. I may not be able to make it well."

"Don't underestimate your son. Maybe your son is born to be a chef. In the future, the TV station may ask me to cook."

"For someone like you, Xiaoying will cook for you for three years in junior high school. She is also a chef."

Although Chen Huiying muttered in her mouth, she still went back to the house and moved out all the things for making fish balls.

She also went to the nearby well and fetched a bucket of water to wash.

But she didn't expect that after she handed the things to Li Duoyu, the prodigal son yelled again: "Mom, help me kill another chicken."

Chen Huiying was really angry. After buying so much food, she actually had to kill a chicken. If the neighbors saw it, they would think they were going to celebrate the New Year early.

"No, I raise these chickens for Xiaoying to take care of her after she got pregnant."

After hearing this.

Old Li, who was taking a nap in the rocking chair, suddenly looked towards the middle room. When he heard no movement, he was relieved.

Li Duoyu and Li Haoran couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid. My mother is going to weave a fishing net and will be back in the evening."
