Ji Huai caught the devil fish and sat half of his body in the water. Even if he was wearing water pants, his clothes were quite wet.

He didn't care, got up and went on.

Others rushed to the sea, and they might have gone back in two or three hours. Jihuai walked along the beach. He did not know how long he walked. The stones on the beach were turned over and over again by him.

Fortunately, in addition to being able to catch crabs, he can also pick up marine fish stranded on the beach. The dead are worthless. If they are still alive, they can be put in a bucket and rescued.

He could also pick up a few large snails, and he kept throwing them into the bucket.

It is best to catch the muddy fish. They walked to the shallow water area and kept searching, lighting up the lights, and caught one after another. The disadvantage is that the fish is really small, only a few per catty.

Crabs are quite heavy, but they have to be fat to sell for a good price.

He walked, walked and walked, the sky gradually turned white, and the bucket was filled with fish and crabs, making his hands numb.

Immediately afterwards, the sun rose from the sea, like a huge fireball, shining Ji Huai's eyes astringent.

The sky is quietly bright.

He carried the bucket and walked back, and had to speed up to the pier.

The wharf in the early morning is not lively in the evening, but there are also many people coming and going. At this point in time, there are basically no fishing boats coming back, so there are very few people selling marine products.

When he came up with the bucket, someone would immediately come up to ask the price.

Ji Huai was so tired that he sat on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted a crab trying to escape from prison, and looked up at the people coming. "They are all alive and fresh. The big crabs are forty-one catties and the muddy fish are 38. There is a devil fish, braised in soy sauce is the best, this one costs 61 catties..."

He quoted the price.

The price of seafood at the wharf is not fixed. If the number of fishing boats comes back, it will naturally be expensive. Freshness and size also affect the price.

Bargaining is a folk custom of the locals. The old lady babbled and poked the crab twice, "You are not fat, you sold it for thirty-five."

"Mother, thirty-five can't be sold." Ji Huai bargained.

"Thirty-five, not less than the few dollars, pretend to pretend." The other party said that he had already picked it up, and urged.

"Thirty-eight, okay? Take a step back, three-eight-three-eight, and I will post it too." Ji Huai also reached in and grabbed a swimming crab. fat."

The old lady carried crabs in the bag: "Thirty-five!"

"Thirty-six, it can't be less, six-six is ​​smooth." Ji Huai said as he cooperated with her in choosing crabs, and picked out the fattest ones for her.

"Thirty-five!" The old lady refused.

"Okay! Then sell you thirty-five, but you have to buy a few more." Ji Huai muttered and took the scale next to him, "Who sells such a big crab for thirty-five? That is to say, there is no talent to sell it now. You, forget it, get two more."

"It's so cheap, hey."

...

Whether it is really cheap or fake cheap, it will not allow the other party to easily push down the price, so as to make the other party psychologically satisfied.

The electronic claim was borrowed from the uncle who sells dried seafood next to him. The other party kindly gave him a bunch of plastic bags, and he gave him some mud fish.

The old lady bought eight crabs, which cost nearly six kilograms, and had to cut a few yuan at the checkout, which was two hundred whole. The other party carried half a bag of crabs and left happily.

These crabs are the largest ones, and the next price can only be sold for 25 kilograms.

"How do you sell mud fish?"

"What kind of fish is this?"

"Eel, it's delicious. Just this one. I'll give you ten dollars. I'm alive."

....

Villagers passing by in electric cars one after another will stop and take a look.

Ji Huai desperately promoted his seafood, holding a muddy fish in his hand, "Look, the meat is very fat, thirty-eight a catty, and the small one is twenty for you."

"Do you want eighteen?"

"The little crab is ten yuan, there are few, eight yuan and eight yuan. I'll give you all."

...

He is quick to move. Before the customer said, he lowered the price while holding the bag. Put it in a bag, and got up intimately to help each other hang on the front of the car.

The young people paid online. He wiped his hands, took out his broken and stuck mobile phone, and clicked on the payment code to scan.

The seafood sold by the locals is generally sold faster, because everyone knows that it is authentic seafood. If you go far away, you will sell it with farmed seafood if you go to those seafood greenhouses.

Therefore, if you buy seafood here, even if the variety is a little different, smaller, and the presentation is not good, everyone is willing to buy it.

In just half an hour, Ji Huai sold half of the bucket of seafood, leaving only a few trash fish and the devil fish.

Except for the big crab, the most valuable is this devil fish. He inserted **** into the other's mouth and lifted it up. When someone stopped, "I bought this devil fish and went home and braised it, sixty-one catties. ."

"Fifty." The young man chopped ten yuan at once.

Ji Huai: "Fifty-eight."

How could it be possible to cut only two yuan, the young man stared, "Fifty-five, I said! I have to hurry home."

You have to cut two more to be comfortable.

"Two catties two taels."

"Two catties, one hundred and one." Before he could speak, the young man took out his cell phone and scanned the code.

"No." Ji Huai shook his head, "You are too low price."

"One hundred and fifteen, it must be reduced." The young man also looked at him and continued.

How can the locals who buy seafood not reduce the price? Otherwise, you will be scolded at home.

"Fine." Ji Huai took out the remaining large conch in his bucket and placed it in front of the young man, "Want? Eighteen a catty, fifteen for you, if you don't weigh it, three counts for ten. Look Look at the conch, all of them are so big, there must be a catty, only these few."

The young man hesitated.

Ji Huai looked at him sincerely, and continued to sell, "Eight yuan, I put it in the bag!"

The young man eventually paid eight yuan more.

Ji Huai was almost selling a full bucket of seafood. He returned the scale to the aunt and put another bag into the bucket from behind.

There was an orchid crab in it, which was bigger than the one he had just sold, and a half catty octopus, which he wanted to take home.

Large and small crabs were sold for 400 yuan. Mudfish was a bit expensive recently, and they were all sold out. They sold for nearly 200 yuan. The devil fish and an eel were sold for a total of more than 100 yuan. There are also some worthless fish that are half sold. Half-delivered, only sold dozens of them.

The total income is about 800 yuan.

This is very, very objective, mainly because of the high tide last night, and the tide receded fast. He walked along the beach all night before catching so much.

Take off the water shoes, the feet in the water shoes are soaked so that the skin is white.

When Ji Huai returned home, Yin Cai was already awake. She had to get up in the morning to weed and feed the chickens before she could go to work.

Seeing him coming back from the door and seeing his outfit again, he frowned and didn't say a word. Seeing his trousers curled up on one side, he chose to ignore it.

This is not the first time Ji Huai has not returned home at night. Sometimes he drank too much with his friends and fell asleep at other people's houses, or where to go here in the middle of the night, the schedule was very busy.

She already considered herself a person without a husband, and asking him would make her angry even more short-lived.

Neither of them spoke. Ji Huai also walked in. When passing by her, he said, "There is a fish left in the bucket, and there is a crab. I will cook it for Xiaoqing tonight."

Yin Cai turned around blankly, saw the fish and crabs in the bucket, and then asked, "You won't come back all night, just go to catch this fish and this crab?"

Ji Huai doesn't have much patience with her, but he won't be angry with Ji Xiaoqing. He still values ​​his daughter two points, and if he is in a good mood, he will give a few more dollars to take him to school.

"The others are sold." He put his water shoes aside and began to pack them.

Yin Cai was about to go to work, so she hurriedly carried the seafood to the kitchen for processing. When she saw the big crab, she hurriedly washed it, and then put it in a pot to boil it.

Crabs can't live long out of sea water, and they cannot be frozen. Once they are frozen, they will have no meat next time. They have to be cooked immediately before they can be frozen.

It is pitiful to say that they are close to the coast, but they are reluctant to buy seafood. You have to buy dozens of fresh sea crabs at the port, and when the price rises during the holidays, it can rise to one or two hundred.

Ji Ziqing likes to eat shrimps and crabs, but she has never bought them for her a few times.

Yin Cai cooked the crab, and when she came back in the evening, she could fry it for her daughter. He processed the fish in twos and then put it in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is her dowry. It is one of the few appliances in the house that looks a bit new. The white refrigerator is particularly conspicuous in the dilapidated and dimly lit room.

When she came out, Ji Huai just finished taking a shower, and she walked over, "Since I have sold the money, I will pay for the food at Ziqing School immediately. You will give her two hundred yuan."

He will only go to work for a few days when he has no money, and then continue to eat and drink, drink and brag.

"I have no money." He directly refused.

To give Sun Bin seven hundred yuan, and several hundred yuan to repair the engine of the small broken ship, he does not have enough money now.

"Didn't you sell the money?" Yin Cai patiently tempered.

"Then there is no money, I will give it to you if I have money."

Yin Cai was about to scold him when she heard a sound in the room, stopped the sound, turned her head and went into the room, changing her clothes and going to work.

She only needs to ask him for money, and if he has money, he says that he has no money. If she is sure, she is reluctant to suffer from her daughter, and she will not be wronged if she saves.

Ji Huai stayed up all night and was very sleepy. When Yin Cai sent Ji Ziqing to school, he fell asleep at the end of the room.

He was very slumbering. He slept until 6 o'clock in the afternoon. He was still hungry and awake. Yin Cai got off work early today and brought his daughter home.

Yin Cai entered the door and saw him sleepy and yawning, and walked around him to the kitchen to start cooking.

Today she is going to fry crabs, and she has to cook fish dishes. It will take a long time and she must move fast.

She was busy in the kitchen, Ji Huai just sat on the threshold and continued to yawn. After tired all night last night, she still hasn't recovered.

Ji Ziqing put down her schoolbag and came out with the kitchen pot containing leftovers, and put crushed corn and rice bran in it. Put more rice bran so that the chicken can lay more eggs after eating it.

The food was left from yesterday, and it has been a little sour after leaving it today. She squatted on the ground with a plastic glove in her little hand and kept mixing the contents evenly with her hands.

After putting so many things, she couldn't handle it anymore, so she could only push the pot to the chicken coop little by little, and when she entered, the chickens inside immediately surrounded her, pecking at the food in the pot.

The last meal was fed in the morning, they were already starving, scrambling to peck.

Ji Ziqing closed the door of the chicken coop and walked to the place where the water was boiled. She had little energy. If the pot for boiling water is full of water, she can’t carry it on the small stove, she can only hold one third of it, and use a small pot to pick up the rest. Fill the pot with cold water a little bit and boil it again. water.

The outer layer of the boiling pot is too black, and layer after layer of black stains are formed, and the clothes will be scratched black after a short stump. Ji Ziqing loves to clean, so be extra careful.

She is proficient in lighting a fire, adding firewood to it, leaving a gap when adding firewood, so that the fire can burn well.

When Yin Cai came out, she saw her daughter boiling water, and went back to the kitchen to work again, washing vegetables, cooking and stewing soup. Her voice came from the kitchen, "Xiao Qing, go find good clothes first, and water for a while. You can take a bath when it's warm. Mom will water the vegetables later."

"I can water it." She heard a small voice, took the small basin to collect the water, carefully and carefully watered the vegetables in the yard, and squatted down to look at the seedlings.

She likes to eat small tomatoes, and Yin Cai also grows a lot of them, and they bear little green fruits, which she stares at every day.

The sky is getting darker, the fire in the small courtyard is flickering, a small figure is busy in the courtyard, and the sound of vigorous cooking continues from the kitchen, accompanied by the fragrance of the food.

Ji Huai was sitting on the threshold. He did not help, and the two of them also agreed that he would not help.

He yawned lazily, as if he was still a little awake, leaning on the door frame to continue watching the two of them busy. In the past, I felt that it didn't matter to me, and I was too lazy to be hopeless, but now I feel that the years are quiet.

Except for the broken house, everything else is fine.

The fire in the small stove grew stronger and stronger, and the water gradually heated up. When Ji Ziqing had to use a small basin to scoop water and put it in a bucket to take a bath, he quickly got up.

Ji Ziqing was burned by water once when she was in the first grade, and she still left a lot of scars on her hands.

Children have a weak sense of crisis and boiled water is dangerous.

He walked up to her, picked up the pot easily, poured half of the water in the bath tub, and glanced at her, "When do you have to scoop it?"

Ji Ziqing put away the small pot and watched her father go to the shed where he could take the bucket with one hand to take a bath. He filled the pot with water and put it back on the small stove.

Then he continued to walk back, sitting lazily on the threshold with his feet cocked.

Ji Ziqing took the towel and walked silently into the shed to take a bath.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

Yin Cai cooked the food, and Ji Huai was the first one to walk in and sit down.

Can not work without work, lazy cancer death period, eat the fastest, and eat more. He has taken the bowl manually, filled a bowl full of rice, and is ready to start.

Yin Cai ignored her and called Ji Ziqing to come for dinner and served her daughter a bowl of rice.

Ji Huai sold the money this morning, and she thought he would not come back for dinner. She wanted to take the money and go to dinner with the group of fox friends. It was really annoying to think that he was still at home.

Fortunately, she made all that fish, otherwise he would not have enough to eat alone, let alone leave it to his daughter.

As soon as Ji Ziqing moved his chopsticks, Ji Huai had already picked up a large fish head. He didn't eat at noon. He was so hungry that he ate a lot.

It's so fragrant.

"Eat crabs." Yin Cai hurriedly picked up the fattest piece of crab meat for her daughter.

She cut the crab in the morning into several large pieces, then put onions, garlic and various seasonings and fried them, which looked very good.

"Thank you mom, mom will eat a piece too." Ji Ziqing was still very happy looking at the crab, she swallowed unconsciously, and held it with her little hand.

"Mom doesn't like eating crabs." Yin Cai smiled.

Ji Huai spit out fish bones and looked at Ji Ziqing, "Don't you like crabs?"

"Yeah." Ji Ziqing nodded, her translucent eyes flashed, and she licked her mouth.

"If you like to eat, you can eat them all, and eat a little bit full." Ji Huai said.

Yin Cai: "..."

She thought that Ji Huai's next step was to rush to eat with her daughter, but he didn't reach that level. He will keep some if his daughter likes it.

He quickly finished a bowl of rice and ate it deliciously. He solved one-third of a big fish. But if you look closely, he only ate fish heads and fish tails and most of the bones.

Seeing that Yin Cai didn't move his chopsticks, he put a large piece of fat on her, "Eat more, what are you doing?"

She didn't have much appetite, but she didn't say much, lowered her head and took a small bite.

When Ji Huai ate the second bowl of rice, his speed seemed to be a lot slower. From time to time, he looked at his daughter who was gnawing crabs, and taught him how to gnaw.

Ji Ziqing ate a large crab weighing more than a catty and was full without much food. At the end of the meal, Ji Huai quietly waited for Yin Cai to be full before he continued to quickly settle the remaining meals.

Yin Cai put some shellfish he picked up in the pot and boiled the soup. He also drank the soup in the pot and was completely full.

He touched his belly and looked at Ji Ziqing, "Is the crab delicious?"

"It's delicious." She nodded seriously, it was really delicious.

In the past, only when attending a banquet, my mother would bring back this crab for her, but it was not better than this, and it was not as big.

"It's delicious and eat it tomorrow!" He said, getting up and going back to the bedroom.

Yin Cai returned to the house after washing the dishes, and saw that he was lying on the bed again, sleeping like a dead pig, really outraged.

The space in the house was so small that even a desk could not fit, and it was packed. At this time, Ji Ziqing was sitting on a small bench by the bed, lying on the bed and writing.

The lights were dim, and she was afraid that her daughter might hurt her eyes, so she spent more than two hundred dollars to buy a rechargeable eye protection lamp.

Ji Huai slept soundly, a slight snoring sound came out, Yin Cai gritted her teeth and walked over, reached out and patted him twice, "Get up!"

He turned over slightly, turned his back to her and continued to fall asleep, and murmured, "I'm going to catch the sea in a while, sleep for a while."

Yin Cai couldn't hear clearly, "You sleep all the time, are you a pig?"

He didn't listen to what she said at all, and he responded in a daze, "...um."

"..."

Ji Ziqing raised her head to look at her parents, and when she heard her father's answer, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and soon disappeared again.

Yin Cai didn't bother to care about him.

At 2:30 in the night, Ji Huai got up.

Yin Cai thought he was going to the bathroom and ignored it.

Ji Huai put on the lights again, put on water pants, put on gloves and carried the bucket, and came to the beach.

Yesterday, he picked up a lot of things, but today he was not so lucky. After walking for a while, he encountered two crabs the size of thumbs.

He grabbed the crab and threw it into the sea. "What do you think you can do when you are so young? Cram your teeth?"

There were also fewer mud fish, and it was not easy to catch one. Finally, he caught a big one and ran away. Ji Huai was reluctant to find there for a long time, and almost didn't anger him.

Later, I caught a blue crab and an orchid crab. After digging under the rock for a long time, I caught a stone crab. He looked at the average size, "Forget it, for you for dozens of yuan per catty, forgive you for only a few taels."

I kept looking down my head, my neck became sore, and there was not much in the bucket. Compared to yesterday, it was pitiful.

But he still had to find it. He walked all night today, and he didn't even fill half the bucket at dawn.

The varieties are so small that they are not big, and they barely sell for more than three hundred.

Today's crab is small, but he keeps the bigger one and takes it home. In the evening, Yin Cai will make it for Ji Ziqing to eat. There are also a few miscellaneous fish, which are braised in soy sauce. The taste is also very sweet.

For two consecutive days, he went to catch the sea in the middle of the night, and suddenly became diligent, and Yin Cai was still a little uncomfortable. Ask him to take the money. He said that he had no money. Thinking of the past experience, the question was nothing, and she was too lazy to manage.

I can bring back some fish and crabs every day to improve the food, which is better than before. Before, I always used it to eat with others, and I had to buy wine to drink with others, which was too stupid.

However, Jihuai’s appetite is a bit big. In the past, he cooked too much food, and he could save the next day. As a result, he has finished the meal now, and Fermi has spent more food.

The third time Ji Huai went to catch the sea was not in the middle of the night. The low tide was in the afternoon, and he rushed past this afternoon.

Because it is daytime, there are many people driving the sea, some for fun, and there are also old men and old ladies. That thing is divided and divided by so many people, how much is left?

Moreover, from the afternoon to the evening, the fishing boats will slowly dock, and after the fishing boats return, there will be more marine cargoes, and the prices will be lower.

He picked up a lot of crabs. He picked it up twice. The one sold in the evening sold for more than 100 yuan. When the night came, the later the crabs were cheaper, the price was reduced to 12 yuan per catty. In the end, the price was reduced to twelve yuan per catty. The next one just stopped selling, and took it home.

Just when Yin Cai thought he was on the right track, at least a lot faster than before, and they could rely on him to improve their food, he stopped going.

For several days in a row, even if I didn't go to drink and eat, it was still dangling. The water shoes and the water pants never stumbled at all. The buckets placed outside hadn't been moved for several days.

The little hope she had just raised was wiped out again, and without laughing at herself as stupid, she never paid attention to him again. Do what you love to do, where you love to go.

The other end.

Ji Huai gave Sun Bin seven hundred yuan, and then he found a few masters, and spent two hundred yuan to repair the engine of the small broken ship at the lowest price. One repair here, another repair there, a small broken ship that can go to sea was born.

He looked at his work with a satisfied smile.

Pick a good weather and you can set off to the sea!
