The next day.

Ji Ziqing got up much earlier than Ji Huai, was very active, and was busy preparing things for him.

Yin Cai watched as her daughter was busy, while Ji Huai was taking the opportunity to be lazy and not getting angry, but she was embarrassed to interrupt when she saw her daughter was motivated and interested.

Ji Ziqing has a sensitive temperament, and she often feels not very lively and cheerful. At this time, she still has a bit of vigor and vitality, which is also very good.

Prepare the tools, bring food and water, and you can set off.

Today’s food is richer. Thanks to Ji Ziqing’s blessing, Ji Huai ate the food made by Yin Cai. She got up early in the morning to prepare lunch for the two of them. There were vegetables, meat and soup.

After going out to sea, they have to go to the eel cage first. The eel cage is a black cylinder with dead fish and shrimp in it, which has a very fishy smell and will attract eels or other marine fish and shrimps to dig into it.

Ji Huai brought three large cages and two small cages today. Each cage was tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied with a piece of foam. Mark them.

Put the eel cages, and they will put shrimp nets.

Ji Ziqing sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea, and then at the shrimp nets. A blue plastic bucket was placed on the small boat. The shrimp caught in a while must be put in it for oxygenation. If it doesn’t die, it won’t be dead. valuable.

Ji Huai drove the boat, "We will be a little busy today. The shrimp net will be closed in two or three hours. You have to repeat it a few times so that you can catch more."

Shrimp is hard to catch. If there is no harvest, you have to keep off the net. It is common to spend more than ten hours at sea.

Shrimp is also easy to sell, so you don't need to rush back. Someone will ask for it when you go back at night. This item is in short supply. Wild shrimp are rare items and have to be rushed to buy. Many people are waiting to order.

Ji Ziqing nodded as if he knew nothing.

He first went to get the shrimp off the net, and then went to yesterday's island to let Ji Ziqing pry some green shells to enjoy.

Yesterday I dug a little bit, but there are still a lot of them on the island. He said to Ji Ziqing, who was going to go on a big fight, "Don’t pry the small one, wait until it grows up a little bit, then pry it, pick the big one first, or the big one. Sell."

"it is good."

The father and daughter began to work again. They were not prying more than yesterday. They pried a bucket in total. Ji Huai took Ji Ziqing away and promised to bring her back again. He said with relief, "The prying is done all at once. Where else? We have to take it slow, we have to collect shrimp nets."

It is really difficult to catch shrimps. When the first net was pulled up, there were only a few shrimps on it. Ji Ziqing untied them, put them in the bucket, and started to do nothing again.

Ji Huai said that he was busy. It was a long waiting time. When a net was pulled up, there were only ten or eight shrimp at most. Later, he had to put down the shrimp net and wait another hour or two.

She was so bored that she lay down on the side of the bucket, counting the shrimp that she had unwrapped, "one, two, three...twelve..."

"How many?" Ji Huai asked her.

"There are twenty-five red shrimps, 13 pipi shrimps, another kind of orchid crab, one swimming crab, one small octopus, two small yellow breams..." Ji Ziqing sighed while looking at the harvest inside. Looking at Ji Huai, "Dad, I don't have many shrimps and no money."

Only so little, so much yesterday.

"Shrimp is very valuable. A catty of wild shrimp sells for more than 100. Yesterday's fish is not worth any shrimp?" Ji Huai sat on the bow of the boat, slowly lighting a cigarette and smoking.

He didn't shave today, and now he is wearing a straw hat. He wore crumpled old clothes in order to stain his new clothes. He looked several years older than his real age.

A leisurely posture, I still have a bit of enjoyment.

Hearing that it is valuable, Ji Ziqing eased the action of unraveling the shrimp from the fishing net for fear of killing it.

Close the net, release the shrimp, put the net again, and then close the net...

Ji Huai gave his daughter the task of unwrapping the shrimps. He was happy, half lying on the boat to rest, and squinted and said to Ji Ziqing, "Do it hard. When you sell the money, Dad will divide it into half for you."

"I also need to give it to my mother." Ji Ziqing said to him while wiping the sweat from her forehead, "Mom cooked and worked."

"Hey." Ji Huai sighed, "Give it, is it all right?"

After getting his reply, Ji Ziqing smiled at the corner of her mouth, and Xie Xie worked harder.

The sun gradually went west, and another net was collected. Ji Ziqing saw a big shrimp on the net, grabbed it and put it in a bucket, Ji Huai's voice sounded, "Look, a nice sunset."

Ji Ziqing looked back and was dumbfounded.

On the other side of the sea, a big and round sun was hanging in the sky, slowly setting west. The sun is no longer dazzling, the sun is like a big ball, surrounded by colorful clouds, rendering half of the sky.

"So beautiful." Ji Ziqing looked straight.

Ji Huai took his broken mobile phone, slapped and patted at the sun, and then put the phone away, "Quickly, quickly, get another net, and I'm going back, and I'm going to fish for an eel cage. I don't know that. How much can you catch in a short time."

Ji Ziqing continued to unravel the prawns. Ji Huai drove the boat to collect the eel cages. He picked up one of the big cages and said to Ji Ziqing, "How about you guess how many eels are in it?" See if you are lucky."

You can't see the inside of this eel cage, you have to pour it out to know what's in it.

"Five." She held out a hand.

"Five?" Ji Huai smiled, "What if there isn't?"

"Four articles." She changed.

Ji Huai glanced in through the above, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Ji Ziqing also stood up and leaned over to look.

He removed the upper lid, grasped the bottom end, turned the cage upside down, and poured it into the frame.

A few small crabs came out first, and some small fishes. Two small eels fell out. He looked at his daughter and shook the fish cage again. "No, I can't ask for it."

The fish is too small to be put back into the sea, and no one wants to sell it.

Ji Ziqing bulged her cheeks up, lifted the small frame, and poured the small fishes, shrimps and eels into the sea.

Ji Huai picked up another big cage, "Guess this one, how many eels are in it?"

This time, Ji Ziqing lowered her expectations and stretched out two fingers, "two."

Ji Huai took off the lid and poured it into the box. It turned out that there was only one eel, but it was a good size, with a pound of it, and a breaded crab. The other small fishes and shrimps were released.

After that, he asked Ji Ziqing to guess a few more times. In each case, there were only one or two eels, plus a few crabs, or two Shijiu males, just so-so.

The release time is too short, and there is no big harvest.

In the end there was only a small eel cage left, he grabbed it in his hand, "The last one, guess how many eels are in it?"

"No." When Ji Ziqing saw that there were only one or two big cages, she was pessimistic about this small cage.

"I just caught so little in total, and none of them are at a loss? Dead fish and shrimps are also bought with money. Guess quickly, guess more, and sell you money to buy snacks for you." Ji Huai tempted her.

"No." Ji Ziqing insisted, looking at him with round eyes, "There is no eel in it."

"How can there not be? At least one." Ji Huai pointed to the cages and said to her, very unconvinced.

"There are small eels, but I don't have to let them go," she said seriously.

Ji Huai weighed it again in his hand, "Daddy feels it, it really is, you guess."

Ji Ziqing was already tired of guessing. She lay down on the side of the bucket, put her hand in the bucket to play with shrimps, and muttered, "Daddy's feelings are all wrong."

"Definitely." Ji Huai raised his voice, desperately asking Ji Ziqing to guess.

Ji Ziqing didn't want to bother with her naive father. While playing with her shrimp, she stretched out her hand, not looking at him at all, "Liu Tiao."

She said an unlikely number.

Ji Huai was also angrily, carrying the eel cage to the frame, "Dad is going to fall, hurry up and count."

"Okay..." Ji Ziqing dragged her voice without turning her head at all, continuing to look at the prawn. It's really big. Dad said it has three or two. How much is it?

Ji Huai turned the last small eel cage upside down and put it into the frame.

One, two, three, three eels came out directly, not small, he said quickly, "Look, three!"

Ji Ziqing turned her head and saw the three eels changed her expression before leaning over to take a look. Ji Huai thought there was no more inside. Who knows that they tremble, and the two entangled ones came out again. He himself was startled, "There are five!"

"Wow~" Ji Ziqing's voice was not perfunctory, his eyes shifted from the shrimp to the eel.

There are five inhabitants.

Oh, there is another very, very small one. She grabbed it and put it back into the sea, grinning at Ji Huai with a grin, "I guessed it, it's six."

Ji Huai: "You guessed it randomly, it doesn't count."

"Guess is just random guessing."

"No."

"Dad, you are unreasonable."

......

The boat headed to the dock, and the father and daughter on it were bickering. Ji Huai's broken cell phone continued to play the love songs of the last century, and he stood at the stern, singing narcissistically.

Ji Ziqing was deeply poisoned, "Dad, you sing so badly."

"You won't appreciate it, listen carefully." Ji Huai won't admit it, and will continue to sing, taking the posture of an international superstar, clenching his fist as a microphone, "Your love is like the sea. I am obsessed with it. Enlightenment's poisonous wine, give me your love..."

Ji Ziqing covered her ears with an expression of constipation.

This time the two came back late, and Yin Cai was off work, waiting for the father and daughter at the dock. Ji Ziqing saw her mother from a distance, standing on the bow of the boat and waving at her mother.

Yin Cai stepped forward to help them carry things and put them on the side of the road to sell.

It was dark, and I didn’t catch a few fish today, but I caught more than ten catties of shrimp. Even if it’s late, it’s very good to sell. People are coming to buy it one after another.

The green scallops and eels were sold cheaper than yesterday. The eels were only bought for 13 per jin, and the green scallops were only about 12 yuan, and they were also sold a lot.

Ji Huai cleaned up and Yin Cai helped sell. When customers scanned the payment code, she was not greedy, and asked Ji Ziqing to find Ji Huai and take the payment code to the customer to scan.

The father and daughter were both hungry after going out for a day. They also stayed at the pier for more than half an hour, selling almost the same amount of shrimp, leaving a catty or two, and then packed up and went home.

Few elderly people come out to buy ingredients at night, and many elderly people are reluctant to buy such expensive shrimp. Today's payment is mainly paid by scanning the QR code. There is no cash, and most of the money collected is in Jihuai mobile phones.

Yin Cai steamed the remaining prawns, adjusted the dipping ingredients, cooked the remaining green scallops, and made a braised fish. The soup was boiled with sea vegetable soup, and a delicious meal came out.

In a blink of an eye, it was Monday, and Yin Cai sent Ji Ziqing to school.

There have been strong winds these days, and Ji Huai has not gone out to sea, riding his small broken electric motor around the town.

"Ji Huai, is there a liquor bureau these days? It's been a long time since I had a drink together."

Some friends and friends learned that he might have made a small amount of money when he went to sea. When they saw him, they were clamoring to drink together. He laughed and slopped, "The other day, I will be very busy and do big business."

Looking at his bragging appearance, the other party didn't say anything.

As soon as he left, several people complained together:

"Didn't he say that he went to sea to make some money? He used the money long ago and spent it, probably because he didn't make any money."

"Yes, it's a big business, it makes people laugh out of their teeth!"

"If Ji Huai can do big business, I can be the richest man in the country!"

.....

At the same time, Ji Huai came to the place where Ji Ziqing took the dance class and met the teacher.

Coming down from the stairs, his face was rarely stained with heavy weight. Riding on his small electric motor, he went to the feed shop where Yin Cai went to work.

Yin Cai is busy ordering goods. Occasionally there are some handymen sitting in the shop, chatting with her. The proprietress’s mother is here today.

The proprietress’s mother has no door, her heart is not bad, but she is gossip, and she often says that it is better for Yin Cai to marry a man than to marry Ji Huai.

No, she started to say: "The mentally retarded man in the village next to my hometown knows how to make money and take it home to his parents, a man who allows his wife and children to suffer along with him. What kind of man is he?"

"Just to move bricks, it takes two to three hundred a day, can't make money? This worldly lazy person can't make money!"

"Now that there are many boys and girls, the daughter-in-law whom Zhang Bei's family asked for has been married twice, with two children. That woman is dark, ugly and fierce, and she still enjoys the blessings of marrying them."

.....

Her words are full of ups and downs. There is a serious loss of people in the town. There are many old bachelors in their 30s and 40s, and many of them are married women who have been married several times. These women are not living well.

They rely on the sea and have a well-developed aquaculture industry. As long as they are industrious, they have small money, they are so beautiful and family-friendly, who can't live well by marrying them?

When she said that, Yin Cai didn't refute, and she was numb anyway, but she said, "He has been out to sea all this time, and I don't know how long he can hold on."

People, sometimes good luck, good luck. Obviously, God does not favor her.

"Three days of fishing and two days of drying on the net." The proprietress’s mother made her final conclusion directly. She would continue to say, but Yin Cai saw Ji Huai coming, and she didn’t know what was going on. She was a little afraid that he would hear these words. , Hurriedly went outside, drove to stop the boss’s wife’s mother from accepting the words, and said anxiously, "Why are you here?"

The author has something to say: Seeing the comments in the comment area, Mi'er should pay attention to it. Last time I went to check the waist, there was nothing wrong with the filming. It seemed that the cervical spine was compressed. When the body recovers, Mi'er will strengthen exercise. I also bought the horizontal bar before, and the effect is still there, but the self-discipline is not good, this has to force myself.

The past two days have improved a lot, my dear, don't worry.

Say good night in advance. Two hundred red envelopes have been issued in this chapter.
