Chapter 154: Big Eyes and Big Belly
Two or three days later, Matt sent Bei Hai's portion of smoked fish over, and a full hundred and fifty pounds of smoked fish were piled up in front of him, and Bei Hai was a little dumbfounded.
These smoked fish have been processed, not just dry and gray fish pieces and fish sticks like Bei Hai saw in China, but the smoked fish sticks and smoked fish fields here are sealed and vacuumed, a bit like the way of packing meat sold in supermarkets that drains the air inside. ]
One hundred and fifty pounds is more than one hundred and thirty pounds, which sounds really not much, but these are all smoked fish, which smokes off the water in the fish, and with this kind of packaging that drains the air, the small volume in front of Bei Hai has increased by almost two or three times.
It is precisely because of such packaging that the visual effect in front of Bei Hai's eyes is magnified a lot.
"So many?" Bei Hai looked at the smoked fish pieces piled up like a small mountain bag in front of him and said in a daze.
One hundred and fifty pounds is really not much in Bei Hai's opinion, and it is three or four hundred pounds to carry a fish from the sea, and this one hundred and fifty pounds is still drizzle in Bei Hai's opinion? ! I just didn't expect that there would be so many of these 150 pounds plus the packaging in front of me, and the whole pile would form a small hill.
"One hundred and fifty pounds of squeezed out of the fish, but don't be sad, Qi has a little more than you" Matt thought of Qi Yiming's face immediately showed a weird smile, just now old Matt sent Qi Yiming the two hundred pounds of smoked fish he wanted, and the expression on Qi Yiming's face was like Bei Hai, as if someone had knocked his head with a stick. Both eyes are a little straight.
Old Matt is from here, and although he has made a little more this year, it is only about fifty pounds. That's all, more than half of the son's side was prepared, and Bei Hai and Qi Yiming were more than 100 pounds in one mouth. Originally, Matt was going to be more than a hundred pounds for three people, but who knew that these two people were more ruthless than the other! One is more than a hundred pounds up.
Matt began to try to persuade him, but listening to the calculations of the two of them, just think about it, bluefin tuna is really nothing to the three of them, and everyone has made a lot of money this fishing season, and the little money spent on the cost of making zuò is not a money. Compared with persuading Qi Yiming and Bei Hai, what Matt wanted to see most was the expressions of the two when they received these smoked fish.
Obviously, Old Matt was very happy with this effect!
"Hahaha!" Matt smiled and said to Bei Hai: "Qi also had such an expression just now. Wrong! It's a little more exaggerated! ”。
After saying that, he laughed twice, and old Matt said: "Why don't you think about it, more than 100 pounds of smoked dried fish, even if you eat one pound a day, you have to eat it for more than 100 days." Half a year has passed, and a pound a day? It's smoked dried fish, and if it's a person, it's a pound at most, and you'll be full."
Bei Hai looked at the smoked fish in Matt's old pickup truck and scratched his head: "How did I know that there would be so many, the first time I was inexperienced, just get a little less next year."
The thing was put in front of him, and Bei Hai remembered a saying in his hometown: big eyes and small belly! is said to be like Bei Hai now, patronizing and being greedy, he didn't think about his actual situation.
Looking at the hill-like thing in front of me. Bei Hai sighed and began to think in his heart, although the smoked fish is good, but Bei Hai has no interest in eating it every day, if you want to eat it, what new fish do you have in your space? Even if it's a live bluefin tuna. The minute Bei Hai also brought out one, and the smoked fish occasionally changed the taste, and I couldn't stand it every day!
Frowning and thinking for a while, Bei Hai became happy again, and said to Matt: "Almost, not too ashamed!" ”。
"Isn't that too much?" Matt looked at Bei Hai here, and the expression on his face was as if he was constipated. Who knew that Bei Hai was happy in the next second, and couldn't help but ask.
"There are a lot of people on my side!" After Bei Hai finished speaking, he turned over and got on the trunk of Matt's old pickup truck. Then he spoke to Matt about the people who were going to give the fish.
Not to mention the four girls Li Weiwei, Yu Huan, Zhao Rong and Zhou Xia, it is enough for each of these four people to be ten catties. Let's just say that the parents in the family, plus my sister, how do you say that each family also needs twenty or thirty pounds, and there are Du He, Xu Hui and Carson, each of whom also needs twenty or thirty pounds, so that if you calculate it, you may not have anything left on your side.
Listening to Bei Hai's side, Matt was stunned, Lao Mei's delivery of things is different from us Chinese, and here in Gloucester, at this time, generally everyone makes smoked fish at home, even if you want to give it to others, others will not want it, there are all at home.
Matt patronized Silly Le and didn't think that this thing could be given to others, and after listening to Bei Hai's example, he said: "If you don't have enough here, go to Qi and ask for some, maybe he's worried now."
"That's fine!" Bei Hai began to divide a small handful in his heart, thinking about how big a handful to give away to look more faceful.
Bei Hai is squatting here, Matt can't wait a little: "You hurry up and move these in with me, I still have things here later, I can't stay here for a long time."
"Okay, then I'll go find a basket or something" Bei Hai immediately said when he heard this, it didn't matter if Bei Hai went to find Matt, he started to move first, what kind of place is this place? It turns out that it's not easy to find a basket on the farm? It didn't take long for Matt to find the basket, and the two of them made three trips to transport the one hundred and fifty pounds of smoked fish on the back bucket to Bei Hai's house.
Old Matt left as soon as he finished transporting it, and Bei Hai called Qi Yiming. As soon as Qi Yiming heard that Bei Hai was still here, he immediately shouted on the other end of the phone to ask Bei Hai to come to the house quickly.
When Bei Hai drove to where Qi Yiming lived now, he couldn't help but be happy when he pushed the door in and took a look.
Originally, the living room of Qi Yiming's house was quite small, but now it is squeezed by the two-hundred-pound fish pile, and there is almost no place to plug it.
And Old Matt also broke it, and directly threw the fish pieces on the floor of Qi Yiming's living room, and even his small coffee table was about to be submerged.
"How much do you keep?" Bei Hai threw down the small basket in his hand and asked as he threw the smoked fish bun into the basket.
"I'll just keep a third at most, how can there be so many?" Qi Yiming bent down to help Bei Hai throw something into the basket and said.
Bei Hai said casually: "If you don't keep a little more, send it to relatives and friends at home, I will keep it for friends."
"Who are you going to send to, I want to bring this to them when I go back to China? It's better not to send it, others may still be talking behind their backs, and they don't like the things they send can't be on the table, in this case, what else do I want to send" Qi Yiming said: "And you don't know how troublesome it is to bring back this inspection to check!" It's really better to buy it in China, although the taste made here is really good, but if you toss because of this thing, you really can't do it."
After hearing this, Bei Hai remembered, not everyone has their own space, they can bring something if they want to, and the customs police can't control anything. It's not so easy for Qi Yiming and these people to bring something, maybe it's a trouble to bring a fresh cucumber!
"Okay, I'm not afraid of trouble, I'll ship them back to China in a few days," Bei Hai said.
"By the way, when will your lawsuit start?" Qi Yiming asked Bei Hai.
"The trial will officially start next Monday," Bei Hai said, "Why do you think of asking this?" ”。
"Then it just so happens that I will go with you to relax, it's not interesting to be bored in this small city all the time, it just so happens that I fell in love with a second-hand car, and if you go to court on Monday, then I will go over to look at the car on Monday," Qi Yiming said.
"How's the car going? How much," Bei Hai asked.
"Six thousand dollars, it looks like the car is in good condition, Corolla," Qi Yiming said.
The Corolla is from Toyota, and in the United States, the new car is the entry-level for only 16,000 dollars, and the 6,000 dollar Corolla should be good. Not to mention a second-hand car, even if it is a new car, Qi Yiming has no pressure to buy it, this fish season with Bei Hai, whether it is Matt or Qi Yiming, can be said to be full of oil, Diego twice jokingly said that he wanted to go to Bei Hai's ship to be a crew member. Buying a car is really nothing.
"Then let's be together, but I will tell you that I will leave here at half past seven in the morning, do you think it's a little early?" Bei Hai said.
"I'll go to court with you first, and then you will send me to see the car, so that I can save money on taxis," Qi Yiming said with a smile.
"No problem, you can stay here with me first, but I can't guarantee how long I will stay," Bei Hai said.
"No problem! Anyway, I don't have anything to do, more time is less money" Qi Yiming doesn't care about time here. (To be continued)
