Wang Rong and Guan Mao were the first to jump off the boat and go to the big boat to help with their luggage.

Wang Rong helped Feng off the boat very diligently, Feng flashed, but still helped Wang Rong's shoulders to get off the boat.

Guan Mao originally wanted to help the peppercorns, but when he saw Pei Ze standing under the boat with a black line on his face, he stretched out his hand to the peppercorns, and only went to help Lao Li Tou with his luggage.

In front of so many people, it was not easy for Hua Jiao to continue to make trouble with him, and obediently stretched out his hand to Pei Ze.

Unbeknownst to him, Pei Ze picked her up and walked forward, and Hua Jiao hurriedly said: "You let me down, I'll go by myself." ”

She just asked him to help her down instead of letting him hold her.

"Don't move." Pei Ze glanced down at her, walked straight to the grass on the edge of the beach before putting it down, and said that he was as good as a stream, "If you step on the beach, sand will enter your shoes." ”

Sichuan pepper: "......"

I thank you!

While speaking, Feng Shi came to him with his baggage, glanced around, and ignored Pei Ze's presence, and said while taking off his shoes and pouring sand: "Third child, why don't you see the people on the island?" ”

Where is this island, it is clearly a mountain peak that protrudes from the sea.

There were trees and stones everywhere, lush, but there was not a single human figure in sight.

"They all live on the other side of the mountain." Pei Ze turned his back and replied, "The people on the island live with their backs to the mountains and the sea, and this is the place where the boats come and go, and this courtyard is built by the people of the island, just so that outsiders will not disturb them. ”

Feng realized.

Put on your shoes on your own.

Touching Pei Ze's smiling gaze, Hua Jiao suddenly felt that his face was hot.

"You guys go into the house, I'll go back and help them with their luggage." Pei Ze pointed to the courtyard not far away, and walked back in a good mood.

The courtyard is very large, with four main rooms and two transept rooms.

There is a plane tree on the left and a well on the right.

There are stone tables and stone benches near the eaves of the main house, Hua Jiao noticed that the doors and windows have been repaired, it should be that Pei Ze came to clean up the house yesterday, the iron pot is also newly replaced, and a small pile of firewood was placed at the door, Hua Jiao rolled up his sleeves and brushed the pot, Feng Shi went to the well to fetch water in, took a sip curiously, and said in surprise: "Sichuan pepper, this water is actually sweet, I thought it was salty!" ”

"The water in this well is stored when it rains." "Then after the underground precipitation, it was taken up again, so it won't be salty, how to drink salty!" ”

Feng Shi came to his senses and said with a smile: "You are the same as the third child, you know everything." ”

Sichuan pepper.

After the water was boiled, the luggage, grain and vegetables on the ship were moved in by the men one after another, and the peppercorns made tea for them, put them on the stone table, and brought the spiced beans to them to eat, and after the luggage was put away, everyone sat down one after another, Guan Mao smiled: "I knew that there were peppercorns, and we couldn't be hungry." ”

"You kid knows how to eat." Pei Ze smiled and beckoned Feng Shi and Hua Jiao, "Come and sit, we still have a lot of things to arrange today." ”

Hua Jiao and Feng also sat down.

It is almost an hour's journey from Wutong Town to Xianling Island.

They walked early in the morning, when the sun had just climbed the treetops, and it was morning.

Pei Ze took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I thought about it when I came, if we count it according to the head, my cousin and my cousin can only divide it into two parts, which is too much for you, so I discussed it with my cousin just now, and it is better to divide it according to the boat, Guan Mao is on my cousin's boat, accounting for 20% of the case, and Uncle Li and Uncle Lin are on my boat, which is also 20% of the share, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, that's fine." Wang Rong and Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou nodded again and again.

Guan Mao was a little embarrassed: "I don't have a ship, and I don't know anything about the sea, so I'm embarrassed." ”

"Well, don't say that, I can't do it alone." Wang Rong hurriedly said, "Don't say two, I'm willing to give it to you." ”

Fishing at sea for a month on end is no joke.

The Feng family is a woman's family, so he can't help at all, and Pei Ze gave Guan Mao to him to help him.

"So what am I going to do with peppercorns?" Feng asked.

"Don't worry, cousin, you have a lot to do!" Pei Ze turned his head to look at Hua Jiao, and when he saw her sitting there quietly looking at him, he couldn't help but smile, "My daughter-in-law has to do the most, and I will divide you into three parts when the time comes." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Peppercorn's face flushed.

"Okay, now that we're done, we'll talk about what we're going to do today." Pei Ze turned around, crossed his hands on the stone table, and said, "Muscle fish need to be marinated for a minimum of six hours before drying, it stands to reason that winter is a good season for pickled fish, but partial muscle fish appear in the hottest time of the year, so I estimate that each batch of fish will have to be dried for at least three days before it can be stored, today our task is to dig two pools for pickling muscle fish, because the southeast wind blows here all year round, so we still have to cut some trees on the southeast hillside to make a few stumps to dry the fish, what do you think?" ”

"You have the final say, what you say, let's do it." Wang Rong nodded vigorously.

Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou also have no opinions.

Guan Mao didn't understand it even more, and asked Sichuan pepper in a low voice: "How to dry fish, do you string it with a thread?" ”

He saw a lot of fine cotton thread in Pei Ze's cabin.

At the time, I wondered what it was for, but now I think it was used to skewer fish.

"It should be." Sichuan pepper nodded, it stands to reason that the fish mouth should be hooked with an iron hook, and then hung on a rope to dry, but now, it is completely impossible, because there are too many fish, there are not so many fish hooks, and you can only use strings.

"Okay, if you don't have any objections, let's go dig the pool now!" Pei Ze got up, walked a few steps, and said to Hua Jiao, "You cook at home with your cousin first, you have a lot to do, I'll talk to you about it later." ”

Guan Mao covered his mouth and smiled.

Yesterday, Pei Ze had already prepared the head and shovel, and everyone went to the back of the door to get it, and followed Pei Ze to dig the pool.

After the men left, Feng and Sichuan Jiao began to prepare lunch.

There are many people eating.

Feng Shi took flour and noodles, prepared to steam steamed buns to eat, and said with emotion: "The third child is really a sincere person, otherwise, he would not have told us such a thing, and he would have brought someone over to fish." ”

"Cousin, don't think so, how can he catch so many fish in one boat." Sichuan pepper soaked the meat in the well water, took the potatoes and sat on the side of the well to peel them, "Everyone has a care together, I think it's good." ”

Fortunately, it was with Feng.

If she was with the Liu family and the Yang family, she wouldn't be able to stay.

"But we will eat and drink with you." Feng Shi felt a little guilty, "We also eat a lot with our two mouths." ”

Food, vegetables and vegetables were all brought by Pei Ze.

also let Wang Rong be the boss of the boat, speaking of which, their family made a bargain.

"My cousin is really out of sight." Hua Jiao smiled, "If you don't talk about this, haven't you helped our family a lot before!" ”

When Pei Ze didn't come back, the Pei family's life was difficult.

Wang Qi's family helped them a lot.

She estimated that Pei Ze called them over this time just to repay the favor.

At noon, the men came back from work sweating profusely.

Feng steamed steamed buns.

Sichuan pepper made braised pork, fried a large pot of shredded potatoes, and came to the island for the first meal, and everyone was very satisfied.

Later, Pei Ze took everyone to cut down trees and make stumps for drying fish, and it was almost dark when he came back.

After dinner, everyone sat on the edge of the stone table, drinking tea and chatting.

Pei Ze invited Huajiao to go out for a walk, saying that he would take her to recognize the way.

In front of everyone's eyes, Huajiao had to follow him out.
