Chapter 52 Living by the Sea Fish is Expensive

"Cheng, I'll get it now, it's better to finish eating early, and your father will go to the field in the afternoon." As Wang spoke, he went into the house to get cornmeal, ignoring Liu from beginning to end. Wang, she really hates Liu.

"Mother, look at that little cheap hoof."

Wang and Yang Chuxia went to do things separately, and Yang Ruoqiu, who ran out and was about to quarrel with Yang Chuxia, suddenly felt a sense of dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, it's okay, your grandmother will find a chance to clean her up when you go back."

At lunch, Yang Chuxia said that the three rooms were burned first, so naturally the three rooms came first. The fish soup in the pot has been milky white because it has been burned early and has been in a long time, and it is particularly delicious with green onion and ginger slices. Coupled with the browned corn tortillas pasted by the Wang family, and a handful of beans from a clan's hometown were fried, and suddenly there was a smell of food in the entire stove room and even in the courtyard of Lao Yang's house.

The son of the Liu family, Yang Qingbao, and his daughter, Yang Dongzhi, as well as Yang Xiaochuan and others, stretched their heads into the stove room from time to time, just to see if they could drink fish soup. just saw Yang Chuxia standing in the stove room, so he shrank his head and went back.

Yang Chuxia smiled secretly, the old lady can prevent you people from coming to eat and drink, and she is afraid that the old woman and the Liu family will not succeed once and poison them twice, so she has already agreed with the Wang family that the meals in the old Yang family's stove will be cooked by them together for the past two days.

Because of the rare meat dish like fish soup for lunch, several children were very happy and devoured it. The children will be like this, firstly, because the old Yang family rarely eats fish and meat, and secondly, even if they buy fish, they can't eat it, and every time they are cheaper people in the big house and the second room.

In fact, although this poplar village belongs to the coastal zone, because they have no fishing boats and are not particularly close to the sea, they still have to buy fish if they want to eat it. And it's not cheap at all.

Because fishing in this era is not as good as in modern times, the fishing boats are large and safe, and there are very few fish to get back and forth every time, plus it is something in the sea, it is almost like that wild thing, and the thing is few and rare, and the price is naturally expensive. Forget about the price, sometimes you may not be able to buy it, because every time the fishing boat comes back, the merchant waiting on the side will buy the fish and crab or something, and then put ice cubes on it and ship it directly to other places.

So even if they are very close to the sea, it is rare to buy fish to eat once, and if they spend the money of the old woman and the child, they will buy even less.

Yang Chuxia estimated that if this small river was not called an evil river, the fish in it would have been caught long ago. People here are very superstitious, and they have heard that the river is not clean, and no matter how many fish there are in it, they will not get it. It's cheaper for her, and she doesn't believe in that anyway.

After lunch, after resting for a while, Yang Dachuan carried a shovel and went to the ground. The old Yang family gave them one acre of paddy field and three acres of dry land, both of which were planted with crops such as rice and corn.

It's just that four acres of land is too little, so he wants to take advantage of the lack of work in the town in the past two days to continue to open up wasteland. When the work of carrying the bag came, he continued to carry the bag, and there were thirty dollars a day, and it must be no problem to feed the family, and then there was the harvest in the field to fill it, and there was no spare money left in a year.

"Dad, I'll go down to the ground with you."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll help you clear the wasteland!" She still knows how to dig the ground, and she is idle at home anyway, so it's better to reduce the burden on her father.
