The dorsal, pectoral and caudal fins of sharks can all be made into shark fins, so a shark can cut at least twenty or thirty catties of fins. Of course, if you make shark fin, you need to dry and dehydrate, and the shark fin made by a shark is only about ten catties.

Yu Hai and Liu Xuanzhu felt that today was definitely an explosion of character, and they actually hunted eight sharks in one day. In this way, the fins alone weigh more than 200 catties. The two families divided the fins equally, and when they were made into shark fins and taken to Fucheng, they would definitely be able to sell them for a good price. Yu Hai is a good hand at cleaning up shark fins, so Liu Xuanzhu asked Yu Hai to make the shark fins he was allotted. For this reason, Yu Hai was very busy for two days.

Yu Xiaocao fell in love with the feeling of underwater exploration, especially the deep sea, which is definitely a mysterious area. The products under the sea are absolutely abundant, and the harvest of diving once is many times higher than that of catching the sea! Recently, she didn't have any good ideas to make a fortune, so she started the idea of those best sea cucumbers, best abalone and best lobsters on the bottom of the sea.

Anyway, she has the backing of Zhenyulou, and the seafood she picked up at the bottom of the sea is not worried. On the contrary, when Xiaocao took out these sea cucumbers, abalones and live half-meter-long lobsters for the first time, the treasurer of Zhenyulou was stunned. After that, I was even more ecstatic!

Zhen Yulou has not launched new dishes for a while, and greasy dishes such as roast chicken and braised pork in summer are no longer as popular as in the past, and several chefs in the back kitchen are scratching their heads for new refreshing dishes.

With these superb seafood, why can't you attract guests? After the shopkeeper expressed his gratitude again, he agreed that if Brother Yu caught the best seafood again, he must sell it to Zhenyulou. The price is negotiable!

Those superb seafood, Xiaocao naturally can't be said to be her diving, so she puts the credit on her father's head. Fortunately, the big shopkeeper of Zhenyulou also knows that Yu Hai is not only a great hunter, but also a good fisherman. So there is no suspicion! A few abalones, a few sea cucumbers, and a large lobster were sold for two hundred taels of silver, and Xiaocao felt that this business was quite profitable, and it could be done!

Every day, in addition to taking care of her pregnant godmother, Xiaocao spends at least half of her days at the bottom of the sea. The Yu family also noticed that Xiaocao seemed to be running more diligently to the beach, and Yu Hai positioned this as "the little girl has just learned to swim, and the freshness has not passed!" Then she went to the beach to play. However, every time the family would tell her not to swim too far, to be careful and so on.

Midsummer is coming, and the new crop of sweet potatoes has been planted in the field, which is the time for farming. After a few torrential rains, the Yu family felt that it was imperative to build the house. The old house is too old, every time it rains, it is heavy rain outside and light rain inside, and almost all the utensils at home have to be used to catch the rain. Especially in the west, the Yu family is really worried that another rainstorm will collapse the old house.

After selling the shark fin, Yu Hai decided to build three tiled houses next to the old house, and then tear down the old house and rebuild it after it was able to live in it, connecting five blue brick houses, plus the east and west side houses, which is enough for the family to live!

Just do it! Yu Hai first ran to Cifu City, contacted a brick kiln, and ordered 150,000 green bricks and 30,000 tiles. These bricks and tiles, including the cost of delivering them to the home, cost nearly two hundred taels. As for the stones for laying the foundation, Dongshan Village is close to the mountain, and if you find some strong laborers from the village, you can produce enough stones in two or three days.

Yu Hai has a good relationship with Zhenyulou, and because of his relationship, the two workshops of the Zhou family are given priority to recruit workers from Dongshan Village, and the treatment is very good. Usually, Yu Hai is a warm-hearted person, who has something to do, as long as he can use him, he has never shirked it. Therefore, Yu Hai has become the most prestigious and interpersonal relationship in Dongshan Village in addition to the village head.

Originally, Yu Hai planned to hire more than a dozen people from the town to help build a house, with fifty yuan a day and two meals. Unexpectedly, several families with good relationships heard that Yu Hai's family was going to build a new house, so they all turned down the work at hand and rushed to help.

The first to come over was Liu Xuanzhu, who had a dead relationship with Yu Hai, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Dahai, how many brothers do you look down on?" Or are you afraid that our building technology will not be able to reach our home, and we will be in trouble with the bricks and tiles you bought? ”

Yu Hai slammed his fist on his shoulder: "Look at you, what are you talking about?" Am I not afraid of delaying your work? ”

The current Dongshan Village is not as good as in the past, except for the old and weak, women and children, there are almost no idlers. Not to mention those who enter the Zhou family's workshop to work, digging sand worms and picking up oysters at low tide, there are also 100 wen a day! No matter how hard it is to help on the dock, you can earn dozens of dollars a day.

According to the practice of Dongshan Village, whoever wants to build a new house, the middle-aged labor force in the village will come to help, and the main family only needs to take care of two meals a day! Yu Hai is afraid of delaying the wealth of the people in the village!

Liu Xuanzhu's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "My brother builds a house, even if he can earn a mountain of gold a day, he has to worry about his brother's affairs first!" ”

"Brother Bolt is right! Brother Dahai, it's a shame for you to talk like this! As the saying goes: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! When will the foundation be laid? I'll call you Brother Zhou and your eldest nephew to come over and help! Fang Shi carried a basket of eggs, walked in from outside the door, and took over the conversation.

Mao saw Fang enter the door of the Yu family, thought about it and came over. In the past few days, Yu Haiding's bricks and tiles have been sent over one after another, and the Qian family is so close that it is difficult for the Yu family to build a house. Since the beginning of spring, the Qian family has raised ducks and duck eggs in short supply, and it has made a small dish. Mao is grateful for the friendship of the Yu family, so he naturally will not sit idly by.

"The sister-in-law of the Zhou family is right! If it weren't for your grass's ability, our ducks and Zhou's sister-in-law's chickens wouldn't have been sold! Our family's old money can't make a lot of money at the dock, and he's still tired and tired, I don't want him to do it for a long time! Just right, take this opportunity to let him rest for a few days and come over to help! "Mao's mouth is still so neat!

Yu Hai was much more clumsy in comparison, and he said sneeringly: "How can that be done......

Liu Xuanzhu's loud voice lit up again: "Why can't it be!" In the past few years, the children have grown up, and it is time to talk about the daughter-in-law every two years, and I am also thinking about building three new houses next year, so that my son can also talk about good family affairs in the future! You also know that I don't know much and don't understand anything, and when the time comes, I'll point to Brother Dahai to help me get an idea! Brother Dahai won't help but help! ”

"How can that! Nothing is more important than a brother's business!! "Yu Hai is a loving person, so there are still a few good buddies in the village!

Liu Xuanzhu slapped his face and said, "That's right!" What is a brother? That's a friend has something to do, and the two ribs are stuck in the knife......"

Yu Xiaocao, who came in from outside, snorted and laughed: "Uncle Zhuzhu, that's called 'friends are in trouble, and the two ribs are inserted'!" It means that for the sake of friends, you can sacrifice everything, even your life! ”

"Hehe, my eldest niece is still knowledgeable. That's what it means! I can give you my life, not to mention those stinky money? That's it! I've heard that our niece's cooking skills are very good, and I'm going to have a great time to eat when the time comes! Liu Xuanzhu said as he went out, preparing to find a few other brothers to help Brother Dahai build a house.

Yu Jiang, who was harvesting seafood not far away, heard Liu Xuanzhu's shouting, and also probed in, and said loudly: "Second brother! Building a house counts me and my big brother! ”

Yu Hai didn't have time to talk, his head retracted, and there were a few people in front of him who came to sell the packed seafood! In summer, the weather is hot, and the seafood is the most likely to spoil, so he has to take care of it, and if the color is not right and the smell is different, he can't accept it! The Zhou family workshop trusts the second brother and hands over this business to him, but he can't smash the second brother's signboard!!

On the day of the foundation, there were no less than 20 people, most of whom had a good relationship with the Yu family in the village, and there were also many who wanted to improve the relationship with the Yu family, thinking about what benefits would be in the future, and Yu Hai could take care of them. The Liu family came to Xiaocao's grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle, and second uncle.

Although Xiaocao's grandfather Liu Cunjin is over fifty years old, he has been engaged in labor all year round, and his body is hard, and ordinary young people may not be able to surpass him in work. His only daughter wants to build a house, and he has to come over to check no matter what he says.

Xiaocao's second uncle Liu Han did not go out to work, he stayed at home to farm, and it was the time when the field was idle at this time, so of course he had to come over to help. It was the eldest uncle who also took a few days off on the dock to give his sister and brother-in-law a hand.

Building a house is indispensable to take care of the food, and my grandmother feels sorry for her daughter, so she has come over with the burden of money, and is ready to live in her daughter's house these days to help her cook and help.

Looking at these relatives and friends, everyone was smiling from the heart, and Xiaocao's heart was warm. The simplicity, kindness and enthusiasm of the ancient people made her sense of belonging clearer. Perhaps, this kind of life is more suitable for her!

There are many people who work hard, and with these dozen young and middle-aged laborers, the foundations of the three main houses and two partial houses of the Yu family are almost done in one day!

It's a hot day in the middle of summer. Although these people are accustomed to working under the sun, Xiaocao is still afraid that they will suffer from heat stroke, so he contributed the mung beans prepared at home to reduce the heat, boiled out a pot of mung bean soup, put it in the well cold water and chilled it, and then add some rock sugar, and drink it when it is tired and hot, not to mention how comfortable it is!

Seventeen or eighteen young adults eat, it is really spectacular. The rice alone has to be boiled in two large pots, and I am afraid that there will not be enough to eat, so the Yu family also specially steamed a few pots of white and fat steamed buns. The rice is white rice, and the steamed bread is white flour steamed bread. Even if the life in Dongshan Village is much better than before, there are still a few families who have no food.

Not to mention the Yu family's meals, they are all hard dishes! Chicken stewed mushrooms, salted duck, pork stewed vermicelli, braised pig's head, all on one pot at a time! The vegetarian dishes are also stir-fried with oyster sauce and monosodium glutamate, and it is said that you can only enjoy them at the big hotels in the town! Between meals, Xiaocao is also ready to relieve the heat and delicious cold powder!

Not to mention the rest, just for these meals that are better than what they eat during the New Year, they have to work hard! Or is it worthy of the delicious food at this table?

Originally, Yu Xiaocao and her father and mother wanted to pay them some wages every day. As soon as I brought it up, I was scolded by several of my father's good buddies. Isn't it true that they have made a fortune and look down on their former brothers? Raise money with your brothers and hurt your feelings!

Xiaocao's grandfather said something that made them dispel this idea: "I know that you have good intentions, but once this opening is opened, how can others in the village ask someone to help build a house in the future?" Relatives and friends get along with each other, and they are in love! The old man's wise words woke up the two of them like an initiation. No one in the Yu family mentioned the matter of money again!
