Chapter 572: Harvesting Seafood
The two of them will definitely wonder where she put so much fresh seafood and how to transport it, you must know that it is summer, and the seafood will die after a while away from the sea, and it will soon turn sour.
Seeing the village chief glaring at him, Song Xi nodded clearly, came to the room, and saw that there were many buckets of fresh seafood in the room, and there was also a list of materials that the villagers wanted to exchange on the table.
Song Xi hurriedly transferred all the seafood to the supermarket for temporary storage.
I didn't expect the village chief to be so efficient and help her collect so much seafood so quickly, but she had to make a gesture with Zhou Yi at night to transport the seafood out, otherwise the village chief would definitely suspect where she put the seafood.
Especially if it's fresh seafood, not sun-dried seafood.
There are no fields in the small fishing village, they are all sandy and mountainous, and they can't grow anything, even if they grow sweet potatoes and corn, the yield is very low, and the harvest is not enough for the family to eat.
There are typhoons on the beach almost every year, and if there is a strong typhoon, there will be no harvest, and there will be no food, so you can only rely on seafood to satisfy your hunger.
But if you eat too much seafood, you don't like to eat seafood, and the nutrition of just eating seafood is too simple, so you still have to eat staple foods, so most of the list is sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and potatoes.
There are also those who want fine grains, but they want less fine grains, and they should only be to improve the food occasionally.
Song Xi prepared all the things that everyone needed according to the list, put them in a corner of the supermarket, and took them out when they went out at night.
At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Song Xi and Zhou Yi used the small cart provided by the village chief to push the wooden barrel and left, and the two of them went to a place not far from the small fishing village, put the small cart on the roof of the supermarket, dressed up as a 'blue cloud' and 'daytime' couple, and then set off to other villages.
In fact, a small fishing village alone cannot receive much fresh seafood, because the quantity of fish caught by manual fishing alone cannot meet her requirements, and the fish caught by the villagers at sea must be handed over to the cooperative.
That's why Song Xicai wanted several nearby villages to collect fresh seafood for her.
Song Xi didn't know where the village chief's house was, so when he came to the door of the first family, he used a handful of white rabbit toffee to ask the location of the village chief's house, and then Song Xi and Zhou Yi went straight to the village chief's house.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, Song Xi and Zhou Yi didn't bother to speak, took out a list and handed it to the village chief, and expressed their meaning directly to the point.
They are employees of the farm in Beihu Province, and they happen to have a batch of supplies in their hands, and they want to exchange fresh seafood with the village chief, and if the village chief wants to, they come over every night with the supplies to trade.
At this time, there was a shortage of materials everywhere, especially in places where they could not be planted, and the situation was even more serious.
Even if they lied to him, he had to give it a try.
The village chief was already so urgent.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi concocted the same method as they ran all over the nearby villages, made deals with the village chiefs of each village, and then went back, when they were about to arrive at the small fishing village, they released the small cart, and pushed a cart of supplies back, and Song Xi also pushed a bicycle, because it was too inconvenient to go out of the small fishing village.
The ox cart takes two or three hours, if there is a bicycle, then it can be shortened by half, during this time, they use the bicycle for their own use, and when they leave here, they will give the bicycle to the village chief, which can be regarded as thanking the village chief's family for taking care of them, and when she sends dried seafood in the future, she can also better control the quality.
The high-variety dried seafood that Xiao Qingcheng sent her was all received by the village chief from the villagers, and then exchanged materials from Song Xi and distributed them to everyone.
Otherwise, relying on Xiao Qingcheng alone, it would be impossible to accumulate so much dried seafood.
The village chief was excited to see them coming back, and when he saw the bicycle pushed by Song Xi, his eyes widened in surprise, Song Xi patted the saddle of the bicycle and said, "Village chief, when Xiao Qingcheng and Xue Baoli's wedding is over, when we leave here, this bicycle will be owned by the village chief." ”
The village chief's eyes widened, "What's so embarrassing?" ”
"Why are you embarrassed? As long as the village chief is attentive to what I have to say. Song Xi pushed the bicycle into the courtyard of the village chief's house.
After Zhou Yi pushed the cart in, he said to the village chief, "Village chief, the materials everyone wants are put in wooden barrels, please trouble the village chief to distribute them to everyone tomorrow, so we will go back to the room to rest first." ”
"I've worked hard for you today, so go back to your room and rest first! I'll send you to your room tomorrow when there's fresh seafood. The village chief nodded, watching Song Xi and Zhou Yi walk into the backyard, the village chief excitedly opened the burlap bag on the wooden barrel, and saw that each wooden barrel was filled with the materials that everyone needed, and the village chief was very happy.
The two comrades can really exchange materials for everyone, and now he can also give everyone an explanation.
At four o'clock in the morning, the fishing boat came back, and when the time came, you could bring all the seafood that you didn't want from the purchasing station, and see if the two comrades wanted it, and the purchasing station only needed fish, and the other crabs, lobsters, and snails were not wanted, and since the two comrades needed them here, they would bring them back.
After Song Xi and Zhou Yi returned to the room, they did not immediately lie down to rest, but put something behind the door, and then the two of them went to the roof of the supermarket to classify the seafood collected today.
Cat's eye snails, scallops, large conch, skin shrimp, octopus, crabs, eels, large yellow croaker, grouper, shrimp, razor clams, sea cucumbers......
Like razor clams, there are several varieties, double-headed razor clams, bamboo clams...... There are many types, and Song Xi didn't subdivide them, so he put a large category directly together.
Those that are visible to the naked eye are kept in a large tank with spiritual spring water, and those that do not move are transferred to the supermarket, because the supermarket is stationary and will not change its flavor for a hundred years.
After feeding all the poultry on the roof of the supermarket, the two went back to their rooms and slept on the bamboo bed arranged for them by the village chief's house.
Don't look at this bed is made of bamboo, but it's very strong!
Song Xi decided to ask the village chief to find someone to help her make a few bamboo beds like this, and when the children reach the age of naughty in the future, let them build them themselves!
Before dawn, Song Xi heard a sparse knock from the window, Song Xi pushed Zhou Yi in a daze, only to find that the side was empty, and there was no Zhou Yi for a long time.
Song Xi then remembered that Zhou Yi was a very keen person, and he could react quickly at the slightest sound, Song Xi looked towards the window, only to see Zhou Yi talking to the village chief through the gap in the curtain!
