Chapter Seventy-Four: Mother-in-law Urges Baby
After separating from Ou Shuxiang, Zhang Ze and Tong Shuyao took a boat directly to their father-in-law's house.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tong family drying fish bladders at the door, and these fish bladders looked like the batch of big yellow croakers that Tong Yuanhang caught last night.
"Sister-in-law, do you dry these swim bladders and eat them yourself?" Zhang Ze asked with some curiosity.
"Yo, Aze and Shuyao are here?" Yang Li, who was busy working, turned her head and saw the two of them and the things in their hands, and the smile on her original face became a little more enthusiastic, "Ah Hang didn't go fishing with you yesterday, these swim bladders are sunned, and if there are more of them, you can exchange them for something from the supply and marketing cooperative." ”
Zhang Ze is not surprised that the dried fish maw can be exchanged for things, and since the 60s, many fishing families in Zhejiang Province, Fu Province and some coastal areas of Nanguang have hung a large bag of fish glue in their houses.
In later generations, the names of Zhejiang Province, such as Big Ear and Hejiang Chizui, were named after the current local origin.
If Zhang Ze wants to do some dried fish glue and other businesses in the future, he can collect it from these fishermen.
Huh, wait...
Fish gelatin is a treasure, and many fishermen don't know how to sell it, but they only know that they can exchange something with the supply and marketing cooperative. In fact, many gourmets must be interested in this, after all, this thing can not only nourish the skin, but also have a certain tonic effect on the kidneys, that is, some people with thick tongue and bad stomach are not suitable for eating.
Ou Shuxiang, whom he met unexpectedly today, maybe the swim bladder could be sold to him?
This kind of thing goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy absolutely tickets, so he will definitely sell them well if he sells them privately.
It's just that...
"Shu Yao, is there a lot of this fish gelatin in every household on our island?" Zhang Ze asked his daughter-in-law in a low voice when he entered the door.
Tong Shuyao nodded: "Of course, sometimes if the fish is too much and the aquatic station does not accept it, everyone will take the fish back to dry and pickle it by themselves, such as eel swim bladder and yellow croaker swim bladder will be dried and preserved, and almost every household on the island has a lot of stock." ”
As she spoke, she suddenly thought of what Ou Shuxiang said when she was talking about business with her husband before, and her heart moved: "Aze, do you want to collect fish maw and sell it to that Ou Shuxiang?" ”
"I have this idea and want your brother to help collect it. But I'm afraid that someone will make a bad deal out of it, and then there may be trouble. This is where Zhang Ze hesitated, who knows if someone will make a bad report, and then Tong Yuanhang and him were arrested and imprisoned.
When Tong Shuyao heard him say this, he immediately grabbed his arm: "You can't do it, you can make a lot of money selling fish, don't take this risk." ”
"What sells fish?" The daughter and son-in-law came, of course Lu Man was happy, no, he greeted him as soon as possible.
As soon as he came out, he saw the two of them standing at the door, and his daughter was still holding her son-in-law's hand tightly, looking nervous.
There were only a few daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of the Tong family present, and some snoring sounds could be faintly heard in the room, and it was obvious that the men were sleeping.
"It's nothing, it's not the end of the farming now, I thought about calling Ah Hang and they continued to go out to sea to fish and sell fish, Shu Yao was just a little uneasy." Zhang Ze patted Tong Shuyao's little hand to show comfort, and then turned his head and smiled at his mother-in-law.
Just because his daughter-in-law was so nervous, he had already dispelled the idea of collecting and selling fish gelatin.
You can make money at any time, now you can sell fish to make money, and the fewer people who know, the less risk you have.
Even if it is secretive, it will make many people notice, and even if someone just sold fish gelatin to you today, his relatives or neighbors will report you, so there is really no need to do some risky things.
It will not be too late to wait for next year, and when the time comes, it will be sold in the name of justice, and there is no need to worry about this business being cut off in advance.
Several daughters-in-law of the Tong family heard that Zhang Ze had restarted the fish business, and their faces showed joy.
Since the men of the Tong family followed this son-in-law to fish and make money, their lives have been much better, and there may not be any change in clothing, but eating is obviously much better.
will secretly eat pork at least once a week, and Zhang Ze often comes over with Tong Shuyao, so he will bring something to eat every time.
So much so that the complexion of several of them has improved a lot, and their originally thin faces are obviously a lot rounder, not to mention the children in the family.
But Lu Man's thoughts are different from theirs, and in her eyes, the safety of the children is the most important thing.
"Aze, isn't the risk too great, I've encountered red sleeves a few times before."
"Mom, this time is different. This time, the other party provided a hidden place, and I just sent the fish there, which was much safer than before, and I would definitely not do it if it was the same as before. ”
Although Zhang Ze said so, Lu Man knew that there would still be a little risk, she didn't know that this son-in-law had a magical space, but she felt that the way to deliver the fish was still full of uncertainty.
Thinking of what her husband's comrade-in-arms said before, she decided to reveal something to her son-in-law.
"Aze, come here, I have something to tell you."
When Zhang Ze saw her like this, he guessed what she was going to say to him, but he still followed him to the kitchen, but judging from the reactions of several sisters-in-law, it is estimated that they don't know.
"Aze, Mom got some news here, there will be some changes in our policy of Wenshui City next year, and our fishermen's fish can be sold directly to the aquatic station, so..."
"Mom, Ah Hang told me about this. I think so, if there are more fish, the purchase price of the aquatic product station will definitely be very low. Even if the price is not lowered, the purchase price will definitely be a big difference from the market price, so I think it is necessary to grab some customers with strong purchasing power in advance. ”
"There's not much risk in this matter, and I'm sure I'll avoid it if I really encounter Red Sleeves."
Regarding the concern of the elders, Zhang Ze still explained patiently.
After all, he is not his own son, and his son-in-law has said that Lu Man is not easy to persuade him when he is on this duty.
As for his sons, there is no risk in simply fishing in the sea.
But after this incident, there was another thing, Lu Man grabbed Zhang Ze and asked meaningfully: "Aze, Shu Yao has been married to you for a few months, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Ze nodded, a little unsure.
"You have to work hard, my mother is still waiting to hold her grandson!"
"......" Zhang Ze suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, the topic turned a little big, and he could only explain it again, "Mom, Shu Yao is still young and not in a hurry." ”
"Why aren't you in a hurry, you haven't moved for a few months, and your neighbors in the village don't gossip or something?"
Lu Man can urge the baby so calmly, mainly because Zhang Huihong and she have urged her once before.
Originally, I was a little worried about whether Tong Shuyao couldn't conceive, but in the end, after Zhang Ze vaguely explained to his mother and father-in-law, they knew that he did it on purpose.
The excuse for that meeting was that Tong Shuyao was too small, her body was a little thin, and it was safer to have children after raising her.
He didn't expect his mother-in-law to start urging again today, but she was right.
There has been no movement for a few months, and some of the long-tongued women around do gossip.
The excuse from last time will definitely not work again, and the mother-in-law also knows some of the situation next year, so Zhang Ze told her his thoughts.
"Mom, in fact, I plan to have a child with Shu Yao. It's just that after listening to what Air said about next year, I have some thoughts in my heart. I'm planning to move to the county next year, and I can't afford to rent a house if I can't buy a house. At that time, it will be convenient to fish and sell fish, and if you make money, you don't have to worry that the people in the village will know that it will stumble on me. ”
"Moving to the county?" Lu Man never expected Zhang Ze to have this plan, and then he was overjoyed.
Originally, she thought that her daughter was married a little far, and it was a little inconvenient to see her daughter.
But the son-in-law's family moved to the county, and it was much easier for the two families to go back and forth, and she was naturally happy.
