Zhang Li sat on the chair and did not speak for a long time.

Ding Xiaoxiang sat on the small sofa opposite, and did not speak.

"Humph!"

"Isn't there anything you have to say?"

Zhang Mai thought that if he didn't say it, Ding Xiaoxiang would not be pressured and take the initiative to say something. Especially if he has any dealings with Zhao Dahai, but he doesn't say a word like Shi.

"Huh?"

"Mom!"

"What do you want me to say? I don't dare to breathe now, where do I dare to speak? ”

Ding Xiaoxiang's little head shook.

Zhang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes, her big black eyes kept turning around, and she didn't dare to breathe.

"That's it!"

"Who are you, I don't know?"

"Let's talk about it!"

"What the hell is going on between you and Zhao Dahai?"

Zhang Li didn't go around in circles, and asked directly.

"What does it matter? But it's just a confession. ”

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head, never admit it, don't look at Zhang Lili's frank and lenient look, once she really said it, she would definitely stab the hornet's nest, and it would be light if she couldn't go out at home.

Zhang Li was angry for a while, and Ding Xiaoxiang refused to admit that she really had no good way.

"Mom!"

"Your daughter is young now, but she will have to get married one day. You have to admit it, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if Zhao Dahai or Li Dahai or Zhao Xiaohai or anything, it will make money, especially if it can hurt people. That's what matters, doesn't it? ”

Ding Xiaoxiang pondered for a while, gritted her teeth, she had long wanted to say this, after the New Year, she would be seventeen years old, how could she stare at herself all day long.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes!

My daughter is young now, but she will get married one day, and she can't stay by her side all the time.

Why do you keep staring at it?

Ding Xiaoxiang is not wrong, it is important to be able to make money, especially to hurt people, whether the person who marries is called Zhao Dahai or Li Dahai or Li Xiaohai is not an important thing.

"Mom!"

"What is the matter?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little nervous, and Zhang Li didn't speak for a while.

"Humph!"

"How old are you? Thinking about getting married? Shame on you! ”

Zhang Li stood up, patted Ding Xiaoxiang's head gently, turned around and walked out.

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little dumbfounded, she originally thought that there would be three sessions of trial, and it would be stormy, but she didn't expect to pass the test easily, this is her own mother?

Zhang Li returned to her room, sat on the chair, and sighed a little in her heart, her daughter has really grown up, and what she said makes sense, men are really these two things, and it hurts to make money.

Will Zhao Dahai make money?

It's really good to make money!

Does it hurt or not?

More than 100,000 or 200,000 big catfish said that if they don't sell it, they won't sell it, and they will keep it for their daughter-in-law to eat in confinement, and few people can do it.

Could it be that you don't care about these two people's affairs?

Zhang Li wrinkled her brows, thought about it for a long time, and couldn't decide, so she could only put it aside for a while and talk about it later.

Fortune Restaurant.

Liu Gang looked at the big fish in the refrigerator and sighed, but unfortunately he couldn't take it down.

"These catfish are pretty good."

"How about the price of currency is one hundred and fifty yuan a catty?"

Liu Gang took a look, and the small fish taken out of Zhao Dahai's refrigerator were all more than one catty, and the largest one was a little more than five catties.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and nodded, the price of the small catfish is about the same as that of the spring fish, and the price is quite reasonable.

"Forty-five pounds of fish, six thousand seven hundred and fifty pieces."

"Shi Jiugong is thirty-two catties, one thousand three hundred and twenty-six pieces."

"It's eight thousand and seventy-six in total."

Liu Gang looked at the big fish in the refrigerator again, and asked if he would sell it or not, and he would take it for 200,000 yuan immediately, and if the price was higher, these had to be considered, especially if he had to ask the boss.

Zhao Dahai shook his head with a smile, he really made up his mind and really didn't sell it, the fish head stone of the big fish fish is very good for the body of children, and the fish gelatin made of fish fat is very useful for the recovery of women after childbirth, such a big fish, maybe only one can be caught in this life, and you have to keep it for yourself.

Zhao Dahai took the money and rode home on a tricycle.

Liu Gang was very helpless, turned around and went back to the restaurant, money can buy a lot of things, but sometimes you can't buy what you want to buy, Zhao Dahai can make money now, and he began to think about good things for himself.

Zhao Dahai pulled the big fish back home, and the tricycle drove directly into the courtyard gate.

"Grandma!"

Zhao Dahai shouted.

"Yo!"

"You're back?!"

Zhong Cuihua walked out of the house, and the little milk black followed inch by inch.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that the fish was not going to be sold.

"Good!"

"This is good!"

Zhong Cuihua didn't say a word, and immediately agreed, growing up in a small fishing village, she knows very well the use of fish head stones and fish gelatin, one is for postpartum recovery, and the other is for children, Zhao Dahai does not sell it, so he must support it.

"Hah!"

"Grandma!"

"Someone has already offered 150,000!"

Zhao Dahai teased Zhong Cuihua.

"Yo?!"

"What about 150,000?"

"Isn't it good to keep it for your own family? We don't lack this money. ”

"Children and grandchildren are the most important thing!"

Zhong Cuihua waved her hand. One hundred and fifty thousand is indeed a lot of money. But compared with the health of granddaughters-in-law and grandchildren, it is not taken into account. It is very dignified that people on the edge of the fishing village can hide such things in their homes. It can be of great use when it is critical. It's not something money can buy. It's not that I can't afford to eat now, so I don't have to sell it. The reason for this is very clear.

Zhao Dahai immediately went out to find Zhao Shi, and he had to find a veteran to open the fish belly and get the fish fat, which he couldn't do by himself.

Zhao Dahai shouted the second grandfather, someone inside pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Zhao Shi sitting on the threshold smoking hookah, and the second grandmother Golden Peach was choosing vegetables next to her, and said her thoughts.

"Hey!"

"The sea."

"You're doing the right thing."

"Those fish with blue spots or something are sold and sold, this kind of big catfish, especially the fish maw and fish stones, really have to be kept, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch such a big big fish again in this life."

Jin Tao glared at Zhao Shi as he spoke, joking that he didn't have such good fortune when he got married and had children.

"I've never caught a fish this big in my life."

"Where did you get the fish gelatin?"

Zhao Shi shook his head, don't talk about himself, in the past twenty years, no one in the surrounding villages has caught such a big catfish, a large trawler in the deep sea, there are a lot of twenty or thirty catties, this kind of more than 100 catties, I really haven't heard of it, Zhao Dahai really doesn't know what kind of luck it is.

"There's a guy in the next village."

"There's such kung fu in your hands."

"Now you come with me."

Zhao Shi knows that Zhao Dahai can make money now, and if he wants to keep it for himself, he can keep it for himself, and the fish maw and fish stone can be stored for a long time, and he is really short of money to sell it, this is a hard currency that can be realized at any time.

Zhao Dahai immediately went to the next village with Zhao Shi, and after looking for a while to find a low house, knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man in his early sixties with a wrinkled face walked out.

"Sun Er."

"Come to life!"

"Pack your things and come with me."

Zhao Shi spoke directly.

"What's the job?"

"Let's be clear. Shall I get a hoe and follow you? ”

Sun Er glared at Zhao Shi.

"Phew!"

"Can you still afford a hoe?"

"A hundred-pound big fish, I have to find you to get the fish maw and fish head stone!"

"Hurry! Don't bother! ”

Zhao Shi is welcome, the two have known each other since they were young.

"Huh?"

"What the hell is that?"

"How can there be such a big catfish?"

Sun Er's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"Hey!"

"What's the point? Is there such a big fish, why don't you just go and see it? Can this thing still deceive people? ”

Zhao Shi was impatient.

"Good!"

"You wait!"

"If you're not so big, you'll be in charge of dinner tonight!"

"Two pounds of wine!"

Sun Er said as he turned around and went back to the house, and after a while he came out with a canvas bag containing a knife for eating.

Zhao Dahai didn't say a word, and rode a tricycle to take Zhao Shi and Sun Er home.

"!"

"Really such a big catfish?!"

Sun Er was dumbfounded.

"Don't you see? I said, where did you go in this business? I've never seen a fish like this! ”

Zhao Shi laughed at Sun Er.

"Phew!"

"You've been fishing for 40 years, have you ever caught such a big fish?"

"Forget it."

"Don't say you can catch it. Have you ever seen a catfish this big? ”

Sun Er immediately replied.

Zhao Shi can't help it, he really hasn't seen it.

"What's your boy's name? Did you catch this fish? ”

Sun Er turned his head to look at Zhao Dahai.

"My name is Zhao Dahai. This fish was caught yesterday. Good luck. ”

Zhao Dahai patted the fish.

"It's a big fish. Why don't you sell it? The cost of taking fish stone fish gelatin is 5,000 yuan. You may not think it's a good deal. ”

Sun Er carefully looked at the price of the fish.

"Okay!"

Zhao Dahai didn't bargain.

Sun Er turned his head to look at Zhao Shi.

"That's it! Do a good job. ”

Zhao Shi took a sip of hookah and nodded.

Sun Er didn't say a word, he immediately started working, the fish passed the scales, one hundred and eleven pounds and one tael, it was really big, and the ice was pressed for a night, and it had to be thawed first, and it was not until nine o'clock in the morning the next day that he began to open the fish to take fish stones and fish fat.

Zhao Dahai looked at the door of the closed room, originally thinking to see how to take it, but the fish was thawed, Sun Er asked for the room, locked the door directly, worked alone, no one was allowed to look, and the seawater could only be placed at the door, and he didn't give a glance inside.

Zhao Dahai is a little regretful, this is no way, this is a craft, Sun Er and himself are not related, there is no reason to let yourself see it.

Zhao Dahai waited until six o'clock in the afternoon before the door opened, and Sun Er walked out with a tired face, holding a basin in his hand, containing a fish fat that was the width of a child's thigh in the thickest place, and a fist-sized translucent stone-like thing was placed on the side, which was the fish stone of the fish head.

Sun Er walked to the dustpan that had been prepared earlier, picked up the fish maw, and carefully flattened and straightened it.

"Good!"

"You old man's craft is indeed good!"

Zhao Shi stood in front of the dustpan, looked at it carefully, and kept nodding.

"Humph!"

"If you take the money, you must do a good job!"

Sun Er took the fish stone in the basin and put it on the edge of the fish's belly, this thing has to be dried.

"Don't put this thing in the sun."

……

"Don't get the dew."

……

"You have to put a ventilated place."

"Under the eaves or something."

……

"Now it's in the dustpan to be finalized. It's going to be ready in two days. Can be hung to dry. ”

……

"You dry the fish yourself. Not much to pay attention to. I've salted it. It can be hung up at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. ”

"You can dry the salted fish in the village."

……

"Old!"

"I can't bear it!"

"I'll go back first. Come back early tomorrow morning. ”

……

Zhao Dahai immediately took the prepared cash and a cigarette and handed it to Sun Er, sent it out of the door and looked away before returning to the yard.

"Second grandfather!"

"How can you tell that this fish maw is good?"

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish maw on the dustpan, Sun Er didn't say, but Zhao Shi was his own second grandfather, so he asked if he didn't understand.

"Anyone can take fish maw."

"We can do this kind of work like knives!"

"Sun Er, this old man's great thing is that he can achieve completeness. Second, it can be washed clean. ”

"With such a big fish, there are more things connected to the fish fat, and inexperienced people don't know what should be left and which should not be kept. Something more, especially something less. The price of this thing is far from the same. ”

"Fish fat is not clean, there are some blood streaks or other things, how to wash it to be clean, this is a set of methods."

"That's the reason why Sun Er doesn't show it."

Zhao Dahai listened to Zhao Shi while carefully looking at the fish maw on the dustpan, it was really very complete, there were heads and tails and thin whiskers up and down, the whole fish maw was translucent white, so clean that there was no blood line or impurities, and when he got closer, he smelled it closely, and there was no fishy smell at all.

Zhao Dahai sent Zhao Shi away, and when he came back, he saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua looking at the fish maw on the edge of the dustpan, and kept laughing, and couldn't help but be happy.

Zhao Dahai walked into the room, the big fish that was opened in half was placed on a bamboo mat, and he looked at the cut knife, which was extremely smooth, he couldn't do it by himself with this alone, this is not something that can be done with strength.

Zhao Dahai looked at the whole fish carefully, it was very clean, it was really amazing, and the five thousand yuan was worth it.

Late at night.

Zhao Dahai took the ladder, and the whole fish was hung under the eaves with a bamboo frame, the night wind blew, swaying gently, a huge shadow, the fish was really big.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish maw drying on the dustpan, and regretted pulling the town a little, the news came out, don't look at yourself, and said clearly that it was reserved for the future daughter-in-law to eat in confinement, but there would definitely be unrelenting seafood dealers coming to the door.

Zhao Dahai had a little headache, but he didn't bother, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and someone really came to the door to talk about it.
