The water officer assessed the price of the fish according to the current price, and Haizhu counted out eighty-three copper plates from his purse and handed them to him.

"Today's catch is not successful, and it seems that fishing in the sea is not a good harvest." The water officer said.

Haizhu nodded, "I changed places twice today, but I didn't meet any good goods." ”

Then a wooden cart was brought in and the octopus and flatfish were pulled away.

The sound of the wooden cart rumbling sounded in the alley, and Dongzhu ran out of the door when he heard the voice, "Sister, you're back, milk, my sister is back." ”

"The door opens."

Haizhu pulled the wooden cart directly into the courtyard, and under the wall of the courtyard wall were two benches, on which were placed five sieve baskets, and the sieve baskets contained washed leeks.

"Sister, there is hot water boiling in the pot, you go wash your hair, and I'll get the things in the car." Dongzhu said.

"Milk, I came back with a bag of fish, you scraped the scales, and I went to set up a stall to sell grilled fish at night." Haizhu said, "What about the wind and the tide? ”

"I went with your third uncle to chop wood."

Haizhu thought that Fengping was going to Hongshi Village to find her mother, so she scooped up the water and washed the sea water off her head in front of the ditch, wiped it dry and took a bath, and then pushed the cart to the blacksmith to get the iron plate and iron frame.

When she came back, she met Shen Sui, and she said, "Eat less for dinner, I invite you to eat grilled fish." ”

"Someone went to sea to block you today? Thief grandson. Shen Sui pushed her away, he dragged the wooden rafters with one hand, "Those thieves and grandsons came to me, I beat people up, and if anyone goes to block you in the future, tell me, the sixth brother will clean them up." ”

Haizhu smiled slyly and said, "I knew they would come to you, so I roasted the biggest squid for you to eat at night." ”

Chapter 52: Sell for money, I won't eat

"By the way, is Second Brother Han still in Yongning?" Haizhu asked.

"Here, he's resting in the barracks, it's that uninhabited island."

That uninhabited island turned into a military camp? Haizhu didn't expect that she had heard Han Ji mention the barracks, but she had never seen the barracks in the town, and she thought that the army was hiding in some secret place, so she didn't ask much until she was there.

"Forget it, I wanted to treat him to grilled fish." Haizhu said.

"It's okay, I'll eat it for him, when are you going to set up a stall?" Entering the alley, Shen Sui glanced over from the person sitting outside the door chatting, and put on a posture close to Haizhu, so as not to have a long-sighted person to find fault.

"When things are ready, go over."

When he arrived at the door, he smelled the fishy smell before he went in, Shen Sui covered his nose and didn't enter the door, stood under the wall and said, "Jia Qing said you have seen him?" When have you met him? ”

"I've seen him talk to Second Brother Mao, and Second Brother Mao is friendly with you, I guess he knows you eighty percent of it, and he got him." Haizhu took all the iron plates and iron shelves into the yard, and pushed the cart out to go shopping, "Sixth brother, if you are okay, go and help me carry things?"

Shen Sui had no opinion, he pulled the wooden cart and walked down the street, and when he met someone he knew to say hello, he took the initiative to introduce Haizhu as his sister-in-law, the kind that has the grace of saving lives.

I bought two long tables and eight long benches, and went to the pottery shop to buy the coarsest plates and bowls.

"These ...... you bought," Shen Sui didn't know what to say, "Why don't I give you one?" Good luck with your business? ”

Haizhu waved his hand, and went to the bamboo shop opposite to buy chopsticks.

Standing on the street, she thought about it, and went to buy four lanterns, sold cans of lamp oil, and wanted to buy lamp oil made of whale oil, but there was no stock in the shop, saying that it had been robbed a long time ago.

"I have it at home, I'll give you a can." Shen Sui followed behind and said.

"I'll give you the money."

"Come on, there's no shortage of that money." Shen Sui was still thinking about the plate that was not on the table, and said, "I will simply send you another basket of plates." ”

"I buy these plates to deal with for a few days first, I am going to collect shells and turtle shells as plates and bowls, there are many shells on the beach, pick them up, wash them, put them in a pot and cook them, you can use them, and if you have guests buy grilled fish and fried tofu or something, you can directly take them away, and I don't have to bother washing dishes and bowls." Speaking of tofu, Haizhu went to a stall that often changes tofu to buy five pieces of tofu, and almost bought all of them.

Shen Sui helped send her back again, and said on the way: "Tomorrow I will go to Han Ji to say, the person in charge of the army is the most useful to speak, he will come out with a mouth, no one in the town will dare to trouble you." ”

Haizhu didn't expect that he was still thinking about this, she was strangely moved, and said sincerely: "Sixth brother, you are really a good person, and it is a great blessing in my life to know you." ”

Shen Sui was never modest when it came to being praised, he smiled proudly, "You said that I was covering you to coax you?" Don't worry, it's not a thing, it's on me, and if you encounter something again, come to me directly. ”

The voice of the speaker raised eight tones, the feet of the walking were fluttering, and the momentum of this righteous and thin cloud attracted people passing by to look at him.

Haizhu: ......

She knew how to make him hot-headed, and as he was now, she just asked him to stand guard at her night stall every day, and he probably couldn't nod his head without hesitation.

"That...... This afternoon, an old man called out to me at the dock and said that he would introduce me to a money-making business, and go to the sea to fish for pearls for five taels of silver a day. ”

"It can't be done." Shen Sui instantly came back to his senses, "If you pick pearls, you can sell them directly to the government, and it is easy to be deceived when you buy and sell them privately." ”

"No, it's to go pearl diving, whether there is a harvest or not, there are five taels of silver for half a day."

"That's not good, it's not that the registered Tan people are not protected by the government, it's as simple as one or two people dying at sea, as for whether you die or not, it's all up to one mouth." Shen Sui frowned and stared at Haizhu, she didn't look like a foolish person, why did she still believe in this scam?

Haizhu pretended to be abrupt, and said: "When I was in Qijiawan before, Zhunu also said that she wanted to teach me pearl diving, but fortunately I didn't agree. "She clicked so far, it's too straightforward to be annoying.

If it weren't for Shen Sui's good deeds and selfishness, she really didn't want to chew these tongues.

Shen Sui was not a stupid person, he understood the meaning of the words, and he also saw her purpose of pretending to be confused. He wanted to laugh and feel sad, quite disappointed, he first rescued the pearl girl when she was forced by her brother to go to the sea to dive pearls, she regarded it as a fatal business, but after solving the difficulty, he encouraged others to jump into the quagmire.

"I remembered that I made an appointment for a drink tonight, so I won't accompany you to set up a stall." Shen Sui didn't have the heart to eat, he wanted to drink, "I'll go to Han Ji tomorrow, you can do your business with peace of mind." ”

Haizhu glanced at him, took the wooden cart and let him go.

The two parted at the mouth of the alley, Haizhu pushed the wooden cart back and met Qi Laosan coming back from chopping wood, and saw that she was a little worried when she bought a cart full of things, and she was quite able to toss.

"The fish are all scraped clean, you can do whatever you want, the longer you leave it, the less fresh it will be." Grandma Qi said that she has nothing to say about how her eldest granddaughter tosses now, so let her toss if she is not short of money.

"Third uncle, you find me four thick branches to come out, with forked ones, I want to hang lanterns. Dongzhu and Fengping washed these dishes and dried them with a clean cloth. "Haizhu began to work.

She carried the peanuts, sesame and soybean paste that had been fried before into the car, put it in a crockpot with onions, garlic, ginger and peppercorns, fried oil in a pot, and put the tofu in a basin, and then carried two buckets of clean water on the wooden cart, and then pulled the cart to set up a stall first.

There is still sunset in the sky, there are returning ships on the sea, the evening is cool, the people who are hiding at home are out, the alleys are lively, and the streets are also lively.

The night stall is still placed at the entrance of the alley outside the Changming Tavern, the long tables and benches are set up first, and then go to the tavern to take out the tables, chairs and benches that are stored, and the ingredients are placed and the iron frame and fire utensils are taken down.

"What is this to sell? Fried tofu? A passerby asked.

"Not only that, but grilled fish and grilled octopus."

Qi Laosan came over with firewood and lanterns, and Fengping immediately prepared to burn the fire.

The match was lit with a puff of smoke, and the passers-by avoided the detour, and Haizhu took the lid of the pot to cover the pot with fish and leeks so as not to fall into the dust.

"Sister, the fire is burning." Fengping said.

"Sister, what should I do?" Dongzhu is a little out of the way.

"You wait first, third uncle, don't go." Haizhu was so busy that he didn't bother to say more.

The tongue of fire licked the iron plate, and the iron plate that he had just got in his hand burned a rusty smell, Haizhu poured water and kept scrubbing, and asked Dongzhu to cut a piece of fat pork with skin, and fed it fat, and the rust smell was gone.

A spoonful of clear oil was poured on the iron plate, and white smoke came out with a stinging sound, and Haizhu put down four flat fish in the white smoke, and the flat fish was cut from the back, and the back of the fish on both sides touched the hot oil, and it instantly burned yellow.

The passers-by stopped, and the owner of the tavern also came over.

Haizhu cut the tofu and put it in the center of the iron plate, and put the octopus on the rest of the place, and the clear oil thorns were scorching, and she scooped a spoonful of pepper oil and poured it on.

"Ahem—"

People choking on oil and gas cover their mouths and cough.

Some people are gone, others are coming, and those who intend to stay and taste have already taken up their seats.

"Bring me a bowl of leeks." Haizhu shouted.

Dongzhu immediately went to get it.

The grilled fish on the edge of the iron plate was turned over, and Haizhu brushed the belly of the fish with a brush dipped in pepper oil, and shouted: "Scoop half a bowl of sauce for me." ”

Dongzhu put down the leek bowl and went to dig the sauce again.

The shovel cut off the half-cooked octopus, and the oily octopus was already cooked, and Haizhu poured the leeks in the bowl, and the leeks touched the hot octopus, and the taste came out at once.

"Sister, the sauce is here."

Haizhu took it, the spoon hesitated on the clear oil and pepper oil, and finally poked into the oil jar containing the clear oil, no way, the taste of the people here is really light.

The tofu is already cooked, the two sides are browned shells, the inside is soft and tender, Haizhu picks up the plate, puts a shovel on a plate, and then drizzles a circle of sauce, and lets Dongzhu serve it to the guests.

When it was dark, Qi Laosan lit the lantern with a wooden stick burning on the fire, and the light from the four lanterns covered the dining table and iron plate.

"The sizzling octopus is cooked, who wants it?" Haizhu asked.

The three people who came back from the tavern asked for three portions, and the two who had no seats took two plates with them, and the people sitting at the long table each ordered one to taste.

Haizhu left a plate and put it on the desk for his own people to eat.

"It's better than stir-frying." Dongzhu was surprised.

Haizhu took half an octopus head to eat, first the sauce was fragrant, the first spoonful of pepper oil poured out of the taste was no longer tasteful, the soybean crushed oil was more fragrant after frying, the tender and tough octopus meat was wrapped in sesame paste, and occasionally you could bite into the crushed peanuts, to be chewed, the crushed peanuts were mixed in the meat and could not be found. Leeks are the most flavorful, fried ones retain moisture, not soft and tummy, and they will not be chewed until they end up becoming a lump of rotten grass.

"Three more servings of octopus." The man who was drinking shouted, and handed the copper plate to Qi Laosan casually.

Qi Laosan took away the empty plates, loaded them and sent them over.

The fish was also grilled, and finally brushed with a layer of oil, and Hae-joo took the tofu and octopus from the basin and spread the iron plate half-full before shoveling the fish into the plate.

The fish was roasted slowly, and as soon as it left the iron plate, it was bought, and Haizhu took four more and spread them, and said to the child who was seriously burning the fire with a small face, "Leave the last two for us to eat." ”

"Sell it for money, I won't eat it." Feng Ping glanced at the table and smiled.

Chapter 53: Not afraid of being robbed of business

Before Haizhu came, he counted the number of fish, a total of seventeen, the number of octopuses is relatively large, there are more than fifty large and small, because the price is not expensive, and it can be served with the plate, the business is very prosperous, and they are all bought when they start the pot.

The people standing in the back queue couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and asked, "Are you coming to set up a stall tomorrow night?" ”

"If you don't come tomorrow, you'll come back the evening the day after tomorrow."

Qi Laosan glanced at Haizhu in some surprise when he heard this, The business at night is more profitable than the business in the morning.

"From now on, we will set up stalls every other day." Haizhu added, "Set up a night stall every day, and rest for a single day."

It's very tiring to set up a stall in the morning and evening, and the time is also tight, I don't have time to do anything else, Haizhu doesn't plan to toss myself so much, setting up a night food stall is a hobby, not just to make money.

Later people looked at the contents of the basin and chose to look for food in the side.

The last piece of tofu was gone, and Haizhu said, "The tofu is gone, and the octopus can still make a plate, and the fish ...... The fish are gone, too. ”
