fisherman legend

Chapter 55 The taste of home
Both Zhuang Haiyang and Li Zifei grew up in a seaside fishing village.Picking mussels and prying oysters are very skilled. When they arrived at the place where large pieces of mussels and oysters grew, the two began to get busy.

Prying oysters is undoubtedly more labor-intensive than picking mussels.Concubine Li is in charge of the former, while Zhuang Haiyang is in charge of the latter.Carrying a small bucket and tools each, they began to search for good products suitable for drying in the desert island and rocks.

When the bucket is full, pour it into the bag you brought.Even though mussels, conch, and oysters are very common on this beach, it takes a lot of energy to repeat the same work for a long time and stand in the sun.

Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang often does this job, and when he came out, he specially prepared cold boiled water with salt, and when he was tired, he took a sip and immediately felt refreshed.Seeing that a lot of oysters had been pried out, Zhuang Haiyang began to help Concubine Li pick up mussels.

Asked from time to time: "How is it? Are you tired?"

"It's okay! Although I haven't done this job for a while, I still find it very interesting. There are really a lot of shellfish here!"

"Well! It's too far from the inland, and there are few people coming here, so there are a lot of mussels and oysters growing here. By the way, do you like conch? Or, you can pick some back and let's cook it for lunch? "

"Then don't you pick up the mussels?"

"I'll do it! Anyway, you have picked up a lot, which should be enough to make a few dried products. You also know that if the dried mussels here are sold in the market, the quality will definitely be higher than ordinary ones. Shellfish are more expensive."

"That's true! If people saw such a large piece of mussels in our village, they might be picked up overnight!"

From Concubine Li's point of view, the mussels growing on this beach are not small in size.Most of the mussels she picked up before were the big ones.The bigger the mussels, the bigger the mussel meat that is picked out, and the dried scallops that are dried.

The regions are different, but many marine species produced are similar.Li Zifei, who did not reject Zhuang Haiyang's proposal, also happily carried the bucket and began to pick up the edible conch she saw earlier, planning to bring it back for lunch.

Even though Concubine Li has eaten a lot of these conch shells, since she and the fisherman are not going out to sea, the seafood they can usually eat is not much.It is a rare opportunity, Li Zifei also wants to taste the taste of the ocean in her memory.

Don't look at the edible conch that lives on this beach, it seems that you can pick it up just by bending over.But Li Zifei knew that if these conch shells were picked up and transported back to the inland, the price of a plate would not be cheap for diners to eat in seafood restaurants.

Seeing Concubine Li who was concentrating on picking snails, looking at several large bags of mussels and oysters, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Concubine Li, you pick snails here first, and I will carry these bags back to the boat first. Don't go into the sea, you know?"

"Oh, I see!"

Although Concubine Li also thought about helping, a bag of mussels and oysters weighed a lot.Even if she was willing, Zhuang Haiyang would not allow it.Now that you know the result, why bother?

Carrying bags weighing hundreds of catties each, Zhuang Haiyang walked quickly to the place where the fishing boat was moored.Toss it onto the fishing boat and return to carry another bag.This kind of work is already commonplace for Zhuang Haiyang.

After all the bags he had brought were filled and loaded onto the boat, Zhuang Haiyang returned and accompanied the enthusiastic Concubine Li to pick up some conch shells of better quality.Even if you can't finish a meal, you can keep it in your own water tank for backup.

Looking at Concubine Li who was sweating profusely, Zhuang Haiyang, who had picked up a bucket full, also smiled and said, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired! It's so interesting!"

"That's good! It's not too early, we are going to go back. Let's come again when we have time next time!"

"Ok!"

Concubine Li, who was very obedient, followed Zhuang Haiyang to the place where the boat was parked, carrying the same full bucket.At this time, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "You are responsible for carrying the bucket, and I will carry you there!"

"it is good!"

Li Zifei, who did not hesitate, readily agreed.Feeling being embraced by Zhuang Haiyang again, Concubine Li also felt very at ease.Even at this moment, Zhuang Haiyang's breath was heavier than before.

After getting on the boat safely, Zhuang Haiyang climbed over the side of the boat and turned over.After telling Concubine Li to sit down, the fishing boat started to return.At this time, Concubine Li also observed the fish kept in the water tank, and it seemed that there were not many dead fish in it.

Use the scooping net to pick out the belly fish, and the fishing boat soon arrived at the fishing boat wharf on Nanshan Island.When disembarking, Zhuang Haiyang handed over two barrels of conch to Concubine Li, and he was responsible for carrying the mussels and oysters home.

Knowing this kind of work, she really can't help much, Li Zifei quickly asked her to cook lunch.In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang did not refuse.Concubine Li also felt very happy to find something to do, and started to get busy when she got home.

And Zhuang Haiyang has to go back and forth with the fishing boat and the old house, carrying back home the bags of oysters and mussels he picked up.Fortunately, this kind of heavy-duty work is really nothing to Zhuang Haiyang at this time, but it is also a kind of exercise.

After carrying everything back, seeing Concubine Li who was busy in the kitchen, and Zhuang Haiyang who went upstairs to take a bath and change clothes, he also felt that there was a woman in the family, and the feeling was really different.Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang was also slightly taken aback.

Immediately said: "This girl, I'm afraid she is tempted by me?"

Realizing this, Zhuang Haiyang quickly said again: "Don't even think about it! It would be too embarrassing if you are passionate. Isn't it good to be like this now? Just let it happen!"

Even if there were some guesses in his mind, Zhuang Haiyang still didn't want to reveal these embarrassing words for each other.What would Concubine Li think if his thoughts went wrong?He promised to be his righteous sister, but he wanted to sleep with her!

After going downstairs, seeing Concubine Li who had already cooked, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "It's pretty fast!"

"It's okay! Four dishes and one soup, is it enough?"

"Enough! If it's not enough, let's eat a little more at night. Do you want some wine? I'm used to taking a lunch break at noon, and you can go back to your room to rest after eating. Look at you, you probably didn't sleep well last night, yes Bar?"

"It's okay! It's just right, I'm not used to it."

"Take your time! After staying for a long time, you will get used to it. I am not a full-time fisherman, and I have the final say on my work. After the lunch break, we will go out to sea for crab pots. We will go out to sea again tomorrow morning small town."

"it is good!"

He picked up two bottles of beer from the refrigerator and poured a glass for Concubine Li. Zhuang Haiyang continued, "I'll go to town tomorrow and I'll buy you something. Life on the island is a bit boring, but fortunately, the network signal here is not bad.

At that time, I will buy you a mobile phone. The mobile phone you are using now has been used for many years, right?In the future, don't wrong yourself too much, you are in your youth, and you should enjoy the exquisite life like girls of the same age.Understand? "

"it is good!"

Concubine Li did not refuse Zhuang Haiyang's arrangement.In fact, the so-called smart phone she is using now is also a second-hand product that others have eliminated.On the island, the signal is not very good.

It is indeed necessary to change to a mobile phone that can surf the Internet at any time.Concubine Li, who has lost her relatives and home, but has an extra [-] in deposits, knows that she won't have to worry about money in a while.

It's just that Concubine Li thinks that the subsidy given by the town.If it's not necessary, she doesn't want to use it easily.Accepting Zhuang Haiyang's gift, although a little embarrassed.But Concubine Li still felt that she couldn't refuse.

In addition to the decision made at the beginning, Concubine Li also felt that she owed Zhuang Haiyang a lot, and she didn't care about having this phone.If it really doesn't work, if it's Zhuang Haiyang's betrothal gift in advance, then you won't feel embarrassed!
