Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 688 Killing Fish

Now people in Jiachuan don’t have to kill chickens, and the Zhangjiagou market has a killing business.

In addition to killing chickens, there is also fish killing, such as tearing yellow peppers, which is a relatively professional job, as well as killing soft-shelled turtles, and you have to find someone to do it for you, and Mr. Hu is doing this.

When Zhou Zhi and Yang He came over, Mr. Hu had just finished the first wave, and found time to ask for a bowl of small noodles, which was sucking. When he saw Zhou Zhi coming, he greeted: "The elbow is back? Old Zhang's small noodles outside, here you are." Order one?"

"Hurry up and eat, I've already eaten." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for some time, Mr. San, business is good, isn't it?"

"It's okay, but I'm a little busy. Now is the time when the river fish is in the market, and there are eels and loaches. I have to run around at three o'clock every night to collect the goods."

Next to the third master was still a kimchi stall, but now it was replaced by a middle-aged man whom Zhou Zhi didn't know.

The man's ears don't seem to be very good. When the third master introduced it to others, he said loudly: "This is Xiao Juan'er and his uncle, Zhou Zhi!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhou Zhi: "This is my family in the countryside. Miss Xiaojuan'er wants to sell this stall when her business grows big. I thought this was just right, so I called my relatives here so that I could earn some income. "

That is a simple farmer, who doesn't talk much, and nods and smiles at Zhou Zhi honestly.

Zhou Zhi also nodded at him, this doesn't look like a business person, probably the stall is also supported by the third master.

Because of this, Zhou Zhigao took a look at the third master, and said with a smile: "There is something we can't handle, so I can only ask the third master to come."

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhi opened the fertilizer pocket: "I caught two good ones."

"Hey, this thing is very expensive now, where did you get it?"

"Across the river."

"Are you going to sell the elbow or kill it?"

"Huh? If you want to sell it, do you know how?" Zhou Zhi asked.

This old turtle can be sold for almost 500 yuan, which of course doesn’t even count as a drizzle for Zhou Zhi, but for Yang He, 500 yuan is enough for next year’s tuition and miscellaneous expenses.

These two turtles were caught by Yang Hexiabai, although Yang He would be happy to send them to the reading salon to make up for everyone, but Zhou Zhi couldn't do that.

"Yes, the barge is waiting for harvest at the river seafood restaurant." Mr. Hu said to these people: "If you want to sell the elbow, it will be 85 a catty, and I will sell it to you."

"Then why don't we keep the stewed chicken for the small ones and sell the big ones?" Zhou Zhi asked Yang He.

"It's up to you, I can't do it anyway." Yang He was thinking about another problem.

"Hahaha, then sell the big ones, and help us kill the small ones."

"Then let's say it first, this turtle will be used as a small pot lid." At this time, even people around came to watch and commented, saying that such a big turtle would grow at least ten years.

In the end, it was five catties and eight taels, 490 and three yuan, and Zhou Zhi only asked Mr. Hu to give it four hundred and ninety.

Calling Xiangdang loudly to go to the barge under the North Gate Wharf to ask the boss to get the turtle, the third master quickly caught another small turtle that weighed more than a catty.

The little turtle turned its head to bite him, but the third master quickly pinched his neck, and then cut the blood vessels and trachea at the junction of the neck and body, ending it.

Immediately afterwards, he used a blade to cut into the turtle's body from the top of the tail, and cut it along the carapace. When it reached the front paws, he taught Zhou Zhi: "It's a hard bone here, so move the knife upwards and find the gap between the cartilage. In this way, the two ends are cut off, and the carapace is opened."

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "You deserve this skill. Even if you taught me, I wouldn't dare to scratch its neck. It's too fast."

The third master cleaned the turtle's belly, threw the turtle back into Yang He's fertilizer pocket, and grabbed some spices from a kimchi stall: "I'll give you some Codonopsis ginseng and red dates, and goji berries can be boiled for a few minutes. You can put them in the pot before cooking." .”

"You take this soft-shelled turtle back and soak it in hot water. The temperature can't be boiled. It's fine at eighty or ninety degrees. Try to scrape it with a knife while scalding it. When the skin can be scraped off, take it out quickly, because it won't be easy to scrape if you scald the skin again. .”

"The rest is simple, just like cooking black chicken soup."

"I'll kill the black-bone chicken when I go home." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "I won't give you the money to kill the soft-shelled turtle."

As he spoke, he held up the small seasoning packet: "Third Master, thank you!"

"Why are you being polite to me?!" Mr. Hu waved his hand: "You saved my old waist, and I can still charge you this little money!"

"Then let's go..."

"Elbow, wait a moment." The third master suddenly remembered something: "Do you know the owner of the tricycle, Sun Ermao?"

"Very familiar. We met yesterday. Third master, do you need to find him?"

"It's great if you know each other!" Mr. Hu said happily, "It's like this, elbow, you see, I collect fish except for the North Gate, or go to Caiba, or Ma Street, it's really inconvenient to go out, I heard Sun Ermao wants to change cars..."

"Are you still planning to take over his broken car?" Zhou Zhi was speechless. Those broken cars were eliminated by the post office after running around towns and villages, and then they were rebuilt by Sun Ermao and continued to be destroyed. Zhou Zhi didn't dare to think about the condition of the car.

"Elbow help me and ask." Mr. Hu said eagerly: "The key is cheap."

"I can ask him to pick a better one for you." Zhou Zhi said, "But let me remind you, those are modified cars, and the county may ban them from being on the road that day."

"Isn't there still a countryside after the ban in the county?!" Mr. Hu said, "If it's not possible, what else can we do with the engine!"

"For example, what should I do if my fish stall encounters a power outage? It would be good to have a backup pump then."

Now that we have just got rid of the days of "new three years, old three years, sewing and mending another three years", there are quite a few people who are as meticulous as the third master.

"Hahaha the third master has you..." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Then wait for my news!"

Back at the sugar and wine company's dormitory, the friends had already arrived one after another, but Jiang Shuyi and Liang Hong were the first to arrive.

"Oh, sister Hong, why is it dark again?!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help joking when he saw Liang Hong: "Today I'm having black-bone chicken stewed turtle, why don't you sit alone at the table so that everyone won't catch you with their chopsticks?"

"Look for a fight!" Liang Hong would be angry when others said that, but Zhou Zhi and her were used to making fun of her. Liang Hong always used force to deal with this kind of situation, and she didn't shy away from the difference between men and women. On the buttocks: "My skin itch after not seeing each other for a month!"

This kick actually made Zhou Zhi smile: "Oh, sister Hong, you're getting stronger again."

"Liang Hong is practicing basketball hard this month." Jiang Shuyi said.

It seems that the friends still maintain the habit of morning exercises during the summer vacation, and they should meet in the square every morning to know each other's situation.

"The boys can't beat you and you still practice?" Zhou Zhi said, "You are here today, so you can make up for it."

Yang He was alone on the opposite side of the river. He couldn't do many questions in the A paper, and his desire to study was already imminent. Zhou Zhi had to ask Jiang Shuyi to teach him English first, and then went to the roof to pass the ducks and geese to kill the chickens.

Liang Hong thought it was interesting, so she wanted to watch it.
