Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 86 Leaving the Small Fishing Village

It was the first time for Li Pingan to sleep so close to the sea. He was not used to hearing the sound of the waves at night. He tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.Until around twelve o'clock, a wave of drowsiness struck, and Li Ping took advantage of this drowsiness to fall asleep.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Li Pingan woke up and went out to see that the children in Hu Daudao's family were already eating.Li Pingan said hello to Hu Daudao's daughter-in-law in embarrassment, and then rushed to wash up.

When they came back from the shower, Hu Bold and his family had already eaten, and they left a bowl of seafood noodle porridge with sticks, which is very characteristic of a seaside fishing village.Hu Bold's wife smiled and asked herself to eat. After Li Pingan got to the dinner table, he found that he didn't see Hu Bold when he got up in the morning, so he asked

"Auntie, where is Branch Secretary Hu? Why didn't you see him?"

Hu bold wife said with a smile
"He went out to sea with the people from the commune early in the morning, and they came back around nine o'clock. You hurry up and eat, and you can go to the sea with us after eating."

Li Pingan hurriedly finished his breakfast when he heard what Hu Daudao's wife said.After breakfast, I went back to the house and picked up my camera, wanting to record the situation of catching the sea in 1965.

Li Pingan came to the seaside with the villagers. The sea breeze in the morning was still very cool, and Li Pingan was very comfortable with the smell of the sea. He looked at the sea and sky, the rocky beach, and the magnificent waves.Li Pingan sighed: The scenery here is unique!

Li Pingan picked up the camera, chose a good location to "click" towards the beach and sea, and recorded the beauty of the moment.

It's not a long time to catch the sea, and the members here don't lack this at all, just pick up enough to eat every day.Li Pingan looked at the sky. Today is cloudy and the temperature is not that high.

Li Pingan also went back with the flow, and he didn't feel the excitement of rushing to the sea for the first time.When the living conditions of future generations are better, they will regard catching the sea as a pleasure. Now that the family situation is a little better these days, they will not come to the beach early in the morning to pick up seafood.

Back in the fishing village, Li Pingan secretly took some rice and sugar out of the space, and used the rice and sugar to exchange some dry goods from the fishermen, mainly dried sea cucumber, dried abalone and dried fish.I bought a few sacks in the village and stuffed the back seat of the jeep to the brim before stopping.

At about nine o'clock, the fishing boats came back. They were all small sailboats, and they couldn't run very far. They wandered around the sea, cast a few nets, and came back when they were almost done.

Li Pingan saw that the time was almost up, and it would be too late for lunch, so he quickly asked the fishermen to organize loading.

Since this truck of seafood was to be transported all the way back to Sijiu City, first spread a waterproof cloth inside the truck body to prevent water leakage during transportation.This time I didn't want too many sea cucumbers, mainly abalone, lobster and oysters, and I didn't dare to let the fishermen fill them too full, so I stopped after filling half of them, and then poured sea water into them.

The reason why sea cucumbers cannot be sold is because sea cucumbers will automatically dissolve soon after leaving the sea water, and they will die if the water temperature is too high.Yesterday, Li Pingan explained to the comrades in the iron and steel factory, asking them to help make some big ice cubes, and put the ice cubes in the truck bucket to prevent the sea cucumbers from overheating to death when they go back.

Although the amount packed this time was not half of what it was last night, Li Pingan directly gave Hu Bold 20 yuan and 20 catties of national food stamps.It wasn't his own money that was spent. It is estimated that Li Pingan felt that he had to make a good impression on the working people in Jinmen when he had to deal with Hu Daudao this time in his life.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Pingan drove back after bidding farewell to the fishermen in the fishing village.Not long after the car left the village, Li Pingan put all the dry goods in the warehouse, leaving only one bag and throwing it on the back seat. When he came yesterday, he made a note of the way.This time, it didn't take long, and it took more than an hour's drive to return to Jinmen City.

On the way back, Li Pingan was still a little panicked, for fear of being stopped by the local inspectors in Jinmen for inspection procedures.Fortunately, the journey was unimpeded and there were no inspectors.

When he arrived at the steel factory just in time for dinner, Li Pingan first found the leader of the transportation department to report.

The leader of the transportation department is called Wang Dayong. After seeing Li Ping'an come back, he was also relieved
"You're pretty good at time, kid. You came back just after the meal time. Okay, let's go have a meal first, let's set off immediately after eating."

Wang Dayong had already prepared meals for Li Pingan in advance, and Li Pingan and the driver from the transportation department got together for lunch.The food at the steel factory is pretty good, and it tastes no worse than Sha Zhu's.

Li Pingan and the drivers winked and chatted with each other, and one of the drivers asked Li Pingan

"Brother Ping An, I just went out to look at the things you brought back. Why didn't you get some sea fish or something? I saw that the things in the car were all inedible"

Before Li Pingan could speak, another driver, Li Xingsheng, spoke up.
"You know what a fart, why do you spend so much effort to transport sea fish back in such a hot day? Sea cucumbers and abalones, don't think they are worthless in this place, they are all used to feed chickens. Sea fish are much rarer”

When Li Pingan heard Li Xingsheng's words, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. In this era, he can understand the truth that things are rare and expensive. It's no problem to earn a few houses in Sijiu City.

"Master Li is right. Although sea fish is rare in Forty-Nine City, you can still buy it. But look at the things I brought back, you can't buy them in Forty-Nine City."

These days, people's understanding of seafood is still limited to sea fish, such as scallops and oysters. Many people in coastal cities are reluctant to eat them, thinking that these things are bugs in the sea.Let alone an inland city, let alone eat it, I have never heard of it.

Drivers, don't look at the running around, but I really don't know this kind of thing.They heard that both Li Pingan and Li Xingsheng said so, so they hurried to Li Pingan's side, trying to get some seafood to take back.

How could Li Pingan agree to this? It was originally two hundred catties, and each of these people had to take at least ten catties away.

"It's too late for you to say, this is for the factory to purchase, and the slips have been opened. There are extras that our section chief asked me to bring. You can make some by yourself. I can't pay the job when I go back. Brothers, don't embarrass me. , you drivers can often run outside. Next time you come back, bring some back by yourself.”

Seeing Li Pingan's embarrassment, Wang Dayong also offered to help

"Comrade Ping'an is in the procurement department. This is for the factory to purchase. What's the matter with cutting it among you, besides, didn't you get a lot of sea fish? It's the same when you bring some sea fish back."

When these drivers first heard Li Pingan say this, they felt a little uncomfortable.It's not a valuable thing, so what can I do with less?Hearing that Wang Dayong had spoken, he had no choice but to give up.
