Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 7 It’s a pity that I can’t make big money

As for Guo Bomo's proposal to go to sea, Chang Pingning wanted to retain him after hearing that it took too long to go to sea. After all, the two got married just a few days ago.

Dong Xiuyuan was almost like this in his previous life. He went to a private school to study on the second day after getting married, and only came back for half a day every ten days for holidays.Chang Pingning was left alone in the Dong family to serve Dong's mother.

"It's been too long for a month, can you find some other work?" Chang Pingning glanced at Guo Bomo, "The four barrels of seafood we went to catch from the sea this morning can be sold for a lot of money. If we don't stay, we will go to the beach more every day." Pick up some seafood?”

"It's 'that family' who is willing to pay." Guo Bomo couldn't bear to part with his newlywed wife, and reached out to hold Chang Pingning.

Although Chang Pingning and Guo's mother went to Liu's house to sell seafood in the morning, Chang Pingning heard that Guo's mother specifically thanked Manager Liu for the high price of collecting seafood, but Chang Pingning still felt that they could make money by traveling to the sea to sell seafood.

"I'll take you to the beach later, and you'll know." Guo Bomo noticed the confusion on Chang Pingning's face, "I'll move the new bed frame into the house first." But right now, he has more important things to do. things to do.

"Second brother, come and help." Guo Bomo called Guo Zhongzhou.

Chang Pingning saw Guo Lingan coming with Guo Zhongzhou.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat sea urchin fried rice tonight?" Guo Lingan smacked his lips after finishing speaking, still thinking about the fried rice at noon.

"There are no sea urchins at home." Chang Pingning touched Guo Ling'an's head.After I finished speaking, I remembered that I didn’t seem to have enough polished rice at home.

In the village, few people cook only rice. Half of the rice is mixed with a large amount of millet, which can save rice and keep the family's labor well fed.

"Sister-in-law, I can take my younger brother and sister to the beach to pick up sea urchins in the afternoon." The third brother Guo Shuyi heard the conversation between Chang Pingning and his younger sister at some point, and appeared beside them holding his younger brother Guo Jiguang.

"Pick up sea urchins! Go to the beach!" Guo Jiguang on the side waved his hand, echoing the words of his third brother, but looked at Chang Pingning expectantly.

Chang Pingning looked at her expectant younger siblings and couldn't bear to reject them, but she was also worried that there wasn't enough polished rice at home.She saw that Guo Bomo and Guo Zhongzhou had finished moving the new bed frame and walked out of the house, looking at Guo Bomo for help.

"The sun is too hot in the afternoon. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the beach when the sun sets." Guo Bomo said, patting the sawdust and dust on his hands. It was obvious that he had misunderstood Chang Pingning's look for help.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to make sea urchin fried rice again tonight?" Guo Zhongzhou also looked forward to it.

Chang Pingning smiled awkwardly at his younger brothers and sisters: "Maybe, I don't know if the rice at home is enough." As he said this, he tugged on the sleeves of Guo Bomo's jacket.

"That's enough. I just went to town to buy rice a few days ago. I'm worried that we won't have enough food on the day we get married." Guo Bomo said with an embarrassed smile.

Chang Pingning was stunned after hearing this. Did the Guo family buy the rice directly from the town?

Since the Chang family and the Dong family both have several acres of land at home, they usually plant some in their own land. When there is a harvest every year, they keep some for their own consumption, and then take it to the rice store in the town to sell it.Most of the rice I eat is old rice from the previous year.

Only after Dong Xiuyuan became the county magistrate, could Chang Pingning have the opportunity to eat the polished rice every year.And the Guo family can actually eat the new rice of that year?

Probably because Chang Pingning looked at Guo Bomo with too much surprise, Chang Pingning was pulled by Guo Bomo to a large cart under the big tree in the yard.There were several buckets on the cart. Chang Pingning came closer and saw that the buckets contained slender sea fish and the water that submerged them.

"Do you sell marine fish at home?" Chang Pingning asked Guo Bomo.At noon, when she and her mother-in-law were waiting for her father-in-law to come back, she saw her father-in-law pushing the car into the yard.

Chang Pingning vaguely remembered what her parents said before she got married, "marry into the Guo family and enjoy happiness." She didn't understand what it meant before, but now she seemed to feel it a little bit.

"Sell, but it's not just sold by our family." It seemed that Guo Bomo wanted to say a few more words.

But Chang Pingning saw Ye Xiuying walking out of the kitchen, walking to the cart and looking at the fish in the bucket. "Are there any left?" Ye Xiuying sighed at the fish in the bucket.

Chang Pingning was listening to the chat between Guo Bomo and Ye Xiuying. Two more fish carts appeared at the port. The people pushing the carts were new faces, and they should be from the next village.

Ye Xiuying shook her head and reminded them that they could go fishing early in the afternoon and take the big seafood to the town to sell for money tomorrow.While talking, he drove the two of them back to rest. Going to the sea to pick up seafood is also physical work.

As the sun was about to sink into the sea, there were many more people on the beach than in the morning.

When Chang Pingning followed Guo Bomo to the beach, she saw several aunts rummaging around where Guo's mother had taken her in the morning.

Chang Pingning followed Guo Bomo to a place with fewer people, but he didn't pick up conchs like he did in the morning. He picked up more clams.Guo Bomo also taught her about razor clams, which are slightly more expensive than clams.

When moving the rocks, Chang Pingning also saw a few crabs. Fortunately, Guo Bomo was strong and caught them all, and no crabs escaped.

After searching for it, Chang Pingning saw that the wooden barrel in front of him already contained a lot of seafood. He planned to pick up a few more sea urchins and go back to make sea urchin fried rice in the evening.

Before leaving, Chang Pingning saw Guo Bomo pull out a big net from the sea, and then remembered that when they first arrived at the beach, Guo Bomo seemed to have thrown something into the sea.Chang Pingning looked at the large number of sea fish picked up by Guo Bomo in surprise, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Guo Bomo didn't pick up sea food much. It turned out that fishing for sea fish was the key point.

After bumping into a bucket full of marine fish and a bucket of seafood, Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo each carried a bucket and walked home.When Chang Pingning passed by the wasteland in the village, he sighed in his heart, no wonder Guojiacun didn't do much farming. It turned out that they relied on the sea to eat, so they didn't need to bother farming at all.

Chang Pingning was thinking when he noticed that more and more people were passing the two of them. Not long after, there was a huge wave sound behind him.Chang Pingning looked back and saw that the rising waves were rolling and submerging the beach. When they receded, they even took some rocks into the sea.

"Have there been floods in Guojiacun before?" Chang Pingning asked, just as she didn't know how to remind the Guo family about the flood five years later.

When Guo Bomo heard Chang Pingning's doubts, he stopped and followed her line of sight to the beach. He then turned to Chang Pingning and smiled: "This is your first time seeing a high tide? Don't worry, the seawater will not reach the village. "

Probably because the look of horror on Chang Pingning's face was too obvious, Guo Bomo continued to explain: "When I was a child, there was a flood that flooded the village. After that, the village moved from the place near the sea to where we live now. Even if there is another flood, it will not come over."

Facing Guo Bomo's explanation, Chang Pingning was silent for a while, then looked up at Guo Bomo: "How about we make other preparations?"

After returning home with two buckets of seafood, Chang Pingning picked up the sea urchins in the buckets and planned to continue making sea urchin fried rice.

Everyone in the Guo family enjoyed the food, especially Guo Zhongzhou, who directly praised Chang Pingning's cooking skills as good as those of the chefs in the town's restaurants.

After hearing Guo Zhongzhou's words, Chang Pingning felt embarrassed and humbled himself.

Ye Xiuying, on the other hand, after listening to her second son's words, reminded Chang Pingning to go to town with her to sell seafood tomorrow morning, and pick up some seafood and sea urchins tomorrow morning to see if she could sell this "sea urchin fried rice" recipe to a restaurant.

Chang Pingning was shocked by Guo's mother's words. Can she still sell recipes with her skills?But looking at Ye Xiuying's decisive look, she could only praise her.

"No wonder there is no shortage of food at home. It turns out that my mother never misses any business opportunity." After a pause, Chang Pingning added, "I'm afraid that my cooking skills are too simple and the chefs in other restaurants will look down on me. "

Chang Pingning really doesn't think that his cooking skills can be sold at a high price.

"I always give it a try when I have the chance." Ye Xiuying waved her hand, "It's not that I always think about doing business, but that we all live by the beach. As long as we are more diligent, we can make money by catching the sea. It's a pity that we can't make big money. "
