Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 93 Seafood
In just ten days, two sets of equipment in the factory were modified.

The next ones to do the research are the technicians from their own factory. The direction has been given to them, and they can't just let Yang Zhenyu and others do it.

Yang Zhenyu has found several places these days, mainly villages near the sea. He must get some seafood back before leaving.

So, Yang Zhenyu bought some materials from the factory and made a small trailer of more than one cubic meter, which could carry a lot of seafood.

"Did you see that? This is what real ability means. In the future, you should focus on learning more techniques and stop playing poker all day long." Song Guohua watched Yang Zhenyu and his crew leave in their car, and then said to several technicians.

These technicians usually act arrogantly, relying on their skills.

During these ten days or so, they were treated severely.

Compared with the technicians of the Red Star Factory, they are far behind, not to mention that even their engineers did not make any contribution this time.

Several technicians blushed and became angry at Song Guohua's words.

On the other side, the people in Yang Zhenyu's car were very happy.

This is the box that Yang Zhenyu had prepared in advance. Common fish, crabs, shrimps and the like were separated into boxes. There aren't many things in the box, but they are enough for people to enjoy.

It's winter now, and few people would sit at the entrance of the alley.

I had thought of this kind of scene a long time ago, and I didn't take the initiative to show off, but it was really satisfying to get slapped in the face.

"Okay, stop showing off. Our mission this time has been completed, and we still have work to do after we return." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Engineer Yang, you haven't seen the expressions of those people these days. They are so ugly, but they still have to learn from us. Don't you think it's infuriating?" Xin Xiangdong said.

"Wow, brother, that's great. Your whole cart is full of seafood?" He Yuzhu said, looking at the seafood in the small trailer.

"We have fish and shrimp for sale in our old city. Why do you have to come here to buy them and take them back? You have to come all the way here." Yue Shangyong did not understand why.

"You don't understand, right? These are good things. Let's find an experienced chef to prepare them. They will be delicious." Yang Zhenyu said.

As long as you take it back and don't sell it, but eat it yourself, then there is no problem.

"This is fresh. These were picked up by the villagers after the tide receded last night. They were kept in the sea water overnight and are still alive when we take them back. They taste fresh when we eat them when we get home." Yang Zhenyu said.

The seafood here is cheap. There is not much sea water in the trailer at the back, most of it is seafood. It only costs a few dollars, and no ticket is required.

The car arrived at the entrance of the alley after dark so as not to attract too much attention.

"But, Mr. Yang, why do you have so many shells? Can they be eaten?" Xin Xiangdong asked in confusion.

For people of this era, seafood mainly consists of fish and shrimp, and shellfish are almost never eaten.

Yang Zhenyu went back to the compound and called He Yuzhu and the two boys from Yan Bugui's family to help bring the small trailer loaded with seafood back to the compound.

"This box is for you guys to divide up. Xiao Wei, you take this box to the factory director's home and ask him to help distribute it to the factory leaders."

"Of course, our trip can't be in vain, right? Let's get some fresh food from the beach and bring it back for Aunt Xixi and the others to try." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"You have to let me make this. I'm probably the only one in our area who can make this. It's a good opportunity for you to try out my skills." He Yuzhu said.

"That's no problem." Yang Zhenyu naturally had no objection. Although he could cook, he couldn't cook as well as a professional chef. "Hey, that's it, Jiecheng, give us some strength over there. Let's lift the wheel up and get through this threshold. There are two more wheels at the back." He Yuzhu instructed Yan Jiecheng to work harder.

It would be impossible for four people to carry more than a cubic meter of water, plus the weight of the trailer itself.

I had to use the fulcrum and the wheels to get it in.

Yang Zhenyu placed the cart in the ear room. There was no heating in there and it was usually quite cold. There were so many seafoods that they could not be eaten all at once.

"Jie Cheng Jiefang, you two take the two fish back and ask Auntie to prepare them for you to try tomorrow." Yang Zhenyu did not treat the two brothers badly and gave them two fish to take back.

At this time, seafood is fresh for ordinary people, and it is not considered a waste of help, although it is not a big deal.

"I feel so embarrassed. You've helped us so much." Yan Jiecheng said, rubbing his hands.

"Take it. I have a lot left here. Go back and try some." Yang Zhenyu put the fish in a broken basket and stuffed it into Yan Jiecheng's hand.

"This...then I'll take it." Yan Jiecheng said embarrassedly.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest." Yang Zhenyu said indifferently.

"Okay, you should go to bed early too." The Yan brothers carried their things and left.

"Brother Zhuzi, you see I have a lot of shellfish here, can you handle them?" Yang Zhenyu said while pulling He Yuzhui.

“No problem. Although I didn’t have many opportunities to make this before, it’s still no problem to cook some dishes with it.” He Yuzhu said as he shone the flashlight into the water in the trailer.

"Okay, I'll buy some other vegetables tomorrow and we'll have a meal," said Yang Zhenyu.

"That's perfect. Tomorrow I'm taking a day off to collect rain water. I'll buy it on the way then, so you don't have to worry about it. I estimate that these seafoods of yours will take a while to eat. If not, just freeze them. The Chinese New Year is only a month away. If they are frozen solid, they will definitely not go bad by the time of the New Year." He Yuzhu said.

"That's fine. Tomorrow I'll get an iron pipe and make some ice to freeze these seafood."

Refrigerators were not yet popular in those days, so ordinary families could only make ice by taking advantage of the low temperature. They would put buckets and the like outside at night, and a layer of water would freeze overnight, which would be ice when taken out.

Another way is to get ice from the river. The ice in the river is relatively thick, so you can take a saw or other tool to the river to saw the ice into the desired shape, then take it home and put it in a shady place, where you can also store some things.

"Okay, I'll collect the rainwater tomorrow and then go with you. We'll push a cart and we can bring back a lot in two trips." He Yuzhu said.

"That's great. The two of us can get more and freeze the seafood overnight. We can just take it out and eat it when we want to." Yang Zhenyu certainly wouldn't be polite.

"I guess the old man will find a way to make ice tomorrow. Okay, I'll go back and have a rest. It's really cold today. It might snow heavily in the next two days." He Yuzhu said.

Yang Zhenyu thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible.

This uncle values ​​the couple very much, so it is inevitable that he helps to process the seafood.

After locking the door, Yang Zhenyu returned home.

At this time, Zhou Qianqian had actually already laid down. When she heard the noise outside, she got up and put on her clothes.
