Chapter 240 Let’s Go Out to Sea
Ye Jianguo wielded the knife with great vigor when he was dividing the pork.
He deliberately left the side with more meat, and when he saw Fu Wan coming over with the washed chestnuts, he pointed them out to her with great pride.
"You can take all of this half away tomorrow!"
This half?! Fu Wan was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
What does half a wild boar mean? This wild boar weighs more than 200 kilograms, and this half weighs at least 100 kilograms of pork.
How long will it take to eat this after I get it back?
They didn't have a refrigerator at home at the moment, so if they took it back, they wouldn't be able to hang it up in the well.
Fu Wan repeatedly waved her hands to refuse. Fu Ming was cleaning the internal organs of the wild boar nearby. He was amused to see his sister arguing with her uncle.
"Uncle, why don't you just leave a leg and a few ribs. The family really can't eat more."
The current weather is not suitable for making bacon. Seeing that Fu Wan and Fu Ming did not seem to be refusing out of politeness, Ye Jianguo followed their advice and saved a big and fat pig's hind leg and a few beautiful ribs.
The dinner was naturally very sumptuous. Li Chunhua was generous enough to stew a rabbit with chestnuts, and went to the backyard to pick a lot of peppers to make stir-fried rabbit. There was also braised wild boar meat and stir-fried pork liver. A fish caught at noon was also stewed. Even the three little girls, Ye Xiaofeng, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, had a full bowl of mixed grain rice.
Ye Xiaofeng was going back to her own home to sleep at night. Ever since Ye Jun and Liang Cuifen had a falling out with their family, they rented an empty old house in the village and moved out less than a week ago.
When Ye Xiaofeng returned home, Ye Jun was cooking in the kitchen. The food here was incomparable to that at Ye Jianguo's home.
Liang Cuifen sat at the door, holding her big belly, and curled her lips when she saw Ye Xiaofeng come in.
"Did your grandparents have a good meal today?"
"Don't you know how to bring me a bowl of meat? I'm still pregnant with your brother."
Ye Xiaofeng wiped her mouth and said, "Mom, if you want to eat meat, why don't you go to grandpa and grandma's house to help? I've already helped grandpa and grandma wash the vegetables."
"My cousin said that labor is the most glorious thing. Only through labor can we have food to eat!"
Liang Cuifen, who had been doing farm work since she became pregnant, felt that she was being implied and became extremely angry.
"You little loser, you actually dare to lecture your mother!"
As she said that, she was about to go find something to hit Ye Xiaofeng. Ye Xiaofeng was not stupid, so she would not stand there and let her hit her. She ran into the kitchen.
Ye Jun was busy in the kitchen. He was not good at cooking and it took him a long time to cook a bowl of dumpling soup.
"Okay, stop fighting and get ready to eat!"
Liang Cuifen was a little unhappy when she saw the bowl of dumpling soup without any meat flavor.
"Why is it dumpling soup again? I've already had dumpling soup for several meals."
She turned her eyes and ordered Ye Jun, "Boss, why don't you go to the old house and get some pork back."
She saw that Fu Wan and the others caught a lot of fish today, and she heard that there was also a whole wild boar. She thought that just taking some of it would be enough for her to have a full meal.
"I'm not going. I'll just eat this dumpling soup. After you finish, give me the money from home. I want to use it to buy some chicks to raise."
Liang Cuifen was furious, "You're not going!"
"Don't even think about taking the money. I want to keep it for my baby's milk powder!"
"You have to take it whether you want it or not. I can't ask my parents for it again."
Seeing that his parents were arguing again, Ye Xiaofeng ran back into the house in fear.
Adults are so scary. She should just go to bed and stay at her grandparents' house so she doesn't have to come back.
……
The next morning, just after Ye Jianguo had finished breakfast, Fu San came to pick him up on a tricycle.
Ye Jianguo pulled him over enthusiastically, and Fu San was shocked by his enthusiasm.
But he soon understood why Ye Jianguo was so enthusiastic.
"Brother, this turtle looks pretty good!"
Even though he is a seafood collector, he knows the value of this turtle.
Ye Jianguo took out a bag from his arms, which contained cigarettes given to him by others but which he was reluctant to smoke.
He took one out and handed it to Fu San. Fu San took it and put it on his ear without any disgust.
"San, look at this turtle. How much can I sell it for?"
The products in Qingshan Village couldn't be sold for much money, so Ye Jianguo wanted to ask Fu San for help.
Fu San scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. I have to go to the county and ask."
Just at this time, Fu Wan and Fu Ming were carrying the chestnuts given by Li Chunhua into the car, and she heard the two of them muttering about this.
"Hey, uncle, if you want to take this turtle to the county town to sell it, just give it to my uncle. Then, apart from the profit that my uncle should make, Brother A-Ling can bring back the rest."
Ye Jianguo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay me, Brother Lin. You caught the turtle, and I wanted to exchange it for money."
Fu Wan then realized that Ye Jianguo could distinguish things so clearly. "No, I'm just catching some turtles for fun. I'll just sell them to help Brother A-Ling build his house. He can help us move a few more boxes of fish later."
Originally, Ye Lin needed money at this moment, so there was no need for her to make such a clear distinction.
Ye Lin wanted to refuse, but seeing his wife's happy face, he couldn't say it.
I just thought that this time when I go back, I must do my job well and move more fish.
The turtle was arranged in this way. Ye Jianguo also filled a large enamel jar with the honey he had cut yesterday and asked Fu Wan to take it with her. She did not refuse it, because honey soaked in water is a good thing.
Fu San waited until they had moved all the things before starting the car and driving to Fujia Village with Fu Wan, Fu Ming, and their two children.
As for Ye Lin, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away, it is better to let him come after the festival.
It was almost noon when Fu Wan returned home. Ye Xiaocui had been sitting outside the courtyard gate, mending her fishing nets and waiting for them to come back. When she saw them, she hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Why are you back so late? Oh, why did you pack so many things?"
"We got all this when we went up the mountain yesterday. I'll tell you later. Mom, where's my dad?"
"Your father went to the beach to fish!"
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu went to the next door to find their friends as soon as they got off the car. Fu San helped Fu Wan and Fu Ming unload their things and were about to leave.
"Uncle San, take some of these wild boar ribs back and stew them for my aunt. Also take these chestnuts, they're all wild in the mountains."
Fu San saw that they were all good things, so he didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll tell you when I find a buyer for this turtle."
As soon as Fu San left, Fu Lao Da came back humming a song, carrying a fishing rod.
"Hey, Lao Fu, did you catch a big fish?"
Boss Fu was taken aback by someone calling him that, and when he looked back it turned out to be his own daughter.
"What are you yelling about? Look, I caught a grouper weighing over a pound. I'll have your mother steam it for lunch."
Ye Xiaocui didn't know that Boss Fu had increased her workload. She just took out a pig leg weighing at least 20 to 30 kilograms from the snakeskin bag.
"My goodness, are you guys going to hunt wild boars?"
Fu Wan nodded. These past two days in Qingshan Village were very exciting, but it was not her home ground.
Her home is in the sea!
"Mom and Dad, Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow. Why don't we go out to the sea and play on the island tomorrow!"
