Chapter 18 On the day he picked up more than 60 kilograms of hairtail, Mu Chenze did not go to sea.
Tonight's prawns were only discovered at his prompt.
Could it be that it was not God's favor, but Mu Chenze quietly gifted it? Ask him face to face tomorrow.
Chu Xuan got up at six o'clock the next morning. He would not go to the sea during the day, but would wait for the construction team at home.
The structure of the new house and the height of the courtyard wall need to be discussed, and the toilet and kitchen are also planned to be rebuilt.
In fact, it is more convenient to have a well at home, but it is too close to the sea to get fresh water, so we need to fetch water from the stream at the other end of the village.
The stream is spring water from the mountain, and the water quality is clear and sweet.
The water tank at home had bottomed out, so Chu Xuan went out with the bucket.
When I got to the creek, I happened to meet Mu Chenze who also came to fetch water.
Take the initiative to say hello, "Didn't you go to sea today?"
"Yes."
Mu Chenze put down the carrying pole and took the empty bucket to get water.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Xuan asked, "Did you put the prawns there in advance yesterday?"
Mu Chenze looked at the big fool, and replied indifferently, "How free am I to go to the beach to put prawns in advance for you? Don't put gold on your face, just pretend to be sentimental!"
Filled up two buckets of water and left without looking back.
Chu Xuan touched his nose in embarrassment, and asked recklessly today.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chenze dared to breathe a sigh of relief after walking more than ten meters.
It seems that this kind of stupid thing can no longer be done in the future.
It's just that the water tank has to pick a few times to fill it up.
On the second and third trips, they met Chu Xuan again.
Chu Xuan didn't take the initiative to talk to him.
Until the fourth time, after Mu Chenze filled the bucket, he took the initiative to talk to Chu Xuan, with a smile on his face, "I heard that your house is building a new house today, and the construction team will contract labor and materials?"
"Yes."
"If you need help, just call me."
"No need. In case the villagers misunderstand. Mu Chenze, I'm actually curious. Why don't you hate me, but help me instead?"
Mu Chenze no longer concealed anything, "Because I passed by the Chu family's old house that day and overheard the conversation between you and Feng Chunhua, and I realized that it was Feng Chunhua who forced you to plot against me and my family. After marriage, I subsidized her hundreds of yuan a month. The money will also be increased, she really dares to ask for it! I am very grateful to you for not marrying me. So if you need me in the future, just ask me."
It's easy to finish talking.
Chu Xuan didn't expect that he would find out the truth, "Just don't blame me. I'm the one who's sorry for you. I've been feeling guilty all this time!"
"What is there to feel guilty about? That was not your intention. From now on, I, Mu Chenze, will treat you as a friend and buddy. Let's go!"
Mu Chenze carried water and left.
Chu Xuan muttered in a low voice, "It's good to be a buddy!"
Since the prawns were not secretly given by Mu Chenze, then she will not be polite.
When Chu Xuan returned home, he made boiled prawns and enjoyed it with Xiao Feng.
When Mu Chenze returned home, seeing Qin Mahua hesitated to speak, he couldn't help laughing, "Mother, just ask whatever you want."
Qin Mahua made a gesture of counting money, "You didn't go to sea today, did you go to collect fish and sell fish again? I think your pillow is under your head, and you have no money."
Mu Chenze laughed heartily and took out a wad of money from his pocket, "Here it is! More than 400 yuan."
Qin Mahua happily took it and asked while counting, "Are you still bringing in fish this time?"
"No. It's abalone. I left a few in our kitchen. I've had breakfast. I'm going back to my room to catch up on sleep. Don't disturb me."
Mu Chenze walked into the bedroom.
After a while, I heard Qin Mahua's surprised voice, "My mother, how many are these? It's obviously a bunch of abalones! Just keep them for money, isn't it a waste to eat too much?"
Fortunately, he didn't enter the house to disturb Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze would not tell anyone that the pile of abalones actually wanted to secretly subsidize Chu Xuan, which had aroused Chu Xuan's suspicion, so he could not do that again.
Otherwise, after revealing his secrets, Chu Xuan would definitely convert the hairtail and prawns into money and give him money.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the construction team stationed at Chu Xuan's house. There were ten people in total, and the leader was a man named Lin Lou.
Today, we will demolish the house and draw the line to dig the foundation.
The two rooms and the courtyard wall that collapsed before were demolished, and they were all broken soil and rotten wood.
Lin Lou suggested to Chu Xuan that after the new house was built and moved in, he would demolish the remaining two rooms and build a new one.
Chu Xuan thought so too, but he didn't have that much money at the moment.
At the very least, I need to earn more than 1000 before I can build another one.
At around [-] o'clock in the morning, Gao Meijuan and her daughter came over to help.
Gao Meijuan's daughter, Wang Shasha, is the same age as Chu Feng this year, but taller by a head.
This made Chu Xuan more aware of the need to nourish his little brother.
At noon, I made stir-fried clams, stewed cabbage vermicelli with pork belly and prawns, steamed mixed noodles steamed buns, and boiled mung bean soup.
Zamian Mantou is made of cornmeal and white flour, which tastes sweet.
Served with delicious dishes, the construction workers ate happily and satisfactorily, and worked harder in the afternoon.
When work started, the foundation had already been dug and laid with stones, red bricks, concrete, etc.
There aren't many materials left for building a house that we brought here today, and we need to bring more tomorrow.
I didn't pull it all at once, because there is no courtyard wall here, so it is easy to be thieves.
Hearing that Qiu Daguang had been arrested, he took it upon himself, and Qi Hong retreated completely.
At around [-] o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan came to the beach with the fishing tools.
Although she was very tired today, she still couldn't stop her enthusiasm for catching the sea.
Rely on the sea to eat the sea.
She wants to pick up more seafood and make more money.
After eating, Mu Chenze was walking on the beach to eat. Even if the light was not good, he still saw Chu Xuan at a glance.
The main reason is that her figure is huge enough.
This time he didn't bother her.
Holding the flashlight, Chu Xuan followed the ebbing sea water.
I saw a three or four catty sea bass.
Put down the bucket, grab it directly, and put it into the bucket easily.
Continue to walk forward and pick up a fifteen centimeter long sea cucumber.
Also saw a school of bluefin fish stranded.
The meringue is small and has a lot of thorns, but it is delicious when deep-fried! After a while, half a bucket was picked up.
Walking forward again, I saw a dozen sea urchins.
The thorns all over his body are moving, and they are all alive.
I had good luck today and used a clamp to put it in the bucket.
Sea urchin is delicious, but Chu Xuan is reluctant to eat it and plans to sell it at the dock soon.
The purchase price of sea urchins varies, depending on the quality.
After picking up the sea urchins, Chu Xuan found another sea bass and grabbed it and put it into the barrel.
Walking forward again, I picked up two sea cucumbers that were [-] or [-] centimeters long. They were chubby and weighed half a catty each.
Chu Xuan put it away when he saw it was ready, and walked back with the bucket.
Whenever they met villagers rushing to the sea, they would shine their flashlights on Chu Xuan's bucket.
Everyone thought that she had a good shipment recently, and they all wondered what good goods she picked up.
When they arrived at the pier, Chu Xuan went straight to Li Tong's stall, "I don't sell the blue scale fish, I'll sell the rest to you."
"Okay."
Li Tongma quickly weighed them separately.
Two perch, seven catties and four taels, and sea urchins, three catties and seven taels.
When it was his turn to weigh the sea cucumbers, Chu Xuan stretched out his hand to stop them, "We're so familiar with each other, the sea cucumbers will be priced directly."
I thought to myself, the quality of the three sea cucumbers is very good, the rare is the most expensive, and I will never sell it if it is less than 80 yuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong looked embarrassed, "The last time the price was because a customer asked for it urgently. We have to weigh it today. The quality is good. Let's pay [-] catties. These three are more than one catty. If you don't agree , you can take it to a hotel in the county and sell it yourself, maybe you can sell it for a good price."
