"Where is my suitcase?"
"I just brought it back first. I haven't opened it yet. I'll open it again when I have my hands free. Are there any dirty clothes that I want to wash? I've only been out for a day, so the clothes inside should be clean, right? I still brought the goods back to sell.
There should be no cargo list in the box, right?" Lin Xiuqing thought he was looking for the cargo list and wanted to give it to her.
"There is a manifest. When the ship sailed out, I went to town to add oil and ice. It is in the zipper of the compartment. Because it rained, my clothes were all dirty and wet. They all need to be washed. But first, you
Take out the camera from the compartment inside and give it to me first."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Having said so much, are you looking for a camera? Didn't you take any pictures when you first fished it out?"
"Hey, if you don't mind, I'll bring the camera to the boat?"
"You thought I didn't know you brought it on the boat. I have to take a look at this valuable thing every few days. I didn't find it. I didn't know you brought it secretly on the boat? I'm just too lazy to talk to you. I'm too lazy to tell you.
Calculate."
"Hey, go get it quickly, take a picture for me, and then you can kill it. I'll let you taste the taste of the tribulation fish tonight."
Fortunately, she didn't ask about the price. She would cook the rice after he finished taking the photo, hehehe~hehehe~
When Lin Xiuqing entered the room and turned around to look around, the old lady took two steps, stretched her neck and looked at the door, then turned her head and whispered to him.
"This fish should cost more than a few dozen yuan, right? Isinglass is already worth a lot of money. In the past ten or twenty years, the fish maw alone could be sold for dozens of dollars, and the good ones can cost hundreds of dollars. If you don't tell her, you'll get it later."
Being scolded.”
"Ah, you know a lot, don't you?"
The old lady grinned, "Of course, for such a big fish, the isinglass must be very thick. Not all fish maws from big fish are good, but the one from this hairy fish is very good and will be valuable."
"Then you don't say I'm wasting things? Why are you using it to eat when it's so expensive?"
"You work so hard, so you deserve to eat something good. How can it be a waste? No one can hurt yourself if you suffer. You just have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, what will you do if your body collapses from exhaustion? It was much more when you were young.
Eat some good food and take more nourishment for your body, so that you won’t get sick when you get old, and your body will be healthy...Shhh..."
When the old lady saw the movement coming from inside the house, she immediately fell silent and waited for Lin Xiuqing to come out.
Ye Yaodong smiled.
As soon as Lin Xiuqing came out, she glanced at the old lady and glanced at her, then quickly put it away and looked at his two nanny and grandson suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Feel like something is wrong?
The old lady waved her hands quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. I just said that it's hard to kill such a big fish. You have to be careful when you kill it. I'll help you sharpen the knife."
After saying that, she pretended that nothing happened and went to get the kitchen knife. Then she did not raise her head to look at Ah Qing, but went to the door to sharpen the knife. No matter how she looked at her back, she felt guilty.
Ye Yaodong also smiled and stepped forward to take the camera from Lin Xiuqing's hand, "After I take a photo of the fish, you can take a group photo for me."
"Okay, what's the point of photographing these fish all day long?"
"You don't understand..."
"Yes, yes, I don't understand, I don't understand, I won't ask, you can shoot if you want, it's up to you."
I estimate that the film inside will only be enough to take three or four pictures. If Lin comes back from the market in two days, I can see if he has any at home and take two rolls to save me from having to go to town.
He consumes it very quickly, which is really a waste of money. No wonder they say that the richer people are, the more they spend money. After eating, the extra needs become bigger.
This big fish seemed to be 1.67 to 1.78 meters long, but it was probably not as tall as him. After being carried home, it was placed directly on the stove. However, the stove was in a small place and could only be used on the stove top.
Half of it is on the stove, and most of the lower body is almost hanging to the ground.
"These brats, don't you have any place to put the fish? They just threw it on the stove."
"Maybe I was in a hurry. I brought it in, put it there for a while and then ran out of the dock. Where are you going to put the fish to take pictures now?"
"Go outside the door, the light outside is better."
Ye Yaodong put the camera on the table for the time being, and then he and Ah Qing each raised their heads and the other raised their tails. The two of them struggled to move the fish outside bit by bit.
"Fish~fish~" Pei Yu stood up happily and clapped her hands when she saw such a big fish.
Ye Xiaoxi squatted on the ground and took a glance. She was not interested at all and continued to bury her palm-sized doll in the soil.
When the two of them first brought the fish into the house, they ran in excitedly, touched it for a while, and played with it for a while before coming out, so now she was a little uninterested.
The old lady saw them carrying the fish out and looking around. There was nothing on the ground to cushion it. Such a big fish couldn't just be thrown to the ground.
"Wait a minute and I'll get something to put it on so that the fish doesn't get dirty."
She looked at the corner next to her, quickly took two snakeskin bags, and placed them side by side on the ground to cushion them.
"Put it here."
The couple carefully lowered the fish to the ground slowly, and Lin Xiuqing waved her arms.
"This fish is heavy enough. It weighs more than 100 kilograms. My arms are numb from the pressure."
"At 152 pounds, it's heavier than me, and it's almost as tall as me." After Ye Yaodong said that, he quickly ran into the house to get his camera.
"Then how can you carry it alone to take pictures later? At least two people need to help carry it."
He walked out and fiddled with the camera and said, "I'll just ask someone to lift it later, or wait until my father comes back."
"Where's Dad? Why didn't I come back with you?"
"There are some ice blocks left on the ship that have not been consumed. I am afraid of wasting it, so I plan to sell it to Ah Cai at a cheaper price. Dad has taken Ah Cai to the ship to see the remaining ice blocks. We will move them down to him together. He should be back soon.
"
What was unexpected was that his father did not come over, but Lin Jishang did, and he was surprised.
"A Dong!"
Ye Yaodong had just tested the exposure and clicked on the hairy fish when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Damn it, are you invisible? When did you come back? I went to your house two days ago, and your wife said there was no news about you since you left."
"Well, don't you make money by selling goods? Come back as soon as you finish selling the goods."
Ye Yaodong thought that because of the lightning and thunder last night, this guy must have come back last night.
"Did you get home last night?"
"Get home early in the morning."
"How did you know I was at home?"
"Isn't this why I went out for a walk after lunch and looked at the tide? I saw two big white and blue boats parked on the sea. I thought you should be back too. Your workshop happened to be nearby again, so I went to check it out.
I took a quick look and saw a pile of goods piled up in the corner."
"I just got home two hours ago. There was lightning and thunder last night, so I came back early. It's a pity that I just went out yesterday and came back today, which was a waste of my gas money."
As soon as Lin Jishang entered the yard, he noticed the huge fish on the ground. He didn't know what kind of fish it was for a while, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After pulling out two cigarettes for him, he lit them for both of them.
Then he pointed at the fish on the ground with his cigarette butt and said, "What kind of fish is this? It's so big, it's taller than a man. Are you going to kill it and eat it yourself?"
"Yeah, I'm going to kill myself and eat it. I've never eaten such a big fish. You came just in time. Help me lift it and let my wife help me take a group photo."
"Okay, let's take the photo now, right?"
"Yes, shoot it now, and then kill it while it's still fresh."
"good."
He put the newly lit cigarette into his mouth, bit it, and then took off his cotton-padded jacket.
Ye Yaodong also took off his cotton-padded jacket, and the two of them kept smoking cigarettes in the same way, looking naughty.
Then he ordered Lin Jishang to do the same as him, directly grabbing the fish's gills, and the two of them worked together to lift the fish.
"The one who rides on the horse is so heavy?"
Lin Jishang originally held the gills with one hand, but the fish was too big and heavy to lift with one hand, so he could only lift it with two hands.
Ye Yaodong did the same. He held the fish's gills with both hands at the same time, then looked down at the fish's tail, letting the fish's tail barely touch the ground, and then stood up straight.
"Stand over to the motorcycle and take a photo of the motorcycle!"
"There's a lot to do." Lin Xiuqing was already ready, but she could only pause and let them move.
"Okay, okay, that's it."
He held the fish head with one hand like a cool man, and with his other hand free, he took the cigarette out of his mouth.
"Photograph me looking more handsome."
"I know." Lin Xiuqing responded angrily.
"Two more photos."
After Lin Xiuqing took two pictures, she found that there was no film.
"The film ran out, what did you do? Didn't I just replace this roll? I didn't want to take a few photos during the New Year, so it ran out so quickly?"
"Use it all, so soon?" He read it again and then looked up at Lin Jishang.
Lin Jishang answered politely, "I have a few more at home, and I will bring you two later."
Ye Yaodong grinned happily, "How can I have the nerve to cost you money?"
"It doesn't matter, I have it ready-made."
"Okay, then I'm not polite. Put the fish down first. If the photo is developed later, I will send one to you as a souvenir."
"What kind of fish is this? Others are reluctant to take pictures, but you still take pictures of fish, and you took several pictures."
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing's back as she took the camera into the house, and whispered: "Maoyu, don't let my wife know. I will kill the fish later and chop up a piece of the meat for you to take back."
Although Lin Jishang was well-informed, he was surprised and felt a little sorry for his prodigal behavior.
"You just chopped up the hairy fish and ate it? Your wife knew about it and didn't want to make trouble with you?"
"Oh, she doesn't dare. I have the final say at home. What's more, the most valuable thing is the isinglass inside. Why don't I just dry the isinglass and keep it?"
Then he said he shouldn’t let his wife know?
"How about you sell me the isinglass?"
"If I don't sell it, I want to save it as a family heirloom or if the child doesn't grow taller, I will stew it for my own children."
"Are you making too much money?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and pointed at the old lady, "The old man said that no one can suffer for himself."
Lin Ji was speechless for a moment.
"Then if I tell your wife now, will your wife sell it to me?"
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened and he smiled like a fox.
"Grass!"
After scolding the thief in his heart, he told the story of the fish again.
"Let me tell you, this fish is a fish that can survive the tribulation, but it has been struck by lightning. God will not let it continue to grow. Do you think I will sell its isinglass? In the future, I only need to return the photo with it.
If you take out isinglass, when can you not sell it?"
"The price will definitely rise. This is a fish that cannot be punished by nature!"
"If you tell my wife, I won't tell you the difference between fish and meat! Are you sure you want to tell my wife? You know that you can't buy isinglass, but you can still take a bite of fish to keep fit and replenish your body."
Lin Jishang laughed heartily, "Didn't you say that you have the final say at home?"
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "I am here for the harmony of the family, so that everything will be prosperous."
"Okay, if you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. Remember to cut a piece of fish for me later and see if I can live forever if I eat it."
"That should be a little bit worse."
