Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

"Uncle San, what kind of people are they? How dare they openly trade in human beings in our Xinpu Town? Doesn't the government care?" Li Dalang asked.

Li Laosan's eyes darkened. "I don't know. I also told them that I would report it to the police, but they were not afraid. Instead, they laughed even more wildly, shouting that you could report it to the police at will and see who would be arrested and put in jail."

In this era, ordinary people are afraid of the government from the bottom of their hearts. If ordinary thieves hear the word "government", they will definitely be afraid. Those who dare to speak harshly and put them in jail are most likely related to the government.

When officials and bandits collude, the common people are wronged, but where can they go to seek justice?

Li Dalang punched the board with hatred and cursed: "These corrupt beasts must be colluding with each other."

Li Sanlang's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is how the world is. In their eyes, ordinary people are worse than dogs."

Even if he hated those people in his heart, what could he do? If he wasn't afraid of getting his family into trouble, he would fight them to the death, take advantage of the dark night and high wind, burn their nest, and burn these beasts who took human lives to death.

In the compartment, Li Yuer openly eavesdropped while serving meals to her mother and brother.

Fan cleaned her son, swaddled him again, and then slowly started to eat breakfast.

Li Yuer ate a little bit and then went to the Golden Sand Beach with the basket.

All the fish knives in the house were taken away by grandpa and his friends, so she just had to go find them.

While Li Yuer was sleeping, Old Man Li and his companions had already built the ice house, which was hemispherical in shape, like an upside-down pot.

The door was very small and people had to bend over to get in. At this time, there was a straw curtain hanging at the door to cover it. Li Yuer opened it and found a lot of whale meat inside.

This shows how early grandpa and his family get up.

At Jinshatan, the Li family is working hard.

Seeing Li Yuer coming, Li Meier, who was wearing a headscarf, waved at her, "What are you doing here? I'm freezing, but I still have to take time to take care of you."

Li Yuer knew that she was concerned about him, so she smiled and said, "I'll supervise your work."

"Puff!" Li Mei'er looked towards Old Lady Cai who was walking over here, pointed at Li Yu'er and scolded her with a smile: "Grandma, look at this clever little housekeeper, she is supervising us while we are working."

Li Laosan is no longer in danger. At this moment, Mrs. Cai's complexion is obviously much better than yesterday, and there is a hint of a smile on her face.

"Our Yu Bao'er is a blessed girl. She will marry on land and run a big family in the future."

Li Yuer knew they were teasing her, so she smiled and said, "Of course, if I let you manage a family, I guarantee that they will be rich. I don't manage just anyone, and I don't even bother to manage ordinary people."

Li Yuer really came over to supervise their work.

Whales are full of treasures, so you can't just chop them up casually.

"Uncle, stop now!"

Li Yuer saw with sharp eyes that Uncle Li was swinging the fish knife and chopping at the fish's tail.

Boss Li was startled by the little girl's shrill voice and stopped what he was doing. He asked in confusion, "Yu Baoer, what's wrong?"

The others also stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Li Yuer walked forward and carefully checked the whale's tail. After confirming that it was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just thought of the whale's tail, luckily she arrived in time.

She patted the whale's tail and said, "This fish tail was specifically requested by Shopkeeper Qian, and it has to be complete."

Old man Li thought about it and couldn't remember that Shopkeeper Qian had said such a thing, but Shopkeeper Qian did speak a few words to his granddaughter alone. Old man Li thought that this must be the case.

Yesterday, Old Mrs. Cai was so worried about her son that she was distracted and didn't pay any attention to whether Manager Qian said it or not.

"Then I can't cut it. I thought the whale's tail was all bones and useless. I wanted to remove it and eat it at home." Boss Li was scared. If he really chopped off the whale's tail, would he lose a lot of money?

Li Yuer explained: "While you were away, Shopkeeper Qian mentioned to me privately that the meat from the whale's tail is different from the meat from other parts and should be used to make a separate dish."

The meat of the whale's tail is relatively firm, white like jelly, and has a crisp texture. It is served with seasonings and then carefully carved by skillful chefs into specific shapes and arranged as a whole. It is so delicious and fragrant that it is sure to be welcomed by dignitaries.

"City people are so picky. They even want to see the appearance when eating meat." While complaining, Li Erlang became gentler in picking the fish meat.

This is all silver, who would go against silver? Twenty cents per pound, much more expensive than the best pork belly. If it is cut ugly, the nobleman will not want it, and it will be a big loss.

Now, the family owes more than ten taels of silver, and is still hoping to make a comeback by buying whale meat.

Li Yuer took the fish knife from Boss Li and drew a circle of boundaries on the whale's tail.

"Uncle, cut along the line I drew, cut it smoother, and cut it with the skin."

"Okay!" Boss Li took back the knife and started cutting carefully.

There were a limited number of fish knives, and Li Yuer was weak, so it was naturally not her turn to pick the fish meat.

It's another cold day, with snow particles floating in the sky, but fortunately the wind is weaker. The coldest thing at the seaside is not the low temperature, but the knife-like wind.

The wind blew on the face, like a small knife, and it was very painful. Within a quarter of an hour, the face was cracked. The wound will not hurt immediately after being frostbitten, but will start to hurt when you get to a warm place.

The most uncomfortable time is when spring comes and frostbite starts to heal. It becomes very itchy and the itchiness makes it hard to sleep at night.

Therefore, people living by the sea usually do not stay off the boat for long periods of time in winter, and they wear headscarves when they do.

That square piece of hemp cloth can cover the head and face.

At this time, Li Yuer was wandering on the beach, wearing a headscarf and a baggy, tattered reed jacket.

From a distance, it looks like a little old lady, and from even further away, it looks like an old hen sitting on eggs.

"Mei'er, go and keep an eye on Yu Baoer." Old Mrs. Cai was worried about Li Yuer running around alone.

Today is the news of death. At this moment, there are turbulent waves under the ice on the sea surface. If a person steps on air and falls into an ice hole, he will not be able to get out.

The two families in the Li family have two fish knives. The men take turns picking fish. Old Mrs. Cai and Li Meir are mainly responsible for using scissors to trim the fish pieces that are not in good shape, and are also responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as packing them into baskets.

Old Mrs. Cai can do it alone.

The reason why Golden Sand Beach is called Golden Sand Beach is because the sand here contains a kind of tiny yellow stones, which look like sparkling gold from a distance under the sun.

"Yubaoer, what are you doing?"

I don’t know why, but my cousin has become much smarter since she hit her head.

In the past, an old man at the dock said that there was a village around the town. In the village, there was a boy whose brain was damaged by a burn when he was a child. After the boy kowtowed one time, he suddenly became better.

Li Meir guessed that Li Yuer had been in her mother's womb for too long because of her second aunt's difficult birth when she was a child, and her brain was not very clear. Now that she had hit her head, she had become a better person.

Now Li Yuer is not only smart and lively, but also full of ideas. He can make an oil lamp by simply picking some wild grass on the roadside.

Li Yuer held up the shell in her hand and said, "Sister Mei'er, look, this shell is so beautiful."

There are colorful patterns scattered on the white scallop shells. After being polished by the waves for a long time, the surface of the shell looks very smooth and really beautiful.

There are so many things like this on the beach. Occasionally, children pick them up and take them home, but after a long time, they get tired of looking at them and throw them away.

However, it's normal for little girls to like such shiny and sparkly things.

Li Meir also started to help her sister pick out beautiful shells, just as if she was coaxing a child, as long as she didn't run onto the ice.
