Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"Woof woof, woof, woof!"

"Wangcai, are you blind? It's only been two days and you don't recognize me!"

Ye Xiaocui was cleaning the rabbit coop and chicken coop in the backyard. When she heard the noise in the front yard, she hurried over.

"Brother, are you back?"

"Hey, what did you bring?"

Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin took off the snakeskin bag from the back seat of the bicycle and were puzzled to see that Ye Xiaocui was the only one in the room.

"Auntie, where are Awan and Aming?"

Ye Xiaocui washed her hands and answered casually, "They all went to the county town. Comrade Jiang, the farmer, had something urgent to do and had to go back, so they also happened to be going to the county to buy some things.

I was thinking that since we're going out to sea soon in the next couple of days, I might as well have them all go burn some incense for Mazu."

So that's how it is. Ye Lin looked regretful. He had never been to the Mazu Temple. Ever since he often went out to sea, he had wanted to go and kowtow there.

Ye Xiaocui washed the dirt off her hands, then went over to open the snakeskin bag that Ye Jianguo and the others had brought. It would have been fine if she hadn't opened it, but once she opened it, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

Oh my God, there is actually a big piece of pork with the pig's hind leg in here!

When I opened the bag next to it, I found it was actually a pig’s front leg!

These two bags together make up half a pig!

"Brother, where did you get these pigs? What are you doing with all these pigs?"

Ye Xiaocui stuttered as she spoke. Ye Jianguo carried the pork to the kitchen and said nonchalantly, "These are the New Year pigs raised by the villagers. I went back to help them kill two. Seeing that the pigs were well fed, I bought some."

Oh my god, did you buy some?

Ye Xiaocui rushed into the kitchen and stopped Ye Jianguo from taking out the meat, "Take it back, we can't eat so much.

All this pork must be worth over a hundred yuan, right? Take it back and sell it!"

"Oh, Auntie, we rode all the way here, how can we take it back?

This amount of pork is still less than what you gave our family before."

Ye Lin put down the pork in his hand, and while persuading Ye Xiaocui, he went to look for a knife for chopping ribs on the wall next to him.

"Yes, Xiao Cui, the weather has been good recently, and your sister-in-law asked you to cut up the meat and dry it into bacon.

Awan and her friends like to eat spare ribs. You have a refrigerator at home, so you can freeze the spare ribs and eat them slowly when the weather gets colder."

Hearing that her sister-in-law knew about it, Ye Xiaocui felt relieved. She was also afraid that if Ye Jianguo took the initiative to bring so much meat, it would cause a quarrel with her sister-in-law, which would be a real sin.

The relationship between an aunt and a sister-in-law is a science in itself. Ye Xiaocui got married early and didn't get along much with Li Chunhua at home.

In the past few years, our family was poor and lived far away, so after the children grew up, the two families only visited each other during the holidays.

Although she was willing to spend money on Ye Lin and others before, it was also because of her nephew.

Now it seems that sister-in-law Li Chunhua is indeed generous.

Despite thinking so, Ye Xiaocui still started nagging out of habit when she saw the pork on the chopping board.

"Hey, tell me, with so much meat, how much would it fetch if we sold it?

You guys, aren't you tired carrying it all the way here?"

Ye Lin grinned and said, "I'm not tired, there's nothing tiring about this.

Aunt, if you feel sorry for me being tired, I can make up for it by eating two more fish later."

Ye Xiaocui took the clean basins nearby and filled them with meat. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Eat, eat, eat. We have so much fish at home. I'm afraid you'll get tired of it!"

After eating sea fish several times, Ye Lin also fell in love with the taste of the sea.

Especially the grouper and snapper caught a few days ago, he finally understood why these two kinds of fish were so expensive. The texture and taste were simply incomparable to river fish!

"Auntie, take a look at what we should do with these ribs. Should we chop them into pieces? And how do we cut these pieces of meat?"

"Yes, cut them all into pieces. Cut these pieces of meat thicker so they will taste better when cured."

Ye Xiaocui showed Ye Lin some instructions, and then Ye Jianguo went out and took out an army green shoulder bag from the basket.

"Xiao Cui, go put this package away."

When Ye Xiaocui heard her elder brother calling her, she turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"what is this?"

Ye Jianguo stuffed the things into her hands. "Awan picked up some deer antlers in the woods earlier. I asked the old doctor in the village to dry them. This bag is ground, and that bag is sliced."

"Deer antler, this is a good thing."

Ye Xiaocui brought the paper bag close to her nose and smelled it, and a faint fishy smell came to her nose.

Authentic deer antlers not only have a fishy smell, but also a light salty taste. Ye Xiaocui had come across this thing before, but not as much as she has in her hands now.

The two bags she took probably weighed about seven or eight kilograms.

Ye Xiaocui wanted to say something else when she heard the sound of a tricycle at the door. She was about to step forward when Fu Wan and the others pushed the door open.

"Mom, we're back! Uncle, are you here too?"

Fu Wan greeted Ye Jianguo and turned to move things from the car.

Seeing this, Ye Jianguo and Ye Xiaocui hurried over to help. Fu Wan carried the things into the house and drank some water, only then she noticed the paper bag that Ye Xiaocui had placed on the table.

"what is this?"

"Antlers!"

Fu Wan picked it up and smelled it. Ye Jianguo put down the thing in his hand and took out his purse from his pocket.

"Awan, that antler weighed 28.6 jin before drying, and 22.3 jin after drying.

The old village doctor asked for ten kilograms, and this is the three hundred and eighty yuan he gave me."

Then he pulled out a large stack of money from his bag and said, "Your aunt said the two children are growing up, so she left three pounds at home. This is my share of the money."

To be honest, Ye Jianguo felt a little embarrassed. He had originally told Fu Wan that his family might want one or two kilograms, but who knew that Li Chunhua heard from the old village doctor that the antlers were of good quality and insisted on keeping three kilograms.

Fu Wan asked without frowning, three pounds of deer antlers, that's no big deal.

"Is three pounds enough? If not, get some more here."

"That's enough. Deer antlers can't be eaten as food, and the kids at home don't like them either."

Even if Li Chunhua hadn't stewed the antlers with the meat, Ye Zhenxing and Ye Xiaofeng would have run away at the first sign of the smell.

Fu Wan knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. She accepted the money given by the old village doctor, but she returned Ye Jianguo's share.

"Uncle, forget about your own family. I'll just take the old village doctor's copy."

"How does this work?"

"Why not? Uncle, if you don't accept it, I will have to settle the matter with you about the meat my mother just told me about."

Ye Jianguo was helpless. He knew that Fu Wan never liked to push things around, so he didn't say anything and simply took back his money.

Fu Wan put away the deer antlers and money. When she returned to the kitchen, Ye Lin had already divided the hundreds of pounds of meat into several piles according to Ye Xiaocui's instructions.
