Fisherman

As soon as Cao Fang finished speaking, Zhao Qian came back with the small fishing boat.

Brother Zhou watched the boat go back happily. When the boat docked, he bent down to help Zhao Qian pull the boat, but he grabbed his hand all of a sudden: "I didn't promise you not to run around, Why are you so disobedient, kid!"

"I walked out very slowly, it's okay." Zhou Ge'er saw his gloomy face, and his voice weakened: "It's really very slow."

Cao Fang, who was in the distance, saw the expressions of the two. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she could tell that it was not a good thing. Zhao Qian had explained to her before that Brother Zhou was just bought by him and used as a horse. Slave, looking at the two of them getting along like this, it is indeed not very harmonious.

She hooked the corners of her mouth without a trace.

Hu San'er ran over.

"Zhao Qian, you've really gone out to fish, you're quite courageous! How was the harvest?"

With outsiders around, Zhao Qian couldn't continue talking about Brother Zhou. He picked up the fish basket, and then took out the kelp: "It's okay."

Hu San'er saw sea fish big and small in the basket with a big belly and a small mouth, squeezed together greasy without water, and the half-person-high basket was filled with three quarters.

He widened his eyes: "You kid must be rich, you have caught so many fish for most of the day! I'm lucky to catch it in three days."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are these kelp, enough to eat for a long time!"

Zhao Qian smiled softly: "Go to my house to eat fish tonight."

"Then what's the matter? Last time I called you to my house, you didn't go there yet. Instead, I went to your house to eat first."

"I want you to help me bring the sea fish home, so treat yourself to dinner as if it's okay."

Hu San'er followed suit and laughed: "It's not a problem to move things."

Zhao Qian stacked the two baskets together so that they could carry them easily. Hu San'er saw a big clam shell in the kelp basket, and he picked it up casually: "Why did you bring this thing back? Sand Too much meat and little food, not tasty."

"I heard that this kind of shell grows pearls, so I picked them up right away."

Zhao Qian's unintentional words made Brother Zhou's face darken, and Cao Fang's expression brightened.

"Can you have pearls? If you can get a good price in the market, pry them open and have a look." Hu San'er held it by his ear and shook it, as if he was listening for something ringing inside.

"If you can hear if there is any goods in it by shaking it like this, then you don't need to go fishing, and you just look for pearls."

Hu San'er smiled resentfully, handed the shell to Zhao Qian, and took out a knife from his waist: "Quick, pry it open and have a look."

Zhao Qian had no choice but to insert the knife into the seam of the clam shell and break it hard, a puddle of water flowed out, and the clam shell was split in half.

"Ah! Really! It's pink! It's too rare!" Hu San'er smacked in surprise, and couldn't wait to twist the little finger-sized beads next to Bai Shengsheng's clam shell.

Zhao Qian had never seen such a natural pink pearl before, but it was indeed rare.

Cao Fang's eyes almost fell on the pink pearl, she stepped forward a few steps: "This pearl is too beautiful, Brother Zhao, you are really amazing."

Zhao Qian took the pearl from Hu San'er's hand, twisted it up and looked at the setting sun a few times: "It's beautiful, but it's useless for me, an old man."

Hearing this, Cao Fang's face flushed with excitement. The pearls are of such good quality, they are still pink, not to mention that they can be sold to the rich in the market for a better price, or they can be kept as treasures for themselves. ah!

She really didn't expect that Zhao Qian, a worthless person, could actually find pearls, it's still so rare!The smile on her face gradually bloomed, and Zhao Qian was much more pleasing to the eye, just waiting for him to deliver the things to her hands.

For this pearl, she can reluctantly say something nice to him.

However, before she could open her mouth, Zhao Qian put the pearl in her palm, and then threw it to Brother Zhou who was aside: "You keep it."

Brother Zhou caught it in a panic, and looked at Zhao Qian suspiciously.

Isn't it for...

Cao Fang's face seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist after she was stunned.

Hu San'er looked away, coughed dryly, he was also surprised, Zhao Qian had always liked that girl Cao Fang, and the pearl was not found for her.

Zhao Qian didn't realize everyone's rich psychological activities, and said loudly: "Let's go, go back!"

He and Hu San'er lifted the fish goods, Hu San'er greeted Cao Fang who was on the side, and said awkwardly: "Let's go first."

The two really left, Cao Fang almost wanted to bite her silver teeth, when had she ever suffered such a grievance.

Her eyes were a little red, and she almost cried, her voice was trembling: "Zhao Qian!"

Zhao Qian, who had gone away with Hu San'er, turned his head and raised his thick eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

She gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Zhao Qian glanced at her suspiciously, then turned to Brother Zhou and said, "Shaoyu, what are you doing there!"

Brother Zhou hurriedly moved his steps, Cao Fang felt too shameful, so he ran away quickly clutching the basket.

Hu San'er and Zhao Qian walked for a while: "Zhao Qian, you have to practice your bones, you walk like ants crawling."

Zhao Qian didn't defend or deny Hu San'er's words, he turned his head to look at Zhou Ge'er who was following behind him from time to time, and only turned his head when he saw people walking slowly.

"Are you all right at home tonight? My craftsmanship is pretty good. Do you want to try it?"

Zhao Qian is very honest, he really wants to ask Hu San'er to have dinner with him, since he wants to live here, he must have friends, Hu San'er is not bad, he will take care of everything after making friends.

Hu San'er scratched his head with one hand: "I still have to collect the fishing nets at home."

"When you go back and get busy, come over and eat directly."

Hu San'er was even more embarrassed. In the past, Zhao Qian's reputation was not good, and he didn't have much contact with him. After contacting him a few times, this person is not what everyone said.

He was moved by his straightforwardness, and he was a little happy: "Well, I still have some wine at home that I went to the market to buy a while ago, bring it here and let's drink a pot."

The two made an agreement like this. When they got home, Hu San'er would go back to work first, and Zhao Qian packed up and prepared to cook.

When Brother Zhou returned home, Zhao Qian didn't say a word, and he refused to let him help if he wanted to. He knew he was angry.After sitting alone in the back room for a while, he limped outside to watch him handle the fish.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhao Qian was handling a small big-headed sea fish, so he glanced at Brother Zhou twice.

Brother Zhou was stunned by his serious gaze, and his reticent temperament seemed to be getting more and more disheartened in front of him.

"sorry."

Zhao Qian put down the kitchen knife for killing fish, poured a basin of warm water and brought out a small bench, then went into the room and brought out some green onions, ginger and garlic, which he put on the ground: "Wash these clean."

Brother Zhou seemed to be on the verge of an amnesty, with no expression on his face, and the body that moved quickly betrayed the emotions in his heart.

"Slow down."

The two are not far apart, one handles sea fish, the other washes vegetables, and they occasionally talk a few words, they really look like a couple with a good relationship.

"Do you know how many people are in Hu San'er's family?" Zhao Qian asked casually.

"The Hu family has four members, besides his father and mother, there is also a younger sister."

"Then how is the condition of his family?"

Brother Zhou was silent for a while, and asked instead of answering: "You really...don't remember anything from the past?"

I am not the original person, how can I remember.Zhao Qian thought so in her heart, but she still didn't say it, and no one believed it, it would be better to say that she couldn't remember it: "What's the benefit of me lying to you."

Brother Zhou lowered his head and curled his fingers soaked in warm water. He was a little happy when he heard this.He bit his lower lip and glanced over: "Then ask me anything you want to know, and I'll tell you."

Zhao Qian smiled: "Success."

Brother Zhou didn't know that there was a smile on his eyebrows and eyes: "Brother Hu's parents are not in good health. They live by the sea, and they will inevitably be in poor health when they are old. They can't do much work. The family depends on Brother Hu Hold on, my sister will do some housework."

"Really." He saw that Hu San'er was very cheerful, but he didn't expect him to bear the burden of the family alone: ​​"Then when he comes over later, let him bring back some kelp, okay?"

If Brother Zhou thinks about family matters, it is fine for the man to decide, and there is no need to ask his opinion.

Zhao Qian saw that he didn't speak: "Why, don't you want to?"

"No, it's fine if you decide."

"Of course, you have to have some ideas about family matters." After Zhao Qian dealt with the fish, he walked up to Brother Zhou, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, what did you call me before?"

Brother Zhou was a little puzzled. When the two of them were together before, he might say two words in three days. Most of the time, it was Zhao Qian who asked him to do things. In fact, the two of them didn't call each other the same as him.

He tentatively replied, "Zhao Qian..."

Zhao Qian patted him on the head: "From now on, I will be called Brother Zhao."

After finishing speaking, he took the basin and took the washed vegetables into the house.

Brother Zhou picked up the basin and poured out the water in it. He dried his hands on his clothes, and touched his head just patted by Zhao Qian in a daze.

Zhao Qian actually wants to grill fish. He is best at grilling, but there is no chili noodles or cumin powder at home, and the seasoning is insufficient, so the barbecue he made is not delicious.

So simply use soy sauce to make a braised big head sea fish.

The fish is whole. After marinating with salt, he fried both sides until yellow and scooped it up for later use. He then fried the onion, ginger, garlic, and a little chili together.

When it rained a few days ago, he ordered a simple and rough table with some wood, and finally he had a place to eat. Brother Zhou cleaned the table and set meals in the house.Smelling the scent coming from the kitchen, I couldn't help but go and have a look.

By this time the fish is out of the pan.

"Just come over and have a taste."

Brother Zhou was a little embarrassed and didn't make a move.Zhao Qianwu picked up a piece of fish and handed it to the young man's thin lips: "Try it."

"I, I'll do it myself." Brother Zhou's face was suddenly stained with a thin layer of red, and he quickly took a bite of the chopsticks in Zhao Qian's hand.

Zhao Qian looked at him with a strange look: "How is it, is it delicious?"

Brother Zhou couldn't answer, his heart tightened just now, he swallowed the fish in one gulp, he didn't want to taste the taste of the fish.

A lot of ingredients were missing in the fish. Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Qian doubted the taste of his own cooking. He took the chopsticks back from Brother Zhou, tried it himself, and ate the food for several days in a dull manner. The sea fish tasted very fresh, and he was picky about his taste, so he didn't think he could cook it well.

Brother Zhou turned around, and saw Zhao Qian put the chopsticks he had used into his mouth, and felt like a drum beating in his heart for a moment: "Brother Hu seems to be here."

Zhao Qian is still obsessed with her craft: "Is my fish not tasty?"

Brother Zhou paused: "It's delicious, it's delicious."
