The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 36 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-law (36)

  However, she still wants to go to Tongcheng where her brother-in-law lives.

  That’s much bigger than a small county town. It’s good to buy some things that don’t exist here and earn some college living expenses.

She sorted out the money in her hands: Xu's mother gave her all the money she made from making clothes recently; plus the two hundred dollars she had saved before; Bonuses for the pacesetter commendation; bonuses for being recommended to the No. 6 Middle School of Huada University...

  All things added up, the balance on hand is 405 yuan, which is really a lot, after all, the monthly salary of the eighth-level workers in the factory has not broken 100.

  Mother Xu helped clean up a pile of food:

  The fungus mushrooms were picked by her uncle after the Qingming Festival, and they were still very fresh.

   A pack of kelp and dried shrimps from her sister-in-law's natal family. Although it is not worth the money, you may not be able to buy it in Tongcheng if you want to eat it.

  Xu Yin recalled the introduction about Tongcheng in the book, oh, it is an inland province and city without the sea on all sides, and the transportation is not very developed now, so it is really not so convenient to eat some seafood.

   With a thought in her heart, she opened up a little idea of ​​making money:

  Since you can bring back goods that you can’t buy here from Tongcheng to make a difference, you can also bring some products that are available here but not in Tongcheng to make a difference.

  She decided to go to her sister-in-law's natal house and grandma's house before setting off to buy more seafood and mountain products to take there.

  Anyway, there is an expansion backpack, not afraid of not being able to carry it, or even a system warehouse.

  So the next morning, in the eyes of her mother who was puzzled, "Is there so much kelp and shrimp skin in the house, do you still want to go?", she rode a small electric donkey and went out.

  Ms. Xu's maiden name is Li, which is the largest surname in Houhai Village.

  Father Li and mother Li are sixty-five years old this year. They have three sons and three daughters. Except for Mrs. Xu, the other two daughters are all married in the village.

  Although the three sons are separated, they are just next door, and they can come whenever they need something.

   When I heard that my sister-in-law was here, I was very surprised. I put down my work and warmly welcomed her into the house.

   "Did Yinyin have breakfast?" Mother Li asked.

  If you haven’t eaten, cook a bowl of vermicelli with soft-boiled eggs. This is the highest standard for locals to entertain guests.

  Xu Yin hurriedly said that she had eaten.

  Mother Li still asked the eldest daughter-in-law to cook a bowl of soft-boiled eggs without noodles, but she had beaten two eggs and put a lot of rock sugar.

  Xu Yin couldn't bear their enthusiasm, but she also knew that it was their simple enthusiasm for entertaining guests.

  Fortunately, I was prepared before I came. I took out two bottles of sorghum wine, two canned oranges, and two catties of brown sugar from the inconspicuous expansion bag.

  The sorghum wine was bought at a supply and marketing store.

  Brown sugar and canned food are still stockpiled in the system.

  Where will the Li family accept it?

Xu Yin took advantage of the opportunity to express her intentions: "I still have something to trouble my lord and aunt. If you don't accept me, I'm too embarrassed to ask. That's how it is. I'm going to Tongcheng to visit my brother and sister-in-law in a few days. It's far away from the sea and I can't buy it." What kind of seafood, I just want to buy some to take. If you don’t have any at home, please ask the uncle or aunt to ask the neighbors around. The price is as good as the usual price, I just bought it fresh from the door.”

   "What kind of trouble is this? I'll show you right away. Don't buy what our family has. Give it to my son-in-law and grandson. How can I make you pay for it?"

  Mother Li took Xu Yin to the storage room while talking.

  There are quite a few types of seafood in Li’s house, including kelp, dried razor clams, dried clams, and mud snails, all of which are picked up when fishing.

  Looking like this morning when I went to the sea, I picked up a lot of small sand crabs, about four or five catties in a basket. Mother Li took them home, rinsed them, and marinated them with salt and wine. They can be sold at the market in a few days.

  If she had known that Xu Yin would come, she would not have marinated, after all, freshly fried tastes more delicious.

  After watching it, Xu Yin was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Are there any bigger ones? For example, prawns, yellow croakers, hairtails, squids, swimming crabs, etc. I have enough money, so you can just rest assured."

  Mother Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Where can we get what you said here?"

   "..."

  After listening to her explanation, Xu Yin realized that Houhai Village is just a small place where the bay comes in, at best it is a corner of the bay, and it is actually far away from the real sea.

  The fishermen here mainly rely on the sea to pick up some small seafood, and go to the market to sell them in exchange for food and meat. After all, this is a saline-alkali land, and they cannot grow crops.

  Collective fishing boats can catch the kind of big seafood Xu Yin mentioned when they go out to sea, but they are often shipped back. Before they get off the dock, they are purchased by some state-owned units such as big factories and supply and marketing cooperatives.

  Small personal fishing boats generally only circle the mouth of the bay, and the species that can be caught are extremely limited.

  However, even if you do catch large fish, shrimp and crabs, you still have to go to the city to find buyers, and they are unlikely to sell them in the village.

  Xu Yin: "..."

   Never expected this to be the case.

   No wonder Xu's mother always complains that her in-laws are so poor that they only take some kelp and mud snails as gifts, that's because they really only have these.

   My heart suddenly felt a little blocked.

  It is said that relying on the mountains to eat mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea, it seems quite rich and comfortable, but it is really difficult to understand how difficult it is when you really integrate into this environment.

"It's much better now than before." Li's mother is quite optimistic, "Especially this year, after contracting the tidal flats, we don't have to wait for the tide to go out to catch the sea. Our family raises mud snails, clams, and razor clams, which can be sold for a good price during the New Year. If you go to the sea to pick it up on weekdays, you can earn extra money. Yinyin, go back and tell your mother-in-law that part of the money our family owes can be paid back a year ago. The price of goods in the first month is expensive, and if it sells well, you can pay back some, no It took too long."

  Xu Yin hurriedly said: "Don't worry about money, just take your time. If tidal flat farming can be done, life will become more and more stable in the future, and good days are yet to come."

"Yes, yes, we are looking forward to a stable livelihood. Going to the sea is always God's reward for food. When the weather is sunny and sunny, we don't feel anything. When there is a typhoon, we will know how difficult it is to eat this bowl of rice. "

  Through chatting, Xu Yin finally figured out the types of seafood that Houhai Village has:

   Just some small seafood that are easy to get by catching the sea, such as dried shrimps, mud snails, razor clams, clams, sand crabs, kelp, seaweed, etc.

  The price is very cheap, one yuan can buy a lot of people, and it can be eaten for a long time after drying.

  The rest of the abalone, scallops, large prawns, swimming crabs, etc. that she wanted to buy were all gone.

   Not to mention that she can't buy it with money, the fishermen in Houhai Village don't see it very often, and when they see it, they will look around strangely.

   "..."

   Good guy! How does this look like a seaside? It feels like I'm leaning on a fake sea.

   She was naive. When she heard about the sea, she thought that there were all kinds of seafood.

   Having said that, the main thing is that they are too poor.

  If there is a fishing boat... Of course, it is not the kind of small fishing boat that can only circle the mouth of the bay, but the kind of big fishing boat that is not afraid of wind and waves and can go to the sea. Isn’t there all kinds of seafood you want to eat?

  Thinking of this, Xu Yin was full of energy again.

   "Auntie, how is the establishment of the fishing organization mentioned last time? Have you bought the fishing boat?"

  She is still a nominal shareholder.

  Although the investment is not much and the proportion is not high, they are also shareholders and have the right to care about the business they invest in.

   "Coincidentally, I went to the town to set up a stall yesterday and heard someone talking about it." Li's mother stroked her hands, "I heard that the ocean-going ship has been bought, and it seems that the sea trip is scheduled for the beginning of next month."

"I've heard about it too." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family cooked a bowl of soybeans and served them to Xu Yin as a snack, and then said casually, "But I didn't come back so soon after traveling far away. It's said to be at least two or three months, maybe at the end of the year." I can only come back. But it’s good to come back at the end of the year, and it happens to be divided into New Year’s goods.”

  Xu Yin was stunned for a moment: "New Year's gift?"

   "Yes, the son of our village party secretary has also invested in the shares. I went to inquire not long ago and came back and said that there was no money for the first year, but he will share some things, so it will be seafood."

   "..."

  So, she will have big fish, prawns and crabs at the end of the year?

Oh yeah! This trip was not in vain!
