Chapter 357
The next day.
Shen Fei woke up before dawn as usual.
He checked the weasels’ harvest at the door as usual.
The harvest today was not bad. The weasels brought back a hare and a pheasant.
Shen Fei took care of the prey brought back by the weasels. After that, he rode his family’s bicycle to the ferry.
Today, the three little ones and Wu Qiujin were going to Qiaotou Village. Shen Fei planned to buy some seafood for them to take with them.
When they came to Zhao Youcai’s shop, it was not Zhao Youcai who opened the shop this morning, but Zhao Youcai’s wife.
“Sister-in-law, why are you opening the shop today? Where is Brother Cai?”
Shen Fei stepped forward to inquire about the situation and took a look at the seafood available in the shop.
Seeing that it was Shen Fei, Zhao Youcai's wife smiled and said:
"Shen Fei, you are here. Youcai and his friends went out last night, saying that they were going to buy more than 1,000 kilograms of yellow croaker. This time they plan to find a few more buyers in the city to ship the goods. It will probably take a day or two to come back."
"Are you here to calculate the money? If so, I can give you part of it first."
Seeing Shen Fei come to the store so early, Zhao Youcai's wife guessed that he might be here to ask for money.
Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"No, sister-in-law, I want to buy some seafood. Today, my three little girls are going to their grandparents' house, and I plan to buy some seafood for them."
After hearing what Shen Fei said, Zhao's sister-in-law realized that she was wrong. She smiled and said:
"Oh, I thought you were here to ask for money, and you scared me. The fish you want to give to your father-in-law, this one, this one is good."
Said Zhao's sister-in-law personally helped Shen Fei choose several fish, a three-jin grouper, four more than one-jin yellowfin fish, three large lobsters, and eight large blue crabs.
These are the best stocks in her store now. Other valuable seafood were all taken to the city by Zhao Youcai and others last night.
"Sister-in-law, how much are these?"
After packing all the seafood, Shen Fei took out the money and asked Zhao's sister-in-law.
Sister Zhao glanced at the weight she had just recorded and said:
"It's your cost price, just give me 200 yuan. If you go to the vegetable market, it will be at least 300 yuan."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Fei smiled and nodded, and gave 200 yuan.
When he got home, he boiled the four yellowfin fish with soy sauce water and used it to make breakfast with white porridge in the morning.
The rest was saved for Wu Qiujin and the three children to take to Old Wu's house later.
......
"Yellowfin fish boiled in soy sauce water, this is delicious! Brother Fei, the food here is still good!"
At breakfast time, Datou ate and praised.
Sitting next to him, A Zhuang ate silently.
The food here is much better than what they had back home. They had a big meal of fish and meat last night, and white porridge with yellowfin fish in soy sauce in the morning. It was so comfortable~
Shen Fei was also eating breakfast with them and said to them:
"My nephew is going to discuss marriage today. You two will go out to sea with Wenbo, Wentao and Zhanpeng in the morning and help on the boat first. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Datou and A Zhuang agreed without asking about the reward.
Shen Fei nodded and said:
"Try on the boat first. If it doesn't work, I have a pig farm here and I need people.
In addition, I have opened a store and plan to do the marinade business. If I need someone to cut the meat, I can always find something for you.
When you two are sure you can stay, we will discuss the salary."
"Well, what kind of salary do you need to work for Brother Fei? Just a place to sleep and food to eat." Datou agreed with a smile on his face.
A Zhuang also nodded, indicating his agreement with Datou.
Shen Fei smiled and said, "If you don't want a salary, that's fine. I'll make more money."
"Ah?! Are you really planning not to pay?" Hearing Shen Fei's words, Datou was a little upset and said with a bitter face, "I just said that. I still have to support my son. Give me a hundred or eighty yuan a month."
"Promising." A Zhuang glanced at Datou and continued to drink porridge with a nonchalant look.
Shen Fei smiled and said, "If you two are sure you can stay, let alone a hundred or eighty yuan, there are also a thousand or eight hundred yuan. How can I really not pay you? Isn't that the same as in Nanyang?"
"Hey, that's different. The food in Nanyang is not so good, and you have to be beaten and scolded." Datou smiled and continued to eat.
At this time, Shen Su, Li Weixi, Shen Yong and Lin Cuihong walked in and just heard Shen Fei arranging work for A Zhuang and Datou.
When Lin Cuihong heard that Shen Fei was going to pay the two men, one tall and one short, 1,800 yuan a month, she smacked her lips.Glancing at Shen Yong beside him, she wanted to say something but couldn't, feeling very uncomfortable.
1,800, which was equivalent to Shen Yong's monthly salary on the ship!
Shen Fei promised the two men so easily, one tall and one short, and he didn't care that his brother didn't have a stable income now...
"Hey." Lin Cuihong sighed softly and pulled Shen Su's sleeve.
Shen Su was also a little helpless about this matter.
Ignoring Lin Cuihong, she said to Shen Fei:
"Xiao Fei, if you have nothing else to do, let's set off after you are full. Let's go and discuss Xiao Jin's marriage early, so that I can feel at ease."
Hearing this, Shen Fei glanced at his watch. It was not yet seven o'clock.
He said to Shen Su and the others helplessly:
"If we go there so early, will the girl's family be able to take care of us? You are not planning to have breakfast at the girl's house?"
This is too early. Normally, if you go to someone's house to discuss things, it must be after eight or nine o'clock. It's not appropriate to go there at breakfast time, right?
Li Weixi said: "We also want to go to the town to buy some souvenirs and bring them to Xiaolu's parents later."
Hearing this, Shen Erya, who was eating breakfast on the side, said:
"Uncle, aunt, what town are you going to buy gifts? Our family runs a store, and we have cigarettes and alcohol.
If you think that cigarettes and alcohol are not enough, here, like my father, buy some seafood, which is already very impressive, and you don't need to bring anything else."
While speaking, Erya pointed to the seafood that Shen Fei placed in the water basin in the patio.
Shen Su walked to the patio and took a look. "Red snapper, big lobster, big blue crab... these things are really impressive. Xiaofei, have you been out to sea this morning?"
"No, I bought these at the ferry. Mengmeng, Niuniu and Xiaoliu are going to their grandfather's house later, so I plan to let them take them with them." Shen Fei said.
Hearing this, Shen Su was stunned, thinking that this little brother is really different now, he is really good to his daughter! He is also very generous.
"How much are these, more than 300?"
"Not that much, plus the four yellowfin fish I boiled in soy sauce water, a total of 200 yuan. I often buy and sell from Brother Cai, and he calculated the cost price for me."
Shen Fei explained.
Normally, buying so much at the market would definitely not be so cheap.
