Ji Ping had a mysterious look on his face, as if Chu Xuan would miss a million if he didn't listen to what he told him.
Chu Xuan was wondering, what did Mu Chenze have to say that he couldn't come over and say it himself?
But he didn't ask, "Ji Ping, tell me!"
Ji Ping said in a very low voice, "He asked you to meet at my house at nine o'clock tonight. He has something important to tell you."
"Got it, thank you!"
Instinct told Chu Xuan that he must keep the appointment tonight.
Ji Ping then pointed at the cartfish and said, "Today's five hundred catties are still unloaded in the corner where they were yesterday?"
"Yes. Xiaofeng, accounting, five hundred catties."
As soon as Chu Xuan finished speaking, Chu Feng responded loudly, "Okay!"
After keeping accounts, he went to the kitchen and scooped out a bowl of red bean and barley soup for Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan smiled and thanked his younger brother, but did not accept the offer. He explained, "The Chinese medicine I drank contains medicinal materials that can dispel dampness. If I drink this soup again, it will be too much."
Pointing in the direction of Ji Ping.
Chu Feng understood.
When Ji Ping finished unloading the fish, a large bowl of red bean and barley soup was handed to him.
This soup is very effective in removing dampness.
Ji Ping thanked Chu Feng, took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, returned the bowl, and left.
At this moment, Mu Chenze was lying on his kang with a helpless expression.
I don’t know what happened to my mother, but she followed him wherever he went.
He didn't want his mother to know about his cooperation with Chu Xuan, and he didn't want his mother to see him meeting Chu Xuan.
But he had something important to tell Chu Xuan, and the less people knew about it, the better.
If my mother found out, she would definitely tell my father and eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Then he asked Ji Ping to send a message to Chu Xuan.
Ji Ping will keep it secret and will not eavesdrop when the time comes.
Qin Mahua failed to discover her son's secret, but was not discouraged and planned to continue to follow him in the future.
Little did he know that his son had already seen through it.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the skinned fish were processed and cleaned.
Chu Xuan settled wages based on his younger brother's accounting book.
Liu Zhaodi killed five hundred catties of fish for five yuan.
Gao Meijuan and Wang Shasha killed a total of 700 kilograms of fish for seven yuan.
Miao Dacui only started killing fish in the afternoon, so the quantity was small, only one hundred catties and one yuan.
Chu Feng killed two hundred catties of fish for two yuan.
Chu Xuan settled on the same day.
Liu Zhaodi held five yuan in her hand and felt like she was dreaming. She had earned so much in five hours. If she earned this much every day, it would be one hundred and fifty yuan a month to support her two younger brothers in school and buy medicine for her mother. No problem.
After thanking Chu Xuan and confirming that he could continue to come in the future, he left happily.
Wang Meijuan's family was not in a hurry to leave. Some helped carry water, some helped put fish fillets on the tray, and some helped chop wood to light the fire...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Chu Xuan walked to the door and saw Widow Niu standing outside the door with a embarrassed look on her face, her hands nervously clutching the corners of her clothes.
The Ox Widow is in her thirties, tall and strong as an ox.
Usually, Chu Xuan and Widow Niu had little contact, but when people came to visit, they still needed to be polite.
"Sister Niu, what's the matter?"
The Cow Widow mustered up her courage and stammered, "I... I heard that you opened... a grilled fish fillet workshop. Do you have the strength... to work hard? Can you hire... hire me..."
After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Xuan for fear of being rejected.
Chu Xuan knew her family situation. There were only her and her twelve-year-old son Wang Mingguang at home.
The Cow Widow is so clumsy that no one can hire her to work for more than a day.
Either she broke the fishing net, or she accidentally smashed something, or even cut her hand if she killed a fish...
So much so that no one dared to hire her for work anymore.
Go catch the sea, others can more or less pick up good goods, but she can pick up at most things like clams, snails, and rainbows. She has no wealth and no brains. As time goes by, she becomes poorer and poorer.
The Ox Widow is a honest and honest person.
Chu Xuan was thinking about hiring someone to carry water and chop wood, but he didn't know whether Widow Niu was qualified.
Chu Xuan was a little worried that she accidentally cut her hand while chopping firewood.
In the end, I still wanted to help her.
"Okay. I'll hire you to carry water and chop firewood. There must be water in the water tank every day, and you have to chop at least two loads of firewood. The salary is one yuan per day. If you are willing, you can come at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and the wages will be settled on the same day."
Widow Niu had a look of surprise on her face. She just wanted to give it a try. She didn't expect that Chu Xuan could really hire her. She kept saying, "I am willing! I am willing...thank you...thank you..."
Seeing her like this, Chu Xuan felt inexplicably distressed.
"Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow will be full of strenuous work."
Widow Wang grinned, "Okay! I'll be here early tomorrow morning!"
Wave your hands and leave happily.
Chu Feng had marinated the sweet and salty fish fillets in advance. Chu Xuan took a look at them and started grilling them.
There was no hiding or tucking, teaching Gao Meijuan how to control the heat.
I don’t mind if Chu Feng, Miao Dacui and Wang Shasha follow suit.
From now on, Chu Xuan will need to go out to sell fish every day, and plans to ask Gao Meijuan and the others to grill the fish at home, and calculate the additional wages.
In fact, Chu Xuan had another idea, but she had to look at the sales volume and wait until the sales volume increased before mentioning it to Wang Depin.
After learning how to grill fish fillets in two ovens, Gao Meijuan has basically mastered the cooking temperature.
Only then did Chu Xuan remember
At about 8:50 in the evening, Chu Xuan found a reason to go out to eat after eating too much.
He took a path no one used, came to the door of Ji Ping's house, and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was Mu Chenze, who secretly climbed out of the window.
His mother thought he had already gone to bed.
Ji Ping walked out of the kitchen, holding the steamed bun in his hand, and took a bite. "You two go to the main room to chat, and I will go back to the kitchen to eat."
Leave room for them to talk.
Mu Chenze nodded towards Chu Xuan and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Xuan walked into the main room.
Mu Chenze then walked into the main room, closed the door and bolted it.
Lean against the door.
Chu Xuan swallowed, what did this guy want to do? It’s not because he wants to dominate...
"Mu Chenze, why are you closing the door?"
Mu Chenze made a silence gesture, "Keep your voice down! Next, I'm going to tell you something very important! You have to make sure to stay calm after listening and not yell out of anger. "
Only then did Chu Xuan realize that he had thought wrongly.
"Okay! I promise! Just tell me quickly! There are hundreds of kilograms of fish fillets at home waiting for me to bake."
"Then I'll make a long story short." Mu Chenze deliberately lowered his voice and continued, "I didn't receive the deep-sea fishery this morning, so I didn't go to the city. Instead, I went to sea with my family's boat. But you don't have to worry. I have sold those sea cucumbers, abalones and the like that I bought there. When my family was fishing on the boat, I happened to meet Chu Zhi, who bought a second-hand boat. Instead of fishing well, he drank and fished on the boat, and ended up drunk. , plunged into the sea. I saw him."
Chu Xuan looked helpless, "Did you save him?"
"That's right."
"People like Chu Zhi deserve to die! Why did you save him?"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but think of how helpless she felt after being pushed into the sea by Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua in her previous life. In this life, she wished Chu Zhi could also experience the feeling of suffocating and dying in the sea.
Mu Chenze said good-naturedly, "Thanks to me for saving him, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the secret!"
Chu Xuan became interested, "What secret?"
"When I rescued him on the boat, he was still drunk and muttering, "We have money! My family has a lot of money! Buying a boat to go to sea is not to make money, but to show off that the old Chu family also has money to buy a boat!"
