Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 373 Postponement of the Wedding
Although the Fu family also made arrangements, Fu Chen and Liu Meilan were a couple and were about to get married, so in order to avoid suspicion, they finally chose Uncle Zhang.
After receiving the call from his father, Qian Kun was very happy and wanted to visit Uncle Zhang immediately. Whether in Sifang Island or in Shenzhen, the Qian family will have a place in the future. It will not be so easy for the Liu family to shut down the business and reorganize it!
When the Fu family received the news, they were also quite regretful.
"We didn't find the right person this time in such a hurry! What a pity, given such a good opportunity!" Mr. Fu said with emotion, tapping his fingers regularly on the desk.
Fu Weiguo advised: "Dad, a blessing in disguise! If this operation is not successful, other operations will be successful."
"We have so many children in the Fu family, you don't have to worry about Fu Chen. He has agreed to go to military school, and he will definitely be promoted after he returns from further studies."
Mr. Fu nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea. Liu Zhengtao may not have a stable future with a son like Liu Yiwen. While Fu Chen is away for further studies, the wedding date can be postponed to two years later."
Hearing this, Fu Weiguo was slightly stunned, "Dad, Fu Chen is really looking forward to marrying Meilan! He has been urging his mother to set a date."
"If there is no suitable reason, let's postpone the wedding for two years. The child will definitely not be happy. Besides, the Liu family may also have some ideas!"
Mr. Fu thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Just ask the Taoist priest at Baiyun Temple to help tell fortunes. Fu Chen and Meilan's birth dates indicate that they are not suitable for marriage in the next two years. If you insist on doing it, it will not be good for Meilan or Fu Chen! It will especially be bad for me and Fu Chen's grandmother. Fu Chen is a filial child. I will tell him that he will understand."
"This..." Fu Weiguo was slightly stunned, full of suspicion, "Father, aren't you not superstitious? When other people got married before, you said that national holidays were good days! When it comes to Fu Chen, you use such an excuse, Fu Chen may not believe it."
Mr. Fu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head. "If I only had Fu Chen as my grandson, I might not do this. But the Fu family has so many descendants, I have to be more cautious. Although there is strength in numbers, one person's merit brings glory to the whole family. But having more people also has disadvantages. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family will be affected. So I have to be cautious!"
Fu Weiguo thought for a moment, and then said, "Father, except for Liu Yiwen, everyone else in the Liu family is really reliable. In fact, not only Fu Chen likes Meilan, I also like Meilan. She gives me the feeling of a blessed child."
Mr. Fu shook his head and chuckled, "How lucky I am! How could I be replaced? I have suffered in the countryside for eighteen years. However, I also admit that you are right. Meilan is a very good girl and a good match for our Fu Chen. This time we tried to get that position but failed. It was snatched away by the Zhang family. I am quite puzzled. According to the ability of the Zhang family, they should not be able to get that position. There must be other forces involved. We need to continue investigating."
Fu Weiguo pondered for a moment and asked, "Dad, could it be the Qian family?"
"Zhang Wenjun and the Qian family don't seem to have a direct connection. If the Qian family supports it, what can Zhang Wenjun give to the Qian family?" Mr. Fu was puzzled and couldn't think of a connection between the two. However, according to the current information, it seems that the Qian family supports it.
Fu Weiguo suddenly thought of the Li family. "Dad, the Qian family has accepted the connections of the Li family! Zhang Wenjun has nothing to do with the Qian family, but he may have something to do with the Li family. If we follow this line, we may get something."
Hearing this, Mr. Fu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "I said it, the Qian family didn't have the ability to get involved in the military before. It's different now that they accepted the Li family. The Li family also served as high-ranking military officials in the past."
Fu Weiguo agreed, "Yes, otherwise Li Anqiang would not have been able to get to that position even though he is obviously incompetent. The key is that he did not work hard and even embezzled money! The Li family is gone, but the Li family's connections are still there."
"The Qian family is quite ambitious!" Old Master Fu sighed, "We must be cautious! If Liu Zhengtao can continue to control the overall situation, Fu Chen can return to Sifang Island in two years. If Liu Zhengtao can't, and is not as good as Zhang Wenjun, then we can only go to Beihai."
"Dad..." Fu Weiguo was embarrassed, "Meilan is really a good girl. If Fu Chen missed Meilan, he might never meet someone he likes in his life."
Mr. Fu shook his head and sighed, "I know you don't want to disappoint Fu Chen, but sometimes the reality is so cruel. I won't allow anyone to affect the Fu family's path to success! Two years later, if the Liu family is fine, we'll hold a wedding for the two of them. If the Liu family fails, then... you know, there's always a trade-off."
Fu Weiguo was speechless. He knew that it was not easy to keep the Fu family's current position, and it was even more difficult to strive for a higher position. This was not walking on a single-plank bridge, but walking on a tightrope!
"Dad, wait until Fu Chen comes back, then you can tell me." Fu Weiguo requested, "I'm afraid Fu Chen won't be able to bear it if I tell him over the phone."
"Okay, I say, I'll be the villain." Mr. Fu was very calm. At his age, he has seen a lot and his heart has become hardened. Since he was born in the world, he must experience the world. The Fu family and the Fu family members must work hard for the goal of the Fu family.
Fu Chen and Liu Meilan didn't know all this. Perhaps only Mr. Liu, Liu Zhengtao, and Professor Xie in the entire Liu family thought of this. The richer a person's experience, the more thorough his understanding of human nature.
Liu Meilan was very busy, maintaining the fishing boat, repairing the fishing nets, and buying new fishing nets. After the boatmen had a two-day break, Liu Meilan couldn't wait to go out to sea with the fishing boats. She had to go out to sea! The bosses of those seafood restaurants often called to complain that there was no good seafood in the restaurant and that all the old customers were running away.
Liu Meilan had a lot of trivial matters at home, which made her very irritable. At this time, standing at the bow, she felt the sea breeze blowing, as if blowing away the troubles in her heart. Only on the sea did she feel unrestrained and free.
"Meilan, are we going to get off the internet?" Tang Changping asked after more than two hours.
Liu Meilan shook her head and trusted her own feelings. "The catch in the distant sea is more abundant. Let's set the net again in half an hour."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Tang Changping agreed, sat down to rest, and by the way, he used the intercom to make an appointment with Captain Chen of another boat to lower the net in half an hour.
Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, Tang Changping couldn't wait to cast his net. The last time he went out to sea, although he caught a lot of fish, the quality of the seafood was not high, and he couldn't sell it at a high price. In addition, because of the low quality, the owners of the seafood restaurants disliked it. In the past, he would rest for at least three days before going out to sea. This time, Captain Meilan couldn't wait to go out to sea in two days. I knew that Captain Meilan and Manager Tang were very anxious.
Two hours later, Liu Meilan yawned and came out of the lounge, "Uncle Tang, set up the net!"
"Okay!" Tang Changping agreed and quickly got up to work. Xu Kaifa in the rudder cabin quickly contacted Captain Chen and asked them to raise the net.
All the boatmen came over and stared at the fishing nets that were gradually emerging from the water.
"The net burst." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly, "Let Meilan untie the net later. I want to see what good fish we can catch today."
Liu Meilan already knew about this, so she couldn't let him down. "Okay, may Mazu bless us, may the Dragon King bless us."
After it was hoisted onto the deck, Liu Meilan stepped forward to untie the net. The seafood fell from the net with a crackling sound. Everyone was too busy to care about anything else and came up to take a look. Even Xu Kaifa hurried over from the rudder cabin to take a look. "Oh my, what a good thing! It's Qinggan, this is good stuff." (Photo)
Zhou Ze frowned, "Uncle Tang, this Qinggan looks a lot like tuna."
Tang Changping replied excitedly: "Qinggan is Qinggan tuna, one of the eight species of tuna, and has many common names. This fish has a very distinctive feature, with several light-colored oval spots on its chest and abdomen. The price is also quite good."
While Tang Changping was explaining, other boatmen had already started sorting.
The small ones weigh 7-8 jin, and the big ones weigh 20-30 jin. This net has more than 3 tons, more than 7,000 jin. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, it can still be sold for 20 yuan per jin.
This net can be sold for 140,000.
If it is before the Mid-Autumn Festival, such fish can be sold for 25-30 yuan per catty and can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan more.
Especially the Japanese restaurant, which uses this to make sashimi, the taste is particularly good. After all, hundreds of kilograms of bluefin tuna are very rare and not available every day.
However, the bluefin tuna is easier to obtain. Even if you can't buy it at the Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company, you can still purchase it from other places.
Zhou Ze worked harder after hearing this, "This is a really good fish! But we caught a cigar before, which is similar to this fish." (Picture)
Tang Changping laughed, "There are often fish that look alike in the sea, but they differ greatly in taste and price, and some are even worlds apart. The taste of the yanzai can't compare to this, and the price is even less! Be sure to remember this feature so you can tell them apart next time you see them."
"Got it, Uncle Tang!" Zhou Ze originally thought that he had been on the boat for so long that he knew a lot of fish, but now it seems that there is still a lot to learn.
"These fish are good, but like the bluefin and yellowfin tuna, they all need to be bled! Everyone works on an assembly line. Two people are left to sort, while the others start bleeding, and the other two send the bled fish to the cold storage."
Zhou Ze and Wu Yong quickly said, "We have strong hands, so we will be responsible for transporting them to the fish hold!"
Two female boatmen, Sister Zhao and Sister Zhang, sat on small stools, using knives to kill the fish and drain their blood.
Although this job is bloody, it is relatively less tiring.
Seeing Wu Yong and Zhou Ze doing the hard work, Tang Changping had a better impression of them.
This is how a boatman on a fishing boat should be. Those with more strength should do the work that requires strength, and those with less strength should do the lighter work.
Likewise, these light tasks do not necessarily mean they are easy. Take bleeding of bluefin tuna for example. Finding the spot and bleeding quickly with just one cut is something that only experienced boatmen can do quickly and well.
Sister Zhao and Sister Zhang are both experienced people. They have done a lot of this kind of work and can handle it faster.
The boatmen understand, cooperate and care for each other, so that they can stand together through thick and thin on a boat.
Tang Changping had been on many fishing boats before, but he had never seen such unity among the boatmen on a fishing boat like Liu Meilan's.
Ultimately, it is because Captain Liu Meilan is a very good person, she cares about the boatmen, and the wages and commissions she pays are far higher than those of the local boatmen.
In a family, the one who is responsible for earning money to support the family has more say.
Anyway, Tang Changping felt that he lived a very good life at home. His wife thought that he had worked very hard on the ship, so when he got home, she didn't let him do any housework at all, and served him comfortably. She would cook his favorite dishes every day, and drink a little wine with him, so he lived a happy life.
Mrs. Chen looked at the watch on her wrist. It was time to cook. "Meilan, I saw two pieces of pork over there. The skin has a hole in it. It looks bad. How about using Qinggan to cook lunch today?"
Liu Meilan readily agreed, "Since they are already in bad condition, we can't sell them at a high price. Just take these two and the other one. We can fry them, stew them, or make sashimi!"
Mrs. Chen smiled cheerfully, "Since you said so, I'll do it all. It doesn't take any time anyway, it's very quick."
"Then I'll leave it to Sister Chen." Liu Meilan smiled and swallowed her saliva. She felt a little hungry. She wanted to finish the work right away and then eat.
Mrs. Chen first chopped the two fish into pieces, stewed one portion, made one portion into seared tuna slices, and the last portion into sashimi.
Finally, I cooked a pot of seaweed, shrimp and winter melon soup. At this time, the tuna on the deck was processed, the deck was rinsed, and everyone washed up and came to eat.
Mrs. Chen made the pan-fried tuna with some black pepper, which added a spicy aroma to the fish and blended well with the freshness of the fish. Adding some garlic made it taste even better. Liu Meilan liked it very much and ate a lot.
The braised green snapper has not only the salty flavor of soy sauce, but also the sweetness of sugar.
Sugar not only forms an attractive caramel color on the surface of the fish, increasing the color and appetite of the dish, but its sweetness blends with the salty and fresh taste of soy sauce and the fresh fragrance of fish, achieving a moderate sweet and salty, harmonious and wonderful taste balance, making the taste more rounded and full, and deeply loved by everyone.
Finally, I have to talk about the bluefin tuna sashimi.
Green bluefin tuna has just the right amount of fat and a delicate fat layer, which makes it not greasy in taste, but also has a rich and tender texture. Its meat is relatively firm and has a certain elasticity. When chewing, you can feel the toughness and chewiness of the fish meat.
In short, today's lunch was quite good. Not only Liu Meilan ate well, but everyone else ate well too.
Liu Meilan praised, "Sister Chen, your cooking skills have improved!"
"Of course." Mrs. Chen smiled proudly, "I have read a lot of books, including recipes. Now I have some delicious ingredients just caught from the sea, so it's time for me to practice. I didn't expect to be able to cook so well. When I can't work on the fishing boat anymore, I will open a small shop or set up a stall to sell fish balls. The ones I made at home last time tasted good. Next time I bring them to the boat, I will treat everyone to fried fish balls."
