Survive through the ancient apocalypse

The three nets are all squid, and there are very few other fish.

After Father Ye and the others lowered the fishing nets twice, they helped Ye Mingze's boat.Looking at the squid in a cabin, several people were very helpless.These can only be eaten at home, fresh varieties, it will be difficult to sell them for a while.

Although it was a bit regrettable, Father Ye and his party still rowed home cheerfully with the corners of their mouths flying.

When they returned to Yejia Village, there were already many people around the small pier.Most of them are watching the excitement. After the autumn harvest, everyone is idle, and people will join in wherever there is excitement.There are many taboos about launching a new boat.It is believed here that the condition of the first voyage will foretell the harvest to come.If such a big ship returns empty, it will be a big joke.

The other smallest fishing boats can be directly towed ashore without docking.Ye Mingze can't do this, he has to dock at the small pier.

It's going to be cold, no problem going out to sea during the day.In summer, most people go fishing at night, and they have to go to towns and counties to sell fish before dawn the next day, otherwise the fish will stink when they go to sea during the day.

As soon as the boat docked, Ye Mingze picked up a crate of pomfret and was the first to get off the fishing boat, followed closely by Jiang Jingzhi.At the pier, most of the Ye family had arrived, seeing them carrying things off the boat, they stepped forward to help.

Ye Mingze: "Mother, there are not enough baskets, and there are still many unpacked baskets. You and your brother will go home and get more."

"Oh, oh, okay." Jiang has been married for more than 20 years, and has never seen a boat that has so much harvest.

Others watched the baskets being moved out one after another, jealous and envious, with all sorts of expressions on their faces.

"Hey, why are they all squids?" Some people found that most of the people who moved out later were squids, and they finally felt a lot more balanced.

"Let me just say, Ye Linfu's family is lucky this year, if it's all pomfret this time, wouldn't it make a lot of money?" Another psychologically unbalanced.

"Even if the squid at the back is removed, the pomfret that was brought out alone weighs several hundred catties, and is worth at least one or two taels of silver. Wouldn't it be a small fortune?"

"Look at the momentum, Lin Fu's family is going to send out!" The old men were clear in their hearts.

"Yeah, his family is getting better and better." The old man who spoke was quite envious, and when he thought about his family, it was simply incomparable.

Soon, Jiang Shi and Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingze returned to the pier with a stack of baskets.

This time I gained a lot, many people who were close to the Ye family came to help, and it took two or three times to pull the car to finish.

The pomfret was taken back to Ye's house, and most of the squid were taken to Jiang's house, and Ye's family only kept a small part to eat fresh.

Everyone in Yejia Village was very moved, especially some knowledgeable ones.This time it was bad luck, most of them were squid, who can guarantee that it is not other fish next time?The species is not important, what is important is that nearly two thousand catties of fish can be caught at one time.This has never happened in Yejia Village.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi tidied up a bit, and went into the room to discuss what to do with the fish they caught in the future.Although this boat belongs to Jiang Jingzhi, it is impossible for them to ignore the Ye family at all.With so many people in the village watching, Ye Mingze didn't think about himself, but also about his parents.This place is no different from those rich families. It is common for a daughter-in-law to subsidize her mother-in-law's dowry. If you are unlucky, if you meet a more excellent mother-in-law, even if you don't want to give the dowry, she will find a way to force you to give it.Over the years, not only have they not accumulated a private house, but there are many people who use dowry to pay back.

Of course, Jiang Jingzhi's situation is different. Except for Wen's family, the Ye family will complain a little, and the aunts murmur, at least no one will covet it on the surface.The problem is that here, although the daughter-in-law's dowry is private property and not counted in the public house, it will be counted in Ye Mingze's small family.In the village, how can husband and wife property be so clearly divided?It is simply unreasonable for them not to show some filial piety to the elders in the family.

In this kind of matter, Ye Mingze and his wife couldn't take the initiative to speak up, and the room was very quiet.In fact, Jiang Jingzhi didn't have much idea about money.Even when he came to Yejia Village, he was not short of money, so naturally he didn't care much about these catches.

After a brief silence, it was Ye Mingze who spoke first. He knew Jiang Jingzhi fairly well and knew that he was not that stingy.

"Respectfully, every time you go to sea to harvest, share a part of the family, don't give too much, just eat as much as you can. It's impossible to sell it, so as not to get used to their habit of getting something for nothing."

"Okay, you can arrange it!" Although Jiang Jingzhi didn't care much about these things, he was still a little excited that Ye Mingze would take his thoughts into consideration before making a decision.

After making a decision, Ye Mingze immediately told Mr. Ye: "Grandpa, keep these for home, don't save."

"Well, Mingze, you've done a good job." Mr. Ye is an old man, seeing this posture, how could he not understand Ye Mingze's meaning.In this regard, he agrees very much.Looking at the crate of pompano that Ye Mingze took out, it weighed at least twenty catties, the second grandson and the couple are not stingy!The Ye family's family background is pretty good, and when they usually catch fish, they are seldom willing to eat it at home, and basically sell it in the county town.These can be eaten open for several days.It looks like everyone in the family will be happy in the future.

After negotiating with Mr. Ye, Ye Mingze and his wife came to Jiang's house and began to deal with the squid.He plans to dry them all into dried squid, half with salt and half without.

It is not difficult to make dried squid. Cut it open from the abdomen, take out the internal organs, spine, eyes, and things similar to teeth, and then clean up the things on the squid's whiskers, and then hang it to dry for about two days.

After Ye Mingze demonstrated, Qin Ma and the others got started very quickly, even doing better than Ye Mingze.No way, women have a natural advantage in this regard.

"Mother, auntie, why are you here?" Ye Mingze raised his head and caught sight of them, followed by girls from the two families.

"I just finished my work, so I'll come and have a look when I have time. Is there anything we can do to help?" The aunt knew that the second nephew had a clear grievance, and helping him would only benefit the family, not harm.

"Okay, it's very simple, you do as Mother Qin did." Speaking of this, Ye Mingze remembered that there was not enough salt at home to dry so many squid, and he happened to go to the city to buy some tomorrow.

In the past, Ye Mingze didn't go into the kitchen and didn't have to deal with salt, but now that he came into contact with it unexpectedly, it reminded him that salt is a precious thing here, it costs twenty or thirty yuan a catty, even more expensive than pork.He knew how to dry sea salt, but this time he couldn't make it in time, so he had to make less salty dried squid.

That night, stir-fried squid and steamed pomfret appeared on the table of the Ye family, and the whole family feasted on it.Especially the stir-fried squid, which is especially popular with children. A plate of dishes with a few chopsticks per person will be gone in a blink of an eye, and they all yell that they haven't eaten enough.

Hehe, among other things at home, there is no shortage of squid.It's still fresh now, so don't eat it every day in the future, you'll get tired of it.

The next day, Ye Mingze asked his father to send some fish to his married eldest sister, two aunts and grandparents.This is the rule here, and this treatment is only available to new ships when they go to sea for the first time.In the future, we will no longer follow the rules and only give gifts based on close relationship.

When he came out this time, Ye Mingze brought Jiang Jingzhi with him.He has been recuperating at home and hasn't gone out for a long time.

Yangshan County is still the same, only a few streets are more lively.Today is a big fair, and there are people coming and going in the West Market, all of them are farmers going to the market.

Ye Mingze and the others went to the seafood wholesale market, which is at the innermost part of the West Market.Of course, there are also retail sales here, and the outermost part of the fish market is full of scattered sellers.

Yangshan County is close to the sea, so there is no shortage of fish here.The fish market has a large volume of shipments, and of course the locals alone cannot consume so much.Most of the people who come and go here are foreign merchants. The wholesale price of marine fish is only three to five yuan, and it can be sold inland at least to more than ten yuan.Some perishable ones can even cost tens of pennies.The profit margin is large, and the risk is naturally not low.Those who have no ability to withstand pressure dare not do this job.

The smell of the fish market is very strong, even Ye Mingze is not used to it, let alone Jiang Jingzhi.

"Be patient this time, let Mingxi and Mingjiang come with Uncle Zhang next time." Ye Mingze patted Jiang Jingzhi's shoulder to comfort him.

Jiang Jingzhi signaled that he was fine, but his frowning showed that he was not feeling well right now.

Before coming, Ye Mingze divided pomfret into three grades according to their size, extra large, extra small and normal.The middle grades are the same as usual, four coins a catty, two coins for the small ones, and six coins for the big ones.

Father Ye found the place familiarly, put on a posture, and started yelling.Shipping has never been under Ye Mingze's control. This is the first time he has visited the scene in person, and it feels special.

In the market, there are many types of sea fish, most of which are in the sea, and many stalls also sell shrimp, crab, shellfish and sea vegetables.Seeing that he couldn't help, Ye Mingze took Jiang Jingzhi to the fish market.

Ye Mingze didn't get any shrimps or crabs during the sea trip this time, so Ye Mingze simply bought one.There is no shortage of small fish and shrimps at home, but this kind of big ones are rarely eaten, and he is also a little greedy.

Although Jiang Jingzhi is not used to the taste here, he still enjoys watching it.There are very few fresh seafood in the imperial capital, and most of the seafood he can eat are dried products, which taste different from fresh seafood.In the few months here, I have eaten a lot of fresh fish and shrimp.

After Ye Mingze bought some more seafood, he put the things in Father Ye's place, and dragged Jiang Jingzhi out of the fish market to stroll around the West Market.

West Market is full of people, and it is inevitable that it is the first big gathering after the autumn harvest.On days when there is no market, the flow of people here will be much less.

After looking at it for a while, I found that all the items sold were odds and ends that I had at home.Ye Mingze was not very interested, so he simply took Jiang Jingzhi to the grocery store to buy salt.

The grocery store is much cleaner than the West Market.The two walked slowly, visiting the store from time to time, and occasionally buying something they were interested in or didn't have at home, but they were quite content.

It was not easy to produce salt in the Daxing Dynasty. The price in grocery stores was 25 renminbi a catty, which was quite reasonable, and in some places it was even sold for more than [-] renminbi.Ye Mingze bought about ten catties, which is almost enough for this time.
