Chapter 44: Isn’t it said that it is very educated?


    Zhou Chenglei directly carried Jiang Xia away from the beach before putting her down, then took her home, and took out Yunnan Baiyao to apply medicine to her.


    Jiang Xia said: "Just use red medicine. The medicine powder is almost used up, don''t waste it. You still need medicine on your arm."


    His arm wound was deeper.


    Zhou Chenglei didn''t say anything, and he sprinkled the medicine powder on her naked wounds on her knees and feet without any money.


    After that, he stood up: "I''ll go to the beach to sell the shrimps. You sit at home and don''t walk around."


    Jiang Xia couldn''t help but say, "When did I walk around?"


    Zhou Chenglei didn''t say anything. She didn''t seem to be walking around, but...


    I don’t know what to say, but he just thinks she is quite disobedient.


    Jiang Xia didn''t bother with him: "Sell the shrimp, the green clothes, and the valuable ones in the bucket. You see, all the valuable ones have been sold. Don''t sell the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clams."


    Zhou Chenglei responded and walked out, picking up all the cicada shrimps and green eels caught in Jiangxia''s bucket into his bucket. He didn''t plan to sell the other big conch, except for the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clams. It was the Emperor Tang Guansnail. It was such a big one, and I don''t know if there were any pearls inside.


    Jiang Xia didn''t sell the crabs he picked up. She liked to eat them. He also picked up a few crabs. It happened that he ate early for dinner today. He steamed them with the cicada shrimp for her to eat at night.


    What is left are some white shells, blood clams, oysters, 600-year-olds, etc. These are not valuable, so they will not be sold. Then they will get some sea water and keep it for their own food.


    After Zhou Chenglei sorted it, he carried the big hairtail fish with the bucket and snakeskin bag and pushed the cart out.


    It’s already dark, and Jiang Xia probably won’t be back so soon.


    She walked out to burn hot water and planned to wash her hair and take a shower.


    Jiang Xia walked out and saw the cicada shrimp in the bucket and several crabs. It was obviously left for her to eat, because only she liked to eat crabs.


    Oysters, green mouths and other shellfish were placed on the ground and piled up in a small pile. The oysters were not big.


    The big conch and orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam were not sold either.


    Jiang Xia felt a little hungry and had supper before 4 o''clock in the afternoon. It was past seven o''clock now.


    White porridge was boiled in the coal stove, which was made by Zhou’s mother. I don’t know if it was kept for dinner or breakfast tomorrow.


    Jiang Xia thought they would be hungry when they came back after work, so she simply opened some oysters and had oysters, shrimp, crab and seafood porridge.


    Mr. Jiang Xia burned the water and then opened the oysters.


    Just as a small plate of oysters were produced and the cicada shrimps and crabs were processed, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou''s father brought back two baskets of shrimps.


    Jiang Xia was surprised when she saw this, "Why don''t you sell it?"


    Zhou’s mother: “There are many people selling shrimp today. The acquisition office said it was too late and it was not new tomorrow. The price given was too low. A Lei said he would take it back and dry it and sell it.”


    When Jiang Xia heard this, he said, "There are not much dry here, why don''t we buy the rest of the village?"


    Zhou Chenglei was moving the shrimps from the cart down and looked at her.


    Zhou''s father smiled and said, "Xiao Xia''s idea coincides with A Lei''s."


    Zhou''s mother said with some pain: "A Lei, your elder brother, grandma and several families told me to collect their shrimps. It is five cents more expensive than the purchaser''s office to collect them."


    If you don’t make money, it’s more expensive than the acquisition office to collect it for five cents per pound.


    The prodigal son is so generous, and Zhou’s mother feels heartbroken.


    Jiang Xia said, "It doesn''t matter, you can earn it back after it is dried."


    Zhou’s mother: “You are the same as Ah Lei. But after drying it, you have to take it out to the market in the city to sell it. It’s not easy to sell in the town, so it’s so troublesome.”


    Zhou’s mother thought that it would be fine if she didn’t sell her shrimp, at least she would not lose money. She couldn’t sell it after drying it, and would not waste it when she was eaten slowly. However, it was not cost-effective to buy other people’s shrimps, and if she couldn’t sell it, she would lose money.


    And the weather is not good, who knows that the sun will not come out tomorrow. If the shrimps don’t dry out, they will smell bad, and they will lose a lot.


    Zhou’s father: “When the time comes, I will dry some dried fish and don’t have to go out to sea, just sell them together. Why are you worried about so much?”


    Jiang Xia also felt that, she didn''t answer the conversation and changed the topic: "The hot water is ready, mom, go and take a shower. I''ll cook oyster and shrimp porridge for a while."


    Since the shrimps are not sold, she put a few more shrimps into the porridge, which makes the porridge sweeter. Zhou’s mother: “Not to wash it for now. The hot water is ready. I will use the shrimps to dry them.”


    Zhou’s mother did it as soon as she said she could do it. She was afraid of stench.


    Jiang Xia also took a pound of shrimp and washed it with boiled water. Put it in the porridge. More shrimp porridge will be sweeter.


    Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia''s knees, but she had put down her trouser legs and couldn''t see them. She didn''t say anything else. She moved two baskets of shrimp into the kitchen and poured them into two large iron pots in batches.


    Zhou’s mother had already divided the moisture from a large iron pot into two iron pots.


    They passed the shrimps through hot water and spread them dry. Jiang Xia also prepared the porridge and asked them to eat them first and then dry them.


    The family was actually hungry and they all held a bowl of porridge to eat.


    Jiang Xia gave Zhou Zhou a bowl of porridge with many shrimps, oysters, crabs and many porridges, and asked Zhou Chenglei: "Why don''t you sell the remaining big conch?"


    Zhou Chenglei: "That conch is the Emperor Tang Guansnail. Like the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam, you have the chance to produce pearls."


    Jiang Xia porridge was no longer eaten, so he immediately went out to take the big conch and clam back to the room first.


    After a while, someone came to sell shrimps.


    Although I don’t know if there are any pearls, if someone takes them away, I must feel that there must be a pearly pain inside.


    At this time, Zhou''s mother shouted in the yard: "A Lei, someone is here to send shrimps! Come out quickly."


    Zhou Chenglei responded, hurriedly finished the porridge, went back to the room and took out a stack of change from the iron box to Jiang Xia: "You will be responsible for settlement for the villagers later, and there are 150 yuan here. It''s not enough. You can come in and get it in the box at that time."


    "Okay." Jiang Xia took it.


    Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei hurried out.


    Jiang Xia first went to find a plastic webbing hand-held vegetable basket to hold the change and put it on his arm, which was very convenient.


    Several villagers came to the yard, and each of them had half a bucket of shrimp in their buckets.


    Wen Wan stood behind several villagers with two snakeskin bags.


    After she fell into the water, she went home to change her clothes and came to sell shrimps.


    She glanced at the bowl of porridge in Zhou''s mother''s hand, including shrimps, oysters and crabs, and swallowed her saliva unconsciously.


    The Zhou family is really rich and the food is so good.


    No wonder Jiang Xia didn''t leave after returning from rebirth and even got the family separated.


    Zhou’s father had prepared the scale, and he and Zhou Chenglei were responsible for weighing shrimps.


    Pan Daidi was the first to rush out with a bucket and said, "Focus mine first!"


    Zhou Chenglei first weighed her, and half a bucket of shrimp was not enough. After weighing it, he removed the weight of the bucket: "One pound and six taels."


    Pan Daidi: "Why are there so few? Is your scale accurate?"


    Zhou Chenglei: "If you don''t think it''s accurate, you can go to the acquisition office to sell it."


    Pan Daidi: "Forget it, forget it, I''m too lazy to mess around, give it money! How much? Who can calculate it for me?"


    A gentle and sweet voice sounded: "Three cents and five cents and five cents and six cents per pound."


    All the villagers were still calculating, but they didn''t expect Wen Wan to calculate it so soon.


    Someone praised: "Xiaowan really knows how to calculate."


    There is a girl in the village, Zhou Min, who is Wen Wan’s classmate and her friend. After hearing this, she said, “Awan is the best student in our school. She is the first in the school every exam. Of course, it’s great to calculate.”


    After saying that, she also glanced at Jiang Xia: "But sister-in-law Jiang Xia should be more powerful in calculating! After all, she came from the city and should be more educated."


    Pan Daidi thought that Jiang Xia ignored her last time and immediately said, "Yes, A Lei''s wife didn''t come from the city. Isn''t it said she is very educated? Such a small number has not been calculated?"
