165. After a long time, you will not be able to tell whether you like it or are obsessed with it.
After dinner, Li Xiaozhong, you don’t have the path I want to take.
This time I didn’t meet the same driver like last time. Although there aren’t many Didi drivers in the town, they really weren’t that few.
After all, like last time, the chance of meeting the same driver consecutively is too low.
Ordinary novels cannot be written like this. Once written, they will definitely be scolded. Only those third-rate novels can write such bloody plots.
Only halfway through the journey, Li Xiao's cell phone rang. When he picked up the call, he found it was from his second uncle, and he quickly pressed the connect button.
The hearty laughter of my second uncle came from the other side of the receiver.
"Why do you have to go out just after you come back? Are you not used to living here?"
In fact, the second uncle looks careless, but in fact he is still very careful.
He had been worried that Li Xiao had been studying in a big city for several years and still worked in a big city and would not be used to it when he came back to the countryside.
So he actually changed into a new quilt and new sheets, just because he was afraid that Li Xiao would find the things in the house too old-fashioned.
Today he deliberately went home early and saw that Li Xiao, who was supposed to be at home, had actually gone out.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking that Li Xiao didn't like staying at home, so he asked the nervous question in a joking tone.
After all, all jokes are just cowardly temptations.
Just like saying "I love you" on April Fool's Day will always be more sincere than saying "I love you" on Valentine's Day.
Li Xiao was a rather careless person and didn't notice his uncle's careful probing at all.
He said directly
"How can this be possible? I have lived here for more than ten years, how can I not get used to it?"
"It's only a few days away. I'm going to promote my second uncle and third uncle's seafood and dry goods. I'll warm it up here first."
"So I went out to the town to shoot some material, and then made a live broadcast."
After hearing Li Xiao's explanation, his second uncle, Liang Jintang, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that so? It's really hard on you. I asked you to work everywhere just after you got off the plane."
"I asked your second aunt to cook something good for you tonight. I got a lot of good things today."
Li Xiao said politely
"How can this be hard? I'm used to doing live broadcasts every day, and there's a lot of money just for live broadcasts. How can I be tired if I earn money?"
The two chatted for a while before Li Xiao hung up the phone.
The Didi car arrived at the destination not long after driving. Before he got off the car, he saw his second uncle waiting on the roadside.
Click to pay, quickly open the door, and get off the car. Li Xiao looked embarrassed. Speaking of which, didn't I just tell you on the phone that I could just go home? Why are you waiting for me on the roadside and asking my elders to wait on the roadside? How is this okay?
Liang Jintang pulled the backpack containing the camera from Li Xiao's back and looked up and down at the nephew he hadn't seen for a long time.
He smiled very happily
"It seems from the first glance that you are living a good life in a big city. Your skin is whiter than before, and your body is stronger. It's great. I heard your mother said before that you can make a lot of money in a month by doing that live broadcast?"
Li Xiao didn't mean to hide it. The relationship between the several families was very good and they were all close relatives. He nodded and said
"It's pretty good. You can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per live broadcast."
In fact, Li Xiao can now earn not only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per live broadcast, but sometimes 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Like just now, if a wealthy person continues to reward me, it will probably reach 100,000 yuan.
This is the income after deducting the platform share. You can imagine how much money Li Xiao can earn from a live broadcast now.
But he didn't dare to tell his family clearly. After all, the amount was too big. They had been living in the countryside, and the salary income they could expect in their lifetime was only tens of thousands or ten thousand a month.
Moreover, their acceptance of live broadcasts is actually very low. If he said that he could earn hundreds of thousands from a live broadcast, he would probably scare them to death.
However, he still overestimated his second uncle's ability to accept it. When he heard the number reported by Li Xiao, Liang Jintang's just-raised foot froze in mid-air and did not fall down for a long time.
He swallowed, mechanically looked back at his nephew who had a relaxed look on his face, hesitated for a while, and finally asked after being driven by curiosity.
"How much? My second uncle is a little deaf and couldn't hear clearly."
Li Xiaoxiao seemed to have reported too much income.
But the words had already been spoken, and he was too lazy to change them, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle, you heard me right, I can earn 20,000 yuan from a live broadcast here, and sometimes I can earn 30,000 yuan."
.
Liang Jintang swallowed when he heard the numbers reported by Li Xiao.
This number is indeed a bit scary. Their family works hard fishing, selling fish, and driving to deliver goods.
For three people combined, the maximum monthly income is more than 20,000.
He simply couldn't imagine how someone could earn a month's income for his family by working just a few hours.
He was a little worried that his nephew had gone astray. He hesitated and then asked.
"My nephew, you won't be suspected of committing any crimes by doing this. If you break the law, we can't be dirty here. No matter how fast we make money, we won't feel at ease with the money we receive."
The reason why I say this is because they actually had the opportunity to make a lot of money in the past few years.
Since they are a coastal village, people have contacted them a long time ago.
If you want them to transport something out and something in, all they need to do is provide one person and a fast-moving speedboat.
They only need to simply modify the original fishing boat to fully meet the other party's requirements.
Although the other party does not need it every day, the profit from just one shipment can cover their income for one or two months.
This was a very big temptation, and no one in many nearby villages could stand it, so they all joined in.
It wasn't a big problem at first. Indeed, they made a lot of money, the other party was very happy to give them money, and the work was very difficult.
They only need to be responsible for driving the boat. As for loading and unloading, there are dedicated people to do these tasks. It can be said to be very easy. Considering the hard work of fishing, it can almost be said that you can make money while lying down.
Over time, more and more people joined, but the two brothers Liang Jintang and Liang Jinquan did not join because they knew the money did not come from the right way.
However, those who joined in the smuggling laughed at those who were still fishing honestly. After all, what they did for one day could equal the work of these wooden fish heads for a month.
However, their happy days did not last long. After about four or five months, the gang was uprooted by the Maritime Affairs Department of the Han Dynasty.
Even those who were temporarily recruited to help transport goods were all arrested.
Although they cried and said that they were wronged, you knew that the other party was carrying out illegal transportation, did not report it, and participated in it yourself. It is impossible to escape.
At that time, many people simply separated from their wives and children, because most of the people who did this were the breadwinners of the family.
Many people are still in there undergoing ideological remolding and have not been released.
So when Liang Jintang heard that his nephew could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for one live broadcast, he immediately remembered this long-standing thing.
Li Xiao saw his second uncle's worry and quickly took out his cell phone to show him the replay of this morning's live broadcast.
When the second uncle saw that someone would reward tens of thousands of yuan to buy a bird, he was relieved. It turns out that there are really such stupid people willing to do such a thing.
Putting the phone back into his nephew's hand, Liang Jintang gasped and looked at the ordinary blue bird on Li Xiao's shoulder.
The corners of his mouth twitched crazily, and his fingers wanted to touch this bird worth tens of thousands, but he was afraid of damaging it.
Seeing the look of his second uncle, Li Xiao grabbed Xiaolan and threw it into his second uncle's hand. He also said:
"Don't worry it won't break. It's not that delicate."
Seeing his second uncle in a hurry, Li Xiao quickly took the camera bag from his hand.
I'm afraid that if I break the camera inside, I won't be able to complete the live broadcast tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
The two of them walked to the door of their second uncle's house, talking and laughing.
Li Xiao saw that his cousin had woken up and was helping his second aunt load the goods.
He quickly put his belongings back in the room and came outside to help.
When the second uncle saw you wanting to help, he quickly stopped you and said,
Without saying a word, he reached out and pushed Li Xiao back to the room.
The second aunt also said while helping to put the fish box with seafood in it.
"Yes, you go and take a rest. I'll wake you up when you can eat."
Li Xiao quickly waved his hand
"I helped here for several years when I was a kid. How could I not remember how to load the goods as soon as I came back from studying? Okay, okay, I'm not one of those people who can't endure hardship. You've all been busy all day, I
I’ll help you finish your things quickly, so we can all rest together.”
Seeing that Li Xiao had already lifted up his trousers and sleeves, he didn't push it off for a few years. With a smile on his face, everyone started busy loading the goods.
Although I haven't been here to help in a few years, they are all very simple tasks that Li Xiao can complete easily.
However, he was still worried, as his uncle's shipments seemed to be much less.
In the past, a minivan was almost full, but now it can only be filled half way. No wonder, my mother nags in my ear from time to time.
Normally, a family of three has to work every day, and there is basically no holiday. After all, for three people, if one of them takes a break, the other two will be even more tired. If they work hard, they will work one day a month.
With six to seven thousand talents, it can be said to be very hard work.
When the fishing moratorium comes, they have to start sorting out fishing net repair tools. Even if they have time, it is difficult to find some short-term jobs nearby, so the life of the second uncle and third uncle's family can only be described as ordinary.
So much so that his cousin, who is only two years younger than Li Xiao, has not found a suitable girlfriend yet.
After all, who wants to marry off his own daughter and suffer?
Of course, Li Xiao completely ignored it at this moment. As a cousin, he didn't need to be much better than his cousin. If he hadn't met Jiang Yingxue, he didn't know how long he would have been single.
After half an hour of busy work, the loading was completed. After all, the amount of seafood to be delivered in the afternoon was not much.
Li Xiao patted his cousin on the shoulder and told him to drive carefully.
Then I followed my second uncle and aunt back to the house, and chatted with them for a while.
Li Xiao returned to the room. He was indeed a little tired. After flying for most of the day, he conducted another live broadcast.
...........
Sure enough, the dinner was very rich, including fish, crab, abalone, and octopus.
The fish was an Eastern Star Spot. If it hadn't been too small, Li Xiao wouldn't have let his second uncle and the others kill it.
After all, the Eastern Star Spot is the favorite of many restaurants. The Eastern Star Spot is a type of grouper, which is relatively rare. Its body is covered with small white spots. From a distance, it looks like stars in the sky, so it is called the Eastern Star Spot.
The fish tastes tender and smooth, with less thorns and more meat, making it very delicious.
The fishermen on the seaside are very good at cooking seafood. After all, they are surrounded by seafood, and they eat more seafood than vegetables.
But maybe because they eat too much, the fishermen on the beach are very casual about cooking seafood, and there are no more than three types of seafood, boiled, steamed, and stir-fried.
Other cumbersome seasonings and preparations actually just make the already delicious seafood mediocre.
The fish meat of the Eastern Star Spot with beautiful star patterns is very smooth and tender, far from being comparable to the golden pomfret that only costs 20 yuan per pound at noon today.
The soup is a miscellaneous fish soup, the most common miscellaneous fish, dozens of fish in a mess, it doesn't even deserve a name.
But because it is too fresh, even if you just put it into a pan and fry it thoroughly, then boil it on high heat for ten minutes, add tofu or cabbage, you will have a pot of thick white fish soup that is so sweet that it explodes.
Li Xiao drank three large bowls of fish soup in a row, but stopped to continue filling the soup when his second uncle stopped him.
Liang Jintang said to Li Xiao angrily,
"There are so many more dishes, you'll be full just by drinking the soup."
Li Xiao laughed sarcastically.
"Second uncle, it's not like you don't know that I really like soup. I can't help it. Second aunt's cooking skills are much better than before."
The second aunt is a taciturn woman with a stout figure and an ordinary appearance. When she heard Li Xiao's compliments, he chuckled.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, now that she has grown up, her mouth is much sharper than before."
Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth,
"Work needs it, work needs it."
The second aunt nodded,
"It's good that you can talk. I don't want your brother to be like a piece of wood all day long. I don't know how to find a girlfriend for him in the future."
Li Xiao glanced at his cousin. He didn't dare to take advantage of this. He had just found a girlfriend. If the eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother, they were all brothers in trouble. He would definitely not make trouble for her.
In fact, he was very taciturn when he was a child, and he remained the same even when he grew up.
I just did a live broadcast and had no choice but to force myself to talk more in front of the camera.
However, when meeting strangers, I still instantly enter the quiet mode.
On the other hand, when I get along with familiar relatives and friends, I talk obviously more.
The abalone is not steamed as usual, but after being shelled, cut into cubes and stir-fried with ginger and green onion.
The taste is also quite good and the texture is very crisp.
The ginger and scallion sauce is not strongly seasoned, and when Li Xiao takes a bite, he can taste the very sweet abalone flavor.
In fact, people at the beach tend to use light seasoning when cooking. After all, the freshest seafood is here, and there is no need for heavy seasoning to cover up the fishy smell of stale seafood.
Octopus is very small. When alive, it is only half the size of a palm. After being cooked, it shrinks even more seriously, and is only about one-third the size of a palm.
This pot of octopus is all served with rice. The rice mentioned here is not ordinary rice but octopus.
Octopus eggs are a nutritious food, containing a large amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and riboflavin. They are also rich in cholesterol and are a good supplement and growth agent for the human brain and bone marrow.
Of course, the above is all nonsense. The reason why they eat octopus with rice is of course because it tastes good. Is it because it is nutritious?
There is an ink sac inside the octopus, but the ink sac had been cut off by my second aunt when she was cleaning it.
Although people in some places like to eat the ink sacs in octopus, it is said that the reason is that melanin-rich foods are more nutritious and healthy, such as black rice, black beans, and black sesame seeds.
However, the Li Xiao family never touches this because it is too unpalatable.
After biting the ink sac, there is a bitter smell, and the bitter smell of this ink sac will last for a long time. More importantly, this ink sac is often mixed with some finely divided sand, which is a veritable darkness.
Cuisine.
So while cleaning the cuttlefish's mouth, the second aunt also cut off the ink sac.
The method of making octopus is very simple. Add a little cooking wine or white wine to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Throw the octopus into it and wait until its limbs curl up before you can pick it up.
There are two sauce dishes on the table, one with minced garlic and one with mustard and soy sauce. Usually there are not so many sauce dishes. The main reason is that the second aunt thought that Li Xiao liked both, so she made an extra one with minced garlic.
Coincidentally, the crab I ate tonight was also orchid crab.
The method is also stir-fried with ginger and green onions, and Li Xiao can clearly feel it.
Although the oil used in Ernie's side is much less than that in today's restaurant, and the taste is not so greasy, the taste is slightly inferior to today's restaurant.
However, taking into account the heat levels of home stoves and cooking experience, in fact the second sister-in-law's skills are not much worse than those in restaurants.
Since we had to wait for my cousin to come back, the family didn't start having dinner until after 8 o'clock.
You need to take a shower and rest immediately after dinner here, because after 11 o'clock, you need to start fishing.
Li Xiao thought about it and published an announcement directly on his kitty live broadcast platform.
[Notice: I will broadcast live at 11:30 tonight, the content of the live broadcast is [Offshore Fishing], and I will also broadcast live from 6:00 to 8:00 to catch the sea. 】
The rise and fall of sea water have certain rules. Mastering the time rules of the rise and fall of sea tides is very useful to fishermen on the seaside.
On the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, the tide level reaches its highest at 6 a.m. and 18:00 p.m., and drops to its lowest at 12:00 noon and 0:00 a.m.
Then the daily high and low tide times are delayed by 48 minutes.
Of course, although Li Xiao often comes to his second uncle's house to play, he is not a fisherman on the beach.
Therefore, the reason why he was able to tell the time to catch the sea so accurately was because he relied on the small program [Tide Table Wizard] on Weixin to check the low tide time.
