On the way back to the city, the little goldfish still couldn't forget the lunch meal.
Mainly because the crispy rice is so fragrant, the fish soup is great, and the sausages are endlessly memorable.
As a result, after an afternoon passed, her belly was still a little round.
Today’s catch was more than last week, with hundreds of fish, weighing at least two hundred kilograms. Including the big turtle, more than two hundred kilograms were lost.
Pushing the trolley back to the city, Zhou Jimin learned the lesson this time and pushed the catch directly to the cotton mill.
When the doorman of the cotton mill, Dong, saw the five brothers and sisters of Zhou Jimin pushing a trolley, he stood up in shock and said:
"Little comrade, why is it you again? Did you catch so many fish again?"
Lao Dong was deeply impressed by what happened to the five brothers and sisters last week and will naturally not forget it.
Others calculate their fishing catch by how many fish they catch, but these five brothers and sisters calculate it directly by how many kilograms they catch.
"Yes, could you please tell Director Zhong? Ask him if he will accept the fish? I have a total of more than two hundred kilograms here today, and a giant turtle weighing seven or eight kilograms."
Zhou Jimin smiled and took out a box of large front doors from his satchel and handed it over directly.
Different from last time, this time I have something to ask for, so I have to be able to do things.
In 1958, a pack of Zhonghua without filter cost 6 cents, Peony cost 5 cents and 2 cents, Qunying cost 4 cents and 7 cents, Daqianmen cost 40 cents, and large production cost 3 cents and 2 cents.
There are also Yingchun, Red Rose, Economy and other brands of cigarettes, all of which cost 20 cents or less.
But most of the old smokers are cigarettes.
Therefore, in terms of price and grade, this pack of cigarettes from Daqianmen is already very good.
After taking it, Lao Dong looked at it and immediately exclaimed.
"Hey, little comrade, you are really willing to give up, but I can't be greedy. I will just take one and wait."
As he said this, Lao Dong took out a large front door and pinned it behind his ears.
Then he stuffed the rest back into Zhou Jimin and walked into the cotton spinning factory.
Such an honest and upright doorman made Zhou Jimin feel good about him.
In the canteen office of the cotton spinning factory, Old Dong knocked on the door and walked in.
"Director Zhong, that little comrade came last week. This time there were more than two hundred kilograms of fish. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Little comrade?" Director Zhong remembered it quickly, and heard Old Dong say that the other party also had a big turtle.
Yes, hurry up and take a look.
Arriving at the gate of the cotton spinning factory, Director Zhong saw the cart next to Zhou Jimin and his brothers and sisters from a long distance away, and his eyes lit up.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, you five brothers and sisters are so powerful, and you managed to get such a fish out of your way?"
"Haha, it's just a fluke."
After exchanging pleasantries with the other party, Zhou Jimin went straight to the point and asked the other party if he wanted these fish.
It was almost getting dark at this time. If the other party didn't want it, he could only try his luck at the vegetable market.
Director Zhong waved his hand and said he wanted them all.
"Thank you, Director Zhong. I'll keep two five-pound grass carp, and the rest of the fish will be at the same price as last time. How about that?"
"Haha, yes, it's settled." Director Zhong changed his tone and asked about the big turtle again.
The price of the giant soft-shell turtle is difficult to determine. Director Zhong’s eyes lit up when he saw it and he directly gave the price ten yuan.
Calculated based on this price, it is one dollar and two hundred and fifty cents per catty.
This price is almost the price of an old hen.
However, Director Zhong does not suffer any loss.
After all, giant soft-shelled turtles are a great tonic and are generally hard to get.
This era is not like later generations, and there is talk of artificial breeding, but basically they are purely wild.
The transaction was completed quickly. Before leaving, Director Zhong also said that if there is any catch or meat in the future, just push it forward and he will buy it at the market price.
These words made Zhou Jimin a little happy, and Zhou Shuqing and the others were even happier.
Because this is almost an additional stable source of income.
But the problem is, there can't be so many fish in the river.
However, this is not a question that they should think about. Anyway, it is just once a week. If I gain it, I will lose my life.
As a person, you should be more optimistic.
"Brother, this money is really good. This time we made another fifty-one yuan and two cents."
On the way home, the third child grinned happily.
Although the money is not in his hands, the income is also due to his contribution, so he has a sense of accomplishment.
Shaking his head, Zhou Jimin did not refute anything. He carried two big fish and pushed the cart, and suddenly said at the fork in the road:
"Xiao Qing, you take them back first, and I'll send the cart back and give these two fish as a gift. There should be some rice at home, so you can cook first when you get back, and leave the dishes to me."
"Okay, brother, please pay attention to your safety."
"Don't worry, you guys should also slow down."
The little goldfish turned back three times in one step and waved his little hand vigorously, very reluctantly.
After they left, Zhou Jimin pushed the trolley to a deserted alley. A few minutes later, carrying two fish and a hare, he walked towards Ding Qiunan's house.
On Tuesday, he went to her house, but she was not there.
Because her family has a large population and the home is small, she basically lives in the school dormitory.
Only on weekends would she go home and spend the night together.
At that time, Zhou Jimin had an awkward chat with Ding Qiunan's parents for a long time and agreed to go to her house this Sunday.
When we arrived at the courtyard, every household was having dinner, and the sky was completely dark.
"Uncle Ding, Auntie, Qiu Nan, hello. The fish I just caught today happened to be too much for our family to eat, so I sent it over. I hope you don't dislike it."
It is impossible to dislike it. These days, every household is short of meat.
Having enough food and clothing is what everyone wants.
"Well, hello to everyone. You came as soon as you said you would. Why did you bring so much meat?"
Ding's mother said angrily and warmly invited Zhou Jimin to sit down for dinner.
Their family has just started dinner, and the table is full of steamed buns, a shredded potato, a Chinese cabbage, and a dried radish, all of which are vegetarian.
If there was meat, it would be the cabbage stir-fried with some pork dregs, but Zhou Jimin's sharp eyes could only see two tiny pieces of meat.
Maybe this is dinner for ordinary families in this era.
Like Zhou Jimin's family, they eat fine grains every day and have a variety of meats. The diet structure is almost the same as that of later generations. It is probably the only one.
Zhou Jimin resisted for a while and was forced to sit down and eat with a bowl.
I also deliberately ate three steamed buns. Although it was difficult to chew, if you don't eat it, you are looking down on the owner. Only eating much more delicious food can show respect for the owner.
During this period, Ding’s mother also specially fried a plate of bacon and served it to the table.
Let Zhou Jimin be flattered.
Ding Qiunan's legs are already in a state of recovery.
When I saw Zhou Jimin, I was a little happy, but I was too shy and didn't speak the whole time.
It all depends on her parents chatting with Zhou Jimin.
As for her younger brothers and sisters, they are no different from her and have become quails.
Especially her sister, with her little face buried in her chest, peeking at Zhou Jimin from time to time. When he looked over, she was like a frightened deer, so scared that she quickly hid.
