Chapter 572: Collect seafood
Song Xi hurriedly transferred all the seafood to the supermarket for temporary storage.
I didn't expect the village head to be so efficient and help her collect so much seafood so quickly, but at night, I have to pretend to ship the seafood with Zhou Yi, otherwise the village head will definitely suspect where she put the seafood .
Especially these are fresh seafood, not dried seafood.
There are no fields in the small fishing village. They are all sandy and mountainous. There is nothing to grow. Even if you grow sweet potatoes and corn, the yield is very low, and the harvest is not enough for a family.
The beach has typhoons almost every year. If there is a strong typhoon, there will be no crops, and there will be no food. They can only rely on seafood to satisfy their hunger.
However, people eat too much seafood, and people don’t like seafood anymore. In addition, eating seafood alone is too nutritious, so it’s better to eat staple foods, so most of the list is sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and potatoes.
There are also fine grains, but the fine grains are less, and it should be just to improve the food occasionally.
Song Xi prepared all the things everyone needed according to the list, put them in a corner of the supermarket, and took them out after going out at night.
At night, after everyone fell asleep, Song Xi and Zhou Yi used the small cart provided by the village head, pushed the wooden bucket and left. On the roof of the supermarket, the couple dressed as 'blue cloud' and 'daytime' set off to other villages.
A small fishing village alone cannot receive much fresh seafood, because the quantity of fresh seafood cannot meet her requirements only by manually driving the sea, and the fish caught by the villagers must be handed over to the cooperative.
That's why Song Xi wants several nearby villages to collect fresh seafood for her.
Song Xi didn't know where the village chief's house was. When he came to the first house, he used a handful of white rabbit toffee to ask where the village chief's house was. After that, Song Xi and Zhou Yi went straight to the village chief. Home.
When they arrived at the village chief’s house, Song Xi and Zhou Yi didn’t waste their time, they took out a list and handed it to the village chief, and directly expressed their intentions.
They are employees of the farm in Beihu Province. They happen to have a batch of supplies in their hands and want to exchange fresh seafood with the village head. If the village head is willing, they will bring the supplies to trade every night.
At this time, there is a shortage of supplies everywhere, especially in places where they cannot be planted. The situation is even more serious. Hearing that they have supplies in their hands, the village head agreed without hesitation.
Even if they lied to him, he would give it a try.
The village head is already urgent to this extent.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi ran around several nearby villages in the same way, made deals with the village chiefs of each village, and then went back. When they were about to reach the small fishing village, they released the cart and pushed He went back with a cart of supplies, and Song Xi also pushed a bicycle, because it was too inconvenient to go out from the small fishing village.
It takes two to three hours for an ox cart. If you have bicycles, you can shorten the time by half. During the time they are here, they will use the bicycles themselves. When they leave here, they will give the bicycles to the village head. It can also be regarded as thanks to the village chief's family for taking care of them. When she sends dried seafood in the future, she can better control the quality.
The high-quality dried seafood that Xiao Qingcheng sent her was collected by the village chief from the villagers, and then exchanged supplies from Song Xi, and distributed among everyone.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xiao Qingcheng to accumulate so much dried seafood by himself.
The village chief was very excited when he saw them coming back, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the bicycle pushed by Song Xi. Song Xi patted the seat cushion of the bicycle and said, "Village chief, wait until the wedding of Xiao Qingcheng and Xue Baoli is over." Later, when we left here, the bicycle belonged to the village chief."
The village chief's eyes widened, "How can you be so embarrassing?"
"Why are you embarrassed? As long as the village chief pays more attention to what I ordered." Song Xi pushed the bicycle into the yard of the village chief's house.
Zhou Yi pushed the trolley in, and said to the village chief, "Village chief, all the supplies you want are placed in wooden barrels, please share them with everyone tomorrow, and we will go back to the room to rest first."
"I've worked hard for you today, go back to your room and rest first! I'll take you to your room tomorrow when there are fresh seafood." The village head nodded, watching Song Xi and Zhou Yi walk into the backyard, the village head excitedly put the water on the barrel. Opening the sack, the village chief was very happy to see that every barrel contained the supplies everyone needed.
The two comrades can really exchange supplies for everyone, and now he can give everyone an explanation.
At 4:00 in the morning, the fishing boat will come back. At that time, you can bring all the seafood that is not in the buying station, and see if the two comrades want it. The buying station only needs fish, and other crabs, lobsters, and snails are not required. , since the two comrades need it here, bring it back to them.
After returning to the room, Song Xi and Zhou Yi did not lie down to rest immediately, but put something behind the door, and then the two went to the roof of the supermarket to sort the seafood collected today.
Cat's-eye snails, scallops, large snails, pippi shrimp, octopus, crab, eel, large yellow croaker, grouper, sea shrimp, razor clam, sea cucumber...
There are several varieties of razor clams, such as double-headed razor clams, bamboo-jointed razor clams...there are so many types, Song Xi didn't subdivide them, and just put together a large category.
Those that are visibly alive with the naked eye are kept in a large tank with spiritual spring water, and those that are not moving are transferred to the supermarket, because the supermarket is still, and the taste will not change after a hundred years.
After feeding all the poultry raised on the roof of the supermarket, the two returned to their room and slept on the bamboo bed arranged for them by the village head's house. Moso bamboo may be abundant here, and many things in the house are made of bamboo.
Although this bed is made of bamboo, it is very strong!
Song Xi decided to ask the village head to find someone to help her make a few bamboo beds of this size, and let the children make them themselves when they are naughty in the future!
Before dawn, Song Xi heard the knocking sound coming from the window. Song Xi pushed Zhou Yi in a daze, only to find that the side was empty, and Zhou Yi was no longer there.
Song Xi remembered that Zhou Yi was a very sensitive person, and he could quickly respond to the slightest sound. Song Xi looked towards the window and saw Zhou Yi talking to the village chief through the gap in the curtains!
