Chapter 238

~7 min read 1,371 words

Most fishing enthusiasts know how pleasant it is to get goods.

Even if the fish caught are only the size of a palm, it is enough to show off.

Except for Section Commander Duan, everyone else was accustomed to Old Man Lu's "shamelessness."

One by one, they shouted for him to be responsible for processing the fresh fish and putting it on the stove to grill.

If it weren't for their poor stomachs and inability to eat raw food, the taste of sashimi would actually be good.

Those who dared to eat sashimi were local villagers, except for the taste, there was another reason, which was parasites.

Only to see the local villagers skillfully remove the fish scales, tear off the fish skin, break the internal organs, throw them away, then wash them on the spot, and then use a sharp knife to cut out the fish life.

This wasn't over yet, tinkering with wild grass everywhere, and then stirring, a dish of fish life was freshly baked.

"Do you want to eat?"

"No, no, my stomach can't stand it."

"I can't either, can't enjoy it."

"I can't eat it either."

Old Man Lu and the others waved their hands and refused.

Their stomachs really couldn't stand it.

Could only refuse the villager's kindness.

"Okay, I'll eat it. I've lived on the Sea Island for more than sixty years, and I've become an iron stomach."

The old man wasn't pretentious. Outsiders really find it hard to accept fish life.

He had eaten it for decades, and nothing happened.

If something happened, it was digested by the stomach.

In general, it was nothing. Outsiders eating fish life for the first time easily get diarrhea.

So, the deliciousness of fish life, let him enjoy it alone.

Although several people had different life experiences, after becoming fishing friends, many chatterboxes naturally opened.

They talked happily until the afternoon. After the old men had eaten enough, they were sleepy, so they packed up their fishing rods, toolboxes, and prepared to return to the military region with the local villager's cart.

"Old Brother Lu, where did you get this wine? It's warm all over."

"Hehe, you can't buy it outside. My granddaughter specially brewed it for me. This is the last bottle. If you want to drink it, you have to wait until next year."

"Oh, your granddaughter is so filial!"

"That's it, my granddaughter is filial."

Other old men silently curled their lips, too lazy to say anything.

Since coming to the Sea Island, Old Lu either showed off that he had a filial granddaughter or showed off that his granddaughter-in-law had good cooking skills.

They were used to hearing it, and their ears had heard calluses.

Covering their ears, don't listen, don't listen, the turtle is chanting!

Hmph, annoyed!

Old Man Lu finished showing off his filial granddaughter and continued to show off his granddaughter-in-law with good cooking skills.

Then it was the filial granddaughter-in-law. Finally, he mentioned his grandson in one stroke.

There was nothing to show off, the grandson really didn't have a few skills that could be taken out.

After saying these, his wine intent also woke up a lot.

The grandfather who drove the cart was also, talking about his children and grandchildren, and there were many common topics.

Talking the most about rubber trees, and betel nut.

This rubber tree planting into scale requires the efforts of two generations.

Betel nut trees are simple, easy to raise, and after a tree matures, it can bear a lot of betel nut.

In the local area, many people like to eat betel nut.

Such good things, as long as they are circulated, they should also be able to make money and bring economic income to the local area.

Old Man Pei heard this and whispered, weakly asking:

"Betel nut, this thing can't be eaten too much, it will ruin teeth."

"Good things we keep for ourselves, bad ones, can't we export them?"

Old Man Lu's mouth was faster than his brain. After reacting, everyone was stunned.

Makes sense!

It makes too much sense!

Good things are hidden at home, bad ones, can't we export them?

The grandfather who drove the cart didn't think too much, but Old Man Lu and Old Man Pei looked at each other, there is a way!

Go back and talk to Brother Duan. If it works, it will not only give the locals on the island more income but also increase the national treasury's income!

As for the harm of betel nut, anyway, it's not harming our own people, it's harming people in other countries, that's their greed!

No one expected that the complaints of a few old men would bring a take-off map to the future Sea Island economy!

After returning to the military region, Old Man Lu said goodbye to his old friends and carried a bucket of freshwater fish to his granddaughter's house.

The granddaughter-in-law has good cooking skills. After cooking, she will definitely call the granddaughter-in-law to eat.

He is killing two birds with one stone, oh no, three birds, and there is also his grandson who only eats and doesn't do!

"Grandpa, where did you trade this freshwater fish?"

"Not traded, I caught it in the reservoir. This fish is good, stewed soup, good for the fetus in your and your sister-in-law's belly."

Old Man Lu didn't understand what nutrition was, just knew that as long as it was good, take it to his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law to eat.

"Then did you blow the cold wind for a few hours again?"

Shen Man didn't eat this set, seriously reached out, probed the temperature on Grandpa's forehead, it's okay, no fever.

"No, we found a leeward place. Besides, your Grandpa Pei brought a grill, and we grilled fire and grilled fish to eat."

Old Man Lu touched his belly, full.

This little life is getting more and more comfortable.

"Stay at night, eat at home, and let Brother send you back to the retirement home."

Shen Man didn't feel at ease and wanted to keep Grandpa at home for a while longer.

"No, no, I still have to pick some fruit. Your Grandpa Li is constipated recently and entrusted me to buy bananas for him."

Old Man Lu naturally wouldn't stay, and then he would have to listen to his granddaughter-in-law's nagging, so forget it.

Besides, he wasn't going to change fruit for Old Li, he was going to find Brother Duan to discuss the feasibility of betel nut export.

"If there is anything, let someone call me at the retirement home. I'm leaving."

Shen Man was helpless, looking at Grandpa who slipped away, sighed.

It is said that when the elderly are old, their temperament is like a child.

She didn't believe it before, but now, she has to believe it.

Grandpa, since coming to the Sea Island, his mentality is getting younger and younger!

Plus the Spiritual Liquid recuperation for more than half a year, his body is getting healthier and healthier, even running, he is walking like flying...

Her husband hasn't come home yet. She picked a few good-looking freshwater fish in the water bucket and threw them into the lotus pond in the space.

Always eating sea fish, Tangyuan should also get tired of it.

Occasionally changing to a new taste is not bad.

Just after pouring the fish in the bucket into the basin, before she had time to process it, her husband and brother came back.

It's just that, one before and one after, low pressure, looking like they quarreled again?

"Sister, you judge, I just greeted brother-in-law from behind, and he gave me a face all the way!"

"Wife, don't listen to his one-sided words. He attacked me from behind in full view, failed, and is still shouting dissatisfaction..."

The two held their own words. Shen Man didn't believe either, so she simply didn't listen—

"Stop quarreling, process this basin of freshwater fish first, tonight I and sister-in-law want to eat deep-fried fish fillets!"

Hearing this, the two big men paused their bickering and did the right thing first.

What is the right thing?

That is to listen to the wife/sister's words, process the fish.
