Fishermen in this area of Changdao usually go out early in the morning and return in the evening when they go fishing.
Except for the fish that I want to eat, I will bring back some fish.
Otherwise, I will not bring back any fish I catch.
I will keep them in fish boxes on the boat that are connected to the sea.
If there are too many, I will use extra cages to hang them in the sea.
Early tomorrow morning, we will use an ox cart or donkey cart to load the water in large buckets together with sea water and go to Laishan County to sell it.
The coastline of Laishan County is very long, and there are countless islands of various sizes dotted around the coast.
Therefore, the seafood here is very rich, and the price of seafood is really cheap.
Unless it is a rare marine fish, it will not be sold at a good price in the market, and it is just to subsidize household expenses.
But no matter what, it is better than those who live on the mountain.
Ji Qingqing wanted to go to the pier to have a look, so she stood up and said with a smile, "Cousin, can I go with you?"
Perhaps it was the blood relationship, or perhaps it was the goodwill of the Xue family that made Ji Qingqing feel close and at ease.
Although they only got along for half a day, Ji Qingqing truly felt what blood and family affection meant, and did not feel unfamiliar at all.
Mrs.
Xue felt distressed when she saw that Ji Qingqing was beautiful, well-behaved and sensible.
She was even more happy when she saw that she was willing to get close to her family.
She eagerly wanted to go to the dock, but Mrs.
Xue couldn't help it.
Without waiting for Xue Yuanzhang to say anything, he said with a smile: "Go, go, you can go if you want.
Yuanzhang, it's a good thing to take Qing Yatou with you."
Xue Yuanzhang smiled, promised Mrs.
Xue, and said to Ji Qingqing: "The pier is not far away, let's go."
"Okay, cousin, thank you grandma."
Ji Qingqing became happy.
Mrs.
The three of them walked out of the Xue family courtyard gate, walked down a slope and walked to the right.
Along the way, we passed many fertile fields and vegetable fields, and there were fruit trees of various sizes on the gently rolling hills.
Ji Qingqing remembered what her mother had said about apples being abundant on Long Island.
Every household has one or two orchards of varying sizes, growing nothing but apples.
I don’t know when they started growing them, but every household has them.
My mother said that the climate in this area makes the apples delicious, crisp and sweet, with a strong fruity aroma, large in size, and very beautiful in red color.
There are many apple trees in this area not only on Long Island, but also in other places, so although the fruits are good, they cannot be sold at a high price.
Xue Yuanzhang talked to them all the way.
Seeing that something was different from before, Mrs.
Xue sighed with emotion, and Xue Yuanzhang elaborated on it.
Suddenly seeing Ji Qingqing staring at the apple trees far and near in a daze, Xue Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Cousin Qing, do you like apples?
Our apples on Chang Island are the sweetest and most delicious.
Unfortunately, they are not ripe yet.
Wait for one or two When the moon is ripe, I will pick a hundred catties and send them to you."
Then he smiled and said: "Although they are not quite ripe yet, some of them are barely ripe.
I will go to the orchard to look for them tomorrow and pick a few for you to try."
The eldest cousin was sincere, and Ji Qingqing did not show any pretense.
She nodded happily and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, eldest cousin.
Can I go to the orchard tomorrow?"
In his previous life, Ji Qingqing liked to go to the countryside to pick things when he had free time on weekdays.

Now that he has something readily available, he is not willing to let it go.
Xue Yuanzhang was amused.
He just thought that she was a little girl who was curious about everything, but this was good.
At least this cousin was really close to him, so he nodded and smiled: "Of course, there's nothing wrong with that."
Mrs.
"No," Xue Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Three pennies per catty is considered the best.
In some years when there is a good harvest, it only costs one penny per catty.
The sellers who come to harvest the fruit are very picky, but the fruit trees have grown.
After so many years, everyone is used to growing this.
Let's just leave it at that.
At least we can make some money for the family.
If not, it's good to eat it at home or feed it to pigs.
This fruit is very durable and can be kept in the cellar for a month or two.
It won’t go bad.
If you don’t pick it, it will still be hanging on the tree fine in the twelfth lunar month.”
"That's right," Xue said with a smile.
Ji Qingqing couldn't help but become curious.
Are the apples on Long Island really so good?
I looked carefully at the fruit trees far and near.
Countless fruits were densely hanging on the branches.
They were very big and faintly red.
It seemed that this year was another good harvest year.
Ji Qingqing couldn't help but think, it would be great if it could be sold at a good price.
But, what can be done?
She couldn't help but think about it secretly.
They walked and talked all the way, and soon they arrived at the pier.
Several fishing boats were docking, and there was a little excitement on the pier.
When meeting an acquaintance, it is indispensable to say hello.
Mrs.
Xue inevitably pulled Ji Qingqing out again, acknowledged the people and greeted them around.
Mr.
Xue and his boat had not returned yet, so the three of them were talking and waiting on the dock.
Looking at the bay with gentle rolling waves, Ji Qingqing smiled and said: "Cousin, will you go to the sea in the morning?
Is there a beach where you can find many beautiful shells?
Is there a reef beach on the seaside?
Are there many fish?"
Xue Yuanzhang just thought it was all what his aunt and cousin said about the sea, and didn't care.
He smiled and said: "Of course, you have to get up early to catch the sea.
If you want to go there in two days, I will take you there.
There are so many shells.
I'll find some for you later.
There are also many kinds of fish and shrimps on the reef beach, but they are just small things.
Children in the village love to play there.
If you want to go back, let Xiaoxiao take you with me. " There were only children playing on the rocky beach, and Xue Yuanzhang, a man who had already married a wife and had a baby, was certainly not too embarrassed to go.
The Xiaoxiao he was talking about was Xue Xiaoxiao, the daughter of his second uncle and second aunt, who was just twelve years old this year.

Mrs.
Together" Ji Qingqing smiled and said yes, but didn't insist anymore.
Xue Yuanzhang also smiled and said nothing, pretending to be confused.
Of course he knew what his aunt was taboo about, and he was afraid that his second aunt would come out with some ridiculous nonsense, so he was not happy with his cousin Qing looking for Xiaoxiao to play with.
In fact, they are the same.
They are not willing to mess with the second uncle and second aunt's family on weekdays.
The second aunt is really hard to describe:
