Chapter 27 I'm Just Bored
Chapter 27 I'm Just Bored
After eating a tasteless meal, and watching his wife leave in a hurry without even giving him a glance, Yu Muzhou already had a premonition.
He sat down on the sofa and lit one cigarette after another.
Thinking about what Brother Cheng Long said, and then thinking about the tragic endings of some men, Yu Muzhou felt that he should prepare in advance so that he wouldn't be caught off guard when things came to a head.
At the same time, Yu Muzhou was also thinking about having a good talk with his wife someday.
They had been married for many years, and they had dated before getting married, so they had a strong emotional foundation. He didn't want to end things so hastily.
......
"As expected of a time-honored brand, a bowl of seafood noodles is so fresh and delicious." Zhou Miao was still savoring the taste as he walked out of the noodle shop.
He personally doesn't particularly like seafood noodles because if the chef's skills are even slightly lacking, the noodles won't be able to mask the fishy smell.
The seafood noodle soup here is thick but not salty, and the small yellow croaker is pan-fried until slightly charred on both sides, making it especially delicious.
The clams were cooked to perfection, each one plump and the meat inside hadn't shrunk due to overcooking.
No wonder the business is so popular even without online food delivery.
"Satisfied now? There's also a Sichuan restaurant on this street called Lao Yu Sichuan Cuisine. The food is especially good. You can try it sometime."
Luo Qianqian smiled and recommended another shop to him.
"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time." Zhou Miao nodded solemnly.
He has a certain interest in cooking and occasionally enjoys researching some delicacies in his spare time.
He decided to come back a few more times so he could openly stand at the door and learn from the master.
The old man running the noodle shop had his kitchen right outside, and he didn't seem worried about others stealing his recipes, so he must have some secret ingredients.
Even if Zhou Miao only learns some of his control over the heat, his noodle-cooking skills will improve significantly.
After filling their stomachs, the three of them set off for the seafood market.
Upon arriving at the location, Zhou Miao realized that it was actually a comprehensive wholesale market.
There are many dried fruit wholesale shops on the outskirts, and most of the stalls are located in this area.
Many customers came out carrying beef and mutton, indicating that there was a dedicated meat section inside.
If you want to eat beef or mutton in the future, you can come here. If you don't have a car, you can take the subway, which only takes an hour or two, so it's quite convenient.
"We can just find any open space, with the back of the car facing outwards, so we don't have to move the boxes around," Luo Qianqian said, pointing to an open space by the roadside.
It was still early, and there weren't many stalls outside yet, so parking was easy.
Zhou Miao parked the car, got out, opened the trunk, and then pulled Luo Qianqian's two suitcases outside.
Sell her fish first, since the car belongs to her family and she gave us the directions. Given that both of us have the same items, it's only right that we let her fish sell first.
Without any hesitation, Luo Qianqian opened the box and called out to passing customers, "Fish I just caught this morning, interested in taking a look? There are red sea bream, rockfish, and amberjack."
Ganzi fish is a local name, and the Ganzi fish varies from region to region.
Here, several types of trevally are called "ganzai fish".
However, the trevally that Zhou Miao caught is scientifically known as the large-tailed leaf trevally.
The price was indeed not expensive, just as Zhou Miao had guessed, only thirty yuan per jin.
Perhaps it was the wrong time; after Luo Qianqian called out a few times, passersby just stopped to look but didn't seem interested in buying anything.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao was standing next to him looking a bit idle, Zhou Miao laughed and said, "Why don't you join in and shout a few words? You'll have to shout things out if you ever sell fish on your own in the future, so it's good to get familiar with it beforehand."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that he was right!
This morning's fishing experience has made her decide to follow Zhou Miao from now on, so it's only a matter of time before she starts selling fish herself.
So she went over to Luo Qianqian and joined in the shouting: "Fresh fish, fish caught this morning, anyone want some?"
It's quite a rare sight to see two beautiful women selling fish together.
Sure enough, a few male customers came in immediately, all of whom looked to be in their thirties or forties.
There weren't any bad people around; everyone just looked at the pretty girls and then bought some fish to take away.
This made Zhou Miao sigh with admiration; this era truly treats beautiful women well!
If he were to do the calling, a bunch of young women would probably come.
(Similar to this young woman)
This large wholesale market does indeed have a huge flow of people.
Even if only four or five out of a hundred passing customers buy fish from them, their stock still sells out in just an hour or two.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't have many rockfish and red snapper here, so after rounding down, she sold them for only 135 yuan.
The mackerel was quite good; it was cheap, but each one weighed two or three pounds and sold for 360 yuan.
Including the red envelope from this morning, her income today reached 1,300.
Zhou Miao earned about 800 yuan because he caught a lot of trevally.
After selling the fish, the three of them headed home.
After returning the car keys to Luo Qianqian and parting ways with her, Lu Xiaoxiao asked, "Brother Miao, should we try to withdraw some money now?"
Zhou Miao lifted the bag in his hand: "No rush, let's go tonight! I just bought some garbage bags, I'm going to pick up trash later."
"Picking up trash?" Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, completely unable to understand why he would do such a thing.
"I passed by a small beach yesterday, and it was covered in trash, so I thought I'd clean it up."
"We who live by the sea have an obligation to maintain the marine environment."
Although this was not Zhou Miao's original intention, he needed a more sophisticated excuse to get people to help with this "thankless" task.
Sure enough, upon hearing this reason, Lu Xiaoxiao's face showed admiration: "Okay, I'll go with you."
So the two returned to the fishing raft, cleaned the box and put it in the warehouse, then took their tools and set off for the small beach.
Lu Xiaoxiao was quite surprised when she saw the beach.
The coastline looked quite clean, but I never expected there to be such a dirty and messy place on the other side of the island.
Zhou Miao brought the boat ashore, and the two of them got busy on the beach.
He first threw the large pieces of trash, such as discarded pontoons and floats, onto the boat, filling it up before going back to dispose of the rest of the trash, leaving Lu Xiaoxiao to clean up the smaller pieces.
She used the beachcombing tongs to pick up trash such as discarded bags and put them into a garbage bag.
"Hey, Zhou Miao, what's going on with you?"
Passing by the fish rafts, I inevitably passed by Luo Hao's side, and then Luo Qianqian called out to me.
"Yesterday I was boating around and found a small beach full of trash on the east side of Twin Cape. Since I had some free time, I decided to clean it up."
"Brother, you're amazing!" Before Luo Qianqian could even speak, Luo Hao, who was overhearing this, gave him a thumbs up.
"I'm just bored!" Zhou Miao smiled, feeling unworthy of his praise, since his initial intention was simply to complete the task and get the reward.
"Where is it? Take me with you later!" Luo Qianqian thought for a moment and decided to lend a hand.
"Okay, I'll throw this trash away."
With another person on the team, they should be able to clean up the trash on the beach by the afternoon.
