Chapter 196 The Shui Family Wants to Give Gifts
Old Mei's dinner is already famous.
After Liu Xiaoer and several other teenagers spread the word, the whole town knew about it.
Every night, there are three roast geese, two roast suckling pigs, and five cold dishes.
There is no need to mention other seafood.
What to eat if you live by the sea?
Today's dinner is still the same.
But there are a few more high-end seafood.
Aunt Mei also treats A-mo and the other teenagers as her own children.
Six teenagers, plus five people in the family, ten adults and one child, squeezed together to eat, it's very lively.
If it were another family, they would have eaten so much every day and would have collapsed long ago.
Aunt Mei felt sorry for Ye Sihai for giving Feng Ping a big fish, but she had nothing to say about the teenagers, and was very generous.
Perhaps she also knew that these teenagers would become Sihai's right-hand men in the future.
It's like investing in advance.
As for whether these teenagers will become ungrateful when they grow up in the future?
That's not a problem Aunt Mei considers.
Liu Xiaoer and his children are growing up, and they have grown a lot in the past few months.
It is impossible to eat meat every day at home, let alone roast goose every day.
Of course, rotten fish and shrimp are indispensable.
Nutrition may not be lacking, but it is definitely not delicious.
Dried salted fish, some spoiled sea fish and shrimp that cannot be sold, and rice are their daily staple food.
Of course, compared with rural children in remote mountainous areas, the nutrition is definitely many times better.
But the feeling is the same.
Children in the mountains eat corn porridge and sweet potatoes every day until they vomit.
But when this stuff is given to children at the seaside, they think it is the supreme delicacy.
Sweet and sticky.
I have already been fed up with salted fish.
Everyone gathered around a table in the main hall of the Mei family and ate happily.
Roast goose is something that you can never eat enough.
Aunt Mei prepared two taels of wine for Uncle Mei as usual, but he can't drink too much.
Liu Hanhan still can't sit at the table.
Because he sat at the table, the full table of dishes was all his.
Two big bowls were placed on the coffee table.
One bowl of vegetables, one bowl of rice.
Go and eat.
Wanwan was very considerate of his mood and would secretly pick some dishes for him when she had nothing to do.
Actually, there was everything in Liu Hanhan's bowl.
It was just that all kinds of vegetables were mixed together, so you couldn't see it.
There was even a big steak that was not on the main table.
But Wanwan couldn't eat it.
The steak was as big as her head, and blood gushed out after one bite.
Scary.
Aunt Mei's dishes were large enough.
A vegetarian dish was blanched and stir-fried, and she wanted to put it in a bowl.
Some were grown by herself, and more were bought at the dock.
Green vegetables are more expensive than seafood.
There were piles of small fish and shrimps everywhere on the dock, which cost ten yuan to pack, and a pile of more could weigh five or six kilograms.
You can see how cheap this stuff is.
Aunt Mei would definitely not buy that kind of seafood to eat.
Ye Sihai gave her a hard target.
Even if you don't buy expensive things, you must buy good ones.
Xiao Jianguo's store has a lot of discounted items, and some high-end goods left over from wholesale are sent to the Mei family every few days.
These things are not worthless.
Even if they are sent to the Lin family, they must be high-end ingredients.
Palm-sized swimming crabs and chopstick-long mantis shrimps are sent in large quantities. The only disadvantage is that they are missing arms and legs, and they don't look good.
There are also groupers, which are either killed by falling or dying of lack of oxygen.
It's also Ye Sihai. If it were someone else, Xiao Jianguo would not be willing to send it.
As a result, the Lin family has not bought seafood recently.
There is no way, Aunt Mei can't finish it, she can't finish it at all.
So I had to select a large part of it and send it to the Lin family.
Even these teenagers have brought a lot of them home.
I don't know how many people envy Liu Xiaoer and his family.
It's a bit like one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family.
In Liu Xiaoer's words, now he can basically be half a family at home.
Whenever my dad encounters something important, he will come to him first to discuss it.
That feeling, I won't let it go.
"Xiao Shuiyi, are you worried?"
Seeing Shuiyi's lack of energy, Ye Sihai asked with a smile:
"What's wrong? Are you in love with a girl in school?"
Shuiyi blushed and shook her head:
"No, no."
Liu Xiaoer smiled and reached out to grab the goose head.
But Ah Mo knocked it away with a chopstick:
"You've already eaten a piece, have some shame, this is mine."
Liu Xiaoer curled his lips and reluctantly changed to a piece of goose breast.
Goose head is the most delicious and the most expensive.
"Brother Sihai, Shuiyi's father wants to give you a gift, but he feels that he can't afford it, so he wants Shuiyi to ask you, this kid is embarrassed to ask."
Ye Sihai laughed immediately:
"What does your father want to give me?"
Shuiyi's face was a little red.
Ye Sihai is the great benefactor of Shuiyi's family.
But the Shui family is not well off.
What can I give as a gift?
Ye Sihai is not short of money, so nothing is good.
The only thing he can show off is the fishing net woven by Shuiyi's mother.
So he wove a 100-meter-long trawl net as a gift.
"What are you waiting for? Wait for me to come and get it? You and your father can bring it to me tomorrow."
Ye Sihai was not polite at all. He picked up a piece of roast suckling pig with chopsticks, chewed it while talking, and picked up a piece of chopsticks for Shuiyi.
Shuiyi laughed immediately.
Uncle Mei looked at him with some sighs in his eyes.
But he didn't say anything.
He was no longer the head of the family.
Hand-woven fishing nets are actually better and stronger than industrially produced ones.
Few people weave nets at home now.
It's not expensive to buy one.
And fishing nets are not easy to weave.
A family, often with grandma, mother, and sister, would work hard for half a month or even a month to weave a net.
The broken ones had to be repaired frequently.
These were all delicate and trivial jobs that ordinary people could not do at all.
"Don't your families have any kind of gesture?"
Ye Sihai glanced at everyone and teased:
"You should learn from Shui Yi, you little heartless things."
Aunt Mei knocked Ye Sihai with the end of her chopsticks and scolded with a smile:
"You can't even shut up your mouth when eating? How can you ask for a gift?"
Liu Xiaoer and other teenagers grinned:
"Brother Sihai, my dad said he would give you a pig."
"My family will also give it to you, but we are still discussing it."
"Brother Sihai, my sister knitted two sweaters for you and will send them to you tomorrow."
Ye Sihai...!
Amo glanced at Liu Xiaoer and wanted to throw the roast goose head in his mouth at him.
Aunt Mei and Uncle Mei laughed.
They were very proud.
Who dared to say that they were not secretly proud of their own children who became popular?
You know, a few months ago, many gossipers were secretly laughing at Sihai.
They gossiped behind his back and said all kinds of things.
Now their faces are all swollen.
Aunt Mei felt it most deeply.
These gossipers, especially Xie Zhaodi, are the worst to her.
But now, every time Xie Zhaodi sees her, she smiles until her face breaks.
Isn't it because she wants to get more money from Sihai?
She has five children, four of whom are married and registered in the old town.
Ye Sihai moved to the old town, but he gave money according to the population.
A-Mo and the other boys went home after dinner.
Before leaving, Aunt Mei prepared a net bag of seafood for them.
There were crabs, fish, shrimps, and many shells.
These were delivered by Xiao Jianguo in the afternoon.
Ye Sihai played with Wanwan for a while, and then started to chat on the phone with his young fiancee.
Lin Qiaohua is so proud now.
In the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school, she is the most dazzling one.
There is no way, because Haizi is her boyfriend.
