Chapter 85 Watches
In the morning, after Zhang Yuling left for errands, Momo locked the door and went out.

At seven o'clock, Momo arrived at the agreed intersection. Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Damei had arrived early. Wang Tiezhu saw Momo carrying the basket and hurriedly took it and weighed it with his hands. Good guy, it weighs about thirty kilograms.

Wang Tiezhu was very surprised: "As expected of Qingbai's girl, she is very strong."

Momo laughed twice. She didn't have that much strength. She took it out of the space when she was almost there, and she didn't walk a few steps.

Zhao Damei glanced at the basket and was very excited. These are all rice. If used properly, they can be exchanged for a lot of cornmeal. She pulled Momo affectionately and said, "Come on, the seafood is ready."

"it is good."

On the way back, Wang Tiezhu was carrying a basket and wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally endured it. Momo turned her head and asked, "Brother Wang, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Damei also looked over. Wang Tiezhu thought of the big family at home and finally said, "Well, here we have cornmeal for rice. One pound of rice is exchanged for two and a half pounds of cornmeal. So I want to ask, you How much rice do you still have? If there is more, can you sell me some?"

Momo asked a little uncertainly, "Is there a place to change cornmeal here?"

Zhao Damei motioned Momo to keep her voice down, and lowered her voice: "Yes, but secretly. I've been there several times secretly. It's very safe."

Momo suppressed her excitement and wondered if she could change it too?Although the exchange ratio is half a kilogram less than the black market, but who makes this place safe?
Momo calculated carefully and removed the 250 kilograms of rice in the backpack, and there was still [-] kilograms of rice left in the space. However, Momo did not plan to replace it all with corn flour. She took out another [-] kilograms of rice. If it was too much, it would cause trouble. People are suspicious.

Seeing Momo's silence, Wang Tiezhu knew there was something going on and was not in a hurry.

Momo thought about her words before speaking, "There are also fifty kilograms, which I bought with foreign exchange coupons. I planned to mail them home."

When Momo said this, Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Damei thought to themselves, no wonder there is so much rice, and Wang Tiezhu didn't have much money in his hands. After thinking about it, "How about I give it ten pounds according to the market price?"

Momo agreed happily, "Yes, but I would like to ask Brother Wang for help. Help me replace forty kilograms of rice with cornmeal. If it is done, I will give you ten kilograms of cornmeal for your hard work."

"Momo, if you say that, aren't you going to slap me in the face? Qingbai and I are brothers, so we should help. I can't ask for cornmeal."

Momo had her own thoughts, "Brother Wang, I'm not familiar with this place. I can't find a way by myself. I really need your help. Besides, my brothers are still settling accounts, so don't refuse."

Wang Tiezhu thought of his parents who were tightening their belts at home, and he couldn't say any more words of rejection.

The three of them chatted and walked quickly, arriving at the fishing village in an hour.

Zhao Damei introduced, "This is a small fishing village. There are thirty households in total. Every household is a good fisherman. Look at the second house, it is my home."

Momo glanced over and saw three mud-thatched houses with a neat yard. The vegetable plot was full of vegetables and there were many fish hanging under the eaves. Momo followed Zhao Damei into the yard. A faint smell of the sea hit her nostrils. Momo I felt a little uncomfortable and had to sneeze a few times.

Zhao Damei had already had a breather with her family. The family received Momo warmly, inviting her to drink water and eat wild fruits.

Momo smiled and thanked her, and Zhao Damei couldn't wait to pull Zhao's father, "Dad, where is the fish?"

Father Zhao smiled innocently, "Don't be in a hurry, wait until you have eaten."

Zhao Damei also felt that she was too hasty and smiled sheepishly at Momo. Momo came out wearing a watch today. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was only 08:30. "Uncle, it's still early for dinner. Let's change first." Come on, everyone is at ease."

Father Zhao thought the same thing, "Okay, boss, go get the fish."

Boss Zhao responded excitedly, "Hey"

Boss Zhao quickly brought in a large bag of fish, opened it and showed it to Momo. Father Zhao took out a dried fish, "We dried these by ourselves. The meat looks translucent, so you can take it back and eat with confidence." Momo said. Mo took it and looked at it, "It's indeed good. Uncle, please tell me a price."

Father Zhao rubbed his hands and said, "It's convenient for us to fish by the sea. The price should be lower. If you don't need a ticket, I'll give it to you at [-] cents per pound."

Momo asked about the price of non-staple food. The price in the non-staple food store was [-] cents per kilogram. Zhao’s father gave him the lowest price just for Wang Tiezhu’s sake. Momo became interested and asked, “Then please weigh me. How many kilograms are there in total?” .”

"This has been weighed. One bag of fish weighs fifty kilograms."

Momo was thinking about squid, "Uncle, do you have any dried squid here?"

Father Zhao said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, but not much, only about twenty kilograms."

Momo's eyes lit up, "Can you sell it to me?"

"Yes, of course I can, but squid is difficult to catch and the price is expensive, two yuan per catty."

"I want them all. Look at what other seafood there is besides fish."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Damei hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll get it."

In one hour, Momo bought fifty kilograms of dried fish, twenty kilograms of dried squid, ten kilograms of dried shrimps, twenty kilograms of processed kelp, and three kilograms of seaweed, spending a total of 83 quick bucks on Momo.

Father Zhao gave Momo the lowest price, and the rice that Momo brought was not paid according to the black market. The rice was given to the Zhao family at one dollar and a half per catty. Thirty catties totaled 45, and Momo gave another 38 yuan.

The Zhao family was very happy to get the money. After working for an hour, it was almost time for dinner, so they hurriedly went to cook. The lunch dish was authentic seafood, which could be steamed. Momo was full of food, and it was not contaminated. The seafood is so fresh.

Zhao Damei got a cart for the fish that Momo exchanged for, and Wang Tiezhu sent Momo back. When they were about to reach D City, Momo asked Wang Tiezhu to put the fish in the grass, and thanked him: "Brother Wang, please go back later. My godmother will come to pick me up."

"No, I have to wait until you leave before leaving."

Momo raised her wrist and handed the watch to Wang Tiezhu to look at, "It's already three o'clock. Don't you still have to go home? Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going to the city soon."

Wang Tiezhu looked at the city not far away, and had nothing to worry about. "Okay, I'll go back first. See you here tomorrow morning."

"OK."

Momo waited until Wang Tiezhu turned downhill and was completely out of sight, then she safely took it back into the space, turned around and left with the basket on her back.

Today's harvest was so rich that Momo felt much happier when she walked. When she thought that there would be ninety kilograms of cornmeal tomorrow, she couldn't help but jump a little.

When they got home, Zhang Yuling hadn't come back yet, so Momo took out all the dried fish and planned to give half of it to her godmother.

Wang Tiezhu walked halfway, looked at the sky to estimate the time, and then suddenly realized that he had seen the watch Momo was wearing.

At that time, he was looking for Chaoyang and happened to see the watch on the table. Now it was on Momo's wrist. Does that mean Chaoyang had captured Lian Momo?

Chaoyang is amazing, has it succeeded quietly?That kid Lian Qingbai must know. It's really not interesting. He is the last one to know. No, when I get back to work, I must write to Lian Qingbai. After all, they are not brothers anymore.
