"Okay, the boat is full. Beibei almost caught a cold trying to catch these fish, and she was still sneezing when she came back. She just drank ginger soup and can't go out to have a wind. Go and call her back." Feng Shi Seeing Beibei run away angrily by the boat, he couldn't help blaming him lightly.

Hearing this, Bai Manchuan felt guilty, he shouldn't have doubted Beibei.

Bai Manchuan found Bai Beibei in the field behind the house, and Bai Beibei was cutting leeks.

"Beibei, don't be angry, I didn't say I don't believe you." Bai Manchuan smiled flatteringly.

Bo Beibei stuffed a large handful of leeks cut from the ground into his arms, and said, "Take it back and let mother make leek mackerel dumplings."

"Okay." Bai Manchuan grinned, thought for a while, and then asked eagerly: "Beibei, can you tell me where those fish were caught?"

Bai Beibei stared: "Forgot!"

It is said that telling a lie requires countless lies to cover it up. Bo Beibei really feels deeply at this moment.

Next time before doing these things, you must think before and after, and make sure that you can do things satisfactorily, Bai Beibei secretly warned himself.

"It's okay, if you forget it, forget it." Bai Manchuan was afraid of angering his sister again, so he quickly lost his smile.

Bo Beibei was also worried that if he continued to talk about this topic, he would show his feet, so he hurriedly urged, "Brother, it's getting dark, hurry up and take the leeks home."

"Okay, let's eat mackerel dumplings with leeks tonight." Bai Manchuan put aside all the messy things in his mind, and went home with leeks in his arms.

After the leek mackerel dumplings were steamed, Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Zhao each took a big pot back home, and Bai Manchuan went into the kitchen after he was full.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Bo Beibei and Man Cang followed in, and saw Man Chuan squatting in front of the water tank picking fish.

"Didn't you say that you want to raise seafood? These deep-sea fish are expensive and easy to sell, so I picked out the fish with roe in their stomachs, but I just don't know if they can be fed?" Bai Manchuan pondered.

Hearing this, Bo Beibei also became thoughtful. She originally planned to raise oysters, scallops, and sea shrimps first, but now she suddenly changed her mind after hearing what her brother said.

Real marine fish farming is not only important for fry, but also for location selection. Water salinity, depth, and water circulation are all important. But now that she has resources to use, what is she going to do so much effort?
Since the deep-sea fish here are easy to sell, then she will raise these deep-sea fish first!

Three days later, Bai Beibei went to Baogang Town again, this time she tripped over Yuzhu, and the two of them took Mancang together.

The weather is getting colder, and Bo Beibei plans to buy three sets of autumn clothes for each family member first, and two sets of winter clothes for each person first, because winter here comes very late.

Bo Beibei was not good at needlework, and she couldn't bear to let her mother bother her, so she bought ready-made clothes.

Bai Beibei originally wanted to buy two sets for Yuzhu, but Yuzhu refused to take it alive or dead, so he had to give up in the end.

After buying the clothes, Bo Beibei asked the tailor to help her cut a piece of old coarse cloth about ten meters long.

After leaving the tailor shop, a few people strolled around the street and bought candy and a toy for Mancang. It was already noon.

"Mancang, how about my sister taking you to a restaurant for a big meal today?" Bo Beibei pinched Mancang's nose dotingly. She couldn't bring Mancang with her a few times before, so this time it was compensation.

Mancang thought for a while, blinked his eyes and asked, "Is the restaurant's food delicious?"

Bo Beibei pretended to think about it seriously, and finally shook his head: "Probably not."

Mother's current cooking skills are as good as those of the chefs in Hongfu Restaurant in the county seat. How can the little cooks here compare?
"Then why are we going to the restaurant to eat?" Mancang raised his chin and rolled his eyes.

With a "poof", Bai Yuzhu couldn't help laughing: "Beibei, I think Aunt Feng has spoiled Mancang's mouth, so let's eat something at noon."

"Okay then." Bo Beibei suddenly felt that her mother was too good at cooking and was very distressed, and she had no chance to be rich in front of her younger brother.

At noon, several people ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles at a noodle shop. This noodle shop was on the same street as Lao You's pastry shop. The door is closed, and the seal of the government above has not been lifted.

After lunch, several people went into the fish tackle shop again.

Seeing how many bundles of fishing nets and shuttles Bai Beibei had bought, Bai Yuzhu couldn't help but asked, "Bei Bei, your brother doesn't go fishing now, so why are you buying so many fishing nets and shuttles?"

Since Bai Yuzhu asked, Bo Beibei told her about the seafood farming. Bai Yuzhu's first reaction was the same as that of Bai Manchuan and the others, but Bo Beibei told her about the seafood farming in good temper.

Finally, Bai Beibei asked: "Sister Yuzhu, can you weave fishing nets for me? I can pay you."

In fact, she can also weave fishing nets, but she doesn't have that much time. She has to study Qianzhang's method with her mother, learn cooking skills and take care of her uncle.

Bai Yuzhu glared at Bai Beibei in displeasure: "What kind of wages are you paying, and you still treat me like this?"

"Sister Yuzhu, the fishing net I want is much bigger than our usual fishing nets, and I have to weave a lot, so it will take a lot of your time. I dare not ask you to weave it for me without paying you." I was worried that Yuzhu would help her with things, You Shi and Chen Shi would have objections, and it would be different if they paid wages.

"You just give me the fishing net line and the shuttle, and you don't need to worry about the rest." Bai Yuzhu heard the meaning of Bai Beibei's words, and knew that she was thinking of herself, but she had no feelings for the family members, so she was too lazy Whatever they think.

Yuzhu's temperament is unambiguous, and Bai Beibei is no longer coquettish, so she entrusts her with weaving fishing nets.

A few people went to the carpenter's shop to pick up things, bought a small stone mill, and then returned home leisurely in an ox cart.

As soon as she got home, Bo Beibei cleaned the molds for making tofu and making thousands of sheets, as well as the old coarse cloth.

In the evening, Feng put the pre-soaked soybeans on a small stone mill to grind them into soymilk. After the soymilk was filtered, it was poured into a pot and boiled.

Bai Beibei lit the fire, and Feng kept stirring the pot with a spoon.

Mancang stood by the stove and watched, sniffed his nose, and said, "It smells so good!"

"I'll get you a bowl of tofu nao later," Feng said.

Mancang swallowed, and nodded vigorously, he had never heard of tofu nao, let alone ate it, but just by smelling it, he knew it must be delicious.

After the soy milk was boiled, Bai Beibei saw that Feng Shi skimmed off the layer of bubbles on the soy milk, and then put the pot on the table.

On the other side, take out the crystal clear bittern and disperse it with water, and then start to make a slurry.

After ordering the milk and leaving it for a while, the soy milk in the pot began to change, and the soy milk became lumpy. This process surprised Manchuan and Mancang.
