Heizi was on his way home while Heizi’s family members were so worried to the point of crying. They searched for the child all morning, at the beach, and in the village, but they couldn’t find Heizi. If someone in the village hadn’t seen Heizi leaving the village with a bucket, everyone in the family would be afraid Heizi had fallen into the sea.
Their family is poor, and it was hard for the eldest son and his wife to give birth to a young man, it is difficult to give birth to one child- maybe there will be only one child in their family. If something happened to him, the whole family would be in despair.
Fortunately, they learned that the child was carrying a bucket of shrimp and went to the county town to sell it- they were all worried and blamed themselves.
Heizi’s grandfather with white hair on his back and his father with rheumatism and handicaps wandered anxiously at the entrance of the village.
Heizi’s figure appeared at the entrance of the village, and the two immediately went up to take the child home. The family members saw that Heizi was safe and surrounded him with concern.
The family didn’t expect the shrimp to be sold until the child took out the copper coins, pancakes, and fried rice that had lost its heat but still retained some aroma.
The whole family was shocked, this was money earned by selling shrimp.
Heizi told them about the stall owner- how he bought the shrimp and how he asked him to peel the shrimp. “The boss gave me these two pancakes and fried rice.” He didn’t dare to ask for it at first, but he took it because he wanted his family to taste the white flour pancake and fried rice.
“The rice is fried with shrimp. The boss is very powerful so the fried rice is delicious. Mom, grandma, let’s heat up the fried rice and then eat it, okay?”
“Okay, okay.”
No one in the family disagreed, this is earned by the child, and everyone knows that the boss kindly gave it to him. Whether it is pancakes made of white flour or fried rice, they are all precious foods, and they are things that the Heizi family has never eaten.
The fried rice was hot and fragrant, and the family added some sweet potatoes to eat with it, they finally realized that shrimp can be so delicious.
However, as a family, they have never thought about what to do with delicious shrimps. They only know that selling shrimps can make money for the family, and that the family can be safe and sound.
“Go net these shrimps tomorrow morning, peel them and send them over, can they be delivered in time?” Heizi’s father asked.
No one wanted shrimp in the sea before so it was very easy to catch shrimp.
“We’ll catch it later, keep it at home, and peel it off tomorrow morning.” Heizi’s grandpa said, the old man has experienced a lot of wind and rain so he still has some ideas.
Heizi’s family all agreed with a smile.

Wei Cheng launched a new type of shrimp teppanyaki for lunch. At first, the guests were puzzled. People who smelled the aroma before came to buy it. When Wei Cheng made it once more, the fresh fragrance overflowed.
Looking at the aroma of shrimps on the grains of rice, everyone knew it would be delicious.
There is also sour plum soup, three wen a bowl. He directly told the customers that he added ice and when they heard that, none would complain that it was too expensive.
Ice drinks can only be drunk in restaurants and the price is very expensive, three wen is a fraction of that cost, many customers at Wei Cheng stalls are wealthy, and even rich people come to try sour plum soup, with these customers, two barrels of sour plum soup were sold out.
Shrimp teppanyaki with sour plum soup is simply delicious.
If one can also order a plate of cold salad, they’ll enjoy the meal even more deliciously..
Now there is no seafood and shrimp pastes but later on there would be making their dishes popular.
It would also drive the fresh shrimp market, so that villagers in fishing villages who cannot go fishing can earn a living.
But that is something that happens later.
*
The next morning, after delivering food, unexpectedly Wei Yuan didn’t go back immediately, and Wei Cheng didn’t see the other two people who usually came to help deliver the food.
Seeing Wei Cheng, Wei Yuan frowned, as if he had something to say.
Wei Cheng asked him to enter the house as several people entered the house, Zhou Yuan went to pour water for everyone before Wei Cheng pulled him aside, “Pour sour plum soup for them, I don’t need it.”
Zhou Yuan responded and went to the kitchen.
Wei Yuan finally says that the matter is related to the purchase of vegetables in the village.
Wei Cheng could also guess this a little bit.
Zhou Yuan brought the sour plum soup, and after putting it away, he wanted to go out of the house so as not to disturb the three of them talking about business. Wei Cheng took his hand and whispered that he should stay.
Since it would not hinder their discussion, Zhou Yuan stayed behind after listening to Wei Cheng’s words.
Wei Lei was not surprised, but Wei Yuan was a little surprised. The three men were talking about business, and basically they would not let the females or gers be present. It was a common thought that the girls and gers would do what they should do while the men were in charge, their responsibilities differed.
Wei Yuan didn’t say anything, after all, it was Wei Cheng who asked the person to stay, so he continued to talk.
It turned out that since Wei Yuan’s family helped Wei Cheng buy vegetables, the villagers all learned about it. Seeing Wei Yuan’s family harvesting so many vegetables, almost everyone was thinking the same thoughts..
They are all in the same village, if they can receive vegetables from other families, why not theirs?
In the beginning, they came directly to the door, and in the name of fellowship in the village, they insisted that Wei Yuan’s family buy their vegetables together.
Aunt Lu said that she couldn’t, saying that she had already taken over other houses, and she couldn’t buy too much for the time being, so she directly refused.
They left, but they didn’t expect that the next morning, two families would ask their families to carry vegetables to Wei Yuan’s house, forcing them to buy their vegetables, and even harassing people saying that they had already harvested the vegetables. If Wei Yuan’s family didn’t accept them, they would cause their families to lose vegetables- how could Wei Yuan’s family do that to them?
Those two families are known to be domineering and unreasonable in the village. One of them is the most arrogant and loudest. The middle-aged fat woman is close to the village head’s family. The other family is a rogue household in the village, if they don’t accept it, the argument would become endless.
Wei Yuan’s family wanted to calm things down, at most they couldn’t sell vegetables at home, so they bought their vegetables.
They thought that was it.
Who knows, the next day, the other villagers followed suit, and when Wei Yuan’s family refused to take it in, they rolled and cried and made a fuss, saying that if they would not take in their family’s food, it would rot.
Wei Yuan’s family collected vegetables from those people, and then those people told other families that it would be a pity if they collect less tomorrow. After all, it was the opportunity given to Wei Yuan’s family and they should care for their own village and accept all their vegetables.
Wei Yuan heard all this.
On the third day, more villagers brought vegetables over, and some of them were shoddy. Wei Yuan’s family put on a hard face and refused to accept them and made them take away their vegetables.
Wei Yuan disagreed with his parents’ approach but the villagers have all followed suit, so he came to Wei Cheng to talk about what he could do.
“Yuan-zi, I’m really sorry for causing trouble to your family.” Wei Cheng felt very sorry.
Wei Yuan was not happy with what he said, “Cheng-zi, don’t say that, we are brothers, besides, you only had good intentions, this is the problem of the villagers, not yours.”
Wei Cheng didn’t say much, anyway, he wouldn’t let Wei Yuan’s family suffer, and asked, “Yuan-zi, did your family go to the village chief?”
“My mother went but the village head came over this morning to scold me.” Otherwise if the village head did something, the villagers would restrain themselves, but Wei Yuan knew that he did nothing. He learned it from the expressions of the villagers before they went back, so he waited for Wei when he delivered the vegetables. He thought that Cheng-zi must have a solution.
“Did the villagers who your family bought vegetables from help to speak up?”
“Yes, there are people who we are good friends with who will help my family to quarrel with those villagers, but some people just say a few words, and even then they don’t say much, others just stand aside and won’t speak.”
Wei Cheng thought for a while, “Yuan-zi, how about this, you go back and tell Aunt Lu to go to the village head again, and tell the village head directly that if the villagers continue to make trouble like this, I will withdraw buying from the village and replace them with another village. Tell Aunt Lu to tell the villagers who you bought vegetables from before that the family would definitely not be able to stop the villagers who came to make trouble, saying that if I stopped buying vegetables, their family would not be able to sell their vegetables.”
Only when their own interests are involved will those people really come out to speak for Wei Yuan’s family. Wei Yuan’s family had bought vegetables from theirs before, the families who sold their vegetables had to stand up and defend them.
“Just go back and tell Aunt Lu that if the village chief really just ignores me, I will definitely withdraw the purchase of vegetables, and then I will arrange work for you.”
“Cheng-zi, how can I ask you to specially arrange work for me, I can do odd jobs even if you don’t buy vegetables.” Wei Yuan does not have the nerve to ask his brother to arrange work for him.
“Okay, so it would be done like this. As for tomorrow, let Lei-zi help you. I will ask Aunt Yang for help when the stall opens tomorrow.”
“Okay, I’ll be back for the afternoon market.”
Wei Cheng let the people leave after they ate.
After dinner, Wei Lei and Wei Yuan went back together.
