Chapter 178 The Master-Disciple Split

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression became serious. He looked at Banggeng with helplessness and disappointment in his eyes.

He looked at Jia Dongxu. Was this the "elderly caretaker" he had wanted to train? He couldn't help but shake his head, expressing his great disappointment. Then, seeing Yi Yuanchao's well-behaved appearance, he suddenly felt a little fortunate.

Bang Geng lowered his head, but did not dare to look into Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

"Bang Geng, this won't happen again..." Yi Zhonghai said slowly, "You are a child, it is inevitable to make mistakes. However, you must understand that there are some mistakes that cannot be made. Breaking someone's glass and stealing things are illegal acts, and you will be arrested and taken to the police station."

"Ah! I don't want to go to the police station, I don't want to go... wuwuwu..." Banggeng said while wiping his tears after hearing this.

Liu Zhiye said with a fierce face: "Are you scared now? It's too late! Come with me."

Bang Geng was so scared that he screamed and shouted, "No, I won't go...Mom, come and save me..."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai persuaded: "Director Liu, forget it! He is just a child, and the things have been found. Look..."

Liu Zhiye was just bluffing to scare Bang Geng, so he ended the conversation: "Well, okay! Since your grandfather Yi pleaded for you, we don't have to go to the police station."

"However, don't think you can get away with it easily. You can't escape the punishment of cleaning the yard for a week. Also, Jia Dongxu, your family has to compensate Uncle Yi for the loss of the glass. Since the victim pleaded for mercy, I will compensate him 5 yuan." He said seriously.

Jia Dongxu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and muttered: "It's just two pieces of glass, why do they need five dollars?" Qin Huairu quickly pulled him aside and whispered: "Don't say it, we are willing to compensate Uncle Yi for his losses..."

He went on to say, "It's so late now, and you've disturbed everyone in the compound. Your family must go and apologize to everyone." Liu Zhiye's tone was stern and left no room for questioning.

The couple had no choice but to go door to door bowing and apologizing to people, which made Jia Dongxu feel very upset.

"Ah~ Liu Zhiye, you wait for me... and Yi Zhonghai, you old bastard..."

He now hated Liu Zhiye to the core, and at the same time, he hated Yi Zhonghai to the core. He could only endure it silently, hoping that he would have the opportunity to take revenge in the future.

Liu Zhiye noticed his expression and thought to himself that since your date is coming soon, I won't bother with you anymore.

"Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, are you satisfied with the result of this handling?" Liu Zhiye asked.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and Aunt Yi said politely: "No problem, thank you for your hard work, Director Liu! Sorry to trouble you!"

Liu Zhiye waved his hand and said lightly: "Ah~ It's my job..."

He said to Banggeng seriously, "Banggeng, this is your first offense, so I'll let you go. If you do it again, I'll send you to a juvenile detention center."

Then, regardless of whether the other party liked it or not, he added: "Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, you must strictly discipline your children in the future. Spoiling a child is like killing him, otherwise you will regret it one day."

Seeing that the matter was over, he said to everyone: "Okay, it's okay, everyone go back!"

"It's gone, it's gone"

After that, he walked away without wanting to stay any longer. Wouldn't it be better for him to go back to bed early?

Qin Huairu walked hesitantly towards Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi, and whispered, "Uncle Yi, I'm so sorry for both of you. I'm going home to deal with Bang Geng. He's so unreasonable..."

Aunt Yi suddenly interrupted Qin Huairu and said coldly: "Qin Huairu, stop talking. How you deal with housework when you go home is your business and has nothing to do with us.

From now on, I think we should have no more contact. Our family really can't bear it." After saying that, she walked into the house without looking back.

"This...Aunt Yi, please listen to me..." Qin Huairu was anxious and wanted to follow up to explain.

Yi Zhonghai stopped her and said, "Huai Ru, you guys go back first! It's getting late, let's talk about it later." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded, thinking that bad things had happened. Now the two families were completely broken up.

"I say, do you want to come in? If not, I've closed the door!" Jia Dongxu urged irritably.

"Oh..." Qin Huairu returned to the house helplessly with a little disappointment.

When Liu Zhiye returned home, Gan Ning yawned. Seeing him coming back, he quickly asked, "Zhiye, what's going on?" He nodded and simply replied, "This is what happened..."

After hearing this, Gan Ning opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Ah! This little boy is so naughty! How did his family educate him?" Liu Zhiye shook his head and sighed: "What kind of education is this? If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. His grandmother was not a serious person, and his father was like this when he was a child. What good can be taught by words and deeds?"

Gan Ning's eyes sparkled, as if she was gossiping: "I heard that his grandmother and Master Yi... ahem, is that true?"

Liu Zhiye shook his head and said disdainfully: "Why bother with those trivial matters? It's late at night, let's go to bed early."

"No, please tell me quickly, I can't fall asleep for a while..." Gan Ning seemed to be interested and begged him.

"What's there to say? It's all just some bullshit...it just adds to your troubles." Liu Zhiye turned over helplessly and said with his back to her.

-

The end of the month is here in a blink of an eye.

Liu Zhiye once again set out on a journey to Tianjin Port. This time, the transaction location was still the hidden harbor. The harbor was quiet and suitable for secret transactions.

He followed Hao Shun and others into the fishing port, and the air was filled with the fishy smell of fish and shrimp.

Every early morning at the trading site is the busiest time in this small fishing port - after several days and nights of trawling, the fishing boats with full warehouses of fish and shrimp come to the shore to unload.

The fishermen who had just unloaded their catch were either smoking a cigarette, chatting on the side of the boat, or working in groups on the beach to sort out their fishing nets and carry fish and shrimp - the fishermen's work was very hard, they were exposed to wind and waves on the sea all year round, and their faces were mostly bronze, but they were still happy, calm and confident.

Hao Shun looked at his old friends and said with emotion: "They can have a good life today because of you." His words were full of respect and gratitude for Liu Zhiye.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, “Haha, we each get what we need, and you can live a good life without me.

"I noticed you caught quite a few fish this time, some of them are pretty big?"

Hao Shun said excitedly: "We were quite lucky this time. We captured several boats of migrating mackerels." It was undoubtedly exciting news that they successfully captured a large number of mackerels.

"Come on, I'll show you around." As he said that, he took Liu Zhiye onto one of the trawlers.

"Look, these are mackerels..." Hao Shun said, pointing to the boat full of blue mackerels.

Liu Zhiye took a look and said curiously, "Isn't this a Spanish mackerel?"

Hao Shun smiled and said, "Yes, Spanish mackerel is the name used in Dongshan Island City. Its scientific name is Spanish mackerel."

"This kind of fish is the most delicious when eaten in this season."

How could Liu Zhiye not recognize this fish? His hometown in his previous life particularly liked to eat this kind of fish. They also had a tradition that sons-in-law had to give their fathers-in-law a pair of fresh Spanish mackerel in the mid-spring around the time of Grain Rain, commonly known as "Spanish Spanish mackerel gift".

The bigger the Spanish mackerel is, the more respect the son-in-law has for his father-in-law. Hence, the folk saying “When the Spanish mackerel jumps, the father-in-law smiles” was derived.

The father-in-law who is happy to get the big Spanish mackerel will most likely call the mother-in-law to braise them, cook them at home, or pan-fry them. More likely, he will chop them into stuffing and wrap them into dumplings with thin skin and big belly.

The obsession with the fresh, fragrant, glutinous and chewy鲅鱼水卷 is not unique to their hometown. The entire Jiaodong region of the peninsula, and even foodies across the country and even the world who have tasted this delicacy, often want to eat it all their lives.

The Chinese name of Spanish mackerel is Blue-spotted Spanish mackerel. It also has many local names. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are called "Chuanwu" and are revered as the first delicacy of spring; in the small country on the other side of the East China Sea, they are called chūn, which has the beautiful meaning of spring fish.

Spanish mackerel are most delicious and plump in spring and summer. In the first year of its birth, Spanish mackerel can grow to a fork length of 42 cm and weigh more than one jin. A two-year-old Spanish mackerel can reach a fork length of 2 cm and weigh more than two jin. They grow throughout their lives, but the growth rate slows down significantly after the age of two. A Spanish mackerel of 55-2 years old can reach a fork length of about 7 cm to 8 meter and weigh about 70-1 jin.

Liu Zhiye asked happily: "How many kilograms of mackerel did you catch this time?" As a Jiaodong native in his previous life, he loved to eat this kind of fish the most.

Hao Shun silently estimated: "There are six large boats of fish in total. Each boat is estimated to have 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms of fish, so it should be around 500,000 kilograms!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, saying, "Then please help me calculate how much money I will need in total."

Hao Shun responded excitedly: "Our total seafood this time is more than 1.3 million kilograms. If you give us a whole head, the cost will be 195,000 yuan."

After the transaction was completed, Liu Zhiye seriously reminded them to be careful. After all, wealth should not be shown off, so as not to let others target you.

"Also, stop blindly expanding your privateering fleet. You could handle the small-scale operations before, but now you're doing it on such a large scale, do you think the government really can't see it?"
