Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Fenggang came to the owner to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, he explained in detail to the owner about this trip to send the carriage.

On the twenty-ninth day, as soon as they arrived home, they were caught by the chief butler and arranged a lot of things. On the 30th, except for rushing back at noon to serve food and have a New Year's dinner together, the rest of the time was spent patrolling various villages in Liujialing. So it was only today that I was given the opportunity to report on the situation.

"We delivered the car to the customer and taught them how to drive it. The customers were very satisfied with the fact that the car was as written in the contract in every way. Later, when we said that it would be repaired for free within ten years, we didn't say anything, so we took out the picture album that we had shown them before, some of which were ordered for a short-distance carriage, and some of which were ordered for two. Together with other orders introduced by these customers, we have received a total of five long-distance motorhomes and eleven short-distance horse-drawn carriages. Have you read all those order information? ”

The silver ticket and the order were recovered, and on the day he returned, he handed them over to the owner who was helping in the town at the time. He came today mainly to report the details and see if the lady of the proprietor had anything to ask him.

"I've seen it all, you're doing a good job, there's nothing wrong. Did it all go well? "Seven cars, Erya arranged for fifteen people, all of whom were sent by those who had participated in the special training. She feared that some of the customers who had made the carriages were in collusion with the bandits. Therefore, she asked Wu Fenggang and them to secretly check who was the most suspicious, and especially to pay attention to their own safety.

Wu Fenggang shook his head, "When we come back." It was smooth all the way. In the case you encountered, I told each of our customers exactly what you said. Most of our customers say they haven't mentioned it to anyone. Only one customer said that it was possible that he did not pay attention to the occasion and caused you this disaster! ”

"Oh?" Er Ya and Xiaohu both looked at Wu Fenggang suspiciously, and Wu Fenggang turned over the situation that the customer said.

The customer said that he was drinking with his friends in the restaurant that night, and when he saw you walking down the street with a large group of people, he couldn't help but tell his friends about spending 10,000 taels of silver to buy our new carriage. His friend said at the time how dare he place such a big order with a stranger. When he explained, he mentioned the contracts of several other companies that you showed him that were registered with the government, and said that they all paid the same 30% deposit. This customer assures me. His friends are infallible and will never have anything to do with bandits. The only possibility is that someone overheard their conversation while he was talking. Wu Fenggang then added: "Personally, I don't think that customer is a liar." ”

Wu Fenggang said that this customer, Erya and Xiaohu have an impression. He is a reclusive person who has returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion with a high status. There's no need to lie to people like them who don't have much social status. Besides, in order to persuade the customer who was still hesitating, she picked up the previous business negotiation set, and used other customer orders to stimulate the customer's desire to buy, which is also her own fault. However, since she knew that it was not one of the clients who was a gangster, she had nothing to worry about.

Today, Wu Fenggang came to visit the New Year with Lai Mingxun's family, and they mainly wanted to thank Xiaohu's family. Because they plan to go back early tomorrow morning. So I knew that today was not the time for guests with foreign surnames to come to visit the New Year, but I still came.

The two couples finished talking to Wu Fenggang. chatted with Lai's family about family life.

"It's snowing so hard, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go back!?"

"We drove the ox cart slowly, and it took more than ten days to get home. The official road here is easy to walk, and it's okay if there is snow, and when we get to the place where our road is not easy to walk, it is estimated that the weather can be dried on a sunny day. ”

Erya was a little surprised: "Ah! How long will it take you to make this trip? It's not easy. Do you also grow rice in your family? But three crops a year? Do you have your own land or do you have other people's fields? She doesn't know how to talk to people, but she is the host, and she can't force the guests to take the initiative, so she has to ask some common sense about the farm.

Lai Mingxun's mother is not in good health, so she generally doesn't speak, but only purses her mouth and smiles beside her. The people who replied were all Lai's grandmothers, "Go back to the words of the lady of the East Family!" We usually grow two crops of rice and one season of wheat, and sometimes we also grow rape. I have three acres of paddy fields in my house, but the location is not good, just on the edge of the reeds, and birds often come to grab grain, and the harvest is not as much as people's two acres of fields. Originally, I planned to share a few acres of land with his grandfather this year and come back to plant, but my eldest grandson and his grandfather have other plans, so it depends on how the eldest grandson arranges. ”

Erya turned her gaze to Lai Mingxun, and Lai Mingxun hurriedly stood up and replied: "Go back to the east lady!" I wanted my grandfather and my dad to make silk lanterns to sell at home, and my grandmother and my mother raised ducks in the rice fields to replenish the family's meat vegetables. He will not farm in the tenants' fields. ”

When Lai Mingxun saw that the lady of the owner family heard his words, he frowned and thought about things, and immediately became nervous, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead. I want to ask but don't dare to ask! The grandfather of the Lai family, who was talking to the owner next to him, felt his grandson's nervousness, and also looked at the lady of the east family in a panic.

Although Erya thinks about things, it is not that she can't feel other people's emotions at all. Seeing that they were all quite nervous, he shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I just think that although Lai Mingxun's idea is good, it is not suitable for the physical condition of your father and your mother." Look at your father and your mother, they have to be supported by people every step of the way, where can they do anything? I don't think there will be a shortage of water since your field is next to the reeds, so I think the best way is to raise loaches in the rice fields. I'm worried about what I can do to keep the loaches from being eaten by the birds. ”

The grandfather of the Lai family was taken aback and interjected: "The lady of the owner! No one wants this loach, so it's useless to keep it! ”

Xiaohu and Wu Fenggang both laughed, and Erya had to explain to the Lai family's grandfather seriously: "Loaches are a good thing, and the medical books say that loaches are very good for little ginseng, and the price is also high." Although my family has raised a lot, many restaurants in the city still have to sell them for a limited amount of two catties when they come to buy from me. Because the demand is so high, we can't supply that much. ”

Seeing that the Lai family's grandfather was still hesitating, Erya added fire and said: "Especially like your son and daughter-in-law, who are extremely weak. If you use something else, it should be easy to get angry, but it will be harmful to the body. If you eat loaches every once in a while, make up for it. And that's it. If you raise loaches at home, some of them often make up for your son and daughter-in-law! And it doesn't take much trouble to raise loaches, as long as you pay attention when planting seedlings and cutting rice, don't step on the loaches, and in normal times, there is almost no need for people to serve them. When it's time to harvest, you should make more inverted gate cages for catching eels. It was filled with a little earthworm, minced meat or something, collected early the next morning, and then put it in a large water tank and put some lettuce oil to raise. We set a time for the acquisition. Because your home is quite far away, we have to go back and forth for carriage and horse accommodation, etc., so we will give you 35 yuan a catty. You don't need more than one acre of land, as long as you can harvest 500 catties. It's quite a high income. ”

The Lai family's grandfather's hands trembled a little. He listened to the lady of the proprietor's house say that one acre of land can harvest 500 catties, and then roughly calculated, three acres of land can earn fifty taels of silver a year. Is this possible? However, yesterday I heard them tell everyone that raising aquatic life has an income of more than 40 taels per acre of land, which should be true.

"The lady of the owner said, I also want to raise it, but I am afraid that the water in the field will not be able to be turned off if I raise loaches. This loach also loves to burrow! ”

"That's easy to handle. Make a fence with small eyes made of bamboo and tie it to the inside of the ridge. The loach can't burrow or run. Now it's just how to prevent bird predation and can't solve it! ”

Xiaohu said beside him: "Daughter-in-law! Is it okay to raise harriers? Harriers are very good at catching birds, and I have a lot of harriers at home, and now we don't have any birds in the whole Zhuangzi. ”

Erya smiled and pried Xiaohu's thumb, and praised him without hesitation: "You are still smart!" Yes, you can raise harriers and eagles! ”

The problem of bird damage was solved, and the matter of raising loaches in Lai's rice field was basically decided. In order to be able to pull more at that time, Erya explained to the Lai family again to see if there were any good relatives and friends. If she is willing to raise loaches or eels in the rice fields, she will buy them the same at that time. It's just that you have to say hello to her before raising, she has a good amount of control, and she can't be fully raised by everyone, and it will be troublesome if you can't buy so much at that time. But fortunately, in the first year, they still got here to get seedlings of loaches and yellow eels, and the number can be controlled, but I am afraid that after the family raises them in the future, it will be difficult to control them if they have a breeding loach and yellow eel. Hi! This matter can only be seen at that time, and maybe no one is willing to raise it yet!

Originally, the first day of the Lunar New Year was to eat at Grandpa's house, but this year, when someone came to the family, Xiaolong could only take the little ones over to eat. The couple stayed at home to entertain guests!

Er Ya took out green garlic, green peppers, and red peppers. Shred the bacon and prepare to fry the shredded yellow eel. The nurse was busy washing vegetables and cleaning up the yellow eel, and the grandmother of the Lai family sat in front of the pot hole to help light the fire without anything, and when she saw the fresh green and red peppers and green garlic that Erya took out, she said strangely: "Ouch! Do you still have such fresh peppers and green garlic this season? ”

Erya replied while cutting the green peppers: "The green garlic is grown in our family's greenhouse, and this green pepper is when it is about to go off the market in August and September, so I put the fresh green and red peppers in a basket with straw ash and save it." It's still fresh, right?! You can also keep it like this when you go back, and you can make a few more dishes when you entertain guests during the New Year. ”

"Hey! Thanks to the love of the lady of the owner, teach me when you are not busy, and when it is time to harvest the peppers, I will do the same. ”

"Okay! No problem! ”

After Erya finished cutting the shredded green and red peppers, shredded bacon, shredded yellow eel, and shredded garlic, he put them aside. I fished out almost a pound of loaches from the water tank where the loaches were raised, rinsed them with clean water and put them in a frame. Cut another piece of fat meat that was almost two or two heavy, and while shredding it, she bent over with a half-bent over, stretched out her head to look at her busy grandmother Lai's grandmother and said: "When you go back, you will spend money to let other people's families help dig loaches and yellow eels, and then put the small ones in the paddy field, and the big ones will be raised with lettuce oil for seven or eight days, and then just like me, you can just wash the outside without breaking your stomach." One and a half pounds of loaches are braised with two taels of fat meat to refine oil, if there is too much oil, your son and daughter-in-law's body can't stand it, if there is no loach to burn out, it will not taste good, and the oil of two taels of fat meat is just right. If you do it every three or five days, you can make up for it in half a year. ”

Grandma Lai nodded while listening carefully, and thanked: "Thank you for your kindness, and you are still thinking about our children's physical supplements." (To be continued......)
