She stood up, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Do you remember that when we inquired about the characteristics of various hotels in Stone City, we rarely saw fish?" ”

Su Cheng nodded, it is true, Shicheng is an inland area, there are no rivers around, although the lack of water is not as strict as the town, but there are no large areas of resources to raise fish, the smile on the corner of Xia Jingyu's mouth is getting deeper and deeper:

"In that case, why don't we bring fish from the seashore as a specialty of our store?"

Su Cheng hesitated, this method does not seem to be a problem, because although the seaside is a little far away, but Wang Da took the cart to start rushing from the early morning, and it takes about half a day to reach the town, and then make a carriage from the town, if the driving is a little smoother, two or three days is enough to reach Shicheng.

It won't take a long time, at least if they make a complete transport route in fifteen days, there will be no problem, and the economy of the small fishing villages is generally not high, so that their costs will not be too expensive.

But...... Su Cheng frowned, such a close place, such a special dish, it is not a day or two here, why is no one practicing it?

Xia Jingyu guessed the question in his heart: "This matter will definitely not be as simple as we think, otherwise we will not leave the opportunity to us, there must be some difficulties in the actual operation, and we need to improve." ”

Su Cheng was silent, it was indeed the case, but I don't know if this difficulty, with the strength of the two of them, can be solved smoothly. Xia Jingyu continued:

"Su Cheng, this is our only chance, after all, there is only a short fifteen days, and it will be delayed on the road to and from the small fishing village for four or five days, if this method is not successful, we may think of other methods, and it will be too late, if Wei Zeyuan does not agree to help us this time, we will rely on the speed of Baiwei Zhai to develop." One day you will have the ability to build what you want, but now there is a shortcut in front of you, don't be in vain, don't miss it lightly. Tomorrow we will go back to the small fishing village and inquire about the situation. ”

Su Cheng thought for a moment and nodded: "If you can solve the problem of fish, do you guarantee that someone will be willing to eat what you make?" ”

"Of course." Xia Jingyu replied quickly. On her recipes, there are a lot of seafood processing methods, and the recipe in her hand is still quite reliable, otherwise Baiwei Zhai's business will not be able to continue to be so unique until now.

Early the next morning, Su Cheng went to contact the carriage, Xia Jingyu appeased Su Xiuxiu, and thought about taking the eldest son home by the way, so he brought the eldest son with him. The eldest son sat in the car steadily, and when he first came to Shicheng, his expression and temperament have changed significantly, and his eyes also have a bit of aura, no longer the original dull appearance, less corroded by the sea breeze for a few days, even if the work she is doing now is not light, but after rough maintenance, her hands are a little more delicate, and she is also wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes. Appears dry and fitted.

Although it didn't take a long time to come out, the eldest son was still homesick, and she sat in the car, unable to hide her excitement. Xia Jingyu casually asked the eldest son a few questions, and instilled some thoughts in the eldest son, telling her that she was here to help the boss of Baiwei Zhai do something.

The eldest son has been until now, and he still has no doubt about Xia Jingyu's words, and Xia Jingyu deliberately hinted at Miao Le, so that the eldest son should believe it intentionally or unintentionally. Qingfeng is the serious owner of this shop, and the eldest son is almost stupid and believes what others say.

The procedure is similar to that of the past, they came to Duan Jinxiu's house, there are people in the house, Si'er is cooking at home, the house is filled with a smell of rice, and the blanket on the bed that is black and unclear in color has also been replaced, and now there is a small thin quilt brought back by Xia Jingyu last time, Si'er saw that Xia Jingyu was coming, and pounced: "Sister." ”

When I saw my eldest son again, I was even more surprised and shouted: "Sister, you have become beautiful." ”

The eldest son was a little embarrassed to pull the hair of the sideburns to the back, recently she followed Miao Le, Miao Le occasionally taught her to comb her hair, taught her how to clean herself up, she is not as introverted as she used to be, plus her appearance is a lot cleaner, the whole person looks really beautiful.

The eldest son squatted down and touched his younger brother's head: "Why are you at home?" "According to common sense, generally speaking, there is no one left in the home at this time.

Si'er put down the kitchen utensils in her hand and looked at Xia Jing: "Thanks to the things that Sister Xia brought to our family, with those, the food and clothing at home is not so tight, she brought some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and she didn't need to spend money at home to buy it, so my mother let one of us go out to work for a while, and come back early to cook and eat." ”

When the eldest son heard this, he also smiled gratefully at Xia Jingyu, so he cordially took Si'er's hand and asked about the situation at home, Si'er looked at his sister, and suddenly said: "There was a matchmaker at home a few days ago, and I want to come to inquire about you." ”

Xia Jingyu was startled, and subconsciously pinched Su Cheng's shoulder, and Su Cheng looked at her suspiciously.

The eldest son himself seems very calm, after all, for a girl like her, it is normal for someone to inquire about this matter at this age, and when the marriage is decided now, it is so logical to marry out in a year or two.

Si'er continued: "She inquired about a family, and the person she wanted to introduce to you is sixteen years old this year, from a neighboring village, and the family conditions are the same as ours...... It turned out to be about the same. But the parents are sick in bed, there is an older brother above, and they just started a family two years ago, but they don't have children yet, so the money they earn is used to subsidize the family. ”

Si'er tried to recall, probably said everything he heard one by one, the more Xia Jingyu listened, the cooler his heart became, such a marriage is simply the combination of Chiguoguo's needs for reproduction, and he didn't even describe how the man was, only talked about the man's family background, what made her a little uncomfortable was that the eldest son was silent, and seemed to be thinking about this matter, which really didn't feel anything to her, the girls in the village, when they reached a certain age, would find someone of the same age nearby and marry them out.

Not long after, Duan Jinxiu and they came back, the eldest son saw the family, and pounced happily, Duan Jinxiu was busy hugging her daughter, and she was not separated for too long, she was also full of misses.

Everyone sat down happily, Duan Jinxiu gave up the main seat to Xia Jingyu and Su Cheng, Xia Jingyu didn't shirk it, she came here this time to be busy, and she had to ask questions about fishing at dinner.

The eldest son didn't know the purpose of her trip, so he first asked what he cared about:

"Mother, just now Si'er said that a matchmaker came to tell me about someone."

"Si'er, a fast-talking boy, I'll tell you." Duan Jinxiu responded while eating: "The age difference between that person and you is not very big, and he is also a sound man with both hands and feet, I still think about it, when I am not busy in a few days, I will ask the matchmaker carefully, you are not young this year, and it is also a lot more reassuring to settle this matter." ”

"Then it's going to be a hassle for my mother." The eldest son didn't ask much, and the topic ended here.

Xia Jingyu's face was not good again, and she put down the chopsticks in her hand: "Eldest son, marriage is a big event, why can't you have some ideas of your own?" This is not to buy anything in the store, if you don't like it, you can throw it away and replace it, this is a lifelong event, and if you don't choose well, you may have to suffer for a lifetime. ”

The eldest son was shocked, this was the first time she had heard someone say such things to her, although Duan Jinxiu had always been grateful to Xia Jingyu, but she also felt that her daughter's marriage should have been decided by her parents, and her daughter didn't say anything, she was an outsider saying this here, what did she mean, and the tone was a little blunt at the moment: "My daughter's marriage, I will naturally give her a good check, I don't feel sorry for my daughter, whether that person has any bad habits, whether he has done bad things, I have to inquire clearly, and I will not wronged the eldest son." Miss Xia, you are also a girl's family, how can we be old women in this regard, you don't have to ask. ”

Xia Jingyu couldn't smile bitterly, they felt that marriage was that the person's limbs were sound, and the character was just in the past, completely ignoring whether the two people were suitable or not, whether there was a feeling of love, was it really just a blind marriage and dumb marriage, and the first time they saw the bride was when they entered the cave room and lifted their heads?

The eldest son is too, she has been in Shicheng for so many days, and she has seen some of the world, but in this matter, she doesn't want to refute it at all, but feels that it is normal, no matter what this young man is, at least they have to get along together for a while to know if the two are suitable.

So, regardless of whether the eldest son appreciated it or not, she continued to say again: "The eldest son has been working outside with me for so long, the owner of this family pays her every day, and the treatment is very good, if she returns here after getting married, she will not have to live a fishing life again, I think that if the eldest son finds a family in the stone city and continues to work here, it should be better than staying in the village." ”

Speaking of this, Duan Jinxiu also hesitated, she could also see from the eldest son's current state that the eldest son had a good life in Stone City, and if he returned to the village, he would definitely have to repeat their original hard life.

However, can the eldest son really talk about people in Shicheng, she is a little shaken, if she doesn't agree to come down now, the eldest son is older, and there are fewer marriageable young men, what should I do if it is difficult to marry in the future.

She remembered again, the matchmaker said, the family is not very anxious to settle recently, because the young man does not seem to be in a hurry to get married, the matchmaker also said, if you don't believe my old woman's mouth, you can wait for next year, go to that family to see for yourself.

In this way, it can be postponed until at least next year.

Duan Jinxiu thought about it a few times in her heart, and had an idea: "Since the eldest son is good there, the mother is not willing to drag you to suffer here, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to marry there, it is better for you to work there now, and next year, if you don't meet the right person, come back and get engaged." ”

Xia Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, after a few more months, things would take a turn for the better. (To be continued.) )
