Chapter 34 Fish Fry
With two hundred taels of silver in hand, Jia Lian felt steady. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
happily took Xing'er Wang'er and Wanzhuang straight to the downtown area, and Jia Lian was dumbfounded again.
As I said before, because the farming industry here is not developed, there is no one at all.
So where does the fresh river on the market come from?
The answer — wild catch.
After fishing, except for those that are sent to hotels and restaurants, the rest is bought on the market, but ...... At this time, Hexian was basically a corpse.
Jia Lian walked around the four cities of east, west, north and south for four days in a row, and occasionally saw two that could still be bouncing, but they were just dying.
"Second master, it's not a way for us to go on like this, why don't we go to Daming Lake to guard."
Xing'er is young, and after tossing for the past few days, her nose is full of fishy smell.
Daming Lake?
That's right!
Jia Lian's eyes lit up, and he patted Xing'er's head appreciatively.
"Good proposal, buy a roast chicken today for you to take back."
Onlookers cleared that Jia Lian had taken a detour because he was bent on buying fish fry and didn't make it clear to everyone.
Now that Xing'er reminded him, he finally reacted.
Jia Lian of Daming Lake knows that it is not far from the suburbs of Beijing. Most of the fresh fish on the market is caught from there.
Thinking of the dead fish he saw in the market before, Jia Lian thought about it and took out ten taels and ordered Zhuang Tou.
"We want live fish, and the fry are the best, and you can buy a dozen or so barrels, one on both sides of the horse."
agreed to go to Daming Lake early the next morning, and Jia Lian's anxious mood finally improved after a few days.
When he was in a good mood, he was generous, thinking that Jia's mother had played a role in the fight with Mrs. Wang before, and because he had been out early and late every day in the past few days, he was afraid that some people with bad intentions would wear small shoes for him, so Jia Lian simply bought the pastries outside when he bought roast chicken and brought them back.
......
......
"Well, Brother Lian'er is a good family, and even people are much more sensible."
Jia Mu laughed and told Sanchun, Jia Baoyu Jia Lan and others to divide the dim sum and joke.
Everyone laughed, Jia Baoyu raised his head again and opened his mouth to Jia Lian.
"Where has Second Brother Lian been these days, I went to look for you a few times after school, but I didn't see you."
Mother Jia was surprised when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Jia Lian.
"Yes, I was still studying at your uncle's place, why did you go back again?"
"My uncle said that it is useless for people like us to study, so I asked me to socialize more with the sons of various families and get more contacts, and my father also asked me to help take care of some things at hand, so I haven't been there for a long time."
Jia Lian opened his mouth respectfully, and by the way, he gave Jia Zheng some eye medicine in front of Jia's mother.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked up at Jia's mother, who only stared at her deeply, and then looked at Jia Lian with a smile.
"That's fine, that's the case, then you have to do things for your father, and now you have the title of Tongzhi, although you don't need to do anything, but when the paperwork comes down, you must remember to go to the daily order, don't do anything inappropriate because of our identity, and you must also remember to do more about those colleagues, so as not to dislike us behind others."
After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Wang again.
"In the future, whenever you go out to spend money, you will be put on the public account, and you can keep your pocket money for yourself."
Mrs. Wang was shocked, knowing that Jia Mu was still dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's approach. Jia Lian listened, but he didn't react at all.
Gongzhong was originally a big house, and Jia's mother's move was just to give him a decent face. Maybe Jia Lian would be really happy if he was in the past, but now he didn't go out to drink flower wine at all, so he didn't care about this.
Jia Yingchun was more intimate because of what Jia Lian said to him before, and when everyone turned their eyes to the baby egg Jia Baoyu again, she quietly moved to Jia Lian's side, took a package from the panting girl on the side and handed it over.
"I have nothing to do these days, so I asked Cui'er for my brother's size and made a pair of shoes, and my brother tried to see if they fit."
Five or six-year-old Xiao Douding, two slays of crimson flew on his face because of shyness, and Jia Lian was surprised and distressed.
The brother and sister quietly retreated to the corner, and Jia Lian simply took off his shoes and tried them on the spot.
Soft with comfort, thick uppers warm.
"It's a good fit, it's hard for you, I like it very much."
With an obscure opening, Jia Lian picked up the shoes and opened them, the thick soles of the shoes were densely packed with needles, and it could be seen that the person who did it was very attentive.
"In the future, don't do it yourself, just leave it to the people below to do it, you just need to study and read with your sisters, play when you are free, or go to me."
Jia Yingchun responded, and asked Jia Lian to help her say hello to Jia Yu.
After dinner, Jia Lian went back to look at the shoes that were placed aside, and simply came to Jia Yu's house again.
"My son went to say hello to the old lady today, and my second sister asked me to say hello to my father and mother."
Jia Yingchun is Jia Yu's concubine, raised in front of the old lady since she was a child, and she rarely sees her a few times a year. At this time, Jia Lian said that Jia Yu just nodded lightly.
"Okay, you tell her not to be naughty, she is the biggest among the sisters, you must know how to endure and please the old lady more."
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and looked at Jia Lian again.
"What's going on with that fish of yours, if you're short of silver, I'll give you some more in private?"
Jia Lian's heart was a little complicated, originally he thought that Jia Yu would ask more about Jia Yingchun, so that he could still talk about Jia Yingchun and find out if he could simply bring people back. I didn't expect Jia Yu to be so indifferent to this daughter's attitude.
While promising to explain the matter of going to Daming Lake tomorrow, Jia Lian secretly thought about how to speak.
Jia Yu's side was already impatient.
"There are a lot of things going on in the yamen today, and my father is tired, so if you have nothing else to do, quit, and tell your mother if you are short of money. Last time, the running officials were all public money, and I only invited people to eat two meals, so the money hasn't been touched yet. If you can't do more, you can still give it to you for three or two hundred taels. ”
Jia Lian was helpless, knowing that today was inappropriate, so he could only retreat and look for another opportunity.
Early the next morning, Jia Lian greeted Jia's mother, and fooled Jia Baoyu with two small stories such as fables and fairy tales, and took Xing'er Wang'er and Wanzhuangtou who were waiting at the city gate early to Daming Lake while it was still early.
The autumn wind was bleak, the leaves were withering, and Jia Lian couldn't help but shiver when he rode on the horse.
I used breakfast before leaving, but I don't think so. At this time, the morning was messy in the wind, and it turned out to be so cold.
The sky was white, and when Jia Lian and the others arrived, there were already many fishing boats docked by the lake. There was also the laughter of women, and the shouts of strong men, which were very lively for a while.
"Let's split up and see if it's alive first, and then ask if anyone has decided to come here again in a quarter of an hour."
Jia Lian still has this common sense, usually such a boat shop, there are already familiar restaurants to set the number, and only the extra ones will flow to the market. And some small boats, there are no merchants to cooperate, so they will pull down the market and sell them at nothing, but at that time, it was the kind that Jia Lian saw a few days ago, dead and warped~
