Chapter 42: Selling Fish
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaoshu went back to Qinghua Village, brought four stonemasons at noon, first went to the back mountain to carry back two large stones, and then stood in front of the courtyard gate and began to carve. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Luo Yi glanced at it, and then didn't pay attention to it, he was busy with his feet not touching the ground now, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to this.
The four dogs came to help every day, harvesting the rice, drying the rice, and then packing it in a cloth bag and moving it to the warehouse for stacking.
For more than ten days, he took the villagers away.
During this period, Liu Hua still did not come, not even a little news, he seemed to have forgotten the events of the previous days, and what was even more suspicious was that he did not even mention the matter of land resumption, and the peace between Qinghua Village and Liujia Village seemed to have returned to the past, quiet and terrible, like well water, without waves.
Luo Yi was even more suspicious, even if Liu Hua was holding back something bad in his heart after being beaten last time, it was time to do it now, but there has been no movement so far, which is definitely not normal.
But it's still the same sentence, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, even Liu Hua didn't come to make trouble, Luo Yi can't always make a thunderstorm on the ground, so he can only wait quietly, hoping that when the storm comes, it won't be too violent.
Today, Luo Yi took out the money in his pocket and calculated it, in addition to the wages paid to Yu Xiaoshu and others, there were still more than 400 yuan left, and the home still needed to be renovated, and there were many places to use the money.
Luo Yi made a mistake for a while, and he was poor again...
Before the construction of the villa, he said that he would pay the villagers, but the construction of the villa is almost completed, and the villagers have not received any remuneration except for the load of grain seeds that the villagers carried back before.
Although the villagers didn't mind, Luo Yi kept thinking that even Yu Xiaoshu and the others had three dollars a day, so the villagers should have this price, otherwise it would never be fair.
According to thirty people, at least one person should give three hundred wen, that is, a total of nine taels of silver, which is reasonable.
This is undoubtedly another astronomical amount, like a big mountain, pressing on Luo Yi's heart.
In fact, when it comes to money, there are too many places where it can be used, if there are hundreds or thousands of taels, take it directly to Chang'an County, then Liujia Village is nothing.
After thinking about it in his heart, Luo Yi decided to find a way to make money, and only with money can he be hard!
In the final analysis, isn't the Liu family rich, bribing officials and forcibly recovering land, which strengthens the prestige of the Liu family, if their money can be more than the Liu family, then everything will be easy to do, and the affairs of Liujia Village can be easily solved.
After making up his mind, Luo Yi began to think hard, what was the most profitable thing to do in the Tang Dynasty?
"Xiao Yi, come and eat."
Suddenly, the voice of Liu Laohan came from the hall.
The meal had been set, and Yu Xiaoshu and other villagers were coming down from the roof.
Luo Yi's thoughts were interrupted, he came back to his senses in a trance, looked at the hall, put aside the matter of making money, walked into the hall, and prepared to eat.
At the dinner table, Luo Yi thought of the pair of stone lions again, walked to the door and looked at it, turned around and said, "Yu Xiaoshu, how are your pair of stone lions?" Is it engraved? ”
Yu Xiaoshu's eyes seemed to be a little evasive, but his face was full of smiles: "Brother Xiaoyi, don't worry, how dare I neglect what you order, it has already been carved, but it is majestic, definitely more powerful than the pair of Landlord Liu's family." ”
Luo Yi nodded, he just asked casually, he was not very interested in the stone lion.
Back at the dinner table, I continued to eat.
At this time, a villager sitting next to Yu Xiaoshu hesitated, raised his head and looked at Luo Yi and said, "Brother Luo, I don't think that pair of stone lions is very compatible with your house, so it's better to..." ”
Yu Xiaoshu was taken aback, and suddenly shouted: "What are you kid talking about, shut up." ”
Before the villager finished speaking, he was stopped by Yu Xiaoshu, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat.
Luo Yi saw this scene, although he was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, the stone lion did not match the villa very well, and it was not surprising that someone said this.
Liu Laohan said: "Since everything has been carved, don't move, it's a pity to move away." ”
"Hehe..."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, listen to my father, just stand there." ”
Yu Xiaoshuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to smile on his face.
Next, everyone didn't discuss the matter of the stone lion anymore, Luo Yi still took making money as the top priority in his heart, and after eating, he took Lannie out of the house and went to the fish pond to catch fish.
Although the crucian carp is not very valuable, if it is all fished, it can be sold for a few taels, and only with the capital can you think about the next thing.
The so-called money makes money, which is also on the basis of your original money, otherwise, it is not easy to do the white wolf with empty gloves.
When he came to the edge of the ridge, Luo Yi dug a gap in the ridge with a hoe and released the water.
Of course, the fish in your own pond can't use peach leaves, so you have to drain the water and wait for the fish pond to dry up, and then go down to pick it up.
After the last incident of the medicine fish, Lannie was not as excited as before, and the fish in the pond could not arouse her interest, so in order not to stain the new clothes, she simply sat on the edge of the ridge and looked lively.
Luo Yi had no choice but to do it himself, busy from noon to evening, and only went home when it was almost dark.
A full of fish, more than 100 catties, when I got home, I kept it in the water tank; Although it is difficult to feed fish in stagnant water, it should not be a big problem to raise them for only one night.
Early the next morning, Luo Yi took Lannie and pushed the fish to Chang'an City, leaving very early, and no one called.
Originally, he was supposed to call the four dogs, but considering that there were too many wounded in the village, and he was afraid that Liu Hua would enter the village to make trouble, he dispelled this idea and only took Lannie there.
The road was calm, and the two came to Chang'an City and walked into a restaurant.
Luo Yi, the boss here, knows that every time he goes into the city to sell goods, he is here, and he is slightly better dressed today, but he is not neglected.
Sold the fish to the restaurant owner and got a total of three taels of silver.
The owner of the restaurant chased him out from the inside and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, if you have chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, etc., you can get them here, I want as much as I want, and I will definitely give you a discount." ”
Luo Yi was about to leave, when he heard the words, he turned around and responded: "Well, when I have it, I will definitely send it to you." ”
With that, Luo Yi picked up Lanny into the car and pushed the cart in the direction of the city gate.
Soon after Luo Yi left, four officials came to this restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant hurriedly went out to greet him, and said with a smile: "A few officials, what's the matter?" Go in and have a drink, it's all for you. ”
"Who's free for your broken wine?"
The official who took the lead unfolded a portrait in his hand and said, "Take a closer look, have you ever seen this person?" I warn you, don't lie, for we will receive the news, and this man will come to you every once in a while. ”
The owner of the restaurant looked at the person on the painting carefully, and then nodded: "I've seen it, he was still here just now, is it called Luo Yi?" ”
The four officials were shocked at the same time, and then they were overjoyed, they didn't say the name of the person on the painting just now, and the restaurant owner was able to say it accurately, which shows that they have indeed seen this person.
The leading official asked in surprise, "Then where is he now?" ”
"No... I don't know, he didn't say, I didn't ask. ”
Seeing that there seemed to be displeasure on the official's face, the restaurant owner quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, no... He, half an hour ago, went in that direction. ”
As he spoke, the restaurant owner pointed to the direction where Luo Yi had left before.
The leading official snorted lightly, waved his hand, and shouted, "Brothers, chase me quickly!" ”
Immediately, the four officials quickly ran towards the city gate.
The restaurant owner wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, turned around and entered the restaurant, he made up his mind that he couldn't ask for Luo Yi's goods in the future, it was too dangerous.
