Chapter 40: Taigong
Looking at Yingchun, who was almost trembling, Jia Lian was helpless, so he could only coax him for a while before leaving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I have to take Wang Xiaoer to charter a boat today, and the fish harvested yesterday is too small.
Xing'er Wang'er knew that Jia Lian was hungry yesterday, and after meeting with Wang Xiaoer, the head of Wanzhuang, this time, he first paddled his stomach at a stall by the city gate, and a bowl of wontons per person.
"How is your brother, he was in a hurry to go home yesterday, he only glanced at it, and he didn't even say hello."
felt uncomfortable, Jia Lian didn't have much heart to eat breakfast, and while putting something in his mouth with a spoon, he opened his mouth casually.
Not particular about going out, Jia Lian deliberately let a few people also come to the table, and when he heard Jia Lian ask himself, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly put down the bowl and got up.
"Thank you for taking me in, Brother Wan has taken my brother to the hospital yesterday to correct his bones, and the doctor said that as long as he has a good life now, he will be all good in three or five months, and he will not leave the root of the disease."
Jia Lian nodded, and motioned for Wang Xiaoer to sit again.
After a few people finished eating and went on the road, Wang Xiaoer didn't know how to ride a horse, so he sat with Xing'er and the two of them, and the group came to the edge of Daming Lake again.
It's late today, and although there are a lot of big boats parked on the shore, there is no such thing as yesterday's bustling crowd.
Jia Lian had already told Wang Xiaoer about his plans earlier, so he was familiar with the way and directly brought people to a family with a boat.
"Taigong, that's what the second master means, as long as he only needs fish fry, as long as he catches all the fish he wants, the five taels of silver are yours."
Jia Lian and the first few of Wanzhuang were waiting outside the courtyard, and inside the fence, an old man and an old woman were mending the net.
When the old man heard Wang Xiaoer's words, he looked at Jia Lian, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard in rich clothes, and shook his head with a smile.
"This is easy to get, it doesn't take a whole day's work, it's just childe, old man, I will persuade you, what are you doing with that money to raise this thing, seeing that winter is about to begin, and when the water freezes, you will all die." It's better to wait for the spring of next year, when the weather will warm up, and it will be cheaper. ”
Jia Lianguaner, this old man is really simple and cute, much more heartwarming than the two yesterday.
Originally, the three acres of land were just an experiment, and if he lost it, it would be so much silver, and if he made it, he would expand the scale when the spring came.
After all, there are a total of about 30 acres of land on this Zhuangzi, and Jia Yu has bought more than a dozen households, and there are 20 strong laborers alone. Originally, it was okay to sell early-season vegetables, and each family shared a little silver, and made some money in Zhuangzi a year, if Jia Lian was now all used to raise fish, and then he would die, and the people on Zhuangzi would eat the northwest wind unless Jia Yu allocated another money.
"Don't worry, old man, you just need to help us catch it, we have a master to guide us, and we will live."
Jia Lian raised his voice outside the fence to agree, and when the old man saw that he said this, the master still insisted on going his own way, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Okay then, you wait for me to change to a small net, and we'll go."
In the old man's opinion, Jia Lian's behavior is undoubtedly a loser, but since he has said this, he is still happy to make this money.
He was old, and the captains of the boats were not happy to ask him to do hard work, so he could only cast some nets every day to catch some leftovers from others and sell them in the market.
Holding a boat to fish is both physical and technical. The old man rejected the proposal to let Wanzhuang and others go up to help, called Wang Xiaoer and called two strong guys to the house next door, and then carried a small boat that was not very big into the lake.
Jia Lian and the old woman were waiting on the shore, Jia Lian had a wind yesterday, and this morning he rode a horse again, his head was dizzy, and he only felt uncomfortable.
After waiting for a long time, when it was close to noon, the old man and Wang Xiaoer and the other four came back with a smile on their faces.
"Childe is lucky, today I met a school of fish, a small fish."
The old man said with a smile, Jia Lian looked at it, and there was a groove in the middle of the boat, and there was water in it, and countless small fish were jumping.
"Wow, Childe, this one is more fun than yesterday's."
Xing'er's child's temperament, because it was already installed yesterday, so he didn't see this scene, and he was excited at this time.
Jia Lian also saw this scene for the first time, and after being amazed, he hurriedly ordered Wan Zhuangtou to take out the wooden barrel used yesterday.
Four horses and eight buckets, four of which were left, and all filled with water.
"I heard you say that the place is not far away, if you don't dislike it, I'll go to Ergouzi's house and borrow the ox cart."
Jia Lian was helpless, but now the situation is greater than others, so he can only agree.
Because it was noon again, Jia Lian and others sent the fish to Zhuangzi, and simply invited the old man and the old woman to eat in the city together.
In the private room of Xinghualou, Jia Lian looked at the menu in his hand with a smile on his face.
In fact, in addition to eating today, I also want to see the sales. Now it seems that there is indeed a profit.
Xinghualou is a three-storey building, the lobby on the first floor is for the consumption of the common wealthy, the second floor is a private room, and the third floor is top-notch.
The menu is a wooden sign with one page of price parity and one page of features.
There are six river freshness in one restaurant, 500 Wen for boiled river shrimp, 100 Wen for braised carp, 150 Wen for crucian carp tofu soup, 1 tael of silver for steamed sea bass, 5 taels of silver for stewed soft-shelled turtle, and 200 Wen for steamed crab (1).
"Each of these six river freshmen will be ......"
His eyes moved down, and Jia Lian raised his eyebrows. The last dish of the specialty is obviously added later, and the ink is noticeably newer than the previous handwriting.
Roast venison...... Ten taels of silver a pound!
His eyes narrowed slightly, Jia Lian had a smile on his face, and even his drowsy head felt sober.
The barren mountain that rowed into Zhuangzi, he pondered for a long time.
"This venison also comes with a pound, and then a few dishes of vegetables and meat at random, and two pots of wine."
After Jia Lian finished speaking, Xiao Er, who was standing next to him, smiled on his face, rolled his mouth, and opened his mouth like a cannon. The speed was urgent and fast, and his voice was subdued and frustrated, and he actually reported the dishes that Jia Lian had ordered before.
"Yo, this mouth is profitable, Xing'er, you learn a little."
Jia Lian was amused and admired Xiao Er's kung fu.
personally poured tea for the old man and the old woman who looked uneasy, and Jia Lian comforted the two.
"Don't be restrained by the old man, you have to bother the old man in the afternoon, and the two eldest brothers are welcome."
The old man has been poor all his life, and when he heard Jia Lian say that he wanted to invite him to dinner, he just thought that he would order two dishes in the lobby to deal with it, but he never thought that he would be in such a magnificent place.
Worried, the two of them were grateful to Jia Lian, and they were afraid that they would stain the tables and chairs, and they didn't even know how to put their hands and feet.
"My old man, thank you for your kindness, it's just that where is such a place where people like us are deserved, it's better for Childe and the three little brothers to sit, and the four of us can eat something below."
Sitting like pins and needles, the old man couldn't help but speak for a long time.
Jia Lian smiled, pressed the old man back into the chair, and spoke again to persuade.
"Anything that can't sit is for people to sit on, you can use it with peace of mind, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me how to serve these fish, I am grateful to you."
