Chapter 55: The Garlic Thief
Chapter 55 [The Thief Who Stole the Garlic]
Huang Lao's heresy said this after careful consideration. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What kind of existence is the seventh child of the Gu family? He is the most proficient fisher within a radius of several miles, relying on a fishing rod to mix rice, digging earthworms every day, which is equivalent to more than a dozen acres of fields planted by other people's families.
But this awesome seventh master on weekdays was actually moved to the corner at this moment, looking at his face, it seemed that he had suffered a serious internal injury, which was really pitiful. Also, the arrogant man on weekdays was actually suffocated by the rules he set himself, can he not be depressed?
If it is said that Zhang Yutou did it, Huang Laoxie is the first to express his disbelief, just Zhang Yutou's fiery temper and ability to turn over Gu Lao Qi, can he endure it to this day?
Although he is old, his heart is brighter than anyone else, and he does Gu Qi, except for Li Qingshan, who is a baby, and he doesn't think about it as a second person. What Zhang Yutou said to Xu Shiguan just now confirmed his guess even more.
Although he doesn't know what method he uses, but this ability to drag fish from the lake, who has learned it, isn't it a great blessing? With this skill, you can reach the wealth of your family!
So he immediately remembered what Li Qingshan had asked him before, and he also twitched several big mouths in his heart, regretting why he didn't take this baby's words seriously at that time.
At this moment, Li Qingshan looked at Huang Laoxi, blinked his eyes, and suddenly laughed evilly, laughing so much that Huang Laoxi's heart panicked.
Huang Laoxie obviously didn't want him to see through his true thoughts, so he hurriedly said: "Baby, do you want manpower?" If you want it, the old man will tell you to go, why are you smiling so much? ”
"Manpower, of course I want it, I'm short of people here, I've been short for a long time." Li Qingshan's words changed, "But Uncle Huang, if I take them to do something weird, don't whip me with shoes when the time comes!" I was pumped by you yesterday, and my ass still hurts. ”
“…… What could be stranger? Huang Laoxie thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of it, so he had to ask helplessly: "That's it, baby, you tell Lao Yu, if those babies follow you, what is the first thing?" Say it and let the old man evaluate it, and the old man can make a decision! ”
Li Qingshan tilted his head and thought for a long time, and then replied seriously: "Uncle Huang, it's still early, if it's too late, I think I'll take them to catch insects as soon as it's dark." ”
"Bugs? What bugs? Could it be an aphid? Huang Laoxi's expression perked up, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Getting rid of aphids is a common thing for farmers, and it's a good thing, although it doesn't seem like a fish from a lake that can be hit with eight poles.
Li Qingshan shook his head, and quickly extinguished this hope, "It's catching fireflies!" ”
Huang Laoxie was stunned for a moment, but he was not too surprised. After the soy sauce made from moldy soybeans and the bricks made of glutinous rice and gypsum powder, the old man's immunity to Li Qingshan has decisively risen to a certain height.
"You said it's a firefly, it's a firefly, right?"
Li Qingshan nodded yes.
"You're not the first to catch this kind of bug, there are people before you who are ahead of you...... But speaking of which, no one in our village reads, and if you catch it, it's useless, so it's better to go to the field to help the villagers catch some aphids! ”
Li Qingshan knew that he must have remembered the story that Che Yinsang had read again, and immediately shook his head, "Uncle Huang, you guessed wrong, I didn't catch this insect to read books, but what the hell is it for--I can't tell you." If you want this fishing scout to get started as soon as possible, I also have the conditions - no matter what I take them with me in the future, you can't stop it, you can't ask about it, you can't get to the bottom of it. If you can't do that, I think it's ...... Forget it. ”
The corners of Huang Laoxi's mouth twitched, this baby, and talked about the conditions!
He was about to sternly refuse, but the corner of his eye swept away, and the two big baskets of fish at the feet of Zhang Yutou's father and son were too conspicuous, and he hesitated a little at the moment, brushing his beard and groaning.
No, if you agree to this baby's conditions so easily, you won't talk to me about the conditions every day in the future, and you have to pretend to hesitate for a while.
Li Qingshan knew the method of adding carrots to sticks, and since the sticks were swung out, he naturally had to throw some carrots, so he immediately added: "In addition to the above conditions, you arrange for me to have ten babies who can fish, and then find me five boats in the village, each boat is equipped with ten nets, and I promise that the whole village will have fish to eat every day...... Well, just like Uncle Zhang, if you don't say how much he can sell these fish today, this fish head will definitely not be able to be eaten. ”
Not all the people in the village are foodies, but these two baskets of fish are enough for the whole village to eat for a day. If there were five times as much, it would still be ...... every day
Huang Laoxi's eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights, for Yellow Ant Village, this is a great thing!
If others dared to say such a big thing in front of him, he would definitely not say a word and smoke him with shoes, but the Yang family's baby is also evil, and there seems to be nothing impossible in him......
Huang Laoxie gritted his teeth, with a desperate posture, and it took a long time to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Deal!" ”
=================
handed over the so-called fish stall to Zhang Erleng to take care of, and when he came out of the market, Li Qingshan was in a good mood.
In addition to the three pork briskets that I just bought, there was also an extra cormorant on my shoulder. Although there was a faint tingling sensation on the cormorant's sharp claws on his clothes at this moment, this did not affect his good mood, but he felt a little funny, and even muttered "Sui Dynasty version of Cai Kangyong" to laugh at himself.
The crow on Cai Kangyong's shoulder is always just a shape, and the bird on his shoulder is genuine.
Tang'er's two copper runs were used by him to the maximum, pig brisket, table salt, and some other raw materials used to make licking bricks. Yesterday morning, he also told the farmers who sold pheasants and hares in the bazaar that their wild duck buying plan had been restarted, but they must be alive and not injured. In order to expand the scale of cormorants as soon as possible, he even said that he could pay an additional five coppers on top of the previous price.
The market always follows a certain law, there is demand, as long as the price is reasonable, there will be supply. It's only been a day since I released my words, no, there are results today. The farmer took the money and asked him if he wanted it, and after hearing Li Qingshan's affirmative answer, he slapped his chest with a horn, "This little brother walks slowly, I promise that there will be tomorrow!" ”
So much has happened in these two days. After three months of obscurity, God seems to have finally taken care of Li Qingshan.
Although he is indifferent by nature and is at peace with what happens, he actually has a plan for the future in his heart. No matter when or where you are, life always has to go on, and no one wants to live in a mess. Soy sauce, licking bricks, cormorants...... Now that these are finally on track one by one, everything seems to be going according to his plan, and he likes the feeling, and even the manpower problem that he has been having a headache before is now a little eyebrow-raising.
The beautiful blueprint in his heart, in addition to the need for capital to support, manpower is also a very important part.
With his reputation in the village in the past, if he wanted to recruit people to help him do those seemingly absurd things, it would be a trick to die, but now that Huang Laoxie is in front to help him, at least this problem is not so much of a headache.
It's easier to get rid of Huang Laoxie than to get everyone.
When passing by the North and South Wine Shops, I saw Chen Ruolan from a distance looking through the account books seriously behind the counter, frowning from time to time. She changed her clothes again today, the colors are not very bright, but a little plain, and she only has a simple bun on her head, but it is difficult to hide the beauty between her eyebrows and eyes.
As if feeling the gaze of his gaze, the woman at the counter raised her head and took a look, and when she saw Li Qingshan from a distance, she put down the account book in her hand, got up and walked out, and waved at him.
"Li Gongzi, it's early." Chen Ruolan smiled and said hello, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the cormorant on Li Qingshan's shoulder.
Getting closer, and smelling the faint body fragrance wafting from her body, Li Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, this woman is like her name, like a dark orchid in the empty valley, independent in the world, always so elegant and calm.
In contrast, his current appearance is really a bit strange. The pig belly in his hand is enough to thunder people, and there is still a cormorant standing on his shoulder, looking around, if it weren't for the feet being tied, I'm afraid that it would have flown away long ago. Although there is Cai Kangyong here, the other party is not a small S, but more like a ......
Li Qingshan racked his brains, and finally couldn't find a suitable person to compare, no matter who she was, it was difficult to have her classical beauty.
He smiled at the woman in front of him, "It's not early, the sun is old, Miss Chen gets up early every day, I came here early yesterday morning to buy something, and I hope you get up early to get busy." ”
"The old people all said that if they start early on the third day, they can work for a day. When we open the door to do business, we naturally can't care about time, and we have to get up early if we can get up early. If you are lazy, I am afraid that Li Gongzi, the second owner, will not follow ......."
"I'm ashamed to say that my second owner was also sent by Miss Chen, and I didn't make any efforts, when I am busy for a while, I will go around the shop and see what I can help, I can't just name and not do things." Li Qingshan said and put the wooden barrel in his hand on the ground, and then he freed one hand and tidied up his clothes.
Seeing the wooden barrel, Li Qingshan remembered something again, "By the way, Miss Chen, is our wine shop selling fish well?" ”
"Fish?" Chen Ruolan seemed a little surprised, "In the past, it didn't sell much, but since I had Li Gongzi's soy sauce, I was also wondering if I could increase the supply of fish, steamed fish with soy sauce, I have been tasting it for the past two days, and the taste is really speechless...... Speaking of which, Tang'er is now indispensable for a meal, and this girl was still clamoring to kill her and not eat it......"
Speaking of her sister, she laughed again, and after a while, she asked, "Why did Li Gongzi suddenly ask about fish?" ”
Li Qingshan pulled the rope in his hand, trying to calm the cormorant on his shoulder, "...... Miss Chen, there are a lot of people in our village who catch fish, if the price is the same, can we buy their fish first? ”
"This ......" Chen Ruolan hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is naturally okay." It's just that most of them are retail investors, and the amount of fish is not estimated to be much...... Well, why don't you gather all the fish in the village and ......?"
Li Qingshan shook his head and smiled: "Miss Chen, although they are retail investors, they don't have a lot of fish. ”
"Huh?" Chen Ruolan obviously didn't believe it.
"Otherwise, I'll tell them in advance that before they go to the market, they will send the fish to the shop and report my name. Then you will buy according to the amount you need, and ask them to sell the excess in the bazaar themselves, and the price for them will be equal to the current price...... Isn't that good? ”
Chen Ruolan hesitated, a little unsure of how to answer. There are only a few retail households in Yellow Ant Village at most, how can they not eat a few catties of fish from such a big shop? She is naturally clear about the fish harvest of ordinary fishermen, although she has only been here for two days, she has roughly touched the surrounding situation.
Seeing that Li Qingshan asked earnestly, she had no choice but to deal with it and said, "That's ...... Okay, since Li Gongzi said so, then listen to you, they caught fish, just bring it, I will follow what Li Gongzi said later, and let them pay attention to it......"
How could Li Qingshan not see the doubts in her eyes, but listening to her promise, although she knew that she had some ingredients to deal with, she was also happy in her heart, as long as she nodded, this matter would not run.
As for the number of fish at that time, and whether the shop can swallow them all, that's another story. He doesn't have much resources at hand now, but the fish he catches in the future can be expected, which he is very confident in now, so he has to make use of all the sales channels that he can use.
Since he is the second owner of the shop, this kind of welfare must be won for the Yellow Ant Village.
After the matter of the fish was settled, Chen Ruolan also had something to say, "Master Li, there is one thing I want to inform you in advance. ”
"Please."
"The wheat flour used in brewing soy sauce, I'm afraid you need to buy more in the near future, and I will also help you pay attention to it, and try to buy some goods first."
Li Qingshan was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
Chen Ruolan sighed softly, "Recently, news of insect plagues has come from time to time in the surrounding places. In a month or two is the harvest period of wheat, and if such a thing happens at this time, it will inevitably have an impact on the price of wheat flour. ”
"Insect plague?" This matter obviously aroused Li Qingshan's interest, he looked at Chen Ruolan's flawless face, and asked urgently, "Does Miss Chen know what kind of insect plague it is?" ”
"I didn't ask about it, and the source didn't say anything specific." Chen Ruolan looked at the large wheat fields in the distance, looking worried, "...... I hope it doesn't spread, it's rare to have a good weather this year, I just hope that God can open his eyes and let go of the people of this world......"
"How can God know the suffering of the world......
Li Qingshan followed her words and took a few words, and the two stood and chatted for a while, each expressing their opinions on the insect plague and people's livelihood suffering, and then talked about the shops and markets here. After that, Li Qingshan finally gave up.
After returning home, Li Qingshan put the newly arrived cormorant in a bamboo basket and carried a bucket of fish straight to the pond.
Today's fish is the largest day ever, and more importantly, these fish are all caught by themselves, so the cost is relatively low, which makes Li Qingshan more confident in the future of cormorants.
When he returned home after training, he saw Yang Daxuan sneakily cating in the corner of the yard, and he was obviously startled when he heard someone coming home, and when he saw that it was Li Qingshan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingshan put the empty wooden barrel on the side, turned his head and glanced at Yang Daxuan, "Big brother, you ...... What are you doing stealing your father's garlic? ”
