Chapter 52: Unwritten Rules

Chapter 52 [Unwritten Rules]

Zhang Erling and Yang Daxuan came back a little later than usual, and it is estimated that the two of them went out on the boat together for the first time, and the cooperation was not smooth, and they were still in the run-in period. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe fat man was a little excited, and as soon as he came back, he chattered about how he successfully completed the task assigned by Brother Qing, in fact, he felt more fun, after all, he was the age of fun. Yang Daxuan didn't feel anything, he just shouted that he hadn't been out of the boat for a long time, and even the oars couldn't shake the rope. Although he also has some expectations for the matter of the pigs, he actually doesn't have much confidence.

When Li Qingshan asked about today's fish harvest, Zhang Erling was a little depressed, today is similar to yesterday, there are only three live fish, and the others are already in a dying state, and the number is not much, only less than ten, no wonder Zhang Yutou is too lazy to get up the net. Fortunately, Li Qingshan bought a lot of fish from Gu Laoqi early this morning, and the daily cormorant training had been completed, so Li Qingshan didn't care.

"It's okay fatty, tomorrow, the pig's belly has been put down, I believe there will be a good harvest tomorrow," Li Qingshan patted Zhang Erleng's shoulder and comforted him confidently, "...... I have faith that unless all the fish in the lake are blind, then I will admit it! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, you two should know each other with your friends of the same age in our village, right?" ”

Zhang Erling didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so he nodded inexplicably, but Yang Daxuan turned his head to look at it and said casually: "The village is so small, we grew up together when we were young, so we naturally know each other." Aoyama, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

Li Qingshan thought about it, and had to roughly say what happened today. Hearing that he is now the second owner of the North and South Wine Shop, Yang Daxuan was a little dumbfounded, and Zhang Erling was even more surprised that the barrel in his hand almost fell to the ground.

How did I get out of the boat and come back, I felt that a lot of things had happened, and they were all things that people couldn't believe.

Yang Daxuan listened to Li Qingshan's experience this morning, and then asked, "Okay, Qingshan, even if what you just said is true, what does this have to do with those hairy boys in our village?" Do you want to call them and work in your shop? ”

Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "I really want to call them as many as possible, but it's not to work in the shop, I want to wait for the night when it's dark, let's team up together to catch fireflies." ”

"Brother Qing, why are you catching so many bugs? Why don't I just go with you, why do I have to call so many people? Zhang Erren was afraid that someone would rob him of his job, so he screamed nervously.

"Fatty, of course you have to catch insects! Catch more bugs to catch more fish! ”

Li Qingshan immediately told the two of them about his idea of forming a fishing boy scout, Zhang Erling was so excited that he clapped his hands and applauded, but Yang Daxuan was disdainful, frowning and not speaking.

Zhang Erleng pointed at Yang Daxuan with his hand, "Brother Qing, if you look for Brother Daxuan in this matter, you will find the right person!" Let me tell you, the friends in the village, all listen to my big brother! Brother Xuan, did you say? ”

"Really? Why? Li Qingshan turned his head to look at Yang Daxuan and asked curiously. Could it be that Huang Laoxie is not Chen Haonan, but Yang Daxuan?

Zhang Erling didn't think about it and said: "Because Brother Da Xuan regards them all as his younger brothers, who bullied people and didn't look for Brother Da Xuan?" ”

As soon as he said that, Zhang Erling realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and hurriedly looked at Yang Daxuan secretly.

Sure enough, Yang Daxuan's face was not good-looking, but he did not deny Zhang Erleng's words, but said to Li Qingshan with a cold face: "Qingshan, you are thinking about this now, it's too early, right?" It's not that the eldest brother hits you, your pig belly doesn't know if it works, if it doesn't work, isn't it a joke to be so popular......"

Yang Daxuan paused for a while, and then said: "Let's talk about the matter of forming a team tomorrow!" I don't know if it works! ”

After finishing speaking, he went home sullenly, Li Qingshan stuck out his tongue and turned his head to look at Zhang Erleng, "Fatty, what's wrong with my brother?" ”

Zhang Erling looked at Yang Daxuan's back, stuck out his tongue, touched his hair with his wet fat hands, and said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just that I said something that shouldn't be said, which reminded Brother Daxuan of some unhappy past...... Brother Qing, don't talk about it, I'll go back too......"

Seeing that his expression was different, although Li Qingshan was curious, he didn't ask much, but said: "Fatty, when it gets dark, I will call you to catch insects, and try to catch more today." ”

Zhang Erling said hello, and went home with a fish basket, thinking about how to explain to the irascible old man about going out of the boat without permission after returning home.

================

After eating lunch, Chen Ruolan sent Wang Liu to send the first batch of supplies, gypsum powder, wheat flour, glutinous rice, washed pig bones, etc., although there is not much glutinous rice, but there are more than ten catties of weighing. Wang Liu also brought Chen Ruolan's words, saying that in a hurry, he could only prepare these first, and within a day or two, a large amount of glutinous rice would be sent over.

"Li Gongzi, my eldest lady said that the cuttlefish bones on the list may take longer because they are not produced in this area, and I ask Li Gongzi to wait patiently for a few days."

Li Qingshan's mouth was good, thanked Wang Liu, and sent him out.

In fact, the problem of cuttlefish bones is not big, and it can be replaced by other things, but Li Qingshan didn't say anything about this matter.

This is along the Yangtze River, and according to Li Qingshan's speculation, it should be in Hubei. Cuttlefish is squid, although this mollusk has evolved for more than 20 million years, but it has not evolved the ability to survive in fresh water, so cuttlefish bones are not common here, occasionally seen some, but also mostly in the pharmacy, the amount is not large, and it is not easy to supply a large amount.

Li Qingshan also wanted to use this thing to test Chen Ruolan, if it was really as she said, the merchants and caravans she cooperated with were all over the country, then this matter should not be difficult for her. Otherwise, it means that she is bragging, and her words will be discounted in the future.

Although the two sisters are bright and pleasing to the eye, when it comes to business, it is not enough to rely on their faces to look good, Li Qingshan naturally knows this truth.

The villagers have prepared most of the things they have prepared. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Laoxie took more than a dozen villagers and some items to be used, and came to Li Qingshan's house as promised, and came in batches to listen to the class.

In the evening, the first day of classes was over. Although the villagers are all honest, they are very familiar with farm work, and these things that are more practical are difficult for them, and everyone is basically only responsible for a small part, so on the whole, the situation is somewhat more than Li Qingshan's expectations.

Regarding the remuneration, he also roughly discussed it with Huang Laoxie and the villagers, and finally determined a suitable number, and distributed the money from Chen Ruolan to Li Qingshan, and then took out a certain percentage to distribute the villagers who gave strength. The villagers didn't have much idea of the proportion, but Huang Laoxie converted it slightly according to the previous price, and the specific number he finally got was a little scary, and several uncles called it impossible on the spot.

If there is such an income, it is equivalent to planting several acres of land every year!

In fact, the villagers' requirements are very low, as long as the whole family does not starve and freeze, it is a mercy and gift from God. Between the words, Li Qingshan could even feel the humility behind their words, the helplessness of the turbulent situation, the desire for a stable life, the expectation of smooth weather, and the contentment of coarse tea and light rice.

This is one of the most unpretentious groups in Chinese history, and their ease of satisfaction with life even makes Li Qingshan feel slightly sad.

As soon as it got dark, Zhang Erling came to call Li Qingshan, this fat man's childlike heart was blazing, and his enthusiasm for catching fireflies was higher than Li Qingshan's. The two of them kept catching a full jar before going home, if it weren't for Li Qingshan dragging Zhang Erleng hard, this fat man would probably be able to catch it until dawn.

Early the next morning, Li Qingshan went to the market again and bought some pig's head meat, and of course brought three pigs' gizzards by the way. When passing by the fish stall, Gu Laoqi was already selling fish there.

The net is going to be set up today, Li Qingshan has some expectations, he should be able to catch fish, right? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the stall next to Gu Laoqi. If you're really catching fish, you can come here and set up a stall, right?

It was still early, and although the fixed stalls in the middle were already full of people, there were not many people setting up temporary stalls along the market wall.

Because he bought ten fish at once yesterday, Gu Laoqi recognized Li Qingshan at a glance, but in his opinion, Li Qingshan obviously had another layer of identity.

He glanced at Li Qingshan, "Boy, I heard that you are the baby of the Yang Garlic family?" ”

His tone was the same as yesterday, not friendly, Li Qingshan just glanced at him silently, did not answer, and acquiesced.

A big man with a bare chest and exposed breasts next to Gu Laoqi also set up a fish stall, but the amount of fish was obviously less than Gu Laoqi, he heard Gu Laoqi's words, turned his head and glanced at Li Qingshan, and smiled at Gu Laoqi: "Brother Qi, is the Yang garlic you are talking about the old man who sells bricks?" ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Laoqi laughed, and teased in a bitter tone: "I haven't seen that funny old brother for many days, ha, I don't know if all those bricks have been sold?" ”

The big-chested man laughed exaggeratedly, "Brother Seven, don't be funny, someone really buys that brick?" ”

"It's strange that people miss it, if Yang Garlic still comes to sell bricks, I don't need to be so boring, Seventh Master, I can have some fun, haha......"

"Brother Seven, why don't you pay for a piece of him, he tastes the sweetness, won't he come and sell it every day?"

"I'd love to buy it, but what's the use of the broken bricks? It's still expensive, and I don't know where to put it when I buy it......"

……

The two sang and harmonized, completely treating the baby in front of them as a transparent person, which made Li Qingshan inexplicably angry.

After a long time, Gu Laoqi seemed to have just suddenly seen Li Qingshan, "Hey, boy, your eyes are rolling around here, don't you want your son to inherit his father's business and continue to set up a stall to sell bricks, right?" ”

Li Qingshan suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Seventh Master, right? To tell you the truth, I really want to set up a stall here, but this time it's not about selling bricks, which have already been sold out......"

Gu Laoqi and the big-chested man were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison uncontrollably.

laughing so much that tears were about to come out, Gu Laoqi asked, "Then you don't sell bricks...... Sorry for making me laugh...... What are you going to sell this time? Tile? ”

Li Qingshan still had a calm face, and responded without humility or arrogance: "Whatever the Seventh Master sells, I will sell." ”

Gu Laoqi was stunned again, and then patted the chest of the big-chested man and said with a smile: "Gu San, did you hear it, people are going to rob us of business, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm so scared!" Gu San looked at Li Qingshan amusedly, making a self-righteous expression, obviously not taking Li Qingshan's words seriously at all.

A man who looked like a small official not far away heard the movement here, walked over and asked, "What happened?" …… Gu Laoqi, are you bullying other people's hairy boys again? ”

"Brother Xu, don't talk nonsense, am I Gu Laoqi such an unbearable person? This little brother also wants to set up a fish stall, doesn't this ask me for experience? Gu Laoqi put away the sneering expression just now and pretended to say.

Li Qingshan glanced at what this Brother Xu was wearing, and knew that he was the city official who maintained order in the bazaar, he was very young, obviously at least ten years younger than Gu Laoqi, only in his early thirties, but Gu Laoqi called him Brother Xu, it seems that it is really a county official who is not as good as the current management, and it has been the case since ancient times.

He ignored Gu Laoqi's words, greeted this Brother Xu politely, and then asked, "...... I want to set up a fish stall here to sell fish, but I don't know what the rules are? ”

Brother Xu wanted to set up a stall when he saw that he was not very old, and he was a little surprised at first, but when he saw that his gestures were not as frizzy as other hairy boys, he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, but he didn't dare to underestimate him, and said at the moment: "Little brother, this is originally a temporary stall place, anyone can set up a stall." If the rules are not complicated, they are usually first come, first served. If you want to set up a stall, I advise you to come as soon as possible, occupy a good stall, sell more, and go home early. ”

Li Qingshan nodded, but pointed at Gu Laoqi's stall: "Was this stall bought by the Seventh Master?" ”

Brother Xu's expression froze, and he glanced at Gu Laoqi blankly, but he still replied: "It's not, Gu Laoqi came early, and this stall is in the best location, so naturally he will occupy it." ”

"Oh," Li Qingshan immediately laughed, "Then if I want to set up a stall in his stall, I can only come before him?" ”

He said casually, but Gu Laoqi smelled the smell of gunpowder in his words, stood up from his small stool violently, and said with a sideways face: "Boy, dare to love, do you really want to grab the territory of the seventh master?" ”

Gu San next to him obviously had a lot to do with him, and at this time, he had already stood up, glared at Li Qingshan angrily, and helped Gu Lao Qi to become stronger.

Brother Xu saw that the two of them were bullying the small, and he couldn't help but cough, and the two of them relented.

Gu Laoqi obviously had some scruples in front of Brother Xu, thought about it, and sneered: "Boy, this son is not who came early, Seventh Master, I came late, and no one dares to grab my territory, because there is an unwritten rule here." ”

Li Qingshan turned his head to look at him: "What rules?" Let's hear it. ”

"Who here doesn't know the Seventh Master's fishing skills?" Gu Laoqi was quite complacent when he said this, "...... The rule is that whoever has more fish can set up a stall here, and if there are fewer fish, they can stay next to them. There has always been the most fish for the seventh master here, so let the neighbors let it, this stall has always been my Gu Laoqi! ”

Gu San also interjected: "By the way, boy, Zhang Yutou is from your village, right?" If you don't understand, go back and ask him, he knows best, because he has never set up a stall on the seventh master, hum......"

Li Qingshan frowned and thought for a while, as if he had heard Uncle Zhang complain about the seventh child of the Gu family. Well, new hatred and old hatred, let's settle it together.

"Okay, then I'll do as the locals do. If I have more fish than the seventh master's, the seventh master will have to obediently give me the stall, right? Seeing that Gu Laoqi was noncommittal, Li Qingshan turned around and arched his hand towards Brother Xu, "Then ask the Xu city official to make a proof, don't admit it when the seventh master loses!" ”
