Chapter 51: Making small moves behind the scenes
How many koi fish can be sold for two taels of silver Xu Jianlin didn't know at all, and when he filled a wooden barrel, Xu Zhiyong finally came back to his senses.
Don't look at Xu Zhiyong, who usually doesn't talk much, but thinks long-term, he poured out half of the koi in the barrel and filled it with more than a dozen ordinary carp. Xu Zhiyong beckoned the two children to come ashore, Xu Hui took two koi with round bellies into the space, and asked Hibiscus to help find a place, and she thought of a way to make money, which was to sell koi.
It's always okay to keep it yourself and sell it!
"Let's get rid of some crucian carp!" The hibiscus has forbidden the crucian carp to continue growing and producing seeds, and if they are allowed to continue to reproduce in the space, they will be overcrowded.
Xu Hui put some fish, and those fish were seen by the sharp-eyed Xu Jianlin, and a bucket full of them was fished out.
"It's so much fun to catch fish like this!" Xu Jianlin looked at the wooden barrel in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears.
"Today's matter, you are not allowed to go out to talk nonsense about fishing before, Huihui's father will send you home first, and then go to the county to sell fish, you can rest assured, you will buy water bladders after selling fish, and then buy you some writing paper and pens."
"Oh, okay!" Xu Hui knew that her father was also trying to protect herself, so she obediently agreed.
The ox cart delivered Xu Hui to the door, and Xu Zhiyong watched her push the door in before the ox cart turned around.
"Huihui, why are you back? What about your father and Xiaolinzi? Deng Alian looked at her granddaughter who came back alone and was very surprised.
"My father and second brother went to the county seat to sell fish!"
"You ...... Caught a fish! "Deng Alian's words are not ordinary carp.
Xu Hui nodded: "In addition to two kinds of carp, there is also a bucket of crucian carp!" ”
The granddaughter can top several by herself, Deng Alian asked her granddaughter to go back to the house to rest, she walked to the kitchen while thinking nonsense, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for her granddaughter to have such a ability.
Xu Hui went back to the room and inserted the door into the space, and the brown hibiscus floated in front of her: "Why are you getting two fish in, do you want to turn the space into a fish pond?" ”
"These two koi fish have seeds, and when the little koi grow to the length of your thumb, you use your spiritual power to control their growth, and I can take out the fish and sell them!"
"Ha, you really know how to settle accounts, I don't do it, my spiritual power has to be used in the right place, and it can't be wasted!"
"I'll make you mushroom soup to drink!"
"Don't drink it!"
"Then what do you say!"
"Don't try to bribe me with a soup, I won't do it!"
"I'm going to make fresh mushroom soup, and I'm going to make a fruit salad, and I'm going to have another ......."
"If you want to cook, go and don't talk about it here, okay?" Hibiscus jumped onto Xu Hui's shoulder and said.
"You get off my shoulder before I can go!"
"How much can I weigh, I want people to help, but I don't want to behave well, you can't do it!"
Didn't you just say you wouldn't do it? Xu Hui secretly rolled her eyes, went to the kitchen to cook, and after drinking the mushroom soup, Hibiscus went to settle the two koi fish while saying that she had suffered a loss.
Xu Hui went back to bed and fell asleep, opened her eyes and looked out the window, the sun was about to set.
Put on her clothes and shoes, and tidied up her hair, Xu Hui ran to the yard, Deng Alian was sitting at the door with the soles of her shoes, and the two grandsons were the age of Fei Shoes, plus the son and daughter-in-law worked, and they had to make several pairs of shoes every month.
"Milk, the sun is about to set, don't do any work, it's not good for your eyes, I'll go make dinner in a while, you can rest!"
It's good to have a granddaughter, Deng Alian's subordinates kept and looked up at her granddaughter: "How old are you, how can your grandmother let you cook alone!" ”
"Haven't my father and second brother come back yet?"
"Not yet, it should be soon!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, the sound of shouting for livestock to stop sounded outside, and Xu Hui lifted her skirt and ran towards the gate.
Laboriously opened the door, Xu Jianlin ran forward and grabbed his sister's arm: "Those koi fish have been sold, guess how much they were sold!" ”
Where to guess this, but looking at the appearance of the second brother, he should have sold a lot of silver: "Let's talk about it in the first courtyard!" "It's not appropriate to talk about money at the gate.
Entering the hospital, Xu Zhiyong took out a bag and handed it to his daughter: "Your things are all in it!" ”
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Don't you thank me, today we were lucky, we met a family who returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, they were just about to enter the restaurant to eat, and when they saw the koi in our barrel, they bought them all and gave them all the silver!" Xu Jianlin stretched out two fingers.
Those koi fish must have not only sold for two taels of silver, but also more when they met rich or eunuchs, Xu Hui sent the burden back to the room, opened it and saw a brand-new water bladder, a thick pile of paper and two new pens, and two silk flowers with rough workmanship and bright colors.
I don't know who bought the silk flowers outside, and I don't like to wear this at all, so I put it on the table as an ornament.
When the family gathered around the table to eat in the evening, Xu Zhiyong solemnly warned his daughter that he could not go down to the river to fish like this in the future!
"Well, Daddy, I know!" Didn't you want to buy a water bladder for your uncle this time, otherwise I wouldn't have the idea of playing koi.
"After setting up the stall the day after tomorrow, I will send you to Yunxia Village, and ask your little uncle to help check the words written and the poems you memorize." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"This time, I'm going to stay at my grandmother's house until my uncle leaves!" Anyway, it's not a few days away, send away the little uncle and come back, Xu Hui wants to send the little uncle clear spring water, and wants to take it out of the space when he leaves.
"It's time to weed the fields, so you can stay at your grandmother's house for a few days!" Deng Alian clapped the board, every year when the crop seedlings came out about two inches, the Xu family would weed again, if the grass grew taller, it would take time and effort to remove it, not to mention, the weeding time would be prolonged.
When they went to the market stall again, Deng Alian and Zhou Xiaomei were no longer as flustered as they were at the beginning, and Xu Hui put the seasoning for making fish soup in a small cloth bag and handed it to her grandmother.
Shopkeeper Yang welcomed Deng Alian into the kitchen: "Old aunt, someone came over yesterday and asked me to let you go, or let me ask you for 200 yuan every time I rush to the market, I didn't agree!" ”
"Who is so lacking in virtue!" Deng Alian is angry enough, her family is just a small stall, and she will be targeted by people if she earns two hard-earned money, isn't this bullying?
Xu Hui thought for a while and asked Shopkeeper Yang: "Who is here, is it a young man or a little daughter-in-law!" She already had a suspicion in her mind.
"Listening to the voice, it was a man who was not too old, and that day he was wearing a hat and bowing his head, and I didn't see his face!"
"The guy who hides his head and shrinks his tail, he has the ability to compete with the gong and the drum in front of him, and what kind of ability is it to always make small moves behind his back!" Xu Hui muttered quietly.
After listening to her granddaughter's words, Deng Alian also guessed who did such a shameless thing, but she didn't expect that for the sake of a fish soup recipe, that group of people actually started to make trouble behind their backs, which is really shameless.
