188 Losers
Su Muling was full of faction, and walked away without looking back.
The shopkeeper sighed deeply behind them. The loss of a business is a small matter, which makes people doubt the strength of his restaurant.
In winter, the weather is cold, and the yellow diamonds in the hands of the fishmongers have risen several times compared with usual. As the cost increases, the price of vegetables naturally rises. When many people heard the price of the food, they scolded the restaurant for being too dark and asking for the price.
But this dish was canceled, and someone came to look for it again. Ay! It's hard to do!
Su Muling left the restaurant and walked a few more places, either the price of the dishes was outrageously high, or there were no yellow diamonds to do. At the end of the day, Su Muling walked through the restaurants in the town, and the situation was basically clear.
After spending one night in the town, Su Muling returned to the village.
Three days later, Su Muling looked at the two large wooden barrels fixed on the cart and nodded approvingly.
"Yes, I didn't expect Brother Ye to have this skill."
Ye Sanjin, who was praised by Su Muling, scratched his head embarrassedly and blushed: "I also added a lid to the bucket, so that I am not afraid of water spilling out." ”
As he spoke, he snapped the two large lids onto the bucket.
Su Muling stepped forward and tried to shake it a few times, and was very satisfied. "Now that the bucket problem is solved, let's start fishing tomorrow."
"Good. I'll bring the fish early tomorrow morning. Ye Sanjin seemed to have seen the silver of the white flower beckoning to him.
The next day, Su Muling got up early in the morning, without powder on his face, all the jewelry on his head, and his waterfall-like hair was simply tied up in a bun at the back of his head. She changed into a narrow-sleeved padded jacket and sheepskin boots. The whole person looks like a handsome young woman.
Before it was cleaned up, Ye Sanjin took his wife Ye sister-in-law and son Ye Hua to carry a few large buckets to send the yellow diamond over. The yellow diamonds were found by their family for several days.
Su Muling didn't have a scale here, so he asked Ye Sanjin to estimate the number of catties, and then asked Xichun to give Ye Sanjin five taels of silver first.
Ye Sanjin didn't expect Su Muling to be so generous, and the money was given to him before the fish left the village.
Ye Sanjin touched the heavy silver in his hand, and almost cried out excitedly, "Miss, this is ...... You gave me the silver first, this ...... Not suitable, right? ”
Su Muling smiled: "Give early and give late, you take it first." I'm going to explore the road today, and if it goes well, we'll discuss the date of the trip later. ”
"Oh, okay."
Ye Sanjin carefully sent the silver to Sister-in-law Ye. The family of three returned home with a thousand thanks.
In less than three minutes, Su Muling and his entourage, who had been bumpy on the road for three hours, arrived at Xiangjiang Town, because they were looking at the fish in the car, they were an hour later than expected.
Su Muling didn't care about eating, and went straight to the backyard of the largest restaurant in town. After parking the car, Su Muling asked the girl to invite the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
In the middle of the night, the chubby shopkeeper came out of the back door.
"Who's looking for me?" The shopkeeper's face was impatient.
"It's me." Su Muling lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
The shopkeeper looked like a handsome little woman, and her face looked better.
"What's the matter with me?" The shopkeeper looked at Su Muling's familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Shopkeeper, I have the best fresh yellow diamonds here, I don't know what the shopkeeper needs?"
"Yellow diamonds?"
The shopkeeper glanced at her, no matter how she looked at Su Muling, she didn't look like a fish seller.
"Shopkeeper, please look."
Su Muling led the shopkeeper to the front of the cart and asked Liushun to open the lid of one of the wooden passes, and the shopkeeper looked over and saw the frightened yellow diamond scurrying around in the barrel.
"Well, the fish is fresh, how do you sell it?" The weather was cold, and the price of selling live fish in the town began to skyrocket. This yellow diamond is already rare, and I am afraid that the price is not low. The shopkeeper's heart is ready.
Su Muling raised his head and quoted the price: "According to the lowest price, one hundred wen a catty." ”
"One hundred pounds?"
The shopkeeper thought he had misheard, and repeated it with a glare.
Su Muling thought he was too expensive, so he covered the lid with a straight face: "You go and inquire, where is the price of a hundred wen this season?" If you think it's too expensive, I'll find another house. ”
"Don't, look at you, why are you so anxious? said that I would like to have a hundred pounds, how many you have, I want them all. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Su Muling, and he didn't want such a cheap yellow diamond, his brain was in water.
"You want it all? There are forty or fifty here, hundreds of catties. Did you sell it out in one day? ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "I don't bother you if I sell it out, as long as it's at this price, you come every three or five days, and I'll wrap it up every time, how about it?" ”
"Okay."
Su Muling knew that her offer was tempting. It also makes sense to come once every three to five days. It's not realistic to travel such a long way every day.
Su Mu ordered Liushun to open the lid, and the shopkeeper checked that there were no dead fish, and immediately called a man, weighed the fish and put it into the water, it couldn't be sold out in a day, as long as there was water, the fish would be fine if it didn't die.
In the end, Su Muling got ten taels and two dollars. With the silver in hand, Su Muling took everyone around to the main entrance of the restaurant, swaggered into the lobby and chartered a private room upstairs, and called the shopkeeper to ask for a table of dishes.
The shopkeeper had never seen a fishmonger sell fish and go directly to the store to eat and drink, and his eyes were so shocked that they almost fell to the ground.
"Shopkeeper, do you have anything else?"
Seeing the shopkeeper's stare at them, Su Muling put down his chopsticks and asked dissatisfiedly.
The shopkeeper realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly exited the house, closing the door from the outside. Before he could take a few steps, he heard Su Muling's hearty and happy laughter in the room.
The shopkeeper's mouth snorted: "Loser girl! He went downstairs in a gloomy way.
Su Muling took Pomegranate and Wufu Liushun to eat a full stomach, and then found an inn nearby, put down the carriage and went shopping energetically.
Xiangjiang Town is not a small town, Su Muling bought all the way, salt, sesame oil, and seasonings have purchased a lot. Pomegranate saw that Su Muling was staring at the seasoning, and laughed if she wanted to cook by herself to learn one more craft, Su Muling smiled and did not answer.
Passing by a bookstore, Su Muling went in again to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, a large pile of books and a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings. The main house, the West House, is uninhabited, and she wants to clean it up and use it as a study.
Leave the address of the inn and let the guys from the bookstore deliver the things to the inn. Su Muling came to a shop selling furniture again. According to the size of the room, Su Muling chose the smallest bookcase, bookshelves and a circle chair, and Su Muling ended the purchase.
After resting in Xiangjiang Town for one night, early the next morning, Su Muling set off back to Yaohu Village.
Xichun knew that it was almost time for them to come back, so she stood guard at the door and watched.
Welcomed Su Muling into the house, washed his hands and face, and Si Feng had already set the meal.
Liu's mother complained distressedly while serving her to eat: "Although it is spring now, it will be cold for a while, and the eldest lady can't run so hard for irrelevant people." If the eldest lady wants to help them, give him a few taels of silver and it will be enough for them to use for a year and a half. ”
"There will always be a time when I will run out of money for him, but I have found them a way to make money, so that they can use it for the rest of their lives. I know that you feel sorry for me, I will only go this time, and next time I will let Liushun and Wufu go, I can enjoy happiness at home? Su Muling treats Mother Liu like a mother, and she will listen to Mother Liu's words to some extent.
"That's right. When he came out, the master confessed that he couldn't let the eldest lady suffer a little grievance and suffer a little hardship. If you let the master know that the eldest lady helps people sell fish, maybe the master will vomit blood in anger......"
Mother Liu was nagging on the side, but Su Muling's eyes followed Wufu Liushun who was carrying the bookshelf to the West House.
"Mother Liu, go over there and take a look, I'm afraid they won't be in a good position."
"Okay, I'll go."
Liu's mother stopped her chopsticks and went over to work as a supervisor.
Su Muling's roots were clean, and he went to bed and lay down after eating the meal in a big gulp.
The road from the town to the village was in disrepair, and her bones were falling apart along the way.
After sleeping and waking up, it was almost dark, and Liu's mother came in to see that she was awake and brought a padded jacket for her to put on.
"Just now the village chief came and said he wanted to visit Miss." Su Muling sat in front of the mirror, and Liu's mother combed her hair.
"He said he didn't say anything?"
"I didn't say it."
Su Muling was silent, she knew that she couldn't hide the fact that she helped Ye Sanjin earn money. She dared to say that the whole village wanted her to help make a fortune at this time.
"Ignore him for now." Su Muling was haunted by the harassment of the village chief's son when he first arrived at the village chief's house.
"You and I will go to Brother Ye's house to sit in a while."
"Bring a packet of salt and sugar." Su Muling then added.
Mother Liu brought Su Muling a cloak and put it on, and stuffed a soup woman in Su Muling's hand, and then lifted the curtain to let Su Muling go out.
Su Muling's arrival made the Ye family scramble. Sister-in-law Ye hurriedly washed and washed the cup, wiped the chair and wiped it, poured hot water and brought it to Su Muling.
Su Muling stretched out her hand to beckon her to her side, took the salt and sugar from Mother Liu's hand and put them in Sister-in-law Ye's hand.
"I bought it in town and gave it to you."
Sister-in-law Ye opened it and saw that it was white sugar and salt, and she was excited. "This ...... How good is this, his father ......"
"Sister-in-law, Brother Ye helped me make a wooden barrel and gave me so many fish, this thing can be regarded as a little thank you of mine."
Su Muling said very sincerely, and Sister-in-law Ye nodded happily.
"Nobleman, really noble......"
Su Muling knew what they lacked most, in this remote place, sugar and salt were things that silver could not buy.
"Brother Ye, I came to discuss something with you."
"Miss Su has something to say." Ye Sanjin pulled a small stool and sat down from a distance under her signal.
"How many people in the village can fish?" Su Muling had to get first-hand information first.
“…… There are Uncle Gao's family, Qiu Xiaoshan's family, and Shen San's fat family, plus me, a total of four. ”
"Whose boat does it belong to?"
"The boat was built by the people of the village, and every time we went to the lake to fish, we would give a few to each family in the village."
It turned out that this was the case, Su Muling thought for a moment and then spoke: "I'm afraid that what we have been doing in the past two days is known to everyone in the village. I was thinking, it's not a good thing for one to be big, and if several others want to join, I can't refuse. So Brother Ye, you have to be prepared, I will have a car, and I will have to rest for a day when I go out and come back, so I am afraid that these interested companies will take turns to buy them. ”
"That's no problem, the yellow diamond is not easy to catch, and it will take a few days to save enough for a car. Miss Su sold it for us at such a high price again. Even if it is the turn once a month, it is a lot of wealth for a family like ours. We are content! ”
Su Muling likes such people, contented and not greedy. If Ye Sanjin was greedy, she would kick him out.
