Smack-

The crisp sound of whips exploded in the air, and the birds that roothed in the surrounding mountains and forests were also startled.

The sun is slanting in the west, and under the light, the mountains and forests are bright and dark.

An ox cart clattered along the forest path.

Zhao Shanlin held a long whip in his hand and sat on the wheel in front of the ox cart, his body falling down with the movement of the ox cart.

Behind him, the other three were lying horizontally or lying, in different positions.

Zhao Fuxiang leaned on the edge of the empty bucket on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Today, he spent too much time on it, whether it was selling fish, going to Qixiang Lou to discuss business, or the last time to buy and buy, it made him feel tired.

It's just that he can't relax at the moment.

In this matter, they will cut it first and then play it, and they can also use the excuse of verifying the truth of the method and letting it take some insurance back.

Once they conceal it, when the news of the fish soup in the city comes out, they will not only lose their excuses, but also offend the entire clan.

To tell the truth, if they offend the villagers of Shangwa Village, they may still have a way to live, but if they offend their clan and are removed from the clan, then they are like rootless duckweed, and it is difficult to survive in this chaotic world.

Therefore, whether he wants to or not, he has to go to the patriarch's house again.

Ay......

Zhao Fuxiang sighed, it was only a few days later, and he came to the door again.

However, there are pros and cons to this matter, from another point of view, if this matter is done, not to mention anything else, the five acres of dry land in the clan he had previously seen would also be settled.

No matter what the psychology is, the patriarch will never treat the meritorious people in the clan badly.

………

When they entered the village, it was still early, and most of the villagers were either going to the fields or fishing, but the four of them did not meet a few people.

Zhao Fuxiang looked at the sky and asked Zhao Shanlin to pull over the ox cart.

And he got out of the ox cart with the wheel.

"Boss, you go home first and put away all the things you bought."

"Tell your mother, make a mouthful of fresh fish soup and send it directly to the patriarch's house."

After saying this, Zhao Fuxiang waved his hand and asked the three of them to leave as soon as possible, while he himself went to the patriarch Zhao Furui's house with his back on his back.

Zhao Shanlin drove the ox cart and continued to walk back.

When the three of them arrived home, they found that the door was locked and there was no one at home.

Zhao Shanlin looked at the sky, and said in his heart that his mother was not at home, so she must have gone down to the river to fish.

Flip through the cuffs, take out the spare key from inside, unlock it, and pull the ox cart through the door.

Zhao Shanlin greeted the two brothers behind him, and the three of them hurriedly moved the cloth and grain on the ox cart into the main house.

The hall is spacious, and there is only one table that is usually used for eating.

The three brothers walked around the dining table and carefully put away the things in their hands.

It took several trips back and forth for the three of them to finish messing with the things on the ox cart.

Zhao Shanlin didn't forget what Zhao Fuxiang told him, and after he was done, he went out to find the Li family back.

Zhao Shanchuan led the ox cart back to the cowshed, and by the way, he fed water and soybean cakes to the cow who had been busy all day.

Zhao Shanhe didn't go back to the house, so he found a place to sit and rest in the hall.

Looking at the hall that was stuffed with food and cloth by their third brother, Zhao Shanhe felt a burst of joy in his heart.

This fish soup is really profitable!

………

Zhao Shanlin was worried about something, so he hurried away.

When I met the villagers who greeted him on the way, I also hurried and left quickly.

Soon, Zhao Shanlin arrived at the river.

Listen to the noise of a bustle.

"It's Shanlin, come to find your sister-in-law?"

"Well, Dad has something to do with his mother."

"Go quickly, your mother is under the willow tree in front of you."

"Uncle Fugui, I'll go first and talk back."

"Okay"

“……”

With a smile on his face, Zhao Shanlin greeted him all the way.

Under the guidance of the villagers, he saw Li under a willow tree.

At this time, Li was facing back to Zhao Shanlin to sort out the bucket in his hand.

The bucket was full of fish.

"Mother"

Seeing that Li was leaving, Zhao Shanlin took two steps quickly and hurriedly greeted.

Hearing someone shouting to him, Li Shi looked back.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

While speaking, Li Shi looked at Liu again, who was still bending down to catch fish in the water.

Liu pulled the cuffs of his trousers, catching fish happily, but he didn't pay attention to his man's coming.

Zhao Shanlin had already come to the Li family, and he nodded, "Mother, Dad has something to do with you." ”

Li hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Shanlin looked around, leaned over to the Li family again, and whispered, "Fish." ”

One word made Li understand that this could not be said.

Stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Shanlin on the shoulder, Li pointed to the two buckets of fish on the ground, "Carry it, go home together." ”

Without saying a word, Zhao Shanlin picked up the bucket and left behind the Li family.

Remembering Zhao Fuxiang's affairs, the Li family walked in a low-key manner.

It wasn't until the two of them left the river that Li found out what was going on.

"Dad asked you to make a pot of fish soup and send it to the patriarch's house."

Zhao Shanlin truthfully restored what Zhao Fuxiang said.

Hearing this, Li nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

didn't ask the reason, and the two didn't speak, so they lowered their heads and rushed home.

Pushing open the door, Li asked Zhao Shanlin to put the fish bucket in the shade, while she herself carried a fish to the well.

After cleaning up the river fish at hand, Li went to the vegetable garden to pick out two handfuls of wild onions and garlic mint leaves, pickled them simply, and then returned to the house.

In the hall, there has been a big change.

Li Shi entered the door and saw those things piled up in the hall, good fellow, this is afraid that this has robbed the store.

"What's going on? All sold? ”

While wiping the drops of water from his hands, Lee walked straight to the extra objects.

Casually lifted the straw curtain covering it, Li wanted to see the situation, but he didn't want to be blinded by the things inside the straw curtain.

He, cloth, grain, food, lard...... It's all treasures!

Li Shi swallowed his saliva, tentatively grabbed the grain and put it in his mouth to chew, and in the next second, a fragrant smell filled his mouth.

Well, yes, it's new grain!

Carefully wiped his hands and touched the smooth fabric, and Li's eyes brightened.

It's even better than the fabric she bought the year before.

"W-how much does this cost?" Lee spoke to himself.

Li was even more sure that the fish soup she brought with her must have been sold, otherwise, she would not have been able to buy these things with the silver money she gave to Zhao Fuxiang.

Zhao Shanlin hurriedly stood up and said the price of grain by the way, "These grains, plus those foods, are almost three dollars." ”

The main reason is that food is expensive, and eating can only be regarded as an increase compared to food.

It took three hangings! She only brought two hangings to Zhao Fuxiang!

Li Shi gasped, and intuitively felt that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, "Boss, you are not wrong?" How much do they cost? ”

"Three hangs," Zhao Shanlin said.

He understood Li quite well, after all, he had been surprised when he heard the price at the grain store before, but now he had accepted it.

What a triple hanging! Nearly a year's income for their family!

Li only felt too excited, and she was a little dizzy.

After a long pause, Li muttered to himself again, "It's been made, how much does this fish soup have to sell!" ”

If it weren't for the good sale of fish soup, Zhao Fuxiang would never have bought so much grain!

"Mother, you haven't counted the fabrics yet, and those were also bought together." Zhao Shanchuan interjected.

He went with him, and the price was very familiar.

He watched it for a long time, but he didn't see that his mother didn't ask, so he took the initiative to say it.

"These fabrics, including coarse cloth, cotton cloth, and water yarn, have to be counted, and they cost three dollars!"

After hearing this, Li's eyes widened directly!

Three hangs again!

How much did they spend on this trip to the city!

"Mother, the fish soup is delicious, the fish meat has doubled, and we have made almost four dollars just by selling fish today." Zhao Shanchuan explained the reason in front of the Li family.

Li summed up the prices in his heart, and said that this would be right.

I didn't think that the fish soup business could really be done!

The topic continued, and Zhao Shanchuan talked about them and Qixianglou again.

"Not only that, but we also met the manager of Qixianglou, and my father also talked about the deal with the shopkeeper Zhou of Qixianglou, and for three days in a row, our family will send 300 catties of fish to Qixianglou."

In other words, their family, at least in the next three days, will have two catties of small money in their accounts every day.

"You said it, but it's true?"

The Li family couldn't believe it, they didn't think that their family would take such a lucky path.

actually took the door to the restaurant in the city.

Although Li didn't know how powerful Qixianglou was, just by listening to the name, she knew that this was definitely not bad.

What's more, this is still a deal to talk about.

Zhao Shanchuan nodded when he heard this.

When we first talked about the sale, the three of them sat on the sidelines and listened clearly, of course, it was true.

"Good, good, that's great," Li clapped and laughed, as she instructed her three sons to move the fabric into their house.

How can this kind of precious thing be placed directly in the hall!

"The food is put in the miscellaneous room, and the door is locked so that it is not afraid of being stolen."

There are good things at home, and Li is always worried about losing them.

It just so happened that she bought a lot of locks, which came in handy.

After the cloth was put away, Li took a closer look at the pile of cotton and cloth that was half a kang several times, and then went out to make fish soup with satisfaction.
