Chapter 43: Gossip at Home
In the dead of night, everything is silent.
Zhao Fuxiang came back in the dark.
In the main house, a layer of cotton was pounced on the kang head, which was the new cotton that I had just bought today.
Lighting the oil lamp, Li Shi lowered his head in the light of the size of a bean, carefully picked the hard core in the cotton, and flattened the new cotton by the way.
For these ten catties of cotton, Li plans to make a gown for each of the gentlemen in the family, and it will be made before the next autumn.
"Boom-boom-"
Hearing the movement outside the door, Li shook his hand, quickly put down the cotton core in his hand, put on his shoes and went to the ground, and went out.
As soon as she went out, she collided with Zhao Fuxiang who came in from outside the door.
Zhao Fuxiang, who came in with a cold and damp body, stomped his feet and muttered in a low voice, "It's very cold outside, what are you doing when you come out?" ”
"It's okay, you go back to the house and rest."
Seeing that Zhao Fuxiang was fine, Li waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry into the house, while she lifted the straw mat behind her and turned around and went to the back cabinet.
After a while, Li entered the main room with a bunch of dishes and chopsticks.
It turned out that she was going to get the meal specially left for Zhao Fuxiang.
Moved out a half-human-sized kang table from the corner and put it on the kang, Li set up the dishes and chopsticks, and then pushed it to Zhao Fuxiang, "Hurry up, eat something and cushion it." ”
After saying this, Li took out the straw sandals and clothes that Zhao Fuxiang had taken off, opened the wardrobe on the ground, and took a clean set of clothes from it and put them on the kang.
Zhao Fuxiang sat at the kang table, picking up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.
The meal that Li left for him was sumptuous, not only the newly bought meat stuffed buns today, the fish soup cooked in the evening, but also a small bowl of oil zila, accompanied by black soy sauce on top, although it was cold, the oil zila was a little solidified, but the taste was very attractive.
Zhao Fuxiang is very hungry and doesn't pay attention to anything.
No matter what you find, you can stuff it into your mouth.
It wasn't until he felt less hungry that he slowly slowed down.
At the same time, there is time to talk about other things.
"No, the rest of the money for today."
Zhao Fuxiang took out the money bag in his arms and threw it to the Li family, who was sitting not far away.
Li took the money bag, opened the knot tied to it, and poured it down—
"Bang la la"
A shiny copper plate rolled around the kang.
Li blinked, threw away the money bag in his hand, and took out a small piece of hemp rope from his waist and abdomen, and then picked up the copper plate, counted them one by one, and ran up.
Ten is a pile, and a hundred is a section, and the Li family just counted and ran, just as a bunch of money came out.
Dragging the heavy weight in his hand, Li asked Zhao Fuxiang, "Today, how much have you sold?" ”
I bought a lot of things before, and now I still have a lot of money left.
Even if Li was prepared, he was frightened.
Zhao Fuxiang swallowed while chewing, "Well, all the fish I brought in today have been sold, and the ones I brought are less, and the back is not enough to sell, so it has risen a few points, and in the end, it is twice as much as before." ”
Lee's eyes widened when he heard this.
He, the nearly 1,000 catties of fish were actually sold!
"The fish soup tastes good, and those people in the city love to eat it."
"Ming'er has to prepare more, by the way, I have to send an extra 300 catties to Qixianglou."
Zhao Fuxiang said on his face that the clouds were light and light, and the waves were not alarmed,
When Li heard this, his heart was overjoyed.
Doesn't this mean that they will sell more and make more money tomorrow?
"Okay, bring all the fish at home," Li rubbed his palms and nodded, "It just so happens that we have caught a lot of fish today, and we haven't dried the fish, and we are all raising them in the shade." ”
Those fish add up to more than the ones brought out today, and it really costs more than a thousand catties.
If all these things had been sold, there would have been more money than there is today.
"By the way, the soy sauce and salt at home are gone, so I'll have to buy some tomorrow."
"Well, there is a shortage at home, you say, I will sell the fish tomorrow and buy them back."
"Buy more food." Li thought about it, but still felt that it was better to be prepared.
"This is inevitable," Zhao Fuxiang is not stupid, as the saying goes, "the people take food as the sky", they can't lack food if they lack anything.
"By the way, there are also fishy wild vegetables, I estimate, they can also be sold for money."
"Not only do you sell vegetables to others, but I estimate that the pharmacy will also accept them."
"Everyone knows that the pharmacy likes the weird-looking weeds the most, not to mention that they can get rid of the fish."
Zhao Fuxiang pondered, those astringent ginger slices are all treasures, and it makes no sense that these fishy wild vegetables are not worth anything.
Taking a step back, it's really worthless, but it can still be fishy, and it won't lose money to sell it to others.
"Okay, I'll pick up all the things tomorrow and bring them all into the city," Li agreed, "If there is that weird taste, I'll put it all up, and it doesn't cost money to ask, if we can really sell it for money, we can make more money." ”
"Well, that's it......"
The silence of the night could not stop the excitement in the house.
Not only the two seniors in the main house are in total, but the other three juniors in the side house are not sleeping.
At dinner in the evening, the Li family made the decision and divided all the snacks and food bought by several people.
The juniors of the three families get as much food and snacks.
Right now, several children in the family have exhausted their bodies for dinner, and they are making a fuss about eating.
The east side is a partial house.
Liu was taking the insole, while Zhao Shanlin was sitting on the ground, sewing the wooden stool with a broken leg at home.
Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Dongxue, two sisters, also sat next to Liu, holding a smaller insole in their hands.
"Gollum—Gollum—"
Zhao Dongxue covered her stomach and looked at Liu with red cheeks.
Dinner is early tonight, and children are active and noisy, so they eat quickly and are hungry.
No, I'm hungry again.
Liu put down the insoles in his hand and rubbed the little heads of the two girls funny.
Put on your shoes and go to the ground, walk to a tall cabinet, open the cabinet door, and take out three palm-sized jujube cakes.
gave Zhao Shanlin and the two children a piece each.
"Eat, go to bed after eating, get up early tomorrow to catch fish, you two sisters follow me closely, you can't run like you do today."
"Mother, we know." The two sisters nodded obediently.
Liu looked amused, and reached out to comb the somewhat wrinkled clothes on the two of them.
Thinking of something, Liu said, "Boss, Ming'er, are you at home?" ”
Zhao Shanlin shook his head, chewing on the soft and sweet jujube cake in his mouth, "I don't know, but I guess I'm going to sell fish in the city, what's wrong?" ”
Liu nodded and pointed to the cabinet, "Maotou is in a private school, and his life is very hard, and it is inconvenient to eat anything." ”
"Boss, Ming'er, you go to the city with your father, take a look at our Maotou, and by the way, bring those jujube cakes and dried dates to Maotou."
As the saying goes, "the mother is worried about the journey", Liu's eldest son Maotou went to study in a private school in the city, and he went for half a year.
No, the Li family is the master of these food snacks, and the Liu family wants to fill in for his son.
Liu's words also made Zhao Shanlin's heart soften, they are just such a son, and because they are not at home all the year round because of their studies, they don't know if they are doing well, whether they are tall or thin.
"Okay, Ming'er, I'll talk to my father, look at our hair."
By the way, I also took a look at the good deeds of Xiaosi Zhao, and my uncle and nephew studied together, which saved some trouble.
Liu Shi grinned and blossomed, and when she got the right words, she began to get busy, "The head of the house, as well as a few pairs of cloth shoes I gave to Mao Touna, a change of clothes, and a silver money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you bring them all to him." ”
"Okay, you are ready to prepare, I will take it away early tomorrow morning."
The husband and wife were emotionally leaked because of their son, and no one cared about the two daughters sitting on the kang.
Zhao Dongxue lowered her head and pulled her sister Zhao Dongmei's little hand, her mouth was pursed, and she was even more sad in her heart.
Ming'er, all these delicious foods will be sent to the eldest brother.
Neither of them could eat.
Zhao Dongmei secretly stuffed the remaining half of the jujube cake she ate into Zhao Dongxue's hand.
"Shhhh
"Sister, my mother is eccentric." Zhao Dongxue's voice was low.
"That's the eldest brother, my mother likes the eldest brother, Sanya, eat quickly."
"Eldest sister, aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Don't feel uncomfortable, you eat quickly, otherwise your mother will come, and you won't be able to eat."
Zhao Dongmei is three years older than Zhao Dongxue, she knows a lot of things, and she knows that they will marry after all, and her mother can only rely on her eldest brother, so she should be good to her eldest brother.
Right.
Zhao Dongmei sighed, she didn't tell the truth to Sanya, she was actually a little uncomfortable.
………
"Erya, Wuya, Shi, you sit down obediently," Yuan rubbed his head, and according to the principle of equal distribution, he divided these jujube cakes and dried jujubes one by one.
The three of them sat obediently, and no one was a demon at the moment.
After dividing it, Yuan Shi said again, "I have finished dividing these things, you can eat as you want, you can do your own, but after eating, don't come to trouble me." ”
"Uh-huh"
The three nodded frantically.
After Yuan's big hand waved, the three of them began their own ways of dealing with it.
Zhao Yu is the oldest, her brain is flexible, she knows the truth of fine water and long flow, and wrapped the jujube cakes and dried dates in her hands and put them in her small wooden box.
The small wooden box was given to her by Zhao Shanchuan, one for each of the three children, and on weekdays, the small wooden box was filled with things that she thought were treasures.
For example, Zhao Yu, her small wooden box is full of all kinds of food, all of which were bought by the Yuan family or Zhao Shanchuan before, and she couldn't finish eating, so she put it in the small wooden box.
Carefully put things in, Zhao Yu was like a little hamster hoarding food, once again confirming that his treasures were there, and then he was relieved to lock and leave.
Wuya and Shi are young, so they eat directly when they get it.
When Zhao Yu came back, the two villains were eating all over their mouths.
Her mother, Yuan, watched from the sidelines, but didn't say anything.
Zhao Yu let out a disgusted "huh" and carefully wiped the mouths of the two.
The scene of the three of them falling in love with each other made Yuan look at Coke, and said in his heart that he had made a lot of trouble before, but now it will be fine.
It's a child.
Poked Zhao Shanchuan on the side, Yuan asked in a low voice, "Master, is the fish sold today really worth so much silver?" ”
Zhao Shanchuan told her, and Yuan still didn't believe it.
Zhao Shanchuan nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes, and there can be fakes." ”
When they first sold it, they were shocked.
Not to mention the sale of Qixiang Building later.
This is really a stroke of luck!
"You just know, don't talk nonsense, Ming'er will fish with her mother and them, whoever asks, just say you don't know."
This can't be passed on, although his father must have told the patriarch today.
But Li Zhengna didn't say it, so they had to hide it.
What's more, if it's beneficial to them, at least they can do this kind of exclusive trading and make money for two days.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll definitely hold back," Yuan patted his chest and promised, "But with the third child's temperament, can he not say it?" ”
"Why can't I," Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but raise his voice, and lowered his gaze in Cheng's glare, "No, no, how can I say this." ”
Zhao Shanhe spoke in a sneering tone and smiled flatteringly at Cheng.
The three children in the family slept, leaving Cheng and Zhao Shanhe.
Cheng is pregnant and has not been sleeping well recently.
Today, I heard my man say that fish can sell for a lot of money, and I was worried that the man's mouth was fast, so I reminded me twice.
"Anyway, if you're at home tomorrow, don't talk nonsense," Cheng Shi held his stomach and supported his waist with one hand, "It's just right, I'm not in good health, you follow me, and I'm relieved." ”
Seeing that Cheng's tone was not good, Zhao Shanhe hurried over to help Cheng's waist, "Yes, yes, what my daughter-in-law said is right." ”
"Ming'er, I won't go anywhere, so I'll follow my daughter-in-law."
"Hmph, death, go to sleep, Ming'er still gets up early."
"Yes, yes, daughter-in-law, go to sleep, I'll rub your ......"
