Not to mention the Li family, the men who were eating in the main house at this time were also completely conquered by the pot of fish soup in front of them.

No matter how big or small, old or young, they all didn't care about talking, and they all buried their heads in hardship.

The tender and soft cotton tofu is paired with a delicious fish soup, which is really delicious.

Everyone had a dreamy expression on their faces, as if they were not drinking fish soup, but the Ten Perfection Tonic Pill.

The wafting fragrance penetrated into the mouths and noses of several people, and it was simply seductive.

Hiccup –

Uncontrollably burped full of fish, Zhao Shanchuan covered his mouth, lowered his head and rubbed his stomach vigorously.

Whew, I just ate too much, and my stomach is panicking right now.

This kind of situation not only happened to Zhao Shanchuan, but also happened to several other people.

The large pot full of fish head tofu soup in the middle of the table was no longer left, and it all went into the stomachs of several people.

Including the wooden basin on the side, those multigrain cakes that were stained with the taste of fish soup were also eaten by several people.

This uncontrolled meal will make several people eat a round belly, and one by one they have to hold on to the table to sit down.

Although their stomachs were held up uncomfortably, their hearts were very comfortable.

"This fish soup is so delicious, better than the previous ones."

Zhao Shanlin half-squinted his eyes, smashed his mouth comfortably, felt the residual fragrance of fish soup in his mouth, and was satisfied.

"Yes, yes, I don't know how my mother made it, if only I could eat it every day."

Zhao Shanhe kept up with the conversation innocently, and by the way, he also looked forward to a better tomorrow.

Zhao Fuxiang is also very happy, after all, eating and drinking enough is a great joy in life.

However, Zhao Shanhe's words made Zhao Fuxiang couldn't help but agree, and at the same time, he was a little more dissatisfied.

"Ahem, the house is messy enough right now, you all pay attention, what you should say and shouldn't say, silence me and bury it in my stomach."

When the three brothers heard this, they quickly nodded yes.

"Dad, we know."

………

After eating, Li was still busy, so he hurried away with his waist in hand.

The leftover dishes and chopsticks were naturally cleaned up by the three daughters-in-law.

Liu glanced at Yuan and Cheng, "Second brother and sister, third brother and sister, leave it to me here, you two go to the hall to clean up." ”

The hall is where the men of the old Zhao family eat, and they can't expect men to work, so they naturally have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks themselves.

According to Liu's arrangement, the Yuan family and the Cheng family still took advantage, so naturally they had nothing to say.

Nodding to Liu, the two led the child out of the kitchen.

Yuan first sent Sister Zhao Yu back to the house to play, and then, she and Cheng went to the main house together.

The square table in the hall is placed not far from the entrance.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they could see the dishes and chopsticks on the square table.

After reading it, Cheng pursed his lips and discussed with Yuan in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, my belly, you know, can't bend over, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this dishwashing work." ”

"Okay, I'll wash the dishes, you can simply tidy up the food and clean up the table."

Yuan's promise was happy, and he didn't delay his efforts in this.

The left is just a job of washing dishes, and one more wash will not lose a piece of meat.

Pulling up his sleeves, Yuan learned to touch the surroundings in the hall, and directly picked up a fairly clean wooden basin and went to the well.

The area by the well draws water quickly, and it is washed and scrubbed on weekdays, and it is all done by the well.

Cheng saw that Yuan was leaving simply, and he was not idle.

Holding his stomach to the table, Cheng began to slowly pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Zhao Fuxiang and the others went back to the house directly after eating, and now there is everything on the table, and the leftovers are piled together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mess.

Cheng is accustomed to sorting out the leftover meals on the table, putting what can be eaten together and keeping it for tomorrow, and throwing what can't be eaten into the swill bucket under his feet to feed the chickens and pigs.

The main house is only one wall away from Cheng's house.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit serious.

Zhao Fuxiang sat on the head of the kang and rubbed the hemp rope, and Li sat at the end of the kang and counted the silver money in his hand from selling fish today.

The three brothers, Zhao Shanlin, Zhao Shanchuan, and Zhao Shanhe, stood honestly on the ground and lined up.

Li Shi threaded the copper plate in his hand into the kneaded hemp rope according to the square hole in the middle, made a buckle for every hundred, and twisted it into a circle for every thousand.

Put the copper plates tied to the end of the kang into the camphor wood box that has been peeled off the paint, lock and put them away, and put the remaining dozens of scattered copper plates into the small pottery urn at his feet, leaving the daily expenses of the family.

After all the work in his hands was cleaned up, Li had the heart to ask a few people about today.

"I'm back so late today, didn't something happen to the fish seller?"

Li Shi guessed curiously, usually their family did not sell fish, but they all came back quite early, except today, when the sun went down before they came back.

At the beginning, when Li saw Zhao Shanchuan and Zhao Shanhe come back, she was busy with her hands, and she didn't have time to think deeply, so she didn't think much about it.

Now that she had filled her stomach and put away the money, she naturally went around again.

The eldest and Zhao Fuxiang went to the patriarch's house and delayed their work.

But before that, it was too late for them to come back.

No, now that there are all the people in the house, Li asked again.

"It's okay, it's just that the fish I brought today is not easy to sell, and it delays my efforts."

Zhao Fuxiang waved his hand and said it before Zhao Shanlin and the others spoke.

"I see."

Li Shi nodded, pondered Zhao Fuxiang's words again, and felt that it was not right, and the expression on his face was also a little tighter, and he made a bitter face.

"That's not right, the fish I brought out today is not much worse than usual, but the money handed over is dozens of cents less than usual, could it be that something happened in the city?"

Li thought about it, and he unconsciously became worried in his heart.

The fish is fishy, and the price of fish is cheap.

That's what they've known for a long time.

In the past, the price of fish was cheap, but the places that could sell fish were concentrated in their Shangwa Village and Xiawa Village, and they were setting the price of fish early, and the neighbors would not deliberately lower the price, and they could have a good income even if they were busy all day.

However, this year's fish harvest is abundant, and there are more fish in the river than in previous years, which will naturally lead to a further drop in fish prices, but it will also remain within an acceptable range, so that they will not be busy for a day.

But right now, the Li family frowned, and the fish and meat income brought back by Zhao Fuxiang today was much less than before.

If this continues, this fish business will not be able to do so.

As soon as Li's words came out, Zhao Fuxiang and the others were directly stumped.

Several people also thought about it, and the Li family had already thought of this!

The three brothers of Zhao Shanlin stiffened and did not dare to interject, so they had to focus on Zhao Fuxiang for help.

Zhao Fuxiang slapped his thigh and sighed, "There are people in the village who have lowered the price, and the price of this fish will naturally continue to fall." ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhao Fuxiang chose to tell the truth.

As a person who collects money in the family, Li can most directly feel some changes through the amount of money he receives each time.

Li Shihu was suspicious, "Who is it?" ”

The heart said that this person is really bold, and he dares to suppress the fish price set by Li Zheng, I am afraid that he does not want to do this job.

It is a well-known fact that fish cannot be sold at a high price.

Setting the minimum fish price early is to prevent those who do not follow the right path from being greedy for cheap and want to sell it at a low price to make a profit.

But no one dares to do this work so far, because Zou Li in the village has set the lowest price of fish this year when he catches fish every year.

That is, you sell fish, you can, but the price must follow him.

You can increase the price up, but not lower than the price he set.

Zou Li is doing this, also to ensure the interests of most of the people in the village.

Who doesn't want to sell the fish they catch.

But this should not be overdone.

When the time comes, if you reduce the price by one penny, and I reduce the price by one and a half, it will not hurt the interests of the people in the village in the end.

Therefore, Zou Lizheng set the price of fish very strongly.

The people of the village also obeyed and obeyed.

Unexpectedly, someone dares to lower the price right now?!

Who doesn't know, the price is hitting Lizheng's face, the face of the whole village, and it's not that he wants to leave the village, who will offend the neighbors.

Li is also curious, after all, with such a big boldness, he doesn't know what to say.

Zhao Shanhe had a cold face, "hummed" a nasal voice, and said unhappily, "It's not that Zhao Laosan, it's really too deceitful, a village, obviously the price is set correctly, just their family, looking at us are all stupid, and they also send fish to the people who buy fish." ”

It doesn't cost money to send it, and when you calculate it, it is naturally cheaper to buy their fish.

Zhao Laosan's fish naturally sold quickly.

"Can you call Zhao Laosan? Zhao Shanhe, are you looking for a fight! ”

Zhao Fuxiang glared at Zhao Shanhe, and the cold knife made Zhao Shanhe, who was still indignant just now, excited, shrank his neck, and fell down in seconds.

"Dad, I, I was wrong, that Zhao... Uncle Fucheng didn't do it himself, and he didn't let us say it, just because of him, our fish sellers came back late. ”

Zhao Shanhe still felt aggrieved, his small mouth opened and closed, and the baba was endless.

"What he did was not authentic, then there is your Uncle Furui, there is Zou Lizheng in the village, you are just a junior, where is your turn to speak."

Zhao Fuxiang looked at his third son angrily, feeling that this child didn't say anything, and his brain didn't turn around.

Just don't want to think about it, going out is also material for trouble.

Li sat on the kang and listened to the conversation between Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Fuxiang for a while, and he understood it.

I came back late today, and there is really something going on here.

Zhao Fucheng, Zhao Laosan?

Does it have anything to do with their family?

Li couldn't help but think of Chen's, and then thought of the half piece of tofu, and scolded in his heart, sure enough, this family is not a good person, and it is unlucky.

"Third child, listen to your father, Zhao Fugui is not authentic, and there are also patriarchs who are in charge of their affairs, you junior, you can only say this at home just now, and when you go outside, you have to have a door on your mouth, but you can't say everything."

Li was also so angry, and said that Zhao Fugui did this, isn't he deliberately lowering the price, what to buy big fish and send small fish.

Foolish!

That is to reduce the price, this is not their family, but the entire Shangwa Village's business.

It is shameless to make the fish selling business in the entire Shangwa Village unable to continue.
