Chapter 20: The Superior Man

A man's lazy voice came from inside: "Get out of here and open the door!" ”

Then, there was a sound of squirming footsteps from far and near, and the door squeaked open, revealing the slightly haggard face of Mrs. Li.

When she saw that it was me, a smile immediately appeared on her sad face, but instead of inviting us in, she stepped out of the door, closed the door again, and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Mrs. Li is not a person who is not polite, but she has refused to let us enter the house several times, and only talked outside, thinking of Mrs. Li's previous words, I think it should be that her husband still does not want to accept the reality.

I don't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so I asked her, "Would my sister like to make sashimi?" Make one tail for Sanwen, Sister-in-law Feng can make 200 tails a day, so it is 600 copper a day, and there are 18 taels of silver in a month! ”

I saw that Li Niangzi was soft and weak, and added: "Sister is soft and weak, just do fifty tails a day, don't be tired, it's nearly five taels of silver a month!" ”

I was talking energetically, but I saw that Mrs. Li's face was getting worse and worse, I didn't care at first, but seeing her roll her eyes, I stopped talking.

Mrs. Li regained a gentle smile on her face, took my hand, and said affectionately: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but my sister can't do this, I'm afraid she can't do it." ”

"What's so hard about that? I'll teach you, and you'll learn it at once! I didn't think about it, I said, and suddenly I felt something tug at my sleeve, and when I looked back, it was my husband, who was shaking his head at me.

I didn't understand what my husband meant, but Mrs. Li's tone faded: "Qiu'er, you really have no sense of proportion, my husband is a scholar, and I am a daughter, although I am down, I can reliably rent land and write letters to others, and I will not do such an inferior thing!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Li actually spoke like this, I was really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and said angrily: "Is reading superior to others?" ”

Li Niangzi pulled her fingers and said: "Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end, what you are doing now is the last thing!" ”

She suddenly smiled softly: "Sister, I don't think you should do this, after all, you can't raise your head, otherwise you let Gongzi He be my husband's scholar, if he can be named on the gold list one day, this is the glorious lintel!" ”

Looking at Mrs. Li's appearance, she is really poisoned, why can't I raise my head to make money with my ability, how can there be any high or low between the two? But she was eloquent, but I was clumsy, and I didn't say anything when I opened my mouth.

She kills with a soft knife with a pleasant face, and I can't scold it directly, I can't get out of this anger, I'm really unwilling!

Looking at Mrs. Li again, she still told me those tirades with a smile on her face, and from time to time she ridiculed us for the "cheap" things we did.

The husband pulled me away and said loudly: "Lady, let's go, we don't deserve to talk to this 'high-ranking person'!" ”

Maybe the husband's words woke up Mrs. Li, who was behind us and shouted, "Wait! ”

The husband asked impatiently: "What's the matter!" ”

But I saw that Mrs. Li was already very guilty, and gave us a big gift, which made me at a loss and didn't know what Mrs. Li was going to do.

Li Niangzi said: "Sister I'm sorry, my sister is a straightforward person, I was born in a scholarly family since I was a child, and I just said something about it, thank you sister for your kindness, I don't want to break this sisterhood with my sister......"

The husband let out a "hum" from his nose and said: "You are a scholarly family, we are 'lowly' people, how can we be worthy of climbing relatives with you, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”

After listening to her husband's words, Mrs. Li's face was red for a while, and she was white for a while, on weekdays, I was the least afraid of those who said cruel words, but I was most afraid of Mrs. Li's soft words, coupled with a sad and sad expression, then I couldn't bear to blame, so I took Mrs. Li's hand, asked him to shut up, and comforted Mrs. Li.

After Mrs. Li left, my husband pinched my face with his hand and said with a smile: "This is punishment!" ”

I didn't know what I had done wrong, so I clenched my hands into a fist and punched him in the chest a few times, and my husband laughed as he ran: "Okay! What the lady does is right, and the satisfaction of the lady is my goal! ”

As soon as my husband spoke, I immediately laughed: "Poor mouth! ”

Seeing that I laughed, my husband ran back to me, turned around a few times, and spread his hands to me: "But we haven't found anyone yet." ”

He stepped in front of a tree in a few steps, folded the branch on the tree casually, put it in his mouth, looked left and right with his eyes, and said, "Do people nowadays regard money like dung like dung?" ”

"Yo, isn't this Master He?"

I looked back and saw that it was Tian Erniu, and he walked over with a smile: "I heard that Master He has made a lot of money recently, look at this clothes, tsk~"

As he spoke, the hand touched his husband's clothes, and the husband avoided Tian Erniu's hand in disgust, and spit out the branch in his mouth towards him: "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, say, what kind of bad water are you holding?" ”

Tian Erniu's smile was even bigger, and even his facial features were twisted together: "Master Tian, what you said, is it not true that our villagers are saying this?" ”

When the husband heard this, he reflexively jumped far away: "Yes, now it's a folk!"

took my hand, and went home, ignoring Tian Erniu, but the more he ignored it, the more he stepped forward, looked around, and said with a smile: "I'll just say it directly, I heard what you said to Mrs. Li just now......

I pointed at his nose and said, "You're still eavesdropping!" ”

Tian Erniu arched his hand at me as if flattering, and said, "This has silver, let's earn it together!" I don't know what happened to Mrs. Li's dung dustpan, you see if I can do it! ”

As he spoke, he moved his eyebrows at us, looking like he was cheap and extremely obscene.

I snorted coldly, pulled my husband and left, this Tian Erniu is not a good thing at first glance, he is a rap guy on weekdays, the east and west family talk from time to time from time to time, a few days ago he was sneering at us, and now he is stammering, I'm sorry, my sister doesn't serve~

"Master He, Mrs. He! The original intention of the small one is to give you two to be cows and horses! ”

Tian Erniu's cry is still constantly heard in his ears, this kind of villain who loves to chew the root of his tongue and tends to be inflammatory, is extremely disgusting.

After walking around, I didn't find anyone to say, but this anger came one after another, but my husband could see it more openly, and kept persuading me: "If you have money, are you afraid that no one will come?" ”

I pouted and nodded, "Husband is very right. ”

The husband flicked his sleeves in a chic manner and said with a smile: "This time, let's not leave, just write a recruitment notice and post it outside the courtyard wall, such a good welfare, I don't believe that no one comes!" Do we need to ask them to work? ”

Just do it, the husband took a piece of rice paper from home, and wrote on it the recruitment, what to do, and the geometry of the silver to write clearly, so that we can save a lot of worry, and we can go back to the room to sleep with peace of mind.

But just as I was about to enter the room, I heard footsteps, my husband and I looked at each other and smiled, then returned to the courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door and looked, good guys, there were already many people outside, pointing at me and my husband's notice.

After all, it is a rural area, and some villagers are illiterate, so there are enthusiastic villagers standing in the middle, shaking their heads and chanting: "Harvest sashimi, a tail of fifteen coppers, do more~"

My husband whispered to me on the side: "Lady, you see, it's much easier for us to accept sashimi directly." ”

As soon as we had said this, many people gathered around us and shouted, "I'm coming!"

The husband smiled calmly: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Then he took the villagers to the courtyard, and brought out a table and two round stools from the house, one for me, and the other sat down by himself, holding a pen and paper in his hand, and then he was ready, and said, "Count the number of people first, so that I don't remember clearly!" ”

Seeing his appearance, I secretly pinched it and said, "We don't need so many people!" ”

The husband narrowed his eyes and took a posture: "We can't lie on the merit book and eat the old book!" ”

greeted the person in front of him: "Everyone who comes is named!" ”

After working so busy for a while, the names of the people have been written on a small half piece of paper, and there are about a dozen people, but the people still keep pouring in, and the husband got up and tore off the recruitment notice, and said: "I'm sorry everyone, it's enough now, and I need to invite you again in the future." ”

With these people, we are not out of stock, but there are more, I am at a loss, but my husband said: "We must look at the problem from the perspective of development!" ”

As he spoke, he went to the restaurant to find the shopkeeper, and gave the shopkeeper an idea, saying, "I will sell all the sashimi to you Fukelai Restaurant, and you will sell it to others." ”

The shopkeeper was reluctant at first, but Kefujun was born to do business, and said: "Shopkeeper, you want more, can't you sell it to other restaurants?" I'm just doing business with you, and I didn't go to someone else, right? ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Thank you Gongzi He, it's also true, if you sell other houses, I can't stop it, then you sell it to me." ”

According to the current number of people and the daily output of sashimi, we can earn at least thirty taels of silver a day, and the husband follows the owner of Fuke to do business, we only need to do a good job of accounting, and we don't have to worry about the rest.

But after a long time, there was a problem, and the first time we did business, we really didn't think to pay attention.

In the past few days, the shopkeeper of Fukelai has told us several times that the sashimi sent is becoming less and less fresh, and the taste is not good, and even worse, it is moldy.

I sound straightforward, after knowing this, but reminded those villagers who worked, but it happened again and again, I really don't know who is secretly making ghosts, I thought they were all villagers, and they got along with each other very happily, but I didn't expect this to happen, it seems that it is not possible to check it.
