Chapter 144: Confession
"Naturally, it's the money from selling fish." Pei Ze took off his shoes and went to the kang.
"Didn't you say it wasn't over?" Hua Jiao whispered, she heard them talking in the courtyard just now.
Pei Ze said with a smile: "It's not over, but they paid the first payment." ”
"What do you mean, and?" Hua Jiao lifted the bed curtain and looked at him with wide eyes, "That fish pond is so profitable?" ”
"It's not the fish pond that makes money, it's the scarcity that makes it expensive." Pei Ze leaned on the futon, turned over to face her, and said, "There is a custom in Dongchu that every New Year's festival must buy a pair of yellow croaker for offering, which means that the gold is ten thousand taels and makes a fortune every year, so I rushed to clear the pond before the Mid-Autumn Festival, only in this way can I sell it at a good price." ”
"Oh, I see." Hua Jiao came to his senses and asked again, "Do you continue to raise this kind of yellow croaker in the second half of the year?" ”
Oh my God, she never thought that fish farming would have to know the customs and habits of various places.
Pei Sanye is mighty!
"You can still raise a batch before the year, and it will be enough to choke after the year." Pei Ze pinched his brows and said, "In the eyes of the people of Xianling Island, they will definitely breed yellow croaker on a large scale, and the price will not go up at that time, because the vicinity of Xianling Island is more suitable for fish farming, and I will specialize in cultivating yellow croaker fry here at that time, and the sales volume should not be bad." ”
"It's worthy of Pei Sanye, you are taking one step and seeing three steps!" Hua Jiao looked at Pei Ze with great admiration, he raised yellow croaker because he knew the customs of Dongchu, and after he made a lot of money, when others saw the business opportunity and followed in his footsteps, he changed his career to cultivate fish fry and sold them to those fishermen who raised fish, how could he be so smart...... Well, she just likes men who are both capable and smart......
"No way, don't I still have to marry a daughter-in-law, how can I do it without money?" Pei Ze looked at her with a smile, Hua Jiao's face was slightly hot, and he said unashamedly, "It's good that you know." ”
In fact, at the beginning, she fell in love with Pei Ze because he was capable, considerate, and good to her.
So I didn't care about what he had done before, I started to think that he was a bandit, and I was really depressed for a few days, and now I know that he is one of the five tiger generals, and I don't have much joy, although she has not appeared in his days of iron horse Bingge, but she can feel the sadness and uneasiness behind his blossoming flowers, she doesn't want to uncover the memories that have been sealed by him, she just wants to live a good life with him now.
"Sichuan pepper, in fact, there is something I have always wanted to ask you." Pei Ze asked coldly, "You are so proficient in herbs and herbs, how do you know this?" ”
He has been to the Hua family, and it is not a scholarly family.
Their family is even more, although they shout about what kind of scholarly door to the outside world, in fact, there are no books at home.
"I, I naturally figured it out through reading books and accumulating over the years." Hua Jiao replied calmly, "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
He has secrets of his own.
Are you embarrassed to ask her?
Pei Ze actually felt that Su Xian should have taught her, but she didn't mention it, so he didn't want to ask again, walked over under the kang in his shoes, lifted the bed curtain and sat beside her lap, and looked at her with heavy eyes: "Hua Jiao, I like your kind of knowledge, I like you as a person, you are different from ordinary women." ”
Faced with his sudden confession, Hua Jiao lowered his eyes: "Compared with you, I am just a small thing." ”
She's just learning about some vegetation or something.
And he knows a lot more than she does.
Pei Ze suddenly reached out and touched her face: "What do you think you can raise in addition to raising yellow croaker on the sea?" ”
His hands are rough and thick.
She could even feel the calluses in his palms...... She knew that it was left behind by holding the sword for many years.
"In addition to yellow croaker, you can also breed sea cucumbers, which are more valuable than yellow croaker." Hua Jiao sat back without a trace and pushed his hand away, "Last time we had dinner on Xianling Island, the housekeeper of the owner of Lin Island said that those merchants in Dongchu like to go to Xianling Island to buy sea cucumbers the most, and they are very valuable, and they are in short supply!" ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Pei Ze looked at her with heavy eyes, and said softly, "What you say, let's raise anything, and when the water temperature is right in a few days, let's raise some sea cucumbers and try it." ”
Seeing him say this, Hua Jiao hid in the quilt with a red face.
This person, really...... She told him to get down to business!
Fortunately, he just lowered his head and pecked her forehead and rubbed her hair: "Sleep, tomorrow we will go to Huxiaogang to take care of the medicinal herbs first, and then go to the town." ”
"Okay." Sichuan pepper readily agreed.
Early the next morning, the pepper wrapped the small box with the silver ticket in the old clothes, wrapped it with layers of baggage, and then put it into the bamboo basket with confidence, and repeatedly told Pei Ze: "The silver ticket is in the baggage, but you have to be careful." ”
Pei Ze smiled: "Anyway, I'll leave it to you for safekeeping, you worry about it yourself." ”
Wang got up in the morning to cook, saw that the two of them were packing up and were going out, hurriedly put a table in the yard, beckoned the two to eat, or yesterday's leftovers, newly boiled vegetable porridge, while the two were eating, Wang also pulled the bench and sat down and began to nag: "You are in the town all day, you must pay attention to Yingzi's good mother-in-law, she should also get married, my father and mother have no ability, so I will count on you." ”
"She's only fifteen years old, what's the hurry?" Pei Ze lowered his head and drank porridge.
In his eyes, his sister was still a child.
"She's a month older than peppercorns, why aren't I in a hurry?" Wang said with a calm face, "You're about to have a round house with Huajiao, she doesn't have a mother-in-law yet, so you have to worry about this as a brother." ”
"I see." Pei Ze replied impatiently, "If you want me to say, the youngest son of Zhang Butcher is not bad, I don't know what you think." ”
How can Pei Ying compare with Sichuan pepper, Sichuan pepper is much more mature than her.
If the pepper is like Pei Ying, he doesn't want it.
"Third child, when you are an elder brother, you also care more about your sister, she likes to read people, not the son of a butcher." Wang babbled, "I asked Yingzi to live with you, not because I favored my daughter as a mother, but because I wanted her to find a good mother-in-law, there are so many people in Jixian Academy, I don't have to worry about finding one." ”
Sichuan pepper eats without saying a word.
She felt that Wang and Pei Ying's hearts were too high, although there were many students in Jixian Academy, but before they became famous, they were not willing to easily engage for life, right?
"Mother, let's put it this way, if you insist on looking for Jixian Academy, then I don't care about it." Pei Ze told Wang very clearly, "If I am asked to handle Yingzi's affairs, then whatever I say is what I say, whoever I ask her to marry, she has to marry, if she is disobedient, then she doesn't have to go to the town to live." ”
Wang was very angry: "She just likes to be a reader, let's fulfill her, can't we?" ”
"Does she have to get what she likes?" Pei Ze raised his finger and pointed to the waning moon in the sky, and asked rhetorically, "I like the moon, do I have to take it for myself?" ”
Wang was speechless for a moment.
Sichuan pepper pursed her lips and smiled.
She had never seen Pei Ze arguing with his mother!
After the two of them finished eating, they went out and walked to the mouth of the alley, Wang Shi reacted, stood at the door and shouted at the two: "Anyway, you can't ignore Yingzi, I will send her to you in a few days." ”
Foggy in the morning.
The lush vegetation is dripping with droplets.
The two stepped on the dew and entered the Tiger Roaring Hill.
Not far away, a figure disappeared into the trees in a panic.
