Chapter 99: Long Nights and Many Dreams
Sichuan pepper is indeed tired.
After weeping, he fell into a deep sleep.
Feng has not reconciled with Wang Rong, still living with Huajiao, the restaurant closed early, she had nothing to do, went back to the house early to rest, saw Huajiao sleeping soundly, and did not wake her up.
She was used to going to bed late, and she couldn't sleep for a while.
Lying on the kang, quietly thinking about what was on your mind.
After a while, I heard a knock at the door.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ze's voice sounded outside the window: "Cousin, have you slept?" ”
"Not yet." Feng Shi scrambled to his feet.
"Come out, I've got something to tell you." Since Feng fell out with Wang Rong and lived here with Huajiao, Pei Ze has been staying in Mingxiang Building at night, Feng didn't expect him to come back, so he immediately got up and dressed and walked out.
The two went to the hall.
Pei Ze lit the lamp: "A few days ago, I found a school of muscle fish near Xianling Island in Tongcheng, they were attracted by the algae near Xianling Island, the fishermen on the island are fishing over there, and the harvest is quite rich, those fishermen said that at this time of year, there are muscle fish gathered nearby, and they will gradually disperse in July, that is to say, this fish can be fished for more than a month, I think, first stop the business of the restaurant, and then call my cousin, let's go to the island to fish, what does my cousin think?" ”
He originally wanted to discuss this matter with Huajiao.
But he didn't want to, the two had a quarrel, and he kissed her again, and she probably wouldn't pay attention to him.
It can only be told through Feng's pepper.
"Shall I go with Sichuan pepper?" Feng was very surprised, she didn't want to be with Wang Rong.
"Now that muscle fish are on the market in large quantities, they can't be sold at a high price, so we need to pickle and dry them, and we can't do it with fewer people." Pei Ze Zhengse said, "We have to rent a few houses on Xianling Island, dry them on the spot over there, and then go back to the dock to contact the merchant to sell them, I asked, the price of dried fish is ten times that of fresh fish, it is very cost-effective, more than a month, I dare not say more, just like you and my uncle, Bai'er eighty taels of silver will definitely be earned." ”
He knew that after deducting the cost of this shop, there would be about ten taels of silver left at most.
Just because that little girl likes to make money so much, he thinks she will definitely agree.
Thinking of her, he suddenly felt a little tightness in his throat...... Her lips were soft and as smooth as crystal tofu, which made him want to stop.
"Do you know about this?" Feng Shi was very moved when she heard so much silver, but she felt that Pei Ze told her that it was better to tell Nanqiang that this shop was peppercorn, and she didn't count it, Pei Ze coughed lightly: "Didn't she sleep, tomorrow I will go to Xianling Island to rent a house, you discuss with her slowly, let's go a day earlier, we can get a day earlier, the sooner the better." ”
As for the stubborn temper of the little girl, she must have refused without waiting for him to finish speaking.
He had to change his strategy.
"Okay, then I'll tell her tomorrow." Feng didn't think much about it, he happily agreed, paused, and asked again, "Third child, there is something I have been stuffy in my heart for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask you ......."
"My cousin asked." Pei Zedao.
"We all see that you have affection for Huajiao, but why don't you want to marry her?" Feng said, "Huajiao is a good girl, diligent and capable, and has a good temperament, if you marry her, you will wake up with a smile in your dreams." ”
It's a pity that she doesn't have a son.
If she has an unmarried son, even if she robs the third child, she will also have to rob her son of peppercorns.
"My cousin taught me a lesson, it's me who is wrong." Pei Ze muttered, "My mother has calculated the hexagram for us before, saying that I am suitable for April and September with peppercorns, since April is wrong, let's wait for September!" ”
In fact, he couldn't wait a day.
I can't wait to marry her tomorrow.
"I see." Feng Shi came to his senses and was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, it's the end of May now, and there are still more than three months to be full, so wait for September, September is good, lukewarm, autumn is cool." ”
Sichuan pepper slept until dawn.
My eyes are swollen.
When she learned that she didn't do a dinner market last night, she was very distressed, she blamed Pei Ze for being nosy, and she also blamed herself for sleeping too deeply.
Feng Shi knew the temperament of the pepper, and explained: "Originally, the three of us could also do the evening market, but I didn't let the third person do it, saying that he was worried that it would make you sleep, you know that Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou listened to him the most, and I couldn't insist on it." ”
As he spoke, he told Hua Jiao about Pei Ze's plan to go fishing on Xianling Island.
"Don't go!" Huajiao replied without thinking, "How can you close the restaurant for fishing, he wants to go, he will go by himself." ”
He was too embarrassed to tell her about it.
She never wanted to see him again.
"That's what I said." Feng Shi tried his best to persuade, "But the third child said that there will be no such shop in this village, and there will not be so many fish in July, and in this month or so, if two people have a boat, you can earn 80 taels of 100 taels, not to mention that your third child is a big boat, and there are many people, so you will definitely earn more." ”
She didn't want to be with Wang Rong.
But if she can make so much money, it is not impossible for her to do it all at once.
So, can a person earn forty or fifty taels?
Hua Jiao quickly calculated this account in his heart.
Pei Ze is not a person who talks about it, he said that if he can earn so much, he will definitely be able to earn so much, and he will be a lot more.
He still believes this.
In fact, these days, the business in the store is not as good as the beginning, even if there is a boat docking, the people who come in are sparse, she inquired, said that it was a drought in Dongchu last year, and two months ago there was a civil strife, and the people were not happy, many people took the opportunity to do bandits, wanton plundering at sea, at least half of the ships detoured, did not dare to dock here in Wutong Town, but took the dry road, detoured to the south and entered the mainland.
As a result, there are indeed fewer boats docked at this side of the dock.
The civil strife in Dongchu was originally unrelated to her business, but she had to admit that those unknown pirates did affect her business.
This month, if it weren't for the big order from the Yamen, she wouldn't have a few taels of silver left.
Now, with such a big pie in front of her, if she doesn't want it, then she's not peppercorns.
As for Pei Ze......
Well, she believed he was on the spur of the moment......
Besides, Lao Li Tou, Lao Lin Tou and Feng Shi are all going, he can't do anything to her anymore!
Seeing that Hua Jiao was silent, Feng thought she disagreed, and continued to chatter: "I think this thing can be done, it's good that you have a little silver, the third child said, you will get married in September, and there will be no more than a few months, the third child is old, after you get married, you have to quickly conceive a child for him, and it will not be too late for you to take a good look at the store then." ”
"He said we got married in September?" Hua Jiao was very surprised, "When did he say that?" ”
How could she not know!
"I said it last night!" Feng Shi said disapprerovingly, "I think September is very good, let me tell you, if you miss September, you will have to April next year, this matter is not good for a long time, be careful of long nights and dreams." ”
Sichuan pepper was speechless for a while.
Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, I promised to go fishing on Xianling Island." ”
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!
Let's get the money first!
