Chapter 16 Plans to Sell Fish

"Big brother, it's getting dark, why hasn't my sister-in-law come back yet?" Mu Xue couldn't help but be worried.

At this time, Mu Yu proposed to Mu Feng: "Big brother, let's go to the village to pick up my sister-in-law!" ”

Mu Xue immediately chimed in: "So that we can meet my sister-in-law as soon as possible and tell her the good news." ”

Mu Feng wanted to refuse, but Mu Yu and Mu Xue dragged it out, so he followed half-pushing.

When Zhang Wei returned to the village, the first thing that caught her eye was the four people sitting under the crooked neck tree, looking forward to it.

Zhang Wei was quite moved in her heart, but in just two days, the family was so attentive to herself, and it was all fake that she was not moved.

"Sister-in-law!" When the two saw Zhang Wei, they immediately rushed over happily, "Sister-in-law, you are finally back, if you don't come back, the eldest brother will die in a hurry." ”

When Mu Feng heard this, he was taken aback: How can I have?

As soon as Zhang Wei saw Mu Feng's expression, she knew that Mu Yu, the little guy, was talking nonsense, but she was still very happy that Mu Feng could come to the village to pick her up.

Zhang Wei asked: "Did those people bully you today?" ”

"The third aunt asked us to chop firewood, Mu Jie is the same age as us, he doesn't have to go up the mountain to collect firewood, so the eldest brother won't let us go." Mu Yu smiled and said, "Grandma was unhappy, but she didn't say anything. ”

"That's good, in the future, we have to ask for equal treatment, before you were still young, you can't resist, you can only be slaughtered, now you are grown up, your limbs are sound, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you will never starve yourself, so you must fight for your legitimate rights and interests, you can't be stupid and keep suffering, sometimes people can't always suffer."

"I know, sister-in-law, we will all listen to you in the future." Mu Yu said happily: "Sister-in-law, when my second brother and I went to pick up the fish basket in the afternoon, we found a lot of fish in the fish basket!" ”

"There's another one that's that big." Mu Xue excitedly opened her hand and gestured, "The red lady said that it was a grass carp, and the red lady weighed it, saying that it was more than three catties!" ”

In ancient times, one catty was sixteen taels, so isn't that fish equivalent to five catties in modern times! It's a big fish, indeed.

When she returned home, before Zhang Wei put down her things, Mu Yu and Mu Xue dragged Zhang Wei to Tong's house to check today's results.

Seeing Zhang Weihong's aunt with a smile on her face: "Xiaowei, this fish basket you got is really effective, I just weighed it, this grass carp is three catties and three taels, and these small crucian carp add up to one catty and nine taels, after Mu Yun poured out the fish, he went to dig up some earthworms, saying that it will be the next basket, Ming'er will get up again in the morning, I see that Ming'er estimates that there are so many fish miles in the morning." ”

"Auntie, since this thing has an effect, I think you might as well make more fish baskets to sell, whether it is selling fish baskets or fishing, it is an income." Zhang Wei kindly reminded.

"This afternoon, your Uncle Tong knew that this thing was useful, so he was already making it up, thinking that he could use it at home, and occasionally he could catch a few fish for tooth sacrifices, but if this fish basket was sold, ......" The red lady was a little worried.

"Auntie, how much are you going to sell this fish basket for?"

"We have five copper plates in a dustpan, and your fish basket is more complicated than a dustpan, and eight copper plates are about the same."

"Then auntie, I'll order five more fishing baskets of the same size." After speaking, Zhang Wei counted forty-eight copper plates and came out, "Plus this one I did before, a total of forty-eight Wen, auntie, you count." ”

"Huh? This...... That's too much! Aunt Hong was dumbfounded, "Xiaowei, this is the first one who said that he would not charge money, just ask us to eat two more meals of fish." After speaking, Mrs. Hong counted eight more copper plates and returned them to Zhang Wei.

Money is the best touchstone, in this era, it is difficult to earn a penny, and the poor sons of the Tong family can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but Aunt Hong didn't see money, it's really difficult, and it also values reputation, Zhang Wei has a better sense of the Tong family.

The red lady asked again: "What do you want so much for?" Can you finish eating? ”

"I'm going to catch and sell."

Now practicing medicine and medicine does not work, so I can only think of other ways to improve my life, and at present, it seems that fishing is a way out.

"I'll see it." Tong Bo said, "Then I'll try to do it for you within two days." ”

Because he has already made one, he is more proficient, and there are many materials at home, and if he makes it up again, the speed must be very fast, it is really not good, and it is okay to let his sons help, anyway, his four sons will not be able to do it except for the fourth, and the other three sons will be craftsmen.

"Thank you, Uncle Tong." Zhang Wei said, "If Uncle Tong is free, you can make up a little more, and when others see me catching fish, they will definitely find you to buy a fishing basket." ”

Uncle Tong thought about it and felt that it was an opportunity, so he immediately instructed his two sons to start cutting more bamboo and come back.

As for the fish caught today, Zhang Wei left the grass carp and prepared to sell it tomorrow, and the small crucian carp was cooked by the Tong family, and the two families drank some soup together for a while.

Zhang Wei also took out three packs of steamed buns and steamed them, and then gave twelve to the Tong family, twelve steamed buns, looking at the number seems to be quite a lot, in fact, the steamed buns are very small, and the twelve steamed buns add up to seven or eight taels, the Tong family said that they don't want anything, but Zhang Wei said that they have not separated from the family during this period of time to borrow the Tong family's house to make a tooth sacrifice for food, and when the time comes, they have to ask them to help cover up when they sell fish, if they don't accept it, she will be embarrassed to disturb, and the Tong family will accept it.

"This steamed bun is white and tender, so fragrant and beautiful!" Tong Baoshu swallowed his saliva and admired.

After a few fires, the steamed buns became soft, Uncle Tong took a bite, and then his eyes narrowed into a line, with a look of enjoyment and exclamation: "I have lived for such a long time, and it is the first time I have eaten such delicious steamed buns." ”

Mu Feng glanced up at Zhang Wei, but didn't speak, such a white, tender and soft steamed bun, I am afraid that the imperial dining room may not be able to make it......

Mu Xue: "Yes, it's delicious, it's as delicious as eggs." ”

"No, I think it's better than eggs, fragrant and soft, it's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!" Mu Yun sighed.

"How old are you! It's still in this life. Zhang Wei said, "It's still growing in this life!" Work hard in the future, and there will be delicacies from the mountains and seas, silk and satin. ”

"I'll listen to my sister-in-law in the future." Mu Yu hurriedly hugged his thighs loyally.

"I also listen to my sister-in-law." Mu Xue is not far behind.

"You are all good, if we sell the fish tomorrow, I will buy steamed buns for you again."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The two little ones of the Mu family said in unison.

Although this steamed bun is a frozen product, but with milk, the raw materials and processes are much finer than those of this era, so the taste is quite good.

The fragrant steamed buns, except for Mu Feng and Zhang Wei, who did not change their faces, everyone else was a little reluctant, and they ate in small bites, and they really couldn't wait to eat it until tomorrow morning.
