Chapter 63: Zhong Xiucai
"Okay, good, you children are capable, and my mother is also stained with your light."
Because he has to prepare forty jars of dried fish for the guests every month, Yang Qingyan asked the Qiangzi brothers to catch more small fish in the future, and also added two taels of silver to each of them every month, and the two brothers were naturally willing.
It's just that a few days later, Yang Qingyan thought of a little problem, after all, they just relied on the rivers and mountain streams to catch fish, and if the small fish were fished like this, they would always be exhausted one day.
This is a serious problem.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally came up with a solution.
That is to dig her own fish pond to raise fish, and that is not the only choice to make small dried fish, she can also process the big fish and make it into dried fish as delicious as small fish, and the taste is no different from small dried fish.
After receiving the payment of sixty taels, she immediately took out twenty taels and found the village chief, wanting to buy the wasteland behind her house and dig it into a fish pond.
After the village chief learned about Yang Qingyan's crazy idea, he was a little worried about her.
"Qingyan'er, Uncle Feng has never heard of this fish that can be raised by himself, don't take this silver to go to the water, then you have to try it."
"Uncle Feng, don't worry, I have seen the method of raising fish in a miscellaneous book in the first two times, and there will be no problems, and the fish in the river and the mountains are fished by us every day, and one day all the fish in it will be fished, and only by raising fish by yourself will it be endless."
Indeed, since his two sons followed Yang Qingyan to fish, those days have been getting better and better day by day. It didn't take half a day's work for the two of them to earn several Baiwen a day, and in less than a month, the two boys had already saved more than a dozen taels of silver.
This is dozens of times better than when they went out to work before, and they can't stay at home with their daughter-in-law and children, and they can take care of the fields at home.
"Okay, then since Qingyan'er's attention has been decided, then Uncle Feng will go to the yamen for the record, and get the title deed for you, and a total of five acres will be allocated to you."
The wasteland is only three taels of silver per acre, and five acres is only fifteen taels, and it is only a matter of a few hundred yuan to go through the formalities, and he asked that Feng Xi to take the rest of the silver, and then gather some people in the village to help him dig a fish pond.
Feng Xi's work is also neat, and the second person is to complete all the procedures for her, but she does not have to pay taxes for the first three years of clearing the wasteland, and she has to pay it every year after that.
Feng Xi also told Yang Qingyan about this.
Although his land is not used to grow food, it can be converted into cash, and Yang Qingyan agreed without thinking.
Just when Yang Qingyan was building a house and preparing his own fish pond, Yangjia Village also ushered in good news.
Yang Dong is promoted to show talent in the examination!
This news can be said to have been happy in Yangjia Village for several days! Everyone is almost about to break the threshold of the Yang family's old house!
The people who come to congratulate and stammer every day, a few eggs, a handful of leeks, and send them to the old house of the Yang family as if they don't need money, they want to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Yang Dongsheng, in case this person is promoted in the future, then he will be able to become an official!
Moreover, Yangjia Village has not produced a single talent for a hundred years, so Yang Dongsheng was lucky enough to be admitted, which is a matter of glory to the faces of the entire Yangjia Village!
Just sent away a group of villagers who came to give gifts, Yang Chunmei looked at the green vegetables and eggs on the table in the hall, and couldn't help pouting.
"Hmph, these individuals are all steered by the wind. Now I see that my fourth brother has won the show, and one by one they have come to our house to talk to our family, didn't I see the second room and the family building a new house and buying things, and they all revolve around them? Hmph, look at what kind of gifts are given, a handful of leeks is embarrassed to sell. ”
In the past, Yang Chunmei was still a little restrained, but now that her fourth brother has won the show, she feels more and more that she is superior to others, and then she looks at those villagers on weekdays, and they are even more unpleasant and extremely disgusted.
"That's it, I said that fourth brother, we are still laughing and chatting with those mud legs for a long time, and you must not waste saliva?"
Feng followed Yang Chunmei's words, and also echoed them.
"You are a group of women, don't talk about these words outside in the future, let people listen to them. Dongsheng was admitted to Xiucai, so we have to pay more attention to our family's reputation, even if those people are mud legs, they can't be put on the bright side. ”
The old man couldn't listen to it anymore, so he said a few words out loud.
Yang Dongsheng also had a headache when he saw his unconscious sister-in-law.
Now I scold those villagers for being mud legs, but I don't want to think about it, isn't their family the same now? Even if he was admitted to Xiucai, his family had to rely on farming to support his family.
"Big brother, just now those people said that the second sister-in-law's family is going to dig a fish pond, I heard that it is used to raise fish, and our face has also improved these days, you take the time to go out and inquire about what the second sister-in-law's family relied on to make a fortune.
In a short period of time, they are building houses and buying wasteland, presumably their way to earn money must be kept secret, if our family gets this idea, the eldest brother and father will not have to work hard in the field in the future. ”
Yang Dalang, who was named, is now also obedient to his fourth brother, who told others to be admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, and to glorify their ancestors.
"Come on, I'll go out and have a look later."
"Hey, the news of the fourth brother's talent has also come for two or three days, why hasn't the second sister-in-law's family said anything? I think sister-in-law, you can use this excuse to come to the door to question.
Now that their second room is having a better time, the fourth brother will have to go to the county seat to study in the future, and that year's shackles are not a small amount, so they have to let their second room out of this silver!
Whoever called them are also members of our Yang family, don't just care about getting the light of our fourth brother, and don't have any strength, it's too much of a thing. ”
Yang Chunmei can't get used to her two nieces and nephews on weekdays, she looks like a charming vixen, even if she doesn't want to admit it, she knows very well that Yang Qingyan's appearance is really no one who can compare to her in these ten miles and eight villages.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Yang Chunmei has never been waiting to see the second room.
When Feng Shi heard Yang Chunmei's words, he was immediately angry. Mrs. Zeng is even more mentioned, it's just a cannon, the kind that burns at one point!
Immediately, I took the Feng family and went to Yang Qingyan's house to ask for an explanation!
Fortunately, he was stopped by Old Man Yang.
"This matter will go in two days, or listen to the fourth, let the boss inquire first, this matter is very important, you women have given Lao Tzu a little peace these days, don't spoil our family's big things."
Old man Yang once again gave orders, and Mrs. Zeng had to be obedient.
On Yang Qingyan's side, the house has already been built, and it won't take long for the new house to be built.
The mother and daughter took Zhao and Li Juan, who were making lunch for the workers, when they saw Yang Yang, who went out to play, crying with a blue face and swollen nose.
Originally, Yangyang never went to play with the children in the village, after all, he was not allowed to spend time in the old house of the Yang family, so there were no friends in the village who were his friends.
When he went out to play this time, it was the Zhao family who came to help and brought his youngest son, and the two gradually became friends, and Yang Yang followed him to the village to play.
Seeing Yangyang's little appearance that was obviously beaten by someone, several people were very distressed!
"Oh, that heavenly bastard, he actually beat Yangyang like this, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you get justice!"
Li Juan already loved Yangyang very much, but before Zhang Yueniang and Yang Qingyan could speak, she became angry and pulled Yangyang into her arms, feeling distressed.
"Erdan, come over and tell your mother, what's going on with Yangyang? Are you being bullied? ”
Zhao pulled his youngest son to ask, only to find that this kid's face was also a little scratchy, which was obviously caused by a fight with someone.
"Mother! It's two dogs! I had a few friends with Yangyang in the valley field to play hide and seek, and the two dogs took a group of children and gave Yangyang to the owner. I went up, and without saying a word, they hit me directly, and kicked my leg, and then the second dog asked the others to beat Yangyang. ”
Yang Qingyan and Zhang Yueniang listened to Erdan's words on the side, and they were already trembling with anger!
It's nothing for children to fight, but the second dog is obviously bullying!
Yangyang is still so young, and he has managed to raise some meat these days, which can be compared with children of the same age, and the head is only a four-year-old child.
They were able to attack such a young child, how could Yang Qingyan stop there.
"Yangyang, don't cry, go, the eldest sister will take you back to the field! Those people beat you, let's call them all back today! ”
Saying that, the angry Yang Qingyan pulled his younger brother and went to the grain field.
Seeing that his eldest sister wanted to avenge herself, Yang Yang seemed to realize that she had caused trouble to her family, and she immediately stopped crying. Hurriedly wiped the tears from his face.
"Eldest sister, if you want to fight, you can beat the second dog! Those people all listened to Ergouzi, they didn't beat me originally, Ergouzi said that his fourth uncle is now a showman, if they don't listen to him, wait for his fourth uncle to become an official, let them all go to prison, and those people will do it to us. ”
Yangyang's words were very clear, and Yang Qingyan sobbed from time to time when he saw him talking, which was also difficult for him.
"Okay, Yangyang, you did a good job, who bullied us, we must bully us back on the spot, otherwise they will think we are afraid of him!"
