267: Young man
If you want to dig lotus roots, you have to release water, and it is inconvenient to catch fish in such deep water in the fish pond, let alone dig lotus roots.
The water in the fish pond has not yet risen and put it in the sky, and the fish pond is not big, but the water is almost released at dawn, and the back of the fish can be seen.
The fish in the pond have multiplied a lot in the past two years, which may have something to do with how well they raise.
As soon as the morning dawned, the people who came to help from the old house also came, and the people began to act when they came.
They were the first to catch the fish, and there were three or four big men in a small fish pond, and soon the big fish in the fish pond were almost caught, and the rest of the water became muddy.
The fish that were caught were kept in pots, buckets, and vats.
This jar is made of wood, and it is also made by Youyi himself, although the appearance is not particularly good-looking, but it is particularly strong, and most importantly, it does not leak.
After catching the fish, several people began to dig the lotus root, and it is certain that the lotus root is difficult to dig, but there are many of them, and the small fish pond is still quickly dug up.
They dug up at the bottom and brought it up, and Xin'er washed the mud from the lotus root with water on the top.
The black lotus root, which was originally wrapped in silt, was quickly washed clean, white and tender, and it looked particularly pleasing.
This year's lotus root grows very well, with big roots and big roots, the largest one is as thick as an adult's wrist, and the small one is not much smaller.
A few people were also tired for a long time and didn't eat breakfast, breakfast was ready, it was made by An Niang, and a few people borrowed an ox cart to pull the fish and lotus root to the county seat to sell after breakfast.
Everyone in the village knows about the Ding family's fish farming, and some people will come to buy two when they catch fish in the past two years, and this time is no exception.
However, no one bought the lotus root, and some people asked in the past, but because of the high price, no one bought it, so they just asked.
So far, basically no one asks, and they don't plan to sell them in the village, so they keep some for themselves or eat them for themselves, or give them away, and some of them are reserved for the next year's seeds.
There are a lot of things today, and the time is late, and Xin'er also went to the county seat, one more person and a little more strength, and he can sell it out and go home early.
An Niang has concerns in her heart, after all, Xin'er is already a big girl, and she is still a big girl like a flower.
It's just that in her current situation, even if she proposes to go with her, they won't agree, so she won't mention it, and just let them be careful when they're outside.
When I arrived at the county seat, it was already late, and the time was almost over, but because of the New Year, there were still a lot of people on the street.
Putting down the things, Youyi began to shout: "Sell fish, sell fresh fish, freshly caught fresh fish." ”
"Sell lotus roots, sell lotus roots, freshly crisp and tender lotus roots that have just been dug up."
Youyi is already very familiar with this matter, and it is very smooth to shout.
Approaching the New Year, people like good meanings, there are fish every year, there are fish every year, and there are still many people who come to ask after listening to his shouting.
The fish of the Ding family is very good, and it was just caught this morning, swimming around in the basin, and the people who came to see it were also very satisfied, and the price was not very high, there were still a lot of people who bought it, and the fish in the basin on the left and the right were gradually decreasing.
As the fish sold, their lotus root also sold a lot, but there were also more left.
In the end, it came too late, and it didn't last long, and there were a lot fewer people on the street.
The brother and sister waited for a long time in the street, until there was no one in the afternoon, and then they put away the rest of their belongings and drove the ox cart back.
The things were not sold, and they naturally had to be sold again the next day, and there were still a lot of fish left from yesterday, so Youyi went to borrow an ox cart for another day.
The people of the Wang family also understood, and without saying much, they took the ox cart to them and used it.
There is no need to catch fish and dig lotus root today, and they arrived at the county seat much earlier than yesterday, and there are more followers on the street.
At about the end of the day, the two of them sold almost all their things, at least the fish were all sold, and there were still some lotus roots left.
There wasn't much left of the lotus root, and the two didn't want to delay too much, so after a discussion, Youyi got up and left.
It turned out that it was Xin'er who told him to let him buy something for his sister-in-law, which was also a New Year's gift.
As soon as Youyi left, only Xin'er was left alone in the stall, and she had done this many times, and there was nothing she didn't like to be embarrassed about.
It's already here, she doesn't shout, she just sits in front of the stall, someone comes to ask and sells, and no one sits quietly.
"Yo, the little lady looks good, come and tell my brother what is your name?"
Just as Xin'er was sitting quietly, she heard a voice that made her feel goosebumps.
She didn't think about it to herself, she didn't look at it much, and she still thought in her heart that she had better stay away from these things.
But just as she was thinking this, the voice spoke again.
"Why, little lady, I'm embarrassed to be shy, haha."
As soon as the voice fell, there was an extra fan in front of her.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that this seemed to be said to her, and subconsciously raised her head.
As soon as she looked up, the person in front of her saw her face even more clearly, and she clearly saw the surprise in the other's eyes.
At the same time, she also saw the situation in front of her.
There were two young men standing in front of her stall who obviously looked like rich boys, and at this time, one of them was holding a fan in one hand, obviously just taking it back, and she knew that it was this person who had just spoken.
And the surprise in this person's eyes dissipated, and there was a look on her face that she didn't like very much, and even she felt a little disgusted in her heart.
She vaguely felt in her heart that she should be in some trouble, these two people were obviously not easy to mess with, just look at the two subordinates behind them.
"I don't know what the two sons want to buy, there are only some lotus roots left at this time, do you want to buy some?"
The heart that was flustered and quickly calmed down said.
"How much is your lotus root a pound, I want it all."
This person's mouth is not small, although the remaining lotus root is not a lot, but there are about twenty catties.
However, she looked at the two sons in front of her, and she didn't think that they were people who were short of money, so she quoted them the price of lotus root.
"Five cents a pound."
"Okay, I'll take them all, you can wrap them all up."
The boy with the fan said without thinking about it.
After he finished speaking, he was really embarrassed, and most people who came to buy vegetables brought vegetable baskets, and she didn't have anything to pack.
After thinking about it, she said: "Childe, we don't have anything to put here, so it's better to put it in this back basket, and the back basket doesn't charge money." ”
She didn't want to entangle with them, so she would pass the time early, anyway, this basket was old and not worth much.
