"Sister of the Liu family, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought that the price of the things you sent, our Xiangmanlou was low, and you sent other things elsewhere?" Before the shopkeeper entered the conservatory, the voice came in first.

When the shopkeeper pushed the door in, he saw that in addition to Wang Hu and the children of the Liu family in the house, he also saw a woman, and the shopkeeper Zhang suddenly said with some doubts, "This is."

"This is my mother, and my fourth sister. Looking for a younger sister and a sixth sister".

"The shopkeeper is good". "Uncle Shopkeeper is good". Liu Li pinched his clothes a little nervously and said.

However, when the shopkeeper saw that this family was full of women and children and half-grown children, and after seeing that there was no adult man, it was conceivable that he was afraid that it was the adult man in the family .......

Suddenly, the shopkeeper Zhang was a little sad.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, the door of the conservatory was not closed and was opened.

"Wang Hu, you go to the kitchen to get some snacks and tea, and let the children of the Liu family eat snacks and rest."

"Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't have to, we're here to ......" After Liu Li heard the words of the shopkeeper Zhang, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"I'm here for the children, and the fish you brought me today, but it helped me a lot?" Shopkeeper Zhang interrupted Liu Li's words with a smile.

After a while, Wang Hu brought a pot of tea, and a stack of hibiscus cake, a stack of mung bean cake and a stack of sour jujube cake were placed on the small table on the side.

"Eat!". Shopkeeper Zhang took a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to the sixth sister Liu Yimeng.

Liu Yimeng looked at the shopkeeper Zhang with some hesitation, and then looked at his eldest sister.

"Eat!". Liu Yiyu nodded at the sixth sister.

Liu Yimeng just took the hibiscus cake from the shopkeeper Zhang, and after saying thank you, Liu Yimeng handed the hibiscus cake in his hand to Liu Li and asked Liu Li to eat.

Then, Liu Yimeng took some pastries from the small table next to him, and gave them to the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and Xun'er one by one, and glanced at the shopkeeper carefully.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at this scene and nodded secretly, although the Liu family is poor, but the family education is excellent, there is no fight for food, the big one cares about the small, the small thinks about the big one, the father and son filial piety is like this.

"Shopkeeper, here today, we are here to sell fish, you can just look at this fish and give money." Liu Yiyu pointed to the three wooden barrels and said to the shopkeeper Zhang.

"What about the price of meat in winter? Now Xiangmanlou is the time when there is a shortage of fish. You just happened to have it delivered and helped me a lot? With this batch of fish, my business can be better for a while." Shopkeeper Zhang said, picked up the lid on the wooden barrel, looked at the fish inside, and saw that the lightest fish in the three wooden barrels weighed two catties, and the shopkeeper Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed Wang Hu to take it outside to have a catty two.

It's just that Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the Liu family, this look, I'm afraid that the eldest sister of the Liu family is in charge, but after thinking about it, this is all some women and children and half-grown children, and the eldest girl of the Liu family, as the eldest sister, is the oldest, so she naturally wants to pick up the burden of the Liu family.

It's no secret that fish are hard to catch in winter, the Liu family got nearly 100 catties of fish at once, I'm afraid it's all the credit of the eldest girl of the Liu family? .

"Sister Liu, will you send this fish next time?" Shopkeeper Zhang said after pondering for a while.

"Yes, as for the quantity to be determined". Liu Yiyu nodded affirmatively.

"In that case, then these fish, I Xiangmanlou accepted them at the price of twenty copper plates, what does the eldest sister of the Liu family think."

"If it is done, it will be done according to what the shopkeeper said." Liu Yiyu was stunned when he heard Shopkeeper Zhang say this price at first.

Liu Yiyu estimated in his heart that even if the price of fish in winter was comparable to the price of meat, the price of this fish would not be as high as twenty copper plates a catty, this price was too high, Liu Yiyu estimated in his heart that the price of eleven or twelve copper plates a catty.

However, as for the Liu Li family and the Liu family sisters and brothers who were eating dim sum on the side, they were eating dim sum on the side, and they pricked up their ears on the other side, listening to what their eldest sister and the shopkeeper Zhang said.

When they heard that the shopkeeper had bought his fish for twenty copper plates and a catty, their eyes widened one by one, and they even forgot to close their mouths to eat.

"In the past, the price was a little higher, but now there are no fish in the Dongfeng Restaurant, the opponent of Xiangmanlou, and there are fish sent by you in Xiangmanlou, and the business of Xiangmanlou will be overwhelmed by Dongfeng Restaurant for a while, and I have doubled the price of the dishes for making fish, and then you still have fish to send Xiangmanlou, so the price for you is not high." Shopkeeper Zhang explained.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, there may not be so many fish sent next time."

"Is there half of this time?".

"Yes".

"If there is, then it will be done".

"The shopkeeper, the fish sent by the Liu family, a total of one hundred and five pounds." At this time, Wang Hu walked in.

"Cheng, I know, this is two taels of silver and another penny, and the eldest sister of the Liu family can take it."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Zhang."

"It's okay, it's a matter of mutual benefit." Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand.

Then, the shopkeeper Zhang thought of this winter, the old and weak women and children of the Liu family and some half-old children, carrying a wooden bucket filled with water from the countryside to the town, it was really inconvenient, and the shopkeeper Zhang immediately said, "In the winter, it is not easy for you to catch up from the countryside, later, I will ask my boss to send you, and after changing the day, I will let him go to your house to drag fish."

"This ......, thank you to the shopkeeper, so be it! You send someone to my house once every three days to get fish, so that my family can prepare it." Liu Yiyu thought about it, but it was inconvenient for his own family, if someone came to drag the fish in the future, it would be convenient for his own family, so Liu Yiyu nodded and agreed.

"Xiangmanlou also has an ox cart to haul goods, the eldest sister of the Liu family doesn't have to mind, after all, this is not for your Liu family to set a precedent."

"There is such a labor shopkeeper."

Subsequently, the shopkeeper Zhang called Zhang Xin, set up the ox cart, and sent Liu Yiyu's family back to Shangu Village.

Before returning to Shangou Village, Liu Yiyu first went to the splendid cloth shop, handed over the embroidery sample of this month to the shopkeeper Huang, went to the iron shop to buy two hoes, and then bought a few catties of pork, and at the request of Liu Yihao, bought a pack of maltose for the seventh brother and the eighth sister, and finally went to Derentang to return the money for the old man.

At first, Xun Lao refused to accept it, saying, in the spring of the next year, when the honeysuckle bloomed, the Liu family made money and then repaid their own money, Liu Yiyu said that he even took out the silver money that sold fish and embroidery samples before looking for the old man, and the old man saw that the Liu family really had extra money before repaying his own money, and the old man accepted the money.
