Chapter 42: Heavy Rain

Qian Xiangui only felt that his ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear a word clearly what this person said, and there was only one thought in his mind: Fooled, fooled, Wang Shenhai, a liar, took my baby and hooked up with a nobleman, and he turned around and threw me aside. He stood like a log in front of the king's house for a long time, and then he wilted back, and his feet hurt, and then he remembered the donkey cart he had hired, and turned back to find it, and sat down and returned home, gave the gift in his hand to his wife, and fell down on the bed.

Qian Xiangui was sick, and Jiao was so shocked that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and hurriedly ran out.

"Stop! What's it that makes you panic like this? The doctor also looks at people, and if you go like this, he will be diagnosed if he is not sick. ”

"Oh!" was scolded by his mother-in-law, and Jiao settled down, barely stabilized, and went to invite the doctor to come over.

The doctor only said that it was difficult to feel comfortable and the liver qi was not strong, so he prescribed a prescription and asked him to grab a few pairs of medicine to eat and see, and left.

Jiao boiled the medicine and gave Qian Xiangui to drink, and then asked cautiously: "Won't the king help you?" ”

"You don't care!" Qian Xiangui was very unhappy, "It's all your crow's mouth, talk about it all day long, things are not bad, you are uncomfortable." ”

Jiao Shi didn't know why, and quit aggrievedly.

Lao Jiao guessed the reason, so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet in the house, lamenting that he was ill-fated, he couldn't be an official wife in this life, and he didn't even have an official mother.

The two fish that Qian Xiangui took home, Jiao's couldn't watch them go bad, so he had to make them himself and serve them to the table. She would also only simmer with a few slices of spinach and tofu.

Qian Xiangui had no appetite, this light and fragrant fish soup poured his appetite, and he drank a big bowl in one go, and his mood improved.

The king was promoted, and he didn't go to any place in the north and south of the world, it was in the provincial capital, and it would take less than a few days to take a boat, so why not look for it? Maybe he has more power in his hands, and he can better help him achieve his wishes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and ran to discuss it with Lao Jiao.

"Child, that's it, if you don't go to him, can Wang Shenhai remember who you are? Besides, if he takes our things, he must be afraid to make a noise, no matter what he takes to appease you, we will not suffer more. Lao Jiao took out a few taels of silver, thought about it, and added another piece, "Go to Wang's house to buy a ratskin coat, come to the house to get a pair of boots, and buy some walnuts and jujubes, and go to the provincial capital to visit him." If he turns his face, we also want him to look good. ”

"Okay, mother, I see. Mr. Sun, the teacher in our county, is also under the hands of Lord Futai, and I pretend to be familiar with Mr. Sun, but I don't dare to do anything excessive because of his surname Wang. ”

The two discussed, Qian Xiangui bought the gift the next day, and cleaned up himself, so that Zhang, who often works part-time at home, carried the burden and went out.

It was on this day that Wen Jin and Wang Jishan discussed the sale of duck eggs.

"Wen Jin, it's not that the uncle doesn't do his best, someone has sent a large number of Songhua eggs from the south, and now the price in the provincial capital has plummeted, and it is not as high as the price of salted duck eggs.

"Uncle, this is expected, we are already very lucky to be able to seize the opportunity and make a sum of money. I won't pickle the Songhua eggs for the time being, and I'll talk about it later. The people who ship Songhua eggs just want to make a lot of money, and the price is so low that they are likely to lose money, and the follow-up business will not be done. It doesn't matter if the price is lower than now, a long-term business is a good business. ”

"Alas!" Wang Jishan sighed, "Leather boots are not as good as before, I wanted to send them to the capital, but I didn't expect that there were people there to make them, not worse than ours at all, this year I will look at the mouse skin clothes, this is not the price is OK." ”

"Yes, it's definitely okay for the price. There are fewer mountain mice, and you can't catch mountain rats, even if you have a price, there is no goods. ”

"Huh? Alas, it should be like this, not only do we catch rats here, but now there are people doing this business in the whole Shanyang, the Wang family is fine, they stopped after the beginning of spring, I went to the county, they still have people to do it, and they are not afraid that the skin is not good, and it can't be sold. ”

"Let them be, some people like to do things that go out of their way to catch fish."

"Xiao Xiucai, you can only make salted duck eggs recently."

"Uncle, in business, you can't just make huge profits, and occasionally make a fortune, it's already good."

"Oh!" Wang Jishan left dejectedly. In the past, he was busy all year round, and he couldn't make much money, last year, suddenly good luck, a pair of leather boots, the provincial city gave him a profit of one or two silver, and then it was a pine flower egg, and then a rat skin coat, which surprised him, and he could earn money in a month for a year.

Then, the provincial city first came to the news, leather boots were imitated, the price did not rise but fell, and then, the rat skin coat also had people competing with him, after the beginning of spring, there was a sudden rumor, suspending the purchase of Songhua eggs, and now the news is accurate, it is completely stopped. He has one less way to make money.

Originally, he Wang Jishan was not a greedy person, but who would think that there was too much silver to bite his hands? After a year of easy and easy money, he is a little unaccustomed to returning to the days of hard work and not making money.

Wen Jin was very calm, she had long expected such a day. Where should she start next and develop new sources of finance? She is not in a hurry about this, anyway, the current days are also very good, last year's duck was the peak period, fifty or sixty duck eggs a day, she ate as much as she wanted, and the rest was sold. Qian Xiancheng has no financial acumen, blindly talks about feelings, and thinks that his brother-in-law eats at his own house, so he must be like it, Wei is an obedient person, what the man is called, Ge Shi of course is silent, what the eldest sister brings and what she does, of course a few children are eager to eat well, and the food level of the Qian family's second room has suddenly risen to the level. I don't often buy meat, but fish, eggs, and tofu, which are produced by my own family, are eaten casually.

In the summer, Wang Dashan often sends fresh fruits, and there are often mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables, and the dinner table is more abundant.

Of course, there are exchanges, and the Qian family will send Wang's tofu or duck eggs, which is equivalent to increasing the level of catering in disguise.

The human factor brings good things, and the only thing that doesn't go well is that the weather is causing trouble. Last winter was terribly cold, but this summer is very hot and humid, and there is a lot of rain, Wen Jin is very worried that the rice yield is not as good as last year, but agriculture depends on the sky for food, and she can only do her part.

On this day, it was pouring heavy rain again, Wen Jin was wearing a lily coat and a hat, and followed behind Wei Chenglan to check the rising water of the stream. Fortunately, the embankment was repaired in winter, otherwise the last heavy rain might have poured into the farmland.

The busyness of the previous period was exchanged for the peace of mind at this time, the topography of the duck shed and pigsty was much higher when it was rebuilt, and Wen Jin was not afraid of the rain backing up.

The two of them walked around and walked back, there seemed to be someone talking in front, and the heavy rain blocked the line of sight, and they couldn't see clearly, and it seemed that there was a figure in front of them.

"Look at it!"

"Hmm!"

When the two of them approached, they met Wang Han, who was covered in water.

"Wen Jin, you kid, your luck is too good. Last year, the pigs were raised, the weather was fine, there were no stumbling blocks at all, this year the pigsty was repaired, and the drainage ditch was made, and the rain was endless. I'm tired of it. It turned out that he saw that Wen Jin raised pigs and had manure fields, and he also hurriedly built a pigsty, Wang's family had a lot of land, and this year he planted rice, and he wanted to harvest a crop of crops in the fertile land, but he didn't expect that now the pigsty can swim, and the half-sized piglets have nowhere to go, so he can only plan to get the pigs home.

"Uncle Wang can be trusted, let my pigs be kept in pen for two days, and my easternmost circle has just been vacated."

Every time it is vacated, Wen Jin must do a good job of disinfection, and he will not put in the piglets for half a month, just borrowing Wang Han to use it.

"Thanks, thanks." Wang Han couldn't help but be overjoyed, "When the rain stops, I'll be like you, build a pigsty." ”

Wang Han and Wei Chenglan each carried two pig legs, carried the pig into the empty pigsty, and then said goodbye and went home.

Qian Xiancheng was reading a book under the eaves of the upper room, and when he saw that Wei Chenglan was covered in muddy water, he was very worried: "The water is overflowing?" ”

"No, Wang Han's pigsty is flooded, help him temporarily put our empty inside to raise." Wen Jin answered for Wei Chenglan.

"If you want it, if you want it, if you can help someone, just help it." He now believed that Wen Jin was not a stingy person.

The heavy rain stopped, and the fields were full of people, and there was too much water in the rice fields, so many people opened the ridges to drain the water. Wang Han praised Wenjin for having foresight when he saw people, last winter everyone not only repaired the ditch, but also repaired the drainage ditch, and now they are not afraid of drought and flood, and the people who heard it nodded one after another, and thought it was true.

The heavy rain finally passed, the weather suddenly became hot, the sun dried well for a few days, and the wheat ripened. The people of Shanwo Village, who have been worried for a long time, finally let go, if it rains endlessly during the wheat harvest, half a year's hard work will be in vain.

The lotus leaves have grown up, Wen Jin also raised the water surface to more than two feet high, and then put in the fish fry, and the ducklings also quacked under the large leaves of the pu fan, the water surface is large, the lotus leaves are few, and the ducks are fewer, Wei Chenglan stood on the embankment and watched, and said to Wen Jin with emotion: "Your piece of water, it is not a problem to raise tens of thousands of ducks."

"That's going to have to be one step at a time." Wen Jin paused, "My biggest regret is that the fish is not easy to sell, otherwise, how big the output of this piece of water should be." ”

"People are still poor and can't afford to eat."

Wen Jin also felt the same way, she came to that world, and in some areas, there were tens of thousands of acres of breeding water, and the cars that transported it every day shuttled back and forth.

"Uncle, we haven't raised any fish, and when we wait too long, I'll find a way to sell them."

"Haha, what can you do?"

"I can't sell fresh fish, but I can still sell salted fish, so I'm thinking about how to pickle fish now."

Wei Chenglan thought for a while: "You might as well have more lotus seeds, which are light to carry and easy to sell." ”

Wen Jin grinned, talking to Wei Chenglan is pleasant, he has a good brain, he is a good person, and he really has a harvest. "That's right, uncle, I raise lotus on the one hand, and ducks on the other, so don't delay, we still have fish to eat. Much better than what turned out to be a wasteland. ”
