Chapter Fifty-Six: Selling Fish

Wei Chenglan couldn't help but think of her youngest daughter's thin and stupid appearance at the beginning of the year, and couldn't help clenching her fists, wanting to lead her clan to get rich even more.

"Uncle, do you know how to cut paint? What a pity that there are so many sumac trees on the mountain, but no one harvests them? Oh, by the way, you can also plant some sumac trees, which can prevent wind and fix sand, and it will also be an industry in the future. ”

"I won't cut paint." Wei Chenglan was a little regretful, and then, he made up his mind and said, "I'll inquire and see who can, we can learn." ”

Wen Jin felt that it was very difficult, she rushed to the mountain, and she didn't see any traces of harvest on the lacquer tree, it is estimated that in this area, few people are engaged in this industry, Wei Chenglan also thought about it, and her face showed regret.

"We can ask Wang Jishan, he often goes out, does he know someone in this area, and help invite a master to come."

"Good!" Wei Chenglan couldn't help but want to touch Wen Jin's head, "You are just smart, how can this head grow?" ”

Wen Jin's body flashed back, and Wei Chenglan's hand fell into the air. She is a girl, and now she is twelve, and she cannot fail to pay attention to this aspect.

Wei Chenglan was thinking about how to revitalize Wei Jiawan, otherwise, with his shrewdness, he might suspect that something was wrong with Wen Jin.

Wei Chenglan stayed in the mountain nest for six days, helped Qian Xiancheng transport duck and pig manure to the field, and returned to Weijiawan.

Wen Jin's rice field, because of its fertility, is higher than that of other people in Shanwo Village. Last year, her paddy field plants were sparse, with an average yield of less than 500 per mu, and this year's reasonable dense planting, with an increase of nearly 100 catties per mu, and the average yield was almost 600.

Wen Jin's duck manure and pig manure are not used up by themselves, and they are also sold to the outside world, those jobs are all done by Shi Xiaofeng's ancestors and grandchildren, and the money is also given to them, Shi Xiaofeng is seventeen years old, he has grown a head taller than when he met back then, and he has a lot of strength, in addition to making tofu, he also helps Wen Jin clean up the duck shed pigsty when he is free, and Wen Jin naturally has to pay him, which is these farm fertilizers.

In the month of Layue, he sold the big fat pigs in the pen, and left more than a dozen of the male ducks that had grown up this year, and the rest were also sold, and then, Wen Jin began to think about selling fish again.

Last year, the rattan gift boxes that sold fish were all made by Uncle Wei next door, and this year there are more fish, and Ge's can have a lot, Wen Jin estimates that it is enough.

Mingshan didn't come to Wen Jin to sell fried fat sausages again, he partnered with Baoshan, and only occasionally sent a few washed ones to the mountain nest, and let Wen Jin make them for his family to eat.

In this year's fish pond, there are many more fish than last year, this is the result of natural reproduction, more than a dozen acres of water surface, Wen Jin estimates that there are thousands of fish, and there are at least seven or eight hundred big fish that can be sold, and how many are in the big fish pond, Wen Jin can't estimate at all. It was impossible for Lin Jinzhen to digest such a large amount, so Wen Jin let out the words and hired someone to sell it.

The first one to rush out turned out to be Wang Han's wife Chen, Wen Jin really admired this fast-handed woman.

The women of the month of Layue have a lot of work, the quilts and cotton clothes of the whole family have to be dismantled and washed, and they are sewn again, just this one job, so that some women who grind can not finish it, and they don't have to make new clothes and shoes for the whole family, after the twenty-third of the lunar month, there is also a stall in the kitchen, steamed buns, fried dumplings, boiled meat, and then sliced into steamed bowls, chopped stuffing and dumplings, and the cabbage and radish to be eaten in the first month, all washed and put into the basket to cover, this amount of labor is also very large, almost every woman in every household, are not sleeping in the middle of the night, Especially if the family is poor and pays attention to cleanliness, the housewives who have to wait for the children and men to sleep, take apart the cotton clothes they wear, wash the inside and outside, put them on the smoker cage to dry, and then put in the cotton wool and sew it, and the next day, the family has to wear it.

"Auntie, you are too powerful, other women are so busy that they only hate their father and mother for not having two more hands, you are good, you have nothing to do." Wen Jin and Wang Chen joked.

"Oh, Xiao Xiucai, my aunt is just fast, where can I match your brain? Say, how can I help you sell fish? ”

"In this way, the red box is sixty wen, the blue box is fifty wen, the green box is forty wen, the yellow box is thirty wen, you sell one box, earn two wen, whatever you want, I have only one condition, I can't sell it in Linjin Town."

"Hehe, okay, Xiao Xiucai, my son is at his uncle's house, it's in Chen Yuzhen, I'll sell it there."

"Good! At the beginning of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, you came here to pull fish. ”

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Wei Chenglan came to pick up his wife and children home, just to help Wen Jin catch fish. The ice on the pond has been carved into a big hole, Wen Jin put down the fishing net in advance, and then sprinkled a handful of fish food, and when these foodies rushed up to scramble, they quickly picked up the net, and fished out a full 200 catties at once.

These fish are in the water, they are so strong, when the net is lifted, Wei Chenglan, Qian Xiancheng, Wen Han, Shi Xiaofeng, neighbor Wei Ronghe, plus Wang Han who happened to pass by, the six of them almost couldn't drag it.

However, as soon as they came out of the water, they were immediately frozen. According to the size, Wen Jin packed the box and temporarily placed it in the vacant feeding warehouse.

To help sell fish, in addition to Wang Chen's younger son, the eldest son and second son of the Wang family, as well as Wei Ronghe and his wife, plus Wen Jin and Wen Han, four hundred catties of fish, should be no problem.

Because the people in Linjin Town had already seen such a gift box fish last year, they didn't think it was strange for a long time, and they planned to buy it, so they started early. Last year, Wen Jin deliberately raised the price before the year, even if she couldn't sell it, she had to give people the impression that she had bought it early, and sure enough, as soon as the two appeared on the street, someone asked for the price, and just after lunch, a donkey cart was sold out.

The two cleaned up and were about to go home, Yang Shanwa came over, and the money was forced by Lao Jiao's to dismantle and wash the clothes at home, and the family looked clean.

"Wen Han, Wen Jin, when you get to the town, why don't you come to the house for dinner?" It's quite nice to say, well, Yang Shanwa's IQ is higher than that of Qian Chuan.

"Uncle, don't bother, you build a house this year, there must be a lot of things at home."

"Alright, it's all packed." Yang Shanwa grinned happily, his wife went to the mountain nest to make a fuss, but she didn't get anything, but she trapped the Qian family's big house, and the old Jiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were much better here, forcing them to clean up well, and now, the family finally has a human appearance.

When Yang Shanwa was eating, he heard his youngest son Hei Chou say that the two cousins were selling fish, and he hurried over, hoping to pick a bottom and get a piece to eat.

Wen Jin knew that this level could not be spared, last year when she sold fish, she took five or six of the money strings, and the big house also gave four of them, this year, she didn't want to be so cheap for them.

"Uncle, as soon as it goes on the market today, it will be robbed by people, and I can't leave you two, so it's better for you to call Brother Black Egg to go to my pond to fish." Wen Jin pretended to be enthusiastic.

Yang Shanwa's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, good!" Wen Jin, you wait a while. ”

With Yang Shanwa and Yang Heidan, plus Qian Xiancheng, Shi Xiaofeng, Uncle Shi, Wen Jin and Wen Han, several people finally netted a bag of fish.

This fish also has an IQ, and it only took two nets, and they were cautious when eating, this net, at most, was one hundred and twenty or thirty catties, and Wen Jin had to go down three nets in a row to get enough of it.

Yang Shanwa's father and son were lazy, but they were even more greedy, they worked, each carrying a big catfish, Wen Jin gave a small basket of sauerkraut, and carefully explained how to make sauerkraut fish, and they went home with a satisfied grin.

"Uncle, if you come back tomorrow afternoon, you will help me bring one of these two fish to my uncle's family."

Qian Xiancheng was very satisfied with Wen Jin's performance, and praised Wei Shi when he went home: "The child has grown up and is more sensible." ”

In this society, advocating etiquette and emphasizing filial piety, if Wen Jin doesn't have any water in the big house, it won't sound good for people to know, besides, Yang Zhangwa and his son have worked for half an afternoon, and the salary is worth two fish, Wen Jin has also thought about it, blindly preventing is not a way, and the selfless dedication of the second uncle, she can't do it, it is better to rationally develop and utilize resources, Yang Zhangwa ate the fish, and she also had someone to help pull the net.

Catfish eat fish, and after a year, it will grow very big, not to mention that this is two years old, enough to have six or seven catties, and when the money string saw the victory fruit in the man's hand when he came back, his eyes immediately flashed gold, and his saliva was about to fall: "Where did it come from?" My second brother gave it? ”

"yes!" Yang Shanwa couldn't help but laugh and walked into the kitchen with the fish.

"You don't know how to cook." Qian Kuan String chased after him, looking surprised.

"Wen Jin told me how to do it, No, and gave me a basket of sauerkraut."

"It's better to be the second brother, do a job, just give such a big fish, your brother, hum, we have worked for a year, and we didn't say anything, his family eats fragrant and spicy, let's drink the northwest wind." Since Wen Han sent her back to him, Qian Chuanchuan decided that the big house was not as good as the second room, although Jiao's pretended to show favor in later days, but how can the fake be compared to the real one?

Qian Kuan was still afraid that the man would spoil the good things, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.

"Don't, this fish is not something that can be eaten by just stewing it, Wen Jin said, it has to be fried first, otherwise it will smell earthy."

"Oh." Qian Chuanchuan didn't know the fish, standing at the door of the kitchen, Yang Shanwa didn't know how to do it at all, it was easy to wash, cut into pieces, drained the water, wrapped in flour and ready to fry, he felt good about himself, just had to choke twice, a drop of hot oil burst open, and his arm was burned. "I'll do it anyway!" The fragrance not only attracted money strings, but also attracted black eggs and black ugly, the two brothers stood at the door of the kitchen, frozen and sniffed, and were reluctant to walk away, as if they smelled for a while, their stomachs were full. Yang Shanwa's hand was soaked in ice water for a while, it didn't hurt anymore, and she ran back to the kitchen: "Damn, Wen Jin said, this fish has seven or eight catties, let's eat half of it tonight, and eat the other half at noon tomorrow, don't do it all." ”
