Wen Jin wants to develop the Qian family to a certain scale within three years, and she has a housekeeper to help her, so she doesn't have to work so hard inside and out, and she can restore her daughter's body.

The number of pigs and ducks has increased, with Wei Chenglan here, Wen Jin and Uncle Shi are still much more idle. Every few days, Wen Jin will also cook and cook, steamed fish, fish head tofu soup, sauerkraut fish, bean curd fish, she makes everything full of taste, and the family eats with a smile.

Ge's cooking talent is higher than that of Wei's, she has eaten once, and after seeing Wen Jin's practice, she can imitate seven or eight points by pondering it herself.

There are no festivals, the fish is not easy to sell, Wen Jin loves this bite the most, and he has to catch it five or six times a month, on the dining table at home, the fresh fish with different tricks, even Xiao Liangxi can skillfully spit out the thorns.

Mingshan occasionally sends some fat sausages, he has many families, this is cheap and delicious, not to mention that in addition to fried fat sausages, you can also make pork belly soup, cold pork belly, enema, etc., spend a lot of money, so that the family can satisfy their hunger. A pair of pigs in the water, intestines, stomach plus pig's trotters, pig's head, which are people's favorite in later generations, but this era is relatively cheap.

On weekdays, there is no oil and water in the stomach, people prefer big fat meat, and there is another reason, the local people cook, the most high-grade is steamed strip meat, which requires pork belly, and now, the meat stall is the most expensive.

Every time Mingshan sent fat intestines over, Wen Jin would catch fish as a return gift, and occasionally add a piece of tofu and let him take it home to stew soup.

Fish farmers hate catfish the most, it will swallow all the small fish, probably because of this, its nickname is pond lice. I don't know when, there was such a thing in the pond, and Wen Jin caught it several times, but he didn't get his wish.

Mingshan heard about it, and Wenhan took the pocket of the net fish, and when the fish head frequently emerged from the water to breathe in the rainy weather, he went to catch it, and it was as he wished.

This catfish is six or seven catties, Wen Jin prepared the ingredients, told Mingshan how to make sauerkraut fish, and gave it to him as a gift.

Although the catfish is nutritious, she doesn't like the smell, it's oily and greasy.

Mingshan heard Wen Jin say that the oil is big, and he doesn't understand why she doesn't like it, doesn't the oil represent the fragrance? But Wen Jin was with him, he had one thing to say, and he was never polite, he suppressed his doubts and happily carried the fish home.

As soon as he entered the town, he was on the opposite side of Jiao's. The Qian family is at the north end of the town, and it is close to the Wang family, so it is not strange to meet.

Jiao's eyes immediately widened, and she asked sourly, "Mingshan, did the fish catch it from my fish pond?" ”

"Aren't you separated? It was the fish pond of Second Uncle Qian's house. ”

"It's our money family anyway." Jiao's strong words were reasonable, Mingshan no longer paid attention to her, and went with his head held high.

Jiao Shi also hurriedly returned home, muttering in front of the man: "I'm so angry, the second brother gave the fish to the Wang family, and he didn't even give us one by the way, you see that his family moved to Shanwo Village, we can't even touch a line, the Wang family and the family have made a fortune, I heard that Qian Wenjin also passed the method of raising rice to the people in the village, and he didn't want a penny of benefits." Did he do it on purpose, you say? Isn't that a slap in the face? ”

Why don't you get annoyed when you are expensive? The second couple is easy to handle, he has repeatedly succeeded in the past, but he didn't expect Qian Wenjin to be easy to get his hands on, and now those two of them actually listen to a little child, and his request can't succeed every time. Besides, with Wei Chenglan's support, the Qian family's big house can only watch dryly, and there is nothing to be done about the second room.

Qian Xiangui swallowed this breath for a while, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "And bear with it again, Master Wang said that it has been almost done, and I will be able to become an official within this year, hmph, see how I repair her then." ”

"It's been two years, he always said it's going to be fast, how long do you have to wait, he can't say last year, it's another year in the blink of an eye."

"What do you know as a woman? He said, you have to wait for the opportunity, luck can't stop it, if the luck doesn't arrive, take it by force, but it's a bad thing, the so-called speed is not reached, he is also very anxious. ”

"Xianggong, why don't you go to the second child's house again and ask for a few fish to send to the king's book, didn't you say that he is a glutton, the most delicious?"

"Okay!"

This time, Qian Xiangui suddenly got his wish. He ran into Wei Chenglan: "Brother Wei, I'm in a hurry to go to the county to do something, can you help catch a few fish?" ”

Wei Chenglan's big eyes, black and bright, looked at him so quietly, as if he could see through people, Qian Xiangui couldn't help but panic in his heart, and quickly took out a few coppers and pretended to buy them.

Wei Chenglan frowned, and said in her heart that your money is so big? However, among relatives, he didn't care too much, so he took the money, fished out two fish, put a straw rope through it, and handed it over.

Qian Xiangui was very distressed, and felt that he had lost a lot of money, and a fish was only three or five yuan, but he paid eight yuan, and Wei Chenglan gave two of them: "Brother Wei, do you see if there are two less?" It's not generous enough to hold it. ”

"Brother Qian, you don't just bring fish as a gift, right? Don't buy a snack anymore and bring some local products? Wei Chenglan asked strangely, one catty of fish and three wen, these two fish are around two catties, they have already lost money, and it is impossible for him to catch them again.

Qian Xiangui was speechless, so he had to leave obediently.

Wei Chenglan went home and gave the copper to Qian Xiancheng.

"What kind of money do you charge, your uncle is also ......" Qian Xiancheng has always been afraid of money biting his hand, and he is even more shy when he mentions money.

Wen Jin heard it and hurriedly came over: "Uncle, if it weren't for the evil of the uncle, can we move to the mountain nest?" Last year, Wen Han and I were so tired that he didn't even look at it, let alone reach out to help. When he came to get the fish today, he didn't enter the door, he was afraid of bringing gifts to our family. Hmph, in the future, if you don't want his money, we won't give him fish. ”

Qian Xiancheng said to Wen Jin: "You, you ......" twice, but he couldn't say anything to refute, his brother-in-law had always blamed him for being pedantic, but now the relationship between the two has just been reconciled, he can't just send the handle to the door again, Dafang is too affectionate, let him say anything.

Qian Xiangui didn't know that Wei Chenglan lived in his second brother's house before, and on the way back, he was resentful. He knows very well that this is a person who understands, and he is not all the way with his second brother and sister-in-law, and in the future, with Wei Chenglan here, I am afraid that his trick will be difficult to achieve.

Qian Xiangui hired a donkey cart, and after carrying two fish to the county seat, he added some money, bought snacks and tuyi, and went to the king's house.

The door of the king's house was guarded by General Tie, and the courtyard was quiet.

Qian Xiangui felt a sudden burst in his heart, looked left and right for a long time, and finally ran into a neighbor. "Master Wang was promoted, and he went to Futai Yamen in the provincial capital to do experience. Tsk, there are people in the court who are good officials, and they haven't moved for more than ten years, and this division has just gone to the Ministry of Officials, and he has been promoted to one level......"
