Chapter 22 Exploiting Her Fame to Deceive You
Hearing that the veils were sold, Wang was very happy, although it was only twenty wen, but he also made money, and he took the needle and thread and made it again.
The next morning, Erlang pushed the door and came back, carrying a few quails in his hand, not much meat, but also silver.
Wang handed them more than thirty handkerchiefs, and the colors were more delicate than yesterday's.
Catching up with the sun, Chen Xiaonian and Erlang went out again.
At this time, Chen Xiangwen's family came to the edge of the stream, looking at the rising water, Fang's sighed: "This used to be a stream, when did it become a river?" There's never been a fish here, are you sure they caught fish from here? ”
"I saw it in both eyes, and there were several baskets! Yesterday I followed them all the way, and saw that they sold for four taels of silver. ”
Four taels!
It can be sold for a full four taels!
Wang rubbed his palms and urged them to hurry into the water.
Chen Xiangwen had already taken off his shoes and socks, and called his father Chen Zhitang to go into the water together.
In the early morning, the river was cold, and the two of them screamed for a while. But standing in the middle of the river, not a single fish was seen.
"Impossible! Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the mute man of Chen Xiaonian's family went into the water with a bamboo basket, and when he lifted it, the basket was full of fish...... Could it be that they have been hunted down? ”
After standing on the shore and scolding for a while, Fang called Chen Xiangwen to go upstream, letting his father Chen Zhitang net the fish below.
Sure enough, the fish are all upstream, although they are all small fish, but in Chen Xiangwen's eyes, they are all white flowers.
But when you look at the fish, it's not so easy to catch. Chen Xiangwen and his father tossed for a long time and only caught a few small fish, which was not enough to stuff their teeth.
was so anxious that Fang stood next to him and scolded.
Looking at the sun, Fang called for them to come ashore and said to go to the town first.
Chen Xiangwen was unwilling and had to fish all the fish here.
Fang Shi grabbed him up and scolded: "You don't have an open mind, let's go to the town now, let's go to the market first to take a look, there are always some dead fish and rotten shrimp, buy them cheaply, and then we sell them at a high price, just as profitable!" ”
As soon as the family left, Chen Xiaonian and Erlang had already rushed over.
Seeing that there were water stains on the shore, Erlang frowned.
Chen Xiaonian didn't think much about it, "Probably someone passed by and came in to fetch water." ”
When the water was lowered, Chen Xiaonian dripped the spiritual spring water, and the fish gradually poured up, and the two always felt that there were many fewer fish today.
There were no big fish today, but I still caught two small fish in a bamboo basket.
When they arrived in the town, the two went directly to the restaurant, and the shopkeeper's face was not very good-looking, and he waved his hand and said, "Didn't I already receive your fish today?" I said, little lady, if your fish is still like today in the future, I won't accept it. ”
Glancing at the fish in Erlang's hand, the two of them were confused, "Shopkeeper, our fish is still here." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, "Didn't you send the fish just now?" ”
Chen Xiaonian shook his head, "We just came." ”
The shopkeeper's face sank, and he shouted to the man to bring the fish he collected today, and when the two of them saw it, they almost lost their breath and died half.
The bucket was full of dead fish and rotten shrimp, and if you turned it down, some of the fish's eyes had already turned into a white mist, apparently dead last night.
"Shopkeeper, our fish are all caught today, and they are fresh every day. I've been doing business with you for so long, and you should know who I am. ”
Saying that, Chen Xiaonian brought the fish he caught today to the shopkeeper, although a lot of fish in the bamboo basket died, the eye mask was still clean, and even some fish were still breathing with their mouths open.
By the way, this is the fish he has been keeping.
The shopkeeper asked the guy to buy a new one, put the two bamboo baskets brought by Chen Xiaonian into it, and sighed: "Those three people said that they were your relatives and from a village, and they said that your family couldn't come today because of something, so they asked them to bring me fish." I didn't look at it much, and gave the silver directly, who would have thought that I would be deceived for two taels of silver! ”
Erlang suddenly pulled Chen Xiaonian and said a name silently.
Chen Xiangwen.
No wonder Chen Xiangwen has been following them yesterday, and it turns out that he has been eyeing this way of making money early in the morning!
Chen Xiaonian gritted his teeth, "Shopkeeper, even if I compensate you for this fish, you can throw away those dead fish and rotten shrimp." ”
She shouted that Erlang was leaving, but the shopkeeper didn't want to go and called them back.
"It's not necessary, it's just that the business in the restaurant has been bleak in the past two days, and I haven't made much money, otherwise, I would have covered you up a long time ago."
The shopkeeper pointed to the quails in Erlang's hand, "That's it, even if you gave me the fish, I bought these quails." ”
After that, the shopkeeper took out two taels of silver.
Chen Xiaonian was embarrassed, so he shirked it, and the shopkeeper directly stuffed the silver into Erlang's hand, turned around and left.
She still wanted to return it, but Erlang directly picked up the silver.
"How do you ......"
Jiro looked at her and asked her with a pair of eyes: ?
Chen Xiaonian was speechless.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of money, and two taels of silver are not easy to come by.
Erlang handed her the two taels of silver and walked straight forward.
There is still a handkerchief embroidered by Wang's hand, with yesterday's experience, Chen Xiaonian did not go to the shop, but stood on the street and sold.
Erlang pointed to the side, and was about to leave for a while, Chen Xiaonian didn't think much about it, and shouted to him to come back quickly.
After turning a corner, Erlang leaned against the corner and looked at his little daughter-in-law from a distance, as long as there was a girl and aunt passing by, she couldn't wait to take out all the colors of the handkerchief and show it to others.
Alas.
Seeing the two girls in front of him, Erlang was about to hand over the prepared silver money to others, and called them to buy the handkerchief of the little daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect to look up and see that the handkerchief in Chen Xiaonian's hand had been sold.
He walked back, and it happened that his mother-in-law gave Chen Xiaonian thirty yuan.
"Girl, in the future, your mother will take it directly to me when she makes a handkerchief, and I will accept it. Well, my stall is right there. ”
Looking in the direction, I really saw a small stall there.
"Auntie, what are you doing with so many veils?"
The eldest lady didn't hide it: "My man is a runner, and these handkerchiefs embroidered by your mother are beautiful in color, and they should be easy to sell in the county." ”
"Cheng, then I'll go back and tell my mother, and the handkerchief will be sent directly to you in the future."
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Xiaonian suddenly had an idea and ran back again.
She ran away coldly, Erlang chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly chased after her.
Chen Xiaonian caught up with the eldest mother: "Auntie, my mother will also make some little dolls to coax children, I don't know if you can accept it here, it's probably like this......"
She gestured, but the eldest lady didn't understand it, and she didn't understand it.
The eldest lady had never seen anything like this, so she only said that she would let Chen Xiaonian bring it over tomorrow to take a look.
Just about to go home, Jiro suddenly pulled her.
Looking ahead, Chen Xiaonian gritted his teeth, rushed over and grabbed Chen Xiangwen's collar.
