Chapter 30: Boating

After Li Qingzhi took his two children to the county seat today, Jin Xiaoye made a pot of rice at home. She didn't cook dry food before, but recently Li Qingzhi brought money home every day...... She now cooks dry meals every day.

It doesn't feel good to be hungry, and she doesn't want to be hungry if she can be fed.

When she had breakfast, Jin Xiaoshu came, and she walked with Jin Xiaoshu to find the old man who wanted to rent out the boat.

The two of them asked and walked all the way, and it was not until noon that they found someone and saw the boat.

This old man's family has very little land, and the paddy fields are only more than one acre, and the grain grown is not enough for his family to eat, but fortunately, when the family first separated, his father gave him a boat, and he was able to support his family by relying on this boat.

The old man gave birth to a son and two daughters, the two daughters have been married, and the son has also married and had children. A few years ago, he planned to hand over the boat to his son, and he was doing some farm work at home to support his life, but his son was accidentally injured when he was pulled to do chores, and later died of a high fever.

Fortunately, his son left behind a grandson, and he continued to support his grandson, but he had injured his waist while helping the ship-hire to carry the goods not long ago, and he could not do anything.

He couldn't hold the boat anymore, so he wanted to rent it out.

The old man asked for a low rent because his boat was older, and his nephew and his daughter-in-law's brother were worried about it and were not allowed to rent it.

Jin Xiaoye figured out the situation, and after inspecting the ship, he planned to rent it.

The old man's nephew and his daughter-in-law's younger brother both wanted a boat, which was indeed a bit troublesome, and the people in the same village of the old man were made afraid to rent a boat by these two people, but she was not from the same village as the old man.

The nephew of the old man and the younger brother of his daughter-in-law, can they still come to Miaoqian Village to trouble her?

Jin Xiaoye negotiated the rent in twos and threes, and said that he would not pay for today in ten days, so he shook the old man's boat and left.

During this period, the nephew of the old man came to the door, but Jin Xiaoye was not afraid at all: "I am from Miaoqian Village, surnamed Jin, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to Miaoqian Village to find me!" ”

After speaking, Jin Xiaoye also added: "I have several brothers, and my uncle works in the Xiangjun!" ”

The old man's nephew didn't dare to make any more trouble.

If the people in the same village want to rent a boat, he can go to other people's houses to make trouble or go to other people's houses to cry, but it is not easy to do it in other villages, and it is impossible for the people in the village to help him in this matter.

As for stopping Jin Xiaoye now...... The people of Miaoqian Village have been wronged by them, and they will definitely come to him for trouble.

In short, Jin Xiaoye successfully took the boat.

Jin Xiaoye has long wanted to row a boat to do business, she loved money when she was a child, and when she was a child, she heard Jin Jasmine show off what delicious food she ate in the county, and she thought that she would also eat it herself in the future.

At that time, when her father went to give people a soju banquet, she would be very active in helping out, just to learn some skills.

But her father actually doesn't have much ability, and there is already her father in Miaoqian Village, so she can't rob her father of his job.

At that time, she felt that the most powerful person in Miaoqian Village was Yao Gonggong, and she also wanted a boat to make money like Yao Gonggong.

Because of this idea, she observed how Yao Gonggong rowed.

After she got married, she even wanted to learn rowing with Yao Zhenfu, but because she was afraid that she would have something with Yao Zhenfu all day long, she specially stayed away from Yao's house and finally failed to learn.

Although she didn't learn it, she used to ask Yao Gonggong or other boatmen about rowing skills when she used to take a boat...... got on the boat, and Jin Xiaoye rowed directly.

These small boats can be rowed with oars or supported by bamboo poles.

Jin Xiaoye plans to toss it today and try to make money tomorrow.

Jin Xiaoshu had never rowed before, and after getting on the boat, he saw Jin Xiaoye rowing directly, and asked curiously: "Sister, when did you learn rowing?" ”

Jin Xiaoye said: "I haven't learned. ”

"You don't know how to row, why do you rent a boat?" Jin Xiaoshu was a little confused.

"No, I'm sure I'll learn!" Jin Xiaoye was very confident: "If it weren't for the fact that Da Mao Ermao had no one to take him, and you were still too young to follow me out, I would have rented a boat and tried it a long time ago!" ”

Jin Xiaoshu said: "Da Mao Ermao can let his mother take ......"

"My mother can help me bring it for a day or two, but after a long time, she will definitely not be willing, or dare not." Jin Xiaoye snorted lightly.

She couldn't know her mother better.

The temperament is so soft that she can't do it, and she doesn't have any opinions about what others say, and she's very afraid of her grandmother.

Her grandmother is here...... She is unwilling to let her daughter and granddaughter who marries out go back to take advantage of the Jin family.

She asked her mother to help take care of Da Mao Ermao, in her grandmother's opinion, she was taking advantage of the Jin family, and she would definitely not agree.

Of course, if she gives money, that's a different story...... If that's the case, her grandmother might rush to bring her the baby.

But when she has the most money in her hand, she only runs more than four points, how dare she spend it so extravagantly?

Jin Xiaoshu smiled embarrassedly, his mother was really not a good thing, he was bullied when he was a child, and he never expected his father and mother to give him a head, so he cried to his sister.

Then her sister would take him to seek justice.

For this reason, he always wanted to help Jin Xiaoye a few years ago, but he was sixteen years old this year, and he was even younger a few years ago, so he couldn't help anything at all.

Jin Xiaoye is not skilled in rowing, the boat is crooked and moving forward, but her face is full of smiles: "Xiaoshu, if I can earn money rowing, I can buy two more acres of land!" Your brother-in-law is literate and fast, and Da Mao Ermao follows him to learn, and he may be able to go to the county seat to find an errand in the future! ”

"Hmm." Jin Xiaoshu nodded happily.

Jin Xiaoye said again: "When we make money, we will go to the restaurant in the county seat to eat, and you can also build a big house without living with them!" ”

Jin Xiaoshu listened to the bright future described by Jin Xiaoye and felt full of energy.

While learning to row, the two rushed to the county seat, wanting to pick up Li Qingzhi.

But their rowing skills were not good, so they arrived a little late, just in time to hear that Yao Zhenfu disliked the chicken that Li Qing insisted on giving him.

Jin Xiaoshu and Jin Xiaoye went out after breakfast, and they didn't eat a second meal until now, they were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and at this time, they heard that someone disliked the chicken given by the Zhu family......

How delicious yesterday's chicken was! Jin Xiaoshu had never eaten such delicious chicken before!

There are many Jin families, and it is rare to kill a chicken, and his grandmother is chopped up and cooked with other things, and if he cooks it in a big pot, he can only get one or two pieces, but what about yesterday? The whole thing, including the chicken wings with the small chicken legs underneath, was all his, and there was oily chicken soup to eat, and he also ate some chicken skin......

Li Qingzhi saw Jin Xiaoshu's blank eyes and knew that Jin Xiaoshu was greedy.

Don't say Jin Xiaoshu is greedy, even he is greedy!

Although he eats well these days, he has been hungry for many years and he doesn't mind eating more.

Li Qingzhi was grateful to Yao Gonggong for taking him to the county seat every day, and Yao Zhenfu had lent him books, so he planned to give chicken, but now they don't want it, so he won't give it.

Li Qing gave it to Jin Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, you can take it back and eat it with your father." ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Jin Xiaoshu looked surprised.

Yao Gonggong was finally not embarrassed at this time, and looked at Jin Xiaoye curiously: "Xiaoye, where did you come from?" ”

"Uncle Yao, I rented this boat." Jin Xiaoye said with a smile.

"You have a lot of ideas, it's good to rent a boat." Yao Gonggong sighed a little.

Although Jin Xiaoye is a woman, she has the courage to speak, and she has met people in the county seat after going to the county seat a few times, and after she has a boat, she will definitely be able to earn money.

His daughter-in-law grew up with Jin Xiaoye, why is her personality completely different?

Yao Zhenfu looked at Jin Xiaoye with disdain at this time: "You are a woman who shows up, what kind of system has you become!" ”

"I want you to be nosy!" Jin Xiaoye snorted coldly. She is not the only woman rocking the boat in this county, what is Yao Zhenfu doing so wide?

Yao Zhenfu wanted to say something, but Yao Zhenfu took him away with a bamboo pole: "Xiao Ye, since you have a boat, I'll go first." ”

Although Yao Zhenfu left with his son, they could still hear Yao Zhenfu's complaints from a distance.

Jin Xiaoshu said: "This Yao Zhenfu is really annoying. ”

Jin Xiaoye nodded in agreement, and said to Li Qing again: "You come here, I'll help you get on the boat, you have to be careful." ”

Jin Xiaoye's control of the boat is not as good as that of Yao Gonggong, Li Qing really had to be careful when he got on the boat, and when he got on the boat, he saw Li Damao and Li Ermao being carried by Jin Xiaoye's arm and carried onto the boat.

Jin Xiaoye's strength is not great, but it is still very easy for people who are used to farm work to carry two skinny children.

Li Damao and Li Ermao got on the boat, and began to chatter: "Mother, let's go to the restaurant for dinner today!" ”

"There's a table of dishes! A table! ”

"Mother, I ate fried fish, it's fragrant."

……

"Have you gone to the restaurant for dinner?" Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi in shock, going to the restaurant to eat, that was one of her dreams!

"Yes," Li Qingzhi laughed, "There is a Master Ding who also wants to invite me to copy books, so he invited me to dinner." ”

As he spoke, Li Qingzhi opened the oil paper bag in his hand, took out a fried minnow and sent it to Jin Xiaoye's mouth: "Xiaoye, you taste it." ”

Jin Xiaoye took a bite, and then was amazed by the taste of fried fish.

Daqi already has vegetable oil, and some landlords in Chongcheng County will also plant large areas of rape when the weather is cold and they can't grow rice.

Rapeseed grows in the winter and produces golden rape flowers in the spring, and when they are ripe, they can be squeezed out of rapeseed oil when they are sent to the oil mill.

In addition, peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds can also be extracted for oil.

However, although vegetable oil is available, the production of oil is very low at this time, and the price is very high.

Ordinary people living in the city would buy some oil, wipe the bottom of the pot while cooking, or use it to light the lamp.

But the countryside ...... Basically, no one buys oil to cook.

Use oil to fry things...... That's something that only rich people do!

"Brother-in-law, can I eat it?" Jin Xiaoshu asked.

"Let's eat." Li Qing insisted.

Jin Xiaoshu grinned, quickly took a fried fish, and shouted as soon as he took a small bite: "This is also so delicious, how can there be such a delicious thing in this world......"

He ate as he spoke, but he was reluctant to eat more, and only took a little bite and put it in his mouth every time to savor it.

Li Qingzhi smiled and opened a few other oiled paper bags: "There are also roast chicken, sauced duck, braised pork ...... here."

Jin Xiaoshu's eyes straightened: "Brother-in-law, you are so powerful, you can get so much delicious food!" ”

The amount of dishes in the restaurant is quite large, but in fact, there is not much good meat left in dishes like roast chicken sauce and duck, and Li Qingzhi packs most of the duck head chicken feet and the like.

These things are expensive in modern times, but in the eyes of people at this time, these things are certainly not as good as chicken breasts and duck breasts.

But even so, it's meat!

The key is...... The food in the restaurant is delicious!

"If you like it, eat more." Li Qing insisted.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Don't eat it yet, go back quickly, and eat this when you go back." ”
