The Landlord's Life After Wearing a Book

Chapter 23 23 Selling Fish
At this time, Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi finished putting the fish in the basket and went home.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, the two saw a figure running away in a panic, accompanied by cursing, and the voice was obviously an adult man.

Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi looked at each other, flustered.

They didn't expect the thief to come to the door so quickly and ran back to the yard quickly.

The kitchen and the house were checked and no valuables were found.

Not even one of the mouse traps they use to keep out thieves has been touched.

Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi were a little confused.

What is this thief here for?
To show off that he's been here?

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and a loud cock crow broke the silence of Maotou Village.

The villagers in Maotou Village got up one after another to start their day's work.

Wang Weiwei lay on the bed, blinking.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Weiwei woke up instantly.

Oops, her fish!

Opening the door, Wang Weiwei saw Er Gouzi standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I brought the fish back. Didn't you say that if there were too many fish, we went to the county to sell them early this morning?
I saw that there are a total of forty or fifty fish in several baskets, a big harvest! "

Wang Weiwei asked him and Xiaoya to call sister-in-law, saying that she was so kind, and they were also happy.

He saw that his sister-in-law didn't get up this morning, so he went to the river by himself early to keep watch.

The sky was slightly bright, and while there were not many people on the road, I brought the fish back.

He just knew that with his sister-in-law, there was meat to eat, and so many men in the village went to catch fish, and they couldn't catch a few in a day.

My sister-in-law just got a fish basket, did nothing all night, easily dozens of fish, this is the gap!
It seems that he must follow his sister-in-law in the future, what she said must be right!

Wang Weiwei was very pleasantly surprised when Er Gouzi said that there were forty or fifty fish.

After giving some instructions to Er Gouzi, he went back to the house to prepare.

When Wang Weiwei left the room, someone was already busy in the kitchen, and it was Xiaoya who was making breakfast.

Before the little ones got up, Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge and left home with a basket on their backs.

In the back basket is a small wooden bucket that Er Gouzi borrowed from the village head's house.

In the small wooden barrel were the fish Wang Weiwei caught in the fishing basket last night, and there were no more than forty fish in it.

There were more than a dozen fish on the other basket, but they were all dead, and the family couldn't finish them, so they sold them together in the county.

The income at home is from the last time Wang Weiwei sold aloe vera gel.

But there are few aloe vera, so we can only make one batch, and we will have to wait a long time to make aloe vera gel next time.

Their family spends food, so she has to try all kinds of ways to make money.

When they arrived at the stopping point of the ox cart at the entrance of the village, the cart was already full of people, so they were the only ones to be sent.

It was Qin Guifang's father-in-law Mao Tianming who drove the ox cart.

When Mao Tianming saw that it was Da Lang's wife, he smiled and greeted her.

Wang Weiwei also smiled politely.

Most of the people in the car were strangers, and they had nothing to say along the way.

When we arrived at the county seat, it was already daylight.

"Sister-in-law, should we send this fish directly to the restaurant, or sell it ourselves?"

Er Gouzi was very familiar with the county town. He had been running errands for Wang Weiwei before, and he wandered around the county town a lot.

Sometimes I would secretly send fish or other prey to the county from time to time to earn some rations.

Without saying a word, Wang Weiwei asked Er Gouzi to take her to the restaurant.

Er Gouzi introduced as he walked, "There are three big restaurants in the county, Jingshui Restaurant, Chunfeng Restaurant, Qingyun Restaurant, and the lady proprietress of Qingyun Restaurant is nice, and the price they give is also the highest.

How about, sister-in-law, let's go to Qingyun Hall for a try? "

"Row."

Wang Weiwei had no objection, mainly because she was not familiar with it, so she couldn't make an opinion.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Qingyun Hall.

It was still early, and although the gate of Qingyun Hall was open, there was not a single guest.

Only one waiter was cleaning the table.

Before Er Gouzi could speak, Wang Weiwei strode into the Qingyun Pavilion, and asked directly, "Little Brother, do you accept fish here?"

Xiao Er obviously knew Er Gouzi, and said with a smile, "Absolutely, you and I can go to the backyard!"

After finishing speaking, the shop waiter called out towards the back door.

After a while, a long, fat aunt came out and looked at them with a smile.

"Follow Aunt Liu!"

Wang Weiwei said with a smile, "It's troublesome."

Aunt Liu didn't speak, and walked directly to the back door with Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi.

When Aunt Liu took Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi through a gate in the backyard, she pointed to the gate and said, "If you have anything in the future, just send it to this gate.

But don't be stinky, take all the bad things and break the rules. "

Wang Weiwei smiled apologetically, "Okay, okay."

The restaurant is not big, and it is just a short walk from the lobby to the backyard.

Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi followed Aunt Liu into the backyard, and soon someone from the back kitchen came to weigh the fish.

The kitchen staff were particularly pleasantly surprised when they saw the fish brought by Wang Weiwei.

After weighing, the ten fish are all big fish weighing five or six catties, and they are all fresh.

The people in the back kitchen praised him again and again, and their attitude towards Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi improved a lot.

The people in the back kitchen gave Wang Weiwei the price of ten yuan for a live fish and five yuan for a dead fish.

After giving the money, he told Wang Weiwei that any fish would be sent to their restaurant in the future, at the same price.

Er Gouzi was very pleasantly surprised. The fish he sent before was only five cents a piece, but the one sent by his sister-in-law was ten cents.

The sister-in-law is still smart, she can catch the same fish alive, and the price is half as high.

Just now, my sister-in-law's forty fish seemed to sell for four hundred yuan, and the eighteen dead fish sold for ninety yuan.

Er Gouzi couldn't help taking a breath, and cast admiring gazes at Wang Weiwei.

Wang Weiwei didn't take it seriously, thinking that selling fish to support his family was not feasible.

Still have to think of other ways to make money.

It's not that she dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but that the Qin family's living environment, even if the house is repaired, she is very unaccustomed to it.

She kind of misses her well-furnished three-bedroom, two-living room, and her big tub and shower.

After working so hard for so long, I was transported back to before liberation.

Wang Weiwei sighed in distress, "Oh~"

After taking the money, Wang Weiwei and Er Gouzi left.

After drinking a bowl of porridge in the morning, Wang Weiwei's stomach is now empty.

Passing by a noodle stall, one person ate a bowl of noodles.

Not only that, Wang Weiwei also bought two big meat buns from the steamed stuffed bun stall next door, and his mouth was full of oil.

Er Gouzi did the math, good guy, a meal cost ten Wen.

Distressed as if bleeding.

After eating, Wang Weiwei immediately became energetic.

It's still early, and Mao Tianming's ox cart will go back in the afternoon.

Besides, she wanted to wander around the county town, maybe buy something, and Mao Tianming didn't know if it would fit in Mao Tianming's ox cart.

If she could, she would really like to buy a bullock cart, but the bullock cart seems to be quite expensive, and she can't afford it!
