Chapter 94
The family let go of the rope and walked back. The little tiger was still circling around the fish with its head raised. Chang An pointed at it and laughed.

"Xi Bao, look quickly, does the tiger want to eat fish? It doesn't even eat meat anymore."

Chang Xi picked up the shoulder pole, untied a rice field eel and threw it to it. The tiger opened its mouth and bit fiercely. The rice field eel was slippery, and the bitten half fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, it tasted it, and hummed twice inexplicably, as if it had lost interest in the fish, and didn't even eat the remaining half, and continued to turn around to eat meat.

"It doesn't eat? It doesn't like to eat?" Wen Furong was curious.

Chang Xi was thoughtful, and Chang Le hurriedly answered: "It must be that there is too little eel meat, not enough for it to fit between the teeth, and it is not satisfying to eat."

Chang Xi hesitated and said, "Isn't it good at spitting out fishbone?"

Field eels also have fishbone. She noticed just now that the tiger's face was a bit hideous when swallowing, as if there was a fishbone in its throat when it swallowed.
This time the second uncle brought a lot of fish, none of them could be the tiger's ration.

Wen Huaishu stood not far away and watched the excitement: "These fish can't be eaten up, so you just sell them."

"You don't know, last time Xibao said that we will definitely catch big fish and a lot of eels. When we first went to the cage, we really had a bumper harvest."

"And we went for several days later, no matter where the cage is placed in Dahe, we have gained something!"

"Later, when people in the village heard about it, they came to me to learn how to weave cages. Of course, I handed over everything to them without reservation. Who would have thought that the cage would catch a little, but not as much as our family."

"The extra fish was too much to eat, so I sold it to Yuanwai's family in our village. Later, other villagers followed suit, and Yuanwai's family stopped taking it."

Wen Furong didn't think too much about it, and was happy for her family.

"Oh, I can really earn some money by selling fish. I think it's good to earn more during the slack season."

"Recently, our family caught cicadas and fried them and sold them to Manxianglou. We also told the people in the same village the method. We made a lot of money together. I didn't expect that we don't live together. It's a good thing. It's pretty much the same."

The effect of these two incidents is not only that their family is rich, but at the same time it makes money, it also benefits the surrounding villagers. Everyone has money to earn, and no one will be jealous of each other.

With a slightly trembling voice, Wen Furong shared the recent events with her second brother. These happy events followed one after another, and she felt like a dream every day.

Wen Huaishu rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's really God's favor, I feel that our family's luck is getting better and better."

Chang Xi had just washed his hands and the fishy smell was no longer there. Now that he heard his second uncle say this, he covered his mouth and secretly laughed.

This box, Wen Furong, started to tidy up, and wanted to split half of the fish and rice field eels that were delivered, and take them to the town to try their luck while they were fresh.

It is midsummer now, and Chang Xi is worried that the fresh fish on the road will deteriorate due to the rising temperature.

Although she hasn't accurately recalled the process of making ice with saltpeter, she knows that adding saltpeter to water can absorb heat and make the water drop below zero, so it will definitely be no problem to preserve fish.

Let the eldest brother go with him, they ran to Aunt Chang's house to borrow a wooden ladder like a gust of wind, Chang Xi wanted to go to the house to expose the tiles, this was not because her skin was itchy and she wanted to be beaten, but she wanted to scrape the saltpetre on the tiles.

Sure enough, every piece of the tiles that no one cares about has a layer of white fluffy powder, which is saltpeter!
Carefully scrape it off, add a quarter of water to a bucket, match the saltpeter content of 1:3, find a branch and stir quickly to dissolve.

High-purity saltpeter has an obvious heat-absorbing effect, and putting freshly dead fish in it can store food to the greatest extent.

The family members were stunned by this operation. After three or two strokes, the water was as cold as winter, and everyone wanted to touch it.

Chang Le trembled from the cold water, and shouted to Chang Xi contentedly: "It's so comfortable!"

In summer, there are very few people who are not greedy for coolness. When Chang Xi operated, he did not hide everyone behind his back. Wen Huaishu had seen it during the process.

After solving the problem of keeping fish fresh, Chang Xi put on a bamboo basket and wanted to sell wild notoginseng.

As usual, Changping and Changan are going to tend the reclaimed land. Due to diligent fertilization and watering these days, some grass seeds blown by the wind have grown wildly in the field. They will weed today.

Chang Le didn't want to be alone at home, the Cao family sent people to guard the Liangtian, and he was not needed, so he pestered his mother to go into town together.

Chang Xi carried the medicine basket to the door, and the little tiger followed eagerly, but she called back: "No one is at home, you have to stay."

The little tiger shook his head reluctantly.

"Dabai is pregnant, little gray rabbit is nursing, and there are chickens and sheep at home. Do you know that your burden is heavy?"

"Our family needs you to watch the door, don't take a nap!"

"Wow!" The little tiger retreated a few steps with regret in his eyes, and Chang Xi closed the fence with his own hands.

I went out of the village with my second uncle. There were three people on their side, and they jumped into the mule cart, and Wen Huaishu struggled to pay.

Wen Furong naturally declined, and only heard him say: "Sister, our family really made a little money this time, and my younger brother has no skills. Now you pay a few cents for the fare, and you want to fight with me?"

Relying on the advantage of being a man, Wen Huaishu stretched out his arms and asked the coachman to accept his money. The coachman counted the money in front of him and found out that he was paying for the round trip.

Wen Furong wants to say that there is really no need, their family is also making money!
When the siblings gave in to each other, Wen Huaishu took the opportunity to stuff two taels of silver into the elder sister's hand, and he turned around and ran away with an empty shoulder pole.

Wen Furong was forced to smile wryly by the hard, slightly slippery piece of silver in her hand.

As the second brother, she still has a lot of tricks!
Surrounded by villagers who also came to ride mule carts, they all praised enviously after seeing the scene just now: "Your brother is so kind."

Everyone moved their buttocks, sat down inside, and continued talking.

"There are young people who can still get close to their mothers after they are married. There are daughter-in-laws who marry in the same village. Not everyone sends things to each other."

"Sanshi's daughter-in-law, you have sons and daughters, Sanshi loves you, and your mother's family supports you. You are really lucky!"

Everyone said one sentence, Wen Furong was said to be shy.

Chang Xi and Chang Le were lying beside their mother, a pair of dragon and phoenix twins carved in powder and jade, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off them.

The villagers followed and praised Xiaowa again.

When they came to the town, it was bright daylight.

The number of people in the market gradually increased. Before selling the fish, Wen Furong sent the two little ones to Sanshi for the safety of the children.

When going upstairs, she instructed: "Xibao, wait for mother for a while, and immediately accompany you to Jishitang after selling the fish. Don't act alone with the younger brother."

Of course, Chang Xi knew that there were a lot of photos outside, and that she and her younger brother were only ten years old and would easily become the targets of villains, so she agreed seriously.

The restaurant was closed during the day, usually around noon, when the workers woke up, Chang Sanshi heard the knock on the door, and came to open the door with sleepy eyes in his middle coat.
