Doomsday wearing female honor: I rely on space to farm and raise my husband

Chapter 52 Buying Fish
Because she and Zhang Zelin were both in poor health, the two of them had a good rest at home for a few days before they ended their life of confinement.

This afternoon, Fang Qing saw that he had nothing to do, so he talked to Fu Lang, and then got on his horse and went to the city to buy fish.

Zhang Zelin shook his head and said to himself when he watched his wife go out on horseback: "Fortunately, they drove a carriage to the city this morning. Zhou Yuan only drove two cows to graze, otherwise the wife had to walk."

Fang Qing rode a horse to the fish stall in the city and asked, "Boss, how do you sell your fish?"

"Miss, the bigger fish costs fifteen cents, and the smaller fish costs ten cents. Miss, you want the bigger fish or the smaller fish."

Fang Qing looked at the fish in the water, the bigger ones were two to three catties, and the smaller ones were about one to two catties.

"Boss, pick me two smaller ones." Fang Qing originally wanted to buy a few more, but thought there was no place to put them at home, so he decided to buy two first and go back and eat them before buying again.

The fish seller heard that Fang Qing bought two fish, so he tied two of them with straw ropes and handed them to her.

Fang Qing, who was watching the fishmonger tying the fish, was thoughtful, and when the boss handed her the fish, she asked, "Boss, where did you get the fish from?"

Seeing that Fang Qing bought fish with her, the fishmonger asked her where the fish came from, smiled and said, "Miss, we went out to catch this fish ourselves."

"Oh! Is there a sea near here?"

"Yes! I caught these fish from the sea, otherwise where did they come from?"

Fang Qing felt that what the boss said was right, if there was no sea, where would these fish come from? She thought of her rice, and she wanted to raise fish?
"Boss, do you know where fish fry are sold?"

"Miss, we don't sell fish fry in Fucheng." The fish seller said a little unhappy seeing Fang Qing's endless questions.

Seeing that the boss was unhappy, Fang Qing stopped asking her. She brought up the fish in her hand and was going home. The fish seller said that there were no fry for sale, so where should she get the fry for her rice flower fish.

"Miss, miss, wait."

Fang Qing got on her horse and was about to leave, when she heard a fishmonger calling her, she stopped her horse and asked, "Sister, are you calling me?"

Wang Xi was selling fish at the stall, she heard the conversation at the stall next door, and she stopped the woman when she was about to leave.

"Miss, do you want fry?"

Fang Qing heard her talking about fish fry, and asked her with great interest. "The eldest sister said just now that there are no fish fry in Fucheng, do you have any?"

"Yes, miss, I'll get you as much as you want."

"I want [-] fish, can you get them out?" Fang Qing counted the three acres of paddy fields at home, and [-] fish fry are almost enough for her.

When Wang Xi heard that the other party wanted two thousand fish fry, she looked at Fang Qing in disbelief. She thought that this man only bought a few for fun, but she didn't expect the other party to buy so much. She shook her head and said, "Yes, miss, when do you need it?" , give me some time so I can fish for you."

"How do you calculate the price?" When Fang Qing saw the person who asked her when she would get the fry, she thought that she should lower the price first, and then talk about when the fry would be delivered.

Wang Xi patted his head honestly when he heard Fang Qing talk about the price. "Miss, how about a penny and a fish?"

Fang Qing looked at the fish in his hand after she quoted the price, and felt that the price was not expensive, but the premise was that the fish fry the other party gave her should not be too small, otherwise the fish would not survive.

"It's okay for this eldest sister to pay for a penny. The key is that the fry I need should not be too small, at least the adult fish must be able to feed them."

Wang Xi laughed loudly and said: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely not fool you with small fish fry." After saying this, Wang Xi asked: "Miss, I don't know where you live, how can I find you?"

"I live in Zhangjiacun. My surname is Fang and my name is Qing. You can come to Zhangjiacun if you want me." Fang Qing told the other party her name and gave him one tael of silver as a deposit.

Wang Xi took the deposit from Fang Qing and said with a smile: "Miss, my name is Wang Xi, and I live in Wangjia Village. Someday, when Miss comes to pull fish fry, let someone come and tell me, and I will bring it to you."

"I don't need you to send it to me. I'll send someone to pick it up at your home in a few days."

After Fang Qing and Wang Xi exchanged addresses, they rode back quickly with the fish in their hands. After she passed by, Wang Xi was trembling with the money in his hand, yes he was trembling.

Wang Xi heard the conversation at the stall next door. She remembered that there was no food at home. Thinking of the old man, husband and children at home, she asked the other party how many fish fry she needed with a shy face. She didn't expect the other party to buy so much. , After she left, I felt like I was still in a dream.

Wang Xi felt like he was dreaming, but the stall next door was stupid. Fang Qing was stupid when he asked for two thousand fry. She thought the other party would ask casually, so she answered impatiently. her business.

Zhang Zelin was waiting at home for his wife to come back. He went to the room to dig out the cloth, and he was going to make some clothes for the children.

When Fang Qing came home, he saw the man sitting in the yard, sewing clothes seriously, and she didn't even notice when she came back.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Seeing that Fulang couldn't see her coming back, Fang Qing put the fish in the kitchen and sat down beside Fulang and asked.

"Ah! Mistress, you are back, when did you come back?" Zhang Zelin was thinking about how to sew clothes for the child in his belly, as soon as he thought of a white, fat, soft and waxy child wearing the clothes he sewed, He was fascinated when he was thinking, and suddenly he heard the voice of his wife.

"I just came back. I saw you were sewing, so I came over to have a look."

Zhang Zelin heard his wife talking about the clothes, and remembered the fabric he was holding in his hand. He raised his hand and asked, "My wife, what do you think of this dress?"

Fang Qing saw that he raised his eyebrows with a piece of cloth in his hand, is this piece of cloth clothes?Why is this cloth so small.

"Brother Lin, do you want to embroider a handkerchief?"

"My wife, this is not a handkerchief, but the cloth I am going to sew for my children."

Fang Qing "..." Alright!She didn't expect that this dress was made for children, she thought it was an embroidered handkerchief!

Fang Qing felt that she had said the wrong thing, and awkwardly took the cloth that Fu Lang handed her. She looked at the cloth, which was bigger than her palm, and wondered if it might be too small.

"Brother Lin, will your piece of cloth be too small for sewing clothes for children?"

Zhang Zelin took the cloth, looked at the small cloth carefully and said, "This cloth is not small, but children's clothes are not like us adults. When children's clothes are stitched at the corners, you can't sew the thread inside."

Hearing what Fu Lang said, Fang Qing asked curiously: "Brother Lin, how do you know this?"

"Of course I know! I was 12 years old when my dad gave birth to my sister, and I even sewed my sister's clothes for my dad!"

Fang Qing knew that her sister-in-law was an old woman, but she never thought that her husband would sew clothes for her.

"Brother Lin, you can sew these clothes for her casually. I will go to the city in a few days and buy you some good fabrics to make underwear for you."

"My wife, when you go shopping, you can't buy cotton cloth like this. You need to buy fine cotton cloth. Clothes made of that kind of cloth are comfortable for children to wear."

"Okay, I'll go and see it in two days. You sew here first, and I'll go to the kitchen to make soup."
