Chapter 101

Inside the room.

Fat Miaoer and Li Xiaodao looked at each other.

While eating, they pricked up their ears, listening to the conversation between Chen Dali and Zhou Laosan.

"Third brother, I know a little bit about the yamen. The Hebo Office is busy, and the ambassador has to take charge of the fish tax. It's not the third brother who has the final say on the wharf."

"If the third brother is really worried, please ask the third brother to say a few words of kindness to the younger brother in front of the ambassador. Whether it will work or not depends on the ambassador's words."

"Third brother, do you think this will work?" Chen Dali began to give Zhou Laosan a trick.

He hangs out at the pier all year round, has met all kinds of people, and can tell at a glance that Zhou Laosan is an honest and responsible master, without so many twists and turns in his stomach.

He could only vaguely point out: "Third Brother is the upstart of the Hebo Institute. I believe the ambassador will give you this little matter of integrating the coolies."

As Chen Dali said, he took out ten taels of silver, stuffed it into Zhou Laosan's hand, and said meaningfully: "The first year's money will be given to the younger brother first, and the third brother will keep it in his hand for emergency. When you first arrived in Hebo Therefore, always express it to the above.”

Chen Dali winked, his words were very straightforward, almost clear, but Zhou Laosan was still at a loss.

"No, no, I can't accept this money."

Zhou Laosan hurriedly pushed away, as if the silver was like a scourge, avoiding it.

According to his thinking, this is impossible, and of course he will not accept Chen Dali's money.

"Third brother..."

Chen Dali repeatedly tried to persuade him to no avail, so he could only sigh, with a look of disappointment on his face.

After dinner.

Chen Dali, Zhou Laosan, Li Xiaodao, and Fat Miao'er left the Xilai Building one after the other.

"Third brother, if you change your mind, write to me anytime."

At the entrance of the restaurant, Chen Dali bowed his hands to Zhou Laosan, bid farewell and left.

Zhou Laosan also returned to Dashi Village with Fat Miaoer and Li Xiaodao.

on the trail.

Zhou Laosan walked dully, thinking about Chen Dali's words.

Li Xiaodao glanced at it, and leaned over, walking side by side with Zhou Laosan.

"Third Uncle, I think you might as well try what Chen Dali said..."

"Ah?" Zhou Laosan raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Li Xiaodao in shock.

"Xiaodao, why do you think so?"

Li Xiaodao shook his head silently, feeling helpless, his father, Fat Miao'er, was less understanding of the world than him.

In line with his own principles, he had no choice but to break it up and give it to Zhou Laosan for analysis.

"Third Uncle, do you know why Chen Dali gave you ten taels of silver?"

"Didn't he tell me to respond in an emergency, to express to the superiors..."

Zhou Laosan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally realized something.

Li Xiaodao reminded: "Third uncle, the second half of his sentence is the key point. To put it bluntly, Chen Dali gave you the ten taels of silver just to let you dredge your joints."

"That's right!"

Fat Miao'er walked to the other side of Zhou Laosan, turned her little hand behind her back, and said seriously like a little adult: "The coolies on the pier are like a piece of cake. Chen Dali ate a piece and shared a piece with Dad. Part of the small piece is being distributed, and the benefits are equally shared, and everyone has benefited, so naturally there will be no objections."

"Father can also quickly integrate into the Hebo Institute through this incident."

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhou Laosan has just arrived. Although he is escorted by the county magistrate, he is still working under the command of Ambassador He Bo. It is very important to have a good relationship with his boss.

As soon as Fat Miao'er finished speaking, Li Xiaodao answered again.

"Third Uncle, I don't understand the big truth, but I have heard a saying that the new official takes office three fires."

"Third Uncle first arrived at the pier, he had to light a fire, kill chickens and monkeys, in order to establish his prestige, the coolie head is the best target."

Li Xiaodao talked eloquently.

During these days, with the money they earned, the food they cooked was full of oil and water, and they were full. Under such circumstances, the sharp knife grew longer and more shapely, and its size also changed accordingly.

Broad shoulders, long legs, straight body, majestic and stern, with a whole body of responsibility and responsibility, gradually took on the appearance of a pillar.

"I'll think about it again."

Zhou Laosan was a little shaken by what he said.

"I'll discuss it with your grandpa and grandma after I get home."

It was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, he was inexperienced, and after all, he was timid and vacillating.

Li Xiaodao and Fat Miao'er were not trying to persuade them either.

The three walked silently, and when they reached the door, they waved goodbye.

Fat Miao'er plunged into the Westinghouse, eager to see the changes in her captive frogs.

"what!"

A scream resounded throughout the courtyard.

Fat Miao'er stood in front of the bucket, excitedly watching the small yellow particles in the water, and dancing excitedly.

"Ovulation, ovulation, frog ovulation!"

Fat Miao'er happily clenched Xiaopang's hand and jumped up and down in the room.

"Crack!" Liu Ye'er pushed the door open and walked in.

"What's wrong with Fat Meow, what are you shouting for?"

"sister!"

Fat Miao'er rushed over, leaned against Liu Ye'er's arms, raised her head, said with a pair of big black eyes, "Our frog has ovulated."

According to the records of Baidu Encyclopedia, ovulation is the beginning of success. After five to seven days, those yellow eggs will turn into little tadpoles, which will grow up slowly and become frogs.

As long as this cycle continues, they will have countless supply of frogs no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter.

"Really?"

Liu Ye'er's eyes lit up, she didn't expect much, but she was pleasantly surprised.

"of course it's true!"

Fat Miao'er took her hand, walked to the bucket, pointed to the water and said, "Sister, have you seen these small yellow particles are eggs laid by frogs?"

Immediately afterwards, Fat Miao'er told the frog's growth process again, and Liu Ye'er listened with gusto.

"I have to buy a few more buckets and raise them separately, so that the frogs can't eat the eggs." Fat Miao'er's eyes lit up.

Where are the eggs, it's all small money.

"I'm afraid the bucket won't fit." Liu Ye'er smiled wryly.

The five wooden barrels that Fat Miao'er bought were very large, and placed side by side, they already occupied most of the floor of the house, and there would be no place for people to stay if they were placed again.

"It's ok!"

Fat Miao'er waved his hand, didn't care, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "We can zoom into brother's room!"

"That's right, I'll go talk to my brother right now."

Liu Ye'er ran out and called Li Xiaodao, the three of them agreed to buy five more large buckets, and after the frogs laid eggs, they would be moved to new buckets.

Not long after, Li Xiaodao and Luo Pan drove the donkey cart back home.

These days the number of frogs is decreasing day by day, and only one bucket can be made every day. There are sixty or seventy spoonfuls, and it will be sold out in a short time after being taken to the town.

Inside the hall.

Compass sat down on the chair.

Picking up the water glass, "gudong gudong" took two sips of water, put it down, and reached for the cuff.

He took out his old purse, poured out all the money he earned today, and handed it to Fat Miaoer.

At the same time, he asked, "Quickly do the math, how much silver do we have in our hands?"
