Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 155 Catching Fish
"Is it really a red fish weighing more than four catties?"

Li Sixi couldn't help but click his tongue. The average red carp only weighs one or two catties, so these red carps weighing more than four catties are not cheap.

"Yeah." Lu Quan hollered and planed the two rice in the bowl, "One piece is more than four catties and six taels, and one piece is four catties and two taels, I reckon it should be one male and one female.

"Hey, brother Lu Quan, you are so lucky. Can't you sell it for fifty cents a piece?" Ma Laoer's eyes turned red with envy.

"Almost." Lu Quan swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied vaguely, not intending to tell the truth.

The price of the two red carp he caught was quite high, a tael of silver.

Lu Quan and Xiao Si met Ding Wu on the pier. Ding Wu heard that he had caught two red carps, so he told him to introduce him to the new uncle of the Li family in Jiangjiaba Town.

The Li family is a big family in Jiangjiaba, and the new uncle of the Li family is the young owner of a grocery store in Nanyang County.The latter one is Mrs. Li's [-]th birthday. Mrs. Li's grandson-in-law wants to buy two red carps to please the Mrs. Li. When he marries a new wife next month, maybe the Li family can give him more dowry.

Uncle Li Jiaxin searched for the red carp for seven or eight days, Nanyang and Jiangjiaba both ran away but failed to buy the red carp.Just speak in Jiangjiaba, whoever catches red carp for him will pay one hundred yuan for each.

When Ding Wu heard that Lu Quan had caught two red carp weighing more than four catties, his eyes were filled with smiles, and he called me Uncle Lu for his luck, what a coincidence!
It was Lu Yange who went to sell the red carp with Ding Wu, and the two younger brothers didn't know how to fool them. When they came back, Lu Quan had a tael of silver in his arms.

The big guy heard that the red carp can really be sold for fifty cents a piece, and he can't wait to leave now.

Zhang San couldn't wait even more: "Brother Lu Quan, if you are tired, can you ask my eldest son to set up a boat for you? Let's go now, and we can make it back before dark."

"Yes, yes, yes... We can go to three boats, and we don't need to go on all the boats. When the time comes, we will take turns to row the boats, and Brother Lu will rest."

"Then let's go now, maybe we guys are lucky, and we can catch two red carps per person there. At that time, I must send them to Nanyang County to sell, maybe I can sell more than ten or twenty A copper coin."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lu Quan couldn't say no.

I can only tell everyone to go back to get the net and prepare things. He still has some things to do, and he will go there after explaining.

He still had a lot of things he didn't say to Qiu Shi, and the spiritual card of Lu Yange in his arms also made him sleepless and restless.

After the big guys came out of the Lu family's yard, Lu Quan dragged Qiu Shi into the room. He first took out Lu Yange's spiritual card: "Mother Xiaoqing, what do you think about this thing?"

The black spiritual tablet was engraved with large golden characters.

Qiu Shi didn't understand it for a while, and was stunned.

She is illiterate, but during this period of time, Lu Yange and Xiaoqing scratched the ground with branches, saying that it was to teach them how to read. Qiu looked at it a few times, and did not learn anything else. Let's see.

She knows the word Lu, but she doesn't know the word Yange.

"Whose spirit card is this?" Qiu looked out of the window and asked in a low voice, "Is it Xiaosi's father?"

The only person Qiu could think of was Lu Yuanshan who could bring Lu Quan back with the spirit card.

"No, it belongs to Xiaosi."

"what?"

Looking at the name on it, Qiu's voice was lost for a moment.

Perhaps thinking of some taboo, Qiu raised his hand to knock down the spirit card without hesitation, and asked sharply, "Where did you get this?"

Lu Quan's face was also very gloomy: "It's in Lu's ancestral hall, and it's placed under Brother Yuanshan's tablet, together with her two older brothers."

What he didn't expect was that in order to curry favor with the Chen family, even the pre-adult female doll, Yan Ge, had engraved a spirit tablet.

You have to know which family you are in, and there is no reason to engrave a spirit card for a female doll, let alone Yan Ge is still a child.

"This... this thing can't be kept." Qiu Shi panicked and picked up the spirit card and stuffed it into Lu Quan's arms, "Hurry up, burn it soon, oops...how did you bring it back?"

The voice behind was already a little sharp, and there was unavoidable complaint in his tone.

Holding the spirit tablet, Lu Quan was a little at a loss, and even lowered his voice a lot: "I originally wanted to chop this thing up and burn it, but on the way I wondered whether I should find a Taoist priest to give it to me, or find a temple to give it to me." miss?"

When Lu Quan said this, Qiu Shi was also at a loss.

She didn't understand either, and felt that it was an unlucky thing for a spirit card to be made before the person died.

Xiaosi is still so young, what if it hinders the child's life expectancy?

"You can't let Xiao Si know about this. This child is smart. If she sees this thing, she doesn't know what she thinks. I will ask Li Banxian on the street later. We don't understand, so we can't fool around. Don't go to It’s not good to get in the way of the child.”

"I listen to you."

Lu Quan is naturally what Qiu said and what he did.

The couple agreed, but it's not good to keep the door closed and talk in the room.

Not to mention that the child is older, but there are still two families living in the yard, so it's always a bit wrong to run into each other.

As soon as they opened the door, Zhang Fugui, the eldest son of Zhang San's family, opened the door and ran in: "Uncle Lu, the big guys are here, my father and the others are waiting on the boat?"

Lu Quan panicked and stuffed the spirit tablet in his arms to Qiu Shi, and raised his voice to answer in the yard: "Hey, come here."

He didn't need to clean up either. His family's boat had just come back, and the nets and buckets were all on board, but they hadn't been brought back yet.

As soon as Lu Quan left, Qiu hurriedly found a piece of red cloth, wrapped the spirit tablet in his arms, and walked around the room, trying to find a place to hide it.

Certainly not on the bed, let alone on the table, in the box?
Qiu walked to the side of the box and stopped again. It couldn't be put in the box either. Xiaoli is following her elder sister to be a female celebrity, and often goes to her box to rummage through rags. If Xiaoli sees it, everyone will be killed. I won't hide it.

After walking around for a long time, she always felt that everything was not good, so Qiu ran to the kitchen with the spirit card.

There is the Stove Lord in the kitchen. Put this spirit card in the kitchen, and the Stove Lord will hold it down. It is estimated that it will be fine for the time being.

Seeing her mother enter the kitchen, Xiaoqing couldn't help asking: "Mother, what's the matter, do you want to boil water? Didn't my father go out?"

"I'm looking for something, don't worry about it."

As Qiu said, while paying attention to the movement outside the door, he stuffed the spirit tablet wrapped in red cloth under the broken grass in the kitchen.

Afraid that Xiaoqing and the others would set fire to her and turn her out, she purposely stuffed it into a corner, hugged another bundle of firewood, and put two arms of kindling on it to feel at ease.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaoli ran in recklessly, "Brother Fugui said that Dad asked you to go to the town together, and asked you to buy something."

"Know it."

Qiu guessed that Lu Quan asked her to ask Li Banxian, so she hurriedly took off the hoodie and dusted off the dust, then brushed her hair, followed Zhang Fugui to the pier with her purse.

Not paying attention at all, Lu Xiaoli stomped on his feet after she left, and sneaked into the kitchen to search.
