Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 55 Shaobing
"Have you asked?"

As soon as Li Sixi boarded the boat, his wife immediately came over.

Li Sixi glared at her angrily: "No, you think Lu Quan is a fool and will tell us."

"Even if you don't say it, take a look at the bamboo tube that Can Can said."

Aunt Li didn't think there was anything wrong with her: "Last night, the third and fourth of Lu's family went to the river beach to dig wild vegetables, and they brought the bamboo tube to the river beach. Lu Quan and Xiao Si went to the river beach early this morning. Two buckets full of long fish were brought back with the bamboo tube on their backs. You said, it’s not the bamboo tube, let them catch so much?”

Speaking of two full buckets, Aunt Li's tone was filled with indescribable envy.

Her man can catch long fish, but this thing is not caught every time, it depends on luck.

The most was the first time. I caught two big long fish, which added up to more than a catty, and sold them for two renminbi.

Later, sometimes I didn't catch it, sometimes I caught one or two, two or three, it wasn't too big.

Just this has made her family's life much easier.

The Lu family caught two barrels full of long fish this time, so how much copper would it cost?

No, she must find a way, even if she steals it, she must steal a bamboo tube and come back to see how it was done.

"How can there be two buckets? I can see that there are more than half of the plate of loach in the basin of his house."

Ever since Li Sixi knew how to catch long fish, he felt that he was one of the best among these companies.

Being suppressed by Lu Quan, he couldn't swallow this breath.

"How many loaches can there be? Let me tell you, you haven't seen it..."

The couple talked about the Lu family head to head, and there was not a single family in the whole Wild Wharf that didn't talk about the Lu family.

Some are envious, some are jealous, and some are sincerely happy for their family.

……

On the way back, Lu Quan held Xiaosi in one hand and the pig's trotter in the other.

Lu Yange wrapped six sesame seed cakes in lotus leaves and held them carefully in his arms.

Originally, Lu Quan only planned to buy three pieces of sesame seed cakes, one piece for Xiaosi, one piece for Xiaoqing and Xiaoli, and one piece for Xiaoyu and Qiushi.

He is a big man, so he won't eat sesame seed cakes.

Although this thing is fragrant, it costs three pennies a piece, which is really expensive.

But what Xiao Si calculated was that he would buy six yuan, one for father, one for mother, one for eldest sister, one for second sister, one for Xiao Yu, and one for Xiao Si.

Seeing the child at his feet counting all the sesame seed cakes at home that could eat with his fingers, Lu Quan's heart felt as if it had been soaked in sweet water, and it was indescribably refreshing.

Seeing how sensible his little four is, he always thinks about his parents and sister when he eats biscuits.

This child is indeed a child of the Lu family, Bishop Lu Zhuang is so kind!
After buying sesame seed cakes, Lu Xiaosi went to buy pig's trotters again, saying that he wanted to give Xiao Wu to eat.

She also plausibly said that everyone ate sesame seed cakes, but Xiao Wu didn't eat them, so she had to buy a pig's trotter for Xiao Wu.

The fat sausages I ate before the Dragon Boat Festival, the meat I ate at the Dragon Boat Festival, I ate rice dumplings, salted duck eggs, and big bone soup. Afterwards, the Ding family sent meat, boiled half a bowl of pork fat, and made dumplings. I ate them last night. snake meat.

The whole family was happy to eat in the past few days, but Lu Quan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, both joy and fear.

Eating like this, he has never lived for decades!
It always felt like a dream, and he was really afraid that if he woke up from the dream, the whole family would go back to the days when they were lying in the cabin and waiting to die of hunger in the cold winter day.

Lu Quan was reluctant to buy pig's trotters, so he coaxed Lu Yange: "Didn't we just eat snake meat at home last night, we will buy it in a few days."

"That's different." Lu Yange reasoned with her father: "Today, if Dad buys us sesame seed cakes, if you don't buy them for Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu will be upset. Dad will buy him a pig's trotter, and Mom will eat it, and Xiao Wu will be happy." He is happy when he has milk to drink."

Fallacy.

Lu Xiaowu is only so old, he knows what to be happy and not happy.

Lu Quan felt that if he bought pig's trotters, it would probably not be Xiao Wu but Xiao Yu who would be the happiest.

But thinking of eating snake meat at home last night, Xiao Si didn't touch a bite, and he felt distressed.

Buy it and buy it, didn't you just sell the long fish, buy a pig's trotter and go back to stew soup, feed it to Qiu Shi, and also to Xiaosi.

It's not been long since the child arrived at his house, and he's lost a lot of weight.

He was the one who was sorry for Master Lu, and he didn't even take good care of Lu's only child left behind.

"Father, you haven't said how much you sold the long fish yet."

On the way to buy pig's knuckles at Ding's house, Lu Quan led Lu Yange to Fushun, and Lu Yange remembered this crucial question.

"Shopkeeper Li said that this long fish is rare. The store has always collected 25 Wen a catty, a total of 26 catties and nine taels. Shopkeeper Li said it was 2080 catties, and sold a total of [-] Wen."

It's more than two taels of silver. When Lu Quan got it, his hands were shaking.

Lu Yange couldn't believe it: "Father, didn't you say that Uncle Li sold two long fish to Lai Fushun for two renminbi? The long fish we caught today must have been around thirty, why is it so small. "

"Listen to your Aunt Li's nonsense, how can you sell as much as two renminbi by selling long fish alone? Isn't it a rare treasure?"

Seeing Lu Yange looking up at him curiously, Lu Quan smiled and patted his little head: "The two long fish you Uncle Li caught are not small, and they weighed more than two catties, so they should be sold logically." It was more than 80. It was also a coincidence that a merchant who came to Yangzhou was in the shop that day, and he decided to order this long fish and gave Uncle Li a silver dime directly. It is said that a silver dime is worth as much as two renminbi."

"Oh."

It turns out that this is the reason why two long fish sell for two renminbi.

Lu Yangge lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, and Lu Quan didn't care.

Seeing Lai Fushun right in front of him, Lu Quan couldn't help sighing: "If we can catch so many long fish every day, I don't know if we can still sell them for such a high price."

The price of long fish in Lai Fushun is expensive because long fish are rare.

But if you can get ten to twenty catties of long fish every day, you are afraid that the long fish will not be able to sell at a price.

Lu Yange was a little confused: "Isn't Lai Fushun famous for its long fish noodles? They must need long fish?"

"needs."

Lu Quan smiled: "But you, Uncle Li, are not the only ones who can catch long fish in Jiangjiaba. If you are lucky enough to catch fish, you can also catch them. Only Lai Fushun catches long fish in Jiangjiaba. Other restaurants don’t want it. Although Lai Fushun’s long fish noodles are very famous, not everyone can afford them. When merchants come, they always order other dishes when they order long fish noodles, such as fish and shrimp. You can’t eat all the long fish. Only make noodles, and the amount of long fish is still limited.”

Lu Yange was thoughtful: "It's not impossible to use long fish for cooking."

"what?"

Lu Quan didn't hear clearly, lowered his body, approached Lu Yange and asked another question.

"I said, Lai Fushun can make a long fish feast, such as soy tiger tail, dragon and tiger fighting, soft long fish, eel paste in oil, fried eel tube, fried butterfly slices, roasted saddle bridge, fried shredded eel... As long as the reputation of Lai Fushun's long fish feast is spread, the merchants who pass by Jiangjiaba must be very curious when they hear that Lai Fushun has a long fish feast. Come and taste it, then the long fish that his family needs Not too many."

Lu Xingge added in his heart, in this way, our family's long fish can be sold at a high price.

No matter how much you catch, you don't have to worry about selling it.
