Chapter 8 Pricing
Meng Qingning didn't hide it and responded with a smile, "Let's go catch fish in the river."

The ridiculous thing that happened to the Lu family yesterday had spread throughout the village. When they passed by, there were always people pointing fingers behind their backs.

Those who understand reason think that this is just a matter of bullying by the eldest and third wards, but there are many disputes in front of the widow, not to mention that Meng Qingning, who is somewhat pretty, is just a young widow in her prime.

They don't care about the truth.

Anyway, it’s fun to read about other people’s affairs.

Meng Qingning didn't care, her mouth was on others, and she couldn't stop what she wanted to say.

It made Lu Qinan very angry.

"Sister-in-law, why aren't you angry at all?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Meng Qingning said nonchalantly.

The best way to resolve the rumor was to let it fall apart. She needed a chance now.

When she arrived at the river, Meng Qingning realized that she was not even as good as a six-year-old child. Lu Qiyu was quick and accurate in catching fish.

Although this kid usually talks very little, he is very reliable in doing these things.

Fortunately, she brought a backpack when she came, made a simple trap, and placed it in a place with a small flow of water.

"Is this okay?" Lu Qinan asked doubtfully,
"It might work?"

Meng Qingning is not confident either. After all, she lives inland, and due to environmental pollution, there are few small fish and shrimps in the river, and she is not very good at catching fish.

Lu Qinan and Lu Qiyu quickly grabbed a basketful.

Meng Qingning's trap was clean.

She decided to stay here today and let Lu Qinan and the others go back first with the fish they caught.

Because it was too hot, she lay down directly in the woods.

Just when she was leisurely, she suddenly heard someone walking towards her.

"Are you sure that Nizi is here?" It was a man's voice that spoke.

Meng Qingning felt a little strange.

Then another voice came over, "I have been being watched. The two younger ones have gone back long ago, and now she is alone."

This is…

She always felt that this voice was familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Are they looking for themselves?

Fortunately, her location was relatively hidden and no one else could find her for a while. She held her breath and planned to take a good look.

However, it was blocked by a tree, so I could only see his back.

"If we do this in broad daylight, no one will notice us, right?"

The man seemed afraid.

But the girl was so angry that she acted without caring.

"What are you afraid of? She, Meng Qingning, is a young widow from outside and has a bad reputation. Even if she is discovered, everyone will only think that she is seducing you and will not suspect you."

Seeing that the man was still hesitant, she continued impatiently, "I'm still here."

The man made up his mind upon hearing this.

"Okay, let's find her first."

"Sister-in-law..." As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qinan's anxious voice came from below.

It turned out that the two of them couldn't find Meng Qingning when they came back, so they started searching everywhere.

Hearing the noise, the two people walked away in a hurry. Meng Qingning wanted to go out to see who it was, but saw nothing.

Lu Qinan also came over.

"Did you see two people?" she asked.

The two shook their heads.

Meng Qingning frowned slightly, who wanted to plot against her?

Except for the people in her old house, she couldn't remember anyone she had offended, but that girl was full of resentment towards herself. "What's wrong?" Lu Qinan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her frowning.

Meng Qingning didn't want them to worry, so she shook her head and said, "Nothing, just go back."

She didn't worry too much about the things she couldn't figure out. When it was almost done, she went to put the backpack away. She tried it and found that it was still a little heavy, so she quickly picked it up.

Although it's not full, there's quite a lot of stuff.

All three of them were happy.

In addition to fish, there are also a few river shrimps.

It would have been better if it was a river crab, but she was not disappointed either.

I saw shrimps when I was catching fish today. I wanted Lu Qiyu to catch more, but the shrimps were too small and difficult to catch.

Unexpectedly, this trap worked.

They quickly threw out the stones and returned home with the fish and shrimps.

When I got home, I discovered that the fish pond in the yard had been dug long ago and the fish had been raised in it.

Lu Zhengting can also be regarded as a craftsman, and every house in the village cannot do without him.

The fish pond he dug was square and square, with no water seepage at all.

I picked a few that I would use tonight and raised the rest in the fish pond.

Tomorrow happens to be the day of the market, and Wang has prepared the things they need.

Meng Qingning simply steamed a fish, steamed all the shrimps she caught together, and made a fish ball soup with the remaining fish balls.

The whole family had a delicious meal.

"This shrimp is so delicious." Lu Qinan praised.

Meng Qingning was also very happy to eat seafood instead of wild vegetable dumplings for the first time in a long time.

Lu Qiyu's stomach was bulging after eating, "Sister-in-law, I will learn how to make a trap like you tomorrow and catch more shrimps."

Meng Qingning poured all the shrimps in her bowl into Lu Qiyu's bowl.

"Okay, then you should eat more, grow stronger, and support our whole family in the future."

Lu Qiyu nodded heavily and vowed secretly in his heart that he must let his family live a good life.

After eating, Meng Qingning plans to make all the fish balls for setting up the stall tomorrow, and then pick and wash the leaves that will be used to pack the fish balls tomorrow.

With Wang's help, she quickly made two large basins of fish balls.

When making it, I also added two eggs as a luxury.

The resulting fish balls are fragrant and chewy.

Lu Qiyu couldn't help but eat a few more.

"Sister-in-law, we here have never seen fish balls. What should we do if we can't eat them after buying them?"

Meng Ning has already thought about this clearly.

"We set up a stall at the beginning to sell fish ball soup. If customers want to buy fish balls after eating them, we will sell them to them individually and teach them how to make them. In the future, our fish balls will become famous. Customers will cook it after buying it, so we will sell the fish balls separately."

Wang also thinks it is feasible.

"Then how much should we sell it for?"

This Meng Ning is really undecided. After all, she doesn't know much about ancient money. The original owner is just a farm girl and rarely goes shopping outside.

"The fish ball soup is sold by the bowl, and the fish balls are sold by the two. As for the price, you and dad have to decide."

"A bowl of Yangchun noodles costs four cents. Our fish balls are made from simple ingredients, so why not sell them for three cents cheaper than Yangchun noodles?" After Lu Zhengting finished speaking, he looked at the others anxiously.

He thinks the price is already high.

Meng Ning thought for a moment and added one or two for each bowl. In this way, one kilogram would be thirty kilograms. They made about ten kilograms tonight and could sell three hundred kilograms.

Sure enough, making money is not easy.

She sighed deeply. Wang thought she thought it was too expensive, and asked, "Is it more expensive?"
