fisherwoman

The next day, the Wang family made another pot of tofu to propose marriage, and Yang Shi and Xiao Jingzhi naturally readily agreed.

Last night, the Tofu family came to discuss this matter, otherwise, she would not be in a hurry to propose marriage so soon, she is also afraid of long nights and dreams.

The wedding is scheduled for two months.

This made Xiao Yun feel very depressed. After all, she agreed to this marriage with her own mouth. Even though she was still a little reluctant in her heart, the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker could not change this matter.

Farewell, Master Xu!

From now on, I will not be able to miss you on the road you walked, nor will I be able to linger in the scenery you have seen. I am going to get married!

Xiao Yun was lying on the bed, looking at the roof covered with reed grass, her eyes blurred, she sat up, thought for a while, found her favorite clothes from the cabinet, put them on, and washed them carefully, with still hair on her temples. Pinning on her favorite string of silk flowers, she decided to go around the town, maybe she would meet Xu Yuanqi.

Not for anything else, just to see him, just to take a look at him quietly, this, isn't it too much?

She thought of Wang Dahai again.

After tidying up, she walked into the new house, and she wanted Lin Xueman to accompany her.

Xiao Chengyu went to the Yamen as usual after breakfast.

Lin Xueman cleaned up at home, then threaded the fish one by one, and hung them to dry in the yard.

In summer, the sun is good, and those small fish are dried in a day.

Although there are not many small yellow croakers in the sea recently, there are always some. There are still a few women in the village drying her at home.It is still sent to her home when it is full of fifty catties.

Because this month, the price of small yellow croakers is two Wen per catty.

"Go to the town? Okay! I'll accompany you and send some seaweed to Deshun Tower by the way!" Lin Xueman heard that the sister-in-law was going to go to the town, so she readily agreed, turned around and took some seaweed, put it in a basket, and prepared to give it to the town. Send it to Deshun Building.

People here are not interested in seaweed, and other restaurants also cook it, and there are many talented people.When they went to Deshun Tower to see the bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, they knew how it was made!

Recently, this soup has been served in many restaurants.

However, it is too hot recently, and the seaweed soup in Deshunlou is not selling fast!

Lin Xueman decided to stop by another restaurant to see if they could sell the seaweed in his hand!

Seeing so many seaweeds piled up at home, she was a little anxious.In the first half of the year, when the weather gets colder, new seaweeds can be picked, and her seaweeds will become old goods!

Along the way, Xiao Yun looked preoccupied.

Lin Xueman knew what she was thinking, so she whispered: "Why don't we go to the yamen and have a look. By the way, go and see your third brother and Mr. Xu?"

Being guessed right, Xiao Yun smiled knowingly.I blushed a bit.

When the aunt and sister-in-law walked to the county government office, they saw Zhao Ziliang's carriage parked at the door. It seemed that they had just arrived, but someone on one side was stepping forward to drive the carriage aside.

"Sister-in-law three, let's not go in yet, Zhao Ziliang is inside!" Xiao Yun looked angry, this person was too arrogant.Knowing that their family members disagreed, they still came to propose marriage without hesitation.what!

"Okay, let's come back another day, you'd better accompany me to Deshun Tower to deliver laver!" Naturally, Lin Xueman didn't want to meet that playboy Zhao Ziliang.

The two turned around and went to Deshun Building.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he unexpectedly found that his neighbor Ma Xingzhi was sitting in the hall, drinking tea leisurely. Seeing the two of them coming in, he smiled at Lin Xueman: "Miss Xiao, don't come here!"

"Old man, long time no see!" Lin Xue calmly stepped forward to say hello.

"Miss Xiao!" Shunzi greeted her with a smile all over her face.

"Shunzi, take these seaweeds to the back kitchen!" Lin Xueman took out the seaweeds in the basket and handed them to him.

"Okay! Madam Xiao can sit wherever she wants!" Shunzi took the laver to the back kitchen.

"Ms. Xiao came to Deshun Tower to deliver laver?" Ma Xingzhi smiled at the two sisters-in-law.

"En." Lin Xueman replied, she remembered the seaweed and egg drop soup on the menu of Juxianlou, and couldn't help frowning.

"Today is really a coincidence. I just arrived in Longtan Town. I wanted to rest my feet, so I went to the village to look for Mrs. Xiao, but I didn't want to meet here. This time, I came back for laver." Ma Xingzhi smiled kindly. Smiling, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Miss Xiao, sit down and say, I invite you to drink tea, and I also invite Miss Xiao and Miss Xiao to show respect."

Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun looked at each other.

The two sat down generously.

"Miss Xiao, I know, there is a little misunderstanding between us, but today we don't talk about these things, we only talk about seaweed." He smiled kindly and waved to Shunzi.

Shunzi ran over in response, took two teacups, put them in front of the two of them, poured out the tea, and then retreated respectfully.

"The old man was joking, there is no misunderstanding between us, because I have forgotten everything about the past." Lin Xueman looked at the heavy tea leaves in the tea bowl in front of her, and smiled faintly, "It is true, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, Don't care about the frost on others."

Xiao Yun sat there, confused.

"Okay, sure enough, I'm insightful. I'm willing to associate with someone like Lady Xiao. Although she's a woman, her vision and heart are not inferior to men's." Ma Xingzhi said with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Then I'll just Having said that, the seaweed in Juxian Building is very popular, and there is no such seaweed on Qianjiao Island, so I had no choice but to look for Mrs. Xiao, I know that Mrs. Xiao has a lot of seaweed stored in her home!"

"There is no seaweed on Qianjiao Island?" Lin Xueman was very surprised. She has never been to the east of Qianjiao Island, but she knows that there are many reefs there. Since it is the same seaside, where there are reefs, there must be seaweed, right? "

She always thought that Thousand Reefs also had a lot of seaweed!

"Yes, there are a few, and it's very rare, and the wind and waves are rough there, so it's very unpleasant, so I thought of coming to find Mrs. Xiao." Ma Xingzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Also, I visited several restaurants, and saw that there was this dish of seaweed egg drop soup in those restaurants, so I understood that Lady Xiao must have come to the restaurant to sell seaweed."

"Yes, I wonder what price the old man is willing to pay for my laver?" Lin Xueman naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity, no matter who she sold it to, as long as she could sell it.

"What is the price per catty that Mrs. Xiao intends? Tell me!" Ma Xingzhi looked at her meaningfully.

"Old man, I don't sell those seaweeds by the catty. If you want to sell them, you have to sell them by two, because dried seaweed is too light!" Lin Xueman held his forehead in thought, and smiled at him.

"Is there a difference between Lun Jin and Lun Liang?" Ma Xingzhi looked puzzled. Why is Miss Xiao thinking so strangely?

Xiao Yun who was sitting on the side was also puzzled.

"Of course there is a difference!" Lin Xue replied calmly, she raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "The selling price of seaweed egg flower soup here is ten cents a bowl, and one or two dried seaweeds can be made for about five yuan." A bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, tell me, how can I sell it by the catty?"

"I see. Miss Xiao means that the market price of seaweed egg drop soup is used to determine the price of your dried seaweed?"

"Not bad!" Lin Xueman responded unhurriedly.

"Then what is the price Mrs. Xiao gave Deshun Building?"

"The seaweed currently used in Deshun Building is all given away by me, because in Longtan Town, it is actually worthless!" Lin Xueman thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Because I took the share of seaweed egg flower soup. , Calculated, the price is higher than selling dried seaweed!"

"Well, rarity is the most precious thing!" Ma Xingzhi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, how about I give you a price of [-] Wen to collect your seaweed?"

"Deal!" Lin Xueman replied without thinking, this price is exactly what she expected in her heart, because there are not many people who come to Deshunlou to order egg drop soup, and it can't be sold here, let alone ten cents. Even seven or eight, she is willing to sell it!

Ten cents a tael, that is, one hundred cents a catty, the price is still quite high, if it is sold by catty, it will not be able to reach such a high price no matter what.

"Okay! Miss Xiao, prepare the laver at home first." Ma Xingzhi stood up and looked at her solemnly. "I still have something to do today. Tomorrow, I will go home to get the laver."

"Understood! Then thank you, old man!" Lin Xueman felt ecstasy in her heart. The seaweed stored in her home was about five or six hundred catties. After all, it was a considerable amount of money!

At noon the next day, Ma Xingzhi came to Lin Xueman's house to pick up the goods as promised. He was accompanied by a handsome young man. Lin Xueman recognized him as the owner of Juxianlou, Ma Xingzhi's son. !

When the young man saw Lin Xueman, he just smiled at her without saying a word, his brows and eyes revealed a shrewdness, and his gestures showed the calmness and elegance of a rich man.

The seaweed at home weighed more than 600 catties in total, and it was more than 60 taels of silver, and the second pot of gold came!

In the hall of the county government.

"My lord, I just followed the contract and didn't do anything illegal. Why do you bother to force me? Let's wait for Lu Zhixian to come back to discuss anything!" Zhao Ziliang looked at the young magistrate in front of him calmly. , I thought, I want to spit out what I have eaten?

What a joke!

"The notice has been posted. Starting tomorrow, fishermen will enter the market to sell fish as usual. I hope Mr. Zhao can cooperate with the government's decree and hand over the stalls." Xu Yuanqi's attitude was also very tough, and he looked at the fish with a serious face. Zhao Ziliang said, "As for the money, don't worry, you won't miss a single penny. I guarantee this."

"My lord, fishermen are ordinary people, and I, Zhao Ziliang, are also ordinary people. Could it be that the contract we signed with the government is a dead letter?" Zhao Ziliang refused to budge, and said with a light smile, "Your Excellency is familiar with poetry and books, and has learned a lot. If you change it, will you lose the support of the people?"

"Government orders can be changed at any time if they don't meet the public's wishes. Mr. Zhao doesn't need to question this!" Xu Yuanqi said coldly, "Tomorrow fishermen will enter the market. I hope Mr. Zhao can abide by the government orders of the yamen!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Ziliang sneered and left angrily. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
