Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 186
Today, there are many cargo ships and workers on the river bank. Meng Kejun spent a little more time selling on the river bank. By the time she finished collecting the stalls, it was already daylight.

Meng Kejun came to Nier's boat with a load. Nier's mother, who was busy washing clothes with a basin on the boat, immediately put down the clothes she was rubbing, and came to help Meng Kejun carry the burden onto the boat.

"Sister-in-law, why is it this hour today, and you haven't punted out to go fishing yet?"

After placing the burden, Meng Kejun asked strangely, at this time in the past, Nierniang and Wenjie should have left the boat.

"Ugh--"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Kejun said these words, Nierniang sighed and shook her head.

"It's hard to catch fish now." Nierniang simply sat down next to the burden, and frowned while talking, "You have seen our boat, the dilapidated one can't stand a little bit of bumping, if we go A little farther away, if a wave hits, not only will the boat scatter, but we may even lose our lives."

"Where can I find any good fish in this place near the shore, all of them are small fish that are worthless and can't be sold. The ones caught yesterday are still in the cabin, and they only sold for two catties. "

The more Nierniang frowned, the whole family depended on these two boats for food, and if this continues, they might starve to death.

"What about the elder brother? I haven't even seen the elder brother, but I only saw you with three children."

Thinking about it carefully, Meng Kejun has known them for such a long time, but he has never seen a man who is enough to be Wen Jie's father on this boat.

"Don't mention this beast. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have to live like this." When Meng Kejun mentioned her unworthy man, Nierniang gritted her teeth with hatred, "Sister, you are not an outsider. I'm not afraid to tell you about my family ugliness."

After speaking, he looked around and saw that there was no other outsider besides her, so he was finally worried and simply dragged Meng Kejun into the cabin.

In the cabin, Wen Jie, Ni'er and San'er were still sleeping.

"That dead man, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, is not good at anything. Originally, we had two big boats, but they were all defeated by him. You don't know how inhuman he is. When I gave birth to Ni'er, he always Seeing that Nier is a girl, she went so mad that she wanted to throw Nier into the river to drown, saying that a girl is a loser, and it would be better not to have a baby. Do you think this is what people say?"

Thinking of the scene at that time, Nierniang wished she could kill that beast with her own hands.

"After San'er was born, he actually stole the money I had saved to hire a steady wife to gamble. Thanks to my luck, I didn't die on this boat with San'er."

Speaking of which, Nierniang, who has always been strong, finally couldn't help shedding tears at this time, but she quickly wiped the tears off her face, then turned to look at the sleeping child behind her, and helped They put the quilt on.

"Then where is he now?"

Hearing what Nierniang said, Meng Kejun's lungs were going to explode. There is such a scum in this world. It is said that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. This scum even kills his own flesh and blood.

"I don't know where he died. I haven't been back for more than two years. I heard people say that he owed debts from gambling and was beaten to death by those loan sharks. They also said that his body was thrown into this place." in a river."

When she said this, Nierniang's face was calm, as if the person in her mouth had nothing to do with her at all.

"Fortunately, both Wenjie and Nier in our family are sensible, and they wanted to help me carry this family together at a young age." Speaking of this, a comforting smile appeared on Nierniang's face, "Especially Nier Son, since you made the first business deal with her, this kid has been in a hurry every day, carrying a wooden basin to the market to do business, and will help me take care of Saner when she comes back."

"Nier is indeed a good girl. Sister-in-law, don't worry, your three children are all sensible, and your days will get better and better in the future."

Meng Kejun patted Nierniang's hand to comfort her.

"Take it easy, as long as they grow up safely, I will be satisfied."

"Sister-in-law, is this the little fish you caught?"

While talking with Nierniang, Meng Kejun noticed that in a dustpan beside him, there were many small dried fishes that had been dried in the sun. "Yes, this is it. If we can't sell it, we will dry it and make it into dried fish. But sister Jun, why don't you take some back and eat it! It's not a valuable thing anyway."

Nierniang got up and took the dustpan filled with dried fish, and then gave it to Meng Kejun along with the dustpan. Meng Kejun picked up the dried fish in the dustpan and took a closer look. They were all small white fish measuring an inch in length.

The small white fish has thick meat and few spines. If it is cooked well, it will be a very good appetizer and snack.

"Sister-in-law, this is not a cheap thing." Meng Kejun stood up excitedly holding the dustpan, and she hurriedly pulled Nierniang out of the cabin together.

"Sister, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the price of this thing has suddenly increased?"

Nierniang didn't know what Meng Kejun was going to do when she came out, but judging by her happy appearance, it seemed that she was going to do something gratifying.

"Sister-in-law, help light the fire, the hotter the better."

While talking to Nierniang, Meng Kejun rolled up her sleeves and got busy. She first put her big pot on the stove, and then poured oil into the pot, almost pouring out all the oil in her oil tank go in.

"Sister, why are you pouring so much oil into it? This is the precious thing!"

Seeing Meng Kejun pour the whole pot of oil into the pot, it made Nierniang feel very distressed.

"Sister-in-law, just start the fire, and leave the rest alone."

After speaking, he took out all the ginger and garlic in his burden, smashed them all, and cut them into pieces.

After the oil in the pot was heated up, Meng Kejun poured all the dried small white fish in the dustpan into the pot, then took a frying spoon and stirred slowly to prevent sticking to the pot, stirring carefully, until the dried small white fish in the pot After frying until golden brown and smelling a strong fresh aroma, scoop up all of them and put them into a large bowl for later use.

After the dried fish was fished out, Meng Kejun poured the minced ginger and garlic into the pan to fry.

After a little fragrance, Meng Kejun scooped up all of them immediately, and poured them directly into the fried dried fish.

Then she poured the oil back into the oil pot, added water to the pot, placed four chopsticks at the bottom of the pot to form a well, and when the water boiled, put the fried small fish together with the bowl. Top the chopsticks, and finally cover the pot and steam up.

When the water vapor came up, Meng Kejun lifted the lid of the pot after he could smell the fresh scent of dried fish mixed with ginger and garlic.

It wasn't until this time that Nierniang understood what Meng Kejun was doing.
