Chapter 104
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the family has passed the busiest time of harvesting and frying mountain products. My aunt and elder sister are going back to Lishu. After discussing it, the Ning family decided to fish out all the fish in the pond.Although the pond is too small to catch fish through the ice like Chagan Lake in winter, it is also a good idea to buy a large net and clean the fish from the bottom of the water once to catch all the big fish. As for the remaining small fish, It's up to them, and whether they can survive the winter safely can only be left to fate.

I heard that the Ning's pond was going to be fished, and all the people from the three villages came to see the excitement, and even Hu's village also had a lot of people. After all, this is a big event that has never been seen in mountain villages.

At noon on this day, some of the strongest young men in the village drank wine to warm up first, then got into the water from both sides, circled the big fishing net from the bottom of the water, and then all went to the shore to pull the net up together.

I don't want to, a few people can't move it!
The spectators immediately filled it up. After all, the strength of a large number of people is much greater. The big net was pulled up, and there were dozens of big fish in it, the largest one was more than a foot long, and I had never seen it in fishing on weekdays. Yes, I don't know how these fish have been hidden until now!
The eldest uncle had seen winter fishing, so this time the fishing was arranged by him, so he slapped his hands and said: "I didn't expect there to be so many fish in this small pond!" Then he said to Ning Liang: "Brother-in-law, we It should be caught again, and there may be fish that slipped through the net!"

The aunt was very excited, "Of course I have to fish again!"

In the second time, more than 20 fish were caught online, and in the third time, there were also a few fish.The scales of the caught fish were shining, jumping on the ground by the pond, and their tails hit the ground making a "pop" sound. Such a scene was never seen in Sanjia Village. Everyone laughed and said, "I really saw you today." out of the world!"

Everyone found it interesting to see the fish. Naturally, some people stepped forward to take a closer look or picked it up to weigh it, but they put it down after seeing it. Only Shuaner from the third room of the Ning family was about to go home after holding a big silver carp. "Grandma! Grandma! Go home and stew fish for me!"

Shuan'er Niang grabbed Shuan'er and slapped her on the buttocks, "This is not our fish, put it down!" Shuan'er cried loudly, "I want it! I want it!"

Shuan Erniang was unmoved, snatched the fish and put it back, then slapped him again, "Don't cry!"

The three old ladies who came together scolded their daughter-in-law, "He's still young, you can play with it if you want, why are you beating him!"

Shuan'er's mother was not as obedient as usual without saying a word, she grabbed Shuan'er who was about to jump on her grandmother and said loudly: "Grandmother, since the villagers let me take good care of Shuan'er, I have to take good care of him."

No wonder Shuan'erniang has been robbing Shuan'er with her these two days, but it turned out she was waiting for her here!The third old lady was so choked that she couldn't speak a word.The events of the previous two days have not really passed. In front of everyone, she couldn't go back on what she said that day. After all, she not only did not admit that Shuan'er's fault was related to her, but also accused her daughter-in-law in public, saying that she Don't take good care of your children.

After all, he is the grandson who has always been spoiled to the bottom of his heart. The third old lady saw that Shuan'er was crying out of breath, and felt very distressed. She stepped forward and wanted to pull Shuan'er back, but Shuan'er's mother refused to let go, "Mother!" , Shuan is not small anymore, what will happen in the future if this continues?" He held Shuan'er tightly in his hand, "I brought him to see the net fish, just to tell that the fish is not ours!"

Who would have thought that Shuan Erniang, who has always been honest, dared to fight with her mother-in-law and took the upper hand steadily. The villagers actually noticed it, but everyone did not see it. What should be done is still doing , only Ning Wan cast a complimenting look at Shuan Erniang.Shuan'er managed well, not only for Sanfang, but also for Sanjia Village!

The fishing net was almost ready, the Ning family had prepared in advance, and because Ning Wan was quick and knew it, she took some of the various fish from the fishing spot and gave them to several people who went fishing, even if they helped pull the net, there would be no empty Hand back.In addition, each family in the village gave one, and those who were close to each other naturally added more, and some were sent to the mother's family in Hujia Village, and so on.

The rest of the fish were carried to the house in baskets, and she divided them into several shares. The ones kept by the family were given to the eldest aunt and elder sister, and the ones that Ningliang went to Hutai County to give to acquaintances tomorrow. The Ning family now has more people coming and going. stand up.

The family eats fish naturally at noon, and made several kinds of fish. Ning Wan made fish wontons again: pick out the fish meat and chop it into minced meat, add chopped leeks to make the stuffing; then roll the reconciled white noodles into large slices, Cut into rectangles, wrap the stuffing in a roll and fold it again, and it becomes individual ingot wontons.The bones that were removed just now are boiled in snow-white fish soup. Now it is just time to put the wontons in and cook them, plus shredded green vegetables, mushrooms, and fungus. Each bowl is delicious and tender.

On the second day, the eldest aunt and elder sister's family left early in the morning, and the family was sent to the entrance of the village, very sad.Real relatives are never enough.My aunt pulled Ning Wan and said: "I miss my niece the most. During the Chinese New Year, I will go to my aunt's house for a few days!" Then she said to Yu Shi: "When the stone is bigger, let him go to Lishu Village Let's play." The eldest sister also kept inviting her parents and sisters, "Go over if you have nothing to do!"

Father led the donkey, and seeing that they hadn't left after talking for a long time, he smiled and urged, "If you don't leave, we'll have to wait until tomorrow." Then we parted.

This year, the Ning family's business has grown to a higher level. In addition to the mountain products from Sanjia Village and Hujia Village, they also collected mountain products from several surrounding villages.Because of this, they felt that the location of Sanjia Village was too remote and it was too difficult to transport goods, so they had already negotiated to buy a shop in Mayi Town. A few years ago, Ning's father and daughter took time to go to Mayi Town to look at the house.

Looking at Mayi Town in Sanjia Village in the past, they only thought it was a very bustling and lively place, but after they had been to Hutai County, they knew that Mayi Town was small, almost the smallest and poorest town in the entire county.There is not even a special dental shop in the town, and the only way to buy and sell houses is to ask around.

Fortunately, the town is not big, and just before the festival, when the shops were being checked, the father and daughter of the Ning family walked from one end to the other, and finally found two houses for sale under the advice of a few kind people. , an old shop of the Lin family in the middle of the town. The front is the shop and the back is the residence. The house is very tidy. It used to sell groceries. Now that the son goes to the capital to run business, he refuses to take over the old shop at home. The old couple have made up their minds To collect business and go home for the elderly, the asking price is 28 taels of silver; the other is on the east side of the town, and the house is a bit dilapidated. It turned out that the family could not keep their ancestral property, and their livelihood became more and more depressed. They planned to sell their ancestral house and return to the countryside, asking for 15 taels two silver.

After hearing the price, Dad chose the one with 15 taels of silver, "We can only use this place to collect mountain goods, and then transfer to Hutai County. It is close to Jishang and the price is cheap. It will be very good to repair."

Originally, Ning Wan didn't plan to buy a very good house. The purpose of buying a house for the family was to facilitate the turnover of mountain goods. It was enough to have a place to live and a bigger yard.But when she saw the two houses, she changed her mind, "Although there is a shortfall of 13 taels of silver, but dad, think about it, if we open a shop in a decent house in the middle of the town to collect and sell mountain products People think our business is very good?"

Dad then thought of those famous shops and restaurants in Hutai County, Ruihongfeng, Piaoxiangju, Wangyuanlou...all of them are located in the best locations in the county, and the facades are very neat and beautiful, so that people can see this shop I thought there must be something good here.So he hesitated, "It's more than ten taels of silver!"

Although the Ning family has made some money, how much can the small mountain goods business earn?Moreover, there are several people in the family who need to eat and buy various things. A dozen taels of silver is not a small number.

Ning Wan also felt sorry for Yinzi, but she made up her mind, "Father, we'll just buy this place!"

Now that the young girl has made up her mind, the father no longer argues, "Well, I'll listen to you!"

The father and daughter went back again, and Mr. Lin smiled when he saw it, "I knew you would come back! Our shop is in a prosperous place, which is suitable for business. You father and daughter have a good eye at the first sight." Yes, if you choose, you will still choose our house. We are also happy when we sell goods and know people.”

Mrs. Lin brought out two bowls of tea, "You are a guest when you enter the door, don't talk about business, just drink a bowl of tea!"

Ning Wan took the tea with a smile, and with just these two sentences, she knew that her plan to bargain more would come to naught. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin are shrewd people who have been in business all their lives, so they won't take over Cheap is good.

Ning Liang is an honest person, he was already moved when he heard this, and almost took out the money in his bosom, but luckily his daughter discussed it with him before entering the door, so she stopped her hands, smiled and said nothing, He took the tea and drank it with a smile.

Ning Wan knew that her father and she had shown weakness to the Lin family by going back voluntarily, and now she also sits beside her father drinking tea, talking miscellaneous things with Mrs. Lin, without mentioning a single word about buying a house, which made the old Lin couple anxious.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lin lost her composure, and pointed her hands in her house, "It's not that my old Wang sells melons and sells melons to boast, our house is the best in the town! Back then we learned from the old shopkeeper. I took over this shop and spent a full ten pennies on repairs! The roof was replaced with new tiles, the floor was replaced with new bricks, and we can’t take the cabinets in the shop with us, so I leave them to you.”

Ning Wan praised everything, "Sure enough, it took a lot of thought. My father and I like it very much." The conversation changed, "It's just that there is no rush to buy a house. Our family will only use it in autumn. The price of this house Gao, I always have to go back first and collect some money before coming back.”

Since the old couple of the Lin family were going to sell their shop and go back to the countryside to retire, they naturally sold the goods in the shop at a reduced price before the Chinese New Year. They were going home for the Chinese New Year. The old house had already been renovated, so they didn't want to wait another six months. So they got anxious instead, looked at each other and asked, "How much money are you short?"

Ning Wan reckoned that it would be impossible to suppress too much. Although Mayi Town is small, there is no guarantee that another buyer will come out. If he also takes a fancy to this shop, it will be too late to regret it, so he frowned and said : "I thought it would cost only 25 taels of silver..."

Mr. Lin said decisively: "That must not work!"

Ning Wan also said: "I also know, but is this good? It's still 28 taels of silver, but the cost of asking the middleman to write the deed is borne by the seller, so the money we bring is enough."

In house buying and selling, apart from the price, there is also an additional amount of money, which is to handle the buying and selling documents, which is quite a lot, and if the money is to be paid by the family, it will probably be much more than the Lin family who is very familiar with in Mayi Town. Ask the Lin family to help with it, and the two families will be saved. Mr. Lin should be able to accept it.

Sure enough, Mr. Lin thought about it, "Alright, then I will take care of all these chores, and make an appointment to write the contract."

Ning Wan was overjoyed, "In that case, our money will be enough, and the day is not as good as hitting the sun, it's not as good as today."

Mr. Lin originally wanted to sell the house earlier. After hearing what Ning Wan said, he was naturally happy. Write a deed and draw a pledge."

The town is no better than Hutai County. There is no government office. When it comes to buying and selling houses and fields, you only need to ask your husband to write a deed and draw a pledge, and then ask the head of the village and three prestigious old men to be middlemen according to their fingerprints. Therefore, Lin After a while, the old man invited the head of the village, Mr. Xu and the three elders. Mr. Xu wrote the deed, and the head of the village and the three elders signed the deed. Mr. Lin gave the deed to Ning Liang, and Ning Liang also He took out 28 taels of silver and gave it to Mr. Lin.

The house was sold so easily, Mr. Lin was very satisfied, he took out money to take care of everyone, and said with a smile: "I invite everyone to Zhuji Yang Tang for lunch!"

Ning Liang had already laughed out loud after saving the money, and seeing Mr. Xu and the head of the village, they were both very respected dignitaries, she quickly stood up with a smile and said, "I invite everyone, I invite everyone!" Agree, although doing business is frugal, the money that should be saved must be saved, but the money that should be spent must also be spent.
