Fairview Farm

Chapter 53 Receiving the Goods (2)
"It's much better now." Zhiqing said calmly.For the grievances his mother suffered in those years, he saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

"Zhiqing, filial piety is a virtue, but not ignorance. If we develop filial piety into ignorance, it will be a lifetime of pain." Yuniang looked out the window, her eyes wandering.

Zhiqing's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was an unknown sadness in her brows and eyes, which made him startled.Because this is a kind of sorrow that he has never come into contact with, even a sorrow that he has never been able to understand in his whole life.

And he, most of all, doesn't want anything on her that he can't see clearly, because such a distance scares him.

In the next few days, the old lady was very quiet, and she didn't dare to come to the door to make irresponsible remarks, and she didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Zhiqing's wound is gradually healing, and Yu Niang is also happy to see it.

The weather was clear and stable, and the villagers naturally wanted to go to sea.But Zhiqing's injury is good, and he is worried about letting Zhiqing's father go to sea alone, so he is a step behind.

Seeing everyone's sad faces, Yu Niang couldn't help feeling amused, "Don't worry, we have a lot to do."

Liu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.But Zhiqing is very clear, even Xiaolian has already guessed, "Sister-in-law, you mean that when everyone comes back from the sea, we will go to the seaside to ask for those snakes... um, those rice field eels?"

Yu Niang squinted her eyes and smiled, shaking her head, "It's not about asking, but buying."

purchase?
Everyone has to throw away this thing, just pick it up, why spend money on it?
"If people know that this thing can make money, how can they take advantage of us for nothing? Besides, these things are also hard-earned by others, so we should spend money to buy them back." Yuniang explained.

Mrs. Liu nodded, "What Yuniang said makes sense."

Zhiqing's father is of course also supportive. Since he has figured out how to support his son's actions, he must support his daughter-in-law's actions.

So, in the afternoon, the whole family went to the beach to wait for the harvest.

Many people from the village had already waited by the seashore. When they saw Zhiqing's family appear, they couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Fourth aunt, are you going to come out to help? It seems that the second aunt's family is having a good harvest."

They are here to help!

Mrs. Liu couldn't explain it, so she looked at Yuniang.

"This is Zhiqing's daughter-in-law. Oh, I've never seen her before. She's really beautiful. She's much fairer than us."

"Yes, yes, it's not like us."

"Auntie, you are joking." Yu Niang spoke modestly, and then continued her efforts, "Auntie, I wonder if you can sell those water snakes that you made up at home later?"

Everyone was stunned, can those things still be sold?

"What do you want that thing for?"

"Hehehe, didn't you go to sea at home? I'm going to order to cook. If I can't finish eating, I can sell some money."

Everyone felt that Yuniang's words were unrealistic. If these things could be sold, everyone would have been rushing for them, so why would they throw them away?

"If you want it, just take it later, don't mention the money or not."

"That's right."

"Come directly to me later to get it."

On the other hand, Yuniang smiled and said, "Aunts are really kind, but it takes effort to catch them. I don't feel at ease if I don't give money."

Seeing that they had something to say, but someone was already tempted, Liu said with a smile: "What do you think of two pennies per catty?"

A family can have at least a dozen catties, which were originally things to be thrown away, but now they can be exchanged for tens of pennies, how can you be unhappy?

"This……"

"Auntie doesn't want to sell?" Yuniang asked with a smile.

"Sell." Everyone replied in unison.

After the storm, there must be a bumper harvest.

Looking at the people returning with full load, Liu sighed, "If we can go to sea, we must earn more than them."

Yu Niang was not jealous at all, but said calmly: "This is something that is exchanged for safety, and it is not worth envying. Moreover, we will definitely earn dozens of times more than them!"

Mrs. Liu was a little surprised, but thinking about the three taels of silver before, she felt that it was still possible to live.

Today everyone caught a lot of eels, ranging from as little as [-] catties to as many as [-] catties.

At first, everyone was immersed in the sadness of not being able to catch them, but when they heard that the family members said that these water snakes could be sold for money, they were immediately excited, but skeptical.

When he took the copper plate that Yuniang handed over, he was in disbelief, that there are really fools who are willing to pay for this useless thing.

Everyone was dumbfounded looking at the rice field eel weighing hundreds of catties in front of them.

Yu Niang didn't expect there to be so many, at least four hundred catties here, right?
Uh, two Wen for a catty, four hundred for a catty is eight hundred Wen, but if they are all dry goods, it seems to be a hundred Wen for a catty, and three or four catties of fresh food can produce a catty of dry goods, which is equivalent to A catty of dry goods made a net profit of about 92 Wen...

The more she thought about it, the more excited Yuniang became, her little face flushed red.

Zhiqing looked at her excited little face with some amusement, and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Mother, it should be the second uncle and Brother Alei who are going to sell the fish today, right? Let's ask Mrs. Alei and the second auntie to help, and see if we can get all the fish ready today." Yuniang said with a smile, "I can pay the wages. If we can finish it all within an hour, we can save dozens of pennies in salt, and the tens of pennies will be given to the second aunt and sister-in-law A Lei."

Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that she would have a day to pay wages.

"This, this..." Mrs. Liu is still here and there, but Xiao Lian has already run away, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to find my second aunt."

Soon, Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Yu rushed over. When they saw these fresh eels, they were a little incredulous and asked in unison, "Why are there so many?"

Yu Niang smiled, "Second Aunt, Mrs. A Lei, please forgive me."

Liao gave Yuniang a strange look, shook her head, and started working without saying a word.

Within an hour, they were able to finish their work!
Yu Niang stared dumbfounded at the rice field eels piled up in front of her, and then at the rice field eels piled up in front of them, blushing a little embarrassedly, she didn't expect that her speed could really not keep up with them!
"These have to be picked and washed at home. Hurry up and dry them, or you will lose a lot today."

With Yuniang's command, everyone can work more easily.Of course, it can only be left to Zhiqing's father to carry the burden.

The speed of working together is fast. After everything is completed, it is estimated that there is still an hour of drying time.
