Rebirth of a farmer's daughter

Chapter 99
"Isn't it just a child, go to my house, play with my grandson." Chen arranged everything neatly, so that Yue'erniang would have nothing to worry about.

"That's great, auntie, I have to thank you!" Yue'erniang said, her eyes turned red again.

Both Yue'erniang and Mrs. Zhuang Ma agreed, and things will naturally be easy to handle.The two cleaned up, cooked porridge neatly, coaxed the child up, and rushed to Zhou Shun's house to help.

Here, Zhou Shun's family is busy, and over there, Mrs. Yu also got up early and started to get busy. Grandma Wang also came with Magnolia. The daughter can't do anything if she wants to be lazy, so she can only be kicked out by Mrs. Yu after breakfast. house door.

Now, the lo mei at the wharf has gained a reputation, and even those who can't get it in restaurants in the town come here to buy it, and there are even those who drive horse-drawn carriages, which makes Zhou Shun's family more and more famous.

"What bad luck, I didn't get anything in the past two days, so I got entangled with these ghost things." When I arrived at the pier, the market was empty, and Qian Jin felt a little dissatisfied.At this moment, she heard someone complaining, she looked back curiously, her eyes lit up instantly, and her feet immediately walked up.

The person who complained was about the same age as Zhou Hong, and he was chopping his feet, trying to kick off the green strip wrapped around the bar, and the box he was carrying was almost completely soaked by the green strip. , his face was full of disappointment and anger, and a little helplessness and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Daddy Datou." Seeing this person, Qian Jin remembered the first time he met Datou, and felt that time passed so quickly.

Lin Fumin, who was complaining, raised his head and looked blankly when he heard someone shouting. After seeing Qianjin standing in front of him, he showed a wry smile and said, "I didn't catch anything today, so I just got these things. Still tidying up!" He thought that Qianjin wanted to buy fish, so he said so.

On this wharf, everyone knows that Zhou Qianjin is a formidable person, buying and selling fish is easy.

Qianjin naturally knew the reason for the helplessness in Lin Fumin's eyes. These were completely useless to them, and they couldn't sell a penny.In this case, it means that their hard work for a few days is in vain, and there are still children waiting to be fed at home, and everything needs money, so he is very distressed.

"Daddy, can you sell me the things in the box?" Qian Jin asked in a negotiating tone after thinking for a while.

"What?" Lin Fumin shook his body when he heard it, and said in astonishment: "Qianjin, these are not fish, they are just some seaweed. What do you buy them for, and you can't eat them!" He wanted to sell them, but people would say He lied to the child, so he patiently explained.

"I know this is seaweed. I read it in a book and said it's edible and tastes good, so I want to try it." She knew that if she insisted on buying it, people would definitely disagree, so she explained it like this.

"Can it be eaten?" Lin Fumin was taken aback for a moment, hesitating a little.

Seeing that he was still struggling, Qianjin frowned, fearing that too many people would make things worse, so she quickly said to him: "Why don't you weigh everything in the frame on the boat and send it to my house first. When I do it, if you think it’s okay, sell it to me at eight cents per catty, how about that?”

She really doesn't know how much a catty of seaweed is, but in Qianjin, it is very rare and expensive, and most people can't eat it at all.But after she ate it once, she fell in love with that taste and kept thinking about it all the time, but she was seen by herself, so she absolutely couldn't allow the good things to disappear in front of her.

"Eight... eight cents a catty?" Lin Fumin was stunned for a moment, then felt like he was dreaming, pinched his face in disbelief, and asked in a daze, "Is there really eight cents a catty?"

"I promise!" Seeing that he agreed to herself due to the pressure of life, Qian Jin nodded vigorously and said, "If you can't eat, I won't give you money, so don't worry, just weigh it and report it to me. Send these back home and tell my mother not to move them until I come back to clean them up!"

"Okay, okay, I still have some on board, you wait." Lin Fumin was really excited at the moment. He originally wanted to throw away the seaweed in the frame, but when he heard what Qianjin said, he immediately Turn around and go to the boat.There was still seaweed on the boat, and they wanted to sort it out and throw it into the sea. If they were late, they would be in trouble with Yin Zi, so they ran faster.

Before Qianjin could think about what to do with the seaweed, she heard a rush of footsteps. She looked up and saw that it was the big-headed mother Hu who ran over chaotically. Fight and fall.

"Qian... Qianjin." Seeing that Qianjin was still there, Hu felt inexplicably relieved, looked at her panting, and asked after a long time, "Daddy Datou said, do you want to buy seaweed from our boat?" At first she even wanted to die, and she was cleaning up the seaweed entangled in the fishing net without any strength at all, when she heard Da Tou Daddy come back in a hurry and said that these can't be thrown away, and she wants to buy them.

Who is this daughter? Everyone in the village knows her and knows that she is capable. With her own ability, she can get 80 taels of silver, support her old mother, and let her elder brother and second brother move out.When others said to buy it, she would think it was a joke, but now that Qianjin wants to buy it, she is even more excited.

"Well, big-headed lady, please weigh it. When the time comes, please send it to my mother. Tell me how much it weighs. I will send you money later." This Hu family helped her once, and she remembered it clearly.When I was selling pear soup at the dock, Lin Zhoushi bullied me. She took out a clean handkerchief and wiped my face.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away." Obviously I believed it, but I don't know why, after listening to Qianjin's words, I felt a lot more at ease, but I was still very excited.

Seeing Hu's back leaving in a hurry, Qianjin couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

Relying on the sky and the sea, life in this fishing village is really difficult.A strong wind and strong waves wiped out not only the harvest on the boat, but also the crops in the field.Because it is close to the seaside, if there is a strong wind, the harvest will be halved and then halved, which is almost the same as no harvest, so Hu is so panicked.

No harvest means starvation, which no one would like to accept.

Without strong winds and waves, this day is so-so. If there is a natural disaster or something, this day will be really difficult.

It's a pity that she can't protect herself now, she can't change anything, she can only sigh in her heart.

Except for Lin Fumin and his wife and Granny Yu's Wang, no one else knew about Qianjin's purchase of seaweed, because none of them were talkative, and Qianjin didn't want others to know.

There were not many boats today, so Qianjin bought what was available, and asked Boss Duan to come over and pay for it, and took the cooked lo mei away, and was about to go back to clean up the seaweed, but Boss Duan called to stop him.

"Qianjin, wait a while." Boss Duan called Qianjin who was about to turn around, and seeing her looking back at him in doubt, he said a little embarrassedly: "I won't hide it from you, the lo-mei business is indeed good, just I don’t know if there are other types, because eating these all day, even if you like it, you will get tired of it.”

Qian Jin understands Boss Duan's words, and knows that rich people are just talkative, and she dare not agree with the cooking method that is outdated in ancient times and pays attention to appearance, not the inside, so lo mei is loved by many people, and it is even more necessary to innovate.

"I heard from Aunt Shun that there are new things coming out in the past few days, it's just...the extra things must cost money." Qian Jin blinked her eyes cunningly, and then said thoughtfully.
