Chapter 61: catch fish, sell fish
"I went to the fields to see, I almost forgot to care about these crops. I don't know if those crops are mature?"
When Dong Chenghu heard this was a big deal, he hurriedly followed Gu Shuixiu to the field behind his ass, muttering to himself, "I wanted to ask you, but the rice in the paddy field is all dead. Ears of rice, the leaves are starting to turn yellow, I'm worried that when the rice is ripe and the stems are withered, will they rot in the water?"
Gu Shuixiu nodded, stopped suddenly, and said anxiously to Dong Chenghu: "You go home now and get some baskets and fish catchers, and by the way, I'll invite eldest sister and uncle Qin over to help, let's Today, I got the fish and shrimp out of the paddy field and released the water in the paddy field."
Dong Chenghu became anxious when he saw Gu Shuixiu being so anxious, and ran away without a trace.
Gu Shuixiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she arrived at the paddy field alone. Fortunately, she was in time, and the release of water at this time would not affect the rice harvest.
I am afraid that the situation can only be driven one ditch by one ditch.
First drive out the fish in one ditch, then block both ends, and then drive the second ditch, and the woman just catches the fish behind.
With such a tacit cooperation, I finally caught all the big fish and small fish in the ditch before it got dark. Forget the finger-sized ones, just let them go with the water.
In addition, I caught two or three baskets of crayfish, river shrimp, and many snails. This is really a bountiful harvest.
Uncle Qin was as happy as his family got these things.
"Chenghu, there are about two or three hundred fish weighing four or five catties here, and more than five hundred fish weighing about three catties. And this shrimp, you have to take it out. Is it sold?"
Dong Chenghu looked at Gu Shuixiu, saw her nodding, and grinned: "Uncle and aunt, brother Qingsong, you all bring some back to change the taste, I will save another part for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, The rest are sold."
Uncle Qin didn't say anything more when he saw that Dong Chenghu was confident.
Before they left, Dong Chenghu gave the Qin family five five-jin fish, ten three-jin fish, and some crayfish and snails. Zuo Qingsong only took away the big fish for two days. Don't do it all.
Dong Chenghu asked for unknown reasons, but Zuo Qingsong said coolly, "I can only cook fish, I can't eat more." Then he simply left, leaving Dong Chenghu alone. chaos.
That night, Dong Chenghu took two large baskets of fish and a large basket of spicy crayfish cooked by Gu Shuixiu to Linhai County.
I don't know what to do, where can I get the recipe for the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper knocked and slapped him for a long time. Seeing that Dong Chenghu was real, he asked three questions, so he had to pay the money and let him go, and instantly charged a basket of big fish.
The other basket was about three catties of fish. The shopkeeper of the restaurant didn’t like it, so Dong Chenghu took it to the street and sold it. No matter how much strength, not much cost, Dong Chenghu simply sold it cheap.
A 3-pound fish on the market costs about 20 cents, so he sells it for 18 cents. There are always people who have children who need to feed their mothers fish, and 18 cents buy a three-pound fish Heavy fish are really not expensive, and some families buy them in groups of three or four.
When the sun came up and there were 23 left to sell, Dong Chenghu simply took the fish to the slum. In the alley that the slum must pass through.
When the beggars returned to the slum, they happened to see a basket of fish that had just died. They were still fresh. back to the slums.
Immediately some beggars recognized that it was the fish of a man selling fish in the market today, Song Youxin asked a few more questions, the man thought for a long time before he suddenly realized, "I think I saw that man selling fish today. The fish looks familiar, now that I think about it, that man is the man in the couple who brought us food and invited the doctor."
Song Youxin thought about the couple who guarded them last time, and most of the doubts in his heart went away, so people hurriedly cleaned up the fish, and gave everyone a good meal today, thinking about whether to go to the river Find someone below.
Dong Chenghu didn't know that he was already thinking about him, and happily returned to Cuizhu Mountain with the money in his hand, intending to take a nap, and then transport the remaining fish and shrimp to sell.
This review of the water show only left about fifty big fish and half a frame of crayfish. Those river prawns were not going to be sold, they were all left, and the rest were all shipped out by Dong Chenghu .
Urine Dun as an excuse to walk.
He made up his mind that he would not go to the restaurant to deal with the shopkeeper again in the near future.
The remaining fish, Dong Chenghu, was not sold at the market this time, but was sent to Zhang's house. The back door of the mansion was photographed for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
A passer-by happened to see him, and kindly stepped forward and said, "Brother, are you looking for someone from this manor? But are there any relatives of your family?"
Dong Chenghu shook his head for unknown reasons, kept his eyes open and said, "I am a fish seller. The housekeeper in this house ordered fish with me before. I just sold a part of it, thinking that there is still left. There are so many, I can’t sell them all at the market, so I came over and asked Steward Zhang if he still wanted it, and if not, I’ll ask another house.”
The man then noticed the basket next to Dong Chenghu, seeing that it was full of fish, he believed him, and said with a sigh: "This family is all killed! Poor, the whole family was killed. Now, even children are not spared. Alas! Big brother, I think you should leave quickly, but don't get into trouble."
Dong Chenghu felt cold all over his body and could not even say a word. He didn't know how he knocked on the door of other houses to sell fish. Although all the fish were sold in the end, he But he was not happy at all, all he thought in his mind was what Butler Zhang had entrusted to him.
Thinking of how good butler Zhang died like this, he felt sad, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, he was confused, he didn't know what to do at this time, but he remembered Gu Shuixiu As said before, they cannot be ungrateful people.
