Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 190
Huo Xi and Yang Fu returned to the boat.

Seeing Mrs. Yang mending the fishing net, she asked, "Where's dad?"

"I haven't woken up yet."

"Father didn't say we're going to be arrested at night today?"

Yang smiled and said, "I said I would rest for two days. I have been busy until this morning. After delivering the whitebait, I have been sleeping until now."

Huo Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his father would become a desperate Saburo.

"I stayed up all night. Sis, you mend my brother-in-law." Yang Fu poked his head into the cabin, but didn't go in, and sat down at the stern to help his sister mend the fishing nets.

"I know." Yang replied.

Huo Nian was holding a small bowl to eat, he hadn't eaten since Huo Xi and Yang Fu got on the boat, and sat quietly on the board to listen to their talk.

Huo Xi glanced into the bowl he was holding: "What are you eating?"

"It's whitebait. Sister eats one, and uncle eats one too." Grabbing a fried brown thing, he stuffed it into Huo Xi and Yang Fu's mouths.

"Is this a whitebait?" Huo Xi tilted his head back, not letting him put it into his mouth, and took it with his hands.

"Well, it's whitebait. Mother wrapped it in batter and deep-fried it in a frying pan. It's delicious! Eat it, sister."

Huo Xi took a look at the dough in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth. It was burnt and crispy, and tasted very good.

"Is it delicious? I've already eaten half a bowl. This is for my sister and uncle."

"It's delicious, we Nian'er are really sensible." Yang Fu praised him while chewing.

Pi Xiaozi immediately became proud when he got the compliment: "I also caught it last night." The whitebait in this bowl may be the ones he caught.

"Tomorrow, I will let my mother fry it." The little hand squeezed one for Yang Fu, and another for Huo Xi. Seeing that they had eaten them all, he squeezed one and put it in his mouth. The little mouth was bulging and he ate it With relish.

Huo Xi glanced at Yang, saw her mother looking at Huo Nian with a doting face, and looked at Huo Nian again, seeing him eating one by one happily.That little hand is full of oil.

Can't help but laugh.

Even if the family has spare money, my mother is reluctant to use oil, such as fried food, it is very willing to make food for Huo Nian.

"This whitebait, the best thing to eat is not fried." Seeing that he ate a lot, Huo Xi didn't think it was greasy, so she said something for fear that he would spoil his throat.

"Then what's the best food?" Pi Xiaozi was really fooled, and monkeyed up.

Huo Xi lit it into his bowl: "Look, once it's wrapped in batter, can't you see the whitebait?"

Pi Xiaozi took a look and nodded.

Huo Xi said again: "The whitebait looks cute and cute, and the meat is tender and tender. The fried meat will not taste good if it shrinks. Use it to stew eggs, scramble eggs, make soup, and the fish meat is smooth." It’s the best when it’s smooth and tender.”

Pi Xiaozi stared at her, swallowed his saliva desperately, turned and threw himself on Yang Shi: "Mother, make whitebait stewed eggs for Nian'er, scrambled eggs, and make soup."

Yang Shi hugged him, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Okay, mother will cook for us, delicious whitebait dishes."

"Mother, Nian'er likes you the most." She kissed Yang Shi on the face, and acted like a baby while hugging Yang Shi.

Yang's heart was so sweet that she narrowed her eyes with a smile.

A few years ago, I picked up Huo Xi, and felt that I finally had a caring little padded jacket, but I didn't know that Huo Xi was a petty person, and I couldn't look forward to this thing of acting like a baby in her arms and whispering in her arms once a year.

Unexpectedly, Nian'er's fur coat turned into a cozy little padded jacket in the end.

She really loves him so much, she and Er Huai are willing to set up a ladder to pick the stars for him if they want them.

Before eating dinner, Huo Erhuai woke up.

Seeing the whole family here, I was very happy, "Today our family divided 35 taels, and each of the other three families also got 20 taels. They are all very happy. The enthusiasm is not diminished, and they say they will continue."

"Father, you can't work too hard. Our family is rich in money now, and the most important thing is to keep healthy."

"Father understands. Father told them to rest for a few days."

Huo Xi nodded and glanced at him.

All these years, what she and Yang Fu earned, Yang's family and Huo Erhuai didn't want it, and Huo Xi gave all the rent in the field to her to open a shop, and only took what she earned from selling goods on her own boat, and Fishing.

But Huo Xi had enough for the family, and they didn't need to spend anything.The couple also saved a lot of silver in their hands. When the silver was saved to a certain amount, they looked around for land and wanted to buy land.I also bought some here and there.

Mrs. Yang pulled Huo Xi: "Your father got the money and said he would buy you fabrics to make spring clothes. Your spring clothes last year were probably short. Tomorrow you and Fu'er took the money to buy some fabrics, and mother will make them for you. "

"Sister, I have a lot of clothes, you can make them for Xi'er and Nian'er."

Huo Xi smiled: "Do all of them, everyone in our family makes two. The cloth we sell back is cheap, so I want to make as many as I want."

Huo Erhuai glanced at Mrs. Yang, if the mother of the child said not to do it, several children would not know how to do it, so he made a decision: "Do it, do it all."

"Okay, there are new clothes to wear." Huo Nian happily clapped his little hands.

Huo Xi couldn't help poking him: "Is our family short of your clothes, or are you wearing patched clothes? Are you so happy to make clothes?"

Pi Xiaozi blinked: "Aren't you happy making clothes?"

Uh, it made Huo Xi choke.Seeing the two siblings staring wide-eyed, everyone laughed.

After dinner, Huo Xi suddenly thought of the prices of the goods that he checked in the shop today, thought about it, and asked Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi: "Father, mother, are you going to the countryside these two days?"

"Rent collector? I want to go!" Pi Xiaozi exclaimed excitedly, afraid he would forget him.

"Mother doesn't collect rent."

"Don't you collect rent? Then why do you have to go to the countryside?"

Yang hugged him: "The weather is getting warmer, and the farmers are going to plow the land for spring plowing. My parents are going to sign a contract with the new tenants and see how they prepare for growing grain."

"Think about it too."

"Okay, father and mother will bring Nian'er together." Pi Xiaozi was immediately happy when he heard that, and shook his head, Huo Xi gave him a stare and even made a face for Huo Xi.

"Father, when you go to the countryside this time, ask everyone if they would like to grow glutinous rice. Then ask if their Xiatian would like to plant mulberry trees."

Huo Xi wanted to plant mulberries, Huo Erhuai and Yang knew about it, and he and his wife had also greeted the fishermen with land.But glutinous rice?
"The yield of glutinous rice is low, I'm afraid the farmers are unwilling."

Mrs. Yang didn't know what the kid was up to, but she couldn't get two to three hundred catties of glutinous rice from planting one mu.Farmers are afraid that they are unwilling.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Huo Xi explained to them.

"I looked through the shop's account book today and found that the purchase price of glutinous rice has been getting higher and higher this year. A stone of glutinous rice with shells was only sold for about one, two, two, and three yuan, but the purchase price in the past two months has been one, two, and five yuan. It’s going up. I don’t know why. And our store doesn’t have much stock of glutinous rice, whether it’s hulled or not.”
