Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

The small bucket that appeared in front of Chang Pingning was half full of sand, with only a small hole on the surface and a large conch.

After hearing the other party's request for roasting, Chang Pingning hesitated: "What the young master found in this bucket seems to be clams and the like. I need to see the size to determine whether it is roasted or boiled."

The round-faced young master's round face fell down and he looked at his mother: "Mom, can I go to the port to eat grilled oysters?"

Mrs. Zeng's expression changed, and she whispered in her son's ear: "Your father is still at the Liu family, don't run around."

Chang Pingning took half a step back when Mrs. Zeng and Young Master Zeng were whispering, and after they finished speaking, she opened her mouth to tell them.

"To be honest, young master, I own the grilled oyster stall at the port. It has already been closed down by this time in the afternoon," Chang Pingning said.

"And raw oysters are much bigger than sea oysters. Our beachside families usually take the oysters to the town to sell them for money. They are reluctant to eat them." Guo Bomo didn't know when he appeared next to Chang Pingning, his face full of sincerity. explain.

The light in the round-faced young master's eyes dimmed completely.

However, Chang Pingning saw Mrs. Zeng cast admiring glances at the couple.

Mrs. Zeng bent down and coaxed her son softly: "Haorui, why don't we take this small bucket of stuff home and let the cook at home cook a table of dishes for you?"

"But the seafood cooked by the cook is not delicious. It always has a strange smell." Zeng Haorui raised his head and looked at his mother aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Chang Pingning opened his mouth to tell the Zeng family mother and son in front of him about the possible preparation of this small bucket of seafood.

Conch is relatively simple, it can be grilled or steamed, or you can even slice the conch meat separately and fry it with noodles.

As for what is buried in the sand, it is most likely shellfish such as clams, which are usually cooked in soup, but some people are willing to bake them.

While Chang Pingning was talking, he heard a growling sound from his stomach next to him.

Chang Pingning looked at Guo Bomo, who looked at the other children catching up on the beach; Chang Pingning looked at Mrs. Zeng, and Mrs. Zeng looked at her son.

Zeng Haorui noticed his mother's gaze, covered his stomach with some embarrassment, and looked at Chang Pingning: "Oh, what you said is so sweet. Go back and make a table for me." After saying that, he wanted to pull Chang Pingning away. beach.

"Zeng Haorui! Don't move your hands or feet! Please pay attention, you are not at home now! Madam Guo is not the maid sister at home." Mrs. Zeng immediately scolded, "There are other people here who are rushing to sea."

Chang Pingning didn't expect Mrs. Zeng's expression to change so drastically. She thought Mrs. Zeng was really angry. She looked at Mrs. Zeng in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zeng winked at her.

After the round-faced young master Zeng Haorui heard the scolding from his mother, he put the keg at his mother's feet, ran to the children who were still picking up things, and shouted loudly.

"Hurry up and pick it up, we will have delicious food soon! Madam Guo can cook anything! Whatever we pick up, she will cook it!"

Not long after, Chang Pingning saw many young ladies and young masters holding small buckets in front of them. Each one of them asked Chang Pingning to look at their buckets.Mrs. Zeng, who was standing next to Chang Pingning, was a little embarrassed. She pretended to glare fiercely at Zeng Haorui, but her brat just made a face at her.

The group of people started walking from the seaside to Guojiacun.

"Ms. Guo, I'm sorry. This brat of mine is greedy and will keep you busy for a while longer." Mrs. Zeng said sincerely.

Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo looked at each other, smiled and said that they should.Both of them knew that the other party was a guest of the Liu family, and even if they made any embarrassing request, they could not refuse it outright.

"It's nothing. You young masters and young ladies are weak, didn't pick up anything, and you can do it quickly." Chang Pingning said.

After listening to Chang Pingning's words, Mrs. Zeng became even more embarrassed: "Well, Madam Guo, if you mention the processing fee, just think that I paid you to process it."

After hearing the other party's request, Chang Pingning was a little stunned: Did Meng Xia mention the processing fee?

"No need." Chang Pingning didn't dare to be stunned for too long, thinking that the other party was a guest of the Liu family, so it was always more appropriate to refuse first.

"If you don't say anything, Mrs. Guo, then I will make the decision directly? How about a hundred cents?" Mrs. Zeng held the money bag in her hand and was about to open it.

"Too many." Chang Pingning said, "I only have about ten yuan to process oysters at the port, but I sell them to the merchants who come and go. They are all rough guys. Unlike Mrs. Zeng and Young Master Zeng, I have never cooked food for noble people..."

"What kind of noble people are we? In a small place like ours where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, what kind of noble people are we?" Mrs. Zeng laughed at Chang Pingning's words and thought to herself that the real noble people can be found in their village.But he didn't say it.

Chang Pingning smiled, knowing that Mrs. Zeng was being self-effacing, and continued: "Let's do this, I charge ten cents for processing, ten cents per bucket. I just heard that the young master is quite tricky. If you and the young master think If the food I processed doesn’t taste good, I don’t need to pay the processing fee.”

The other nobles walking beside had their own plans in mind.

Some ladies saw that the place where Chang Pingning took them to catch the sea today was much smaller than usual, and they didn't want to pay processing fees at all.

And when some people saw Mrs. Zeng taking the initiative to give money, they felt a little disdain for Mrs. Zeng, thinking that she wanted to use this opportunity to please Mrs. Guo and then the Liu family.They were worried that when Mrs. Guo realized this, she would start asking for high prices.

Fortunately, when everyone heard about Chang Pingning's method of charging processing fees, they took a high look at Chang Pingning and felt that Mrs. Guo was also a sensible person.

Some people even think that if the processing fee is ten cents per barrel, and if it tastes delicious later, it is okay to pay more money.

However, some people also thought that with the processing fee of ten cents per barrel, the Liu family might not know about the processing fee charged by the sea-going lady. If they paid more, they might be able to leave an impression in front of the Liu family.

Otherwise, why would they have nothing to do every day and always run to Liu's house.Moreover, the temperature has dropped in the past two days. How could anyone still want to catch the sea after the temperature has dropped?

On the way back, everyone's thoughts were turning over and over again.

Only the children and Chang Pingning and his wife thought simply. Chang Pingning was thinking about how to make buckets of seafood; Guo Bomo was thinking about how to help his wife remove the sediment from the clams; and the children, one by one, Everyone is looking forward to eating the seafood picked by themselves soon.
