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

Just as Chang Pingning was explaining to the nobles in the Guo family yard how to bake things with a small charcoal stove, she heard Meng Xia's voice coming from the door of the yard.

"Ms. Chang, are you busy?" Meng Xia opened the Guo family's courtyard door and walked in.

Standing next to the small charcoal stove and barbecue grill, Chang Pingning noticed that Meng Xia's eyes were full of joy.

"Great, your barbecue grill can still be used!" Meng Xia's expression was very happy.

After seeing Meng Xia, the ladies in the Guo family's courtyard subconsciously looked behind Meng Xia. As expected, the Liu Qingwan they were expecting was standing quietly at the door of Guo's family.

When the ladies saw Liu Qingwan, they all stood up straight and prepared to salute Liu Qingwan.

"No need." Liu Qingwan noticed their movements and nodded to them, even as a simple hello.

Chang Pingning was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you will start processing seafood today?" Meng Xia looked very happy.

Liu Qingwan also looked at Chang Pingning with approval.

Chang Pingning was a little embarrassed: "I didn't tell you in advance, and I forgot to tell you after I agreed..."

"It doesn't matter." Meng Xia's tone was very brisk, "Why are you all gathered around the barbecue grill? Are you planning to have an open-air barbecue?"

He didn't seem to care that Chang Pingning didn't notify them in time and took over the processing job without telling them.

"What is open-air barbecue?" Chang Pingning didn't understand.

"Ah, it's nothing, don't worry about it." Meng Xia stuck out her tongue a little recklessly. She looked at the ladies around her and found that everyone was talking around Liu Qingwan. No one noticed her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. .

Meng Xia asked Chang Pingning to take her to see what seafood would be processed today.

As the two walked to the kitchen, Meng Xia simply explained to Chang Pingning what "open-air barbecue" was - barbecue under the sky.

Chang Pingning nodded in understanding. She felt that there were always some novel things popping up in Meng Xia's head. Maybe Meng Xia could find a way to speed up the clams in the basin to spit out sand.

"Why is there so much sand..." Meng Xia's tone was full of regret.

Chang Pingning sighed inwardly. It seemed that Meng Xia had no way to solve the problem of the clam spitting sand slowly.

"Mom went to Aunt Qiuhong to ask for clams." Chang Pingning explained, pointing to a small plate of conch meat on the stove, "This is fried conch meat. It was originally intended to be mixed with noodles or rice; then There are a few crabs on the side..."

Meng Xia nodded while listening, and finally wondered: "Didn't you pick up oysters, scallops, and sea urchins that are easy to grill?"

Chang Pingning nodded and reminded Meng Xia: "Have you forgotten that we just decided this morning to enclose the land where they were chasing the sea so that they can catch the sea in a safe place? And the things you mentioned are not easy to pick up.

"Oysters and scallops are close to the sea. There is a high probability that there will not be any in that area today. Sea urchins are full of thorns. Even if the young master and the young ladies saw them, they probably would not dare to pick them up with pliers."

After Chang Pingning finished explaining, he saw Meng Xia's melancholy expression.

"Oh, I thought I could make another fortune by taking them to barbecue." Meng Xia's face was filled with regret.

Chang Pingning realized Meng Xia's money-making temperament and quickly told Meng Xia that she had promised the nobles in the yard that the processing fee for a barrel of seafood would be ten cents, to prevent Meng Xia from asking for excessive prices. "What? It's only ten cents!" Meng Xia shouted in disbelief.

"Shh." Chang Pingning gestured to Meng Xia, and then glanced warily outside the kitchen, fearing that the nobles in the yard would hear him, "Don't be anxious yet, listen to my explanation..."

"Okay, then you can quibble." Meng Xia's expression was very disappointed, as if he had lost a large box of treasure.

Chang Pingning didn't understand where Meng Xia's love for money came from, but she felt that Meng Xia's words were more like a joke than genuine anger.

Chang Pingning told Meng Xia that she had no experience in cooking for nobles and did not dare to charge such a high price, so she charged a processing fee compared to the price of processing oysters.

"Hey, what do you want me to say about you?" Meng Xia shook her head as she listened, "You don't need to have experience cooking for nobles. As long as you ask for a high price, they will acquiesce that you are Liu Qingwan's. , this money will eventually go to 'Miss Liu', and they are eager to have something to do with the Liu family."

Chang Pingning nodded in understanding: "Are they bribing Miss Liu through me?"

"Ah?" Meng Xia laughed in disbelief after hearing Chang Pingning's words, "Haha, it's not a bribe, at most it's a good sale. Bribing Liu Qingwan? These people are not qualified." Meng Xia said with disdain. Shaked his head.

Chang Pingning couldn't understand that among the noble people she had recently brought to the sea, they were all prominent figures in the town.For example, today's mother and son of the Zeng family, she guessed, were they from the wealthy businessmen in the town and from the family of Zeng Yuan.

Meng Xia took the opportunity to teach Chang Pingning how to ask for prices in the future: "Ms. Chang, didn't you say before that you charge the processing fee based on the price of processing oysters? From now on, you will say that the price is the price of processing a barrel of oysters. , anyway, they will give you a bucket to process after picking it up."

Chang Pingning was surprised. She didn't expect that the processing fee could be so high.The processing fee for an oyster is fifteen cents. A bucket can hold more than 20 oysters. Three hundred cents?The processing fee for a barrel of seafood?
Thinking of this, Chang Pingning looked at the clams and razor clams spitting sand in the basin with some disbelief. For just these things, plus a large conch or crab roe, it would cost three hundred yuan for processing. Isn't it illegal? Too much?

Meng Xia followed Chang Pingning's line of sight and saw the clams in the basin. There were not many of them. He laughed twice awkwardly: "Haha, you can quote the price later. I picked up these things today and received three hundred." Wen Ye is indeed outrageous."

Chang Pingning laughed when he saw this, and flattered Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan: "It will be just like that from now on. Didn't you two come here specifically to support me today?"

"You still see it?" Meng Xia pretended to be surprised and raised her head with pride, "Then you will definitely benefit us in the future."

Chang Pingning was amused by Meng Xia's pretentious actions, and nodded to Meng Xia with a smile.

Guo Bomo happened to walk into the kitchen at this time, and saw his wife and the Liu family's cook laughing and having fun, and felt a little weird.

"Ning Ning, mother is back." Guo Bomo reminded.

"Okay, come on." Chang Pingning turned to Guo Bomo and smiled sweetly, then looked at Meng Xia, "Would you like to see the clam?"

"No, just make two soups. The processing fee of ten yuan is not worth my effort." Meng Xia shook his head pretending to be regretful.

Chang Pingning made a face at Meng Xia when she saw this. She knew that Meng Xia was just pretending.Then he walked towards Guo Bomo at the door.

When Guo Bomo saw Chang Pingning walking toward him, the Liu family's cook turned her head and looked at her kitchen, as if she was looking for something, and she still looked as if no one was around.

Guo Bomo became wary and pointed the direction to Chang Pingning: "Mom is over there. If you feel uncomfortable, ask your second brother to help you. I'll wait for you here."

Chang Pingning blinked and didn't understand why Guo Bomo didn't go with him. Didn't this man just beg to stay in the kitchen to help him?
For some reason, Guo Bomo felt very good when he saw Chang Pingning's confused expression. He approached his wife and whispered in her ear.

"The kitchen should be reserved for one's own family."
