After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 10 Selling fish in town

In the evening, the three Lin brothers came back one after another.

Lin Dayou strode ahead with the boat on his shoulders and a basket of fish in one hand.

He is only 15 years old this year, but his height has already reached 1.8 meters, which is rare in the countryside. He is also unusually strong.

This is probably because he inherited the good genes from his mother Lu Qianjin. Lu Qianjin is the daughter of a pig butcher from a neighboring village. She is naturally strong and has been taller than her peers since she was a child.

It's just that he has always been hungry in the past few years, which has made Lin Dayou skinny and skinny. The cheekbones on his face are protruding and his eye sockets are sunken, which makes his facial features look even more profound and sharp.

There is a maturity and stability in him that transcends his years.

Lin Sanfu was only 11 years old and not very strong, so he followed with some difficulty carrying a basket of fish.

When they entered the house, the two brothers couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

Today, the two of them went fishing on the lake in a boat. They used a fishing net borrowed from the village chief Uncle Shui Gen's house. They harvested a lot in one day and caught two baskets full of fish and shrimp.

Lin Yuniang, who was looking at the fire, happily greeted her, "Big brother and third brother are back! There are so many fish!"

He clapped his hands and circled the fish basket, with a happy and pure smile on his face.

Lin Chunniang came to the house after hearing the sound and saw Lin Dayou putting down the boat he was carrying on his shoulders.

pat!

There is a big fish in the boat!It is waving its tail lively.

The big fish was as long as a bench and almost occupied the entire boat. It was tightly tied to the boat with a straw rope. Lin Da almost failed to hold it down several times while walking back.

Lin Chunniang was overjoyed. She looked at the big fish as if she were seeing a pile of gold, and couldn't help but touch it.

"How did you catch such a big fish? How much would it cost?"

Lin Dayou couldn't answer because he didn't know. If he had to say it, he could only explain it as luck.

It seems that God wants to compensate the Lin family for all the luck they lacked before.

When Lin Erxi came back, she was also beaming, "Sister, I found a job today! I made money! It's a full twenty cash."

This day is a harvest and joyful day for the Lin family.

The smile on Lin Chunniang's face never fell.

"You guys sit down and warm up the fire, and I'll serve you some broth."

She came to the thatched shed outside the house and opened the lid of the pottery cauldron. In an instant, a rich and strong aroma of meat came out, which made her hair float.

The pottery cauldron conducts heat slowly, but after simmering for a long time on low heat, the wild goose meat inside has been stewed until it becomes crispy. You can probably put the meat into your mouth with a gentle suck.

Lin Chunniang swallowed hard.

The last time their family ate meat was three years ago.

After three years of not knowing the taste of meat, one can imagine how tempting this pot of meat is to her.

The aroma of meat is also accompanied by the tenderness and deliciousness of spring bamboo shoots.

She dug the spring bamboo shoots early in the morning, cut them into slices and stewed them with the wild goose meat in a pot, fully soaking up the fat and aroma of the goose meat.

A goose only has two legs. Lin Chunniang gave the two legs to the youngest Sanfu and Yuniang, and the two wings to Erxi and Cuiniang below.

She filled Dayou's bowl with several solid pieces of meat, while her own bowl contained some meatless parts, such as goose feet and necks.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Lin Chunniang couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup as soon as she sat down. The soup was so delicious that her eyebrows almost fell off.

From the stomach to the body, it felt hot all of a sudden, and my whole body felt extremely comfortable.

Lin Xi was sleeping - of course, only her body was sleeping, and her mental power was still learning in the holographic space - but she was suddenly awakened by the smell of meat.The aroma of wild goose meat is too overbearing.

It was so fragrant that it made her scratch her head.

But she couldn't eat, and she had to listen and watch the Lin family eat. What kind of torture was this!
Forget it, she should just study. There is everything in the holographic space, isn't it just spring bamboo shoots and goose stew?She can make a high-end version of stewed goose in an iron pot and put a few corn tortillas on it, and it will still be delicious.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Chunniang and Lin Dayou got up.

The two of them walked quietly in the dark to a pool near their home.

The pool was dug by Lin Dayou. He brought water from the river and piled large rocks dug from the mountain around it. This small puddle became a wild bathing pool for the family.

After all, their family was poor and had no money to buy a bathtub.

The fish caught by Lin Dayou and Lin Sanfu yesterday were temporarily kept in this pond.

Lin Chunniang was worried all night, fearing that the fish inside would die or jump into the nearby river and escape.

Fortunately, what she was worried about did not happen. When she reached in and fished it out, she came across densely packed fish.

The big black grass carp was awakened by her touch, and with a flick of its tail, it stirred up the boss's splash. The cold pool water slapped her face, but she was extremely happy.

His face was cold, but his heart was hot.

The siblings fished the fish out of the pond and planned to go to town to sell the fish.

Before setting off, Lin Chunniang went back again. When she came back, there was a swaddling clothes tied with a strip of cloth on her chest. In the swaddling clothes was Lin Xi, who was still asleep.

Lin Dayou lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, why did you bring Xibao here?"

Lin Chunniang: "Xibao is our family's lucky baby. If we bring her with us, we might be able to sell the fish at a better price."

Lin Dayou said nothing more and untied the boat. When Sister got on the boat, she propped up her pennies, and the boat left the shore smoothly.

If you take the land route, it will take at least an hour to walk from the village to the town, but it is different if you take the water route, which only takes about two-quarters of an hour.

Great time savings.

When the boat arrived at the town, the sky was slightly bright, but the town's pier was already bustling with people.

Although Mapu Town is only a small town, because it is located on a waterway, most of the ships coming and going will supply supplies here. Over time, it developed into a prosperous commercial town.

Especially here at the pier, there are a lot of people, and there is an endless stream of ships of all sizes coming and going.

The vendors shouted enthusiastically, and the aroma of the food penetrated directly into the nose.

Lin Chunniang and her sister came out without breakfast. When they saw the fragrant food, their stomachs started to growl.

"Let's sell the fish first, and when we get the money, we can buy two big white steamed buns to eat."

Lin Dayou: "Yeah!"

But how to sell this fish?

Lin Chunniang thought she had arrived early enough, but looking around, she saw that the area near the pier was almost occupied by traders, and they had no room to intervene.

It’s best to sell fish as soon as possible while it’s still fresh. Otherwise, the longer it stays in your hands, the less fresh it will be and the less likely it is to sell at a high price.

The siblings looked around, trying to find a place to set up their stall.

After searching around, but unable to find any empty seats, Lin Chunniang caught a glimpse of a restaurant flag with the words "Deyue Tower" written on it.

The restaurant is built along the river. There is a water gallery on the side of the river, which is convenient for guests coming by boat to enter. It can be regarded as the second door of the restaurant.

Restaurant... Lin Chunniang's mind suddenly opened up. Why do they have to set up a stall to sell fish?
Most people can't cook that big black fish after buying it, but it's different in restaurants. They can eat even the biggest fish, right?
