Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 29 Selling Fish for a Living
"Ah? I've eaten." Tian Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then put down the bowl again, went to the table beside the kang, grabbed a few candies, and stuffed them into Taohua's hands, "Then sister, sit with Taohua first , eat some sugar, and I'll pour water for you to drink."

Liu Yingchun saw Peach Blossom unwrapping candy wrappers, and Tian Xiaoyu busy pouring water, sitting on a stool to rest his feet, and said quickly, "Oh, don't be so busy, you and Yun Qing should eat quickly. It's okay if I come over , I’m going to take Taohua to her grandma’s house today, and by the way, bring your family’s Yuanbao too.”

"Bring Yuanbao?" Tian Xiaoyu was taken aback by Liu Yingchun's words. Is it appropriate for her to bring Yuanbao back to her mother's house?Although I said that I really wanted to send the ingots at their home first, "Auntie, isn't it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate, aren't you going to sell fish? It's not convenient to bring such a small number of children. Besides, Yuan Bao still has to call my mother aunt and aunt. They are all leaving their own relatives. What's the matter. "Liu Yingchun knew that Tian Xiaoyu cared, but she also sincerely wanted to help her share it.

In the morning, Gu Yunqing went to borrow an ox cart, and his husband was still a little reluctant, fearing that the car would be worn out, but his cousin didn't say anything and took five cents to come out. Now, the husband has nothing to say and has to think highly of himself As for the relatives of my natal family, it's not that I haven't borrowed my ox cart, but no one has ever given money to my family.

Besides, this time, Liujia Village, my natal family, happened to be on the way. It was much more convenient to go there in the ox cart in the morning, and then come back by car together after they finished selling their things.

Since Liu Yingchun said so, and Tian Xiaoyu also thought it would be good to let Yuanbao play, she agreed, "Then I will trouble my aunt, if Yuanbao is disobedient, you can discipline her."

"Mother, how can I be disobedient." Yuan Bao was drowsy, listening to his mother talking to his aunt and aunt, just after wiping his mouth after drinking, he heard his mother say that he was not good, and immediately became unhappy.

Liu Yingchun laughed, pulled Yuan Bao from the stool to her side and hugged her, "That's right, how could our Bao'er be disobedient?"

"Mother, what about me?" Taohua was eating sweets, but she didn't pay attention to these things. She suddenly looked up and saw Liu Yingchun holding Yuanbao, and immediately jumped on it.

"My Hua'er is also good." Naturally, Liu Yingchun couldn't neglect her daughter, and stretched out her hand to touch Tao Hua's head.

"My daughter is the most obedient. My daughter is helping my aunt to take care of my younger brother. Will my aunt buy you a headband when she comes back?" Tian Xiaoyu saw that Gu Yunqing had already eaten it on his own, so he moved a stool and sat with Liu Yingchun. .

When Taohua heard that Aunt Wenrou was going to buy a headband for herself, she grinned and said, "Okay, I will take good care of my brother."

After Gu Yunqing finished his meal, he carried the fish basin onto the bullock cart, and listened to Tian Xiaoyu's words, twisted some straw ropes, and took the fish basket with him.

Liu Yingchun and Tian Xiaoyu sat down with their two children, because it was the first time for Yuan Bao to go to his aunt's house, so Tian Xiaoyu cut a piece of meat and put it in a basket for Liu Yingchun to take with him.

Liu Yingchun got into the carriage and was stunned when she saw the two pots full of fish. She sighed that Gu Yunqing was amazing, and wondered if he could bring his family with him next time.

The fish in the Qingshui River were originally from the village, and Tian Xiaoyu liked this sister-in-law, so naturally he wouldn't hide it, so he had to promise that Songzhi and Baizhi would come over these two days and learn how to weave fish baskets with Gu Yunqing first.

Liu Yingchun happily agreed, and then put her heart back into her stomach. In fact, she didn't expect Tian Xiaoyu to agree so readily. After all, not everyone knows this crate of fish. If someone in her family learns it, she can't sell it. , It can also add a dish of meat to the dinner table, isn't it?

The ox cart was in the middle of the road, and Liu Yingchun got out of the cart with two children and a basket of meat. They made an appointment to meet here in two hours, and then Gu Yunqing drove Tian Xiaoyu and two pots of fish to the town. go.

Because there is a car, it saves a lot of walking, and when Tian Xiaoyu and Gu Yunqing drove the ox cart to the side of the vegetable market, it was not until noon.

Tian Xiaoyu has never bought fish before, so he doesn't know how to sell this fish, but after thinking about it, this fish is not easy to catch, otherwise how could there be so few people selling fish, so why would he buy fish more expensive than meat? Can it be?
After discussing with Gu Yunqing again and again, the two of them set the price, fifty yuan for the big fish and thirty yuan for the small fish. In fact, each small fish weighs two to three catties, and the average price is only ten cents a catty. It's not as expensive as pork belly, and the fish basket also costs three Wen a piece.

The price was set, but the two of them had never done any business, let alone yelled, and instantly became overwhelmed with big eyes and small eyes.

As the saying goes, the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Although this fish is not a rare item, there are not many people who sell it. When they suddenly saw two large pots of fresh fish, they would come to ask the price, but many people heard the high price. He touched his pocket and left.

When Tian Xiaoyu was a little depressed, he heard a familiar voice, "Isn't this the Gu brother and the Gu family lady?"

As soon as Tian Xiaoyu raised her head, she saw Xie Shi's spring-like face, "Ah, why is Shopkeeper Xie free to come to the market today?"

When Gu Yunqing saw Xie Shi coming, he didn't say anything, but the smiling expression was not ugly at the moment, but it was definitely not good-looking either. Anyone who has peeped at his wife is not a good person.

"I'm hungry, I'm thinking about going out to see if there is any fresh food to eat, maybe I will meet you." Xie Shi still had that smile that can make people tired, and then squatted down to look at the fresh food in the wooden basin. The fish swallowed and said, "How do you sell this fish?"

"Fifty yuan for the big fish, thirty yuan for these smaller fish. The portion is plenty, and you can't buy it at a loss." Tian Xiaoyu saw that someone finally paid attention to his fish, and regardless of whether the visitor knew him or not, he kept the original price. The price was quoted again, very loudly.

It's not that Xie Shi has never eaten fish in Qingshui Town, but this fish is sold by Tian Xiaoyu, so he wanted to buy some, "How about one big fish and two small fish?"

"Shopkeeper Xie really knows the goods. My husband-in-law just caught the fish in our house this morning. It is very fresh. You are so straightforward. This is our first business. I will charge you [-] Wen for the three fish!" Thank you Tian Xiaoyu was not stingy with such a straightforward understanding, but this time his voice was a little louder.

Now people really gathered around, after all, the fish in the wooden basin were fresh, and it cost [-] yuan to buy three fish, each at least two to three catties, so it was much more cost-effective than buying meat.

Gu Yunqing swiftly picked the fish, strung it up with a straw rope, handed it to Xie Shi and collected the money, Xie Shi took the fish, and was attracted by the fish basket on the bullock cart. Hearing that it was three pennies a piece, he immediately paid five pennies. Wen bought a bigger one and put the fish in it, which is also convenient to hold.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Yunqing praised Tian Xiaoyu's foresight. It seemed that he was right to listen to his wife!
　La la la la~~ I have been very happy today, hahaha
