Chapter 6 Regular Clients
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Yang Feier and his two younger brothers made four more shrimp pots and went down to the river.

The next day, when it was still before dawn, Father Hu and Da Hu and his wife got up early to pick up the shrimp pots with a load of empty water buckets. The small fish they picked out were put in a basket and brought home by Mrs. , All other river prawns are picked to sell in the market.

The number of shrimp cages has doubled, and the number of river shrimps has also doubled today, so I have to add more water to the bucket. It is still nearly an hour away from the market. It seems that this kind of weight is appropriate in the future. If there are more Firstly, it is really difficult to pick, and secondly, I am afraid that we will not sell so many in the market.Besides, let the river prawns grow and recuperate, and the water will flow for a long time, so as to avoid overfishing.

The father and son took turns to pick it up, and when they arrived at the market, it was already dawn, and they placed the bucket next to the fish and meat stalls, and the two squatted beside the bucket waiting for buyers.

Unexpectedly, the luck was very good today. Chef Li Pang of Ruifuxian Restaurant in the market brought a few apprentices out to purchase, and by the way, taught the apprentices how to recognize the goodness of the ingredients and how to choose them.I was walking in the middle of the street, and when I saw Papa Hu, I felt very familiar.

Because he and Tang Zhengfu, the village head of Tangjia Village, are somewhat related, he was invited to handle the banquet where the village head built a house, married his daughter-in-law, and grandson. The old man who helped?There are two buckets on the street, what are they selling?
Chef Li Fatty walked over with a sharp sword, and shouted: "Father Hu, what are you selling!"

Seeing that Father Hu was so scared that he almost fell down, he was very proud and laughed. Father Hu straightened up and shook his eyebrows. He squinted and saw that he was an old acquaintance. How much meat is in the restaurant, and you are so energetic when you talk, what are you walking on the street this early in the morning?"

Chef Li Pang laughed and said, "What else can I do, let's buy vegetables and cook." He glanced at the bucket, "Yo, what are you selling? It's black in a bucket."

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a handful of prawns in the water. He stretched out his fat hands, and the prawns were crystal clear, about three inches long, alive and kicking.Li Fat Chef said: "This is a good thing, but it's hard to catch. How did you get so many?"

Father Hu said: "The three little grandchildren in the family have nothing to do and made a net to fish in the river. The family can't eat so much, so they sell it on the street."

What Mr. Hu said is true, but Chef Li knows that this shrimp is not something that can be caught just by fishing, but fish has its own way of fish and shrimp has its own way. It's easy to ask, but you can't ask.I copied a few more to have a look, and copied a few more in another bucket. I had a count in my mind, so I put aside my thoughts and said, "How many catties of shrimp do you have in total? How much are you going to sell for a catty? Come on, You two, it's better to close the stall and don't sell it, I'll make it round, and I'll give you as much as the market price, what do you think?"

Father Hu and his son certainly wished for it.Immediately, he picked up a bucket and followed Li Fat Chef.

Along the way, Chef Li Pang went into several shops, ordered some ingredients for the day, and asked the shop to deliver them, and then returned to Ruifuxian with his apprentice, Father Hu and his son.

After entering the back kitchen of the restaurant, he ordered someone to fish out the prawns and weigh them in two catties. The total was 23 catties and two taels, which was calculated as 23 catties. According to the market price of sixty Wen per catty, it was a total of one tael of silver and 380 big coins.

Chef Li Fatty was very enthusiastic, and he personally took Papa Hu to the accountant of the restaurant to settle the bill, and said: "In the future, if you have any more, you can send them here. In such a big restaurant, dozens of catties of shrimp can still be sold a day." Yes, if you have a banquet on a good day, I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

This point, Li Fat Chef is not bragging, this is a county town, all the powerful and powerful people in a county live in this area, and in the county town with a radius of two or three miles, the Ruifuxian restaurant is the largest , there are many dishes and delicious taste, but for those who have some family background, when they encounter weddings and weddings, they will go to Ruifuxian to set up banquets, which is grand.

Father Hu said: "The three little grandchildren in my family are fine at home, they just like to catch fish and shrimp, probably every day from now on."

Chef Li Fatty said: "It's okay, if you have it every day, you can give it to me every day. Anyway, if you don't give it away, I have to go out to buy it every day. Why don't you save some trouble for you, brother, so that you don't have to squat on the side of the street?" Weighing half a catty by a catty for a long time, I also save myself from having to make up the weight of half a catty here and there in the street, wouldn't it be good for both?" After finishing speaking, he patted Father Hu on the shoulder and laughed loudly, his face The fat on his chest was shiny with oil, and the flesh all over his body trembled.

Father Hu was very envious, and thought to himself: "This is really a blessed person." Chef Li Fatty slowly stopped laughing, with the smile still on his face, and whispered: "Father Hu, your family Those three little grandchildren are your family's money-giving boys, and with this income every day in the future, your family will be in luck."

Father Hu said with a smile: "In the past years, the family was very poor. I don't know when we will be able to settle the bill." He was walking to a place where there was no one, and Hu was wrapping up a temporary paper-wrapped hundred-cent coin. Tucking it into Father Hu's sleeve, he said with a smile: "I will spend a lot of time running here in the future. Thank you for your hard work with this little money. I will buy you some wine. Don't be too little."

Chef Li Fatty hurriedly declined, as if he was going to take out the money. Father Hu pressed it down, stuffed the money in again, and said in a low voice with a smile: "There is one more thing to trouble me, my family and I Whether it’s today or in the future, I hope my son will keep it a secret. It’s not easy for a poor family like us who only rely on farming for a living to earn some extra money. Brother Wanwang understands. "

Only then did Chef Li accept the gesture of paying, and said seriously: "It's not easy to understand, don't worry, I will never tell a third person about this, you just send it to me, and there is nothing to keep it. "

The one hundred Wen money was already discussed between the father and son on the way back. If you can do business in such a big restaurant, you must have a good relationship with Chef Li Fatty, not to mention that you need someone to discuss this matter. Keeping the secret, I decided that if anyone came here to sell shrimps in the future, he would give three Wen per catty to Chef Li Fatty. Today is the first day, so I will make up a whole number, and I will give him a few more times in the future, and he will be able to calculate it by himself. Check it out.

After all, the Hus and his sons took root in Tangjia Village by relying on the two principles of being tactful and kind.

The three of them talked to each other and said goodbye politely. Father Hu led his son out of the restaurant with an empty bucket and money in his pocket.

The father and son came to the street again, Dahu took out the so-called "purchasing list" that his daughter wrote to him last night, according to the above list, he bought meat, vegetables, various condiments, rice noodles and eggs, and spent a hundred yuan. In the end, although I felt a little distressed, after all, the money was earned by my daughter, who is so well-behaved and sensible. Thinking about it, I didn’t feel distressed anymore. I simply went to another jewelry store. The man’s family spent so much money. I spent twenty Wen to buy two silk flowers for my daughter, put them in the bucket together, and picked them back. It can be said that I returned with a full load.

When I got home, it was half an hour earlier than yesterday, and I handed over all the things in the two buckets to my daughter. While telling Yang Feier the amount of money he got, Da Hu sent the money to the bedroom and put it in the crock under the bed. Then the old father and son rushed to the fields again.

When Xiaoguang and Xiaochang came back from fishing for screws, the three of them made lunch together and sent it to the field, then sat on the side and waited for them to finish eating, and then collected the earthenware pots and chopsticks and took them back.Today's lunch is roasted tofu with oil residue and deep-fried small fish. Cut off the head and tail of the small fish, clean it up, mix it with seasonings, wrap it in batter, and fry it in a frying pan until golden. You can eat it directly. It is crispy. It’s delicious, but it costs oil, but now Yang Fei’er is not afraid of it. First, the money sold at home now is enough to eat oil for a year. Second, after all, after living in a modern society with abundant supplies for more than 30 years, I grew up in a well-off family and grew up to work. I also belong to the high-income group and have no concept of saving.

When frying small fish, the three children came again yesterday, Yang Feier gave them two fried small fish each, and then sent the three silly children away happily.It is expected that these three children will not talk nonsense when they go home, and the children who go to other people's mouths will be beaten.

Yang Feier also made an egg soup with mushrooms, vegetables, boiled a pot of rice, steamed a plate of pumpkin, and sprinkled a layer of sugar on the pumpkin.

When everyone was eating, Yang Feier sat on the side and looked at the green rapeseed and black wheat seedlings. It seemed that the scene that would mature in two months slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

Yang Feier was 12 years old under the parents of his grandmother, so he has a deep memory. At that time, the whole village began to heat up. People soaked rice seeds at home, let them germinate, sowed them in the fields specially cultivated for seedlings, and then began to harvest. Rapeseed and wheat, after harvesting, the entire field suddenly becomes empty, leaving only the harvested old roots of rapeseed and wheat, while water is poured into the field to loosen the soil, and the cattle start to plow the field.

There are only one or two cattle in a village, so you have to make an appointment with the owner of the cattle in advance and wait in line. It is a stall for drinking and eating, and his family has to send people to lead the cattle to graze and drink water. When he grew up, Yang Feier often thought that the term "cow coaxing" probably came from here.

The iron plow turned the land upside down, and those old roots were turned over to the lower layer to be buried, and slowly rotted to become fertilizer. Till carefully and sprinkle with fertilizer.

At this time, the seedlings are well grown, and the rice planting begins. Because the time for planting rice varies, and the cattle have to line up for use, so the time for planting rice seedlings also has a sequence, so the farmers go from house to house to help each other, and they come to help each other with good wine and good food. The scene of busy farming in full swing made little Yang Feier, who was a bystander, feel a little excited, and ran forward and backward.

I have tried pulling rice seedlings before, it is easy to do, I can learn it as soon as I learn it, and I am eager to go to the field to learn how to plant rice seedlings, but I didn’t pull out my feet when I stepped back, and I sat on the paddy field with my buttocks, which provoked all the adults behind me Laughing loudly, in the end, my uncle took me to the pond to wash my clothes and washed them clean.But that only rice planting experience, although it ended in failure, made Yang Feier unforgettable all his life.
