Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 57 Destroyed
To be able to build houses and buy land on the shore, to be able to save some furniture for their children, to be able to eat and clothe themselves warmly, is already the biggest luxury for many people.

How dare they have other ideas.

The land in Jiangjiaba is not cheap, and one mu of good paddy fields can be sold for 12 taels of silver.What's more, there are no hills near the water in Jiangjiaba, the fields are flat, and the water source is convenient, so there is almost no wasteland.Even the beach that is closest to the lake and is easily submerged when it rains often costs more than three or two, and you have to mine it yourself.

Cheap beach land is cheap, and there are very few people who can buy it.

The reason why the beach is cheap is that it is easy to be submerged when it rains heavily in summer.

The land on both sides of the Huaihe River is flat and wide, and the water source is abundant. The fertile land is mainly rice.Sow seedlings around the Dragon Boat Festival and harvest around Mid-Autumn Festival.

During this period, it happened to be a rainy summer.There is no water in the paddy field, and it is impossible to submerge the seedlings if there is too much water.

The rice that has been planted, maybe when it is harvested, a heavy rain will wash away all the hard work.

No farmer who lives by farming can afford this loss.

On the contrary, Jiangjiaba’s homestead is not expensive, and an acre of land is only five taels of silver. If you want a front and back yard, which is more spacious, you can buy a large piece of land for at most a dozen taels of silver.

In addition to building a house and making furniture, the total will not exceed 30 taels.

It may be even less in the countryside.

30 taels, you can change to a safe place.It looks simple, but relying on Lu Quan to fish, it is difficult to feed and clothe the family, let alone buy land and build a house.

Of course, it is better to buy a house that can live in the front shop and the backyard. Jiangjiaba is a small place, and the people who live here are all born and bred locals. Few people sell houses, let alone houses with pavements.

That kind, you can't grab it even if you want to grab it.

The prices of shops in small places are not high, but the price is no longer the reason for wanting to buy them.

However, Lu Quan and his wife did not have such lofty ideals. They just wanted to have a few acres of land and a house that could shelter them from the wind and rain, and they were already satisfied.

Seeing that Lu Yange was a little unhappy, Lu Quan thought she wanted money, so he quickly took out a dime of silver from his pocket: "This is for you, you can spend it however you want."

This child was raised in gold and silver in the past, and he suffered so much with them because he couldn't eat enough or wear clothes.

After finally having some spare money in his hands, Lu Quan didn't want the child to wrong him.

Lu Yangge turned away and refused: "Father, I don't want it."

"Take it."

Lu Quan stubbornly put the silver coin into Lu Yange's pocket, thought for a while, and put two more copper coins in it.The child is still young, and the copper plate is still practical.

"Don't tell your second sister."

Lu Quan smiled and patted Lu Yange's head, "Your second sister is not bad, but she is a little narrow-minded."

"Father, how can you say that about Second Sister?"

Lu Yange looked at Lu Quan unhappily while holding the biscuits, "Second Sister is very good, Second Sister is the best."

"exactly……"

Lu Quan laughed: "Your second sister is fine."

How can it be bad?
Since childhood, the second girl was raised as a boy.

She has known to protect her sisters since she was a child, so she has developed her current temperament!

The embankment of Honghu Lake is very wide, with thick green shade on both sides
The wind blows from the opposite side of the lake, rolling white waves, one wave after another.

The splashed water vapor is like rain, fine and soft.

The scorching sun rose high, and the hot sun fell on the empty lake like shattered gold.

Lu Quan took Lu Yange's hand, looked at the golden light shining on the vast lake, and a kind of vigorous hope suddenly rose in his heart.

If life can continue like this, maybe it will really get better and better.

Once, he also had a dream.

For example, set up a small shopkeeper's stall, earn more money, and work harder to open up a few more pieces of wasteland...

It's not like it is now, in order to survive, in order to have enough food, I have tried my best.

"father."

Lu Yange shook Lu Quan's hand, shattering his fantasy: "If those uncles come to ask how to make eel cages, you should teach them too."

"what?"

Lu Quan trembled with fright, disillusioned, and almost threw the child in his arms.

This brat, why is every word he says so scary?

As soon as he had some good expectations, she could pull him into the naked reality with a single word.

"Xiaosi, it's not that father doesn't want to teach. You have to know that if you teach an apprentice, the master will starve to death."

After teaching others, how will our family earn money in the future?
Of course, I didn't know how to weave eel cages to catch long fish before, and his family came here like this.

But it's different now, this eel cage is only taught by his family's junior, as long as he doesn't teach it to others, he can earn more money.

"Father, we use eel cages to catch long fish. Everyone has seen it. They don't know how to do it now, but they will learn it sooner or later. Instead of letting them learn it secretly, it's better for us to teach it openly."

"But..." Lu Quan was still unwilling.

Lu Yange kept talking, and continued: "Our water area is in good condition. Honghu Lake is connected to the Huaihe River. There are many river beaches and rice fields. You have learned that as long as you don't set eel cages in one place, you will get something, just like we do fishing. .Everyone has boats and fishing nets, and they are not next to anyone, right?"

Although Lu Quan wasn't very smart, he didn't think Xiaosi's words were right.

"But if there are fewer fishing boats and fewer people fishing, wouldn't our family be able to catch more fish and earn more money?" Lu Quanyue said more and more that he felt right, "Look at this long fish, today I will go to the fish with two buckets of long fish. The restaurant sold more than two taels of silver. If everyone catches them, not to mention the more long fish and the cheaper prices, we will definitely not be able to catch that much."

"Father, there are too many long fish. Doesn't Lai Fushun have many branches? You can ask shopkeeper Li to deliver them to other branches. As long as Lai Fushun's long fish feast is famous, you are afraid that Lai Fushun's owner will not want eels. ?"

Lu Quan's head was buzzing immediately. He didn't know whether Lai Fushun would buy their prescription, but he had already calculated to this point?

Lu Yange took a small piece of biscuit from his arms and chewed it slowly in his mouth: "Besides, our family doesn't make money by catching long fish."

Lu Quan was stunned: "Then what?"

Lu Yange laughed: "Selling eel cages can also make money."

Lu Quanmo was silent: "But, didn't you mean to teach the uncles around you, if they know it, who will buy our eel cages?"

"Father, you have to take a long-term view."

Lu Yange patted Lu Quan on the shoulder like a little adult: "Our family can only sell a few eel cages, but if the uncles and uncles around know how to do it, we can sell the eel cages to the whole Jiangjiaba, and we can sell them to Nanyang County, sell it to Dongyang County. If everyone in Jiangjiaba knows it, then we can sell eel cages to Huaicheng, Yangzhou, and Beijing.”

Lu Quan's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally even his eyes widened.

God!
This... this child is too... too whimsical.
