Chapter 93
"His family wants to take it all to himself, but there is no way! Let's go to the elder brother tomorrow. His in-laws are well kept, and he was not the mediator in the matter of the field last time. This time, we will definitely be able to snatch the fish pond back." !" Fang made up his mind, thinking that the family would have more money to add to it in the future, and suddenly smiled like a flower.

Xu Nanyun lowered his head, the woman's statement was not without reason.The fish pond had been abandoned for many years, and there was still a dark red layer floating on it, emitting an unbearable stench all the year round.Under such circumstances, the fish pond is basically a waste, and naturally the fish pond will not be counted when the family is divided.Since there is no written evidence, this fish pond cannot be regarded as the second brother's family. "Okay." He agreed, and carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.Qiu Huai, who was busy with embroidery, kept her head down, and the needles and threads in her hands were flying at an extremely fast speed.

Sitting on the chair, Fang licked the melon seeds so loudly that the smile on the corner of his mouth never stopped.

Naturally, Xu's family also had to do some calculations.Qiu Feng, wrapped in a big padded jacket, carried the wooden basin from the stove room to the main room. After putting down the wooden basin, he brought back the face towel and foot towel.Seeing that Mother was still in a daze, she couldn't help calling: "Mother, wash your face and feet. Didn't you say that your head hurts today and you want to rest earlier?" Restraint, although the voice is quiet, but the words are not pitiful, and there is no timidity when interacting with others.

Yu raised her head, glanced at Xu Nanhai who was busy washing her face, and pondered: "Dad didn't write down when he died, saying that the fish pond belongs to the second brother's house, right?"

Xu Nanhai, who was busy at the side, was stunned when he heard Yu's inexplicable words, "The fish pond has been abandoned for so long, and no one wants it for anyone. Naturally, there is no written evidence. But it's good, you ask this to do it. What?"

Mrs. Yu laughed, "You idiot, since the fish pond is not owned by the second brother's family, it means that we all have a share, so why should the second brother's family monopolize it? Let's talk to the eldest brother's family tomorrow, and we will Bring back the fish pond. My sister-in-law is also a shrewd person, so they must be discussing this matter."

"However, last time we robbed his family's field, I still feel guilty. Every time I look at the smiles on other people's faces when I work, I always feel that they are underestimating me. This heart is like a needle prick It’s hard. The fish pond was originally abandoned, and no one wanted it. It’s understandable for the second brother to use it. Let’s farm honestly, raise our daughter, and find a good family to marry. It doesn’t take much Are they all strong?"

Mrs. Yu suggested: "As far as the little Susukida in his family is concerned, the grain recovered is not enough to fit our teeth. It is good not to stick it in. Besides, didn't we take the rice from their family? That's fine." It's already two, we are not that heartless person! But did this family appreciate it? Our Afeng just wanted to follow them to the woods to pick some acorns and come back to eat the pigs, but the two of them The short-lived ghost humiliated Afeng in front of everyone. They are holding a grudge, what good is it for us to be nice to them, they don't appreciate it at all."

"Besides, this fish pond doesn't belong to their family in the first place. We just want to get back what we deserve, so what's wrong?" Mrs. Yu's mouth crackled.

Qiu Feng on the side tilted his mouth when he heard the words, and his eyes watered down.Thinking of the encounter a few days ago, Qiu Feng felt very uncomfortable.When she was eight years old, she didn't have any friends around her, so her biggest hobby was to eat and sleep soundly.Seeing cousin Qiuyue and the girls working together all day long, going to the river to basket fish to wash clothes, digging medicine roots and picking acorns in the woods, she also wanted to follow.It's just that my mother always restrained her and didn't let her have more contact with the second uncle's baby.Later, for some reason, Niang figured it out, and asked her to pick up acorns together, but who knew that Qiulin and the others disliked her and refused to let her go with her.

The more Qiu Feng thought about it, the more sad she felt. Could it be that she was so annoying?

Mrs. Yu came over to comfort Qiu Feng in a hurry, hugged her into her arms and lied, "Look, look, it's all right now, and made my daughter cry! Anyway, we must fight the second child's family for the fish pond to the end, they Don't think about being monopolized! Look, even if we don't say this, my sister-in-law will never let the opportunity to make money slip away so easily? Instead of letting her family take advantage of it, why don't we join in and take advantage of it? Occupation?" Anyway, if you don't take it, you don't take it, the elder brother and Lizheng in the village are relatives, so it goes without saying who the heart is for.

Xu Nanhai looked at Qiu Feng who was still sobbing and sobbing, and frowned, "Okay, don't cry, your grievances won't be in vain, after the fish pond is brought back, I will let your mother give it to you." Make fish and eat."

Qiulin's family had been exhausted all day, and they all fell asleep as soon as they touched the edge of the bed. Naturally, they slept soundly and deeply. They didn't know anything about the hidden thoughts of these three families.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone had to get up and work again. The lotus roots piled up in the yard weighed at least a thousand catties. The mud had to be wiped off quickly and sold in the town.

This day, Mei Xiang and the others also came to help.Knowing that Qiulin's family has been busy these days, anyway, it's winter now, and there's nothing wrong with staying at home, so I decided to come over to help.Otherwise, the first few people in Qiulin's family were busy, and they didn't know that they would be busy until the year of the monkey.

A lot of people really means a lot of strength, and it didn't take long for everyone to wash out more than 300 catties of lotus root.The lotus root that has been rubbed off the mud will become white and fat. These lotus roots should be sold quickly. Although it is a big winter, it is just stored for a long time, and the water will dry up, so it will not taste good.

"Let's wash these first, we have to run to the town again this afternoon, and sell these lotus root as soon as possible."

"Qiuyue, let me go too. The silk flowers I made last time are easy to sell in the town. I'll go to the tailor's shop and pull some silk. I'll make silk flowers and sell them in the town."

"Okay, as many people as there are multiple companions." Qiuyue nodded happily.

After lunch, Qiuyue went to Wang Er's house to rent an ox cart again. This time, I rented two carts. I still used wooden barrels to pack lotus roots. A wooden barrel can hold tens of catties of lotus roots.

When they arrived in the town, Qiuyue asked Heyi, "If you are in a hurry, if you buy silk, you can go home by yourself. We don't know when we sell lotus roots here. If you want to follow us, we may not be able to go home until very late."

He said with a smile: "It's okay, there's nothing to do when I go home anyway, and I'll help you sell it."

Qiu Song first accompanied He Yi to a tailor's shop to buy silk, while Qiu Yue and the others went to the nearest inn and restaurant.Even if ordinary people sell lotus root, at most ten catties will be enough to eat. Although the prices of these inns and restaurants are lower, but the sales volume is higher, which is better than squatting on the street and hawking.

I went to two inns and sold forty catties of lotus root.

"You are the kids who sold the fish yesterday. The fish in your family is really delicious. The customers say it's good after eating it. I think the lotus root from this kind is not bad. It's winter, and things can be put away. Alright, I want thirty catties." Arriving at another restaurant, the shopkeeper was sharp-eyed, and saw that they also came to sell fish yesterday.

Qiuyue smiled kindly, "Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper." Putting the hundreds of copper coins from the sale into her pocket, Qiuyue walked out of the restaurant just in time to see Qiusong and Heyi coming over.

"How is it? Is it good to sell?" He Yi came over and asked first.Then he turned his head and looked at the wooden barrels on the bullock cart. One wooden barrel was already empty, and the other one was filled. It seemed that they were selling well.

Qiuyue nodded, "Well, it's not bad. It's just that there are so many lotus roots in the house, when will they be sold out?"

"Don't worry, cabbage is the only fresh vegetable you eat in this winter. Lotus root is not that unpalatable thing, it must be easy to sell." He agreed to encourage her.

But when she thought of the hundreds of catties of lotus root piled up at home, Qiuyue couldn't be happy. "hope so."

"Elder Sister, Elder Sister Yiyi, have you ever eaten salt and pepper lotus root, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root?" Qiu Lin also felt that selling lotus root one by one was not only troublesome but also a waste of time, and those people wanted less. When will so many lotus root be sold out.

"What is that?" Qiuyue thought for a while, but really didn't know what the little girl was talking about.

Heyi also touched his head, and shook his head at Qiulin.

Qiulin pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, these two methods are quite simple. One is to fry them in oil, and the other is to fill glutinous rice in the lotus root holes." She just needs to know if there is such a delicious food in this area. The method becomes, and the production method does not need to be repeated here.It's not good to be listened to by caring people.

Qiuyue agreed and Qiu Songqi shook his head, "The lotus root can still be eaten like this. I thought the lotus root can only be eaten in stewed soup or stir-fried."

Hearing what they said, Qiulin still had no idea.But soon he had an idea, "Let's go, let's go to Qingfeng Building."

Qiuyue and the others are stunned again, is Qiulin having a convulsion? "Little sister, there are special suppliers for the ingredients in Qingfeng Building. Didn't we try it yesterday? Others don't accept our fish. Is it okay to accept our lotus root today? It's not the same if we go. Is it a waste of time?"

Qingfenglou is the largest restaurant in this town. The owner has opened several restaurants in these four towns and eight towns, which are equivalent to modern chain stores.Now it has developed a very large scale. They have professional farms and special suppliers of other ingredients. It can be said that they integrate production and sales. In these ten towns and eight villages, they are relatively well-known restaurants.This Qingfeng Building is full of people coming and going, which shows that the business is also very good.
