My wife is a squeamish bag

Chapter 272 Just Wait For The Money

"But what's the problem? Just say it, the aunts are not so unreasonable."

Aunt Yin saw her embarrassed face and hurriedly said with a smile.

"It's not a problem, it's just this fish cage. It looks simple, but in fact it has a lot of specialties, and there is no guarantee that you can get fish every time."

As soon as An Beibei finished speaking, Qi Lushi gave her a cold look.

People come to ask for help, but she is fine. Before she can help, she will talk about the ugly first. Isn't this obviously offending people?

Qi Yingxue hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law is afraid of teaching everyone, if everyone fails to catch fish, they will be blamed instead."

"Oh, you were frightened by those bad-hearted people, right?"

Aunt Cai said cheerfully: "Don't worry, the rest of us are not those shameless ones who abuse people if they don't take advantage of it, right?"

Several other women hurriedly followed suit.

Only then did An Beibei feel relieved, and smiled as she put down the fish cage behind her for everyone to see.

"Actually, this fish cage is easy to say, but also difficult to say. The main reason is that the size and curvature of the opening and neck are all very particular. Otherwise, the fish will either not be able to get in, or they will run out if they go in."

"I really didn't expect that there are so many tricks in such a small thing."

Aunt Yin sighed.

"Yes."

The others also nodded in agreement.

"What's so difficult about it? It's much easier than carpentry."

Bao Hu said indifferently.

An Beibei's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Why don't you ask Uncle to make it up for everyone? It's very fast to make up, ten or eight a day is easy. I'm the one who made up this one in our family, Erlang Li ,soon."

"That's a good thing, brother Bao, you just happened to be troubled, so help to make up a piece of paper, will we all buy it from you later?"

Aunt Yin said cheerfully.

The young and middle-aged of their families have all gone to the camp, and the old ones are also in the camp, or like Qi Wencai, they can't carry their hands or shoulders. They wanted to do it themselves, but when An Beibei said it, they all backed down. .

Anyway, this thing is not difficult. As a fellow in the village, Bao Hu has always charged prices honestly, so naturally he will not ask for extravagant prices.

"Okay! Later, everyone will give me two pennies for my hard work. Then I will give Erlang's daughter-in-law a penny. This is his idea."

An Beibei quickly waved her hands, "No need, I'll just talk about it, Uncle Bao is the one who suffers."

Qi Lu's also said aside, "An's is right, she just kept talking and didn't do anything, absolutely can't ask for this money."

Bao Hu was the first to disagree.

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Everyone knows how to do it. Just use the brain. Together, we are not as smart as Erlang's wife."

"Hahaha, who's to say it's not? Listening to Mrs. Lu talking about eating fish every day, I'm so greedy! It's all worthless, let alone two, even five is worth it!"

Aunt Cai took the lead in saying this, and the others nodded in agreement.

Qi Lu couldn't shirk it, so he simply smiled and agreed on behalf of An Beibei.

After deciding on the fish cage, Mrs. Yin and her party sat for a while and left, and then Bao Hu got to the point.

"Erlang's daughter-in-law, you take these first."

As Bao Hu said, he took out hundreds of Wen from his pocket and handed it to An Beibei.

"Uncle Bao, what kind of money is this?"

An Beibei didn't reach out to take it, but asked the source first.

Bao Hu chuckled and said, "These are the little money earned from the tubs and cages that uncle recently picked up. After deducting my previous costs, we each earn half of the extra money."

Not to mention, Bao Hu looks simple and honest, but he is actually quite shrewd.

In this way, no one suffers.

An Beibei was also polite, took the money and said happily: "Thank you uncle."

"Thank you? This is what you deserve!"

Bao Hu scratched his head, and continued: "Uncle, tell you, the shopkeeper of the woodware shop in the county really came to me and asked me to work there, but I didn't agree. Later, he said that he asked me to remove the bathtub and the cage. Teach him, I think this is your idea, I have to ask what you mean."

An Beibei smiled and said: "Uncle Bao, didn't Erlang just say it last time, it's yours if you give it to you, you can do whatever you want, don't ask me specifically."

"How about that?"

Bao Hu said solemnly: "Uncle is not such an ungrateful person! But this matter, Uncle thinks about it, and it is not a white teaching anyway. If you get money, Uncle will take advantage of it, and you will be half and half with you."

"Brother Bao, look at what you said. If it weren't for your craftsmanship, Erlang's wife wouldn't be able to earn this money. In the end, our Qi family took advantage of it."

Qi Lushi spoke at the right time.

"If the county town learns it, will it steal your job?"

"Hey, I also pick up jobs in the surrounding villages, and I can't pick up a few in a year. Besides, I have done everything I am willing to spend money on. This thing is durable, and it can't be broken in ten or eight years. It's not me. That’s why I thought about teaching it to others!”

"It's true, uncle, I have no objection, you can do as you see."

"Come on, I'll talk to someone later, you just wait for the money!"

An Beibei smiled and said: "Okay, I'll wait until I share the money with my uncle to buy new clothes!"

After discussing the bathtub, An Beibei told Bao Hu how to make the fish cage and the precautions.

As expected, Bao Hu was a craftsman, and it made sense as soon as he said it. After making up the first one, he rushed home excitedly to chop bamboo.

When they went to the river the next day, An Beibei found that almost all the women who did the laundry had a fish cage in their hands. When they returned home, they met Xu Qiuyue who was also carrying a fish cage to the river.

An Beibei was fine, but Xu Qiuyue felt a little embarrassed, said hello to Qi Yingxue and left quickly.

The people in the village have tasted the sweetness of catching fish in the fish cage, and all of them are extremely enthusiastic about An Beibei.

Even the woman who was with the person who complained about her before greeted her with a smile.

About ten days later, she got another share from Bao Hu, and there were more than 300 or nearly [-] Wen.

It turned out that Bao Hu could weave nearly 30 fish cages a day. After the villagers sold them out, he turned his attention to several surrounding villages, and one of them sold for 3 Wen.

It is also true that no one has tried to make up their own, but except for a few who can succeed, most of the made up by themselves can't catch the fish, and they have to buy it from Bao Hu in the end.

The reason is actually very simple. People who want to save those two or three pennies are probably a little greedy. They only want to make the fish cage bigger and bigger, and naturally they can't care about other things.

In the next few days, An Beibei lost her mind about the caged fish.

There are fish cages everywhere by the river, and some people even have two or three.

But only the first one was bought from Bao Hu, and the others were of course made up by myself.

Fortunately, she deliberately asked Bao Hu to make the holes of the fish cage slightly larger, so that smaller fish can escape from the fish cage without worrying about ecological imbalance caused by overfishing by the villagers.
