Wen Family Has a Wife

  Chapter 44 Preliminary Study

Wen Youshan was a little interested, seeing that the mother and son listened with relish, and then said: "I was so happy at the time, don't you think this is just dozing off and looking for a pillow! Since the other party is interested, I have to buy it back. It was impossible, of course I sold him. Later, when the young man asked me the price, I was in trouble.

Usually when people sell things, people bid first. I really don’t know what to say when I ask for this price. Thinking that the price that the restaurant offered was less than a tael before, I thought about saying one or two and a half, but I didn’t wait for me to speak. , that son-in-law can't wait any longer, and directly asked the servant to give me three taels of silver, saying that he wanted all those things.

When I was packing up and preparing to leave, the back door of the brothel opened, and the steward who bought me wild boars came out and saw that he clearly recognized me. She saw that the things that were supposed to be sold to her were taken first by the son, and she was so angry that she could not speak. It was sour water, and he told me to knock on the door directly next time when I had something good, and someone would come out to entertain me at any time.

   Honestly, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the time, no matter if it was a restaurant or a brothel, at least there was a fixed buyer who was generous.

At that time, when I delivered the things to the mansion of the young master, the lady took a look and kept complimenting our shrimps and crabs for being fat and plump, and said they could give them away, and then gave me 50 wen as a reward, and said that they would be good in the future. Let me send things to the house. "

As long as Wen Youshan thinks of today's "great achievements", his whole body is full of enthusiasm. The noble people who were unattainable to him in the past do not seem to be that far away. Of course, the more important thing is to sell things in the future with these two big buyers. It can also save a lot of time.

What he didn't know was that after seeing the seafood, the old man decided to hold a seafood banquet. He also invited a chef who is good at cooking seafood. The banquet was well received by the guests, and some people even asked around to find out which fishing village they bought the seafood from. of.

When the old man heard this, he pushed his grandson out and said that he was filial. As a result, he was surrounded by a group of people and didn't know how to speak. He couldn't say that he went to the brothel in the daytime and took it from the brothel. When he said that his grandfather could beat him to death, the young master was sweating profusely and made a random excuse, intending to go back and get close to Cui Niang and inquire about the man's details.

  Wen Youshan didn't know how many people in the county were thinking about him. After talking about what happened to him one day, he took out all the money and gave it to Chen Ningya, and ran to take a shower.

  Chen Ningya took the money and went back to the house immediately, the speed was staggering, and there was no one who looked like she was about to die. Wen Yuanliang was the only one left in the main room.

The family of three took turns to wash and clean, Wen Yuanzhen quickly brought the hot assorted porridge, and said with a blushing face and a little uneasiness: "Mother and father, I put some shrimp and fish in the porridge, and mother's half-dried shell meat. and octopus."

   Chen Ningya's eyes widened instantly when she heard it, and she stirred the porridge twice before she breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you didn't cook my scallops."

   Wen Yuanzhen was startled, "Mother, what is a scallop?"

"Yaozhu is considered the best seafood among the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Not to mention the price, it is rare. There are many kinds of shells that can be used to make scallops, but only the large shells can find such a little meat that can be dried, which is the kind of grain. , about the size of a fingernail, that's a scallop." Chen Ningya nodded at Wen Yuanzhen's nose amusingly, and explained to the whole family what a scallop is.

  Others were stunned when they heard it, but Wen Yuanzhen was the first to react, ran out and quickly came in with a small bamboo basket, "Mother, is this what you said?"

Chen Ningya nodded slightly and sighed lightly: "You guys have seen it too, we have been busy for so long, and we have brought back so much shell meat, and the scallops dug out are only half a catty, and it is estimated that it will not even be half a catty after two days of drying. Arrived, this thing can’t help but be put away, it’s time to sell it when it’s dry. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of people to buy this thing, the owner, then you can find another high-end restaurant or restaurant and ask them how they charge it, and sell it if you can. For restaurants. It’s not that I don’t like brothels, but we need to cast a wide net, get to know more buyers, and take the initiative.”

  Wen Youshan nodded desperately and grinned: "This time I will go out and inquire about the situation of the school. If possible, send the boss to study first."

If Wen Youshan didn't dare to say so carelessly in front of the children before, he was afraid that the children would know that their expectations were too high, and they would be very disappointed if they couldn't afford it. He also has the confidence to earn the money he earned in one year. No matter what, he can pay for it for a few years. In short, their Wen family will definitely be able to read and write, and then they will become accountants. In the days to come Can't be wrong.

  Yes, Wen Youshan's idea is very practical. He didn't expect his children to take the exam or anything at all.

Since Chen Ningya said to send his children to study, he has been paying attention to this matter. Every time he goes out, he will inquire about some news. After going back and forth, he has a general understanding of the scholars in Qing'an County. There were five scholars, two of them were judging people, one was admitted at the age of 42, and the other was admitted at the age of 35. All of them became grandfathers and were praised as young talents.

   Think how much money you have to put into it? With his current ability, don't even think about it, as long as the children can read and write without being blind, the ancestral grave will be smoked.

  Wen Yuanliang's pupils shrank, he stood up in surprise, and knocked down the stool because he was so excited, "Father, can I really go to school?"

  Wen Youshan nodded with a smile, and then said solemnly: "Dad will naturally provide for you if you have the ability, but you have to strive for yourself and study hard. Don't embarrass your father."

   He originally wanted to say that he would be a bookkeeper after studying hard, but after thinking about it later, it was too early to say this, so he had to swallow the words.

Seeing that Wen Yuanliang was a little complacent, Wen Youshan immediately said with a straight face: "Okay, sit down and eat well, I have inquired about it, the school usually starts to accept people after the spring broadcast, and it is not winter yet, I take advantage of this time to be at home, Just follow me into the mountains a few more times, and have a good experience, and then even if you go home after studying, you will also go into the mountains with me to work, don't be lazy."

   He doesn't want to raise that kind of nerd who doesn't work hard. If that's the case, it's putting the cart before the horse.

  Wen Yuanliang suppressed his excitement and nodded vigorously. As long as he could go to the school, it would not be a problem to let him go to the mountain every day.

Speaking of entering the mountain, Chen Ningya's smiling brows and eyes were slightly raised, and she pondered: "Youshan, when we just came back, it seemed that we heard the howl of a wild boar, and the sound was extremely shrill, as if the thing was right beside us, but The wild boar didn’t attack us all the way, and after thinking about it calmly, I think the wild boar may have fallen into the trap you dug.”
