Exile Transformation [Farming]

Chapter 116

Shen Yu and the others still had something to do, so they didn't go home after dinner, so they went directly to Songjiazhai.

It was a coincidence that I happened to meet Uncle Fa Cai.

"Uncle Fa Cai, where are you going? Do you want to take you for a ride?"

"Song Family Village, are you going to Song Family Village too?"

Songjiazhai is also called Songjiazhai, over there is Shen Ersao's natal family. I heard that there was a village before, but it was confiscated by the government, so I dare not call it Songjiazhai anymore, so it was changed to Songjiacun.

"Yeah, let's go to Song He to buy some fish fry, what are you going to do?"

"That's right, I'm going to buy some fry too."

"Uncle Fa Cai, are you thinking about raising fish again? Aunt Fa Cai didn't mention you?"

If Shen Facai gave up feeding the fish after being told by his wife, the rotten mud pond would not be able to be bought.

"You don't need to listen to what women say, as long as you're full, you'll be fine." Uncle Fa Cai said this boldly, but he was actually a little short of breath. Last night, the two of them almost had a fight because they needed to buy fish fry.

Shen Yu just heard that Shen Facai had a quarrel with his wife, and he can only lament that Uncle Facai loves feeding fish deeply.

"Boy Yu, when are you going to release the fish fry? Tell uncle and uncle will follow."

Shen Yu calculated the time, and it would take at least one and a half months.

"After the seedlings are planted, the rice will be alive! Anyway, the fish fry I bought are only about the size of a finger, and I can't eat rice. When the fish grows up, the seedlings will grow quite big."

"Hey, there is no pond today, and uncle will follow you to feed some fish in the field, otherwise there will be no fish in the New Year."

On the Songjiazhai side, they also found Song He and told him the number of fry they wanted.

"You want [-] carp fry?" Song He was not surprised by the number. Carp symbolize auspiciousness and wealth, and they are very easy to sell during the Chinese New Year. He guessed that they bought them for feeding.

"correct."

Uncle Fa Cai doesn't have so much. He dared to buy so much, and he didn't want to stop after going back for a month.

"I only want five hundred tails."

"Three thousand tails, one tael, five taels of silver, you have to pay five taels of silver."

Uncle Fa Cai nodded to them, and took out the money himself. His money was less, only 125 copper coins.

"It's time for you to get it."

The fish fry matter is settled, and the rest is Mu Jing's few mu of lotus root fields.

"Is there a place for this lotus root?"

"It's too much, the town will definitely not be able to eat it."

"Then I have to go to the county." Shen Yu was a little worried, "But there is only your ox cart, and my father and uncle's ox cart have been borrowed to plow the land. Otherwise, let me talk about it, borrow it first How many days?"

Seeing Shen Yu's anxious look, Mu Jing pulled him into his arms and hugged him, it was so soft and rare.

"No hurry, I have plans."

"What's your plan?"

"Aren't there merchant ships going south and north in the town? There are a lot of merchants."

After Mu Jing's reminder, Shen Yu knew what he was up to. The pier in the town was built only a few years ago. It was built by the Song family, and occasionally businessmen from south to north would stop by.

"Are you looking for those merchants or renting a cargo ship?"

"Looking for those merchants, and the merchants from Shangqiu?"

"How to say?"

"There is little water on the upper hill, and there is only the river that passes through Fucheng. There are very few lotus root plants, and the lotus root is in March, so it can be sold for a price no matter what."

Sure enough, within two days, Mu Jing brought back a bearded businessman, followed by a group of people, Shen Yu asked, "This is the Shangqiu businessman you were looking for? Is it reliable?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are reliable or not, what matters is when you get the money."

"how much?"

"Seven cents a catty, I'll sell him five thousand catties."

"What? So expensive?" Shen Yu asked again after being shocked, "But do you have five thousand catties of lotus root in your field?"

At this time, five thousand catties would be eight thousand catties, and Mu Jinglong only planted a total of more than nine acres.

This is much higher than what old man Shen and the others were talking about.

Mu Jing secretly showed a smug smile, but he saw that Shen Yu had a small silver box, and there were more than 300 taels of silver in it, which gave him a lot of pressure.

If it wasn't for the fact that his mother had stuffed him with a handful of money before leaving, Mu Jing felt that he should be very stressed now.

"Then you invited these people?"

"No, it was hired by someone. Just dig the lotus root, wash it and drag it away. This person will pay for it."

"Then he didn't make less money." A businessman is after profit, if he can't make money, Shen Yu doesn't believe that he will come.

The boss went to the rotten mud pond and took a look. He felt that he had been digging and transporting lotus root all day, and he was a bit late.So I simply asked the people in the village to help dig, and I paid [-] Wen a day, regardless of the meal cost, but I gave an extra two Wen as a subsidy.

Shen Yu felt that he was a bit stingy, so he whispered to Mu Jing, "He is so stingy, twenty coins a day, making people fall into the mud."

Seeing the two people being so close in public, old man Shen felt a little hot-eyed, and gave Shen Yu a look, "Pay attention to the occasion."

Shen Yu was baffled, why didn't he pay attention to the occasion, he and Mu Jing were separated by half a meter, and the two of them were only close to each other, why didn't they pay attention to the occasion.

"Ignore him."

"Really ignorant?"

"What do you want him to do?"

"He's down."

Shen Yu asked, "What is he doing down here, and he won't be paid?"

Shen Yu used his personality as a guarantee that the middle-aged boss would not give money to old man Shen who exceeded his quota.

"Do you want me to call him back?"

Shen Yu shook his head, "Forget it, he's just a person who can't sit still, so I'll go back and cook early, the boss will definitely have dinner at home."

Suddenly, Shen Yu thought of a question, pointed at the group of people brought by the boss, and said, "Where do they eat?"

"Don't worry about them, they all have dry food on them."

Shen Yu nodded, "Then I'll boil some water for them." Like the villagers, there are family members who can bring them water.But those who came here didn't even bring a water bottle with them.

"Go! I bought vegetables on the bullock cart, you cook more rice, and later call your parents over to eat together."

"Ah."

Shen Yu cooked a large pot of mung bean soup, added sugar, filled two buckets directly, and sent them over by bullock cart, and took two bowls from home, and handed them to Mu Jing directly when he arrived.

"There is no tea at home, so I went to Xiao Zhuang's house above to buy some mung beans and made mung bean soup."

"It's fine with you."

Mrs. Shen reckoned that there should be someone here. Before Shen Yu got home, she saw Mrs. Shen already busy in the yard, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Didn't the big boss come to your house? Mom just came over to see if you have anything to do here?"

"Hey, I was just looking for you?" Shen Yu took all the vegetables and meat to the yard to wash, "Mu Jing said that he asked you to come over for dinner with Dad today."

"Look, I bought a big stick of bone. I'll go to the field to get two lotus root later. I'll stew this lotus root together. This piece of pork belly is also used to stir-fry braised pork. It's been a long time since I've eaten braised pork." Shen Yu Still a little hungry.

"Why do you always want to eat?" Mrs. Shen said disgustedly, "Then do you want mushrooms? If you want, I'll go back and get them for you?"

Shen Yu: "Yes, when the time comes, add some boiling water to the braised pork, it will still be quite fragrant."

Shen Yu suddenly thought of tamales. He hadn't eaten them in ancient times.But Shen Yu couldn't remember how to make the tamales.

Forget it, let's talk about today's fooling around.
