Chapter 58: Advice

The surprise in Lu Quan's heart could no longer be concealed.

He stammered and asked: "Then...he...they all learned it?"

Now that everyone has learned how to do it, who will buy their eel cages?

"Not everyone can weave eel cages, and not everyone has a bamboo forest. Besides, if we don't sell eel cages, we can sell other things."

Lu Sheige casually stuffed a small piece of sesame seed cake into her mouth and chewed it bit by bit. This sesame seed cake was so fragrant. It only cost three pennies to buy one. Her father felt a little distressed.

As for Lu Quan, looking at the sesame seed cakes held in Xiaosi's arms, he no longer felt as distressed as before.

In the past, the price of two yuan of sesame cakes was 3 cents, but now it has increased to 3 cents per piece. For the seven members of the family, except for Xiao Wu, a piece of sesame cake cost Lu Quan eighteen cents.

Eighteen cents, in the past, it was only this amount for him to carry a day's work at the dock.

Now, he felt even more distressed that the skills he had acquired would be given away to this prodigal mistress!

Then I don’t know how many eighteen cents were lost.

Lu Quan coughed slightly, and while convincing Xiaosi, he was also convincing himself: "Xiaosi, do you know how rare it is for Jufan to have a craftsmanship in his family? As long as we cover this eel cage for one more day, we can make more

Earn a lot of money. Even if your uncles learn it in the future, they will be like us and try their best to keep this craft secret so that no one can spy on it. If we teach others, we will not need our money in the future.

earn!"

"Dad, don't worry. As long as we can earn the first pot of gold from this eel cage, we can do anything in the future. Only when we have money can we do whatever we want."

She works so hard just so that she can eat and drink well and live a good life!

You can’t eat every sesame seed cake like now and don’t want to finish it in one big bite!

Lu Quan kept silent. How could he feel relieved? He was very worried now.

If everything was as easy as Xiaosi said, he and the brothers at Ye Pier wouldn't be so poor that they couldn't even eat.

Seeing that Lu Quan was still unwilling, Lu Xiangge continued to persuade: "Dad, think about it from the other side, if Uncle Li or Uncle Zhang knew this eel cage craft, what would you think if they were willing to teach you?"

No matter how you think about it, of course you are grateful and wish you could offer it to the other party.

"Dad, if you think about it again, sooner or later they will learn it anyway. Is it better for you to guard against it and let them learn it secretly in the end? Or is it better for you to teach them openly and let them accept your favor?"

Of course Lu Quan knew that it was better to teach them openly and let them bear the favor, but he was still a little unwilling.

"You can't..." Lu Quan hesitated for a moment and then sighed, "Forget it, you're right."

He doesn't teach the brothers at Ye Pier. As long as they can get the eel cage, they can learn it. It will only be a matter of time before they learn it.

Instead of hiding it and letting your eel cages be targeted, you might as well teach them and let everyone make money together.

Back on the ship, Lu Quan talked to Qiu in private about Lu Sheige's suggestion.

After listening to Lu Quan's stammering words, Mrs. Qiu only pondered for a moment before figuring out the key. As a woman, she was much more straightforward than Lu Quan: "You can teach me, but I'll tell Xiao Si first."

Those who learn to grow fish and vegetables should first negotiate with Shopkeeper Li on the price before teaching."

If shopkeeper Li is willing to accept the long fish dish proposed by Xiaosi, the demand for long fish from Lai Fushun will not be small in the future.

As long as Lai Fushun's long fish dishes can be made, a large amount of long fish will inevitably be needed.

At that time, they will no longer have to worry about the sales of long fish, nor will they have to worry about no one buying eel cages.

However, the premise of all this is whether Qiu's fish dish can pass the test of shopkeeper Li.

The next day, Lu Sheige kept the two barrels of long fish that Lu Quan had retrieved and kept them in clear water. Qiu and Lu Xiaoqing were practicing knife skills at home.

For three consecutive days, the mother and daughter cooked four dishes: braised tiger tail, fried butterfly slices, casserole eel tube, and shredded fish.

In the past few days, except for the long fish left on the first day, the rest of the long fish were sold to Lai Fushun for more than five taels of silver.

Today is the fourth day for Qiu and her daughter to learn how to cook long fish feast. Lu Quan packed up the harvested long fish, glanced at Qiu who was a little worried, and comforted her: "You and Xiaoqing have been practicing for a few days, Xiaosi

They say the long fish shreds you made are as thin as hair and taste very delicious, what else do you have to worry about?"

Mrs. Qiu glared at Lu Quan angrily, licked her hair at the temples, and did not feel comforted.

There were two buckets of fish. She had been practicing very carefully these past few days, and she was even more distressed when eating them.

I always feel that what I am eating is not the long fish, but her meat.

Every bite tastes like copper coins!

Mrs. Qiu looked at Lu Sheige who was doing nothing at the side: "Xiaosi, is it possible for you and your mother to come to Fushun to have a look?"

"Okay!" Lu Shege agreed.

Mrs. Qiu was still a little worried: "How about I practice two more dishes, mom? Didn't you say that you have to gather eight long fish dishes for Lai Fushun..."

Still practicing?

How many long fish will be used and how much money will it cost?

Lu Xiaoli's expression had not changed yet, but Lu Xiangge had already refused, "Mom, no matter how hard you practice, you will never go to Lai Fushun to be a chef. These four dishes are enough. I also told you the process of making the other four.

When the time comes, just teach the chef from Fushun as I told you. It will take a lot of effort to practice again."

Mr. Qiu did not refute the previous words, but the last sentence was taken to heart by Mr. Qiu.

The more dishes she practiced, the more she spent. Although they were all eaten by her family in the end, she felt so sad and couldn't bear to part with them!

"Then, let's stop practicing. If shopkeeper Li must make my mother do it herself..."

Lu Sheige raised his chin slightly: "My mother said, if you're tired, take a rest for two days and then do it again. It won't be too late to come back and practice again."

She didn't believe that shopkeeper Li could be such a pedantic person.

You know, since shopkeeper Li bought twenty copper coins of rice dumpling leaves from her last time, she has been able to find out clearly about shopkeeper Li's personality and character.

If it was a person with bad character, she would not be too meddlesome to teach the chef from Lai Fushun how to make a long fish feast.

She didn't dare to reach out for some money, even if it was easy to earn.

"What is a long fish dish, a long fish feast?"

Shopkeeper Li looked at the woman with a weathered face and simple clothes in front of him, and couldn't believe what he heard.

This country woman came to give Changyu a gift, saying that she belonged to the Lu family.

Lu Quan has sent a lot of long fish to the store these days, and shopkeeper Li has personally called them and paid for them, so he naturally knows them.

Looking at the woman in front of her, the buckets she brought were indeed the two wooden buckets that Lu Quan picked up every day. Even the pole that was somewhat cracked and wrapped several times with straw ropes was the same one that Lu Quan used.

However, he did not understand some of what the woman said.

What does she mean?

"Are you saying that you have a recipe for growing fish and want to sell it to me?"

"No...it's not..."
