Chapter 16 Planning to sell fish

"Brother, it's almost dark, why haven't my sister-in-law come back yet?" Mu Xue couldn't help but worry.

At this time, Mu Yu suggested to Mu Feng: "Brother, let's go to the village entrance to pick up the sister-in-law!"

Mu Xue then echoed: "So we can meet my sister-in-law earlier and tell her the good news."

Mu Feng wanted to refuse, but Mu Yu and Mu Xue pulled and dragged him, so he just pushed him halfway and followed him.

When Zhang Wei returned to the village, the first thing that caught her eye was the four people sitting under the crooked tree, looking forward to it.

Zhang Wei was quite moved, but in just two days, the family was so concerned about her, and it was fake that she was not moved.

"Sister-in-law!" When the two saw Zhang Wei, they rushed over happily, "Sister-in-law, you are finally back. If you don't come back, your brother will be anxious."

When Mu Feng heard this, he was shocked: Where did I have it?

When Zhang Wei saw Mu Feng's expression, she knew that Mu Yu was talking nonsense, but she was quite happy that Mu Feng could come to the village entrance to pick her up.

Zhang Wei asked: "Did those people bully you today?"

"Aunt San asked us to chop firewood. Mujie was as old as us. He didn't have to go up the mountain to pick up firewood, so my elder brother didn't let us go." Mu Yu said with a smile, "Grandma was unhappy, but she didn't say anything."

"That's good. We have to demand equal treatment in the future. In the past, you were young and could not resist and could only be slaughtered by others. Now that you have grown up, your limbs are sound. As long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, you will never starve yourself to death. Therefore, you must fight for your own legitimate rights and interests. You cannot be foolish and suffer losses all the time. Sometimes people cannot suffer losses all the time."

"I understand, sister-in-law, we will all listen to you from now on." Mu Yu said happily again: "Sister-in-law, when my second brother and I went to the fish basket in the afternoon, we found that there were a lot of fish in the fish basket!"

"There is another one that is so big." Mu Xue opened her hands excitedly and gestured, "Mrs. Hong said it was a grass carp. Mrs. Hong weighed it and said it was more than three pounds!"

In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels, so wouldn’t that fish be equivalent to five pounds in modern times! It is indeed a big fish.

When he returned home, before Zhang Wei put down his things, Mu Yu and Mu Xue dragged Zhang Wei to Tong's house to check today's results.

Seeing Aunt Zhang Weihong, she smiled and said, "Xiaowei, the fish basket you made is really effective. I just weighed it. This grass carp is three pounds and three ounces. These small crucian carp are one pound and nine ounces. After Mu Yun poured out the fish, he went to dig some earthworms and said that it would be another basket. I will get up again tomorrow morning. I think there will be so many fish tomorrow morning."

"Auntie, since this thing works, I think you might as well make more fish baskets, whether it is selling fish baskets or fishing, it is an income." Zhang Wei kindly reminded.

"This afternoon, Uncle Tong knew that this thing was useful, so he was already making it up. He thought that he could use it at home and occasionally caught a few fish to make a tooth sacrifice. However, if this fish basket is sold..." Aunt Hong was a little worried.

"Auntie, how much do you plan to sell this fish basket?"

"We have one dustpan and five copper plates. Your fish basket is more complicated than a dustpan, and eight copper plates are almost the same."

"Then aunt, I'll order five more fishing baskets of the same size." After saying that, Zhang Wei counted forty-eight copper plates, "Add to add the one I made before, there are a total of forty-eight articles. Aunt, please count."

"Ah? This... is too much!" Aunt Hong was dumbfounded, "Xiaowei, this is the first one who agreed not to charge money. Just treat us to two more fish." After that, Aunt Hong counted eight more copper coins and returned them to Zhang Wei.

Money is the best touchstone. In this era, it is difficult to make a penny. Even the poor son of the Tong family cannot afford to marry a wife. However, it is really difficult for Mrs. Hong to be jealous of money. It is also very credible. Zhang Wei has better sense of the Tong family.

Aunt Hong asked again: "What do you want so much to do? Can you finish eating?"

“I’m going to sell fishing.”

Now that practicing medicine and pharmaceuticals is not working, we can only think of other ways to improve our lives. At present, fishing seems to be a way out.

"I think it's OK," said Tong Bo, "Then I'll try to do it for you within two days."

Because he had already made one, he became more skilled and had more materials at home. If he made it, the speed would definitely be very fast. If it really doesn't work, he could ask his sons to help. Anyway, except the fourth son, his four sons, do not know how to do bamboo craftsmanship.

"Thank you, Uncle Tong." Zhang Wei said, "If Uncle Tong has time, you can make more stuff. If someone sees me catching fish, he will definitely come to you to buy a fishing basket."

Uncle Tong thought about it and felt it was an opportunity, so he immediately ordered his two sons to start chopping more bamboos tomorrow.

As for the fish I caught today, Zhang Wei left the grass carp and planned to sell it tomorrow. All the crucian carp were cooked by the Tong family, and the two families would drink some soup together in a while.

Zhang Wei also took out three packs of steamed buns and steamed them, and then gave them twelve buns to the Tong family. The twelve buns seemed to be quite large. In fact, the steamed buns were very small, and the twelve buns were only seven or eight taels in total. The Tong family said they didn't want anything, but Zhang Wei said that they had not separated and had to borrow the Tong family's house for a dentist for food. At that time, they would have to ask them to help cover the fish. If they didn't accept them, she would be embarrassed to disturb them, so the Tong family accepted them.

"This steamed bun is white and tender, it smells so good!" Tong Baoshu swallowed and exclaimed.

After a few handfuls of fire, the steamed buns became soft. Uncle Tong took a bite, then narrowed his eyes into a line, and looked enjoying and amazed: "It's the first time I've lived so old that I have eaten such delicious steamed buns."

Mu Feng looked up at Zhang Wei and said nothing. He was afraid that even the imperial kitchen might not be able to make such a white and tender steamed bun...

Mu Xue: "Yes, it's delicious, as delicious as eggs."

"No, I think it's better than eggs, fragrant and soft. This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!" Mu Yun sighed.

"How old are you! You're still in this life." Zhang Wei said, "You're still in this life! Work hard in the future, you'll have delicious delicacies, silks and satin."

"I will listen to my sister-in-law from now on." Mu Yu quickly expressed his loyalty and hugged her thighs.

"I listen to my sister-in-law, too." Mu Xue was unwilling to fall behind.

"You are all good. If we sell fish tomorrow, I will buy you steamed buns."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The two young men in the Mu family said in unison.

Although this steamed bun is a frozen product, it has milk added, and the raw materials and craftsmanship are much more refined than those of this era, so the taste is quite good. In addition, the food in this era is short of food, especially flour, which is more expensive. Where can I afford it in farmers?
