The He Family Brother of Farming

Set up a fish stall

"Selling fish, uncles and aunts passing by, brothers and sisters, fresh fish, come and take a look~"

In Dashan Town today, although it is not market day, there are many people who come out to buy in the morning. In addition to the fixed meat stalls in the market, some nearby villagers will also pick up some leftover vegetables and eggs from their own homes, so In the morning, the market on South Street is still very lively.

No matter whether you are in a hurry or walking slowly, when you are about to enter the market, you will be attracted by this immature cries, and there are some people surrounded by the banyan tree over there. Driven by curiosity, you can't help but go up to see After all.

I saw a small pool surrounded by oilcloth under the tree. It looked quite fresh. Usually people would put it in a wooden basin at most. A little doll with a round face and a round head was standing beside him with a small chest, calling loudly to the surroundings. Looking at his stern and serious appearance, people want to laugh, so there are quite a lot of people watching the excitement.

"Auntie, look at the fish at my house. It's fresh. My dad just picked it up this morning. Do you want to buy one and give it to your family?"

According to He He's instructions, Ye Sen tried his best to go to the fat lady who came to see him first, and He Tian also caught a grass carp for him to show while he was talking, to show that their words were true.

The fat lady was a little hesitant. The fish really looked like what people said, and it was much better than those sold inside, so she was a little moved and asked hesitantly: "Little baby, how do you sell this fish?"

"Auntie, today is the first time we sell fish, so let's offer a discount. This kind of grass carp costs five Wen a catty, and the one on the leaf is three Wen a catty. Do you want to buy it?"

Look at the little doll in front of me, just like my little grandson. Yesterday, my grandson was clamoring to eat meat. This fish looks like enough for the family to eat. Two catties of fish are not much worse than one catty of pork. Thinking of this, the aunt immediately pointed to the fish on the bamboo leaf and said, "I want this kind, it's three Wen, right?"

As soon as Ye Sen heard that the other party wanted to buy it, his small face suddenly smiled like a flower, and he nodded like a garlic, "Yes, you can choose for yourself whether you want the bigger one or the smaller one."

"Hey," the fat aunt also laughed, and couldn't help but reach out to touch his head, boasting, "You really sensible children, please help choose the bigger one."

"That's fine," He Tian picked out a fish weighing about two catties, and opened the gills to show her, and said, "Look, the gills of this fish are still red, they have just been out of breath for a long time, and they are definitely fresh. "

These words are naturally based on what his younger brother said. Anyway, the dead fish were basically inspected by He He, and they put away the ones that could not be sold.

The onlookers were in an uproar——

"Is there such a fish watcher?"

"That's right, it's the first time I've heard of it, too."

"Hey, it's just the nonsense of a few children, you also believe it." A middle-aged man dressed as a servant objected, which won the approval of some people in the crowd.

"That's also..."

An old man standing behind the fat aunt stroked his gray beard and retorted, "You can't say that, maybe people will know it? Don't act like other people if you don't understand."

The middle-aged man's face turned red at the words, and he was stunned by the occasional laughter from all around him, and he dropped a sentence in a rough voice, and walked out of the crowd in a desperation.

"Cut, treat me as a rarity! Treat it like you sell fish!"

No matter what other people said, at the moment He He and the four of them are busy helping the fat aunt weigh fish.Since the family is not doing business, there are very few people who need scales, so they forgot about the need for scales for a while.Fortunately, the neighbor thought that Grandma saw their children, so she kindly lent them the scale she brought.

"Come on, use grandma's first, don't make the guests wait too long."

"Thank you grandma, I will return it to you later." The four thanked directly with gratitude.

"Haha, no, no, just take it. If you don't know how to use it, then ask grandma." Grandma waved her hand with a smile, and joked, "Why don't you give me a fish?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Lin immediately caught a crucian carp from the pool, carried a thin bamboo branch through the gills of the fish, walked over and put it in the empty basket behind her.

Grandma didn't expect the child to take her words seriously, and she moved so quickly, she couldn't help blocking the basket and said in her mouth, "No way, no way! Grandma is joking, why do you take this child seriously, take it back quickly ,ah"

"Grandma, just take it," He He said here, "Take it as a thank you gift for borrowing the scale beam. If you don't accept it, we'd be embarrassed to lend you something, right?"

"But this..." Grandma still refused.

The onlookers spoke again, and most of them were persuading her to accept it, just as the wishes of a few children, and finally the grandma had no choice but to accept it.

I learned how to look at the scale from my grandmother, and He Tian quickly weighed the fish for the fat aunt, two catties and two taels, because she was the first customer of their family, and she only charged six cents, and even built a three-finger one. Xiaoyu was so happy that the fat aunt boasted, and happily squeezed out of the crowd with the fish and left.

"They're all real kids." The white-bearded grandfather squatted down by the pool to look at the fish in it.

"Grandpa, do you want to buy fish?" Ye Sen saw it and asked sweetly with a smile, "Look at my fish. They swim so fast. If you don't want to eat so fast after buying them, you can put them in the water to raise them."

"Oh?" The old man became interested, stopped looking at the fish, and turned to ask him, "Son, how do you know that if I bought it back, I would die?"

"Uh..." Ye Sen was speechless at the question, and looked back at He He for help.

The previous words were taught by Xiao Hemiao's younger brother.

It's a pity that He He was busy tossing those Zhu Mi, and didn't see the eyes of his little friend asking for help. In the end, it was his elder brother who saved him.

Ye Lin stopped the movement of a piece of bamboo, raised his head and replied to the grandfather: "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, you can buy one and try it. We have raised it at home before, but we can't keep it for too long. It's just like this for a day."

Grandpa White Beard nodded with a smile, stopped making things difficult for them, looked down at the fish again, and asked, "What kind of fish do you have here?"

"Grass carp is the most," He Tian answered this time. He first caught a grass carp and showed him, and then caught a crucian carp in his hand. Children or older people can also eat catfish, this one has fewer spines, but it is more expensive than others.”

"Okay, hehe." The old man stroked his beard habitually, and smiled, obviously satisfied with He Tian's answer, "Then grab one for each of them. Grandpa has a different taste today."

When He Tian and Ye Sen heard this, he was overjoyed. Fortunately, he still remembered to work, "Okay, I'll catch it for you right now, but if you live far away, grandpa, this fish probably won't be able to be raised."

"Haha, it's okay, grandpa's house is just across the street."

He He also paid attention to this place, and when he heard people lived nearby, he couldn't help suggesting: "Grandpa, if you have an empty wooden basin or bucket at home, you can go back and get it and put the fish back directly, so you won't be afraid that the fish will die so quickly." .”

The old grandpa clapped his hands happily when he heard this, "Why didn't this old man think of this, you help grandpa catch the child first, and grandpa will go back and ask someone to take the wooden basin, hey, make room, don't squeeze the way." He got up and shouted to the onlookers.

People gave way to a path, and when they left, some excited people crowded around, chattering to grab one for themselves, or pointing to the bamboo leaves to say which one to weigh.

There was a rush in front of the stall, and Ye Lin and He He also put down their work and came to help, helping to collect copper coins to find extra money.

"Hey, why are you all crowded together? Give way, boy, this old man has someone bring a basin, have you caught any fish?" The white-bearded grandfather finally squeezed to the front, and he brought a wooden stick behind him. young man in pots.

He Tian was busy catching fish for other guests, and He He and Ye Sen were collecting money at the weighing fish. Ye Lin could only raise his head and said to him in a hurry: "Grandpa, what do you want? We will catch it for you."

The old man glanced into the water, pointed to one of them, "Look at this one."

Ye Lin showed them what he said, and when he saw someone nodding, he put it in the empty bucket on the side and continued to grab the next one.

"My aunt said that crucian carp is cooked in soup to produce milk. If you have a baby at home, you can buy one."

"You little doll still know this?" The old man paused his beard-stroking hand and asked curiously.

Ye Lin shook his head and nodded again, "I heard from my aunt that my nephew is quite fat."

The old man obviously didn't believe it very much, but the expression of the little boy in front of him hadn't changed, making it impossible for people to see the flaws, and people couldn't help but not believe his words.

Where did this child come from? This concentration and xinxing are very good!The old man was secretly amazed in his heart.

In fact, these words were said by He He, but if he said the words, people saw what their children knew, so when they came to Ye Lin's mouth, they would automatically become what his aunt said, imperceptibly. It made the statement more believable.

He He, who was busy looking at the scale, was just amused when he heard it, and then sighed that this kid is really smart, and then thanked the other party for not being suspicious of what he said.

"Your aunt really said that?"

Many people heard this sentence, and they all opened their eyes wide in disbelief. They had never heard this before.

"Yes, it is said that children who eat more fish will become smarter." He He answered.

Regardless of the reactions of other people, the three of Ye Lin felt a little enlightened first. No wonder Xiaohe Miao felt smarter after waking up. It turned out that it was because of eating fish.

What kind of misunderstanding did the three of them realize?Not to mention that they have only eaten a few fish so far, but the effect appeared immediately after eating it?

However, whether it is a misunderstanding or other understanding, as long as these familiar people don't treat him as a monster because of his change, it will be fine.

"If it's what you said, then catch me a crucian carp too," a woman with a tanned face squeezed in and said to Ye Lin.

A woman next to her probably knew her, and asked her suspiciously: "Sister-in-law of the Lin family, it seems that no one in your family has a baby?"

The black-faced woman smiled shyly, and replied: "It's my siblings from my mother's house. I'm just going to see it."

"So that's how it should be." The old woman suddenly realized, thinking that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, her heart moved, and she hurriedly asked the children, "How many days can you really keep this fish?"

"Auntie, you can raise them, but I'm afraid it won't work for a few days." Seeing her disappointed look, He Tian hurriedly added, "If you need it, you can come back next time. Our family will probably come to the town to sell a few more. Second fish."

The woman smiled happily after hearing this, "Okay, I will come back in a few days, and I will weigh one for me today, and I will make up for my daughter-in-law first. I helped with the field work before, and I have a big belly." Yes, people have lost a lot of weight."

A few aunts next to him interrupted one after another.

"Hey, you are really kind to your daughter-in-law, unlike mine, alas!"

"Oh, you just complained, your wife is not good enough for you, what a diligent girl... I also called one, the smell of meat is rare in the house, we can't afford pork, this one can still be tasted by the family Taste it."

"That's right, that's right, I've been busy for more than half a year... my child caught a grass carp in the water, the bigger one."

"Me too."

"Catch me two, one crucian carp and one grass carp."

……

It seems that women are the ones who have a strong desire to shop in any era.Under the leadership of those women, the people around all took out their pockets to buy one, because if you hesitate, you will lose your share. The small pool is clear at a glance. There are not many fish in the first place. Two of them, and soon the pool was empty.

But when they saw that there was still a bucket covered with branches and leaves, those who hadn't left shouted, "Is there still another bucket? Why did they say it was gone?"No matter how the four of them explained, they didn't believe it and refused to leave.

They were on their way in the middle of the night, and they would be busy for half the morning. The four of them were tired and hungry, but the fathers hadn't come back yet, so they had to sit on the tree roots and wait. A circle of people, Zhou Weiyou sent someone to look at it, to see if something happened, but people still stared at it.

"Head," the person who came back from the stalking was the young soldier Zhou Wei had put away the fish before, sneaking up to his side and yelling softly while the others were not paying attention.

Zhou Wei gave him a sideways glance, but remained silent.The younger boy looked around, and then whispered again: "Head, didn't our sister-in-law just have a nephew, just now I heard those women said that the children sold something called crucian carp, and my sister-in-law ate it. It’s good, do you want us to buy a few too?”

Zhou Wei's heart moved, "What's the benefit?"

"Um..." The young man scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "I said it, you can't blame me for being abrupt, sister-in-law."

Seeing the sharp eyes staring towards him, his scalp felt numb, and he hurriedly poured out all the words he heard, and then shrank his neck for fear of cursing others.

"Is it still useful?" Zhou Wei was also curious.

Seeing that the boss had no intention of blaming him, the younger generation became lively again, "Well, it should be, even the old doctor Ling from Ling's Medicine Hall came to buy it himself."

In fact, when he went to watch it, Elder Ling had already gone back, but he couldn't hold back too many people talking about it.

Thinking of my daughter-in-law finally giving birth to a son, but this time the pregnant daughter-in-law suffered a lot. She couldn't eat anything at all before, but after she gave birth, he and his mother tried their best to get some chicken stew for her to eat, but the daughter-in-law Breastfeeding is always infrequent. Every time the son is hungry and cries loudly, neither he nor his mother blames her, but the daughter-in-law always thinks that she is ashamed of her son. They secretly wiped their tears.

His son is not getting enough milk, so he is also very anxious, but the money for guarding the city gate is limited, and now a person with a back door is inserted in. I am afraid that his position as a little gatekeeper will not be guaranteed, so he can only work hard Take supplements from other places, so that the family can feel at ease and full.

Hearing this news now, regardless of whether it is true or not, since Elder Ling bought it, he can't let it go.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wei couldn't care less about the other side's eyeing tigers, and kept trying to catch his braided servant, so he pulled him to his side and asked anxiously, "Go and see if there are any other fish like that, and buy them for me. "

The younger generation glanced at the opposite side, and saw that the man squinted over there, and he hurriedly laughed, and no longer suppressed his voice, he replied: "No, the fish are all sold out, but I can ask again, Mr. Lin Would you like to buy a fish back for my sister-in-law to taste?"

Lin Wangwang was the one who had just been put in. Hearing the question from the other side, he snorted and turned his head back. He thought that the surnamed Zhou had something to do with it. Isn't it just a fish, and everyone was as rare as them.

He seemed to have forgotten that the two fish that had been stuffed earlier were the same as the one he had sent home.

Zhou Wei also remembered what happened in the morning, and hurriedly asked, "Where's the fish that you kept in the morning?"

The younger generation was stunned by the question, and subconsciously replied: "I, I sent it to my sister-in-law."

"Ah! I don't know if there is a crucian carp in it?"

"Don't worry, I'll find out when I get back at night. Besides, didn't you say that they will come again in the future? We'll buy a few more for next time."

"Well, starting tomorrow, I'll put a bucket here at any time."

……

"Brother, I'm so hungry." Ye Sen said to his brother pitifully while rubbing his belly.

He He also pressed his flat, hungry stomach growling with his hands, and sighed.

The more ones were taken away by the fathers, and the ones they kept were sold out so soon, leaving only his shrimps.

I stretched out my hand to fish a few prawns in the bucket and came out to see that the prawns were even worse, and the water in the small pool was also muddy, but they were all hungry now, how could they have the strength to change the water?

"You need to change the water." Ye Lin leaned over and said, also looked at the water in the pool, took the bucket and wanted to lift the water.

He He quickly grabbed him and shook his head, he was so hungry that he was almost speechless.

He Tian came over to discuss with Ye Lin, and decided to buy a few steamed buns inside, and it would be impossible not to eat.

Four big meat buns, one for each person, almost all of them were eaten in three or two bites, but it still felt like they hadn't eaten, but the stomach was no longer noisy.

Ye Lin and He Tian went to fetch water as usual, He He and Ye Sen took the previous water to the base of the wall and poured it out.

Once again, I changed the water and the place for the shrimps as before.

After finishing their work, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the side——

"Large shrimp! Mmm..."

brush brush --

Following the call, the sights around him swept over.

"Where are the shrimp?"

"Where are the prawns?"
