Chapter 190 Why the rise
Huo Xi and Yang Fu returned to the boat.
Seeing Mrs. Yang mending fishing nets, she asked, "Where's dad?"
"I haven't woken up yet."
"Father didn't say he was going to arrest at night today, did he?"
Mr. Yang smiled: "They said they would rest for two days. They have been busy until this morning, and after delivering the whitebait, they have slept until now."
Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his father would become a desperate Saburo.
"I stayed up all night. Sis, you mend my brother-in-law." Yang Fu poked his head into the cabin, but didn't go in. He sat down at the stern and helped his sister mend the fishing nets.
"I know." Yang responded.
Huo Nian was eating with a small bowl. He hadn't eaten since Huo Xi and Yang Fu got on the boat. He sat quietly on the board and listened to their conversation.
Huo Xi glanced into the bowl he was holding: "What are you eating?"
"It's whitebait. Sister eats one, and uncle eats one too." Grabbing something that was fried brown, he stuffed it into Huo Xi and Yang Fu's mouths.
"Is this a whitebait?" Huo Xi tilted his head back, not letting him put it into his mouth, and took it with his hands.
"Well, it's whitebait. Mother wrapped it in batter and deep-fried it in a pan. It's delicious! You eat it, sister."
Huo Xi looked at the dough in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth. It was burnt and crispy, and tasted very good.
"Is it delicious? I've already eaten half a bowl. This is for my sister and uncle."
"It's delicious, we Nian'er are really sensible." Yang Fu praised him while chewing.
Pi Xiaozi immediately became proud when he got the compliment: "I also caught it last night." The whitebait in this bowl may be the ones he caught.
"Tomorrow, I will let my mother fry it." The little hand squeezed one for Yang Fu, and another for Huo Xi. Seeing that they had eaten them all, he squeezed one and put it in his mouth. The little mouth was bulging and he ate it With relish.
Huo Xi glanced at Mrs. Yang, seeing her mother looking at Huo Nian with a doting face, and then looking at Huo Nian, seeing him eating one by one happily. That little hand is full of oil.
Can't help laughing.
Even if the family has extra money, my mother is reluctant to use oil, such fried food is very willing to cook for Huo Nian.
"The best thing about this whitebait is not deep-fried." Huo Xi saw that he ate a lot and didn't think it was greasy, so she said something for fear that he would spoil his throat.
"Then what's the best food?" Pi Xiaozi was really fooled and jumped up.
Huo Xi lit into his bowl: "Look, if you wrap it in batter, you won't be able to see the whitebait?"
Pi Xiaozi took a look and nodded.
Huo Xi said again: "The whitebait looks cute and cute, and the meat is tender and tender. The fried meat will not taste good if it shrinks. Use it to stew eggs, scramble eggs, make soup, and the fish meat is smooth." It’s the best when it’s smooth and tender.”
Pi Xiaozi stared at her, swallowed his saliva desperately, turned and threw himself on Yang Shi: "Mother, make whitebait stewed eggs for Nian'er, scrambled eggs, and make soup."
Ms. Yang hugged him, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Okay, mother will cook for us, and make delicious whitebait dishes."
"Mother, Nian'er likes you the most." She kissed Yang Shi on the face, hugged Yang Shi and acted like a baby.
Mr. Yang was so sweet in her heart that she narrowed her eyes when she smiled.
Who knew that Nian'er's fur coat turned into a cozy little padded jacket in the end.
I really love him so much, if I want the stars in the sky, she and Erhuai are willing to set up a ladder to pick them for him.
Before eating dinner, Huo Erhuai woke up.
Seeing that the whole family was here, I was very happy. "Today, our family divided thirty-five taels, and the other three families each had twenty taels. They were all very happy. The excitement did not diminish, and they said they would continue."
"Father, you can't work too hard. Our family is rich in money now, and the most important thing is to keep healthy."
"Dad understands. Daddy told them to rest for a few days."
Huo Xi nodded and glanced at him.
All these years, what she and Yang Fu earned, Yang's family and Huo Erhuai didn't want it, and Huo Xi gave all the rent in the field to her to open a shop, and only took what she earned from selling goods on her own boat, and Fishing.
But Huo Xi has enough for the family, and they don't need to spend anything. The couple also saved a lot of silver in their hands. When the silver was saved to a certain amount, they looked around for land and wanted to buy land. I also bought some here and there.
Mrs. Yang pulled Huo Xi: "Your father got the money and said he would buy you fabrics to make spring clothes. Your spring clothes last year were probably short. Tomorrow you and Fu'er took the money to buy some fabrics, and mother will make them for you. "
"Sister, I have a lot of clothes, you can make them for Xi'er and Nian'er."
Huo Xi smiled: "Do all of them, everyone in our family makes two. The cloth we sell back from our house is cheap, so I want to make as many as I want."
Huo Erhuai took a look at Mrs. Yang, if the mother of the child said no to it, the children would not know how to do it, so he made a decision: "Do it, do it all."
"Okay, there are new clothes to wear." Huo Nian happily clapped his little hands.
Huo Xi couldn't help but poke him: "Is our house short of your clothes, or are you wearing patched clothes? Are you so happy to make clothes?"
Pi Xiaozi blinked: "Aren't you happy making clothes?"
Uh, it made Huo Xi choke. Seeing the two siblings staring wide-eyed, everyone laughed.
After dinner, Huo Xi suddenly thought of the prices of the goods he checked in the shop today, thought about it, and asked Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi: "Father, mother, are you going to the countryside these two days?"
"Rent collector? I want to go!" Pi Xiaozi exclaimed excitedly, afraid that he would forget him.
"Mother does not collect rent."
"Don't collect rent? Then why go to the countryside?"
Ms. Yang hugged him: "The weather is getting warmer, and the farmers are going to plow the land for spring plowing. My parents are going to sign contracts with new tenants to see how they prepare for growing grain."
"Think about it too."
"Okay, father and mother will bring Nian'er together." Pi Xiaozi was immediately happy when he heard that, and shook his head, Huo Xi gave him a stare and even made a face for Huo Xi.
"Father, when you go to the countryside this time, ask everyone if they would like to grow glutinous rice. Then ask their Xiatian if they would like to plant mulberry trees."
Huo Xi wanted to plant mulberries, Huo Erhuai and Yang knew about it, and he and his wife had also greeted the fishermen with land. But glutinous rice?
"The yield of glutinous rice is low, I'm afraid the farmers don't want it."
Mr. Yang didn't know what the kid was up to, but he couldn't get two to three hundred catties from planting one mu of glutinous rice. Farmers are afraid that they are unwilling.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Huo Xi explained to them.
"I looked through the book of the shop today and found that the purchase price of glutinous rice has been getting higher and higher this year. Previously, a stone of glutinous rice with shells only sold for about one, two, two, and three yuan, but the purchase price in the past two months has been one, two, and five yuan. It’s going up. I don’t know why. And our store doesn’t have much stock of glutinous rice, whether it’s hulled or not.”
