Chapter 29： Pick up leaks

Chapter 29 Picking up leaks

“Caught in the river?”

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "That's right. My children made a few fish baskets to play with. I didn't expect to get such harvests. They wanted to sell them, so I brought them. It's not easy to carry buckets of water along the way. I It took a lot of effort to get them here, will Shopkeeper Jin accept them?"

"Take it! Why don't you take it? The bigger the fish, the more valuable it is, not to mention that the ones brought by the aunt are all alive. Let's do this. I'll give you fifteen cents for this big one, and twenty cents for these small ones. OK? ?" Shopkeeper Jin kept staring at the big fish and said with a smile: "If there is another one this big, I will give you fifteen cents per pound."

The fishmonger in the town usually sells fish for eighteen cents per catty. Small fish are sold at a reasonable price. The price charged by shopkeeper Jin must be lower, which is reasonable.

Jiang Ning sold the fish happily. This time, she gained another 215 yuan.

Without those heavy objects, she felt relaxed all over as she walked on the road. Thinking that the materials at home were not enough, she ran to the alley again to find a salesman. This time she was unlucky and didn't meet anyone, but there was a warm-hearted lady who helped her Pointed the way.

Jiang Ning went directly to the salesman’s house.

Before I even knocked on the door, I heard a baby crying from the yard.

An Yongliang was in a hurry and was about to go out. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Ning standing at the door. He was shocked, "It's you!"

Jiang Ning was also startled, "Do you still remember me?"

An Yongliang asked: "Is there something wrong, Madam?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "I want to find you to change some ingredients."

An Yongliang then turned sideways to let Jiang Ning enter the room, "Auntie, are you going to give me honey in exchange this time?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "I recently got two kilograms of honey at home. I'm eager to come here. But this time I'm going to change some ingredients. I'd like to ask the rest to be replaced with copper plates. I'm short of a pot at home. I Gotta buy a pot.”

Jiang Ning said while looking towards the side room.

An Yongliang explained: "My mother-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and her milk supply was not enough. The baby couldn't eat enough and kept crying."

"Hey! That's not a trivial matter! I heard that crucian carp soup can promote lactation. Why don't you give it to your mother-in-law to try?" Jiang Ning searched and finally thought of a practical and feasible way to induce lactation.

An Yongliang nodded repeatedly, "I've heard about it too. Didn't I just receive the news? I heard that someone was coming to town carrying a bucket of live fish, so I wanted to go over and ask."

There are only small streams in the town, not big rivers. If you want to buy fish, you have to go to a fishmonger. The fishmonger catches whatever he catches, and there may not necessarily be crucian carp.

Jiang Ning subconsciously looked at his empty bucket.

An Yongliang followed her gaze and exclaimed, "Isn't that person just you, my aunt?"

Jiang Ning said with a smile: "I didn't expect such a coincidence! What's even more coincidental is that I actually sold two crucian carps this time, but they were all taken away by the manager of Dashan Inn."

An Yongliang was greatly disappointed.

Jiang Ning hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry. If the child is not full, feed him some rice soup. Wait until I go back and take a look. If my child catches crucian carp, I will send it to you."

An Yongliang stood up immediately, thanked him sincerely, turned around and moved into the house to move out a pile of materials, "Look, madam, I haven't taken these out to sell. I originally planned to sell the materials with big flaws before selling these. The price is still good." A little higher, since you want it, I’ll sell it to you at the previous price, how about it?”

Jiang Ning looked at the materials carefully and found that these materials were indeed less defective than the last batch. You couldn't tell if you didn't look carefully. Of course, any defective materials would not be sold at a good price.

She fell in love with the jasmine yellow material at a glance. This color makes the skin white and is suitable for a little girl. It is also very good to wear willow leaves. In addition to this material, there is also a dragon eye fish red willow leaf material. , this one was beyond Jiang Ning’s expectation.

"This is the same price?" An Yongliang obviously didn't notice the existence of this piece of material. He nodded after being stunned, "Maybe the waiter put it in the wrong place when I got the goods. Since the aunt likes it, I will sell it to the aunt for the same price. "

This is really a big mistake. Jiang Ning directly wrapped the entire piece of material into a round shape. He asked for this extra piece of material, which cost an extra eighty yuan. Adding a piece of crane ash material cost almost more than two hundred yuan.

An Yongliang supplied her with more than a hundred coins and reminded her by the way: "If you want to buy a pot, you have to go to the blacksmith shop. You can customize it or buy it ready-made. It depends on how big the pot you need is usually like the iron pot on our stove." It costs four hundred coins, and the smaller ones cost two to three hundred coins.”

This price was acceptable to Jiang Ning. After leaving An Yongliang, she immediately went to the blacksmith and ordered a large pot of 400 ren, paying a deposit of 200 ren.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, she only had more than a hundred Wen left in her hand, but with this iron pot, she could fry the melon seeds much faster.

On the way, she picked up firewood while walking and put some thatch on her backpack. She would also put handfuls of wild fruits and vegetables into the bucket when she saw them. The villagers would not say anything when they saw her, they would only whisper behind their backs whether the Jiang family was... Really transitioned.

By the time Jiang Ning returned home, it was almost noon. All the older children had gone out. Only the little girl was collecting melon seeds in the yard. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Ning. "Auntie! Have you bought the ingredients?"

Ever since Jiang Ning decided to make an extra dress for Xiaohua, she began to get nervous, worried that the materials would not be enough.

Jiang Ning pinched her cheek in a funny way and put the materials in the backpack into the room.

Yang Xiaoya breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing it, jumped up and down happily several times, and was very energetic in her work.

Liu Ye was overjoyed when she saw the materials when she came back.

Especially the dragon eye fish red piece, she didn’t dare to touch it. “Aniang, I’ll leave this piece of material to you. I’ll make you a new dress during the Chinese New Year.”

Jianning Dale, “Then I’ll be waiting!”

At this time, Yang Datou and the others also came back with their things, "What are you waiting for? Mother! Come and take a look. There are many big fish in the ditch today, but there are no snakes."

Jiang Ning's smile froze and said: "You don't need to remind me about the snake! What did you catch? Ha! It's amazing! This carp weighs three pounds! It can definitely sell for fifty cents! And these few The crucian carp is not bad either, there are seven or eight liang of each.”

It was a river ditch after all, and she didn’t know that a big crucian carp weighing one or two kilograms could be found in it.

Yang Datou nodded repeatedly, thinking that the family's luck seemed to have improved a lot after the separation.

Yang Santie shouted: "Auntie, I want to drink fish soup, fish soup"

Jiang Ning stepped forward, picked out the smaller fish, and divided the rest into several buckets. "Big Tou will follow me to the town to deliver fish in a while. The ones alive are more valuable."

“Huh? That’s my big fish!” Yang Santie almost cried.

Jiang Ning hurriedly comforted him: "There is a salesman in the town who ordered crucian carp from my mother-in-law. I will wait for my mother-in-law to sell the money and see if he can bring you a piece of pork."

Compared to fish soup, pork is naturally more attractive.

Yang Santie immediately beamed with joy and even shouted that he wanted to go to town.

Since one more person can bring more things, Jiang Ning did not refuse and directly gave him a bucket of fish.
