Chapter 69： Sharing

Chapter 69 Shared Housing

"People living on the water have a hard life. When you open your eyes, you are looking for food in the water. Looking for food in the water is not suitable for women. It's better if you have a man. If you don't have a man, you have to go to it by yourself. My fate has been decided, but my daughter "Xiao Qiao, I don't want her to suffer like me anymore. If possible, I would like to buy a small yard on the ground and find her a land-owning family to marry. No matter what, it is better than staying on the boat!" Pan Xiuniang gritted her teeth, with some hidden humiliation in her eyes.

Every time Jiang Ning saw her, she was sunny and cheerful. Perhaps when it came to sadness, Pan Xiuniang showed her vulnerable side for the first time.

Jiang Ning asked with concern: "Have you rented a house yet?"

Pan Xiuniang shook her head, "Not yet. To be honest with you, eldest sister, I earned some money from you this time. I have some money to rent, but I'm afraid of sitting on nothing. Just when you asked me for oysters again, I I’ve made up my mind to rent a house, but it’s not over yet!”

Jiang Ning asked again: "Do you rent a house just to sleep at night?"

Pan Xiuniang nodded, "I also want to get to know some people around me. Maybe I can marry Xiao Qiao to a nearby family in the future."

This is Pan Xiuniang’s wish.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning's heart moved and he said: "Since eldest sister wants to rent a house, why not share it with my son and daughter-in-law? They just rented a large yard in Songxi Town and set up stalls to sell food.

I will make another deal with you. If you pick out the oyster meat from the ship and put it into barrels, I will pay ten cents more. Give these oyster meat to my daughter-in-law, and send the shells to me in Rongshu Village. "

"That's it?" Pan Xiuniang couldn't believe it. When Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively, she immediately agreed. Anyway, Xiao Qiao had nothing to do on the boat. He could earn another ten cents by opening an oyster shell. Only a fool would not do it.

Since Pan Xiuniang agreed, Young Master Jiang Ning had to go to Songxi Town to talk to Liuye and the others. Of course, she didn't want to do it right away. At least she had to wait until she got the oysters to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain and then picked out the meat.

The three of them arrived at their destination. Pan Xiuniang and her daughter were busy unloading the goods, while Jiang Ning ran home quickly and had to call Yang Erdan to come over and help.

As soon as she walked out of Qingfeng Mountain, she saw a large farmhouse not far from Yang Han's house. It was surrounded by high mud walls. There were only two adobe houses in it, and the rest were all thatched sheds.

There should be an earthen kiln under the thatched shed, and from a distance it is still smoking.

Jiang Ning quickly ran over there, shouting, "Erdan, Erdan"

Yang Erdan came out covered in sweat, his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Ning, "Auntie, you're back!"

Jiang Ning only glanced at it and quickly asked Yang Erdan to bring the wheelbarrow to help. Several other children in the family heard about it and also came to help. The movement alerted Yang Han who was hunting in the mountains. He killed many children in one shot. In Jiang Ning's eyes, he could finish such a cumbersome task in just two trips.

All the oysters brought back were piled in the newly built yard. Old man Yang and old man Yang who came to work were still not used to the smell of the sea. They stayed away as much as possible and even went out to collect firewood and dig clay, but they couldn't. Willing to stay in the yard and smell it.

Jiang Ning frowned, took a few children to open the oysters quickly, and left the rest to Yang Erdan.

She herself went to Songxi Town again with the oyster meat.

Yang Datou and Liu Ye were still setting up their stall late at night. Suddenly, they saw Jiang Ning returning. They were both shocked. After selling the remaining items, they hurried back to the stall. Jiang Ning glanced at them and whispered: "I thought about it carefully. It would be a waste if we don't use these oysters. After all, we spent money to buy them. I will teach you how to eat them tonight, and you will sell them together tomorrow." "

“What do you want to eat?” Upon hearing that Jiang Ning wanted to teach him something, the two of them immediately became interested.

Jiang Ning placed the prepared ingredients in front of them one by one, "I plan to teach you how to make fried oyster cakes. You need flour, garlic sprouts, duck eggs, salt, miso, **** juice, and some wild pepper powder I prepared.

Wash the oyster meat, drain the water, add a handful of oyster meat and a handful of garlic sprouts, and then add the other ingredients and stir. It’s ready. Put more oil in the pot. The fried things will be fragrant and crispy at first. You only fry the oyster cakes, and you will add others when they are better. Oil is not cheap, so one cake sells for two cents, and two counts as three cents. Remember? "

“Auntie, it’s so simple, I’m sure I won’t make a mistake!” Liu Yexing hurriedly started.

She is indeed a girl with dexterous skills. She tries to learn everything she wants. After only trying it a few times, the thing she exploded almost looks like an eight-pointer of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning saw that they were almost ready, so he told the situation of Pan Xiuniang and her daughter, "I mean to let them share the house with you. First of all, you two are not locals. If you do business for a long time, you will inevitably be targeted. If If someone is sharing a house with you, outsiders would not dare to act rashly if they see you.

The second thing is this oyster. I have made an agreement with Pan Xiuniang to let them pick out the oyster meat directly. If they live here, you will have a stable supply and you will not have to travel around.

Finally, there is the issue of rent. They are poor mother and daughter. They have a heavy burden to rent an extra house. You two can't live in such a big house. You can just give them the wing room near the gate and build a bamboo fence to surround it as a partition. Just fine, they can be companions without disturbing each other, so they can achieve multiple things with one stone. "

After hearing Jiang Ning’s intention, Yang Datou and his wife immediately agreed.

Jiang Ning smiled knowingly, "Since you agreed, when Pan Xiuniang comes back from this trip, I will tell her to ask her mother and daughter to come to you."

After all the matters on Yang Datou's side were arranged, Jiang Ning could go back with confidence.

After Pan Xiuniang got the news about Jiang Ning, she immediately took her daughter ashore and found the small courtyard rented by Liu Ye.

Liu Ye led them to the wing room and said, "Madam, my mother-in-law told me about your situation. Do you think I can rent this room to you for twenty-five yuan a month?"

This price was an unexpected surprise for Pan Xiuniang. She paid four months' rent on the same day and moved her daughter into a wing. The mother and daughter only rented a wing, so naturally they were too embarrassed to use the big kitchen. Fortunately, they There is a stove on the ship. If you bring the stove over, you can cook just as well if you put it under the eaves.

After the situation in Songxi Town stabilized, Jiang Ning hired Yang Han to help pick up the goods. A shipment of goods was given ten cents. With Yang Han's ability, the shipment could be finished in about an hour, and it would not delay his business. , he can also earn some extra money for drinks, so he will naturally not refuse, and Yang Han is very reliable in doing things. Jiang Ning does not have to worry at all, he is just thinking about taking a breather and resting for a few days.

Zhou suddenly ran to the door in a hurry and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's not good! The Yamen came to the village and said they wanted to read out the second sister-in-law's sentence!"
