Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

This is the case. I originally saw a lot of rivers overflowing due to the spring rain. Young Jin went down the river along the high place. I did not expect to go to a place where the river base was small. The river that spread to the lowlands brought fish. Young Jin saw the fish. Without saying anything, he first blocked the gap of the river embankment to prevent the fish from swimming back along the river, and then pulled up his trousers to go underwater. The place that had been flooded was nearly 40 centimeters high. Go catch fish in the depression.

The river was muddy, and the young Jin didn’t see clearly what fish were in it at the beginning, just thinking about catching the fish. But when she caught the first fish and left the water, it immediately reacted! Mandarin fish! Young Jin immediately exclaimed, and then hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, now there was rain and no people around.

Young Jin did not bring any tools with him when he went out. He only brought a wooden barrel and a homemade twine fishing rod. He threw the fish into the wooden barrel with his hands and feet, and used both hands to make feet. He did not care about the slippery ground. He crawled out of the depression and hurried home with the wooden barrel.

Su and several daughters are at home stitching the clothes that several people have already worn. When they hear something moving outside, they know that it is the young gold who is back. Youzhu quickly ran out of the rain and opened the courtyard door: “Sister Sister, you’re back!” Reaching over the wooden bucket in her hand, she only saw a fish with a big slap and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed: “Rain and fish Did n’t you go out? “

Young Jin couldn’t care about telling her so much, she rushed into the warehouse on the side of the kitchen where food and miscellaneous items were piled up, found a hemp bag, and then entered the main room to find Su Shi using scissors to cut the sack along the seam. open.

Su Shi felt a little inexplicable: “What’s a good sack to do?”

Young Jin gasped for a while, holding down the caper in her heart: “Mother, I found a group of mandarin fish in a depression on the river bank where the embankment was terminated! The mandarin fish is more valuable than the average fish! The water in the puddle is too much. More, I cut a sack as a fishing net to catch all the fish, let alone sell a couple of silver! “

Seeing that her daughter had a right way, Su did not ask much, and cut the sack three times or two. When several other little girls heard that they were going to fish, they all hurriedly approved thick thick clothes to follow behind You Jin to help fish. Su Shiteng couldn’t open his body, so he stayed at home and took Youbao with a large pot of water, and boiled the thick soup to wait for the daughters to come back to drink.

Besides, the younger sisters Jinyou, Yinyin, and Youzhu went to the place where Yujin found mandarin fish in their backs, and they did not meet the villagers of Wuliqiao along the way. They saved a lot of explanations. The sisters reached the puddle, took off their shoes and launched the water one after another. The young gold and the young silver pulled the sacks that were cut open, and chased the mandarin fish in the water to catch them.

Although the water in the puddle is not shallow, the area is only one point in size, and the young Jin sisters chased the mandarin fish in the direction of their escape, but in a few trips, the mandarin fish in the puddle were completely emptied.

The young beads on the edge of the puddle kept loading the fish into the basket. When the young gold and silver came out of the puddle, they had already filled the baskets from the three sisters. Young Jin smiled and saw the muddy burlap net in the water after seeing her teeth, and the sisters quickly went home with their baskets in their backs.

In the courtyard of the Su family, under the eaves of the kitchen, the two tubs that were used to wash clothes and take a bath are now filled with fresh water just taken from the well. Some three people in the water are crowded swimming Mandarin fish caught back in the rain. After taking a hot bath, the sisters held a thick porcelain bowl and drank the steaming cold soup. They looked at the small five, six and seven with their mouths open around the two tubs. They felt very interesting. Young Jin smiled and said, “Primary 5, can we eat fish tonight?”

Young Ling nodded again and again, she likes to eat fish, especially this kind of fish that she has never seen before, the elder sister said it was delicious. The young **** the side looked at her looking drooling and stretched her finger to poke her forehead: “Xiaowu is a little cat, and he likes to eat fish! But this fish is going to be exchanged for silver, no For you to eat!”

When she heard that she could not eat, Yuya suddenly shrunk her small mouth and looked at the fish swimming in the water. She really wants to eat fish! But the third sister said that the family now lacks the most money, alas, be patient!

The young Jin on the side looked at Xiao Wuyi’s very lost but very sensible look, and couldn’t help but sigh and smiled: “We grabbed so many, we can eat two tails by ourselves. The original purpose of earning money is to let you eat Isn’t the full meal? “I just started fishing for two mandarin fish weighing about half a catty and threw them into the side basket:” We will eat steamed mandarin fish tonight. “

When the mandarin fish in March is the most delicious, the steamed mandarin fish does not even need to add any seasoning, just add some soy sauce to season, the steamed mandarin fish tastes so delicious that people can swallow their tongues! The Su family ’s taste for this meal was still unsatisfactory. Even when the Su family lived for decades, it was the first time to eat such a delicious fish, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his mouth was still aftertaste. How much silver must be sold for the fish you eat! “

Juvenile gold has never sold mandarin fish, but it is also known that there were no fishermen specializing in farming mandarin fish in ancient times. These are wild mandarin fish, and the meat is delicious. But she had no idea of ​​her own, so she had to guess a little: “Should I be able to sell a better price than crucian carp?”

***

The next day the genius was bright, and the young gold took the young silver to put on the clothes and carried the half barrel of mandarin fish into the city. Due to the rainy and rainy days, the number of people entering the city was much less. The sisters waited on the official road for a while before waiting for the bullocks on the weekdays.

Entering the Nancheng Gate of Luohe Prefecture, the sisters carried the wooden barrel to the direction of Yunweixuan. With so many mandarin fishes, I am afraid that only a large restaurant such as Yunweixuan can open a good-priced wallet to round their own fish.

Today, Huang Erye is worried. The Yun Wei Xuan ’s restaurant in the first two days had a spring feast with a special taste of spring. It was also very vassal and elegant. Some of the silver in the city went to join in the fun. The running water in this shop is as irritable as this continuous rainy day.

In this box, Er Huang was in full flames, and the cook behind the cook went to the front to find Er Huang, “Er Ye, the little girl who sent the bamboo rat last time gave it away today.” A half barrel of mandarin fish is here! “

“Half barrel mandarin fish!” Anyone who has some research on eating also knows that it is a good time to eat mandarin fish. The fishermen in Kolohe Prefecture occasionally send mandarin fish, but the amount is small. Barrel mandarin fish is indispensable, so Huang Erye was so surprised. Hurry to come from the front to the backyard, he wants to see how these mandarin fish.

Sister Jin Jin was invited into the back kitchen’s gallery this time, but for a moment, the well-dressed white fat man he met the first time came to himself with joy. Young Jin also guessed that he was the second lord of the population, and he also bent down very politely: “Yellow Huang!”

Huang Er responded to her vaguely, all eyes fell on the wooden barrel with half a barrel of mandarin fish in front of her. All eyes were full of satisfaction, and it took a while to move her eyes from the mandarin fish to Young Jin: “Little girl, how are you going to sell this mandarin fish?”

Young Jin didn’t know the price of mandarin fish, so he made a fool: “How much silver does the second man think this mandarin fish is worth?”

“It’s a chicken thief’s girl!” Huang Erye didn’t get angry when she said that, and he shook the folding fan in his hand with a smile: “We can also be regarded as old acquaintances. In this way, I will count you three dollars for a fish. Yinzi, I am also round this mandarin fish, how ?? “The price given by Huang Erye is not too high, but it is also suitable. After all, it is round regardless of size.

Young Jin frowned for a while and thought about it for a while before saying: “Cheng, Er Ye, and there are many mandarin fish in my family of equal size. If you want me, I will sell it to you. If you don’t want me, Sell ​​to another house? “

When the second grandfather heard that she had a lot at home, all the hands holding the folding fan shook, and the voice asked with a slight trembling: “How much do you have?”

Young Jin thought for a while, and slowly said: “Today we have sent 17 tails. There are more than 50 tails at home. They are all the same size, but our family does not have a oxcart. Come on so. “

“Okay! Okay! Okay!” Huang Erye kept talking, and the folding fan in his hand was even more exciting: “Little girl, you fish, I want it all! Let’s give these seventeen tails of silver first Now, second lord, I will let the guys in our restaurant drive you back to the mule car, how about pulling the fish back? “Yellow Huang is happy! Nearly seventy tailed mandarin fish, enough for him to make a mandarin fish feast, this mandarin fish feast, the limelight must return to Yun Wei Xuan immediately!

Young Jin was also very satisfied. With five or two silvers in her arms, she sat on the mule car and went back to Wuli Bridge. On the way, Young Jin also bought a good pork belly weighing about five kilograms. The sisters were very happy. .

The mule car ran much faster than the oxcart, but left the city within a quarter of an hour outside the Sujiamen on the west side of the Wuliqiao River.

Hearing the sound of animals outside, and then the voice of the elder sister, the young pearl who was staying at home hurried over to open the door: “Elder sister, you are back!” After seeing the elder sister, she also followed three strange men and couldn’t help but retreat A few steps: “This is?”

You Jin took the two into the yard with a smile and walked to the kitchen eaves to see the mandarin fish. You Yin took the young pearl and stood aside and whispered: “This is the steward of Yun Wei Xuan who sent the fish. You can earn a lot of money! “Hearing that the fish was sold, the young beads were also very happy, and stood obediently without disturbing them.

It was a cook from Yunweixuan and a little steward who followed the fish. The three men stood around the tub for a while. The cook nodded to the little steward with satisfaction, and the steward became young Jin Weiwei nodded: “Miss Su, then according to the price negotiated by the second man, let’s count how many fish we have!”

The two took turns counting, but they finished counting in a moment, and the manager said: “The total is fifty-seven. According to the price of three dollars and one tail, the total is seventeen two one.” Then he took out eighteen from his arms. The two silvers handed the young gold: “The second lord gave an explanation and made up for Su girl.”

Youjin was also polite. She took the silver directly, and gave them two wooden tubs in her house. She watched them move the fish to the mule, and then turned back to Luohezhou City. Youjin smiled. eye.
