Chapter 7 Got Rich
"My fish is the only one in the county. It costs 1 yuan per catty. If it is missing, I will not sell it." Liang Xiaonan said.
She heard it just now, the restaurant sells it to customers at 5 yuan a catty.
Zhang Ming also wanted to bargain. Now pork is only 80 cents a catty, apples are only 2.5 cents, big and thick biscuits are only 3 cents each, and fish is 1 yuan, which is really sky-high.
He had already made a calculation in his mind. Liang Xiaonan's fish was very big. If it cost 1 yuan a catty, he would have to pay hundreds of dollars today.
A country girl earns a hundred yuan by catching a few unowned wild fish, she is too dark and greedy.
The waiter ran over and said, "Manager, what should we do? We all order mandarin fish, and now there are more than 30 tables ordering fish."
Zhang Ming and Liang Xiaonan heard the complaints of the guests clearly at the door: "It's the best restaurant, the ingredients are not enough, it's not as good as a private restaurant!"
At this time, a big man came down from upstairs, he was 1.9 meters tall, and he didn't look like a good guy. He said in a low voice: "Mr. Xie wants to eat mandarin fish."
"Okay, okay, let's do it right away." Zhang Ming immediately made a 180-degree turn, and said flatteringly, "Mr. Xie wants to eat fish from our shop. It is our honor."
"I want the same mandarin fish that that person ate just now."
"Ah, yes, yes!" Zhang Ming sent the big guy upstairs with a smile on his face as if singing.
Seeing the big guy go upstairs, Zhang Ming said to Liang Xiaonan: "One yuan is one yuan, Xiao Liang, I want all your fish!"
Liang Xiaonan's big eyes flickered twice, and he thought to himself, who is this Mr. Xie, Zhang Ming is afraid to be like this when he says he wants to eat mandarin fish! free(w)ebnov(e)l
Zhang Mingjiao caught fish from the water tank and weighed them. There were a total of 12 fish, including mandarin fish, herring and grass carp, totaling 122 catties.
The accountant paid Liang Xiaonan 122 yuan, and Zhang Ming asked the waiter to pack 5 steamed buns for Liang Xiaonan, and wrapped a braised rabbit head in lotus leaves.
"Xiaoliang, the price I gave you, the whole Yu County can't find a second one. Also, the rabbit head is our special dish, I take good care of you, right?"
"Thank you, Manager Zhang!" Liang Xiaonan smiled lightly. The rabbit head was moved, and someone else probably returned it.
Liang Xiaonan counted out 15 yuan, stuffed the rest into the space, walked out of the restaurant, and handed the money to Liang Xiaobei: "Here, this is today's fish money."
Liang Xiaobei didn't know that she dumped 12 fish. He thought that the two fish caught in the morning, 15 yuan, was a huge sum of money.
He grabbed a stack of bills and excitedly counted them over and over again.
"Stop counting, eat quickly." Liang Xiaonan pointed to the steamed buns and rabbit heads, and moved the large water tank to the cart.
Liang Xiaobei was so greedy that his mouth was drooling, but he still held back and said, "Go home and eat with grandma."
"Eat it, it's free, it's so hot, it won't be good if it turns rancid. There's a biscuit seller across the street, let's buy a few for grandma to take home."
Liang Xiaobei these years let alone eat enough, seeing Tiandi being beaten to death by Liang Dazhuang, where did he touch steamed buns and meat?
Grabbed the steamed bun three or two times and swallowed one without chewing much.
"Fish is so easy to sell, I'll catch it tomorrow morning."
"I'll catch it with you." freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
The two of them went to the biscuit shop, bought 10 biscuits, and spent 30 cents. I bought meat buns again, wrapped in lotus leaves, one for grandma and the other for Xiaobei to eat.
Liang Xiaobei was reluctant to eat, and seeing Liang Xiaonan swallowing one in three mouthfuls, he couldn't help saying, "Sister, don't choke."
"I want to finish eating quickly and hurry, it's too late to go back, grandma is in a hurry."
Originally, she wanted to buy some small fish fry, forget it, let’s wait another day, it’s too late today.
The road at night is difficult to walk, there are no street lights, and the lights are dark. Liang Xiaonan ran home with deep feet and shallow feet.
In this era, there is no TV or radio in the mountain village, so Liang Xiaobei's mind is full of ghost stories told by the village elders.
It’s okay during the day, but walking at night at night, those ghost stories come out one by one.
The two of them were rushing on the road under the moonlight. The owl in the mountain said "oh oh" a few times, and suddenly felt creepy. Liang Xiaobei asked Liang Xiaonan: "Sister, are you afraid of ghosts?"
"Ghost?" Liang Xiaonan laughed out of fear in Liang Xiaobei's voice, "Xiaobei, shall I tell you a ghost story?"
"Sister, stop talking!"
"Man, what are you afraid of! Those are all legends, has anyone seen a ghost?"
Liang Xiaonan naturally wouldn't tell ghost stories to Liang Xiaobei, she never forgets to accumulate laughs, how can she waste time!
"In a dark night, a man was driving at night and passed a cemetery. Suddenly, he found a cluster of fires in the distance that flickered and flickered. Oh, 'wisps'!"
"He picked up a stone tremblingly and threw it towards the fire. I saw the red light flying leisurely to the back of another grave."
“He picked up another stone and threw it towards the fire light, and saw the red light flying towards the next grave. He was about to collapse, so he picked up another stone and threw it at the red light regardless.”
"I only heard an angry curse coming from behind the grave: 'Damn, who is it? Shit, smoke a bag of cigarettes and hit me three times.'"
Liang Xiaobei laughed hiahia, feeling that the night road is not so scary anymore.
At about 8:00 p.m., the siblings returned to Dakeng Village, and saw Grandma Liang standing there looking around from a distance.
"Grandma, it's so late, why are you still waiting here?"
Grandma Liang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them come back, and said, "It's good for you to come back, go home quickly, I boiled the noodle soup and it's cold."
The two siblings kept silent about selling fish to make money, but Grandma Liang asked, "I heard from Xiao Hongyu that the two of you went to the county seat? Why are you still dragging our big water tank?"
Liang Xiaonan whispered, "Grandma, tell me when you go home."
At home, Liang Xiaonan unloaded the water tank, Liang Xiaobei pulled grandma into the house, handed the remaining 13 yuan and 40 cents to Grandma Liang from his pocket, and took three white flour steamed buns, 10 sesame seed cakes, 5 Steamed buns, braised rabbit heads wrapped in lotus leaves, take it out for grandma.
Grandma Liang was stunned, and asked repeatedly: "Hey, you guys, didn't you take it from someone else?"
The "take" in Dakeng Village means to steal.
"Oh, grandma, where do we get so much money and so much delicious food? This is all my sister earned from selling fish."
So he told Grandma Liang how Liang Xiaonan caught two big fish in the pool and sold them at a big restaurant in the city.
Liang Xiaonan said to Grandma Liang: "I borrowed the cart from Hongyu's family today, and gave them a few biscuits. I will borrow the cart next time."
Grandma Liang said: "That's right, we must not forget about him. But, Xiaonan, you can't say that you have made a lot of money by catching fish."
"I know grandma." Liang Xiaonan brought four sesame cakes and returned the cart to Xiao Hongyu's house.
One meal of dinner, Grandma Liang ate happily, crying and laughing: "Xiaonan, I didn't expect Grandma to eat meat buns one day."
The huge sum of 13 yuan and 42 cents, like Liang Xiaobei, counted it over and over again, so that Liang Xiaonan couldn't help but take out the more than 100 yuan he had privately hidden for her to count.
"Xiaonan, are there any fish in the pond?" Grandma Liang never thought that two fish would sell for so much money.
"I don't know either, there should be more, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
Liang Xiaonan is now thinking about the peach tree.
The fish fry dripped with a few drops of spiritual spring liquid grew into top-quality fat fish. I don't know what will happen to the wild peach tree on the mountain that she dripped with spiritual spring liquid.
