That night, Liang An and Mei Jingjing had dinner early and put away the dishes.
It's not that Liang An intends to finish a fish that is dried at home, but if he doesn't dump it out, he will get a new harvest tonight. Where will he put it when he gets more?
When Liang An finished cleaning up and comforted Mei Jingjing to rest, Mei Jingjing kept looking at him.
"Master, aren't you going to create something tonight?"
When she said this, Mei Jingjing's face instantly turned redder than a monkey's butt from embarrassment, while Liang An touched her head.
"If we don't create anymore, this is just a one-time transaction. If we create more, a small county can't afford so much.
In a few days, a merchant wanted to buy my floorboards. I sold the floorboards to him and received a hundred taels of silver, which was enough for us to live a stable life. "
"What? One hundred taels buys a base plate, but you, the head of the house, don't have a base plate either."
Mei Jingjing looked at Liang An anxiously, "We are all honest people in charge of the house, so we can't lie."
Liang An smiled and touched Mei Jingjing's head.
"Don't worry, how can I lie? I will make templates when I have time. Now that I have some money, I am not in a hurry to go to the county to make more money, so I will make templates honestly.
After I really take action, I will take you back to your parents' home. It is unreasonable not to go back to your parents' home after getting married, and I don't want you to be pointed at your back by your relatives in your hometown. "
When Liang An said this, Mei Jingjing even lowered her head, "My boss is so kind to me. I will never let you down. It's just that my damn belly is so unsatisfactory that I can't give birth to a baby because of the cold." Son and half daughter.”
While talking, Mei Jingjing started crying again, and Liang An was just about to comfort her when she heard a knock on the door.
"Okay madam, just rest here honestly. Didn't we agree? Let's grow old together in the future."
After finally comforting Mei Jingjing, Liang An went to open the courtyard door. Liang Sheng was already waiting for Liang An at the courtyard door.
"Brother, I'm here."
Liang An nodded, and then spoke quietly to Mei in the room.
"Madam, I will take Xiaosheng to catch all the fish, and I will leave this business to Xiaosheng from now on.
You are not allowed to go out casually anymore. This time, everyone is watching. If everyone can't see, where can I find such a good wife like you? "
Liang An said something, and Mei sat up from the bed quietly.
"Master, can you go there during the day? It's dark at night and I'm afraid.
I just accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the water. What's more, it's still daytime, and you can't see anything at night. "
Before Mei Jingjing finished speaking, Liang An smiled and waved his hand.
"Madam, you are worrying too much. Have you forgotten that the first time I took you to fish was also at night?"
When it came to night, Mei Jingjing couldn't help but think of that noisy night, and immediately stopped saying anything. When Mei Jingjing finally suppressed her shyness, she raised her head again to look at her boss, wanting to see her again. Say something to the boss. Your boss has gone out.
Liang An took Liang Sheng to the river quickly, and then pointed to some traps by the river and introduced them to Liang Sheng.
Soon the plump fish was pulled out of the water.
"Is this okay?"
Liang Sheng looked at Liang An dumbfounded, and Liang An patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong with this? From now on, it will be your business."
If this fish can be sold in counties or towns, then sell it. If it cannot be sold, you can pickle it and wait until it is not eaten in the winter. Taking out a few tails is also good food. "
"How can this happen? This is your business, Brother An. How can I do such a thing?"
Liang Sheng kept refusing, while Liang An looked at him.
"I am the closest to your family in the village. What's more, although our village is Liangjia Village, years of wars and the fact that our Liang family was originally a military household only caused my father to become a scholar. You are exempted from military service, but what about your family?
Isn't your father still serving in the army? When your father returns home, it might be your turn. I don't want you to be so skinny and suffer in the army. Why do you want to see me outside? "
Liang An couldn't help comforting Liang Sheng, and Liang Sheng gritted his teeth for the last time.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother An, but I will definitely get the money from selling the fish to Brother An. When I need it, I will ask Brother An to borrow it."
"Look at what you said. If you say it's your business, it's your business."
"How can this be done?"
Liang couldn't help but refuse, and finally the two of them argued over each other.
Half of the last person.
However, Liang Sheng was responsible for selling all the fish. Originally, Liang An wanted to give him more, but Liang Sheng kept shaking his head.
"No, no."
In the end, each person gets half the money and everyone gets what he wants.
When Liang An brought a fish, he was ready to replenish Mei Jingjing tomorrow. Thinking about how to make several delicacies with this seven or eight kilogram carp, he patted his thigh again.
The living conditions now are really bad. In addition to roasting, it is also boiled. Although there is a saying of stir-frying, there is indeed no oil.
Do you want to squeeze out more oil?
But in this remote country, even if you are making delicacies from mountains and seas, will anyone take care of your business?
impossible.
Liang An just returned to his courtyard with random thoughts. When he came in, he saw that the kerosene lamp in the room had burned out.
She couldn't help but smile, her wife had gone to bed early, not bad.
Just as he opened the courtyard door, a burst of swishing sounds came from the room.
"who?"
Listening to this timid voice, Liang An hurriedly said, "Don't worry, madam, it's me!"
"Is the boss back?"
While she was talking, Mei Jingjing had already groped her way to the table, struck a spark with two flints, and lit the kerosene lamp.
Seeing that the kerosene lamp remained basically the same as when he went out, Liang An couldn't help but smile.
"Madam, why didn't you take a rest and turned out the lights? Are you waiting for me?"
"Um."
"If you want to wait for me, just keep the lamp burning. Aren't you afraid of being all alone?"
Mei Jingjing stood beside the table like a child who had made mistakes.
"Aren't you afraid of wasting oil? The master finally bought it from the county town, but gold is very expensive, so it is better to save it for the master to use when he is reading.
We have nothing to do after eating and drinking this evening, so don't waste this light. "
"Hey. Being able to marry such a virtuous daughter-in-law like you is really a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes."
Liang An just sighed, Mei Jingjing's face was a little dark again, and there were tears in her eyes.
"It's just that the slave family is not living up to expectations, it's just..."
Seeing what Mei Jingjing wanted to say, Liang An quickly waved his hand to stop her.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now we have given away half of the business. You have to let your husband think carefully about any business that can bring in money. Then you won't talk about these sad things. Maybe in the future When we have money, we will cure you, and we will have our own daughters and sons."
"is that so?"
Although Mei Jingjing was curious about giving away half of the deal that Liang An said, she was still more concerned about whether she could give birth to a son and a half for Liang An.
Liang An just talked about some interesting things with Mei Jingjing, and told Mei Jingjing what happened between him and Liang Sheng. Although Mei Jingjing didn't understand why Liang An would give away half of the business, but It suddenly dawned on me,
"Yes, the head of the family is a scholar, how can he go fishing every night and sell fish during the day?
There is no time to study now. Now that we have money, we should let the head of the family study hard. After a while, it seems that in the spring of next year, he will be able to take the hometown examination to become a scholar, right? "
As soon as Mei Jingjing finished speaking, Liang An stepped forward to help her.
"Madam, it's late at night, it's better to go and rest. Let's talk about the scholar next year. But before this exam, I must first let my lady live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Reading is a bottomless pit, so I can’t let my wife lose it. As for scholars catching fish? What's this? It's just that I have the idea of making money, and no one else can.
I need my own people, and Liang Sheng is good. "
Liang An didn't mean what he said, but Mei Jingjing looked at Liang An holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, not knowing what to think about.
