Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 345 Discussion

Shen Yuanshan asked: "Brother, we are not going to the town to buy goods this time. Let's go in the middle of the month after we finish the farm work at home."

"Okay, you decide. I think you have enough money."

"Enough." Now all the money they earn is in their own hands.

Ji Wenhe said: "If it's not enough, come and tell me, don't force yourself."

He nodded: "I understand, sister-in-law."

Arriving at the back alley of Jinxiufang, Shen Rongshan said, "Wen He, wait for us here."

"it is good."

Wait until they leave before knocking on the door.

Yang Yun had just come out from the front shop when she heard a knock on the door in the backyard and hurried over: "I'm coming."

He looked at her with a smile: "Come in, we made a lot of money this month."

"How much did you earn?" Ji Wenhe asked.

"I won't tell you, count it yourself."

The goods were placed under the eaves. Yang Yun led her into the house and placed two purses in front of her, one of which was bulging.

"Take a look. I guarantee you'll be extremely happy."

She opened the rope and counted it. It was nine thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, nearly ten taels.

"After you delivered the goods, my family and I worked very hard to pack all the cotton. On the Qixi Festival, the shop was packed with people."

Ji Wenhe smiled and took out five strings of copper coins: "Boss Yang, please help me change them into silver. It's inconvenient to take them back like this."

"No problem." She stood up and walked to the cabinet. "During the Mid-Autumn Festival this month, I think I can make a lot of money. Oh, and I have the fabric ready."

"Boss Yang, I want to come up with a style in the next two months. By the end of next year, I will no longer be producing puppets. I won't be able to draw anymore."

Yang Yun turned around, looking regretful: "Okay, let's do as you say. It would be great if you could keep painting."

It is possible, but I'm afraid it will cause some trouble.

"But it doesn't matter. Ever since our family had a doll, the shops in town have been trying every way to find out about it. If you keep drawing, I may not be able to protect you."

"When I went to give the puppets to the official's aunt, they asked me who drew them, and I evaded the question."

"Once or twice is fine, but if they ask me every time, I really can't handle it. After all, we are ordinary people, how can we fight with officials?"

Ji Wenhe understood: "That's why I want to do it until the end of next year. But if the situation is not good, I may not do it until May or June. Boss Yang, you have to be mentally prepared."

Yang Yun handed her the silver and said, "I understand. I have made a lot of money from the puppets during this period. People should not be too greedy. They should be content when they should be."

"My family also said that we have hooked up with the official's aunt in town, so we are not afraid of someone coming to cause trouble. But if someone has established a good relationship with the official and comes to cause trouble for our shop, we will not be able to avoid it at all."

"Well, as for whether it should be until May or June next year, or until the end of next year, it's up to you. Just remember to tell me in advance."

"Okay, I will, Boss Yang. Please prepare some more fabric for me and I will deliver it at the end of next month."

"Okay, let's go next door."

The two came into the house.

Yang Yun asked: "Wen He, why have I never heard you talk about your children?"

"I don't have any children yet."

"Ah? You don't have any children yet."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Yes, the house is not finished yet, but it will be finished soon, probably by the middle of this month."

"You've built the house and are planning on having kids?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'll consider having children after my two brothers-in-law get married."

Yang Yun nodded: "Your family has too many things to do, and it's not easy to take care of a child. When there's nothing to do at home and you can relax, you can think about having a child."

"Yes, I think so too."

She also thought that after the child was born, she would ask a aunt in the village to come and help take care of the child, and they would give her money.

Otherwise, the two of them may not be able to raise the child well.

"By the way, Wen He, do you want the silk net?"

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and said, "Take less. This month is a busy farming season and there is a lot of work to do at home."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway. You can send it to me when it's done."

The fabric was packed and the three baskets were moved to the back alley.

Yang Yun clapped her hands: "I won't stay here with you anymore, I have to pack the cotton quickly."

"Boss Yang, please go back to your work. My husband and his family will be here soon."

She nodded: "Okay."

After a while, Shen Rongshan parked the donkey cart at the entrance of the alley and two people walked over.

They went to buy a rake, a large spiked rake that was one meter wide. With it, they could use a donkey cart to till the land. The small rake at home was too troublesome.

"Have you bought everything?"

Shen Yuanshan replied: "I bought it, but I didn't buy the beef."

"Forget it if we didn't buy it. We can buy it early at the end of the year, or ask the boss to make an order." After thinking for a while, he said, "Buy more mutton this year and cook hot pot for us."

"Oh, Brother Shen, when you get home, make a small stove. It will be convenient for eating hot pot in winter. You can buy a smaller iron pot, or you can use the pot at home."

Shen Rongshan responded: "Tell me how big the stove should be when you get back."

"it is good."

When the time comes, go to the place that sells pots and ask if you can customize one and make a double-sided iron pot.

Ji Wenhe got in the car and turned around to see a fish tied up and hung on a rake. She asked curiously, "Why is the fish tied like this?"

Shen Yuanshan was puzzled: "Sister-in-law, haven't you seen it? Fishermen always tie fish like this."

"I seldom went to town before, and when we caught fish, we would just put them in buckets and carry them back home. I've never seen anyone tying fish like this."

Shen Rongshan explained: "This is the bowfishing technique. Fish cannot survive long out of water. If you tie them up this way, they will still be alive and kicking when they get to town."

"The fishermen fish far away, and they have to carry dozens of fish at a time. If they also carry dozens of kilograms of water and fish, they have to stop and go along the way. By the time they get to the town, it will probably be evening."

"Yes." Shen Yuanshan said, "When I went to buy fish just now, I saw a man picking up more than 30 fish. He said he jogged all the way here because he was afraid that there would be no one in the town if he arrived too late."

"Are there any techniques for tying fish?" she asked, looking at the fish.

"It's very simple, there's no technique involved. After you catch the fish, use a hemp rope to pass through the fish's mouth and nostrils, and tie the rope to the fish's tail when the fish bends over. Then put it in the water for half an hour or an hour, take it out, and tie the rope from the fish's tail to the fish's butt."

"When I was a kid, my elder brother and I went to a faraway river to catch fish. We did this, and the fish we brought back were alive and well. We also learned this from a fisherman."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Oh, so that's how it is. I understand. There are no fish in the stream in our village. If there were fish, we could dig a fish pond and raise them."

There are even fewer shrimps.
