Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 109 Caught Fish

Ji Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, finally finishing the talk in one breath, and her palms were sweating.

"Okay, I'll provide you with a pattern every one or two months, except for festivals."

"Boss Yang, I have another request. I've sold the pattern to you, but I also have the right to embroider this pattern myself."

Seeing her open her mouth to ask, he quickly answered.

"I don't sell it in town. My family runs a peddler business. I sew it by hand and will make some to sell in the village. What do you think?"

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "You can come to the town to sell it, but the price cannot exceed ten cents, and you must wait for half a month after I have sold it before you can sell it."

It would be copied by someone else anyway, so she might as well do her a favor. Besides, she didn't plan to sell it at a low price.

"My name is Yang Yun. At the end of every month, you come to me to get the money and exchange money with me so that you don't have to run back and forth. At the end of the month, I also have to settle the monthly bills."

"Okay, Boss Yang." As he stood up to leave, he remembered something, "Boss Yang, I hope you can keep my cooperation with you a secret."

"If anyone asks, please don't reveal my identity. I'm just an ordinary person and don't want to get involved in complicated things."

Yang Yun nodded: "No problem, I'm afraid if I tell others, they might snatch you away."

Ji Wenhe smiled and talked to her about business for a long time.

When he stood up to say goodbye, he asked, "By the way, Boss Yang, do you have any scraps of cloth in your shop?"

She wanted to buy it back, maybe she could find suitable fabric to mend clothes or make dolls.

"Yes, if you want it, give me two cents and I'll give you a whole sack."

Anyway, she kept it for fuel at home.

"Can you show it to me?"

"Okay, come with me."

Yang Yun turned around and took her to the utility room, pointing to a worn-out sack: "That's it."

Ji Wenhe walked over, reached in and dug around underneath. There were pieces of cloth of different materials, most of which were unusable. There was also a piece that was half the size of his palm and was irregular in shape.

It could be made into a puppet, but it seems a little too small.

Who cares? As long as it can be sold for money.

There are also some small pieces that can be used as fillings.

He turned around and looked at her: "Boss Yang, can you please give me all the scraps of cloth from your house in the future?"

"All right, but what do you want the rags for?"

Yang Yun knew that the farmers would ask for some scraps of cloth to mend their clothes, but they wouldn't need that much. That sack weighed at least more than 20 kilograms.

Ji Wenhe did not hide the fact: "I couldn't afford cotton, so when I made the puppets myself, I thought of stuffing them with scraps of cloth."

Then he smiled and said, "Boss Yang, you just said that you would leave the scraps to me in the future. Don't raise the price when you sell them to me."

"How can that be possible? Don't worry, I will never raise the price. Isn't integrity the key to doing business?"

Besides, these are really useless to her.

"If you want it, you can go to other shops and have a look. They must have a lot of it."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Yang." That was exactly what she was planning.

Just as he came out carrying the worn cloth bag, the three brothers Shen Rongshan also arrived at the door in a donkey cart.

"Brother Shen, put this up there, and let's go check out other cloth shops and embroidery workshops."

Shen Wenshan asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what do you want so many scraps of cloth for?"

Ji Wenhe smiled mysteriously: "You will know later, let's go first."

Several people went to several shops and bought a sack of rags for three cents or five cents. The one that cost five cents meant that the sack was newer.

They didn't have a basket to put the scraps of cloth into, so the boss sold them the sack as well.

All in all, it weighs more than 60 kilograms.

The car was full of goods, with four people sitting on the side. There was no extra space, so it couldn't carry anyone else.

Ji Wenhe turned his head and looked at the things in the car: "I've bought everything I wanted to buy. Is there anything missing?"

"No shortage, I've bought everything." Shen Wenshan replied.

I haven't bought any scales, cloth, meat or vegetables yet, and I'll go catch some fish in the river later.

Shen Rongshan drove the car: "There is a river ahead, Wenshan, you stay and watch the car, we will go fishing."

He nodded: "Got it, you guys go quickly and come back soon."

To get to the creek, you have to walk through a forest, which takes about a minute.

Ji Wenhe stood by the side. The stream was not flowing. It was an irregular circle with many stones on the side, but the water was relatively clear.

Shen Yuanshan took off his shoes and walked towards the river.

"Yuanshan, be careful. Try to stretch your feet when you walk forward. There are deep pits in some rivers."

"I know, sister-in-law."

Shen Rongshan also took off his shoes: "Wen He, don't go in the water, the water is cold, wait by the side."

"Okay, be careful."

The two went down empty-handed, not knowing whether they could catch any fish.

After a while, Shen Yuanshan whispered, "Brother, it's here, come quickly."

Ji Wenhe squatted on the ground, holding his chin. They should bring some fishing tools.

It was not easy to catch it this way, and the fish escaped several times.

After trying many times, I finally caught one.

"Wen He, look, we caught it." Shen Rongshan held the fish tightly and raised his hand to show her as if to seek credit.

"That's amazing." Ji Wenhe clapped his hands, "Throw it to the shore, I'll watch."

Just as she finished her words, the fish was thrown next to her with a "whoosh" and jumped around on the ground.

I was afraid that it would jump back into the river, so I kicked it away.

It won't be long before the fish die from lack of oxygen. I forgot to bring a bucket when I came, but I ate them at night, so it doesn't matter.

Ji Wenhe ran back and freed up the basket.

Shen Wenshan asked: "Sister-in-law, how many fish did my brother catch?"

"It's just a crucian carp. It's not easy to catch. I guess we have to wait a while."

It was boring to just watch cars by himself, so he also wanted to go fishing.

After walking a few steps and looking back, Ji Wenhe handed him the basket: "You go and catch them together. I'll watch the car. The three of them can catch them quickly."

Shen Wenshan nodded with a smile: "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm going."

"go Go."

His desire to go was written all over his face, and he shook his head and laughed.

In the evening, there was rabbit meat, fatty pork, pork belly, and fish. The lean meat was not cooked and was kept for myself.

If you catch a lot of fish, make a few more.

Steamed with wine, it can remove the fishy smell.

When making a fish soup, add chili and cook one fish.

When I passed by the spice shop, I looked at the soy sauce and vinegar, which were expensive.

She was quite attracted by the various seasonings in the shop. The boss said that some spices were hard to come by and the prices were outrageous.

I can’t afford it now, I’ll satisfy my appetite when I have money.

About an hour later, the three brothers came back.

Shen Yuanshan carried the basket and said, "Sister-in-law, we caught six fish."

He had caught one, but it accidentally slipped out of his hand and swam away. His elder brother then said he didn't want to catch it anymore and went home.

Seeing how happy the three were, Ji Wenhe praised them, "You guys are amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to catch any."
