Chapter 153 Fishmonger

And Xia Xiaoqiao didn't know this at all, she just said it casually.

I just made an excuse, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Old Man Zheng.

However, this is not important. After Lu Dashan came back, he was stunned when he saw the empty fish bucket.

"What about the fish?"

"It's sold!"

Xia Xiaoqiao was a little absent-minded, and she was very decadent.

"sold?"

Lu Dashan was dumbfounded, "Sold it all? Who did you sell it to?"

"If it is sold, it is sold. Well, this is the silver that was sold. The man bought it all in one go, and sold a total of three taels of silver."

After speaking, he handed the money to Lu Dashan.

And Lu Dashan, who took the money, felt like he was dreaming.

I didn't pass the word, but my sister-in-law actually sold all the fish. The bucket is still neatly arranged without any water stains. This method of buying fish is really extraordinary OK!

And when Lu Dashan was holding the money in a daze, Xia Xiaoqiao asked, "Cousin Dashan, are there many fish sellers in our square market?"

"Why aren't there many? There must be more than a dozen barrel fish caught and sold from the river like this, not counting the vendors at the fish market."

When Xia Xiaoqiao heard it, her eyes lit up.

If every family is like their village, wouldn't a family of five hundred and ten families get five thousand points?

I don't know if there are many fish in the fish market.

No matter, time is running out, what is done first counts.

So immediately began to flicker Lu Dashan again.

"Cousin Dashan, there is a shortage of food here, and many people can't buy rice. The customer who bought the barrel fish in our village before meant that he wanted to collect more fish and marinate it. If there is no food, he can still eat it." It satisfies hunger and can be sold for a good price at that time."

"what?"

After hearing this, Lu Dashan was astonished, "This idea is very good, hey, it's a pity that we don't have enough money. If it is possible, wouldn't it be better for our village to do it?"

Xia Xiaoqiao didn't expect Lu Dashan to have such business acumen, but now is not the time to study this.

"Brother Dashan, there is a shortage of food now, and this fish may not be easy to sell, but this is a good idea. Let the people in the village pickle the fish and dry it, so that it can be used as rations."

After Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she hurriedly said: "However, let's put this matter aside for now. The most urgent thing is that the customer wants to collect all the big carp in the market now, saying that he can pay one tael of silver as wages. Just send the fish to the designated location, and when I thought about where to find such a good thing, I picked it up for you."

"real or fake?"

Lu Dashan was dumbfounded after hearing this, "Is there such a good thing? One tael a day? How many people go to work as long-term workers and only five hundred dollars a month, which is too much."

"Maybe it's a little too much, but that one just wants to worry about it. Besides, you're not alone. Everyone in our village has a share."

But there were only five people who came with him, and if one tael of silver was divided, each person would need 200 big bucks. Normally, a day of hard work would only make thirty or fifty bucks, that's all. sent.

And when it comes to this, is there any reason why it shouldn't?
So the whole market is churning.

"Someone actually collects fish? Still collect all of them?"

Where can I find such a good job?

So I saw a long line of bullock carts pulling barrels of fish heading for a house.

Lu Dashan and others managed the order, while Xia Xiaoqiao started to exchange points and settle fish money while there was no one around.

Two hours later, all the big carp in the whole town were sold out.

Shen Shi
A group of ten people came galloping on big bay red horses.

The leading man was dressed in a strong black outfit, wearing stars and moons, and rode past on horseback.

When they got to the door of Ji Ren Tang, one jumped down and strode into the door.

Old man Zheng, who was calculating the accounts at the moment, seemed to feel it, and when he looked up, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Boss? Why are you here?"

After speaking, he hurriedly walked out from the counter, and this man in black and strong clothes was none other than Ji Ren Tang's boss, Shen Wuye.

He looked around at the patients in the room, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing this, old man Zheng hurriedly bowed and smiled apologetically, "My master has worked hard all the way, please go to the private room to rest."

Shen Wuye gave him a faint glance, then lifted his foot and went up the stairs.

The old man Zheng quickly gave his apprentice a look, "Don't you hurry up to make tea? Oh, let the kitchen make a welcome feast."

"Yes--"

Chang Qi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly went to do it.

The old man Zheng followed into the private room with a guilty expression on his face.

Can you not feel guilty?
The room was full of patients who looked impoverished. How many of them could afford the consultation fees and medicines?
Not only could they not afford the money, but Ji Rentang had to eat porridge for fear that these people would starve to death.

But where does this money come from?
Isn't it all a loss?
This cannibal has a short mouth and short hands, so that old man Zheng is half a point shorter in front of his boss.

"My boss? But you're here for Miracle Doctor Xue?"

"What do you say?"

Shen Wuye smelled the fragrance of tea and couldn't help frowning, "This is?"

"Oh, this is Luxi tea, delivered by Mrs. Xia."

With a smile on his face, old man Zheng brought the topic directly to Xia Xiaoqiao.

Shen Wuye didn't care much about how Ji Ren Tang was run, and the reason why this branch was opened here was also because of its mission.

Now it seems that the original decision was extremely correct.

And after smelling the tea, he remembered the Lady Xia whom he saw here last time, and couldn't help but soften a lot.

"Luxi tea? It's also interesting."

After finishing speaking, Qianqian took a sip and said, "How is Miracle Doctor Xue going? I heard that Luxi Village was also affected this time? Is Miracle Doctor Xue still okay?"

"My master, don't worry, Mrs. Xia is here in Luxi Village, so it will be fine."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Old man Zheng was not in a hurry, and after refilling Fifth Lord Shen's cup of tea, he told everything he had heard in detail.

Fifth Master Shen didn't interrupt, and just listened carefully until Old Man Zheng mentioned Miracle Doctor Xue.

"You mean, Miracle Doctor Xue didn't hide from the beginning to the end? He stayed in Luxi Village all the time?"

Old man Zheng had cold sweat on his forehead, but he said bravely, "Exactly."

"The rain was so heavy that the people I sent to go to Luxi Village were blocked halfway. The rocks rolled down and they were seriously injured. They couldn't arrive on time. By the time they received the news, Luxi Village had passed the crisis. , it’s the old man’s dereliction of duty, please punish me.”

While speaking, old man Zheng bowed and bowed, his face full of remorse.

Fifth Lord Shen just sat there quietly like this, neither blaming him nor asking him to get up.

After a long time, he said softly: "This Miracle Doctor Xue has a weird temper. He always depends on his mood when saving people. He naturally knows how to survive, but such a big gamble is not in his character. I am afraid that such a person has something else to ask for when he goes to Luxi Village. .”

Old man Zheng looked up in confusion, "Is there anything else you want?"

Shen Wuye nodded lightly, then glanced at him and said, "Old Zheng, get up, your old man has saved my father's life, Shen can't afford such a big gift like you."

Old man Zheng bowed even deeper when he heard this.

"Don't dare, it was just a matter of little effort back then. Over the years, the Shen family and the old man have helped a lot, but in fact, the old man owes the Shen family a lot."

Shen Wuye got up after hearing the words, gently helped him up and said, "Elder Zheng doesn't need to be humble, if it's something else, I will never say no, but it's related to Master Xue, you should take care of it." Know the severity."

"If something goes wrong, you and I will both be killed, and it will be a disaster for the family."

 see you tomorrow
