Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 242: Mrs. Cai and her husband enter Li Yuer's house

Due to the increase in the number of employees, Li Yuer decided to use the backyard as a staff dormitory, and all the workers in the Li family moved into her house.

The ox cart stopped in front of Li Yuer's imposing gate. There was a pair of doorposts in front of the gate, which were replaced by Li Yuer later.

Originally there was a pair of stone lions. The original owner of the house was an official, so it was right to use stone lions. After Li Yuer came, he had the doorpost replaced with ones carved with wheat ears, bottles and quails. "Sui Sui, Bottle and Quail" is homophonic to "peace every year".

"Is this the house that Yu Baoer bought?" Old man Li was stunned by the magnificent house in front of him. At this time, he couldn't believe that this was the house bought by Li Yuer.

Old Mrs. Cai patted his arm gently and said, "You old man, why can't you believe this? Our Yu Baoer is very capable, just be at ease and enjoy the good life with him."

Li Laosan jumped off the ox cart and helped his parents get off.

"Dad and Mom, Yu Baoer will arrange for you to stay in the west room of the main courtyard. Please check if there is anything you need and I will go and buy it for you."

Li Yuer has lived in the east room for a while. It is full of her things and it is very troublesome to move them around.

Old man and his wife Li had no objection to Li Yuer buying a house for them. Now the Li family's shop, fields and houses in Fushui Village were basically purchased by Li Yuer.

Logically speaking, since the Li family has divided up, it would be reasonable and legal for the second branch to keep everything for themselves.

They were only grateful to Li Yuer and sincerely hoped that Li Yuer would get better and better.

It was Cao Deyao who opened the door. Cao Junxing followed Li Dalang and cooked. He was a better cook than Li Dalang, and he quickly learned how to cook seafood from Li Dalang.

Cao Deyao and his son now live in the guest room in the backyard, making it convenient for them to teach Li Dalang cooking.

Now she can cook independently, and teaches Li Dalang other cooking skills from time to time.

The moment the door opened, the sight of rockery, flowing water, flowers, trees, pavilions and towers made Old Man Li and his wife freeze in place.

"Is this, is this really Yu Baoer's house?" This time it was Old Lady Cai who asked uncertainly.

Li Laosan drove the ox cart inside, "That's right, Dad and Mom, you two can go in boldly, just like going back to your own home."

Li Yuer has already hired someone to renovate the yard and replant flowers, plants and trees. These flowers, plants and trees are the same as the greenery at the pier. They were all dug from the mountains by the villagers of Fushui Village according to a list they had made. It is economical and looks good.

At this time, it is the season when flowers are in full bloom and trees are lush. The garden is full of flowers in various colors, which is very beautiful.

Li Laosan drove the ox cart into the cowshed in the backyard and took a pot of beans from the warehouse to reward Dahuang. From the spring plowing to now, the cows and donkeys in the family were the most tired. They were either working in the fields or hauling goods in the town, and occasionally they had to deliver goods to the dock.

Rhubarb was mooing and chewing beans in big mouthfuls, and his eyes seemed to be smiling.

When Li Laosan came back from the backyard, he saw the old man and his wife still standing there.

"Mom and Dad, why don't you come into the house?"

Old man Li asked in bewilderment: "There are so many houses, which one should I go into?"

Li Laosan slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I forgot about this matter. Come with me."

Although Cao Deyao is Li Dalang's master, he is a strong-willed and rule-abiding person. He never enters the main courtyard casually. He just lets people in and then goes back to the backyard.

Li Laosan carried the luggage and led the two people into the west room of the main house.

"Dad and Mom, this is your room."

The room was filled with brand new furniture, a mahogany step-out bed, solid wood carved tables and chairs, a large double-sided carved wardrobe, fine cloth curtains, tea sets on the table, potted plants on the windowsill, the flowers inside were in full bloom, and there was a faint fragrance in the room.

"This, this is really for us to live in? Doesn't this make us the master and his wife?" Old Mrs. Cai also became upset.

Li Laosan put the two people's simple luggage on the table and said, "Dad and Mom, these are all custom-made by Zhang's Wood Shop. Erlang and Yu Baoer have some connections with the boss of Zhang's, so the prices are the lowest and it didn't cost much money.

Anyway, just stay here and don't think too much. I'm going back to the store to help out. If you two need anything, tell me tonight and I'll make sure to prepare it for you tomorrow."

Old man Li used his rough hands to carefully touch the fine redwood and said, "It's already like this, what else can you lack?"

"Okay, I don't need anything, I'll go back first." Li Laosan nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait, where is the kitchen?" Old Mrs. Cai asked quickly. The house was so big that the kitchen would probably be difficult to find.

Li Laosan personally led the two of them to visit the toilet and kitchen.

"Oh my goodness, a kitchen is bigger than the boat we used to have, and there are more than one." Old man Li was really enlightened.

Old Mrs. Cai looked at the spacious and bright toilet and exclaimed, "This toilet is brighter than the living room of an ordinary family. Our Yu Baoer really knows how to enjoy life."

The toilet was modified by Li Yuer later, according to the design of his previous life, and is equipped with a toilet and flush.

Li Laosan explained: "This is different from Fushui Village. This house was not designed by Yu Baoer. It was bought from an official. The official's relatives in the capital were convicted and exiled, so they were in a hurry to sell it, which allowed Yu Baoer to get a bargain. Otherwise, our family really couldn't afford this house."

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she was delighted and said, "Our Yu Baoer is a blessed child with great luck."

Old Man Li agreed and said, "That's right. In the past, we could pick up whales, and now we can pick up houses."

Li Laosan no longer listened to his parents' nagging. He responded with a few words and ran away. It was almost time to harvest the seafood.

Da Huang was also full and satisfied. Li Lao San patted Da Huang's head and said, "You have worked hard these days. Let's change Da Hei tomorrow."

He drove a ox cart to the dock. At this time, the dock was crowded with people and all the boats from Tuwozi Village had come ashore.

The village chief was there to maintain order.

"Be quiet, everyone. Divide the seafood for me. Don't try to pass off inferior goods as good ones or play those tricks. If I catch you once, I won't want your goods anymore!"

The village chief warned the villagers, fearing that some of them would make a mistake and offend the Li family, and then the Li family would stop buying goods from them and go to Fushui Village instead.

The Li family accepts all goods, including all common seafood, and the price they offer is still the highest market price.

In the past, they could only sell a portion of their goods, and they had to pick and choose, only selling the best ones, which only brought them around ten copper coins a day.

Each ship can carry 100 kilograms of seafood. There are about 50 ships going out to sea this time, which means 5,000 kilograms of seafood, which is not a small number.

The villagers were a little worried because they hadn’t received the money yet. Could the Li family consume so much goods?

The village chief thought of something and shouted, "The Li family will be here soon. You should take good care of the seafood. Li's family will sell them alive. Don't let them die. The weather is getting hot. If you can't do that, you can hang them on the side of the boat in a net bag and keep them in the sea!"

If there are people who don’t know about this, please follow it immediately.
