Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

The next morning, Li Erlang slammed Li Yuer's door loudly.

"Yu Baoer, Nao Nao and the others are here, are you going to the town or not? If not, we'll leave!"

Li Yuer was half asleep. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she felt that the air was obviously colder than yesterday.

The quilt was wrapped tightly around her body, like a cicada cocoon. It seemed that when she fell asleep, her body instinctively felt the colder weather and wrapped itself in the quilt.

"Wait a minute, get up."

She actually didn't want to go at all, but she had to lead them for a while before she found a market. Once things were stable, she could just be a hands-off boss.

After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. She taught them some skills, but she could not always lead the way for them.

Sure enough, when I opened the door, the outside was covered in snow.

Li Yuer always felt that days when it snows are sacred days. Snow falls on the roofs, snow falls on the treetops, snow falls on the distant mountains, and snow falls into the sea. The white snow seems to cover the world overnight and purify the whole world.

Naonao and the other two were dressed in round clothes and wearing hats. They were sitting in the main room and chattering excitedly.

"Yubaoer, you are so lazy, even lazier than my Huahua (pig)." Biaozi said.

"Can you speak?" Erdan patted Biaozi on the back and said, "Can Yubaoer compare with Huahua? Even if Yubaoer is a pig, he is still a lucky pig!"

Li Yuer rolled her eyes at them. After all, she was still a pig.

She looked down at the bucket placed in the corner. Fish are not afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of lack of oxygen. Therefore, even in such cold weather as today, Nao Nao and the others did not dare to cover the bucket.

Everyone else had finished their meal, except Li Yuer. Zhao didn't get angry, but left some pancakes and pickled vegetables for her, as well as a few shredded radish meatballs and an egg left over from yesterday.

Li Yuer ate quickly and then put the remaining eggs in her arms.

Li Yuer looked at the buckets of fish and said, "By the time we get to town, the water in the buckets will probably freeze."

"What should we do then?" Nao Nao asked.

"Why don't you add a lid? I'll go home and get it. There's still time." Erdan said.

Li Erlang shook his head, "Gagai will die faster, he will suffocate to death in a short while."

He looked at Li Yu'er, chuckled twice, and asked, "Yu Bao'er, do you have any solution?"

Li Yuer was just thinking about this. Salt can lower the freezing point of water, but if too much salt is added, the sea fish will still die of dehydration. Moreover, on this day, the salt may not last long before it freezes again.

She thought of another idea and said, "How about this? Let's use a wheelbarrow to push the buckets, tie the three buckets together with ropes, and then wrap them with reed quilts."

"This is a good idea, you are worthy of Yu Baoer." Now that he had a solution, Erdan immediately smiled.

"Where can I get the quilt?" Biaozi asked.

Nao Nao said, "I have one at home. My mother recently changed a new quilt for my brother and left behind a reed quilt. I'll go home and get it."

Having said that, Naonao hurried home.

Li Erlang and his companions followed Li Yuer's instructions, placed the three buckets on the cart, and then secured them together firmly with ropes.

The triangle is the most solid structure. The three buckets tied together are very stable and there is no need to worry about water spilling when pushing the cart.

After Nao Nao brought back the reed fluff quilt, he wrapped the quilt around the bucket and tied it tightly with a rope.

Several people pushed the fish all the way to the town.

They first stopped in the alley at the back door of Nongchao Building. Li Yuer asked Nao Nao and the others to wait outside while she and Li Erlang went to knock on the back door.

It just so happened that the guy who opened the door had followed Lai Fu to the Li family to collect whale meat. When he heard that Li Yuer wanted to find Lai Fu, he went to tell him without saying a word.

"Yu Baoer, long time no see. You've gained weight." Lai Fu was wearing a long gown and a brand new cotton-padded jacket today. He looked very different from when they first met.

Li Yuer smiled and said, "Brother Laifu has grown taller and more handsome."

Lai Fu was indeed a man who had worked his way up from the bottom of Nongchao Building. He did not ignore Li Erlang and took the initiative to talk to him: "Erlang is here too this time, no wonder Yu Baoer is so happy."

After seeing the world a few times, and with Li Erlang's clever personality, he quickly learned some small talk skills. "Yu Baoer often talks about Brother Lai Fu at home. She is not happy with me. I think she is happy to see Brother Lai Fu."

Several people were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere soon became lively.

Lai Fu was even happier after hearing the purpose of Li Yuer and his sister's visit. There was no shortage of seafood in Dong Ri Nong Chao Lou, but fresh seafood was in short supply.

Those dignitaries like unique and superior ingredients.

He wanted to send someone to report to Manager Qian, but was rejected by Li Yuer, "Brother Laifu, it's not a big deal. The restaurant is busy before the New Year, so there's no need to alarm Uncle Qian."

Lai Fu agreed. Manager Qian was entertaining a distinguished guest at the moment. The guest was very shrewd and kept saying that restaurants in small places were not up to standard and could not compare to the various items in the capital.

Just look, the Li brothers and sisters sent fresh seafood. It is snowing today, and the old fishermen who occasionally break ice to fish don’t go out. The Li family’s bite of fresh seafood is really a timely help.

"Quick! Open the door!"

Lai Fu asked the waiter to open the back door and let Nao Nao and a few others in.

Biaozi was pushing the cart and entering a big restaurant for the first time, so his hands and feet were a little stiff.

Erdan followed behind Naonao, with his head lowered, but he kept stealing glances at him.

Naonao was also very nervous, but he thought that as the boss of Erdan and Biaozi, he naturally could not show cowardice in front of his younger brothers, let alone embarrass Yu Baoer. Instead, he walked with his head held high and his eyes straight ahead, but his expression was a little too serious and unnatural.

After scooping up the fish with a scoop net and inspecting the goods, Lai Fu directly gave a high price.

The price of eel is 20 wen per pound, the price of large yellow croaker is 12 wen per pound, and the rest are all 6 wen per pound, totaling 358 wen. Lai Fu gave the integer 360 wen.

After leaving the Nongchao Building, Erdan immediately became lively. "Yesterday, we only sold more than 300 coins for so many large items. Today, we only sold two ordinary large items, which is more than the giant grouper we had before."

Just now, when Naonao was in Nongchao Building, he took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around and stuffed his purse into the secret pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and hid it close to his body.

She wears a lot of clothes in winter, but she doesn’t look fat, and you can’t tell even if she has so much money hidden on her body.

"We have to thank Yu Baoer and Erlangge this time. If they didn't know the waiters in the restaurant, we wouldn't be able to make so much money." Naonao said.

"Yes, yes, yes, our Yu Baoer is smart, and our Erlang brother is prestigious." Erdan praised.

The corners of Li Erlang's mouth rose unconsciously. This was the first time in his life that someone praised him like this in person. He had to say, this feeling was really great.

Biaozi walked behind with the cart and asked, "Brother Naonao, shall we go back to the village directly or take a walk?"

Needless to say, Li Erlang likes shopping. Li Yuer doesn't care. Nao Nao and the others actually want to go shopping too. Before the New Year, the town will be very lively.

This dynasty might not be wealthy, but the atmosphere during the New Year holidays was particularly good. Perhaps it was because no one was very wealthy, and the New Year holidays were the only time when people could eat and dress well; or perhaps it was because the ancients respected gods and were particularly particular about the days for ancestor worship and worshipping gods, so naturally they were taken seriously.

Seeing that most people wanted to go shopping, Naonao naturally agreed, but he kept a closer eye on his money for fear of losing it.
