Seeing Xu Zhengrong's nervous face, Xu Zhengcai cursed with a smile, "Look at how promising you are", and brought a light brown shabby purse to him: "Brother is not as rich as you, and you have money for this little money." Take it, since you want to start a business, you must spend enough capital, if you really lose money, you won't be unable to get married with this money..."

Xu Zhengrong knew that the eldest brother was kind to his younger brother, but he never thought that he was so kind to his younger brother. He decisively pushed away the purse that was handed to him: "How can this be done? Sister-in-law and Kidou'er are spending money , Brother, don’t worry about me, let’s leave it for Kidou’er’s private school.”

The eldest brother always likes to keep a straight face, and now seeing Xu Zhengrong rejecting, the stinky face stretched even longer, he "hummed" and turned his hands away, "I will give it to you if I say it, my father When my mother left, she deliberately divided her savings into three shares. This is the part you deserve. In the past, I saw you idle and knew that you would not be able to make a fortune. Now that you have your own ideas and are about to start a family, you can also Time to exercise more!"

After finishing speaking slowly, he bent down and blew out the oil lamp on the candlestick with a "poof". Under the clear and bright moonlight, Xu Zhengcai pushed open the door of the main room, and said softly: "It's getting late, go to bed. go."

There was no oil lamp in the room where Xu Zhengrong lived, because the moonlight shone in, and it shone brightly. He emptied out all the silver stuffed in his purse, thank you for counting it, it was 50 taels, for the Xu family For such a family, this is really a big deal. It must be that Xu's parents feel sorry for Yao'er and left all their savings here.

Xu Zhengrong sighed silently, put the money back into the purse, threw it into a small corner of the space and ignored it, the heavy purse happened to hit the dormant ginseng doll, and the ginseng doll said "Ouch" tenderly With a sound, the long roots were pulled out from the fertile soil, and he shouted with a bit of getting up: "Xu Zhengrong, you melon skin! Littering garbage without public morality will be struck by lightning!"

It was good that he didn't speak, but when Xu Zhengrong spoke, the whole space was shaken by his roar.

"You've been sleeping in the space for several days, so you should come out and do some activities. Otherwise, if you accidentally get fat enough to bloat, what should you do if you blow up the space?"

Xu Zhengrong grabbed the roots and forcibly pulled the ginseng baby out of the field.

Fearing that the beard he cherished so carefully would be broken in Xu Zhengrong's hand, the ginseng doll changed into a small human shape in a blink of an eye, jumped out of the space, jumped onto Xu Zhengrong's shoulder, and dragged him He pulled his hair hard twice before he was discouraged.

"You are fat! You are bloated! You are so fat that you have no friends! You are so bloated that you have no wife!"

The ginseng doll pouted angrily, and because of her extreme anger, the curse words actually rhymed somewhat.

Xu Zhengrong laughed, and rubbed the ginseng doll's head roughly, a little embarrassed: "You are too late to scold, and with your good words, Ah Shui is about to become my wife!"

The ginseng doll even forgot to take a picture of Xu Zhengrong's hand covering his head, and opened his mouth wide in a daze. It took him a long time to realize: "I'm going! Is it true or not? I just said that casually at the beginning!"

As soon as the words were finished, the ginseng doll immediately realized that something was wrong, and smiled embarrassingly: "Ha! Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha!"

Xu Zhengrong didn't bother to pursue his magic stick, so he just glanced sideways, took off his coat and lay on his back on the bed, and began to think about other things: "There is still a while before the slack season, so we can't just wait like this... Hunting in the mountains Although the herbs are harvested, the weather is unstable recently, and it is not safe to rain every now and then..."

Thinking of this, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and when he met Ah Shui again the next day, Xu Zhengrong told Ah Shui what he had originally thought.

"Brother Xu, did you mean that you want to take fried snails to the town to buy?"

Ah Shui was a little embarrassed. Brother Xu had good ideas, but would anyone really buy and eat snails that can be seen everywhere in the fields?

Xu Zhengrong could see Ah Shui's concerns, so he put on a relaxed look and said with a smile: "Let's make a small bucket and send it to the town for sale. If we really can't sell it, at worst, we can bring it back for our family to eat. Just think of it as an extra snack."

Field snails are very common in the fields of Xu country. Some naughty children can find a lot of them when they lie on the ridge of the field and touch them.

When Cai Douer heard that his little uncle said that he wanted to touch the snails and go to the town to buy them, his little mouth babbled twice, and he naturally recalled the taste of spicy fried snails. Rong gave each of these children a copper coin, and the children cheerfully went to the fields to find several buckets of snails.

In addition to spit sand and make soup, it takes a lot of effort, everything else is nothing, Xu Zhengrong Lin Lin finally figured it out, asking the children to help with tips and seasoning only cost about two strings of copper coins, such a low cost The result in exchange is not small.

Three full buckets of spicy fried snails are placed in the yard, which is particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the greedy eyes of a few children standing aside, Xu Zhengrong smiled very generously, and said boldly, "Take some and eat."

The children crowded up happily, each held a handful, thanked them obediently, and ran out to play.

Watching them sip their mouthfuls, Ah Shui secretly swallowed his saliva several times. He was embarrassed to compete with the children for snacks, and stood by the side in a daze, at a loss, until Xu Zhengrong deliberately picked out a big one. He took a large snail and touched the full snail meat to his mouth.

Ah Shui's ears turned red quietly, and under Xu Zhengrong's urging eyes, he opened his mouth and took the snail meat into his mouth.

Although there is only one river connected to the East China Sea in Qingxi Township, there are also many large and small ponds. The villagers have nothing to do, and occasionally throw a lotus seed or two in the pond. If things go on like this, many lotus will grow in the pond every year. leaf.

In the long summer, many peasant women who are idle at home will go to the pond to pick lotus leaves and bring them back to dry. If the lotus leaves are well preserved in one summer, they can be used for several years. It is the best to store clean food. .

Xu Zhengrong scavenged a lot of dried lotus leaves from his sister-in-law, and I don't know what method the people here used. Although the lotus leaves are dry, they are not brittle, and they are even quite resilient. There is no problem with the container for the snails.

Nearly hundreds of dried lotus leaves can be packed into a large handful of snails, which is somewhat similar to the disposable cups used in the present world, clean and convenient.

When I went to the town with Xu Zhengrong last time, the two of them were not very familiar with each other. This time, the two of them were about to get married, and Ah Shui sighed a little while sitting on the bumpy ox cart.

The bumping time of the bullock cart was not short, and by the time Ah Shui and Xu Zhengrong walked to the wharf of Laojie with their barrels in their hands, many vendors had already set up their stalls to sell their goods.

They carefully picked a good location and put the barrels away.

Xu Zhengrong's price for these snails is one copper coin per handful. He knows the principle of small profits but quick turnover. Although the money one copper coin can make is small, it will be a lot if you can really sell all three barrels of snails.

Ah Shui has always been shy in front of outsiders. At the beginning, his face was blushing and he couldn't yell out what he was selling. : "Spicy fried snails oh spicy fried snails! Spicy fried snails are on sale, so keep them delicious! For a copper plate, you will suffer a loss if you can't buy it, and you won't be fooled if you buy it!"

Such a low price really attracted the attention of many people. The sailor who just got off the ship sat on the steps and watched him for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Hey! What is spicy fried snails? Is it delicious? ?”

When Xu Zhengrong saw him, he knew the business was coming. He waved at the sailor and said generously: "It's my exclusive secret system that won't be passed on to outsiders. You are the first one to come here to ask. I am in vain. I’ll give you a bunch, if you think it’s delicious, how about helping me solicit business?”

Hearing that there is such a good thing, the sailor hurried over cheerfully, looked at the unattractive snails in the bucket, and curled his lips in disgust: "Such an ugly thing, isn't it? The snails in the field? How could it be delicious?!"

After picking out a piece of snail meat and stuffing it into his mouth, the sailor's expression changed immediately.

This sailor is also a good showman, not only exaggeratedly chewing the meat several times, but also slapped his thigh when he was happy: "Oh, I'm going! It's delicious! It looks weird, it smells delicious, and it tastes even better when you eat it! Get me two more to try!"

The faces of the people who were standing on the sidelines watching the show were full of doubts: "Will this thing really taste good?"

The sailor didn't care what the people around him talked about, just held the lotus leaf in his hand, and a small handful of snails was wiped out.

At the end, he still stretched out his oily hand and waved it twice in front of Xu Zhengrong: "Give me three more handfuls...ah no! Five handfuls, this thing is delicious, I will take it with you." Some of them go on board as snacks to pass the time."

Xu Zhengrong didn't say much, but Ah Shui responded with a pleasant surprise. He quickly packed five handfuls of spicy fried snails and put them in the dried lotus leaves. He took five greasy copper coins from the sailor, and was very happy.

"Really or not? Chickens and ducks don't even eat anything you touch in the field. How come it tastes so good when you come to him?"

While the onlookers were muttering in their hearts, their curiosity was also raised.

What Xu Zhengrong wanted was their curiosity, and he was secretly delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he still yelled politely.

"Spicy stir-fried snails! Delicious spicy fried snails! The sailor brother said it was delicious, and you can get it for a copper coin. If you don't buy it, you will lose money. The first ten buyers buy one and get one free!"
