Chapter 42 Rent the yard
An idea suddenly flashed through Yang Yun's mind.
"Second brother, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's up?"
"My house leaks so badly that we can't live in it for the time being. Even if we can live in it, what if it rains again."
"What do you mean?"
"How about we rent a yard in the town? Doctor Jin said that Dad's health has obviously improved, and we must continue to treat it. Since it needs to be cured, it will definitely not take a few days, but may take a few months. If
Let Dr. Jin go back and forth to administer acupuncture every day, let alone whether Dr. Jin is tired or not, what if Dr. Jin has an emergency one day and he can't take care of me."
Yang Yun actually prefers to buy a yard.
"Indeed, it's just money..."
"Second brother, you have forgotten what I just said. Let's first embezzle the money reserved for father's medical treatment."
"However, when dad comes to town, mom will definitely come to town as well. We are not worried about mom coming to town from a woman's family. I have to come to accompany her no matter what. But the autumn harvest is about to come at home, and the two working mothers will definitely not let go at once.
people."
What Yang Qinglin said is true, but the problems he mentioned can all be solved by money.
Nothing can be solved with money.
"Then we will buy a cow to work instead of you and your mother."
"Buying a cow?"
Yang Yun nodded heavily and stopped talking, leaving Yang Qinglin space to think.
Cows are a good helper for farmers, but buying a cow is not something that ordinary farmers can afford.
There are only a few houses in Qingshan Village that have cattle.
During the busy farming season, those families are always ahead of others.
Everyone in the village was envious of him.
When Yang Yun talked about buying cattle, Yang Qinglin was already very excited, but he still said, "There is no rush now. We will discuss it with my father and mother when we get back."
"Okay, it's getting late now, let's go sell fish first."
Without a powerful financial backer like Liu Ziheng, Yang Yun's road to selling fish would not be very smooth.
There are many mountains and little water around Qingshan Town, and there are very few fish, so people rarely include fish in their eating habits.
Naturally, most people can't stand the smell of fish.
Moreover, fish has little fat, so poor people will not pay to buy it.
"Second brother, how about we go to the restaurant and try it."
"All right."
The only restaurant in town where wealthy people consume is called Yunke Lai.
Yunke came to the restaurant to eat and stay together, and there were many passers-by, so the business was naturally booming.
At this time, just as the meal was about to begin, guests from all over the country arrived and the whole place was filled with guests.
The shopkeeper was a very kind man. After seeing the fish, he bought them all for 10 cents per catty.
Several diners sitting at a table at the door were spitting about the vegetable fighting competition at Tianxianglou in the county town.
"Second brother, you go to the back hall to deliver the fish. I'll wait for you at the door."
"Okay, don't run around, I'll be here soon."
Yang Yun nodded, and after urging Yang Qinglin to leave, she listened carefully to the conversations of the diners.
"Shopkeeper Xu, you just came back from the county seat. Is the Tianxiang Tower's vegetable fighting competition really going to be held on the 16th of this month?"
"really"
"Then tell us in detail."
"Then let me tell you, this Doucai Conference is the same as last year..."
The shopkeeper surnamed Xu said the same thing as Yang Daming. Yang Yun didn't want to listen anymore, but it turned out that shopkeeper Xu said something that Yang Daming didn't say.
"...The news came out yesterday that Tianxianglou's boss in the capital came and he changed the rules of this vegetable fighting competition. Originally, one round decided the outcome, but now it's three rounds. One round for hot, one for cold, and one for dessert.
, the top three will be judged in each game, and the reward for a single game remains unchanged. It is still 50 taels for the first place, 30 taels for the second place, and 10 taels for the third place. If you win two games in a row and win the championship, you will get additional rewards.
50 taels of silver."
"Ah...this is a good thing."
"Yes, there are many more opportunities now. Go, go, go, go home and let my mother-in-law think about it. No matter what, I will get third place in one of the rounds."
"Yes, yes, yes, go, go, go..."
A few people were about to get up when the boss named Xu spoke again, "That's not all the good news. If there are dishes suitable for the hot summer, as long as they taste good, they can be selected. Anyone who is selected will get 5 taels of silver..."
At this time, not only the people at the table at the door were excited, but several tables nearby were also attracted and asked about the details of the competition.
…
Yang Yun listened carefully and secretly memorized matters related to Doucai until Yang Qinglin burst out with a smile on his face.
"Second brother, what are you happy about? Did you get a lot of copper coins?"
"It's a lot, 850 yuan, but what I'm happy about is that when I came out just now, I asked the shopkeeper if he wanted any more fish tomorrow? He said he would send it as long as there was any."
"Today the fish caught by my grandpas can be sold, which makes me really happy. However, I also have a happy thing to tell you."
"What good thing?" Yang Qinglin pushed the cart and asked curiously.
"Tell me first, how is the yogurt?"
The two brothers and sisters talked as they walked.
Yang Qinglin thought of the yogurt he drank in the morning and blurted out, "It tastes good and relieves the heat."
"Then how about we use yogurt to participate in Tianxianglou's vegetable fighting competition?"
"this……"
Yogurt is delicious, but can it participate in the Doucai Competition?
Ignoring Yang Qinglin's tangled look, Yang Yun, like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, told the news that Yun Ke had just come to the diner.
After listening to Yang Yun's words, Yang Qinglin said conservatively, "Our yogurt does meet the requirements of the owner of Tianxianglou. Just give it a try. If you can't make it into the top three, it should be no problem if you are selected."
"Okay, let's go buy some soybeans."
"Why are you buying soybeans?"
"Isn't last year's leader just tofu? Since someone can make a different kind of tofu, I'll give it a try. Anyway, it's only the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still a few days left, so I'm busy. Maybe I can also get the leader.
Woolen cloth?"
Not everyone can get the title of leader.
Yang Qinglin took it as a joke and didn't hold out hope.
But if your girl is happy, you have to coax her, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go buy soybeans."
After buying the soybeans, Yang Qinglin said again, "We need three dishes of fighting vegetables, so what are you going to do for the other one? Do you want to buy some ingredients and you can cook them?"
"I haven't thought about the other dish yet. I'll buy the ingredients after I think about it. However, we have to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, which I don't dare to fool. In order to make it easier for me to cook at any time, I have to buy a pot and a kitchen knife.
Waiting for something useful."
"Okay, buy, buy, buy."
Anyway, she received 1 tael of silver and 850 wen today, which was enough for her.
…
When he got home, Yang Qinglin talked about the leasing with Yang Erming and Qin.
"Dad, Mom, I want to rent a yard in the town."
"Ah... rent a yard?" Yang Erming and Mrs. Qin exclaimed at the same time.
"Well, that's what my son thinks. Dad, your health has obviously improved. You will definitely need Dr. Jin's acupuncture treatment for a long time in the future. If dad lives in the town, it will be much more convenient for Dr. Jin to give acupuncture every day.
If Dr. Jin has an emergency, he can administer acupuncture sooner or later. The treatment will not be interrupted, and dad's body will recover as soon as possible. Also, the house in the backyard is temporarily uninhabitable, and even repairs will take some time. We are all crowded
A lot of inconveniences in one room.”
