Willow Ye was very excited when she thought of the fresh lotus pods and lotus roots in the lotus pond.
In the past, she liked to eat these things the most.
When I got here, I couldn't even eat a single lotus seed.
However, she will soon be able to eat delicious lotus roots and lotus pods.
…
Early the next morning, Tang Ting specially arranged for a small truck to pull linen from the Fifth Textile Factory.
Tang Ting drove a car and took Liu Ye and Zhao Jingmei with her to Lujia Village.
Zhao Jingmei has officially submitted her resignation to the factory.
There are procedures in the factory these days, so it won't be a problem if she doesn't go to work.
Because he wanted to discuss selling fish with Sister He, Secretary He also took a half-day off and went with her.
On the way, Liuye and Tang Ting talked about starting a fish selling business, and unexpectedly received Tang Ting's strong support.
It turned out that the fish Tang Ting brought back yesterday was deeply loved by the Tang family.
Especially Tang Qiran, the head of the Tang family, actually gnawed all the fish bones clean.
He also kept saying that he wanted Tang Ting to bring more fish home next time.
Going to Lujiacun today, Tang Ting's task was not only to arrange the clothes-making, but also to ask Sister He for some fresh lotus pond fish.
Like yesterday, Tang Ting parked the car under the big tree outside Lujia Village.
However, this time, the few people did not leave in a hurry, but walked a distance to the east under the leadership of Secretary He.
To the east of the big tree, there is a large lotus pond. This lotus pond belongs to Lu Dayong's family.
There are fields of lotus leaves, delicate lotus flowers and abundant lotus pods on the lotus pond, which is a pleasant scene.
Secretary He, who was standing next to the case, pulled out a few lotus pods and handed them to Liu Ye and others.
Willow Leaf immediately peeled off the lotus pods and couldn't wait to eat the lotus seeds.
The lotus seeds are refreshing, sweet and crisp, with a unique summer freshness.
Willow Ye narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
Zhao Jingmei also ate non-stop.
Only Tang Ting, frowning, holding a lotus plant, looked at Liu Ye and Zhao Jingmei stupidly.
She has never peeled off lotus pods directly!
Although the Tang family also eats lotus seeds, their servants peel them and serve them to them.
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Ting knew that lotus seeds grew in lotus pods.
"Come on, eat!"
When Liu Ye saw that Tang Ting was silent, he peeled off a lotus seed and gave it to her.
The snow-white and round lotus seeds look very cute.
Tang Ting put it in her mouth and took a bite. The sweet taste was extremely refreshing.
"Is it tasty?"
Liu Ye looked at Tang Ting expectantly.
"tasty!"
Tang Ting nodded heavily and praised loudly.
Then, she followed Liu Ye and Zhao Jingmei's example and began to peel the lotus seeds and put them into her mouth one by one.
"Can you give me some of these lotus pods and I'll take them home."
Tang Ting asked Secretary He in a low voice.
"of course!"
Secretary He agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go, the truck is here."
Not far away, under the tree, the small truck sent by Tang Ting to pull linen also stopped.
Secretary He walked towards the big tree.
"Wait a minute!"
Several people were about to leave, but were stopped by Liu Ye.
I saw her on the shore, gathering a few large lotus leaves.
Liu Ye took a lotus leaf and put it on her head, then handed the other leaves to Zhao Jingmei, Tang Ting and Secretary He.
"The sun is so strong, use lotus leaves to block it!"
Willow Leaf's little face is extremely cute against the backdrop of green leaves, showing a bit of wildness.
Zhao Jingmei and Tang Ting immediately imitated the willow leaves and covered their heads with lotus leaves, which immediately made them feel much cooler.
As for Secretary He, he just fanned the wind with lotus leaves and refused to wear this "cuckold".
…
Under the leadership of Secretary He, Sister He and others pulled the trolley to the foot of the big tree.
Pulled the linen on the truck back to Lu's house.
The linen has been shipped back, and Sister He will be busy.
She limped and walked to the east room.
"Sister, wait! I have something to tell you."
Secretary He quickly stopped her.
I was busy moving linens just now, and I didn't have time to talk to Sister He about selling fish.
"What's wrong? Baosheng?"
Sister He turned around and looked at Secretary He suspiciously.
"Sister, where is my brother-in-law? Call him over too! I have something to tell you."
After hearing this, Sister He became more and more confused.
What on earth is going on? We need to call Lu Dayong back specifically.
You know, Sister He has the final say in all matters big and small in the Lu family.
Lu Dayong also took care of the fields and the two lotus ponds at home.
However, Secretary He spoke, and Sister He quickly called Lu Dayong, who was chopping wood in the backyard, into the room.
After everyone sat down, Secretary He spoke.
"Sister, have you ever thought about taking the fish from the lotus pond to the city and selling them? Not only fish, but also lotus roots and lotus pods can be sold."
"What did you say? Selling fish?"
Sister He's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How can people like me and your brother-in-law... go into the city to do business?"
My legs and feet are inconvenient, and my husband Lu Dayong is also disabled.
If you go to the city, you won't be laughed at!
Let alone doing business.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Secretary He was silent for a moment, and then looked at Lu Dayong, who had been silent.
"We...are country people, how can we go into the city?"
Lu Dayong lowered his head and muttered.
"Oh, you are not a countryman, your fish is so good, everyone wants to buy it, just take the fish to the city, and I guarantee that they will be sold out."
Zhao Jingmei waved her hand and persuaded her loudly.
"No, no, no... we are not going to the city."
After hearing Zhao Jingmei's words, Lu Dayong's face turned green and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"I don't want to go to the city either..."
Sister He also refused.
She has a natural fear of city people.
"If you don't want to go, don't go. It doesn't matter. In the worst case, we can come to Lujia Village to take him back."
Seeing the two people resisting so much, Liu Ye hurriedly comforted them.
"Your fish, lotus roots and lotus pods can be sold in the city. If you are willing, we will come tomorrow to sell them."
Since Sister He and Lu Dayong are unwilling to enter the city, it is up to them to take the things away.
He Guihua and Lu Dayong looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.
You don’t have to show up yourself.
"Okay, as long as you are willing to come and buy goods, we are willing to do this business."
"Then it's agreed that we will come to buy goods tomorrow. You have to catch fish, dig lotus roots and pick lotus pods in advance."
The couple nodded in agreement, and Zhao Jingmei clapped her hands happily.
"No problem, I'll be ready."
Lu Dayong responded quietly.
Since he was a child, he liked to play and fish in the water, and the few fingers he lost were lost in the fish bombing.
He also takes care of the two lotus ponds at home by himself.
No one is more familiar with the lotus pond than him.
Catching fish and digging lotus roots is what he is best at.
"Wait a minute, the fish is caught, what should I put it in?"
Sister He asked eagerly.
A fish out of water will soon die.
No one wants dead fish.
"Sister, you don't have to worry about this, we have a solution!"
