Fight the Giants

  Chapter 48 is actually drunk

   Along the way, Yang Fu and Huo Xi yelled at every fishing boat, and their family's grocery store on the water needs to be advertised widely. This road was so shouted by the uncle and nephew, and a lot of cloth and various sundries were also sold.

   I was also very lucky to meet Zhou Yi who sold shrimp to their family for the first time.

  That day Zhou Yi saw that they were going to Wenquan Town to buy wine and stop fishing, so he enthusiastically said that he would take them there.

   "My daughter's in-law's family makes wine, and the wine they make is good. If you don't like it, there are several wine shops and vinegar shops in their village and neighboring villages. I'll take you there."

   "Thank you so much! We are afraid of being bullied by the villagers. With your elder brother leading us, we will avoid detours." Huo Erhuai thanked the other party very happily.

   "Hey, thank you. It's not easy to make a living on the water, I understand. In the early years, my family also made a living on the water. Later, I went ashore, bought fields and built a house, and life slowly passed."

"Last time, I thought your family was able to make a living. Not only did you collect shrimps and crabs, but now you have a grocery store on the water. After so many years, no one thought of providing such convenience to fishermen. For this convenience, your family doesn't care. There will be no business."

   Besides, it’s been a while since we saw each other, and his small boat has been replaced by a bigger boat. Maybe it will develop in the future. If you make friends with the Huo family, maybe there will be more ways in the future.

  Huo Xi took two cans of grilled shrimp out of the cabin: "Uncle Zhou, this is made by my family, I'll give you a taste."

  Hearing that his family made it for sale, Zhou Yi didn't want it yet, so he repeatedly declined. But Huo Xi insisted on giving it, so he took it.

   "Uncle Zhou, help us taste it and see how it tastes, so we can improve it."

  That Zhou Yi listened, opened a can, and then opened it, the fragrance went straight into his nose.

   Sucked hard: "It smells so good!"

   Pick up one and give it to your mouth, then chew it again, it is sweet and salty, the more you chew, the more delicious it is!

   "Are you still mixing ingredients?"

   Fishermen dry fish and shrimp by themselves, who wouldn’t? It's just steamed and dried, so who pays for the ingredients.

   "Yes, it tastes good this way."

  That Zhou Yi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is best served with wine."

  Looking at the jar in his hand, he put it back on. I am reluctant to eat it, and I am going to take it home for my mother-in-law and grandson to eat.

When Huo Xi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then you will take my father to the wine shop later. If the price is right, we will buy more. Next time I meet you on the water, let my father accompany you to drink, eat shrimp and chat to relieve boredom." .”

   "Then dare to love!"

   Now that Zhou Yi has a house and a field, he has no worries about life, and his children have married and started a business. Fishing by himself is just a way to pass the time. If someone accompany him to drink and chat on the water, then he really shouldn't be too happy.

   He would be happy on the water. Drinking on the water is more peaceful than people coming and going in the village.

  Huo Erhuai also nodded again and again, expressing that when we see each other next time, he must have a drink and chat with him.

Huo Xi saw that it was really inconvenient for them to talk across a distance of a boat, so she asked Mrs. Yang to take over the scull, and said to Huo Erhuai: "Father, you are on Uncle Zhou's boat, and you can talk with him, so we can give it to you." lead the way."

   After finishing speaking, she winked at him, and asked him to add some words and learn more about the situation.

  Huo Erhuai understood, turned around and boarded Zhou Yi's boat, took over his scull, and helped him row. Zhou Yi saw that this family was very good, so he happily sat in the stern of the boat and chatted with Huo Erhuai.

   After rowing for less than an hour, we arrived at Shangshan Village, Tangquan Town.

  Although the Huo family's boat could enter the river channel of Shangshan Village, they were afraid that there would be boats coming out of the village and it would be difficult to avoid them, so they only stopped at the entrance of the village. Yang Fu stayed on the boat with Yang Shi and Nian'er. Huo Xi followed Huo Erhuai and Zhou Yi into the village.

  Shangshan Village is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and Tangquan Town is named after the hot spring. Many rich and noble families in the capital have Zhuangzi in Tangquan Town. From time to time, they drive to Tangquan Town to soak in the hot springs and stay for a few days, so Tangquan Town is richer than other places.

   Entering the village, I saw the water mosaic, and the golden rice in the field swayed gently with the wind, and there was a burst of rice fragrance.

  Huo Xi watched greedily, and almost stepped into the ditch without paying attention. Can't help but embarrass.

  Zhou Yi laughed, and Huo Erhuai laughed too. Holding her hand, he said to Zhou Yi with a smile: "This child only wants to make money so that he can buy land for his family so that he can have food to eat."

  Zhou Yi was very emotional: "Don't worry, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your family will change to a big boat. After a while, your family will definitely be able to buy fields and build houses."

   "I think so. But we have been floating on the water for ten years, and we still can't get to the shore."

   "It's coming soon."

   With this family's diligence and ingenuity, one day they will be able to go ashore and buy land and property.

  Zhou Yi led his father and daughter into the village, and first went to his own house to recognize the family.

  His mother-in-law still wonders why he went home in broad daylight?

   He was very enthusiastic when he learned that he had brought someone to buy wine at his daughter's house. He took two cans of grilled shrimp and put them away, and brought out some homemade food for the father and daughter to eat.

  Huo Xi saw that his four-year-old grandson liked to eat grilled shrimp very much.

"what's your name?"

   "Brother, my name is Zhou Zhou."

   "Is grilled shrimp delicious?"

  Zhouzhou nodded again and again: "It's delicious." Sucking his finger, he looked at his milk again.

  Zhou Zhao poked his forehead with a smile, and gave him another grilled shrimp. This time he knew that his milk would not be given to him again, so he took it bit by bit and ate it very reluctantly.

   "Let's go, I'll take you to my daughter's house to buy wine." Being able to bring business to her daughter's house, Mrs. Zhou picked up Zhou Zhou, and her legs and feet were like wind.

  Zhou Yi led Huo Erhuai and his daughter and followed behind.

  Zhou Yi has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son has only given birth to Zhou Zhou. The second daughter married to Shuangquan Village next door. The youngest son has not yet married.

  The two sides inquired about each other's situation along the way.

  Zhou Zhao was very happy knowing that they opened a grocery store on the water and would continue to ask for goods in the future.

   "Don't worry, my in-laws, the ancestral brewery, has been handed down for decades, and the rice wine and rice wine they brew are not unreasonable in the neighborhood. Even the capital has wine merchants to transport the wine."

   "There are wine merchants in the capital to buy it? It seems that they are quite famous. I don't know if the price is very expensive? We are living on the water, and we only plan to buy some middle and low-grade wines, and everyone can't afford the ones that are too expensive."

  Huo Erhuai was a little apprehensive. I'm afraid that it will be expensive, so I will take a trip for nothing.

  Zhou Yi and Zhou Zhao also made a living on the water in their early years, so they don't know how difficult it is for fishermen.

   Then he comforted: "Don't worry, they are really doing business. The rice wine is divided into 26 grades. You can only buy the ones that are suitable. Seeing that we took you there, my in-laws will definitely give you a suitable price."

   "Thank you so much. If I hadn't met Brother Zhou, I would be like a blind man touching an elephant."

  Huo Erhuai talked good things all the way, and soon followed his husband and wife to Shuangquan Village.

   Before he got close to the village, a strong aroma of wine wafted into his nose and throat. Huo Xi sucked it hard, but he was a little dizzy.

   It caused Zhou Yi and his parents-in-law to laugh endlessly.

   "This kid is about to get drunk before entering the village. It's all right, the wine we brew here is not high in alcohol content, and can be drunk by the elderly, children and women. This is your first time entering the village and you are not used to it."

  Seeing Huo Xi's face flushed, Huo Erhuai was a little worried: "Xi'er, are you okay? Why don't you wait for dad at the entrance of the village?"

  Huo Xi shook his drowsy head: "It's okay, dad, it's just that I don't get used to it all at once, it will be fine slowly."

  Zhou Zhao came up and took her hand: "Don't be afraid, you will come into my daughter's house with your aunt in a while, and I will pat your face with cold spring water, and you will be fine."

  Huo Xi nodded and followed her into the village.

   Thank you for your rewards these days, for your monthly recommendation votes, and for your comments, thank you. Love you guys
