……
It was a muscular adult man wearing coarse linen clothes who was working. With a bang, he dropped the box of salted fish he was carrying on his shoulder and came forward happily.
Wang Shouzhe calmed down and recognized that it was Wang Shouyi, the second eldest son of the Shouzi generation. He immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second brother, why do you dress like this and still do the work yourself?"
Wang Shouyi laughed helplessly: "I don't know why Uncle Liu got so crazy that he actually sent someone to deliver all the salted fish in stock in Dingpu warehouse and ordered me to sell them as soon as possible. Even the clerk was too busy for a while. , no, it’s being unloaded.”
As he said that, he pointed at the several carriages lining up behind him, almost blocking the road.
Uh...hehe.
Of course Wang Shouzhe knows the reason. It is because of his suggestions and ideas that the fishing team's catch this year is absolutely overwhelming. If the stocked salted fish is not disposed of quickly, when a large number of catches are later released, the salted fish previously stored will be lost.
"Wang Zhong, Wang Yong, help us unload the goods together." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand.
"Yes, head of the family." The two generals immediately took off their burdens and went to help. One of them is at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and the other is at the fifth level. Their strength and quality are many times that of ordinary people.
In addition, Wang Shouyi was also at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, so the three Xuanwu practitioners started unloading the goods together and climbed up quickly.
Of course Wang Shouzhe is already at the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm, so if he wants to reach it, he will go even faster. It's just that he, the head of a dignified clan, went to move salted fish. If word spread, it must not damage the family's prestige?
In less than two-quarters of an hour, the fish on several carriages were moved into the warehouse, and the roadside was cleared again.
Afterwards, Wang Shouyi, who had been cleaned up, was originally going to entertain Wang Shouzhe in the backyard. But he was rejected, so he found a place in the fish stall to drink tea and chat.
"Fourth brother, our fish stall mainly sells dried salted fish, smoked fish, fresh fish, and live fish." Wang Shouyi poured the tea himself and said, "Most of the salted fish and other dry goods are purchased in bulk by merchants and sold to Northwest."
"Firstly, the fresh fish is sold to the vendors in Changning Acropolis. They come to our fish stall every morning to pick up the goods. Secondly, they supply fresh and live fish to several restaurants in the city. This part is composed of We are responsible for delivery, but the price will be slightly higher."
"There are also some aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, etc., who also have a lot of demand for fresh and live fish every day. Therefore, from early morning to morning every day, our fish stall is the busiest time."
In a few words, Wang Shouzhe understood the operation mode of Wang's fish stall, which was mainly to maximize the selling price of the fishing team's catch output. The overall net income it could bring to the family was only about two hundred per year. It looks very dry and golden.
It is precisely because the net income is not high that Wang Shouyi, the seventh generation of the family, is in charge here.
Wang Shouyi's qualifications are not very good, just a low-ranking Ding. Therefore, the family resources that he has enjoyed since he was a child are far inferior to those of Wang Dingyue and Wang Shouzhe, so that at the age of thirty-three, he is at the beginning of the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm.

Fortunately, Wang Shouyi has a calm personality, endures hardships and stands hard work, and has no complaints about the allocation of family resources. Instead, he conscientiously starts up one of the family industries and contributes to the family.
"Second brother, I have worked hard for you all these years." Wang Shouzhe solemnly raised his hand.
"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Shouyi hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, "I, Wang Shouyi, am a direct blood member of the family, and it is my duty to manage the family property. Why bother talking about hard work? As long as you, fourth brother, can one day make it to the top. In the Lingtai realm, we Wang clan members will definitely live a good life."
Lingtai Realm! Lingtai realm!
Wang Shouzhe sighed in his heart. Now all the tribesmen placed their hopes on him, Wang Shouzhe. It is this hope that makes them work hard without complaint.
"Don't worry, second brother, our Wang family will definitely get better and better." Wang Shouzhe said with a confident smile, "By the way, I heard that nephew Zong Sheng has good qualifications, does he look like a low-grade third-class person?"
When Zong Sheng was mentioned, Wang Shouyi's honest face showed joy, he scratched his head and said: "That boy is okay, better than his father. It seems that my blood is still good."
"Haha, second brother, that's because the second sister-in-law has good blood." Wang Shouzhe joked with a smile, "I know that the second sister-in-law was famously beautiful when she was in Jinsha Xu's boudoir. Many families have gone to propose marriage. But I didn’t expect you to be able to break out of the siege and win the heart of the second sister-in-law."
"Fourth brother, you actually still remember this. You were still a child at that time, right? Hey, your second sister-in-law didn't like those flashy young men, so she took a fancy to your second brother's honest duty." Wang Shouyi recalled this incident. , with a face full of pride, "Being able to marry your second sister-in-law is the greatest victory in my life, Wang Shouyi. By the way, fourth brother, are you eighteen this year? When are you going to marry the daughter of the Liu family home?"
The daughter of the Liu family?
Wang Shouzhe paused. If Wang Shouyi hadn't mentioned this, he would have forgotten that he was already engaged to Liu's eldest daughter.
It stands to reason that it would be difficult for the declining Wang family to match the direct lineage of the Liu family, and the relationship between the two parties only maintains the stage of occasional intermarriage in the direct lineage. It was more than a hundred years ago since the last direct marriage between the Wang family and the Liu family.
At that time, the Liu family's legitimate daughter married Wang Yuyou, the second son of the Zhouxuan ancestor, while Zhuwei, the second queen of the Zhouxuan ancestor, married into the Liu family's direct lineage.
It is worth mentioning that Aunt Zhuwei gave birth to two sons and a daughter in the Liu family. Now there are two living ancestors of the Liu family in the Lingtai realm. One is the son of Aunt Zhuwei, and the other is her elder. grandson.
It is precisely for this reason that Mrs. Liu of Shanyin has always had a deep love for Mrs. Wang.
But the most powerful person in the Liu family is not the two Lingtai realm ancestors, but Liu Xuanfu, the daughter of Aunt Zhuwei.
I recall the time when Liu Xuanfu of the Liu family and Wang Longyan of the Wang family were cousins and rare beauties of heaven. They were both admitted to the Zifu Academy, which shocked the entire Changningwei region.
They are called Changning Shuangjiao, and their fame exceeds that of the Lingtai ancestors of ordinary families. Moreover, they are all developing well in Zifu Academy and have a bright future.
What a pity.
After the Wang family suffered a catastrophe, Longyan ancestor had to give up his status as an elite disciple of the Academy and return to the family. In the end, he was seriously injured and his life span was greatly shortened. He has never left Changning until now.
Liu Xuanfu has been developing in the Zifu Academy, and her current situation is unclear. But seeing that the Shanyin Liu family is getting stronger and stronger, it can be inferred that Liu Xuanfu should be developing smoothly in Zifu Academy.
Therefore, the marriage contract between Wang Shouzhe and the Liu family's legitimate daughter was a marriage proposal personally proposed by Longyan's ancestor, and it was also the last guarantee she prepared to leave to the family.
Perhaps the ancestor of Longyan paid some unknown price, or perhaps the Liu family still misses the old love, in short, this marriage contract was settled.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what are you thinking about?" Wang Shouyi said with a smile, "You are not thinking about your unmarried wife-Liu Ruolan, Miss Liu, right?"
"Haha~ Second brother, let's think more about how to grow the family." Wang Shouzhe changed the subject and said, "If Uncle Liu's fishing brigade doubles the annual output of previous years, can you, a fish stall, handle it?"
"What, double?" Wang Shouyi looked happy and whispered, "Fourth brother, is the family willing to expand the fishing boat? This is a good thing for the family. If this is true, I will ensure that it does not hinder you."
"What about double?" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile.
"Hiss~" Wang Shouyi took a breath of air, "Fourth brother, don't entertain your second brother."
When Wang Shouzhe was about to explain a few words, suddenly, a sinister laughter came from outside: "The second son of the Wang family, is Wang Shouyi here? I am Ding Youde, the second shopkeeper of Facai Gambling House, your nephew. When are you going to pay back the money you owe our gambling house?"
Get rich gambling house? Gambling debt? nephew?
Just as Wang Shouyi's expression changed drastically, the smile on Wang Shouzhe's face also solidified, and his eyes became sharp.
