Chapter 261 Fish
"Follow me." Hua Xiali turned around and walked upstream. The downstream was full of sand. I don't know if there are freshwater clams. Even if there are, they are hard to find. It's easier to find it in the mud upstream.
Lu Xiaozhi didn’t know where Hua Xiali was taking him, but he still followed him obediently.
Arrived on the river bed upstream, Hua Xiali used bamboo to pull a freshwater clam out of the mud, and said to Lu Xiaozhi, "I need this, it costs a penny a piece, and I will deliver it to you after dark at night." My family is Huo Beixi’s family Go, are you willing to do it?”
Although it’s a penny a piece, she doesn’t have a limit on the size. She wants both big and small, so Lu Xiaozhi doesn’t lose money, but she may need to pay a lot of money. , because there is really a lot of this stuff.
"Really?" A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Xiaozhi's eyes.
"Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you?" Hua Xiali took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Lu Xiaozhi, "I'll give you a hundred dollars first, okay?"< br>
There are a lot of freshwater clams here, and they will continue to work until the rainy season next year. This means that Lu Xiaozhi can earn a lot of money during this period. Even if freshwater clams are hard to find after the new year, there are still bamboo shoots!
"Thank you, sister Xia Li." Lu Xiaozhi excitedly took the one dollar. One dollar can buy a lot of big steamed buns, and he can have a full meal.
Hua Xiali handed the bamboo pole in his hand to Lu Xiaozhi, "I still have something to do, so I will go home. Remember to send this thing to Huo Beixi's house at night. If I am not at home, Huo Beixi will give you money.”
After being told what was at hand, Hua Xiali felt much more relaxed. She carried the empty basket and returned home.
Hua Xiali asked Zhang Yongfeng to find a place in the backyard to build a stove, while she went to deal with the braised food. Zhang Yongfeng first pushed the wooden cart to buy bricks, cement and sand. After everything was ready, he started the construction alone.
Hua Xiali wanted to go pick up fish at the reservoir near her fourth uncle's house in the evening, so when the four of them went to sell braised food in the evening, they used a wooden cart to push them there.
After selling the braised meat, Hua Xiali asked the three of them to go home first. She still had things to deal with and would go home later. She also promised that Zhang Yongfeng would have a wooden cart to use when he went to wholesale tomorrow morning.
There is no Lingquan space. It is so inconvenient. Otherwise, there is no need for her to push the wooden cart there. Wouldn't it be better to just go there?
When she was a child, there were no bicycles at home, so she had to walk everywhere. Even her grandparents’ house which was so far away had to be walked on legs, so going to the reservoir at her fourth uncle’s house didn’t feel too far for Hua Xiali.
She pushed the wooden cart alone, running faster where the road was flat, and pushing slowly where the road was uneven. By the time she reached the reservoir, it was already very late. Fortunately, she went out. I brought a flashlight with me, otherwise my trip would have been in vain.
There was not much water in the reservoir at this time, and she could even hear the sound of fish slapping the water, which was particularly active and sounded like a cry for help.
In this case, she is not polite. She has to go down quickly to 'save' these fish that are about to die from lack of water. Hua Xiali put on her shoes and went down to the reservoir. She walked towards the front. The areas without water had been dried and she could clearly see the freshwater mussels. But her target now was the big fish, so these freshwater mussels were released first. Come on, we'll talk about it later.
Hua Xiali wanted to catch a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms, but there was still a little water in it. The fish were scurrying around in it, so she couldn't catch it at all, so she just caught whatever she encountered, no matter how big or small. When the frames and baskets on the wooden cart were full, she pushed the wooden cart away.
When we returned to Huazhuang, it was already early in the morning. It was quiet and there was no sound at all, except for the occasional barking of dogs.
Arrived at the door of the house, Hua Xiali reached out and knocked on the door. Soon the courtyard door was opened. Huo Beixi walked out. Seeing Hua Xiali's embarrassed look, Huo Beixi felt heartbroken. Before he could speak, he heard Hua Xiali say, "Quickly, help me move these fish to the yard, and then enlarge them in a water tank to raise them."
Huo Beixi then noticed the wooden board In the frame of the car, actually Although they were all fish, he didn't ask what happened to the fish. He just urged, "Is it frozen? Go and wash up. Don't worry about the rest."
"Okay, Then I'll leave it to you. Remember to send the wooden cart to my door later. My eldest brother-in-law needs it when he goes to the farmer's market in the morning." Hua Xiali warned and hurried in, leaving the rest to me. Huo Beixi processing.
By the time Hua Xiali came out of the shower, Huo Beixi had already finished everything, and there were hot meals on the table. Hua Xiali was really hungry, so she sat down and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat. It was getting late, so the two of them didn't talk nonsense and went back to the room to rest after eating.
The next morning, Hua Xiali packed up and went to the yard. When she saw so many fish in the large water tank and wooden basin, she had a headache for a while. In such a big reservoir, there were so many fish in it. In addition to the big fish, there are also small fish and shrimps. If she really wanted to 'rescue' them all, they would have to weigh at least tens of thousands of catties. Now that she doesn't have the space for a spiritual spring, where can she put so many fish?
Now in winter, the weather is cold. As long as there is no constant lack of water, the fish will not die so easily. In addition, there is spiritual spring water in the well water, so these fish are alive and well.
He was still jumping up and down inside from time to time, splashing water, and even the ground was wet. Hua Xiali replenished some water one by one, then locked the door and went out.
Hua Xiali went directly to the carpenter's house and ordered ten large wooden barrels like those used when killing pigs. In fact, such wooden barrels are similar to the bathtubs of later generations. They can also be used for bathing, but they require a lot of burning. of hot water, otherwise it won’t be able to soak.
But Hua Xiali planned to use this to raise fish. After all, she had to go to the reservoir to 'save' the fish that were about to die of thirst. She really needed a lot of things to raise fish.
It’s all her fault that Hua Qingmei, who traveled through time, actually took away her spiritual spring space. Although she can still enter, the spiritual spring space is now with Hua Qingmei, so it’s inconvenient for her to use it. She can only Occasionally take some spiritual spring water, it is really cheap.
After booking the big wooden barrel, Hua Xiali went to his home in front of him. Hua Chunli and the others were already busy. They all grew up in rural areas, so they could do laundry and cooking. Naturally, I know how to clean pig waste, especially the seasonings for braised food. Hua Xia Li has already prepared them, so even if Hua Xia Li doesn't go, it's okay.
When he went to the town to sell braised meat in the evening, Hua Xiali took a few more frames and put them on the wooden cart. When they arrived at the town, after everyone lifted the braised meat, Hua Xiali pushed the wooden board The car set off.
If you go early, you can go home early in the evening, so you don’t have to wait until midnight.
