Chapter 104 You are an idiot
Baitao didn't join in the fun.
Firstly, the villagers wouldn't let her, and secondly, she really wasn't that diligent.
Besides, she is only five years old now and can only be the aunt who eats, drinks and does shopping in Taohua Village.
Bai Xiaocao and other children also wanted to go, but it was late at night when they first arrived. Baitao didn't allow it, so he had no choice but to stay in the inn to play.
After dark, crayfish are more active.
The fact that there is no curfew in Qingzhou is convenient for the people of Taohua Village. The villagers gathered in groups of three or five and swept through the streets one by one.
Baitao knew that the villagers were going to pick up crayfish, so she ordered twenty large sacks from the mall in advance and sold them once.
That night, in his sleep, Mr. Baitao vaguely heard reminders coming from the mall from time to time: Beep, twenty bags were sold, totaling 5,313 kilograms...
Finally, in order not to be disturbed by the sound of Didi, Baitao seemed to have silenced the mall's notification tone.
As daybreak approached, people from Taohua Village returned to the inn to rest one after another.
At this time, everyone was extremely excited and shared the results one after another.
"I picked up twenty bags this night."
Someone nearby shouted: "I picked up twenty-three bags!"
"I picked up everything well, but I didn't know that I couldn't transport it because I was pushing it too little. I was caught by the village chief trying to push the cart, and I picked up nine large sacks in the middle of the night."
"It got light too early today. Qingzhou City is so big, we barely managed to cover two places in one night."
"Isn't it..."
Bai Duoxi and the kitchen team came in carrying things.
"Come on, come on, everyone, thank you for your hard work. Eat your breakfast while it's hot and go get some sleep."
Warm soy milk, fried diced pork belly, large meat buns stuffed with sweet potato fries, freshly fried fried dough sticks, and a large frame of hard-boiled eggs.
Bai Duoxi got up with others in the middle of the night to prepare this.
"Are there any noodles with crayfish juice?" Bai Shanquan asked.
"Yes, it's still where it was yesterday."
The leftover crayfish juice from yesterday was not wasted. It was simmered on the stove. There were noodles beside it. Everyone went out to pick up crayfish. If they were hungry, they would eat a bowl when they came back.
After eating, he put down the dishes and took the big sack and went out. Bai Duoxi and the others also packed up the dishes.
While people in Taohua Village were having breakfast, many businesses in the city were opening their doors one after another.
Many of the shops lining the streets in the west and north of the city were extremely surprised.
"Hey, why are there no bugs today?"
"Are these damn bugs going to leave?"
"It would be great if that were the case!"
Not only are there not many in front of my shop, but there are also not many on the street.
Usually every day when the door is opened, there will always be many insects huddled at the door of the shop.
In order to allow customers to come to the door without affecting the business of the shop, every household opens the door early and cleans the bugs in front of the shop and on the steps.
Now at first glance, the number of bugs appearing was much less than before. They were surprised and couldn't help but feel happy at the same time.
The insect-catching team, which came to clean up the bugs with resentment early in the morning, was also surprised when they saw the situation in the neighborhood they were responsible for.
However, when they heard that there were still so many bugs in the east and south of the city, the people in the west and north of the city were disappointed and felt even more strange.
Why are there so few bugs emerging in the west and north of the city from last night to today?
But soon, they knew what was going on after they saw someone from Taohua Village picking up crayfish in the middle of the night yesterday and explained it through word of mouth.
Although I was happy for nothing, the merchants in the west and north of the city were also very happy because they saved time in the morning.
Baitao was disturbed by the mall yesterday and had a hard time sleeping, so she didn't wake up until almost ten o'clock. At this time, some villagers had rested for four or five hours and couldn't wait to go out to pick up crayfish.
She tossed and turned and sat up angrily. She was about to scold the mall when she left the balance and was stunned for a moment.
If she remembered correctly, before going to bed, the first number in the balance was still the number six, but now it has become seven.
Not to mention, the second and third digits... to the last decimal point have all changed.
Baitao couldn't care less about what she was getting up from and was so angry that she quickly opened the bill and looked through the records, carefully reading each stroke.
Record of goods sold: once, twice, three times...
Sometimes, more than twenty sacks of crayfish are sold at a time, sometimes thirty or forty sacks.
In order to facilitate the passing caravans, the utility room for storing goods in the inn is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to hold so much.
'so much? ’
Didn't you just pick it up for an hour or two? Why are there so many?
Is it possible that the villagers picked it up in the middle of the night?
Baitao looked at it and muttered to himself.
I didn't hear any response from the mall for a while, but the records showed that thirty-six sacks of crayfish were being sold at this moment.
‘Strange, are you mute? ’
‘Hey hey hey? ’
‘Is it possible that you can become mute after being dripping for a long time? ’
‘You don’t need to repair it, right? ’
Baitao was wondering, and accidentally scrolled to the lower right corner: "Hey, that's strange, why did you mute yourself?" ! ’
Mall: ‘…’
Although she discovered it, Baitao didn't expect that she was the one who complained about the noise to Shizune in the middle of the night last night. She thought that the mall was self-aware, so she dressed neatly, brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Mall: ‘…’ You idiot, you should unmute me.
Baitao got up at this time, washed up slowly, and naturally ate breakfast and lunch together.
It was also at this time that she realized that the villagers actually collected crayfish all night last night, went to bed at five o'clock in the morning, and got up again before ten o'clock to collect crayfish.
"You..." Baitao didn't know what to say for a moment.
No wonder there are so many.
Seeing this, Bai Dashan quickly explained: "Auntie, don't worry, everyone is not tired. If you are tired, you will naturally rest by yourself."
Although I didn't sleep all night, I had food and drink, and I really wasn't tired at all.
Others also said: "Yes, aunt, we are not tired at all."
"Auntie, we have a rest too."
"Yes, yes, we all remember what my aunt said, balance work with rest."
The villagers are telling the truth. They are much more tired when they are busy farming and harvesting than they are now.
Now it's just picking up crayfish crawling on the ground, and after my aunt gave them the medicinal solution, everyone's health is many times better than before, and they are less likely to get tired.
What's more, when they took a break, they drank brown sugar and ginger tea, ate glutinous rice balls boiled with brown sugar and ginger, or had a bowl of noodles with crayfish juice. I don't know how happy they were.
Baitao looked around and saw that the villagers' faces were full of energy, with no yawns or signs of fatigue, so he stopped worrying.
After lunch, Baitao stopped the villagers who wanted to go out.
"Da Shan, don't go out now. In the afternoon, you take some people and follow me out of the city, and we go to the city gate to set up a stall to collect crayfish."
Well, I also suddenly want to eat two pounds of crayfish.
