Chapter 46 Extra Harvest

At night, I changed the place to put the cage, and the harvest was really good.

None of the more than 20 cages failed, and several cages were even packed to the brim.

When I carried the first cage, I felt a different weight from yesterday.

This kind of harvest was really beyond her expectation, and she was both surprised and delighted.

It was still the grandparents and grandchildren who came to collect the cages by the river, but today they did not bring the iron cylinder, so the three of them struggled to get the cages back home.

A large wooden basin had been prepared in the yard long ago, and the lid was opened to pour the harvest into the basin one by one.

Of course, there are not only eels in the cages, but also loaches, swordfish, etc., and some even have snakes in the cages.

Seeing the snake mixed in the eel, Liu Xinyu, who was looking at the harvest with joy, almost screamed in fright.

I saw that her footsteps flashed and she took several steps back abruptly, all the hairs on her body stood on end.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are all non-poisonous water snakes and cauliflower snakes." Chen Zhaodi was also taken aback, and when she saw the snake clearly, she looked back at Liu Xinyu who was still terrified.

After all the harvest was poured into the wooden basin, Chen Zhaodi began to sort it.

Pick out all the rice field eels that meet Director Shan's requirements, and you don't need to weigh them to know that they are far more than fifteen catties.

Of course, you still have to weigh it to get the exact weight.

"Even the barrel is 28 catties and seven taels, tall!" After confirming the weight with a scale, the three of them immediately relaxed their eyebrows.

The tin bucket containing the eels is only a little more than four catties, which means that a half catty eel weighs at least 24 catties.

Although Director Shan only ordered fifteen catties, Chen Zhaodi decided to send all the eels in the tin bucket to the town.

"The wedding banquet at Director Shan's house is today. We have to send the rice field eels to Accountant Yan's house earlier." In order to prevent too many rice field eels from suffocating, Chen Zhaodi divided half of the rice field eels in the tin bucket into another wooden bucket. Some worriedly told Liu Houxing, "When Qingsong comes over, we will do as we discussed yesterday, and let him be smarter."

What Liu Qingsong will do today is to give gifts to the cadres of the brigade and the production team respectively.

This ceremony is of course rice field eel.

Two king eels weighing more than a catty were given to the brigade secretary, and the eels sent to other cadres were not small, they were all nearly one catty, two for each family.

Liu Xinyu finally knew what Chen Zhaodi's so-called knowing in his heart was.

Okay, maybe that's a way to avoid risk, too.

"Don't worry, he's not a child. He doesn't know what to say or not to say? By the way, tomorrow is the engagement banquet between the eldest son of the Zhang family and Xin Yu. Since we agreed to add more food, you When are you going to send it over?" Liu Houxing said without raising his head as he was cleaning out the used cage.

Chen Zhaodi straightened up and looked at the water tank, clicked his tongue and said, "What's the hurry, wait until I come back from town!"

According to Chen Zhaodi, she alone is enough to deliver goods to the town.

One is that Liu Xinyu only slept for less than five hours in the two nights, and the other is that Liu Xinyu is dragging her back and being afraid.

Liu Xinyu insisted on going together, and repeatedly promised that this time she would not be delayed.

Insisting on going to the town, Liu Xinyu has her purpose.

The rice field eels could be sent to the town in time according to the agreement with high quality and quantity. A few pairs of rain boots played a very good protective role and made a great contribution.

If it weren't for Liu Xinyu's insistence on letting everyone wear rain boots to catch eels, the loss might not be worth the loss.

Because almost every night I will encounter snakes and even step on them.

If you wear straw sandals or sandals on your feet, you will definitely be bitten by a snake.

Today Liu Xinyu wanted to try his luck at the supply and marketing cooperative.

With or without other scraps, she plans to pick up a few more pairs of rain boots.

Now her level of mending shoes has almost caught up with that of making clothes, and someone will definitely buy the mended rain boots.

Yesterday evening, Chen Zhaodi and Wang Sanmei specially wore rain boots and went to the river to show off.

I heard that such good rain boots cost only three and a half yuan a pair. The women who did laundry by the river rushed to ask, and everyone wanted to buy them.

This made Liu Xinyu see a business opportunity for small money.

That day, the seven pairs of rain boots cost only six yuan and thirty cents. According to the price Chen Zhaodi asked, if two pairs were sold, the money would be paid back.

Of course, the peasants are not well off, and most of them only want the rain boots of adults.

But as long as someone buys it, you can make money.

The price difference between the two is obvious, and Liu Xinyu plans to earn a little money to bulge her pockets and realize financial freedom first.

Only with the freedom of accounting, can we strive for the freedom of food and clothing...

It's sad to think about it. Xin Yu used to draw pictures with at least five figures. When did he worry about this one or two dollars?

When the grandfather and grandson arrived at Accountant Yan's house, Accountant Yan was about to go out to buy deep-fried dough sticks. When he saw the two, he couldn't help laughing: "This person really can't stand the nagging. Here we go!"

As he said that, he let the grandparent and grandson into his small yard.

Accountant Yan's housing conditions are really good. Although the yard is a bit small, it is a small yard with a single family.

Accountant Yan first ordered his son, who came over to watch the excitement, to go to Shan's house and call Director Shan, and then he called to the kitchen to serve tea.

A 25-year-old daughter-in-law poked her head out of the kitchen and responded.

Chen Zhaodi shook her head quickly, and only asked the daughter-in-law to bring a basin, and had to share Yan Accountant's eel before Director Shan arrived.

Director Shan's home is not far from Accountant Yan, but Director Shan rushed over in a quarter of an hour.

Looking at the well-proportioned, fresh and plump eels in the two buckets, Director Shan was very satisfied, and gave Chen Zhaodi a thumbs up: "There should be more than fifteen catties here, I want all the total!"

Chen Zhaodi was very happy. The accountant Yan gave almost three catties just now, let alone 21 catties here.

"We weighed it when we came here, and it was about 21 catties. If Director Shan wanted them all, let's count them as an integer of [-] catties, and the fraction will be treated as a surprise for Director Shan." Liu Xinyu said eagerly.

Liu Xinyu is already sweet, but now she is full of smiles and looks especially happy.

When she started talking, Chen Zhaodi was really worried, for fear that Liu Xinyu would say something wrong and make people unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xinyu could speak so well. As soon as the words fell, Director Shan laughed and praised Liu Xinyu for being able to speak at a young age.

Although 24 catties of rice field eels were only sold for 40 yuan, it was already a huge sum of money for Chen Zhaodi, besides the money, there were additional gains.

"The supply and marketing cooperative just arrived yesterday to process a batch of wool, and the price is only one-third of the genuine wool. If you want it, wait for the supply and marketing cooperative to open, and go directly to accountant Yan, and I will give you a few catties." In the accountant's son With the help of Mr. Shan, Director Shan put the bucket containing the eel on the back seat of the bicycle and tied it with a rope.Pushing the barrel with his hand, he made sure the tie was firm, then raised his head and said:

"Old Yan, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll have a wedding wine when I'm done!"
