After the matter of digging the fish pond was finalized in this way, Cui Shuner arranged the itinerary of the family, with a clear division of labor and mutual cooperation.

First of all, Pei Zheng went to the market to find reliable workers. If he wanted to dig the fish pond quickly and well, the workers had to be strong and strong.

Pei Zheng thought of the wharf where he worked before. There were many suitable candidates there, and they happened to have friendship. After Pei Zheng offered a good price, the workers immediately agreed.

After the start time was determined, the fish pond was officially excavated.

The workers are working in full swing, and they also want to finish the project as soon as possible, so that they can get the money earlier and look for other jobs.

The workers who fought against the cargo at the wharf were all from poor backgrounds, doing the most tiring work and getting the least money. Pei Zheng knew this, so he even provided the workers with two meals.

Cui Shun'er has to take care of the complicated and miscellaneous things every day. She called Zhao Hua and asked him: "I don't have time to supervise the excavation of the fish pond. Please help me and take a look. If there is any problem , you come to inform me again."

Zhao Hua was especially grateful for Cui Shun'er's help, and immediately nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I have already promised to help you manage the fish pond. I will leave the affairs here to me, and you can do other things."

Cui Shun'er smiled, and handed him a stewed chicken in her hand, "Take it, take it to make up for the child, his illness is not completely cured yet, it is the stage of growing up, food is not enough Difference."

Zhao Hua was shocked. He and his son lived in poverty. They couldn't eat meat once in half a year. They only went to buy some cheapest chicken racks and chicken skins during the holidays. Now they saw a whole roasted chicken in front of them. While swallowing, he quickly refused.

"The last time Zhao Sheng was ill, you gave me life-saving money. I can hardly repay this kindness, so how can I accept your kindness again and again!"

Cui Shun'er forcefully stuffed the braised chicken into Zhao Hua's hands, and said, "Taking care of the fish pond is hard work, and this chicken should be regarded as an advance payment for you, please accept it."

"Then thank you, auntie." Zhao Hua couldn't refuse anymore, and handed the stewed chicken to his drooling son with a smile, and the enthusiasm in his heart to repay the Pei family became more intense.

Zhao Hua's and Cui Shun'er's second sons are about the same age, so calling him Auntie is the most appropriate name.

Cui Shun'er was very kind when she heard the "auntie", and suddenly thought of her second son, Pei An. She was concerned about the child, and silently prayed that Pei An would return home safely.

With the reliable Zhao Hua watching over the progress of the fish pond, Cui Shun'er can carry out the next step in an orderly manner.

The construction period for the fish pond was not long, so the purchase of fish fry was a nearby project. Cui Shun'er hurriedly dragged the boss to look for the fish fry, but the journey to Hualing City was long and bumpy. If it was just walking, it would take a day and a night.

Cui Shun'er thought about it, and said to Lao Dao: "Just walking over with two legs, we will be exhausted before we find the fry. Anyway, we have money now, and as long as the fish are raised, the income will definitely be great. , just rent a carriage and go there."

Today's Cui Shun'er is flexible in mind, has a long-term vision, and is considerate and considerate.

Pei Zheng also thought it was a good idea to take a carriage to Hualing City, so he immediately hired a groom to rent a carriage.

It would take a day's journey just to go there. Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng had never been to other places, let alone the affluent Hualing City a hundred miles away, so they carefully looked at the map along the way, for fear of going the wrong way.

The two hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the destination before dark.

Fortunately, they had prepared dry food and water in advance, and they were not hungry at the moment, but there were no people in the market, and those hawkers selling fish fry would only show up early in the morning, so what Cui Shun'er needed to consider now was the issue of accommodation.

They didn't know the place well, so they found an inn, and the waiter warmly greeted them: "You two guests, do you want to stay at the top or stay at the inn?"

Cui Shun'er replied kindly: "Xiaoer, we are here on business from out of town, please arrange two ordinary guest rooms for us."

After negotiating the price, she immediately gave the money for the accommodation.

"Okay, both of you, please follow me." The waiter immediately led them to the guest room on the second floor, handed over the key to Cui Shun'er, and told the location of the bathroom and the hut.

After washing up, when Cui Shun'er walked out for a walk, she met the proprietress of the inn.

Worried about where to buy fish fry, she suddenly thought that she could ask the proprietress for advice.

Cui Shun'er maintained a modest attitude and greeted the proprietress with a smile. The proprietress was also sharp-eyed and recognized that she did not look like a local. She asked curiously, "Where did you come from?"

Cui Shun'er said the words "Xiahe Village".

The proprietress was very surprised, and sighed: "That village is hundreds of miles away from us. If my natal sister hadn't married there, I wouldn't have known about that place. Why did you come here to do business from thousands of miles away?"

Cui Shun'er explained truthfully: "Actually, our village doesn't know why. There haven't been any fish in the river for several years, so I wanted to start a small business, so I dug a pond at the foot of the mountain in my hometown. This time I came to Hualing City. I heard there are fish fry for sale here.”

The proprietress is also a straightforward person. Seeing her sincere tone, she smiled back: "Our Hualing City is considered to have a large land and abundant resources. There are businesses in nearby towns and villages, and they will often come to us to buy goods."

Cui Shun'er took advantage of the situation and asked: "Does the proprietress know the location of the fish fry selling place in this city? We can save ourselves from searching aimlessly."

The proprietress said generously: "I know a family that specializes in fish fry business, but the other party is not from the city, so I'm not sure when he will come. Would you like to go to Boss Li's house in person?"

Hearing this, Cui Shun'er showed joy, and quickly thanked: "Thank you lady boss, you have done a great favor to our family!"

The proprietress waved her hand, and replied embarrassedly: "I'm not sure if I can really help you, so don't thank me very much. I will still patronize our store in Hualing City in the future, which is my greatest thanks."

As she spoke, she told about the address of Boss Li. Cui Shun'er secretly sighed that she was lucky to meet noble people everywhere.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Cui Shun'er fed the horses with food and grass, and immediately took the eldest to Boss Li's house on the west side of the city.

Fortunately, Boss Li's house is not far away. Not long after, they saw a wide fishing ground. The owner of the pond, Boss Li, was holding a feed tube and sprinkled small fish food around the fish pond.

However, when Cui Shun'er breathed a sigh of relief, Boss Li took the lead to ask, "Who are you two?"
