Shanqian Village, fish pond.

The crisp autumn air and clear skies make it the most refreshing time of the year.

Baskets of big crabs and crickets were waiting to be dumped into the pond. Each crab in the bamboo basket was trying hard to climb up. When it was about to succeed, it was pulled down by the brothers and sisters below.

The other crabs are eager to escape.

However, he is always pulled down by other companions.

"Axin, what did you learn from looking at these crabs?"

Zhao Wenmu's family of three and Zhao Xin returned to the village and planned to stay for a few days.

"The more fun you have, the faster you will die?"

“Crab or spicy food is more delicious?”

"Everything with eight legs is delicious?"

Zhao Xin gave several answers in succession.

While she stretched out her fingers to tease the crab, the crab tried to pinch her hand, and then it pinched other crabs' heads and pincers, and then it became a mess.

"Wrong! You need to choose good teammates, pig teammates will only hold you back!"

Zhao Wenmu tapped her head gently.

Zhao Xin didn't hide either, just shrinking his head back and forth.

"Pig teammates will only hold you back."

Several other people recited this sentence silently in their hearts, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Third brother, are we good teammates or pig teammates?"

Zhao Xin turned her head and asked Zhao Wenmu.

Zhao Wenjun, Zheng Guangming, Song Yun, and Zhao Wenguang also listened attentively.

Even Zhao Jing looked over.

"Are you stupid? Of course you are good teammates, my right-hand man, my right-hand man!"

Zhao Wenmu gave her a headache.

"Then Third Brother, aren't you a three-headed and six-armed person?"

"Well, third brother has three heads and six arms, and you have one head and two arms!"

Zhao Wenmu laughed and went to see the crabs.

"Brother, the crabs and crickets have been raised well. Now the mortality rate is less than two thousandths. Generally speaking, they are not losing weight, and they have even grown a little bit longer."

Zhao Wenmu looked through his notebook.

Zhao Wenjun was making introductions at the side.

Zhao Wenjun's character is just like her person, soft and frail on the outside but tough and tenacious on the inside.

The notes recorded in detail the acquisition and breeding process of crabs and crickets.

All kinds of numbers and experiences are summarized above.

These experiences will be important for future expansion of breeding.

In the past few months, Zhao Wenjun's whole appearance has also changed, just like Zhao Jing's previous changes.

The thin body has gained a little bit of flesh, and the calluses on the hands have softened and faded little by little.

Even though her skin has turned darker, there is nothing that can be done about it. She is guarding the pond every day.

The most important thing is that the energy and spirit are different.

Zhao Wenjun became more confident, proactive, and youthful.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, the purchase volume has begun to slowly decline. I'm afraid it won't be able to meet the demand for crayfish restaurants."

Zhao Wenjun was a little worried when he talked about this.

"How about I find a few more people to catch crabs?"

Zhao Wenmu pulled her to the pond.

In fact, we can’t blame Zhao Wenjun for this. Zhao Wenmu’s original planned purchase volume was 80,000 kilograms, which was enough to consume the crayfish house for about 120 days throughout the winter.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the actual consumption of the crayfish house finally stabilized at around 780-840 kilograms.

To be on the safe side, you should prepare at least 90,000 kilograms of goods, and 100,000 kilograms is optimal.

"It doesn't matter, that's all. When the time comes, we'll just develop a few new dishes and hedge them."

In winter, hot pot and barbecue are also very delicious!

Zhao Wenmu himself likes to cook meat in a pot in winter.

Last time, he even brought a copper pot back from the capital, planning to have the whole family eat hotpot meat in the winter!

However, since we are preparing to develop new dishes, the corresponding kitchen utensils and tableware must be prepared in advance.

Today we have a family dinner and have another task.

Family meeting.

After dinner, the family sat around the courtyard, and Zhao Xuehai drank tea and smoked on a stone bench nearby.

It seems like it has nothing to do with him.

He can't control it, the children have their future! Especially about making money, as long as it doesn't involve too much risk, he is not prepared to speak.

What Zhao Wenmu wants to say is mainly two things.

"The price of dried mushrooms is relatively stable now, with an average price of almost 8 cents per pound."

They have many varieties of mushrooms, so naturally the prices cannot all be the same, so we can only give an average.

The average cost of dried mushrooms is about 6.5 cents.

Zhao Wenlin and his family invested all their wealth at that time, especially Zhao Wenjun, who only had 722 yuan in hand, but actually invested 700 yuan.

Her idea is very simple. The money was originally given by her younger brother, and she needs to pay it back to her.

After calculation, more than 180,000 kilograms of dried mushrooms only earned about 3,000 yuan.

Concern immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

But fortunately, I didn't lose money.

"Brother, do you want to sell dried mushrooms now?"

Zhao Wenyan asked.

Harvesting mushrooms took a lot of effort from everyone, and it was really distressing to sell them like this, but there was nothing we could do.

"Sister, we don't sell them now. The price of dried mushrooms will increase in winter, which is the peak sales season for dried mushrooms. Don't worry."

"You can definitely make money from dried mushrooms, and you can make more money than you think!"

Zhao Wenmu doesn’t want everyone to live in fear for the next two or three months, so he must cheer everyone up from time to time.

To be honest, no one feels very guilty when it comes to mushrooms.

In any case, the money for harvesting mushrooms comes from the family, and no money is borrowed.

Nowadays, the game and crayfish restaurants are making money every day. Even if all the dried mushrooms are lost, life can go on as usual.

Even so, Zhao Wenmu's words still made everyone in the Zhao family feel at ease.

Everyone is convinced of him now.

"The second thing is the wages given to each family."

"I plan to increase each family's salary to 50 yuan a day, 30 yuan for the second sister, and 20 yuan for Axin."

Now Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenguang, and Zhao Wenyan all charge 20 yuan a day, Zhao Wenjun also charges 20 yuan, and Zhao Xin earns 10 yuan.

This means that except for Zhao Wenjun, everyone else has basically more than doubled.

Everyone present reacted differently to this decision.

Zhao Xuehai and Liu Sufang were very happy. The palms and backs of their hands were full of flesh. The third child had a good life. They did not forget their elder brothers and sisters and their younger sisters. This is a good thing!

Zhao Wenyan immediately expressed her disagreement.

"Brother, 20 yuan a day is enough! Sometimes we don't do any work, but we still get 20 yuan every day. I feel really embarrassed."

Zhang Zhenshan moved and wanted to say a few words to his wife, but he was dull and not from the Zhao family, so he didn't know if it was appropriate to speak.

Finally, he moved his buttocks and sat back.

Liu Xiumei has no such concerns.

She patted Zhao Wenmu and said with a smile:
