A few people stayed by the river for half their pay, and Ding Yi finally finished his addiction.
"Auntie, Zhang An, Fatty and I will go back first. We will come back tomorrow."
After returning home, Ding Yi and the other two greeted Wang Fang and Zhang An and returned to the county.
Zhang An didn't keep them either. Anyway, it was very convenient to go back and forth from the county town, and they would come over tomorrow.
When he brought the red carp home, there was no glass fish tank at home, so Zhang An built a large sand tank to raise it.
"What are you doing bringing a big sand jar into the house?"
Wang Fang looked at her son and brought in a large sand vat from the yard.
"I brought it in as a fish farmer. I just caught a red fish. I was afraid it would be stolen outside."
When this tank was outside, it had already been cleaned by Zhang An.
After carrying it in, Zhang An carried several buckets of space spring water and filled the jar half full.
Then put the red carp in the bucket just now.
This red carp seems to be quite knowledgeable. As soon as it entered the water tank, it started swimming without jumping around.
Because carp would jump out of the water, Zhang An did not dare to fill the tank.
"This is the dragon fish."
Wang Fang looked at the big red carp in the tank. Rural people call red carp dragon fish.
"Xiao An, why don't you let it go? Dragons and carps can't be raised."
Wang Fang felt a little panicked when she saw such a big red carp.
Now she even wants to put some incense on the red carp and make some offerings.
They had heard the old man say before that such a big bright red fish was a dragon carp, and it would leap over the dragon gate and turn into a golden dragon in the future.
It would be a taboo to raise them at home like this.
"Mom, there is no difference between a dragon and a carp. Its color is caused by a genetic mutation."
Zhang An kept explaining to his mother how the fish could become like this.
"Just like some people are born with six fingers on their hands, it's a mutation."
Wang Fang is a traditional thinker of the older generation and does not quite understand such a statement.
Zhang An explained to her for a long time before she understood what was going on.
But Zhang An thought, why not keep this thing in space and see if it will grow dragon scales.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang An went out and sat at his uncle's house for a while.
After Ding left during the day, he came to see his old uncle.
But during the day, my uncle had something to do and he went out and was not at home.
"Anzi is here, come over and have something to eat together."
It's better to wash your feet during the Chinese New Year. When you go out, you will meet someone else having dinner, which is good luck.
In times of hunger, you would not be hungry.
"Aunt, don't take it. Our family just finished eating. I came over to talk to my uncle about something."
Seeing the old aunt getting up to get the dishes and chopsticks for him, Zhang An quickly stepped forward and said.
"It's okay. I'll have some food after I've eaten."
Zhang Ping next to him placed a chair for Zhang An, and the aunt still placed a bowl in front of Zhang An, but she didn't scoop out the rice.
"What do you want to see me for this time?" the old uncle said to Zhang An while eating.
When Zhang Jianwen came back in the evening, he heard from his family that Zhang An was looking for him.
He also thought about asking Zhang An what happened after dinner.
Before the meal was finished, Zhang An came to the door.
"It's like this. I have a friend who owns a specialty shop in the city and wants to come to our village to collect some mountain products."
"I was thinking that the people in our village sell everything to the dealers in the mountains. The price offered by my friend must be no less than them, so I wanted my uncle to shout with a loudspeaker."
After Zhang An sat down, he told his uncle about Ding Yi's entrustment.
"Is this Ding Yi the same Ding Yi who came to your house last year?"
The old man has not forgotten the group of people who came to the village last year.
When Zhang An said Ding Yi's name, he remembered it.
"Yes, that's him."
"This is a good thing, and everyone can make more money selling it."
After finishing the meal, the old man started to use the loudspeaker to make announcements.
The general meaning is that the boss will come to collect things tomorrow and ask everyone to prepare the things they want to sell. Then they can pick them up and take a look.
When the winter months first entered, those dealers came once.
It has been a few months now, and everyone has accumulated a lot of things.
In previous years, the travel traders from the city would only come after the beginning of spring in March.
The old man didn't say anything about the price on the loudspeaker, but just informed everyone that something like this would happen tomorrow.
If you have something for sale, you can check it out for yourself.
If you are satisfied with the price, then sell it. If you are not satisfied with the price, just take it back.
Zhang An sat at the old uncle's house for a while, told the old uncle and Zhang Ping about setting out the net to pull fish tomorrow, and then went to other people's houses to invite people.
Although the fish pond is not big, it still takes several people to pull the trawl net.
Zhang An called his second and third uncles, as well as Zhou Yang and Huang Ming, plus Zhang Ping and his father and son, it was enough.
After calling Teacher Xiao Su at night, Zhang An fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ding Yi and the others came over.
Lu Jun drove a live fish transport truck with his driver, and Ding Yi also drove a small truck by himself.
"Why are you here so early today? It's not even nine o'clock yet."
Now that we have arrived at the village, it proves that Ding Yi and the others started setting off at around six o'clock.
"It's not that I came early, it's that this guy kept urging me to come quickly."
Ding Yi was also a little helpless. Lu Jun called him out of bed early in the morning.
This guy doesn't care about his employees at all. The driver only arrived in the county last night and he won't let anyone sleep for a while today.
"Hehehe, I also want to pack it up early so that we can go back early. If we leave late, we will have to arrive in the middle of the night."
Although Zhang An has seen this live fish transport truck, he has never seen what it looks like inside.
In response to Zhang An's curiosity, Ding Yi asked the master to open the car door, and Zhang An climbed up to take a look.
This is actually a truck compartment, but it is equipped with sinks, water filling, drainage equipment and water pumps to circulate water.
The most important thing is the oxygenator, which can prevent fish from being deprived of oxygen in these tanks.
When the old uncle saw the truck driving to the door of Zhang An's house, he ran over and took a look.
Ding Yi took out the cigarettes he brought and spread them around for everyone.
It was still early, so Ding Yi went to the drying field with his uncle.
After the old man shouted through the loudspeaker, someone would come over with the item and ask for the price.
Lu Jun's car was placed in the yard of Zhang An's house, and everyone was busy with their own business.
When he got up in the morning, Zhang An started draining the water from the fish pond.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to pull the net in such a deep pond.
Lu Jun and the others had to return to the provincial capital in a hurry, so Zhang An did not waste time.
He immediately called someone and started to enter the water.
Knowing that Zhang An's family wanted to sell fish from the fish pond, Huang Ming, Zhou Yang and others came over to help pull the net.
One by one, they watched the fish hauling truck arrive, all wearing half-length leather pants, and began to launch the trawl net.
Although these pants are called leather pants, they are actually made of rubber and are only available in a few stores in the village.
There is only one in Zhang An's house, and the others were borrowed by Zhang Jianguo when he went out last night.
Because Zhang An released the water, now after everyone enters the water, the water is only as deep as everyone’s thighs.
But there are too many fish in the fish pond, and the fish are so densely packed that the trawl net cannot drag them at all.
Zhang An didn't know much about the fish in the pond.
In order to avoid the situation where Lu Jun drove over and there wouldn’t be many fish inside.
So Zhang An also put some in from the space last night.
"Why don't you put some in first? There are too many fish in this pond."
Zhang Jianguo smiled when he saw so many fish, even though the trawl net could not drag them.
This was the first time Zhang An saw his father smiling so happily in front of so many people.
Lu Jun asked someone to take out several large baskets from the car. These plastic baskets were smoother than the bamboo baskets in the village.
If packed in a plastic basket, it can reduce damage to the product.
In the end, Fatty Lu got so excited watching from above that he changed into a pair of leather pants and ran into the water to catch him.
The fish in the pond are very fierce and energetic, especially those that Zhang An just released from space.
It is difficult for everyone to catch it with bare hands, so they can only use a net.
Needless to say Zhang An, everyone knows that when the small fish are put back into the pond, a basket of them will be caught soon.
Everyone has already divided them up when fishing in the water, so they can be weighed directly when they are brought to the shore.
Finally, there were too many people in the pond, and Zhang An called his father to go ashore to count them.
After weighing the fish, pour it directly into the water tank in the car.
Everyone fished in the water for two or three hours. Zhang An felt that it was almost done. If he fished again, the pond would be finished.
Wang Fang took Zhang An's two aunts to cook in the kitchen.
By the time the caught fish is weighed, the dishes in the kitchen are already ready.
Before eating, Lu Jun began to settle accounts.
The quantity he found was exactly the same as Zhang An's father's statistics, which proved that there was no mistake.
After all, it's all money, and brothers still settle accounts, so it's necessary for a couple.
After the final calculation of the general ledger, the total amount was more than 20,000 yuan, almost 30,000 yuan.
Of course, eels account for the majority here, and each one is huge.
And although the number of mandarin fish is not large, it is better because of its size.
But Lu Jun didn't dislike the size of these fish, on the contrary, he was very happy.
The bigger the thin-scaled fish, mandarin fish, and yellow-bone fish grow, the bigger the profit he can make.
So this is one of the reasons why Lu Jun was willing to give Zhang An a price.
Watching Lu Jun count money to Zhang An, everyone present felt as if they were suspended.
They have always said that Zhang An can make money, but they have never seen how Zhang An makes money.
But today was different. Everyone present saw basket after basket of fish being weighed on the scale with their own eyes.
Several people in the village watched Zhang An make so much money selling fish.
My mind is burning now, and I am thinking about digging up the fields at home and raising fish like Zhang An.
But then he quickly shook his head to get rid of this unrealistic idea.
No matter how much he can afford to eat, he doesn't have Zhang An's ability to raise fish.
If you really get mad and do this, I'm afraid even the money you have at home won't be enough.
"Guigui, this is the first time I've seen fish sold for so much money."
It’s not that everyone has never seen so much money, the main reason is that selling fish can be so valuable. No one expected it.
Among the people present in the village, only Zhou Yang knew that the fish just caught was very valuable.
"Hahaha, not all fish can be sold for such a high price. If they are grass carp and carp, they may only be sold for a fraction."
After hearing what everyone said, I opened my mouth to explain it to everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Any was not raising ordinary grass carp and carp.
After the business was done, Lu Jun was in a hurry to go back, so Zhang An called everyone to come to the table and start the dinner.
On the table today, what Wang Fang cooked was a real fish feast, with no other dishes at all.
It was all the fish that had just been caught, making a table full of them.
Everyone looked at such expensive fish and now wanted to eat two more chopsticks.
After finishing the meal, Lu Jun did not stay long.
After saying hello to Ding Yi and Zhang An, he drove back to the provincial capital with his master.
The harvest stall at Ding Yi’s side is also very popular.
Because the price given by Ding Yi was almost twice that of the dealer, and the price was not lowered.
So after the people in the village saw it, they sold all the stock at home that was reserved for their own consumption.
If you can sell it at a high price, what else can you eat?
So while eating, the two employees he brought from the supermarket were still busy collecting and paying for the goods.
"It seems like you have a good harvest today. You drove the truck correctly."
If Ding Yi drove another car today, he might not be able to pretend.
Most of these mountain products are dry goods, mushrooms and the like.
It looks like a big bag, but it actually doesn't weigh much.
"Come on, let me show you something."
Ding Yi picked up a bag of things from the cab and showed them to Zhang An.
This guy actually received morels and Hericium mushrooms in the village.
Zhang An himself has never encountered one in the mountains, which is good luck.
"Hey, I don't plan to sell this stuff, I'll keep it for myself at home."
I arrived in the morning and received goods at around two o'clock in the afternoon, when Ding Yi's work of receiving goods was finally over.
Finally, Ding Yi told everyone that next time you have something, don’t rush to sell it to others. He will come to collect it next month.
Everyone was very happy and told Ding Yi to remember to come, and they would definitely keep it waiting for him.
After several maids in the village sold their things, they also gave Ding Yi some nuts, mostly walnuts and pine nuts.
"By the way, how many of the walnuts we ate yesterday do you still have at home?"
Ding Yi cracked open some walnuts given to him by the maids in the village and found that they tasted pretty good.
But compared with the walnuts from Zhang An's family, they are still a bit inferior.
"Don't be tempted by my walnuts. I can give you a few kilograms of them if you like them. I don't have many left at home."
This man was addicted to harvest, and even set his sights on Zhang Anna's spiced walnuts.
Zhang An did plant a lot of them in his space, but Zhang An didn't take out many.
"Okay, you can pack some for me later and I'll take it back. But people in the city are not so lucky and can't eat such delicious walnuts."
After sending Ding Yi away, Zhang An had time to relax.
I followed my father to the river and washed the trawl net and leather pants that had been put into the pond in the morning.
After drying, it can be returned to others.
"Anzi, why don't our family buy a big trawl net?"
While the father and son were clearing nets in the river, Zhang Jianguo discussed it with Zhang An.
He felt that since he had a fish pond at home, he would spend more time using the net later, so it would be more appropriate to prepare one at home.
Otherwise, every time I use it, I have to go to someone else’s house to borrow it.
Once or twice, people are happy to lend you money, but if the number of times increases, they feel unhappy.
"Then buy it. It's convenient when you need it at home."
