Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...
An old man walked out of the crowd and asked Yu Qingqing in a friendly manner.
Seeing that there were already 20 to 30 people gathered in front of her, Yu Qingqing felt that it was enough. "Dear uncles, brothers and sisters, sorry to bother you. The thing is, hasn't our family been doing business recently?
This time, we received a large order for a lot of dried meat, so we would like to ask for your help. We will also pay you to help us catch fish, shrimp, and crabs.
If you are willing, you can come to me and register directly, and we can start working today."
A table was set up next to Yu Qingqing, and Yu Qinghai was registering the number of people. This matter had already been discussed with Yuan Xichen, who trusted Yu Qingqing's craftsmanship and agreed to order as many as he wanted.
Fortunately, Yu Qingqing was wise and put a lot of dogwood in the kitchen in advance. This time she planned to make a slightly spicy dish, which would be better for people who like spicy food in cold weather.
There is a lot of ginger in the kitchen that we dug last time. If it is not enough, we can go to the pond to dig more at any time. It is no problem.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
"I can, I'm strong and can catch a lot of fish!"
"And me, I can do it too!"
Soon after hearing the news, everyone rushed over impatiently, all vying to do the job.
However, everyone knew each other and there was no bad feeling. After calming down, they lined up seriously again.
After the registration was completed, Yu Qingqing led some people to the river, took the tools prepared in advance, and explained what to do specifically as they walked.
This time, the Yu family plans to pay workers 25 cents a day, but meals will not be included.
This time, Yu Qingqing chose a larger river, which was some distance away from Taotao Village.
After arriving at the river, Yu Qingqing pointed at the fish swimming in the river and repeatedly emphasized, "Everyone, remember, safety first. If you accidentally fall into the water, remember to call for help in time.
The person who goes to rescue someone should hold a stick or rope. If you can't swim, don't go into the water to rescue someone rashly.
If you don't know something, be sure to ask someone who knows. I will be with you personally for the next few days, and there will be someone to guide you later."
There were twenty people following Yu Qingqing, all of them were aunts and sisters older than her, and there was only one little girl who was about the same age as her.
"Yu girl, we got it. We will definitely pay attention to it." Everyone in the crowd was excited because they could also make money like the men.
The other side was full of men, who were led by Qinghai to catch fish and shrimp.
This time, Yu Qingqing and her friends prepared net bags and fish baskets, which were made in a hurry by Yu Qingshu, Yu Qinghai and others after dinner.
Yu Qingqing arranged for someone to put some pig offal into the fish basket and place it in a suitable location.
He also personally demonstrated and taught them how to fish, and soon Yu Qingqing caught her first fish.
"Wow, that's amazing! They caught the fish in just a short time." Mrs. Wu in the village clapped her hands in applause.
However, after Yu Qingqing's operation just now, the river water in front of him became a little turbid.
She changed the location and continued the previous operation, but she didn't catch any fish due to her mistake, and she didn't lose heart.
Yu Qingqing continued walking forward, then stopped and turned around to look at everyone seriously and said, "Even if one fish escapes, there will always be another one. Don't be discouraged or disheartened, this is all normal.
If the water here is no longer clear, just keep going forward and find another spot, then continue."
There are also a lot of aquatic plants in the river, and fish like to hide in them and not come out.
Madam Wu walked behind Yu Qingqing, holding a net bag in her left hand and an empty bucket in her right hand. "I understand, little girl from the Yu family."
Those who didn't have net bags were responsible for carrying the buckets. Everyone worked together and was very kind.
After an hour and a half, Yu Qingqing and her friends had a rich harvest, catching ten buckets of fish and eight buckets of prawns.
It was not late at this time, and the sun was still shining brightly.
Seeing that it was almost done, Yu Qingqing took people and rushed home. When they arrived home, Yu Qinghai had already returned.
Yu Qinghai ran up to Yu Qingqing excitedly and asked mysteriously, "Third sister, guess how many fish we caught."
As soon as Yu Qingqing saw him like that, she knew it must be quite a lot. She rolled her eyes at Yu Qinghai and asked nonchalantly, "How much? You're still keeping me in suspense."
Yu Qinghai directly pulled his sister to the kitchen, where there were more than 30 wooden barrels, all filled with fish.
Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up because she saw that there was only one fish in one bucket, and the head of that fish weighed about eight or nine kilograms.
She turned around and stared at Yu Qinghai in surprise, and asked in a lost voice: "Did you really catch this fish? How come it's so big? It must have taken a lot of effort to catch this fish."
Yu Qingqing guessed that this fish must be very difficult to catch, as it was the first time she had seen such a big fish.
"Haha? Yes! Thanks to those strong people in the village, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to catch such a big fish." Yu Qinghai laughed, feeling that he had done something particularly successful.
The big fish in the wooden barrel was still struggling. Fortunately, it was tied up with a rope, otherwise it would have run out of the barrel soon.
After catching so many fish, it is natural to clean them immediately and prepare to make dried fish.
Yu Qingqing called people over and asked them to divide the work and cooperate with each other, which would greatly improve efficiency.
There were about thirty or forty people standing in front of him. Yu Qingqing looked at them seriously and said, "Everyone, please help kill the fish first, clean it and set it aside.
The other ten people here, follow me and prepare some seasonings. Let's get started. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly."
After giving a few simple instructions, Yu Qingqing began to take action.
Yu Qinghai led everyone to move the fish to the other side of the pond, scrape off the scales and remove the internal organs before taking them back.
Yu Qingqing led the others to the kitchen and pointed to something in the corner and said, "Sisters, here are some dogwood and ginger. Now we need to clean them and chop them up."
Jiang Xiaomei on the side was the first to step forward. She quickly picked up a handful of dogwood and began to sort it out. When others saw this, they followed suit.
We caught a lot of fish today, and there was definitely not enough ginger here. Yu Qingqing called two more people to follow her to the pond.
Ginger leaves could be clearly seen on the ground. Yu Qingqing pulled apart a ginger seedling and started digging directly.
Soon, a large piece of white and tender ginger with a hint of yellow was easily dug out.
"Oh my god, is this the Jiang I saw just now?"
