This thing is delicious, nutritious, and has few bones, so many people like it.

Loach in tofu, loach stewed in sauce, loach slices with pepper and salt, and loach stewed in casserole are all dishes that many people love to eat.

So for several days in a row, Zhang Qiang and An Laosi went to catch loaches in the middle of the night and then delivered them to the restaurant.

Today, two people caught 30 kilograms of loach fish. The restaurant bought them for 6 yuan. We sold them for 18 yuan per catch, and each of us got 9 yuan.

This is a bigger profit than selling eggs, and it also opened up a new path for the two of them. During this period, they can also go to the river to catch fish or conchs, small fish and shrimps, etc. The restaurants will buy them. If they are big fish with good appearance, they will buy them for eight pounds.

The two of them were also discussing going into the mountains to hunt, to see if they could hunt pheasants, but they didn't dare to think about hunting wild boars, as they didn't want to risk their lives.

Just as he was doing this, he heard a voice behind him, "Don't move!" which frightened him.

"Old Four!"

"Brother! What are you doing? Why are you still not sleeping so late? You scared me to death!" An Laosi patted himself hurriedly. His heart was so scared that it almost jumped out.

"I was just about to ask you, what are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?" Brother An looked at his fourth brother.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I... I have a child." The fourth brother didn't want to tell this to his elder brother. Given his temper, if he knew, he would scold him for a long time. He still wanted to go to bed.

"Tell the truth, what were you doing? What happened that required you to go out in the middle of the night?" Brother An was also afraid that his fourth brother would provoke him.

Seeing his brother's relentless attitude, An Lao Si had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else!"

The fourth brother told Zhang Qiang from the educated youth point about his recent experience catching and selling loaches.

After hearing this, Mr. An said nothing and remained silent for a moment.

“Do you really make money?”

"Brother, I can't lie to you anymore. Look, this is the nine dollars I got today. This is real money, right?" The fourth brother took out his nine dollars.

Looking at the money in his fourth brother's hand, An Ge seemed to have made up his mind. He had earned so much in one night. If he worked for a month, he would be able to pay back the money owed to his third brother and his wife, and even have some money left over.

He now knew how it felt to be defeated by a penny.

He has four maids in his family, and he must prepare a decent dowry for each of them in the future. He cannot just ignore them because they are daughters.

"Fourth brother, can you... take care of my older brother? You know... my older brother has been..." His voice was a little timid. He was the older brother, but he was not as capable as his two younger brothers.

The fourth brother saw the embarrassment of his brother and said, "Okay, no problem! I'll talk to Zhang Qiang tomorrow."

"Fourth Brother, no matter whether it works or not, I have to thank you." After all, it is a profitable business. It is normal if the other party is unwilling. He will find another way.

The next day, An Lao Si went to find Zhang Qiang, who immediately agreed. He believed that there was strength in numbers, and if they caught more, they could make more money.

The people in the An family were very reliable. By establishing close ties with them, he would have someone to back him up when he joined the Songshan Brigade.

"Brother, he agrees. Let's take action tonight." The fourth general quickly told his brother.

"Fourth brother, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? You are my brother. As long as you don't blame me for leading you astray, that's enough. After all, this kind of relationship is still risky. Brother, you missed it." The fourth brother is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that if something goes wrong, his brother will blame him.

"No, I can't thank you enough. If it's true... then it's my bad luck. I don't have that kind of fortune. It has nothing to do with you." Old An decided to give it a try.

People will not break out of their original thinking circle unless they are forced into desperate situations.

This is what is called finding a way out of a desperate situation.
