Zhong Wanwan smiled broadly:
"Can I pick them up? My brother and I don't mind the trouble, we just love eating them!"
Manager Wei casually said:
"You can pick these up first, and have them put them together in the next net so you don't have to bother!"
That's great! Otherwise, if you throw small fish and shrimp onto the ice, they'll freeze instantly, and it'll be quite a hassle to peel them off!
Bai Yueyao saw Zhong Wanwan picking up small fish and shrimp and originally wanted to join in.
Then she realized she wouldn't know how to make it, so picking it up would be pointless and she gave up on the idea.
However, she didn't want it, but she was unwilling to let Zhong Wanwan and her brother benefit from it. Bai Yueyao's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind.
Now is not a good time to bring this up. She'll reveal it when the fish are being distributed, so that Zhong Wanwan's efforts will be in vain.
Although the fish and shrimp weren't very big, there were so many of them! Seeing that she was picking them up too slowly, Zhong Wanwan called Wei Youliang over and discussed it with him:
"If you have grain, you can keep an eye on these small fish and shrimp for me today. If you pick them all up, I'll reward each of you with ten candies. How about that?"
Ten pieces of candy are quite a lot, but if you include all these little rascals, Zhong Wanwan will have to spend 3-4 catties of candy.
The reason she gave so much was not only to find people to do the work, but mainly because she was picking up these small fish and shrimp, even though they were unwanted by the villagers on the farm.
But in the end, everyone benefited by giving the children a few extra pieces of candy, which was a form of compensation.
"He who eats another's food is bound to him," and for the sake of these sweets, the village aunties and grandmas won't say much!
Wei Youliang's eyes lit up and he said:
"Master Zhong, are you serious? If each of us gives us ten pieces of candy, then with so many of us, we'd need 3-4 pounds of candy!"
Zhong Wanwan smiled like a fox and whispered to Wei Youliang:
"Tomorrow, the food factory in the next county will send a tractor over, saying that once it's repaired, they'll give you 30 jin of internal food coupons."
Zhong Wanwan's tractor repair skills have made her quite famous.
Not to mention that tractors from An County are occasionally sent over for repairs, even those from neighboring counties and cities are sometimes sent over to Zhong Wanwan.
Of course, this kind of work is different from that of our own commune. There is no salary, but the benefits are naturally much greater!
However, Zhong Wanwan doesn't keep all of it for herself; she usually shares it with her apprentices.
She takes half, and the other half is divided equally among the three people.
This method of division is quite generous for both the master and the apprentice!
For most craftsmen, it's considered good if even a tiny bit leaks between their fingers!
Zhong Wanwan is a big name; not only can she give them a lot of practice material, but she also shares things with them. This is a rare opportunity!
Wei Youliang said happily:
"The food factory in the next county? Is it the one that makes orange candy? Their orange candy is really delicious. Can you exchange your internal food ration coupons for it?"
Zhong Wanwan smiled and nodded:
"Why can't I exchange them? I'm going to exchange all 15 pounds of them for those orange candies you mentioned!"
Not only can they be exchanged, but the internal food coupons are different from the non-staple food coupons issued by the factory. The internal food coupons are free.
