"Wife, I believe your idea will succeed."
Seeing that Ye Wangshu looked a little hesitant, Zhou Jincong stated his position again.
Ye Wangshu nodded at Zhou Jincong's trusting look, then looked at the village chief and others.
"My dear uncles, my idea is actually very simple. It's also easy to do. The only difficulty is how to expand the market."
Ye Wangshu now points out the difficulties to prevent others from blindly following suit.
"I read a few medical books at home and found that the geographical environment of our village is very suitable for raising leeches. Leeches are a type of leech and have great medicinal effects. As far as I know, a pound of dried leeches can be sold for a few yuan. Good quality ones can even sell for more than ten yuan."
Ye Wangshu simply converted the price.
What she didn't say was that the price could indeed be so high, but it was difficult to find a market.
"Can this be sold?" Everyone frowned when they thought of the leech's pitch-black appearance.
How can such a harmful insect be sold at such a high price after being dried?
"That's why I didn't tell you about this idea in advance. I plan to raise it myself first, and then once I find a market and make some money, I'll help my fellow villagers get rich together!"
"Is this really your plan?" The village chief looked at Ye Wangshu and was still a little skeptical about his plan.
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I've already made a plan. It will be difficult at first, but as long as we get out there, it will be fine."
Ye Wangshu briefly explained his plan, leaving everyone confused, as if he would become rich tomorrow.
"Well said, do your best! If you have any difficulties, come to me and I will definitely support you!"
The village chief raised his hand to pat Ye Wangshu on the shoulder, but when he saw Zhou Jincong's cold face, he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
With the support of the villagers, Ye Wangshu was full of energy. That evening, he told Zhou Jincong that he was going to the city to buy feed for the leeches.
"Leechdust eats small fish, shrimp, and earthworms. Nowadays, no one farms earthworms, and no one specifically catches them to sell. But I saw someone selling small fish and shrimp last time."
"But the fields have only been dug. We haven't brought in water yet, and we haven't found any leeches yet. Isn't it too early to sell feed now?"
Zhou Jincong looked at Ye Wangshu with excitement and couldn't help but pour cold water on her.
"Small fish and shrimp are hard to come by, so I'll buy some and raise them first!" Ye Wangshu frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "I always feel like something is missing, it's this feed!"
"These things are hard to buy. I'll buy a little every day now, and then I can raise my own fish and shrimp. Then my leeches won't have to go hungry. What do you think?"
Zhou Jincong nodded. "If we have more fish and shrimp, we can sell them. It won't be a big loss."
"clever!"
After Ye Wangshu thought it over, he yawned, pulled the quilt over himself, and fell asleep.
"You fell asleep so quickly." Zhou Jincong tucked in the quilt for Ye Wangshu, glanced at her, and fell asleep too.
The next day, Ye Wangshu got up very early.
Small fish and shrimps are not often available, and there are only a few of them every day.
Ye Wangshu didn't even eat and took the first bus to the city.
Her mind and eyes were filled with small fish and shrimps, and she didn't notice that there was a figure following her early.
As soon as the car stopped, Ye Wangshu went straight to the place where he remembered selling small fish and shrimps.
However, when she arrived at the place, all she saw was a small vegetable stall.
"Auntie, do you know where the place selling small fish and shrimp is?"
The vegetable seller saw that Ye Wangshu was dressed elegantly and thought she was a wealthy family member who came to buy vegetables, so she greeted her with a smile.
However, as soon as she started asking questions, the old lady's expression immediately changed.
"He! He can't afford the stall fee, so he must be running around carrying buckets of water."
The old lady waved her hand in disdain, "Go away! Don't delay my business."
Ye Wangshu didn't take the old lady's attitude towards her seriously. She was just worried about where to find that person.
If you have a fixed stall, it will be much easier.
However, there are no ifs in the world.
Ye Wangshu pursed his lips and walked forward aimlessly.
The familiar smell of disinfectant made Ye Wangshu speechless.
I'm not even a doctor, why am I still going to the hospital?
Ye Wangshu shook his head and was about to change direction when he saw the target of his trip.
"Brother, how do you sell these small fish and shrimp?"
Ye Wangshu's face was filled with smiles. The vendor saw it and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Girl, do you really want to buy these things?"
"Of course I didn't see you at the stall over there. You were just wandering around! I didn't expect to run into you here."
Ye Wangshu squatted down and looked at the small fish and shrimps in the bucket, feeling very satisfied.
There are quite a few of these little things, and they are all alive and well.
At least when she looked, she didn't see any floating up.
"One cent for a bamboo tube. How much do you want, girl?" Seeing Ye Wangshu looking at the bucket so seriously, the peddler wiped his hands on his clothes, then untied a bamboo tube from his waist.
Ye Wangshu looked at the bamboo tube that was thicker and longer than his forearm, and for a moment he sighed that the prices in this era were really low.
But...that's not all she wants.
"Brother, I want them all, okay?"
"This..." The vendor scratched his head embarrassedly, "Miss, why do you need so many small fish and shrimps?"
Of course it's for eating. Big brother, tell me how much it costs in total, and I'll give it to you right now. But..." Ye Wangshu frowned and looked at the two huge buckets, feeling a little worried.
How can she transport these things back?
With her small arms and legs, she was quite good at hitting people with her strength, but these two big buckets really put her in a difficult position.
"If you want both, I'll give you the bucket and the load."
Seeing that Ye Wangshu didn't seem to be joking, the vendor seemed much happier. "It's just that the price... I really don't know how to set it."
"That's easy, big brother. I'll lend you the bamboo tube."
The vendor didn't understand what was going on, but he still handed over the bamboo tube.
Ye Wangshu compared the length, thickness, and shape of the bamboo tube and the bucket, then said, "Brother, I'll give you two dollars!"
"Two dollars!?" The vendor looked at Ye Wangshu in disbelief, unable to believe his ears for a moment.
Ye Wangshu nodded. "I just compared them. The capacity of this bucket is a hundred times larger than that of the bamboo tube. According to what you said, one bamboo tube is worth one cent, so one hundred cents is one dollar."
"No, the bucket isn't full. One dollar, one dollar will do! I can barely even get eighty cents! How can I charge you so much!"
The peddler refused to take the two dollars no matter what, but Ye Wangshu insisted on giving it to him.
"Small fish and shrimp are all very fresh now. It's normal that you asked for a lower price since they weren't fresh before. Besides, this bucket and the carrying pole are valuable! I even asked Big Brother to help me carry this bucket onto the bus! Even the labor fee should be included in it!"
Seeing Ye Wangshu like this, the peddler had no choice but to agree.
After all, he also wants to make more money.
