Chapter 405: Fishing begins again
Ye quickly got up to prepare food for Zhou's mother and changed the subject.
Those villagers who left were gone for most of the day, and when they came back, many of them brought meat, eggs and vegetables to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Ye was panicking. "We appreciate the kindness of the ladies and aunts, but we can't finish all this food!"
"It's okay, it's okay! Take it home and cook whatever you want. Just tell Mr. Zhou and the kids what they want to eat. They need to eat well in such cold weather to gain weight so that they can be put to good use next year."
"Hahaha, you're right, that's the truth!" Everyone laughed in agreement.
Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Mrs. Ye and Zhou's mother could only thank them one by one and pack up their things.
Mrs. Zhang kindly reminded them, "You guys! You don't have to be polite when you come to our village. Now every household has more houses. Many families have learned from Chen Yi to grow vegetables in greenhouses. We don't lack vegetables to eat in winter, not to mention meat. Some time ago, the herdsmen on the ice field sent tens of thousands of sheep to Dahe Town, and every household in the village has raised a few.
As for cattle, pigs are raised from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. If it gets colder in a few days, every household will slaughter pigs and sheep, and there will be no shortage of meat. Oh, by the way! When the river freezes, there will be a caravan delivering seafood to the Shen family. Then I will let you see what a big fish weighing three or four hundred kilograms looks like. It is so rare!"
"Three or four hundred kilograms! How can there be such a big fish!" Zhou's mother retorted subconsciously.
Mrs. Zhang became more and more excited. "Don't disbelieve me. We have all seen this in our village. We will have to find someone to help us when the time comes! If you can do it, you can also go and earn money. The wages there are higher. You can earn 100 coins a day!"
Ye suddenly became interested, "Auntie, can you tell me what you do?"
"It's just sorting and packing the seafood, and maybe dealing with some things with shells. It's still working in a shed, and there's a stove, but you have to go in and out frequently, which is definitely not as comfortable as here. Anyway, an old woman like me can't do that kind of work."
Mother Zhou immediately shook her head with regret, "My eldest sister can't do it, let alone me! Forget it! We are doing well the way we are now."
People can't be too greedy.
Mrs. Zhang agreed with this.
After Zhou's mother and Ye returned, they had to tell Zhou Ran the news they had heard.
Zhou Ran believed it, but he just couldn't imagine it.
Within two days, an autumn rain came suddenly and the northwest wind blew all night. When the villagers woke up in the morning, they found icicles hanging under the eaves. Raindrops fell along the icicles, making everything wet and freezing cold.
Su Tai pushed open the door, glanced at the eaves, and knew that it was time for her to work.
She put on her coat, walked across the porch to the opposite row of rooms, and knocked on the first door.
Shen Yuezhang hurriedly opened the door for her, then quickly closed it, "Mom, is it snowing outside?"
"Not yet! Counting the days, the seafood should arrive in the next two days. Your father is busy with things in the county and can't come back. I have to take care of the family business. Your brothers and sisters will be handed over to you in the next few days. Be calm and steady, and listen to you. I am not worried. But Cong Yu and Yue An, these two devils, really can't let down their guard at all.
I had thought of sending them to your maternal grandparents' house, where at least there are elders to look after them. But I didn't expect that this would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, which completely aroused their wildness. This time, mother has only one request, that you take them to the village school every morning and hand them over to Mr. Chu and Mr. Zhou, and it's best to keep them separated.
Bring them back in the evening and don't let them enter the kitchen, okay?"
Su Tai looked at her eldest daughter eagerly.
Shen Yuezhang met her pleading eyes, sighed secretly, and nodded slightly, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not make any mistakes this time."
Su Tai reached out and helped Shen Yuezhang tuck the loose hair behind his ears. "Mother knows that you have a quiet personality and don't like to care about your brothers and sisters. I will give you a reward for these two days."
"I got it, mother!" Shen Yuezhang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and made the promise again.
Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went to the back room to look for her eldest son, using the same rhetoric.
Shen Congrong acted very positively, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my brothers and sisters, and what happened before will definitely not happen again."
Su Tai immediately covered his mouth to prevent him from swearing.
Then the twins were found.
"Mom has to work in Dahe Town for the next half month. You two must stay in the village and not go anywhere else except the village school and home."
The twins exchanged glances.
Shen Congyu asked weakly: "Can we go play with Sister Xiaoxi?"
"No." Su Tai refused without even thinking.
"What about my aunt's house?" Shen Yue'an asked while jumping and trying to please her.
Su Tai still remained unmoved.
The twins wilted instantly.
"Okay! We'll listen to our mother?"
Su Tai was satisfied, but a little worried. She looked back at the two little ones and asked, "You guys are not pretending to obey, are you?"
The twins shook their heads wildly.
"Mom, we're almost sick of writing, we don't want to do it a third time!"
Only then did Su Tai feel at ease to leave.
The villa on the bank of the Daxun River had been uninhabited for nearly a year. Before the snow fell, Su Tai invited some women from Zhangjia Village to clean it up, and also asked the villagers to make thousands of rattan baskets and large wooden plates.
The woodshed was also filled with firewood, waiting to be burned in the stove to keep the house warm when work was needed.
She went straight to the warehouse, took out all the wooden trays on the shelves, and placed them in the open space in the courtyard. The caught seafood could then be transported to the yard through the medium pipe.
It will be frozen after a while and it won’t get dirty.
After doing all this, she immediately entered the Gate of Time and Space, spent 200,000 virtual coins to rent a deep-sea fishing boat, and also rented tools such as media pipelines, and sent them to the Water Space-Time Port.
When Su Tai went up to the second floor of the fishing boat again, he was already able to operate the system with familiarity and could even control the time accurately.
According to Su Zhan and others, the bluefin tuna sent to the imperial capital last year was loved by many nobles. Xiaoxi's shop even hung a sold out sign and many people came to inquire about it, and several families wanted to make reservations.
Xiaoxi was not sure whether the goods would be available, so she pushed the money she had earned away, which made her very sad.
Thinking of this, Su Tai decisively set his fishing target to bluefin tuna.
One advantage of catching deep-sea fish is that the fishing boats have preliminary identification and classification capabilities, and will also do preliminary bleeding and preservation of the fish, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
After pressing the button.
Su Tai lay down on the sofa, covered herself with a thick blanket, and fell asleep in a short while.
When the first line comes up, the system will sound a reminder.
Su Tai immediately opened her eyes, looked around, and made a second choice.
That night, she did nothing but focus on the screen.
It was almost time to leave the water space-time.
The courtyard of the villa has been occupied by bluefin tuna.
She hurriedly opened the gate, went back to the village and called Chen Zhuang and Chen Mu, and also brought some village women who were more skilled at work.
In addition, more than half of the villagers from Zhangjia Village also came.
