After hearing this, Hu Xiaoyi did not take a nap, but took an axe and went up the mountain to cut trees.
The Yang family had lunch and were taking a nap.
The gate to the yard was open. Hu Lin glanced around and saw that there was no one there. He didn't call anyone, but sneaked in and knocked on Yang Qing's door.
Yang Qing was sleeping soundly on the bed. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he struggled to get up and opened the door with a sleepy look on his face.
When he first saw Hu Lin, he didn't take it seriously, but the next second his eyes widened with surprise.
"How did you—"
Before Yang Qing finished speaking, Hu Lin interrupted him, "Let's talk inside, don't disturb others' sleep."
The house next to Yang Qing belongs to Yang Jing and his wife.
When Yang Qing heard this, he stepped back into the house and let Hu Lin come in.
After closing the door, Yang Qing then asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
"You still have to work in the afternoon, so I'll come and reconcile the accounts with you while you're taking a break." Hu Lin explained and sat down on a chair in the room.
Yang Qing gave the account book for the past six months to Hu Lin.
"I'll get you a glass of water."
"Um."
Hu Lin was looking through the account book, and Yang Qing went out and poured a cup of warm water and placed it next to Hu Lin.
Hu Lin was checking the accounts and Yang Qing was watching beside him. For a while, the only sound in the room was the turning of pages.
She knew Yang Qing wouldn't fool her, but she still pretended and read carefully.
Not long after, the account books for the past few months were all looked through, and Hu Lin also looked at the wages paid to Chen Zixiang and others.
Finally, they added up the profits and calculated how much she and Yang Qing shared.
"The net profit is 5,660 yuan. I'll take 60% and you'll take 40%. That means I'll get 3,396 yuan and you'll get 2,264 yuan.
Do you want to double-check?"
As Hu Lin was speaking, Yang Qing took out a money box and opened it.
"No, you're smarter than me, that's for sure."
Hu Lin and Yang Qing counted the money.
While counting the money, Hu Lin also asked about some business matters, "How many kilograms of loaches and eels are delivered to the state-owned restaurant every day?"
"Basically less than ten kilograms. Recently, Chen Zixiang and his friends said that there are not many left in the village, so they want to catch them somewhere else."
"Have you found a good place?"
“Not yet. In the past few days, Huang Guohui and Liu Hai have been going to nearby villages to check whenever they have time.
There is water in the river downstream, but many people from other villages are fetching water from the river, and they are afraid that if they go too often, people will notice it, so they haven't gone yet.
Recently I have been thinking about whether I should buy some fish fry and raise them in the river. When they grow up, I can sell them for money.
But in this way, some fish fry will also flow downstream along the river, and those fish fry will eventually become the bargain for others.
When winter comes, I don’t know if the fish in the river can survive. After thinking about it, I feel it’s not worth it.”
Yang Qing expressed his thoughts.
“Everything is gained, and every thing is lost. You can use this excuse to catch fish downstream in the future.
As for whether the fish can survive the winter, we can only try and see.”
Hu Lin thought this was a good idea, and added,
“From now on, we can release a batch of fish fry into the river every spring. After a few years, there will always be fish fry that can adapt to the winter.
By the way, how much are the fish fry for sale? Where did you see fish fry for sale? "
“It’s sold at the state-owned vegetable market, and it’s quite cheap.
I ran into it once this year when I went shopping.
Later, after Huang Guohui and others talked about the supply problem, I had this idea and started to pay attention to it.
However, fish fry are sold in the market very rarely, only once a month.
And the quantity is not large, probably because not many people buy it. "
Yang Qing explained.
"After that, you buy them all and release them into the river so that everyone in the village will know about it. This will earn you a good reputation and also stop the gossip."
Hu Lin settled down.
Yang Qing didn't say anything, but was surprised that Hu Lin knew the gossip in the village, "How did you know?"
"It seems like it's true." Hu Lin understood when he saw Yang Qing's surprised look.
"You go down to the river every day to catch loaches and eels. Even if the villagers are blind, they should have noticed something was wrong. It's normal for them to gossip.
Suppress these words before everyone comes over out of curiosity to find out what you are doing.
When the fry grow up, more people will go down to the river to catch them, and no one will keep an eye on you anymore."
"Okay, let's do as you say." Yang Qing suddenly understood.
After they counted the money and found that it was no different from what was in the account book, they began to count their respective profits.
“But Chen Zixiang and the others have been under a lot of pressure recently.
Their families don’t know about this and think they are uneducated and don’t want them to do this anymore.”
Yang Qing started talking about the followers again.
"Were they delayed in starting work?" Hu Lin was somewhat puzzled.
"No, I caught them during lunch break and after dinner."
"That's it, what are they worried about?" Hu Lin felt that their parents were too controlling.
