Chapter 139 The Fish Pond is Built



When Liu Junyi heard Zhou Bin tell him to stop working for a while, the smile on his face froze instantly.

He rubbed his hands nervously and asked carefully, "Zhou Bin, did I make a mistake? Tell me and I will correct it."

Zhou Bin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? I didn't say you made any mistakes."

Liu Junyi asked with a depressed look on his face: "Then, why don't you let me work in your coal yard?"

You know, working in a coal yard, you can earn 150 yuan a month.

He was counting on this money to help Aniu get married and support his two grandchildren in the future.

Zhou Bin immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I haven't said the next thing yet. I want you to help me take care of the fish pond."

"What? You want me to help you raise fish? Oh, I can't do this. I have been farming all my life, how can I raise fish!" Liu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but said that he couldn't do it.

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "It's not just fish, there are also crabs and shrimps."

"No, no! I really can't do this. Let me continue digging coal." Liu Junyi repeatedly declined.

Zhou Bin could only explain to him: "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. I know how to do it. I can teach you. It's very simple. I just think that you are too old and it's too hard to dig coal in the kiln. Don't worry, the salary is the same as when you dig coal."

When Liu Junyi heard that the salary was the same, his eyes immediately lit up.

In fact, the reason why he was unwilling to go was that he was afraid that his salary would be reduced after he arrived at the fish pond, and he would suffer a loss.

So he asked, "Zhou Bin, do you also raise fish?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Of course I will. I will teach you when the time comes and you will be able to learn it in no time. What do you think of my suggestion?"

Liu Junyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I can give it a try. But what if I kill it?"

Zhou Bin laughed: "It's okay, just go ahead and do it. If it dies, it'll be my responsibility."

"That's fine, but how can I take care of such a big fish pond by myself?" Liu Junyi asked.

Zhou Bin smiled and told his plan: "I also want to call Uncle Jianhai over and let the two of you look after the farm for us. What do you think?"

Liu Junyi immediately became happy. Zhou Jianhai was an honest man and very hardworking. Of course he would be willing to work with such a person.

Seeing that Liu Junyi agreed, Zhou Bin immediately went with him to find Zhou Jianhai and told him about this idea.

Zhou Jianhai gave up the opportunity to go to the coal yard to his brother, and he actually felt quite regretful.

However, in order to take care of his old father, he chose to let his brothers go to work.

When I heard that there was an opportunity to make money this time, of course I was absolutely willing to do it.

Zhou Dexing was also very happy. This was such a great thing!

Zhou Bin had secured the candidates, and the next thing to do was to continue purchasing crabs and shrimps, and then buy some fish fry.

The reason for doing this is that crabs and shrimps are wild products that are unique to their area, and he wants to continue to maintain their quality.

Therefore, we will continue to purchase this time, but we have no requirements on the size. We want small seedlings, unlike in the past when we only wanted big ones.

As for the fish fry, he planned to buy some carp, grass carp and the like, because there were no wild fish in their ditch, so there was no way to catch them.

When the villagers saw that Zhou Bin had resumed purchasing crabs and shrimps, they began to use their free time to catch crabs and shrimps.

For everyone, more income means more hope, so everyone doesn’t feel tired.

Zhou Bin asked Mr. Hou to help him purchase a batch of fish fry, which he successfully put into the fish pond.

Then he began to teach Liu Junyi and Zhou Jianhai the breeding methods and precautions.

The two of them learned very quickly and basically mastered it in half a month.

Seeing that the two men had basically no problems, Zhou Bin handed the fish pond over to them with confidence and went home.

The villagers had been digging in the fields for generations and had never seen such a scene, so they all ran over to watch the fun.

Aunt Zhao stared at the sparkling water, her eyes flashing with envy: "My God, this pond is so big! It's much bigger than the old pond in our village!"

Liu Junyi showed a proud look: "Then you can do it! This pond is three acres in size. Do you think it is big?"

Aunt Zhao saw Liu Junyi holding a cigarette and tools in his hands, and he looked quite serious.

She couldn't help but tease him, "Ah! How come you are so comfortable, old man! You earn money while enjoying the cool breeze and the beautiful scenery. It's amazing!"

Liu Junyi flicked the ash off his cigarette and said with a smile, "You only see me being comfortable, but you never see me being tired. Feeding, cleaning, and catching crabs are not easy jobs either."

Aunt Zhao glanced at the small fish and shrimps in the water and said with a smile, "You are enjoying a good life!"

Liu Junyi smiled helplessly and said, "What kind of blessing do I have? I'm just a worker!"

While the two were talking, Wang Quanwa arrived.

As he walked, he looked into the water and said loudly, "My God! There are a lot of fish in this water!"

Liu Junyi smiled and said, "Of course, Zhou Bin went to buy a lot of fish fry."

Wang Quanwa came up to him, handed Liu Junyi a cigarette, and said, "Uncle Junyi, you have great skills. You have raised the fish very well!"

Liu Junyi laughed: "This is not just my achievement, it's also Jianhai's achievement."

Wang Quanwa looked at the sparkling water with an envious look on her face: "The scenery here is really beautiful, a bit like Jiangnan."

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately teased, "Oh, you also know Jiangnan?"
