Chapter 194 Oyster Farmers

After much persuasion, the couple finally persuaded the two kids to leave.

How can we let a little kid see the abortion?

Since Xu Mingwei had already made the decision, she would not procrastinate. The medicine was already ready, so she simply drank it in one gulp.

The effect of the medicine took effect very quickly. Although Yin Huaixi prescribed a mild abortion medicine, no matter how mild it was, it was still cutting off a piece of flesh and blood from the body, so it was bound to be painful.

Zhou Laoer was so heartbroken that he stretched out his hand and let his wife bite it.

After working for nearly an hour, everything that needed to be dealt with was finally done. Yin Huaixi left the Zhou family after leaving all the subsequent medicines.

Xu Ming fell into a deep sleep with a pale face. Zhou Laoer couldn't stop his children from crying, so he let them into the house to take a look.

When the two little kids saw their mother like that, their faces turned pale and they didn’t dare to cry anymore.

Aunt Yin is so scary, her needle is so long, it made me faint...

Yin Huaixi didn't even know that she had suddenly become the most feared person in the hearts of the Zhou family's children.

"Mother, Uncle Anan just sent a lot of herbs and snake meat. I don't dare to eat it..."

What Jiang Wan fears most is this kind of soft and slippery animal. She is very afraid of it even if it is dead.

Even though the meat in the basin was all dead meat that had been processed, she still felt uneasy when she looked at it.

However, snake meat soup is really delicious...

Jiang Wan took A Niang to the kitchen. On the table was a wooden basin with seven or eight snakes in it, all of which had been processed.

If Li Xiao hadn't thought about taking too much and not being able to finish it due to the hot weather, he would have put in more.

"Uncle Anan sent too much. The herbs he sent earlier were enough to cover Anan's medical expenses, and he sent more herbs later. He also sent mountain fruits and animal meat in the past two days. Anan doesn't need so much food."

Yin Huaixi was a little worried. That person brought so many herbs, which must be things she wanted very much. It would be too hypocritical to say no.

So she wanted to give money to Uncle Anan, but every time she mentioned giving him money, he ran away faster than anyone else.

The herbs were thrown away, and they couldn't be allowed to rot. Yin Huaixi had no choice but to use them.

"Both uncle and nephew have the same stubborn temper as bulls."

Yin Huaixi checked the snake meat and found that it was all non-venomous. It couldn't be kept in this weather, so she had to cook it later.

She is good at making snake meat soup, but unfortunately she hasn't found any starch here yet, so she can't do the soul step.

"Shall we grill snake meat tonight?"

"Great, great, call my uncle and the others over to grill together. I bought a lot of fish today, so it's a good idea to grill some for a change."

As soon as Jiang Wan mentioned eating, she immediately became cheerful. Looking at the snake meat in the bowl, she didn't think it was so scary anymore.

The mother and daughter were talking in the kitchen when they suddenly heard Baozhu calling them from outside, saying that Lian Yue was here.

Jiang Wan had a feeling that he was here to look for her. Last time they had agreed to go together to see an oyster farm, but she didn't go, so she didn't know what he thought of it.

"Brother Lian Yue, you look so happy, is there any good news?"

Lian Yue nodded and talked about what he had done in the past two days.

After talking to Jiang Wan, he could no longer resist the urge to grow oysters. So once he saw a good spot, he went to the village chief to ask for the price.

The village chief had never rented such an ownerless deserted island, so he went to the city to ask around, which delayed him a little.

When Jiang Wan heard this, she suddenly remembered that Lord Qin had come twice in the past few days. She should have asked for Lian Yue earlier.

It’s still because their relationship is not close enough. If it’s about her cousin and the others, Jiang Wan will remember it without being reminded.

"Then what did the village chief say? How much does it cost per year to rent the island you want?"

Speaking of the price, Lian Yue's smile widened a little.

"The village chief said that the government has stipulated that a deserted island is the same as a wasteland. If it is reclaimed, the rent will be exempted for one year, and the tax will be reduced for one year. From the second year onwards, the rent will be 15 taels per year."

Ten taels of silver was quite expensive for ordinary people living along the coast, and few people would be willing to use this money to rent a deserted island.

"I followed the village chief to the city and signed a two-year contract."

Lian Yue could afford the fifteen taels of silver, as he had saved some money over the years. Although grandma had always been dissatisfied, she was not stubborn and actually supported him in starting a business.

It's just that recently she started complaining to him every day that he spent the money for marrying a wife. She was so angry that she refused to take the medicine, saying that she wanted to save the money, which made people laugh and cry.

"Two years..."

That's enough.

According to Lian Yue, there is already a large area of ​​oysters on the island. If we add the cultivated ones, we can build up a similar scale in less than two years.

Once the supply starts, money will flow into your pocket continuously.

Now, not only do we need oysters, but Lord Qin will also work hard to process them after seeing the huge profits from oysters. The price of oysters will have to increase in the future.

If Lian Yue can survive these one or two years, he is guaranteed to become the second richest family in the village.

As for the richest person, it is of course myself.

Jiang Wan now earns a hundred taels of silver every month. With the income from squid shreds and fish fillets, she earns several dozen taels more, making her a truly wealthy woman.

The jar at home was almost full, and she had to find time to exchange it for banknotes.

"Xiao Wan, you are well-read, so you must know more about oysters than I do. Have you ever seen how to grow them?"

Jiang Wan actually knew this, but not in detail.

"I seem to have seen it in a book before, but it's not complete. I only know that once the oysters are fixed, they will not move. You can use bamboo to make a rack, and then string the oysters together and hang them on it. The ebb and flow of the tide will naturally provide them with food, just like on the reef."

This method has been used by our predecessors for more than 500 years. It can nourish the body, but it is most afraid of typhoons.

A typhoon can make all your efforts go down the drain.

It is impossible to guarantee the property of farmers even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Jiang Wan still mentioned it casually so that Lian Yue could be mentally prepared.

"I understand all this. Typhoons are God's will. If you encounter one, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."

However, there have been two typhoons on the island this year. If there is another typhoon, it will most likely go to other places along the coast. There are not many typhoons on the island in a year.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Wan. What you said is very helpful to me and can help me avoid many detours."

Lian Yue sincerely thanked the twelve-year-old girl.

Only he understood how much influence this little girl had on him. It was no exaggeration to say that it changed his life.

From then on he stopped going out to sea to fish. He first prepared the racks for his oysters.

Get ready early so you can go to the island and start fixing it in the next few days.

Thinking about the oysters all over the island, Lian Yue was already getting excited.
