Chapter 68 Fishing

It was easy for villagers to eat seafood, but it was difficult to eat meat. They either had to hunt in the mountains or go to the city to buy it.

Because of the typhoon, there are not many pigs raised on the coast, so the price of pork has always been a bit expensive. Add to that the two cents it costs to go into the city, and the price of meat is even more distressing.

The Zhou family actually bought so much meat at once and sent it over, as well as wine and sugar. This thank-you gift was one of the most generous in the village.

Jiang Wan pulled her cousin back to the kitchen and sighed.

"What happened to my cousin?"

"They'll start pushing and shoving again soon."

In the end, something will definitely remain, and the relationship will become closer. It's a bit of a weird social behavior.

Jiang Wan suddenly remembered what Xiaoman and the others had said to her today. Now that she was at home, she could tentatively ask.

After the two people in the yard pushed and shoved each other for a long time, Yin Huaixi finally accepted the things. However, he only accepted a piece of lean meat and sugar wine, and did not want the fat meat.

The Zhou family's conditions are not as good as the Yin family's, and we have known each other for many years, so it's enough to just give them a little as a token of our appreciation.

Jiang Wan was just about to go over and find an opportunity to ask a few questions, but someone else came home and she suddenly lost the chance.

Because Aunt Xu was very tactful and took the basket and left.

"Doctor Yin, my father has finished drinking the three-day supply of medicine. It is really effective!"

Lian Yong excitedly rolled up his father's trouser legs, revealing his knees which were still a little red and swollen but much better than before when they were swollen and shiny.

Yin Huaixi nodded and asked Ayong's father, "Uncle, how do you feel about your knee now?"

"It's much better now! It doesn't hurt at all if I don't move, but it does itch sometimes, and I feel a chill, soreness, and swelling when I sleep at night."

"That's okay. I'll give you a hot compress with sand later and it will feel much better."

Yin Huaixi sprained his ankle and couldn't move much, but there was ready-made labor in front of him, so he might as well use it.

"Lian Yong, come to the kitchen and I'll teach you. This way, when you go back, you can give your father hot compresses every day."

“Okay, okay!”

Lian Yong, a tall and strong man, was now as obedient as the elementary school kid in his previous life and did whatever he was told to do.

When Jiang Wan turned her head, she could almost see countless stars in her cousin's eyes.

"Aunt is so awesome!"

"Well... Actually, you can do the same, cousin."

Being a teacher is so easy.

Yin Ning didn't understand and turned around to look at his cousin in confusion.

"If you want to teach students, you can be so majestic. There are so many little girls in the village who want to learn calligraphy. Or if you want, you can teach them embroidery. I guarantee that they will be as obedient as quails in front of you."

Jiang Wan's casual words made Yin Ning's eyes light up.

"Yes! I can teach them how to embroider!"

Ever since the last time he heard those girls talking at the riverside, Yin Ning had kept it in his mind and always wanted to do something for the girls here.

It is not feasible to teach them to understand. They have no problem with it, but most of their families will not agree.

Because everyone believes that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

Even in Kyoto, many of the ladies she knew could not read. Even if they could read, it was only for the purpose of better studying books such as "Nu Yi" and "Four Books for Women".

Her cousin's words just now reminded her that she didn't need to teach them how to read. She could just teach the girls embroidery, a craft that could make money. She thought their families wouldn't object, right?

"Cousin, how many people would come if I taught the girls embroidery in the village?"

"This..."

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and replied, "I think all the girls in the village would want to learn it."

My cousin's embroidery is not ordinary embroidery. If she really learns it, she can earn money with her own hands no matter where she goes as long as she has a needle and thread.

Even if you only learn 50% or 60%, you can still make a living.

Moreover, embroidery only requires sitting at home, which is easy and not tiring. Apart from being a little strain on the eyes, there are very few disadvantages.

"Cousin, do you really want to teach me?"

Yin Ning nodded and shook his head.

"Not now, let's wait half a year."

The family didn't even have their own house, so the first priority was to earn money to build a house. She also had to work hard to embroider handkerchiefs to save money, so that she could have time to teach the girls in the village when her family had enough money to build a house.

Moreover, half a year is just enough for her to get familiar with the village and get to know the girls there better.

"Cousin, as long as you have a plan in mind, I will support you no matter what you do!"

Jiang Wan's words moved Yin Ning so much that tears were about to flow out. Just when Jiang Wan thought her cousin would give her a loving hug or kiss, she suddenly became excited.

"Then I'll go embroider!"

She needs to make money quickly!

Jiang Wan: “…”

Cousin, you are so hardworking that I look like a salted fish.

Salted Fish Jiang Wan really had nothing to do at the moment, so she took out the fishing rod she had made.

She was going to find a place by the sea to go fishing.

As for fish bait, you can just use the snail meat available at home and put it in a bowl.

"Mom, I'm going out fishing!"

"Go, go, come back soon."

Yin Huaixi didn't even try to stop, which made Yin Huaishan, who was standing beside him, hold back all the words he wanted to say.

Since his sister had no opinion, his opinion didn't seem to matter.

Jiang Wan happily carried the bucket and fishing rod to the beach. She had already thought of the location, right at the junction of the river and the sea, where there was a reef area, just right for fishing.

When the tide is low, the reefs are as high as a small mountain, but when the tide is high, only half of them are left.

Many common marine fish like to play and feed near the reefs. In addition, this is where fresh water and sea water meet, and there is a lot of food flowing down here, so naturally many marine fish gather here.

There are a lot of fish, it just depends on whether they are hooked or not.

Jiang Wan chose a place, took out the bowl from the bucket, filled half a bucket with water and put it there, then pinched the snail meat and hung it on the hook.

Once the fishing rod is cast, the rest depends on fate.
