"Yes, I know."
Ye Jianguo nodded in agreement, noting that quite a few people in the Qingshan Village area are bitten by snakes every year.
Fortunately, the village doctors here are very experienced and have a lot of herbs that can treat snake venom.
The group released all the eels and put them in a bucket to keep them alive. Not long after, Ye Lin and Bai Qianzhou also returned.
Seeing this, Li Chunhua quickly stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Is Ahe alright?"
"It's alright. The old village doctor said the blood was drawn in time. I just need to take some medicine and rest for a couple of days without moving around."
Hearing Ye Lin say that, Li Chunhua immediately felt relieved.
"That's good, that's good. Oh, thank goodness I met you all, otherwise if something had happened, your Aunt Meihua would have cried herself to death!"
Ye Lin nodded in deep agreement. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone went back to sleep.
Bai Qianzhou and Fu Ming went to the new house Ye Lin built to stay in. Fu Wan and Qin Anning were too lazy to go, mainly because Li Chunhua had also prepared a room and the children were already asleep, so the two of them simply made do for the night.
Perhaps because catching eels had taken a lot of mental and physical exertion, Fu Wan slept until the rooster crowed.
Although Ye Jun fenced off a chicken farm, Li Chunhua still kept a few chickens in the yard.
Among them were two hens and two roosters. The two roosters were very dutiful, crowing loudly before dawn.
Li Chunhua always gets up early; she gets up and starts working as soon as it's light.
She made Lili a bowl of milk powder, let her drink it and go back to sleep, and then she picked up an empty basket and ran to the field to help Ye Jun cut pig feed.
Since it wasn't her own home, Fu Wan couldn't fall back asleep after waking up. Plus, Fu Ling and the others had gotten up, so she simply got dressed and went out.
As soon as I came out, I ran into Ye Jianguo cleaning eels in the yard.
Ye Jianguo was taken aback when he saw Fu Wan and the others come out.
"Ah Wan, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I can't sleep. Uncle, is there anything I can do for you?"
Fu Wan rolled up her sleeves, and upon hearing this, Ye Jianguo instructed her:
"Perfect timing! Bring me a bowl, there are so many people today, one bowl of eel won't be enough!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan went to the kitchen and found an enamel plate. She glanced at the eels in the bucket next to her; there were at least ten kilograms of them left.
"Uncle, what are you planning to do with the remaining eels? Sell them at the market?"
Ye Jianguo shook his head, "I won't sell it. I don't have time to go. You can take it back later so your parents can try it too."
"It's rare to find so many."
Looking at the countless eels in the bucket, Fu Wan hesitated for a long time before waving her hand in refusal.
"This is too much! Our family can't possibly eat all of this!"
If I take it back, I don't know how long it will take to clean it up.
"Uncle, you should just sell it. Or I can help you sell it!"
Ye Jianguo was overjoyed upon hearing this, as he had actually been planning to keep half and sell the other half.
After all, no matter how delicious eels are, you can't eat dozens of kilograms at once.
But now there's a lot to do in the fields. Once the rain stops, the weeds in the fields also need to be pulled.
There's still a lot of farm work to be done. Farmers rarely have a day off all year round!
Seeing that Fu Wan said this, Ye Jianguo simply went along with it.
"Alright, you can take it and sell it. But don't give me the money. I didn't catch many. Use the money to buy candy...and meat!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. In the past, when Ye Jianguo went out to sell wild animals, he would always slip them some small change when he came back.
Now that she's all grown up, Ye Jianguo still remembers to buy them candy.
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
The black dog, which had been lying at Ye Jianguo's feet picking up eel entrails to eat, suddenly jumped up and ran outside.
"Woof woof!"
"Big Black, it's me. Don't shout. Is Uncle Jianguo home?"
"at home!"
Ye Jianguo responded, "The gate isn't closed!"
Fu Wan and the others all looked outside, only to find that the person who came was an acquaintance.
"Stone, what brings you here?"
Ye Jianguo was puzzled. Shi Tou was a little embarrassed, especially since Fu Wan and Qin Anning were both looking at him, which made him even more embarrassed.
"Thank you so much for saving my brother last night. These are the eels my brother and I caught over the past few days. My mother asked me to bring them to you for you to eat."
"Please don't be disgusted by it!"
After saying that, he put the bucket of eels in front of Ye Jianguo and was about to run outside.
"Oh, you child..."
Ye Jianguo was cleaning the eels, his hands covered in eel blood.
Just as Shi Tou ran out, he ran into Ye Lin and the others who were carrying pig feed back.
"Hey, Stone, why are you running?"
Ye Lin also heard Ye Jianguo's shout. He stopped the man from entering the courtyard and, seeing the buckets in the yard that didn't belong to his family, Ye Lin immediately understood what was going on.
"Stone, you had more than ten pounds of eels at home, and you just gave them all to us like that?"
Shi Tou was naturally reluctant, but his mother also said that if it weren't for Ye Lin's family and that Comrade Bai from yesterday, his brother would not only have lost his leg, but might have had to treat the whole village to a feast.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it all to you. You saved my brother, so it's only right that I give it to you!"
Ye Lin smiled upon hearing this. He spoke with such sincerity that Fu Wan suddenly had an idea.
She knew a little about Shi Tou's family situation; they were dirt poor. If they sold these eels, the money they earned could probably buy enough cornmeal to feed them for several months.
“Stone, why don’t you sell these eels to us? Then you can help us buy some more eels. Big eels are 1.5 yuan a pound in town, and we’ll buy them for 1.5 yuan a pound too.”
How about I give you two cents a pound as a tip for your trouble?
Upon hearing this, Shi Tou's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Really?"
Fu Wan nodded, and Shi Tou, seeing that she wasn't joking, immediately became excited, "Then you guys wait here, I'll go collect it right now!"
As the stone ran away, Fu Ming was puzzled.
"Ah Wan, why do you need so many eels? We can't possibly eat them all..."
He scratched his head, then suddenly realized what was happening.
"You want to resell eels?"
Fu Wan laughed and explained to the crowd who were still in a daze.
"We can't eat all these eels at home. We have a car, so transportation is convenient. We can take these eels with us when we go back!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming slapped his thigh in exasperation. "Oh dear, how come I didn't remember that!"
Eels that sell for 1.5 or 1.3 yuan in the village, would sell for 2 or 3 yuan if sent to the county.
Fu Ming's eyes lit up as he looked at the eels. There were already more than 20 jin of eels here, and they could easily sell for more than ten yuan each.
After deducting costs, you should make at least half the profit.
If it weighs 100 jin, wouldn't it cost tens of yuan?
This is like money falling from the sky!
Fu Wan shook her head at Fu Ming's appearance, while Qin Anning couldn't bear to look at him. Sigh, is it too late for her to find someone else now?
In just one hour, Shi Tou came running over, panting, carrying two buckets.
"Ah... Ah Lin's cousin, I bought forty-two catties, do you still want them?"
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated by the nonsensical nickname.
"My name is Fu Wan, you can call me Sister Wan. I'll take as many as you want, as long as they're not dead."
Upon hearing this, Stone's eyes lit up again.
"Wait a minute, I'll go collect it!"
