Zhao Jun asked several key questions about fish farming in fish ponds based on his memory.
"Do you know what fish are usually fed?"
"Well, basically we feed them some bran, earthworms, shrimps and stuff like that."
Zhao Jun asked questions while secretly paying attention to the man's expression.
During the interview, she not only looks at the professional background but more importantly, she looks at the person.
The man opposite looked quite gentle and shy when he first came in, but he looked extremely happy when he talked about fish.
Without realizing it, my voices became much louder.
Zhao Jun could tell that this was someone who understood fish and liked dealing with fish.
"Rugui, I'm going to dig a pond for you to raise fish. What issues do you think you should pay attention to?"
"Well, I've secretly thought about this before."
When the man said this, he glanced at his wife guiltily.
Before, his wife was the one who couldn't stand him going fishing every day, but this time she didn't react much.
The man spoke boldly again.
"I've always thought that if I were to raise fish, the first thing I would have to do is ensure the water quality. If you dig an artificial pond and the fish stay there for a long time, then it's definitely not going to work if the water isn't cleaned up."
The man talked freely.
"And then there has to be someone watching over them at all times, that goes without saying."
"Then the important thing is the fish food. You have to find delicious fish food to feed them. That's basically it."
After saying this, the man became shy again and looked at Zhao Jun carefully.
"Sir, I don't know if my man is any good, but he really knows how to fish. He goes fishing before dawn every day and comes back in the evening. Everyone in the neighborhood knows him."
After listening to them, the elder sister continued to promote her products enthusiastically.
"Okay, after interviewing so many people, you are pretty good."
Zhao Jun said this sincerely. Among the people who didn't know much about fish, this big brother was considered to be more knowledgeable.
There is another reason. Zhao Jun likes this generous elder sister very much and is willing to give them a chance.
"Well, come to the Neishi Mansion tomorrow morning and I'll talk to you about what we need to do."
"Oh, that's what happened. Your Excellency, thank you so much."
The woman was so happy that she pulled her man and kept thanking him.
"It's okay, go back first and come back tomorrow morning."
Zhao Jun waved his hand and sent the couple away.
She could still hear the older sister's happy voice from a distance.
"You said your fishing was not in vain. From now on, I won't stop you from fishing. Come on, go home quickly and I will make you fish soup, haha."
Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh.
This is the ordinary happiness of ordinary people.
The next day, as soon as Zhao Jun arrived at the Nei Shi Mansion, he saw the couple waiting there early.
"You're here so early." Zhao Jun asked with a sidelong glance.
"No, no, we are waiting for the adults' instructions."
The eldest sister said with the same smile as always.
"Okay, come in and sit down, I'll tell you in detail."
Zhao Jun led them into his house.
"I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
"This is my man Qi Min, and I am Qi Wangshi."
"Sir, my man is not very good at speaking, so..."
The woman spoke carelessly and embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I like communicating with people like my elder sister. Your Qi Wangshi takes your husband's surname, right? What's your real name? I'm more accustomed to calling people by their real names."
Zhao Jun knew that most women now called her that, but when she looked at this generous elder sister, she felt that she really shouldn't call her that.
"Oh, so, sir, my real name is Wang Ni. I almost forgot it after not mentioning it for so many years." The eldest sister replied with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll tell you first."
Zhao Jun thought about it and started talking about business.
"This time I plan to dig a few large fish ponds near the Weishui River specifically for aquaculture, so I'm looking for people who know fish."
"At the beginning, you don't need to do anything. I will send someone to dig the fish pond first. Qi Min, you should first study the fish food. We will need a lot of it later. Then you have to find a way to get the fish fry. This is what you have to do."
"Is there a problem?" She looked at the man beside her.
"No problem. I'll discuss it with my fellow fish lovers and make sure it's done." The man answered quickly this time.
"Also, I have a small question. How are you going to solve the problem of changing the water when you dig the fish pond?" He was obviously very concerned when talking about fish farming.
"I'll discuss this with the workers while it's being built. You can come and see if you're interested."
"Okay, sir, then I have no problem."
Zhao Jun continued.
"Because the fish pond is initially planned to be built on the banks of the Wei River, several residences will also be built there. We will need to hire someone to look after it. You may need to stay there permanently in the future, so be prepared."
"That's no problem."
Wang Ni agreed immediately. After all, her husband's fishing was almost like living by the river.
"Finally, I want to tell you that I originally built this fish pond to benefit the people. So although this fish pond is funded by the court, I may eventually hand it over to you to manage, so you must study hard."
Both the couple were shocked by her words.
What does it mean to let them manage it?
Am I not just a fish farmer working part-time?
"Hey, sir, what you mean is that we will be in charge from now on?" Wang Ni couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
"You've been working alongside me from the beginning. If I don't have time to run the fish pond, I'll have to hand it over to someone else. When the time comes, I'll definitely have to choose someone. Don't you have the best chance?"
Zhao Jun didn't say anything definite, so the carrot had to be kept hanging.
"Really, sir? Well, then we will work hard."
Wang Ni's eyes were red with excitement, and Qi Min looked uneasy too.
"But let me put this on hold. If you continue to work with me and still don't do a good job, I will definitely replace you. And even if I hand it over to you in the end, the court will have to send someone to supervise you. Don't try to get away with it."
"No, no, we definitely won't."
Wang Ni and Qi Min nodded vigorously, their hearts filled with excitement and they dared not slack off at all.
"Okay, that's it for now. Tomorrow I'll take people to the riverbank to start construction. If you want to go and see, go ahead. Also, Qi Min's fish food and fry are the most important, so you have to pay attention."
Zhao Jun scolded them a few more times and then sent them out.
The two of them looked even happier today than they did yesterday.
"Oh, hurry up, I'll make you a bowl of fish soup when we get home at noon. You have to work hard next time, or I won't let you go."
The woman's voice gradually faded away. What a tiger wife and cat husband.
Zhao Jun shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She had to find the Chief Architect Liang Shaofu to talk about starting construction tomorrow.
Oh, it’s really busy, but she enjoys the beauty of being busy.
