Chapter 100 Catching Delicious Armored Bugs
The next day.
Jiusu went to Chenjia Village. The factory was running steadily. With Qian Junjie watching over it, she felt relieved.
During the lunch break, Qian Junjie was chatting with a group of men, and laughter could be heard everywhere. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, did not disturb them, and went to find the village chief.
"Uncle Chen, are you home?"
"Hey! I'm here." Village Chief Chen was looking at the account book with a worried look on his face. "It's Jiusu. I heard that you went to Lingcheng and helped Detective Yang solve the case. This matter has spread everywhere. Oh, by the way, are you looking for me about the factory?"
Jiusu looked at the food statistics on the table and asked.
"Have we sold the grain in our village?"
Village Chief Chen motioned her to sit down, put his arms on the table, and sighed, "Not yet. Even the villages that usually have good harvests and good grain haven't sold any of it yet. I'm afraid it will all rot at home this year."
In a moment, the short words were full of power.
"I took them all."
"Hey, you don't have to say..." Suddenly, Village Chief Chen's voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face was visibly magnified and shocked. "You, you collected it all? But what do you need so much food for?"
Jiusu said: "Use it to make wine. I have a connection now and I can help you."
Village Chief Chen said excitedly, "This, this is great, Jiusu. Look, the grain in our village is also good, the quality is good, and it's close to the factory, which saves transportation costs. As for the price, you can give it to me. I'll talk to everyone there."
Jiusu had already investigated the price of grain.
She said, "The price won't be low. I won't cheat anyone, but I won't cheat my fellow villagers. But I'm sure some people will be jealous of my wealth. I'm far away from here, so I'll ask the village chief to keep an eye on me. There's one more thing I want to ask Uncle Chen: does our village have a boat?"
Hearing this, Village Chief Chen understood that Jiusu had noticed the lake in front of the village.
"Yes, but I haven't used it for many years."
"There are fish in the lake, why don't the villagers fish? This should be a considerable profit." Jiusu was curious. Live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, live by the water, live by the water. Chen Zhao used to be a hunter, but she didn't seem to see anyone fishing.
Village Chief Chen shook his head, as if a sore spot had been touched. He recalled, "Our village used to be a famous fishing village. In fact, this lake is very wide, connecting other lakes and converging with the sea. Last year, a monster appeared in the lake. It had a red body and two large claws. Someone fell into the lake and was covered in wounds. If he wasn't a good swimmer, he probably wouldn't have been able to get back."
The image of spicy lobster appeared in Jiusu's mind.
She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, borrowed a piece of paper, and drew a simple picture of a crayfish. "Uncle Chen, does it look like this?"
"Hey, it really looks like it, but your drawing is too cute. It's actually very ferocious." Village chief Chen touched his chin, thought of the insect in armor, and shook his head helplessly. He was also unwilling to give up the lake.
Can……
Human life always matters.
Jiusu was extremely excited. She missed the feeling of eating crayfish. She asked the village chief for the address of the family who had a boat. As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw a man wiping the oars with care.
The woman stood in the yard, her hands on her hips, cursing, "Wipe, wipe, wipe! All you do is wipe! Jiusu has opened a factory. Go and earn some money. It's much better than staying here. I'm telling you, if you don't go, I'll burn this boat of yours!"
The man lowered his head and ignored it.
The woman was so angry that she rushed forward to grab the oar and said, "I'm going to burn it now!"
"Don't move!" the man cried and shouted, "I'm going to work, I'm going to make money, don't burn the boat, this is my life, if I lose the boat, I'll die!"
The woman's eyes instantly turned red. She grabbed the man's collar and collapsed, "Boss, don't think about the boat anymore. For me and our son, make some money, okay? The main thing is that we can't go fishing now. Otherwise, how could I possibly support you?"
He understands, he understands everything.
The man looked at the oar in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Jiusu bent her fingers and knocked on the gate. Seeing two people looking over, she took the initiative to say, "Hello, can I borrow the boat? I'll let you be the boatman. Oh, I won't ride for free, I'll pay you."
She took out three copper coins and placed them in the woman's hand.
The woman paused, a look of joy on her face, but she still asked worriedly, "It's Jiusu, are you taking the boat to the lake? What are you going to do in the lake? There are pests in the lake, it's very dangerous."
Jiusu explained simply.
"I need to go to the lake for something, and I might need to borrow your fishing net. Is that okay?"
"Sure." The man nodded, glanced at the five copper coins calmly, and silently packed up the boat, throwing the fishing nets and oars into the boat. He spoke, but unexpectedly his voice was hoarse and a little obscure. "Ayun, help me move the boat to the lake?"
The woman called Ayun was obviously stunned.
"Hey! Here I come!" She put the copper coins in her pocket, wiped her tears, and smiled as she lifted the bow of the boat. "Sister Jiusu, can you help me lock the door?"
Jiusu nodded, infected by their emotions, "Okay!"
When a favorite career or thing has to stop due to irresistible factors, should you change to another one or immerse yourself in the past and refuse to move forward? It would be a pity to give it up, but you cannot have it anymore.
The two of them carried the boat happily.
Ayun suddenly missed the old days. When the head of the family went fishing, she would prepare dinner and wait for him at home. After they had their fill, they would sort out the fishing nets together. Those days of laughter and joy were unforgettable.
She stood on the shore, her hands clenched tightly, looking at the two of them worriedly.
If you fall, be ready to call for help at any time.
Chen Nianhai asked, "Sister, are you looking for something on the lake? Or are you trying to catch fish? However, I'm afraid the lake bottom has been eaten by pests."
Jiusu shook her head. Lobsters eat fish, but only small fish. There must be big fish. She knelt on the boat and looked down. She found that there were densely packed aquatic creatures. How delicious the seafood must be.
But it took two full years to raise it.
She said, "The fish isn't fresh. I want the pests you mentioned."
"What?" Chen Nianhai asked in confusion. "That thing is hard and bad. It's inedible, and it's not something a little girl like you can handle. I'll return the five copper coins to you, and we can go back."
He stood at the bow of the boat, looking out at the lake, and wanted to go back reluctantly.
Jiusu straightened up, raised his hand and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, let's not go back yet. Brother Dahai, please do me a favor. I really need this thing. Can you help me fish it out and take a look?"
After a moment, he said, "Okay." He reluctantly put the pole into the lake and easily scooped up a small net bag. "Look, sister, this is it. It's bright red and looks festive, but it hurts if it hits you."
Jiusu patted the wooden barrel and said, "Brother Dahai, pour it here."
Looking at the crayfish arching their bodies, she could already smell the fragrance.
Chen Nianhai didn't understand, but seeing that she liked it, he fished out another bag, "Sister, what do you want these things for? Hey, be careful, what's going on? Why didn't it attack you when you took it?"
Jiusu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "This requires some skills. The wind is picking up, let's leave the lake first."
She threw the crayfish into the bucket.
How many kilograms does this weigh? About six or seven kilograms, maybe?
