Chapter 177 Jinjiang Exclusive
Barrage:
[Damn! This price difference makes me want to crawl across the screen!]
Huge profits, huge profits!
[I work like a slave and only earn a few thousand star coins every month, but the anchor can make tens of millions with just a wave of his hand. Who broke my defense? I won’t tell you! QAQ!]
If they could earn this much every day, wouldn't the streamer soon have enough points to buy a battleship?!
[First of all, it's impossible for the anchor to go winter fishing every day.]
[There are other things to do in the village. We can't just eat fish, right? No more hunting? No more fruit trees?]
[But making 400 to 500 million during the entire extreme cold season shouldn't be a problem, right?]
[Is the anchor in need of a son? One who's been to college, doesn't have any special abilities, and can eat.]
[Dad! Dad, please look at me! I'm your long-lost baby! (Image: hoarse)]
…
Lu Xuan ignored the antics of the Cyber Sons in the live broadcast room.
The fish that the villagers exchange for nutrients only account for one-third or half of the total catch. The rest, except for some particularly delicious ones that are kept for daily cooking, have to be processed.
Every household has thousands of kilograms of fish to process, and the manpower is simply unable to handle it, so the villagers naturally thought of hiring people.
Huo Tiankuo was stunned when he heard Lu Xuan's message again and learned his purpose. He asked in a lost voice, "How many people do you want to hire?"
Lu Xuan said: "Three hundred."
Huo Tiankuo was shocked and asked, "Why do you need so many people?"
Lu Xuan said, "The village has just received a batch of supplies, and everyone has a lot to process, but we're short on manpower. Each household in the village will hire two or three people, and the remaining half will work for me."
Huo Tiankuo was still a little dazed.
He knew that the female relatives had helped Lu Xuan process tens of thousands of kilograms of supplies in three days.
Fifty people have already handled so much, and this time they need three hundred people directly. How much supplies can they get?
Huo Tiankuo felt dizzy after just a quick calculation.
Lu Xuan continued, "We have a lot of supplies to process this time, and the task is heavy. In addition to female workers, men are also needed. The wages are two five-jin fresh fish per day."
Huo Tiankuo took a breath again.
If each person is paid ten kilograms of fish, doesn't that mean Lu Xuan has to pay out more than a thousand kilograms of wages in a day?
It seems that Lu Xuan, or the entire Yunlu Village, has made a fortune.
Huo Tiankuo couldn't help but ask, "Can I go and take a look together?"
Lu Xuan: "Okay."
·
After being away for almost ten days, Huo Tiankuo came to Yunlu Village again and found that there was a large shed outside the village.
The shed was filled with plastic boxes filled with large, frozen fish. A casual glance would reveal hundreds of boxes.
When the families in the village saw people coming, they rushed over to pick them out.
"Come on, my family is big and needs a lot of people. Two men and two women, and the stronger ones will be given priority. In addition to the fish, I can also give you some salt and nutrients as wages."
"My family only wants one boy and one girl, and I can give you a little more sugar for your wages."
"My family wants three."
Once each family stated their conditions, Huo Tiankuo didn't need to say anything, and the disaster victims who followed them excitedly followed them.
In a moment, half of the three hundred people were taken away, and the rest were taken by Lu Xuan to the area where his family's supplies were stored, which was also the largest area.
The female workers who had been here last time were shocked to see that the materials they had to process were still fish. After asking Lu Xuan for instructions, they skillfully found a place to sit down and started working with the people who were here for the first time.
The fish species in the ice lake are mainly grass carp, carp, crucian carp and bighead carp, also known as bighead carp.
Because they are all caught in one fish nest, there is no need to classify them separately. At most, fish of different sizes need to be grouped together.
The men are then responsible for removing the scales and cleaning the internal organs, while the women workers clean the fish and then process them.
Small fish can be fried into crispy fish snacks or fish paste, large fish can be made into fish balls and fish floss, and there is also the fish noodles that Lu Xuan had wanted to try before.
To be precise, it is actually fish soup.
The method is similar to that of mixed fish hotpot, except that unlike ordinary mixed fish soup which uses small fish, this fish soup uses big fish.
Boil the fish for half a day to let the fish meat completely rot in the soup, then use this fish soup as the base, sprinkle a little pepper and coriander according to your taste, the taste will be so delicious that it will make your tongue fall off.
In addition to the following, fish soup can also be used to soak rice, or even as a hot drink in winter.
During the production process, in addition to paying attention to the distribution of fish species and the ratio of seasonings, you must also ensure that the fish does not stick to the pan or burn to the bottom.
Lu Xuan didn't intend to make the taste the same as what he had eaten before.
As long as it tastes good, it’s fine.
The audience in the live broadcast room were drooling just by listening to Lu Xuan describe the deliciousness of the fish soup. They stared at the iron pots with different proportions of fish species and seasonings, and frantically urged Lu Xuan to use his time ability to speed up.
Lu Xuan also felt that taking half a day to make a batch was too inefficient, so he waved his hand and shortened the time to half an hour.
Huo Tiankuo was secretly shocked as he watched the fish in the pot melting at an incredible speed.
How much strength does Lu Xuan have that he has yet to show?
The prepared fish soup was quickly served.
The soup below does not need to be filtered additionally. The thicker it is, the more delicious it tastes. Every bite of soup on the noodles is the essence.
If you want to drink the soup on its own with a lighter taste, you can filter it to leave only the clear soup, sprinkle some chopped green onions on it and take a sip. The taste is so delicious that it will make your scalp tingle.
In addition to the milky white fish soup, there is also a light yellow sour soup, which is sour, fragrant and delicious, and the more you drink it, the more appetizing it becomes.
After drinking a lot, Huo Tiankuo felt a little dazed.
How can it be so fresh!!!
For a moment, he even felt that it was worth it for his life to end like this.
Huo Tiankuo sighed: "What a delicacy!"
The audience in the live broadcast room nodded frantically: "This is amazing! In other words, it's amazing!"
[Wow, this is even more delicious than any fish soup I've had here before! It's so good!]
[Host, don't draw the fresh fish, draw this fish soup instead! I want to actually drink this soup in real life!]
[I want one too! If I can't drink this fish soup, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!]
Lu Xuan: “…”
Lu Xuan was also a little surprised after tasting the finished product of each pot.
Perhaps it was because the ginger used was a mutant that was exceptionally effective in removing fishy smells, or perhaps it was because the fish from the Ice Lake were of high enough quality with very little fishy smell, so the quality of the soup made from it was unusually high, without a single failure.
It was a pleasant surprise that a group of laymen could cook a soup that was as good as that of professional chefs.
Before, Lu Xuan was thinking of picking out a few outstanding pots to keep.
Nowadays, no matter what you choose, adults will of course want them all.
Seeing the audience's intense reaction, Lu Xuan said, "Since you want it, I'll give you another round of fish soup in the next two days."
After saying that, he turned around and asked the female workers to replicate the recipe according to the exact ratio of the first batch.
"Make a few hundred pots first."
Female workers: “!”
Huo Tiankuo, who was already drinking his third bowl, exclaimed: "!"
Lu Xuan didn't put away the first batch of fish soup, as the villagers who smelled it had already gathered around.
"Your fish soup is so fragrant! I can't stand the aroma even from across the shed. Give me a bowl!"
"Let me try that sour soup."
"No need for you to serve, I can do it myself."
Lu Xuan noticed that the victims who were working were constantly swallowing their saliva, so he asked them to come over and have a bowl to try.
Soon, the shed was filled with the sound of people slurping soup, as well as the occasional "wooooo" sound, which was a strange sound made by the villagers who were surprised by the deliciousness of the fish soup but were reluctant to let it go.
Not until the big bowl of soup was gulped down did the villagers, including the disaster victims, excitedly praise the soup with all the words they could think of in their lives.
Delicious!
tasty!
Absolutely amazing!
The limited vocabulary is exposed every minute.
But that's not the point.
After praising, the women couldn't wait to ask about the proportions of several pots of fish soup that particularly suited their taste, and happily prepared to make dozens of pots at home to drink slowly.
·
Lu Xuan had 170,000 kilograms of fish catch in his hands. Even if he planned to give another 20,000 kilograms to the audience, he would still have 150,000 kilograms.
With the efficiency of the hired workers, they can only process a maximum of 20,000 kilograms of fish a day.
After the second batch of winter fishing results came out, Lu Xuan and Li Tie discussed it and decided to go winter fishing every five days.
It is impossible to process tens of thousands of kilograms of fish before the next winter fishing season begins, not to mention that there will be the same or even greater harvest next time if nothing unexpected happens.
The price of recycled processed by-products will indeed be a bit higher, but the price can be more than double that of foods whose raw materials and seasonings are all mutated.
The fish has not mutated, only a small amount of mutated seasoning is used, so the price will be directly recovered higher, but the price will be limited. Instead, it is the labor that is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan only kept half for processing and recycled the rest.
The total points increased by tens of millions again.
Audience in the live broadcast room: We are tired of saying the word "envy" ==!
While the hired workers were still busy, Lu Xuan took Huo Tiankuo to a quiet place and asked, "General, are you interested in our fish acquisition channels?"
Huo Tiankuo looked at him in surprise and said, "Of course there is."
Being able to catch hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish in such a short period of time obviously meant that they had discovered a water source with rich resources and a huge scale.
The team he led was heavily in debt, and until now they had only relied on General Lu Xuan to make ends meet.
How could he not be tempted by the chance to get more food?
It’s just that Yunlu Village didn’t mention it, so he didn’t feel comfortable asking about it.
Lu Xuan said, "We discovered a huge icy lake with abundant fish resources. I can lead the way and trade you with fishing nets and other tools to facilitate fishing."
Given the size of the ice lake, even if they fish every day, they still can't eat so many fish. It would be better to achieve common prosperity.
Since the Huo family army has more supplies on hand, doesn’t it have to exchange them for supplies?
In the end, the bulk of the money will still go into his hands and be converted into more points, so there is no loss.
…
Two days later, Lu Xuan brought the Huo family army to the ice lake.
Huo Tiankuo was not sure about their current location before, but after spending some time to check the size of the ice lake, he guessed that this should be the largest freshwater lake of this generation, the Weishui Lake.
Huo Tiankuo said: "There should have been a Shanyang Town around Weishui Lake, and many surrounding villages."
Lu Xuan had previously released a drone to fly around the area, but he didn't see any human habitation, or even any traces of human presence.
The most likely possibility is that the former towns and villages have been buried under the combined impact of the earthquake and floods.
The two of them looked at the deserted snowfield surrounding the icy lake and remained silent for a moment.
However, the disaster had already begun for half a year, and those who needed to adapt had already adapted, so Huo Tiankuo did not worry about it for too long.
Right now, the most important thing is to take the personal soldiers and the disaster victims on winter fishing trip.
The young and strong people in Yunlu Village enthusiastically taught them how to fish in winter, and Lu Xuan also gave them ice picks and fish finders in advance.
Considering that the Huo family army's manpower is not as strong as the strength-enhancing system, Lu Xuan also provided an electric ice drill to help them break the ice.
Once the ice eye is successfully smashed, the rest will be easy.
Throw the fish finder, cast the net, collect the net, and collect the space ring.
Huo Jiajun was initially shocked by the fish finder, but later he was even more astonished when he learned about the magical effects of the space ring.
The first net of fish was effortlessly collected into the space. Huo Tiankuo looked at the mountain of fish in the space, and then thought about the experience of his personal soldiers getting up early and working hard to hunt outside in the past few days.
Huo Tiankuo: "..." So supplies can come so easily?
The victims didn't think too much about it.
They just couldn't help cheering when they saw the catch weighing thousands of kilograms of fish, and they hugged each other and cried with joy.
"We'll never have to go hungry again!"
After paying off the debt for the greenhouse, they not only had rice to eat, but also meat and fish, and their lives were about to get better.
With a good start, the Huo family army no longer needs any guidance from Yunlu Village and can fish on their own.
The hunting team also found an area a little further away that neither group had ever been to and prepared to start their work for the day.
The hunting team was specially fully staffed not only to lead the Huo family army, nor to catch fish, but to collect ice!
A group of people each had a chainsaw. After asking Lu Xuan to help blow away the snow on the ice lake, they started the chainsaw and began cutting the ice.
Each ice cube is cut into a one-meter-long square. When the ice layer is about to fall into the water, it is quickly put into the space, and a one-cubic-meter ice block is obtained.
There is a huge demand for ice during the extremely hot season. Few people in the village have awakened ice-related abilities, and refrigerators consume a lot of energy. With countless free resources in front of them, they must of course collect as much as possible during the extremely cold season.
Before going out, the hunting team specially changed to a larger space, 500 cubic meters for their own use. The original 100 cubic meters were used to store ice cubes, and they filled it up!
During the hottest season next year, you can use a large piece a day to cool down or have a cold drink with crushed ice. It’s a great idea.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at Lu Xuan taking the lead in collecting ice, and then looked at the Huo family army who were busy fishing in the distance, and felt a little anxious.
[Host, are you sure that if the Huo family army also fishes here, the village's harvest won't be reduced?]
[That's right! There are still more than two months of extreme cold season. If we keep fishing like this every day, won't we empty the entire lake?]
Lu Xuan cut off a piece of ice like tofu and asked Lei Yan to put it away. He said casually, "The Huo family army needs to farm and hunt. It's not convenient for them to go out when it's windy and snowy. The frequency of winter fishing may be even lower than that of Yunlu Village. It's impossible for them to fish out all the fish in Weishui Lake."
During the second fishing trip, he specifically used a fish finder to confirm the fish reserves in Weishui Lake, which was almost the same as that of a well-known modern winter fishing lake.
The two groups come five or six times a month. It is already a great achievement if they can get half of it. It is impossible to get it all.
After the extreme cold season, the remaining fish will enter the breeding season, and the lost fish will be replenished in no time.
·
One month into the extreme cold season.
The disaster victims who came to the village to work witnessed Yunlu Village harvesting large amounts of grain and were almost excited to death.
Although I had heard before that the mutant varieties could yield over a thousand kilograms per mu, it was not as credible as seeing it with my own eyes.
When the victims thought about the fact that they would be able to get so much food in the future, their pessimism about the disaster was swept away and they became full of energy.
The first batch of grain was finally harvested, and the total output was slightly higher than the last time, totaling 360,000 jin.
Because Lu Xuan wanted to take away half of it, each family's harvest this time was only more than a thousand kilograms, far less than during the rainy season.
But there have been a lot of fish caught recently, and everyone knows that they will be able to get more food next time and many times thereafter, so no one is disappointed.
Besides, even though the food allocated to each family is small, there are still more than 70,000 kilograms of food in the public supplies.
Exchanging the fish for 1,800 kilograms of fish can make up for it to some extent.
Correspondingly, the amount of fish in the public supply increased again.
Lu Xuan just used nutrients and salt and sugar to exchange these fish for each other, and then made another 20 million profit.
The villagers got more food, the public supplies consumed the fish that everyone had in abundance, Lu Xuan earned points, and the audience got a lot more lottery entries.
Everyone has a bright future, very good and perfect.
…
In the past, every time the village harvested new grain, people would go to the grocery store to spend some money, but this time most families chose to save the grain.
To buy a house.
When first planning to buy a house, some short-sighted families think that buying a two-person safe house is enough.
However, as the three-year plans of the Li and Zhang families and their plans for the third generation were revealed in daily conversations, everyone's goals were raised to a higher level.
The Li family added a house for Li Kangbao on top of the original one.
The Zhang family took the Li family's advice and decided to upgrade the double safe house, making it larger and replacing it with a two-story villa.
Seeing this, other families with average conditions also set their sights on the two-story villa.
It's not right that everyone else is living in a small two-story house while I'm still living in a single-story house? I feel like I'm dwarfed.
Even if it is just to keep up with the crowd and not appear too out of place, you have to buy a small house.
Just imagine how grand it would be if all the families in the village lived in two-story villas!
As for ten thousand kilograms of grain being too much?
What more, what more!
If you can't save this little bit of food in four or five years, you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for buying houses, the audience in the live broadcast room envied the host for the large amount of points he would earn in the future, but was also puzzled.
[Does the anchor not plan to sell the house to the Huo family? ]
[With over 3,000 people, even if only one-tenth of them buy the single-person safe houses, we can still make 300 million.]
Lu Xuan said: "No rush, let them pay off their debts first."
Because the Huo family army has a large number of people, the amount of food each person can get is less than that of Yunlu Village.
It takes a lot of money to eat and exchange for supplies. It is not easy to save three thousand kilograms without paying in installments.
The disaster next year will be different, and Huo Tiankuo may not always stay here with the victims. Instead of buying a house, for the sake of the victims, it is better to let them keep more food.
If you want to earn points, there is no need to focus on this group of disaster victims. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
·
Two days after harvesting the grain, the lotus roots can be harvested.
The water in the lotus pond was not deep, so Lu Xuan did not pump out water specifically. After loosening the silt layer, all the lotus roots were dug out intact with the help of anti-gravity.
The yield of the mutated lotus root is much higher than that of the original species. The yield of lotus root per mu is 3,000 kilograms, and a ten-mu pond can yield 30,000 kilograms.
There are fewer lotus seeds, 500 kilograms per acre, so only 5,000 kilograms were obtained.
Lu Xuan managed the pond himself from beginning to end. In principle, he did not need to share it with the village, but Lu Xuan still handed over 20% of the lotus roots as public goods. If the villagers wanted to eat them, they could ask the village chief to exchange them.
There were too few lotus seeds to hand in. We kept 1,000 kilograms for our own consumption, and the rest were recycled.
The recycling price of lotus seeds is the same as that of ordinary mutant vegetables, only 200 points per kilogram. It is not profitable at all with this amount, it is purely to provide seeds to the Star Alliance.
As for lotus root, I made it into the best pickled lotus root. I kept 5,000 kilograms for myself, gave away 5,000 kilograms in a lottery, and recycled 20,000 kilograms, making a small profit of 6 million.
With several catches of fish, food recovery, and a large amount of gift income from consecutive raffles, Lu Xuan's total points not only returned to the level before building a greenhouse for the Huo family army, but also broke the record by more than 200 million.
As the Huo family army gradually escaped poverty and the disaster victims had more supplies, the exchanges between the two different teams also became more frequent.
