When the three of them returned home, Ling Jinyue was already waiting at the door with a few buckets of water beside them.
Meng Qidi hurried over. She probably had already brought the fish fry mentioned earlier.
"You're finally back. I've got the fish. What are you going to do with it?" Ling Jinyue asked while cracking pumpkin seeds.
She just went to take a look at the pond in front where Meng Qidi had been working. It was clean, but too clean.
There is an old saying that there are no fish in clear water. Can such clean water really raise fish?
"The other basket contains lotus seeds?" Meng Qidi glanced at the other basket and walked towards the waterwheel.
She turned off the waterwheel these days and did not drain water from the fish pond below. She only drained half a bucket of Yuquan water, including the water for the two fish soups above.
The purpose is to use it to cultivate the silt in the fish pond. In this way, she won't have to worry about stagnant water or not being able to raise fish in the future.
Ling Xiao hurried over, "Let me do it."
"Remember to turn down the water."
Ling Xiao pushed the waterwheel away, and Meng Qidi didn't go over. She picked up the bucket of fish fry and walked down to the pond.
Ling Jinyue hurried over and said, "Just put it in like this? No skills required? Why don't you ask me what to pay attention to with this thing?"
When she went to pick up the goods, the other party told her a lot of things to pay attention to.
"You can speak now." Meng Qidi had already reached the pond with a bucket.
The two ponds in front were full of vitality. In just half a month, the ponds were filled with pink and green.
After using Yuquan water, most lotus flowers are in bloom, especially recently when I used Yuquan water to cultivate the soil, many of them have withered.
If she didn't want to attract attention, she wouldn't want to fill these three fish ponds with water. How could the fish ponds fed with Yuquan water be bad?
"I'm telling you, fish are also afraid of pests. However, our fish pond is clean to the bottom, so there are probably no pests. The pond above can support fish, so the pond below should also be able to support fish..."
Ling Jinyue has already regarded this fish pond as her own. She feels particularly proud when she thinks that she has witnessed the growth of this fish pond.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Meng Qidi put down the bucket and went to drain water into the two fish ponds above.
Glancing at the water flow Ling Xiao released, she saw that it was not very strong, so she estimated and pulled out two plugs.
The plugs of the two fish ponds have been pulled out, and water is flowing into the lower pond continuously. The lower pond originally had little water, and now it is estimated that it will take two or three days for the water level to reach the outlet...
When the pond water containing the Jade Spring Water overflows, the water downstream will all benefit. I hope it is not too obvious, and I also hope that the effect of the Jade Spring Water will be almost consumed in the next few days.
Pour two buckets of fish fry into a deeper water area, and the dying fish fry will swim happily the moment they enter the water...
Ling Jinyue, who was watching intently from the side, had no doubts. "What about the lotus seedlings? Do you need my help?"
Brother Xiao and Auntie can't help her, so I'll just do it reluctantly and take some effort to help her.
"Throw the lotus seedlings down." Meng Qidi paused, then quickly stood up and walked towards the waterwheel.
Yes, you can’t add water yet, otherwise the lotus seedlings won’t be able to take root…
After the waterwheel was turned off, although there was still water flowing downstream in the pond, it was not much and had little impact.
As for the fish fry, as long as the water does not dry up and there is Yuquan water, they will not die.
"Why did you turn it off?" Ling Jinyue was already obediently throwing the lotus root seedlings.
"The lotus seedlings have not yet taken root, so we can't put too much water in them." These lotus seedlings have not been soaked in Yuquan water, so they cannot be compared with the previous two fish ponds.
“Will this little fish die?”
"Won't."
Meng Qidi grabbed a handful of lotus seedlings and threw them down, talking nonsense in a serious tone, "The fish are too small to be put into too much water, just like children are too young, we can't let them go out to play."
Before Meng Qidi could even utter her insecurity, Ling Jinyue suddenly realized, "Will get lost? Right?"
Meng Qidi twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded against her conscience.
"You are usually free when you are not working?"
"Ah, there's nothing to do. My mom said girls should be more delicate."
Meng Qidi threw another handful of lotus seedlings, "Do you want to make some pocket money?"
Ling Jinyue's eyes lit up, "You promised to help me make money?"
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the patrol?"
Ling Jinyue smiled proudly, "As long as I run fast, no one can catch up with my patrol team."
Meng Qidi sneered and said, "Have you ever run?"
"The patrol team in the town actually turned a blind eye. Otherwise, how do you think the people in our village would survive?"
Meng Qidi was speechless. Well, it turns out that every place has its own way of survival...
"So, sister-in-law, what are you going to do with me? Make steamed buns? I told you in advance that you are not allowed to look down on me. I am not good at making steamed buns. How about selling and eating them?"
Meng Qidi pointed at the silk scarf on her hair and said, "I'll give you 30 cents for this silk scarf. How much do you earn if you sell it for?"
Ling Jinyue blinked, "How many do you have?"
She actually noticed the scarf on Meng Qidi's head when she came back, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Was it a scarf? She thought it was a headband...
"Not much. I also have some hairpins and pens. I'll buy them all for you. How about that?"
She had originally planned to sell them when she had time, and she hadn't expected Ling Jinyue to be so attentive that she actually got the lotus root and fish fry for her.
Ling Jinyue hesitated at this moment, "Don't you make money? How about we do it together? I sell it and we split the money equally?"
Meng Qidi chuckled, "No need. If I say I'm giving it to you, it's yours. After you sell them, just give me the book. When we have dinner later, give me the bill for the fish and lotus seedlings, and I'll give you the money."
Ling Jinyue almost jumped up, "No, no, this won't cost much. If you want to buy those scarves for me, you are not allowed to ask me for money!"
