Chapter 336
After returning home, Hua Xiali immediately took out two wooden basins, placed the snails and crayfish separately, and then poured well water into the basins to feed them so that they could spit out the dirt in their bodies.
Huo Qian never slept with adults since he was a child. Instead, he slept in a separate small bed because they were afraid that he would be accidentally crushed. Although they don’t have separate rooms now, Huo Qian still sleeps alone.
After Huo Qian fell asleep, Hua Xiali leaned on Huo Beixi's chest and said, "I plan to exchange rice fields with others, that is, to replace the rice fields in front of the house with ours."
"Are there any new plans?" Huo Beixi asked with amusement. She always had some weird ideas in her mind, and he was not as good as her.
Now every household in Qinglong Village is planting sugarcane. Every summer and autumn, the whole Qinglong Village seems to be shrouded in a green gauze tent, because sugarcane is everywhere.
Nowadays, everyone makes a lot of money by growing wood ear mushrooms and sugarcane. Many families in the village have built houses and bought motorcycles.
Of course, we can’t just look at the good side, there is also a bad side. There are also many families who get divorced, find mistresses, and find stepmothers for their children just because they make money...
You can't interfere in other people's affairs, just take care of your own affairs. However, whenever someone comes to the brigade to ask for a divorce, the brigade will try to be fair and just, divide the property equally, and the party who made the mistake must compensate the other party.
There was originally this clause in Hua Xiali's employment contract. If anyone behaved improperly, whether she discovered it or not, as long as she heard some rumors, she would investigate the matter. If the matter was true, she would fire the person directly. Don't even think about pension or housing. Wouldn't it be better to leave this job opportunity to someone who needed it more?
Because of Hua Tiefeng's actions, the four of them, mother and daughter, had to live through so many years of hardship. In addition, her life with Wang Liang was completely ruined. So what she hated most was the scumbag who was unfaithful to his marriage and family. How could she let the scumbag get a penny from her?
Hua Xiali smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is a new plan, but it is not yet mature. I will see if I can replace the rice fields before the beginning of next spring, so that it will not affect everyone's farming after the beginning of spring."
Hua Xiali looked up at Huo Beixi and said, "You don't have to worry about these little things. Just do your job well."
Huo Beixi no longer works in Qinglong Village, but works in the town, so it is useless to go to Huo Beixi for this matter. She has to find the owner of the rice field and negotiate with him about exchanging the rice fields.
Everyone's rice fields were scattered everywhere and not concentrated. If she wanted a concentrated rice field, she had to exchange a few rice fields with others. Otherwise, the rice fields would be too scattered, which would not be conducive to her new plan.
In the following nights, Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi took Huo Qian out to catch crayfish. It was really easy to catch crayfish on summer nights because all the crayfish were out, either on the grass or in the mud.
After accumulating over the past few days, several pots of crayfish have been accumulated. Hua Xiali called Hua Chunli, Hua Qiuli and Hua's mother over and taught them how to handle the crayfish.
Mother Hua frowned. "This thing is all shells, and there's no meat. How can it be delicious?"
"Mom, we'll know whether it tastes good or not once I cook it, right?" Hua Xiali smiled helplessly. She thought the people here were really weird. They wouldn't eat this, and they wouldn't eat that.
On summer evenings, fish, loaches and eels in the water are easy to catch, but no one catches them. By the time they become popular outside, it is too late for them to catch them.
It took several hours for several people to clean the crayfish. Everyone carried the crayfish into the kitchen, and Hua Xiali made a pot of garlic sauce for everyone to try. Since Huo Beixi was not good at spicy food, he made the garlic sauce first.
Hua Xiali asked everyone to peel the meat from the lobster tail directly. She picked the big ones, so the meat was very full and firm, and tasted very chewy.
"It's delicious!" After Hua's mother tasted one, her eyes lit up. She really didn't expect that this thing was so delicious. When she was farming in the past, she often saw this thing, but had never caught it.
"It's delicious. I didn't expect it to be so delicious." Hua Qiuli nodded repeatedly.
Seeing everyone eating so happily, Hua Xiali also started to smile. It was because of her experience in that life, otherwise she would not have known that this thing was delicious. If she had not gone into the city, she really would not have known that this thing was both edible and delicious.
Afterwards, Hua Xiali cooked the remaining lobsters in pots, gave a large basin each to his third and fourth uncles, and also taught them how to eat it.
Later, Hua Xiali called all the daughters of the families living in front of her house in the rice fields and taught them how to make spicy field snails, spicy snails, garlic crayfish, spicy crayfish... and other delicacies suitable for setting up stalls in the night market. With a skill in hand, one does not have to worry about anything in his life.
After all, these things are very popular at night markets and will always be particularly popular.
As long as they learn how to do it and pay attention to hygiene and taste, they can definitely become wealthy, if not super rich, and even be able to buy a few houses!
Hua Xiali also took them to the wholesale market to select packaging boxes, packaging bags, seasonings and other things. She taught them from the first step to the last step. As for whether they would do it in the future, that was their own business. Anyway, she had taught them this way of making money that did not require much capital.
Then I talked to them about replacing the rice fields. I had already taught them how to make money, so they naturally agreed. So there was no need to wait until the winter vacation. It was a good opportunity to replace the rice fields now, because now is the time to plow the fields and plant late rice. After replacing the rice fields, I could just go straight to the new ones and plant.
Then Hua Xiali exchanged the few acres of rice fields in front. Everyone also got the certificate in the village. Hua Xiali first hired people to plow the fields and plant the late rice seedlings. Then he found someone to buy bricks, and then built a one-and-a-half-meter-high wall on the ridge of the rice field, enclosing all the acres of rice fields.
Although all the rice fields were enclosed, they were not transformed into one rice field. Instead, they were kept as they were, with the ridges being raised and widened.
Afterwards, he raised freshwater clams, snails, crayfish and fish in two rice fields each. In this way, he started a farming business where he planted rice and raised aquatic products, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Xiaozhi has now grown into a handsome young man who is almost eighteen years old. He has been the most handsome boy in the brothel since he was a child. Now that he has grown up, he has become even more handsome and is no less handsome than a movie star.
