Yunyan went to the place where the tanks were sold and bought two of the largest tanks and one medium-sized tank.
The two large tanks are used to raise loaches, the medium-sized tank is used to pickle pickles, and the one at home should be kept for raising loaches.
After buying the tank, I spent another dollar to have the boss send someone to deliver it to my door.
When they returned to the brigade, it was not yet time to get off work and they didn't meet anyone on the way. The delivery man placed the jar in the location specified by Yun Yan and left.
Yunyan brought in a few bowls placed at the door. These were the bowls that Huzi and the others used to hold loaches yesterday. They probably placed the bowls by the door because they saw that Yunyan was not at home.
Looking at the two large vats in front of her, Yun Yan decided to put her money-making plan on the agenda as soon as possible.
The job of catching loaches was left to children like Hu Zi. After all, these children were the most idle in the village.
After lunch, Yunyan took a nap, then went to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs and look for Hu Zi and the others.
When Hu Zi and the others saw Yun Yan, they happily ran towards her. "Sister Yun! Sister Yun, you're back. We left your bowl at the door. Did you see it?"
Yun Yan happily touched Hu Zi's head and said, "I saw that you also washed the dishes. You are so good."
Hu Zi and the others raised their heads when they were praised.
"Huzi, do you still want to make money?"
When they heard about making money, the little ones rushed to ask, "Sister Yun, are you going to ask us to pick up stones again?"
"This time we're not picking up stones, we're catching loaches."
"Sister Yun, if you like to eat loaches, I can catch them for you every day, for free." Hu Zi said.
"How can that be? This time, I don't want a few pounds of loaches, I want a lot of them. How about this? You catch the loaches and sell them to me. I'll give you ten cents per pound."
"One cent per pound? Sister Yun, are you serious?" Shi Tou couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's real. Not only loaches, but also eels can be delivered. They are all ten cents per pound."
After hearing Yun Yan's words, Hu Zi and the others immediately ran to catch loaches and eels.
Yunyan bought a lot of ginger, garlic and chili peppers from the villagers, as well as beans, cucumbers, green peppers and mizuna.
She planned to pickle the kimchi while the loaches were spitting out mud.
Before going home, I went to the river and picked up a few large stones to use as vegetable weights.
I went to the villagers to exchange ginger, garlic and chili peppers. Just after picking and washing the chili peppers, I heard the voices of Hu Zi and the others.
As soon as the door was opened, Hu Zi couldn't wait: "Sister Yun, look, I caught a lot of loaches and a few big eels."
"Sister Yun, there's me too! And me, I caught a lot too."
Yun Yan looked at the loaches and eels in their buckets and praised them, "You caught so many in one go. You're really amazing."
"Then wait here for me. I'll get the scale out."
Yun Yan turned around and went to the bedroom first, took out some change from the space, and then went to the utility room to get a scale and a basket.
First, I used a scale to weigh the bamboo basket, and then started weighing their loaches and eels starting with Hu Zi.
"Huzi, the total weight of these loaches and eels you have is 6.8 jins, and without the basket, the total weight is 6.3 jins."
"Here, here's sixty-three cents for you. Take it and don't drop it."
Hu Zi happily took the money and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yun, I won't lose it."
Next, Yun Yan weighed the loaches and eels of the other little kids.
After all the calculations were completed, the total amount collected today was 32 kilograms of loaches and eels. If Hu Zi and his friends were the only ones catching loaches, this would not be enough. Yun Yan asked Hu Zi to tell the other children that they could catch loaches and eels together, and she would collect all the loaches and eels she caught.
Hu Zi happily agreed, then left happily with the money he earned from buying loaches and eels.
After Hu Zi and the others left, Yun Yan put all the loaches and eels she had collected into a tank to raise them until they spit out the mud.
Then I started chopping ginger and garlic, which was a time-consuming and laborious task. I kept chopping on the chopping board with a knife, and after an hour and a half, I finally chopped all the ginger and garlic into minced ginger and garlic paste.
Yun Yan rubbed her sore right hand, missing the meat grinder of the 21st century very much.
After making a simple dinner, Yunyan remembered that she hadn't chatted with the aunts and sisters for a while. It would be bad if the aunts and sisters kicked her out of the intelligence team after a long time.
Carrying a bag of melon seeds taken out from the space, Yun Yan walked to the intelligence brigade under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
"Aunties, long time no see, did you miss me?"
"Hey, isn't this Yun Zhiqing? You haven't come to chat with us for a long time."
"I'm busy all the time. Aunties, please don't be angry and ignore me. I brought me some melon seeds."
After saying that, Yun Yan waved the melon seeds in her hand towards them.
"That's why they say Yun Zhiqing is so sensible. Come on, give me some of your melon seeds."
Yunyan distributed some melon seeds from the bag to everyone, then sat down and chatted with them about gossip.
"Yun Zhiqing, my son Shitou came back with fifty cents today, saying you asked him to catch loaches in exchange for it. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely not take advantage of your stones."
"What do you need so many loaches and eels for? They don't taste good and have a fishy, earthy smell."
"Yeah, my Niu Dan also brought back 40 cents today, which gave me a shock."
"Don't worry, aunties and sisters, that's really what I gave them. They earned it themselves."
"Yun Zhiqing, I was just about to ask you, how did you prepare the loach you asked my little Dong to bring back yesterday? Why is it so delicious?"
"Auntie, put the loach in a bucket for two days. Once it spits out the mud in its stomach, the earthy smell will disappear."
"No wonder the loaches I make always have an earthy smell. So this is why. So what should I do next?"
"After the mud is spit out, remove its head and internal organs, and then use salt and flour to clean the sticky stuff and blood on it."
"Then marinate it with seasoning for 20 minutes and then fry it in oil until fragrant. Then stir-fry it with ginger, garlic and chili peppers."
"Oh my god! It's so troublesome and they have to fry it in oil. No wonder it tastes so good."
"Frying it in oil? I can't afford it. I can't afford it. Oil is so expensive."
"Yun Zhiqing, you're really talented. You can even cook such a difficult dish. I'm getting a headache just hearing about it."
"Well, let's not talk about Yun Zhiqing anymore. Have you heard about the incident between the brigade accountant's daughter and that male Zhiqing?"
"What's going on? They've already got their marriage certificate, so what could possibly go wrong?"
"I heard..."
Yunyan chatted with the aunts and sisters for an hour and then went home. After coming back, she took a shower, washed her clothes, and lay on the bed. She thought about the gossip she had just heard and smiled. This was really retribution.
