Because it was too late yesterday, after dinner today, I asked Dabai and Xiaobai to help her look after the chickens and ducks.
I rowed to the village and asked the village chief if there were any missing persons nearby.
As a result, the village chief said that he had not received any calls looking for anyone.
Xu Shan also went to the police station and told them Xiaobai's appearance to see if anyone had lost someone.
As a result, the police station also said that they had not received any calls looking for anyone recently.
After coming out of the police station, Xu Shan sighed. She couldn't just abandon the person like that. After all, everyone has times of hardship.
When you are in trouble, there is always old man to help you.
Xu Shan went to the market, bought a bed, and a set of sheets and bedding.
I also bought a few pieces of clothes for Xiaobai.
When he came out of the sea, he was wearing a shirt and a pair of suit pants.
It's not right for a person wearing such fine fabric to fall into the sea for no reason and be left unattended.
When Xu Shan returned home, Dabai and Xiaobai had disappeared.
I went to the room and took out the bed from the space.
Then I made the bed for Xiaobai, washed the newly bought clothes, and hung them outside to dry.
"Xiaoshan, is this the dress you bought for me? I like it so much."
Xu Shan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You idiot, where have you taken Dabai again?"
"Didn't you ask us to look after the chicks and ducklings? We watched the duckling swimming in the pit and thought it was too small, so we dug a bigger one for it. Haha, a lot of water immediately flowed into it."
"Ah, did you dig randomly?"
"I don't."
"Come on, take me to see it."
Xu Shan rushed to the back mountain and found that Xiaobai had actually dug a hole in the stream, and the stream flowed directly into another small pit, like a small waterfall.
"There's no pit here. Did you dig it?"
"Xiao Shan, Dabai and I are really amazing, aren't we?"
"Great, great! This way, the ducks will have a big space to move around."
On Turtle Island, with Xiaobai, Xu Shan is no longer so lonely. Xiaobai takes Dabai with him all day long, catching crabs and helping him collect chickens and duck eggs.
Although I get covered in mud every time, I am clean as soon as I come out of the sea.
Xu Shan goes to the wholesale market once every two weeks and can sell nearly 20,000 yuan each time. When business is good, she can sell more than 20,000 yuan.
Unlike this time, we sold 28,000, because there are almost no fruits in summer except watermelon.
Xu Shan’s tangerines and oranges became big sellers.
And the price soared to 70 cents per pound.
The demand was insufficient to meet the supply, and every time she went there she would pull dozens of baskets but they were still not enough to share.
Chicken eggs are not easy to store in the summer, so business is not very good, but duck eggs are doing well.
A large number of duck eggs are needed to make pickled duck eggs.
Every time Xu Shan went to deliver the eggs to that woman, she would always collect all the duck eggs. Even though the egg business was not good, she could still collect her eggs because her eggs were all natural, raised by eating insects. Those who knew the business could tell at a glance.
The fruit trees on the mountain have grown lush and green after several months of growth, but I don’t know whether they will bear fruit this year.
After the old hens sat on their nests for a month, hundreds of chicks hatched.
More than twenty of them died one after another, and the rest were far from surviving. The number of ducks also increased by three or four hundred.
"Xiaoshan, it looks like it's going to rain today."
"Let it rain. Let's not go out this afternoon. Let's have some crucian carp soup. We bought some fish in Shua Village yesterday."
“Fish is better fried.”
"Don't ask for so much, I can't cook much."
"I can do it, Xiaoshan."
"Can you cook?"
Xiaobai nodded foolishly, then took Dabai to the kitchen and started working.
Xu Shan was very worried that she might burn down the kitchen, but Xiaobai, who looked silly, cooked in an orderly and skilled manner.
Xu Shan was surprised and said, "Xiaobai, you weren't a chef before, were you? Your cooking skills are too skilled."
"I don't know, but I'm familiar with it."
He can catch crabs and cook, so he must be a chef.
"Xiaobai, from now on you will be responsible for our family's meals, and you will also be in charge of the vegetable garden."
"Xiaoshan, you won't let me pick up eggs?" Xiaobai said aggrievedly when he heard that he was only allowed to cook.
"I'm afraid of tiring you out. Just focus on cooking. After dinner, you and Dabai can go wherever you want."
Xiaobai shook his head, took Xu Shan's hand and said, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. I want to pick eggs with you and chop trees with you."
"I'm not in a rush to cut down trees. I'll take my time. If it's too late to plant fruit trees, I'll find someone to cut down the trees."
Even though he was not allowed to work, he was unwilling to do so. Xu Shan had no choice but to agree, and from then on, the two of them worked and cooked together.
She wouldn't mistreat a fool.
But Xiaobai’s cooking skills are really good, and the taste is especially good, much better than the food she cooks.
"I knew you were such a good cook, so I let you into the kitchen. Besides catching crabs, what else can you do?"
"Going to the beach, there are a lot of seafood."
"Okay, today you take Dabai and go dig for something delicious, and I'll go to the mountain to chop down some trees for firewood."
"While this summer is cool, I plan to build a greenhouse to serve as a warehouse next to the beach."
Xu Shan did the math and found that after paying the 20,000 yuan rent to the village chief, she still had 20,000 yuan left.
In fact, she didn't have to build this warehouse, but she raised so many chickens and ducks, and they laid so many eggs. If she didn't have a place to store the goods on the mountain, it would easily arouse suspicion.
