Chapter 489 I Want to Raise Crabs
The old man almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and couldn't believe his ears, "You, what did you say?"
Zhou Guo said: "We raise crabs ourselves. Although we can't sell them, we eat them ourselves. We can eat as many as we want. One person can even eat ten in one meal."
To be honest, although I ate four crabs, I still didn't feel satisfied. I didn't get enough roe and meat. It would be better to raise some male crabs so that I can eat the roe and meat when I want.
As for crabs, the old man was fine with eating them, but he had no idea about raising them. He waved his hand and said, "If you can raise them, then do so. But first, I can't help you. I don't know how to raise them. I haven't even seen what they look like in the water. Don't count on me for this."
Zhou Guo nodded. She didn't expect much. She smiled and said, "No need for you. Shopkeeper Yang will definitely know. I'll go ask him. If he refuses to tell me, I'll find a way to exchange it with him."
Everyone was curious, "How can you exchange with him?"
Zhou Guo said, "Shadowless fish, I'll go to the mountains and catch two Shadowless fish and send them to him. I'll trade them with him for the method of raising Shadowless fish. He'll definitely agree. If Shadowless fish are raised, their Baoyue Tower might become the largest restaurant in the country. No one can beat it."
Li and the others opened their mouths wide, and after a long while they said, "But, but, can you raise a shadowless fish?"
The old man asked expectantly, "Yes, when did you learn to raise fish?"
Zhou Guo turned his arm and pointed towards the mountain, saying, "I don't know how, but isn't the environment of the pond in the mountain there? What? The pond should be deep and shallow, and the river should have mud, sand and aquatic plants. The water quality should be good, warm in winter and cool in summer. It would be best to build a pond in the mountain. I think since their boss can raise crabs in the north, maybe they can raise shadowless fish. Haha, this method is really good. When the time comes, I will learn the method of shadowless fish, and we will have a constant supply of shadowless fish to eat."
The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't help laughing out loud as I talked about it.
The Li family was stunned. "This, this, isn't this just cheating people?"
The old man shook his head, "This is called getting something for nothing."
Zhou Guo said, "That's not the case. I traded the method with someone. Besides, we discovered the Shadowless Fish. If I didn't bring it to him, how could he know that there is such a fish in the world? I gave him such a big gift. What's wrong with asking for a method to raise crabs? There are so many ways to raise crabs in the world, but we are the only ones who have the Shadowless Fish. Besides, he might not know how to raise crabs in my rice fields."
The Li family members didn't know what to say.
The old man nodded and said, "I think what you said makes sense. You can try it."
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up and he thought carefully. In fact, this method would not be effective until next year, as the weather would freeze over soon this year.
The family talked for a while and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, Zhou Guo finished his practice and started to check his accounts, which lasted until noon.
Knowing that money would be distributed today, no villagers came to collect debts in the morning. It seemed that they all went into the mountains to pick mushrooms. When daybreak came, the yard outside was very lively.
Zhou Guo was still very satisfied.
Not long after lunch, Wu Jiang and his group arrived.
Wang Fugui and his family also came.
The group was busy for more than an hour before they finished all the work. Now all they had to do was pay the people.
When the first villager came to the door, he set off a string of firecrackers outside the Zhou family's yard. The crackling sound scared everyone.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's good. It's a good time to have fun during the money distribution period. It's more fun than the Chinese New Year."
The villagers are really happy this time. They have been counting on their fingers and toes many times at home these days. They already know how much money they can get. Before the pine mushroom season is over, they can still earn several times more. Once this season is over, good days will come for the family. This year will definitely be an especially rich and prosperous year!
Let’s not talk about Wang Fugui and his family.
The family that earned the most among them earned as much as four strings of cash!
If this money was saved in previous years, the family would not be able to earn it back in two years if they lived frugally.
This year is really a good year for them. In the early spring, they got a good harvest of sheep mushrooms in the mountains. Then they made some money from the pine mushrooms. Then there are these pine mushrooms, which are really their big golden bowl.
Zhou Guo looked at the villagers who received the money, all of them were grinning from ear to ear. He thought the smiles on their faces were so pretty. Even the girls who were usually unwelcome at home were brought out, and they also showed long-lost smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, this money will only be doubled if everyone makes it happily.
The Li family members were all delighted when they saw this.
……
The villagers went up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day, and the few acres of beans at home were given to the elderly and children who could not walk. Anyone who could walk, as old as Zhou Su, went up the mountain. The adults carried the beans on their backs, and they were paid one penny for every bean they picked.
Li was originally taking care of a few acres of beans at home. Seeing everyone picking beans in a hurry, she couldn't help but carry a basket and go into the mountains to follow Qian, who lived next door.
The villagers were surprised to see her coming with them. "Why are you following us up the mountain instead of enjoying your leisure time at home?"
"Yes, your daughter is making so much money now. She always buys thousands of kilograms of mushrooms from us. Why are you trying to snatch them from us?"
Li said, "How can she make a lot of money? I didn't take it from you for free. I bought it at a high price. After buying it, I had to hire people and a caravan to transport it. In the meantime, I had to take care of the food, drink, defecation and urination of so many people. After finally transporting it to the city gate, I had to pay the gate officials. Although she made some money, she also spent a lot. Her stall is getting bigger and bigger. I am worried that she will not be able to support it. I am thinking of saving a little for the children. I don't have any other skills. The only way I can help her is to go up the mountain to pick a few pounds of mushrooms. After all, I picked them myself. I don't have to spend money to buy them, and I can have a company with you."
Everyone just laughed when they heard this, no one took it seriously, "I think you came up the mountain because you were bored staying at home, you are not in the field every day to take care of your few acres of beans, how are the beans growing? "
Speaking of beans, every household grows them, but no one has taken care of them for more than ten days. Now that we have money to earn, who would care about those few acres of beans at home? We make so much money in a day that we can buy all the beans from ten acres of land.
Li smiled and said, "It's just like you. You don't have time to take care of the crops in the fields, and I don't have much time either. However, we don't need to buy cattle and horses this winter. What we grow at home is enough."
Others said, "You are so particular that you feed beans to cows and horses. We keep the beans for ourselves, but you feed them to cows and horses."
