The crayfish test was successful, which means that starting from tomorrow, they will go back to the village to collect crayfish.
"Grandpa, let's start from Shanhe Village."
A group of people had warm yellow lights above their heads and fans blowing hot air. Muning and Gu Lin sat at the table and began to arrange what everyone needed to do from now on.
"Grandpa, you are relatively familiar with the village, so you can talk to the village chief about collecting crayfish and ask him to come up with a plan that can make everyone make money without getting into disputes over catching crayfish in the fields. "
"Besides, we have one month to plow rice. We only have one month to make money, so we have to make good use of it."
Mu Tiande rubbed his hands excitedly, "Ning Ning, if you really want to collect crayfish in the village, how much does it cost per pound?"
The people in the village are poor, and every household is poor.
They eat from the fields, and their hard work all year round is just food for their mouths, leaving little money.
Crayfish are everywhere. If the adults in the family don’t take action, a child can catch a hundred kilograms of them in a day with no problem.
Muning nodded, "Brother Lin and I have discussed it. Grandpa, you told the village chief that we should charge one yuan per catty."
Muning and Gu Lin discussed this price for a long time.
Their six yuan per pound looks quite expensive, but the cost is not low, and one dollar is the highest purchase price they can afford.
Of course, Muning also thought that it would be great if they could raise crayfish themselves in the future. This business was obviously feasible.
But thinking about these is too far away now, just take the road ahead.
Gu Lin looked at Sun Guohua. He had a better personality than Wang Jianping, was more articulate and thoughtful, and was more suitable for running outside than Wang Jianping.
"Xiaohua, you can follow grandpa to Shanhe Village to collect crayfish tomorrow. I will figure out the car matter."
Gu Lin thought about buying a tricycle, which would be more convenient.
It's just that this car is not easy to buy. He has to ask his former brothers for help. If the price is not right, he can only borrow it.
Sun Guohua's body trembled with joy, "Okay, brother, I promise to complete the task."
As long as he has something to do and is not free of charge, Sun Guohua is full of strength.
"Brother, how many pounds should we collect tomorrow?"
It's so popular tonight, how many crayfish will I bring tomorrow? I feel happy just thinking about it.
"Let's get 500 kilograms first." Muning estimated that it would be a lot but not much. It would be much better when they settled on the store.
"Okay, I'll take grandpa there tomorrow." Sun Guohua happily drank a large bottle of water.
Wang Jianping was a little anxious. What should he do?
Muning smiled and said, "We can rent an extra spot at our food stall. You and Zhao Liang will guard the cold noodles and cold shrimps, and I will guard the wolf-toothed potatoes. As for the crayfish, let's see how your brother makes them tomorrow."
Gu Lin squeezed Muning's hand and said, "It must be as delicious as yours."
Perhaps Gu Lin was born to be a chef, and he was indeed more talented in this area than ordinary people.
He can calculate the exact amount of salt in Muning's mouth, and the taste is quite different and delicious.
Things were simply arranged, and everyone worked together as a team.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Mu Tiande set off towards Shanhe Village on the motorcycle ridden by Sun Guohua.
When he found the village chief and told him the reason why he returned to the village, the old village chief held Mu Tiande's hand and said excitedly.
"Tiande, is everything you said true? Ning Yatou really wants a dollar for those things that I don't want."
Mu Tiande's eyes turned into slits when he smiled, "Really, really, it's only one yuan."
"Ning Ning has a plan in mind and asked you to come forward to greet her. Ning Ning has good intentions to let everyone make money, but she doesn't want everyone to catch crayfish and destroy other people's rice for the sake of money. Not to mention, the villagers will fight and get injured. It won’t be good if you lose the harmony.”
Crayfish in the fields are indeed free. If you catch some yourself and take them home to eat, the people in the village will laugh at you for looking like a child, but they will enthusiastically help you catch them.
It’s different now. This thing costs one yuan a pound.
Then you can't catch them in my field. Whoever sees them in the ditch belongs to him.
Muning only needs five hundred kilograms a day, so if the villagers catch a thousand kilograms in a hurry, who will they ask for the money?
Therefore, the role of the village chief is reflected.
After many years, he used the village's loudspeaker, which intermittently conveyed his meaning.
People of all sizes in Shanhe Village gathered together. The village chief's face was no less wrinkled than Mu Tiande's, and he smiled more often, but everyone knew that he was very happy.
"Oh, you don't know. Ning Ning is very popular selling crayfish in the city. In order to take care of everyone, she went back to the village to collect crayfish for one pound per pound. Isn't this a great thing?"
Ouch!
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but pulled Mu Tiande and started chattering.
"Ouch, Uncle Mu, is this true?"
"Old Mutou, your Ningning is so promising."
"Are you really guaranteed to pay one yuan per catty? Then my son can pay for a hundred catties of crayfish casually."
The adults were happy and the children were screaming with excitement.
The village chief took advantage of everyone's excitement to make rules.
First, you are not allowed to catch crayfish from other people’s fields.
Second, if any family gets into a fight over crayfish, the crayfish from both families will not be accepted in the future.
Third, there is currently a small amount of goods received, and each household has a specified quantity and comes one after another to ensure that every household can earn some pork money to supplement nutrition before harvesting rice.
The village chief was still a little embarrassed about selecting people. He didn't know how to choose, so he thought about drawing lots when a clear voice rang out.
"Grandpa, village chief, can you let me catch it this time? There is almost no rice at home."
"It's Xiaofeng." Mu Tiande called out in a low voice.
"Grandpa, that child..." Sun Guohua asked.
Mu Tiande sighed and explained, "The child's life was miserable. He was born with legs that were so weak that he couldn't walk. His parents said they went out to work to earn money to treat his legs. In fact, they never came back after they left. I don't know whether they would rather die or not." child."
"Hey, there is a grandma at home. She used to be very energetic and was good at farming, raising pigs and chickens. But she has been sick recently, and her work at home has been delayed. She is also a poor child."
Although the honest people in the village felt sorry for Xiaofeng's experience, they really didn't have any extra money to support him. Now that they had an opportunity to make money, they all gave it to him.
"Hey, I still have a pair of hands that won't starve to death." I don't know who is saying this, maybe it's Xiaofeng himself.
He knew that he could catch fifty kilograms of crayfish by himself, so he happily dragged his body to his own field.
The crowd dispersed, and the village chief took Mu Tiande's hand and said, "Tiande, we are really not as good as you in raising children."
