In the past two days, Lai Zhicheng and several helpers carried out devastating fishing for the fish in Wolong Valley.
From dawn to dawn, I worked until I could no longer see. I was so tired that I almost vomited blood.
Hard work pays off, and although it is hard work, the rewards are great.
After two days, they had harvested a total of nearly 500 kilograms. They were so happy that Mr. Lai and his son could not close their mouths!
One reason for harvesting so much was the abundance of fish in Wolong Valley, and another reason was that Lai Zhicheng was greedy.
Yun Chao only forks big fish that weighs more than two kilograms, but Lai Zhicheng lets his gangsters fork any fish they see, and they won't refuse anyone who comes!
Worried that the fish would stink, even though the snow was still melting and the road was very muddy, Lai Zhicheng still drove his ox cart on the road without hesitation.
…
"Brother Chao, I heard that Muramasa and Lai Dai Lai Er drove an ox cart into the city to sell fish."
Aunt Wang didn't know where she heard the news, so she found Yun Chao worriedly.
Shitou knew how much profit he could make from selling fish. When he heard that Lai Zhicheng went to sell fish by himself, he immediately became indignant: "Second brother, the guy named Lai is really not a thing. You found the way, so why should he go alone without saying a word?"
Yun Chao smiled: "It doesn't matter, they do their thing, let's do ours and see who does it well."
To say that Yun Chao doesn't care at all is nonsense.
However, the extent of caring is very limited. At most, it will only affect his good mood.
Since he sold the fishing method to Lai Zhicheng, Yun Chao never thought about eating alone.
Wolong Valley is not a sea, and the number of fish products is limited. How many fish can be caught if Lai works hard?
What's more, people in Qingyang County are not particularly keen on eating fish, and the market is not big. Once Lai Zhicheng catches too many fish, he will soon be saturated.
At that time, will Lion House still offer a high price of fifty cents per catty?
Putting aside those irrelevant distractions, Yun Chao continued to direct everyone to work.
"Come on, let's all work together to move these jars to the kitchen."
The boys were hesitant to speak, wondering what Yun Chao was doing. Such a broken vat, with the bottom leaking, was put in the kitchen for what purpose?
Yun Chao didn't explain. It's better to say well than to do well. It won't be too late to wait until he has achieved results.
He asked someone to put several broken jars close to the stove, and Yun Chao set off with his men, tools, and barrels.
When they arrived at the north bank of Wolong Valley, Yun Chao first asked everyone to cut down trees together, cut down useless miscellaneous trees, dry them in the sun and burn them as firewood.
The area from Wolong Valley to Beishan is now all Yun Chao's territory. In principle, everything growing in this area belongs to Yun Chao. He can chop down trees as he pleases, and no one can control them.
Cutting down miscellaneous trees can not only be used as firewood, but also prepare for future land reclamation, killing two birds with one stone.
It is not a simple matter to convert wasteland into farmland.
Not only do you have to remove the rocks from the ground, but you also have to clean up what is growing on them.
Shrubs, weeds, miscellaneous trees, etc. are all within the scope that must be cleared. No matter what Yunchao does, it will not damage the environment.
The Dawu Dynasty did not use environmental protection for the time being, and the ecology was very primitive.
Take Beishan in the north as an example. There are a lot of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and the nearby villagers are seriously affected. If anyone can get rid of them, not only will no one be held accountable, but they will also be unanimously praised by the people!
Put down a few miscellaneous trees with crooked melons and cracked dates to warm up.
Then, Yun Chao took a few boys down to Wolong Valley.
It is winter, the dry season, and the water level at the bottom of Wolong Valley is very low.
On both sides of the ditch bottom, there are large expanses of stone and sand, and there are also silt in some places.
Yun Chao found a piece of relatively clean sand and asked everyone to dig it.
The sand is soft and easy to dig, as long as you don't dig in places where there is too much water and are frozen hard.
Soon, the barrels brought by everyone were filled.
Because it is at the bottom of the ditch and has been washed away by water for a long time, the sand is very clean and requires little cleaning.
After returning home, Yun Chao asked everyone to pour sand into the broken jar in the kitchen.
A layer of five centimeters thick was poured into each vat, and Yun Chao asked everyone to stop.
Then, Yun Chao brought over a pottery basin.
Everyone looked into the basin and saw soaked soybeans.
oh!
Everyone understood that Yun Chao was going to make lunch for everyone. It seemed that boiled soybeans were going to be eaten at noon.
However, when everyone saw Yun Chao's next operation, they all entered the petrified state.
Yun Chao did not pour the soaked soybeans into the pot to cook, but fished out the soaked soybeans and put them into the broken vat lined with sand one by one!
"this……"
Now that Shi Shi has learned a lot, he has gained wisdom every time he learned. Even if he didn't know what Yun Chao was doing, he didn't ask.
But the other three boys couldn't do it. They had never suffered a loss, and they had never experienced the feeling of being crushed by Yun Chao's IQ. In addition, they were young and at the time when their curiosity was at its strongest. They felt puzzled and couldn't help but want to ask.
"Brother Chao, why are you putting soybeans in the sand? Isn't this trashing things?"
"Yes, Brother Chao, even if the sand is clean and the soybeans can be eaten after being picked out, it still takes a lot of effort to pick out so many soybeans again!"
"Oh, Brother Chao, don't put it in the sand. These are all grains. It would be a pity to waste them!"
"..."
Not only the boys under Yun Chao, but also Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang who came to watch the fun were extremely distressed.
For poor people who usually don't even have enough to eat, wasting food is the biggest crime, and Yun Chao who wasted food is simply a heinous crime!
Even so, the only people who saw this scene were Yun Chao himself. If it were the old people in the village who saw it, they would have their ears scratched and twitched!
In the face of everyone's persuasion, Yun Chao not only did not feel ashamed at all, but also told everyone not to shout: "Don't worry, wait a few days, you will know what is going on in a few days."
After putting all the soybeans into the broken vat, Yun Chao covered it with a half-inch-thick layer of sand: "Okay, it's done. Let's go and do whatever we need to do. By the way, remember to keep it a secret!"
Although everyone felt sorry for Yun Chao's waste of soybeans, they had no choice but to shake their heads and leave.
Yun Chao sent several of his men to continue chopping firewood. After everyone left, he told Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang to boil hot water.
Before the water boiled, Yun Chao poured warm water into the broken vat.
Aunt Wang and Lin Youniang were confused and didn't know what Yun Chao meant.
Wasting soybeans is enough to ruin your fortune, but now you are pouring good hot water into the sand. Have you made some money in the past few days and are you feeling a little proud?
Just when Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang were looking coldly at Yun Chao, the Lai father and son finally drove the ox cart through the mud to the west gate of Qingyang County!
