The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 39 Getting Ready
That day, after asking her parents who had a donkey cart and an ox cart, Mu Jinxi asked her father to come and borrow it the next day, saying that it was because the whole family planned to go shopping on the next market day. It will be crowded if you go by car with other villagers, so I want to borrow a car for my family.

Fortunately, that family is easy to talk to, and the Mu family is usually helpful, so it wasn't too difficult to borrow, and they waited for the market day to pick up the car.

The car is ready, the next step is the fish.In fact, it is best to catch the fish before going to the market, and then transport it to the Peach Blossom Restaurant in the market, so as to ensure freshness.But if this is the case, it will be easy to be discovered by people, but if the fish is caught one day in advance, the current conditions cannot guarantee that the fish will survive until the next day.

Or should she go out again in the middle of the night, and set off early after catching fish, earlier than other people in the village, so that she can ensure that the fish are alive when she goes to Peach Blossom Restaurant, and can avoid people, killing two birds with one stone.

That's it!
After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi waited for the time to pass. Of course, she didn't waste these few days. Her body had basically recovered. She found some time to go to the mountain again, and looked at the money trees. Well, and she reckons that the blooms will be very prosperous, which means that there will be a lot of fruit!

It's time for her to show off her skills!

Mu Jinxi is ambitious and full of hope for the future. She firmly believes that she will establish her own business kingdom in this time and space that does not belong to her at the fastest speed!

The business with Peach Blossom Restaurant will be her first step!
Tomorrow is the day agreed with the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Restaurant. In the evening, she will hand over Xiaobao to her mother and let Xiaobao sleep with his grandma.This is convenient for her to go out to catch fish in the middle of the night.

"Xiaoxi, let me go with you!" Mu Jinhua suddenly appeared when Mu Jinxi was about to go out and said, which startled the unsuspecting Mu Jinxi.

Mu Jinxi patted her chest lightly and said in a low voice, "Brother, what are you doing up in the middle of the night if you don't sleep?" The suddenness would scare people to death.

Mu Jinhua frowned and looked at her sister who was shocked and said, "Didn't I say that? I want to go with you."

Mu Jinxi was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the river to catch fish!" Mu Jinhua looked helplessly at her younger sister who was pretending to be stupid.

"Brother, why are you going? You don't know how to catch fish." He doesn't know anything except studying hard, and it might be a waste of help if he goes.

Mu Jinhua's face turned red with embarrassment, he really doesn't know how to catch fish, not to mention catching fish, he doesn't even know how to do ordinary housework.

Because he is the only son of his parents, and I don’t know why his parents’ only request for him is to let him study hard. In the future, he will be a scholar, raise people, and so on. He doesn’t need to do any work. I can't even wash my own clothes...

Mu Jinxi saw through the embarrassment on Mu Jinhua's face at a glance, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you'd better go back to sleep! Don't make trouble."

If Mu Jinhua was planning to back down a moment ago, then after hearing Mu Jinxi's words, he decided that no matter what, he would go together tonight!And he must catch a fish himself, at least one!
Mu Jinhua said angrily to Mu Jinxi: "No, I want to go with you!" His tone was unquestionable.

Mu Jinxi glanced at him, shrugged, and said, "Okay, since you decided to go, then go, it's good for you to learn a little bit. But you have to be careful, after all, we are hiding it from everyone. It must not be discovered by others."

I don't know why Mu Jinhua was very unconvinced when she heard her words, and always felt that her sister's words seemed to be full of sarcasm and looked down on him.

Mu Jinhua said angrily, "I know how to do it, you don't have to explain it to me."

"Then let's go, or it will be too late."

The two brothers and sisters came to the riverside familiarly. Mu Jinxi was prepared this time, so it wouldn't be like last time, and she didn't plan to catch too many, just a few, keep two at home, and take three. Peach Blossom Restaurant is enough, so tonight she just needs to catch five.

Coming to the river, Mu Jinhua looked at the fish clearly visible swimming in the river under the faint moonlight, and suddenly felt very confused. How, how to catch this fish?
Go directly to the river to catch them?May I?No way?The fish was alive and very slippery. He had seen his mother kill the fish before, and many times his mother would let the fish roll to the ground because the fish was too slippery.It can be seen how difficult it is to catch fish in the river.

When Mu Jinhua was still tangled by the river, Mu Jinxi had already started to act. She first rolled up her sleeves and trousers, and then took out the things she had prepared. There is no fishing net, and even if she had it, she would not use it, so I still use her for comparison. It will be easy to use.

What Mu Jinxi uses is a small net, which is circled with flattened bamboo, and connected with a pole. She only needs to use this small net to catch the fish.Of course, in order to save time, I still have to use the method from last time. Otherwise, the river is so long, how can she use the Internet?
Mu Jinxi glanced at the elder brother who was standing by the river bank and didn't know how to proceed to the next step, curled her lips and said: "Brother, please help me build a circle here, make it bigger."

Mu Jinxi stood at the place where the fish was caught last time, pointing to a place below and talking to Mu Jinhua, instructing him how to build a trap that satisfies her and let the fish get in.

Mu Jinhua knew that she was not good at anything, so even if she didn't want to, she still had to follow her sister's orders. After working hard for a long time, she finally met her request, and Mu Jinhua was already panting from exhaustion.

"Brother, are you a little too weak? I wasn't like you last time." Mu Jinxi looked at Mu Jinhua who was sitting on the ground with disgust.

Mu Jinhua couldn't help but rolled her eyes, she didn't even have the strength to refute: "Yes, yes, you are the best."

Mu Jinxi curled her lips and decided to let him go and catch her own fish.The preparations this time are naturally much easier than the last time. She caught five fish without spending too much time. Looking at the lively fish in the wooden barrel, Mu Jinxi felt a sense of accomplishment strangely from the bottom of her heart.
Immediately, her shoulders slumped, hey, she has fallen to this point, it's just a few fish that make her so happy?

"Brother, let's go back, it's getting late." Later she had to drive the donkey cart to Taohua Town herself.

Mu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, looking at her sister with some puzzlement, not understanding why she looked happy just now, but suddenly became depressed again.

But he didn't ask, just replied: "Oh, let me replace the fish."

Mu Jinhua took the wooden barrel from Mu Jinxi's hand, and the two walked side by side slowly towards the house.
