black-bellied peasant woman

Chapter 41 Working hard for a better tomorrow

Thinking of a sentence she learned before, she now truly feels that the ancients did not deceive me. That sentence is, there is no end to learning.

Daniel greeted the two brothers who could swim, and then led them to walk a few times by the creek, and chose three places to enter the water. They took a long time to enter the water, so long that Su Jin was a little worried that they would No more drowning.

Until Su Jin couldn't bear it and wanted to go into the water to have a look, the three of them dived up from the bottom almost at the same time, and each of them even caught a fat fish in their hands.

"Miss Su, you are really right. The water is actually very deep, and there are many fish under the water. These fish are too lazy to move, so they are so fat." Da Niu said, holding the fish in his hand. The fish was thrown to the shore, and the other two people also threw the fish in their hands up. After the three of them swam to the shore, they were all amazed at the number of fish at the bottom.

"How deep is the water?" Although Su Jin knew that he could dive into the water to catch fish, he still felt that it was too laborious. It was more convenient and quicker to fish with a fishing net.

"It's about as deep as the three of us stacked on top of each other." Daniel said, gesticulating, and the two standing beside him were also tall. If the two of them were added together, the water would be five or six meters deep!
"No wonder last time..." When a living person was brought up, the water was so deep, why didn't that person drown?Su Jin thought very unkindly.

"Miss Su, if you cast the net, it's probably not very easy to catch fish, because those fish are too lazy, even if we go into the water, they don't bother to move, which makes it so easy for us to catch, you see They are almost dead now, and they still don't move much!" Daniel said, kicking the fish lying upright on the bank with his foot.

Seeing this, Su Jin was a little dumbfounded. These fish are too lazy. She originally thought that the fish on this mountain would be wild without artificial breeding, but now it seems that these fish are too easy to eat. If she is so lazy, it will be easier for her to catch fish.

"What does Daniu think should be convenient for fishing?" She also felt that if the fish didn't move, she wouldn't be able to catch any fish even if she cast the net.

"I think it would be much easier to find two people holding fishing nets on both sides of the shore, and then one person going into the water, pulling the fishing nets all the way to the bottom, preferably to stir up those lazy fishes. "Daniu thought, and began to gear up, looking eager to try.

Seeing how excited he was, Su Jin also felt that this was a good idea. After all, the fish was ready-made and could be sold directly down the mountain. In that case, there would be funds to expand the farm on the mountain.

But now there is still a headache, that is, there is only one water tank on the mountain, and it is getting late now, if you really go fishing in the water, there is no place to put it.

If the fish is sold while it is still alive, the price will be higher, and no one would want to buy a dead fish that is lifeless, rolls its eyes, and emits a stench.

"Well, Daniel, let's try this method again tomorrow. There is still a problem to be solved today, and that is the water tank for holding the fish. If it is based on the quantity you see, how many water tanks are needed?" Su Jin frowned slightly. Although this natural resource is the best, she also knows the truth of sitting on the mountain, so these fish will not be sold out, only part of them will be sold, and the rest will still be raised in the stream. After digging a pond, we disperse the fish in the pond to raise them, and then buy some fry, um, that’s how we do it.

"Ah, look at my memory, I actually forgot this point, Shitou, quickly go and get the bucket, fill some stream water and put these three fish in it to raise them, don't die." Da Niu suddenly slapped his head, Pushed the people around him to let him go to work, then turned his head to look at Su Jin and said, "Miss Su, this water tank is actually easy to find, every household actually has unused ones, but if you borrow it, you still need to return it , that would be troublesome, and Miss Su doesn't want to raise fish here, if you want to raise fish in the future, you will need a water tank."

"Daniu, I didn't expect you to know so much." Su Jin looked at him in surprise and said, "Would you like to bring your brothers to work with me in the future?"

"Of course I would. Ms. Su is a nice person, and with such a high salary, I, Daniel, is just waiting for a good master. It's a pity that the ones I met before didn't use long-term workers." Daniel looked at it excitedly. Su Jin, he can finally settle down, and his old mother can finally stop starving.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you can settle down. The work of planting trees and seeds will be calculated according to the wages of one person per day. After these tasks are completed, you will be replaced with monthly wages. At that time Let's talk again, this place will be your world and your home from now on!" Su Jin said, waving her hand proudly over the entire mountain, her appearance at that time made everyone present feel shocked It's very shocking, I really didn't expect that such a weak and petite woman would have such an aura. Daniu, Brother Liu and the others stared straight at her. This is one of the reasons why they have been willing to follow her.

When it was getting late, Su Jin asked everyone to stop their work and prepare to go down the mountain. If it wasn't for the poor deed of the mountain, she would really like to start building a house on the mountain now, after all, going up the mountain again and again like this Going down the mountain is too troublesome, a waste of time, and a waste of manpower and material resources.

Tomorrow morning, she has to take someone to buy a water tank. After all, those fish are ready-made things that can be exchanged for silver. As long as the fish is sold, she wants money for building terraces and houses, as well as money for various needs That's it, and with the money in her hand, it should be enough to make all of this happen.

Originally, Daniel said he wanted to stay on the mountain and watch. After all, the small house on the mountain is too unsafe. Even if it is locked, it may be pried open by a scheming person. You must leave someone here to watch. There are too many things inside, including saplings and seeds, if you don't look at it, it is indeed dangerous.

Su Jin asked everyone, and it seemed that only Daniel knew how to buy a cheap and easy-to-use water tank, so Daniel couldn't keep it, so Shi Shi took the initiative to keep it. He was the only one in his family, and he couldn't sleep anywhere. no problem.

Everyone laughed and made noise all the way down the mountain, received their wages at Brother Liu's house, and happily returned to their respective homes.

"Mother, mother!" Little Baozi saw Su Jin coming back just now, and he hadn't seen him for a day, so he felt uncomfortable, but seeing so many people talking around mother, he didn't dare to go there until he got home Everyone had almost left, so they rushed over, hugged Su Jin's leg, and shouted happily.

Su Jin was tired all day, but seeing Xiao Baozi now, no matter how tired she was, she felt happy. With her last strength, she hugged Xiao Baozi, kissed him hard on his little cheek, and smiled She pinched his little nose and asked, "Is the baby good today? Did you eat well? Did you learn a few words? Did the master praise you?"
