Chapter 185: Ji Jianyun Is Rich Again

It was not enough for two people to clear such a large reservoir. Ji Jianyun also asked the men in the village, Dawan Village, and Sujia Village to help them.

And they were not going to work for free. When the reservoir was cleared, each person was going to be paid 10 yuan.

It would take a few days to clean up the reservoir. Each person was going to be paid 10 yuan, which was quite a lot. But they were all good men who were good with water. They could all dive into the water and hold their breaths for a minute or two.

There were more than ten men in all. They began to clean up the reservoir at a large scale in the past few days.

The reservoir was said to be 80 acres, but in fact, it could be more than 100 acre. However, this reservoir was not big. What was really big was the other reservoirs, which were hundreds of acres big. The really big reservoirs were owned by the state.

Their reservoir was jointly built by several villages in the early years to be used for farming, so it was not very big.

Its cold now, but it was nothing for these tough men.

It took them seven days to completely clean up the 80 acre reservoir. Except for some small fish, all the big fish were caught.

It was also because they were catching fish these days that Su Jindangs shop in town or Lao Qins county town goods store increased their business with selling fish, and the business is very good.

Not only these two shops, but also the shop in the college town. The fish were transported all the way there, and business was very prosperous.

There were many kinds of fish, including silver carp, grass carp, black carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, and so on. There were also mandarin fish, but the number of mandarin fish was very small. In addition, there were more than ten turtles.

When the fish were fished out, Ji Jianyun put the small ones back in, and the rest were delivered and sold by him. *:. ?????? ???? ?? ?????????.??? .:*

For the men who came to help, Ji Jianyun didnt treat them badly. After finishing their work every day, each of them were allowed to bring a big fish back. On the last day, Ji Jianyun paid their wages on the spot, and one of them returned with two big fish.

This made the men very happy: Jianyun, if you need help again next time, just shout, and we will come to you immediately.

If I need help, Ill ask you guys. The reservoir needs to be fenced again if you want to come back then! Ji Jianyun said.

To build a reservoir, it was natural to want young and strong men to come work on it. These men were good at fishing, so he put that idea forward.

Everyone was obviously happy.

It was no wonder they all wanted to work for Ji Jianyun. They only worked for a few days, and they received ten yuan and took a big fish back every day. They were treated really well.

So if they come to help rebuild the reservoir, they could have another way to make money. After all, repairing the reservoir was not a temporary job. It would take a lot of days, and the salary would certainly be good.

Ji Jianyun asked the two guys with the fishing boats if they would like to work for him and guard the reservoir.

However, they were not very happy about it and wanted to work alone. After all, this was not the only reservoir in their area. There was also a long river in the county town. Anyone could go fishing there. As long as they had a boat, they could go down there.

They could fish there and sell directly in the county town, and it was not less than what Ji Jianyun gave.

Ji Jianyun nodded and said nothing. After paying their wages, he left.

When he went home, Su Danhong was drying clothes. She saw him and said, I have boiled brown sugar ginger tea for you, go in and drink it.

She boiled something for him every day these past few days. Although Ji Jianyun was strong, she could never relax. It was cold now, and he went to the reservoir with everyone every day, which was exhausting.

Ji Jianyun smiled and went to the kitchen to drink ginger tea made by his wife. It was sweet and delicious.

Renren and Qiqi also saw it and wanted some. Renren just looked at it, but Qiqi was more direct. He just crawled over and went Ah ah with an expression of wanting it. He also pulled his dads pants, and he swayed as he tried to stand up.

He changed a lot recently, little by little every day. He was in the stage of learning to stand.

Ji Jianyun smiled and let the two young boys take a taste. Renren frowned and looked at his dad with some sympathy for drinks such an unpleasant medicine.

Qiqi also frowned. Without saying a word, he abandoned his dad and crawled back to play with his brother.

These two kids have no conscience. Ji Jianyun smiled.

Dad. Renren smiled at him and called out.

Play with your brother, dad is doing some accounting. He did not calculate the profits yet for selling fish from the past few days.

Okay, Renren answered.

Ji Jianyun put down his cup, went in to take the notebook to start the calculations. He knew that the fish had made a lot of money these days, and his second brother, Ji Jianye, was also very busy these days. He had to deliver a truck of goods first things in the morning, and then came back immediately. He had no time to rest after lunch, since he had to deliver a truck of fish.

Like this, it was not enough for him to deliver everything away. A few days ago, Lao Qin also came to help transport a few truckloads to the college town. Later, there were not as many fish, and it was not as busy, so one truckload a day was doable.

In addition to the fish they ate, he sent some to his mother-in-law, and there was a lot for Lao Qin and Su Jindang.

The account book clearly recorded everything. After doing the calculations for this account, Ji Jianyun had more confidence in himself for contracting the reservoir.

Su Danhong smiled when she saw that he was in good spirits. How much have you sold these days?

If you exclude the cost of hiring people, just selling fish made a net profit of 280 yuan! Ji Jianyun looked at his wife with a grin.

280 yuan was not much, but it was because there were not that many fish in the reservoir. Also, there were people who would catch fish by themselves to sell in the market. If he raised them instead, he was surely going to be rolling in profit!

Su Danhong was also a little surprised. Its that much.

Yeah, they were easy to sell, Ji Jianyun said.

Ji Jianyun gave his wife 200 yuan, and he kept the remaining 80.

Su Danhong took it because she was still paying the wages of the long-term workers. She was also in charge of the household accounts, while Ji Jianyun was the one who managed the accounts outside of that.

Su Danhong also knew that Ji Jianyun did not have any money saved up right now, but she still had a lot. Yesterday, she calculated that she had more than 3,000 yuan saved. This was not a part of the account books, and Jianyun didnt say anything about it, so she didnt touch it.

As for the money they used everyday, he gave some to her, and she saved it. She didnt concern herself about it. Once the money was in her hands, Ji Jianyun wouldnt take any of it.

Ji Jianyun relaxed again soon with money available.

Lao Qin and Su Jindang both came over to review the accounts before the month closed. Su Jindang made 300 yuan, and business was much better than last year. Lao Qin made more money, and made 380 yuan.

This was because Lao Qin was taking in more goods in the past month than before.

Apart from these two line items, Su Jindang paid back the money he borrowed to buy a house.

So now Ji Jianyun had money again.
