Chapter 38: mussel
??Chapter 38 River Mussels
??At noon, when Song Xi and Zhou Yi were about to eat, Sheng Jiahe and Mo Jiaxiang rushed back.
??The two of them were flushed and sweating profusely, and their sweaty hair was tightly attached to their skin, as if they had been fished out of the water.
??Zhou Yi hurriedly fetched cold well water for them to wash, while Song Xi hurriedly poured cold water for them.
?? Tea leaves and so on are also available in Song Xi's supermarket, but she has no chance to take them out for now.
?? When she goes to the commune next time, she can take some out.
Song Xi saw that the two wooden barrels were empty and there was nothing left, so he gave Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe a thumbs up, "You are very good, you sold them all on the first day, how did you sell them? How much? Is it a catty or how much is a lunch box?"
??Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jia and the two of them washed their hair and face, and then drank a large cup of cool water. When the body temperature dropped, the two of them seemed to have found themselves.
Sheng Jiahe said excitedly, "We sold it for thirty-two yuan in one morning, my dear, there are so many rich people in this city, we say one yuan per catty, and the people in the city don't even bargain of."
??Song Xi was also very shocked. There are so many uneaten frogs in the field that can be sold for one dollar a catty. Sure enough, the people in the city are rich and powerful!
??You can earn more than 30 in a day, so wouldn't you be able to sell more than 900 or even thousands in a month?
??The four of them are divided equally, and each person can get more than two hundred!
?? Not bad not bad, this is indeed a way to make money.
?? "However, you have to go to work during the day, go out to catch frogs at night, and have to rush to the city to sell frogs. This is too hard. It won't take long for your health to collapse. It's not worth the candle."
"I think you can find poor but reliable people in the village to help you catch frogs for ten catties a penny or five catties a penny, so that you can rest normally at night, as long as you arrange someone in the morning Just go to the city and sell it."
?? Seeing their excited faces, Song Xi had to pour cold water on them.
??If you don’t have a good body, what’s the point of earning more money?
??Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe have always been in a state of excitement. They didn't feel tired before, but now that Song Xi mentions it, they suddenly feel extremely tired.
??Mo Jiaxiang stuffed a stack of scattered tickets into Song Xi's hands, "Song Xi, please hold this money for me first, and come over to share the money when we earn a little more."
"Okay, I'll keep the ledger for you, so that I won't make a mistake in dividing the accounts in the future, and my brothers can't do it." Song Xi counted the money carefully in front of several people, and it was exactly thirty-two yuan, not a penny. A lot more.
??She counted a dollar and handed it to Mo Jiaxiang, "You take a dollar first, in case there is anything you need."
??Mo Jiaxiang took a deep look at Song Xi, then took the money, and then together with the Sheng family, they went back to their respective houses with empty wooden barrels.
?? You really need to take a good rest, otherwise your body will really be overwhelmed.
??So what Song Xi said about finding someone to help catch frogs is indeed a good idea.
?? The two decided to go find someone first, arrange everything, and then go home to rest.
??In this way, they can sleep well at night, and they only need to get up at four o'clock, pack up, and then go to Zhou Yi's house.
??Time kept passing between the fingers, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Song Xi ate and drank well every day, and his body recovered well.
??Zhou Xiaoshu gave her 50 catties of snails on the first day, and about 100 catties every day after that, so there are nearly 1,000 catties of snails in Song Xi’s supermarket.
?? Zhou Xiaoshu and his brother and sister also received nearly ten yuan from Song Xi.
??If they can keep picking snails, the brother and sister can earn 40 yuan a month, which is higher than the wages of factory workers in the city.
??So the enthusiasm of the two of them to pick up snails is getting higher and higher, but the snails become smaller as they go, because the big ones are almost found by the brothers and sisters.
??Song Xi separated the snails according to their size and saw that the large white buckets in the staff canteen were full of snails. Not to mention how satisfied they were, they were all money!
??In the evening of this day, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua came to give her snails again, but they were not many, only about thirty catties.
??There are not many paddy fields in Ping'an Village, no matter how many snails they have picked up for so long, they will almost disappear, and the smallest ones cannot grow up in a few days, so they can only be saved for the next year.
After Song Xi moved the snails into the supermarket and weighed them, he gave Zhou Xiaoshu today's 30 cents, "Xiaoshu, we probably can't find many snails in the paddy fields of Ping'an Village now, and you know them from other villages." Little buddy? You can ask them to find it for you, and calculate it for one penny and five catties, so that you can make the difference from it, and you don’t have to be so tired.”
??There are not many paddy fields in Ping’an Village, and they can pick up so many snails. If there are a lot of paddy fields, how many snails can they pick up?
??Zhou Xiaoshu didn't even dare to think about that huge number, as long as he thought about it, he felt as if he was about to be unable to breathe.
??So he decided to follow Song Xi's arrangement and go to other villages to find hungry children to help him pick up snails.
?? After receiving the money handed over by Song Xi, the two children thanked Song Xi in unison, and left with their backpacks.
??But after a while, Zhou Xiaohua ran back again, and she looked at Song Xi anxiously.
?? "Xiao Hua, what's wrong with you?" Song Xi asked softly.
??Zhou Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then took out the mussel she had been hiding in her clothes, looked at Song Xi cautiously, "Auntie, do you want this?"
?? "It's mussels, I want them, just like snails, as long as the mud is cleaned, I want as many as I can." Unexpectedly, there are mussels in Ping'an Village.
??Although there are many mussel shells and little meat, it seems to be a disadvantage to buy this by herself, but she is willing to help these two well-behaved and sensible children.
?? "Auntie, do you really want it?" This food has no meat and is not tasty. Zhou Xiaohua wants to make money, but she is afraid that Auntie will suffer.
??Because the little aunt is the best person in the world to them, better than their previous family members.
?? "Of course it's true. When did little aunt lie to you?" Song Xi reached out and pinched Zhou Xiaohua's cheek, and said with a smile on her face, "Go back quickly, don't let your brother worry."
?? "Okay, thank you little aunt." Zhou Xiaohua bid farewell to Song Xi, turned around and ran outside, almost ran into Zhou Yi who came back, she apologized to Zhou Yi, and ran away quickly.
??Because the little aunt said that this matter cannot be told to anyone, and they have not told Uncle Zhou Yi until now, so when facing Uncle Zhou Yi, Zhou Xiaohua was a little scared, so she ran away.
