Chao Gai didn't have the slightest shelf, and poured wine for Ruan Ying, which made Uncle Ruan very moved, you must know that Chao Gai is one of the richest people in Yuncheng County.

"Third uncle, just said that you can raise fish?"

Ruan Ying said with a smile: "I'm planning to be old, and when I'm old, I won't have the strength to fish, I have a fish pond at home, but ten acres, and in the summer, there are weeds everywhere, I cut grass every day and throw a few loads into the fish pond, and I can collect thousands of catties of fish in the autumn, and I don't delay other things." ”

"The third uncle raises all grass carp?" Chao Gai asked.

"Yes, mainly grass carp and silver carp, and some crucian carp. Although carp are delicious, they don't like to eat grass, and they have no food to eat, so they can only raise grass carp. ”

"Grass carp is very good, most of the wild grasses are eaten, dozens of big white geese can be raised on the pond, fish and goose polyculture, double harvest. After all, the area of the fish pond is too small, so it is better to raise it in this pool. Chao Gai proposed.

The third uncle said with a smile: "Bao Zheng said that he was joking, and he was not fished out by others in the water pool." ”

"Use a large net to make a cage on six sides, float the net with bamboo and rope, fish are raised in the cage, feed some forage every day, and collect fish from the net when it freezes in early winter, and the harvest is still possible." Chao Gai said.

The third uncle looked at Chao Gai in surprise and clenched his fists: "I didn't expect Baozheng to think of such a good method, if this method can be promoted, it will be a great thing for fishermen." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi was different, and said: "There are also fish in the water pool, but the problem is that the people are living a difficult life in these days, and the government is expropriating and expropriating, how many people can eat fish for five cents a pound of fish, although five cents is not expensive, but it can buy two or three catties of sorghum rice." ”

Ruan Ying said with a smile: "Don't worry about the three of you, Chao Baozheng is a possible person, he has a lot of shops, and he is not as small as us." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "I don't have a market, a few restaurants in the county can sell some, and the newly opened grain and oil stores can also sell aquatic products, and the sales volume will definitely not be too large." However, there are more than 3,000 tenants in my village, and eating fish every three days or two days is also a considerable amount of fish. ”

Ruan Xiaowu was surprised and said, "Brother Chao Gai's food for Zhuang Ding Zhuangke still has meat? ”

"The customers have fish and meat to eat every three or five days, and the steamed rice is enough. Brother Chao Gai's newly established escort team has the best life, three meals a day, self-service hair, and only Brother Chao Gai is so righteous all over the world, and I haven't been here for long to gain weight. Liu Tang said.

"What is a buffet way to eat?" Everyone asked puzzled.

"The self-service way to eat is very simple, and there are many varieties to choose when you eat it. For example, for breakfast, the guards will make steamed buns, flatbread two staple foods, sorghum soup, millet soup two soups, pickles and other vegetables two kinds of dishes, you can choose any when you eat, until you are full, of course, eggs are one per person, will not be given more. Liu Tang said, "At noon, there will be steamed rice, mutton, pork, chicken and duck meat, etc., of course, mainly fish." ”

The three brothers of the Ruan family yearn for it, it is not easy to eat such a good meal these days, most people have two meals a day.

"What are Brother Chao Gai's plans for business, if it's just a grain store and a hotel, I'm afraid I won't need so many guards." Ruan Xiaoqi is a smart person, and he asked the point at once.

"Since the brothers asked, I'll talk about it. This year, it is expected that five or six new department stores will be opened, twenty or thirty hotels, and the trafficking of cattle and horses will also be vigorously developed. In addition, there is salt and iron, the world is not peaceful now, it is not easy to do business, and there is no bone left to make people eat sooner or later if they have no strength in their hands and want to do business. In addition, I plan to vigorously develop horse, cattle and sheep breeding, aquaculture, chicken and white goose breeding. We will open a few more pharmacies and run a few schools, so that the people in our neighborhood will become rich, every family will have food to eat, everyone will have clothes to wear, children can learn, young people can have land to plant, and those who have no land can have a job to do, and they can spend their old age in peace when they are old. ”

"Well, this, Brother Chao Gai's ideal is too big." Ruan Xiaowu sighed.

"Haha, in short, everyone earns money and drinks wine." Chao Gai laughed.

The three brothers of the Ruan family are still very satisfied with Chao Gai's answer, opening a hotel, trafficking cattle and horses, and making salt and iron, these are all transactions with money, and the three brothers are all hot-blooded men, they admire Chao Gai very much, and the three of them looked at each other.

Ruan Xiaoer said: "Brother Chao Gai, the three of us brothers have low skills on the shore, but there are few opponents in the water within a radius of hundreds of miles from Jeju Mansion, if my brother doesn't dislike it, my three brothers are willing to go to my brother's escort team to do something." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Chao Gai can't ask for it, welcome to join." ”

Liu Tang's eyes rolled: "Three brothers, why don't we discuss, I'll teach the three of them my Pu knife and fists and feet, and the three of them will teach me a little bit of water, and I can swim." ”

"I also consider this, we have many rivers and lakes in Jingdong, it is better to do this, the existing hundred escort team will be changed to infantry guards, and another sixty people will be recruited who are proficient in water, called the water guards, and each of your three brothers is responsible for twenty people. While practicing spears and bows, the infantry escort team is required to learn the most basic swimming and not get dizzy when riding a boat. The brothers of the water guard also conduct training in bows and arrows and fighting, after all, there will also be jumping ships in fights on the ship. Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed: "I have long wanted to learn some shore kung fu, but there is no master who is willing to teach, and now there are masters like Brother Chao Gai and Brother Liu Tang who are willing to teach martial arts." ”

The three brothers of the Ruan family said that they would deal with the affairs of the family and go to Dongxi Village in three or five days. Chao Gai was naturally very happy, the next day the Chao family caravan came, and chose a small pond by the lake as a fish collection point, more than two catties of grass carp carp and carp per catty of three cents, silver carp per catty of two cents. Acquire about 1,000 catties every day, put it in the cage at night, and pull it away with four carriages with water tanks early the next morning, there are still a lot of fish in the big water of Liangshan, and the fish of twenty or thirty catties are not uncommon, so only collect more than two catties, and the fish that are too small are kept for them to continue to breed. At the same time, with an annual salary of 30 yuan, Nguyen Anh was hired to specialize in experimental cage fish farming, called the aquatic supervisor. In addition, Chao Gai found a construction team of more than 10 people for the Ruan family to rebuild the old house of the three Ruan brothers. Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi also received a settling-in allowance of 50 yuan each.

At sunset, Ruan Ying's fish collection dock, Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Sanshu were drinking.

"Third uncle, Brother Chao Gai's account room sent fifty taels of silver to our three brothers today, Brother Chao Gai is really generous." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Ruan Ying sighed: "I don't have to say anything about this fish farmer, Chao Gai is righteous, every Chinese New Year's Eve, I heard that there are dividends at the end of the year, this salary is not to say, I am satisfied." It's just that your fifty settling-in allowance, fifty yuan of annual salary is not easy to get. ”

"Why?" Xiao Qi asked.

"I'm getting paid for my work, it's my salary. What you take is the money of your life, the reward of blood. The third uncle said with emotion.

Xiao Qi said with a smile: "Playing is life, with the character of the three of our brothers, do you always think we can fish well?" ”

"Haha, that's right. However, the third uncle still has to say a few words, it is not easy to find a good owner in this year, since he has identified Brother Chao Gai, he has to treat it carefully. Ruan Ying said. Of course, Third Uncle Ruan knew what his three nephews were, they were all demon kings who caused trouble, and sooner or later there would be a big incident.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Third uncle, rest assured, the rivers and lakes pay attention to a righteous son, and there is no one in the Ruan family who is not righteous." ”

In Yuncheng County, people come and go on the streets.

Chao's grain and oil store was renovated and opened, in addition to the conventional grain and oil, there are also dried and fresh fruits, fish, shrimp, and daily necessities, and there are many daily necessities, which was renamed Chao Ji Department Store. This is the first in Jeju Prefecture, not to mention the small Yuncheng County, as soon as it opened, business was very good, rice and sorghum were 7% off, and live fish was also sold cheaply, and the rich people in the city rushed to buy fresh fish and did not want to go to the vegetable market to buy dead fish, so they came here to buy it.

It happened to rain on this day, the spring rain came too suddenly, the people who came and went on the street were wet, at this time suddenly someone was distributing the hat to block the rain, this batch of hat was officially ordered from Luhua Village, and it was also written with the word Chao Ji Department Store, all the people who passed by received a hat, and then everyone walked all over the street with the hat, although most of the people did not know the words, but everyone knew that this was the hat sent by Chao Gai's family, and also knew that Chao Gai's family had opened a new department store, and the advertising effect was very good. For a while, everyone in Yuncheng knew about Chao Ji Department Store, and Chao Gai also gained a good name, umbrella in the rain.

When the department store opened, Chao Gai only took people to see it, and Liu Liang told him some business precautions before returning to Dongxi Village.

The second batch of recruitment for the escort training camp began, this time the recruitment is water-based, which is not a high-level study, although the villages near Dongxi Village and Xixi Village are not as close to the lake as Shijie Village, but there are rivers and reservoirs in any village, and there are many people who can swim. With the propaganda of the last time the escort team screened out people, there were quite a few people who signed up this time, recruiting 60 people and signing up for 200.

Chao Gai first ran a five-mile cross-country run and screened out more than 70 people, and the rest had to wait for the Ruan brothers to choose. When the three brothers of the Ruan family arrived the next day, Chao Gai took Liu Tang and more than 50 ordinary villagers from Chaojiazhuang to greet them at the entrance of the village.

The three brothers were flattered, Chao Gai took people out of the village to greet them, this is a very heavy etiquette, and the three of them hurriedly bowed: "How can the three of me be virtuous, dare to work brother to welcome from afar." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly helped the three of them up: "Prepare a banquet in the village, Xiao Er, Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, follow me back to the village to drink." ”

"Haha." Everyone laughed and went back to the village together to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the three brothers of the Ruan family. held four tables of banquets and ate wine in the martial arts arena in Chaogai's backyard. Just as he was happy, Zhuang Ding, who was on duty, came with a Zhuang guest with a bleeding head, and Chao Gai's brows were furrowed.
