The reason why the village is poor is because there is little communication with the outside world. Su Muling figured out the reason, said goodbye to the old mother, and walked along the lake for a while before returning home.

Early the next morning, Su Muling got up early, didn't eat, and came to the lake with pomegranate and Liushun.

The fishing boat on the lake was still there, but there was no sign of fishing.

Su Muling frowned and asked Liushun to inquire about the situation.

Liushun walked not far and stopped a middle-aged man who was carrying an axe and was about to go up the mountain to chop wood.

"Big brother, when will the people in the village come to fish?"

"Fishing?" The middle-aged man looked at Liushun and then at Su Muling. "I want to eat fish, and I'll come back in the afternoon." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Liushun reluctantly returned to Su Muling: "Miss, he said that there are fish at noon." ”

"Let's go back."

It's no better than the fishermen on the seaside, who go out to sea to fish and can pull it to the dock to sell, and the people here fish just for their own food. Naturally, you won't get up early to do useless work. Su Muling returned to the house, took off the big coat, picked up the pen and ink, and began to write and draw on the paper, sometimes holding his cheeks and contemplating. She didn't notice how many times Xichun went in and out, until it was almost noon, and Pomegranate came in and reminded her: "Miss, are you still going to the lake?" ”

"Go to ......," Su Muling put down his pen and stood up.

"Miss, a big brother in the village has brought us fish." The voice of Liushun.

Door-to-door delivery of fish? Who could it be? Su Muling hurriedly walked out of the door, only to see that the middle-aged man he met in the morning put a basket on his back on the ground, lifted it with his hand, and more than a dozen large and small fish rolled out of the basket.

"What are you ......" Su Muling was puzzled.

"Don't you want to eat fish? Our family happened to be fishing today, and we can't eat it, so I'll send you some. The middle-aged man's words were very simple and heartwarming.

Su Muling took a closer look, there were silver carp, there were stick fish, there were floating fish, and there were yellow diamonds in this fish.

Su Muling bowed down and thanked him: "Brother Xie sent such a fresh fish, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The middle-aged man was embarrassed to see Su Muling so polite, he introduced himself with a red face with a basket: "My name is Ye Sanjin, and there are two families separated from here. ”

"Brother Ye!"

Su Muling stepped forward and picked up the yellow diamond that was more than a foot long, and asked others in surprise: "This is a yellow diamond?" ”

Ye Fei nodded. "It's a yellow diamond."

"Big brother, how is this fish lake?" Su Muling asked.

"Many, this fish swims very fast, very cunning, it is not easy to catch it." There were a lot of yellow diamonds in the lake, and this information made Su Muling's eyes shine with excitement.

"Little sister wants to discuss something with Brother Ye, so Brother Ye invites you to sit in the house." After Su Muling finished speaking, he entered the house with his head bored first.

Although it was already out of the New Year, it was still very cold, Su Muling was not wearing a big hat, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold.

Ye Sanjin heard that Su Muling was discussing matters with him, so he didn't refuse to follow in.

"Brother Ye, if I want a yellow diamond, how much can you fight in a day?"

Su Muling took the soup woman handed over by Xichun and held it in his arms.

Hearing that Su Muling only needed a yellow diamond, Ye Sanjin smiled.

He thought that Su Muling and his party were newcomers, and Xu was fresh, and he would be bored in a few days.

"As much as you want, I'll call you." Ye Fei is a typical straight man.

Su Muling knew that he had misunderstood, so he changed his words: "Has Brother Ye ever thought about fishing to sell?" ”

"Selling fish? Miss Su, you may not know, there is only this boat in our village, and whoever wants to eat fish will go down to the lake to fight. The people in the village were poor, and they also thought of fishing to sell, but the village was too far away from the town and there was no horse-drawn carriage to transport it. The fish are already dead by the time they arrive in town, so who else is going to buy them? Obviously, Ye Sanjin also considered this problem, but it was only because of the difficulties in transportation that it could not be implemented.

"Brother Ye, if we cooperate, you fish, I will sell, and we will divide the money fifty-fifty, what do you think?"

Ye Sanjin laughed when he heard this: "The fish in this lake are transported to the town to be sold, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the cost of going back and forth." Miss Su doesn't seem to be a person who is short of money, so why bother herself. ”

"Brother Ye, you may not know. The price of the yellow diamond in this lake in the city is at least 100 pounds, a yellow diamond is two pounds, five fish is one tael of silver, you hit twenty a day is four taels, you and I are half of you still have two taels of silver left, you don't do this business? ”

Su Muling confessed to him, and he didn't want to make his money, but just wanted to help him find a way to make a fortune.

Ye Sanjin was stunned, the handsome little woman in front of him wanted to pull him to make money? You can earn two taels of silver in one trip, oh my God, this is the rhythm of getting rich!

Ye Sanjin swallowed his saliva, stabilized his excited heart, and reminded her:

But the village is more than 30 miles away from the city...... "Dead fish can't be sold for a hundred yuan a catty."

"Dead fish are certainly not worth the trip, so we have to transport them alive. Bring the fish with the water, so that the fish are always alive. So if Brother Ye wants to cooperate with me, he has to help me make some wooden barrels for fish. We use wooden barrels filled with lake water to carry the fish, so that we can make sure that the fish are still alive in the city. ”

"Okay, the barrel is wrapped around me, you can tell how big it is."

The key problem was solved, and Ye Sanjin regained his confidence. As long as he can make money, let alone a wooden barrel, even an iron bucket, he has to think about it.

"We have a flatbed truck in our backyard, which is just right for carrying fish, Brother Ye can go and take a look, and you will know how big it is." Su Muling knew that she would definitely make people crazy as soon as she said this.

"Okay, take me there." Ye Sanjin is also an anxious child, as soon as he heard that he could sell fish to make money, he hated to start work immediately.

Su Muling called Liushun to take Ye Fei to the backyard.

"Miss, do you really want to sell fish for a few taels of silver?" When the master heard this, he would arrest them angrily, right? Xichun was a little worried.

Su Muling took a sip of hot tea and smiled faintly: "This village has unique treasures, but because the village is too poor, their thoughts are restricted. Since we're here, we'll help if we can. ”

"There are so many families in the village, why did the young lady choose him?" Xichun added charcoal to the charcoal stove. Put the kettle back on.

"If it was someone else who came to deliver the fish today, then it was not him who got the benefit."

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. Although Ye Sanjin is not a favor for sending fish, at least she is the first person in a dozen families in the village to show kindness to her.

Su Muling doesn't mind whether this kindness is big or small, she wants to help the people in this village get rid of poverty, so let's start with Ye Sanjin.

Ye Sanjin went home and got the tools and went up the mountain, and after more than an hour, he dragged a big tree and came home panting.

Mother-in-law Ye is a tall and thin woman, seeing that he is tired and sweaty, she hurriedly pulled him into the house and took out a yellowed towel that had been washed to wipe his sweat.

"There is still firewood at home, why bother to go out again on such a cold day."

Ye Sanjin snatched the towel from Sister-in-law Ye's hand, wiped it on his face, and looked at her excitedly: "Old woman, we are going to get rich." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the towel into Sister-in-law Ye's hand, and turned around to leave.

Sister-in-law Ye was confused by his headless words, and hurriedly grabbed him and reached out to touch his forehead, don't burn, what nonsense are you talking about?

Ye Sanjin pulled her hand away, closed the door, and told Su Muling about wanting to cooperate with him in selling fish.

Sister-in-law Ye couldn't believe that this good thing would fall on her family, so she hurriedly asked: "Our two families are not related, why does she want to help us?" ”

It is said that when you get to the village, if you want to tie up, the village chief's family is in the head.

"I don't know why, maybe I like my fishing skills."

Ye Sanjin is honest and willing to work, and he is a good hand at farming and fishing. It is reasonable to say that Su Muling took a fancy to his fishing skills.

Sister-in-law Ye jumped up with joy when she heard this, picked up her apron and walked to the kitchen.

"You hurry up and make a bucket, the sooner the better, I'll reward you for making a bowl of noodles."

"Mother, I want to eat noodles too."

A teenager and a half-year-old ran in from outside, grabbed the teacup on the table, and drank it.

"Where did you go, you kid, you don't know how to go home if you're not hungry." Sister-in-law Ye slapped the snow on his body, and counted the falls.

"Mother, what day is today, do you want to eat noodles?"

Although every family in the village has land, the land in this place is very strange, and the crops planted have changed one after another, but none of them grow well. If there were no fish in Yao Lake, the people in the village would not even be able to solve the problem of food and clothing.

"It's not a day, your father works in the yard, you go and help. Or don't think about eating at night. ”

Ye Hua poked his head into the courtyard, smiled at Sister-in-law Ye and agreed, "Okay." Then he ran to Ye Sanjin to help.

Sister-in-law Ye went into the kitchen, and from time to time she looked at the father and son who were in full swing in the yard, and her mouth couldn't close with joy.

Ye Sanjin's father was in full swing at home, and Su Muling was not idle. She dressed up a little, dressed herself as a rich woman, and came to Xiangjiang Town in a carriage with Pomegranate and Liushun.

After inquiring about the best restaurant in Xiangjiang Town, Su Muling led people up to the second floor.

The second floor is a private room, and the shopkeeper saw that Su Muling was dressed well, so he came up to serve in person.

"What specialties do you have here?" Su Muling didn't look at the recipe, and asked the shopkeeper directly.

The shopkeeper saw that this was a rich man who could eat. I was busy reporting the expensive, delicious and special things in the store one by one.

Su Muling listened, unmoved, and opened his mouth to ask, "No yellow diamonds?" ”

Hearing that Su Muling wanted to eat yellow diamonds, the shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, yellow diamonds are indeed delicious, but at this time it is winter, yellow diamonds are rare, and the price is ridiculously high." Even if it is prepared, few people spend a lot of money on such expensive things. If you want to eat, come back in two months when the weather is warm, and you are guaranteed to feast your lady's food at that time. ”

Su Muling stood up in disappointment: "I just want to eat such a bite, but you don't." It's a waste of your reputation as the biggest restaurant in town. Let's go, let's go to another house. ”
