Ye Ning's destination was the rice fields by the river.

The area where her family lives was originally rural, vast and sparsely populated.

With the economic development of Qingning City, various factories were gradually built here, and later kindergartens, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, etc. were built here.

The ancestors of the Ye family were authentic farmers, and the family had land and land, and the house where her family lives now was built on the original homestead.

Most of the family's fields have been expropriated, and now there are only two acres of paddy fields and one acre of dry land left.

The rice in the field is bent over by the full ears of rice, and it will be harvested in half a month.

The moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the evening breeze blows on the cheeks, blowing away the heat of the day and bringing a little coolness.

Ye Ning listened to the crisp and pleasant sound of frogs and insects, and couldn't help but think of a poem 'The fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, listen to the sound of frogs', this poem is very appropriate.

Seeing that she had been looking at the sky in a daze, Er Huang exclaimed curiously, "Big beauty, what are you looking at?" ”

Hearing what it called herself, Ye Ning couldn't help but smile, lowered her head and rubbed its furry head, and began to work.

The cage is about two feet long, the small end of the mouth is the lid, the entrance is trumpet-shaped, and there are inverted teeth at the same time, once the yellow eel enters the cage, it cannot come out under the obstruction of the inverted teeth.

There was a need to put earthworms and other bait in the cage to lure the yellow eel, Ye Ning gently stroked the horn of the cage with both hands, and the bamboo cage began to emit the smell of bait.

She put the cages into the ditch next to the rice field in turn, and waited for the next morning to collect the cages.

After getting out of the cage, Ye Ning took Erhuang home.

Seeing her come back, Ye Meimei smiled and said to Ye Jingui, "Dad, your appetizers will be served tomorrow." ”

Thinking of the taste of those wild fish, shrimp, loach, and yellow eels that Ye Ning and Ye Yang caught in the past, Ye Jingui's eyes became gentle when he looked at Ye Ning, "Hehe, yes." ”

Ye Ning smiled noncommittally.

I want to eat the yellow eel in her cage, dream of you!

At the end of this day, after going through a lot of things, Ye Ning felt a little tired, and after washing his hair, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.

She wiped her hair and looked at the dilapidated room.

Of the three tiled houses in the house, one of the large was made into a hall, and the other two were divided into four rooms.

Qiu Yuhua has one husband and wife, and Ye Meimei, Ye Yuan and Ye Yang have one each.

In addition to the main house, a kitchen, storeroom and utility room were built with bricks and asbestos tiles.

The room where she lived was a utility room where farm tools, pots, pots, dustpans, baskets, and other things were stacked.

The room was simply furnished, with a hard-erected wooden bed against the wall, an old desk and square stool, and a wooden chest with all her clothes in it.

The room can't be compared with Ye Meimei's, and the shabby can't be shabby.

Bear with me, she'll move out as soon as possible.

When her hair was completely dry, she closed her eyes and rested.

Tomorrow will be a different day!

The summer nights are short, at five o'clock in the morning, the window is already bright, Ye Ning also woke up from his sleep, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and carried a plastic bucket to collect the cage.

Er Huang saw that she was going out, so he hurriedly wagged his tail and followed.

Ye Ning lifted the first cage, and the heavy weight made her squint happily.

The cage came out of the water, almost full.

She opened the lid, and the yellow eels were poured into the plastic bucket, and after a rough count, there were fifteen or sixteen, large and small.

There were not only yellow eels, but also a few fat loaches, and she picked out the ones that were too small and released them.

The situation of the other three cages was similar, looking at most of the buckets of yellow eels, Ye Ning grinned happily, revealing a mouth full of neat white teeth.

If the younger brother was on the side, his jaw would definitely fall in shock.

In the past, they also gained from being in the cage, but each time the amount was not much.

If you are lucky, you can eat a meal, and if you are unlucky, you can only cage one or two or empty cages, and sometimes, you will cage a slippery and greasy snake, and you will be frightened.

After being happy, Ye Ning left the rice field with a bucket and cage and walked straight in the direction of the vegetable market.

"Ye Ning." A motorcycle stopped beside Ye Ning, and the young man wearing a helmet greeted her with a smile, "Come to collect the cage so early, have you got a cage?" ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked into the bucket and was shocked, "All caged last night?" ”

Ye Ning looked at the young man and showed a sincere smile, "Fourth brother, you were lucky last night, you went to work so early?" ”

The young man's name is Fang Hui, he lives on the same street as her family, and he is a junior high school classmate with her, so he has a good relationship.

After graduating from junior high school, he went to learn to be a chef and now works at the Phoenix Hotel in the city.

Fang Hui got out of the car, pointed to the yellow eel in the bucket, and said, "Ye Ning, I can't eat so many meals, can you sell some to me?" ”

"What are you selling? You can take it. Ye Ning said.

She is in a hurry to make money, but for those who are sincere to her, love is far more important than money.

"You misunderstood me, it's not me who wants to eat it myself." Fang Hui smiled and waved his hand.

He explained, "I went out so early to see if there were any wild fish, shrimp and yellow eels, and some customers asked for wild ones. ”

"It's too hard to buy pure wild ones in the vegetable market, you have ready-made ones, aren't you stupid if I don't buy them?"

Hearing him say this, Ye Ning was pleasantly surprised.

In this way, she doesn't have to go to the market to toss, and she won't waste time to be suspected by Qiu Yuhua and them.

She said truthfully, "Fourth brother, I won't tell you, I'm also going to go to the vegetable market to sell it, if you really need it, of course it's best to sell it to you." ”

"If you're going to sell, then I'll want it all." Fang Hui said happily, pure wild fish is becoming more and more difficult to buy.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Do you want to keep some to eat at home?" ”

"No, you don't." Ye Ning shook his head without hesitation, and pursed his pink lips lightly, "Fourth brother, it's still troublesome for you not to tell anyone else, including my family." ”

Fang Hui was very aware of her situation at home, his heart was sour, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch the top of her head to comfort her.

But thinking of their relationship, his eyes darkened, and he nodded solemnly, "Ye Ning, don't worry, except for you and me, no third party will know about this matter." ”

"By the way, if you have these in the future, come to me directly, our hotel business is not bad, and there is a great demand every day."

His help was like a charcoal in the snow for Ye Ning.

If she goes to the vegetable market to sell, let's not say whether she can sell them all, the delay is certain, and sooner or later she will be discovered by Qiu Yuhua and them.

She nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your care." However, you must promise me that you can only buy it if your hotel really needs it and it will not affect your work. Otherwise, you just look down on me. ”

"Haha." Fang Hui smiled heartily and wanted to pat her head again, "If it weren't for the hotel's needs, where would I have so much money to buy it, don't worry, I'm not a fool." ”

He has always wanted to help Ye Ning, but he didn't have a suitable opportunity.

Now that he has this opportunity, which is not only necessary for work, but also to help her, of course he will not miss it.

In the vegetable market in the city, the yellow eel with a wild name is sold for more than 40 pounds for the big ones, 256 pounds for the cheapest ones for the smaller ones, and about 7 or 8 yuan cheaper for a pound in the suburbs.

Fang Hui wanted to buy it at the price in the city market, but Ye Ning insisted on the price in the suburbs, and it was lower than the market price.

Fang Hui disagreed, saying that Ye Ning would suffer too much in this way.

In the end, the two decided that no matter how big or small, they would buy it at a price of twenty-five.

This bucket of yellow eel was about twelve or thirteen catties, and in the end, Ye Ning received two hundred and eighty yuan.

Two hundred and eighty yuan is not a small amount in '96, and many people don't have that much in a month's salary.

After thanking Fang Hui again, Ye Ning happily walked back with the money, and after selling a few more times, he could try to do other deals.

Of course, the cage yellow eel can't make a long-term development plan, and even if she has an ability, there is no guarantee that she will have such a good harvest every time.

Her goal is to make a food kingdom, and her good cooking skills can't be wasted, but she just has no money.

Don't rush, take your time!

Ye Ning returned home with confidence.

The house was quiet, Qiu Yuhua and they hadn't gotten up yet, she wrapped the money in a plastic bag, and then hid it in Erhuang's kennel.

She patted it on the head, "Erhuang, help me take care of it, bring meat and bones for you to eat in the afternoon." ”

Thinking of the fragrant meat and bones, Er Huang nodded happily.

Ye Ning went to the kitchen to find rice, put it in the rice cooker to make porridge, and then went to deal with yesterday's bamboo, and wanted to weave more cages to come out.

waited until seven o'clock before the three of them got up.

Ye Meimei yawned, stood at the door of the hall and asked Ye Ning with a smile, "Xiao Ning, how many yellow eels were caged last night?" ”

"Nope." Ye Ning didn't raise his eyelids, and replied coldly.

"How can there be none?" Ye Meimei's face was full of disbelief, and she was expecting to eat braised yellow eel at night.

Ye Ning looked at her at this time, "Eldest sister, you are so capable, then you can go to the cage tonight." ”

Ye Meimei, who was choked by this, wanted to roll her eyes.

Ye Jingui was also a little disappointed when he heard it, but he didn't say anything, and at the same time stopped Ye Meimei from saying anything more.

Going to Han's house today is a big deal.

After breakfast, Qiu Yuhua went to buy gifts.

When she entered the yard with the gifts she bought, she couldn't help but get angry when she saw that Ye Ning was still making those bamboos.

"Dead girl, why don't you go and change your clothes? is such an adult, I have to worry about everything......"

Listening to Qiu Yuhua's unkind scolding, Ye Ning wrung his eyebrows irritably, put down the bamboo and went back to the room to change clothes.

As soon as she closed the door, Ye Meimei's sweet voice came from outside the door, "Xiao Ning, open the door and give you something good." ”
