After breakfast, Su Anying stayed to clean up the house, while Xu Shiyan hurried out with a basket on his back.

I broke up, I didn't have any money in my hand, and I had to accompany my daughter-in-law back to the door tomorrow, so I had to find a way to make money.

The Dongjiang River, located on the west bank of the Songhua River, is a village built along the river.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, living by the river, it is indispensable to make a fuss about it.

Xu Shiyan came all the way to the river, walked up along the river, and came to a big willow tree growing diagonally.

The big willow tree was not small, as thick as two people hugging each other, its roots growing in the water, its trunk slanting over the water, and some of its branches hanging down into the water.

Xu Shiyan put down the basket and took off his shoes and went into the water, slowly touched the willow tree, and found a rope along the trunk.

Then he pulled the rope and slowly pulled it up, and gradually, a rather large wicker basket surfaced.

The ecological environment has not been destroyed in these years, and there are many fish in the river, and the waters here are rich in fine-scale fish.

The fine-scale fish is commonly known by the locals, and the scientific name should be called the fine-scale salmon, which is a very famous cold-water fish, with delicate and delicious meat and very few spines, and most of them are farmed in later generations, and the price is expensive.

Xu Jiazu lived in Dengzhou Mansion and made a living by fishing by the sea.

Later, when he went to sea and was shipwrecked, the ship capsized, and several people died, and the others did not dare to go to sea again, so they broke into Kanto and came to the northeast.

I don't know if it's an ancestral gene, anyway, Xu Shiyan is very good at fishing and shrimp.

He is clear about the waters near here, where there are many fish, when the fish bite the flood, he is clear, and every time he goes to the net, he can have a lot of harvest.

Sometimes I caught too much and couldn't finish it, and it was too salty to pickle, so Xu Shiyan simply thought of a way.

Make a few large baskets with wicker, elm sticks, etc., and put the caught fish into the basket and put them back into the water.

The flower basket has eyes, small fish and shrimp can get in, and the fish inside can eat food but can't get out.

Tie the flower basket with a rope and tie it to the tree on the shore, if there is a guest at home, you can come to the river at any time to catch one back, which is more convenient than raising it in your own fish pond.

Along the riverside, Xu Shiyan hid a lot of such flower baskets, found a few at random, and caught more than a dozen fine-scaled fish.

Then use willow bark to thread one end to the gills of the fish, and tie the tail of the fish with the other.

In this way, the gills of the fish are opened, and the fish can remain alive for several hours even if they leave the water.

After packing up everything, Xu Shiyan carried the basket on his back and walked all the way to the place where the boat was placed at the entrance of the village.

The Dongjiang River Brigade is on the west bank of the Songhua River in the first road, and the Songjiang River Town is more than 20 miles east of the Jiangdong.

"Uncle Liu, cross the river." Xu Shiyan shouted loudly towards the other side of the river. The people over there heard it, rowed over and picked up Xu Shiyan on the boat.

"Yo, the third son of the old Xu family, what are you doing here?" The old man who set up the boat was not young, he was an old man, and the team arranged such an errand for him.

"Go to the Songjiang River and visit the door with relatives." Xu Shiyan planned to take the fish to the town of Songjianghe and sell them.

In these days, the management is quite strict, and it is not a small crime to be caught in speculation.

Of course, no matter how strict the management is, there are transactions in private, and this kind of thing will kill the bold and starve the cowardly.

In his previous life, Xu Shiyan definitely didn't have the brain to think of it, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare.

But he was reborn, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what a market economy was.

Besides, it's just a few fish, and it's not an important material, so what's there to be afraid of?

It's a big deal to be smart, and when you see that the situation is not good, you will run, and you don't have the eyesight of the young and strong? In order to make money, you have to get out of the way.

There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, everyone understands them in their hearts.

When Lao Liu heard Xu Shiyan's words, he smiled, didn't say anything else, and rowed a boat to send Xu Shiyan across the river.

The Dongjiang River is more than 20 miles away from the town of Songjiang River, and the road is difficult to walk, all the way are ditches and ponds, full of stone cannons.

Xu Shiyan carried a big basket on his back, and the more than ten fish in it had at least fifty catties.

Carrying fifty pounds on his back, and it is a rugged and difficult mountain road, he naturally can't walk fast.

Thanks to the fact that people in these years are accustomed to walking, let alone twenty miles, walking two miles, some people can't stand it.

There were two stops on the way, and by the time he reached Songjianghe Town, it was almost ten o'clock.

Songjianghe Town, located in the Changbai Mountains, is rich in forest resources and rich in all kinds of precious timber. Because there is a river called Songjiang River in the northeast of the town, it is named Songjiang River Town.

In 57 years, the Forestry Construction Preparatory Office was established, and in 58 years it was named Songjiang River Forestry Bureau, and in 60 years it was officially put into operation, and in 62 years, Songjiang River Town was established.

Songjianghe Town started with forestry, and the Forestry Bureau is located in the town, with fiberboard mills, pulp mills, lumber mills, machine repair factories, building engineering teams, line engineering teams, water supply stations, small power stations and other enterprises.

In addition, there are high schools, vocational high schools, junior high schools, primary schools, shops, hospitals, epidemic prevention stations, maternal and child health stations, cultural and sports clubs, cinemas, art troupes and other units and institutions.

Counting the 12 forest farms, three business offices, two nurseries, and four forest railway stations, there are more than 10,000 employees and a total population of more than 40,000. It can be said that most of the Songjiang River belongs to the Forestry Bureau.

The Forestry Bureau is rich in resources, rich, forestry workers are well paid, and it can be said that the economic level is higher than that of the county.

On the west side of the bureau office, opposite the store of the Forestry Bureau, there is a triangular square vacant lot, which can be regarded as a small market spontaneously formed by the people.

In these days, supplies are still scarce, and there is no money in hand to buy things.

So when Xu Zhiyan arrived at the place, as soon as he put the basket on the ground, he saw a group of people hula around. "Oh, what about selling fish, or thin scales, how do you sell them?"

"It is said that it should be two yuan a catty, but I didn't bring a scale today, just five yuan a piece, this fish is at least three catties heavy, and I won't lose money when I buy it."

Xu Shiyan replied with a smile while wiping the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

No matter what time it is, the fine-scale fish is a rare thing, even if it is this year, it is not something that can be seen casually, so he asks for two yuan a pound when he opens his mouth.

When the people around heard this, many people shook their heads, "It's expensive, it's too expensive, pork is only eight cents a catty, and your fish can sell six catties of pork." ”

Xu Shiyan shook his head when he heard this, "Auntie, that's different, you still have to ask for meat tickets for pork, don't you?" That's the limit every month. ”

"I don't want a meat ticket, you buy a stew and put some vermicelli, tofu or something, the family let go of it, how beautiful is it to eat?"

As soon as Xu Shiyan's words came out, many people nodded secretly, which made sense.

Pork eight cents, not only for meat tickets, but not much, if you go late, you can't grab it, that's really money can't be spent.

The Forestry Bureau is rich, the wages are high, the treatment is good, and the workers have money in their hands, but there is nowhere to spend the tickets.

Buy a fish for a few dollars, stew it in a pot at home, and then simmer some rice or two noodles in a pot to make a meal, not to mention how energetic.
