To breed crabs, you need a pond of the right size, and Wang Ping has bought a lot of real estate in Qingzhou City, including one on the banks of the Qingjiang River.

Jiang Xiaobai chose a place with enough sunlight around him, and asked Wang Ping to find someone to dig a square pond 20 meters long and 20 meters wide next to the house, because the water in the pond cannot be too deep, only 50 centimeters is enough, and the height of the entire pond is only 1 meter high, so two days to dig a pit is enough.

The more troublesome thing is that there should be aquatic plants in the ponds where crabs are raised, because aquatic plants can not only produce oxygen, but also have a certain effect on purifying water quality.

The newly dug pond can only be planted with some aquatic plants artificially, but fortunately, the number of aquatic plants for raising crabs is not much, and it is too late to collect ready-made ones from the river.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare an aerator to replenish oxygen to the crabs, and at the same time make a device around the pond to prevent the crabs from escaping.

After listening to the request, Wang Ping said: "Time is a little tight, if you dig a pit, let Zhuang Macheng take 20 people, you can dig it in half a day, and then do some leak-proof treatment, and finally plant some aquatic plants at the bottom of the pond, first divert water for two nights, and wait for the crabs to arrive, and then change to a pond with new water." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Anyway, the matter is handed over to you, you can arrange what to do." ”

Wang Ping agreed with a smile and went to work.

Jiang Xiaobai also asked Chen Xin to inform the chefs of all the directly-operated stores of Qingjiang Braised Prawns tomorrow that on October 17th, 18th, and 19th, they will go to the main store in batches for training to learn the practice of spicy crab and shrimp and crab porridge.

Of course, the introduction of new dishes starts with our own directly managed stores.

From the 20th to the 31st, the chefs of the franchise stores will be trained.

Again, the notice will be sent tomorrow.

After all, half of the franchise stores are in the county below, and chefs need to be arranged in advance.

Because crabs are not like crayfish, franchisees in the counties below can collect them locally, but they can only be shipped from Qingzhou.

In this era, logistics is inconvenient, there is no small truck from Qingzhou to the counties, and the crabs can only rely on passenger shuttles.

Fortunately, in this era, the management of passenger transport is not very strict, and there is no saying that passengers and goods are not allowed to be mixed, as long as you buy a ticket, the driver will still bring the goods.

Jiang Xiaobai asked Chen Xin to contact the franchisee, and asked them to contact the drivers of the passenger stations in their respective places, and report the contact information to Wang Ping after discussing the matter of bringing the goods, so that Wang Ping could send crabs in the future.

After a lot of busyness, it's time to get off work again.

Jiang Xiaobai took Lin Jiayin and Jiang Shan back to Jiangwan.

When he arrived in Qingshan Town, he still went to Li Manman's house to have a look.

thought that no matter how you said it, Li's father and mother should take Li Manman home.

However, Jiang Xiaobai still did not move when he arrived at Li's house, and Li Manman's parents Li Jiafu and Lan Mei, as well as Li Manman's sister Li Weiwei, still did not come back.

Even Li Jiagui was in a hurry, if he didn't want to take care of his family, he couldn't help but rush to Tucheng.

Jiang Xiaobai comforted him for a while before leaving.

In Qingshan Town today, most people already know that something happened to the Li family.

"Alas! You say that Li Manman is such a good person, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone? ”

"yes, it's so distressing!"

"That girl is really good, with a high level of consciousness, and it will take five or six years to go to such a distant place."

"Who's to say it isn't? In order to teach, she didn't even make a home! ”

"Heaven is unfair, why can't you keep good people!"

"Alas...... White-haired people send black-haired people, it's too miserable! ”

"Jiafu and Lanmei are going to survive this time!"

"You said, Jiafu and they have been gone for two or three days, why haven't they brought Manman back?"

"I also wondered, and said that the others picked it up, and I had to help no matter what, and send that girl on her last journey."

"Only the girl of the Yang family accompanied Jiafu and Lanmei to Tucheng, I didn't know the news before, if I knew, I would also go to help, alas...... I don't know anything now! ”

“……”

The people of Qingshan Town knew about the Li family, and many people were talking about it.

Jiang Xiaobai was also uneasy, and went home stupidly.

One day later, when Jiang Xiaobai entered the city, he still went to Li's house to see it, but Li Manman's parents still didn't go home.

Lin Jiayin said: "Husband, why don't you go to Tucheng, it's been a few days and there is no news ......at all."

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Yes, there is no news at all, wait for another day today, if there is no news tomorrow, I will go to Tucheng." ”

Lin Jiayin nodded, it is one or two hundred kilometers from Qingzhou to Tucheng, and it will take most of the day to drive, if it is not necessary, she does not want Jiang Xiaobai to run.

"Baba, Mama, you come here every day, who are you looking for? Did he never come home? Jiang Shan listened to the conversation between her parents and asked.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced back at her daughter and said, "Your mother and I came to see a classmate, she is a very respectable teacher, and she fell ill on the podium......

Jiang Shan said: "The teacher is sick, why don't you go to the hospital to see him?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said sadly: "Shanshan, Dad said that she was sick, not that she was sick, but ...... But she died of illness and left this world forever! ”

"Oh!" The little guy seemed to understand, and said, "Then is she the same as Brother Zi'an's father?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, a little dazed in her heart, and said: "Well, she is the same as Jiang Zi'an's father, they are all good people who are respected and driven!" ”

The little guy seemed to be in a little depressed mood, and said in a low voice: "Why are all the good people dead?" Can't live well! ”

Jiang Xiaobai felt sour when he heard this, yes, why are all good people dead?

He didn't know how to answer his daughter's question, and felt a little depressed, so he rolled down the window glass and let the wind blow in......

The jeep slowly arrived at the office of the spice factory, Jiang Xiaobai got out of the car and let Lin Jiayin and Jiang Shan go into the house, he took out a cigarette and lit one.

Last night, he dreamed of Li Manman again.

I just didn't wake up like last time.

In the dream, Li Manman said that she was gone, leaving the place she loved deeply, and was going to a place she didn't want to go, she said that she thought Jiang Xiaobai would come to see her off, so she stood on the east slope and waited, waited until the sun set, waited until the stars climbed all over the sky, and waited until the mountain flowers on the east slope were all gone, and she didn't wait for him to send them off.

She had to leave alone......

Jiang Xiaobai didn't understand, why did he have such a dream?

I also regretted it a little in my heart, I knew that this was the case, when Yang Jie called him that day, he should have followed Yang Jie to Tucheng.

After smoking a cigarette, it seems that the depression in my chest has been relieved a lot.

Jiang Xiaobai started another busy day.

In the morning, he went to the place where Wang Ping was digging the crab pond and commanded on the spot, and in the afternoon he has been drawing drawings in the office.

When it was almost five o'clock, he put down his work and prepared to call his wife and daughter home.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang.

He answered the phone, and Yang Jie's voice came from the other end.
