Chapter 38: The River Mussel
At noon, when Song Xi and Zhou Yi were about to eat, Sheng Jiahe and Mo Jiaxiang ran back in a hurry.
The two of them were red and sweaty, and their sweat-soaked hair was tightly pressed against their skin, as if they had been fished out of water.
Zhou Yi hurriedly went to fetch cold well water for them to clean, while Song Xi hurriedly went to pour cold water for them.
Tea is also available in Song Xi's supermarket, but she doesn't have a chance to take it out for the time being.
The next time she goes to the commune, she'll be able to take some out.
Song Xi saw that the two wooden barrels were empty and there was nothing left, so he gave Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe a thumbs up, "You guys are very good, they were all sold out on the first day, how did you sell them?" How much is a pound or how much is a lunch box? ”
Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe and the two washed their hair, washed their faces, and drank a large cup of cold white water, and when the temperature of their bodies cooled down, the two of them seemed to find themselves again.
Sheng Jiahe said excitedly, "We actually sold it for thirty-two yuan in one morning, I am obedient, there are so many rich people in this city, we say one dollar and one catty, and the people in the city don't even bargain." ”
Song Xi was also very shocked, there were many field chickens in the field that no one ate and could be sold for one dollar and one catty, and sure enough, the people in the city were rich!
You can earn more than 30 in a day, so won't you be able to sell more than 900 or even 1,000 in a month?
The four of them divided it equally, and one person could get more than two hundred!
Yes, yes, this is indeed a way to make money.
"But you have to go to work during the day, and you have to go out to catch field chickens at night, and you have to rush to the city to sell field chickens, so it's too hard, and it won't take long for your body to collapse, so it's a bit more than worth the loss."
"I think you can find the kind of poor but reliable person in the village to help you catch field chickens, ten catties per penny or five catties per penny, so that you can rest normally at night, as long as you arrange someone to go to the city to sell them in the morning."
Seeing their excited looks, Song Xi had to pour a basin of cold water on them.
If you don't have a good body, what's the point of making more money?
Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe have always been in a state of excitement, and they didn't feel tired before, but now that Song Xi mentioned this, they suddenly felt extremely tired.
Mo Jiaxiang stuffed a stack of scattered tickets into Song Xi's hand, "Song Xi, please help me take this money first, and then come over to divide the money when we earn a little more." ”
"Okay, I'll keep the account book for you, so that you don't have to make mistakes in dividing the accounts in the future, and my brother can't do it." Song Xi counted the money carefully in front of several people, exactly thirty-two yuan, no more than one penny, no less.
She counted a dollar and handed it to Mo Jiaxiang, "You take a dollar first, so as not to have any needs." ”
Mo Jiaxiang glanced at Song Xi deeply, then took the money, and then went back to their respective homes with Sheng Jiahe, carrying empty barrels.
You really have to rest well, otherwise your body will really not be able to bear it.
So what Song Xi said about finding someone to help catch field chickens is indeed a good idea.
The two decided to find people first, arrange everything, and then go home to rest.
In this way, they can get a good night's sleep, and they only need to get up at four o'clock, pack up, and go to Zhou Yi's house again.
Time kept passing between his fingers, and a week passed in a blink of an eye, Song Xi ate and drank well every day, and his body recovered well, and he finally didn't feel dizzy and weak at every turn.
Zhou Xiaoshu gave her fifty catties of snails on the first day, and about 100 catties every day after that, so there are already nearly 1,000 catties of snails in Song Xi's supermarket.
And Zhou Xiaoshu's brother and sister also received a reward of nearly ten yuan from Song Xi.
If the snails could be picked up all the time, the siblings would earn forty yuan a month, which is higher than the wages of factory workers in the city.
So the enthusiasm of the two of them to pick up snails is getting higher and higher, but the snails are getting smaller and smaller the further they go, because the big ones are almost found by their brothers and sisters.
Song Xi opened the snails according to their size, and looked at the big white buckets in the staff restaurant full of snails, not to mention how satisfied he was, these are all money!
In the evening of this day, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua came over to give her snails again, but not much, only about thirty catties.
There are not many paddy fields in Ping'an Village, and no matter how many snails they pick up for so long, they are almost gone, and the smallest one cannot grow up in a few days, so they can only be kept for the next year.
After Song Xi moved the snails into the supermarket and weighed them, he took today's three cents to Zhou Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, now we shouldn't find many snails in the paddy fields of Ping'an Village, do you have any friends you know in other villages?" You can ask them to help you find it, and give them a penny and five catties, so that you can make the difference from it, and you don't have to be so tired. ”
There are not many paddy fields in Ping'an Village, they can pick up so many snails, if there are many paddy fields, how many snails can they pick?
Zhou Xiaoshu didn't dare to think about that huge amount, as long as he thought about it, he felt as if he was about to lose his breath.
So he decided to follow Song Xi's arrangement and go to other villages to find hungry children to help him pick up snails, not to mention five catties for a penny, even if someone is willing to pick up ten catties for a penny.
After receiving the money handed over by Song Xi, the two children thanked Song Xi in unison, and left with the basket.
But after a while, Zhou Xiaohua ran back again, and she looked at Song Xi with a worried face.
"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?" Song Xi asked softly.
Zhou Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then took out the river mussel she had been hiding in her clothes, and looked at Song Xi cautiously, "Little aunt, do you want this?" ”
"It's a river mussel, I want it, like a snail, as long as I wash the mud, I want as much as I want." I didn't expect there to be river mussels in Ping'an Village.
Although the mussel shell has more meat and less meat, it seems that it is a loss to spend money on this, but she is willing to help these two well-behaved and sensible children, besides, a penny and a pound, how can she not lose.
"Little aunt, do you really want it?" This thing has no meat, and it is not delicious, Zhou Xiaohua wants to make money, but she is afraid that the little aunt will suffer.
Because the little aunt is the best person in the world for them, better than their previous family members.
"Of course it's true, when did the little aunt lie to you?" Song Xi reached out and pinched Zhou Xiaohua's cheek, and said with a smile, "Go back quickly, don't let your brother worry." ”
"Okay, thank you, little aunt." Zhou Xiaohua said goodbye to Song Xi, turned around and ran outside, almost bumped into Zhou Yi who came back, she apologized to Zhou Yi and quickly ran away.
Because the little aunt said that she couldn't tell anyone about this matter, and they hadn't told Uncle Zhou Yi until now, so when facing Uncle Zhou Yi, Zhou Xiaohua was a little scared, so she ran away.
