6. Plant melons and raise fish
At night, Mo Changfeng helped his parents soak their feet and massage them as usual to help them regulate their bodies.
In the past two days, Mo Shifu and Wang Juhua both felt that some old problems on their bodies had been alleviated a lot, and they slept very peacefully and soundly every night, so it became a habit for their son to soak their feet and massage them every night.
"Brother, are you really good at massage?" Sister Mo Changfeng said in surprise.
"That's it, wait for Brother Hui to help you massage your head to ensure that you don't get tired from studying for a week." Mo Changfeng nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay. You don't know, in the last semester of our third year of junior high school, we have been doing exam questions all the time, which is just too headache. Mo Changfeng said happily.
Afterwards, Mo Changfeng helped his sister massage her head, and naturally used her spiritual power to sort out the blood meridians for her, which was enough to ensure that she would be able to have a clear mind in the next week.
On Sunday morning, Mo Changfeng helped his father turn over some woodland behind the house, and his mother planned to buy some watermelon seedlings and plant them when she arrived tomorrow, so that she would have watermelons to eat in the summer.
After lunch, Mo Changfeng continued to go fishing in Yulong Lake.
It's just that when he arrived, he found that several of the places where he was fishing a few days ago had been occupied, and the location of the Anhe shrimp yesterday was also put into a cage.
Not only that, Mo Changfeng found that next to the entire embankment, there were net cages hanging on the side everywhere, and almost all the people who came to fish brought net cages to Anhe shrimp.
Obviously, everyone saw that he had a lot of river shrimp yesterday and learned from him.
"Brother Mo, you're here." After Mo Changfeng arrived, the anglers next to him greeted him one after another.
"How? What's the big takeaway today? Mo Changfeng found a remote location where no one was around, and after placing three net cages, he began to fiddle with the fishing rod.
"Ahem, don't mention it, it took me a long time to catch a few crucian carp. After a morning of net cages, there are only a few river shrimp. Someone next to him shook his head and said.
"Great God, what I admire most is you, you will gain more in half a day than we will in one day." Someone said enviously.
"Brother Changfeng, you catch a big fish in a while and leave one for me, I want to invite someone to dinner tonight, I haven't moved after fishing for a long time, it's all up to you." There are also people who book Mo Changfeng's fish in advance.
"It depends on our luck?" Mo Changfeng didn't agree directly, but smiled and said.
However, of course, his luck could not be wrong, and soon he caught one after another, crucian carp, white stripes, yellow spicy dices in an endless stream, and at about four o'clock, he caught a silver carp weighing more than six catties.
"Hahaha, this tarpon is mine. Brother Mo, I said that it was all up to you to treat me tonight, and now I am relieved. The person who ordered the big fish next to him laughed and said.
At half past five, Mo Changfeng collected the rod, and when he lifted the cage, each cage had a small three-catty river shrimp, which made the people around him dumbfounded, because they probably didn't add up to as many river shrimp as Mo Changfeng in a cage.
"Great God, I want a cage of river shrimp." Someone immediately spoke.
"The other cage is mine." The person who reacted quickly rushed to say.
Mo Changfeng nodded, the tarpon was sold for a hundred yuan, the two cages of river shrimp were sold for two hundred yuan, and the other crucian carp, white stripes and yellow spicy dices were also sold for two hundred yuan, and there were still some things left to eat.
In just five days, Mo Changfeng earned nearly 3,000 yuan from fishing, and if he calculated in this way, he would be able to pay off his family's debts in a month.
In the evening, Mo Changfeng took out 2,000 yuan and gave it to his father: "Dad, the money I have been fishing and selling these days, let's pay off the sporadic accounts I owe first." It won't be long before we'll be able to pay off all our debts. ”
"Is fishing so profitable?" Mo Shifu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Dad, I went to see it with my brother yesterday, and I can earn hundreds." Mo Changfeng hurriedly testified.
"My fishing skills are okay, and today I caught a silver carp of more than six catties, and they sold it for 100 yuan. There are also two cages of river shrimp, which are about the same as the cage they brought back, and they are also 100 yuan a cage.
In addition, some crucian carp, white strips and yellow spicy dices were sold, and they also looked like they were about 200 yuan. Mo Changfeng patiently explained that he was worried that his parents would not believe him and doubt him.
"Okay then, I'll pay off the odd debts first." Mo Shifu took the money, nodded and said.
"Girl, this 100 yuan is your living expenses." Mo Changfeng took another hundred yuan to his sister.
"It doesn't take that much, does it?" Mother Wang Juhua hurriedly said, "Thirty yuan is enough." ”
"Mom, they all say that the poor raise children and the rich raise daughters. In the past, our family had no conditions, and the girl was sensible and didn't spend money indiscriminately, but now that we can make money, we have to give the girl what we should spend.
Of course, girl, you also remember that don't just pursue material consumption, but spend money on food and school supplies, and only the knowledge and skills you learn are your own. Mo Changfeng said with a smile.
"I know. I'll save what I don't need. Mo Changfeng happily took it and said.
"I got a lot of river shrimp tonight, I'll get you some and put them away, you can take them to school tomorrow to eat, or you can share them with your classmates to taste. If you want to eat anything in the future, call home, and my brother will send it to the school gate for you. Mo Changfeng said dotingly.
"Well, my brother has been the best for me." Mo Changfeng felt extremely happy, with his brother, everything was really different.
On Monday morning, Mo Changfeng took his sister to school in a battery car, saving her nearly an hour of hard work over the mountains.
"Girl, study hard." Sending his sister to the school gate, Mo Changfeng rubbed her head and said.
"Brother, I promise to be admitted to the county, and I will be able to see Sister Wanrong every day." Mo Changfeng said with a sly smile.
After watching his sister enter the school gate, Mo Changfeng went to the market to buy more than 100 watermelon seedlings, and went to the fishing tackle store to buy a lure rod, spending three or four hundred yuan.
"Mom, I've bought the watermelon seedlings, I'll plant them." When he returned home, Mo Changfeng said to his mother, and went to the woodland behind the house to plant more than 100 watermelon seedlings.
Now, with the continuous operation of the Spirit Gathering Small Array, the aura of heaven and earth around the Mo family is getting stronger and stronger, and it is barely enough for Mo Changfeng's daily cultivation.
At the same time, the various plants around the Mo family, under the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, are also growing more and more luxuriant, at this time the peach blossoms, plum blossoms, pear blossoms, etc. have already opened, and even began to bear small fruits, especially the loquat is still more than a month to mature.
Moreover, when he was free these mornings, Mo Changfeng also pruned the branches of these fruit trees, and cut some broken and too dense branches so that the fruit trees could bear fruit better.
"Well, the money from selling these fruits when they ripen alone will be enough to renovate the house by the end of this year." Mo Changfeng looked at the fruit trees in the forest and smiled, the fruit trees that were worthless in the past will all become cash cows in the future.
"Dad, I have an idea, our fish pond is so big, it's too wasteful to only raise more than ten ducks. I want to fence off a corner of the fish pond to raise ducks and some fish. Subsequently, Mo Changfeng discussed the idea of raising fish with his father.
"You can do whatever you want, I only know how to farm, and I don't know anything else." Mo Shifu thought for a moment and said.
He used to raise fish, but it didn't work well and he couldn't sell it for money. But since the son wants to get it, let it be, the young people think differently from their old people, and they know more, maybe the son can make some Mingtang.
Mo Changfeng found a roll of green nets in the firewood room at home, went to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo, and then surrounded the corner of the fish pond close to the family for dozens of square meters, so that the ducks could be driven here to be stocked in the future.
That night, Mo Changfeng quietly came to the Jiuqu River, five or six miles away from home, and directly put two buckets into the river, and then drove a group of crucian carp, carp, yellow and white stripes from the river into the buckets.
However, the fish in these rivers are relatively small, most of them are still fry, and only a few larger fish are large, and Mo Changfeng directly brought them back and poured them into the fish pond.
In one night, Mo Changfeng went back and forth five or six times, and brought back more than ten buckets of fish and poured them into the fish pond, which finally gave the fish pond some life.
Of course, in order to make others suspicious, Mo Changfeng also bought a thousand fish fry of various kinds and put them in the fish pond, and then got the weeds in the surrounding fields and threw them in the fish pond.
Under the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, the weeds growing in the mountains and woodlands around the Mo family are very nutritious.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed, although he bought a lure rod, in fact, he could catch more fish, but Mo Changfeng controlled it, insisted on earning only about 500 yuan a day, and occasionally caught a big fish of more than ten catties a day, and at other times he mainly fished ordinary crucian carp and white stripes.
On the weekend, Mo Changfeng still went to pick up his sister home, and Mo Changfeng's personality became much more cheerful, chattering about various things in school along the way, obviously she was in a very happy mood.
"Brother, you don't know, in several exams this week, my grades have improved, and the teachers of all subjects have praised me, saying that I must have no problem taking the county exam." Mo Changfeng said proudly.
"Of course, I don't see whose sister it is. Girl, I heard that there is a sharp knife class in the county, do you think you have hope? Mo Changfeng asked again after complimenting.
"Yes. However, I heard that the students enrolled in the sharp knife class are among the top 100 in the county. In last month's joint entrance examination, I ranked more than 500 in the county, which is still far from the top 100. ”
"It's not far behind, there are still more than two months to go, as long as you keep improving, you can definitely rush into the top 100 in the county." Mo Changfeng encouraged.
"Well, I also feel that my current state is very good, as long as I keep improving, I believe that I will definitely be able to take the sharp knife class." Mo Changfeng suddenly had confidence, and shouted as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
On Sunday night, Mo Changfeng took out 3,500 yuan and gave it to his father: "Dad, tomorrow you go and pay back the money from the village chief's family and the ninth uncle's family, and then we only need the money from the second uncle's family and Wanrong." ”
"How much can you earn in a week?" Mo Shifu opened his eyes wide and asked, he couldn't earn 10,000 yuan from farming in a year, while his son could earn one-third of it by fishing a week.
"yes, I earned it this week." Mo Changfeng admitted it calmly.
If he wants to earn money through other means, he can earn inexhaustible money in a short period of time, but he is unwilling, it is this kind of money earned through his own hands and through legal means that makes him feel at ease.
Although Mo Shifu didn't ask again, he was still a little worried in his heart, and when his son went out for a walk with his sister at night, he quietly asked his wife: "Is Changfeng fishing really so profitable?" ”
"I'm sure my son won't lie." Wang Juhua said.
"I also know that my son is not like that, but I just think that I can earn hundreds of dollars by fishing every day, which is a little unlikely." Mo Shifu was still a little confused.
"Then why don't you quietly follow your son tomorrow when he is fishing?" As soon as his wife said this, Wang Juhua was also worried, and thought about it and said to Mo Shifu.
"Yes, yes, yes, I should go and see it quietly, otherwise I will never be able to let go of it." Mo Shifu nodded again and again.
After lunch the next day, Mo Changfeng went to Yulong Lake to fish as usual, and soon after he left, Mo Shifu wore a straw hat and quietly followed him to Yulong Lake.
Mo Changfeng didn't know that his father would quietly come to watch him fishing, so he didn't notice that his father was watching him from a distance under a tree on the side of the road.
At half past three, Mo Changfeng's lure rod caught a huge mullet, which immediately caused a sensation around, and many anglers threw down their fishing rods and ran over to see the excitement.
"Damn, the great god is the great god, I'm afraid this mullet weighs more than ten catties."
"Absolutely can't run, at least twelve or thirteen pounds."
"I'll probably never catch this fish in my lifetime."
"I admire Mo Dashen so much, I also use the same lure pole, but it hasn't opened for half a month."
The bustle of the lake also attracted some passing vehicles to stop and watch, including a luxury Daben, on which a middle-aged man with a big back combed came down.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it took Mo Changfeng half an hour to get this mullet up, and he just mentioned it, and he knew that this mullet weighed nearly sixteen catties.
"Great god, is this mullet for sale?" Someone asked.
"Yes, such a big mullet, brother, you can't finish it, sell half of it to me." Someone said on the side.
"Brother, can you give me this mullet? You make an offer. At this time, the middle-aged man who came down from Daben also came over and said.
"Five hundred dollars, who wants to take it?" Mo Changfeng didn't say much, and raised the mullet high with one hand and asked.
The other people around hesitated, after all, five hundred yuan is not a small amount, and there are not many people who can spend this money to buy a fish without hesitation, but the boss who came down from Daben stretched out his hand to answer.
"Brother, I want it."
Subsequently, Daben's driver came over and handed Mo Changfeng 500 yuan, and asked Mo Changfeng to help take the mullet to the tail box of Daben, and after opening it, he found that there was a huge water tank inside, which not only contained water, but also had an oxygen machine.
By five o'clock when Mo Changfeng closed the rod, the river shrimp were sold for another 200 yuan, and other fish were also sold for 200 yuan, and today's harvest was directly 900 yuan, which greatly exceeded the past.
