"Didn't you go to a meeting? How did you get here? Grandpa Lin Xi saw Lin Xi walk to his side and motioned for her to walk lightly.

Grandpa Lin Xi was teaching Yu Shuigen and his family to fish for stone crabs by the Qingshui River, and he and Yu Shuigen each took a small bamboo pole and sat on a big stone by the river and waited quietly for the stone crab to take the bait.

"You ......"

"Haha, another one!"

As soon as Lin Xi spoke, her grandfather laughed and caught a stone crab into the pot.

"You've caught a dozen of them, why can't we catch any of them?"

"That's it, you don't even come to bite the hook, it's really annoying, you won't bully us into being outsiders, right?"

Yu Shuigen and his wife were a little anxious.

"Grandpa Yu, Grandma Yu, this stone crab fishing is my grandfather's unique skill, and no one in the entire Clear Water Bay can catch my grandfather." Only then did Lin Xi understand that his grandfather said at the dinner table that he wanted to teach Yu Shuigen and his wife the unique skill, which was the unique skill of fishing for stone crabs, and he felt that his grandfather was a person with great wisdom.

Stone crab, a common aquatic product in the mountain stream at the foot of Daming Mountain, looks little different from ordinary sea crabs and river crabs, but the size is generally very small, smaller than the normal white jade crab in the sea.

In the past, when the living conditions were poor, the villagers in Qingshuiwan would go down to the river to catch stone crabs to eat, but now basically no one catches them, because they are too small and there is not much meat.

Lin Xi knew that the reason why his grandfather taught Yu Shuigen to fish for stone crabs was because of his own considerations.

Yu Shuigen and his wife like Qingshui Bay from the bottom of their hearts, and it is the wish of the two old people to be able to live in Qingshui Bay for the rest of their lives, but they have no foundation for life, that is, all kinds of foundations for living in Qingshui Bay.

Yu Shuigen has a retirement salary, but Grandma Yu Qing does not, in order to raise Yu Qing and Yu Shui, the twin sisters, Yu Qing's grandmother has been busy at home. When Yu Qing and Yu Shui grew up, she herself was already over half a hundred years old.

Of course, Yu Shuigen's retirement salary is enough for the old couple to spend their old age in peace, and they are already frugal. But now in Clear Water Bay, the old couple wants to live in Clear Water Bay for the rest of their lives, and they have to integrate into the lives of the villagers in Clear Water Bay.

Go to work in an embroidery factory like Meng Dayun's mother? Grandma Yu Qing can only do needlework, and Yu Shuigen can only hold a gun.

Rent a piece of land to grow vegetables and sweet potatoes? Yu Shuigen's old couple is over eighty years old, and it is okay to take a walk in the field, but it is impossible to turn over the soil and carry water to farm.

Follow Grandpa Lin Xi to set up a roasted sweet potato stall? It's still unrealistic, not to mention whether Yu Shuigen's old couple can afford to eat it, they don't have ready-made ingredients, if they buy sweet potatoes from the villagers to roast, the cost is too high, and it is estimated that there is not much money to make. Now the sweet potatoes in Clear Water Bay are sold, and even the sweet potatoes grown in the surrounding towns are sent to the sweet potato processing factory in Clear Water Bay.

Sitting by the river fishing for stone crabs, leisurely but can make money, can there be such a best of both worlds is more suitable for Yu Shuigen's old couple? Of course, the premise is not to make much money, but to have something to do.

"Lin Xi, isn't this stone crab going down to the river to catch it with tools, and it's easier to catch it?" Yu Qing didn't know when he stood by Lin Xi's side and watched his grandparents fishing for stone crabs.

"Sister Qing, you don't understand this, my grandfather taught Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu to fish for stone crabs not to eat, but to sell them to medicinal herb dealers to make money, so you must fish instead of catching them with tools." Lin Xi explained.

"Stone crabs can be used as medicinal herbs? Are you sure? Tell me about it. Yu Qing became interested.

"Sister Qing, this stone crab belongs to the freshwater product of the same origin as medicine and food, and it is called [Zonghengzi] in Chinese herbal medicine, which belongs to the liver and kidney meridians, and is cold, and has the effect of invigorating blood and relieving pain, eliminating stasis and dispersing healing. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" is clear that it can be used for damp heat jaundice, postpartum stasis and abdominal pain, musculoskeletal injury, carbuncle and boils, as well as lacquer sores and burns. The medicinal value of the stone crab in our Clear Water Bay is more obvious, and the purchase price of medicinal herb dealers is very high. Lin Xi took out his mobile phone and searched for Yu Qing to see.

"It seems that there are things in the mountains and underground rivers in Qingshuiwan that can be used as medicinal materials, so why does this stone crab have to be caught instead of using tools?" Yu Qing's curiosity was even stronger.

"Since it is going to become medicine, there must be something to be paid attention to. The value of this stone crab in medicine lies in its internal organs, which must be intact as a medicinal stone crab. If you catch it with a tool, the stone crab will definitely have to escape, and if you have to struggle in the process of being caught, the internal organs will definitely be damaged, and then it will lose its medicinal value. "Lin Xi's head is the Tao.

"Well, no wonder your grandfather gently put it in the wooden basin after catching the stone crab." Yu Qing was thoughtful.

"In addition to how to make the stone crab easy to hook, how to put the stone crab into the pot after catching it is very particular, and it must be done with stable gestures, accurate and fast speed." Lin Xi was happy to see that his grandfather had caught another stone crab.

"No wonder your grandfather said it was a unique job, hey, since you can make money, why don't the villagers fish?" Yu Qing asked Lin Xi a new question.

"Didn't you say it yourself? It's a unique job, and it requires more patience, and now that everyone is so impetuous, who wants to spend the whole day waiting for an uncertain result? Lin Xi smiled meaningfully at Yu Qing.

"That's right, everyone is too realistic and utilitarian now. Lin Xi, I didn't expect you to have research on such a small stone crab. Yu Qing admired Lin Xi even more in his heart.

"Sister Qing, if you want to really develop Clear Water Bay, you must know all the grass, trees, soil and water in Clear Water Bay, and know what can be used for me and which needs to be resolutely protected? What can be developed should be fully utilized to make it produce maximum benefits. What cannot be developed must be strictly protected, and the slightest thing cannot be moved. Lin Xi looked at the green mountains.

"Lin Xi, I really used to treat you as a 'little chicken' with solemnity, it seems that you are the best person who can really lead the villagers of Qingshuiwan to become prosperous. However, the solemn proposal to develop the 'auspicious eight treasures' of Clear Water Bay and the model of operating in the form of mutual assistance with cooperatives as the carrier is worth continuing to implement. Yu Qing thought of what to say, she had no reservations about Lin Xi.

"Sister Qing, if I come back to build Clear Water Bay, I will definitely not simply develop the 'Auspicious Eight Treasures', and simply engage in mutual aid operation." Lin Xi sat down on a big rock by the river.

"Is there a problem with the 'Auspicious Eight Treasures'? Isn't it okay to operate in a mutual-aid manner? Yu Qing sat down beside Lin Xi.

"Sister Qing, do you remember which eight treasures are the 'Auspicious Eight Treasures' proposed by Brother Yan?" Lin Xi asked Yu Qing rhetorically.

"Of course, I remember that the 'auspicious eight treasures' solemnly proposed are your [sweet potato], [moso bamboo], [Chinese herbal medicine], [clear spring water], [alpine fruit], [alpine rice], as well as [double needle embroidery] and [fire stone house] unique to your Clear Water Bay."

"He said that this 'auspicious eight treasures' is unique to our Clear Water Bay? Hehe. Lin Xi laughed out loud.

"Isn't it?" Yu Qing didn't understand why Lin Xi was laughing?

"Sister Qing, none of these eight treasures are unique to our Clear Water Bay, you count your fingers and think about it, which one is unique to our Clear Water Bay?" Lin Xi picked up a small pebble on the ground.

"Sweet potatoes, somewhere else. Moso bamboo, other places have. Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese herbal medicine is not unique to Clear Water Bay? Yu Qing was a little excited.

"Sister Qing, how can Chinese herbs only be available in Qingshuiwan? It can only be said that the quality of some Chinese herbal medicines in Clear Water Bay is better than that of similar Chinese herbs in other places. Lin Xi played with the pebbles in his hand.

"Oh, isn't that clear spring water only available in Clear Water Bay?" Yu Qing showed an excited look after being lost.

"The water quality is more than our clear spring water." Lin Xi still lowered his head and played with the pebbles.

"There are also mountains with the same type of alpine fruits and rice, and alas, all that remains is double-needle embroidery and burnt stone houses." Yu Qing was very disappointed.
