Chapter 70 The happiness of the sea king, she has not yet realized
After a while, Su Yue gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job. I'll add chicken drumsticks for you tonight."
The long right creature, which had been praised by its master, returned to space with its four legs standing upright.
A few days later, in the middle of winter, the first light snow fell, and the river had not yet frozen.
The pond was dug and water was diverted from the river.
Su Yue is preparing to stock fish fry.
When the villagers got the news, they gathered around the pond early in the morning to watch the excitement.
Li Zheng and his fifth uncle also came.
"It's hard to raise fish in this winter, right?"
"I heard that the best time to stock fish fry is in spring. Isn't it a waste of money for Sanlang's wife?"
The fifth uncle was quite worried and asked Xiao Sanlang in a low voice, "Sanlang, what good ideas does your wife have?"
Xiao Sanlang looked towards the front, Su Yue standing on the edge of the pond.
She was holding a large fishing net and asked Xiao Changgui to lead someone down to lower the net.
Bathed in the early morning sunshine, she looked focused and gentle, completely different from the coquettish and naive person she had been after a few days of drunkenness.
Xiao Sanlang's eyes darkened slightly as he thought of his foolish behavior and the words he said when he was drunk.
He looked away and answered the fifth uncle vaguely, "You'll find out later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yue had already opened four large wooden boxes.
Everyone looked around, and when they saw clearly what was in the box, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
There are four big boxes, all filled with water.
The first box was full of fish as thick as an arm, each weighing a pound.
The second box was full of fish as big as half the size of a hand.
The fish in the third box are smaller, and the last box is full of young fry.
The most surprising thing is not this, but:
"Oh my God, what kind of fish is this? Why is its head red?"
"And this kind of fish, why is its head so big?"
"Why is this fish so flat?"
"I haven't seen this yellow fish before. I heard that people who live by the sea often eat these fish?"
Brother Yu was even more curious and circled around the box, sometimes touching the red-headed fish and sometimes poking the fat-headed fish. He felt that his eyes were not enough.
"Mom, where did you buy these fry?"
"Mom, can you eat all these fish?"
The little guy kept asking questions with his small mouth.
Su Yue nodded, "Well, I can eat whatever I asked someone to buy."
When she opened the wooden box for the first time, she was shocked.
The four boxes contained almost all the fish that could be eaten, including all kinds of fish from rivers, lakes and seas.
Although she knew that there was no need to worry about the fry, she was still worried when she saw this.
"I only have a pond. Are you sure you can support so many kinds of fish?"
Chang You Niu gestured angrily for a long time.
The white tiger couldn't stand it anymore and came out to translate for her: "It said that fish are also members of the animal kingdom. As long as it and its owner are around, they will automatically come to the pond and surrender."
Su Yue: "..."
Understand, it's just like the prey in the mountains that come and hit the tree, it's the one who surrenders.
So don’t worry about feeding it or not.
The white tiger spoke very proudly, "Master, with our help, when we hunt, we will be the hunting kings, when we raise fish, we will be the fish kings, and when we go to sea, we will be the kings of the sea!"
Su Yue: "......"
She cannot experience Neptune's happiness.
"Sanlang's wife!"
Su Yue came back to her senses and met the worried eyes of her fifth uncle.
"The fish in this box weighs more than a pound, right? Can they be kept alive in a pond?"
Su Yue nodded, "Yes, I can survive."
The fifth uncle felt that there was little hope, so he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "You can eat more than a kilogram directly. It would be a pity if you die in the pond."
Li Zheng asked Xiao Sanlang in a low voice: "Where did your wife get the fish fry from the sea? The fish in the sea will definitely not survive in the pond."
He is not as ignorant as the villagers, and he can recognize some fish as sea fish at a glance.
Xiao Sanlang looked at these fish, his eyes flashing slightly.
Inexplicable appearances of water monsters, tigers, orchids, various fish...
How many secrets does she have?
Li Zheng continued: "Please advise your wife to take more than a kilogram of fish to the town and sell it."
"You can still sell it for a good price while it's fresh. Marine fish is very valuable."
"If they are all left in a pond to die, isn't this a waste of money?"
Xiao Sanlang smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Li Zheng for your kindness. I'll have to give it a try whether it works or not."
When Li Zheng saw that he did not listen to his advice, he stamped his feet and sighed anxiously.
Young people are still too crazy and never listen to advice.
I hope they won't cry when the fish dies in the pond.
Brother Yu was still fishing for the small fish happily, "Mom, when the small fish grow up, can we give one to each of our uncles and uncles who helped dig the pond, and take them home to try?"
Su Yue curled her lips and said, "Okay."
The workers who helped dig the pond were very happy and thanked them repeatedly.
The other people in the village were filled with envy and jealousy.
Some people who wanted to work but were not hired whispered sarcastic words:
"It's so loud. These big fish may die in two days and they won't be able to survive at all."
"I just heard Uncle Li Zheng say that there are sea fish in here."
"Marine fish? Raising marine fish in the pond, is Su a fool?"
Those people looked at Su Yue and immediately looked at him with a sense of schadenfreude.
"Su has become a celebrity in our county, and she's starting to lose her temper."
"The county magistrate rewarded me with fifty taels of silver. If you have money, you can burn it."
When Xiao Sanlang heard these words, his cold eyes swept over the gossipers one by one.
The women were a little afraid of Xiao Sanlang's gaze and shrank back in disbelief.
Suddenly there was a sneer from the crowd.
"Bah, what are you pretending to be? I think the fish in this pond will die in two days, and then they will all stink in the pond."
Su Yue looked up and saw Mrs. Zhao with a gloomy face, staring at the fish in the box, wishing those fish would die immediately.
She curled her lips and was about to speak, but Li Zheng was dissatisfied and began to reprimand Ms. Zhao.
"If you can't speak, go home and don't cause trouble with others here."
Mrs. Sun put her hands on her hips and spat at Mrs. Zhao, "Mrs. Zhao, if I were you, I wouldn't have the shame to come out to see people and raise a son who is a disaster to the village. How can you have the face to spit shit here?"
The Sun family's man, Qian Butcher, has made a lot of money these days by helping Su Yue kill prey.
Whoever scolded Su Yue, Sun was the first to refuse.
She glared coldly at those who said slanderous words and sneered:
"Just wait. When my brothers and sisters come out to kill fish in a few days, I will paste your mouths with fish poop."
The other family members of the workers who helped dig the pond also criticized Zhao.
During the month they helped Su Yue dig a pond, the family earned at least one tael of silver.
"If Sanlang's wife can dig such a big pond, she can definitely raise fish."
"Mrs. Zhao, what is a divorced aunt of yours doing here?"
"If I were you, I would hurry home and take a look. Don't wait until there is nothing left at home and weep all the time."
Mrs. Zhao followed everyone's gaze and turned around to look back.
