Seeing the two people sitting side by side, Chen Qiaoer hurried over and squeezed in between them.
"Brother and sister-in-law, we are a family, please let me sit together."
All right.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei felt that her sister, now just like her daughter, had become a stumbling block for her and Cui Hongyu to go further. It seemed that Zhang Carpenter had to be urged to hurry up about the bed.
After Chen Qiaoer settled down, Cui Hongyu said, "The patch of grass at my husband's door has been almost eaten by donkeys and sheep. What should we do in the future?"
How to do it?
Chen Xiaobei thought of his previous life. The sheep in the countryside were basically free-range. They would be let out on the grass and rushed back when they were full.
However, I don't have that much time now, so I have to leave this task to Chen Qiaoer.
Although I love her very much, I still have to let her receive labor education from an early age.
"Qiao'er, from now on, you can go graze the sheep, okay? It will be in the open space at the entrance of the village."
Instead of refusing, Chen Qiaoer seemed very excited, "Okay, okay, Qiaoer can work for my brother."
Look, people are so aware.
But this method can be used in summer and autumn. If it comes to heavy snow in winter and the door is closed, where will he eat grass? So he has to prepare some fodder for the winter. After all, Chen Ping will also bring the donkeys in the village in two days.
It's not an easy task to get a car and raise two donkeys.
"Hongyu, if we have time, we have to prepare some grass for the donkeys, otherwise we won't have anything to eat in the winter."
Cui Hongyu frowned, "Everyone is using the donkey cart in the village, why do we have to prepare our own grass!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "Okay, we don't care about this."
While he was talking, a figure flashed in the distance, and Beginning of Winter was coming. He was holding a fishing rod, ready to fish. After unloading the fishing rod, he also came over to say hello.
"Xiaobei, you guys got up so early."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "The early bird catches the worm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate. There seemed to be no such words in this era.
Fortunately, the meaning of this sentence was very straightforward. Lidong couldn't help but laugh, "I really don't see how you can make sense. You're right. How many fish did you catch today?"
As he spoke, he stretched his head on the barrel and saw Chen Xiaobei catching the pair of big fish. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"My dear, you are doing something serious. If this fish gives birth to babies, it will cost you tens of thousands of them. But you have to watch out and don't let this big fish turn around and eat your babies."
One sentence reminded Chen Xiaobei.
Although he never had a fish pond at home, he raised goldfish when he was a child.
The guy gave birth to a large amount of eggs, but then the fish turned around and ate the seeds he had produced.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei decided to adopt a local method.
That is to isolate the female fish and raise it alone.
And you need to observe it frequently. Once you find that it starts to lay eggs, you should observe it at any time until the spawning is completed. Immediately take out the big fish and put them in the fish pond, and let these small fry grow freely for a few days.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei secretly decided to take this fish home and raise it in a water tank at home.
This way you can observe at any time.
But then I thought about it, if I bring in two more pregnant fish, how can one tank be enough?
Yes, we need to get a few more water tanks. Then, I will go to the city tomorrow and get a few more water tanks and come back.
While I was thinking about this, suddenly the reed trembled.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly stood up, jumped into the river, and quickly pulled the fishing net until it was almost level with the water.
Inside was another big fish over a foot long.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qiaoer couldn't help but clapped her hands and cheered, "Okay, okay, brother has caught another big fish."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lidong, who was fishing next to him, ran over again with an envious look on his face.
When I saw a big fish one foot long in the net, I couldn't help but shed tears of envy from the corner of my mouth.
"Brother Xiaobei, this network of yours is amazing. Where did you buy it?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Brother Lidong, you can't buy this. I made it myself."
After hearing this, Lidong's face showed a hint of hesitation. Finally, he rubbed his nose and said, "Well, brother, can you discuss something and make one for me? I, I'll give you money.
"
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while, "Brother Lidong, I can make you a fishing net. I don't want your money, but I want to put forward a condition, that is, you can keep the big fish to eat or sell them yourself, but the small fry
You have to put it in the fish pond for me."
Upon hearing this condition, Lidong was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
"It's easy to talk, I only want big fish that are one foot long, and I will put in all the fish that are less than half a foot long."
"Okay, then I'll make one for you."
Watching Lidong leave with satisfaction, Chen Xiaobei secretly calculated that one fishing net with ten large pieces could be used to make two or three umbrella nets.
Beginning of winter has begun, but if you don't keep everything, people will come to you later to ask for it.
Since we're going to town tomorrow, let's buy some more fishing nets and bring them back.
After doing this calculation, Chen Xiaobei felt a little distressed. The sum of one fishing net was not a small amount.
All the money earned in the past has been handed over to Cui Hongyu. What he eats cannot be spit out again, so he has to find a way to make money.
The easiest way is of course to go to Hulu Valley and get two ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
At three o'clock in the day, Chen Xiaobei's fishing work was over. After a whole morning of hard work, he caught four big fish, a dozen half-foot-long fish, and countless small fry.
Four big fish can be taken to be sold for money tomorrow, and the rest can be put into the fish pond at home.
After returning home and having a simple breakfast, Chen Xiaobei took two bags and headed into the mountains.
The village guards on duty saw him entering the mountain and greeted him warmly.
"There are ferocious beasts on Changshan Mountain in Xiaobei, so be careful."
"Chief Xiaobei, do you want us to follow you and protect you?"
Xiaobei declined everyone's kindness and said with a smile, "I will go to the mountain temple. I won't be able to walk very far. I will be back soon."
Entering the mountains, Chen Xiaobei was familiar with the road and began to climb up.
When he arrived at the Mountain Temple, he consciously stopped and looked around. Everything was normal. There were no traces of many people staying here, which may mean that Sun Jian did not stay near the Mountain Temple yesterday.
Everything was normal here, but when he came to Hulu Valley, he realized that something was wrong.
Although he had not counted how many ginseng there were in Calabash Valley.
But every time he dug ginseng, he would carefully backfill and compact it with the soil he brought out.
But now the soil has been turned over in several places.
This means someone has been here.
It seems that Hulu Valley has been exposed.
Chen Xiaobei's heart tightened.
What the other party took away was either ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum.
Although this Calabash Valley is not yours and anyone can come, but in these days and times, there are only so many resources, and whoever grabs them belongs to him.
So grabbing resources has become an urgent matter for him.
