For a while, Shun Niang couldn't explain clearly, so she didn't bother to explain in detail, she just said that bean sprouts can be sold as vegetables for money.

With such a good thing, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi were certainly moved, but Mrs. Liu kept asking how Shunniang knew about this business. After all, they never knew that such vegetables could be sold.Shunniang said that she saw it in Bianliang City, Yangliu Town is not yet fashionable here, anyway, try it first, if it works, my mother and sister-in-law can make it at home, she took the raw Just sell the bean sprouts.In this way, even if you don't fish, you can still make money, but you have to work hard for your mother and sister-in-law.

Both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi said that if they could stay at home, they could make money, and it was hard work. They were very interested in growing bean sprouts, and they asked Shunniang to teach them how to do it.

Shunniang agreed, so the three of them went to the kitchen together. Mrs. Qi boiled a pot of warm water according to Shunniang's request. Shunniang found two large porcelain bowls and poured half a catty of soybeans and mung beans into it...

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi stared at Shunniang the whole time, watching her how to do it and asking how the bean sprouts would grow. Shunniang said that she would show them step by step, and when they did it themselves, they would be ready.

The next day was when Shunniang was going to the city to sell firewood. Shuniang thought about it before going to bed, and mixed some fish food and bait. She planned to get up at Yinshi tomorrow morning (3 o'clock) and then go to the river to make a nest It is a peak feeding period for fish in the river to catch fish in the time period after Mao o'clock tomorrow morning.She thought, Zhao Sanlang just saw that he went fishing in the afternoon, but he didn't know that he could actually go fishing in the morning, right?Especially in summer, the fish in the river are easier to catch during the time period from 6:8 am to [-]:[-] am. She was still not reconciled to being destroyed by Zhao Sanlang this afternoon and not catching any fish.

Mrs. Liu saw that she was mixing fish food, so she asked her if she would go fishing tomorrow, and Shun Niang told her that she planned to go out at Yinshi tomorrow morning to catch some fish, then chop a load of firewood, and then go to the city.It's just that she was afraid of falling asleep, so she asked Mrs. Liu to call her.

"Okay, go to sleep, my mother will call you when the time comes." Mrs. Liu agreed, telling her to go to sleep quickly.

At about Yinshi the next day, Mrs. Liu really woke up Shunniang. Shunniang got up and took all the things prepared last night out of the house.

It was the darkest time of day, and Shunniang was still a little scared when she went out of the house, after all, she had never been out at night since she came here.At any rate, she has an ax and a stick for picking firewood, so if she encounters some bad guys, she won't be helpless.

But when she got to the river, she didn't see a single person. Instead, she met many wild dogs. She waved the stick in her hand, and the dogs didn't dare to approach them, barking a few times and running away.Relying on the memory of the place where the nest was made by the river, Shunniang took advantage of the last quarter moon in the sky to walk in the dark to the place where she used to go fishing in the nest, took out a piece of candle, lit a flint, and ignited it with tinder. In order to light a candle, put it in a windproof earth hollow under your feet.Then she went down to the nest and sprinkled fish food, and when she was done, she blew out the candles and sat and waited in the dark.

Usually at this time, she was sleeping soundly at home, and she would be extremely sleepy if she woke up, but now she felt very awake and full of energy, not to mention the mosquitoes in the grass by the river were too irritating for her to lie down and close her eyes to wait for the fishing rod. The hour has come.

Slapping the mosquitoes, Shunniang arranged the things to do today in order of priority, and she had a plan in her mind.

The sky was getting brighter, and soon it was time to get down the fishing rod. Shun Niang cast down the fishing line and concentrated on fishing.Today was very smooth, within an hour, Shunniang caught seven fish one after another, three big carps over a foot long, and four palm-sized ones that were slightly smaller, which made Shunniang very happy.She put all these fish into the fish basket, hid them in the aquatic plants on the shore, and then went up the mountain to cut firewood.After chopping a load of firewood and going down the mountain, she went to take the fish basket out of the water plants and carried it home.

After returning home, she took out the smallest one from the fish basket and gave it to her sister-in-law. She asked her to cook the fish into fish soup, and then bought some tofu to stew together.

Mrs. Qi took the fish with a smile, but Ke Cheng jumped up and down, clapping his hands while jumping up and down, shouting: "Today there is a big fish to eat!"

Like a kitten, he stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to sniff the fish, and circled his mother's hand holding the fish, making Shunniang and Qi Shi giggle.

Mrs. Liu laughed when she saw it, but she said to Shun Niang: "Take this fish into the city and buy it, don't waste your money."

Shun Niang smiled and said: "Today we caught a lot of fish, this one is not bad, let's eat stewed fish today."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter was happy and her grandson was also happy. After thinking about it, she gave up.

Shunniang hurriedly finished her meal, and went into the kitchen to take out the soaked soybeans and mung beans last night, and put them into two wicker baskets covered with clean sackcloth, and then asked her mother to find a dark one. The old clothes came out, cut, washed, and hung on the two wicker baskets where the soybeans and mung beans were placed.She carried the two baskets into the firewood room and placed them on the stone slab where she used to bathe. She also found two large porcelain plates and placed them on top of them.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi asked Shunniang why they put a plate on it, and Shunniang said it was to make the bean sprouts grow stronger.Just like people picking things, compared with picking light things and heavy things, over time, the person who picks heavy things must be stronger and stronger.

When Shunniang said that, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi understood.

She also told the old lady and sister-in-law to water it after a few hours to keep the cloth covering the beans damp.Now she has watered it, and then watered it when she comes back in the afternoon, and watered it before going to bed at night. Be careful not to let the bean sprouts see the light.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi were dubious, saying it was so simple, could it be all right?

Shun Niang said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, let's see in four or five days."

After making arrangements for the production of bean sprouts, Shunniang went into the city with a load of bundled dry firewood and a fish basket in her hand.Today, because she only cut a load of firewood, she entered the city earlier than usual, and when she passed by Xie’s butcher’s shop, she was stopped by Xie Yi, who first asked him if she was going to the city to sell firewood and fish ?

Shun Niang said yes.

Xie Yi said cheerfully: "Then you get rid of your things and come back earlier. My wife and I will go to your house to see your mother and Xi's family in the afternoon. Thank you for saving my second mother." , you'd better be at home, when do you think you can come back?"
