It's autumn, and the heat is still unabated.

They each ate a lot of fish in the afternoon, and in the evening, everyone was hungry again, and the watermelon poured in the well was almost cool, sweet and refreshing, making people salivate.Take it out and cut it, and eat it facing the evening breeze, and the days will be more pleasant.

They all went back to the helper's spoon, and there were only three apprentices left.

Zhao Danshi was lying on the recliner with Doudou in his arms, and Doudou lay on his waist and abdomen, drinking watermelon juice from time to time, and when he was happy, he would play with his little feet with a smile on his face.

"Master." Liu Erhua approached.

"Huh?" Zhao Shanshi glanced at him lazily, "What's wrong?"

"Well," Liu Erhua was a little embarrassed, "The big brothers in my team said that fields like ours where rice flowers and fish are raised are not suitable for harvesting by machines."

Zhao Dan was puzzled, "It's not suitable for us to catch the fish and drain the water."

Deep trenches were dug in the field, but the width of the trenches was very small, only [-] centimeters, and the machine was completely passable.

Liu Erhua explained, "There is no problem with them. The technology can be achieved, but my elder brother said that some fish will hide in the mud. If the machine is turned on to get in, the fish in the mud will be crushed to death."

The members of the grain harvesting team know that rice flower fish are expensive, and they are worth tens of yuan a catty. If they really bring the machine in, and there are many fish crushed to death in the field, how will they explain it?Even if Zhao Danshi didn't say it on the surface, how could he not feel distressed secretly?

They travel far and wide, are well-informed, and do not want to take risks.

Zhao Danshi frowned slightly.

Embarrassed, Liu Erhua scratched his head, "Why don't I talk to them again? We have so many fields, and it's really troublesome to harvest without machines and rely on manpower."

"They're also reasonable." Zhao Shanshi shook his head, "Forget it, let's cut it ourselves, at worst it will be harder. Help me, thank you brother for reminding me."

"Then Master, should we invite a few more people over?"

"No, the nine of us are here, just cutting [-] acres of grain, and we can come here quickly. You can contact the thresher and ask them to drive to the field. When the time comes, we will send the rice directly to the thresher for threshing."

Although this kind of semi-mechanization is more troublesome than pure machinery, it is safer.

Liu Erhua didn't say much, just nodded and went.

"Master, shall we catch fish tomorrow?" Zhao Mingtai moved a low stool and sat next to Zhao Danshi, "I'll come and help you at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

"No, catching fish is very simple, just catch whatever you want."

The price of rice flower fish is very expensive. The price of rice flower fish on the market is 51 catties. Zhao Danzhi's high-quality rice flower fish raised in their fields can be sold for 55 pounds.Such an expensive price, not many people in the county can afford it.

At that time, it would be a pity to catch so many in the past.

The three apprentices made sure that they would not come to help tomorrow morning, so they went back to sleep with peace of mind, and planned to come over around seven o'clock the next day.

There was dew in the morning, so Li Ping asked Zhao Shanshi to wear a coat because he was afraid that it would be cold.

Zhao Danshi followed behind Li Ping, a little melancholy, "Brother, do you think our fish can be sold?"

Li Ping walked ahead with a bucket, "Go sell it and you'll know?"

"That's what I said, I still worry about it. If such a money-making thing falls into the hands for nothing, it will make people feel distressed."

Zhao Danshi thought for a while, "Wait a while, let's go to the county with the car to sell the fish ourselves. In case we can't sell it, we will catch the rest of the fish and make it into dried fish. I see that those who sell rice flower fish on Taobao The price of dried fish is mostly between 280 and 360, and if it is dried, we can sell it for 360 yuan per catty."

Li Ping responded with a smile, "We will shoot a video tomorrow and also promote our fish."

"Okay. I just didn't eat enough fish yesterday, so let's have another meal tomorrow."

While talking, the two had already reached the field.

Zhao Shanshi found the field where he caught fish yesterday, took out the dustpan he had hidden, then walked to the water outlet of the field ridge, put the dustpan under the field ridge, and dug the water outlet.

The rice field is connected with the ditches, and when the hole blocking the ridge is dug, a large amount of water flows out immediately, and fish that are caught off guard are also flowing out.

"Ah! Brother, hurry up!"

Li Ping pressed the dustpan with his hand, smiled and caught the fish with one hand, and threw it into the bucket.

Zhao Shanshi brought the bucket in front of him, and quickly threw the fish in the dustpan into the bucket one by one.

They brought a total of four buckets over, but within ten minutes, the buckets were already full of fish.

There are all kinds of fish in the bucket, big and small, black and black, and plump fish swim in the bucket, causing splashes of water.

"Enough is enough." Zhao Danshi hurriedly said, "It's almost too late."

Li Ping dug the mud with a hoe to block the water outlet again, and then lifted the dustpan again.

Zhao Danshi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'll go to the water inlet to have a look, and put some water into the field again."

They have water inlets and outlets for each mu of rice. The water inlets are lower than the ditches, and water can only enter but not exit. The outlets are just the opposite.

The four buckets were full of alive and kicking rice flower fish. Zhao Danshi looked down and sighed, "This fish is really fat."

Li Ping laughed, "Didn't you cook fish yesterday? Why do you still look surprised?"

"I just think thanks to the spring water we put in and the cabbage worms we threw, each fish is no bigger than a palm, and the fat ones are all meat, with no bones visible." Zhao Shanshi looked at the bucket Yu, "I'll make more jar fish, it's a pity to sell such fat fish."

Li Ping shook his head with a smile, "I'll pick the fish to the cart."

A load of fish weighed over a hundred catties, and Zhao Dan was not strong enough to carry it.Li Ping could pick it up easily, but Zhao Shanshi was reluctant to pick him up.

The two worked together to move the fish to the cart, and then pulled it to the vegetable field, and sent it to the county town together with the vegetables.

After loading the truck and waiting for the truck driver to deliver the vegetables, Zhao Danshi thumped his lower back, "Brother, I think we have to hurry up and buy a tricycle, it's a waste of time and energy to pull it with a cart every time. "

Li Ping: "I'll go buy it later, anyway, I'm going to the county town to buy a tricycle and come back."

Zhao Danshi smiled at him: "How about we go together?"

Since they invited the four spoons and took in their apprentices, the two of them have basically been liberated. Generally, they have nothing to do and can go for a stroll.

Li Ping agreed, and the two went back and talked to the old man, then drove to the county seat with their pockets in their arms.

There are no interesting places to take photos in the county town, but they are still willing to take a bag with them. They are father and son.There's no harm in getting along.

When DouDou saw that he was about to take the car again, he kicked his legs happily. Zhao Danshi poked his head lightly, "Little idiot, you still can't talk."

Doudou was stabbed so that his head shook, his mouth was flattened, and he suddenly called out, "Da."

Zhao Shanshi looked at Doudou suspiciously, feeling that he had an auditory hallucination.

Doudou looked at him with round eyes, with an innocent face.

"Brother, come here quickly."

"Huh?" Li Ping came over, "What's the matter?"

"Doudou seemed to say a word just now." Zhao Shanshi hesitated, "It seems like he said it?"

Li Ping looked at Doudou for a while, "He should imitate your words, what did you just say?"

"Just say—" Zhao Shanshi repeated what he just said hesitantly, "Little idiot, you still can't speak?"

Li Ping leaned closer to DouDou and said, "Egg?"

Seeing his father's head approaching, Doudou giggled and repeated, "Da!"

"No way? Did he really say shit again?" Zhao Shanshi held his forehead in despair, "After teaching him for so long, the first word he said was shit?!"

Ever since Doudou was able to eat complementary food, Zhao Shanshi would steam him an egg custard from time to time, and he had heard the word egg a lot.

But this is not the reason for him to learn to speak eggs!

How many words "Dad" did Zhao Danshi teach him!

Li Ping smiled and comforted, "It's okay, I can say the first sentence, and then I can speak smoothly in the future."

Zhao Shanshi looked suspiciously at Doudou who was playing with his feet, "This brat won't know that the idiot is a curse, so he deliberately said it?"

"What do you know at such a young age?"

They talked for so long at the gate of the courtyard, the old man heard the movement and came out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"DouDou seems to be able to talk, he just said 'Da'."

"Dah?" The old man was in high spirits, "Good news, let me hear it."

He walked up to him with his hands behind his back, bent down to look at the pockets in the car, and teased him, "Da."

DouDou was very face-saving, and said loudly, "Dah!"

"Doudou, talk about Dad." Zhao Shanshi taught him, "Dad."

Doudou tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then turned her head and fell silent.

"That stinky boy!"

DouDou seemed to say that he was tired, and then he played with his toes and stopped talking

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping had to go to the county town to sell fish, so it was difficult to stop here and wait for him.I can only get in the car and plan to teach him slowly when I get back.

On the way, Zhao Shanshi was particularly aggrieved, "This brat was conceived in Shiyue, but his first word was egg."

Li Ping smiled: "Maybe it was on purpose. You can't call him a little idiot or a little villain in the future, or he will follow suit."

Zhao Shanshi raised his forehead, "Okay, I won't talk about him in the future, just call him Dad."

When the two arrived at the county seat, the fish had already arrived, and Zhao Danshi divided them into eight buckets to prevent the fish from being suffocated to death due to too much fish in each bucket and insufficient oxygen.

The vats were laid out all the way in front of the store, and Zhao Danshi wrote on a piece of cardboard: Daohuayu, 55 yuan a catty.

The regular customers in the store were shopping for vegetables, watching Zhao Danshi dump the vat.

Seeing the price, a middle-aged woman subconsciously blurted out, "Why is it so expensive?"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the store, including herself, laughed.

The woman was embarrassed, "Is this sentence familiar?"

An aunt next to her smiled and said, "It's familiar. Every time something new comes out, you all say this sentence. On the one hand, you think it's expensive, but on the other hand, you can buy it faster than anyone else, and you can't even get in line."

The middle-aged woman didn't take it seriously, and laughed a few times, "Shan Shi, tell us, what is this good thing that sells so expensive?"

"Have you heard of the rice flower fish? This is a rice flower fish specially raised in my field. I haven't given up on the feed for this fish since it was put in the rice field. It grows up eating bugs and rice flowers."

Zhao Danshi vigorously promoted the sale, stretched out his hand and said: "This fish is more delicious than Shantang fish, and it doesn't have any earthy smell. We killed more than a dozen fish yesterday, and even the soup was cleaned up. My apprentice is almost Didn't lick the plate clean."

"It's so delicious?"

"That's right, if it doesn't taste good, you bring the fish back to me, and I'll refund you the full amount." Zhao Danshi looked at a room of customers, "The rice flower fish is the best, if there are any pregnant women and children at home, You can buy one and go back to make soup, fry it in oil, add boiling water to ensure that the soup is stewed milky white, fresh and sweet."

A aunt was moved, "Does this fish soup contain milk?"

Zhao Danshi didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "People say that crucian carp seeds give milk, and I also have crucian carp seeds here, which must be more nourishing than ordinary crucian carp."

"The fish raised in the rice fields are not too big. One of my fish only weighs half a catty. You can buy one for about [-] yuan. If you catch something fresh in the morning, why don't you buy one and try it out?"

"Then I want a crucian carp." The aunt made a decision, "Choose the fat one for me."

"All the fish here are fat and chubby. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. Is this one okay?" Zhao Danshi picked out a vigorous fish for her.

After the fish was caught, it was still struggling.

When Aunt Zhao saw the fish, she couldn't help but said, "Okay, just this one! You weigh it for me."

Zhao Danshi checked the scales neatly, "Seven taels, 38 yuan five, I'll charge you 38 yuan, regular customers have a discount, and I'll give you two green onions."

"It's so good, then I'll buy two to try. Is your fish specially used for soup?"

"That's not true. Braised, stewed, or steamed, it's all delicious. The main thing is that my fish is good! You'll know when you go back and try it. The meat is like garlic cloves. The pieces of meat are snow-white and melt in the mouth. There is no fishy smell." No, only umami remains."

"Is it really as good as you say?"

"That's right! I'll have to grab a few more tomorrow. Just tell me, I've been doing business here for so long, when have I ever lied to someone?"

"That's not it."

Many customers have been waiting and watching. Occasionally someone will come to buy a fish or two. Zhao Danshi is not in a hurry, so he just sits there by the bucket, making a teasing sound from time to time.

DouDou seems to have no interest in talking, playing with himself and ignoring his father.

Zhao Shanshi was afraid that the fish would die from lack of oxygen, so he changed the water from time to time.

His good fish is a good thing, but the price is indeed a bit expensive, and the fish is finally sold out after noon.

Huang Shumei looked at them from the side, admiringly said: "I guess the whole county has more good things than our store."

"I think so." Zhao Danshi smiled, "Auntie, you close the shop, come back in the afternoon. We're going to eat too."

There are still some vegetables in the shop that are not sold out, and Huang Shumei has to come and watch all afternoon.

"Okay, then I'll close the shop and go back."

Zhao Danshi waved at her, and the two went to eat with their pockets.

Zhao Danshi wanted to eat Guilin rice noodles, so the two found an old shop and ordered a bowl of rice noodles.

Doudou couldn't eat anything, so he could only hold his own milk bottle, smelling the aroma while feeling greedy.His eyes were fixed on Zhao Danshi's mouth the whole time, and whenever the rice noodles disappeared into Zhao Danshi's mouth, he showed a little disappointed expression.

Zhao Shanshile waved the rice noodles in front of him, teasing him with all his might, but refused to let him eat.

DouDou was annoyed by teasing, turned around and pointed his butt at him.

Li Ping laughed and said, "Why do you keep messing with your son?"

"No reason, just to tease him."

After eating rice noodles, the two went to the car dealership to buy a tricycle. They had a lot of money, so they didn't need to look at it. They just chose the big brand and the one with the best quality. The car was sent to their village.

Both of them have driver's licenses, but for tricycles, car driver's licenses are not very practical, and they have to practice a little at home to drive.

There are too many people in the county town, there is no way to practice the car, so I have to send the car back.

Zhao Shanshi said with emotion, "I said before that I wanted to buy a truck, but now it seems that a tricycle is enough. It happens that the roads in the countryside are narrow, so if we drive a truck, we may not be able to drive it."

Li Ping: "The driver's license for trucks is different. If we drive a truck, we have to take another driver's license test."

There is no need for a driver's license for a tricycle, and two people can drive it casually. It happens that this car drives slowly, and it is safer to only drive in the countryside.

After they went back, they found that there was an unexpected visitor at home.

Wang Dada, the head of the village next door, was in the yard. It seemed that he had been waiting in their yard for a long time.

The old man was chatting with him, and when he saw the two coming in, the old man beckoned them over quickly, "Didn't you say you wanted buns? Da Da came to talk to you in detail."

Li Ping and Zhao Danshi nodded to Wang Dada, Zhao Danshi greeted with a smile, "Uncle Dada."

Li Ping had a talk with Wang Dada once, but they didn't agree, mainly because the price he said was too expensive.

Knowing that they were interested, the village chief kept pushing them, thinking that they would sign the contract as soon as they were willing to accept the price of 43 yuan. Unexpectedly, within two days, they heard that Zhao Huayong was also looking for them.

Wang Dada thought that if he insisted on this price, maybe Li Ping would give up the mountain in their village, so he hurried to find Li Ping, wanting to fight for it.

Now it's Li Bing's turn and they are not in a hurry.

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping knew what each other was thinking from a glance.

Li Ping took the sleeping Doudou from Zhao Shanshi's arms, and put him on the small bed.

"Uncle Da Da, drink tea."

"Don't drink anymore. I've been drinking tea all morning. I came here this time mainly to talk to you about the mountain buns. Didn't you say you wanted to bag the mountains in our village? Is there any intention now? ?”

Zhao Danshi refilled his water with a smile, "There is intention, but you have to tell us the price first. As for me, let me tell you the truth, our village has already given me the bottom line. If I pay us The mountain in the village costs only 28 yuan per mu of land.”

Wang Dada was speechless, "Why is it so cheap?"

Zhao Shanshi smiled: "Isn't this mountain put there? If we wrap it up, we can reuse it. We just want to grow something on the mountain, which just promotes greening."

Wang Dada shook his head, "That's what I said, but the price of the mountain is there, and 28 yuan is too low."

"I don't think anyone else wants to make a mountain in the short term. Let alone a mountain, everyone's fields are lost. If you don't lease it to us, it will be worthless. If you think it's low, we can sign for a shorter period of time." For a small contract, such as 20 years, 40 years, etc., if the value is high at that time, we will increase the price appropriately to ensure that both parties will not lose money."

Wang Dada pondered, "28 is not good, 28 is too low. I am sincere, and you are also sincere. Tell me, how many mountains do you want to cover, and how much is the lowest price you can accept?"

Li Pingdao: "32, at this price, I can rent out several nearby hills."

"Which ones?"

"Ya Mountain, Bone Mountain, Huawu Mountain, Forest Mountain and Dog Climbing Mountain, there are five in total. Adding and subtracting, the total is almost a thousand acres."

Thousands of acres, tens of thousands of yuan a year, ten years that is several 10 yuan!When Wang Dada heard this, hesitation was evident in his eyes.

The amount of money for their land parcels is paid once every ten years. If the land parcels are really sold out, the villagers will get a lot of money during his tenure.

"Think about it, hundreds of thousands of dollars in ten years. If we pay for 30 years, the village will have millions of dollars. This is all your achievements. Why don't you go back and call the villagers to talk about it? I guess If they can share the money, they will not be unwilling."

"But 32, this price is too low! 35!" Wang Dada gritted his teeth, "You have to be sincere, 35 per mu, I will help you negotiate."

"A small amount makes a lot, not to mention that there should be discounts for large quantities, right? Even if we do business, if the quantity is large, we will also give you a discount. If you sell the mountain bag, you can also give us a discount."

"That's what I said, but I can't explain the price to the town! You also know that the price of the mountains in our village has been marked down in the town, just to prevent us from filling our own pockets. The price of 35 is hard to say. , let alone 32."

"It's hard work for those who can. You go talk to the town. I know that the county is attracting investment everywhere. We will register a company before Baoshan. When the time comes, even if we come to invest, you can help us talk about it. Maybe we will return It can drive the economic development of the region and solve the employment problem by the way.”

"Okay, I'll ask, but I can't guarantee it."

Zhao Danshi responded with a smile, "Okay, we'll wait for you for a week, and after a week, we'll have to consider signing with people from our own village."

Wang Dada gritted his teeth, "I see. I'll go and find out for you first. If it really doesn't work, I'll try to get the price to the lowest."

"Hey, sorry for the inconvenience, we will wait for your good news." Zhao Shanshi promised, "If the contract is negotiated, we will give you cash, and we can give it for ten or ten years."

Wang Dada stood up, "Okay, I won't drink tea, you wait for my good news."
