Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

With everyone's participation, harvesting the two rice fields was a piece of cake. When the sun set in the west, soon the golden rice stalks in the fields lay on the ground, and the grains had been packed into sacks.

"We're going back now. Qinghan, please help make a wish and return the rice." Village Chief Gu said goodbye to everyone and left, leaving his eldest son behind.

"I want to help Miss Xuyuan, too."

Gu Qingming was a frequent visitor to Xuyuan's home, so Village Chief Gu let his youngest son go.

"Make a wish, and we'll leave first."

"Sister Xuyuan, I'm leaving first."

Everyone greeted each other, helped clean up the spilled rice in the fields, and then dispersed.

"Let's go. I'll help you push it." Gu Qinghan pulled the handle of the cart familiarly. There was a slight slope from the ridge to the path, so he used a little force.

"Brother, let me help you, be careful." Li Junyong saw it and helped push from behind.

"Okay, there will be no problem next time, you can go back first."

"Okay, then I'll go first, you take your time." Li Junyong patted his brother's shoulder, said hello to Guozi Xuanyi and the others, and then chased in the direction his parents went.

Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi took out the awning they had made in the morning and placed it under the shade of the tree. They also packed up the remaining tool fish and placed them on top of the sack.

"Let's go, it's all done."

……

"Wow, so many dried fish." Gu Qingming, the kid running in front, saw the shelves outside the yard full of dried fish hanging, his big eyes lit up instantly.

"These are the fish caught from the rice fields. They are all here. I don't think there are many." Xuanyi puffed out his chest proudly and answered confidently.

"Wow, I don't want to imagine what a happy little kid I would be if all those fish went into my mouth. Wow!"

Gu Qingming walked forward and touched the somewhat dry fish meat, his mouth watering.

Gu Qinghan was also opened his eyes when he saw the large bowl of dried fish.

These two brothers love eating fish, and Xu Yuan can see that.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have just arrived here and run to the river every day.

"Don't be so joking. You can't eat it now. When you can eat it, I'll give you a few."

"Really? Thank you, Sister Xuyuan. To be honest, the fish that Sister Xuyuan dries is really delicious. It has a special fragrance. Especially after it is stir-fried with chili peppers, it is really delicious."

When Gu Qingming heard Xu Yuan say this, he jumped up and clapped excitedly.

"Sister Xuyuan, don't worry. My family has already planned to dig a fish pond and raise fish. Then there will be a steady supply of fish. I guarantee that they will all be fat and big and given to you."

"what?"

"Gu Qinghan, is this true? Why is it so sudden?"

"I have had plans for a long time, but I just haven't had the time to dig. Once this busy period is over, I will start digging the fish pond."

Gu Qinghan had a plan long before he made a wish to solve the problem of the unpleasant fishy smell. After all, the most abundant animal in this river is fish. But if the villagers just fish in large quantities, it won't last long and the number of fish will surely decrease soon.

Moreover, the fish here only eat the water plants on the shore and the duckweed in the river, but they can grow so delicious. The fish that Xu Yuan caught from the rice field also grow very well. This shows that the water quality here is good. It is the first time I try to raise fish, and there is a high probability that I can keep them alive.

Few people in the county sell fish, and this is another business. No one dares to open up the market, after all, they don't eat fish. And before making a wish, I bought grilled fish in the county, and the business was very good. The fish has a market, and there is a demand for fish.

If you can't finish eating the fish, you can make it into dried fish, which can be stored for a long time. And the dried fish made by Xuyuan's craft is definitely not available in the outside market, which is also a good business.

Therefore, fish farming can definitely make money.

Gu Qinghan briefly told Xu Yuan about his thoughts, and Xu Yuan was very surprised.

I didn't expect that Gu Qinghan was so business-minded. If I continued to make grilled fish, there would be a great demand for fish. Besides, the fish meat was so fresh and tender that I could make it into fish balls and sell them.

Don’t we have shrimp paste? Can we make it into fish paste? This is a good idea. I wish to try it some other day.

"Your idea is very good, you can give it a try." Xu Xuyuan agreed with Gu Qinghan's idea very much. Who cares? Just give it a try first.

He helped Gu Qinghan push the cart into the yard and unloaded the sacks of millet on it.

The fish drying outside also have to be brought in. After all, the fog in the early morning is very wet and heavy, and if they get wet and get moldy, they will go bad.

It seems that we need to build a shed specifically for hanging dried fish. There is almost no place to hang them in the kitchen and the corridor.

With the help of a tall guy like Gu Qinghan, there is no need for Xu Zhi and Xu Yuan. One person can climb up the ladder while the other passes the hanging fish. The tall guy only needs to raise his hands, which makes it convenient for him to move around.

Really envious.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Gu Qinghan saw Xu Yuan staring at him closely. His heart was beating fast and he swallowed.

Xu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "No, I just envy you very much."

"What do you envy me for?" It was the first time that Gu Qinghan heard someone express their thoughts so bluntly, so he asked back curiously.

"I envy you for being so tall. You just need to be able to fish with your hands up high. I really want to feel the fresh air up high."

"Ah."

I didn't expect to hear this.

"It's okay. If you want to breathe fresh air at high altitude, you can climb higher. It's the same." Gu Qinghan joked.

"Tsk." Even though he's tall, he still has to lower his head when talking to me.

"Sister, are you done? The food is almost ready."

Hearing Xu Zhi's voice coming from the kitchen, Xu Yuan looked at Gu Qinghan.

"Why don't you guys have dinner here before going back? Xu Zhi has almost prepared the meal."

It took some time to hang up all the fish in the yard. At this time, the sky was dark, with only a gradually fading sunset glow remaining in the horizon.

"Okay, okay, big brother agreed." Gu Qingming helped roll up the bamboo mats that were used to dry rice in the yard. When he heard Xu Yuan say this, he excitedly agreed.

It's rare to get to eat at Sister Xuyuan's house, and now that he happens to be here, how could a greedy boy like Gu Qingming miss the opportunity?

Seeing that the cleanup was almost done, he hurried to the kitchen, "Sister Xuyuan, I'm going to wash the dishes and prepare the dishes. You guys should also wash your hands quickly and come in to eat."

Gu Qingming immediately took the initiative and walked into the kitchen with familiarity. He came to the place where the dishes were placed, opened the cupboard, took out the dishes, walked to the sink, washed them carefully, put them on the table, and helped Xu Zhi serve the dishes.

"Brother A Ming, why did you do the work I was supposed to do? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Many people who were about to take the step to wash the dishes stopped instantly when they saw Gu Qingming's behavior, extremely puzzled.

"Hey, why bother about this? You don't have to wash dishes today, so just be happy." Guozi said unhappily, flipping the firewood in the stove with a fire poker.

"Aduo, your brother Ming is nice today and in a good mood. I have nothing to do, so I just want to wash the dishes. What's wrong with that?"
