Evil Sister in Charge: As long as you are thick-skinned, you can eat meat every meal

"Mother! Come quickly!"

"I have something good for you! Hehehe!"

Zhou Sisi carried a bucket of dug-out clam meat out of the house, and left the clam shells in the space. The sudden transformation from a small clam to a big one would definitely arouse suspicion, so she simply cleaned the clam meat before taking it out.

Anyway, Han Yue Niang had just come back from digging wild vegetables, and she hadn't seen the size of the clams before, so she wouldn't be suspicious.

"What are you going to give me again? You're so secretive and sneaky!" When Mrs. Zhou heard that her granddaughter had something good to give her, she immediately threw away the bamboo basket, wiped her hands, and rushed to Zhou Sisi in two steps, staring at her in confusion.

"Grandma, stretch out your hand!" Zhou Sisi winked at her playfully.

"Hmph! You're so naughty!" Mrs. Zhou gave her a coquettish look and obediently stretched out her hand.

Zhou Sisi took out a handful of pearls from her pocket and put them into Mrs. Zhou's hand.

"Granny, surprise, this is all yours."

"Hehe, I'll tell you in detail later. I have to go do my business first!"

After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she ran out of the yard, not forgetting to ask Han Yueniang to cook the river clam meat at noon, and then she disappeared.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the handful of pearls of all sizes in her hand, exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth. When did her granddaughter have such a skill? Could she have some kind of X-ray vision? Could she know which river mussel had a pearl?

In the past, people in the village went to the river to catch clams and bring them back to eat. They also dug pearls from the clams, but they were definitely not as big as these, and their colors were not as beautiful as the ones her granddaughter gave her. Not only were the pearls plump, but they also had many colors.

Wait until this little girl comes back and ask her what’s going on!

"Sisi girl, did I hear you correctly? Do you really want to buy that pond at the entrance of the village?" the head of the village exclaimed.

"Uncle Lizheng, you heard me right, I really want to buy it!"

"And I'll pay you right away. As long as you agree, I'll pay half of the money first. Once the land deed and other procedures are completed, I'll pay the rest right away!" Zhou Sisi doesn't like Mo Ji's way of doing things. Quick decisions are her style.

"Then I'll ask the elders in the village first. You know, this pond belongs to the village. I can't make the decision alone!"

What the head of the village said was not a lie, and Zhou Sisi naturally knew it. Their Qingshan Village had a very good geographical advantage. It was backed by the Daqing Mountain, and not far from the village there was a river formed by the confluence of mountain streams. They usually went to that river to wash clothes.

The pond at the entrance of the village is not particularly large, only about 500 square meters. During droughts, the surrounding fields are irrigated with water from the pond, so there is really no say in the matter.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Li Zheng. If it works, I'll definitely reward you handsomely. If it doesn't, forget it. I'll go to my eldest aunt's village and buy their pond, and it'll be the same!"

"I thought that if I succeeded, I would bring Brother Daniu and Sister Chunxing to make money together. If not, it's just not fate, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

As soon as Zhou Sisi finished speaking, the eldest son and his wife of the village head began to get anxious. They all knew that Zhou Sisi could make money, and it was obvious that she was here to help them make money. They hoped that their father would not be so stubborn and disagree, otherwise the huge sum of money would really become someone else's.

Even the wife of the village head began to worry, fearing that her husband would make a mistake, and quietly pulled the village head's sleeve.

"Sisi girl, can I ask what you want to buy the pond for?"

"Now that I have found out, I can talk to the elders."

The head of the village slapped his wife's hand away without leaving a trace. He knew what his family was thinking and he also wanted to make the money, but it would be better to ask clearly to be on the safe side.

"Uncle, aunt, look, this is why I bought the pond!"

Zhou Sisi took out five pearls of different colors from her pocket and placed them on the dining table in the headman's house. She had prepared for this and was just waiting for the headman to ask.

"To be honest, Shopkeeper Jiang and I are planning to raise pearl oysters together. I will go to learn the day after tomorrow and will probably be back in about four days."

"Manager Jiang will provide the money, I will provide the technology, and then I will need people to help with management, so naturally I will have to find people from the village to help with management. I think Brother Daniu and Sister Chun Xing are suitable candidates."

"Cleaning the pond also requires manpower, so the wages will naturally not be small."

The headman and his family all stared at the five pearls and were secretly surprised. Although Zhou Sisi was young, she had great skills. Cultivating pearls was something they had never dared to think about.

"Okay! I'll ask for you right now and I'll definitely help you get this done!"

The village head stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Sisi.

"Uncle Lizheng, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say first."

"First of all, if you sell this pond to me, it will belong to me alone. You can't use it for irrigation or anything like that, because it's my private property."

"As compensation, I paid for a well to be dug at the east and west ends of the village for irrigation during the dry season."

"Of course, if someone refuses to listen and still insists on destroying the safety of my pond, I have the right to bring them to justice. There should be no problem with that, right?"

Zhou Sisi likes to say ugly things up front to avoid trouble later when people would say she didn't make it clear before.

"It's natural. Since you've spent money, it all belongs to you. Others have no right to draw water from your pond. That's definitely not okay!"

"Don't worry, I will explain this matter clearly! Just wait for my good news!" The head of the village patted his chest and promised!

"Then I would like to thank the head of the village first!"

"I won't bother you anymore. I'll give these pearls to Aunt and Sister Chun Xing to play with. Goodbye!"

Zhou Sisi left after she finished speaking, without any intention of saying anything more. If it worked, it worked. If not, she wouldn't force it. Indeed, her alternative was the pond in the village of her eldest aunt Zhou Jinhua.

It’s just that it’s more convenient here. When the time is right, I can go to her aunt’s house and get another one. It will be the same.

When Zhou Sisi returned home, she was pulled into the house by Mrs. Zhou and the door was carefully closed.

"Go ahead! I'm all ears to see if you can tell a story!" Mrs. Zhou sat down on the chair. She wanted to hear the origin of this pearl.

"Haha, grandma, you're taking this too seriously. I'm starting to get nervous!"

"This is what happened. Let me tell you slowly!"

Zhou Sisi brought out Shopkeeper Jiang and said that they wanted to cooperate in raising pearl oysters. These river clams from which pearls were dug out were given to her by Shopkeeper Jiang and were test subjects from previous successful experiments.

Then she also told him that she would be leaving for Yaocheng the day after tomorrow. Of course, she didn't say that she was going to help adjust the recipe of braised meat, but she said that she was going to learn the technology of cultivating pearl oysters.

She also told him about how she had just gone to the village head to buy the big pond in the village.

She thought that she would tell Xiao Wang later and ask him not to let anything slip and not to accidentally tell anyone about the purchase of river clams in the morning.
