I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"I'll take the twenty coins, but you can't take the two copper coins. A pound of the best wild vegetables is only three coins, and it's not easy to pick a pound. You should be more frugal with your money."

In front of Song An Ning, A Qingniang tore up the IOU, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm a man of few words. What I said yesterday was a bit harsh, just treat it as my fart. Don't take it to heart. Your father and the others will definitely come back."

"Well, thank you for your understanding, auntie."

Song An Ning couldn't win the fight with her, so she had to take the two copper coins and pass them on to the next house.

The reactions of the next few families were similar to A Qing's mother's. No one wanted the extra coins she gave them. Most of them earnestly advised Song An Ning to live a good life with his younger siblings.

Song An Ning agreed good-temperedly. When she arrived at the sixth house, she saw a little kid squatting at the door, shoveling ants with a small wooden stick.

This family also had the surname Song, and some relatives squatted beside the baby. Song An Ning asked in what she thought was the gentlest tone:

"Tiedan, what are you playing? Are your parents home?"

Tiedan looked up and saw Song Anning's smiling fat face. He bit his lip, took a few steps back and fell on his butt.

"Wow……"

"..."

"Mom, help me, Tiedan was wrong, Tiedan will never play with ants again... woo woo woo..."

"?"

Song Anning thought about it again and again. She didn't say anything. Why was the child crying?

Hearing the crying, Tiedan's mother ran out from the vegetable garden in the backyard. Tiedan saw that it was his mother who came, and cried even louder.

"Mother, Tiedan will be obedient from now on. Please don't ask Aunt Ning to kill Tiedan... Wow..."

"..."

Tiedan's mother gave Song Anning an awkward smile and then explained:

"What a joke, kid! Didn't you teach those guys a lesson this morning? I was just trying to scare him with you. This kid actually took it seriously..."

"..."

Song Anning tried hard to keep smiling and waved her hand gently: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, haha..."

After a few pleasantries, they got down to business. They owed Tiedan's family a lot, more than two hundred copper coins. When they gave it out, Song Anning's heart was bleeding.

The original owner, you are a greedy person, and you even steal food for the He family. With these two hundred coins, I want to dig more than one hundred kilograms of wild vegetables!

He went to more than a dozen houses and paid back 1,036 copper coins. When he got home, it was already dark.

The whole family was not hungry after eating too much in the afternoon. Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue had already gone to bed. After a quick wash, Song An Ning fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, two spring thunders exploded over Banyue Village. The wind made the thatched hut shake, and Song An Ning curled up in the quilt and slept soundly.

I couldn't go up the mountain on a rainy day, so I didn't have to get up early. I wanted to sleep in, but I heard the two little ones chirping early in the morning.

"Ayuan, what are you two talking about? It's still raining outside, why did you go out?"

Song Zeyuan, wearing a large bamboo hat, ran in, "Sister, I went to the river to look at the fish. There were so many fish. Uncle Daguang and the others caught quite a few. I was afraid to go in the water, so Uncle Daguang gave me two."

There is a big river outside Banyue Village. The village is located between the river and the mountains. Looking from the top of the mountain, it looks like a crescent moon, hence the name Banyue Village.

In the original owner's memory, this river connected to the sea. Every spring, fish from the sea migrated to the upper reaches of the river to spawn, and a large number of dead fish appeared on the shore.

The system's popular science voice also sounded: "Ding, salmon, also known as king salmon, salmon. It is a fish that migrates upstream to reproduce. It is rich in high-quality protein... one hundred coins per pound."

After saying that, he didn't forget to add: "Salmon are green-level animals, master, please upgrade as soon as possible..."

"Tongzi, do you want that dead fish? I'll sell it to you at a discount."

"But……"

"No buts! Just decide whether you'll accept it or not! If you don't, I'll want to kill someone! I'll want to slap that cute little kid in the face! I'll go crazy!

You can’t go up the mountain on rainy days. You’ll miss it if you miss it. It only comes once a year.”

Song An Ning felt there was a chance, so she tried to persuade him with gentle persuasion, and her voice was quite vulgar.

"Well, take it. Ten cents a pound, just this once! What are you still doing sitting on the bed? Go pick up the money, go quickly."

The unscrupulous Tongzi took 90% of the kickbacks and was not afraid of choking to death. Ten cents is ten cents! It's much easier than digging wheel vegetables.

Song Zeyuan had already prepared breakfast: multi-grain porridge and a pheasant egg for each person.

Song An Ning drank two mouthfuls of porridge to fill his stomach, put on his hat, took the wicker scoop net and was about to go out.

The two little ones wanted to watch the fun, so they also picked up their small backpacks and followed behind.

It was raining heavily and there were only a few people by the river. The salmon migration would last for some time, and many people were afraid of catching a cold from the rain, so they didn't go out.

These days, catching a cold is no joke and can easily be fatal.

It was the dry season in the river, and these salmon were unable to swim upstream. After entering the river from the ocean, they stopped eating and focused all their energy on fighting the water current.

Song Anning took off his shoes and went into the water. There were hundreds of salmon lying in the water near the shore, and even more of them were live fish. They gathered in the middle of the river with fierce currents, and were still trying their best to swim upstream.

"Aning, don't catch them alive. They still have hundreds of miles to go. It's not easy to return to the place where they were born to lay eggs..."

An old man from the village stood on the shore, sighing at the fish, and also seemed to be sighing at himself.

Song An Ning nodded and walked forward a little further. There was no one here. He put a fish in his hand and the system quickly retrieved it.

“Wow, this fish is big, 11 jin, 110 wen.

Master, this one won’t do. It stinks.

Hey, there’s this one too, it’s all rotten…”

The process of picking up money was not smooth. The system was picky and very disgusted.

Most of these fish died from hitting rocks while swimming upstream or being scratched by wild animals, and they do not look very good to sell.

The river water was freezing cold. Song Anning opened her eyes wide and looked for a few half-dead fish that were still struggling.

"Master, we have a deal. Even if it's half-dead, it's still ten wenao~"

"Ding, I bought a half-dead salmon, and it's worth seventy-five cents."

……

"Ding, I recovered the dead, slightly smelly salmon. Sixty-three cents have been credited to my account."

"Ding, recycling... No, master, I won't take it. This one stinks!"

"..."

The rain got heavier, so Song An Ning picked two fresher ones and put them in her backpack before heading home.

Salt is too expensive these days and there is no good way to store it. Each family only catches a few fish to last for a while.

On the way back, Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue each carried a fish in a small bamboo basket and walked home happily.

Song Anning took the time to glance at the system screen and was shocked.

Wow, the income from salmon alone is more than nine hundred coins, nearly one tael of silver!

But Tongzi, why did the color of your screen turn green?
