Chapter 516: Is that human talk?
Falling into the pond is impossible, with so many water weeds on the edge, which are so lush that even harvesting them every day to feed the pigs hasn't controlled them!
If you really fall in, you'd have to roll in the water weeds twice first.
Song Sancheng came back with the fishing net: "Tantan, which pond should we fish first?"
"Behind the mountain, behind the mountain!"
Song Tan quickly directed: "That side has fewer water weeds, the pond is big, and it's fast to fish. By the way, let Old Zhao load up more first."
Wu Lan also squeezed over: "Tantan, you ask, with so many people buying fish, are they bringing them back to clean themselves or cleaning them here? If they clean them here, how should we calculate the wages for the old ladies in the village helping out?"
No need to ask that!
Song Tan made a prompt decision: "Mom, just hire people directly. Even if they don't need others to help kill the fish, our family needs it."
Saying not to pick and choose, but in the end, there will definitely be a lot of small fish and shrimp left. Relying on Aunt Lianhua at home would tire people out enough, so it's better to spend money to save trouble.
Professor Song was also seeing such a grand occasion of selling fish for the first time—if nothing else, even the fish landings at the seaside wharf don't have this kind of commotion!
In other places, people have the mentality of picking and choosing, but here, looking at everyone eager to try, it seems everyone is prepared!
It's also outrageous!
However, imagining the taste of Song Tan's family's fish... Professor Song swallowed his saliva, and his anxious stomach gave birth to a touch of emptiness.
Meanwhile, Song Sancheng raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go, let's go! Fishing behind the mountain! Mao Zhu, don't forget the bamboo raft!"
Zhou Maozhu responded, and adjusted the so-called "bamboo raft" on his shoulder—which was two thick, long bamboo poles—and the group headed to the back mountain under the scorching sun.
Once they moved, the customers who were still making noise in the surrounding area also moved at the news and followed. The crowd was excited and full of expectation, as if what was about to happen wasn't fishing, but a group fight.
Little Cai was pulled by Cai Ma, wrapped in the crowd, struggling to squeeze out her thoughts: "Mom! Mom! Fish, it's fish! We don't eat much fish at home! Calm down, and the refrigerator is full! Not even one fish can fit!"
Cai Ma's passionate train of thought paused, and she instantly wrung her hands: "Right, right! I knew I forgot something. Hurry up, isn't there that Dongdong appliance delivery service? Send a freezer over now!"
She seemed to have been planning for a long time, and now she couldn't help but nag: "I said a long time ago that the family needs a freezer. The freezer section of the refrigerator is too small. Usually, when we buy meat, we can't fit it, and you still want to stuff ice cream and whatnot..."
Little Cai's eyes went dark.
Just ask, which courier delivers a freezer to your home in the middle of the night?
But Cai Ma was eyeing her like a tiger. As a young person of the new era, Little Cai could only grit her teeth and smile: "Okay, I'll ask—"
Just ask, who doesn't have two appliance sellers in their circle of friends? Don't talk about cost-effectiveness now; just get one hauled back tonight!
Otherwise, if her mom really bought dozens of jin of fish back, in this high temperature, could it still be eaten tomorrow?
She quickly sent a message.
However, the businessman who usually replied in seconds had no movement for a long time tonight. Seeing that they were about to reach the big pond, Little Cai was anxious and quickly made a call—
However, on the other end of the phone, the boss's voice seemed to carry anxiety and a face-to-face daze:
"Hello—you're also buying a freezer—and you want it delivered tonight? We only have two models in the warehouse tonight, one for 1599 and one for 2599, capacity..."
After hanging up the phone, both sides were a bit numb.
The appliance boss wiped the sweat from his face, happy because business suddenly flourished, while also uneasy because he couldn't figure it out:
"Wife, is there a war coming? Why is everyone buying freezers in the middle of the night? Is the price going to rise?"
But if the price rises, should he sell these freezers or not?
Should he keep two big ones for the family?
Because small freezers are a bit unpopular, as the largest distributor in Yuncheng, his inventory should be the most sufficient.
So the question is, should he hoard goods and wait for the price to rise, or what?
And it's almost night, where can he find so many workers to deliver?
Yunqiao Village.
Little Cai also wiped her sweat: "Mom, I grabbed one. There are a lot of people buying freezers tonight! No choice..."
She could only buy a small single-door freezer as much as possible.
Any bigger, and there's no place at home!
Cai Ma didn't care about this. Anyway, she knew she had a freezer—empty! Empty! Completely empty!
Ah, if you say so, is putting only a few dozen jin of fish in it too much of a waste?
Little Cai didn't know what kind of Pandora's box she had opened. She just followed the crowd to the pond under the sun. Clearly, it was just fishing in the village, but now the shore was full of people, and putting down a bathtub would be like a dragon boat race.
And Song Sancheng couldn't care about this anymore. He just shouted: "Mao Zhu, you drive the fish first!"
The water weeds in this big pond are negligible compared to the whole water surface, but it's hot now, and many fish are still hiding in the water weeds at the corners, making the fishing net hard to stick.

So you need to use long bamboo poles to beat the corners of the water surface, scaring the fish to the middle of the pond. Then, when you cast the net, you can have a bumper harvest!
Zhou Maozhu and the villagers responded, standing in the corner of the pond and saying to his partner: "Don't worry, we'll definitely drive all the fish over!"
While saying this, he placed the long and thick bamboo poles on the water surface. Both sides of the pond exerted force together, and four or five people worked together to start beating the water surface "pop, pop, pop"!
In an instant, the entire calm water surface seemed to churn, and the sound of splashing under the water weeds at the corners emerged one after another, and the exclamations of everyone on the shore became even more noisy!
Cai Ma's cheeks were red, and it wasn't just from excitement or the sun:
"Oh my! Oh my! Look at this fish! Look at how fresh this fish is! Too fresh! It's lucky we came to buy on-site, otherwise, it would all be what others picked over!"
"Right, right, right!" Sister Xu on the side was also very happy: "I said this family's stuff definitely wouldn't be bad! Look, we spent a few dozen more on the chartered car, but if we missed this fish, we wouldn't be able to grab it back for a few hundred!"
"That's right, I said so too—it just so happens my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, I have to pick more crucian carp! Oh my, how fresh! Look, it's still churning in the water!"
"Sister Wu, you can't raise this fish at home after bringing it back. This family's stuff definitely won't be fresh after a few days of raising at home. You should buy more, you have to handle it and quick-freeze it tonight!"
"Look at the official account I forwarded, such quick-frozen fish doesn't lose nutrition!"
Little Cai was really speechless.
Listen! Listen!
Is that human talk?
That fish is in the pond, why wouldn't it churn? This is just ordinary, normal live fish! The silver carp on sale at the vegetable market, as long as it's not dead, looks like this in the water!
And a few dozen yuan is a small matter, is our manpower worthless?
She thought about the car she had just maintained yesterday, and then looked at the fish churning on the water surface, and couldn't help but feel her eyes go dark. ===== CHAPTER 517 =====
