Chapter 59 Why Not Eat Fish
Otherwise, what if Huo Beixi asked them to lead the entire village to make money?
Are those people in the village worth their efforts?
They have already led the development of those who are worthy of their efforts, and there is no need for the villagers to mention this matter. If they don't lead those who are worthy of their efforts, won't it fully prove that they have a bad relationship with them?
Forcing people who have a bad relationship together will only lead to more and bigger conflicts!

After hanging up the phone, Hua Xiali thanked Huo Beixi and left the brigade headquarters. She would not sell the spicy potatoes for the time being, so she had to think about what else to do. After all, she still owed the bank more than 60,000 yuan, so she could not stop making money.

For the time being, we can only increase the production of braised food and make more money from it.

The sun was not particularly hot yet, so Hua Xiali went to the river bend to find Lu Xiaozhi. There were no more bamboo shoots to pick, so Lu Xiaozhi was helping her cut bamboo. The big earthen stove at home also needed firewood, so it was okay to cut more bamboo.

When Hua Xiali arrived downstream and was about to cross the river, he was surprised to see that the water had suddenly become much shallower and he couldn't even wash his clothes.

Unexpectedly, it hadn't rained for several months and the river was almost dried up, so she walked forward along the river bank to see if the water upstream was deep. If it was not deep, it would be more convenient and closer to cross the river directly from upstream.

Seeing the fish swimming in the shallow river with large splashes of water, Hua Xiali hurriedly went down to the river. Unexpectedly, the water was so shallow that even the fish could not be drowned. If he continued like this, all the fish in the river would be dried into shells and wasted.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiali became extremely excited and no longer had the mood to look for Lu Xiaozhi. Instead, she started to catch fish directly in the shallow stream. She wanted to "rescue" these fish that were about to be sun-dried to death, so that they could realize their value of survival in her hands.

In some small puddles, groups of small fish were crowded together. Hua Xiali was really glad that he came here today, otherwise these fish would soon become dried fish.

Dried fish can be eaten, but by then they will have become empty shells that cannot be eaten.

Hua Xiali started from the place where people washed clothes downstream and slowly moved forward to pick up things. She picked up whatever she saw. Anyway, the yard of the Lingquan space would slowly expand, and she didn't know what it would look like in the end. If there was really no room for anything in the end, she would just stop.

Anyway, we should rescue as many as we can.

Hua Xiali was still in the grass and picked up a stranded fish weighing dozens of kilograms. It looked as strong as a child, and there was also a several-kilogram thick and strong black fish. Hua Xiali was grateful in his heart again and again. If he had not come, he didn't know how much loss he would have suffered.

When they reached the middle reaches, they found that the water had been blocked by sandbags to form a simple dam. Thinking of the rice fields that needed irrigation, Hua Xiali suddenly realized that if the water was stored together, it would be convenient for everyone to pump water.

Now everyone is harvesting rice, and after harvesting, they need water to cultivate the fields and plant rice seedlings. By then, the water may not be enough, but there should be more big fish in the middle and upper reaches, because the riverbed in the middle and upper reaches is deeper, there are more aquatic plants, and there are many pits. Hua Xiali decided to come back to take a look after a while. Of course, she didn't want it to be too dry, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, it was like this in her previous life. God hadn't rained for a long time, causing the river to dry up and expose the cracked riverbed. The riverbed was full of dried fish and shells, and the grain production also decreased. Fortunately, there was still water in the well, which did not affect everyone's drinking water, but everyone still had to cut back on clothing and diet.

Hua Xiali washed his arms and legs clean, and went directly into the bamboo forest from Zhongyou. Following the sound of "dong dong dong", he found Lu Xiaozhi who was cutting bamboo.

The bamboo leaves are long and slender and cannot block much sunlight. Lu Xiaozhi's face turned red from the sun. Hua Xiali knew that he wanted to make more money, so she did not say anything to dissuade him. After all, in the mind of a person who wants to make money every minute, her words are easy to say. Who would feel tired when it comes to making money?
People who feel tired usually don't lack money.

After all, people who are short of money have the opportunity to make money, and they just want to hold on to it tightly and don’t want to lose the opportunity to make money just because they feel tired.

"Lu Xiaozhi, drink some water!" Hua Xiali handed over the glass with a spoonful of spiritual spring water in it. She couldn't let the child get heatstroke, otherwise she would be deeply sinful.

"Thank you, Sister Xia Li." Lu Xiaozhi put down the things in his hands, wiped the sweat off his face with the old towel around his neck, then took the glass from Hua Xiali's hand, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps. For some reason, he felt that there was a hint of sweetness in the water given by Hua Xiali. Maybe it was because Hua Xiali was a beautiful and kind person!
After Lu Xiaozhi finished drinking the water, Hua Xiali took the glass and said, "I'll go back first. Please be careful and I'll go get the money later."

When he came out of the bamboo forest, Hua Xiali had a basket in his hand. In the basket was a most common domestic fish, which was a silver carp. Hua Xiali felt that the people in his hometown were really strange. If they didn't know that bamboo shoots, bamboo fungus and other mushrooms were edible, it would be understandable that they didn't eat them, but why didn't anyone eat something as common as fish?

There are fish wherever there is water. There are big fish at some water outlets. Even the small puddles in the rice fields have many fish. Even in places without water like cornfields, if you occasionally add water, you can see many fish darting around in the cornfields. But why don’t we feel how many people eat fish?

You know, this is the pure wild fish that everyone in later generations has been longing for!

I brought a big carp home today. Naturally, some people saw it along the way, but Hua Xiali was not afraid at all that others would snatch the fish from him. After all, wherever there is water, there are fish. If you want to eat, just catch it!
Moreover, when she held a graduation banquet for Hua Chunli, she made spicy dried fish. Everyone knew that these fish were delicious, but Hua Xiali still didn't see anyone coming out to catch the fish. It seemed that these good things all went to her.

Hua Xiali brought the fish home. When his mother saw the fish, she was a little surprised. "Where did such a big fish come from? It looks so white and clean. Did you catch it in the river?"

"The water was so shallow that my face and ankles couldn't even be submerged in the water. I heard some splashing sounds in the water and looked over. It turned out to be a domestic fish. It was quite big, probably about 15 pounds!" Hua Xiali said, "Mom, why don't people here eat fish? Why don't I feel anyone catching fish to eat?"
