Chapter 247
"What do you think Dashuo know? I tell you that he was lucky to be able to earn a house. I heard that there was a good well in the fish pond before. It was broken during the drought in 50s and there was no water. I heard that the well raised fish. In the past, the fish produced in this fish pond was better than the fish pond in any place. The water produced in that well could cure diseases. Dashuo had good luck, so he contracted the fish pond and it came out." Zhang Baohan said.
"You haven't been born in five years, how do you know?"
Zhang Baohan said, "I didn't give birth, but I've heard from the old man."
The old man next to him cleared his throat: "That's the case. When we were young, we swam to the well, and the water was very cold. After drying the pond, we could block the hole and close the water soon. However, after the severe drought and water cut off for more than five years, we never had water."
"Then why do you have to be the well that works? What if it is not? Originally, everyone was from the village, and no one was interested in this fish pond before. Whoever wants to raise fish can just say it, and you can get the fish pond and pay some money. Now that Dashun's family makes money from this fish pond, everyone is suffering from red-eye disease, which is not nice to say." Zhu Jinbao said.
"Jinbao, your family is not rare. But don't say that others are just having red eyes. Why don't you talk about the villagers if you add water to your wine?" Liu Ying saw that Zhu Jinbao destroyed the unified front and immediately exposed Zhu Jinbao's dark side.
Did Zhu Jinbao do something about adding water to the wine? Liu Ying really didn't wrongly accuse Zhu Jinbao of this. Of course, adding water to the wine is not just as simple as adding water to it. Zhu Jinbao used the traditional method of making wine, and the wine brewed is naturally good and bad. This time you sell good wine to others, and others will tell you that your wine is good. But next time you sell the little wine to others, and others will tell you that your wine is adulterated.
Zhu Jinbao simply adjusted the wine he brewed every time, and the quality of the wine he sold was about the same. It was not water, but the back pot water with extremely low alcohol content after the roasted wine. This water originally contained a certain amount of alcohol, and it was the same as the brewed wine. When mixed, it would not have a raw water smell.
Liu Ying revealed Zhu Jinbao's old secrets, which was like smashing Zhu Jinbao's rice bowl. Zhu Jinbao immediately jumped up: "Liu Ying, don't spread rumors! My wine has never been mixed with water. Whose roasted wine is as good as every time? I just mix the good wine and the ones that are worse. I can't throw away the ones that are bad, right?"
"Don't talk about this for now, let's decide on the contracting of the fish pond first." Zhang Baohan didn't want to create trouble at this time.
"How do you want to take the fish pond? You will go there anyway. I won't participate. The contract fee for the fish pond can't make money even if you get it. Your family has so much effort. You still want to snatch the fish pond from Dashuo and make your family rich? I advise you to be a person and not to be beaten in the end. People are doing it, God is watching! Don't think that people are easy to bully. If they are easy to bully, Yang Baosong's family can often deliver things to Dashuo's family with their faces? Why didn't they deliver things to your house? Yang Baosong's family is not as smart as your family?" Zhu Jinbao threw down this and left.
The rest of the people also became weird. They were all brought to their pockets by Zhang Baohan's family. Now they were so thrust by Zhu Jinbao. There was only one fish pond, and it was finally only one family. Looking at the attitude of Zhang Baohan and his wife, they must have wanted to contract the fish pond. Everyone was so noisy that they offended Zhang Dashun's family to death, and in the end they could all be benefited by Zhang Baohan's family.
Zhang Baohan and Liu Ying were anxious. Liu Ying hurriedly said, "Don't listen to Zhu Jinbao's random slacks. He makes a lot of money by making wine. He makes two pounds of wine per pound, and can mix two pounds of rice. Although he needs to burn firewood, the lees of wine can still be fed to pigs. After a year, he makes a lot of money, so he naturally doesn't like this fish pond. But we don't have many ways to make money. If we can contract the fish pond, let alone make so much money, it's better to earn 40,000 or 50,000 or 50,000 or go out to work."
"But there is only one fish pond. I said I want to contract, what are you doing?" someone asked.
"I don't have the final say. No one can say it." Liu Ying said.
"Who has the final say? Each family has the same part. The Dasun family also has four shares. Their family also has the right to speak."
Liu Ying smiled and said, "It depends on whoever gives the high contract fee, and who will raise this fish pond."
“It’s fair.”
Even if you can't contract the fish pond, you can still get a little more contract fee. This made everyone present feel much happier. But no one carefully calculated that even if the contract fee increased tenfold from the current few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands, the family would only get a few hundred yuan. Even if it was a few hundred yuan, it wouldn't be able to do anything in the countryside. Only Yang Baosong's family knew best. How stupid it was to offend Zhang Dashun's family for a few hundred yuan.
In order to get the fish pond, Zhang Baohan also spent all his money and even increased the contract fee from a few hundred yuan a year to ten thousand yuan.
Zhu Jinbao walked out of Zhang Baohan's house and did not go home directly, but went to Zhang Dashuan's house.
"Uncle Dashuan, have you had dinner?" Zhu Jinbao walked into Zhang Dashuan's house and kept looking at Zhang Dashuan's house. Zhang Dashuan's house really looks the same day. Zhu Jinbao was here when Zhang Dashuan's house was on the beam. Unexpectedly, it had just been so long that the house had completely changed. The large LCD TV in the lobby was really grand. Many people in the village were still watching the old-fashioned color TV, with their big butts, which looked like rustic. There were even black and white TVs from the early 1990s.
"Uncle Jinbao, where is your family 90%?" Zhang Jidong, who was sitting there watching TV, asked.
"Ninety percent will definitely watch TV like you at home this time." Zhu Jinbao said.
Zhang Dashuan walked out of the inner room, "Jinbao is here."
"Uncle Dashuan, Baohan's family is carrying out the fish pond contracting. Why isn't anyone in your family going to go? Baohan is just a blushing disease. I was so angry that they poured dirty water on me and said that I was mixed with water in the wine. The village is full of drinking my wine. I have sold wine for decades. Everyone should know how my wine is like? I called them red-eye disease in front of Baohan and his wife. I guess they have finished the fish pond contracting process now." Zhu Jinbao said.
"In fact, I'm not going to continue contracting this fish pond. Look, my family has built so many rice fields to raise fish, and has also contracted it to the reservoir. There is no time to take care of this fish pond. In a few days, I will dry the fish pond. If you have time, come and do a favor." Zhang Dashuan said.
"I have time and time. The fish for the New Year are not ready yet, just waiting for your house to dry the pond." Zhu Jinbao said with a smile.
"Okay, that's all." Zhang Dashuan kept Zhu Jinbao for dinner at home. Zhu Jinbao did not refuse, and asked Zhang Jidong to come to their house to get a pot of special good wine. Of course, Zhang Jidong called Zhu Jinbao and his family over. Liuqi turned into a meal for the two families.
