273 Ask the House 2

"Uncle Sun, you are in the city and it is convenient for you to do anything. It doesn't matter whether you have a bicycle or not. You can't run back and forth with me. You can't do without a suitable means of transportation."

"This is the convenience of living in the city." Sun Xingfu is now doing a prosperous business and is rich, so he naturally lives in a place with rich resources and is more comfortable.

"Uncle Sun, I heard that I can buy land and build a house now?" Mu Xiu asked.

"No, I went to buy vegetables a few days ago, and everyone was discussing that the county wanted to build five workers' dormitories to live in for employees with housing difficulties. That was a building. I heard that every household in the house has its own kitchen and toilet." Sun Xingfu said with interest. He was also very curious about such a house.

"Can you buy a house or land?" Mu Xiu asked.

"You are asking the right person. I am a cousin at the west end of the city. I want to follow my wife back to my hometown. The house has been sold recently, but many people are also watching, afraid that it will come again." Sun Xingfu made a sealing action, and Mu Xiu immediately understood.

"Uncle Sun, how big is your cousin's house?"

"The house is not big, only about one hundred square meters." Sun Xingfu thought for a while and replied.

It has a unique courtyard, which is consistent with Mu Xiu's wishes. When it is built into a building, there will be more rooms.

"Uncle Sun, please ask me how much it costs. I will come to the county town again tomorrow and come to find you when the time comes." Mu Xiu knew better than anyone else that dark things would never happen again.

"Mu Xiu, you are really planning to buy a house in the county town. You are not afraid," Sun Xingfu asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I'm not afraid. I believe that life will only get better and better in the future. And in the spring next year, I will reach the age of studying. I want her to come to the county town to study."

"You should study well, but you should think for the long term." Sun Xingfu nodded and continued, "I will ask him if the store is no longer busy later."

"Then thank you Uncle Sun."

"Don't be kind to me." Sun Xingfu held the iron scale and weighed the mushrooms.

"Eighty-one pounds, wait for me to get you money." Sun Xingfu walked to the front room, counted the money from the counter, and came back and handed it to Mu Xiu.

When Sun Xingfu went to get the money, Mu Xiu took out some sausages and a small bag of fried peanuts from the space and put them on the table in the yard.

"Uncle Sun, then I'll leave, and I'll wait for good news tomorrow." Mu Xiu took the money, pushed the bicycle to the door, rode on and left.

After seeing Mu Xiu off, Sun Xingfu saw the things on the table, smiled and shook his head, sighing, "Mu Xiu is really sensible."

Mu Xiu rode his bicycle to a secluded place, took out a few bags of salt from the space, cut it open the packaging, poured it all into the jar, took out a few pieces of blue cloth and a few pieces of flower cloth, folded it, put it into the basket on the left, then took out some fertilizers and vegetable seeds from the space, put it into the basket on the right, and covered it with a lid outside, then rode the bike under the big tree at the north gate of the county town.

Mu Xiu waited for about twenty minutes, and Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart and walked over.

"Uncle Chen, Brother Chen, these are the buns I brought out in the morning. You can eat them on the way. I've eaten them just now." Mu Xiu opened the insulated lunch box and put six buns in it.

"You're more thoughtful, let's go." Chen Xiangyang took the insulation box, Chen Xuhui drove a ox cart, and Mu Xiu rode a bicycle, and left the county town together.

At four o'clock, the three returned to the village.

"Uncle Chen, please inform the villagers who raise fish and ask them to catch a few fish each. If there are more people at home, I will teach them to pickle salted fish." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xiangyang.

"I'll inform you now, come to your house?" Chen Xiangyang asked.

"Okay, bring a knife, basin and salt." Mu Xiu explained for a moment, then went home with Chen Xuhui.

About an hour later, Mu Xiu's yard was filled with villagers who were rushing to come one after another.

In addition to Chen Xiangyang, there are also eight fish farming families. More than 20 people came to the yard and brought all the things.

Seeing that everyone was here, Chen Xiangyang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Dear fellow villagers, this is the first year of raising fish on rice. No one has any experience and has not salvaged it in advance, which almost caused losses. Fortunately, this batch of fish was finally sold."

"Village Party Secretary, what else can we do if we sell it?" Liu Jingang asked strangely.

"But the other party wants salted fish. Although some of us have pickled salted fish in normal times, we have to unify the marinating method." Chen Xiangyang replied.

"As long as it can be sold, no matter whether it is salty or fresh." Old Man Chen's voice sounded.

"Then let Mu Xiu teach everyone how to pickle salted fish." After Chen Xiangyang finished speaking, he nodded at Mu Xiu.

"Dear uncles and aunts, let's start now." Mu Xiu picked up a fish and gestured to Chen Xuhui to slapp him, remove the scales and gills, and cut the fish from the back. The fish cut in this way is better than the ones that are cut from the belly. After cleaning it, he cut it twice on the fish and finally weighed the weight.

"Use one spoonful of salt for a pound of fish and rub it." Mu Xiu prepared the spoon and the family gave one.

"Everyone will make some chili powder and pepper when you go back, make some spicy food, and rub it on as well when rubbing salt. You must apply it on the fish meat and apply more on the edge of the knife on the fish head body."

"After applying it, put it in a basin, cover it with a white cloth, press it with a stone, put it in a ventilated place, and press it for a week."

Mu Xiu was conducting demonstrations while guiding everyone. Everyone stared at them in a hurry, fearing that they had missed some steps.

"After a week, use a rope to pass through the fish head and eyes, hang it outdoors and dry it, and try to blow dry without sun drying."

It is already late October. When the sun comes out, the temperature will rise at noon. The other time it is breeze. The temperature is lower in the morning and evening. The elderly and children should wear thicker coats to keep warm. It is the fastest to make salted fish in this weather.

Mu Xiu checked one by one family one by one. Most of the people present, even if they had never pickled salted fish, had pickled pickles and made soy sauce. The method Mu Xiu said was very simple, and everyone could learn it as soon as they learned it.

Soon, all the fish brought were processed.

"Very good, that's how it is done. After everyone air-dried the salted fish, they will be delivered to me. I will deliver it to the hotel. The boss's wife said that the salted fish is 50 cents per pound." Mu Xiu's words made everyone smile on their faces.

"This time, it was thanks to Mu Xiu that he sold the fish." Chen Xiangyang said from the side.

"I just said, Mu Xiuren is good and makes money. He always thinks about the villagers." Old Man Chen's daughter-in-law said.
