Chapter 114 Catching Fish(1/2)
The question of tranquility made Jiang Xia's brain shut down for a while.
This is a good question. Why did he want to buy it with Anjia?
"Your family buys a lot, and I buy a little. How can I get someone to deliver the goods if I buy a little?"
Jiang Xia's explanation was flawless, reasonable, and he accepted it calmly. He even praised it and said: "This really saves money. You are right."
Jiang Xia laughed a little uncomfortably for the first time. This was the reason he just remembered.
"Then you go and do it, and I'll pay for it, right?"
An Ning asked again, and Jiang Xia agreed vaguely.
When he saw An Ning leaving on her bicycle, there was a distressed expression behind her.
"What am I here for?"
Jiang Xia shook his head and even touched his forehead suspiciously, but it didn't feel hot either.
"Young master is indeed a good person."
Jiang Xia, who was boastful, found the nearest place and called directly.
After a phone call, the price of 116 tons of cement was negotiated. As for the bricks, there was a local brick-making place, and he planned to go and have a look first.
The matter of cement and bricks was left to Jiang Xia.
After leaving An Ning and not going home for the time being, she found a place to make a phone call.
"Director Jin, I am An Ning."
An Ning announced her home, and Factory Manager Jin on the other side was very enthusiastic and asked An Ning's request with great concern.
"I want to buy some glass to make windows."
"Okay, thank you."
"No need to bother, really no need."
An Ning held the hung up phone to her ear and wondered, did she say she wanted anything else?
"No, I only said to buy glass."
An Ning put down the phone, paid the phone bill, and left.
When she returned to An's house, there were several people in the courtyard of An's house.
"Mom, uncle, sister-in-law."
An Ning stepped forward to say hello, and all the female relatives of the uncle's family came over.
"An Ning, come here."
Lin Cuihua greeted An Ning over.
An Ning walked over obediently and lowered her head to listen to Lin Cuihua's words.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
An Ning turned around and left again.
She wants to go up the mountain to get some meat. Many people came to help dig the foundation of An's house this afternoon.
Most of them are named An, and they don't charge any money.
Since you don’t charge money, you must take care of the food.
This is why the aunt's family came to help.
An Ning went up the mountain with a machete and a basket on his back.
She doesn't pick and choose, she scans with her mental power, pheasants, rabbits, silly roe deers, and hits whatever she sees.
When An Ning came down from the mountain, there happened to be several children on the other side of the river blocking fish in the shallower river.
An Ning, who was carrying a basket, passed by the children and asked curiously: "How many did you catch?"
Several children all knew An Ning, and they talked like they were strangers.
"I just caught a few small fish."
"There are two loaches."
An Ning looked at the small bucket next to her, and there was indeed not much.
She first sent the basket back to An's house and asked Lin Cuihua to cook.
As for cooking, Lin Cuihua didn't let An Ning get started because she really didn't have this talent.
After delivering the game, An Ning went out again carrying a basket and a bucket.
She also went to the river, found a place where the water flow was relatively gentle, took some stones, and blocked the water flow, leaving only a gap.
Next, An Ning tied the basket with a rope and blocked it under the gap in the water flow.
And her mental power went deep into the water, looking for fish.
When she found it, she used her mental power to drive the fish away and let it swim into her basket.
After a while, she caught six fish, which was definitely enough for extra food in the evening.
An Ning was about to stop, but his mental power suddenly discovered the school of fish.
"Lots of fish."
An Ning stood up and shouted to a few children not far away who were about to leave: "Hurry up and call someone, there are a lot of fish here."
A few children stretched their necks and happened to see An Ning, holding a big bamboo basket and fishing it out of the water.
The next second, the big bamboo basket was lifted up by An Ning, and a basket of black fish jumped alive. Several fish jumped out of the basket and fell to the ground on the side.
“Lots of fish!”
"Hurry up and call someone!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Several children, some went to call for help, and some rushed over directly.
At this time, An Ning continued to fish, one basket, another basket, and another basket.
Without much effort, there were many fish on the shore, bending and jumping constantly.
"Who dropped it? Where did it drop?"
Many people working nearby rushed over. Some took off their shirts and prepared to jump into the river to save others.
After the children explained it and saw the fish breathing frantically on the ground, everyone was happy.
"An Ning, this fish?"
"Everyone has a share."
Naturally, An Ning cannot eat alone. It is okay to catch a few fish and eat them by himself. If he eats so many fish by himself, he will easily be jealous of others.
Sure enough, when An Ning said this, everyone showed their jaws with joy.
The current in this river is fast and the fish are very smart, so it is not easy to catch them at all.
Whoever has free time can catch fish here all morning, but you may not be able to catch it.
More and more people came over, including team leader Sun Dazhuang, who began to organize.
At the very least, every household is guaranteed to have a fish.
For a while, the riverside was very lively.
Some people took a piece of grass, directly passed it through the gills of the fish, and carried the fish home; some people just held the fish in their hands and went home; some people brought a basin and carried the fish home.
.
No matter what, every family got at least one fish.
An Ning finally withdrew his mental power and let the remaining fish pass by.
The shore gradually became calm, and Jiang Xia held two fish in her hands and wandered to An Ning's side.
"This fish is too obedient today."
"I'm not afraid of people at all."
Jiang Xia stared at the river thoughtfully, puzzled.
He simply didn't understand and didn't think that An Ning had any special means.
An Ning was a little alarmed, but she calmly explained: "This is called the school of fish phenomenon. They were originally moving in one direction, but after they got confused, they all lost their direction and huddled together, giving us time.
."
"How did you know?"
An Ning picked up her backpack and said three words to Jiang Xia.
"Read more books."
