The village chief Li Yue heard the villagers' discussion. He originally wanted the villagers not to talk about the housekeeper like this, and not to forget that it was the housekeeper Xiaoliu who saved the whole village when the beast came down the mountain.
But the discussion in the village was so intense that some people had already said that the housekeeper had made money and wanted to stand out in the village and ask for compliments to please them.
The village chief Li Yue wanted to speak out, but after hearing such words, he shut up and fell silent. These matters in the village can only be left to the housekeepers themselves.
After Ye Lulu left the stall, the fish that were moved were consumed very quickly, and the fish in the pond were almost exhausted. This morning, Guan Chibei could only continue to go to the river to fish.
He brought the largest basket because he wanted to catch enough fish at one time and keep them in the pond without having to go down to the river every day.
It's just spring now, and it's still a chilly time. Although the river has thawed, the water is still very cold. There are still some broken ice in it from time to time, and you can shiver for a while when you stand in the river.
But Guan Chibei didn't realize it at all. He walked down the river calmly, stood in the river, and started to fish.
There were many and hungry fish at the beginning of spring. Guan Chibei put some fish food at the bottom of the bamboo basket. The fish in the river smelled the fragrance of the food and immediately came over one after another.
There are so many black-backed fish that they have grown on the river bottom under the ice throughout the spring. Each fish is lively and powerful, but hungry, and they rush into the bamboo basket.
Guan Chibei doesn't have to do anything. As long as he has enough arm strength and speed, he can pull the bamboo basket out of the water with a sudden movement. The fish will not have time to run out, and they will be trapped in the bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket is hand-knitted and has gaps, and the river water inside is flowing out.
In the end there was only a basket of fish left.
There are also grass carp and black fish, all of different species, jumping around in the bamboo baskets. Guan Chibei calmly poured a basket of fish into the wooden bucket. On the shore, Da Mao also led a large group of housekeepers' little furry children, and lifted the wooden bucket away with a huff, then carried it home and put it into the pool. keep.
Guan Chibei lowered his eyebrows and started to fish for the second basket.
Just after a winter, the fish in the river multiplied too much. Guan Chibei stood in the river, surrounded by fish, and the bamboo basket in his hand was full of black-backed fish.
While Guan Chibei was fishing, a villager passed by and saw Guan Chibei standing in the river with fish in his hands.
The villager, who was jealous of the housekeeper, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said to Guan Chibei who was in the river below:
"Butler Xiaoliu? You took so many fish from the river? Do you know this river, but the river in the village, it is publicly owned by the village, you took so many fish for nothing, that's Isn’t it appropriate to take away the fish from the village?!”
This villager is a well-known and somewhat shameless person in the village. He is not very good at other things, but he is particularly good at shouting to attract people. He squinted at Guan Chibei with evil intentions, and the villager said loudly again:
"It stands to reason that the river is shared by the village, and the fish in the river are naturally shared by everyone in the village and belong to the village. Now that you have caught so many fish by yourself, aren't you taking away everyone else's fish? ?!”
"Butler Xiaoliu, you butlers have set up stalls and made a lot of money, but you still want to take things from people in the village for free. Isn't it unreasonable?"
The man shouted in an amplified voice, which immediately attracted the nearby villagers to come over, because the steward was the focus of attention in the village when he was mentioned recently.
Immediately, many villagers came over. When they saw Guanchi Beiren in the river, the basket in front of him was full of energetic fish flapping, their eyes were a little greedy.
After hearing the nonsense that Lai Han said, some villagers echoed: "Butler Six, did you catch so many fish in the river?"
"You went to the city to do business and made a lot of money. Why do you want to catch fish from the village river? I don't have the capital to buy them, hehe."
"It's such a big basket and it's full. You housekeepers are going too far. If you catch all the fish in the village river, doesn't it mean that everyone else's share is taken away, and we don't have any more fish to catch?"
"Bah! The housekeeper is so shameless. After catching so many fish, he just caught them directly to make food and sell them for money. It's so shameless! Take the fish from the village and sell them to make money for yourself? How can you make money at home? That makes sense!"
"It's true. I came to my senses as soon as you said it. How could a housekeeper be like this? If he goes to the city to make money, he will become lawless. As expected, he doesn't take the people in the village seriously. He dares to do such a thing!"
"That's right! That's right! You can't do this!"
"Anyway, I don't agree! The river belongs to the village, and we have our share of the fish. I don't agree!"
"Neither can I!"
As the villagers spoke, their expressions turned ugly. They all stood by the river, eyes blazing, staring at Guan Chibei like enemies.
The crowd's voice turned to protest, and they were shouting at Guan Chibei. Someone else said: "Butler Liu, there is no such thing as a free thing in the world. You stewards have caught so many fish in the river, so you have to give money to the village and buy them with money." Fish in the river.”
In fact, it is very unreasonable to say these things. After all, they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and all the villagers take things from the rivers on the mountains for free. Who gets more and who gets less all depends on their own ability, otherwise they can still care about each other? !
What's the point of not letting people pick wild vegetables and mushrooms
But now this group of villagers feel that Guan Chibei, or the housekeeper, went out to do business and made so much money, and now that he has caught so many fish, he must pay the price.
"right!"
"Either you put all the fish back, how can you catch so many fish for nothing, use them to do business, and your housekeeper keeps the money you make?"
"Yes, if you must catch fish, then you can either take care of the house, or you can share some of the money you earn from fishing with all of us. That's fine."
"yes!"
"right!"
The commotion here also attracted more villagers, and soon a large group of villagers gathered by the river with considerable momentum.
The laizi's face was full of pride. After hearing this, the villagers' eyes lit up and they immediately responded urgently. A woman's eyes almost flashed out, she looked at Guan Chibei who was still standing in the river and shouted:
"You butlers have made so much money out there. Is that okay if you share some of it with the villagers and use it as buying fish? You're not that picky, right? You all fished the fish from the village river and sold them!"
Seeing that a group of villagers were dissatisfied and protesting, they were about to go to the village chief and ask the housekeeper to make a serious promise on how to use the money to buy "village" fish.
Looking up, facing the greedy eyes of a group of villagers by the river, Guan Chibei was surrounded in the middle, unmoving and unflustered, his expression unchanged.
