The Beginning of Siheyuan Blackmailing Yi Zhonghai

The lakeside of Miyun Reservoir.

Mu Diao found Secretary Zhao and took out the bottle of medicine in front of many fishermen.

“Mudiao, this thing is really so useful, your brother-in-law wouldn’t lie to you, right?”

"Yes, we have been fishing for half our lives. If we had such good bait, we would have less worries."

"Haha, I guess we fishermen won't be needed anymore."

“Yes, even children can fish.”

Secretary Zhao was also a little skeptical, so he took the bottle of medicine and was about to open it and smell it.

Mu Diao hurriedly stopped him.

"Secretary Zhao, my brother-in-law said that this stuff will be useless in the cold air after ten minutes, and it must be mixed with some white flour or something."

Secretary Zhao nodded. This is called volatilization, which he had learned before.

"Okay, then you go get the bait and we'll go get some ice."

"I've brought the white flour. Let's make some ice first and mix it later."

"That's fine. Come on, let's do it together. It won't take much effort anyway."

After Secretary Zhao spoke, no one objected. One by one, they picked up hammers and began to break the ice surface bit by bit. Others went to the shore to scoop up ice chips. They were busy in full swing.

As the saying goes, the speed of a train depends entirely on the locomotive.

Secretary Zhao personally worked on the project. It took more than 50 people more than an hour to dig out a 20-square-meter water surface from a layer of ice that was 20 to 30 centimeters thick.

After finishing the work, everyone put their sleeves in and watched the wood tuner make the bait, but most of them were looking forward to watching the fun.

If there were such good bait, what would fishermen do?

But Secretary Zhao is here, so it’s hard to say anything.

Preparing the bait is very simple, just stir it. For this purpose, Mu Diao even used an egg, his own.

After everything was done, I just kneaded a dough the size of a child's fist.

Mu Diao was a little unsure at this time. Everyone had been busy for so long, if it was useless, it would be a joke.

"Secretary Zhao, it's done. I'll scatter it on the shore in a bit. If there are any fish, you can use bamboo baskets to catch them."

"Well, that's fine. Let's get ready. Just in case there's a fish, we can't work in vain. Let's get moving."

Secretary Zhao's words were still very effective. Several people picked up something made of bamboo baskets that looked like a scoop net and came to the puddle.

The others were either squatting or standing by the pit. It wasn't that they didn't support Secretary Zhao's work, but there were only so many of these guys fishing.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Mu Diao nervously crumbled the dough and scattered it on the water. Everyone remained silent, watching the bait float on the water and then slowly sink to the bottom.

More than ten seconds passed, and occasionally a white fish back flashed by, but it did not cause any waves.

"The bait is OK, better than normal bait and can attract fish."

"Indeed, but it's not as miraculous as Mu Diao said. Eating it without regard for one's life is really an exaggeration."

"Forget it, just treat it as..."

Before he finished speaking, a dozen people were about to get up and go to the center of the lake when a fish more than half a meter long showed its head near the bait, swung its tail violently, and dived into the water.

Then came the second and the third, and soon the entire water surface began to surge. Countless fish began to stick their heads out of the water, trying to dive to the bottom of the water, but there was no space at all.

The entire water surface began to become turbid, and some fish even jumped directly onto the shore.

Secretary Zhao is still quick to react.

"What are you still standing there for? Go catch some fish! Quick!"

"Yes!"

Several people holding dustpans knelt directly on the ice, not caring about getting splashed with water, and began to frantically scoop fish onto the shore.

Every time, one or several fish of different sizes were scooped onto the shore, and soon there was no movement.

Others began looking for tools, shovels, buckets, and many wanted to jump into the water and catch fish with their bare hands.

Unfortunately, compared to the fish, the tools are still too few.

The fish came and went quickly. In just half a minute, all the fish disappeared quickly under the water, as if they had never appeared.

All the villagers, including Secretary Zhao, were soaked, but there was no joy on their faces. Only regret, and they hated themselves for not being prepared in advance.

Otherwise, the gain would not be just this.

In just half a minute, not counting the small fish weighing less than one kilogram, they caught more than one hundred large fish, nearly two hundred kilograms, which was their two-day task.

If you are well prepared, maybe it will double.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine.

Secretary Zhao and the villagers looked at Mu Diao like hungry wolves.

"Mu Diao, go find your brother-in-law again and make sure to get this bait."

"Secretary Zhao, this small bottle is twenty-eight yuan?"

The villagers gasped, while Secretary Zhao calculated in his mind, if he completed the task of 100 kilograms out of 300 kilograms, he could get 15 yuan, and if he could find a way to transport the remaining 200 kilograms to the city, he would get at least 60 yuan. This was a huge profit.

After working very hard for half a month, the village will have a prosperous New Year. This will be a thought for me to leave for the village before I leave.

"Buy one bottle first. I'll pay for it myself. When I make money, I'll take money from the village." Secretary Zhao made the decision directly.

"Okay, I'll go to Dawang Village now."

Mu Diao was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by Secretary Zhao.

"Wait a minute, this time the bait was given by others for free, but our village took advantage of them, so we can't not show some appreciation. Let's give half of these fish to them. Is that okay with everyone?"

"No problem, we'll listen to Secretary Zhao."

"Yes, we will do whatever Secretary Zhao says." The villagers immediately responded.

"Okay, Mu Diao, you take four people and take away half of the fish. Remember, pick the big ones."

"Ok."

When the fish were being distributed in Mujiatun, Wang Tiedan had already arrived at Dawang Village.

After giving all the salted fish and dried fish he brought back from his eldest sister's house to his mother, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.

Getting up too early in the morning is not in line with Wang Tiedan's health regimen.

As for the fish, it doesn’t matter whether Secretary Zhao uses it or not. He has enough fish to eat anyway.

Selling bait is fine, as it can be considered as helping a good official, but you must not sell too much. The principles of "a little bit of kindness will be resented, and scarcity makes things valuable" are very simple.

When Wang Tiedan was sleeping soundly, he felt something touching his nose. When he opened his eyes, he saw his niece Nannan sweeping his nose with a chicken feather.

"Nannan, why are you here?"

Wang Tiedan picked up the little girl and started tickling her.

The little girl laughed.

"I came with my father."

Wang Tiedan also heard the noise outside, and hurriedly got up, picked up his niece and walked out the door.

At this time, the yard was full of people. My brother-in-law was chatting with my mother-in-law, and many people from the village had also come.

Seeing Wang Tiedan coming out, Mu Diao immediately walked over and whispered, "Tiedan, the village caught a lot of fish with your medicine. Our Secretary Zhao asked me to send you half of it, which is more than 100 kilograms."

Wang Tiedan thought he was going to give two or four gifts, but he didn't expect Secretary Zhao to be so generous.

"Given so much, you guys can't live like this?"

"As he should be. Our Secretary Zhao is just that kind of person. He won't take advantage of others for no reason."

"Okay, thank Secretary Zhao for me. I'll accept it."

"No, our Secretary Zhao wants to buy that medicine, do you have any left?" Mu Diao said as he started to stuff money into his pocket.

"Yes, there is."

"Then give me a bottle first."

Wang Tiedan was not surprised either.

"We don't have it today. Ask my second brother to get it the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come back the day after tomorrow."

It was getting late, so Mu Diao said goodbye to his mother-in-law and left with the villagers, but the little girl stayed behind.
