Chapter 100 - 99: Have a Plan (One More Update)
"Lin Wan wants crayfish?" Huang Dashan glanced outside the door and whispered, "Lin Wan, how much are you looking to get?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Wan knew there was a way. "I need it regularly, at least fifty pounds a day, but they must meet my standards. If the crayfish are too small, it’s not acceptable."
"That much! How much are you offering per pound?" Sister-in-law Huang asked eagerly.
"One yuan per pound. If there are catfish, I’ll take them too, thirty cents per pound. The fish should be over a pound, twenty fish per day," Lin Wan said decisively and straightforwardly.
The Huang family found this tempting. It’s more profitable than mushroom picking. They have a winding river here with plenty of fish and shrimp, though not much else. Usually, when not working, villagers go to the river to catch a netful to satisfy their cravings. There’s plenty of this stuff, but it’s not valuable. Who would have thought they could sell it for money? Seeing the bright money, the Huang couple was tempted.
Seeing their troubled expressions, Lin Wan, being experienced, understood the situation somewhat.
"Brother Huang, don’t worry. Many places nationwide have already dissolved the communes and have become privately contracted. Our side privatized two years ago, and I’m sure it’ll happen here soon too. As for what I’m suggesting, you can absolutely discuss it with the village party secretary and village chief. Although it’s not a lot, it’s still a considerable income, and it’s beneficial for the village."
Listening to Lin Wan’s words, Huang Dashan became clear-minded and smiled at Lin Wan, "Sister, could you give us a few days to think it over?"
