The lake at Yueliangpao is as big as 200,000 acres, and today we only cast a single net. Even if we were to cast another twenty or thirty nets, there wouldn't be any problem at all. So, if we handle this fish well, the folks in the village could earn a tidy sum just from this one activity each year. Zixuan quickly did some mental calculations, and he felt reassured.
All the men in the village came to help load the fish, and every villager's face was adorned with joyful smiles. The bountiful catch this year was a sign that the next year would be another prosperous one with favorable winds and rainfall and an abundant harvest of grains. Everyone worked energetically, filled with aspirations for a better life.
