Chapter 185 When can I get to the Ten Thousand Yuan household?
Comparing the eight nets with those from yesterday, Li Long felt that today’s fish could weigh up to eighty kilograms—a four-finger net hung at least seventeen or eighty kilograms of large crucian carp!
Did you poke into the fish nest today? Didn’t he remember that big crucian carp likes to swim in groups?
Of course, no matter what, this is a good thing!
Li Long was very excited, but also very careful. He had to work hard to keep the balance of the tires so as not to be dragged down by the three urea bags being dragged behind.
Now Li Long has some regrets. He should have come back when he should have picked up the four nets, and then picked them up again. Being too greedy can lead to trouble.
Finally rowed to the shore, but before he could speak, Tao Daqiang said excitedly while helping to pull the fish to the shore:
"Brother Long, I found another fish in the water. It’s a mouse’s nest. Let’s come and dig it out this afternoon.”
"Okay." Li Long said with a smile, "When I get the fish back, I will take out the water rat. This time I take out the water rat, and the skin will be sold for half the cents."
"Okay. "Tao Daqiang said with a happy smile, "There are a lot of fish today."
"It's quite a lot, and there are more Dabanqing. After choosing the fish later, you can take back a few. The Daban crucian carp will be delicious when stewed!"
"Okay."
The two men returned to Li's house carrying fish and tires, and started choosing fish without taking any rest.
This time, most of the fish on the Internet are crucian carp. Among the crucian carp, the large plate crucian carp weighing more than 500 grams weighs more than 20 kilograms. It looks so beautiful. Even Li Jianguo couldn't help but say:
"This is the first time I have seen so many big crucian carps. This fish looks so beautiful!"
"We picked out some Daqiang and took them back, and asked Juan and Qiangqiang to send some to her grandfather's house." Li Long said, "This fish is good, so we must first make it cheaper for our family."
Select out and give them away. In addition to keeping the food for himself, Li Long divided the rest into two bags and put them on the back seat of the bicycle with the help of Li Jianguo. There was no need to send Li Juan off today, so he went directly to Shicheng himself.
Li Long feels that the fish sold in Ma County is too slow. He plans to go to the county market to sell fish one day when there are less fish caught.
The township middle school also had a holiday on weekends. Gu Xiaoxia should have gone home yesterday. Li Long glanced at the direction of the middle school dormitory and continued riding the car. Make money, work hard to earn a household worth 10,000 yuan, then it will be easy to build a house and marry a wife.
Shicheng Old Street is still lively. Li Long came early this time. He chose a good location, placed the fish and started to shout.
Many people were impressed by Li Long's fish and gathered around after seeing him coming.
There was a mixed crowd at the station. When Li Long saw people coming around, he immediately raised his vigilance. While weighing the fish for the old customers, he shouted loudly:
"Don't crowd, don't be anxious, you'll lose it." It's troublesome if you get something. Also, if you stretch your hand into the basin, my fish will be alive, and it will be stirred up to death. If others can't buy fresh ones, then you can't be blamed...As for you, just take this hand back!"
Li Long slapped one hand back while weighing it. He glanced at the crowd from time to time, turning a blind eye to the hands reaching out to hand out money, and weighed the fish one by one.
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother, please be more careful with your hands, don't touch randomly, don't touch other people's pockets - everyone should pay attention to their own wallets..."
"Ouch! My bag... Who the hell touched my bag! They almost took away my money!" Someone exclaimed in the crowd. Li Long smiled and continued to weigh fish.
However, he has already increased his vigilance. It seems that the plan has changed. He will not be able to come here tomorrow. Do thieves dare to take out the money so openly now?
As soon as they heard that there was a thief, the crowd dispersed immediately. Everyone touched their bags and felt relieved after touching them.
It is not surprising that the old street has a large flow of people, so it is natural that they would like this place. But we will crack down hard next year and next year, and I think it will be better by then.
Li Long continued to sell fish. The big crucian carp looked similar to carp and was very beautiful. Many people wanted it. In less than half an hour, all the big crucian carps in the basin were sold out, and they cost one yuan a piece. The price per kilogram made Li Long very happy.
In the remaining time, there were not so many people. Fortunately, the time was still long and Li Long was not in a hurry.
The first group of people dispersed, and a little man came over and said to Li Long with a gloomy face:
"Boy, are you from out of town? I advise you to stop taking care of so many things. Things, otherwise..." There was murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Long sneered, took out the long knife given to him by Li Jianguo from his waist, played with it twice in his hand, and said:
"Otherwise, what are you going to do? ?”
The little man didn't expect Li Long to be so ruthless. He looked at both sides and said ruthlessly:
"You're ruthless, we'll see!"
Li Long watched this guy disappear into the crowd and put away the knife.
At this time, the real order has not yet been established, and everyone, including the above, is still groping, so it is normal for some dark side things to appear.
Shicheng is a corps city, which is generally better. In my own county, in a few years, it will be completely normal for young men to fight on the street with a dagger in their hand. When he was really being chased by the police, he would just throw the knife away casually. Such things were common for young people.
Another car came into the station and twenty or thirty people got off. Li Long immediately shouted loudly and once again recruited some people to come over to ask about the price and buy fish.
At this time, when he was selling fish every day, he would cut a handful of Achnatherum splendens on the roadside. This thing is very tough and can pass through the mouth of the fish and come out from the gill cover, just enough to be lifted.
More than an hour later, Li Long finished selling the fish, packed up his things, and looked around cautiously. He didn't find the little man, so he went to the milk tea house he had visited that day.
The Uyghur young man who spoke authentic Henan dialect still remembered Li Long and greeted him with a smile:
“Fellow, have you sold out all the fish?”
"Did you see me selling fish?"
"I not only saw you selling fish, but I also saw that bastard threatening you. Good job, you can't bow to such a coward." .”
Listen to this accent, Looking at this face again, Li Long wanted to laugh, but didn't:
"Then, can you bow to them?"
"But be careful next time you come here, there are several of them. Personally.”
"It's okay. Next time I come over, I'll bring the gun. If he dares to touch me, I'll beat him up!" Li Long said seriously.
The young man glanced at Li Long and didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but he still gave a thumbs up:
"You are the one! We are from low-income families and we don't dare to mess with you. He, they usually don't come to us..."
"It's okay, I'll just drink milk tea and I'll be there soon. Let's go."
"Then you're insulting me!" The young man was unhappy, "I just said that I can't help you, but you can sit here as long as you want. If they really block you, you can come to my store. No matter what, I can still call a few people over!”
"Okay." Li Long joked, "Here's a bowl of milk tea and some naan. Do you have any food here?"
"Would you like the fried potato shreds?"
"Have one."
After breakfast, Li Long went out of the shop and looked around. He still didn't see the little man. He was slightly relieved and rode away from the old street.
This time he did not take the original route, but went around to the city and out of the city.
Although he had a knife in his hand, there was really not much he could do if three or five people blocked him with sticks or other tools. Looks like I really need to bring a gun next time.
Selling a fish with a gun, is that a big fuss?
At this time, Ma Jinbao was showing off to Xu Jianjun at Xiaohaizi:
"Did you see it? This is the hole Li Long and Tao Daqiang dug that day. They said they dug water rats. I don’t know what’s so good about that thing. It’s just a big rat. The meat is inedible and the skin doesn’t look good. It’s not as good as a rabbit...”
Xu Jianjun heard Ma Jinbao mention what kind of holes Li Long and Tao Daqiang were digging in Xiaohaizi while chatting in the store last night, so he came here to ask. He deliberately expressed disbelief. As a result, Ma Jinbao, who was not excited, not only brought him here today to point out the location, but also talked about what Li Long and Tao Daqiang dug at that time.
Although Xu Jianjun looks down on Li Long, he is still very clear about Li Long's ability to make money.
Since Li Long and Tao Daqiang can dig this, it means that this thing must be valuable.
So he said to Ma Jinbao:
"Old Ma, don't tell others about this..."
"What are you afraid of? I told you yesterday and no one cared." Xu Jianjun is Xu Chengjun's cousin, so Ma Jinbao still needs to give him some face.
"It's okay, just don't say anything." Xu Jianjun handed Ma Jinbao a snow lotus cigarette, "Then can you see if there are similar holes near here?"
"Also "Yes?" Ma Jinbao said happily. He took the cigarette happily, sniffed it before putting it in his nose, clamped it to his ear and refused to smoke. He thought for a while and said, "I remember there should be a few more holes like this...shall I take you over to have a look?"
"Okay." Xu Jianjun was overjoyed.
Ma Jinbao and Xu Jianjun walked along the east bank of Xiaohaizi for a while, stopped and pointed to a hole and said:
"Look at it there?"
Xu Jianjun looked at the grass mound there. It seemed that there were traces of something crawling under the water, and he wanted to take a look.
“Don’t get too close, the teeth of that thing are so long, it must bite very hard!” Ma Jinbao reminded hurriedly, he saw the teeth of the water rat yesterday.
Xu Jianjun was startled and immediately backed away. After thinking about it, he went back to get the shovel.
Ma Jinbao looked at Xu Jianjun’s back with some confusion:
"Is this thing really valuable? Does it need to be so troublesome?"
Xu Jianjun returned home, took the shovel and went to Xiaohaizi. His wife shouted from behind:
"What are you going to do?"
"Go and make money." Xu Jianjun said with some pride, "Wait until I get something good and sell it for money." I’ll buy you a flower headscarf!”
Xu Jianjun’s daughter-in-law was happy when she heard this. She also became diligent at home and looked forward to wearing a flower headscarf tomorrow.
Xu Jianjun was still thinking about it as he walked towards Xiaohaizi.
Since you, Li Long, are not going to take me with you if you have a job in autumn, can’t I make money by myself?
He guessed that Li Long and the others dug this thing either for the meat or for the skin. It's unlikely that it's meat, it's just skin. When the time comes, you can peel off the skin and go to the purchasing station to ask.
When Xu Jianjun arrived at Xiaohaizi, he dug along the entrance of the cave.
He didn't know that the water rat would have several holes. He dug out the hole with great difficulty and saw a grass nest not far inside, and the grass on it was very fresh. Xu Jianjun became happy. It seemed that There's something in there!
But after digging for half an hour, he found that there was nothing in the hole!
He dug another nest, but it was empty. He clearly felt that there was something inside, but he kept digging until the sun passed noon. When he turned westward, he was already soaked in sweat. He was three to five meters away. The main road and branch roads were all dug up, but nothing was seen.
When a branch road was dug into the water, Xu Jianjun realized that there was a hidden hole in this thing!
It’s too late to regret.
Walking home listlessly, his wife had already cleaned the house. Seeing that he was back, she immediately ran over with hope and asked:
"What good stuff have you got? Are you still hiding it?"
"I didn't get it." Xu Jianjun looked tired, "We'll talk about it later, get me a glass of water, Kang (thirsty) ).”
“Then you went all the way for nothing?” His wife was not happy when she heard this, “You went all the way for nothing and you lied to me?”
< br>She is not happy that the flower headscarf is gone!
It was just after noon when Li Long returned home. Li Jianguo and the others were resting, and the rice was left in the pot, but Li Long was not very hungry.
"Daqiang has picked up the net. Are you going to unload it this afternoon?" Li Jianguo asked.
“Go, the fish sales have been very good these two days.” Li Long said, “My father and mother will come over in a while. Make some money now, and then I will move to Lao Ma Hao. Let’s clean up a house and live there. My parents can live in my house.”
“That’s okay,” Li Jianguo nodded. He has also thought about this matter. If his parents want to come over, the place to live will be a big problem. Fortunately, there are a lot of empty houses over at Lao Ma No., and although they look a little dilapidated, after tidying them up, painting them, and adding some furniture, it will be more spacious than at home.
"You should have almost finished the furniture over there in your village. Go take a look when you have time." Li Jianguo said, "Whenever you have time, I will bring it back or bring it to your mountain side. Otherwise, it won't work. Okay."
"Well, I'll bring a load of wood over in two days to make the furniture for the house over there."
In the future, the team will build a house, and there will be a house at the horse number, and then there will be a big yard on the street, and a wooden house in the mountains. How wonderful!
He was pleased with himself and waited until Tao Daqiang came over. Then the two of them carried shovels, nets, tires and bags and walked towards Xiaohaizi.
Arrived at Xiaohaizi, Li Long put down the net and said to Tao Daqiang:
"It's still early, let's dig out water rats first, and then lower the net."
"Okay." Tao Daqiang took Li Long to find the water rat hole he saw.
"Eh?" Looking at the freshly dug traces there, Li Long said nothing and Tao Daqiang was a little confused.
When he reacted, he immediately turned around and stammered to Li Long:
“Brother Long, I didn’t dig it, it wasn’t me who dug it...”
He He was afraid that Li Long would suspect him of digging up water rats when Li Long was selling fish.
Li Long smiled when he saw Tao Daqiang's nervous look.
