"Wow -" Her voice was so penetrating that the crowd fell into a brief silence.
She looked directly at the man in black with burning eyes, as if she had seen through the conspiracy, and said firmly, "You said you bought this fish from me? Are you sure?"
The man was suddenly shocked by her momentum. He hesitated for a moment. After turning his eyes to the right, he gained infinite courage and replied in the same voice, "Nonsense! You are the only one here who advertises fresh live fish. Where else could I buy it if not from you?”
"Okay!" Chu Ye clapped her hands, people's attention shifted, and she raised her voice, "But I said - this fish! It was caught from the water a few days ago! It was not bought from me!"
"You fart!" The man in black exploded instantly. He was angry and anxious. He jumped up and pointed at Chu Ye's nose and cursed, "I think you, little girl, really need a lesson! Not only do you sell stinky fish! You also refuse to admit it! Now! You also poured dirty water on the guests, I think you really don’t want to do it anymore”
He turned his wrist, and the tattoo on his arm was completely exposed. The green dragon and white tiger showed their fierce looks, as if they were about to break through the skin and bite the person in front of him.
Uncle Wang hurriedly stood in front of the stall, but was waved aside by the man. Fortunately, there were many people around, and they all stopped Uncle Wang, so no one got into trouble.
Uncle Wang turned around and saw that the man was about to hit the stall ferociously again. He covered his chest and went limp, "Oh, yoyo - I have another heart attack... Hurry, this man is the murderer, don't let him get away." .”
Uncle Wang covered his heart with one hand and pointed tremblingly at the man in black with the other. The man turned his head in surprise. His original arrogance was gone, and his eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.
There were three or four people gathered around Uncle Wang, pulling him to the side to rest. Chu Ye also wanted to come over anxiously to see the situation, but saw Uncle Wang surrounded by people quietly winking at her, indicating that he was fine. .
Chu Ye felt relieved. She looked at the fish pieces on the chopping board and thought clearly about the doubts she had just discovered. Everyone's eyes were on Uncle Wang at this time. No one paid attention to her, but Chu Ye was thinking about it. After everything, turn your head and look to the right.
The stall owner on the right is a man of medium height. He has been working all year round so that he is not obese. He looks strong and muscular, with sparse eyebrows and slightly sunken cheeks. He looks like an honest man who earns hard money by setting up a stall.
At this time, he stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck. His eyes followed everyone and fell on Uncle Wang. After a moment, he met the man in black again. Both of them looked worried.
Suddenly, his eyes moved down and looked directly at Chu Ye. Under the light, Chu Ye's face was calm, and a pair of black eyes fell on him through the crowd. Her eyes reflected the bright white light, like a light that illuminated everything at night, dispelling the heavy haze.
Before he could react, Chu Ye's mouth curved to both sides, and finally he gave a bright smile, then turned his head.
This scene was too weird, and the creases between the man's eyebrows became more and more crowded. Why was Chu Ye just smiling at him? Did she discover something? It shouldn't be.
The situation at Uncle Wang's side has improved a lot. After such a commotion, the tense atmosphere just now has completely disappeared. As the saying goes, "it's easy to get angry, but then it fades." The man in black was full of anger, but he was forcibly interrupted by Uncle Wang. , In addition, he was the one who pushed the person at that time, and he was inevitably panicked when he heard Uncle Wang say that his heart was uncomfortable. Now that he saw that Uncle Wang's condition was improving, he was relieved.
He came here to make trouble after listening to his brother-in-law's words. If someone died because of this, he might as well have gone out and turned left and crashed into the street.
This bad thing happened one after another, and the crowd who joined in the fun was a little exhausted physically and mentally. However, in the mood of going back to gossip after seeing what happened, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Ye again.
Remember, what she said before? Oh...I remembered it! She said the fish was caught from the water.
hiss! Could it be that this person has piercing eyes? Can you even tell the difference between the fish you raise and the fish you catch?
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on them again, Chu Ye's eyebrows curved, and her clear, high-pitched female voice reached the ears of everyone present, "This fish has multiple scratches on its mouth. It looks like it was bitten in the water." It’s caused by hooks. If there are people here who like fishing, you might as well come up and check to see if it’s what I said.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two people squeezed out from behind, came to the stall, turned over the fish head and took a closer look.
"Yes, this is indeed caused by a fish biting the hook." One person spoke first, and the other person nodded in agreement.
The originally quiet crowd was like the wind blowing through a poplar forest, chattering and communicating.
"Ha! You two are the helpers she invited! Why did she just say what she said? Besides! This may be what she caught in the river!" The man said dissatisfied, but this time he learned wisely and only Move your mouth, don't dare to push others anymore.
As soon as he said this, the first person who was dissatisfied was the first person who came up to inspect the fish. He took off his straw hat and said in an unhappy tone, "Young man, your habit of splashing dirty water is not good. I can't do it for everyone." Please move.”
The man in black had a confused look on his face. Although he wanted to refute, seeing that this man dared to speak so confidently, he was a little unsure about his attitude.
At this moment, someone recognized the identity of the straw hat man, "Isn't this Boss Zhao! Hey, I almost didn't recognize him."
"Boss Zhao? Which Boss Zhao?"
"The steel mill to the east belongs to him."
"Ouch!"
"I heard that Boss Zhao likes fishing when he has nothing to do. He used to play together with Boss Han and Boss Wang."
"Then there's really no need to lie."
With a few words, everyone understood the identity of this person, and the man in black choked in his throat, thankful that he didn't say anything too outrageous just now.
Boss Zhao seemed to have seen through the essence of this farce. He looked at the man in black and asked, "Isn't this the fish you caught to blackmail someone on purpose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd started talking loudly. Boss Zhao had already said this, so he really couldn't tell what the truth was. The man in black stood at the center of public opinion and immediately retorted angrily, "This is the fish I bought! She must have caught it to get rid of responsibility!"
"First of all, I don't know how to fish. Secondly, isn't it easier to catch fish from the pond every day?" Chu Ye calmed down.
The man's face was full of annoyance, and he gritted his teeth, "Who knows if you can fish? What if you are lying!"
What he said was a bit unreasonable. Anyone present would know whose words were more reliable if they used their brains.
The original trend of supporting the man in black gradually changed, and people realized that perhaps from the beginning, this was a deliberate attempt to find trouble.
Chu Ye smiled, like a captain fighting against the waves. She easily steered the ship and fought off the menacing waves. She smiled lightly, pointed at the fish pieces calmly, and continued, "Okay, just think of it as the fish I caught. Now I have another question."
She paused, and everyone was attracted by her words. They all followed her fingers to look at the chopping board, but the man in black remained silent. No one knew that his heart was beating violently at this time, and cold sweat was pouring down his back. At this time, he was like a man on the grassland. prey, never knowing where the hunter's next shot will hit.
"I'm not very strong, so when I need to chop the fish body, I cut it from both sides. In the end, there will be obvious uneven cuts on the fish bones. But for the fish pieces here, the knife cuts cleanly. It can be seen that the fish bones are The neat cuts were cut with a strong knife. I don’t think I have the ability.”
"This..." The man in black was speechless for a moment.
Chu Ye took advantage of the victory and said clearly, "And the most important thing! Every time I handle fish, the fishy thread will be pulled out, but the fishy thread of your fish is still in the body!"
After saying that, she neatly fished out the live fish from the fish tank, knocked it out, scraped the scales, made small cuts and pulled out fishy threads. Finally, she disemboweled the fish, removed the internal organs and cut it into pieces. She did it all in one go, and only two minutes passed.
She pointed, "Can you all compare and see if what I said is false?"
Boss Zhao on the side came over first, looked through the fish pieces with his hands, and carefully compared the smelly fish pieces. Then he kept nodding, and more and more people gathered around. According to what Chu Ye said just now, they also discovered that There is indeed a big difference between the two types of fish fillets.
There were more and more voices supporting Chu Ye, and the unfriendly eyes gradually fell back on the man in black.
At this moment, Uncle Wang walked over from the side. He opened the plastic bag in his hand and said generously, "This is the fish I bought here before the blackmailer came. You can also check it out. Find out who is lying."
When the three kinds of fish pieces are put together, the contrast is very obvious, and every piece of evidence can be matched. It is clear at a glance who is lying and who is looking for trouble.
"I'm sorry! You're so big, you can work in a factory to make money, but you have the nerve to blackmail someone else's little girl?"
"It's so shameless! I just spoke for him!"
"Who knows where this guy lives? The reputation of this street has been ruined!"
"Take the fish you caught to try your luck? Bah!"
"Fortunately, the boss is smart, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark."
"Beat him! There are so many of us, I don't believe he dares to fight back!"
……
The infamy that fell on Chu Ye before fell on the man in black in hundreds.
I don’t know who started it. People smashed the things in their hands, including vegetables and frozen fish, especially those who bought cabbage. The cabbage was packed in plastic bags. It hurt people badly when they hit it.
The man in black was like a rat crossing the street, wailing and holding his head, and soon he ran out of the seafood market and disappeared without a trace.
The farce ended in a hurry. At this moment, some people began to feel embarrassed and apologized to Chu Ye for speaking for the man in black.
Chu Ye laughed and waved her hands and didn't take it to heart. Because of her actions, many people placed orders on the spot. The carps were all sold out quickly. There was only one carp left. She kept it and called out to Boss Zhao.
"Hello, I want to give this fish to you. Thank you for standing up and speaking just now." Chu Ye had a sincere smile on his face.
Boss Zhao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "You can keep it for yourself, I don't like fish, and fishermen don't eat fish, haha."
However, he stopped walking and asked one more question, "By the way, little girl, where is your fish pond?"
When people were talking before, Chu Ye also heard clearly that Boss Zhao and Han Zhao's father used to play together, so she honestly confessed, "It's the fish pond left by Boss Han."
< br>
"Oh? Did that guy Han Zhao sell it to you?"
"Yeah."
"How's that kid doing lately?"
"It's good. He lives near here now." She did not directly say where Han Zhao lived, and Boss Zhao didn't care, put on his straw hat with a smile and left.
Uncle Wang didn't know when he left with his things. Chu Ye regretted not saying thank you to Uncle Wang today.
Next time! Next time Uncle Wang comes to buy something, I will thank him properly.
After the crowd dispersed, she packed the smelly fish pieces on the chopping board into a bag, and packed the fish pieces she had chopped. After cleaning up her stall, she stood in front of the stall on the right with two plastic bags. .
There were no customers here at this time, and the stall owner looked at Chu Ye with horror on his face.
Chu Ye smiled, very sincerely, and said, "I have met that person before. He helped you move goods in Tangkou. You two were talking and laughing. You must be very close."
The stall owner's eyes widened and his fingers trembled as he stepped back. Chu Ye, leaning forward, put a bag of bad fish pieces on his chopping board and said quietly, "He left his stuff here when he left. You should be able to Give it back to him?”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
