Chapter 553: Little Tiger Chasing the Rod
When Zhang An was eating melon, the little tiger next to him stretched out his big mouth and kept sticking out his tongue. He probably felt very hot too.
"You still don't listen when I ask you not to follow me. It's so hot."
So Zhang An took two bites, then broke off a piece and fed it to Xiaohu's mouth.
This watermelon has a lot of water content. As soon as Zhang An handed it over, Xiaohu opened his mouth to hold it, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.
Not to mention, that serious look seems a bit human.
When the third aunt saw this, she didn’t say Zhang An wasted like others, because she knew what Xiaohu and the others were capable of, and eating a few pieces of melon was nothing.
“Hey, your big dog looks like a human when eating watermelon. It’s really rare.”
People who were buying watermelon from the stall saw the big tiger eating watermelon. He looked like he was immediately amazed.
If the little tiger hadn't been so big and looked a little scary, several women nearby would have wanted to come up and touch its head.
"Haha, this watermelon must be so delicious, even the dogs like it."
When Zhang An heard this, he broke off half of the watermelon for Xiaohu, and quietly gave it to the third aunt's melon stall. An ad.
"Auntie, your business is so good, I feel like the ones I sold to Ding Yi some time ago made a loss."
Waiting for this group of buyers. After the people were sent away, Zhang Ancai sighed.
After just staying here for a short time, he could already feel the booming business here.
Just when I was eating a piece of melon, people were buying melons in front of the stall one after another. When there were many people, there was even a small queue. Sometimes the third aunt was too busy just to collect and change money.
"How can it be possible? In the village, there are only a lot of people selling and buying, but there are not many people buying whole."
The third aunt was sweating profusely from her work. But he looked happy, wiped his sweat with the wet towel hanging around his neck, and said with a smile.
I just sent away some melon-buying customers in front of the stall, and I had some time to take out two more watermelons to cut.
There are two ways to sell melons at San Auntzi’s melon stall. One is to sell whole melons by weighing them directly.
Another method is to cut the melon into pieces, and even help peel it and put it on bamboo skewers for sale.
Although the price of whole melons is cheap, there are few buyers. Zhang An only saw two sold in this half day.
The price of cutting it into pieces and selling them is a little more expensive, basically it’s 50 cents for Xiaoya and one piece for Daya.
However, there are surprisingly many buyers who come to buy it like this. Basically, passers-by will buy it together and take it to relieve the heat.
After all, most people are out to play. It is not convenient to buy a big watermelon and hold it. If there are too few people, it will be impossible to finish it.
It doesn’t cost much to buy a Yaya, and it’s also very light.
"Auntie, who told you this method? If you sell one melon, you can sell two melons."
Although a watermelon only sold for 50 cents , but after careful calculation, it is much more cost-effective to cut it up and sell it than to sell it whole.
The key is that everyone likes to buy it, so the buying speed is not slow. It was sold out soon after it was cut and put on the display.
"Hey, this is what Binzi told us. He said that this is what they sell at the entrance of the school, and a lot of people buy it. I thought there are a lot of people among us, so I might as well give it a try. I didn't expect it. Very easy to sell.”
If I could sell my watermelon and get more money, anyone would be happy to trade it for me.
"Auntie, I will freeze some ice cubes for you tonight. When you go out to the stall tomorrow, bring them over and sell them with watermelons. The iced ones will be 50 cents higher then."
< br>Zhang An thought the watermelon from his third uncle’s house was quite delicious and tasted quite sweet, but because the sun was too strong, the watermelon still lacked flavor when eaten.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that it almost tastes cold, so if I use ice cubes to chill it, I guess it will be in place. Anyway, I have a freezer at home, so it is convenient to help get some ice cubes.
“It’s better not to go to all this trouble. If you want to freeze the ice cubes, the freezer must be turned on at high settings all night. It’s a waste of electricity.”
Zhang Tie usually plays TV for a while. The third aunt was worried about the electricity bill, and the freezer must consume more power than the TV. When she thought of leaving it on all night and turning it on high, she immediately thought how much electricity it would use.
“Oh, Auntie, you don’t use a few kilowatt hours of electricity. You just sell a few melons and you can make back the electricity bill. If it doesn’t work, I’ll calculate the electricity bill for you, Auntie.”
< br>Zhang An didn't say this just to be kind to Aunt Three. The price of electricity has been reduced in the past two years, to more than 50 cents per unit, which is much cheaper than before.
“But if it goes up by 50 cents, will anyone really buy it if it’s so expensive? Otherwise, it’s better not to bother.”
The third aunt thought for a while, and a watermelon sold for more than one yuan. It was too expensive, and she was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Auntie, look at how big the sun is. Anyone passing by doesn't want to eat something cold. A popsicle of such a small size costs a few cents. What's wrong with buying such a large piece of watermelon for an extra 50 cents? By then There must be a lot of people buying it.”
The big piece of Third Aunt Zi’s melon weighs half a catty. It takes a while for adults to buy it. It’s really not too expensive.
"That's it, let's get some and try it tomorrow."
When the third aunt saw Zhang An telling her sincerely for a long time, she no longer hesitated.
This is why my nephew would think so much about his family. Who else would bother with this?
"Then you are busy, Aunt Ha, while I go to the front for a walk."
After Zhang An and Xiaohu each ate two pieces of melon, they no longer bothered here. Third aunt's business.
After all, some people feel uncomfortable bringing a big dog here at a food stall.
I walked a few steps along the river bank towards the lotus pond, and found that there was a place where a fishing platform was set up, surrounded by many people, making a lot of noise.
This situation is fun to watch. Zhang An came out to kill time because he was bored.
Seeing that there was a lot of fun to join in, I naturally followed it without hesitation.
“Brother, what’s going on here?”
When we came to the edge of the crowd, there were so many people that we couldn’t see what was going on inside.
“Hey, there is a buddy inside. I don’t know what he picked up, and the pole was stretched into a big bow.”
The fishing friend next to him was very enthusiastic and very refreshing. He helped Zhang An answer the question, but when he saw Xiaohu beside him, he inadvertently twitched the corner of his mouth and leaned to the side.
What this guy did was exactly what Zhang An wanted. When he stood up, he could see the scene inside.
Sure enough, there was a guy inside who was struggling to put the pole on the ground and pull it hard. It looked like he had used up all his strength to suck the fish. It felt like the fish should be quite big.
Fortunately, Diaoyutai is not a small place. Although everyone was watching, they still left enough space.
This kind of thing happens often in the village, because there are too many people coming to fish this season, and the resources in the river are so good, they appear every day. Zhang An himself had been watched several times, and he was also watched harshly by others when he was sneaking out to Lao Qing.
However, the quality of current fishing rods is good. If they are replaced by some manufacturers in the future, they will explode for you in a matter of minutes when encountering such a big fish.
"Brother, why don't you call your dog to play next to it? It really scares me to see such a big dog."
The buddy who was talking to Zhang An just now , after thinking about it, he turned around and said to Zhang An with a grimace.
Zhang An replied with a smile and said yes. After all, not everyone likes dogs, and some people have been afraid of dogs since they were young. This really needs to be understood.
It just so happened that he was not too interested in watching people walking fish, so he planned to take Xiaohu to other places.
“Oh haha~”
At this moment, there was a long and long booing sound from the crowd.
Chinese people’s gene for watching fun has always been engraved in their bones. Zhang An didn’t have much interest in it at first, but when the “Oh Huh” came out, he couldn’t help but go back and join in the fun.
Originally, he thought it was the guy's pole that exploded, but when he turned around, he found that the pole hadn't exploded, but that guy had been in a stalemate for too long, and his hand suddenly cramped, causing the fish in the water to drag the rod. Went to the river.
For those who fish together, watching others catch big fish will definitely make them jealous.
So as soon as I saw this guy take off his fishing rod, the joy from the bottom of my heart converged into a cry of oh and I said it out loud.
"Xiaohu, go."
Zhang An pointed at the river and ordered Xiaohu.
Looking at the hopeless look on the man's face, he was both a fisherman, and Zhang An understood his feelings very well.
I finally fell in love with a big guy. If the rod blew up, I would feel better, but it would be a pity if I missed the rod. I guess I would have to stay awake for several nights when I got home.
Looking at the strength of the buddy’s fishing rod just now, Zhang An was sure that the one who bit the hook was not Da Laoqing.
After all, if this guy is not using rebar, any fishing rod he comes with can blow you up in minutes. The fish on this rod should be a guy much smaller than Da Laoqing.
Of the fish in the river, only Da Lao Qing would be concerned about Zhang An. Now he felt that was not the case, so he asked Xiao Hu to go into the water to help recover the fishing rod.
Although he didn't know what happened, after hearing his master's instructions, the little tiger immediately jumped into the river with the movement of a tiger coming out of the mountain.
As soon as I jumped into the river, there was a big splash of water immediately, but it was still much more graceful than the falling posture of Feihou's divers.
Originally, the tiger cub was very eye-catching because of its huge size. The movement of jumping into the water instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Just the next second later, everyone was stunned, because the little tiger had already pounced on the fishing rod and bit it, and was swimming towards the shore.
But as soon as Xiaohu exerted his strength, he was pulled back by the big fish hooked on the fishing rod.
Although the little tiger is extremely powerful, even if it encounters a big wild boar, it can do whatever it wants, but it cannot exert its strength in the water, so it is naturally no match for the big fish in the river.
"Brother, why don't you call your dog back? If the pole is lost, it will be lost, but don't try to hook up with such a good dog again."
The people around him started talking. Seeing that Xiaohu was still struggling to hold on to the fishing rod, but was being pulled back by the fish, he still spoke to Zhang An.
We usually see countless dogs guarding homes and homes, but this is the first time we have seen one that can help chase fishing rods.
After all, most dogs these days are kept to look after homes, but not many people keep them as pets.
Judging from Xiaohu’s size and obedience, everyone knew that he was a good dog, so they didn’t want to hitch a ride on Xiaohu because the river was too wide and deep, making it very dangerous.
"It's okay, don't worry. It has been playing in this river since it was a child. It has good water properties. If it really can't be pulled back, it will definitely let go."
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Zhang An gave everyone a reassuring look and said.
Are you kidding? Even if the little tiger fails to snatch the fishing rod back, he will definitely not have any accidents. If not, he will still be watching from the river.
Soon, the water quality cultivated in the river since childhood finally took effect. Xiaohu quickly stabilized his decline by using the buoyancy of the river water flowing downwards.
Then he floated steadily on the water, adjusting his direction to compete with the fish in the water. Looking at it like that, there was actually a trace of the essence of fishing in it.
“Damn it, it was grabbed by force. Brother, you are such a loser, how can it even sneak away?”
Seeing this scene, the man next to me All the fishing guys were dumbfounded.
"Haha, maybe I learned it because I often watched you fishing by the river."
Zhang An laughed, after all, Xiaohu and the others are not ordinary dogs, they can do a lot of things. He wasn't surprised at all when this happened.
Soon, the surrounding shores were crowded with people, whether fishing or not, people came over to join in the fun.
Fishing is an ordinary thing, but a dog fishing in the river completely attracted the attention of many people, regardless of whether they can fish or not, at this moment They all stopped for Xiaohu.
At this moment, the psychology of everyone around them is different.
People who like fishing: Damn, this is a good dog. I really want to keep one.
People who don’t know how to fish: Even a dog can fish, but I’m not even as good as a dog.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fish in the river may have lost their strength, so they were dragged back to the shore bit by bit by the little tiger.
As if asking for credit, Xiaohu swam up to Zhang An and handed over the fishing rod with his head raised.
Although everyone was completely conquered by the little tiger's astonishing behavior, its huge dog head was still as scary as ever, so no one dared to reach out and take the fishing rod from its mouth. Back, including the owner of this pole.
Seeing this, Zhang An had no choice but to take the fishing rod out of the little tiger's mouth and stroke its wet head twice as a reward.
"Brother, here, your pole, you should keep the missing rope in the future, otherwise it will be a big deal if you lose the fishing pole, and you may not be able to catch the big fish if it runs away."
Turning around, Zhang An handed the wet fishing rod to the buddy who had just slipped away and had a cramp in his hand.
“Okay, thank you brother, and thank you for your big dog buddy.”
The owner of the fishing rod gratefully took the fishing rod from Zhang An and thanked him profusely.
It is said that Diaoyu is very pure, Zhang An finally saw it today.
No matter who he is, as long as he can fish, he is a good buddy. Even Xiaohu is now regarded as one of their own.
