Chapter 19 Soldiers come to the door
The next day, noon.
Riding a bicycle with a basket tied to the frame on the back, it was not until this moment that Jiang Yaofang returned from selling fish on the street.
My mother, Yuan Xiuhua, sells vegetables in a large market above the county seat.
Jiang Yao didn't go that far. The place where he sells fish is in the small vegetable market not far away after crossing the bridge.
His two fish were already dead when he brought them home last night, and they were kept at home for another night. It was already a bit stale when he proposed them for sale this early in the morning.
There is nothing wrong with selling the fresh big grass carp from Yuanjiang River for four yuan a pound, but Jiang Yao’s two fish are a bit unsaleable.
He only asked for three yuan per catty, but it took him a whole morning to successfully sell these two fish.
Of course, the reason why this fish is so difficult to sell is not only because it is not very fresh, but also because it is too big.
After all, when ordinary people buy fish to eat at home, how can they buy such a large fish? Only restaurants, restaurants, or some canteens and other places use such big fish. .
The two fish combined were sold for less than sixty yuan.
In addition to the fact that the fish shrank a bit after being put down overnight, when he finally sold the big fish, he shouted for three yuan a pound, but others were only willing to pay two yuan and eighty yuan.
There is no other way, Jiang Yao can only sell it.
After all, he couldn't afford to delay on such a hot day. The fish would become even less valuable if it couldn't be sold and tasted.
Although this amount of money is not much, it is already a considerable fortune for Jiang Yao today.
After selling the fish, he immediately went to the fishing gear store and spent a few dollars to buy a large net bag to hold the fish after he caught it.
The fishing nets, sea rods, etc. in the fishing gear shop were all things Jiang Yao used. He was a little greedy when he saw them, but he didn't buy them in the end.
After all, although he sold the fish, he only had so little money in his pocket for the time being.
Tonight, he promised Bingzi Wang Dahai and the others that he would treat them to a meal.
Jiang Yao cannot save this money.
If they hadn't been there last night, it would have been difficult for him to catch all the two fish.
Next, if they really follow him fishing every day, then Jiang Yao will have a lot of use for them!
In addition, after he became a little richer, he was also going to spend some money to buy some good gifts and go to Carpenter Xu's place.
Now that he knows that Carpenter Xu is really capable and an expert, Jiang Yao naturally hopes to have a good relationship with him.
With him as a trump card, Jiang Yao felt more at ease when he wanted to cause trouble and provoke something.
After all, the golden finger he obtained was only after he had survived the disaster before he could receive the reward.
What kind of disaster will be displayed on the light curtain panel?
Jiang Yao is not sure yet. Based on his last experience, he only knows that provoking those things may cause him to encounter disaster again.
It's just a secret technique that has tricked him. He has only developed this little function, and it has already benefited him a lot.
Jiang Yao is really looking forward to other rewards that he may receive after surviving the disaster.
Since he has such a plan, Carpenter Xu must be the key.
He didn’t want to cause a disaster that he would not be able to solve in the end, causing him to die unexpectedly.
If you think about it this way, it seems that Jiang Yao really has a lot of money to spend.
The few sets of simple fishing tackle he made can be used for makeshift use, so let’s make do with them for now.
Anyway, as long as he can catch fish every day, even if the price of the fish is slightly cheaper, he will be able to trade his shotgun for a cannon in just a few days.
"Uncle Yao..."
Jiang Yao had just returned to his home and had been sitting there for less than half an hour when the soldiers had already come to the door. That guy had known for a long time that Jiang Yao was selling fish. It was estimated that he had been paying attention to when Jiang Yao would come back.
"Sit down and come to me to get fishing gear? Don't worry, come on, let's smoke a cigarette first!"
Smiling and asking the soldiers to sit down, Jiang Yao took out a handful of soft white sand that he had just bought on the way back, pulled out a stick, and handed it over.
"Yeah!" Bingzai nodded: "I went to the street in the morning and bought all the fishing lines and hooks. It's just that the little bell is hard to buy."
"There are no fishing gear shops at all. I found a jewelry store and bought a few."
Taking the cigarettes handed over by Jiang Yao, he took out a lighter and lit it, and took a nice puff: "This white sand cigarette is different. The big red flower is much better to smoke."
"You must have sold the two fishes yesterday for a lot of money, right?"
While talking. , Bingzai opened the plastic bag he was carrying and took out the fishing gear he had prepared one by one.
"It's not easy to sell the fish if it's dead and stale. It weighed about twenty kilograms and sold for less than sixty."
A little dissatisfied, Jiang Yao complained while looking at Bing Zai. Those things that were taken out.
No. 5 nylon thread, No. 9 fishhook, and a few small bells...
“It can sell for almost 60 yuan, which is already very good!”
"A buddy of mine is a mason. He works as a small laborer at the construction site. He is exhausted at the end of the day and the wages are only eight yuan."
"If you are as lucky as Uncle Yao every day, you won't be able to earn more than one or two thousand a month. That will be much better than any other job."
The tone was obviously a bit envious, and Bingzai immediately said Take the conversation.
Seeing Jiang Yao picking up the fishing gear he had prepared and looking through it, his eyes also started to become a little fiery.
After all, in his opinion, these fishing gears are his hope of getting rich.
“Plastic bottles are easy to pick up, and I also have plenty of tire wire for tying hooks.”
“However, your No. 5 line seems to be a little thinner.”
“After all, our fishing method is not very easy to move the fish. If the line is not strong, the fish will not be able to catch it if it exerts force. It just broke!"
Frowning slightly, Jiang Yao put down the fishing line in his hand and told the soldier.
"Ah...5th wire is still thin? What size did Uncle Yao use?"
"To buy these things, I stole the coins my mother saved. This wire If it doesn’t work, don’t I have to buy it again?”
With a grimace on his face and a gloomy look on his face, Bingzai quickly asked.
"The No. 10 thread I used, if the thread hadn't been strong enough, my big grass carp might have just pulled the thread and ran away last night!"
Smiling, Jiang Yao spoke again and said: "Although your line is a little thinner, you can still use it without changing it. It can be used if you make do."
"At least, for a fish weighing several kilograms, your line is No problem, it’s just that it’s not easy to get the big one weighing ten pounds.”
Hearing what Jiang Yao said, Bingzai was obviously relieved: “That’s good, that’s it. Well, I will be satisfied if I can catch a big fish weighing several kilograms.”
"If I really encounter something big like that and my fishing line is broken, I will admit it and replace it with a thicker fishing line when the time comes."
He said so, Jiang Yao He didn't say anything more.
After all, he was able to catch big fish only because of cheating. Bingzi ran into the river, not to mention the big fish weighing more than ten kilograms. Even if he wanted to catch a fish weighing several kilograms, he would have to spend all his money. By luck.
To put it this way, the No. 5 fishing line he used seems to be enough.
