Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

The two men selected an area and took out the prepared bait, which was fresh corn kernels;

Corn kernels are the best bait for fishing when the autumn harvest is just over and the corn is not yet dry.
Of course, He Yuzhu added distiller's grains, which he got from Xu Huizhen of Zhengyangmen as a free gift;

"Zhu Zi, this is a good thing. Where did you get it? Crucian carp, grass carp, and carp won't be able to resist this, right?"

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu's bait with envy, then looked at other people's, and then looked at his own sweet potato bait. There was really no comparison. Was this the gap between the two families?
"Okay, Uncle, don't look at it anymore. Just use it as you like. Don't be polite!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "I have plenty of this stuff. I'm counting on it to serve as a witness. It's just a small thing, it won't be a problem!"

"That's a good feeling, I won't be polite!"

Yan Bugui grabbed some without hesitation, so that he could save some;
I won’t have to go fishing specially next time. Life is hard these days, so save as much as you can!

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, and after a while, the old guy was left with envy!

The fishing rod was thrown and landed accurately in the fish pond in the space. He Yuzhu was the king in the space.

The way to open it is also very simple. It looks like the fishing rod has entered the river, but in fact the fish hook is in space!
"Zhu Zi, I'm not bragging to you, my fishing skills are among the best in the entire Nanluoguxiang.
If you don’t understand something, just ask. For the sake of the bait, I will tell you everything I know. Once you learn it, you can go fishing in the future... "

Yan Bugui was about to say that if he had any success in fishing, he would just express his appreciation. But before he could finish his words, a two-jin fish came out of the river. How long had it been? This was too much, wasn't it?
"Uncle, what's wrong with fishing? I was just busy fishing and didn't hear you clearly!"

He Yuzhu calmly put the fish into the small wooden barrel, cast out the fishing rod, and looked at Yan Bugui. This was a perfect rhythm for chatting and fishing at the same time!

"No, it's nothing!"

Yan Bugui murmured to himself, fortunately he didn't say it out loud, otherwise, it would be so embarrassing. Where did this kid learn fishing skills?
"Zhu Zi, your fishing skills are pretty good. Where did you learn it from? Please give me some pointers!"

Yan Bugui endured for a long time and finally asked. They were using the same bait and the fish were not too far apart, but he hadn't caught anything yet while He Yuzhu could already finish his work. Was this the difference?

Two kilograms of grass carp is enough for the He family to have a meal. But comparing yourself with others will make you feel miserable. Could it be that the fish was bitten by the He family’s hook?
"Uncle, I was just thinking about it. I put the bait on the hook and threw it into the river. I just had to wait. Isn't that all you need to do is use your hands?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui in confusion, as if to say, it's just fishing, how can it be so complicated?
This made Yan Bu feel so proud. It turned out that the handwritten copies of "Dream Pool Essays" at home were all nonsense, right?
"Zhu Zi, fishing is not that simple. Mengxi Bi Tan records the natural knowledge and time experience of fishing in detail.

This book provides detailed introductions to the living habits of fish and their relationship with the environment. It is a science, not just about having hands!"

Yan Bugui was very dissatisfied with He Yuzhu's way of making fishing sound so easy, and couldn't help but brag that all his knowledge of fishing was learned from Mengxi Bitan.

The most important thing is that he has already practiced it. If it weren’t for his bad luck, he would definitely let He Yuzhu see it for himself!
"Second uncle, please stop showing off. That thing is hard to find. Just do as you say. I've taken the bait!"

He Yuzhu thought, this old guy wouldn’t have anything like this, right?
The Yan family was a small business owner, and their ancestors had scholars. They could not imagine owning an authentic copy, but it was possible that they owned a printed copy.
Yan Bugui was about to retort when another crucian carp weighing more than a pound came out of the water. Did you catch something while you were talking? "Humph, why would I lie to you? Your uncle has a Yuan manuscript in his hand!"

Yan Bugui's eyes were rolling around, staring at the fish struggling in the small wooden barrel. He wished he had caught the fish himself. Alas, comparing himself with others makes one angry!
"If it's true, I'm willing to exchange these two fish for your manuscript. It's good to study it when I have nothing to do!"

He Yuzhu looked like he didn't believe you, but what he said was not so harmonious. He was targeting the manuscript.

"Zhu Zi, do you think I'm a fool?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes in annoyance and regretted secretly, why did he say that?

Although I wrote down the relevant probabilities of fishing, that thing is an old item. Who knows if it will be valuable in the future?

What if it can be worth a fortune in the future? Hold on, you must hold on, don't let this kid take advantage of you;

Another voice was looking forward to an offer. Someone had seen this manuscript 49 years ago and offered , which is only five yuan in total. If Sha Zhu offered a high price, he would make a profit!
"Uncle, these two fish and five pounds of meat tickets are actually just for fishing. Otherwise, who would be willing to exchange so many things for a dead thing?"

It's no wonder. Life is getting harder and harder. Who would collect these things? Aren't we all working hard for a bite to eat?
"Two fish, five catties of meat tickets, and twenty catties of flour!"

Yan Bugui knew that it is only possible to catch a thief for a thousand days, but it is impossible to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Now that He Yuzhu has set his sights on it, this kid will definitely do everything he can to get it;

Rather than being calculated and having to take it out, it is better to maximize the benefits, ask for a high price, and pay it back at a low price. It is always more than five dollars, right?

"Deal, haha, uncle, this fish is yours!"

He Yuzhu laughed loudly. How could this little thing not be as valuable as the manuscript of Mengxi Bitan? This was the thing he had the most!

Yan Bugui wanted to slap himself. It had to be less. It must be less. Otherwise, Sha Zhu wouldn't be so happy!

What he didn't know was that He Yuzhu's things were not easy to get. The final thing was not Yuan's, and he would definitely get double the money back!

Yan Bugui spent most of the day in regret. Although He Yuzhu generously gave him two corn cakes, he still felt that he had lost a lot.
Finally, there were five fish in He Yuzhu's bucket, and most of them weighed about one and a half kilograms.

There were only three fish in Yan Bugui's bucket, and he only caught one in a day. He thought it was a huge loss!
Yan Bugui and his companions brought back fish, which immediately caused a sensation in the courtyard.
At this time, three fishes can be eaten by some families for more than a month; the leftovers can be made into salted fish and eaten whenever they want, it is so generous;
What they didn't know was that He Yuzhu caught five, and when he came back, he took a detour and gave two crucian carps to Uncle Li's family, and also gave them some milk powder coupons;

Yan Bugui saw this scene clearly. Could it be that Sha Zhu was so generous?

However, when the person who opened the door was the former director of the subdistrict office and now the deputy district chief, he decisively shut up. Sha Zhu's generosity also depends on the person! (End of this chapter)
