Xue Ming took the train for two days and one night and finally arrived in the provincial capital. When he visited Niu Baolin's house, he found that the door was closed and there was no response when he knocked on the door.

Niu Baolin originally promised to go to the pastoral area to get at least ten lambs, but until now there has been no news.

"This old boy is really unreliable." Xue Ming entered the Niu Family Courtyard from a God's perspective and decided to stay here for the night.

I cycled to a department store to buy a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, a pack of masks, and two period caps.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, I put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask and went into the space to catch fish. I was immediately frightened and confused as soon as I entered the space.

Countless big fish kept jumping out of the water and falling into the pond like dumplings. Two golden eagles were hovering over the pond, not knowing which one to catch.

"Damn it, the fish fell into the trap." Xue Ming immediately caught the four largest carp, put them into the bucket, and hurried to the courtyard of the firecracker factory on his bicycle.

When there is insufficient oxygen in the water, fish will jump out of the water to breathe oxygen. This is what farmers are most afraid of: fish falling into pits, which will lead to mass deaths of fish.

I just caught a dozen fish and threw them into the pond. I didn't expect them to reproduce so quickly in the spiritual spring water, let alone that they would become a disaster.

"If you plant flowers intentionally, they won't bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. That's your fault, uncle." Xue Ming pedaled the bicycle very fast, and it only took ten minutes to reach the destination.

Bang bang bang on the door, "Is anyone home? Is anyone home?"

Soon the wooden door opened, and an old lady was so frightened when she saw Xue Ming's appearance that she quickly closed the door, "What do you do?"

"Don't get me wrong, old man, I have something for swimming in the water." Xue Ming said as he took off his sunglasses, covering them so tightly that he looked like an enemy agent.

There were many footsteps in the yard, and a man's voice asked tentatively, "What do you have?"

"My surname is Li." Xue Ming could only say this. Whether the business can be successful depends on the courage of the family.

Speculation is to severely crack down on sellers, and the penalties for buyers are quite light. In general, illegally purchased goods are confiscated and criticized and educated.

Three minutes later, the wooden door opened a crack, and a young man hid behind the crack to look at Xue Ming. His eyes quickly fell on the bucket.

Xue Ming opened the lid of the bucket to reveal four live carps, each weighing about four pounds. The young man immediately opened half of the door.

"Zhang Li, is there a visitor at your house?" The eldest sister of the neighbor across the door stood at the door to chat with her, staring at the bucket.

"Sister Ma, the toilet in my house is broken. This is the toilet repairman." Luo Changli generously invited Xue Ming into his home.

Xue Mingxin said that you are the master who repairs the toilet, and your whole family is the master who repairs the toilet.

"What a coincidence, my toilet also has a hole in it." Sister Ma said in a loud voice, "Master, I came home after my busy work and wanted to take a look at my toilet."

"Sister, please wait a moment." Xue Ming decided to find an opportunity to press the old woman's head into her toilet.

The Luo family invited Xue Ming into the main room. The firecracker factory was the most profitable factory in the province, and the entire family courtyard was a two-story small foreign-style building.

Xue Ming was anxious to sell the fish and directly asked the price, "This is an authentic wild carp. A pound of wheat or 8 taels of rice can be exchanged for a pound of fish. I only want food and nothing else."

"I'll know if it's wild at a glance." The serious-faced old man rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a big fish, and looked over it.

The fish jumped alive in his hands, and Luo Changli looked a little arrogant, "Comrade, you don't know, my father raised fish for the landlord's family all his life before liberation."

The old man read the first article and then the second. After reading all four, he turned back to the kitchen and washed his hands, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xue Ming's words.

"Recently, the grain store has reduced the allocation of fine grains, and my family doesn't have much food. Let's exchange six taels of rice for a pound of fish." Luo Changli bargained.

"Comrade Liuliang, my family wants these four fishes." After washing his hands, Lao Luo walked to Xue Ming's side, "Your accent doesn't sound like someone from a provincial capital?"

"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry. Eight taels can't be less. Do you think that's okay?" Xue Ming said straightforwardly.

"Of course not. How can there be no reason not to let others bargain?" Lao Luo said with a stiff neck.

"Excuse me." Xue Ming carried the bucket and left. It was too dangerous to overturn the fish pond. If you delay for a second longer, a fish may die.

When he reached the gate, Luo Changli chased him out, pulled his sleeve and pulled him into the house, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, talk to him."

Then there was another round of bargaining. Xue Ming was so annoyed that he turned around to leave. Suddenly Lao Luo said angrily, "Go to the kitchen to get the basin."

Luo Changli's wife handed the child in her arms to her mother-in-law, walked quickly to the kitchen and came out with the washbasin.

Lao Luo took out a steel scale from the drawer and said, "I want to use my own scale. Do you have any objection, comrade?"

"Okay." Xue Ming was too lazy to care about these details and used a scale hook to penetrate the fish's mouth to weigh it. Lao Luo lay next to it and looked at the scale.

第一条鱼4斤6两,第二条鱼4斤3两,四条鱼加起来正好17斤。

Luo Changli was also an open-minded person. After all the fish were put into the basin, he went to the house to get rice. He weighed 13 kilograms and 6 taels of rice and poured it into Bu Xueming's bag.

"Little comrade, please take good care of the family's courtyard. The butcher's shop and aquatic product sales cooperative will not supply enough meat this month." After the transaction was completed, Lao Luo looked like a kind grandfather.

"Thank you, old man, for reminding me. I won't disturb you anymore." Xue Ming left Luo's house with a bucket and a bag of grain.

The eldest sister opposite opened the door and walked to Xue Ming's side, "Comrade, follow me home and take a look at the toilet."

"Hello, aunt, I'm not a toilet repairer." Xue Ming quietly took four black fish from the space and put them into the bucket.

The eldest sister said in the smallest voice, "Of course Auntie knows, I also want something that swims in the water."

Ten minutes later, Xue Ming came out of her house. Blackfish has high nutritional value, tastes smooth and refreshing, and has much fewer bones than carp. Of course, the price is more expensive than carp.

The total of four snakeheaded fish is 21 kilograms. One kilogram of fish is exchanged for one kilogram of rice. I have to say that the workers in the provincial capital are treated so well.

光明县罐头厂是光明县的龙头工厂,50斤粮票只能换30斤小麦和20斤土豆,鞭炮厂职工能用50斤粮票换50斤大米。

"One day I will arrange for my mother and sister to work in a firecracker factory." Xue Ming suddenly shuddered and thought that it would be better to arrange them to work in other factories. The firecracker factory is too dangerous.

When he entered the space to continue catching fish, he saw a fish floating on the surface of the pond. He hurriedly took it in his hand with his mind. After two seconds, he couldn't help but cursed, "The big black fish weighing five kilograms died like this. It belonged to his second uncle."

The dead fish is worthless and you can only keep it for yourself to eat, so it’s not a waste.The fish are still turning over due to lack of oxygen, and more fish will die if this continues.

Racing against time, Xue Ming quickly grabbed the five largest snakehead fish and put them into the bucket.

Leave the space and knock on the third door. Every fish sold can save a little oxygen for the fish school.
