Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95
Chapter 20 Old Yan's Envy
"How come I haven't seen it? When the country was just liberated, there was no autumn fishing season yet. Every year, there would be a few big fish in Shichahai. You know nothing."
"It was just after liberation? You were still in the Northeast at that time, right? Did you dream of big fish in Shichahai?"
Seeing that two old men, whose combined ages were over a hundred years old, were about to quarrel over a trivial matter, Zhao Shanhe hurriedly stopped them.
"My two lords, it's not that serious, it's not that serious. This is my first time fishing here, and I didn't expect there would be such a big catch in Shichahai. Fortunately, I met you two. Otherwise, why don't we share this fish among the three of us? I can't let you work in vain, right?"
Zhao Shanhe was not joking when he said this. At this moment, he could only think in his heart that it is better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. If he had known that big fish would be so difficult to catch, he would have put a 3-jin fish on the hook. In order to help him, the two old men left their fishing rods and threw their hats on the ground. He could not just say nothing.
But what he didn't expect was that not everyone was like Zhao Desheng and Yan Bugui.
"What do you want to share? You caught this fish, so it's yours. I'm just helping you hold the fishing rod and opening my eyes, but I'm not here to share your fish."
"Okay, young man, you keep fishing. Lao Liang, let's go back and continue fishing. The fish situation looks good today. Let's see who catches more."
It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned dividing the fish, but as soon as they mentioned dividing the fish, the two old men turned around and left, which made Zhao Shanhe sigh deeply. The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs. Did he meet a good person? Or were the people he met before the best in the city?
Of course, it is also possible that the two old men really don’t need this little thing, because each of them is wearing a brand new military coat.
Only when the crowd saw the two old men leave did some of them come forward to inquire about what was going on.
"Young man, do you want to sell this fish?"
In the area of Sijiu City, if you use money to trade other things, you may be accused of speculation. The only fish you catch yourself does not count, so some people wait here, buy some at a low price and then sell them in the pigeon market. Even if you don’t make too much, you can still earn enough for food.
"I'm sorry, comrade. I'm a buyer for the Third Steel Rolling Mill. I have to take this fish back to exchange for the quota. I really can't sell it. I'm sorry."
When they heard that he was a purchasing agent, the people who wanted to buy fish stopped talking and could only sigh inwardly why they did not have Zhao Shanhe's luck to catch big fish.
Zhao Shanhe sat on the stool for more than ten minutes before he felt his strength recover a little. His body was still too weak. He had to exercise when he had time. Looking at the grass carp again, it had already been frozen hard and turned into a deadly weapon. This is the good thing about winter: there are natural refrigerators everywhere.
He stretched his arms, put the bait back on the hook, and lowered the rod again. After two or three minutes, he felt that it was about time to pretend, so he found a fish weighing about 3 kilograms in the small world and put it on the rod.
He thought that this would not attract attention, but he still underestimated the power of the masses. The grass carp weighing more than 3 jin made a splash in the water. The experienced anglers knew the approximate size of the fish by the splash. They looked at Zhao Shanhe and thought they could pull it up, so they did not come to help. However, many people had never caught such a big fish, so they ran over to watch the fun.
With the experience from last time, Zhao Shanhe only took a few minutes to pull up the fish this time. When everyone saw that it was several times smaller than the previous one, they just said something like "You are so lucky" and "You are a fishing expert" and left. Only Yan Bugui stayed.
After Zhao Shanhe unhooked the fish and put it in the bucket, the stingy old man asked.
"Shanhe, I didn't expect you to be so talented. Do you have any tricks? If you have any, teach your uncle. We are from the same courtyard, so you can't keep it to yourself."
At this time he didn't mention the 10 yuan, which showed how thick-skinned the old man was. As soon as Zhao Shanhe saw Lao Kou staying, he guessed what he was going to do. When the other party asked, he replied with the prepared answer.
"Uncle, this is my first time fishing. Even the pulling rod was taught by those two uncles just now. How could they know the tricks? Maybe it's because I'm a novice and God has blessed me."
Yan Bugui stared at Zhao Shanhe for a long time but couldn't see anything. He thought to himself, could it be that the novice fell in love with fish? Then should I go back and call Jie Cheng and the others over? What if they can also catch fish like Zhao Shanhe?
But when I thought about how it would take an hour to go back and forth, I was too lazy to go back in the cold winter. I might as well keep fishing first. What if this guy just made it up?
Time passed quickly and it was noon. Old Yan only caught two crucian carps, which together weighed only three taels. Zhao Shanhe, who was only a dozen meters away from him, caught fish left and right, all weighing three or four jin. There were grass carps, carps, and even a black carp weighing more than four jin. I really don't understand why there are such fish in Shichahai?
Yan Bugui's heart was bleeding when he saw this scene. He wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he too lazy to call Yan Jiecheng over? Otherwise, would his fish bucket be full long ago?
Zhao Shanhe felt that it was enough and no more racks would fit, so he packed up and left, saying hello to Yan Bugui before leaving.
"Uncle, I'm going to the factory first. See you later."
Before Zhao Shanhe rode out 30 meters, several people crowded at his original fishing spot. This was also the habit of fishermen. They assumed that places where fish were frequently caught were good feng shui spots. Yan Bugui was a step slower and felt that he had missed a hundred million again. He was the closest to that spot...
Zhao Shanhe was riding a bicycle with a rack full of fish tied to it. He was the most attractive guy on the road. I just couldn't tell if he was looking at the fish or the people. I guess he was looking at the fish? Otherwise, why were so many gay men looking at him?
He rode all the way to the factory, and the security officer on duty saw the fish he brought back and said to Menzi. ?
"Xiao Zhao, did you go to dismantle the Dragon King's palace today? How did you bring back so many fish?"
Zhao Shanhe knew very well that there was no harm in having a good relationship with this group of people, because they were not under the management of the steel rolling mill. In the past, he had no excuse to establish a good relationship with them, but today, this opportunity had come.
He untied the black fish weighing more than 4 kilograms and handed it over.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I caught all these fish myself. You can use this black fish to make fish soup. It's really hard for you to work in the cafeteria even though there's no food in this cold weather."
There is a stove in the security guardhouse, and occasionally the staff on duty will make some noodles or something to eat. When the word "fish soup" comes out, they all feel that the secretion in their mouths has obviously accelerated. ?
"Thank you so much, Xiao Zhao. If you need help from us in the future, just tell us and we will definitely get it done for you."
No one can resist the temptation of meat. Fish is also meat. In this age when everything is in short supply, drinking a bowl of fish soup is a wonderful thing that these on-duty personnel cannot even dream of.
"I'm going to hand in the mission. See you later, brothers."
People with sweet words are welcome everywhere. Otherwise, why is there the saying that a kind word can warm you through the winter? Zhao Shanhe said goodbye to the security department and went directly to the procurement department.
