The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

The next day, Qi Feifei went to the river to fill the fish basket.

When the first fish basket was lifted up, there was a black mass inside. She was so scared that she instinctively dropped it on the grass and stepped back.

He patted his chest to calm down.

All I pulled up were fish. I was careless and didn't expect there were actually mud balls inside.

This is a poisonous snake. It probably came in to eat the fish and couldn't get out.

How to do?

You can't just let it out and fight it, nor can you boil it with the fish basket, as such a large fish basket can't fit in the pot. You can't put it on fire, as the fish basket will be destroyed. You can't just chop it with a knife, but you won't be able to cut it.

Qi Feifei was thinking of various ways to kill it.

You can knock the snake unconscious by holding its tail, or how about trying shaking the whole fish basket?

Qi Feifei used a sickle to hook the fish basket upright, with the tail end facing downwards.

The snake was controlled to the bottom of the fish basket.

Grab the edge of the fish basket and swing it hard and quickly.

I have been practicing martial arts recently and my strength has increased a lot. I swung my arms for a long time until I couldn't swing them anymore, then I stopped.

In order to prevent it from getting dizzy and suddenly getting angry, take a bite.

Qi Feifei carried the fish basket to the dirt road, holding a stick in one hand and a sickle in the other.

Cut the rope tied to the mouth of the fish basket, use a stick to pull the mouth of the fish basket downwards, and then pull the fish basket open. The soil ball fell on the dirt road, curled up into a ball, motionless.

Qi Feifei held down the snake's head with a stick and chopped off the head with a hatchet.

Only then did I feel relieved.

The snake was thrown into the cold spring outside the courtyard to be washed clean, and then it was put into a waist basket with leaves and grass as the pad.

The other fish basket was normal. I got several kilograms of fish and shrimp.

For fear of being late, I went directly to the machinery factory without cutting vegetables for the pigs.

When we got to the edge of the woods, we could see Huo Sheng standing in the shade of the trees from afar. He was wearing a white vest, army green pants, and his posture was straight.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw it was Qi Feifei, and strode towards him.

Qi Feifei carried a basket of hazel mushrooms for him, but Huo Sheng's basket couldn't hold them all.

Qi Feifei asked him tentatively: "Do you want a snake?"

Huo Sheng was stunned for a moment, "You have a snake?"

Qi Feifei gently pushed aside the leaves in the basket around her waist, revealing the snake's body.

Huo Sheng showed a surprised look, but thinking back, it was not surprising. People who hike in the mountains every day should encounter snakes frequently. If they were afraid of snakes, they would not go straight through the mountains to the machinery factory again and again.

"What do you want to change?"

Qi Feifei: "Soybean oil or soybean oil coupons are fine."

Huo Sheng looked at her pale and thin face.

"Okay, I only have two ounces of oil this month, I'll give it all to you."

Qi Feifei: "Then I'll lend you my waist basket and backpack. I'll wait for you here, and you can bring the oil by the way."

Huo Sheng: "Next time you pick mushrooms, you can give them to me. Is there anything else you want to exchange?"

Qi Feifei raised an eyebrow: "You are alone? You want more?"

Huo Sheng: "I still have friends."

Qi Feifei: "Okay, next time I have food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, industrial coupons are all fine."

Huo Sheng: "Okay."

Huo Sheng carried the backpack and two waist baskets on his back and walked away.

Qi Feifei inspected the courtyard.

As soon as she entered, Doubao and Xiaolu followed her closely.

She looked at the fish and shrimp in the stream, and went to the foot of the mountain to check on the chicks. They all seemed to be living a comfortable life. The big pheasant had run into the mountain and no one knew where it was.

The snake skin and gallbladder are half dried.

She came out of the courtyard, but Huo Sheng had not returned yet.

After waiting for a while, I saw Huo Sheng's upright figure walking towards me from a distance.

The more Qi Feifei looked at him, the more familiar he felt. Isn't this the "PLA uncle" that he often saw on TV in his previous life?

Retired?

He suppressed his doubts and took the backpack, waist basket and half a bottle of soybean oil handed to him by Huo Sheng. He turned around without hesitation.

Huo Sheng: This is too straightforward!

"There is a piece of tofu in the basket. I will exchange it with the soybean oil for the snake."

Qi Feifei turned around and asked with a questioning look on his face: "Didn't we agree to exchange it for soybean oil?"

Huo Sheng: "Your snake is quite thick, and I got a bargain for only two ounces of soybean oil. We'll have snake meat stewed with mushrooms for lunch today, so I won't need the tofu. I'll give it to you, so I can feel more at ease, and it won't be a waste."

Qi Feifei: "Okay then, thank you."

Turned and went into the mountain.

After Qi Feifei walked into the mountains, he hurried into the courtyard, put the oil and tofu in place, loaded a basket of mushrooms, and put all the crucian carps in the basket, which was not full yet, so he put some willow root fish in and quietly left the woods.

I observed carefully along the way, fearing that Huo Sheng had not gone far.

I didn't feel relieved until I saw Huo Sheng turning around the intersection of the purchasing station in the distance.

Go straight to the back door of Victory Hotel.

Sister Wang was sitting in the backyard picking beans. When she saw Qi Feifei, she stood up and took the basket from her hand.

I almost dropped it when I picked it up.

Sister Wang: "What is this? Why is it so heavy?"

Qi Feifei: "Sister Wang, did you eat the fish yesterday? How was it?"

Sister Wang opened her eyes wide: "Is this a basket of fish?"

As he said this, he quickly put down the basket and pushed aside the grass and leaves on it.

Sister Wang: "Oh my God! How did you catch so many fish? They are all alive."

He ran into the kitchen and said, "Lao Yang, Lao Yang, come out first, don't cook yet. No, bring a big pot."

Lao Yang: "Xiao Wang, what's going on?"

Sister Wang: "Hey, the little girl got a basket of fish today, and it's still alive, come out quickly."

Lao Yang left the wok to his apprentice and came out carrying a large iron basin.

Sister Wang quickly weighed it with a scale and said, "It's still alive. Quickly give it some water."

Lao Yang was also very happy. There were many streams and rivers in the mountains, but not many people could catch fish.

The tools used for fishing are mostly casting nets and hooks. Those who can afford these are all relatively wealthy families. In those days, supplies were scarce, and the fish caught were eaten by themselves or their relatives and friends.

I can’t bear to eat it, so the amount I can sell is very small.

Even fewer can be sold to restaurants.

Sister Wang: "The crucian carp is 21.6 jin, and the mullet is 9.3 jin. Regardless of size, the crucian carp is 45 cents per jin, and the mullet is 80 cents per jin, a total of 17.16 yuan."

Sister Wang looked at the basket again. It was filled with mushrooms, weighing thirty-two kilograms.

"The price of mushrooms is 8.5 cents per pound, so 32 pounds is 2.72 yuan, plus the fish price, it's 19.88 yuan. Girl, you've become a regular employee this month."

Qi Feifei: "It's just these few days. After the autumn harvest, there will be nothing to do. After the autumn harvest, we will hibernate."

Sister Wang: "That's right, you're not bad. I like girls like you. Come over and play when you have nothing to do."

Qi Feifei: "Thank you, Sister Wang. I will definitely come."

Qi Feifei said goodbye to Sister Wang and Lao Yang and went to the department store. Now he had thirty-two yuan and fifty-four cents in his pocket, so he went to see if there was anything suitable for him to buy.

As a result, no one wanted to refuse the ticket, so they could only come out dejected!

Huo Sheng saw the little girl from a distance. She looked sad and pursed her lips, as if she was holding her breath. She walked back, looking back every few steps.
