My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 319 Our old Chen also has a day when a hero saves beauty

   This flower, bird, insect and fish market covers a fairly large area.

  After turning around the area for ornamental fish, Chen Ling found a place to put the sturgeon in the cave again and went to other areas.

  Unfortunately, there are very few sea fish here, almost none.

   Even if there are, they are not alive, they are all New Year's goods, such as frozen shrimp and frozen fish.

  Otherwise, you can buy some sea fish to keep them in the cave, and try to see if the fish can survive in the cave, and if they survive, what will happen.

  Wandering around, along the way, all kinds of flowers, potted plants, singing insects, snakes, rodents, small lizards, birds, falcons, exquisite bird cages, all kinds of dazzling.

   At the juncture of Little Tail during the National Day holiday, there are many men, women and children in the market, walking back and forth bustlingly.

   But most of the people gathered in the flower area.

   After walking around, Chen Ling found out that the flower area was the most popular.

  Old people like to grow flowers, women and little girls also like to grow flowers, and even many men like to play with all kinds of potted plants and flowers.

   Compared with the flower area, other areas seem very deserted.

   "Huh? So, in addition to raising fish, it seems that you can raise flowers as well."

  Chen Ling thought to himself, but he didn't buy potted flowers, most of them can be cultivated by himself. I just picked out a few pots of different types of cacti, and left them in the cave.

   Xin said that when it was all right, she brought Wang Susu and her son over to set up a stall and sell flowers, she must be very willing.

   "It's just too far, how about I buy another yard in the city and plant flowers and plants?"

   "It's not impossible to buy another yard. In the next 30 years, the house price will not fall, so it's not a loss to buy it. Besides, in the future, the children do not want to stay in the countryside, which is also a choice for the children."

   "Let's go check the price in the afternoon."

   After thinking about it, Chen Ling made up his mind and was going to buy a property in the city.

   It's just that he was thinking about things, but he didn't notice that he was being targeted.

   It was not someone else who was staring at him, but a thief and a pickpocket.

  To be honest, thieves and thieves are really proliferating in this era.

  Especially in crowded places such as major markets, it is also a place frequented by thieves.

   In this era, there are no cameras. If you steal it, you will run away, and there is nowhere to find it.

  Chen Ling was alone again, dangling around in the market, and a few pickpockets guarding the flowers soon stared at him.

   One of the young guys, eighteen or nineteen years old, with a flat moustache, pretended to approach him unintentionally.

"Um?"

   When someone approached, Chen Ling's perception was still very keen, and he immediately noticed something strange in his trouser pocket, and immediately knew what happened.

   In an instant, he swapped the loose change in his trouser pocket with the scorpions stocked in the cave.

   The young man's **** just reached into Chen Ling's trousers pocket...

   I saw him with his hands behind his back, walking side by side with Chen Ling, his body close to Chen Ling, very skillful and confusing, and those who didn't know thought he and Chen Ling were companions.

  Actually, **** had slipped into Chen Ling's trouser pockets quietly. After feeling something, he quickly squeezed them out with two fingers, then shrank his fingers, and clenched his hands like this.

   The whole process was very quick.

   But the next moment, I saw the young man shaking and screaming. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he frantically threw his hands and ran away.

   Actually, he might be fine if he grabbed it with his hands, but if he grabbed it like this, the scorpion must have stung him without any discussion.

   "Huh? This is a scorpion. Which stall sells it? This young man must have bought a scorpion and was stung by a scorpion."

   "I don't know, now this young man always likes to do something weird, and we don't understand it either."

  “…”

  Some people saw the two scorpions thrown to the ground by the young man, and they talked about it, and kicked the scorpions aside by the way.

  Chen Ling paid no attention to anyone, and continued to walk out slowly like no one else.

   thought: "Dare to steal me, this time it's a scorpion, next time it's a wild bee and a poisonous snake, come here if you're not afraid."

   At noon, I ate beef again, and this time I drank a little wine.

   Beef offal, beef tendon, sliced ​​beef, served with small wine, very beautiful.

   After dinner, he had nothing to do right now, so he went around looking at the house and the yard.

  The house is mainly close to the school.

  The yard is mainly to find a bigger one, not too far from the city center, not too far away, inconvenient.

   I took a look around in the afternoon. At this time, the house was not expensive. A 180-square-meter downtown building could be won for 50,000 yuan.

   Although the decoration is not good, it is not expensive now.

  The materials are cheap, and the wages of the workers are not much. There is almost no difference between 1996 and 1995. The decoration workers in the city are only 20 to 30 yuan a day.

   and Wang Lixian are not much better.

Chen Ling remembered that in about 2005, an old classmate built a house in his hometown in the countryside. At that time, the wages of small workers had not risen yet, and it was only about fifteen yuan a day, even twenty yuan. not reach.

   "Cheap is cheap, but I don't have enough money."

  Chen Ling thought about it, scratched his head a little, and decided to sell some special products of Dongtian.

   So I went to Chinese herbal medicine stores for the next two days and asked about the prices of ginseng, dendrobium and other herbs.

   Unsurprisingly, the price was too low for Chen Ling to accept.

  Especially the price of ginseng, it is better to sell a few ornamental fish for more money.

   As for the ginseng, it is better to take it back and make wine.

  Chen Ling also knows that if his ginseng gets the capital, gets the Pearl, or gets the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it will definitely be more than this price.

   But he didn't bother to run that far.

   I don’t want to engage in ginseng anymore.

  Selling fish is done.

   took two red eels and went to several nearby cities to ask about the price.

   In the end, I found that the bids in several cities on the south bank of the Yangtze River were higher. For a pair of red eels, the highest price was 8,000 yuan.

   At least 2,000 yuan.

   Of course, things didn’t go smoothly all the way.

   There are also people who think he is a liar, and he became like this after feeding the fish.

  Otherwise, eels don't have whiskers, and they turn red all over, which is too unbelievable.

   Some people don’t believe it, and some people believe it.

   There are twists and turns, and there are gains.

   But in the end, he didn't run this big circle back and forth in vain.

  Red eel is still too rare, and it is this kind of long beard. There is definitely no shortage of rare things.

   So in the past few days, Chen Ling sold big fish and small fish, selling those with high prices and those with low prices.

   Anyway, the lowest price for a pair of fish cannot be less than 2,000 yuan.

  Because it’s not worth much if there are too many, so he doesn’t mind if it’s cheaper.

   After turning around like this, I returned to Tiannan City and sold it for 4,000 yuan on the Duguang River.

   Successfully saved enough money to buy a house.

   "It seems that I still need to save more money on weekdays, otherwise I want to buy a car, I want to buy a house, I have to sell something to raise money."

For more than two days, Chen Ling went back and forth on both sides of the Yangtze River. Although he ate a lot of delicious food, watched a lot of good scenery, and harvested a lot of good little things in the cave, it was still a bit troublesome to go back and forth. of.

   Carrying some simple food, Chen Ling walked into an old-fashioned unit building.

   Compared with those in first-tier big cities, this building must have a big gap, and there is no modern atmosphere.

   but beautiful.

  The walls of the courtyard are covered with creepers.

  In the yard, there are sycamore trees with lush foliage.

  There are still birds on the tree, busy shuttling among the branches and leaves.

  The rich life atmosphere makes Chen Ling like it very much.

   It is relatively close to the campus of a university, but the full price is not expensive.

   "Let's do this first, next time you come over, and build a small yard nearby where you can grow flowers and plants, then you'll be complete."

   thought to himself, went upstairs to a room on the third floor, took out the key and opened the door.

   The incense of ink came blowing.

   The previous owner was a retired teacher from the university. He practiced calligraphy in his spare time. When he handed over the house to Chen Ling, he also gave him two calligraphy paintings, which was also very thoughtful.

  Although this house is the same as the small courtyard in the county town, he will not live in it much in the future, but this kind of scholarly family is more at ease.

  …

   "Hey, Brother Hai, are you at home or outside? At home, I'm in the city, and I'm just talking to find you to play."

  It is convenient here. After dinner, you can go downstairs and walk around to see the public phone. Today, Chen Ling is not in a hurry to do other things. He is going to buy some gifts to visit a few friends in the city.

   "It's okay, don't worry, I know the way, so you don't need to pick me up. Okay, then I'll go."

  Chen Ling hung up the phone, went out to buy some gifts, and hopped on the bus and headed to Zhao Hai's house.

   Zhao Hai's house is not too far from the house he bought, and it will be there soon.

   Get off at the bus stop.

   Nearby is the back door of a college, surrounded by various restaurants and rice wine shops.

   It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the students who didn't go home during the National Day holiday walked out of the school gate in twos and threes to hang out.

   In this quiet and peaceful afternoon in the golden autumn and September, suddenly there were exclamations and screams on the street.

   "Help, robbery."

  Chen Ling was carrying two big bags. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around to look.

  I saw a thin man with a dazzling knife running wildly on the sidewalk.

   Behind him, a woman shouted in a shrill voice with disheveled hair. She didn't know what was being robbed. She ran and screamed and fell two somersaults.

   The passers-by next to him and the shop owner hurried out to help when they saw this. In a hurry, everyone greeted the robber with all kinds of things.

   Although the robber was a thin man, he didn't look very old and had little strength, but he ran so fast that passersby couldn't even hit him.

   Seeing that he was about to run away, Chen Ling threw the thing he was carrying, opened his arms, like an eagle catching a chicken, stopped him a few times from left and right, and then stepped forward with a kick, tripping a dog and eating **** for him.

   This kid doesn't know if he has rich experience in robbery or is very good at escaping. When he fell, he rolled on the spot, got up again and continued to escape.

   stopped him, how could he really run away, Chen Ling chased after him, and many passers-by next to him also joined in chasing forward.

Seeing a lot of people, this kid jumped off the wall in a hurry, waving the knife in his hand, with a ruthless expression on his face, and waving at the crowd in front of him, "Fuck your grandma, keep busy and hack you idiots to death. "

However, just after he finished his harsh words, he scared a group of people back, and was about to run, when Chen Ling kicked him to the ground from behind, and sat on top of him, holding his arm, and by the way He also took the knife.

   When Chen Ling pressed the boy to the ground, there were still people rushing here with sticks and bamboo poles.

   "This guy has subdued him, go and call the police."

   said that the old and the young came forward to help, and quickly tied the robber with five flowers.

   When the woman who was robbed came over to thank everyone for their enthusiastic help.

   Only then did everyone find out: This is actually a foreign girl.
