Rebirth and daily cultivation
Chapter 721 Bargaining Expert
December 27th, New Year’s Day is approaching, but it has not yet arrived.
Xue Yuantong was carrying a fishing box with cute pets on it that he bought on Taobao. The box contained various entry-level fishing equipment, such as telescopic fishing rods, fishing lines, small buckets, cushions, etc.
Her steps were brisk and she was as excited as a bird. The cute fishing box swayed gently with her body.
"Jiang Ning, we will go to school tomorrow for evening self-study, then we will have two more days of classes on Monday and Tuesday, have a New Year's Day party on Wednesday night, and then we will have three consecutive days off!"
Jiang Ning: "But after three days of vacation, I have Saturday off and have to study in the evening."
Xue Yuantong was originally happy, but after hearing his words, he suddenly felt very painful.
In fact, Jiang Ning didn't know why she was in pain. She obviously went to and from school every day, and she was picked up and dropped off by car. When she got to school, she had a chair given by her class teacher to sit on, and she could also play with her mobile phone. It was like living a dream-like life.
Xue Yuantong held the fishing box tightly: "Only fishing can soothe my sadness now."
That's right, when she saw how good Jiang Ning was at fishing, she decided to hone her skills as she was unwilling to lag behind.
It just so happens that Boss Yang has contracted a fish pond, which is suitable for practicing.
On the way, they passed by the door of Master Bi's house. Bi Yuezheng was arguing with Aunt Zhang, Butcher Zhang's wife. Yang Fei was watching and smoking sullenly.
Bi Yue claimed that his farmhouse was doing business at night, which affected his old man's rest.
Yang Fei defended: "When I rented the house, your family didn't live here. Now I have spent so much money on decoration, and you suddenly said this."
Bi Yue: "You are not allowed to open business at night, otherwise I will report you!"
Yang Fei is helpless. Recently, he closes his shop at 8pm most of the time, and there are only occasional drinking and noisy customers. In order to avoid the noise, he specially built soundproof walls. If any customers want to eat outside, he has to sit in the bungalow a few meters away. A shed was built twenty or thirty meters away, so the noise could actually be ignored.
Bi Yue's attitude was arrogant and aggressive.
Yang Fei had no choice but to hire Aunt Zhang to help.
Butcher Zhang goes out to earn money after killing pigs every day. Aunt Zhang has nothing to do at home on weekdays, so she might as well get some reward and quarrel with her enemies.
Aunt Zhang kicked her feet on the ground and cursed at the top of her lungs: "I'll tear your mouth apart and you'll be sick for eight lifetimes!"
Xue Yuantong passed by here and took a special look.
Aunt Zhang is a master of scolding. She can even use scolding as a stage to show off her talents. Not only does she have a high voice and a quick tongue, but she also understands the rhythm. She can even add some dance moves to enhance the atmosphere and even has props.
Bi Yue couldn't stand the scolding or beating, and was so angry that he wanted to kill Aunt Zhang with his car.
…
Xue Yuantong stood aside and watched for two minutes. When the fighting subsided, she set off again.
It was now around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xue Yuantong planned to go fishing first, and then buy vegetables with Chu Chu when she came back.
Passing through the bare woods, the fish pond fell into view. Several fishermen were holding fishing rods, sitting or standing, their figures elongated by the setting sun, staring at the buoys on the water.
Parked beside the pond was a majestic-looking Mercedes-Benz G. Its wheels were stained with dirt and grass clippings. The most impressive thing was that the open trunk was filled with neatly arranged and dazzling fishing equipment. It was very professional.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged uncle with a professional fishing chair underneath him. His equipment was completely different from Xue Yuantong's.
Xue Yuantong made a strategy in advance, put down the fishing box and laid out the cushions at the so-called golden interval seven or eight meters away.
About ten meters away from the south, Lin Zida smiled and said hello.
Not only him, Zhuang Jianhui also came. He held a fishing rod in one hand and wrapped a bandage on the other. His figure showed the air of "I am going to fish for thousands of people".
When he found Jiang Ning, he also smiled and showed his friendliness.
Enter fishing time.
Jiang Ning is not fishing today and is mainly responsible for guiding Xue Yuantong.
Xue Yuantong took out the telescopic boom. It was rated as 3 meters online, but in fact it was only 2 meters, and the workmanship was very rough and very awkward. But since it only cost 9.9 yuan, he didn't pursue it.
She cleaned it up, threw it into the pond, and asked, "Is it okay, Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning: "Okay."
The rich uncle next to him squinted over and looked at the two-meter-long boom. Even though he was extremely well-educated, he couldn't help laughing.
"What kind of fish can you catch with a children's toy pole?"
Xue Yuantong has a high level of moral cultivation and curled his lips: "No, no, I'm just playing blindly!"
The rich uncle saw that the little girl was very humble and cute, so he pointed out: "You haven't fished before, and you can't even make a nest."
Xue Yuantong blamed himself without hesitation: "I even used fake bait as fishing bait."
Uncle Fu became interested and started talking: "In this fishing, nesting is still indispensable. For example, when I fished for crucian carp today, I specially prepared the ingredients and used ordinary crucian carp feed and then fried it in rapeseed oil... to lure the crucian carp. It’s excellent.”
"Different types of fish require different types of bait." Uncle Fu said.
Xue Yuantong humbly asked: "It's so troublesome. Is there any universal bait?"
Uncle Fu sneered and said something wise: "There is no universal bait, only a universal fisherman."
Xue Yuantong: "I understand."
The rich uncle saw her toy-like fishing rod and said with contempt in his words: "So you just treat it as fishing today."
He stopped talking and the atmosphere gradually became silent.
Two minutes later.
Xue Yuantong saw the buoy sinking. She quickly pulled the pole and pulled hard. A palm-sized crucian carp flapped its tail and flew out of the water. The water splashed like pearls when illuminated by the bright sunset.
Xue Yuantong held the slippery fish body in her small hands, and she deliberately shouted: "It's hooked, crucian carp!"
Uncle Fu looked at her in astonishment, and he was stunned for a few seconds. How could it be possible?
Jiang Ning continued to cast the spell.
Three minutes later, Xue Yuantong caught another small carp.
Xue Yuantong deliberately shouted again.
Uncle Fu still did not make any movement.
Xue Yuantong took some time and asked innocently, "Uncle, why do you always have an empty rod?"
Uncle Fu's face sank, and he fished silently.
Finally, after Xue Yuantong called out the name of the fish for the fifth time, Uncle Fu suddenly threw his hands to the ground, threw away the fishing rod and stool, and got into the car and left.
Watching Uncle Fu leave, Xue Yuantong asked Jiang Ning: "Will Boss Yang have one less customer in the future?"
Jiang Ning: "It's hard to say."
Fishing is like this, no matter what equipment you have, whoever can catch fish is strong, and whoever can't catch fish is a laughing stock.
Xue Yuantong left with the children's equipment.
Lin Zida suddenly had a toothache: "Damn it, it's okay to be good at studying, but how come you are so good at fishing?"
...
Chuchu is out of school.
Jiang Ning and Tongtong went to the river dam to greet her and buy vegetables on the way.
They were still on the road, and Xue Chuchu had already arrived at the river dam. There were stalls all along the asphalt road, and the goods were quite complete.
Xue Chuchu parked the battery car on the road and prepared to pick some vegetables to cook.
She glanced at the busy river dam and suddenly found a beautiful figure. The girl was not very old and had a very good figure. It was just that she was wearing a baseball cap, so her complete face could not be seen clearly, but the exposed white chin was also stunning.
When she was paying attention, the girl seemed to notice and also cast a look.
Xue Chuchu quickly turned her head and looked at the road in the field below. She saw Jiang Ning walking in front and Tongtong following him like a little tail.
Seeing this scene, Xue Chuchu couldn't help but smile lightly.
"Chuchu, I caught a fish. We'll have fish and shrimp tonight!" Xue Yuantong was very proud.
"Okay." Chuchu found the stall selling shrimp and asked about the price of green shrimp.
"20 per catty."
Xue Chuchu was good at managing the household and bargained down to 17 yuan and successfully won the deal.
Xue Yuantong praised: "A journey of a thousand miles tells a horse's strength. Chuchu, you are very good."
Chuchu said that she was very good at reading poetry and should not show it to outsiders in the future to prevent disaster.
The two of them went to a fruit shop and saw that the green grapes were quite fresh. Xue Yuantong asked the boss lady how they tasted, and the boss lady asked her to try them.
Xue Yuantong washed one and ate it.
Feeling that the taste was average, she and Chuchu left without saying a word.
The boss lady's business was not very good today. Seeing that they had eaten but had no reaction, she was not in a good mood and said in a yin-yang tone: "What do you want to buy to eat?"
Xue Yuantong was very tough: "Just eat!"
The boss lady was about to speak when Jiang Ning approached with a knife, and the scene instantly became very harmonious.
Jiang Ning returned to the tricycle and continued to cut sugar cane.
Xue Yuantong clenched his fists and said to Chuchu in a low voice: "I am no longer the person I used to be."
Xue Chuchu was speechless.
But she did witness Tongtong's changes.
Rural children like Xue Chuchu are undoubtedly at the bottom of society. Since childhood, no matter what they see or their parents teach them, they have become obedient.
Even when they encounter injustice, they will comfort themselves by saying "suffering a loss is a blessing."
But while she was still standing still, Tongtong seemed to have lived another life.
Xue Yuantong continued to stroll with Chuchu. She always liked to stroll to the place where rabbits were sold, staring at the cute rabbits in the cage, and her sympathy overflowed.
At a certain inadvertent moment, the two met Ding Shuyan in front of a tricycle selling sheets and quilt covers.
Xue Yuantong admired: "Chuchu, you are so good at bargaining, so thrifty!"
Xue Chuchu smiled shyly.
The unintentional words were heard by Ding Shuyan.
‘Oh, bargaining? ’ Under the shadow of the hat brim, Ding Shuyan’s eyes showed interest.
Today, she was called by her cousin Lin Zida to go fishing at the river dam. She stayed near the fish pond for a while, climbed the river dam alone, admired the scenery and lingered in the market stalls, experiencing the fireworks of the world with a detached mentality.
Hearing what the two girls who were very close to Jiang Ning said, Ding Shuyan suddenly wanted to give it a try.
After all, she was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how mature she pretended to be, the girlish vigor deep in her heart could not be concealed no matter what.
Ding Shuyan’s ability to buy fruits was extremely powerful, as if it was a natural skill. She only needed to look at and touch the fruits to judge the quality of the fruits.
She locked onto the nearby fruit stall and moved forward.
The boss lady’s business was not good today, and she was ridiculed again. She was angry, but because of her livelihood, she could only put on a smile.
"All fresh fruits, look."
Ding Shuyan ignored the grapes and looked at the oranges piled together. These oranges were quite good. Her slender white fingers brushed over the oranges and gently picked up a plump orange.
Her beautiful hands, in contrast to the bright colors of the oranges, were quite beautiful.
The proprietress said at the right time: "Three dollars and a half."
Hearing this, Ding Shuyan's curiosity surged in her heart, as if she was trying something new. It was time to use her bargaining skills!
Her voice was like a spring.
She said: "How about two dollars?"
The proprietress was already in a bad mood. The oranges were not cheap, but the customer cut her almost in half with a knife. The proprietress was irritated.
She shouted: "Get lost!"
Ding Shuyan glanced at the middle-aged woman who was throwing a tantrum and walked away silently.
She walked a little further away, and then found Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu looking at her.
Ding Shuyan's mood: '…'
Even though her accomplishments far surpassed those of her peers, she still couldn't avoid embarrassing thoughts.
She took a deep breath and thought worriedly: 'Did they hear the boss lady tell me to get out just now? '
Xue Yuantong looked at the girl in the hat and whispered: "So miserable."
Xue Chuchu: "Yeah."
Ding Shuyan's breath was disordered.
She walked a little further away, took out her mobile phone, and called an uncle who worked in the government.
Ten minutes later, a car drove to the river dam, and two men got off to buy fruit.
They bought a lot, and after weighing, the two took out their own scales, weighed them again, and then arrested the boss lady who sold fruit in the name of the ghost scale. She will be fined.
Ding Shuyan watched this scene and finally felt relieved.
She happily met up with Lin Zida and others.
…
Compared to other people on the dam who didn’t know the truth, Xue Yuantong, who knew the whole story, was shocked.
“Amazing!” Xue Yuantong exclaimed.
Xue Chuchu didn’t say anything or comment.
On the way home, Xue Yuantong told Jiang Ning about this incident. She suspected that the reason why the proprietress was arrested was because of the girl in the hat.
Jiang Ning: “Her name is Ding Shuyan.”
Xue Chuchu suddenly asked: “How do you know?”
Xue Yuantong: “Yes, yes!”
Jiang Ning: “She is from the experimental class 1 next to us. I have her friends. We once played Landlord and won her happy beans. Have you forgotten?”
Xue Yuantong thought about it carefully. Although she didn’t remember the defeated opponent, it seemed that there was such a thing!
Xue Yuantong: “Then she is still very powerful, but... not as powerful as me.”
Jiang Ning: “Of course, the fruit sellers dare not confront you head-on.”
Xue Yuantong was very happy to hear this and decided not to exploit Chuchu at night. She personally cooked and prepared some of Jiang Ning’s favorite food.
At this time, the fish pond.
It was getting dark, and Ding Shuyan appeared behind Lin Zida and said quietly: "How many fish have you caught?"
Lin Zida: "If I catch two more, I will have two fish."
Ding Shuyan: "Not bad."
Zhuang Jianhui reminded: "Shuyan, he is lying to you. He didn't catch any fish at all. He is not as good as other children's fishing rods."
Ding Shuyan: "I know, don't forget, if you can't catch any fish, you can give him a free-range chicken. He is really good."
Lin Zida almost forgot about this, and he quickly said: "Let's go, let's go, ask Boss Yang for a free-range chicken, and we will kill and stew it now."
He put away the rod and fishing tools, and said to the two security guards nearby: "Brother, let's go."
To the east of the bungalow, Xue Yuantong came to the door with shrimps to deal with them.
Bi Yue's Porsche Cayenne drove past the door and headed towards the farmhouse.
