Chapter 187 I don’t want to be too conspicuous
Yu Xinyan instinctively wanted to wave her hand, but she hadn't said 'no need' yet.
He Jinxuan then said: "Don't worry, there are still a few days anyway, you take your time."
After speaking, he left with Ye Sili and Ye Siyan.
Yu Xinyan closed the door, thinking about what He Jinxuan said, and whispered: "Bring something."
Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and my mood soared. I hummed some ditties and prepared the baits for tomorrow. The ones I had prepared in the space were almost used up, and I just prepared some more when I had time.
She goes fishing in the Yuquan River every few days. Many people in the family home know that if some people want to eat fish, they will look for it. Anyway, the place where she fishes is there.
The next day, when the genius was dim, Yu Xinyan went out with the things she bought.
Her special bait is sure to catch one catch. By the time someone comes over, there are already seven or eight big fish in her bucket.
Someone greeted her with a smile: "Xinyan girl, you came early enough today."
Yu Xinyan responded with a smile: "Today is Monday, I have to get to school earlier."
The man looked down at the fish in her bucket: "Oh, this fat head fish is not bad, bring me one, just today when my son and daughter-in-law come back, they like this one."
Yu Xinyan didn't look back: "Master, you can choose which one you want."
The old man laughed and picked out one from the inside. Uncle Jiang, who happened to be known as 'hands are a steelyard', came over with his hands behind his back.
The old man asking for fish smiled and shouted: "Old man Jiang, you should be faster."
Uncle Jiang would come over every morning to exercise, and when Yu Xinyan was fishing by the river, he would help out with the scales. Of course, Yu Xinyan had never done anything wrong to him, and every time he collected the pole and left, he would ask him to pick a bucket. fish as payment.
Uncle Jiang is also very particular. He doesn’t pick the big fish in the bucket, but he doesn’t refuse, which makes both of them feel at ease.
Today is the same, Yu Xinyan is in charge of fishing and collecting money, and Uncle Jiang is in charge of weighing the catty by hand. The fish is really fresh. Except for Jihua, mandarin fish, and black fish, which cost 60 cents per catty, the other fish are 40 cents per catty. The price is lower than the market.
It’s not that the old man wanted a fat head just now, and he met him right away, with a smile on his face, and the opening price was only 2.8 yuan, which is still a fraction of the price.
It didn't take long for the shore to become lively, you and me, and all the fish in the kung fu bucket will be out in a while, Yu Xinyan looked at the time: "I'm sorry, I have to go back, let's go back again." Those who are fishing can’t be shot anymore, someone made an appointment yesterday, so let’s leave.”
Yu Xinyan's rules are like this, if she can't tell the fish, she will definitely not get out, and those who don't catch the fish can only look for fishermen elsewhere to try their luck.
Yu Xinyan doesn't make too many shots every time. She doesn't want to be too conspicuous, so she does this because she wants to have a source for the money in her hand.
Caught a few more, and then stopped. Today, Uncle Jiang picked a crucian carp.
Yu Xinyan looked at the fish in his hand: "Uncle Jiang, you pick another one, that crucian carp is not too big, one is not enough to eat."
Uncle Jiang waved his hand with a smile: "This is the rule, it can't be broken. It's agreed that one piece will be paid each time. My second wife's niece has a baby and wants to breastfeed. I'll let her send it over."
Yu Xinyan saw that there was a crucian carp in the bucket, which was smaller than the one in Uncle Jiang's hand, so she directly pulled the grass by the river and strung it up, "One is a bit ugly, so take this one too."
Uncle Jiang looked at the one in his hand and reached out to take it: "Then I won't take it next time, just treat it as getting paid in advance."
Yu Xinyan started to tidy up quickly: "This crucian carp is small in the first place, and two of them together are no match for one other fish. You have been helping the girl a lot during this time, and I can't let Uncle Jiang suffer, right?"
Uncle Jiang was a little embarrassed, but Yu Xinyan insisted, thanked him, and happily left with the fish.
Yu Xinyan carried the fish back to the family courtyard and went straight to Zhang's house.
Uncle Zhang has been waiting for a long time: "Xinyan girl, let my old man see what kind of fish there are."
As she spoke, she looked at the bucket in Yu Xinyan's hand, saw the fish in the bucket clearly, and shouted happily to the kitchen: "Old woman, quickly get out the basin."
One black fish and one fat head were kept, and after being weighed by the scale at home, they were put into the big basin brought out by Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang pulled Yu Xinyan to talk there.
Uncle Zhang went back to the house, and when he came out, he had an extra thread-bound book in his hand: "Xinyan girl, how much is the total?"
Yu Xinyan said with a smile: "The black fish is four catties and two taels, which is four catties, two yuan and four, and the fat head is more than six catties, which is also two yuan and four. You can give a total of four and eight yuan."
