Zeng Wangcai wondered if all the fish in the Yongding River would be caught dry under this density. He even saw a boat in the middle of the river with a person standing on it. The thing in his hand could not be seen clearly because it was not bright yet, but it should be a fishing net.
What the hell, the poor Yongding River...is full of people?
After the shock, Zeng Wangcai came to his senses. His father said that everywhere with water in the city was full of people, and he was afraid that it would be the same here in the future, or even more people. It was estimated that anyone who had time and could get fishing tools would try their luck fishing.
"You see, there are a lot of people. If you don't get here early, the good seats will be gone." Old Man Liu said with emotion.
Zeng Wangcai heard a hint of helplessness and pain in Old Man Liu's words, but when he thought of Old Man Liu's identity, Zeng Wangcai immediately felt relieved.
This is not something to be happy about. When a leader sees this, it is normal to feel some emotion. This shows that the leader is not bad and at least has a sense of responsibility.
Although the Yongding River is long, not all places are suitable for fishing. The river banks in some places are not suitable, and there is no shade in some places. People who fish today are not like those anglers in later generations who spend huge amounts of money to configure equipment, so site selection is very important.
Therefore, the area where Zeng Wangcai looked for last time is very popular.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs and talk." said Old Man Liu.
Last time, there was a distance of more than ten meters between Old Man Liu’s fishing spot and Zeng Wangcai’s fishing spot. Now both fishing spots and the section between them are occupied.
When they got down to the river, the Tiger and Leopard brothers were already cutting bamboos with ease. The bamboo pole they used for fishing last time had been broken countless times. The largest fish weighed more than ten pounds, and with unprocessed bamboo and inexperienced operators, how could they catch any fish without stopping?
Old Liu didn't prepare any fishing gear. He patted the fat guy and said to Zeng Wangcai, "Brother Wangcai, let me introduce you to Xiao Zheng, a purchasing agent for a canteen."
"Haha, Brother Zheng!" Zeng Wangcai greeted with a smile, "Uncle, you came prepared today and brought some purchases with you. Are you planning to sell the fish you caught directly?"
The fat man surnamed Zheng said that he dared not call him big brother, and answered for Old Man Liu: "Brother Wangcai, you can just call me Fatty Zheng. Calling me big brother is too distant, and I can't bear it. I'm not here for that big...uncle, I'm here for you."
"I?"
"Forget it, I'll speak for him!" Old Man Liu saw that Fatty Zheng was hesitating, so he said bluntly, "I don't have that ability. He is in the logistics department of Peking University, in charge of purchasing. I brought him here today to see if you can still catch a lot of fish. If you can, please give me some face and sell him some."
I see. Old man Liu is here to find food for the teachers and students of Peking University.
Even a place like Peking University has to go out to fight in the wild. What does this mean? It means that the supply has become extremely tight.
Generally speaking, many places have priority supply qualifications. There is no need to explain this. Those who understand will understand. For example, important institutions, hospitals, etc., and schools like Peking University definitely have certain priorities.
Now they have to go out and fight in the wild, which shows that the food rations in places like Peking University are not enough.
"No problem, as long as we catch any, we'll give them to you!" Zeng Wangcai said generously.
"No, too much is not good!" Old Man Liu objected, "Sell him some of it in proportion, and sell the rest to the purchasing station or to your factory cafeteria."
Zeng Wangcai understood that if the steel was sold to the canteen, it would benefit the workers in the steel mill, and if it was sold to the purchasing station, it would go through a second distribution.
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Zeng Wangcai agreed readily again.
Fat Zheng thanked Zeng Wangcai repeatedly with a smile on his face, and was very polite to Zeng Wangcai, as if he had already caught several hundred kilograms of fish. But in fact, Fat Zheng came here on a Sunday out of helplessness. He was assigned by his leader, and his leader was undoubtedly related to Old Man Liu. He didn't believe at all how many fish these childish little guys like Zeng Wangcai could catch.
However, Fat Zheng also had his own plans. Since he was here and there were so many people fishing here, maybe he could buy fish from others.
Why is it uncertain? Because although Fat Zheng has the quota, the purchase price cannot be on par with the black market pigeon market. After all, not everyone is like Zeng Youqian, who puts safety first. If they can't even get enough to eat, why not try and wait for starvation?
Zeng Wangcai is different. He has almost unlimited supplies and what he pursues is stability and security rather than price.
The two sides separated and made their own preparations. Zeng Wangcai used a kitchen knife to dig earthworms, but he didn't even think about using a hoe. City people don't farm or grow crops, and except for those who like to grow flowers at home, few people have such production tools at home.
"Wangcai, how do we make a barbecue?" Zhang Xiuzhi asked.
It was agreed before that everyone would go fishing. Zhang Xiuzhi would also go fishing, but she also had another task. She needed to prepare the barbecue with Huang Liang, who had difficulty walking.
The fishing equipment is not ready yet, and Zhang Xiuzhi can't sit still, so she prepares for the barbecue first.
"Just dig a hole, and Yangzi and the others will come back to cut branches later." Zeng Wangcai stopped digging for earthworms and pulled out two kitchen knives from the tool man's canvas backpack, "Liangzi, take the knives and go over to help."
Huang Liang came over and picked up the kitchen knife, walked to Zhang Xiuzhi's side, put down the knife without saying a word, turned around and squatted next to Zeng Wangcai.
"I'm digging earthworms!" Huang Liang said in a muffled voice, and then began to dig in a small place.
Huang Liang's behavior almost made Zeng Wangcai laugh to death. He said, "Liangzi, let me tell you something. Your parents asked me to do something."
"What's the matter?" When talking to Zeng Wangcai, Huang Liang's voice was a little louder, sounding much more normal.
