Chapter 118: Extreme Cold. Buying Fishing Nets
The two of them packed up the barbecue utensils, Gu Ye put it on his back and continued walking forward.
After the daily necessities area is the service trade area. Gu Ye's clothes are enough for him to wear for several years, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Chu An has even less use for them.
The two of them saw Yin Tianlin and Huo Sisi in the Service Trade Zone. Li Rong was not with them. Most likely, he didn't want to be a third wheel, so he went to find Tang Xiao.
After a few simple greetings, Chu An took Gu Ye away and passed by the food area, where he symbolically bought some easy-to-store items. Noodles, instant noodles, sealed beef jerky and pickles, spending 80,000 yuan but still not enough to fill a snakeskin bag.
Gu Ye felt a little sorry for the money, and Chu An comforted him by saying that he still had hundreds of thousands in his card, which was paid back by people who owed money to Old Chu.
Unexpectedly, this sentence reminded him that Gu Ye had his mother's WeChat login password and bank card password. When handling the inheritance, there were some small amounts that Gu Tianming didn't like and didn't provide to the lawyer, and some were more complicated. Gu's mother's father was still alive, and although he had never come to the future, he also had the right of inheritance, so the handling was very cumbersome and it had not been completed before the rainstorm.
The two people immediately found an empty corner to operate. There were 80,000 yuan in WeChat and four bank cards were connected.
Gu Ye tried to transfer money from the cards, but only two of them worked, and he transferred more than 200,000 yuan. The two used WeChat and his mother's photo to find the card number, and logged into the online bank. The card that could not be transferred was frozen, and the other two cards had more than 7 million yuan each.
Gu Ye immediately bought 20 kilograms of crayfish, 10 kilograms for garlic-flavored dishes and 10 kilograms for spicy dishes.
………
If all the money was exchanged for supplies, Qingrun Apartment would not be able to store them all. Chu An decided to wait until he got home to study and buy whatever he could today.
She was afraid that Gu Ye would strain his ribs while carrying heavy objects, so she rented a cart. Not a supermarket cart, but a wheelbarrow from the countryside. It took them a while to learn how to drive it.
It costs 1,000 yuan to push the cart for an hour.
There are no fruits and vegetables in the trading market. After passing the grain and oil area, there is one last place left, which is also the largest private area. Everything is sold there, from off-road vehicles to screws.
The car was in the stadium's revolving parking lot, and the owner felt that he would not have the chance to use it in the future, so he might as well sell it now to earn money for food.
Chu An didn't need a car, he didn't even look at it, he went straight to the welding machine. This was a good thing, it would be indispensable when building a house or installing protective nets in the future.
She immediately thought of how to use the 14 million yuan. She was going to set up a stall to collect boats and various construction tools. She suppressed her joy and continued to stroll, attracted by the fishing stall.
There were several shops in a row, and there were many people gathered in each shop. Everyone wanted to fish something out of the water, but due to their limited money, they only looked and bought less.
The two men squeezed into the crowd. There were all kinds of things on the ground, including casting nets, trawl nets, purse seine nets, gill nets, drift nets, various cages and sea fishing tools.
She had worked in a seafood wholesale store in a village in the city, so she had some knowledge about these things. After taking a few glances, she found that 90% of them were defective.
The stall owner kept talking about how his net could be used repeatedly and was very durable.
"Let's go." Chu An didn't want to waste time here.
"Young man, do you want to buy a fishing net?" A dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man stood next to Gu Ye and asked cautiously when they turned around.
Before Gu Ye could reply, he heard the stall owner's angry curses.
"Alpaca, come and steal my food." The stall owner pointed at the old man, "Poor old man, believe it or not, I will destroy you."
The uncle pursed his lips, but his dark face turned red. His eyes trembled but he said nothing. He was also selling fishing nets, but he had no money to pay the stall fee, so he could only ask with a smug look on his face. However, he only asked people who were leaving, and he would not pry those who wanted to stay and buy.
After the stall owner finished scolding, many people who were looking at the net left again. This time he was even angrier. There were many people who came to look at it every day, but few bought anything. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the uncle by the collar, "Old Biden, I beat you so hard today that even your mother couldn't recognize you."
"I... I didn't mean it. I asked because they were about to leave." The uncle was carried up and could only tiptoe on the ground, grabbing the stall owner's arms with both hands.
Chu An didn't want to care about it. There would be more and more such things in the future. Besides, there were security guards here, so he didn't dare to really do anything.
"If it wasn't intentional, then compensate me for my internet money."
"I...I don't have any money."
The stall owner took off the uncle's watch, and then took off his coat and belt, "Give me these things."
The uncle didn't care about the clothes but refused to give up the watch. He grabbed the stall owner's arm and begged, "This was bought for me by my daughter. She is out there and I don't know whether she is alive or dead. This is my only thought. You can't take it away."
The stall owner kicked him away and he fell in front of Chu An who had already left.
Uh... it's not easy to step over it. Mai doesn't have such long legs, so there are people on both sides that he can't go around.
“Old thing, I advise you to leave quickly and don’t force me to do it.” The stall owner looked at the watch greedily. In fact, it was not a famous brand. It cost about five or six thousand in its heyday.
The uncle took a long time to recover, and the stall owner next to him was unhappy, "Hurry up and move away, don't delay our business."
Some people accused, some people came up to push, they didn't care about other people's disputes, but they couldn't delay their own money-making. However, this push also implicated Chu An and Gu Ye.
Gu Ye's long legs quickly jumped over the uncle on the ground and carried Chu An away from the place of trouble... He was addicted to it, it was really useful.
Just when the two men had just stood firm, the uncle got up from the ground, still a little staggering, and grabbed Gu Ye's clothes to lend him some strength.
Gu Ye held Chu An in both hands and ignored him. The fact that he could get up proved that it was no big deal.
The uncle got up from the ground and fell to the side of the stall owner again, grabbing the edge of his clothes and begging, "Please, give it back to me, please."
"Go, go, go find the one who is kind-hearted." The stall owner glanced at Chu An and Gu Ye, "Aren't you asking them to buy fishing nets? Go find them."
"I don't want to sell the fishing nets anymore. I just want the watch. Please give it back to me. This is the only thing my girl has given me."
"Your girl is probably dead a long time ago, don't think about her."
"No...no. Xiao Yuan won't die." The uncle knew the dangers of natural disasters, but he never dared to think too much. Now that his paper hope was shattered, his eyes instantly turned red. He and his old mother now depend on each other, and Xiao Yuan is their only hope.
"Even if she's not dead, she was sold because she was played with enough." The stall owner became more and more cruel, even showing a smug smile, "Nowadays, every woman is being raped by thousands of people."
"Don't say that." The uncle suddenly stood up, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. "Don't say that about my daughter."
"Hey, what's wrong? Do you still want to hit me?"
The uncle clenched his back teeth and his whole body was shaking with anger.
"I'm telling you, your daughter wasn't just teased, she was teased to death, and her body was thrown into the water and fed to the fish. Not a bone is left."
The uncle suddenly threw the stall owner to the ground, grabbed a fishing net at random, wrapped it around his head, kicked and strangled him, and kept muttering, "You are not allowed to say that about Xiao Yuan, you are not allowed to say that about Xiao Yuan..."
The stall owner rolled his eyes and kicked and beat around, but he was unable to shake the father's heart to protect his daughter. It was not until the security guards arrived after hearing the news that they rescued him.
Someone nearby testified that it was the stall owner who started the fight and stole someone's watch and clothes. The security guard returned the items to him and told him to leave quickly.
The uncle fumbled with his watch, and finally put it against his chest, then walked out in a daze. He was unable to find his daughter, and he was not a qualified father.
The uncle left the prefabricated steel house and came to the edge of the trading market, where everyone was waiting for work. Many people ate and slept here, relying on the trading market for survival.
He rubbed his eyes and walked into a makeshift shed made of plastic sheeting, which contained various fishing tools. In the innermost shed sat a white-haired old lady, who must be at least 80 or 90 years old, looking kindly in the direction of the door.
"Son, you're back." Although the old lady was talking to the uncle, her eyes didn't move. Then, she touched the bowl and handed it to him, "Eat something, are you hungry?"
The uncle let out a long sigh and said, "Mom, you saved money for me again. I told you not to save money for me, I can just eat out."
"Hey, you're my son, I don't even know if you've eaten or not. I won't starve to death if I skip a meal, but you haven't eaten for a whole day, your body can't take it."
"Mom, I really have eaten. I'm not hungry." The man sat next to the old lady, held up his watch with a handkerchief and hid it in the quilt. Their family was not starving, but they could only eat until they were 50% full every day. He went to the market just to sell some fishing nets when he was not doing manual labor. Who knows what will happen in the future?
The old lady touched her son's arm and asked, "Why are your clothes wet?"
"I accidentally fell while working today, but I'm fine."
"Hey, where did you fall? Let me rub it for you."
"I'm not a child anymore, no need to rub it, it doesn't hurt."
As the two were talking, the plastic curtain was lifted up, and Gu Ye asked, "Boss, are you selling fishing nets?"
