"There are so many people buying fish before the Lunar New Year that we don't have enough fish to sell. That's why we don't want to sell fish here."
Liu Er's explanation is far-fetched.
"That's not enough to convince me. Go on."
It’s not that I don’t want to pay, these guys must have other reasons for not selling.
Liu Er hesitated for a few times, and finally said with determination: "We take the fish here and sort them back. Some of the good fish can be sold for the price of pork, and even the worthless fish can be sold for at least three cents."
Pork costs more than 80 cents per pound, and fish costs more than 80 cents per pound?
Fish from the New Year are so valuable!
This explains it. They can only make 13 cents by selling a pot of rotten fish to Wanfeng Sanmao. They take the cheapest ones back and sell them for 30 cents. Fish like Qilifuzi and carp weighing more than ten kilograms can definitely be sold for 80 cents. And so on. Big fish like oxtails, gaiyazi, and aohua can also be sold at this price, and small ones can be sold for 50 or 60 cents. It would be strange if they could sell them.
Wan Feng nodded. "That's a pretty good explanation, but you can name your price, right? It's not like I can't afford it. Even a dollar a pound is nothing, let alone fifty or sixty cents. You can come back later to pick it up, but I'll still buy the fish I liked today, and I'll only give you twenty cents now. It's not that I'm trying to take advantage of you, it's just compensation for my emotional loss. Weigh it!"
I came to the river with a lot of anger, and it's impossible for me to go back empty-handed. Not to mention that I will give you money, even if I take it for free, you have to bear it.
This time Liu Er didn't hesitate at all and went to Li Guangyin and the other three to weigh the fish.
All the fish weighed more than 73 kilograms.
Wan Feng took out fourteen yuan and gave it to Liu Er, then put the fish into a bag and tied it to the bicycle frame.
This is even more troublesome than buying fish, and it makes me so angry.
He was wondering whether he should go back and beat up that bear too!
After thinking about it, I decided to just forget it and consider it as a case of a grown-up person forgetting the villain’s fault.
Wan Feng picked out a carp weighing about 12 or 13 pounds from the fish bag and threw it to Li Guangyin. Then he said to Jin Xingbin, "Please take the fish home for me. I'm going to play in Sijitun today and go back tomorrow."
His younger brother is too young to carry all the fish, so he has to trouble Jin Xingbin.
So Jin Xingbin and a group of young men from the 42nd Company went back along the riverside.
"I'm going to play in Sijitun today and have dinner at your house tonight, is that okay?"
Li Guangyin patted his chest and said, "Of course, no problem."
Wan Feng let his brother ride the bicycle back, and he and Li Guangyin walked to the river bank.
The river bank of Sijitun is a deep-water wharf with a water depth of more than ten meters, which can accommodate cargo ships of several hundred tons.
This is the only dock along the river for dozens of miles that can reach such a deep water.
The dock is about one hundred meters long and is divided into two parts. There is a large granary in the north. Every autumn harvest, this granary is filled with all the grain within a radius of fifty miles.
Transported downstream by barge.
There is a simple passenger station on the southern shore of the pier. When passenger ships run on the river in the summer, people have to pass by here to take the boat.
When Wan Feng was in high school, he took a two-hour upstream boat ride to attend Xiaowujiazi Vocational High School upstream.
Outside the bus station is the supply and marketing cooperative and primary school of Sijitun. This area along the river is the commercial center of Sijitun.
There is no middle school in Sijitun, and middle school students also attend Dalinzi Middle School.
When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Wan Feng and Li Guangyin entered the cooperative.
There were quite a few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, some sitting, some standing, and some squatting around a brick stove in the middle of the ground, warming themselves by the fire. There were several bowls of white wine on the stove lid, and the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine.
These people spoke loudly and burst into laughter from time to time. Perhaps because they had been drinking, their words were filled with the smell of alcohol.
Li Guangyin carried a fish that was more than two feet long and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative like a warrior, which immediately attracted a lot of envy.
"Guangyin, where did you get such a fish to carry?" someone asked.
“I picked it up!”
"You little bastard, you're talking nonsense. Why can't I pick it up?"
"You are so old and your eyesight is blurry that you can't even see your own hands. Even if there is a fish in the middle of the road, you can't see it, so of course you can't pick it up."
While Li Guangyin was chatting with these drinkers, Wan Feng had already walked to the supplementary food group.
Wan Feng bought two packs of ginseng cigarettes, two bottles of sorghum wine and two bottles of wheat wine, all of which were unknown brands.
There's no real good wine here either.
Then I bought a bunch of canned meat and luncheon meat.
Li Guangyin was dumbfounded. How were the two of them going to get so much stuff back?
Just as I was thinking of a solution, a fragrant breeze blew over.
"Oh, isn't this Yunli? You came just in time to..."
"I'm called a flower now, you're not allowed to call me Yunli anymore."
Wan Feng was counting the bill at the counter when he heard this conversation and burst out laughing. Just based on this sentence, he remembered who the person was without looking back.
Qi Yunli, his classmate, sat in front of him when he was in Dalinzi middle school.
Among the thirty-one girls in the eighth grade class of Dalinzi Middle School, Qi Yunli is one of the prettiest ones.
Her only shortcoming is that she is a little short. Her tallest is probably no more than 1.6 meters. If she were around 1.645 meters tall, she would definitely be the most beautiful girl in the class.
In fact, her name itself is very good, Yunli has such an ethereal taste, but she changed it into a vulgar flower.
Lacquer Flowers, what kind of name is that? It would be strange if Wan Feng didn't laugh when he heard this name.
Another reason why Wan Feng laughed was that when the eighth grade started in her previous life, the new head teacher, Teacher Qian, called the roll. She stood up and corrected the teacher's mistakes very seriously, just like she corrected Li Guangyin just now.
"People call them lacquer flowers now."
Wan Feng still clearly remembers Teacher Qian’s confused expression.
"What are you laughing at?"
When Qi Xianhua saw that the person with Li Guangyin was smiling with his back to her, she thought it was that bastard Sijitun, so she said something rudely.
But when she saw that Wan Feng was someone she didn't know, she felt a little flustered.
"Hello, beautiful!" Wan Feng said while suppressing a smile.
Qi Yunli is a cheerful person who speaks boldly and acts decisively, otherwise she would not have changed her name to Flowers.
Wan Feng's words "Hello, beauty" left her at a loss. This was the first time she had heard the word "beauty".
But this word is very much to her liking.
Didn’t she change her name to flowers to highlight her beauty? Now her beauty has been upgraded to beauty!
Yes, I am a beauty!
I am the most beautiful woman in the world!
