Just as Liu Xiaojun threw the fishing hook into the water, he heard the voice of his third uncle Yan Bugui behind him.
"Xiaojun, why did you choose such a place to fish? You're obviously a novice. Don't look at the empty ice patch you chose. It's in the shade, and the water is too clear, so it's not easy to fish."
then.
The third uncle's eyes rolled, and he said seriously, "Come on, let me find you a place. I'm sure you'll catch fish in this place."
"But when you catch one, give me the biggest one."
"Hey, what do you think? Is this a good deal?"
Liu Xiaojun smiled and shook his head.
The third uncle is indeed the most calculating uncle in the courtyard.
A wise saying: If you eat well and drink well, you will not be poor; if you fail to plan well, you will be poor.
Does he think he is a three-year-old child?
You want to get a fish from him with just a few sweet words?
Or the biggest one?
Don’t even think about it!
Feeling the force of the fish pulling at the hook, Liu Xiaojun said playfully, "Uncle, are you sure I can't catch fish here?"
"If I catch one, how about you buy it for thirty cents?"
According to the market price of fish, twenty cents is actually a good deal.
Liu Xiaojun asked the third uncle for three cents, and the extra cent was really meant to teach the third uncle a lesson for plotting against him.
When the third uncle Yan Bugui heard this, he said, "Okay!"
"If you catch it, I'll give you three cents."
"If you didn't catch anything, how about you pay me thirty cents?"
A confident smile appeared on Liu Xiaojun's lips.
With the fishing skills provided by the system, you can definitely catch this fish.
The third uncle made a bet with himself and he would lose.
Liu Xiaojun didn't even think twice and said, "Deal!"
When the third uncle heard this, he was happy.
As a veteran angler, he was certain that there would be no fish to be caught in the place chosen by Liu Xiaojun.
Then Liu Xiaojun is making a bet with me, so he is just giving me money for free!
By then, I can catch fish and get money from Liu Xiaojun, then I will have everything!
While the two were talking, several people gathered around to watch.
These people were fishing nearby. When they heard the noise, they wanted to come and watch the fun.
"Young man, isn't your bet too big? Let me tell you, this place is really hard to fish in. You've fallen into this old man's trap!"
"Who said it wasn't true? Uncle, why are you still bullying children?"
The people next to me were gossiping one after another.
But who is the Third Uncle? He is used to calculating and doesn’t care what people around him say.
The third uncle said confidently: "Don't talk nonsense, this guy has already promised me, so he can't cheat."
When the people around heard this, they shook their heads and turned away.
Alas, this is a losing situation, there is nothing interesting to watch.
If anyone is to blame, it's that the young man is too young and couldn't resist the old man's deception.
Just wait and see, this young man will lose to me soon.
It’s terrible!
at this time.
Hearing the discussions around him, the third uncle was secretly delighted.
It seems that Xiaojun is still too young and accepted his bet so easily.
You agreed so readily, but when you lose to yourself later, just prepare to cry.
Everyone said there were no fish in this place, but he just didn't believe it.
Anyway, it's a sure win situation, so I'll just sit here and wait to collect the money.
The third uncle put his hands on his hips, waiting confidently for Liu Xiaojun to be slapped in the face.
Liu Xiaojun doesn't care what others think, he just wants to fish.
Shift your gaze from the third uncle to the fishing float.
When he started chatting with the third uncle, he noticed a fish taking the bait. By now, the fish should have been caught.
Liu Xiaojun believed that as long as he lifted the rod, the fish would definitely be caught.
The next moment, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” The sound of fish pulling at the fishing line broke through the air.
Seeing that something was happening here again, those who wanted to leave after watching the excitement immediately turned back.
Hey!
Judging from the sound, this fish is making quite a lot of noise.
"Young man, hurry up and lift it up, hurry up and lift it up, or the fish will run away."
Seeing a fish about to take the bait, an older brother next to him got so excited that his face turned red, and he wanted to push Liu Xiaojun away and do it himself.
Another big brother patted the excited big brother on the shoulder and said, "Oh, what do you know? You're just a stinky fish basket! This fish is really strong. If the fishing line breaks and it runs away, wouldn't it be a loss of both the wife and the army?"
The excited elder brother scratched his head and said, "Oh, that's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Now, I should give the fish a good walk to wear out all its energy, and then I can pull it out!"
The big brothers next to them were discussing enthusiastically, and they were almost in a state of ecstasy, as if they were the ones holding the fishing rod.
The third uncle stared at the fishing rod in Liu Xiaojun's hand with his eyes wide open.
Hey, I just finished talking about how you can't catch any fish in this place.
What a good thing! It took the bait the moment I turned around.
What the hell is going on?
At this moment, the uncle's heart was like a boiling pot, and he kept shouting frantically in his mind: "Don't let this fish come up, don't let this fish come up!"
Otherwise, I would have lost three cents in one go.
That's thirty cents, not three cents.
Three cents in 1952 was quite valuable.
Cornmeal costs about 10 cents per pound, rice costs about 20 cents per pound, flour also fluctuates around 20 cents per pound, pork costs around 60 cents per pound, and beef costs around 50 cents per pound.
