That’s right, after the initial recognition, Sha Zhu came to his senses and remembered again the original intention of his coming to the tavern, which was for Xu Huizhen.
But, I’ve been drinking for a while, why haven’t I seen it yet?
If Jia Dongsheng knew what Sha Zhu was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. Today, Xu Huizhen took his mother and wife shopping.
This woman goes shopping regardless of age or wealth. How could she possibly come back if she doesn't shop all day?
Therefore, he had already known that it was impossible for him to meet Xu Huizhen this time, and he just came here to have a drink.
Afterwards, Sha Zhu, who couldn't wait for Xu Huizhen to show up, invited Cai Quanwu to go to the courtyard to get acquainted with the place and introduce it to He Yushui.
But Cai Quanwu felt that it was already dark after drinking, and it didn't seem appropriate to visit the house so late at night.
Sha Zhu didn't care about this at all: "Second Uncle, you are Yu Shui and I's biological uncle. What's the big deal about visiting at night? Let's just say it. Yu Shui will definitely be very happy to know your existence."
"Well, let's drink for a while and then go back with you to take a look."
Cai Quanwu also nodded and agreed. It felt like he had family, which was really good for him as a lonely man.
Seeing that they had almost finished their conversation, Jia Dongsheng stood up and walked towards Pian Ye.
"Hey, brother Dongsheng, are you done with your work?" There was a smile on Pian Ye's face.
"Well, I'm done."
Jia Dongsheng nodded, sat down, and said, "Mr. Pian, have you sold all the medicine you bought last time?"
"Sold out, sold out, oh my, it's really popular."
Speaking of this, Pian Ye was very excited. It had only been a few days and he had earned more than a hundred yuan.
At the beginning, he sold the medicine at 12 yuan per pill. Later, when he saw that the sales were better, he raised the price by another yuan. Even at 13 yuan per pill, people still liked it. He made a lot of money, much more than performing shadow puppet shows.
"So how much medicine does Pian Ye want this time?"
After a pause and a glance at Pian Ye, Jia Dongsheng said, "Let's make a deal. I don't want cash, I want yellow croaker."
"Okay, okay, yellow croaker is also fine. It's just a matter of exchanging it. It's not that troublesome."
Pian Ye doesn't care whether it's gold or cash. As long as there's profit to be made, he doesn't care what Jia Dongsheng takes.
After secretly calculating in his mind, he stretched out a finger and said, "Brother Dongsheng, I want one hundred."
"One hundred?"
"So many?"
Hiss, I made money, I made money, I can drink bowl after bowl of soy milk.
Jia Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his smile became brighter. "One is ten yuan, a hundred is exactly a thousand yuan. The small yellow croaker is two hundred and forty yuan each. Give me four small yellow croakers, and the rest will be settled in cash."
"no problem."
Pian Ye made up his mind that when he got out of here, he would find a place to exchange for small yellow croakers. Then he thought that after selling these 100 pills, he could make 300 yuan. Thinking about it, the wrinkles on Pian Ye's face were all laughed at.
The two of them drank a few sips of wine and agreed to trade at the tavern tomorrow night. Then Pian Ye left happily, as he wanted to exchange the cash for small yellow croaker.
Jia Dongsheng and others continued drinking for a while before leaving the tavern.
Sha Zhu came with high hopes but left disappointed. There was nothing he could do. How could he be happy since he hadn't seen Xu Huizhen until he left?
But at the same time, he was in a pretty good mood because he had become related to Cai Quanwu Ren. From now on, in this city, except for He Yushui, he was no longer without relatives and friends.
The front yard of the quadrangle.
Yan Fugui just came back from fishing. Since the holiday started, he has been out all day long, leaving at dawn and coming back at dusk, always on time. He also learned the method of setting a fishing spot from Jia Dongsheng.
Although Yan Fugui was still very stingy when making the nest and was reluctant to make a big nest, his harvest was far less than that of Jia Dongsheng.
However, it is better to make a nest than not to make one. At least Yan Fugui is no longer in the empty net. He can get some fish every day, and sometimes he can even catch big fish.
Of course, for Yan Fugui, any fish weighing more than five kilograms is considered a big fish.
He had just returned today and was standing proudly by the side, asking his son to unload the bucket of fish from the car.
From his smug expression, we can tell that today's gains must be considerable.
"Dad, how many fish did you catch? It's so heavy."
Yan Jiefang was holding the bucket and felt that it was much heavier than yesterday. He also knew that he would have a lot of harvest today, so he asked Yan Fugui excitedly.
Yan Fugui was just waiting for Yan Jiefang to ask. If he didn't ask, why would the neighbors in the yard look over?
If he doesn't look over here, how can he pretend to be so powerful?
"Ahem, not many, just over ten fish, not a lot."
Yan Fugui was trying hard to suppress a smile, his face almost twisted, but he was still pretending: "It's just that I was lucky today and caught a ten-jin silver carp. This is really fun."
"Silver carp?"
"Or ten kilograms?"
"Is this Third Master so lucky today?"
"I think this is the first time I've heard of Uncle Three catching such a big fish since I moved into the front yard."
"Who says it isn't? This little guy is really rich today. A ten-pound silver carp can probably be sold for three or four yuan, right?"
"You don't understand. The bigger the fish, the more valuable it is. A ten-jin silver carp would probably sell for fifty cents a jin."
"So it can be sold for five dollars?"
"Who says it's not true? Uncle Three is really awesome."
“…”
These discussions made Yan Fugui feel so happy. After so many years of fishing, she felt proud for the first time. There was no other way. This was the first time she caught a fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
"Who caught the big fish?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the yard, and the next moment, Jia Dongsheng and his group walked in.
Because Cai Quanwu came to recognize his relatives, Qiangzi went back after drinking and did not follow him, so there were only Jia Dongsheng, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and Cai Quanwu.
And the one who spoke was Sha Zhu.
"Silly Zhu, where have you been? Why is your face so red?"
Yan Fugui took over and said, "I caught a ten-jin silver carp."
"A ten-jin silver carp, what a big fish!"
Sha Zhu said in surprise, then smiled again: "Dongsheng, we went out fishing today. What's the heaviest fish you caught?"
Well, this guy Shazhu feels uncomfortable unless he offends others.
Yan Fugui just wants to show off in front of his neighbors, why do you have to slap him in the face?
Sometimes, it's really nice to get slapped in the face. So, a hint of a smile flashed in Jia Dongsheng's eyes. Then, as if answering, or thinking, he said, "I forgot. I didn't weigh it when it was that big, but I guess it weighed more than 20 kilograms. After all, it's a bighead carp, and its big head takes up a lot of space."
