"Credit store."
As Jia Dongsheng put the black fish into the bucket, he replied, "You can go and take a good look. I bought five sets of fishing gear, and they're not expensive."
"Okay, I'll go to the credit store when we get back later."
Although he is stingy, Yan Fugui is very decisive when he makes up his mind, without any hesitation.
"Dongsheng, tell me more about how to make a nest and how to make bait."
"Okay, then I'll teach you."
There are so many fish that Jia Dongsheng would not keep secret all the experiences that have become common in later generations just for the sake of fishing.
Seeing that his second bucket was only half full, he took the opportunity to chat with Yan Fugui while fishing.
I don’t know if it was because Yan Fugui was standing next to me that affected the magnetic field at this location, but the rhythm of catching fish suddenly stopped.
I couldn't catch a single fish for a long time.
But Jia Dongsheng didn't care. That's how fishing is. Sometimes you can sit there for a whole day and still go home empty-handed. Whether the fish will bite or not depends not only on your own fishing ability but also on luck.
Maybe Jia Dongsheng's luck has really run out?
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two ended their fishing trip for the day.
If Yan Fugui went out fishing as usual, it would be impossible for him to leave at this time. Even if he forced himself to leave, he would have to wait until after four o'clock before going back.
He just wanted to go to the credit store to buy fishing gear after returning, so he followed Jia Dongsheng back early.
After adding water, Jia Dongsheng's two buckets were almost full of fish, while Yan Fugui, who came with him, only caught two carp weighing about one kilogram.
If it were usual, two fish would be considered a good harvest for Yan Fugui, but today compared with Jia Dongsheng's two buckets of fish, it was really too shabby.
Back at the courtyard, Jia Dongsheng took out a three-jin carp from the bucket and handed it to Yan Fugui: "Third uncle, take it back and make some soup."
"Hey, Dongsheng, I'm so sorry, I have two fish here too."
Yan Fugui felt a little embarrassed. There was nothing he could do. They went there together, but he didn't gain anything. It was hard to say.
"Hey, it's just a fish, take it back and eat it."
After putting the fish into Yan Fugui's bucket, Jia Dongsheng pushed the cart back to the central courtyard.
"Dongsheng is back."
Jia Zhang was still sitting in her old position mending shoe soles. When she saw Jia Dongsheng come back, she hurriedly greeted him.
"Mom, when will you finish these shoes? I'm still looking forward to wearing them."
"I've made several pairs, and they'll be ready to wear in a few days."
Jia Zhang smiled and asked, "How's it going? Did you catch any fish?"
"Of course I caught it. To put it simply, it was an easy catch!"
As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng had already lifted the two buckets from the cart and placed them in front of Jia Zhang for her to check.
"So many?"
Jia Zhang was a little confused. Originally, in her mind, having three or five fish was considered good, but the fish in these two buckets, big and small, must have added up to twenty or thirty of them, right?
"How many fish are there? Why is there such a big one here?"
"Twenty-eight in total, and that one is a black carp." Jia Dongsheng replied indifferently.
Jia Dongsheng was quite satisfied with his achievements today.
"Dongsheng, how can we eat all this fish? Will it go bad if we keep it in the bucket?"
"Won't."
Jia Dongsheng replied, "We'll keep a few at home, and I'll send the rest to the steel mill. Our canteen will pay for them."
"Can it be sold to the factory?"
When she heard that it could be sold for money, Jia Zhang's eyes narrowed with smile. From her expression, you can tell that she must be in a good mood at the moment.
"The canteen director just told me that yesterday, and he said he would pay a high price for it."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I'll take these fish to the factory tomorrow and see how much I can sell them for."
The current price of live fish in the market is about 30 to 40 cents per pound, but yesterday Fang Zhuo wanted to buy it at twice the price, which is 70 to 80 cents per pound.
Even if Jia Dongsheng left a few fish for himself to eat, the fish in the bucket would still weigh more than 30 kilograms, and could probably be sold for around 30 yuan.
You wouldn’t know until you calculated it. When you do the calculation, you’ll be really shocked.
Thirty yuan, the average salary in that era, was only this much. I didn’t expect that I could earn so much by just fishing for a day.
"Dongsheng, what are you doing?"
At this time, Sha Zhu came out for some reason. Seeing Jia Dongsheng, he walked over with a smile: "Aunt Jia."
"Um."
Jia Zhangshi never treated Sha Zhu well.
Although Jia Dongxu had been gone for some time, Sha Zhu had been taking good care of the Jia family, but Jia Zhang knew in her heart that it was not because Sha Zhu was really kind, but because he had something to hide.
How could Jia Zhangshi not know the truth behind Qin Huairu's attentiveness? However, Jia Zhangshi understood that the Jia family really needed Sha Zhu's support at that time, otherwise it would be impossible for Banggeng to have a good meal.
However, even though she understood it, Jia Zhang still looked down on Sha Zhu in her heart.
He looked at Sha Zhu expressionlessly, then went back to the house silently without giving him any face.
"hey-hey."
Seeing Jia Zhang's actions, Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly.
"Shazhu, are you going to stay at home all day today?" Jia Dongsheng asked.
"Well, there's nothing to do today. I used to be able to help people prepare banquets for their weddings, but starting this year, there are fewer and fewer people preparing banquets, so I can only stay at home on my day off."
He nodded in understanding. This year has entered the third year of famine. It is not easy to have enough food to eat. Who has the spare money to prepare a banquet?
"How did you get so many fish? Did you go out shopping?"
Looking at the two buckets of fish on the ground, Sha Zhu thought that Fang Zhuo had gone out to buy some fish today because of what he said.
Thinking about this, Sha Zhu suddenly felt that he was a bit lazy. Jia Dongsheng earned more than him in a month, but he still worked so hard to purchase goods and make money. Does being a chef have to work so hard now?
"I didn't buy it. My uncle and I just went to Shichahai and caught it ourselves."
"Caught it?"
Sha Zhu was a little dumbfounded: "How can you catch so many fish?"
Seeing Sha Zhu's somewhat unconvinced expression, Jia Dongsheng said with a smile: "You can go ask Uncle San. He saw what I caught and will make one today. I will take the rest to the factory tomorrow."
"With so many fish, I think we can sell them for twenty or thirty. Dongsheng, I'll go with you when you go fishing next week."
What he thought was what he wanted, and Sha Zhu had already forgotten that he had never fished before.
"Okay, let's go together then."
While they were chatting with Sha Zhu, they heard a bustling sound from the front yard, which aroused their curiosity. They didn't know what was going on.
