"Haha, I didn't expect this young man to have such high quality! It's fate that I met you today, but I don't want the fish. Just give me some of your bait!”
When Li Senlin heard this, he knew that an expert would be able to tell if there was anything. He could also see his own way.
"Alright, it's fate that we met. I'll give you the rest of the bait!”After saying that, Li Senlin gave the rest of the bait to the old man.
She turned around and got on the bike before leaving under the gazes of the group of people.
The old man was preparing to move his position to Li Senlin's side. He thought that since he had his bait and was still in his position, he would definitely gain a lot today.
Who knew that someone had already taken a seat with quick reflexes. When he did so, the people beside him were unhappy.
"Get up!" a young man said angrily.
"First come, first served, do you understand?" The person who sat down ignored him and even threw the fishing rod out.
"I understand your ancestors!" The young man kicked the bucket away.
Then, he pulled the person who was fishing to the side and started to attack without any explanation…
He thought that if he went back, A Bucket of Fish would be too big of a target. The beasts in the courtyard would definitely have their own ideas.
Li Senlin wanted to go to the black market to get rid of it.
The black market, as the name suggested, was a trading market, but it only opened at night. The merchants and customers inside all came out at midnight and dispersed at dawn. Gu Ming was the " black market."
In the early years, when the policy forbade business, the residents of the city were rationed. However, some families would inevitably have gaps.
The black market was born under such circumstances. From daily necessities to the bills needed for exchange, everything could be found here. However, the price was naturally several times more expensive than the places outside.
In the beginning, the police station had suppressed it for a period of time, but this kind of thing was not uncommon. Therefore, the leaders turned a blind eye to it unless it was a big deal.
After Li Senlin gave a fish to the guard, the guard waved his hand and he walked in openly.
He found a good seat. It was not night yet, so there were not many people.
He placed his bucket in front of the bicycle.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his fish were big and of good quality. After a while, someone asked.
"Little brother, how much is this fish?”
"I'm lucky today. This fish is 50 cents per fish!”Li Senlin began to shout.
"50 cents, isn't that a little expensive? An old hen is only 1.20 yuan.”The people watching the fish began to bargain.
"1.20 yuan is the price in the shop. You still need a meat ticket! An old hen here costs at least three yuan, and this is cheap!”
Li Senlin saw that this person was trying to fool him and hurriedly said.
"Is this fish fresh?" An old lady asked.
"Auntie, have you seen my fishing rod? It was fresh, caught in the afternoon! I'm lucky today. I want to exchange some money for dumplings for my grandmother!”
As soon as he said this, everyone started discussing.
"That's right, that's right. Look, he already has a bicycle. He definitely won't lie.”
"Yeah, look at this fish. It's still moving. How can it be fake?”
......
"Young man, you are so filial. I believe you. I will buy one first!”The aunt took out the money as she spoke.
"Me too, give me two!"
"I don't have money. I have food stamps. Can I exchange them for fish?”A middle-aged woman in plain clothes was holding a food ticket in her hand.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Senlin took the food stamps with one hand and wrapped the fish with something for them with the other.
He had thought that he would have to wait until midnight to sell all the fish, but who knew that he would be sold out in less than an hour.
He counted the bills. Although it was not much, he was very happy. In the future, he would have a legitimate reason for the system to sign in and give him something.
Otherwise, someone in the courtyard house might be jealous and report you.
On the other side, Uncle Zhang, who was picking up trash, returned to the courtyard house with a fish in his hand.
Third Uncle was wiping his bicycle in the yard. He glanced at the tattered Zhang and was stunned when he saw the fish in his hand.
"Rubbish Zhang, is that a fish in your hand?”
Ever since Old Zhang came back from the factory, he hadn't had a proper job and had been picking up trash all day.
Therefore, Third Uncle looked down on him and picked up trash all day long. He called him "Trash Zhang" and "Trash Zhang".
"Yes, I am!" Uncle Zhang got a fish out of thin air today and was very happy.
"You picked up a gold ingot? You still have money to buy fish?"
Other people might not know about the situation of the tattered Zhang family, but Third Uncle knew about it. His wife was sick, and his child was a head lower than his peers because of poverty and malnutrition.
If he had the money to buy fish, Third Uncle felt that the sun would rise from the west.
"You won't believe me even if I tell you. What happened to me today was better than picking up a gold ingot. This fish was given to me by Li Senlin!”
Hearing his words, Third Uncle's face was filled with disbelief.
"Come on, him? It's his first time fishing, and it's already good enough that he caught it. Why did he return it to you?”
"Look, you can't judge a book by its cover. Let me tell you, he caught a bucket full of fish today!”
Then, the tattered Zhang told him what he had seen and heard by the lake.
When it came to Li Senlin's departure, there were still people fighting for his position.
Third Aunt said in disbelief,""Did he really catch a fish?”
"Hey! When he comes back later, won't you know?”Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, walked over from the middle court with a big belly and said.
"That's right, that's right. You guys continue. I'm going home to make fish soup!" The tattered Zhang whistled as he walked home proudly.
Third Uncle was envious.
"If that's the case, he should give our family a fish today! The fishing rod he used was ours!”Yan Jiefang said unhappily. He also wanted to eat fish.
Although they had eggs and steamed buns for lunch, how could eggs compare to the taste of fish? Stewed fish meat was very fresh!
"That's right, that's right. He already gave it to tattered Zhang, so why can't he give our family a fish?”Third Aunt also had a face full of regret.
"Alright, I'll wait for him here today. If he's really as powerful as tattered Zhang says, he'll give our family one no matter what!”
Third Uncle said seriously.
"Third Uncle, I agree with you. Let's take a look together. It's said that when you drink water, you don't forget the person who dug the well. If Li Senlin doesn't do things properly, I'll be the first to disagree!”
Xu Damao was also a little guilty at the moment. He remembered the oath he made at Third Uncle's house at noon.
It was a cold day. Although it was so cold outside that Third Uncle was as cold as a grandson, he endured it for the sake of eating fish!
After a while, Li Senlin came back on his bicycle.
Third Uncle hurriedly went up to take a look. There was not a single fish in the bucket.
He smiled and took the fishing rod." I knew you were bragging. How can your first time fishing be so amazing?!"”
He took the fishing rod with one hand and the bicycle with the other. How would he know that Li Senlin had exchanged the fish for money and food stamps and kept them in his pants?
At this moment, Second Uncle and Yan Jiecheng also walked out of the house.
Li Senlin didn't know that a fierce bet had taken place in his yard.
Then, Third Uncle saw the result he wanted and looked at everyone with a relaxed smile.
