The white fish belly in the east has not yet appeared, Mu Zhen followed her mother to prepare to set off to see the block, when she went out, Mu Zhen called Mu Bao twice, but Mu Bao didn't appreciate it, just "hum", and then turned her head to sleep, as if she could never wake up, Mu Zhen had to shake her head and said, "You just wait at home to cook the pot for a week!"

After the mother and mother went out, Mu Yan also got up early and cooked at home alone.

With the experience of the first two times, Xiuhua naturally changed the way and place of the barricade, and no longer had to go down to the waistless cold water to fish, but stood by the stream, pulled up the upper edge of the barricade with the hook bound to the bamboo pole, and dragged it from the water to the shore. Due to Xiuhua's increasing experience, today is not like two days ago to bring a bucket, but by Mu Zhen pushing a bicycle, bringing a fertilizer bag, Xiuhua is very skilled in pouring all the blocks, the fertilizer bag is so heavy that Mu Zhen can't lift it, it is estimated that it weighs seventy or eighty pounds, and the types of fish have also increased mullet, grass carp and other categories, so that Mu Zhen feels that his living expenses in school have fallen.

When the two returned home, Mu Yan had already made breakfast, Mu Bao was still asleep, Mu Zhen lay in Mu Bao's ear and shouted: "Quick, get up, lazy cat, go cook in a pot!"

Mu Bao rubbed his eyes, glared at Mu Zhen and asked, "Do you want me to catch fish?"

"Are you sleepy, are you dreaming of catching fish? We have all come back from the field, and if you lose your bet, you should go and boil the pot!" Mu Zhen said seriously.

"Don't lie to me, you haven't gone yet, how can you punish me for burning the pot?" Mu Bao said sarcastically.

"Is the bet you made with Mu Yan still count?" Mu Zhen knew that Mu Bao would not carry out as agreed, and asked deliberately.

"Count, it's just that you didn't call me twice when you went out, and you deliberately joined forces to play me!" Mu Bao said with a wink.

"It's purely a scoundrel, you can go and ask our mother, I called you a few times, you just can't get up, now complain about me not to say, and still use strong words, it's really lawless!" Mu Zhen said.

"I'm still lawless, what can you do?" Mu Bao replied with a stiff tone.

Mu Zhen saw that Mu Bao didn't admit it, so he lifted Mu Bao's quilt and scratched his ribs with his hand, Mu Bao couldn't help Mu Zhen's frolic, and shouted to Xiuhua, who was busy in the yard: "Mother, come and save me, see your son is bullying, do you care?"

"Anyway, I can't control you, who else can I control?" Xiuhua deliberately expressed her helplessness.

The two brothers were even more unrestrained.

After a while, I heard Xiuhua shouting in the courtyard: "Mu Zhen, come here, you push it with a bicycle, let's go to the town to sell fish, and then all the money in exchange will be used for your living expenses!"

Mu Zhen agreed, while pointing to Mu Bao, who was lying on the bed, and said, "You wait, if I come back from selling fish, and you haven't gotten up yet, I'll come back with you." ”

"I'm waiting for you to see how you can!" Mu Bao was still tough on his lips.

"If you have the ability, don't get up when I come back from town!" Mu Zhen turned around and added.

Mu Bao raised his head, grimaced at Mu Zhen who walked out of the door and whispered, "Xiaoyan, dare to fight with me, just wait, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" After speaking, he still wrapped the quilt tightly and fell asleep again.

Mu Zhen who followed his mother to Binhu Town, although he was no stranger to the environment here, but he had never come to this fish market so early, and he did not appear on this street as a seller, because of this, Mu Zhen was immediately full of freshness to everything here, facing the sun, looking at the antique archway at the entrance of the street, the red of the archway background was a little dazzling under the sun, the fresh fish morning market on both sides of the street was lined up on both sides, there were shops behind the merchants, and there were iron basins of various shapes holding water in front of them, which raised different varieties of freshwater fish, and the most attractive thing was that the merchants who loved to shout: "Take a walk and take a look, today's live fish just out of the lake are all fresh, not fresh and no money!"

Mu Zhen followed Xiuhua, found a corner under the archway to stand, Xiuhua took out a fertilizer bag from the pocket she was carrying, spread it on the ground smoothly, dragged the fish containing more than half of the bag from the bicycle pushed by Mu Zhen and poured a part of it on the fertilizer bag, the fish was still fresh, alive and jumping, the happiest fish, actually jumped, jumped to the outside of the fertilizer bag that was laid, Mu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, held down his head, and put it on the fertilizer bag with both hands.

As soon as Mu Zhen put it away, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walked over and pointed to the fish in front of Mu Zhen and asked, "How much is this fish a catty?"

"I don't know what the price is, so that's it, you can give a price!" Xiuhua responded, and then took out a hook scale from the cloth pocket she brought.

"Do you sell all the fish together?" the middle-aged man then asked.

"Hmm!" Xiuhua's brief response made the middle-aged man interested.

"That's two cents a pound!" the middle-aged man said, holding out two fingers.

"You're too good at buying things, I sold all this kind of crucian carp for two cents yesterday, and this one is better than yesterday's, and there is mullet, this price is a little too unfair!" Xiuhua said as she tore open the mouth of the fertilizer bag containing the fish for the middle-aged man to see.

"Then you say, I'll listen!" said the middle-aged man without looking closely.

"Well, if you want it all, then add five cents to a pound, and I'll give it all to you!" Xiuhua replied very dryly.

"Deal!" The middle-aged man was very happy and immediately agreed to Xiuhua's proposal.

After Xiuhua finished speaking, she shook the four corners of the fertilizer bag on the ground, hung the scale hook, weighed it, and shouted: "Twenty-two catties!"

Then he put down the fertilizer bag on the ground and hung up another unfallen fertilizer bag: "Forty-three pounds!"

"A total of sixty-five catties, a total of sixteen yuan, two cents and five!" Mu Zhen, who was standing on the side and watching, opened his mouth and reported.

"It's really faster than the abacus!" The middle-aged man admired Mu Zhen, and at the same time took out a small notebook, wrote down all the quantities and prices, took out the money and handed it to Xiuhua, he gave Xiuhua two ten-yuan bills, and signaled Xiuhua to find money for herself, Xiuhua forgot to bring money when she went out, so she could only beg the middle-aged man: "Look, brother, can you give this money just right, I don't have change!"

"Okay!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took out all the one-yuan change, quickly found sixteen, and then took out a five-corner note and handed it to Xiuhua.

Xiuhua took it and counted it, and was about to put it in her pocket, but the middle-aged man said, "I checked it wrong just now, I'll check it again!"

Xiuhua believed it, and handed all the sixteen one-yuan bills to the middle-aged man, who smiled and quickly clicked them, handed them to Xiuhua and said, "It's just right, I remembered it wrong!" After speaking, he lifted the fertilizer bag containing the fish on the ground and poured it into the pocket he was holding. Xiuhua took the money, but the middle-aged man didn't say a word, directly picked up the fish, got into the crowd, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Xiuhua felt a little strange, took out the money she had just ordered, and re-clicked it, but there were still fourteen tickets, Xiuhua wondered: "It was sixteen just now, why has it become fourteen now?"

Xiuhua touched the trouser pocket that contained the money just now, there was really nothing in the pocket, and then turned around to look at the ground around him, and did not find any missing money, and suddenly thought that the person took the money and checked the money for the second time It was quite fast, and the mistake could only be the second time the person counted the money, this is the trick that people often talk about, borrowed some money and took away two one-yuan bills, Xiuhua hurriedly chased in the direction where the middle-aged man disappeared, chased to the market, and did not see the figure of the middle-aged man, and returned to the place in amazement, looked at Mu Zhen who was in doubt, and said: "Let's go home!"

Mu Zhen nodded, pushed her bicycle out of the fresh fish market and embarked on the way home.
