Text Chapter 238 Sky-high goldfish
After getting out of the taxi, I carefully held a plastic water bag in both hands, walked slowly to the door of the front door courtyard step by step, stretched out my legs and kicked open the oil wood door, the door was not locked, my parents and the ministry Yue'e went to work, only the Wenzhou couple who sold shoes in the courtyard were drying the box, I nodded to them and said hello, without chatting a word, I turned around and went to my own hut, put the vermilion purple robe on the desk, and immediately turned over the box and turned the cabinet upside down.

After a while, a small wooden basin, a few small fishing nets and a heating rod were tossed out by me.
Washed it. After filling the wooden basin with water, I squatted under the sun in the courtyard, tested the temperature of the water with my fingers, and then put the whole water bag containing the vermilion robe into the wooden basin and soaked. In fact, the temperature of the water in the bag and the basin is not too different, but for the sake of insurance, I still chose the safest method. After all, it was the famous Vermilion Purple Robe, not a small broken goldfish for a few dollars.
Adapt to the water temperature, catch fish, put bait, control the temperature, inject oxygen, and fiddle with the method taught to me by Aunt Gu, half an hour later. The two vermilion-topped purple robes were already jumping alive in the water. After observing for a while, I didn't see anything wrong with the two goldfish in an unfamiliar environment. I breathed a sigh of relief, unplugged the offering equipment that had been removed from my fish tank, and I went back to the house with the tub in my arms, opened the curtains, and lowered it into the sun.
Looking at the watch on the wall, it was ten o'clock.
I didn't have time to eat at noon, and now when I'm free, my stomach starts to rumble. Busy washing my hands in front of the sink in the middle of the courtyard, I simply took a bowl of rice from the refrigerator that I don't know how long it was left, smelled it, and smelled, yes. Not rancid. I went to the kitchen and broke two eggs, and copied out a bowl of fried rice with eggs to fill my stomach.
Bell bell bell. The phone rang.
I burped and leaned back on the bed in the hut: "Hello? ”
"It's me. Good nephew, where is it? It was the coquettish voice of the Ministry of Yue'e: "Are you done?"
I said, "It's over, I'm back to the front door." What's the matter, what time do you get home at night?
"Hehe, I probably won't go back to eat today. I made an appointment with Wanru and Sister Yuan, everyone plans to have some snacks with Wangfujing, and then go to New Oriental to see clothes and shoes and the like, well, Yanyan seems to be going too, if she wants to come, she will definitely pull Mansha, so, I will let you know. By the way, my parents called on the Internet and said that I would go to your grandma's house for dinner in the evening, and I would have to go back later. "The five of them got together again? I sighed, "You've only known each other for a long time, why is the relationship so good?" ”
The aunt on the other end of the phone laughed deliciously: "This is called a kiss at first sight, can't you?" ”
I said, "It's not that it can't work, it's just" Oh, it's okay, it's okay, then don't come back too late in the evening, I'll wait for you." ”
"Well, I'm still a little busy here, so I'll hang up the line first
Putting down my phone, I slapped my head at the window with tears and laughter, and my heart was in a mess. He suppressed his impatience again, exhaled, stopped thinking about it for the time being, and focused all his attention on the pair of vermilion purple robes, although the two goldfish seemed to be nothing serious, but they still needed to be observed for a while to avoid accidents.
It was about six o'clock.
The two vermilion-crowned purple robes were still alive. There were no changes that caught me off guard.
I nodded with satisfaction, leaned on the computer table, took out my mobile phone, and began to flip through the phone book, ready to contact the buyer and sell the vermilion purple robe as soon as possible before going to Shaanxi Province. First, I want to find out the market value of these high-end goldfish, and second, I am not allowed to leave for many days, and no one takes care of them.
I first gave my waist a call, "and then my uncle called one, until I contacted five or six relatives and friends, and no one knew any experts who knew goldfish, let alone people who were willing to spend money to buy fish, I had no choice but to trouble Yan Wanru again, she has a wide range of people." It should be fine.
"Hey, Sister Yan, I'm Gu Jing."
"Oh, wait a minute, I can't hear her messy head clearly, many people are talking, I can vaguely hear the shouting of old Beijing, it seems that she is eating in the snack street, a few seconds later, Yan Wanru's low voice rang on the other end of the phone: "What call me, your wife was next to me just now, I don't know if she saw it, it's true." ”
I sweated: "I know you guys are going to Wangfujing together, I have something to do." ”
Yan Wanru said angrily: "Whew." Earlier. What's the matter? ”
I said, "I took two good goldfish and want to sell them, do you know anyone about this?" Can I get in touch? ”
"Goldfish? I really don't understand this, you go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to have a look, isn't there to collect fish? ”
"I have a good variety of goldfish, they don't expect to accept it there, and besides, I'm afraid that I will lose money. I don't know exactly how much the fish is worth. ”
"Oh, that's it, then you wait for the call, I know a vice president of the Beijing Goldfish Association, he has a lot of fish at home, although I don't know if I can see your goldfish, but it's okay to help estimate the price, I'll tell him." Wait a while, let Lao Cao call you, and then you can contact yourself. ”
"Okay, thank you very much
After waiting for about five or six minutes, an unknown number popped up on the phone, which should be the old Cao that Yan Wanru said.
"Hey, you're Gu Jing, right?" It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
I said, "Yes, hello President Cao, Sister Yan told you?" That's right, I have two kills of fish that I can't get the price, and I want you to estimate the price and add hemp to you
You're welcome, young man, let's make an appointment? ”
"When do you think you're free?"
"Well, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I may have to go to the field to do some errands, or tonight, and I'll go over when I have dinner, where do you live?" I'm looking for you. ”
"Don't, what's so embarrassing, I'll go to your house."
"Hehe, it's okay, the goldfish is squeamish. You run around with it, maybe it will get sick, tell me the address. ”
I knew that people were purely looking at Yan Wanru's face, and after thanking him again and again, I gave him the address.
Put down the phone, it was already dark, since my parents and aunts didn't go home for dinner. I ordered some noodles, made up for two more meals, and then went back to the hut, staring at the vermilion purple robe in a daze, and the dark purple figure made me like it more and more.
At about 7:40, there was a knock at the courtyard gate, and the footsteps gradually approached.
I got up and walked over and pushed the door to see that my parents were back, and my mother saw me and was stunned for a moment: "When are you going home?" ”
"Afternoon." I smiled and pointed to the house: "I bought two fish, you two can take a look?" ”
"What fish?" My mother frowned unhappily: "Spending money again!" ”
I turned sideways and let my parents in. "It's not much money, two are only two thousand five, hehe, this is a vermilion top purple robe, not an ordinary goldfish, what's the matter? Pretty, right? ”
"Pretty fart!" When my mother heard the two thousand five, her eyes widened: "The broken fish is made of gold!" Two thousand five? How do you look like a stupid hat! A few days ago, my mother saw a goldfish seller at the door of the vegetable market, and the most expensive one was only ten yuan! You can get it for a little less than five cents! You stupid hat! ”
I rolled my eyes speechlessly, "This fish is not the same as the one you see." ”
Mom looked down at the goldfish in the wooden basin. Qi said: "Isn't it just a little purple, what's different?" "Say it. The old mother also kicked the basin with her foot, and suddenly, the two purple goldfish were frightened. Squeaky squeaked through the water, "Hey, that's pretty good." "Mom is happy.
"What are you doing! Don't kick! I obeyed her, anxiously dragged my mother aside, and then squatted in front of the basin and said softly: "Good" is not afraid of "not afraid" is okay "It's okay" to "good" Seeing the fish's mood slowly stabilized, I turned around and glared at my mother: "Don't fool around, this fish is expensive." ”
"Jin Gui is a fart!" Mom kicked me lightly in the ass: "I think you're just idle!" ”
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?" In the courtyard, Zou Yue's voice slowly drifted into the house, and with the clattering of high heels, but in a moment, the bewitching figure of the aunt appeared at the door, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were glowing with a charming charm, and the smell of wine all over her body couldn't stop coming.
Dad frowned: "Drink so much again?" How many taels? ”
Bu Yue'e smiled and put the bag on the bed. "Less than a pound."
Mom smashed her mouth: "Your dad only drinks two or three taels, you lose a pound at once?" Is it okay to drink less? What's so good about this wine? ”
I hurriedly asked her to explain: "Yue'e has a party, and she can't drink it if she wants to." ”
The old mother sighed, and her face softened slightly: "I'll say it first, if you plan to have a child, Yue'e, you have to quit drinking half a year in advance." Otherwise, it will affect the child's health, which is not a joke. ”
Ministry Yue'e nodded: "I know Mom." ”
I remembered an incident, and suddenly said: "By the way, while you are here, there is a matter, well, I am going to go to Xi'an in two days, I don't know when I will come back, if it is fast, it will be two or three days, and if it is slow, it will be five or six days." "This is what I have planned for a long time, as long as the Vermilion Purple Robe can be sold smoothly, I will set off.
Mom's face was not very good-looking: "It's far away." Why don't you go to school and run to Shaanxi Province? ”
I said: "Of course, in order to make money, I am dissatisfied with the world, how can I have the money to send it to my door, you can rest assured, there is no problem with the school, and you can not delay anything if you pass the exam." ”
Mom snorted: "Your wings are hard now, and I don't bother to care about you." ”
Bu Yue'e took a sip of tea with her mouth sip, took my mother's hand and sat on the bed with her, "What's so fun in Xi'an?" ”
I said, "I haven't been, I don't know." What's wrong? ”
Bu Yue'e looked at me and put the cup down, "Sister Yuan and I are discussing where to travel this weekend, and Wanru and Mansha also agreed. Well, if Xi'an is good, let's go over and have a look, you are alone, and you are not familiar with life, and I am not at ease.
Dad nodded and said, "You guys go together, be down-to-earth, and take care of it on the road." ”
I didn't want to wave my hand and said: "Don't, let's go our own way, you are traveling, I am doing business, not all the way, besides, I may set off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I can't wait for the weekend." "Although it is a wonderful thing to be accompanied by five beautiful women, the invisible sword light and sword shadow is enough to discourage me.
Bu Yue'e shrugged indifferently: "Whatever." I'll talk to them about it when the time comes. My mother looked at me and said, "What are you doing in Xi'an?" Antiques again? ”
"It's not." I pointed to the wooden basin on the ground, "I'm going to collect some goldfish, and if it goes well, I'll sell it locally, and if it doesn't go well, I'll bring it back to Beijing." ”
Mom's eyes widened: "Why did you think of tinkering with this broken fish again?" How many dollars is this one worth? Didn't you learn an antique from Mr. Yan? Get more Yuan Qinghua or something to take it back! Not more than broken
, her mouth was torn. Listen to my depressive all of them, six"※
Hearing this, Bu Yue'e sneered and cocked Erlang's legs, "Mom, there are not many pieces in the world that Yuan Qinghua can get last time, and he has already hit the luck, how easy is it?" Hehe, if he likes to play with fish, let him play, maybe it's also a way to make a fortune. ”
The old mother glanced at her daughter-in-law: "You are facing him."
Dad pointed to the wooden basin: "This purple fish is really worth two thousand and five?"
"Two thousand five?" Ministry Yue'e was stunned: "So expensive? Aren't goldfish quite cheap? How is it more expensive than tropical fish? ”
Mom hummed and chirped, "Ask your husband." He can treat that broken fish as a baby, he won't do it when the old lady kicks it, and he still glares at me! ”
I snorted: "The fruits of my morning's labor have been given by you?" I got this fish from someone because I wore out my mouth, and it was a shame that the aunt didn't know how to do it, otherwise, if you change someone who gets a little goldfish, let alone two thousand five. Twenty-five thousand can't sell me, you don't understand. My mother glanced at me: "Blow, blow big." ”
Bu Yue'e was also very disapproving, squatting in front of the basin and dragging her chin to take a look: "Except for the color is a little purple, the head is a little fatter, and the body is a little longer, don't you see anything special?" "I'm going. Isn't that enough? How else could you be special? If it really has three heads and six arms, is it still a goldfish? That's a goblin!
Squeak, there was a clear sound at the courtyard door, and then, a man spoke: "This is Gu Jing's family, right?" ”
I was overjoyed, and told my parents that this was the vice president of the Beijing Goldfish Association, and then immediately got up and greeted him: "President Cao, hello, I'm really sorry to let you go all the way, come, come into the house and have a cup of tea." "I'm ready to ask him about how to value high-end goldfish, so I'm very polite.
President Cao was a tall, thin middle-aged man. Inch head, looks quite energetic.
My parents and Bu Yue'e also came out of the hut at this time and greeted him one after another, and then, because the hut was a bit shabby and not suitable for receiving guests, several of us went to my mother's house, and Bu Yue'e consciously grabbed the best tea leaves in the house, made a pot of tea, and poured him a cup.
"I'll do it myself." Chairman Cao pushed it off. In the end, he still held the cup and let Bu Yue'e pour water, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Wanru and I are not outsiders, you are welcome." ”
My mother glared at me and said to President Cao: "This kid is really, in fact, he bought two broken fish, and when he goes home, he has to think that he has picked up a treasure. ”
I said depressedly, "Mom, can you stop breaking every fish?" ”
President Cao smiled: "Actually, the fish is not expensive, the key depends on your appetite, right." Where are the fish? Let me see? ”
My mother said, "In the hut, just those two fish." This stupid boy spent two thousand and a half.
President Cao said, "Yo, it's not cheap." ”
"Isn't it, my mother glanced at me stupidly: "This money, how many catties of carp can I buy, enough for our family to eat for a year."
I didn't even look at my mom and took the first step. Took President Cao out of the house.
President Cao said casually, "Where did you buy it?" At the fish market? ”
I replied, "No, after receiving it from someone's family, my parents and Bu Yue'e also followed slowly."
Pushing open the door of the hut, I turned to one side and pointed to the wooden basin with the electric rod on the ground: "These are the two." ”
Chairman Cao nodded and walked closer. Looking down at the basin, the faint smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly condensed, his face was shocked, and he blurted out incredulously: "Vermilion Purple Robe!?" Chairman Cao's expression was a little confused, and he blinked his eyes, and he bent down and squatted down with a high spirit. stared at the two fish over and over again, and at the end, he took a deep breath of cold air: "It's really a vermilion top purple robe, it's still the best!" ”
Mom leaned over: "This broken fish is very famous?" small
President Cao's feet shook, and he almost didn't stand firm. After a while, he turned back with a wry smile: "Eldest sister, this is not a broken fish, the Vermilion Purple Robe, especially the best Vermilion Purple Robe, which is known as the rarest species in the world, in the goldfish market, this is a first-class noble fish."
Bu Yue'e was a little incredulous: "You mean." My husband's two thousand five didn't buy a loss?.
"It's only two thousand five? That's a big bargain! President Xiao Cao looked at me a little excitedly: "Young man, sell me this fish, don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you, huh." I looked again, and then I saw that he seemed to be a few years younger, and he looked around the tub and said "yes" vigorously.
The old mother and the ministry looked at each other blankly, and at the end, the old mother spoke: "President Cao, how much is this purple robe fish worth?" small
Chairman Cao said to himself: "Well, the eyes are fine, the tail is good, and the color is pure, how much is it?" "He thought about it, there are tens of thousands of ordinary vermilion purple robes, and it depends on the character of the fish, this pair of superb vermilion purple robes, well, make up a whole, one million."
"A million!?" Not only my parents and Bu Yue'e, but even I was shocked!
On my trip to Xi'an, my goal is to collect hundreds of goldfish of the same grade in the vermilion purple robe, just two are one million, how much do you get for one hundred?
I can't even think about it!
