206, fish

Lin Zichen's books had already moved back to the convenience store, and he walked on the road empty-handed, enjoying the sun gradually setting in the west.

Back at the convenience store, Lin Zichen unexpectedly saw Zhou Xiaojing and others.

"Zichen, why are you here?" Zhu Meiling asked in surprise.

Zhou Xiaojing rolled her eyes speechlessly and reminded Zhu Meiling: "Zichen lives in her aunt's house, and these two stores are opened by her aunt, didn't you ask Zichen to help you come here to buy pens before?" How did you forget. ”

Zhu Meiling patted her head, and suddenly remembered it and sighed embarrassedly.

Lin Zichen stepped forward with a smile, saw several people holding books in their hands, and asked, "What books have you all borrowed?" ”

Zhou Xiaojing happily raised the books in her hand, and Lin Zichen glanced at them, almost all of them were encyclopedic books.

Tang Hong obviously also saw the books borrowed by Zhou Xiaojing, pouted and said, "These are all books read by children." ”

Zhou Xiaojing snorted, these are not children's books, and they haven't learned a lot of things in the books now. Zhou Xiaojing only muttered a few times in her heart, and did not take Tang Hong's words to heart.

"You'd better hurry up and pick up, don't you have to rush home? Otherwise, if you miss it, you won't have a car back. Lin Zichen reminded a few people while cleaning up some books on the table that had not been put back on the shelves.

When Zhou Xiaojing heard this, they immediately remembered the importance of time and began to choose books in a panic.

Fortunately, most of the customers in the bookstore are here to borrow books, so they don't disturb the customers who read the books.

There are a lot of customers today, so Lin Zichen helped Li Xin register the borrowing record after cleaning up the table.

Zhou Xiaojing and the others were still struggling with what books to choose. Lin Zichen explained speechlessly: "Your vacation is only three days, and the teacher should have assigned you a lot of homework, so how can you have much time to read extracurricular books." It's also a lot of effort to take home if you borrow too much, so it's better to pick one or two books you like to take back, and pick other books when you come back. ”

Several people glanced at each other and reluctantly accepted Lin Zichen's proposal.

Zhou Xiaojing reluctantly picked out some of the books she was holding in her arms, and only took the two books she wanted to read the most and came to the counter to register.

Zhou Xiaojing and the others were the last to pick out the book, took the book and came to Lin Zichen, waiting for Lin Zichen to register.

Lin Zichen quickly made a qiē. Then the three of them were given a card, on which were printed a dozen squares, and the first square had already been stamped.

Tang Hong looked at the card in his hand curiously. Q: "What is this?" ”

Lin Zichen explained: "This is a point card, every time you borrow a book, you will stamp a stamp, and if you collect all the stamps on it, the bookstore will lend a book for you to read for free." The time limit is fifteen days. ”

"Wow. So good, then I want it too. Zhu Meiling shouted.

"You all have it, take it and go catch the car." Lin Zichen stuffed the card into the hands of the three of them, urging the three of them to go to the station to take the train quickly.

The three of them thanked Lin Zichen and rushed away with the book.

Li Xin watched a few people leave, and asked Lin Zichen curiously, "Xiao Chen." What was the loyalty card you were talking about? How did I not know? ”

Lin Zichen raised the card in his hand and said with a smile: "This card was also printed today." Originally, it was used at a convenience store, but after thinking about it, I decided to do such an event in a bookstore. ”

Li Xin took the card in Lin Zichen's hand and looked at it, although it was still printed on the white paper, Li Xin just felt that the pattern on it was very exquisite.

"Tell me how to use this card." Li Xin looked at Lin Zichen expectantly.

Aunt Chen from the convenience store also came over when she heard this, "I'll listen to it too." ”

Lin Zichen asked the two of them to sit down, picked up the card and said: "This kind of card has three colors, and the cards on each color have fifteen squares, and you can buy several kinds of goods designated by the bookstore or convenience store at half price by collecting the seals of fifteen squares, which specific kinds of goods and books, and then I will list them for you, and after the list, you will come out with an empty box to prepare to place this kind of goods, and the slogan on the table, so that customers will know that we are engaged in this kind of activity." ”

"Got it." Li Xin and Aunt Chen both nodded in surprise.

Lin Zichen continued to explain: "If someone collects all the cards of the three colors, they can choose one of the goods I listed for free. ”

"Will this be a loss?" Li Xin asked worriedly.

Lin Zichen shook his head and said, "It's up to us to decide which goods can be obtained at half price or for free, so are we stupid enough to list the most expensive things in the store?" ”

When Li Xin and Aunt Chen heard this, their hearts suddenly understood and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you guys keep busy, I'll go cook." Lin Zichen got up and went into the kitchen, and the moment he entered the kitchen, he poked out a small head and said to the two of them: "Aunt Li, Aunt Chen, you two have made a list of books and things that few people buy in bookstores and convenience stores, and I will be useful." ”

Li Xin and Aunt Chen were stunned, looked at the card in their hands, and probably understood what Lin Zichen was going to do.

So the two of them responded heartily.

The two of them picked up a pen and paper and sat at the door, making a list while looking at the store. Li Xin is okay, she went to junior high school and writes well, but Aunt Chen's elementary school is only in the second grade, and now most people write simplified characters, and Aunt Chen can't read a few words.

Although Aunt Chen and Li Xin are friends, the age difference between the two is more than ten years, and the two can become friends because the two used to do odd jobs in a small workshop in Pinghe County, and they usually met when they got closer.

Lin Zichen knew that Aunt Chen was not very literate, so he asked Li Xin to teach Aunt Chen when she had free time, and so far, Aunt Chen has been able to write some commonly used words very well, especially the names related to convenience store products, which are firmly in mind.

Lin Zichen looked at the only vegetables in the kitchen, thought about it, and took out a fish from the space.

This fish was caught and put into the space when I went to the secret realm before, and it was raised for a few months, and the growth was gratifying, and the small one reached seven or eight catties, not to mention the big one.

What makes Lin Zichen happiest is that many of the fish he caught are females, and they start spawning after more than a month. In addition to the nest of soft-shelled turtles in the pond of the space now, the most fish are the most.

Lin Zichen entered the space, pulled up his pants and went into the lotus pond. I finally took a fancy to one of the small fish of about two catties.

Lin Zichen wrapped his waist around his waist and quietly approached the fish. But the fish in the lotus pond have been staying in the aura-like spring water for a long time, and their perception of danger is also amazingly sensitive.

Lin Zichen tried to catch it several times but was unsuccessful.

"I'm so angry, you wait for me." Lin Zichen walked out of the lotus pond, turned around and entered the wooden house, and came out with an extra net bag in his hand.

This time, Lin Zichen learned to be obedient and did not go down the lotus pond. Instead, he stood on the shore and stared at the fish closely.

Watching the beautiful little fish slowly swim towards him, Lin Zichen laughed silently.

Holding the stick of the net with both hands, his eyes staring unblinking.

It's close. It's close.

With a "bang", Lin Zichen quickly got off the net, and when he scooped it up, there was already a live fish in his net pocket.

"You can't escape now." poked Xiaoyu's belly, and Lin Zichen happily walked out of the space.

Live fish bouncing around is very difficult to kill. Lin Zichen took a bottle of cooking wine from the convenience store and poured it into the basin. Then throw the whole fish into the wine bowl.

I don't know if this method will work, but if it doesn't work, I can only kill the fish after Li Ji comes back.

After waiting for a few minutes, the fish began to turn its belly, Lin Zichen nodded with satisfaction, caught the fish and quickly opened his belly, removed his cheeks, and made a few cuts on the fish and put it aside for later use.

After processing the fish, Lin Zichen began to prepare condiments. Pick up a piece of ginger, wash it, slice it, and put part of it in the fish maw. One part is placed on the bottom of the plate, and the rest is shredded.

The ginger is cut. Then chop the green onion, sprinkle both on the fish, and pour in some light soy sauce.

After doing this, the water in the pot is also boiling, open the lid, put it in the rack, put the fish in the pot, and start steaming.

The fish was already steamed, and Lin Zichen began to prepare other vegetarian dishes.

When Li Ji returned, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a faint smell of fish, which caused him to enter the kitchen with a change of pace.

"Hmm, it smells so good!" Li Ji took a few deep breaths, "Where did the fish come from?" ”

"Bought it." Lin Zichen's tone was a little stiff, and the movements in his hands were still unabated, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"Help tidy up the exam room." Li Ji reached out to open the lid of the pot, but Lin Zichen knocked on the back of his hand with chopsticks, so frightened that Li Ji hurriedly retracted his hand.

"The fish is not cooked yet, what are you in a hurry?" Glaring at Li Ji, Lin Zichen turned around and drove him out of the kitchen.

Li Ji leaned against the door infinitely aggrieved, staring at the fish in the pot.

Lin Zichen turned his back to Li Ji, he couldn't see Li Ji's eyes at all, and said about the fish fishing in Pingfu High School while stir-frying, "In order to encourage students to go all out for the college entrance examination, our school has provided students with free fish to eat in the past two days, what does your school have?" ”

When Li Ji heard this, his eyes widened with envy, thinking that he had been arrested and used as a coolie for an afternoon, and his heart was even more aggrieved, "How can our school be as rich as your school, and we senior high school students have to sort out the examination room, which makes us tired half to death." ”

"Isn't it, isn't it up to the freshmen and sophomores to tidy up the exam room? Why are you here? Lin Zichen asked strangely.

Li Ji explained: "As soon as the students in the first and second years of high school heard that they had three days off, they slipped away as soon as the bell rang after class, and in the end we still had to do it ourselves. ”

Lin Zichen looked at Li Ji with a look of resentment, and couldn't help but laugh.

Look at the time, the fish in the pot should be cooked, Lin Zichen took a square towel, put it under the plate and brought out the fish, took a pair of chopsticks and pinched the fish body, opened it and saw that it was already cooked.

"Come, see you clean up the examination room for the whole afternoon, this fish will give you a bite first." Lin Zichen took a chopstick fish and sent it to Li Ji's mouth.

Li Ji blew and took the fish into his mouth.

"Watch out for fish bones." Lin Zichen reminded him and began to serve dishes and chopsticks to prepare for dinner.

The early summer night comes late, and when the food is served, the night slowly falls.

"Aunt Chen, Aunt Li, come over for dinner first." Lin Zichen greeted the two who were still on the list. (To be continued......)
