Duan Xiang and Duan Hao were holding big fishing nets in the water, and the two of them, one south and one north, were almost in the deep water area.

At first, they could only put their heads out of the water, but the water level dropped imperceptibly, and gradually they could see their shoulders.

The nets became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that the nets had caught a lot of things. The network cable is getting tighter and tighter, and Duan Hao and Duan Xiang's hands are getting more and more difficult.

"Haozi, I think it's about the same, come over quickly!" After Duan Xiang greeted Duan Hao, he thought about trying to prevent the fish that had gone down the river from running away in the net, so he pointed to the direction of the countercurrent and said, "Come over there." ”

Duan Hao pulled the net with one hand and paddled with the other, swimming diagonally diagonally along the direction of the countercurrent.

When the two of them reached the shore, they pulled the fishing net to the shore with all their might. The nets were pulled into the shallow waters, and dozens of fish, large and small, could be seen struggling in the nets.

Seeing the bumper harvest, both of them were happy. I don't know where a wave of energy came up again, and they simply dragged the fishing net ashore in one go.

And then—

And then everyone around was dumbfounded!

Accidents, accidents have arisen -

A behemoth appeared in the fishing net, and it was actually a big herring of about 100 catties, comparable to the size and weight of an adult!

The first to react was Duan Hao, who was crazy, jumped into the water again, and hugged the herring fish directly through the fishing net.

Many people came to watch, and even the people on the south bank of the Honghe River stretched out their heads to look this way.

Duan Xiang was excited, but he was still reasonable.

There were so many people around, adults and children, that the blocked water was impassable, and the people outside were about to squeeze the innermost people into the river.

This is not going to work, he kept waving his hand to the people behind him, "You don't hurry up and catch fish, maybe there will be a lot in the river!" ”

Some people were so excited that they didn't want to join in the fun, so they quickly picked up their fishing nets and found a place to catch fish.

Duan Xiang drove the people away in order to make room for himself and get the fishing nets out of the water.

He saw that Duan Hao was holding the big herring and didn't let it go, and he couldn't help but be angry, anxious and funny. "It's still hugging, it's not your daughter-in-law, you can still hold it to sleep!"

Duan Hao really has a bit of this meaning.

"Uncle Xiangzi, just pick up the little fish in the net, and let this herring fish be in the net." Parsley was also a little excited, today's luck was not ordinarily good.

"It's a herring." Duan Xiang only knew the species of this fish.

"Put it in a fishing net and let it lie down by the water's edge. It is far more valuable to be alive than it is to be dead. Parsley's eyebrows danced.

Duan Xiang couldn't help but wonder, what is the value of this fish besides being edible?

At that moment, a man on the other side of the river shouted, "Young man, do you sell that fish?" ”

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man forty miles away waving to this side. I was too far away to see his human appearance clearly, and I saw the golden embroidery thread on the smooth and bright black and brown satin cotton jacket on his body, which was particularly dazzling.

Duan Yongyuan put the other small fish in the fishing net into the bucket one by one. Hearing someone shouting across the river, he stopped and looked up.

Duan Hao was still holding the herring fish in the water, so he ran to bite through the fishing net and escaped. He thought that this fish could be more than 110 catties, even if it was calculated by two catties, it would not sell for much money, and it would only be two or three hundred to die.

Duan Hao said: "Don't sell it, take it back and eat it."

Duan Xiang was a little hesitant, no matter whether it was big or small, it was all the same. However, this 100-pound big herring should be considered a rare thing, maybe it can really be sold for a good price!

Thinking of this, Duan Xiang made a decision, "I'll ask him what price he can offer first......

Before his words fell, Xiangqin pressed his arm, "Don't worry, let him come and negotiate with us!" ”

For Duan Xiang, the words of parsley are more effective than the old queen mother's edict!

He didn't hesitate any longer, and waved at the middle-aged man on the other side of the river, "If you want, you can come here." ”

"Then you wait for me for a while!" The middle-aged man climbed the river embankment and soon disappeared.

Duan Xiang had noticed just now that Parsley seemed to know that this big herring was valuable.

"Parsley, how much can this fish sell for?" As soon as Duan Xiang asked, he saw that Parsley gave him a look. He immediately understood, glanced at the people around him, and then patted Ermao, who was hooking his head to look at the herring, "Ermao, you go and drive away those people you don't know, it's annoying!" ”

Ermao immediately showed his true colors like a ruffian ‖, beckoned the others in Duanjiazhuang, and drove the surrounding people who watched the excitement away one by one.

"It's all my own people, so let's talk about it now." Duan Xiang couldn't wait to urge Parsley.

Even if there were no people from other villages and villages, Xiangqin still seemed very cautious, and reported the number in a low voice, "Two thousand five." ”

"Two-" Before Duan Hao could finish screaming, he was splashed with a handful of water by Duan Yongyuan. He originally wanted to pick up a fish and throw it in Duan Hao's face, but he was reluctant.

Xiangqin listened to Duan Xiang take a deep breath, and repeated: "The minimum is two thousand five, and one less point will not be sold!"

No wonder Parsley would have said before that the fish is far more valuable alive than it is dead. Duan Xiang didn't expect that it would be such a value!

What is the concept of two thousand five, no matter whether Duan Xiang sells bean sprouts for a year, or Duan Yongyuan sells hot tofu for a year, he can't earn it back!

That is also equivalent to Duan Hao's salary for three or four years!

So, after Duan Hao heard that number, could he not shout out excitedly?

"The price is so high, does anyone want it?" Duan Yongyuan was beating a drum in his heart.

"Someone must want this herring to be put in a big hotel and make a whole fish feast, that's a thousand dollars!" The hotel that Xiangqin said is the big hotel opened by Hong Cheng's family. Before she was reborn, she went to the restaurant to see the menu. Although she doesn't know much, is it possible that she can't count yet? That whole fish feast was priced at more than 5,000! She's not greedy, and she's just selling this live fish for almost half the price.

There are still a lot of people who eat the whole fish feast, but because the price is too high, the people who eat it go in groups, and then the price is divided equally among everyone's heads, so it doesn't seem so expensive.

"What if the person on the other side of the river just now can't give so much money?" Duan Hao asked stupidly.

There is also a process of raising pigs by selling pork!

Duan Xiang rolled his eyes, "Then we can raise it ourselves!" ”

"You and Haozi brought this fish together, you two should discuss how to divide the money." Parsley said with a smile.

"No need to discuss, if you can really sell it for two thousand and five, then I will be one thousand, Haozi will be one thousand, and you will be five hundred parsley." Duan Xiang already had an abacus in his heart, "Haozi, do you agree?" ”

Duan Hao nodded wildly, and said several times: "Agree, agree, agree—"

Duan Xiang laughed with satisfaction, if the money was only divided between Duan Xiang and Duan Hao, he would be the first to stand up and say that he was unwilling! Although this matter has nothing to do with him, it has a lot to do with parsley! If it hadn't been for Parsley yesterday, they wouldn't have come to catch fish on the banks of the Hong River!

There is a saying that "no merit is not a matter of merit", and Xiangqin has merit and merit in this matter, so she deservedly accepted the five hundred yuan, so she didn't push Duan Xiang around.

More than half an hour later, on the embankment north of the Honghe River, a small truck came from the west side and stopped behind a row of tricycles. Those tricycles were basically ridden by people from Duanjiazhuang.

The middle-aged man who had said he wanted to buy fish on the other side of the river got off the small truck and waved to Duan Xiang and them at the bottom of the embankment, "Young man, I'm coming!" ”

Duan Xiang also waved at the other party in response, he was worried that he would not be able to talk alone, so he called Xiangqin as well. Before the two of them went up to the river embankment, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Duan Hao, "You have to hold on, don't let more than 2,000 yuan go to waste!" ”

When she arrived at the riverbank and came face to face with the middle-aged man, Parsley couldn't help but be stunned. Before, across a river, far away, Parsley couldn't see each other's appearance clearly. At this time, she could even see the black mole on the other party's lower lip clearly, but she didn't expect this person to be Hong Cheng's father Hong Fu!

What a surprise!

Duan Xiang also felt very surprised when he saw Hong Cheng get off the truck. Before he could say hello, he saw that Hong Cheng didn't even look at him, but only called out happily to the person next to him, "Parsley!" ”

Duan Xiang was speechless, and the thin and petite parsley rested next to him, such a burly and strong person, as small as a little sheep next to an elephant. He couldn't figure it out, how did Hong Cheng ignore him as a big person......

"So you know each other." Hong Fu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and was even more shocked by Hong Cheng's contrasting attitude before and after.

Hong Cheng was originally reluctant to come here, this was not dragged by him, although he did not exaggerate to cry to the death to protest along the way, but he kept showing him a reluctant stinky face.

Hong Fu secretly looked at the parsley, and was even more surprised. He has seen a lot of female companions who come and go around Hong Cheng, most of them are ** type, and there is no green female doll type like Parsley. Looking at the other party again, it is clear that he is disdainful of Hong Cheng!

"Dad, he just said that Duan Xiang would give us the bean sprouts in the hotel." Hong Cheng gave Hong Fu an introduction, which sounded perfunctory.

"It turned out to be Boss Hong." Duan Xiang saw Hong Fu's dress, and saw that he was with Hong Cheng, and he guessed Hong Fu's identity somewhat.

Hong Fu shook hands with Duan Xiang, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly about the big herring, "How many catties of your herring are there?" ”

"I don't have a scale, but I feel about a hundred pounds." Duan Xiang was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe it, so he said again, "Why don't you go down with me first?" ”

Hong Fu didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Don't be busy first, let's talk about the price first, how much are you going to sell?" ”

Duan Xiang glanced at Xiangqin, then picked up his wet hair, and was a little embarrassed to speak. However, he still mustered up his confidence, and said as if he was selling favors, "Everyone is an acquaintance, Boss Hong, I won't raise the price with you, you give 2,500 yuan, you can take this fish!" ”

Hong Fu was taken aback, looked at Duan Xiang, and glanced under the river embankment again. He thought that those were all unworldly dolls, and thought that their best idea was to sell him the herring fish for two pounds, so he first asked how heavy the fish was.

However, far beyond his expectations, Hong Fu didn't see that there was a person who knew the goods in front of Duan Xiang!

Duan Xiang looked at Hong Fu, his eyes lit up, and his face was expectant.

Hong Cheng also looked at his father, almost the same expression as Duan Xiang.

Hong Fu couldn't help but feel angry, and he had an urge to kick his son into the river. Which side is this stinky boy on now!

Hong Fu said weakly to Duan Xiang, "I'll go down with you first."

Duan Xiang led the way and took Hongfu to the bottom of the river embankment.

Xiangqin was about to go down, when she heard Hong Cheng say: "Xiangqin, don't go down, it's just raining, it's all mud, it's very dirty."

Parsley glanced back at him, ignoring him.

Hong Cheng was stunned in place, what did Xiangqin's disgusted expression mean just now? He seems to be the dirtiest one......

Hong Fu not only looked at the herring, but also looked back and forth in one or twenty large and small buckets.

Looking at his appearance, he wants more than just a big herring.

Duan Xiang kept following him, "Boss Hong, do you want anything else?" ”

Hong Cheng nodded slightly, stopped at the barrel containing the yellow eel, and discussed with Duan Xiang, "Look at this, I'll give you three thousand, even the big herring, I will eat all these fish you catch." ”

Duan Xiang was happy, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, "Boss Hong, you wait for me first." ”

After saying that, he ran to Xiangqin and told her what Hongfu meant.

Parsley felt that this deal could be done, but there were so many fish, and it was not caught by one person. And the two thousand five yuan of the big herring that went out, and the remaining five hundred yuan were spread out on the heads of nearly twenty people, which was not easy to divide, and even if it was divided equally, no one would be able to take much in their hands.

"I can't be the master of this, or you can call the others over, and we will discuss it together." Parsley can't make up her mind alone.

So, Duan Xiang gathered the people of Duanjiazhuang, and everyone gathered around to discuss this matter.

After listening to Duan Xiang's words, everyone looked embarrassed.

If the extra 500 yuan is in the hands of one person, it will be decent, but if it is evenly distributed to everyone, it is better to divide the fish equally! However, the thought of not being able to get the 500 yuan tickled everyone's hearts.

"Otherwise, forget it, just sell the herring you and Haozi hit." Ermao said.

"I have an idea." It was Duan Zheng who spoke, and he also played with Duan Xiang from childhood to adulthood. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else looked at him, and they heard him say again, "Sell it, sell it, and give the extra five hundred yuan to two cents." Seeing that everyone showed unbelievable expressions, he immediately explained, "Isn't the Ermao family going to buy a wheat harvester, and there is still some money missing, right, the five hundred yuan should be subsidized by the brothers for your family." But let's put it well, every year when the wheat is harvested, you have to lend us your wheat harvester! ”

As soon as Duan Zheng finished speaking, he immediately got a good response.

"Eh, that's a good idea!"

"Ermao, our family's few acres of land, please entrust it to your family's wheat harvester!"

Ermao is a tough guy, and his eyes are red soon.

Even if they don't fund it, as long as the brother asks, can he not lend them the wheat harvester?

But with the 500 yuan subsidy, the brother was embarrassed when he spoke, right......

Duan Xiang finalized, "Then let's do it, let's sell the fish to Boss Hong first." Anyway, there is still an afternoon to go, and we can come again tomorrow, so we don't have to worry about not being able to catch fish. ”

There is a glass water tank prepared in advance behind the small truck driven by Hong Cheng, which can be seen that Hong Fu is bound to win the big herring.

Duan Xiang and Duan Hao carried the herring fish to the river embankment, while the others carried the big fish and small fish, old turtles, and yellow eels in the bucket, and exchanged the morning's harvest for three thousand yuan.

When Duan Xiang got the money, he didn't know who said a joke, "Xiangzi, let's see if there is any fake!" ”

The people around laughed, who didn't know that the biggest thing about the Hong family's business is integrity, how could they give **!

Duan Xiang first drew five hundred and gave them to Ermao, and then handed over the remaining two thousand and a half to Parsley.

"Ermao, you go back with Parsley first." It's not a matter to bring so much money with him, but if he takes it back, Duan Xiang will feel at ease in his heart.

Parsley rolled up the money and stuffed it directly into her sleeve, so it was not easy to fall. "Then I'll go back first, and I'll bring you food later."

Duan Xiang was dumbfounded, "There are so many people, why did you bring them?" ”

He thought about catching fish for a day and going back in the evening to eat again.

Parsley smiled mysteriously, "I have a way." ”

So, Ermao rode a bicycle and took parsley back to Duanjiazhuang.

The two of them walked a long way, and they couldn't see anyone immediately, and Hong Cheng was still watching people.

Hong Fu saw that he was so unproductive, and rolled his eyes in annoyance, but the girls didn't look at him with disdain!

"Why don't you drive away yet!" Hong Fu urged.

Hong Cheng lazily got into the driver's seat, reversed the car, and returned along the road he came.
