Chapter 4: Fish
Hua Yunjian panted with the sack and found the tricycle he had hidden, put the sack in the back seat, and found a rock to smash the lock open.
I'm a little distressed, and I have to buy a new lock tomorrow.
The sack contained peach blossoms, and the sack was given by the Taoist priest, and the money was not counted, and there were many peach blossom Taoist priests who took the initiative to help him collect it, and it was good to take it when he had time.
The tricycle is not for electricity, but for human-powered tricycles, and it is not for pulling goods, but for pulling people, and Hua Yunjian has relied on this tricycle to earn enough tuition and living expenses since high school.
This is not an easy thing to do, because people who have ridden in his car know that his tricycle is pedaled, slow, and the service attitude is very bad, and he never helps customers to take a salute, as long as it is a student from Manchester City No. 9 High School, basically will not take his car.
Manchester City No. 9 Middle School is the high school he attended, and the reason why the name Hua Yunjian is famous in Manchester City No. 9 Middle School is probably because he doesn't have to study in the morning and evening, rides a tricycle every day to solicit customers, and has a bad personality and is extremely difficult to get along with.
There is no one in Manchester City No. 9 who doesn't know him, and no one likes him, as long as he is a normal person, he probably won't like such a strange person.
While riding a tricycle, Hua Yunjian was thinking about how to deal with the teacher tomorrow, I didn't go to class yesterday, and my mobile phone was gone, and it is estimated that the head teacher who "smiled on his face and poked with a knife in his heart" had already made a hundred small reports to the selfless grade director who was known as iron-faced!
Tomorrow may not be very good.
But tonight probably won't be easy, because Taohuawu is a full sixty miles away from the basement he rented.
It takes about three hours to kick back, and it will be very tiring.
At this time in the suburbs, there are basically no cars on the road, but the road is not very good, it took about an hour to get on the country road, and it took about an hour to pedal on the asphalt road, the closer to the city, the more brilliant the lights, and the dark and quiet Taohuawu is very different, here...... There is no night.
Because for many people, the night is just a prelude to the nightlife.
It was already more than eleven o'clock when I got home, and there were many places where I couldn't figure out what happened this day and night, but the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't remember, and I lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
……
……
……
As soon as the flowers and clouds left, the Taoist priest hummed a minor tune and went to the vegetable market by moonlight.
It was getting late, there were not many customers, and the vendors were ready to close their stalls.
The Taoist priest looked at the stale vegetables and shook his head, looked at the remaining corners of the meat and shook his head, saw a live fish in his eyes, and said, "I want this fish!" ”
"Is the Taoist improving his life today?" The eldest sister who sells fish quickly catches the fish with two knives to remove the scales and one knife to cut the abdomen, plus the time to remove the gills, a total of only twenty seconds, and the hand speed is amazing.
The Taoist priest gave a thumbs up to express his admiration, and then said with a smile: "The peach blossoms in the family have been all taken away by a rich man, so there is no need to worry about the problem of peaches not being sold this year!" So buy a fish and celebrate! ”
The eldest sister who sold the fish said "oh", a little disappointed, and said, "That's really congratulations, you should eat something good." As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of green onions from the stall next door, put them in a bag with the fish, and handed them to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest thanked him with a smile and left humming a minor tune.
There is a river in Taohuawu, called the Peach River, this river is the lifeblood of the city, a tributary of the Yangtze River, in the early years, Manchester people grew up drinking water from this river, but at that time it may be a reason of habit, many people also pee in the river to bathe and.
With the rapid development of the national economy and the comprehensive improvement of the national quality, no one directly drinks the water of the Peach River, and naturally no one pees and in the Peach River.
Because Manchester City has been developing a tourism economy in recent years, the former factories have been relocated, and the authorities are very strict about environmental management, but they will give appropriate preferential treatment to factories in other aspects, because of this, Manchester City's environment has improved, and the water of the Peach River has gradually cleared.
On the Peach River, there is only one bridge, a stone arch bridge, and a small stone arch bridge in Taohuawu.
When the Taoist priest hummed an unknown tune and took advantage of the moonlight to return and pass by the stone arch bridge, a fish jumped up from the peach river.
The fish landed on the stone arch bridge, and did not struggle, a pair of fish eyes stared at the Taoist priest, and the fish's scales and armor were faintly lit under the moonlight.
The Taoist priest squatted down, raised the fish in his hand, and said, "I happened to buy a fish today, and it is your fate." ”
"Let's go down to the river!" The Taoist priest caught the fish and was about to throw it into the peach river, but the fish swung its tail, broke free from the Taoist priest's hand, and fell on the stone arch bridge again, because it fell twice, and the blood had overflowed under the fish scales.
The Taoist priest was a little helpless, pointed at the fish and scolded: "I don't know whether I live or die, isn't it good to live?" How can there be a fish like you? What a shame for the fish! ”
The fish remained motionless, allowing the Taoist priest to scold.
When the Taoist priest had finished scolding, he grabbed the fish, stuffed it into a plastic bag, and said, "Since you don't know what to do, then I'll kill you tomorrow night to make soup!" ”
Stepping on his own shadow and humming an unknown tune again, the Taoist priest was still in a good mood, returned to the Peach Blossom Temple, casually threw the fish into the water tank in the yard, and then walked into the kitchen and boiled a pot of water.
After the water boils, put the fish in it.
The method is extremely simple, and it is very likely that this Taoist priest does not know how to cook.
Without oil or salt, it was boiled for two hours, and a pot of water was boiled into a small half pot, and the Taoist priest served a bowl of fish soup and added a few chopped green onions.
I took a small bench and sat in the courtyard, facing the moon and stars, and felt that life was really beautiful.
As if he remembered something again, he put the fish soup on the small bench, grabbed a few peach blossoms and threw them into the fish tank, and then came back to take a sip of the fish soup, squinted his eyes and said, "It's so fragrant." ”
"The peach blossoms should be dried tomorrow, otherwise they will all be ruined." The Taoist priest said as he drank the fish soup.

When Hua Yunjian woke up the next day, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, grabbed the alarm clock and took a look, and patted it a few times in annoyance, and the alarm clock rang with "jingle bells", sighed, got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, take his time, don't worry, it's already late anyway.
There are more lice and they are not afraid of bites.
It was already eleven o'clock when he packed up, rode his own car, and first went to the bun shop to buy three steamed buns, and the uncle gave him half a cup of soy milk.
After eating the three meat buns, I only ate half full, and then I tasted the soy milk, to be honest, this is the first time Hua Yunjian has drunk soy milk, and the sweet fragrance is really delicious.
The school is in the third ring, and it is quite far from the fifth ring where Huayunjian lives, and generally Huayunjian lives in the school, and he only went back on a half-day holiday on Sunday afternoon, today is Tuesday, and he didn't ask for leave yesterday, and his mobile phone can't get through, and he feels a little bad when he thinks of these flowers.
Because he studied so hard that the man who sponsored him told him that only knowledge could change his fate, he was worried that he would be expelled from school.
Especially the son who provoked the principal, who has been caught by others.
"Alas, life is so tiring!" Hua Yunjian complained, riding a tricycle and heading in the direction of Jiuzhong.
