Chapter 8 Harvest
The most famous of the four major freshmen in the Northeast is the Kaijiang fish, because in a long winter that lasts for half a year, the river is frozen, the fish lack oxygen and food, and because of the low temperature and reduced activity, the growth is slow, making the meat extremely delicious. The lack of food and the pure water quality after the closure of the river have made the fresh and clean Kaijiang fish the best delicacy on the table of Northeast people.
There are many kinds of fish in the Songhua River, the most famous of which are Sanhua, Wuluo, and Eighteen Sons.
Sanhua refers to the flower of ao, bream, and crucian carp.
The five Luo are Zheluo, Faro, Yaluo, Huluo, and Tongluo, and the five Luos are very expensive.
There are many kinds of fish with "seeds", such as boat ding, willow root, gourd seed, wheat ear seed, white drifter, loach hook, yellow girl, red-eyed star, warped mouth island, seven floats, silver carp, crucian gourd seed, catfish ball, gayazi, oxtail seed, seven stars, flat dan hook, sand dune seed, purple mud belly, Diaozi, flower lamb......
There are many kinds of Kaijiang fish caught by Li Zhongxin, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo, and Rao is a later generation, Li Zhongxin always eats river fish by the river, and he does not recognize all these fish that he hit.
These fish were to be pulled to the city to be sold, and it was very unrealistic to use people to resist them, so Li Zhongxin asked Dong Zhiguo if he could get a big cart such as a carriage or a trolley.
Dong Zhiguo is the cousin of Dong Guozhong, the village party secretary, and he was very good in Zhubantun at this time, and when he heard Li Zhongxin say that he wanted to borrow a car, he ran to Zhubantun to get a car without saying a word.
Li Zhong looked at Dong Zhiguo's back with confidence, and remembered one thing in his heart, that is, during the 83rd year of the crackdown, Dong Zhiguo was sentenced to three years because a friend committed a crime of stealing, and when he confessed, he said that he had given him ten catties of food stamps, and he was sentenced to three years because of this pot burning.
After coming out, he and Dong Guozhong had a fight, and went directly to the south to join Wang Bo, although he didn't mix well in the south, he rarely returned to Zhubantun.
Li Zhong confidently thought that Dong Zhiguo, like Wang Bo, was a good person, even to the point of exhaustion, he did not do anything illegal.
If a stone is not lit, it will not become gold, and a person will not become an adult if he is not lit. This time he was reborn in eighty-two, and he wanted to change the fate of two people.
Sitting on the trolley pushed by Dong Zhiguo, Li Zhong thought depressedly in his confidence that reborn in this era, not to mention the material poverty, the tools are also quite simple, and it is really difficult to do anything!
When you go to Jiangcheng to sell fish, you have to borrow a trolley from everywhere, which is really a bit troublesome.
After loading two and a half bags of fish into the truck, Wang Bo, under Li Zhongxin's reminder, led Li Zhongxin to the old Zhang's house next door to borrow a rod scale that Li Zhongxin had forgotten for many years.
Li Zhongxin saw that the borrowed rod scale was the same as the rod scale that had been in the family in his previous life, which was a rod scale with a wooden rod with stars and a slight taper as the main body, and the end of the scale rod also wrapped a round head with copper skin, but the thickness of the copper skin was very thin, and there was a layer of green on it.
The weighing weight (the same as the effect of the weight) is the old-fashioned ten-pound weight, and the leather (cowhide buckle fixed on the scale rod) of the front part of the scale rod is the weight of the scale within ten catties, and the leather of the back part can weigh things within twenty catties.
There is also a hook in the front section of the leather carrying, if the weighed thing is tied with a rope, it can also be hung on the hook to weigh, Li Zhongxin feels that this kind of weighing, is suitable for them to sell fish.
The rope is an ordinary hemp rope, and the weighing pan is full of rust, in Li Zhongxin's heart, such a broken scale is a bit miserable, but he thinks about it carefully, in the early eighties, there was a scale at home was already very good.
It was precisely because of this that when he saw his third uncle Wang Bo borrowing the rod scale, he talked to Uncle Zhang tightly, for fear that Uncle Zhang would not be upset, and the rod scale would not lend him the scale.
Wang Bo said that after arriving, he did not make any delay, and walked quickly to the head of the village with Li Zhongxin, preparing to sell fish in Jiangcheng.
Dong Zhiguo, on the other hand, gave the largest one to his cousin village party secretary Dong Guozhong according to what Li Zhongxin said, and asked Dong Guozhong to eat fish in Dong Zhiguo at night. The other few will be raised in a large water tank, and Li Zhongxin will bring them home when he returns home early tomorrow morning.
Li Zhongxin knew that Dong Zhiguo and Wang Bo didn't have much money, so he directly took out a small scalper (the name for the 1960 version of five yuan at that time) and handed it to Dong Zhiguo, telling Dong Zhiguo to eat some food at home.
Li Zhongxin originally wanted to come up with a big unity, but thinking of his purchasing power at this time, he finally chose the little scalper.
Rao is like this, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo are petrified together.
In the eighties, there was no chengguan, and Kaijiang fish was a rare thing, Wang ** walked all the way with Li Zhongxin, and before he got to the place Li Zhongxin wanted to go, Kaijiang fish had already sold most of it.
Not to mention the most of the Kaijiang fish that has been sold, some people have begun to book this kind of Kaijiang fish that can be bought without meat tickets.
In the vicinity of the Jiangcheng vegetable market, before Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo shouted, a group of people surrounded the trolley and began to rush to buy, from entering the city to selling all the fish, not even an hour, so that Li Zhongxin could see the purchasing power of people in this era.
As long as you don't want food stamps, meat stamps, and good things, you can sell them more expensively, and some people want them. Almost all people in this era are employees of the state, and they are all funded by the state, and when they encounter good things, they are afraid that they will not be able to spend the money in their hands and will not be able to buy good things.
The Kaijiang fish sold by Li Zhongxin is not expensive, it is lower than the price of the fish in Li Zhongxin's memory, and they are all fresh Kaijiang fish, which is more convincing.
The most important thing is that meat tickets are also required to buy fish in state-run stores, and in the era when meat tickets are more valuable than money, most people are not willing to use meat tickets to buy fish.
That is, in less than an hour, the fish that Li Zhongxin and Wang ** went to Jiangcheng were swept away, and Wang Bole couldn't close his mouth.
Li Zhongxin watched his third uncle Wang Bo carefully plug the door with the door, as if he was a thief, and crept to the blind corner that could not be seen outside the window on the fire kang, and looked around for a while before he carefully took out the change in the broken canvas satchel one by one with a worried expression. Seeing Wang Bo's thief-like style, Li Zhong felt angry and funny in his confidence.
Wang Bo sat down in the kang and put the money in several places, one corner, two corners, five corners, and one yuan...... I counted seven or eight times in a pile, and even the coins were not spared, and I checked them four or five times.
Wang Bo has not closed his mouth since counting money, and the posture and attitude of counting money are alive and well with Master Bayi in the movie Avanti.
When I was about to count the money, I was talking about what my money was ninety-nine......
Seeing Li Zhongxin lazily lying on the kang and looking at the sky, Wang Bo carefully put the money into the broken canvas satchel, and leaned his big face to Li Zhongxin with an eager face, and said mysteriously: "Big nephew, do you guess how much the two of us went out to sell this time?" ”
Seeing Li Zhongxin's stunned appearance, Wang Bo whispered with his mouth closed: "Big nephew, we have made a fortune, we sold a total of thirty-nine yuan and two cents today, as well as fourteen catties of food stamps and three catties of meat stamps. ”
Li Zhongxin glanced at Wang Bo with a little disdain, he had already calculated the approximate amount of money in his heart.
There are more than 100 catties of fish in total, and the average of big fish, good fish and small fish is about one catty in the four corners, and it would be good to have thirty or forty yuan.
For the first time to use a kite board to hang a net to catch fish, Li Zhongxin still has some loss in his heart.
According to Li Zhongxin's original idea, how could he catch 100 catties of fish with one net, but he led Wang Bo to release two nets before he caught 100 catties of fish, which made Li Zhongxin feel a certain gap.
This kind of gap is only a temporary psychological gap, Li Zhong is confident that because he does not know enough about this section of the river, this time he and the third uncle are flying kites and walking very closely, and it is normal that there are not many fish, and besides, now is not the best time to fish.
What's more, the kind of net he uses is a fifty-meter one-inch net, and it is a very good harvest to remove the head and tail and not catch big fish.
What's more, Li Zhongxin left behind five or six big fish, which is more than 30 catties according to the average weight of five catties each, and if these fish are sold, the income will almost reach fifty or sixty yuan.
Wang Bo didn't see the displeasure of his nephew Li Zhongxin, and even regarded the displeasure shown by Li Zhongxin as a sign of being stupid.
In Wang Bo's heart, the nephew's matter is already good.
It's now eighty-two years, and as a people's teacher, my sister only earns 38 yuan a month, and my brother-in-law, a senior carpenter with a sixth-level technical title, only earns 38 yuan a month, which is still a salary that has just risen.
It was a morning to hang a net to fish with Li Zhongxin, plus selling fish in the city, it was nothing more than half a day's time, and before it was evening, the two of them had already earned 39 yuan and 2 cents and 14 catties of food stamps.
The thirty-nine seven dimes and two cents belong to him and his nephew, that is to say, he and his nephew earn more than his brother-in-law in a month's hard work.
In Wang Bo's heart, his nephew is nothing more than a small child, and at such a time, he should be frightened by the staggering number.
Wang Bo thought complacently in his heart, this time he got so much money, gave his eldest nephew three yuan and two yuan, bought a pack of good cigarettes for his good friend Zhiguo, and waited for the evening, bought some meat to eat big fish in Zhiguo, and drank some wine, this is simply a lucky day!
Just when Wang Bo was thinking alone, Li Zhongxin said with a little melancholy: "When I return the car in a while, give your friend Dong Zhiguo five yuan, which is considered to use him to get a trolley and his salary today, and then go to the street to buy rod scales, buy some good meat, and buy a bag of Hongta Mountain for Lao Zhang's family by the way, and the rest of the money will be put to me first, as a follow-up start-up capital for the time being." ”
What, give Zhiguo five dollars! Buy a pack of Hongtashan for Lao Zhangtou?!!!!
Wang Bo's eyes immediately bulged out like goldfish eyes.
What is the concept of five yuan, a worker can earn five yuan after working for several days, it is nothing more than Zhiguo borrowing a trolley and asking Zhiguo to help with the work for two hours, giving five yuan, which is also ......
Although Wang Bo couldn't accept the matter of giving Dong Zhiguo five yuan, Dong Zhiguo was also a good friend of his Wang Bo, so he gave it.
However, borrowing it from Lao Zhang's house and buying a box of Hongtashan is a bit too much.
In the early 80s, cigarette stamps were needed to buy cigarettes, and most of the cigarette stamps that Wang Bo smoked came from Li Zhongxin's house. Remarks: (The types of issuance of old tickets can be roughly divided into food (including non-staple food) such as food stamps, meat stamps, sugar stamps, etc.; daily necessities such as line tickets, soap tickets, coal tickets, etc.; Knitted textiles such as cloth tickets, cotton tickets, shoe tickets, etc., are issued through government departments, companies, supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., but they are all used in commercial or supply and marketing departments. The method of use is generally to sit on the number of the month. There are generally two ways to number the old ticket: one is to number the month, which month will use which month's ticket, this kind of ticket is similar to the comprehensive purchase coupon, people are used to calling it "monthly pass". The supply department will announce the name and quantity of the materials purchased with the ticket in the current month; The other is to use Arabic numeral numbers, and the supply department will also announce at the corresponding time that a certain number such as No. 1, No. 11, etc. will be used to purchase certain goods, which is called "No. Number Ticket"; There is also a special ticket that specifies the number of products and quantities. )
It's been two or three years since he arrived in Jiangcheng, and Wang Bo has smoked the most large-scale production and big front door, that is, Chuncheng has only followed his brother-in-law Li Shangyong to smoke a few, and now suddenly the eldest nephew asked him to buy a box of Hongtashan for two cents a piece for Lao Zhang's family, which simply blinded Wang Bo's eyes.
Thinking of Li Zhongxin's statement that he would put the rest of the money to Li Zhongxin to do what the start-up capital would do, Wang Bo's face suddenly fell to the surface of his feet, he glanced at Li Zhongxin with disdain, and said angrily: "What do the children understand, wait for you to buy delicious food, and I will arrange the rest of the money, what to do with so much money for them, you don't know how not to participate with adults." ”
Wang Bo was also blinded by the more than 30 yuan at this time, and he wanted to exercise his privileges as an elder.
Li Zhongxin saw that his third uncle Wang Bo was a little annoyed and angry, he didn't raise his head or open his eyes and said to himself: "It's just a total of more than 30 yuan, if you earn 3500, you don't want your nephew." ”
When Wang Bo heard Li Zhongxin's gossipy words, he immediately became anxious, and was just about to blurt out and curse, when he heard Li Zhongxin muttering again: "A fishing net like this costs dozens of dollars, a kite board costs dozens of dollars, and I taught me the technique of hanging fish, alas! Forget it, just when I spend ten big solidarity to see a person clearly, and when I see grandpa and grandpa in the future, I really have to ask ......"
Li Zhong knew very well in his confidence that at such a time, he must surrender his third uncle, or he, the third uncle, would really be able to go to heaven if he was rich.
