Chapter 18: The Unexpected

As soon as it was dark, Feng Xiaowu rode the old and dilapidated Da 28 to Zhubantun at a gallop. He stepped on the brake slowly, followed the force of the slide to the door of Wang Bo's house, raised his right leg, jumped down in the air, and stood right at the gate.

Li Zhongxin is very disdainful of Feng Xiaowu's flower work, now he is young, his body coordination is good, once there is a mistake, it will be enough to choke, he did not say much about Feng Xiaowu's problem when he was riding a bicycle.

After all, he is still extremely satisfied with Feng Xiaowu, a "special car driver".

Feng Xiaowu has helped him do a lot of things recently, and if it weren't for Feng Xiaowu's help, the fishing thing would definitely not have developed so fast during this period of time.

After beckoning Feng Xiaowu to enter the door, Li Zhongxin asked him to fish out four four or five kilogram river fish from the large vat used to hold sauerkraut in the winter at his third uncle's house.

After greeting his third uncle Wang Bo, he asked Feng Xiaowu to ride him to the vicinity of Bai Yunpeng's house.

He turned around mysteriously, saw that there was no one around, took off a big fish that was four or five catties heavy on the handlebar, made a high throwing motion with both arms, and threw the fish directly into the yard of Bai Yunpeng's house.

Ignoring Feng Xiaowu's surprised eyes, Li Zhongxin waved his hand and motioned for Feng Xiaowu to carry him away.

When the bicycle entered Jiangcheng and reached the corner of Fufeng Street and Wenjiu Road, Li Zhongxin told Feng Xiaowu to stop the bicycle and wait for him for a while, and he was going to take a fish as a gift.

In this era, there are very few people who give gifts, but there are still a lot of things to eat among neighbors, Li Zhong knows in his confidence that a river fish is enough to give a gift to Aunt Xie.

Li Zhongxin casually picked off a river fish from the handlebar, walked a few steps quickly, and when he arrived at the gate of Lao Xie's house, he knocked on the door directly.

Li Zhongxin has always felt that courtesy is still exchanged, and it is rude to go back and forth; It is also rude to come and not to communicate.

Aunt Xie Shen Chunhua helped Li Zhongxin so much, and she didn't tell her mother Wang Yaqing about Li Zhongxin's more than 130 yuan, this is a big gift, and he has always been thinking about it in his heart!

Now there happens to be live fish, and sending it to Aunt Xie to try it can be regarded as a return of favor.

What's more, Li Zhongxin has to go to the post office to see if there are a large number of monkey tickets for sale recently!

He believes that having a good relationship with Shen Chunhua is definitely a good and harmless thing.

The matter of sending fish to Shen Chunhua was only thought of by Li Zhongxin when he was about to go home, and when he wanted to send a big fish to the Bai family before, he thought of Shen Chunhua here.

Li Zhongxin is very experienced in gift-giving, and when he knocked on the door, he heard a voice inside, and he immediately shouted to find Shen Chunhua.

At the door of Xie's house, Li Zhongxin said a few words to Shen Chunhua very tacitly, and then returned home with the remaining big fish.

Li Shangyong didn't have much reaction to Li Zhongxin's recent running to Wang Bo's side, but just told Li Zhongxin that he had to go home early in the future, and it was not right for children to go home too late.

It was Thursday again, and this time Li Zhongxin was not arrested, and after lunch at home at noon, he found an opportunity to sneak out.

When he came to the post office again, Li Zhongxin felt that the post office was like a hospital for future generations, crowded and overcrowded.

Compared with the deserted post office in later generations, it is simply a world of difference.

He found Aunt Xie Shen Chunhua with ease, and after politely greeting him, he asked straight to the point about buying stamps.

Li Zhongxin did not say that he was going to buy stamps, but took out his third uncle Wang Bo and sold it, saying that his third uncle had made some money fishing recently, and his brain was hot, and he was a little crazy, and wanted to buy some monkey stamps as collectibles.

Shen Chunhua still attaches great importance to Li Zhongxin, a sensible child, not to mention that Li Zhongxin can have a manuscript fee income of more than 100 yuan in the third grade of primary school, but the two fish that were given to her are already worthy of her helping Li Zhongxin.

Shen Chunhua can see that Li Zhongxin, a child, is not short of money now, and he has live river fish in his hands, and if he has a good relationship with Li Zhongxin, it should not be a problem for his son to eat fish.

Hearing that Li Zhongxin wanted to buy monkey stamps, Shen Chunhua immediately led Li Zhongxin downstairs and asked Lin Mei, a colleague who was responsible for managing stamps, about stamps.

Lin Mei heard that it was Sister Shen's relatives who wanted to buy monkey tickets, so she immediately put down what she was doing and went to the post office warehouse behind to help find it.

For the matter of buying so many monkey tickets at one time, Lin Mei scoffed.

That kind of monkey stamps are not wanted at all now, many times, when they are sold at the window, the people who send the mail do not buy them, and they have to exchange them for the most common Great Wall stamps or residential stamps.

In Lin Mei's eyes, this relative of Sister Shen's family should not have a very flexible brain.

Li Zhongxin was tormented for more than ten minutes before he saw Lin Mei walking over from the warehouse with a full-page monkey ticket and a dozen single monkey tickets.

Lin Mei said to Shen Chunhua as she walked: "Sister Shen, I found it in the warehouse with stamps in the back, and now it is full of Great Wall stamps and residential stamps, and there are only so many monkey stamps, I will bring them all for you." ”

Seeing Shen Chunhua take the stamp, Lin Mei reminded again very seriously: "Sister Shen, if you want me to say, this kind of stamp is not valuable, if you buy it back, I suggest you still buy the stamps of the Great Wall and houses, and now people recognize that." ”

Nima! Make no mistake, there is only one full-page monkey ticket in the big post office, and there are only about 20 loose tickets, and Li Zhongxin feels that his brain is a little insufficient.

Could it be that after he was reborn, the development of the monkey ticket has changed.

Li Zhongxin remembers very well that in '82, the whole country had not yet begun to rise to collect stamps, and monkey stamps were unsellable in many places, and suddenly Lin Mei told him that there was only one full-page monkey stamp left in the entire post office, and he suddenly felt a little confused and a little bored.

After some thanks, Li Zhongxin spent ten yuan and two cents and four cents to buy the only 128 monkey tickets in the Jiangcheng Post Office.

After Li Zhongxin came out of the post office with some depression, he did not go home directly, but went to the place where his third uncle Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo sold fish.

First, Li Zhongxin wanted to see how Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were selling fish recently, and second, he went to the Muslim store to buy some beef.

During this period of rebirth, Li Zhongxin has been busy with fishing, and he doesn't dare to spend money in his hands, and now the third uncle Wang Bo sells fish to make money, and he can buy anything in the name of the third uncle Wang Bo.

Li Zhongxin inspected around and found that the third uncle Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were already very professional in selling fish, and they could even shout loudly, everyone come and take a look! Fresh pure river fish is cheaper, and whoever buys it is suitable.

That's all there is left, and if you don't buy it, you won't have it today.

Li Zhongxin raised the corners of his mouth, patted Wang Bo's shoulder and said, "Isn't it good?" Third uncle, you are now selling more and more fish! ”

Seeing that Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were familiar with the selling, Li Zhongxin was very happy, and even praised Wang Bo, but before Li Zhongxin's happiness passed, Wang Bo's later sentence almost didn't spray him.

"The eldest nephew is here! We have to have a set to sell fish. After Wang Bo replied to Li Zhongxin, he smiled even more complacently: "When we come out to sell, we must be open, full of enthusiasm, and show our sincerity." I've listened to you all these fish sellers. ”

Wang Bo's expression was quite serious when he spoke, as if he had already taken out his sincerity.

However, hearing Li Zhongxin's ears, Li Zhongxin even had a feeling that he would go to Dongguan in the future.

If we come out to sell, we have to let it go, my third uncle! What do you sell? What can you let go?

Such a sentence seems to come out of the mouths of those dedicated young ladies.

Li Zhongxin's head swelled with countless black lines, and he thought depressedly in his heart, and he came up with a piece that I said, can I say something that is not level?

After buying two catties of beef ribs and a roast chicken from Fu Liji, he told his third uncle Wang Bo, Feng Xiaowu, who had received the money here in the evening, to eat at home.

And you must remember that he bought the two catties of beef and roast chicken, and he asked Li Zhongxin to take them back and make them earlier.

After Li Zhongxin arrived at home, he took out the beef ribs and roast chicken, and told the grandmother and grandfather that the third uncle had bought beef and roast chicken, and he would come here to eat at night.

Seeing that it was beef and roast chicken, Li Zhongxin's grandmother He Shuqing smiled on her face.

She told Li Zhongxin that she was going to show Li Zhongxin a hand tonight, and the potato stew was beef stew in the evening.

After Li Zhongxin's grandmother took the things, she ignored Li Zhongxin and started to get busy directly.

After skillfully changing the knife (cutting large pieces of meat into small pieces), the grandmother He Shuqing put the meat in a basin of clear water and soaked it, and began to look for ingredients to make beef stew.

Put a little soybean oil in the big iron pot, and when she saw that the oil temperature was rising, there was some oil smoke slightly, so she put the green onions, old ginger, and ingredients into the pot together.

Stir-fry until fragrant, then put the soaked beef into it and stir-fry together, after stir-frying a few times, pour in some soy sauce and your own bean paste and stir-fry a few times, and finally add water.

Simmer for 15 minutes and simmer.

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the pot, Li Zhongxin was full of smiles.
