Chapter 12: Jealousy Makes People Lose Their Minds
One of these people has a blood-stained bandage on his head, it is Zhang Erdou and his two fox friends.
"Hey, this time I got five or six hundred catties of fish!"
"Holy, how much is this worth?"
The two doglegs drooled with envy.
"What did they throw into the water?" The fierce light in Zhang Erdou's eyes was replaced by greed.
"I look like quicklime, that thing can heat up in the water, and those fish can't stand the heat, so they float up!"
"Nonsense, how much quicklime does it take to make this big pool of water hot, I think it's poison, they're poisoning the fish!"
Zhang Erdou glared and scolded, "You are blind, those fish will wake up after a while, if poison can be like this?" ”
"It's either poison or anesthetic, I heard that in the early years, Hua Tuo had a kind of magic medicine that could make people anesthetized, maybe they used that recipe!"
"Roll, Ma!" Zhang Erdou kicked down the goods, "It's still numb, if they have the one who has already made a fortune selling prescriptions and catching fish from here, this time they have to get this method from these boys anyway......"
Greed is an original sin that can make people lose their minds and become insane.
There are too many fish this time, plus the rest from last time, there are six or seven hundred catties, and there is no place in four large buckets.
Ma Zhu was worried, "Why don't we come back tomorrow?" ”
Tomorrow, Zhang Xuebing plans to sell those turtles, and he is not willing to waste half a day, but how to transport these fish away has become a problem, and he is afraid that there will be no live fish left in the county seat without a bucket.
Suddenly, he remembered what a southern friend in his elders had said - the bowfish preservation method.
To put it simply, it is to use a straw rope to pass through the gills of the fish's mouth, and then tie the other end to the tail of the fish, so that the body of the fish becomes a curved bow shape, and the most important step is to pour some water into the belly of the fish, so that the fish will not die even if it is out of the water for a long time, and it is said that the taste is particularly good.
My friend didn't introduce the principle, but Zhang Xuebing pondered for a while, it should be this shape that can keep the mouth and gills open for a long time, and will not adhere due to lack of water, causing hypoxia death.
As for why it tastes good, there's no way to know.
There were a lot of straw ropes and hemp ropes at home, and soon the five of them made these big fish into bow fish according to Zhang Xuebing's method, hung them on the handlebars and back seats in strings, and finally brought some wild vegetables as samples.
The rest of the fish they ate by themselves didn't dare to put them in their own homes, so they took most of them home, and the province was angry when their sister-in-law saw it.
Last time the wild fish was sold, Boss Guo and Boss Wang had already regarded Zhang Xuebing as the God of Wealth, looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to him coming to deliver fish earlier.
Seeing that Zhang Xuebing came in the afternoon, the two of them immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces.
"Didn't it say that it was early, I came today, great, a few old customers in the morning asked if there was any goods!"
Boss Wang hurriedly helped unload the goods while greeting, and exclaimed when he saw the lively bowfish, "This, the fish can't die like this?" Hurry up, release it into the water, don't die! ”
It can be seen that this guy only has interests in his eyes, but Boss Guo asked for warmth for a while, moved chairs and poured water, and asked the two young men who had run for dozens of miles to rest first.
The performance of the two is in stark contrast, Zhang Xuebing naturally knows in his heart, not only gave Boss Guo two cents cheaper, but also gave him the best fish, which can be regarded as a return for the peach.
After packing up these fish, Zhang Xuebing quietly left those mountain turtles to Boss Guo and asked him to watch the sale.
"This is a pretty commodity, the price is high, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell!" Lao Guo was a little worried in surprise.
Zhang Xuebing drank tea and chuckled, "You don't have to worry about this, it doesn't matter how much is left, I have my own market!" ”
The boss of the stall next to him arranged the fish, and suddenly found that there was a sack on the bicycle, and he didn't ask for the owner's consent, so he went up directly to untie the hole.
"It's all wild vegetables, this thing is bitter, who likes to eat it?"
Seeing what was inside, he patted the dirt on his hands in disgust and complained.
Zhang Xuebing pretended not to hear, and said slowly, "This is a native product of our mountains, bring it here for you to taste!" ”
When Boss Wang heard that it was for nothing, his face was suddenly full of smiles, "Then I'm not welcome, I'll leave you half of it!" ”
Bending down to pick the eye-catching wild vegetables, Zhang Xuebing glanced at the hemp pole.
The hemp pole was clever, and immediately understood, and went up and pressed the pocket.
"My brother said to give you a taste, but he didn't say to give it all, you really don't see outside!"
Lao Wang was bored with himself, smiled awkwardly, and went to greet business.
It's only past three o'clock, and it's not yet time to get off work, which is the lightest time of the day in the vegetable market.
Lao Guo refilled Zhang Xuebing's tea, "Don't care, Lao Wang is straight-tempered, you plan to find someone to replace. Selling wild vegetables? ”
Zhang Xuebing pointed to the sack, "That's right, this is one of the purposes of coming today!" ”
Lao Guo opened his pocket, pinched out a few wild vegetables, pinched the old and tender, tasted it again, and then nodded and said.
"It's not bad, it's fresh, you're planning to empty up all the things in the mountains!"
Zhang Xuebing put down the cup and stood up, took a bitter herb, and chewed it directly in his mouth, the bitter taste made his brows furrow slightly.
"Our village is divided into nine mountains, a field, just by digging in the soil can not feed themselves, bitter, the mountains are full of treasures, but the transportation is inconvenient, I don't have much ability, just want to go out of the road, so that the villagers are better, at least fill the stomach!"
Lao Guo has lived in these poor mountain villages for many years in the mountains and countryside, and he knows the local hardships very well.
"It's simple, my brother-in-law will pour vegetables, and I'll take you to his side to talk!"
Zhang Xuebing didn't expect things to be so simple, and followed Lao Guo to the vegetable wholesale area.
After taking a few steps, Lao Guo turned around and shouted Lao Wang, "Brother, help me see the stall!" ”
Lao Wang said an oh word with a little impatience.
"Hey, you're delaying your business!" Zhang Xuebing's tone was full of apologies.
"There's no business at all at this time, and I'm also idle, to be honest, I'm not usually too nosy, but since I saw you that day, I know that there are still young people like you who work as hard, and I'm happy to help you!"
He didn't say anything well, Zhang Xuebing had to laugh at himself, "I'm not working hard, I'm just thick-skinned!" ”
Lao Guo was amused, "Thick-skinned people also work hard to cultivate, it's not easy, hey, why are you here?" ”
The two met a young man on a bicycle, and Lao Guo raised his hand to stop him.
They look a little similar, the young man in his twenties is in a cultural shirt, prince pants, has a mushroom head, rides a brightly colored mountain bike, and has a cynical smell all over his body.
"It's just right for you to come, let's go see the stall for a while, I'll go to your uncle's side for something!" Lao Guo's tone was very blunt.
The young man shook his hair around, stretched out his hand and said, "Dad, I still have something to do, how can I show you the stall, give me a hundred yuan!" ”
Lao Guo turned his head to look at Zhang Xuebing, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he grabbed a large handful of zero tickets from his pocket, slapped them in the young man's hand, and reprimanded him angrily, "Don't do anything every day, just know how to spend money, do you want these loves!" ”
"Well, thank you, Daddy, we'll see you later!" Putting away the money, the young man jerked the handlebars and walked away without looking back.
Lao Guo watched his son's figure disappear into the distance, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be a little deeper, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "He is a few years older than you, he doesn't understand anything, and there is only one word left for the bun without skin!" ”
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhang Xuebing doesn't want to talk too much about other people's housework, so he can only comfort him softly.
"Xie Jiabaoshu occasionally has yellow leaves, and it is inevitable that the green-maned horse will ride a small flaw, who hasn't had a little problem, maybe he will do a big career another day!"
"Hey, don't be angry with me, I don't expect him to do anything big!"
