Chapter 11: A Sunny Day
Gu Yu looked up and saw that it was a girl in a red elastic swimsuit who was talking to him, sitting on the edge of the pool. There were several other senior girls around her who were around her age, and their bodies were already bumpy under the wrapping of their bathing suits.
They were all smiling at him.
Generally, those who can play here in the deep water area of the pool are masters, so the deep water area will be relatively clean and there are few people.
The girl who took the initiative to talk to Gu Yu knew her name Hu Jingjing, and she was an alumnus one grade higher than him. At the end of this summer vacation, she should be admitted to the service major of Gaonian Hotel, and in her previous life, she was the lobby manager of a five-star hotel in the city......
In fact, Gu Yu's swimming style was not very standard, and he was a self-taught wild man in the mountains. In his previous life, he went to a technical school to study, went to work in the swimming pool in the summer, and followed a young college student temporary coach to study hard before learning the swimming movement to the standard......
"Thank you." Gu Yu smiled at Hu Jingjing and the others, which was regarded as a greeting.
In their time, girls were also polarized. One is a very quiet and obedient girl, who basically belongs to the kind that stays at home. There is also a girl like Hu Jingjing, who doesn't care much at home, is precocious, and mixes outside all day long......
In his previous life, if Gu Yu had met a precocious girl like Hu Jingjing and them who took the initiative to talk to her, she would have lost her soul a long time ago.
However, now Gu Yu is full of determination.
Although Gu Yu was not interested in taking care of those senior girls, the pheasants and meat balls who had just swam over on the side were light-boned:
"Hi, seniors! Do you want to learn a few hands from our boss Brother Yu? ”
At this time, Hu Jingjing and the others found out that Gu Yu and his group were junior students from the same school.
At first, after Gu Yu's killer hairstyle entered the water, he seemed to have changed into a different person, and the beautiful standard swimming style was refreshing.
A few girls on the side coaxed: "Jingjing, how about it, go down and learn a few hands from Gu Yu?" ”
"Go down, go down, who's afraid of whom!"
After speaking, Hu Jingjing jumped into the water and came to Gu Yu's side with a "plop", and said softly while stepping on the water: "Gu Yu, your freestyle posture is very beautiful, can you teach me some?" ”
On the side, the monkey and the pheasant began to coax:
"Boss, teach! Teach by hand! ”
"Brother Yu, such a good opportunity, if you can't do it, let me go?"
"Pheasant you, don't talk nonsense. How could our boss not be able to? ”
……
The girl was so active, under the coaxing of everyone, Gu Yu was also a little embarrassed, so she had to teach Hu Jingjing a few freestyle and diving posture essentials......
Soon, due to the good interaction between Gu Yu and Hu Jingjing, the people such as Qian Miao, Meat Ball and Pheasant got acquainted with the senior girls brought by Hu Jingjing......
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Yu was a little reminded of the movie "Sunny Days" released two years ago.
When the movie "Sunny Day" was released, in order to watch the wonderful clips of Tranquility taking a bath in the movie and Xia Yu and Tranquility in the swimming pool, Gu Yu and the others sneaked into the cinema and watched it many times.
When they watched this clip for the first time in the movie, Gu Yu and the others were still very embarrassed, because like Ma Xiaojun played by Xia Yu, Milan played by Tranquility also fascinated them all of a sudden. Especially the moment Milan came out of the water, the serene smile was lovely and full of temptation, and it was beautiful.
Although the youth in the movie are not their own, they really see their youth, because Gu Yu and they are also walking in such a sunny day......
Youth on a sunny day, sticky and restless, dull and narcissistic, the sun is shining, but it feels always covered with a layer of fog, like all the hazy and restless desires and imaginations of Ma Xiaojun...... In the movie, the plump Milan climbs up from the pool, which can be described as a hibiscus out of the water.
At the moment, Hu Jingjing, who asked Gu Yu to teach her to swim, is also very plump.
When learning to swim, Hu Jingjing often delicately learns the small action of biting her lower lip in the movie, which is very provocative in the eyes of an adolescent boy......
But at four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was having fun, but Gu Yu was about to leave:
"Brothers, senior sisters, I have something else to do, I have to withdraw first, you guys play slowly!"
"Ah, I haven't learned it yet, Gu Yu, are you leaving?" Hu Jingjing looked disappointed.
"I'm so sorry, we'll play together next time we have a chance."
……
After leaving the Battleship Street swimming pool, Gu Yu rode the permanent brand 28 bar bicycle of the "meat ball" and hurried home.
Before going home, Gu Yu first went to the Xihe Farmers' Market to inquire about the turtle market.
In the early 90s, due to the popularity of soft-shelled turtles, some people in China have begun to artificially breed soft-shelled turtles on a large scale.
However, the quality of artificially farmed soft-shelled turtles is still very different from that of wild ones.
In the market, artificially bred soft-shelled turtles are sold for 100 to 150 yuan a catty.
The wild soft-shelled turtle is sold for 300 yuan a catty, and the texture is not as good as the alpine turtle in Gu Yu's hand......
After some inquiry, Gu Yu probably had a bottom in his heart.
When I got home, my grandmother was already cooking dinner on the coal stove at the door.
At present, the old community of Hutong Street where Gu Yu and his family live has not yet been connected to the pipeline gas, and their grandmother is reluctant to use liquefied gas, and they are still used to cooking on a coal stove.
Seeing Gu Yu go out with two heavy plastic buckets, grandma said strangely: "Xiaoyu, what are you going to do?" ”
"Go to Xihe Street to set up a stall to sell yellow eels for money......"
Grandma found a hat to wear on Gu Yu's head, and said distressedly: "On such a hot day, wear a hat and go out, shade the sun, and be careful of heat stroke." Xiaoyu, if you can't sell it, come back early! ”
"Got it, grandma, don't worry."
Carrying yellow eels and soft-shelled turtles, he came to the door of the Xihe Farmers' Market, and Gu Yu first bought a dozen special plastic bags for aquatic products with one dollar.
Then he found a piece of brown paper and wrote on it:
Alpine wild rhubarb eel, two 12 yuan;
Alpine wild turtle, 280 yuan/catty.
Then I came to Xihe Street at the entrance of the Xihe Farmers' Market and began to set up stalls to sell.
Around half past five in the afternoon, it was the rush hour for getting off work.
During this time, Xihe Street begins to be lively, and people who get off work like to take a detour here to buy some food to go home.
There is a canal dug in the Sui and Tang dynasties on the side of Xihe Street to connect the suburbs of the city, and in the past, the most boats and river ports in this area belonged to the river ports, and it was through these river ports that the peasants who came from the countryside could walk around the city and feel the long-lost liveliness.
It is also naturally a good place for suburban farmers to go to the city to sell agricultural and sideline products.
The prosperity brought by the traffic arteries has also made the area around Xihe Street an important commercial port.
These boats come and go, and the sound of oars, machines, shouting, and shouting are all kinds of sounds, bringing a lively scene to the area around Xihe Street.
A dazzling array of vegetable stalls, fragrant cooked food stalls, and people buying vegetables one after another, shouting and selling one after another......
Let the Xihe Street in front of you be full of the smell of fireworks.
Gu Yu, carrying wild alpine yellow eels and soft-shelled turtles, appeared on Xihe Street and quickly attracted people's attention.
In the early 80s, a famous saying of a great man: "Some regions and some people can get rich first, and lead and help other regions and other people to gradually achieve common prosperity." Minghai City, a thousand-year-old port city in the coastal area, has regained its youthful vitality, and a large number of wealthy "10,000 households" have sprung up in the city.
After the wealthy people in Minghai City became rich, they began to pay attention to the quality of life, especially in terms of food.
It's rare to see such a large wild alpine eel and soft-shelled turtle at the West River Street Farmers' Market. The city of Minghai is surrounded by plains, and the most common fish here are crucian carp and grass carp, as well as various seafood in the sea.
Soon, a middle-aged woman in pajamas came to Gu Yu with a vegetable basket and asked, "Xiao Wei, how do you sell this yellow eel?" ”
"Auntie, two 12 yuan are written on it."
"So expensive? Two yellow eels cost ten dollars. Cheaper? ”
"This aunt, can't be cheap. Now the alpine yellow eel is very caught, such a big yellow eel is about four or five taels, and two are almost a catty. In the farmers' market, the yellow eel is sold for 15 yuan a catty......"
"It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
Gu Yu shook his head.
"It's really expensive...... the middle-aged woman muttered a few times, seeing that Gu Yu refused to be cheap, so she went home.
The woman in the pajamas had just left, and suddenly a Santana 2000 bridge car stopped on the side of the road next to Gu Yu's stall.
Then a middle-aged couple got out of the car.
