Chapter 5 The fish is not dead, it is still alive
Originally, Li Yuanjing's plan was:
Tonight, I will net a few more baskets of fish, go home and process them and store them, so as to give Yu Niang enough security, so that she doesn't have to work so hard, and he will go to find a real profitable business.
But tonight's arrest of this big catfish directly disrupted Li Yuanjing's plan.
Fortunately, Li Yuanjing was ready to install a big one for small fish. The sack came in handy at this time, otherwise, the two of them really wouldn't have been able to get this big fish home.
returned home with difficulty all the way, closed the courtyard door, whether it was Li Yuanjing or Yu Niang, they were soaked with sweat.
But the two looked at each other, especially at the big catfish and the dozens of large and small fish in the two small fish baskets, and they couldn't help but smile.
The two also began to have some kind of tacit understanding for the first time.
But.
Yu Niang was about to help Li Yuanjing to rest on the soil kang for a while, but Li Yuanjing got up smartly and said:
"Yu Niang, it's going to be time soon, and the sky will be bright in another hour, I have to go to the county seat and sell this big catfish."
"You stay at home today, I'll help you lock the door, don't open the door unless I come back!"
"Brother, why don't you go with you, this black light blind ......"
Yu Niang was obviously worried about Li Yuanjing, and what else was going to say, but Li Yuanjing directly patted her little man on the waist and said:
"Why, don't you even listen to your brother? My brother tried to come back for dinner before dark. ”
"Brother......
…
Bluff Yu Niang.
Li Yuanjing tied the sack containing the big catfish with a circle of rope, and then put it on the chicken bus left by Li Laoshi to tie it firmly, and rushed to the county seat overnight.
Although Quanzi Village is about 30 miles away from Fengcheng County, the county seat, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it usually takes at least half a day to walk.
But Li Yuanjing has been studying in the county school all these years, and he is very familiar with the distance between and out, and he also knows several unknown trails, which can just bypass the bandits' key territory near the official road.
This one comes.
At about the end of the morning, at about nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yuanjing came to the county seat of Fengcheng smoothly.
Maybe it was the little lady of Yu Niang who gave Li Yuanjing countless sources of strength, even though Li Yuanjing was covered in sweat, he didn't feel tired at all.
And.
I don't know if it's a crossing relationship, Li Yuanjing faintly feels that his physical literacy is subtly improving.
Soon.
Li Yuanjing came to the Nancheng Market near the county school.
At this time, the big market is busy.
After all.
At this time, there was a city gate ban, and the purchase of restaurants could not be as early as later generations.
Li Yuanjing pushed the chicken bus around the lively crowd, and he already had a count of the prices in Fengcheng County.
At this time.
Pork is about 45 wen a catty, fish and shrimp are about 20 wen, and other white rice, wheat, brown rice, and millet also have their own prices, and they are relatively stable.
And two pennies, that is, two copper plates, can buy a child's fist-sized vegetable stuffed buns.
Perhaps because of the remote location of Fengcheng County, the chaos of the Daqian Dynasty has not yet spread here, and the overall situation here is quite stable.
Li Yuanjing observed this for a while, and went to find the largest fresh food stall in the family.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect fish? I have a fish to sell you. ”
Li Yuanjing smiled and greeted this sharp-beaked monkey cheek, who was very shrewd at a glance.
If he could have a choice, Li Yuanjing would not be willing to deal with this shopkeeper.
How.
After all, Fengcheng County is only a small place, and the other fresh food stalls in this big market are very small, and it is basically impossible to eat Li Yuanjing's big catfish.
"You want to sell fish?"
"What kind of fish? Let's talk about it first. ”
The shopkeeper looked Li Yuanjing up and down, and saw that although Li Yuanjing was a little bookish, he was dressed in tatters, and he also knew it in his heart, and his voice was already high.
Li Yuanjing naturally understands that this shopkeeper has to take care of himself.
It's a pity that Li Yuanjing has no other choice.
However, he didn't plan to make a fortune by fishing, and directly opened the big . The sack revealed the dark and domineering body of the big catfish inside.
"I'm here, it's such a big fish."
"Oh my God, I've lived for more than forty years, and it's the first time I've seen such a big fish."
"What kind of fish is this, why is it so big? I'm afraid I'm going to become a sperm. This guy was lucky to catch this kind of fish. ”
As the domineering figure of this big catfish was revealed, a large group of people quickly gathered around, all of whom were amazed.
Many people really see such a big fish for the first time in their lives.
The shopkeeper's little mouse eyes couldn't help but glow.
Heart:
'Today is really blessed by the Buddha, and he should make a windfall. ’
But when he turned to look at Li Yuanjing, his face changed, and he sighed:
"Oh, Housheng, your fish is good, but unfortunately, it's dead, it's worthless."
"Ordinary people collect live fish, all of which are twelve cents a catty. But if you die, you will be given nine texts at most. Still. ”
"For the sake of your next life, it is not easy for you, if you are counted as ten wen a catty, this fish will give you five hundred wen, how about it?"
Li Yuanjing's brows suddenly furrowed.
According to Dakang's practice, one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand Wen.
Li Yuanjing's psychological price is at least one or two silver.
After all.
Even if the price of selling live fish, this big catfish, which weighs more than 50 catties, can be worth one or two silver.
Not to mention that scarcity is expensive.
Who would have thought that this is the same as the shopkeeper carved out of a mold of the mouse spirit in "Gourd Baby", who eats people without spitting out bones.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you're too dark, aren't you? How could you buy this fish for 500 yuan? Don't you bully? ”
"That's it. In the past, people called you Liu Peeling, and I also helped you speak, but now look, you are more ruthless than Peeling......"
"The heart is too dark......"
The surrounding crowd was also agitated.
Apparently.
I can't get used to the black heart of this shopkeeper Liu.
"Huh."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled proudly, ignoring the crowd's discussions, as if he had already eaten Li Yuanjing, and said highly:
"Housheng, don't listen to these foolish nonsense. The fish that I Liu has a fancy only can be received by someone in my Liu. If you don't believe me, try it somewhere else. ”
The surrounding crowd was scolding again, but there was nothing they could do about this shopkeeper Liu.
Apparently.
There's something to do behind this guy.
Li Yuanjing suddenly smiled at this time:
"Shopkeeper, this fish is not dead, it is still alive."
"Live?"
"Fuck your shit!"
"Are you blind when you Liu Ye?"
"Didn't you see this thing covered in blood, I'm afraid it's already dead?"
Shopkeeper Liu said, picked up a wooden stick casually, and slammed it on the big catfish, obviously trying to prove the correctness of his words.
"Alas, my mother is here to ......"
However, the next moment.
The 'dead fish' in the eyes of Shopkeeper Liu, because there was no longer the restriction of the sack, suddenly jumped up more than a meter high, and threw Shopkeeper Liu to the ground with a tail.
Not only scared Shopkeeper Liu to death, but also quickly jumped up in the surrounding muddy soup, splashing mud in shock.
"This, this, this ......"
The surrounding crowd was also dumbfounded, and their jaws dropped again.
How could you have thought of it.
This big catfish is like this, and it can still be so alive.
Li Yuanjing couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
At this time and age, I am afraid that no one understands the vitality of catfish better than him.
Harmless to humans and animals, he said to the frightened shopkeeper Liu:
"Shopkeeper, look, it's really alive, do you want to mention this price again?"
