On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, snow began to fall in the sky.

In the morning, before the sky was completely bright, on the wharf of the Mengjia Fishing Ground, an old fishing boat slowly drove out of the shore in the wind and snow.

Meng Jiangxi looked at Meng Li, who was sitting at the fish hatch and netting fish, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

I haven't seen him all night, and the feeling that this little guy gives him has changed a lot.

Did you break through?

Meng Jiangxi had doubts, but he didn't ask, rowing vigorously, and soon came to the dock closest to the water town.

As the local fish king, Meng Jiangxi's boat is as famous as his people, and before the boat docks, someone waved to him from afar.

For those friendly condolences, Meng Jiangxi waved his hand one by one, and when he got closer, he naturally couldn't avoid a greeting.

In the midst of the noise, the fishing boat approached the dock.

Meng Li landed ashore, rented a flatbed truck with a familiar car, loaded 500 catties of fish and shrimp, and immediately rushed to the town of Lianshui after separating from Meng Jiangxi.

From here to the water town, but eight or nine miles of road, Meng Li has not walked more than once, he is quite familiar with the road conditions, with a strong foot effort, within a moment, he came to the water town.

In the past two years, Meng Li has traveled back and forth to Shui Town hundreds of times, almost every seven or eight days, he has to come once. I can't be more familiar with the town by the water.

By water by water, by water by water.

As a town rich in fresh water resources, the fish and shrimp produced by the water town every month are almost not less than 10,000 catties. Not to mention the distant cities, let's just say that within the boundary of Xizhou, one of the two main cities, Jieshui City, eighty percent of the aquatic products come from here.

The huge amount of fish trading came into being, and it was the fish market in the water town.

At first, the fish market was just a spontaneous market, but it grew bigger and bigger, and gradually gained scale.

The fish market in the water town is not far from the town, it is an open-air market, and you can smell the fishy smell of fish and shrimp from a distance before you get closer.

As soon as Meng Li entered the water town, he went straight into the fish market, approaching the end of the year, the fish market was very lively, but there were more people selling fish than buyers, Meng Li sat for a morning, and only sold less than 100 catties.

"It's not okay to go on like this!"

After eating the dry food he brought at noon, Meng Li glanced at the remaining fish and shrimp in the car and frowned.

Prices are soaring at this time, and there are not many people who can eat a meal of fish at this time and are willing to pay, and the fish he sells in a morning is less than one-fifth of the total, at this rate, he will definitely not be able to sell it before the New Year.

Meng Li glanced at his peers who were also ugly, and his careful thoughts in his heart couldn't help but come alive.

"It seems that we can only seek foreign help!"

Get up, push, and walk out of the fish market.

Standing on the crowded street, Meng Li fell into deep thought again.

The best choice is, of course, Li Qifeng, but he can guarantee that as long as he dares to push this cart of fish to the Li Mansion, Li Qifeng will definitely hold his big sword and drive him around the streets.

Just when Meng Li was in a dilemma, a figure who happened to pass by the fish market suddenly stopped beside him.

I heard the man whisper, "Huh, isn't this Brother Meng?"

Met an acquaintance?

Meng Li, who heard the voice, quickly raised his head, his eyes swept towards the figure, and his face showed a look of understanding, he really knew this person.

"Wang Ergou of the unjust thief?"

Meng Li first met Wang Ergou in Mengjia Village, and there was no such thing as an unfair thief at that time.

Wang Ergou has always wanted to be like Zhang Song and become a catcher, but his qualifications did not meet the conditions, and he failed to pass the exam several times. Then, Wang Ergou, who was forced to make a living, established the Unfair Thief.

The Unfair Thieves are a small force with the nature of a gang, mainly selling intelligence, which can be regarded as giving full play to Wang Ergou's well-informed expertise.

Meng Li and Li Qifeng have been wanted by the imperial court several times before, and once they sought clues, that is, they were looking for an unfair thief.

For Wang Ergou, Meng Li has a very deep impression, this is a man who always wants to go to the rivers and lakes, has a great sense of justice, and wants to do chivalry and righteousness in his dreams. It's a pity that the ability is insufficient, and there are more than 20 people, and in the end they can only nest in this poor country.

The recent deeds of Meng Li and Li Qifeng, Wang Ergou has heard about them through his own special channels, and he admires and envies them in his heart.

He looked at Meng Li, his eyes lit up and said: "When I first saw Brother Meng, I felt that the little brother was extraordinary, not an ordinary person, but now it seems that I am really not mistaken." ”

was slapped on the back for some reason, which made Meng Li a little confused, looked at Wang Ergou's excited face, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Brother Wang?"

"No! no!" Wang Ergou hurriedly waved his hand and said righteously: "I just think that Brother Meng has done a lot of feats recently, and he has done great things for the people. ”

Although Meng Li's feats in the past two years have not been able to leave a name in history, they are enough to leave a name on the list for the local chronicles compiled by the Shuizhen County Government alone.

Wang Ergou knows his ability, since he can't be a hero, he still has to fight for the local name.

Wang Ergou was able to meet Meng Li this time, it was a pure accident, but since he did, he couldn't let go of this opportunity, since he was able to get rid of Hu Fei in the famous earthquake of one city, two towns and seventeen villages yesterday, who would have thought that he would be able to do anything tomorrow?

This opportunity must not be missed!

Wang Ergou's eyes widened and he looked at Meng Li worriedly, what he didn't expect was that the latter actually agreed.

Meng Li could guess something about Wang Ergou's thoughts, although he had another purpose, he didn't mind. And he has one thing now, and he urgently needs Wang Ergou's help.

Meng Li pointed to the flatbed truck in front of him that was loaded with fish and shrimp, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wang is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he should be a model for my generation, so this requirement is naturally not a problem, but I am a fish and shrimp, you see if you can help me find some ways." ”

Solving the batch of fish and shrimp in front of him is Meng Li's top priority, and it is much more important than eliminating harm in the name of anything, otherwise, he is still waiting for him to take the money back to the old Uncle Meng, and if he is angry, he will be eliminated first.

Wang Ergou smiled, glanced at the fish and shrimp in the car that were chilled with ice cubes, patted his chest and said, "What's so difficult about this, leave it to my brother and I'll solve it for you in minutes." ”

Seeing Wang Ergou's confident appearance, Meng Li's eyes lit up and said, "Brother, do you really have a way?"

Wang Ergou said with a smile: "Your fish and shrimp are all fresh and good, not even inferior to the top goods on the market, and many big restaurants will rush to buy them." ”

Meng Li slapped his forehead and said with annoyance: "Why didn't I think of it." ”

Whether it's selling fish or running errands, you must find the right way, and with the right goal, everything will be simpler.

One afternoon, Wang Ergou took Meng Li to three restaurants, and in the end, he only sold 300 catties of fish and shrimp.

Looking at the only 100 catties of fish and shrimp left in the car, Wang Ergou's face was bitter, he never thought that the restaurant in an entire town could not even digest 400 catties of fish.

"I was negligent and forgot that during the Chinese New Year, few people came to the restaurant to eat. ”

The place they turned to just now was the only three restaurants that could open.

Meng Li comforted: "It's okay, I'm already very satisfied to be able to sell these." ”

Wang Ergou's performance today, Meng Li has already seen it, and it can indeed be called the words "do your best", which made Meng Li very moved.

As for the remaining 100 catties of fish and shrimp, Meng Li plans to try his luck at the fish market, and if he is lucky, it will be almost the same tomorrow morning.

Wang Ergou was obviously unwilling to give up, twisted his brows, and pondered: "Perhaps, we have another way. ”

"What way?" Hearing that there was still a turning point, Meng Li showed a surprised look. There are really a lot of ways for this Wang Ergou.

Wang Ergou said: "We can go to the martial arts hall to try our luck." ”

Can you also sell fish in the martial arts hall?

Meng Li's expression suddenly became very exciting.

"You're not trying to let them digest internally, are you?"

Meng Li also did this kind of thing once. As a result, he was comfortable, but Li Qifeng ......

Every time I see him, I don't give him a good face.

"This is not good!" Meng Li thought about it, he felt a little embarrassed, he had no friendship with the martial arts hall, is it a bit shameless to let the family help like this?

"Misunderstanding!" Wang Ergou waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not to sell it to the martial arts hall, but to let the martial arts hall sell it on behalf of you, to be precise, it is to make selling fish a task and hang it in the martial arts hall." ”

"You can still do this!" Meng Li's eyes widened, and he was amazed.

The way for a martial arts gym to survive is to keep taking tasks, and if you take the task, you must complete it.

The martial arts hall has the rules of the martial arts hall, just like the laws of the country, and it is not okay to be sloppy at all.

Among the tasks taken by the martial arts hall, the tasks issued by ordinary people account for a full ninety percent, which is the main source of income for the martial arts hall.

The task of selling fish is not difficult, and they should be interested. But in this way, won't his income be reduced?

For the ordinary tasks released by the people, the martial arts hall usually takes between two and fifty percent, even if the task of selling fish is simple enough, only two percent of the profit is extracted, which is enough to make Meng Wei feel pain.

Before leaving the village, he had made a package ticket with Meng Jiangxi, promising to bring back a lot of the money from selling fish, and now he has to take 20% of the 100 catties of fish, and he has to make up for this money himself.

Sure enough, you can brag about anything, but you can't brag!

Fortunately, this money is not too big, and Meng Li, who has received a reward for two years, is not unable to take it.

Gritting his teeth, Meng Li turned his heart sideways and decided to be generous.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to enjoy your rights, you have to give something. Exchanging money for time doesn't seem worth it, but in fact?

It varies from person to person!

After making a decision in their hearts, the two pushed the flatbed cart to the Shui Wu Pavilion, fortunately, it was the cold winter season, and after nearly a day, the fish and shrimp on the car were still fresh.

Relying on the Water Martial Arts Pavilion, Meng Li has only been here once, and that time was two years ago. However, Wang Ergou, since the establishment of the uneven thief, because of the sale of intelligence, often go back and forth between the government and the martial arts hall, for him, in and out of the martial arts hall, it is like entering the house.

Wang Ergou volunteered and led Meng Li into the martial arts hall, but for some reason, today's martial arts hall was empty.
