Chapter 66: Selling Fish
Sixty-eight octopus sells fish
The boatman, Lao Yutou, didn't care about the addition of a guest on the ship, after all, there was no saying in the terms of Shang Ji that the three of them would not be allowed to carry others.
But a strange old man with a sword in his head leaned on the stern of the boat to bask in the sun, and he basked in the sun for a day, but he couldn't bear to make the old man's head a little unbearable. I wanted to communicate with the first three several times, but I saw that the three of them were asleep and never got up.
Of course he wouldn't know that Fang Zhan and the three of them couldn't get rid of this strange old man last night. Old Man Yun, Fang Zhan, and Shang Ke were crammed into the same room, and the snoring of this night was not much different from a small-scale earthquake.
Li Xuanyi was next door, and he was affected by the pond fish, so he was not spared. In addition, she slept very lightly, and she hardly fell asleep that night.
It's good now, Old Man Yun stayed at the stern of the boat comfortably, basking in the sun, looking at the river, it's okay, he gently tapped the hilt of the sword with his fingers, and he was as comfortable as he wanted. The only old man who survived was supervised by Old Man Yun and stared at for a whole day. So he originally looked at Old Man Yun as a monster, but now he always feels that when Old Man Yun is looking at him, he is also looking at a monster.
Time passed little by little, and Lao Yutou simply didn't look at him, out of sight and out of mind.
Until the sun set in the west, the three of them stretched their waists one by one, yawned, and finally woke up. After waking up, Li Xuanyi and Shang Ke were both glaring at Fang Zhan angrily.
Fang Zhan smiled: "It's a star, and it's bad to stare again." ”
Li Xuanyi snuggled up to him and whispered: "What should I do, this is still two days away from Qionghua Prefecture by water, what should I do at night?"
Shang Ke was also staring at Fang Zhan on the side, with a look of grievance.
Fang Zhan thought for a while and said, "It's easy to do! When you stay in the hotel at night, open another room for him, drive farther away, and it will be solved!"
Li Xuanyi blinked, pretended to agree, and said softly: "Well, it's really a good way." That...... Where's the money?
Fang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shang Ke with a smile, Shang Ke hurriedly turned his head, looked at the river, and said, "Look, this water is really clear!"
Fang Zhan retracted his gaze, got up, stood up straight, and said what he thought was the most majestic words: "The three of us are out!"
Shang Ke muttered, "Why is this water a little muddy?"
Li Xuanyi turned around, also looking at Jiang Shui, and said, "My dowry!"
Fang Zhan had a smile on his face, leaned over to Shang Ke's side, and said something that made both of them roar: "Shang Ke doesn't want a dowry! ”
Old man Yun rubbed in front of him, picked his nostrils, and said, "Girl, what are we going to eat at night?"
Li Xuanyi squeezed out a smile and said, "Old man, what do you want to eat?"
Old man Yun hurriedly said: "Fish, big fish!"
Li Xuanyi smiled bitterly: "Okay, fish, big ...... Fish. ”
Fang Zhan sat there, suddenly his head flashed, walked to the stern of the boat, talked to Lao Yutou for a long time, and then returned to the front, straightened his waist: "Money!
Shang Ke and Li Xuanyi looked at him blankly, and Li Xuanyi said, "Well, you come out, okay, you come out." After speaking, he suddenly got up and rushed towards Fang Zhan: "I'll call you out! I'll call you out!"
Old Man Yun was still picking his nostrils, and he watched with a smile as Li Xuanyi threw Fang Zhan down on the board of the boat and beat him violently. Shang Ke turned his head, covered his eyes, and laughed secretly.
The old man at the stern of the boat shouted: "It's noisy! It's a good day! Can you stop for a while." When you get up, you can pinch it, and it's better to fall asleep all the time. ”
The river reverberated with the sound of laughter that could not be contained.
When he arrived at the place where the water in front of him was relatively slow, Fang Zhan straightened his waist and said, "Hmph! Stay on it until something flies up, remember to put it away!"
Li Xuanyi and Shang Ke looked at each other, then turned around and looked at Old Man Yun with a blank expression.
Lao Yutou lowered the speed of the boat and slowly moved along the river.
After a while, suddenly a large carp jumped out of the river and flew directly to the boat. Li Xuanyi and Shang Ke looked at it, they were stunned at first, and immediately looked excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold down the big carp.
Old Yu Tou shouted even louder: "Open the water storage tank, put it inside, and then store some water inside." Shang Ke immediately opened the deck of Chu Shui's warehouse, saw that there was still a little water stored inside, put the fish in, and Li Xuanyi began to use a wooden basin to draw water into it.
Immediately afterwards, the second fish flew up again, and this time, Shang Ke and Li Xuanyi were excited. Old man Yun was happy to see it and came over to help.
Then there was one tail after another, and there were fish flying up, and each one was rare to exceed ten or twenty catties. For a while, except for Lao Yutou, who was supporting the boat, the other three people were all busy. He who catches fish, he who puts fish releases, and he who stores water. Each of them is very busy.
The river was suddenly filled with busy and cheerful laughter.
After only a while, I heard Li Xuanyi shouting: "It's full, it's full, it's almost nowhere to go." ”
Old Yutou excitedly shouted at Jiang Mian: "Finish it! Call it a day!"
A figure broke through the water on the river, Fang Zhan made a grimace at the two of them in the air, and then one turned over and landed on the bow of the boat lightly and skillfully, shaking the water while saying, "Rich! Rich! Hahaha! You say, I have no money!"
Old man Yun smiled a little stupidly: "Hehe, there is fish to eat!"
Shang Ke and Li Xuanyi surrounded him, and Li Xuanyi glared at him: "Why don't you hurry up!"
Shang Ke said with a smile: "In the future, I will take you wherever I go!"
Fang Zhan gently scratched the tip of Li Xuanyi's nose with his fingers and said, "Sell fish!"
Old Yu Tou found a nearby ferryman, told them that a few of them were waiting for him on the boat, and went to the buyer.
It didn't take long to see more than a dozen people coming to the shore at once, and Lao Yutou walked in front, holding a scale in his hand, talking and laughing at the people behind him as he walked.
So, all of a sudden, several people began to get busy again. Those who catch fish from inside the cabin catch fish, those who weigh fish, and those who collect money collect money. After a lot of hard work, I finally sold out a whole cabin of fish.
Li Xuanyi held the silver tael in his hand, checked it, and said with a smile: "The harvest is very big!" picked the largest silver tael, handed it to Lao Yutou, and said, "Old boatman, your share." ”
Old Yu smiled and said busily: "Too much! too much." ”
Shang Ke couldn't help asking, "Daddy Yu, how did you find the buyer?
Old Yu Tou smiled and said, "I have traveled all my life, and the inn on this shore is the most familiar. These inns are more or less in contact with those better restaurants, and when it comes to saying that there are so many big fish, hehe, the procurement of those restaurants is more anxious than me. Naturally it's fast. ”
Li Xuanyi took the silver taels by himself, counted them there, Fang Zhan smiled and said: "Don't count, it's all yours, you can keep it!"
Li Xuanyi smiled: "It's the best sentence!"
Old Yu Tou said with a smile: "The price of this fish is also reasonable, more than three times higher than the usual ordinary size fish, fortunately, the shopkeepers of these inns are familiar with each other, and they will not lose you." ”
Li Xuanyi smiled: "Continue tomorrow!"
Shang Ke leaned over to her and whispered, "Are you still here?"
Li Xuanyi smiled lightly: "It's also ha, then the day after tomorrow!"
Shang Ke looked at Fang Zhan helplessly, Fang Zhan smiled: "As long as you don't chase me, it's easy to say anything." ”
On this night, the three of them pulled Lao Yutou ashore and feasted on it. The old man returned to the boat after eating, and the old man had been frugal all his life, and he was reluctant to spend that money to stay in the inn. As for the shopkeeper who is familiar with the inn, it is also because he usually needs to introduce the guests to the place to live when the boat is sailing, and those shopkeepers see him, just like seeing the God of Wealth.
Fang Zhan said to the innkeeper that he had found a relatively secluded guest room for Old Man Yun, and he should not disturb the others, at least not the three of them.
For a few days, Ya'er seemed to have disappeared, and she never spoke to Fang Zhan. Fang Zhan couldn't help but wonder, lying on the bed at night, and said to Ya'er in his heart: "Ya'er, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you come to talk to me in the past few days? Is the fish delicious tonight? I don't think Sanniang has made it as delicious." ”
It took a long time for Ya'er to say, "I only want to ask you, why don't you take Chu Suili with you?"
Fang Zhan was stunned for a moment and said, "It turns out that you didn't talk to me for this." After thinking about it, he said, "Then what do you say I'm for?"
Ya'er sighed: "I don't know. How could I guess what your eldest prince Fang was thinking. ”
Fang Zhan said: "Ya'er, I'm going to Beijing this time, do you think those four will really let me go with confidence?"
Ya'er thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. ”
"So, my dad can't really be at home by himself, I'm really not at ease. Is that okay?"
"But those four also have to take care of your father's safety, don't they? They not only have to protect you, but also your father!"
"Ya'er, my father's safety doesn't allow me to gamble! Fang Zhan said this, and said: "Chu Suili's ability, I saw it with my own eyes, I can rest assured that he is here!"
"Then why don't you take your dad with you?"
"I've got to deal with things on my own, just in case, I mean, if I'm dealing with something related to my mother, my dad is here, I'm going to be distracted, I'm going to tie my hands and feet. ”
"Your mother's business, there is no eyebrows yet, how do you know that you will face it. Besides, didn't you go to Beijing to take part in the martial arts test? Don't you go? Do you have other plans?"
Fang Zhan thought for a while: "I don't have a plan, I will participate in the martial arts test, I have my head broken, and I can't think of anything that can be related to my mother." You can only walk and see it step by step. ”
"So you're going to keep that old man Yun?"
Old man Yun said two words, first, he said that he was very kind to Xuanyi, as if he had seen it somewhere. Second, he said that Xuanyi's palm seemed familiar. I don't know, and I'm not sure, I think this old man Yun seems to have something to do with Xuanyi. If it really has anything to do with Xuanyi, it may indirectly have something to do with my mother. ”
The buds were silent.
Fang Zhan said again: "Not angry?"
Ya'er thought for a while: "Don't be angry, you will always have your reasons." I can't argue with you. ”
"Is the fish good tonight?"
In the distance, Old Man Yun's snoring sounded like an endless wisp of green smoke, and it came quietly.
