Chapter 73 Guess
"It's not about selling fish, it's about selling long fish."
Lu Xiangge pretended not to know that Doctor Xie was trying to trick her, and continued, "My father doesn't go to the river to fish. He goes to the river to catch fish."
"oh?"
Dr. Xie put down the pen in his hand and asked with interest. "No wonder your father doesn't go fishing in Hong Lake. It turns out that he is catching long fish. I heard that these long fish are not easy to catch. Your father is quite good."
"That's right, my dad is really awesome."
Speaking of her father's fish, Lu Xiangge was so excited, "My father didn't catch fish, he made an eel cage, which is a bamboo cage with barbs inside. He put it in the water at night and woke it up in the morning.
, if the fish goes in, it can’t come out.”
Probably because he was talking about how powerful his father was, the boy who was still standing politely knelt down on one knee on the stool opposite Dr. Xie, pressed his arms on the table, straightened his body and continued talking with excitement.
"Doctor Xie, you don't know, that eel cage is a good thing. It can catch long fish and loach. That's right, long fish is valuable, but loach is not. But, my family sells long fish to Lai Fushun, Lai Fu
Shopkeeper Li from Shun also said that if there are a lot of loaches, he will also take them, but the price will be lower."
"If it's less, just be less. No matter how little it is, it's still more expensive than that miscellaneous fish. Besides, these loach and long fish are not easy to die, and they can be raised for a few days. Unlike fish, they can't be raised with water even if they are caught."
Dead fish are worth less and it is not as cost-effective as catching long fish and loaches."
“Dr.
Build a house and save money for me and Xiao Wu to find a wife."
When it comes to finding a wife for himself, Lu Xiaosi is not absolutely ashamed, but rather complacent, “My father said that as long as we have land and a house, we can find a good wife for Xiaowu and me, so we don’t have to float on the water every day.
"
"really."
Doctor Xie took the wet handkerchief on the side and wiped the ink on his palm over and over again, "Who did your father learn this skill from? I've never heard of him making eel cages before?"
"Follow me."
Lu Xiangge pointed to his nose shamelessly, "That day, my third sister, my third sister, and sister Yao Yao went to the river beach to dig wild vegetables and caught a snake. But it was so big that we divided it between our families and cooked half a pot. Doctor Xie,
That snake was delicious. I thought, if there is a cage placed near the water, the snake can get in by itself. My dad said he would make two for me, but the snake was not caught.
I caught a long fish..."
This was what the Lu family had said a long time ago. When someone asked where the eel cage came from, they just said this.
It is common for country children to catch snakes in the wild, and it is not uncommon.
Lu Quan is also very handy. It can only be said that it was luck that he made an eel trap and caught a long fish by chance.
Doctor Xie nodded with a smile: "You and your son are very lucky. This is good news for good people. Didn't your father go out to catch long fish again early in the morning, so he allowed you and your mother to go back and forth?"
"No, my father didn't go to catch the long fish today. It was me, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, and they who went to catch the eel cage. My father, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, and the others went to the Guanyin Temple early in the morning. They said they were going to chop bamboo and came back to teach me. Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, and they.
Let’s make eel cages together, and then there will be a lot of long fish on our wild dock, which can be sold for more copper coins.”
“Dr.
I will never charge you more."
"By the way, Doctor Xie, my father said that the long fish is a good thing. Eating it can nourish people and give them strength. You are a doctor, why don't you tell me what are the benefits of eating this long fish? Then my father
When I went to Lai Fushun to sell eels, I followed him, and I also talked to shopkeeper Li, maybe shopkeeper Li could give him some more money."
"Shopkeeper Li from Lai Fushun..."
The little guy spoke like a thunderbolt, with a crisp voice. In one breath, she had already woven an eel cage from her father and caught a long fish. She had already talked to Dr. Xie about shopkeeper Li from Lai Fushun. Every time she followed her father or mother to Lai Fushun.
When she sells long fish, shopkeeper Li gives her snacks.
As she said that, she licked her mouth and said with a look of endless aftertaste, "But Shopkeeper Li is good, and so is Doctor Xie. My father said that Doctor Xie and old Doctor Xie are both good people.
Doctor Xie, who originally wanted to talk nonsense, was amused by Lu Shege.
This kid has something in his words.
If Lu Xiaosi hadn't said that shopkeeper Li of Fushun would give him snacks and glanced at the medicine cabinet a few times, he wouldn't have reacted. The kid wanted to ask him for food.
As a doctor who opens a pharmacy, what good food can he have?
Cursing in his heart, Doctor Xie went to the medicine cabinet and grabbed a handful of red dates and dried hawthorn. After thinking about it, he added some licorice and a few pieces of dried yellow peel.
"Here are these for you. You can finish chewing them when you get home. But don't eat too much."
"Thank you, doctor."
Lu Xiangge happily took the paper package handed over by Doctor Xie and held it in his arms cheerfully, "Doctor Xie, are you okay? I have to go back without me. My mother is still waiting for me in front."
Doctor Xie smiled and waved: "Go, go."
"Hey, Doctor Xie, I'm leaving then."
Lu Xiangge said and turned around. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and tell Doctor Xie: "Doctor Xie, I'm going back then. If you want to eat fish, shrimp or grow fish, just ask someone to send me a message. I promise to catch them alive for you."
.”
As he spoke, the person had already stepped out of the door and ran up the stone street.
"This boy."
Doctor Xie shook his head with a smile, and his face slowly sank as he watched Lu Shengge jumping and running away.
In just a moment, Qiu had already disappeared.
However, Lu Xiangge was not in a hurry, and her pace slowed down after she was out of Doctor Xie's sight.
Doctor Xie's question today was really strange. Did the man her father saved go to his house to say thank you?
He also asked what his father did when he went to the creek every night?
There are many small rivers around Jiangjiaba, most of which pass through the town. Because Lu Quan has to avoid the big guys at the dock, he goes to different places every day. It is not easy to meet Lu Quan in the river.
But even so, Dr. Xie still knew that her father did not go to Honghu Lake to set the net every day but went to the river to fish.
It seems that Dr. Xie should have sent someone to keep an eye on Ye Pier.
It's just that the person he sent probably didn't dare to show up at the dock, so he didn't know what Lu Quan did when he went to the river every day.
Why is Dr. Xie staring at Ye Pier and her father?
Because of the Hongying army who was rescued by Lu Quan?
Could it be?
When she and her father sent the person to Tutu Temple, Doctor Xie did not receive him. That's why he suspected that the person was brought back by the father and his son, so the director of the pavilion went to Ye Pier to search.
So, was it Dr. Xie’s instigation for the pavilion chief to come to Ye Pier to search?
It didn't look like it. That day, the director of the pavilion only looked at the door of her cabin and then left with the people.
The more Lu Sheige thought about it, the more confused he became, and he simply gave up thinking about it.
He touched the snacks from Lai Fushun in his arms and the red dates given by Doctor Xie, and then touched the maltose in his armhole.
Go back and share these with some sisters, they must be very happy.
