Chapter 18 Unexpected

It was just getting dark, and Feng Xiaowu rode his old and worn-out Daerba to Zhubantun at lightning speed. He slowly stepped on the foot brake and followed the sliding force to the door of Wang Bo's house. He raised his right leg and jumped into the air.

Standing right at the gate.

Li Zhongxin was very disdainful of Feng Xiaowu's kind of busy work. He was young and had good physical coordination. If he made a mistake, he would fall badly. He often talked about Feng Xiaowu's problem while riding his bicycle.

After all, he was extremely satisfied with Feng Xiaowu as a "special car driver".

Feng Xiaowu has helped him do a lot of things recently. Without Feng Xiaowu's help, the fishing business would never have developed so fast during this period.

After inviting Feng Xiaowu in, Li Zhongxin asked him to fish out four river fish weighing four to five kilograms from the large tank used to store pickled vegetables in the winter at his third uncle's house.

He greeted his third uncle Wang Bo and asked Feng Xiaowu to drive him to Bai Yunpeng's house by bicycle.

He turned around mysteriously, and when he saw no one was around, he took off a big fish weighing four to five pounds from the handlebar, made a high-throwing motion with his arms, and threw the fish directly into Bai Yunpeng's house.

In the yard.

Ignoring Feng Xiaowu's surprised look, Li Zhongxin waved his hand and motioned for Feng Xiaowu to take him away.

When the bicycle entered Jiangcheng and reached the corner of Fufeng Street and Wenjiu Road, Li Zhongxin told Feng Xiaowu to stop the bicycle and wait for him for a while. He wanted to bring a fish as a gift.

In this era, few people give gifts, but there are still many neighbors giving each other some food. Li Zhongxin knew clearly that a river fish would be enough to give Aunt Xie a gift.

Li Zhongxin casually picked a river fish from the handle of his car, walked a few steps quickly, arrived at the door of Lao Xie's house, and knocked directly on the door.

Li Zhongxin has always felt that it is not polite to go back and forth, and it is not polite to go back and forth; it is also not polite to go back and forth.

Thanks to Aunt Shen Chunhua for doing such a big favor for Li Zhongxin and not telling his mother Wang Yaqing that Li Zhongxin had received more than 130 yuan. This was a great gift and he had always been thinking about it!

There happens to be live fish now, so I can send it to Aunt Xie to try, which can be regarded as returning a favor.

What's more, Li Zhongxin has been going to the post office recently to see if there are a lot of monkey tickets for sale!

He believes that establishing a good relationship with Shen Chunhua is definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm.

Li Zhongxin only thought of sending fish to Shen Chunhua when he was about to go home. When he wanted to send a big fish to the Bai family, he thought of Shen Chunhua.

Li Zhongxin was very experienced in giving gifts. When he knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside, he immediately called for Shen Chunhua.

At the door of Xie's house, Li Zhongxin said a few words to Shen Chunhua in a tacit understanding, and then returned home carrying the remaining big fish.

Li Shangyong didn't have much reaction to the fact that Li Zhongxin had been running to Wang Bo recently. He just told Li Zhongxin that he must go home early in the future. It was wrong for children to go home too late.

Thursday came again, and this time Li Zhongxin was not caught. After lunch at home, he found an opportunity to sneak out.

When he came to the post office again, Li Zhongxin felt that the post office was like a hospital in later generations, crowded and overcrowded.

Compared with the deserted post offices of later generations, it is a world of difference.

He found Aunt Xie Shen Chunhua in a familiar way, and after politely saying hello, he asked straight to the point about buying stamps.

Li Zhongxin did not say that he wanted to buy stamps, but took out his third uncle Wang Bo to sell them. He said that his third uncle had made some money from fishing in the recent period, and his brain got hot and he went a little crazy and wanted to buy some. Monkey tickets as collectibles.

Shen Chunhua still valued Li Zhongxin, a sensible child. Not to mention that Li Zhongxin could earn more than 100 yuan in royalties in the third grade of elementary school. Even the two fish he gave to her were already worth it. She helped Li Zhongxin.

Shen Chunhua could see that Li Zhongxin was not short of money now, and he even had live fish in his hands. If he had a good relationship with Li Zhongxin, his son would not have a problem eating fish.

Hearing that Li Zhongxin wanted to buy monkey stamps, Shen Chunhua immediately led Li Zhongxin downstairs and asked Lin Mei, a colleague in charge of stamp management, about the stamps.

When Lin Mei heard that it was Sister Shen's relatives who wanted to buy monkey tickets, she immediately put down what she was doing and went to the post office warehouse behind to help find them.

Lin Mei scoffed at the idea of ​​buying so many monkey tickets at one time.

No one wants those kind of monkey stamps now. Many times, when they are sold at the window, people who post them do not buy them, and they have to exchange them for the most common Great Wall stamps or residential stamps.

In Lin Mei's eyes, this relative of Sister Shen's family must not be very smart.

Li Zhongxin suffered for more than ten minutes before he saw Lin Mei coming from the warehouse holding a full-page monkey ticket and a dozen single monkey tickets.

As Lin Mei walked, she said to Shen Chunhua: "Sister Shen, I looked in the warehouse at the back where the stamps are stored. Now they are all Great Wall stamps and residential stamps. There are only so many monkey stamps. I will get them all for you. ”

Seeing Shen Chunhua taking the stamps, Lin Mei reminded her again seriously: "Sister Shen, let me tell you, these stamps are not valuable. If you want to buy them for postage, I suggest you buy the Great Wall and residential ones. Stamps, everyone recognizes them now."

Damn it! Is there any mistake? There is only one full-page monkey ticket in the main post office, and there are only about twenty loose tickets. Li Zhongxin felt that his brain was a little exhausted.

Could it be that after his rebirth, the development of Monkey Piao has changed.

Li Zhongxin remembered clearly that in 1982, stamp collecting had not yet begun to take off across the country. Monkey stamps were unsaleable items in many places. Suddenly Lin Mei told him that there were only With a full-page monkey ticket, he suddenly felt that his mind was a little confused and a little boring.

After some thanks, Li Zhongxin spent ten yuan, two cents and four cents to buy the only 128 monkey tickets in the Jiangcheng City Post Office.

After Li Zhongxin came out of the post office feeling a little depressed, he did not go home directly. Instead, he went to the place where his third uncle Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo sold fish.

First, Li Zhongxin wanted to see how Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were doing selling fish recently, and second, he wanted to go to the Muslim store to buy some beef.

During the period of his rebirth, Li Zhongxin had been busy with fishing, and he did not dare to spend the money he had. Now that his third uncle Wang Bo was making money selling fish, he could buy anything in the name of his third uncle Wang Bo.

Li Zhongxin took a tour and found that his third uncle, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo, were very professional in selling fish. They could even shout loudly, "Come and take a look!" Fresh pure river fish are cheap, so whoever buys them is suitable.

There are only a few left. If you don't buy it, there won't be any left today.

Li Zhongxin raised the corner of his mouth, patted Wang Bo on the shoulder and said, "Is it very good? Third uncle, you are getting better and better at selling fish now!"

Seeing that Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were familiar with hawking, Li Zhongxin was very happy and even praised Wang Bo. However, before Li Zhongxin's happiness had passed, Wang Bo's next words almost made him angry.

"My nephew is here! We must have a way to sell fish." Wang Bo replied to Li Zhongxin and smiled complacently: "When we sell fish, we must be open-minded, full of enthusiasm, and show our sincerity.

Come out. I listened to what you said about selling fish."

Wang Bo's expression was quite serious when he spoke, as if he had shown his sincerity.

However, hearing Li Zhongxin's ears, Li Zhongxin even had the feeling that he would go to Dongguan in the future.

What we sell must be liberal, my third uncle! What are you selling? What should we be liberal about?

Such a sentence seems to come from the mouths of those dedicated ladies.

Li Zhongxin's forehead was filled with countless black lines, and he thought depressingly, "It's me who said it. How could I say something so incompetent?"

After buying two kilograms of beef ribs and a Fuliji roasted chicken, he told his third uncle Wang Bo to bring Feng Xiaowu, who had come here to collect money in the evening, to have dinner at home.

And you must remember that he bought these two kilograms of beef and roasted chicken because he asked Li Zhongxin to take them back and cook them early.

After Li Zhongxin arrived at home, he took out the beef ribs and roasted chicken and told his great-grandmother and great-grandfather that his third uncle had bought beef and roasted chicken and was coming over to have dinner in the evening.

Seeing the beef and roast chicken, Li Zhongxin's great-grandmother He Shuqing burst into laughter.

She told Li Zhongxin that she would show off her skills to Li Zhongxin tonight by stewing potatoes and beef.

After Li Zhongxin's great-grandmother took the things, she ignored Li Zhongxin and immediately started to get busy.

After skillfully changing the knife (cutting large pieces of meat into small pieces), Grandma He Shuqing put the meat in a basin of water to soak, and then began to look for ingredients to make beef stew.

Put a little soybean oil in a large iron pot. When the oil temperature rose and some oil smoke came out slightly, she put the green onions, ginger, and aniseed into the pot.

Stir-fry until the aroma comes out, then put the soaked beef inside and stir-fry together. After stir-frying for a few times, add some soy sauce and homemade bean paste and stir-fry for a few more times, and finally add water.

After simmering over high heat for fifteen minutes, begin to simmer slowly.
