Jiang Ning didn't go home directly. It was still early and the sun was just right.
The asphalt road in Heba is filled with various small stalls. The stall owners are standing or sitting, busy greeting pedestrians.
There are stalls selling fish, fruit, sheets and blankets, rabbits, etc.
Today is Saturday, a rest day. Many people take a leisurely walk in Heba, enjoying the scenery under the sunset, and often buy something.
Xue Yuantong jumped off the battery car and strolled along the road, while Jiang Ning continued to ride.
While shopping, Xue Yuantong purchased two candied hawsers under the envious eyes of two children.
Jiang Ning paid the money, because all her money belongs to Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong held up the candied haws to show off, feeling extremely proud.
The two children were even more envious. They were probably thinking, as they are both children, why can she be so happy with an adult paying for her?
Xue Yuantong slowly bit into the candied haws, looked at the nearby vegetable stall, and said: "My mother didn't come back until after 10 o'clock tonight. We have to make dinner by ourselves."
Tonight, Evergreen Liquid Group holds a celebration party. As employees of Evergreen Liquid, Aunt Gu and Hua Fengmei are qualified to attend the party.
"Should we buy groceries and cook them at home, or should we drink tofu noodle?" She pointed to the tofu noodle stall.
Jiang Ning: "You cook."
Xue Yuantong: "Okay."
"What do you want to eat?" She wanted to eat everything she saw, but she couldn't buy too much food because it would be wasted if she didn't finish it all.
Jiang Ning: "It's quite difficult to decide."
He thought for a while and said, "Let's call Chu Chu over and let her decide."
Xue Yuantong strongly agrees with this method. With Chu Chu's sobriety, she will definitely not have difficulty choosing what to eat.
Chu Chu, who received the phone call, quickly came from the bungalow.
As soon as she appeared at the river dam, she immediately attracted Ruyouruowu's gaze.
Xue Chuchu had long been used to it. She met Tongtong and said, "Let's make hot pot tonight. I happen to have some big bones at home."
Xue Yuantong agreed: "There are more dishes to eat this way."
The two began to choose vegetables at the vegetable stall, including lotus roots, bean sprouts, green vegetables, tofu... and only bought a few of each.
However, the stalls on the river dam are not big. They are temporary stalls after all. There is no meat stall. Xue Yuantong said worriedly: "There are no meat dishes. I want to eat hot beef."
When Jiang Ning heard this, his consciousness passed over the bungalow and discovered that butcher Zhang's house next door had produced two kilograms of fresh beef today.
Butcher Zhang is a pig butcher and has met many people who kill cattle and sheep. He is also a man who is greedy for pleasure, so the quality of the beef he produces is quite good.
Jiang Ning said calmly: "Beef, it's simple. I'll take care of it."
Xue Yuantong was confused: "Are you going to buy it on the street?"
Jiang Ning: "I won't go."
Xue Chuchu also cast a puzzled look, but Jiang Ning was a man she couldn't see through. Maybe he really had a way.
After Xue Yuantong selected some vegetables, he sneaked near the little rabbits and chickens.
The chick is small, covered in golden fluff, and moves around like a yellow fur ball, which is quite cute.
Xue Yuantong took a photo and sent it to the class group, @陈思宇: "Look, look!"
Chen Siyu: "Wow, I really want to raise one."
Guo Kunnan replied online: "Goodbye. She was quite cute when she was a child, but she doesn't look good when she grows up. Anyone who raises chickens in rural areas knows how difficult it is to take care of her."
Chen Siyu: "Well, no wonder I haven't heard of anyone keeping chickens as pets."
Jiang Yanan said: "Little rabbits are pretty good. I've seen people raise them and spend hundreds of yuan to treat them."
Zhang Chi: "With so much money, are you crazy?"
Yu Wen: "What do you know? Some people's pets are sick and they spend thousands to treat them."
Zhang Chi laughed: "I'm so happy that I treat pets better than their parents."
Dong Qingfeng: "We cannot generalize. Some people think that pets accompanying them every day is a kind of spiritual sustenance. Some people are even willing to spend all their savings."
Liu Chuandao was a rude person, and he directly commented sharply: "It's a bad pen."
Cui Yu: "In order to save it, you spend all your money and burn all the money that may be used to save your family in the future. Are you crazy?"
Meng Gui: "But it cannot be denied that there are indeed such people. There are many dog owners in society. Don't they all regard dogs as their sons?"
Seeing it, a debate about pets is about to break out in the class.
Class leader Xin Youling knows that there are more than 50 people in the class, and people are multi-faceted. Everyone has a different family environment and has encountered different things since childhood. No matter what your views are, there will always be people to support them. Once a scolding war breaks out, it will only evolve into
Chicken feathers everywhere.
As the squad leader, she should maintain the atmosphere of the class. Xin Youling stepped in to change the topic. She took the initiative @薛元通: "Do you like small animals?"
Xue Yuantong: "Of course I like it."
Xin Youling: "How much do you like it?"
Xue Yuantong said frankly: "How can I put it, I have it every day."
Xin Youling: “…”
In winter, it gets dark very early. The sun sets in the west and the sky becomes darker. The number of pedestrians on the Heba asphalt road increases instead of decreasing.
Xue Chuchu thought that to eat hot pot at night, she had to make soup with big bones first, which was a time-consuming task.
Tongtong and Jiang Ning squatted in front of the fish stall, watching the fish swimming in the big basin.
Xue Yuantong wanted to buy snakeheaded fish, but it was a bit too expensive. Jiang Ning said that before preparing food later, he would go to the river to catch two.
The fish stall owner said happily: "Young man is really good at joking. It's already December, where can I catch snakeheaded fish?"
Jiang Ning asked him: "Do you collect wild black fish?"
The fish stall owner finally laughed out loud. He smiled and said nothing.
Xue Yuantong looked at the fish stall owner's sneer and was ready to let Jiang Ning slap him in the face.
She and Jiang Ning left the fish stall and wandered towards the rabbit stall.
Xue Yuantong's interest was still not gone, so she asked: "Hey, Chuchu, are you solar powered?"
Xue Chuchu shut up and said nothing.
Seeing that Chu Chu was silent, Xue Yuantong smiled.
She obediently got on Jiang Ning's battery car and headed home. On the way, Xue Yuantong was still thinking, how did Jiang Ning get beef?
'Forget it, he will definitely go fishing anyway. If there is snakehead fish, it's okay if there is no beef.'
The light from the battery car pierced the darkness of the bungalow and illuminated the few people chatting at the door, including Uncle Tang and Butcher Zhang.
Uncle Tang showed off: "My new civet cat is really good at catching mice. How big is it? Good guy, catch a mouse for me this afternoon."
Butcher Zhang looked at his big black-backed wolfdog and said nothing.
Jiang Ning started fishing, "I know how to catch mice."
Xiao Ben is the name of the big wolf dog. Well, Jiang Ning usually calls it that. Gradually, the neighbors all call the big wolf dog this way.
So much so that the name that Butcher Zhang gave to Xiao Ben has been forgotten.
When Butcher Zhang heard Xiao Ben's name, his blood rushed to his forehead. He was so angry that he served him with delicious food and drink every day, but in the end, his name was taken away from him!
Butcher Zhang has been in the pig-killing industry in Yuzhou for so many years, and he has never encountered anything so aggrieved.
After hearing this, Uncle Tang said: "What kind of mice can you catch, little fool? Can a dog catch a mouse?"
Jiang Ning: "Dogs can indeed catch mice, and Xiaobeng is a good mouse catcher."
Uncle Tang turned around: "Brother Zhang, do you know about this?"
Butcher Zhang's face was dark and he said stiffly: "I don't know."
Xue Yuantong looked at Butcher Zhang's dark face and felt happy.
She remembered clearly that when she moved to Heba a few years ago, Butcher Zhang was a very domineering person with a violent temper. He also liked to be a bit mischievous and liked to raise large dogs.
They are usually kept in bungalows and are very scary.
This huge black-backed wolfdog once almost bit Xue Yuantong.
Xue Chuchu was also observing this scene. As far as she knew, Jiang Ning was definitely not someone who took the initiative to stir up trouble. His behavior today clearly contained a hint of aggression.
Thinking of the Haikou boasted by Jiang Ning in Heba and Zhang Butcher's criminal record, Xue Chuchu couldn't help but guess: 'Could he be planning to...'
As expected, Butcher Zhang said in a very aggressive tone: "How did you know that Xiaobian...cough, Overlord can catch mice? If you are capable, you can ask him to catch one and show it to me?"
That's right, Xiaoben's original name was "Bawang", which was very domineering.
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Hey, what's wrong, Uncle Zhang doesn't believe it?"
Butcher Zhang's face was filled with disdain and his eyes were full of contempt.
Jiang Ning: "Look at your expression, then I'll make a bet with you with my one-pound wild black fish."
After saying this, Jiang Ning looked at Uncle Zhang: "I'll let Xiaobian catch the mouse now."
Butcher Zhang is really a reckless man. He has long held a grudge and said angrily: "Just bet, you can make the overlord catch mice today, and the two...one pound of beef tenderloin that is freshly cut in my house will be yours!"
He still doesn't believe it. Now that the Overlord can find the mouse, can he still be caught by the mouse?
Jiang Ning agreed: "Okay, Uncle Tang will bear witness."
Uncle Tang sighed: "Oh, what happened!"
The bet was established, Jiang Ning called out: "Little fool, go!"
As soon as the voice fell, the black-backed wolfdog immediately jumped up and rushed towards the dilapidated grove in the distance.
After a few minutes, Xiao Ben ran to the door with a mouse in his mouth.
He opened his mouth and the mouse fell to the ground.
Xue Yuantong observed the mouse from a distance and said, "Uncle Zhang, look, it can still move!"
Butcher Zhang: “Damn it!”
Although he was angry, he still took out his mobile phone to record the video and added his voice: "Hey, be a good boy, look at my big wolf dog, it can also catch mice, tsk tsk!"
After posting on WeChat Moments, Uncle Zhang felt slightly better.
Uncle Zhang did not default on his debt. He returned home, cut a pound of beef tenderloin, and handed it to Jiang Ning with a dark face.
Jiang Ning: "Tongtong, why don't you thank Uncle Zhang soon?"
Xue Yuantong's face smiled brightly: "Uncle Zhang, you are such a nice person."
…
Xue Chuchu witnessed the whole process, and she had a sense of magic. The most difficult part to control in the whole process was definitely Xiaoben catching the mouse. Could Jiang Ning be so sure that Xiaoben could find the mouse and catch the mouse?
She really can't understand.
But there seems to be traces of this matter. Dogs can indeed catch mice. Xue Chuchu has seen it with her own eyes. Moreover, dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell and can find mice.
However, Jiang Ning was able to pass this message to Xiao Ben. This kind of control is comparable to those of professional dog trainers.
Uncle Zhang did not lose unfairly.
After returning home, Jiang Ning looked at Tong Chu, who was preparing to light a fire for cooking, and said, "You guys take your time and work while I go to the river to fish."
Only then did Xue Chuchu remember that the black fish he had just bet with was still in the river. It was obvious that he had nothing to lose...
Xue Yuantong warned him: "Please pay attention to your safety. It's too dark. Be careful of falling into the river."
Jiang Ning said: "I have a lot of traffic, so I will make a video call to you."
Xue Yuantong's eyes suddenly brightened, "Okay!"
After Jiang Ning returned home, he packed up his fishing tools and picked up the flashlight. He found the mobile phone holder he was holding, put the mobile phone on it, and set off to the river.
Xue Yuantong stayed in the kitchen at home. She put her tablet in place and watched Jiang Ning while cooking.
As long as he can see him, Xue Yuantong's heart feels particularly at peace.
Above the wilderness, there is only the last trace of afterglow, and it is about to fall into darkness.
The street lights on the river dam were bright and people were coming and going. Jiang Ning crossed the river dam with his fishing rod and walked alone to the river in the north.
At this time, in an excellent fishing spot, a fisherman stood by the river, holding a fishing rod, smoking a cigarette, and enjoying the loneliness between heaven and earth.
The weather now is quite suitable for fishing. It is not too cold and there are no mosquitoes to worry about.
Jiang Ning's footsteps broke the peace on this side.
The fisherman looked at it twice before retracting his eyes and focusing on the fishing rod in front of him.
Jiang Ning took the initiative to chat: "Brother, how was the harvest?"
The fisherman said calmly: "Just got here."
Jiang Ning swept away a few cigarette butts on the ground and said nothing. He refused to remove them.
Jiang Ning threw the hook directly. He used fake bait.
The fisherman next to me was surprised and said: "If you don't make a nest when fishing, you won't catch much."
Jiang Ning: "It's okay, one piece is enough."
The fisherman shook his head and said no more.
After a minute, the float sank.
"The hook is bitten." Jiang Ning said, he lifted the pole, and a big black fish was lifted into the air, and water splashed away.
Jiang Ning picked off the snakehead fish, threw it into the bucket, and said goodbye: "I'm going home."
He picked up the bucket and left.
The fisherman was stunned for a long time, until the cigarette butt burned his hand, and he shook it off in shock.
…
At the same time, the official website of Changqing Liquid announced its sales results. Within three days of its launch, sales of ‘Evergreen’ exceeded five million bottles.
This data caused a huge disturbance in Class 8.
Zhang Chi: "One bottle sells for 2,000 yuan, right? Five million bottles sold for 10 billion yuan?"
Dong Qingfeng: "Our country bought 1.5 million bottles."
Zhang Chi: "Are there so many rich people?"
In his opinion, the salary of most people is only a few thousand yuan, and a bottle of Evergreen costs 2,000 yuan, which is half of the salary. Moreover, Evergreen cannot completely cure myopia, and the effect is only
Two months.
Chen Qian: "Let me tell you a piece of data. As early as the end of 2011, our total luxury goods consumption accounted for about 30% of the global share. Yes, we are the largest luxury goods consumer country in the world."
Dong Qingfeng: "Is it magical?"
Zhang Chi stopped talking, unable to accept the reality that he was so poor for a while.
Chen Qian sent a photo, showing that he was holding a small white bottle in his hand: "I contributed a bottle, and I will give it to everyone to try the effect later (showing teeth)."
Dong Qingfeng: "Local tycoon."
Zhang Chi took a photo. It was a store with a very special style. He said: "I am at the Evergreen Liquid store, waiting for news."
