057 Exchange food for copper coins, underestimated Liu Guangtian
Liu Guangtian was stunned. Seeing that Chu Qianqian didn't seem to be joking, he nodded quickly, pointed at a few classmates in the distance and said, "Brother, my buddy's grandfather is a master of fishing.
I have more than a dozen bamboo fishing rods of various kinds at home. If you want them, I will get them all ready for you for 50 cents."
Chu Xiangqian asked in surprise, "Is 50 cents enough?"
Liu Guangtian chuckled, "The best fine moso bamboo is indeed worth 30 to 50 cents, but I asked my classmate to buy it, and he had the nerve to charge for the processing fee?"
Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to take advantage of this. He put his hand into his pocket and wanted to give him a dollar. But after thinking about it, he realized that giving money was not an adjustment.
But if you give it dried meat, it’s no problem.
"Go and ask your classmate if you can exchange half a pound of dried wolf meat for a set of good fishing gear?"
"Change, change, definitely change," Liu Guangtian said without thinking, "I will definitely get you his best fishing rod."
Chu Xiangqian ordered, "I will finish my errands for today after walking through this alley, and then go home to change my coat. You can play with yourself nearby while waiting for me to come over."
Liu Guangtian nodded quickly, turned around and ran to brag with his classmates.
Chu Qianqian spent more than ten minutes walking to the vicinity of the Drum Tower. He didn't go back to the street and went home with his dog.
Anyway, Section Chief Chen Huaili has said that not only does he not care about what to do after the patrol, but he encourages himself to go fishing or wander outside the city to get some game back.
It’s uncomfortable to go outside the city at this time. It might already be dark when you step out of the city.
Change into a wolfskin coat and wolfskin hat when you get home.
The armed belt and holster are worn on the body, and they are invisible once the coat is covered.
I found two food bags, filled each with half of wolf jerky, and put them into the storage compartment.
Two hunting dogs were also admitted to Novice Village to prevent them from actually biting people in the yard.
After leaving the yard, I went straight to Aunt Wang’s house and Chen Huaili’s house in the neighborhood committee to deliver dried wolf meat.
Moreover, Chen Huaili really gave an extra pheasant as a gift.
When Chu Xiangqian arrived at Yuhe, the sky had already begun to darken.
Liu Guangtian, who had been waiting for almost two hours, saw him and ran over quickly with a classmate of 14 or 5 years old, carrying two fishing rods, one long and one short.
"Brother, this is my classmate Nan Guangsheng. His grandfather said that he didn't want to take advantage of you, so he gave you both long and short fishing rods."
Chu nodded forward, reached out to take the fishing rod, took a casual look, took out a piece of dried wolf meat wrapped in newspaper from his pocket and said, "Go back to eat quickly, so as not to worry about the family."
Nan Guangsheng took the newspaper and opened it. After confirming that it was indeed dried meat, he quickly thanked him and hurried home.
But Liu Guangtian didn't want to go home and said with a smile, "Brother, as long as I follow you, my father won't scold me or beat me."
After Chu Xiangqian heard this, he ignored him, walked down the river embankment, and followed Liu Guangtian to the ice cave where they had fished before.
As soon as he stood up, Liu Guangtian took the initiative to hang up the fishing line and hook, and even borrowed a horse from someone's house for Chu to sit forward.
Chu Xiangqian sat down with a smile and asked nonchalantly, "Guangtian, I don't think your father has ever enjoyed my treatment, right?"
Liu Guangtian, who was hanging the fishhook, stopped and sighed for a few seconds while continuing to hook the fishhook and said, "Brother, don't laugh at me. If my father could stop beating me, I would be ten times more filial than I am now. p>
But when he gets angry, he takes it out on me and Guangfu.
Moreover, my third brother Guangfu and I can't eat meat and eggs on weekdays, nor can we eat Erhe noodles and steamed buns.
But as for my eldest brother, all good things belong to him. Do you think there are such partial parents? I even doubt that I am not his biological son."
Chu Xiangqian no longer wanted to laugh at Liu Guangtian.
As the saying goes, 'The kinder the parents are, the more virtuous the children and grandchildren will be. The more virtuous the parents are, the more filial the children and grandchildren will naturally be.'
Liu Haizhong thought it was for their own good that he scolded his son, but he only spanked his second son and his third son. It's strange that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu didn't feel any resentment in their hearts.
Also, Liu Haizhong thinks that the better he treats his eldest son Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangqi will definitely support him in his old age in the future.
But he didn't want to think about it. He himself had set a very bad example. How could Liu Guangqi learn from him well?
Seeing Liu Guangqi eating meat and eggs, but never thinking of sharing them with his second brother, the third brother knew that this boy was a selfish and ruthless master.
Chu Xiangqian tested this and had no hesitation in his heart.
While fishing, he said, "Guangtian, how much does the scrap copper coin in the scrap collection station cost per pound?"
Liu Guangtian had originally made up his mind to follow Chu Xiangqian. After all, Chu Xiangqian was the only person he could come into contact with who he felt was promising and could please him.
Without thinking, he replied, "Brother, I'm familiar with this. My classmates and I used to pick up scraps and sell them to get some food.
It’s just that since last year, not to mention copper coins, all scrap metal has been handed in.
After walking for two or three hours after school, sometimes I couldn’t even pick up some rotten wood, so I thought about fishing for food.”
After finishing speaking, he thought for a while before continuing, "Copper coins cost 6 cents per catty, and if it's copper, it costs 8 cents to 1 yuan per catty."
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that the price was really cheap, but that’s right. The rise of copper coin collecting would only come about in two or thirty years.
I was about to say, ‘I’ll increase the price by 5 cents and ask Liu Guangtian to help collect the copper coins’.
But I didn’t expect this kid to be clever.
Before Chu Xiangqian could say anything, he said it.
Liu Guangtian looked around and whispered, "Brother, please stop beating around the bush and give me 5 yuan. I will buy you all the more than ten copper coins that my classmate Nan Guangsheng just had."
/p>
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he understood that he had underestimated others.
When Liu Guangtian saw that Chu Qianqian was silent, he smiled and said, "Brother, you have forgotten that this is the capital. When we were young, we heard about people building houses and digging up gold and silver jewelry that their predecessors had buried in the ground.
And in August this year, in a yard in our area, someone found a dozen gold bars hidden in the wood on the roof.
After hearing this so often, who doesn’t know that there are valuable things in copper coins?”
After saying that, he scratched his head and chuckled, "But we can only play with copper coins. After all, not many people take this thing, and it's not worth much money."
Chu Qianqian shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, no wonder some people say that the environment is a child’s third teacher.
Children in the capital just listen to adults chatting and bragging among their classmates, and they are more knowledgeable than children in rural areas.
He reached into his pocket, took out 2 cents from the game warehouse, and handed it to Liu Guangtian, "Go find your classmate and bring the things to me. If you are satisfied, I will give him 10 pounds of white noodles."
Liu Guangtian silently calculated that the white flour from the supply and marketing cooperative cost 18 cents per kilogram. Adding the value of food stamps, 10 kilograms cost 3 yuan and 2 cents more.
But in the pigeon market, the price of white noodles for 1 kilogram has been increased to 3 cents.
If you don’t need a ticket, it’s 4.5 cents, and 10 pounds is 4.5 cents.
If this business can be done, Liu Guangtian will nod and run away.
But before he had run more than a dozen steps, the boy ran back again, squatted next to him and whispered, "Brother, I told my classmate about 8 kilograms, and the remaining 2 kilograms of white flour will be left at your house.
Please help me replace it with 1 pound of white flour and 3 pounds of stick noodles.
From now on, you can give me two Erhe noodle steamed buns every day for 10 days, okay?"
