Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 20 Amazing Harvest

Monday

Jia Weidong got up on time in the morning, ran out of the yard, went to the park to box, and ran home after completing his daily physical exercise.

"Weidong, you're back."

Qin Huairu officially went to work at the steel rolling mill today, so she got up very early. When Jia Weidong arrived home, he was already standing by the faucet in the yard washing clothes.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Looking at her little hands that were red from the cold, Jia Weidong felt a little distressed. What a good woman!

After breakfast, Jia Weidong went out fishing alone with a cloth bag on his back, a bucket in one hand, and a fishing rod in the other. He didn't plan to go to Houhai today. There was a lot of commotion there yesterday, so it would be unsafe to continue going. Few people pay attention to themselves.

All the way east, I went straight to Dongzhimen. After walking for more than an hour, I arrived at the moat. I found a corner where no one was around. I didn’t make a nest and just fished with earthworms soaked in spiritual water. Then I worked tirelessly to lower the pole and lift the fish. The pole operator repeated this action. Carp, silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, black fish, crucian carp, and white stripes were taken into the space fish pond one by one by Jia Weidong.

By noon, more than 500 kilograms of fish were put into the space fish pond. It was not until the mental energy was exhausted that I felt a little dizzy and I stopped. However, there were only a few crucian carp weighing about half a kilogram in the bucket.

He found a place with leeward and sat down to rest. He took out the frozen steamed buns in the cloth bag and ate them slowly. He drank the space spirit water to restore his physical and mental strength. Looking at the water glass in his hand, Jia Weidong thought thoughtfully, "If What will happen if you pour the space spiritual water directly into the river?"

After resting, take half a cup of space spiritual water from the space and pour it into the river about two meters away from the shore. What happened next shocked Jia Weidong. The spiritual spring water in this space was too attractive to fish.

A large group of fish swarmed in, like poking a hornet's nest. Where the spring water was poured, they crowded together and gushed out of the water like they were fighting for food. A few dozen meters away, there were a series of water waves heading straight for Jia Weidong.

Jia Weidong reacted and collected, collected, collected with a thought. After a few minutes, the water stopped. There were not many fish nearby. Jia Weidong also collected nearly 2,000 kilograms of fish, all of which were large fish and kept small ones for seed.

After taking a rest, I walked along the river for more than a mile and found a deserted place. I continued to pour the spiritual water and collected the fish. I rested again, changed places, poured the spiritual water, and collected the fish. It was getting dark around three o'clock in the afternoon. , almost catching all the big fish in the moat, Jia Weidong stopped, and the fish in the space fish pond also reached an astonishing five thousand kilograms.

After the exhausted Jia Weidong drank a glass of spiritual spring water, he leaned against a tree by the river and slowly walked back.

I won't be short of fish in a short time, and I can't finish it. How to turn these fish into money or exchange them for other supplies is a problem. I can't go to the acquisition department often, and I can't go to the black market alone. If you sell one piece at a time, how long will it last? Jia Weidong didn't think of a good way.

We walked all the way to Dongzhimen, and after asking about the addresses of shops and vegetable markets, we went to the Dongzhimen store first, and bought two small bamboo baskets with ropes and a pole at the daily miscellaneous department for 1.5 yuan, free of charge. I carried it on my shoulder and walked to the Dongzhimen wet market. When I arrived near the wet market, I found a deserted alley, packed two bamboo baskets of fish and walked to the wet market. I carried it into the fresh fish purchasing department with sweating profusely.

Looking at the two baskets of fresh fish, the buyer said without saying a word that the two baskets of fish totaled eighty-eight and a half kilograms.

"Comrade, do you still want to collect them today?" Jia Weidong asked as the accountant was preparing to issue the invoice.

"Collect as many fish as you can get," the collector said.

"There are four baskets outside. Please wait a moment, comrades, and I will pick them out."

"Okay, little comrade, go and come back quickly!"

Jia Weidong went back and forth twice more, not daring to sell any more.

After issuing the invoice and collecting the money, the six baskets of fish weighed a total of 286 kilograms and six taels, which is 40 cents per catty. Jia Weidong received 114 yuan and 64 cents. Counting the big black tens with excitement on his face, Jia Weidong had more than two hundred dollars in his pocket.

"Little comrade, little comrade, please wait a moment."

I walked out of the purchasing department carrying a diabolo basket, and as soon as I arrived outside the gate of the vegetable market, someone on a bicycle chased me from behind.

"Comrade, what's the matter with you?" Jia Weidong asked defensively as he didn't recognize him.

<divclass="contentadv">The man who caught up was in his forties, dressed in cadre uniform, wearing black leather shoes, with a Chinese-style face and meticulously combed back hair. He looked like a cadre at a glance.

"Hello, little comrade, I am from the logistics department of a textile factory. My surname is Lu."

"Leader Lu, do you have anything to do with me?" Jia Weidong asked

"Little comrade, it's like this. I just saw that you sold a lot of fish in the purchasing department. If you still have fish in the future, you can sell them to our factory. Our factory can charge you two cents more than the purchasing department. "

"Comrade Lu, how much does your factory want?"

“Whatever you have, our factory wants”

"Comrade Lu, if I sell fish to you, I won't be treated as a speculator and get arrested, right?"

"Little comrade, don't worry, our factory has the right to independently purchase unplanned materials. You will have no problem selling fish to us!"

"Then I can rest assured. Any fish will be sent to your factory in the future, but how can I find you?"

"When you arrive at the gate of our textile factory, tell the guard that you can just ask Director Lu or Lu Xiangyang of the Logistics Department."

"Okay, Director Lu, see you next time, Director Lu!

"After Jia Weidong finished speaking, he walked back with the diabolo basket. He found a deserted corner halfway, put the bamboo basket and pole into the space, and put two carp of about four kilograms and a dozen crucian carp in the bucket. He took out the bucket and carried it in his hand. He held the fishing rod in one hand and continued walking back.

"Hey, Wei Dong is back. Did you go fishing again today?"

When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, it was already dark. As soon as we stepped into the front yard, we met the third uncle.

"Yes, Third Uncle, I just came back. It's more convenient to take Third Uncle's bicycle." Jia Weidong said, grabbing a carp from the bucket and handing it to Third Uncle.

"Weidong, why are you so embarrassed?" The third uncle stretched out his hand to take it, but declined.

"It doesn't matter. There will be many places that need your care in the future, Third Uncle!"

"By the way, third uncle, do you have any idea about my going to school?" Jia Weidong asked next.

"Oh, Weidong, I was just about to tell you. Over at the school, the principal has agreed. You can go at any time. However, you will be tested for the specific grade you are in."

"Third uncle, didn't my mother borrow books from your house for me? I'm going to read books at home for two more days and try to get into sixth grade. If such a big man goes to first grade, won't he make his classmates laugh? I'll get off I'm going to test it in a few weeks, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, okay, go home early"

"Third uncle, see you later"

There was a bumper fishing harvest today, and things about going to school have also come to an end. Jia Weidong happily carried the bucket home, singing "We people, we are so happy today..." as he walked.
