Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Chapter 13: Meeting Yan Bugui by Chance While Fishing

Li Jianjun rode his bicycle and asked around and finally arrived at the fishing paradise of Shichahai.

He found an empty corner, took out the dragon-patterned rod and bait, and walked towards Shichahai. There were quite a few people fishing, most of them were old men. However, in the corner, Li Jianjun saw an acquaintance, the third uncle Yan Bugui. The gauze on his head had been removed, and it was just stuck on his forehead. It seemed that nothing serious had happened to him.

Li Jianjun walked towards Yan Bugui and said, "Hey, Uncle San, what a coincidence, you are here to fish too, don't you have class today?"

Yan Bugui turned around and saw Li Jianjun. "Hey, Jianjun, aren't you at work today? Shouldn't the purchasing department be very busy? Do you still have time to go fishing?"

Li Jianjun explained, "Uncle San, I learned cooking before, and I'm pretty good at it. Now I've been transferred to the third canteen as the chef. I come here to fish in the afternoon when I have nothing to do."

"Really, Jianjun, you're the best. I also don't have classes in the afternoon, so I'll see if I can go fishing to supplement the family income. You also know the family situation of the third uncle." Yan Bugui explained, but he had other plans in mind.

Li Jianjun: "Okay, Uncle San, I'll fish nearby, we can keep each other company."

Yan Bugui: "Okay, Jianjun, you're over there. Jianjun, Third Uncle wants to ask you something."

"Uncle, what's the matter? Just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."

"Hey Jianjun, the third uncle goes fishing to supplement the family income. He doesn't have much time to go to the market to sell, so he usually asks Sha Zhu to sell it to the steel mill. I just wanted to ask if you could help me sell it to the steel mill. You don't know Sha Zhu, and he wants my kickbacks. Is it easy for me to supplement the family income?" Yan Bugui was about to cry when he said this.

Li Jianjun thought about it. Who said Shazhu was stupid? He even thought about asking for kickbacks. "Okay, Uncle San. Give me all the fish you catch. I'll take them to the steel mill for you. Don't worry."

"Don't worry, how can I not be worried? Jianjun, you are so open-minded. I will trouble you when the time comes." Yan Bugui still trusted Li Jianjun. Looking at the clothes and shoes Li Jianjun bought for Xiaodang, and the duck frame he gave him, Li Jianjun was not a stingy person. How could he be greedy for his money?

Li Jianjun sat down not far from Yan Bugui and put the bait on and cast the rod in one go. It was obvious that he was a veteran.

At this time, Yan Bugui noticed Li Jianjun's fishing rod. Wow, it looked expensive. Then he looked at his own bamboo rod. The difference was too big. "Jianjun, your fishing rod is really beautiful. It must be expensive, right?"

"I don't know. My uncle gave it to me. He doesn't usually go fishing, so he gave it to me." Li Jianjun pushed the fishing rod onto Li Huaide's head. There was nothing to hide.

Yan Bugui was curious. The person who could give this fishing rod away casually must be extraordinary. If it was his, he would definitely not give it to him, even if it was his own son. "By the way, Jianjun, I don't know who your uncle is?"

"Oh, my uncle is Li Huaide, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, who is in charge of logistics." Li Jianjun said indifferently.

Yan Bugui was shocked. The deputy director's nephew is really amazing. No wonder he agreed to help me sell fish so easily. He had to hold on to this thick thigh tightly. "Oh, Jianjun, this is incredible. You didn't tell me earlier. If you had told me earlier, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi wouldn't have dared to mess with you."

"What's there to say? Just keep a low profile." Li Jianjun pretended.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fishing line straightened, and Li Jianjun did not hesitate and pulled it directly. Just kidding, the fishing rod given by the system, once you get on it, don't even think about running away, and there is no need to slip, just pull it directly and it's done.

Yan Bugui saw it and ran over to help. He saw Li Jianjun pulling with brute force and was about to say something when he saw the fish being pulled ashore. He swallowed his words.

It was a grass carp, not small, at least 10 pounds. When Li Jianjun took off the hook, he found that there was no fish guard. "Uncle, I just came out of the factory and I didn't bring a fish bucket with me. How about you lend me your fish bucket to keep the fish together?"

"It's okay, there are only small fish in there, you put the big ones in there. Jianjun, what kind of bait are you using? I haven't seen anyone catch such a big fish in a while." Yan Bugui's eyes were full of envy, but he was not jealous at all. It took skill for others to catch such a big fish.

"Or I'll give you some and you can try it." Li Jianjun was not stingy with the bait. He had plenty of it and didn't care.

"That's great. I'll try your bait." Yan Bugui was very happy. Li Jianjun was an easy person to get along with.

Yan Bugui took the bait and quickly changed it. After a while, he also caught a fish. However, his fishing rod could not be pulled as hard as Li Jianjun's. It took him more than ten minutes to pull it up. It was not as big as Li Jianjun's, but a carp of five or six kilograms was also quite good.

Yan Bugui had a smile on his face all day and he caught a few more fish later.

Li Jianjun also caught several fish, the largest one weighed about 15 kilograms, and there were two turtles. These are good things, I will give them to my uncle later, hehe.

While Li Jianjun was fishing, the news that he was cooking in the third canteen spread. The workers who had eaten his cooking praised him to the skies, and the other workers said they would definitely go to the third canteen to try it the next day.

At the same time, Sha Zhu also got the news. It was his apprentice Fatty who heard it and told him. At first, he didn't believe it, so he sent another apprentice Ma Hua to find out. However, what Ma Hua found out was even more outrageous than Fatty's. He said that after eating the dishes cooked by Li Jianjun, one would not feel tired while working. This made Sha Zhu so angry that he lost his temper in the second cafeteria. "Look at you, I asked you to find out something, but what did you find out? Why didn't you say that eating his dishes would make one become an immortal directly and not feel tired while working? I think they haven't worked enough."

Ma Hua did not refute, and he did not believe it, but everyone else said so, so what could he do.

Li Jianjun knew nothing about what was going on in the factory. It was getting late, so he had to hurry back. "Uncle, I still have to go to the factory, so I'll go back first. I'll take the fish back to the factory, and I'll bring you the money after get off work."

"Okay, thank you Jianjun. The bait is gone and I'm going back. Please ride slowly on the road. I'll weave some straw ropes and tie the fish bucket to the back seat for you. Put some grass in the bucket so the water won't shake so much." Fortunately, Yan Bugui's bucket was big, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hold all the fish.

"No need, uncle. Just pour out the water later. You can weave some straw ropes to help me tie the back seat. We will have to kill it and put it in the freezer when we get back anyway." Li Jianjun didn't want the water to splash out and get his clothes wet while he was riding the bike.

"Uncle, do you want to weigh your fish to avoid making the wrong weight?" Li Jianjun thought about it and said.

"No need. Am I not confident in you, Jianjun? I know what I am doing." Yan Bugui said as he was weaving a straw rope. He knew exactly how heavy the fish he caught was. Although it was not so accurate, it was almost accurate for him. Who was he, Yan Bugui? He would taste the saltiness of the manure cart when it passed by, so he did have some idea.
