The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After being woken up by the old man, Liu Minghui looked at him and said, "Uncle, I just came here to try my luck."

The old man nodded and said, "I knew it. After all, you can't fish at all."

As the old man spoke, he kept looking at his bucket. Liu Minghui followed his movements and looked over. There were four fish in the bucket, one big and three small. The big one looked to weigh two kilograms, and the small one was probably about half a kilogram.

Liu Minghui raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, you are lucky."

The old man was immediately unhappy: "What luck? This is a display of my strength."

The old man was unhappy when someone questioned his fishing ability.

Liu Minghui nodded perfunctorily and said, "That's right, you are really amazing, sir."

The old man was very angry at Liu Minghui's indifferent look and turned his head away and stopped talking to Liu Minghui.

Seeing that the old man ignored him, Liu Minghui pulled up the fishhook. He saw that all the corn kernels had been eaten, leaving only the fishhook.

Liu Minghui looked at the time and saw that it was almost four o'clock, so he planned to get a fish from the space as a snack for tonight.

Liu Minghui hung corn on the fishhook and threw it out.

Since the space can be opened within a range of about twenty meters, Liu Minghui quietly used the space to hang a grass carp weighing about five kilograms on his hook.

The float on the water suddenly sank, and Liu Minghui grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it upwards. As the fish was not small, Liu Minghui could only reel it in slowly, which made the old man next to him envious, thinking that this guy was lucky.

After a few minutes of sliding the fish to the shore, the old man nearby quickly picked up the scoop net to help scoop the fish up.

Liu Minghui looked at the fish he caught without feeling guilty at all. Although it was a fish in the space, no one else knew about it.

Liu Minghui looked at the old man who had just helped him catch the fish and said, "Thank you, old man. Do you think my luck is better than yours?"

"Hey, you little brat." The old man didn't want to talk. After all, the total weight of the fish he caught was not as heavy as the other person's fish.

Seeing that the old man was about to get internal injuries from his anger, Liu Minghui stopped provoking him.

He packed up his things, picked up the fish and planned to run away.

"Uncle, just take your time fishing. I'm leaving first."

After saying this, Liu Minghui got on his bike and left.

Liu Minghui walked through the streets and alleys carrying the fish, and passers-by cast envious glances at him.

When Liu Minghui returned to the courtyard, the third uncle came over as soon as he entered the door.

"Liu Minghui, did you catch this fish?" The third uncle looked at the fish Liu Minghui was holding with envy.

Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Yes, I fished in the river not far away."

The third uncle looked at Liu Minghui attentively and said, "Liu Minghui, this fish is not easy to cook. How about asking your third aunt to cook it for you?"

Liu Minghui naturally knew what he was planning. If he took the fish to the Yan family, he didn't know how much he could get.

Liu Minghui waved his hand and said, "I can do this. Uncle, if you are free, please help me clean the fish. I will give you the fish head and internal organs."

When the third uncle heard this, he quickly took over and said, "That's no problem. Your third aunt is the best at cleaning fish."

The third uncle took the fish and ran home.

"Mother, kill this fish quickly."

The third aunt came out of the house and looked at it in surprise, "Boss, where did this fish come from?"

Yan Bugui said proudly, "This is what Liu Minghui caught. Let's help him clean it up. He doesn't want the fish head and internal organs."

The three aunts took the fish happily and went to the pond in the middle courtyard to clean them up.

Liu Minghui returned home and lit the stove to cook the fish waiting for the third aunt.

The third aunt was happily cleaning the fish, while Jia Zhang and a few other aunts were watching beside them.

"His third aunt, third uncle caught such a big fish today?" Jia Zhang said at this time.

The third aunt shook her head and said, "This is not what Old Yan caught. This is Liu Minghui's. I just helped to clean it up."

"Liu Minghui is quite amazing. He has a good job and is also very good at fishing. If I had known this, I would have introduced my niece to him." An auntie nearby said.

Another middle-aged woman nearby said, "You are too late. A matchmaker went to Liu Minghui's house this morning. I guess the meeting will only take place in the next few days."

“I don’t know whether this will work or not.”

The three aunts didn't chat with them. They quickly packed the fish and took it to Liu Minghui's house.

Liu Minghui took the fish and looked at it. Fortunately, there was still most of it left. He planned to make a boiled fish. Liu Minghui sliced ​​the fish into slices, then found seasonings such as chili and peppercorns from the space and started cooking in the kitchen.

Because Liu Minghui was willing to use a lot of oil when cooking, the aroma spread to the central courtyard. At this time, the men from each family were just returning home from get off work, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled a rich aroma.

Sha Zhu walked in the front yard, smelling the fragrance in the air, and exclaimed: "Liu Minghui's cooking skills are pretty good, he knows how to eat."

Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai also came back. Before entering the house, Yi Zhonghai said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, there will be a meeting of the whole hospital after dinner tonight. I will help you catch the person who spread the rumor."

Jia Dongxu said happily that he understood.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, he saw Jia Zhang sitting on the kang with an unhappy face, taking care of the child. Qin Huairu was cooking in the kitchen at this time.

Jia Dongxu walked over and picked up the future thief Bang Geng, who is only four years old now. Xiao Dang was born this year.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jia Dongxu said while teasing the stick.

At this time, Qin Huairu pulled Jia Dongxu over and whispered, "It's because Liu Minghui in the front yard caught a big fish today and asked the third aunt to help clean it up. Mother is very envious."

To be honest, Qin Huairu was also quite envious. In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu was the first to eat, after all, he was the mainstay of the family. Then came Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, and finally it was Qin Huairu's turn. Although she didn't starve, she could only eat meat a few times a year. This was when Jia Dongxu treated her well.

Jia Dongxu was helpless when he heard this. He was not familiar with Liu Minghui from the front yard and the two of them had basically never spoken to each other.

"It's okay. When I have time, I will go fishing too." Jia Dongxu comforted.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai went to find Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to discuss holding a meeting of the whole institute.

Not long after, the two brothers Yan Jiecheng started notifying every household in the front yard.

"Brother Liu, it's time for a meeting at the Intermediate Court." At this time, Yan Jiefang came over and called Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui said he would be there soon.

When Liu Minghui arrived at the central courtyard, quite a few people were already there. Three old men were already sitting at the table waiting for everyone.

Liu Haizhong looked at everyone and said, "Is everyone here? Let's see who is missing."

"Second Uncle, no one from the Xu family has come yet." someone said.

The second uncle looked at Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangqi quickly said, "There's no one at Xu Damao's house. I guess he hasn't come back yet."

The second uncle wanted to say something but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"It doesn't matter if they're not here. We don't need two of them anyway."
