Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"Haha, Aunt Wang, please stop teasing me."

Lin Ze smiled brightly and helped Wang Ting put the fish into the snakeskin bag.

Of course, the fish in the snakeskin bag were not all Lin Ze’s. He still had a few four-pound sea bass in his space.

When he got home, his parents were not back yet. Lin Ze put the clothes he had changed on the kang, locked the door, and entered the space.

He had to steam a pot of rice for himself first. The warehouse in the space was in a state of time standing still and could not store living things, but the rooms on the second floor could be lived in.

Lin Ze steamed two crabs for himself and cooked a large pot of rice with the newly harvested rice.

After harvesting rice and wheat, Lin Ze planted corn in both plots of black soil.

After the meal was cooked, he fed himself until he was 80% full. After eating, Lin Ze left the space, lay on the bed, feeling very satisfied, and slowly fell asleep.

He slept for two hours.

When he woke up, his parents and younger brother had not returned yet.

Lin Ze decided to change bicycles at Dongsi People's Market, which was not far from Nanluoguxiang.

When they were almost at Dongsi People's Market, Lin Ze took out a snakeskin bag from the corner, which was half filled with sweet potatoes.

This half bag of sweet potatoes can be replaced by anything in his space.

Dongsi People's Market is very prosperous, and middle-aged people riding bicycles are everywhere, which is quite spectacular in this era when bicycles are equivalent to BMWs.

Lin Ze didn't look at the cyclists. He came to a bicycle shop and asked directly, "How much do you sell bicycles for?"

"In addition to the bicycle ticket, I also need ten big black tens. What, kid, do you want to buy a bicycle?"

Lin Ze was shocked by the price. It turned out that he couldn't exchange the bicycle ticket for a bicycle.

"No, I just came to ask." Lin Ze was a little discouraged, and walked out the door while speaking.

The bicycle salesman took a sip of tea and shook his head lightly.

Not only are bicycle tickets hard to come by these days, the price of buying one is also not cheap.

Lin Ze's plan to exchange the crops in the space for a car was not feasible this time. He couldn't just hold that snakeskin bag and dump goods out continuously.

Besides, the stuff in his space is probably worth less than ten big black tens.

Lin Ze was a little bored. On the way home, he touched and looked at the bicycle ticket again and again.

"No rush, as long as I can get back to my grandfather's house, these are all small matters."

Lin Ze returned home before dinner. Li Xiuzhen was preparing dinner in the yard. Lin Ze poured out two sea bass weighing three or four pounds from the snakeskin bag.

"Oh my God, such a big bass, where did you get it from, Lin Ze?" Li Xiuzhen asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's the fish I caught!" Lin Ze put down the fishing rod on his shoulder and said, "Mom, please steam the fish."

"Why steam it? I'm going to use this fish to trade for something else. Sea bass is so valuable!"

After Li Xiuzhen finished speaking, she picked up the two fish and walked out the door.

Seeing that Li Xiuzhen had disappeared, Lin Ze shrugged and took out another sea bass from his snakeskin bag.

"Big pigeon is so awesome, eating fish!" Lin Sisi clapped her hands happily, looking very cute.

Lin Zhengguo was also surprised by his son's move. He touched the stubble on his chin and asked in surprise, "Son, there are no more fish in your bag, right?"

"That's not the case." Lin Ze said, picking up the fish and starting to clean the internal organs.

If I couldn't buy a bicycle, at least I could make the food at home better.

Lin Hao happened to come back from school at this time, and Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were with him.

"Fish, Lin Hao, your brother caught fish again?" Yan Jiekuang didn't even have time to put down his military green schoolbag, and trotted behind Lin Hao to the door of the Lin family.

"Brother, what kind of fish is this?" Lin Hao looked puzzled.

"Silly boy, this is sea bass." Lin Zhengguo replied, "It's delicious even when steamed. It doesn't have bones yet. You're in for a treat today."

Yan Jiekuang swallowed his saliva and reached out to touch the sea bass that Lin Ze was gutting.

"Don't touch it, or you'll damage our fish!" Lin Hao quickly stood in front of Yan Jiekuang.

"Jie Kuang, if you want to eat fish, let your dad go fishing. Third uncle's fishing skills are pretty good." Lin Zhengguo said.

Yan Jiekuang pursed his lips, his eyes never leaving the fish, "All the fish my father caught were sent to the factory purchasing department to exchange for receipts and supplies."

"Yes."

Yan Jiedi felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed red as she said, "Brother, let's go home."

It can be seen that although Yan Jiedi is younger than Yan Jiekuang, she is much more sensible than him.

Yan Jiekuang saw Lin Ze clean the fish and put it into a large iron pot to steam it.

He sniffed the fishy smell in the air and finally went home reluctantly.

When Li Xiuzhen came back from the supply and marketing cooperative happily, carrying a snakeskin bag, she saw that a fish had been steamed at home, also a sea bass.

"Hey, kid, why are you so wasteful?"

Li Xiuzhen said, "Just those two sea bass I just caught were exchanged for ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of soybean oil, three bars of soap, and a box of vanishing cream...!"

"What were you thinking? You steamed the fish I gave you?"

"Mom, I don't want to settle accounts with you and your son, but this fish was indeed caught by me. No matter what time it is, it is..."

"What is it?" Li Xiuzhen walked into the room, picked up the feather duster on the altar, patted it in her palm, and pretended to hit someone.

"They are all your fish, mom. You are my real mom." Lin Ze smiled flatteringly.

Lin Zhengguo picked up five sets of clothes on the kang and said, "Lin Ze's biological mother, don't rush to beat the child. Come and see the clothes the child has changed for us."

"clothing?"

When Li Xiuzhen came back, she was busy changing the fish and didn't notice what was new in the house.

Hearing Lin Zhengguo's shout, Li Xiuzhen hurried to the inner room and discovered the five sets of clothes on the kang, from big to small, which were exactly the sizes for their family of five.

"Wow, the color, the fabric, and the workmanship are really great...!" Li Xiuzhen picked up the feather duster, just for show. Seeing her son's skills, she felt so proud.

"Lin Ze, how come you are so good at fishing? How many fish do you have to catch to buy these sets of clothes?"

Lin Ze smiled faintly, but said confidently, "It's just luck."

"Brother, our teacher said that luck is also a part of strength."

Lin Hao raised his head and said proudly, "My brother's strength is obvious to all!"

"Stop flattering me, little flatterer, and bring in the flour so I can make some steamed buns for you."

Li Xiuzhen felt that the past few days were particularly unreal, like a dream. She knew that this was all thanks to her eldest son.

It is not excessive to improve the living standards a little bit.

"Okay!" Lin Hao was very happy and asked, "Mom, are they white flour buns or Sanhe flour buns?"
