He Er took a few mouthfuls of rice, stopped his chopsticks again when picking up vegetables, glanced at Ye Cheng, and said in a low voice: "There are so many delicious foods, the children haven't eaten them yet."

Mentioning the children, Ye Cheng also stopped, frowned, and patted his forehead angrily, "Look at my brain! I forgot about them." Looking at the exquisite delicacies on the table, thinking of the children I have been on the road with them without eating until now, and I am really annoyed.

Now I'm not in the mood to eat anymore, so I suggested, "Why don't we bring some for them to eat, and tell Shopkeeper Liu later, we will go back to find them as soon as possible."

"Well, yes, why don't we ask the shopkeeper to look at the fish now? We can go to them after it's over. I'm always worried about the children."

The old man Zhang and Zhang Xiaoxi didn't dare to move their chopsticks at first, but after hearing what they said, they nodded their heads in agreement. They felt uncomfortable eating in this magnificent place, and they were so terrified that they just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

The two were worried about the children, so they hurriedly called the waiter and said that they wanted to see the fish with their shopkeeper first, and could it be convenient for someone to come.Knowing that these people are very important to the shopkeeper, the guy went to help find them very readily, and asked another guy to bring them to the back.

Ye Chenghe and the others followed their buddies to the backyard, and found that there were already two large wooden basins there. They probably moved the bathtubs for use, and their buckets were placed beside them.

When I went to the front, I saw that the fish had already been poured in. It is estimated that the fishes could swim in a relatively spacious place. Some are so tenacious that they wander around.Seeing that there were still a few in the original bucket, the man explained that they were dead or dying. Ye Chengheer nodded, thinking that the other party was really fast.

"All the fish are here." The waiter was afraid that they would worry about his restaurant's calculations, so he quickly added this sentence, "But the two masters are not here, so we haven't checked the scale yet, and we will check the scale together when the shopkeeper comes."

"I've got a few brothers." Ye Chenghe said gratefully.

Not expecting to make the other party nervous, the clerk waved his hands in fear, and kept muttering: "Don't dare to act, don't dare to act, this is what young people should do."

Shopkeeper Liu heard that Ye Cheng and the others were looking for him. After thinking about it for a while, he followed him to the backyard. Before he arrived, he arrived first, "Why don't you guys eat more? But my food doesn't suit your taste?"

"Nothing!" Ye Cheng continued with a smile, "Isn't this worried about the children, and I just wanted to finish it beforehand. I'm really sorry. We begged to come to the door, and we have to have the cheek to ask the shopkeeper to come over."

Shopkeeper Liu realized that the other party was still bringing a child with him when he heard it, and now he pretended to be angry and said, "It's not right for Mr. Ye, since the children are here, why don't you bring them together, and don't say anything, I'll send someone to take the child away." Let’s just take it.”

"How dare you drag your family to eat and drink with you..." Seeing the other party stare, He Er hastily changed his words, "We are also here to see if you want fish here, we are here for serious business Now, how can you take the children with you?"

Talking secretly tugging on the hem of Ye Cheng's back clothes, Ye Cheng also hurriedly said, "That's right, shopkeeper Liu, don't be angry, we are stupid, we say too many mistakes, you have a lot of adults, next time, next time, I will definitely bring it to you Look."

suddenly,

"Hahaha--"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the anxious looks of the two, and really didn't want to push a few honest people too fast, so he laughed out loud, his big belly trembling from laughter, and it took a long time before he stopped.

"Cough~ I'm just joking with you guys. It's okay. Next time I have a chance, I really want to see some nephews. It's a deal. Remember to bring them next time." Coughing lightly and breathing slowly, Shopkeeper Liu Then he held back a smile and said as he walked to the bathtub, "Well, it's not bad, although it's not very big, but it's not bad like this."

The clever guy caught a grass carp and showed it to him. It probably weighed two catties.

There are about [-] or [-] fish in a bathtub, most of them are grass carp, there are also a few crucian carp, three black fish that swim the fastest and most vigorously, Ye Cheng said they are called Tangjiao fish, and some catfish.

The big one weighs about three catties, and the small one weighs more than one catty.

"We didn't want the small ones, we put them back, so we kept these." Ye Cheng explained from the side.

Shopkeeper Liu touched his chin again, and asked after a while, "How do you want to sell this fish?"

When Ye Cheng and the others heard that this meant that the other party would buy it, they were overjoyed and then nervous.

After looking at each other for a while, Ye Cheng replied in a rather different way, "To tell you the truth, this is also the first time we sell fish, at this price..." With a wry smile, he continued, "It's still shopkeeper Liu who is well-informed. Bar."

After pondering for a while, shopkeeper Liu said, "Well, I won't lie to the two of you, brother, we also sell fish in our town, but there are relatively few people, and there are not many people who eat fish in the town. There are not many that can do it well, so the price is not too high in our town, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the street and ask later.”

Ye Chenghe nodded. They really didn't know the price of fish in the town. As for the price, it really depends on what the other party said. They have nothing to say now.

"We believe that shopkeeper Liu will not lose my brothers, so you can make a price."

"That's fine, how about I charge you a little lower than the others?" Seeing that both of them nodded, they continued, "Then grass carp costs six cents a catty, crucian carp ten cents, and catfish twelve cents. These three black ones..."

Before Shopkeeper Liu could finish speaking, Ye Cheng had already answered, "I'll give you these three items to taste. Our children say they taste good, and... there are other things that are good for your health."

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Liu was obviously interested in what he said, and took a closer look at the three fish. There was really no one selling them in the town.

While waiting for the fish last night, He He chatted a lot with the other three children. It was the first time they heard this kind of fish called Tangjiao fish, so they thought it was the name given to them by the children. They used to be black fish and black fish called.

"How about these dead unified five papers? If you fish again in the future, or send them to us first, the price will still be the same."

Both Ye Chenghe and the others were half-hearted about the price, so shopkeeper Liu asked someone to bring a scale to weigh them one by one, and settled the money face to face.

"Fifteen grass carp, 34 catties and 27 taels in total, ten crucian carp, 36 catties and 780 taels in total, five catfish, [-] catties and [-] taels, and [-] dead ones, [-] catties and [-] taels. The total amount of money is [-] Bawen."

After it was over, he asked people to put the table of food into a food box and take them back to eat. Originally, he meant to re-fry a table for the children to take back to eat, but Ye Chenghe and the two disagreed with what they said, so they came to do it. How dare the business even eat and take.

In the end, shopkeeper Liu didn't insist anymore, but just ordered people to pack a few more big meat buns. It is estimated that even the best dishes are not as authentic as the buns, and the villagers are more accepting.

Sure enough, Baozi and the others stopped rejecting them so hard, and even said some words of gratitude to him. Why did he forget that these people are really honest people? Thinking of the dozens of catties of fish he received today .

As far as he knows, the mountain village there is not close, and there should be no big rivers in the deep mountains. It is quite capable to catch so many fish and guarantee so many live fish. Fortunately, he has the foresight and made a decision. An agreement to cooperate in the future.

Watching the back of the bullock cart slowly going away, shopkeeper Liu hummed a little song and walked towards the counter with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped humming.

What did Ye Xiaozi and the others say before?Fish and shrimp?Fish...shrimp?

shrimp!!

"Less than Zi, smaller than Zi!"

"Hey~" The guy who reported the letter earlier ran over, "Shopkeeper, what are your orders?"

"Let me ask you, besides fish, have you ever seen shrimp?"

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment and then replied without thinking, "No, it's just two buckets of fish. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to ask."

Seeing that people don't seem to be telling lies, shopkeeper Liu gave up, maybe he heard it wrong.

The fish is easy to catch, but the shrimp in the river is not easy to find, and the shrimp is much easier to handle than the fish. There are many people who like to eat it, but there are few goods, and there are not many transported from Fucheng, so the sales in the town are almost the same as white rice. Expensive.

Sure enough, as soon as shopkeeper Liu entered the counter, the servant who was in charge of buying in the morning came back and reported that the fish in the market today was basically taken by Wang's and Kelai restaurants.

The visitor kept his voice down, and waited tremblingly for the shopkeeper to scold him, but the shopkeeper just waved him indifferently to let him go down to help, so he had to retreat in a daze, waiting for his little friend to tell him that Ye Cheng had been there It cleared his doubts.

……

But here, Ye Chenghe and the others are worried about the children who are still at the city gate, and want to make the ox cart go faster, but now the streets are getting more and more crowded, and it takes a detour to get from North Street to the city gate. Passing through the Yamen in the center, I dare not go too fast.

Seeing that South Street is about to arrive, as long as they turn the corner, it is the South Street where they came in before. I wonder if Niu also felt the mood of the people in the car, and he accelerated a few steps. Unexpectedly, just after turning the corner, I almost collided with a person, but fortunately the cow raised its head spiritually to prevent its horns from touching the opponent, and immediately stopped its hooves, so that no disaster was caused.

Both parties were taken aback.

Ye Cheng jumped out of the cart faster than old man Zhang, and stretched out his hand to pull the cow rope aside.

"I'm sorry, brother, are you okay?"

Old man Zhang also rushed over at this moment, ignoring his precious cow, nervously went to help the people on the ground first, and kept apologizing.

The man followed Old Zhang's hand and stood up. He was so dazed that he couldn't take a breath, and immediately cursed: "You are blind, are you trying to kill me on purpose? I, I can't spare you at all..."

"The third one?"
