After buying an umbrella, Chen Xiaobei went to buy a fishing net.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei went to the butcher shop and bought two kilograms of bones.
Go home and happily make a pot of bone soup, and the leftover bones make excellent fishing bait.
After finishing all this, the most critical issue left is how to bring the fish to the county town alive.
If you want to keep the fish alive, the most important point is that you cannot leave the water.
This is why live fish is more expensive.
Chen Xiaobei walked around the county town for a long time and visited dozens of shops. The porcelain at this time was relatively bulky.
Not to mention pretending, just carrying such a guy to the county seat is very tiring.
After walking around, there was a shop selling water bladders in front of me.
Most of the water bladders at this time were sewn from cow and sheep skin, but they were generally small and could only hold two kilograms of water.
If you make a large water bladder and put the fish in it, will it be possible?
Thinking of this, he walked into the workshop.
The store owner looked at Chen Xiaobei's tattered clothes and frowned, but he still forced himself to nod to him.
"Boy, do you want to buy a water bag?"
His words were full of disdain.
Chen Xiaobei wanted to turn around and leave, but then he thought about it. There are few handicraft workshops these days. If he can't find another place, he has to come back, which would be even more embarrassing, so he might as well endure it for a while.
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Oh, I would like to buy two water bladders, but your water bladder is too small. Can you make me a bigger one?"
"This." The store owner looked at him hesitantly.
"Boy, how big do you want it to be?"
Chen Xiaobei made a gesture with his hands and said, "It must be at least one and a half feet long. If it is wide, it must be one foot. It is best to make two."
The store owner looked Chen Xiaobei up and down and said hesitantly, "Such a big water bag is not cheap. You..."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood that the rags he was wearing were not worth a single coin. The other party certainly had reason to suspect that he was taking advantage of him for fun.
"Don't worry, my master is a big customer, just tell me the price." Chen Xiaobei patted his chest and said with certainty.
His explanation is also convincing.
After all, not all masters are kind people. It is normal for the master to be smooth and slippery, and for the servant to be naked.
The shop owner held out a finger.
"If it's as big as you said, a water bag must be at least ten cents. If you want two, that's twenty cents."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper extended another finger.
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, reached out and took out ten big ones from his arms, and lined them up on the counter one by one.
"These ten are considered a deposit, and I will give you the balance when I come to pick it up."
The store owner's eyes immediately widened like bells, looking at Chen Xiaobei in disbelief.
After a moment of astonishment, a flattering smile appeared on his face, "It's easy to say, easy to say. Don't worry, young master, I can do it in three days."
It’s so heartbreaking, money is such a good thing.
The ten eldest sons lined up, and the title of themselves was changed from little boy to young master.
"Okay, then I'll pick it up in three days. Remember, if it leaks, I will come and tear down your sign."
It may seem a bit funny to put some water in a skin bag and carry fish back to the city, but it's not a good idea now.
After all, a carriage is not a small sum, and it is not a goal that I can achieve in a short time.
Carrying a fishing net, an umbrella and bones on his back, Chen Xiaobei returned home with a full load.
When she saw that she had bought bones, Chen Qiaoer was overjoyed and could give them as a tooth sacrifice, but Cui Hongyu frowned.
Chen Xiaobei took fifty copper coins when he left, but only had a dozen or so when he came back. This trip was not cheap!
According to this method of tossing, even if I get married with tens of thousands of dollars, I'm afraid it will all be wasted.
Chen Xiaobei didn't know what Cui Hongyu was thinking. He washed the bones, added water, and told Chen Qiaoer to light the fire, and he started messing around again.
Chen Xiaobei took out the folding umbrella, clicked it a few times, tore off the umbrella cover, then spread out the fishing net and started sewing.
This scene made Cui Hongyu feel chilled.
He knew the price of an umbrella, which was at least four or five copper coins.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Xiaobei tore the umbrella cover in just three strokes.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad.
My life is so miserable, why did I let such a man suffer? Not only was the money spent lavishly, but it was also a waste of time. A good umbrella could be torn apart at the drop of a hat.
Alas, it seems that I have to work hard in the future, otherwise I really won’t be able to withstand this man’s torment.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't care about so much.
After struggling for more than an hour, I finally got the umbrella net ready.
Chen Qiaoer walked around the net, "Brother, what did you do?"
"I'm going to catch fish and make fish soup for you tonight."
As soon as she heard that there was fish to eat, Chen Qiaoer got excited and clapped her hands again. She even ran to Cui Hongyu and took his hand, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we can eat fish tonight."
Cui Hongyu looked at Chen Xiaobei and hesitated to speak.
She has also seen fishing nets. People cast the nets on the river and then retrieve the nets.
Maybe one or two times out of ten I can catch a fish, but I have never seen anyone netting a fish with a net as big as an umbrella.
Seeing Cui Hongyu looking at him with confusion, Chen Xiaobei understood that the beauty Cui in front of him did not believe that he could catch fish with this thing.
"Kuyu, don't worry, I will definitely let you eat fish tonight."
After saying that, he took two broken bones and left the house with the umbrella net.
Chen Qiaoer became even more excited when she saw him fishing, and followed him jumping up and down.
Seeing the two of them going out like this, Cui Hongyu was not idle. He picked up a broom and cleaned the house, and then went into the house to display his embroidered belongings.
When it comes to embroidery, Cui Hongyu is an expert from all over the country. When she gets married this time, she will naturally bring this property with her.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had already brought his sister Chen Qiaoer to the river. He looked around and chose a place with gentle water flow. He slowly sank the umbrella net.
Then he tied the thin line to a reed nearby.
Tie the reeds with thin threads, this is his blood and tears experience, because he made the net mouth larger, and a one-foot-long fish can get in without any problem.
But such a long fish is very strong. If the fish is allowed to hit inside, it will easily damage the umbrella frame.
So if there is a big fish, the net must be raised as soon as possible.
When Chen Qiaoer saw that there was no movement after sinking the net, she blinked and asked, "Brother, will the fish get into it by themselves?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Don't worry, I will let you drink fish soup tonight."
First class and second class, after about two sticks of incense, Chen Qiaoer couldn't hold back his anger.
"Brother, why don't you pull up the net and see if any fish have gotten in?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at the reeds and remained motionless. He knew that even if there were fish entering the net, they would only be small fish and shrimps.
"Don't worry, as soon as the net moves, the fish at the mouth of the net will run away again."
