Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Yanping stepped on a piece of green grass, and took out an old grass sprout with fluffy white flowers. On the small scale he was carrying, the golden crosshair was already a bit blurry. The remaining weights were spinning slowly.
Beside the pond.
A group of old men are still sitting steadily. Just looking at their expressions, everyone is satisfied and has achieved a great harvest.
Look again at the bucket at your feet...
Zhang Yanping retracted his neck in embarrassment: "Well, sometimes, you can't even boast."
Look at this big brother, the BMW he drove in the morning, the fishing rod in his hand must have at least five digits, and his sports shoes and jacket, which ones are not famous brands? Early in the morning, I heard him share what hooks and baits he used and how unique they were.
But the fish in the pond don’t look at this!
Look!
In this folding bucket, there are a total of three loaches, five loaches, and two ears of wheat.
Others... not even a single river shrimp was caught.
Zhang Yanping stammered for a while, and finally could only say awkwardly: "Brother, I'm a bit unlucky today..."
Let’s go see the second one, okay? This was the uncle who held a four-digit fishing rod and finally caught a small crucian carp of about ten centimeters.
In addition, you can also catch a handful of platyfish and wheat ears - good guys, if you keep fishing like this, you won't be afraid of anything else in this pond. All the platyfish and wheat ears will be caught!
The seventh cousin is right, this kind of fish is really greedy and stupid!
He walked around the pond one by one, feeling that his calves were about to become rounded. In the end, he could only stand back to the original position in embarrassment, and then stuffed the nickname he was wearing back into his waistband.
The weights were falling heavily, just like his heavy heart.
What else do you call it? What is there to say? The biggest harvest here is just one grass carp.
Still not too big.
"Then what..."
She Niuru was rarely at a loss for words. He thought for a long time before sorting out the words: "Everyone, it's five o'clock. Everyone knows the rules of our fishing."
"Since everyone is new here and not very lucky, we won't weigh you today. Let's just look at it with the naked eye."
"Today's winner is the man who caught grass carp - congratulations, grass carp man! You will get a cup of green tea exclusively provided by us! The price is 10,000 yuan per pound. Can you make it in a thermos cup? Here, should we use our own glass?"
Brother Grass Carp was overjoyed and laughed heartily at this moment: "Hahaha, I'll tell you how good my skills are, hahaha!"
Now when I look at the small catch in the big bucket, I feel that it is particularly pleasing to the eye, as if what I am catching is not a worthless grass carp, but a blue fin tuna worth a thousand gold per gram.
As for whether the prize was green tea or not, he was not very interested.
Instead, I touched my belly and thought to myself: Although the two bowls of rice at noon have not been digested yet, I wonder if I can buy another dinner? If possible, you can pack a few more copies and take them back...
However, Zhang Yanping has now regained his composure.
"in addition--"
He walked around for a while and then looked at the elder brother next to him with embarrassment:
"Brother, look at your harvest today, there are only three loaches... I'm sorry, let's make an appointment to come here for a day of weeding whenever it's more convenient."
Brother Loach's face turned green.
After so many years of fishing, it’s not like I’ve never been in the air force, but there’s never been a time like this! Someone almost dragged him into the pond by throwing a random trap on the ground. He was a good bait and a good hook, so why didn't he catch a serious fish?
There are only three loaches, how can they be used as a dish when we go back?
He was suffocating and his face didn't look good, but he was also a well-established person in the Tieba forum, so he couldn't do such a thing as defaulting on his debt.
He just looked at Zhang Yanping angrily:
"Brother, I will definitely do the work for you. I will come tomorrow. But can you think of a way to find me a place to live in the village? I am now signing up for fishing the day after tomorrow."
He couldn't believe it. There was something he couldn't catch in such a big fish pond!
This time, it’s a battle of dignity!
Zhang Yanping underestimated Diao Lao's persistence and was stunned when he heard this.
But who is he?
He is Zhang Yanping, whose address book is full of connections!
After being in the village for so many days, there was nothing he didn't know about every household, so he patted his chest and said, "Okay, it's refreshing!"
But what should be said must be said: "Brother Ni Loach, we will cover three meals a day for you to work, but today's dinner and a place to stay, I have to find a place for you. If you are willing, just pay some money Bar."
As a fellow villager, it's okay to let someone stay for one night, but this is my own business (it hasn't been negotiated yet), and it's not worth owing a favor for this.
In addition, the village is full of elderly people who have little daily income. If there is an opportunity to help earn some, Zhang Yanping would also like to take it.
A night's stay at the Farmhouse Villa costs several hundred yuan. He asked for fifty yuan for help. Is that okay?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the loach brother couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and actually smiled: "You mean... dinner is still the same price? Then I'll order three portions first!"
Zhang Yanping's eyebrows jumped.
Good guy, this is a drunkard's intention and not the wine.
It's true that he plans to make some money from the lunch box, but except for fishing reservations, this business cannot be opened easily. Otherwise, just because of those three melons and two dates, the seventh cousin would have to cook more meals for several people a day, which is really not worth it.
He has not forgotten that the main purpose of recruiting these old fishermen is to get money from them and sell more honey tea and so on.
So he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, we won't cover dinner. I'll find a place for you to live, and you can eat dinner with others."
On the other hand, he explained in a good voice: "Brother Nilu, you have also seen that we country people do hard work, and what we eat at noon and dinner are all hard vegetables. There are ribs, roasted meat, and the eel. Crucian carp’s.”
"I told you today that my vegetables cost twenty yuan per catty. I was not lying. I have been selling them in the vegetable market for months."
"You said that at this cost, a bowl of rice costs 40 yuan. If we can't make money, we still pay you back. Let's forget it. It's very expensive."
"It's not cost-effective for you to eat, and it's not cost-effective for us to stay together. I'll find you an authentic farmhouse meal."
The more he said this, the more excited Brother Loach became.
People like them, who drive around in their cars, have never tasted farm food? I have tried them at all price ranges.
But a meal worth hundreds or even thousands doesn’t taste like that! At first I thought it was okay when I ate it, but now when I compare it to this, it’s heaven and earth!
We’ve already had a feast of flat peaches, who would still want to eat those cold steamed buns?
Brother Loach solemnly held his hand: "Brother, I will follow your food. You decide how much a meal will cost!"
