Chapter 185
“There is no fish pond. These are all caught in the river. I asked you to help me buy a boat before. I used that boat to go out and catch them.”
Shi Lin explained casually while untying the fish.
Little Pan’er beside him was also eager to try, but was stopped by Shi Lin. The little guy was delicate and would definitely cry if he was pricked by a fish.
“Why are the fish in the river so big and so many? I’ve seen others go to the big river to catch fish, but I’ve never seen so many caught.”
Shi Zhenguo expressed his incomprehension.
At the same time, he didn’t just watch, but came forward to help Shi Lin untie the fish.
“Hehe, maybe I’m lucky.” Shi Lin smiled and didn’t explain much.
As the two were untying the fish, Lao Shi and Shi Yuying came back from the courtyard gate with the little moose.
“Wow! So many fish!” As soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, Shi Yuying saw the fish in the courtyard first.
Seeing this, Lao Shi also smiled and said, “If I had known that Xiaoliu was going to go to the river to cast a net, we wouldn’t have to buy fish in the morning.”
With so many fish at home, there is almost no other possibility except that Shi Lin caught them.
After calling a halt to the little moose, Lao Shi got out of the car and walked into the yard, saying hello to Shi Zhenguo,
“Boss, you are here, where are sister-in-law and Yulin?”
Shi Zhenguo said before that he would bring his whole family to help, why is Shi Zhenguo alone now?
Hearing this, Shi Zhenguo showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said:
“Yulin’s wife is pregnant, and she happened to have an appointment to see a doctor today. I didn’t know before. Your sister-in-law and Yulin took her to see a doctor this morning.”
Shi Yulin is Shi Zhenguo’s eldest son. When he was seven or eight years old, he moved to the county town with Shi Zhenguo and rarely interacted with relatives in his hometown.
Shi Zhenguo always takes time to actively participate in any event in his hometown, while his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter rarely come back.
Originally, this time, Shi Lin’s family built a house, which was a big deal. Shi Zhenguo seriously asked his family to come and help,
But in the end, they still found an excuse not to come. His daughter-in-law had to see a doctor and consider the unborn child…
Shi Zhenguo had no choice but to come by himself.
Seeing his elder brother’s embarrassment, Shi Zhengang smiled and said:
“It’s okay, the child is important. When the house is built and the fire is put into the fire, come and have fun together.”
Shi Zhenguo nodded and said seriously: “Well, when the fire is put into the fire, I will definitely call them all.”
“Well, I will notify you in advance when the fire is chosen.” Shi Zhengang nodded.
People of their generation attach great importance to the concept of family, and they all hope that their sons and nephews can be close to each other and interact more.
While talking, Lao Shi and Shi Yuying also joined in to help with the fish. The four adults were very efficient when they were together. It took only about ten minutes to finish.
The catch was packed into a sack, plus a large wooden basin, and a 40-jin grass carp was not packed.
Everyone estimated that the total weight of these fish should be about 300 jin.
Seeing this, Shi Zhenguo suggested: “Leave a few small ones to eat, and send the rest to sell.”
In the morning, Shi Zhengang and his friends went to the market to buy not much fish and meat, just a big pig head and two carps.
The rest were vegetables, rice, noodles, and incense, candles, firecrackers and other items for worship.
Shi Lin shook his head and said:
“No, I’m not going to sell them. I’ll go to Brother Quan to get some ice cubes to put on the ice.
Get some for today, and when everyone is going back, let them take two fish each.”
Ah? !
Two fish for each person who came to help? !
Hearing this, Shi Zhengang, Shi Zhenguo, and Shi Yuying were all stunned.
These fish are not small, most of them are one or two kilograms, and some are seven or eight kilograms, or even more than ten kilograms.
And they are all fresh. If you send them to sell, you can basically sell them for more than one yuan per kilogram, and at least a few yuan per fish.
It’s a bit generous to give them to others.
Shi Yuying thought about it, and felt that it was not her turn to decide this matter. She didn’t say anything and looked at Lao Shi.
Lao Shi thought about it and said, “Okay, you can do whatever you want with the fish you caught.”
Everyone came to help for free. Giving some fish to everyone is nothing, anyway, my son can make money.
Recently, seeing Shi Lin making a lot of money, Lao Shi’s view of money has also quietly changed, and he has become much more generous than before.
“Ah?! Really give it away?”
Shi Zhenguo originally thought that the third brother would definitely not agree, and he didn’t need to ask for it.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhengang actually agreed? !
He couldn’t help but say,
“We are helping to build a house, so we just need to treat you to a meal, no need to send gifts.”
“And fish is more valuable than meat here. A pound of meat is basically around one dollar.
This slightly larger fishFish costs one yuan and three or four yuan per pound. It’s better to give meat than fish! It’s cheaper. ”
The meat Shi Zhenguo mentioned here refers to domestic pork.
Hearing this, Shi Lin smiled and said:
“We just have fish, so let’s give them away. Anyway, they are all caught in the river, and they don’t cost money.”
“But…” Shi Zhenguo opened his mouth, still feeling that this was too generous.
He estimated that these fish should be able to sell for about 400 yuan, which is enough to build a brick house, but Shi Lin actually wanted to eat them and give them away.
That’s a brick house!
“Forget it, boss, let the young people do whatever they want, we old people can’t take care of them for a lifetime.”
At this moment, Shi Zhengang turned his head and persuaded Shi Zhenguo, “Let him do it.”
“…”
Shi Zhenguo glanced at Shi Zhengang and thought, he is a young man who spends money lavishly, why do you let him do it?
“What meat to give? Why did I hear you say you want to send meat when I was in the kitchen? ”
At this time, Ye Meihui came out of the kitchen and asked.
Seeing Ye Meihui coming out, Shi Zhenguo thought, ‘Hey, the third son’s wife is here, I wonder if you two are still generous?’
Shi Zhenguo knew Ye Meihui a little bit, and he was not a very generous person.
However, what he didn’t expect was that after Ye Meihui heard Shi Yuying’s story about sending fish, she actually nodded and agreed.
Just told Shi Lin:
“When sending people, choose this kind of one or two kilograms, send them all about the same size, don’t send some people big and some small, that’s not appropriate. ”
Shi Lin nodded, “I know. ”
This……
Seeing this, Shi Zhenguo was really confused.
If Shi Lin and Shi Zhengang were to be generous on such a happy event as building a house, he could understand.
But Ye Meihui, she was not a very generous person! How come she became so generous?
Is this family overwhelmed by the happy event of building a house?
No one explained to Shi Zhenguo. After talking about sending fish, Ye Meihui said to Shi Lin:
“There is no meat in the morning. Son, kill two fish and cook them in the morning.”
“Okay. ”
Shi Lin nodded, and directly selected two five or six jin mandarin fish, and killed them with a knife on the spot.
Shi Zhenguo was even more confused.
You eat this for breakfast?!
Two mandarin fish weighing more than ten jin in total?!
This can be sold for more than ten yuan! It is equivalent to his weekly salary!
Fish worth more than ten yuan, just for breakfast?!
It was really caught in the river, so it doesn’t count?!
