The waiter at Fengzeyuan asked: "Kid, who are you looking for?"
Wang Junlin cursed endlessly, "What a kid, you are a kid, your whole family is a kid, why am I a kid?" Of course, I just complained in my heart, and then replied with a smile: "Hello, brother, I want to ask if you accept fish here. I went to the river to catch fish today and was lucky enough to catch some. I want to exchange some money to support my family. ." He pointed to the backpack behind the waiter.
This era is not easy for everyone, so it is not unusual for 12-year-old students to use their free time to find something to do to supplement their family income. What is the situation in the city? Just based on the situation around me, I have personally seen a seven or eight-year-old girl from the countryside here help her family carry things to sell in the town, and she is the only one. I won’t talk about it. , I feel bad every time I think about it.) The waiter was also kind and asked Wang Junlin to wait at the back door, and then went up to call someone.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man came out and said with a smile: "Hello, kid, my surname is Luan, and I am the shopkeeper here. In the new society, there is no such thing as a shopkeeper. You can call me Manager Luan, I heard that you caught some fish today and want to sell them. How many are there?"
Wang Junlin looked at the classification of the space and was ready to test the water first: "I caught a 20-pound big grass carp? , and there are thirty small fish weighing two or three pounds, all in this basket. Do you want them?" Of course, the baskets are all hidden from others, and he can put fish from space into the basket at any time.
There was surprise in Manager Luan’s eyes. He originally wanted to come out and take a look. If there was nothing he wanted, just send it away. Someone in their store recently ordered a whole fish feast and wanted to eat a whole fish feast. This The fish must be big. He was still worried about this matter, but he didn't expect it to be unintentional. Fortunately, the waiter didn't chase people away.
"Kid, can you let me see it?"
Then Wang Junlin asked Manager Luan to see the fish. Manager Luan said excitedly: "Kid, when you came to sell fish, you must have asked about the price. Yes, fish is cheaper than pork. I’ll give you 6 cents per pound at most, which is already four cents more than what’s on the market. Do you think that’s okay?”
“Okay, let’s weigh it.”
p>Wang Junlin followed Manager Luan to the back kitchen of the hotel to weigh fish, and happened to be seen by He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu asked: "Er Lin, why are you in the back kitchen of our Fengze Garden?"
Manager Luan asked: "Hey, Zhuzi, do you know this little brother?" At this time, Manager Luan no longer called the children little brother.
"We know you. We live in the front yard of our yard. What, Manager Luan, couldn't this guy bring this fish?"
"Yes, it's this guy "My little brother caught it."
He Yuzhu said to Wang Junlin: "You are so lucky to have caught such a big fish."
Wang Junlin said with a smile. Brother Zhuzhu, it’s just luck.”
Then I weighed the weight and went to the front hall to pay. I received the payment of 60 yuan for 99 kilograms of fish as 100 kilograms. Don’t doubt the purchasing power of 60 yuan in this era. Wang Dashan’s monthly salary is only 48.5 yuan. Wang Junlin knows this Manager Luan did not cheat him. Wang Junlin left as Manager Luan smiled and asked someone to put the big fish in the big fish tank in the foyer.
Before leaving, Manager Luan told Wang Junlin that he could come over at any time if there were any big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms in the future, but he did not dare to say anything about small fish and would ask He Yuzhu to tell him if necessary.
After taking the money and leaving, Wang Junlin changed places and sold fish in the same way, and also sold a few fish on the street. In the afternoon, Wang Junlin earned 300 yuan. Wang Junlin ran to the seed store to sell various crops. I bought all kinds of seeds, it doesn’t matter. I only need to sow the seeds once in the space. As long as they mature, they can lay eggs like chickens without stopping. I also spent some money to buy piglets, chickens, ducks and geese. I didn’t see the cows and lambs, so there’s nothing I can do about it. In this era, cows are for work, sheep are scarce and hard to come by, and the piglets were all bought by luck today. After all the purchases, I still have 210 yuan left. .
Every time Wang Junlin buys something, he goes to a quiet and uninhabited place to operate the space. All the seeds have been planted, and the chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets have also been divided into areas. This space can be described as exciting!
Wang Junlin went to Quanjude and packed up three roast ducks for 15 yuan (refer to the eight to ten yuan for Quanjude roast duck in the early days of reform), and bought a set of ready-made clothes (cotton coats) for his parents for 48 yuan. Yuan, I bought a set for my eldest brother, three younger brothers, four younger sisters, and myself for 75 yuan (these prices are estimates. It is estimated that cotton-padded clothes are definitely more expensive than summer clothes and autumn clothes. It is definitely cheaper to buy cloth and cotton at home. Is there something wrong? I would like readers to comment and correct me. I won’t make too much fuss about the price in the following chapters, just don’t make it outrageous). I have to say that the quality of products of this era is excellent.
After buying some miscellaneous things, I still had 10 yuan left, including a pair of shoes for my family and myself, some stationery for Wang Junsen, some villain books for Wang Junli, and some big white books. Rabbit was specially used to coax his sister, put all the things in the space, and went home struttingly. This purchase greatly satisfied Wang Junlin's shopping desire.
Back home, Wang Dashan and Wang Junshu haven’t returned home yet. Wang Junsen is still wandering around in the courtyard. I wonder what he is studying in the courtyard. Lin Xueling lowers her head to pick up the soles of her shoes. Wang Junlin quietly Returning to her room, she put all her things on the bed, put away her backpack, and then walked slowly to Wang Junli with two big white rabbits. The little girl put her fingers in her mouth and pursed her lips in a daze, not even noticing that Wang Junlin was coming. .
Wang Junlin raised his hand and waved it in front of his sister, and the little girl immediately jumped up: "Second brother, what have you been doing, why are you back now? No one will play with me when you are not here, third brother I just wander around all day.”

Seeing Wang Junlin come back, Lin Xueling asked: "What did you do today? Why are you back now?"
"I have something to do when I go out. I'll keep it a secret. I'll give you a surprise later. "
"Second brother, what's the surprise?" Wang Junli asked cutely.
Wang Junlin first gave one to his mother, and then dangled the white rabbit in front of the little girl, making Wang Junli jump up and down. Finally, he finally "snatched" it and released the white rabbit. In the mouth, the sweetness made my eyes squint, and then I carefully folded the candy wrapper and put it in my pocket.
At this time, Wang Dashan and Wang Junshu came back.
While still teasing his sister, Wang Dashan and Wang Junshu came back. Wang Junlin said: "Mom, I won't cook tonight. I bought something and packed it back."
Before Lin Xueling could ask anything, Wang Junlin shouted loudly: "Miki, come back and help me get my things."
"Okay, second brother."
"Brother, let's get together. Help."
"Okay, Erlin."
The two brothers arrived at Wang Junlin's room.
Wang Dashan asked: "What is this mysterious thing for?"
Lin Xueling smiled and said: "The second brother said he would give us a surprise. Who knows what the surprise is? "
Everything Wang Junlin brought back was covered with paper. He was afraid that the two brothers would be too surprised when they saw it and came to the dining room (the dining room belonged to Wang Dashan and his wife). separated from the room), opened the things, and after a brief silence, Wang Junsen said loudly: "Second brother, are you robbing?"
Wang Dashan regained his composure and patted Wang Junsen's head. Said: "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
Then he looked at Wang Junlin and said: "Er Lin, where did the things come from? Although we are poor, we neither steal nor rob. , rely on your own crafts to make a living, don’t go astray!”
Wang Junlin still underestimated the impact of these things on his family, secretly regretting that he should not buy so many at once, and then explained: "I went fishing in Shichahai today. I caught up with the fish tide. I made several trips and caught a lot of fish. I sold them for a lot of money, so I bought these things."
Dad Although my mother was a little suspicious, as long as it wasn't stolen, who wouldn't want to live a better life under certain conditions? Seeing his parents' suspicion, Wang Junlin said: "He Yuzhu knows that I am selling fish today. I sold it to their Fengze Garden."
After saying this, the family members' doubts were relieved. In fact, this was due to Wang Junsen's usual promotion of Wang Junlin, when Wang Junlin helped him take the blame. , the third child was not only promoted at home, but also in the courtyard and school. Wang Junsen described him as someone who could climb trees to catch birds and dive to catch fish. Wang Junlin did not expect that the third child would usually be so talkative. good oneA cover-up.
Lin Xueling, who was the first to react, said in a lowered voice: "Er Lin, I know you want to contribute to the family, but you must pay attention to safety." After saying that, her family nodded in agreement, even the youngest Wang Junli also nodded seriously, and Wang Junlin felt warm in his heart. Sure enough, the family's first concern was his own safety.
Wang Junsen said with a serious expression: "Who is my second brother? He goes up to the nine heavens to hold the moon, and goes down to the five oceans to catch turtles. He is nicknamed the Little White Dragon in the Waves. My sister doesn't often say that she is clingy. Is the hair better than that of a monkey? My second brother doesn’t need to glue his hair, he is just a monkey.”
Wang Junlin has a black line on his forehead. He has taught his younger brothers and sisters something.
