Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Page 19

"Where the hell are you going to shoot?"

Two minutes later, Liu Aiguo saw two men, each clutching their groin, limping and walking in from outside the courtyard into it.

sizzle...

Good guy!

He Yuzhu got his revenge.

Liu Aiguo smiled and pushed the cart back into his house.

cool!

That's killing two birds with one stone.

Not only did they get their revenge and thoroughly humiliate Sha Zhu, but they also no longer needed to lend Xu Damao their bicycle.

Of course, Xu Damao himself didn't have the courage or the face to come and borrow the car.

The first time I rode my bike I crashed, and the second time I hit someone. How can I borrow a bike now?

Even if he had the nerve to ask to borrow the car, Liu Aiguo would have the nerve to refuse.

Of course, Xu Damao wouldn't take the risk.

This bicycle is not easy to ride!

It's no big deal if I fall down myself, but if I accidentally knock over the factory's movie projector, that would be a serious offense.

The midday sun was a bit too bright.

Every household has started cooking.

The courtyard became lively.

At this time, the use of water was different from that in later generations.

It's not that water pipes run directly to every household.

At that time, the tap water pipes were for public use.

The entire courtyard house has three water pipes, located in the front yard, middle yard, and back yard.

Each water pipe had a pool with three or four taps on it.

That's enough.

However, when it comes to cooking, I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Liu Aiguo took a large bluefish from the system's pond, put it in a basin, and went out with the basin and a knife in hand.

I'm so tired of eating stir-fried eggs with scallions these past few days.

Let's try something different today, how about some boiled fish?

A grass carp, more than a foot long.

This grass carp is so big and so fat. Liu Aiguo weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be about seven or eight pounds.

Even if Liu Aiguo had a large appetite, he couldn't possibly finish a meal in one sitting.

But it doesn't matter.

We have system space.

Make more, then put it into the system, so it's always fresh and ready to use, even after 100,000 years.

"Swish...swish...swish..."

Liu Aiguo was sharpening his knife by the pool.

People nearby who were washing vegetables, rinsing rice, or fetching water all looked at Liu Aiguo.

Originally, everyone was envious of Aunt Yi.

Because Aunt Yi was actually washing rice.

Eat white rice!

This is not something that ordinary families can afford; even during festivals, they can't bear to eat white rice.

But for Aunt Yi's family, this really was just a regular meal.

The old couple in that family have more money than they can spend, why don't they go and sell more food coupons or something?

However, when Liu Aiguo brought out the large grass carp, Aunt Yi suddenly felt that her rice didn't taste so good anymore.

"Hey……"

Uncle Er's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "This fish is amazing...it's so big...Patriotic, this fish must weigh at least ten pounds, right?"

"No!" Liu Aiguo said, "It's only a little over eight jin!"

"Hiss hiss hiss... More than eight pounds!"

"What a big fish!"

"This... must be quite a lot of money!"

"Money is nothing, the key is that we don't have meat coupons... This eight-pound fish should cost at least five pounds of meat coupons!"

In those days, fish wasn't considered meat, so it was cheaper to buy and didn't require as many coupons.

Even so, not everyone can afford it.

The crowd buzzed with discussion, some even secretly swallowing hard.

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "No... I didn't buy these fish, I caught them myself, in the river outside, they didn't cost me anything..."

This made it even harder for many people to remain calm.

Everyone was going to complain about you eating such a big fish.

It's fine if you bought it yourself.

But this thing didn't cost any money.

Everyone was immediately at a loss for what to do.

"Where did you catch this?" Uncle Yan Bugui even ran from the front yard to Liu Aiguo's side.

He is a teacher, but he also enjoys fishing and is quite good at it.

"I forgot too!"

Liu Aiguo said, "Yesterday, when I went shopping, I saw a river to the west, so I fished by the river for a while and caught this big fish!"

"Hiss..."

Uncle San was so envious he was practically drooling.

Things that don't cost money.

The key point is that this is meat.

If you pickle it with salt, it'll be enough to feed the whole family for a month.

Of course, you have to eat it sparingly, one piece a day.

"That should be the Yongding River... Are there fish this big in the Yongding River?" Uncle San expressed his doubt.

Liu Aiguo said, "You don't know... don't you often go fishing?"

"I've never been to the Yongding River, it's too far!" Uncle San said. "Aiguo... Tomorrow is Sunday, why don't you take me there on your bicycle, and we'll go fishing on the Yongding River..."

Uncle San was also envious.

Wow, such a big fish!

If even a half-baked fisherman like Liu Aiguo can catch fish like that, wouldn't my skills drive me crazy?

Chapter 019 Jia Zhangshi borrows vegetables, throws a tantrum with a stick.

"Patriotism...please take me there..."

Uncle San looked at Liu Aiguo with longing.

Once we find a place, we won't have to worry about meat anymore.

Uncle San was very eager for it.

Besides the Third Uncle, there was also Jia Zhangshi.

Although she doesn't know how to fish, once she knows where to fish, she still finds a way to catch fish.

Liu Aiguo smiled.

He would never take those beasts fishing!
