Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"Could I borrow your rod and bait to try them out...?"

"Sure!" Liu Aiguo handed the fishing rod and bait to Uncle San with a big smile!

Then he rode away with Yu Li on his bicycle.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Someone murmured enviously, "This young man, he probably caught that bicycle by fishing with a mandarin fish..."

"I never expected that there would be such a master in our Beijing..."

Where are you from?

"Let's go and become his disciples another day!"

……

After Liu Aiguo left, Uncle San did not stay for long.

joke!

What are you doing here?

The fishing rod and bait are both from the original manufacturer; all that's missing are the original corn kernels.

I'll get two bags of corn kernels to try later.

Hmph... That trash Liu Aiguo only managed to get a little over 100 jin of fish from 200 jin of corn. With my skills, Yan Bugui could easily get at least 300 jin!

Three hundred catties of fish!

sizzle...

With 120 yuan, I can get 700 or 800 jin of grain coupons.

Will I still be working in the future?

What the hell? Isn't it better to eat mandarin fish every day?

You can get rich by eating mandarin fish.

I'm going back to get some corn!

Yan Bugui pulled the cart with exceptional strength, and arrived at the courtyard house in just one hour.

He was covered in sweat, but full of energy.

"At home, hurry, hurry... bring me my food ration book... and money, get me the money!"

Uncle San didn't even have time to rest before he started asking for money and tickets.

Auntie San was stunned: "Honey... what are you doing? Didn't you go to catch the fish... why are you asking for money and tickets..."

"Never mind that, we're going to be rich, we're going to be rich... I know how Liu Aiguo is so cunning now..."

"Jie Cheng... Jie Fang... come out here and come with me!"

The saying goes, "Brothers fight together, fathers and sons go to war together."

Yan Bugui, along with his two sons, pulled a cart directly to the grain station.

"I want to buy two hundred catties of corn kernels..."

Many people buy flour, but few buy corn kernels.

But as long as you have money and tickets, nothing else matters.

Corn kernels were cheaper, seven cents a pound, two hundred pounds for fourteen yuan, plus two hundred pounds of grain coupons.

This is pure corn. If it were cornmeal, it would cost about 70-80 cents, and a mixture of cornmeal and cornmeal would be even more expensive.

About a cent.

"Dad..." Yan Jiecheng asked with some concern, "Dad, this is our food ration for only two months, why did you buy all corn kernels?"

"Do not worry!"

Yan Bugui said, "Soon, our family will be able to eat and drink well every day, just like Liu Aiguo!"

"Come with me!"

The three were full of fighting spirit!

When we arrived at the Yongding River, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Despite not having eaten, Yan Bugui felt no hunger at all.

He went directly to the spot where Liu Aiguo had previously caught a big fish, and asked his two sons to help him throw an entire bag of corn kernels into the river using the most authentic method.

"Dad... will this work?"

Yan Jiecheng was both worried and heartbroken for 1.5.

Yan Bugui said, "Don't worry, son... get ready to fry the fish for me!"

call out……

Yan Bugui chuckled, cast his fishing hook, and it went into the water.

He recalled that it took Liu Aiguo about ten minutes to catch his first fish, and then he caught one every few minutes after that.

Liu Aiguo is trash!

How could my fish-catching skills possibly take ten minutes?

Just watch.

Time passed by minute by minute.

However, there was no movement on the water.

Yan Bugui felt a little panicked.

Although there was no clock, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Bugui all knew that at least ten minutes had passed.

But why are there no fish hairs?

Fortunately, at that moment, the pole suddenly started to move.

"They're here... Hahaha..." Yan Bugui laughed heartily, "Son, get the net ready..."

call out……

The next moment, Yan Bugui exerted a little force.

result……

He fished a small fish, no bigger than the palm of his hand, out of the river.

"This..." Yan Jie's mouth dropped open: "Dad... do we even need a net for this?"

Yan Bugui's face darkened.

He didn't say anything, put the small fish into the bucket, and continued fishing.

At this point, Yan Bugui already sensed that something was wrong.

But... a lingering obsession in his heart made him grit his teeth and persevere.

"Pour it all in... pour it all in..."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Bugui still hadn't caught any big fish, so he was going to pour the remaining bag of corn kernels into the water.

But neither of his sons wanted to.

Finally, he poured all the corn in himself.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang both plopped down on the ground.

Sunset and moonrise!

A sky full of stars!

The autumn wind is getting cooler.

The three people were still huddled by the water.

Yan Fugui is still fishing for fish.

“Dad… let’s go home…” Yan Jiecheng said.

Yan Bugui burst into tears, sobbing, "I don't want to live anymore... I don't want to live anymore... I want to jump in..."

thump……

Yan Bugui really did jump straight into the water.
