Chapter 31 Catching Fish
on the pier.

A fishing boat was docked there, and three men got off the boat carrying the fishing baskets.

The people around saw it and moved over: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Seeing that the weather is going to be windy, we should take the boat back early."

"How's the harvest?"

"The harvest is not bad. The big fish and the small fish made three baskets together."

"Three baskets must weigh about a hundred catties, that's pretty decent."

"Well, let's make do, all you do is pin your head on your trouser belt."

Fishing is dangerous. When a big wave passes by, a boat full of people may fall into the river.

This kind of thing happens often, and the people on the pier have also heard of it.

Hearing this now, the envy faded.

The three fishermen smiled, put the fish baskets on the ground, and sold the fish directly on the pier.

"This carp is really big, it must weigh six to seven catties, how do you sell it?" Someone asked.

"Five Wen, five Wen per catty." On the other side stretched out five fingers.

The people who come and go around here are coolies except merchants, and most of them know the market, so he didn't ask for more, and directly offered the lowest price.

"What about this?"

"This is a silver carp, six cents a catty."

"what about this?"

"This is grass carp!"

After asking about the price, some people left, some stopped, and some directly picked out the fish they wanted and asked the fishermen to weigh them.

At this time, a chubby figure got into the crowd, with a small head poking out from the gap.

She stared at the fish stall with scorching eyes, as if staring at a rare treasure, and there was still a faint liquid on the corner of her mouth that was about to overflow.

"Gudong!"

Fat Miao'er swallowed hard, staring intently at the fish in the fish basket, motionless, as if trying to stare at it out of a hole.

This strangeness finally caught the stall owner's attention.

"Where is the baby, where are your parents?"

The stall owner glanced at it, and saw that Fat Miao'er's clothes were torn but clean, and his hair was combed neatly.

He didn't associate her with the little beggar, but thought she was brought here by the elders of the family.

"The elders are at home!"

Hearing this, Fat Miao'er turned his head to look at the stall owner, then quickly turned his gaze back to the fish.

"Children can't run around, be careful of being sold by flower auctioneers."

The stall owner saw that Fat Miao'er was young, so he made a noise to scare her.

"Got it, uncle."

Fat Miao'er smiled innocently, and moved to the side with small steps in order to prevent herself from blocking other fish buyers.

The stall owner took another look and saw that she was honest and quiet, not saying much, so he ignored her and greeted the customers directly.

"Sell fish! Sell fish!"

"The freshly caught fish are all alive, so buy two and go back for a tooth-beating sacrifice."

"Give me one."

"Give me one too, pick a smaller one."

"I want carp, about a catty."

People bought fish one after another, and within a short time, the fish in one basket had been bought in sevens and eighties, leaving only a few small fish the size of a palm, which were dumped into another basket by the stall owner.

"Why are you still here?"

The stall owner turned his head and saw that Fat Miao'er was still looking at his fish with the same movement, expression, and eyes, so he couldn't help asking.

"I'm watching the fish!" Fat Miao'er raised his head, glanced faintly, and said softly.

"This fish is so beautiful!"

It must be delicious, Fat Miao'er thought secretly in her heart.

The stall owner: "..."

the other side.

After selling the wild vegetable dumplings, Li Xiaodao and others who were about to close the stall saw that Fat Miao'er hadn't come back, so they looked for it with a basket and a bucket.

"Fat Meow!"

"Fat Meow!"

Li Xiaodao yelled twice from afar.

Hearing the movement, Fat Miao'er got up slowly, and walked towards the direction of the four people step by step.

"Sold out?" Fat Miao'er glanced into the basket.

"Well! It's sold out, there are many people buying today, so finish it early."

Li Xiaodao stretched his waist, his tone was relaxed.

Taking a glance from the corner of the eye, he noticed Fat Miao'er's listless appearance, and asked quickly.

"What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?" Li Xiaodao's face became serious.

"It's okay, no one bullied me!" Fat Miao'er shook her head, her little head drooping.

She secretly thought, eating wild vegetable dumplings every day, without salt or oil, the birds are almost fading out of her mouth.

"I just want to eat fish." Fat Miao'er couldn't help muttering.

This sentence was just heard by Li Xiaodao, he paused, raised his hand to touch Fat Miao'er's head, and asked softly: "Little Fat Miao'er, do you want to eat fish?"

"I think!" Fat Miao'er nodded honestly, and continued: "But fish is very expensive."

She has just heard that carp is five cents a catty.

A small one costs more than ten yuan, enough for them to eat wild vegetable dumplings for several days.

Making money is not easy!

She's a budget cat now.

After struggling for a moment, Fat Miao'er still shook her head firmly: "Don't eat it for now, we will buy fish when we have money."

Fat Miao'er raised her arms, clenched her fists, and secretly cheered herself up.

For the fish, work hard and work hard!
Fat Meow, come on!

"Isn't it just eating fish? What's the problem? Let's just catch it."

If he wanted to eat something else, Li Xiaodao really had no choice.

Fish, you can think of a way.

Grasp?
Fat Miaoer successfully caught the word, and his eyes lit up: "Can you catch fish? How do you catch it?"

"Take me there quickly." Fat Miao'er couldn't help urging.

Her eyes are black and bright, as bright as the stars in the sky, full of joy is about to overflow.

What a child!

Li Xiaodao smiled knowingly, lowered his head, stared at the cuff that Fat Miao'er was grasping forcefully, and felt a sense of pride in being an older brother.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Li Xiaodao lovingly took Fat Miao'er's little hand, held it in his palm, feeling the softness.

Li Xiaodao thought happily: his sister is so cute!
……

Leaving the pier, the group walked northward along the trail for about two quarters of an hour. After crossing a meadow, they stopped in front of a small stream.

"It's here."

Li Xiaodao explained: "This place is very close to the pier in the town, and the water flows from there. In the past, we would come here to catch fish before meal time. If we are lucky, we can catch two or three fish to fill our stomachs. .”

While listening to Li Xiaodao's words, Fat Miao'er looked towards the creek ahead.

The creek is not big, it is in the shape of a small crooked river. The water inside is very clear. Standing here, you can see small fish swimming in it, and the aquatic plants, sand, stones, and soil inside are also clear.

The most important point is that the water here is not deep, only [-] to [-] centimeters. Children of the age of Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, and Compass don't have to worry about being submerged.

"Wait here for us, don't run around, I'll go down and catch fish for you."

After explaining, Li Xiaodao dropped the bucket in his hand, took off his straw sandals, rolled up his trousers, gearing up, eager to try.
