National Tide 1980

Slow sales were just the beginning of Ning Weimin's frustration.

In order to raise fish, he soon paid the price of his health.

Fortunately, another pair of "zebra gods" also showed signs of giving birth.

Ning Weimin quickly built two more fish tanks.

This time, his cabin was filled with six large glass tanks filled with water.

He also had to use light bulbs to bake from time to time, making the room very steamy.

In addition, the weather is getting hot, people often sweat when they move, and the windows in the back room are few and stuffy, so can there be no trouble?

Unknowingly, some red bumps appeared on the boy's back, which were painful and itchy, and he couldn't stop scratching them all day long.

He himself didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was prickly heat.

But when Kang Shude saw Ning Weimin taking off his vest, revealing his red and swollen back like toad skin, he was really shocked.

The old man has experience and knows that this is caused by too much moisture.

He quickly forced Ning Weimin to stop everything he was doing and go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Sure enough, the doctor immediately told me it was eczema.

Ning Weimin got a lot of money back from the hospital, and now Ning Weimin was depressed.

Of course, the old man felt distressed, so he cooked red bean porridge when he returned home, and also made two special dishes: boiled winter melon meatballs and stir-fried bitter melon to help Ning Weimin get rid of moisture.

It's inevitable that you have to persuade me at the dinner table.

Kang Shude raised his head tactfully.

"You, this business is really not easy."

"Who says it's not the case. In just half a month, I was exhausted from baking and drying all these things. I was so itchy that I spent fifty yuan. After considering the cost of making these things, it was all gone. Twenty dollars profit.”

Ning Weimin felt sad and naturally complained about his suffering.

Unexpectedly, the old man said that.

"I thought you didn't know, do you know? Then what do you think? Now that something has happened to your body and bones, what are you going to do in the future?"

I suffered a lot of crowding.

But knowing that Master cares about him, what can Ning Weimin say?

All I can do is work hard and make things right for myself.

"Hey, I know you feel sorry for me, but what can I do? My three-color fairy has more than a hundred small fish left, and this zebra fairy has another 400 fish. I...can't do it all. Throw it away?"

"It's a pity not to mention that more than a hundred yuan was lost in vain. These things are also living creatures."

"There is no chance of releasing them alive. These foreigners will die if they are released into the pond. I can only make do with it first..."

But this time, the old man's words sounded even more "nice".

"Well, you are right. We must accumulate virtue and do good deeds. We cannot harm little creatures, otherwise we will suffer retribution."

"The most important thing is not to throw away more than a hundred yuan in vain. That's right, not all small businesses are like this, just like selling vegetables..."

"Yes, you're a fish seller, so that's the same thing. It's an ascetic business. What else could you do otherwise? It's necessary to endure hardships and be careful with your budget..."

Ning Weimin was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head.

"Yes, I heard it. You are trying to squeeze me. Do you think I am willing? But I can't just sit back and have nothing."

"Actually, to be honest, this business is really good. I have a way of raising fish that no one else has, and it's a one-of-a-kind trick. As long as I can hire people, have professional equipment and a dedicated place, it's actually pretty good. of."

"It's just that the timing is a bit wrong, the market is not good, the policies are inflexible, there are no local areas, and we can't even find people to do the work. There is no match anywhere..."

As a result, when Kang Shude heard this, he agreed even more.

"Well, yes, it makes sense. What you said is absolutely right. Hey, youth is your talent anyway, so what does it mean to go against the grain? I just want you to feel good about it."

But the next sentence directly hit Ning Weimin's heart.

"But let me tell you, if you continue to work, be careful of the precious stamps in your box. No matter how good the camphor wood box is, it can't withstand so much moisture. Didn't you look, there are mushrooms growing on your windows? . I dare say that within half a month at most, your clothes will be moldy and moss will grow on the foot of your bed. Do you believe it?"

Ning Weimin is not in a hurry?

That was a long-cherished wish from the previous life, and a big plan was made in this life.

If this really happens, he will definitely hit the wall.

"Oh, I believe it! I believe it! Don't take my pleasure, old man. Thank you for reminding me! When I get back, I will put my box in your room first."

Following him was like a deflated rubber ball, asking for mercy.

"Let me tell you, don't be so arrogant. In fact, I know that I have annoyed you so much recently and interfered with your normal life and rest."

"I won't say anything else, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will seize the time as soon as possible and deal with these fish. I will also give away these fish tanks. I will think of something else later..."

Seeing that Ning Weimin admitted his mistake, Kang Shude finally agreed.

He nodded happily and reminded him of some issues that he hadn't ignored.

"Well, that's right. As the saying goes, listen to others and eat enough. In fact, it's not that I bother you, the key is that the neighbors are also annoying you. That is to say, the Mi family and the Bian family have just benefited from you, and they don't talk about it. That’s all.”

"Listen to what I say, and don't turn a deaf ear to what I say. In the past two days, quickly find some free time and tell everyone in our courtyard one by one that you have paid the water and electricity bills this month, and you will not pay them in the future. It’s such a big fanfare to toss the fish.”

"Especially the Luo family at the entrance of the courtyard. They don't owe you anything. They haven't given you a word of advice. They are giving you face. You have to accept this love."

"Don't go back to the Luo family empty-handed. Is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family pregnant? Get some brown sugar, millet or something, or buy some eggs."

Ning Weimin couldn't help but be convinced.

Only then did he realize that there were some things that he really didn't think carefully about.

"Okay, everything is up to you. Look at the fuss this has caused, what am I trying to achieve? It's like "I received an extra three to five dou". I'm not asking for trouble for myself."

Now the old man was happy and asked deliberately.

"Do you regret it? To be honest, have you ever thought that it would be better if you didn't give up your job?"

If Ning Weimin was really a man, he would not be vague in his harsh words.

"No, really not. I still say that this job is nothing to me. Who am I? What I am best at is digging out cakes from the ground and grabbing gold with my hands. Please bear with me for a few days, and I'm sure I can find a new job. I’ll show you how to make money with the Midas touch.”

Kang Shude liked his enthusiasm and couldn't help but praise him.

"Okay, you have ambition and a bit of indomitable steel fork."

Then he revealed a piece of good news that really surprised Ning Weimin.

"But, I've found a way to make money for you. Now, after dinner, you can take a hundred yuan and go to the trust store to pick out a bicycle with a back seat. Come early tomorrow Get up, I'll take you to pick up money under the altar."

But he was happy, but Ning Weimin didn't understand.

"How can you buy a car? You've got a lot of money... What kind of money do you want me to pick up?"

Then he slapped his forehead and thought of something.

The so-called altar root actually refers to the foot of the wall of the Temple of Heaven.

Due to the abandonment of the park during the movement, the walls of the Temple of Heaven at this time were in dilapidated condition.

The park is also full of wild smoke, thorns and thorns, and many scorpions breed there.

As we all know, scorpions are valuable Chinese medicinal materials that can be used to treat rheumatism. At this time, pharmacies also charge a lot of money.

If you are good at catching scorpions, you can make money this way.

So he thought he had a clear mind and shouted as if he suddenly understood.

"Oh, I understand. Are you going to catch scorpions? The pharmacy charges a lot for that stuff. Do you understand this?"

Unexpectedly, the answer was completely wrong.

The old man glanced at him disdainfully.

"Go away, what are you thinking about? I don't have that ability! Can my presbyopia catch a scorpion? A scorpion stings me. Besides, is this the right month for you? Don't talk nonsense. You can do whatever you are asked to do. When the time comes, you will Just know it.”
