Courtyard: when the Group Did Not Marry, Now Regret

"Well, I don't charge money either. I heard that you run a restaurant, so you can exchange it with me for equivalent food stamps, oil stamps, etc."

The middle-aged man is also a fine individual, so Jiang Ming's doubts can be seen immediately.

"Sure, it's better this way, then I'll ask someone to weigh it."

Soon, the middle-aged man asked a few people to come over and weigh the fish slightly.

Excluding Jiang Ming's remaining two crucian carp, the remaining fish, including the herring, weighed 120 catties in total.

After estimating the weight, the middle-aged man handed Jiang Ming a stack of bills.

Jiang Ming didn't look at it carefully, and stuffed it into his pocket directly.

The transaction between the two in front of them naturally caught the eyes of everyone around them.

However, everyone seems to be familiar with it, obviously this is not the first time a middle-aged man has collected fish.

"If you have any more fish in the future, you can still sell them to me. I usually hang around here in the afternoon."

"OK, no problem."

The middle-aged man asked someone to take the fish away, and the people around him also dispersed one by one.

Jiang Ming felt a little tired after fishing for a while, so he prepared to collect the pole and go home.

At this time, the old man on the side also became anxious.

"Let's go now, I'm fishing for a while, it's still early."

Jiang Ming shook his head, then laughed.

"I'm not fishing anymore. I'm a little tired from fishing. By the way, sir, I still have a little bait left here. You can keep it for use."

Before, Jiang Ming got a full catty of bait from the system.

When he set off, he took a small piece, which weighed about two or two.

It took about a tael for fishing just now, and there is not much left.

He didn't bother to take it back, so he simply gave it to the old man beside him.

However, this old man is also a fastidious person, and he refuses to ask for it in vain.

"You caught so many fish just now, this bait must be very expensive, I can't ask you for nothing."

As he said that, he stuffed all the money in his pockets to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming roughly counted it, and estimated that there was about 5 yuan. Obviously, the uncle is not a person who is short of money.

He was anxious to go home and didn't bother to bother too much, so he accepted the money and bid farewell to the old man beside him.

Chapter 45 "Full House" Chicken Blood Stone

"Hey, Xiao Jiang, why do you leave work so early today?"

As soon as Jiang Ming entered the courtyard, Yan Laoxi walked in from the house on the back.

Looking at the two crucian carp hanging on Jiang Ming's bicycle and the fishing rod behind the seat, he was also shocked for a moment.

"Did you go fishing?"

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

"There's nothing going on in the factory today, so I just walked for a while to go fishing in Shichahai, let alone me, why did you come back so early?"

At this time, it was only about 4:[-], and it was not yet time for school to end.

According to the previous statement, it was five o'clock for Yan Laoxi to finish school, so Jiang Ming was also a little strange.

"Hi, just like you, after the lecture in the afternoon, I'm free at school, and I just want to go home and see how your chicken is doing."

Jiang Ming nodded, then took a deep look at him and said.

"How are you looking?"

Yan Laoxi said with a smile.

"Your chicken is really well raised. I went to see it just now. Guess what, it has already laid eggs. Although I didn't count them in detail, I guess there must be about 10 of them."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly. In fact, he had already seen it when he went out at noon.

"Let's put the eggs aside, and we'll talk about it later when there are more chickens."

Yan Laoxi had no opinion on this.

"That's fine, but I'll give you more points in the future."

"Okay, don't worry."

Yan Laoxi did not ask for fish.

After all, in this year, condiments are in short supply, and the smell of fish is extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, there are not many people who love to eat fish.

But who is Jiang Ming? He is a person with god-level cooking skills.

Not to mention fish with a fishy smell, even feces with a smell, he can make a scent.

He is going to make crucian carp soup for the two crucian carp right now, which is just for Lin Wan and Duo Duo.

Carrying the crucian carp back home, Lin Wan and Dodo have already returned.

At this time, Lin Wan was making clothes, while Duo Duo was playing with Xiao Huang in the room.

Xiao Huang is the little yellow dog that Jiang Ming bought yesterday, and Duo Duo picked up the name himself.

"Papa, you are back."

Seeing her father coming back, Dodo was very pleasantly surprised, and soon ran towards Jiang Ming with her short legs, and hugged his thigh.

"Girl, why didn't you sleep today?"

Duoduo chuckled, and said in a waxy voice.

"Just now, my mother and I went out to play and bought a lot of good things."

Seemingly thinking of something, she suddenly ran back to the back room.

At this time, Lin Wan also walked to his side and said with a smile on her face.

"Why is it so early today?"

"There is nothing to do in the factory. I went fishing for a while when I was idle and bored."

As he spoke, he pointed to the crucian carp in his hand.

Lin Wan was a little surprised, this was the first time her husband left early after working for so many years.

However, she didn't say anything, but gently helped Jiang Ming take off his coat, and then hung it on the hanger.

"If I had known you were going fishing, I wouldn't have sold fish." Lin Wan's tone was a little reproachful.

At this time, Jiang Ming discovered a half-sized carp swimming around in the water basin in the corner, which was obviously bought by Lin Wan at the market just now.

"It's okay, it's not a conflict. After a while, the carp will be cooked directly in a pot. As for the crucian carp, I will make a soup."

"Your culinary skills are so good, now Duoduo's forehead is being spoiled by you."

There was a slight smile in Lin Wan's eyes.

And Jiang Ming also responded with a smile while putting the crucian carp in the water basin.

"Of course my own daughter should be raised well. If she is tricky, she will be tricky. At worst, I will cook for her every day in the future."

While talking, he suddenly remembered that at noon, he seemed to have used a lucky charm for his wife.

Turning his gaze, he asked tentatively.

"Going out today, did anything strange happen?"

Lin Wan froze for a moment, shook her head and said.

"No, what's weird?"

"Oh it's all right."

Now Jiang Ming was dumbfounded, could it be that the lucky charm is fake?

Just when he had some doubts, Duo Duo, who had just returned to the back room, suddenly ran out again.

Then, like offering a treasure, a fist-sized stone was pointed at him.

"Papa, look, we picked it up outside."

Looking at the stone in his daughter's hand, which seemed to be infected by blood, a stone image suddenly appeared in his mind.

That is bloodstone.

Thinking of this, he also took a deep breath, and then said to Dodo.

"Duoduo, show the things to Papa."

"Here." Dodo was also extremely generous, and handed the stone to Jiang Ming.

At this time, Lin Wan also walked over with a smile.

"I picked it up under the big banyan tree outside the alley before. It looked very beautiful, so I let her play with it."

Jiang Ming observed the stone carefully, and became more and more certain in his heart that this must be an extremely precious chicken blood stone.

"Daughter-in-law, do you know what kind of stone this is?"

Lin Wan was slightly taken aback, with a puzzled expression.

"A stone is a stone, what kind of stone can it be?"

Jiang Ming turned his head and explained.

"This is bloodstone, a very precious jade. According to the past, it was used by the emperor as a seal, a jade seal."

Chicken blood stone is one of the three treasures of the printing table, and it is the best material for making seals.

Its name is because of the color of its body, which is as bright red as chicken blood.
