Chapter 19 Fish Goods
"Cut down a phone number," Lin Tao said to Leng Yuhu on the way back: "When you go to Dihua, you can contact this person directly. This person is a train conductor on the railway. Before you buy the ticket, you call him in advance and say he is Lao Lin's friend. Buy the ticket as he said, and get on the train, put a few sacks of melons on the interface of the carriage where he is located, so as to save some shipping costs. But don't forget to bring a cigarette to the conductor before getting off the train."
Leng Yuhu was a little unconfident and asked while driving: "Who is Lao Lin? What do he say about his relationship with Lao Lin?"
"He doesn't have time to ask." Lin Tao said with a smile: "There are still flight attendants like him who carry private goods on the train. How can he remember who Lao Lin is? Anyway, he doesn't bring him to anyone. If you really ask, just say Lao Lin is your distant cousin."
The reason why Lin Tao remembered this flight attendant was that he often went on business trips to Yangling, Shaanxi in his previous life and met this person on trains many times. This person is very talkative. Lin Tao often met his specialties in Western Xinjiang with large bags of fruits and vegetables in summer and dried fruits in winter, including snow lotus and snow chrysanthemums, etc. I asked, and then I knew that this was also a kind of extra money for flight attendants like him. But after all, it is not the majority. Ordinary passengers are not allowed to bring so many. Sometimes it is convenient for people to take care of themselves.
Leng Yuhu nodded and said that he had written it down.
Seeing that he was so serious and acting so studious, Lin Tao thought of this person who had not left the province yet, and thought about it and said, "When you get off the train there, don't stop by the train station, just rent a tricycle out of the station and take the Guaroon to a little farther away from the station. Those who pedal the tricycle know that the fruit wholesale market is the best there. Don't worry about how to leave the station. There are many people on the platform wearing blue vests or yellow vests to help people move things. Your sack of melons
It's just right to move back ten yuan. When you leave the station, if someone, especially young girls, ask you to talk to you, don't pay attention. At this stage, there are many people who are dressed in good clothes to cheat people, saying that they have lost their wallet, and they want to ask you how much you borrow to make a phone call. When you agree, three or five men will come up, saying that they haven't eaten, asking you how many hundred yuan you borrow, and when the company gets the money, they will pay you back... This kind of scam is just to deceive people from other places, so you have to be careful."
"There are such liars?" Young Master Leng Yuhu went out, listening to novelty, but was a little worried: "How to prevent it?"
Lin Tao smiled and said, "Simple, don't stay at the train station for too long. Don't pay attention to anyone asking anything. Just hire a tricycle to go to the fruit wholesale market. There are small hotels next to the fruit wholesale market, which are not like train stations. Many small hotels near the train station are used to dig holes and deceive people, so don't stay. Those who ride tricycles are hard-working and usually don't lie..."
Leng Yuhu had little experience in going out, so he asked whatever he thought of. Along the way, the two of them quickly returned home in a question and answer.
This car of melons was a test of the waters. Leng Yuhu and Uncle Zhang discussed the price before. Uncle Zhang heard that Leng Yuhu had to pull a few more cars behind him, but this car didn't ask for money. Leng Yuhu didn't insist. Now Leng Yuhu drove the car directly to Lin Tao's doorstep, got off the car and unloaded the melons at Lin Tao's house.
Lin Tao hurriedly said, "Our family can't eat so much... If you lend someone else's car, don't you return melons to others?"
Leng Yuhu smiled and said while moving the melons: "Now a kilogram of diesel costs less than two yuan, so I will leave a few sacks of melons in his car. Anyway, I have to pull it several times, and I will leave it to you in this car. If you can't finish it, it will be fine to share it with others! I think this melon is good, much better than those melon dealers sell it!"
Lin Tao could not agree? The two argued for a while, and Leng Yuhu finally unloaded the half-carat before driving away.
Lin Tao looked at the half cart of melons piled in the yard and only smiled bitterly. This melon is so hot that it’s okay to eat it occasionally, but if you have too much, it’s a burden.
Just as he was thinking, someone outside the iron gate shouted: "Is Xiaotao here?"
"Here!" Lin Tao responded quickly when he heard that it was his cousin Du Bing's voice, and went over and opened the door and said, "Brother-in-law, you are here, bring some melons back... Where did you catch fish?"
Du Bing was wearing mud ideas, wearing leather pants on his feet, and carrying a large bucket of water, which was full of large crucian carp of more than half a pound. Lin Tao even saw two wide big crucian carp inside, and his eyes lit up: This is a good thing!
There are two reservoirs near the village, one big and one small, so there are no fish in the village, and there are no nearby ones. People in the village always catch fish by themselves. Although they are in Xijiang, most of the adults in this village are known as fishermen, and any family can bring out ten or eight sticky nets.
The small reservoir upstream of the village is a long time ago. It is commonly known as Xiaohaizi in the local area. The water inside has never dried. According to the old man, there is a spring in the middle. Whenever it is time to water the ground, some children will look for fish along the canal, and they usually return with a full load. One or two months after the crucian carp is placed, the fish in the canal are piled up. Lin Tao was criticized by his classmates. In a certain year in high school, Lin Tao became interested and caught half a tank of crucian carp while the reservoir was watering. The smallest one was about five or six centimeters. Several classmates came to visit him. When they saw the fish, they said that he was too cruel and caught such a small fish. Lin Tao was criticized and argued that he was not unreasonable or not, so he simply brought several classmates to the canal. When the students saw that the fish were all piles of large and small fish in the canal, they admitted their mistakes and said that Lin Tao had saved their lives after he saw that the fish was recovered.
"The reservoir has released water in advance!" Du Bing said while lifting the bucket in, "This time the amount of water released is a bit large. There is no need to water the ground now, so we put the water in the big ditch on the east side. We are working at the edge of the east ditch. When we see that there are many fish inside, we simply took out the equipment to catch the fish. If you want to catch it, go and have a look. dozens of people are fishing there at this moment. We have already caught almost seven or eight bags! This bucket will be kept for your house... so many melons? Okay, when I come back, I will come here to bring a few back in the evening!"
After a hurry, Lin Tao didn't care. He looked at the cheerful fish swimming in the bucket and became interested.
