There are always differences between family members and fellow villagers. At least family members can listen to your explanation and believe you.

After Shi Zhengang’s explanation, Ye Meihui and Shi Yuying also believed him.

This fish was caught by Shi Lin, and the wild duck without a neck and head next to it was caught by Comrade Lao Shi.

The two were very surprised that Shi Lin could shoot a gun, and asked Shi Lin how he learned it.

Helplessly, Shi Lin lied again, saying that he sneaked to his classmate’s house to learn when he was in school.

Of course, this is not a lie. At that time, he did sneak over to play with it twice, but he only fired two bullets in total twice and didn’t learn anything…

Comrade Lao Shi was scolded for this reason, and he picked up his crutches and wanted to hit him.

I risked my life to make money in the mountains to support your studies, and you sneaked out to play with guns? !

However, Shi Lin can shoot accurately, which is a good thing at this moment. The family was too lazy to study it and started to deal with the things at hand.

Ye Meihui took out the scale and the shoulder pole, and cooperated with Shi Lin to hang up the bighead fish and weigh it.

“Wow, 41 pounds!”

Shi Yuying was in charge of looking at the scale and said in surprise,

“It still weighs 41 pounds even without half of its head. If it was a whole fish, it would probably weigh nearly 50 pounds, right? How to deal with this fish?”

How to deal with this fish is the most important issue to consider now.

Shi Lin thought about it and said:

“The fish head can be made into chopped pepper fish head, and the fish body can be stewed in an iron pot.

Forty-one pounds is probably too much for our family to eat. Call the second uncle and Uncle Leshan to come and eat together, or send them some fish meat.”

It’s a pity that none of his four sisters married in his village, otherwise he could send some to his sister’s family.

However, as soon as he proposed this proposal, Ye Meihui immediately rejected it.

“What to eat? There are chickens and ducks at home, but they are not enough for you?! Sell them! Fish is expensive, and such a big fish will definitely sell for a lot of money!”

Ye Meihui’s opinion is to sell it!

As soon as she proposed this opinion, everyone in the family voted in favor except Shi Lin.

If it were in the past, Comrade Lao Shi would probably agree with Shi Lin’s point of view and keep the prey at home to share with relatives and friends.

But after his son’s marriage proposal was rejected by the Lin family, Lao Shi also felt that he should try to save more money, otherwise the family might really be extinct by Shi Lin.

Since they have decided to sell it, Shi Lin doesn’t want to be the one who doesn’t fit in, so let’s sell it.

But there is still a question, where to sell it?

“No one in our village buys this stuff, where can I sell it?”

At this time in his previous life, Shi Lin had never been involved in hunting, catching fish and selling goods, and he didn’t know much about the local market at this time.

Ye Meihui said: “Send it to Shanghe Village, send it to Liu Baoquan, who used to buy goods from your father, and send it to his house. He buys this stuff.”

“Yes, Liu Baoquan does. You go to Shanghe Village first, and then ask anyone at random. Basically, everyone knows his family. If he doesn’t remember you, just mention my name, and he won’t cheat you.”

Shi Zhengang followed up.

Ah this.

Shi Lin basically understood what his parents said. He had to sell the goods, and the place to sell them was Shanghe Village.

Fortunately, it only took about 20 minutes to walk from their home to Shanghe Village, which was not far.

“Okay, I’m hungry. I’ll eat first and then go.”

He has been busy all day and is already starving. It will take about an hour to deliver the fish to sell.

Even an iron man can’t stand it. Let’s eat first.

What he didn’t expect was that his mother actually said:

“Why are you still eating? I’ll make you a bowl of malted milk. It’s getting dark. Go quickly and come back and eat again.”

Hearing this, Shi Lin almost couldn’t hold it in and said helplessly:

“Mom, there is chicken and chicken soup in our pot. You don’t let me eat chicken and drink chicken soup, but let me drink malted milk. Am I still your son?”

“Ah?”

Seeing her son’s helpless look, Ye Meihui explained,

“I just think malted milk is nutritious. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be willing to give it to him.”

These days, malted milk can be regarded as a luxury.

Chicken and chicken soup can occasionally be seen in rural homes, but malted milk is generally only bought by families with children.

This makes many people mistakenly believe that the nutritional value of malted milk is higher than chicken and chicken soup.

“No matter how good malted milk is, it’s not as delicious as chicken or chicken soup!

And the nutritional value of malted milk is just that, not that good. It’s mainly for supplementationEnergy, and supplement some trace elements,

Or you can simply understand it as sugar water…”

Shi Lin was very helpless to give his family a brief popular science of malted milk, otherwise he was really afraid that his parents would eat malted milk as a staple food.

It would be better to eat properly for the body.

Ah?!

Shi Zhengang, Ye Meihui, and Shi Yuying were all confused and puzzled after hearing what he said.

Drink malted milk as sugar water?

Then they might as well drink honey water, at least honey water Mi’s family has plenty now, and it doesn’t cost money.

After talking about malted milk, Shi Lin ignored their surprise and went into the kitchen, served himself a big bowl of rice, and started to show off to a pot of chicken soup.

After eating, he still had to go sell fish, so there was really no need to wait for the whole family to eat together.

In addition, their family didn’t have any rules to wait for everyone to eat together.

In the yard, Shi Zhengang thought for a while and said to Ye Meihui:

“Go to Lao Er’s house and borrow a bicycle from him, and let Xiaoliu ride it later.”

Riding a bicycle is much faster than walking, and it saves effort.

Ye Meihui nodded, “Okay, I’ll go borrow it now. ”

Speaking of which, Shilin’s family originally had a bicycle, but the year before, Shilin rode the bicycle to the county town to watch a movie, and then the bicycle was gone.

Shilin himself knew clearly that the bicycle was stolen, but some people in the village speculated that he, a prodigal son, secretly sold the family’s bicycle.

This also caused Shilin’s reputation in the village to become worse. Many people were unwilling to lend him a bicycle. If they wanted to use a bicycle, they had to borrow it from other people in the family…

……

“Ride the bicycle. Here is a flashlight. Take it and don’t lose it.”

“Go to Shanghe Village first and sell the fish to Liu Baoquan, then go to Xiahe Village and give the malted milk, honey and this duck to your fourth sister. ”

Originally, they were only planning to let Shi Lin sell fish.

But now, since they had borrowed a bicycle, Shi Zhengang and Ye Meihui simply asked him to walk a few more steps and go to his fourth sister’s house.

His fourth sister had just given birth to her second child, and now the adults and children are in need of nutrition.

The old couple at home were reluctant to drink the malted milk, so they simply asked Shi Lin to deliver it to his fourth sister.

“Okay. ”

Shi Lin nodded.

He put a bag on the back seat of the bicycle, tied the fish on the back seat, took the things for the fourth sister, and rode the bicycle to Shanghe Village.

With the bicycle, Shi Lin only took ten minutes to reach the place that would have taken twenty minutes to walk.

When he arrived at Shanghe Village, he didn’t need to ask for directions.

He rode directly to the brand new big tile house at the entrance of Shanghe Village.

He thought for a while on the way and finally remembered who this Liu Baoquan was.

Speaking of which, this is also a character. In the previous life, after learning hunting from Shi Lin, he also did business with him.

Liu Baoquan, everyone called him Brother Quan.

In the past, like Lao Shi, he was a hunter who made a living by hunting.

Later, when the market was liberalized, he started his own business, collecting mountain products from other hunters and selling them in the market to make a profit.

Catching up with the dividends of the times, his business grew bigger and bigger, and in the late 1980s he became a famous local tycoon in their area.

However, a few years later, the Wildlife Protection Law was promulgated, and Liu Baoquan became addicted to making money and didn’t know how to stop. In the end, he was arrested for reselling protected animals, and the money was recovered.

At the beginning, this incident was quite a sensation in their area, and it also made many hunters who still had a fluke mentality at that time give up.

Arriving at the gate of Liu Baoquan’s yard, Shi Lin stopped his bicycle and shouted loudly:

“Is Brother Quan at home?”

“Yes, yes. Brother, come in directly.”

A man’s voice came from the house.

Then, Shi Lin saw a short, fat, and slightly Mediterranean middle-aged man, wiping his mouth and walking out of the house.
