Today we are going to use a hand-cast net, and Shi Lin doesn’t mind everyone watching.
After tidying up the fishing net and finding a good angle, he walked lightly to the river.
With a beautiful throw,
Splash!
The hand-cast net unfolded into a large round cover in the air and directly covered the water.
“Beautiful! This net is a perfect score!”
Seeing Shi Lin throw such a beautiful net, a young man said excitedly.
“It’s a good throw, but what’s the use? On the shore or by the fishing boat, it’s lucky to catch a few small whitebait with this net.”
“Yeah, this guy is not coming to the shore to wash the net, right?”
“The fishing net is clean, right? Maybe he just threw it for fun. I heard that Shilin has a cat recently, so he might catch some small fish for the cat.”
“Now there are no small fish on the shore, and this net is likely to catch nothing.”
“Look, Li Jianbing is sitting on the boat and smoking, obviously ready to make fun of Shilin.”
“……”
Everyone talked about it.
Basically, no one was optimistic about Shilin’s net.
Li Qinghu, Shi Lin’s neighbor, was also joining in the fun.
He said, “I don’t think Brother Lin is just playing around. He should be able to catch something good with this net! I have confidence in him.”
Hearing this, a young man next to Hu Zi sneered and said, “Hu Zi, how about we make a bet.
If Shi Lin’s net can catch ten kilograms of fish, I will help you turn over your land.
If it doesn’t catch ten kilograms, you turn over my land instead, how about that?”
Bet!
The loser will turn over the other party’s land.
The young man’s words immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
A middle-aged man next to him laughed and said:
“Lai Tou, your land is one mu and three fen, right? Hu Zi’s land is two mu. Don’t you feel that you are at a disadvantage by making such a bet?”
“Hehe, I am not afraid of being at a disadvantage.” The young man named Lai Tou smiled and looked at Hu Zi and said,
“Hu Zi, don’t you have confidence in your brother Lin Zi? Do you want to bet?”
Hearing this, Hu Zi hesitated.
After thinking for a while, he said, “It’s not that I don’t have confidence in Brother Lin Zi, but everyone knows what you do, Lai Tou. You plow the land like a dog paddles. It’s useless for you to plow it for me.”
“Hahahahaha, that’s true!”
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Lai Tou is also a famous lazy guy in the village. He is really bad at his job.
Every year, he grows the worst crops in the field.
Others turned the soil several dozen centimeters down, but he simply hoeed the surface twice. He really did the work for free, but was still despised.
Hearing Hu Zi’s words and everyone’s laughter, Lai Tou was not annoyed. He smiled and took out a dollar from his pocket.
“Then, I’ll bet you this dollar.
It’s still the same condition as before. As long as Shi Lin can catch ten kilograms of fish online, this dollar is yours;
If you can’t catch fish online, you turn my land upside down. What do you think? Can we bet now?”
One dollar!
If Lai Tou spent this dollar and asked someone to turn his land upside down, someone would really do it.
Although one dollar these days is not as much as a day’s salary for urban workers, most people can’t earn one dollar a day doing farm work in the countryside.
After hearing what Lai Tou said, no one thought he was taking advantage of Hu Zi anymore.
“Are you sure you want to bet? Don’t deny it if you lose later?!” Hu Zi confirmed again.
He really has confidence in Shi Lin.
His house is just behind Shi Lin’s house, and recently Hu Zi has seen Shi Lin return home with a full load almost every day.
He has a kind of mysterious confidence in Shi Lin, and feels that his net will definitely succeed.
If Lai Tou really wants to gamble, then he is ready to make this bet with Lai Tou!
“Bet! Everyone in the village knows that I, Lai Tou, am a little lazy, but I have always been a good gambler and never default on my debts! Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not?”
Lai Tou patted his chest and said proudly.
“Okay, then let’s bet! If you win, I will turn the soil for your family, and if you lose, the one dollar is mine!”
“Everyone help to be a witness.”
Hu Zi said loudly.
Everyone around smiled and nodded, indicating that they would help watch.
At this time, Li Jianbing, who was sitting on the fishing boat smoking, suddenly spoke to Hu Zi:
“Hu Zi, you are so confident, how about I bet with you? Bet two dollars?
Just like what Lai Tou said, if Lin Zi has ten kilograms of fish in this net, I will give you two dollars, if not, you give me two dollars.”
Ah…
This made Hu Zi silent.
He wanted to bet with Li Jianbing, but he didn’t have two dollars!
His pockets are cleaner than his face!
“What do you think? Do you want to bet?” LiSeeing that Hu Zi didn’t say anything, Jian Bing continued to ask.
Hu Zi turned out his pockets awkwardly, “No money…”
Seeing that his pockets were empty, everyone didn’t laugh at him. How many rural people have money in their pockets these days?
Those who have married may not be rich, let alone Hu Zi who hasn’t married yet.
After throwing the net out, Shi Lin, who had not taken the next step, suddenly spoke up.
He smiled and said to Li Jian Bing:
“Uncle Jian Bing, how about I bet with you? Just the conditions you just mentioned, ten kilograms is the limit, I will bet with you as much as you want.”
Hearing this, Li Jian Bing frowned and asked, “So confident?!”
“A little.” Shi Lin nodded.
“…” Li Jian Bing was silent.
When he asked to bet with Hu Zi just now, he simply didn’t take Hu Zi seriously.
He thought Hu Zi was an amateur who didn’t know anything and only knew to be superstitious about Shi Lin. There was no possibility of losing if he bet with Hu Zi.
Now that Shi Lin personally asked, Li Jianbing was a little discouraged.
Is this kid really sure?
But the location he chose is on the shore and next to the fishing boat. Li Jianbing didn’t think there would be fish here…
After a moment of silence, Li Jianbing rolled his eyes and said:
“Since you are so confident, let’s bet 50 kilograms. If your net can catch 50 kilograms of fish, I will lose you 50 yuan. If you can’t catch 50 kilograms of fish, you will lose me 50 yuan. How about that?”
“…”
When these words came out, everyone watching the excitement on the shore looked at Li Jianbing with contempt.
This Li Jianbing is too shameless.
Just now, Lai Tou and Hu Zi bet on a limit of 10 jins. Although this is also difficult, it is still somewhat possible.
And when Li Jianbing opened his mouth, damn, 50 jins!
I have never seen anyone cast a net by the river and catch 50 jins!
Even if Shi Lin shot a bighead carp with a gun last time, it was only more than 40 jins. He directly bet on 50 jins, which puts himself in a state of winning!
“Uncle Jianbing, if you don’t dare to bet, just say you don’t dare to bet.
What are you talking about 50 jins? Why don’t you say 1,000 jins or 10,000 jins? Then you will win even more.”
Hu Zi mocked with dissatisfaction.
Li Jianbing smiled and said:
“Okay, if you dare to bet 100 jins, then bet 100 yuan, if you dare to bet 1,000 jins, then bet 1,000 yuan… I can do it, hehe.”
Hearing his words, everyone understood that he just didn’t dare to bet with Shi Lin, and deliberately raised the weight to make a joke.
However, what he and everyone else didn’t expect was that Shi Lin actually nodded.
“Okay, how about betting 100 jin?”
“If there are 100 jin of fish in this net, you give me 100, if there are not 100 jin of fish, I’ll give you 100.”
“How about it? Uncle Jianbing, if you agree, I’ll pull up the net.”
Ah, this…
Bet 100 jin, 100 yuan!
Hearing Shi Lin’s words, everyone present was shocked.
Is he really so confident?
Or is he deliberately deceiving Li Jianbing?
Everyone was unsure, and basically thought that 100 jin in one net was unlikely.
Hearing Shi Lin’s words, Li Jianbing’s heart was pounding.
He was deliberately raising the price, preparing to make a joke and not bet with Shi Lin, but he didn’t expect this kid to dare to follow him? !
Fifty jin in one net on the river bank is already a record that has never been seen in their village. He actually dared to bet 100 jin directly?
‘Could this guy have made money and look down on others, and deliberately cheat me? ’
‘If I don’t dare to agree, he will pull up an empty net later and laugh at me for being cowardly? ! ’
‘If I agree, that’s 100 yuan! ’
100 yuan! More than two months’ salary for urban workers!
The more Li Jianbing thought about it, the more excited he felt. As for the fact that Shilin could catch 100 kilograms of fish with one net, he had never thought about it.
Not to mention getting close to the shore, even if you go down to the river to fish, you haven’t seen many people who are so lucky to catch 100 kilograms with one net.
‘This kid clearly wants to cheat me and make me look ridiculous, but in fact he is just giving me money! ’
The more Li Jianbing thought about it, the more determined he became. He felt that the 100 yuan was right in front of him, waiting for him to reach out and take it.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay! Let’s bet! I’ll bet 100 kilograms and 100 yuan!” “Everyone is watching here. Whoever loses later, don’t deny the debt. You can get up from the Internet cafe!”
