Chapter 11 One part is also love, the other part is love

Sunday is definitely a wonderful time for most students.

On this day, many people choose to sleep in.

But this does not include Chen Li.

Since entering junior high school, Chen Li's biological clock time has been changed to 5:40 in the morning.

Of course, logically speaking, there is no need to get up so early for the presentation on Sunday.

But since his system used to issue him a running task every weekend, Chen Li was helpless.

After many missions, Chen Li also developed the habit of running every day. Even on weekends, he would circle the Erlong Grain Station twice.

After finishing his run, Chen Li started to make breakfast, red sweet potato porridge.

Red potato is also called sweet potato, sweet potato or sweet potato. It has different names in different regions.

While waiting for the red potato porridge to be ready, Chen Li started to memorize English words.

Chen Li's reputation did not fall out of thin air. Good grades are the most important component of his good reputation.

If you want to achieve good results, you must work hard.

At the beginning, because Chen Li often received tasks related to learning, Chen Li thought he was getting a learning assistance system.

However, with other people’s learning systems, when knowledge is gained, it is just like an initiation.

With a click, three hundred Tang poems appeared in my mind.

With a click, five thousand years of history were memorized.

With a click of "shua", I learned all the advanced mathematics Olympiad and calculus.

That guy. That’s what’s called a system!

But when Chen Li came here, his system would only issue morning reading tasks, requiring Chen Li to read aloud how many articles and recite how many words during morning self-study time.

Hey! So Chen Li often suspected that his own system must be some kind of defective product, otherwise the AI ​​of his own system would be completely unworthy of the high performance of the system.

But after all, the system has definitely been of great help to Chen Li.

At the very least, Chen Li changed from the standard used by other families to educate their children to the standard used by other people's families under the system's regulations.

The former educates his children like this: "Don't follow Chen Li, or the child will be ruined if he continues like this!"

The latter taught his children like this: "Don't follow Chen Neo-Confucianism, you can't learn it. As long as you can do half of what he does, I will be a big fan!"

Both are the standards used by other families to educate their children, but their meanings are different.

After memorizing fifty English words, Chen Li began to read and recite short sentences covering these words to deepen his "familiarity" with these words.

This habit was a task once issued by the system, but Chen Li maintained it very well.

After this set is completed, the Chen family's weekend breakfast is also ready.

Red potato porridge cooked in rice oil, with boiled eggs and Sichuan-style pickles as side dishes.

Chen Li came to Chen Xue's room and woke her up according to the agreement made when catching eels last night. This girl said last night that she would go to the street with Chen Li to sell eels today.

"Xiaoxue, it's time to get up and eat."

"Well, I don't want to get up. I haven't woken up yet."

The sound in the room was very low, and it could be heard that Chen Xue was still half asleep.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the street with me to sell eels? Get up and eat, we're going to sell eels."

"Well, I won't go, I want to sleep."

The sound is still so low, you can't even hear it from behind.

Chen Li smiled. He had already guessed that this would be the case, so he was not surprised at all.

"Let your sister sleep more!"

When passing by his parents' bedroom, Chen Li happened to see his father coming out.

Regarding his father's concern for Chen Xue, Chen Li could only curse in his heart. He was partial.

The father loves his daughter, and the mother loves both. After all, Chen Li's son still lacks a little bit of preference.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Back in the kitchen, Chen Li saw his mother washing up and looking at the eels he caught last night.

"We caught a lot last night!"

Wang Dongmei looked at the eels in the footbath and expressed her opinion.

Chen Li was helpless. He knew that although a buyer had not yet been found for this batch of eels, the profit distribution after the sale should have been decided.

"You will sell the eel later, go to your Uncle Zhao to buy a few kilograms of pork ribs, and then buy two sections of lotus root."

Sure enough, after my mother finished washing, the eels in the Chen family's foot basin had been converted into spareribs and lotus roots.

Because of Chen Li's various "precocious" behaviors in recent years, he is no longer an ordinary student who doesn't understand anything in the eyes of his parents, so Wang Dongmei is relieved to leave the task of buying groceries to Chen Li.

"Oh! Got it."

Chen Li was speechless, but had no choice but to eat with his bowl in hand.

After dinner, Chen Li packed up last night's eels and put them into the fish basket. He found a few plastic bags at home and took a scale, and then left the grain station.

As soon as he left the grain station, Chen Li saw the second eldest son of the Wang family and the third eldest son of the Zhang family. These two were the friends who caught eels with Chen Li last night.

Chen Li's generation happened to be the last generation before the family planning was officially implemented, so people of Chen Li's age rarely had only children.

Chen Li's sister happened to be born before the family planning was officially implemented, so she was not fined.

Wang Lao Er and Zhang Lao San were also carrying fish baskets of the same style as Chen Li's, which contained the eels caught last night.

As soon as the three of them met, they didn't chat much, but went straight to Tao Ranju in Erlong Town.

"Uncle Li, some of the eels we just caught last night are particularly big. You choose them first. After you finish choosing, I will sell the others!"

The reason why I came to Taoranju first was of course because the prices offered by Taoranju were high.

Of course, the high price also means different requirements for quality. Taoranju only accepts eels weighing more than half a catty.

Li Dayong of Taoranju is the only chef with a chef certificate in Erlong Town. At the same time, his Taoranju is also the only small restaurant in the town that is reasonably high-end.

The Erlong Town Government's reception and meals had always been hosted at Taoranju. It was not until the state strictly inspected public funds for food and drink that Taoranju gradually lost business.

In the past, when the grain station was popular, I would often go to Taoranju for dinner parties. However, in the past two years, the efficiency of the grain station has become worse and worse, and I basically stopped coming to Taoranju.

Chen Li, on the other hand, often came to deal with Boss Li after the eel market opened in Erlong Town.

Because Chen Li is sweet-tongued and smart, and he is not as fussy as other hawkers, Boss Li has a very good impression of Chen Li and basically accepts all the ingredients Chen Li provides every time.

"Xiao Li! Oh, we caught a lot of people today!"

"Okay, leave all these big ones for me, these ones are just fine."

Boss Li, who had a beer belly, picked through the eels poured out by Chen, Li and the others, picking away all the large eels weighing more than half a catty.

There are six on Chen Li's side, three on Wang Laoer's side, and five on Zhang Laosan's side.

Chen Li took the scale and weighed each one. The total weight of the fourteen eels was a little over nine kilograms. Chen Li directly wiped out the zero and reported the number skillfully.

"Let's just say nine pounds, sixty-nine fifty-four, thank you Uncle Li."

"Here, there's no need to look for it. Your Uncle Li won't take advantage of you."

Boss Li directly took out two bills, one fifty and one five yuan. It seemed very generous, but in fact it was only one yuan more.

Of course, one part is also love, and the other part is love. Chen Li had a smile on his face and gave Boss Li a thumbs up on his hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Li. Uncle Li is very generous. No wonder Uncle Li can make a fortune by opening a restaurant. Just because of your cheerfulness, Uncle Li, this Erlong Town deserves to be made rich by you, Uncle Li."

"Yo yo yo~! You brat has a sweet mouth. I'll praise you Uncle Li more next time."

"Okay! Then next time I'll give you seven yuan per pound for Uncle Li. With the extra dollar, I can praise you for an hour, Uncle Li."

"Hey brat, hurry up and sell your eels."

"Okay, Uncle Li, let me lend you this basin in the shop for a while!"

Boss Li waved his hand, indicating to Chen Li that he could use it as he pleased. He had to quickly put those large eels into the tank. The eels would be sold out at noon, but before selling, he had to ensure that all the eels were alive.

Chen Li skillfully weighed the eels left by the three of them, and after finally getting a total number, he put the eels together.

The price of these eels will be lower than the price sold to Tao Ranju, but the advantage is the quantity.

The reason for weighing it in advance is to determine the proportions of each of the three people, and finally the actual amount will be paid according to the proportions.

The process of selling eels went quite smoothly, mainly because Chen Li did it not once or twice, so he still has some old customers.

After selling the eels and dividing the money, Chen Li's income was the highest, reaching 36 yuan. It should have been 36 yuan and 30 cents, but Chen Li didn't like these cents at all.

This amount of money could be considered a huge sum for a student party in 1997.

It's just about catching eels. Sometimes it depends on luck. In addition, there are so many people catching eels now, so Chen Li may not always be able to harvest as much as he did last night.

After paying the money with Wang Lao Er and Zhang Lao San and agreeing to continue next week, Chen Li walked towards the old street of Erlong Town.

He also wanted to buy spareribs. He went late, so he probably wouldn't be able to buy them.

However, today was a market day in Erlong Town, and there were quite a lot of people on the street at this moment. Chen Li dodged left and right in the crowd, and finally bumped into someone.

"Ouch, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Chen Li apologized directly. After all, the other party was a girl, and Chen Li had to be a good and polite boy.

"fine."

The girl didn't pay attention. There were too many people on the street, and occasional collisions were inevitable.

The two separated, and the girl headed east. Chen Li stopped where he was and looked at the girl's back.

"Is it her?"

"Seems to be!"
