The next day, the four of them went out again, and after a desperate struggle, they finally completed the set work.

After lunch, Niu Xiaoqiang, who had just learned to ride, came to the town with the 28 bars at home. Gao Desheng happened to be in the store, and the two agreed on the delivery date, and Niu Xiaoqiang pedaled his bicycle home.

On the morning of the third day, the four of them came to the bottom of the willow tree at the entrance of the village. Niu Xiaoqiang muttered to the other three in a low voice: "Everyone, I don't think we all need to go to school, just leave the matter of getting the report card to one person, and the rest of us can find time to sell fish." ”

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and they don't seem to want to take on the job of getting transcripts for everyone. It's also easy to understand: who wouldn't want to witness a bumper harvest when they see it coming?

Niu Xiaoqiang had already guessed that the three of them would be reluctant, so he simply took the initiative to order the generals: "Xiaohua, you should go to school to get the report card, let's go to the town with a bucket on your back later, you are a girl, you don't have enough strength." ”

Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong immediately agreed, and both said that Niu Xiaoqiang was reasonable.

Niu Huahua thought about it, so she had to nod: "Okay, I'll help you get the report card, and then go to the town to meet everyone, don't leave after you sell the fish, you must wait for me at the door of the fish shop." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "Don't worry, we will definitely wait for you, and we will eat popsicles together at that time." ”

Niu Huahua smiled at this time: "Okay, I will definitely rush to the town as soon as possible after I get the report card, and I will definitely not delay time." ”

After the discussion, the four of them acted separately, Niu Huahua ran towards the school with a schoolbag on his back, and Niu Xiaoqiang and the three rushed to Hope Farm.

Yesterday, Niu Xiaoqiang had already instructed everyone to dig a deeper ditch and release some of the water in the wild pond. In addition, a deep pit was dug in a corner of the pond and some water was filled into it, ready to be used to store the fish fry.

Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong were responsible for going into the water to catch the fish, and Niu Xiaoqiang was responsible for lifting the fish ashore and estimating the weight of the fish.

There are a lot of big fish in the wild pond, and the two of them didn't have much effort, and they caught more than a dozen big guys of more than ten catties, except for two fathead fish, all of these fish are grass carp.

Niu Xiaoqiang estimated that the number was almost enough, and immediately shouted at the two of them to go ashore. In order to facilitate transportation, he specially asked everyone to bring the big basket at home, after Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong went ashore, Niu Xiaoqiang helped them put the bucket containing fish into the basket, so that they could carry it on their backs, which was much easier than walking with a bucket.

There are three baskets in total, this time Niu Xiaoqiang was not lazy, and the three of them set off together with the baskets.

In order to ensure that the fish can be sold to Gao Desheng alive, Niu Xiaoqiang specially added water to the bucket, so the bucket is very heavy, and everyone needs to carry about eighty catties of weight.

At the beginning, the three of them didn't feel tired, but as they walked, they gradually couldn't bear it, and from time to time Niu Xiaoqiang would beckon everyone to stop and rest. It was a total of about seven miles, and it took the three of them a full two hours to complete.

After arriving at the door of the fish shop, Niu Xiaodong, who was the thinnest, sat on the steps and called out repeatedly: "Ouch, my shoulder hurts so much, shouldn't I be strangled...... Hiss ......"

Niu Xiaoyong was slightly stronger than him, he didn't sit down, but stood in place to wipe his sweat: "Don't scream, this is just the first time to sell fish, and you will have to do it for the next few days." ”

Niu Xiaodong immediately showed a frightened expression, and Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and comforted: "It's not so scary, tomorrow we can use the cow to carry the fish over, and we don't need to carry it on our backs." ”

Niu Xiaodong was relieved when he heard this, and he couldn't help urging: "Brother Qiang, shouldn't we deliver the goods early?"

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "You guys take care of the fish here, I'll go find Boss Gao." ”

It's the peak season for fish sales, the fish shop is full of customers, and Gao Desheng is very busy. Since he had already discussed the delivery date with Niu Xiaoqiang yesterday, he didn't take too much goods from the fishmonger today, and seeing that the fish in the pool were almost sold out, Gao Desheng couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Uncle Gao, I shipped the goods. ”

Gao Desheng turned his head to look, and then showed a look of surprise: "Left and right, I finally looked forward to you, if you come late, I will sell out, let's go and see the goods." ”

As he spoke, he handed his wallet to his lover and walked out carrying a large basket and a scale.

Gao Desheng first looked at the fish that the three people carried over, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw it: "What a big fish, young man, your family really knows how to raise fish." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was worried about meeting acquaintances in the village, so he hurriedly instructed Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong to bring the bucket containing fish to the corner of the wall, and then he spoke: "Uncle Gao, according to the price list you provided before, the bigger the fish, the higher the price, right?"

Gao Desheng nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I won't deceive you, I said before, the price of the transaction will be according to the price list, let's weigh it quickly, I'm worried that if we delay for a while, the fish in my store will be sold out, it's strange to say, I don't know what's going on today, the business is actually a lot better than before." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and agreed, helped Gao Desheng pour the fish into the big plastic frame, and then instructed Niu Xiaoyong and Niu Xiaodong to help carry the weighing rod, while he stood next to Gao Desheng and checked the number that was weighed.

"This is the kilogram scale, if you look closely, the number weighed is twenty-eight kilograms, that is, fifty-six catties, right?"

"Yes, that's right. ”

Gao Desheng nodded when he heard this, poured the box of fish into the pool of the fish shop, and then continued to weigh the next round.

After all the fish were weighed, Gao Desheng weighed the basket containing the fish in front of Niu Xiaoqiang, and then began to calculate the accounts: "The weight of several weighings is a total of eighty-nine kilograms, that is, one hundred and seventy-eight kilograms, and the weight of this fish frame is three kilograms, we weighed it four times in total, and we need to subtract twelve kilograms, so the total weight of the fish is one hundred and sixty-six kilograms, isn't this number?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was much faster than him, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Uncle Gao, the weight of the grass carp is one hundred and forty-six catties, and the two fathead fish are just twenty catties, right?"

Gao Desheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, you learned arithmetic really well, let's calculate the total price according to the negotiated price." ”

Gao Desheng said this, took the pen and lay on the table to do arithmetic problems, and after the calculation, he handed the notebook to Niu Xiaoqiang: "According to my calculations, the total price is a total of forty-six yuan and eight cents, can you look at the accounts?"
