Chapter 15 Poker Bars and Avatars (Part 1)
Early mornings in the countryside are always interrupted by the crow of a big rooster.
A big rooster crows, and the other big roosters start to echo, one after another.
Li Zhongxin rubbed his sleepy eyes, cursed a few damn big cocks dissatisfiedly, and slowly got up in depression.
Li Zhongxin knew clearly that Wang Bo had been gone for a full hour. The time for fishing was tight and the task was heavy. He was the person in charge of fishing, so naturally he got up earlier and went earlier than others.
Wang Bo's professionalism is also supported by money. If Wang Bo hadn't been supported by a salary of five yuan a day, with Wang Bo's previous lazy energy, it would have been good to get up even if he could get up in two hours.
Pushing open the door and entering the yard, the whole yard is filled with a sense of freshness. At this time, every household has begun their busy day.
Rural people all get up early. At this time, every household has finished feeding their chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and those who go to the fields to do farm work, and those who fish, go fishing. In addition to the chickens and ducks wandering around in the village,
There were almost no people in sight.
Li Zhongxin walked around the village boredly, but did not see any breakfast sold in the village, and felt very depressed.
If he is counting on his third uncle to make breakfast for him, then the sun will definitely rise in the west.
Li Zhongxin was growing up now, and he didn't want to work on an empty stomach. Suddenly he remembered that there was a tofu shop in Zhubantun, which made soybean curd and dried tofu. He immediately quickened his pace and started to look towards the tofu in his memory.
Fang walked over.
I ate a full meal of tofu with a pound of food stamps and 50 cents, including tofu mixed with sauce, fried tofu, and a large bowl of soy milk.
The beans are all freshly ground, and the hand-made rural soybean tofu is quite delicious. Li Zhongxin thought that when he comes to Zhubantun in the future, he will finally have breakfast.
Li Zhongxin strolled around Zhuban Village for a long time before slowly walking towards the river.
By the river, Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo were organizing people to load sacks of fish into carriages and prepare to go to Jiangcheng to sell fish.
Li Zhongxin brought over two 70-meter-long fishing nets. The battle line was much longer and there were many more fish than before.
Seeing Li Zhongxin coming, Wang Bo immediately stopped what he was doing, first called over the four people Dong Guozhong had found, and briefly introduced Li Zhongxin.
Wang Bo told these people that Li Zhongxin was his nephew and that Zhongxin Company had his shares. If Li Zhongxin had any arrangements in the future, they must implement them immediately.
After introducing several people introduced by Dong Guozhong, Wang Bo reported the work of the past few days to Li Zhongxin and told Li Zhongxin that he kept strict accounting every day according to Li Zhongxin's instructions, and that every day's accounts and money were kept.
Put it away and wait for Feng Xiaowu to come to him to pick it up.
After nearly a week, Wang Bo completely figured out that it was normal for him to work for his nephew. If he had to do it by himself, he would definitely not be able to do as well as his eldest nephew.
He couldn't get just the kite board and the fishing net to hang the fish.
Now Li Zhongxin has brought two more fishing nets, which means that starting from today, they have expanded the scale of their operations. According to Li Zhongxin, he and Dong Zhiguo are the leading workers, that is, the people who lead the work.
Their daily salary should have increased to seven yuan at this time.
Two 70-meter-long fishing nets were added this week, and three more will be added next week. In other words, their wages will reach ten yuan per person per day next week.
Ten yuan a day is three hundred yuan a month, which is thirty unity sheets.
In all his life, Wang Bo has never seen thirty sheets of paper put together. Wang Bo feels very excited just thinking about it, and his whole body seems to be filled with inexhaustible energy.
When Feng Xiaowu came over last week, a big hole was scratched out of the fifty-meter net, and Feng Xiaowu took it to repair it. If he hadn't done this with his nephew, he would have really made a one-shot deal.
By that time, not only had a bad reputation been left behind, but there would also be no such quick income.
Now he earns a salary of seven yuan a day. After selling fish every day, he and Dong Zhiguo eat at a restaurant in Jiangcheng. For the price of a small scalper a day, the two of them can eat enough at noon and evening every day, and even eat meat.
vegetable.
Ever since we started fishing with my nephew, my eldest nephew also said that he likes to smoke and drink well. After the initial stage of purchasing fishing nets and other things, the eldest nephew will cover everything, and there will be bonuses during the New Year.
However, Wang Bo didn't understand what the early stage was. Those eloquent lyrics made by his nephew made him feel that he had lived like a dog for so many years, and he couldn't figure out what Li Zhongxin was.
What's inside the melon seeds in your head?
Li Zhongxin saw that there was nothing going on without him, and after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what to do. There were people doing things like fishing, so he, a child, stopped participating.
This is not the time in later generations when call signals are available everywhere and everyone has a mobile phone in their hands.
At this time, he basically relies on walking and communicating by shouting. There is really nothing he can do in a place like Zhubantun to the riverside where no one can shit.
Li Zhongxin trusted Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo to sell fish. He felt that there was no use in selling fish. He couldn't go home at this time, at least until Feng Xiaowu came to pick him up in the evening.
He was accustomed to mobile phones, computers, the Internet, WeChat, QQ and other entertainment. Suddenly, Li Zhongxin found that there was nothing around him and felt very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Li Zhongxin remembered that one of his classmates from the health team, Bai Yunpeng, lived in Zhubantun. It might be a good choice to go there, rather than returning to his third uncle Wang Bo's kennel.
In later generations, Li Zhongxin and Bai Yunpeng often fished and drank together and were quite good friends. It was just that he was young when he was in elementary school and had never been to Bai Yunpeng's home in the 1980s. When he thought of this, Li Zhongxin decided to go
Find out the address of Bai Yunpeng's house in Zhubantun and go to his house to have a look.
Not long after Li Zhongxin returned to Zhubantun from the river, he found Bai Yunpeng's home after asking about the two of them.
Bai Yunpeng's home is in the second half of Zhuban Village, also called Hou Zhuban Village, nearly a mile further than his third uncle Wang Bo's home.
Houzhubantun is poorer than former Zhubantun, with adobe houses occupying half of the village. Bai Yunpeng's family lives in a large adobe house.
However, the Bai family's yard is very large, more than ten meters long, but it is empty and there is nothing good in it.
The two sides of the yard are separated from the neighbors by rags and broken wooden strips. There is a pressurized water well in the northwest corner, and there are some dry goods to dry in the wooden windows that have no color.
We didn't miss out when we arrived at Bai's house, just in time Bai Yunpeng was at home and hadn't gone out to play yet, which was a little surprise for Li Zhongxin.
At this time, rural children went to school late, and Bai Yunpeng was one year older than Li Zhongxin.
He was a bit taller than Li Zhongxin and looked a little thinner. However, Li Zhongxin knew that Bai Yunpeng had been helping the adults at home since he was a child. He was very strong and was a vigorous and energetic child.
Seeing Li Zhongxin arrive at his home, Bai Yunpeng rubbed his head and kept giggling. After all, his classmates from the city did not dislike his poor family and came to his home.
After hearing that Li Zhongxin said that he wanted to play with him for a while, he immediately dragged Li Zhongxin to the yard and played poker chips.
Poker strips, as the name suggests, are children's play items made from poker.
The making of poker strips is very simple, just use scissors to cut the old playing cards in half from the middle to become poker strips.
At this time, there are two favorite ways to play poker strips, namely fan and bump.
When fanning poker strips, two or more people draw out poker strips together. Whoever draws the most cards will be the first to wave their arms and slap them with their hands.
Whoever plays the second most cards gets the second fan, and so on.
The way of playing poker is the same as that of fanning playing cards, but what's more! For playing cards, you put these long strips of poker in your hands and flip them back and forth with the palms and backs of your hands.
As long as the poker stick falls from the hand, it will be someone else's turn to flip it, and after a few flips, they will have to catch it in the end, otherwise it will not be considered a win.
The weather in April is cold, so playing poker is quite suitable. If you play hard, your hands will feel cold, and other things are not suitable to play at this time.
There are rules for what time to play and what to play every year. Basically, children follow this pattern.
