In the morning, Li Youran had just gotten up and was washing up in the bathroom when suddenly the phone rang.
When he looked at the number, it turned out to be Uncle Qi. He quickly pressed the answer button.
"Of course, Mr. Fang is here for breakfast." Uncle Qi said.
As soon as he saw Mr. Fang coming, he immediately informed Boss Li. This was what Li Youran had asked him in the past two days.
"I understand, I'll come down right away." Li Youran said.
He put down his cell phone and quickly took the time to wash up. After packing up, he walked downstairs and came to the stairs. As expected, he saw Mr. Fang wearing a blue-gray summer short-sleeved Tang suit sitting on a seat near the corridor.
Enjoying steamed buns and soy milk, he seemed to be in good spirits. Naturally, his nanny Xiao Zhang was with him.
Uncle Qi came over and told Li Youran in a low voice that Mr. Fang made another request to buy fish today and asked him to prepare it and take it away after breakfast.
Li Youran thought for a while and asked Uncle Qi to go to the backyard to open the light cover door of the fish pond and get everything ready. Uncle Qi nodded and walked away.
Li Youran watched for a while and saw that Mr. Fang was almost finished eating, so he walked over to say hello.
"Good morning, Mr. Fang," Li Youran said.
"Hey, it turns out it's Boss Xiao Li. It's rare these days." Mr. Fang looked up and saw that it was Boss Xiao Li, and said with a smile.
"I'm quite busy these days. Master, I heard that you want to buy fish today?" Li Youran responded with a smile.
"Yeah, what, is it out of stock?" Mr. Fang asked a little nervously. Now that he has eaten the fish from the bun shop, he really doesn't like other products.
Last week, my son who works out of town came home to visit relatives. I heard that he likes to eat fish, so I went to the supermarket and bought some top-quality rainbow trout and came back to honor him. I said the fish was delicious and delicious.
In the end, my wife cooked a meal of braised rainbow trout. After eating it, the taste was far worse than the ordinary carp and grass carp in the bun shop. However, this was his son's filial piety, so Mr. Fang had to praise the fish a few times against his will.
, finished with a few hasty bites.
Now when he heard Boss Li talking like this, he thought there was something wrong with the supply of goods, because Xiao Qi usually went directly to catch the fish and brought it over, and Boss Li never asked. Naturally, he felt a little uneasy for a while.
"What's the matter? The goods are naturally available, but we have some new varieties in our store. I don't know if they are good or not. You are an expert. Why don't you help me take a look and check them." Li Youran said, secretly amused in his heart.
This old man usually behaves calmly and calmly about everything, but once it comes to matters of taste, he becomes so concerned.
Mr. Fang had not been to the fish pond in the backyard of Baozipu for a long time. Hearing what he said, his interest increased greatly. The carp and grass carp purchased by Baozipu are so delicious, but what if it is a higher-end fish?
"Oh, new variety, good. Take a look." Mr. Fang said, standing up.
So, Li Youran led the way, and Mr. Fang and Xiao Zhang followed behind. Together they headed to the backyard fish pond.
Uncle Qi has already opened the door of the lighting cover and is sorting things inside.
The three of them walked into the lighting dome and followed the steps to the edge of the pool.
Mr. Fang bent down and carefully looked at the various fish in the pond. Xiao Zhang quickly held his arm and bent down.
They were standing on the east side of the pool. An isolation stainless steel net was set up here. Because the water was clear, it was easy to see the fish moving at the bottom of the pool. These fish were very unusual, with thin scales, long round bodies, and alternate yellow and black stripes.
, and if you look closely, you will see that the fish has a very big mouth, with sharp teeth showing from time to time.
"Hey, isn't this a fire head? What a good fish." Mr. Fang was well-informed and recognized the fish species at a glance.
"That's right, we got the snakehead fish in some time ago." Li Youran said, using a slender branch that he just picked up outside to reach into the pond and touch one of the snakehead fish that was swimming slowly.
"Crack." The black fish burst out suddenly, biting off the branch with one mouthful. His fiery temper was evident.
"What a powerful guy, this is a wild fire head. Boss Li, you really can do this." Mr. Fang's eyes lit up and he praised loudly.
"Haha, our buyer went to the countryside to collect fish, and we happened to meet him by chance." Li Youran said with a smile, and took the branch out of the pond.
At this time, Uncle Qi sprinkled a handful of feed into the fish pond, and all kinds of fish under the water suddenly became excited and came to the surface to grab food.
Mr. Fang continued to walk forward and was amazed for a while.
"This is a seabass, yes, it's pretty solid. Oh, there are also mandarin fish, they are all good species."
After he walked along the edge of the pond, he stopped. He thought to himself that today's visit was not in vain. Such wild delicacies were really rare to see.
Li Youran took his special trumpet copy from the side and held it in his hand.
"Old man, why don't you try some new fish and see how they taste?" he suggested.
When Mr. Fang heard that these newly imported fish could be sold, he was very happy and quickly agreed. He and Boss Li had known each other for such a long time and were considered acquaintances, so there was no reason to be polite to him.
So under his guidance, Li Youran frequently took action and caught a black fish, a mandarin fish and a striped perch. The black fish and mandarin fish were about one and a half kilograms each, and the striped perch was larger, over two kilograms. His swiftness
The action drew applause from Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang's face was filled with excitement. Whether it was black fish or mandarin fish, it was wild, but he hadn't tasted it for a long time. Today was a real treat.
Uncle Qi divided the fish into two black plastic bags, put them in two black plastic bags, weighed them on a scale, and reported the number.
"The total is five pounds and twenty taels, two hundred and sixty yuan."
Xiao Zhang helped Mr. Fang walk down the edge of the pool, then took out his small handbag and prepared to pay the bill.
Mr. Fang thought about it and realized something was wrong.
"Xiao Qi, you should calculate it at fifty yuan per catty. Do your snakehead, mandarin fish and grass carp have the same price here?" he questioned.
"Haha, this is a newly arrived fish. There is no specific price yet. I want you to have a taste and we will talk about it later." Li Youran quickly explained.
"That's not okay. I, the old man, can't take advantage of you for such a high-end wild fish. Let's do it this way. I'll make the decision. I'll double it first. Xiao Zhang, you pay five hundred and twenty yuan." Mr. Fang shook his head.
I don't agree with his statement.
Li Youran had no choice but to signal Uncle Qi to collect the money according to the price mentioned by Mr. Fang.
After paying, Xiao Zhang took the bag containing the fish, held it in his hand, and accompanied Mr. Fang out of the lighting dome.
After the fish purchase came to an end, Mr. Fang was ready to leave.
"Old man, wait a moment. I have something else to do." Li Youran said as he took out a small paper bucket from behind and opened the lid.
Mr. Fang stopped when he heard this and looked at Boss Li doubtfully.
"Our fellow villagers gave me some specialty tea. They said it was a new variety. I don't know much about it. Can you help me see how this tea tastes?"
Li Youran handed over the paper tube.
Mr. Fang usually drinks tea and has done a lot of research on this. Of course, the main purpose is to maintain health.
He heard that there was a new type of items, and he thought to himself that Boss Li had quite a lot of new types of items here.
The paper tube weighs about two taels. If you look closely, you will see that the tea leaves inside are flat and smooth in shape, with sharp tips and bright green color. The buds are longer than the leaves, so it is a bud with two leaves.
It doesn't seem to be of high quality, but it looks pretty good. When you get closer and smell it, a clear and fresh aroma comes to your nose, which lasts for a long time.
"Good tea, the aroma of this dry tea is so strong, it must be even better after brewing. Well, it can be said to be a special grade green tea. By the way, it looks a bit like a special grade Longjing, but the smell is not the same, it seems to be purer
Much more, and it still has a mountain and wild atmosphere." Mr. Fang concluded with satisfaction.
"Old man, you are really an expert. You can take this bag of tea back and try it. By the way, this is the mountain spring water we usually use to grind soy milk in our store. It will taste better when used to make tea." Li Youran said, taking the tea from Uncle Qi's hand.
He received a small plastic square bucket, which was filled with space stream water.
Only then did Mr. Fang feel that something was a little strange. Boss Li was really attentive today.
"Xiao Li, have you encountered something difficult? Are you looking down on my old man by being so roundabout?" His expression darkened.
Seeing that his thoughts were revealed, Li Youran rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Haha, old man, I really can't hide anything from you. I really need your help with something. Please sit here."
He invited Mr. Fang to sit down on the bamboo chair placed on the west side of the fish pond, and then briefly told him about the house loan.
On the other side, Uncle Qi suggested that the nanny Xiao Zhang should go get a car. There were a lot of things today, especially because the water was heavy and difficult to carry.
Xiao Zhang nodded, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
After hearing this, Mr. Fang thought about it and thought that this matter was not too much. It was within the scope allowed by the policy. Moreover, the loan was mortgaged with a house. If something happened, the bank would not suffer any loss.
"Xiao Li, it's gratifying that you can buy a villa at such a young age. But seeing that your store has such good business every day, it makes sense. My old man has also benefited from you a lot during this time.
However, I am a retired person and my abilities are limited. Well, I can only ask someone to ask. It is hard to say whether it will work or not. I will just give you a reply when the time comes." He considered this matter.
Agreed.
Li Youran was very happy and quickly expressed his thanks.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zhang came over and told the old man that the family car was here to pick him up and it was right outside the backyard door.
Mr. Fang stood up and walked out with Xiao Zhang. Li Youran naturally wanted to see each other off. Uncle Qi followed behind with a fish bag and bucket in his hands.
After sending Mr. Fang away, Li Youran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't get a definite answer, he estimated that the matter was settled, and he might even be able to get a discounted interest rate.
