After getting off the taxi, I carefully held a plastic water bag in both hands and walked slowly to the front door of the courtyard, stretched out my legs and kicked open the oil-filled wooden door. The door was not locked, and my parents and Bu Yue'e went to work. There were only the Wenzhou couple selling shoes in the yard that were hanging boxes. I nodded and greeted them. After a few words, I turned around and went to my hut, put the red-topped purple robe on the desk, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.

Soon, a small wooden basin, a few small fishing nets and a heating rod were churned out by me.

After washing and filling the wooden basin with water, I squatted under the sun in the yard, tried the water temperature with my fingers, and then put the whole water bag containing the red-topped purple robe in the wooden basin and soaked it. In fact, the water temperature difference between the bag and the basin was not much, but for the sake of insurance, I chose the safest method. After all, it was the famous red-topped purple robe, not a small broken goldfish worth a few dollars.

I adapted to the water temperature, catching fish, putting food, controlling the temperature, and pumping oxygen. I fiddled with it according to the method Aunt Gu taught me. After half an hour, the two red-topped purple robes were already jumping around in the water. After observing for a while, I didn’t see anything wrong with the two goldfish in a strange environment. Then I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out the supply equipment that was removed from my fish tank. I carried the wooden basin back to the house, opened the curtains, and placed it under the sun.

Looking at the hanging table on the wall, it was two tens.

I didn't have time to eat at noon. Now that I was free, my stomach started to whine. I hurried to wash my hands in front of the pool in the middle of the yard. I simply took a bowl of rice from the refrigerator that I didn't know how long it was left. After smelling it, I smelled it, and it wasn't bad. So I went to the kitchen and broke two eggs and copied a bowl of fried rice to fill my stomach.

The phone rings.

I burped and leaned on the bed of the cottage: "Hey?"

"It's me, my good nephew, where is it? It's Bu Yue'e's charming voice: "Are you finished your business?"

I said, "It's over, I've returned to the front door. Why? When will you get home at night?

"Haha, maybe I won't go back to have dinner today. I made an appointment with Wanru and Sister Yuan and the others. Everyone planned to have some snacks with Wangfujing, and then go to New Oriental to check out clothes, shoes, etc. Well, Yanyan seems to be going too. If she wants to come, she will definitely pull Mansha, so I will tell you. By the way, my parents called the website and said that you have to go back later to dinner at your grandma's house tonight." The five of them got together again? I uh, "How long have you known each other? Why are you so good relationship?"

The aunt on the other end of the phone laughed: "Is this called "good old age at first sight, can't you?"

I said, "No, it's not possible, but "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, then don't come back too late tonight, I'll wait for you."

"Well, I'm still a little busy here, I'll hang up the line first

Putting down my phone, I patted my forehead at the window with a lot of laughter and tears, my heart was in a mess. I suppressed my impatient mood and breathed out, and stopped thinking about it for the time being. I focused all my attention on the pair of red-topped purple robes. Although the two goldfish looked nothing big, they still needed to observe for a while to avoid accidents.

It's about six o'clock.

The two red-topped purple robes were still lively and there was no change that caught me off guard.

I nodded with satisfaction, leaned on the computer desk and started flipping through the phone book, preparing to contact the buyer, and sold the red-topped purple robe as soon as possible before going to Shaanxi Province. First, I wanted to explore the market value of this type of high-end goldfish, and second, I was not allowed to leave for many days, and no one took care of them.

I first got a call to my waist. Another uncle called another one until he contacted five or six relatives and friends. No one knew any experts who knew goldfish, let alone those who were willing to spend money to buy fish. As a last resort, I could only trouble Yan Wanru again. She has a wide range of people. It should be no problem.

"Hey, Sister Yan, I, Gu Jing."

"Oh, wait a moment, I can't hear her messy end. Many people were talking, and I could vaguely hear the shouts of old Beijing. It seemed that they were eating on the snack street. A few seconds later, Yan Wanru's low voice rang out on the other end of the phone: "What are you calling me? Your wife was next to me just now. I don't know if she saw it coming to show up. It's true."

I sweated for a moment: "I know you are visiting Wangfujing together, I have some serious business."

Yan Wanru said angrily: "Huh, I'll say it earlier. What's the matter?"

I said, "I bought two good goldfish and wanted to sell them. Do you know people in this field? Please contact me?"

"Goldfish? I really don't understand this very much. You can go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to check it out. Isn't it harvesting fish there?"

"My goldfish species is good, they probably won't be able to buy it there, and I'm afraid I'll lose money when I sell it. I don't know exactly how much this fish is worth."

"Oh, that's it, then wait for the phone call. I know a vice president of the Beijing Goldfish Association. He has a lot of fish at home. Although I don't know whether to look at your goldfish, it's okay to help estimate the price. I'll talk to him. Let Lao Cao call you later and you can contact yourself."

"Okay, thank you so much

After waiting for about five or six minutes, an unknown number popped up on the phone, which should be what Yan Wanru said about Lao Cao.

"Hey, are you Gu Jing?" That was the voice of a middle-aged man.

I said, "Yes, Hello, President Cao, did Sister Yan tell you? That's right, I really can't get the price for two killing fish. I want to ask you to estimate the price and add to your nuisance.

You guys, don't be polite, let's make an appointment?"

“Do you see when you are available?”

"Well, I may have to go to another place to do something tomorrow or tonight, and I'll go there when I have dinner. Where are you living in? I'll go find you."

"No, then why are you so embarrassed? I'll go to your house."

"Haha, it's okay, the goldfish is so cute. You run around and maybe make it sick, tell me the address."

I knew that they were just looking at Yan Wanru's face. After thanking him repeatedly, they gave him the address.

I put down my phone and it was already dark. Since my parents and aunts were not going home for dinner, I put some noodles and made up for two more meals. Then I returned to the cottage, staring at the red-topped purple robe and my dark purple figure made me like it more and more.

At around 7:40, the gate of the courtyard sounded, and the footsteps gradually approached.

I got up and walked over to push the door and saw that it was my parents who were back. When did my mother and mother see me, she was stunned: "When did you go home?"

"In the afternoon." I pointed to the house with a smile: "I bought two fish, can you see?"

"What fish?" My mother frowned unhappily: "I'm spending money again!"

I dismissively opened my body and let my parents come in. "It's not much, two are only 2,500 yuan, haha, this is a red-topped purple robe, not an ordinary goldfish, how about it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"Beautiful, no!" My mother suddenly glared at the moment when she heard it, "Broken fish is made of gold! Two thousand five? Why do you look like a fool? A few days ago, I saw a goldfish sold at the entrance of the vegetable market. The most expensive one is only ten yuan! You can get it for a smaller 50 cents! You are stupid!"

I rolled my eyes speechlessly: "This fish is different from the kind you see."

My mother looked down at the goldfish in the wooden basin and said angrily, "Isn't it just a little purple? What's the difference?" After that, my mother even kicked the basin with her feet. Suddenly, the two purple goldfish were frightened and started to drill in the water. "Hey, it's quite joyful." My mother was happy.

"What are you doing! Don't kick!" I was convinced by her, and hurriedly pulled my mother aside, then squatted in front of the basin and said softly: "Be good" is not afraid of "Not afraid of "It's okay" is nothing." Yes, "Be good" Seeing that the Yu'er's mood gradually stabilized, I turned around and glared at my mother: "Don't mess around, this fish is expensive."

"Jingui's awesome!" My mother gently kicked me in the ass: "I think you're just free!"

"Dad, mom, what's wrong?" In the yard, Zou Yue'e's voice slowly floated into the room, and as her high heels hit the ground, for a moment, Auntie's enchanting figure appeared at the door. Her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were filled with a charming charm, and the smell of alcohol could not stop rushing to her face.

Dad frowned: "How much more drinks?"

Bu Yue'e smiled and put the bag on the bed. "Not a pound."

My mother slammed the mouth: "Your dad only has two or three taels of alcohol. You can get one pound at once? Can you drink less? What's the best wine?"

I hurriedly mentioned her and explained: "Yue'er has social engagements, so she can't help but not drink."

My mother said oh, and her face slowly said, "I'll agree first. If you plan to have a child, Yue'e, you have to quit drinking half a year in advance. Otherwise, it will affect your child's health, and this is not a joke."

Buyue'e nodded: "I know mom."

I remembered something and suddenly said, "By the way, while you are all here, there is something, well, I'm going to go to Xi'an in two days, and maybe when I'll come back. If it's fast, two or three days, five or six days." This is what I have planned long ago. As long as the red-topped purple robe can be sold smoothly, I will set off.

My mother's face was not very good: "It's a long way away. Why don't you go to Shaanxi Province if you don't go to school well?"

I said, "Of course, in order to make money, I am not satisfied with the world. How can I deliver the money to my door? Don't worry, there is no problem with the school. I will be sure to pass the exam and it will not delay anything."

My mother snorted: "You have hard wings now, and I don't bother with you."

Bu Yue'e pursed her lips and drank a sip of tea, held my mother's hand and sat on the bed with her, "What are the fun places in Xi'an?"

I said, "I haven't been there, I don't know what's wrong?"

Bu Yue'e looked at me and put down her cup, "My sister and I are discussing where to travel this weekend, and Wanru and Mansha and the others agree. Well, if Xi'an is good, let's go and have a look together. You are alone and don't know the place, I don't feel at ease.

Dad nodded and said, "You can go together and be more at ease, and you can take care of it on the road."

I waved my hand without thinking, "Don't, let's go our own way. You are traveling, I'm doing business, not going all the way. Besides, I might be out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I won't be waiting for the weekend." Although it was a wonderful thing for five big beauties to accompany me, the invisible sword light and sword shadow were enough to discourage me.

Bu Yue'e shrugged indifferently: "Whatever you want. I will discuss it with them then." My mother looked at me and said: "What are you doing in Xi'an? Is it an antique?"

"No." I pointed to the wooden basin on the ground, "I prepared to collect some goldfish. If it goes well, I will sell it locally. If it doesn't go well, I will take it back to Beijing and talk about it."

My mother glared at her eyes: "Why do you think of tinkering with this broken fish again? How much is this one worth? Aren't you learning antiques from Teacher Yan? Get more Yuan blue and white and other things to take back! It's not as good as broken

powerful

, She said in a vain. I was so depressed that I was all depressed.

Hearing this, Bu Yue'e chuckled and crossed her legs, "Mom, there are not many pieces in the Yuan blue and white world that Xiao Jing can get it last time, it's already a great fortune. How easy? Haha, if he likes to play with fish, let him play with it, maybe it's a way to make money."

My mother glanced at her daughter-in-law: "You are looking at him."

My dad pointed to the wooden basin and said, "This purple fish is really worth 2,500 yuan?"

"Two thousand five?" Bu Yue'e was stunned: "So expensive? Aren't goldfish quite cheap? Why are they more expensive than tropical fish?"

My mother hummed and said, "Ask your husband. He treats the broken fish as a treasure. He doesn't even kick me, and he even stares at me!"

I uttered: "The fruits of my labor in the morning were rejected by you? I got this fish from someone after getting worn out. Fortunately, the aunt didn't know anything. Otherwise, if someone who made some goldfish, it would be 25,000. It would be impossible for me to sell it to 25,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, you don't understand." My mother glanced at me: "Blow, blow it up."

Bu Yue'e was also dissatisfied with it, and squatted in front of the basin and dragged her chin in. "Apart from the color of purple, the head is fatter and the body is longer, I didn't see anything special?" I went there. This is not enough? Why are you more special? If it really grows three heads and six arms, is it still a goldfish? That's a fairy!

A creaking sound came out of the yard gate, and then a man said, "Is this Gu Jing's family?"

I was happy on my face and told my parents that this was the vice president of the Beijing Goldfish Association, and then immediately got up and went out to greet him: "Hello, President Cao, I'm so embarrassed to let you go all the way. Come, come, hurry up and have a cup of tea." I am also ready to ask him about how to estimate the high-end goldfish, so I'm extremely polite.

President Cao is a thin and tall middle-aged man with a buzz cut and looks quite energetic.

My parents and Bu Yue'e also walked out of the cottage at this time and greeted him one after another. Then, because the cottage was a bit shabby and not suitable for picking up customers, we all went to my mother's house. Bu Yue'e consciously grabbed the best tea leaves in the house, brewed a pot of tea, and poured him a cup.

"I'll do it myself." President Cao refused. Finally, he held the cup and asked Bu Yue'e to pour water. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Wan Ru and I are not outsiders, so don't be polite."

My mother glared at me and said to President Cao: "This child is really the case. In fact, he bought two broken fish. After he got home, he was so proud that he thought he had picked up the treasure. You see, this matter is a mess, so please come and go."

I said depressedly: "Mom, can you stop the fish that is broken?"

President Cao smiled: "Actually, fish are not about the high and low, the key is whether it depends on your appetite. By the way. Where is the fish? Let me see?"

My mother said, "In the hut, there are only two fish. This stupid boy spent 2,500 yuan.

President Cao said: "Oh, it's not cheap."

"Isn't it? My mother glanced at me in disappointment: "How many kilograms of carp can I buy with this money? It's enough for our family to eat for a year.

I didn't even look at my mother, but took a step first and took President Cao out of the house.
