Before Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng could reply, Boss Li shook his head and apologized and replied: "You are not here to buy fish fry, are you? You should go back, there are no fish fry to sell to you now."

Cui Shun'er was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Aren't there any fish fry to sell to us? Do you think we don't have money to buy fish fry? As long as the fish fry are healthy, the price is negotiable!"

Boss Li said "Oops" and quickly explained: "You have misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to sell the fish fry to you, but there are no fish fry in the fish pond to sell. Do you understand?"

Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng looked at each other, both puzzled, and said incredulously: "Isn't it the season for fish fry to come out? I see that you have such a large fish pond here. Could it be that the business is not good this year?"

Boss Li sighed in embarrassment and said, "To tell you the truth, a big customer came yesterday and bought all the fish fry that I can take away at once, so there are no fish fry that I can sell here today."

Knowing the reason why the fry were gone, Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng were caught off guard. They came here full of hope, thinking that they would return with a full reward, but now they were greatly disappointed.

Pei Zheng couldn't help being discouraged and said: "Boss Li, we are telling the truth, the reason why we came back to Hualing City to buy fry is because there are no fish in the river in our hometown."

Boss Li asked a lot: "Where is your hometown?"

"I came from Xiahe Village and stayed at an inn last night. It was the proprietress who introduced you."

Cui Shun'er followed the eldest son and added: "Boss Li, it's really not easy for us to come here once. I thought that with the introduction of the lady boss, I could at least bring some fish fry back. Can you help us?"

Boss Li and the proprietress of the inn have a deep friendship. Hearing this, he became even more embarrassed, so he thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I'll introduce you to some fish farmers. They should have some fish fry in their hands." Yes, go and ask."

Cui Shun'er quickly agreed, thanked Boss Li, and then she took Pei Zheng to search one by one.

It is true that Xiahe Village is too far away from Hualing City, and it will take two days to go back and forth, not to mention that the fish pond at home has already been dug, and they have to buy fish fry to take back, otherwise it will be a real loss .

According to the address given by Boss Li, Cui Shun'er came to the home of the first Boss Wang.

Boss Wang's house also has a large fish pond, and he also hired staff to help raise and take care of it. When Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng arrived, Boss Wang had just finished negotiating business with someone.

Cui Shun'er didn't beat around the bush, and explained straight to the point: "We were introduced by Boss Li from the west of Chengxi, and I want to ask if you still have fry for sale here?"

Boss Wang saw them sweating profusely, poured them a glass of water, and replied honestly: "It's a coincidence, this year's business is so good that until this morning, all the fish fry in my fish pond were bought. The boss must not have only introduced our family, would you like to visit Boss Zhang's house?"

After finding nothing again, Cui Shun'er had no choice but to continue to go to Boss Zhang's house, and then the mother and son went to several fish ponds. After traveling for four or five days, the result was that the other party was out of stock.

Pei Zheng muttered: "This shouldn't be, why are there no fish fry before we go? Could it be that this is God's arrangement, is it destined that we will have no fish in Xiahe Village?"

Cui Shun'er patted his son on the shoulder twice, and cheered up: "Don't think too much, it's just that the fish pond we happened to go to was sold out of fry, not to mention that we have already made full preparations, God will not let us down so cruelly. return."

Pei Zheng wiped his face, and looked at his mother with firm eyes again, "Mother, you are right, there must be places selling fish fry around here, but we haven't gone there yet."

But all the places they should go have already gone, and there is no fish pond for them to go to right now.

Cui Shun'er pressed the center of her brows wearily, and suggested weakly: "Forget it, let's call it a day. It's getting dark soon, so let's go back to the inn first. Your mother and I are not as strong as before. I have been wandering around for the past few days." Chasing, the body is really overwhelmed, so go to bed early tonight."

Pei Zheng was filial, knowing that his mother's health was the most important thing, so he immediately agreed.

Back at the inn, the mother and son sat at the table tired and frustrated, asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea, and then ordered two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish and two bowls of rice.

The two of them still had the buns they ate in the morning. They hadn't eaten all day, and they didn't have time to drink a few sips of water. They were really hungry and exhausted right now.

When they were full and lay down on the table for a short rest, the proprietress of the inn came out from the back kitchen and asked them with a smile, "How's it going, have you bought fry yet?"

Cui Shun'er smiled wryly and sighed: "Damn! This Hualing City is really famous for raising fish well, even the fish fry are very popular! After all, we have been here for five days, but even a catty and a half tael None of the fish fry have been seen!"

Hearing this, the proprietress widened her eyes and said in shock, "No way! In previous seasons, fish fry could be supplied every day, why is there such a large demand this year?"

Cui Shun'er couldn't figure out the reason, and said irritably: "Madam, thank you for your hospitality these days. On the way back tonight, we heard from passers-by that there is a fish pond nearby. We will see the last fish pond tomorrow. , going back."

The proprietress was reluctant, but she still sincerely expressed her wishes: "Maybe I will buy fry tomorrow! Anyway, don't be discouraged, I hope it will appear in front of you!"

Cui Shun'er also wanted to think positively and objectively, after all, she also comforted her boss in this way during the day, but just now when she thought that tomorrow is really the last family, and when it is gone, it will be gone, a huge disappointment welled up in her heart.

The next day, Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng went to the east of the city to find Boss Liu. This time they didn't hold much hope, so after seeing Boss Liu, the two were in a stable mood and expressed their needs in a normal tone.

When Boss Liu heard that they were here to buy fish fry, he hurriedly entertained them warmly, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's a coincidence that you came here. There just happened to be a batch of fish fry in my fish pond. Come with me, and I'll take you to see them. Look!"

Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng were dumbfounded, this result was too unexpected and pleasant for them.

After a few seconds, the two came back to their senses, followed Boss Liu happily, and went to a fish pond to check the fry.

Pei Zheng happily pointed to the lively young fish fry and said, "Mother, look, these fish fry look very good, there is no limit to the road!"

Cui Shun'er also sighed: "Yeah, it happened to be out of stock before, but now it happens to have seedlings. Life is really full of surprises and surprises everywhere!"
