Chapter 25 Free gift

"Old man, what's the matter?" Zhang Yu asked with concern.

"Don't you want to buy fish? I'm the fish seller... Just tell me what kind of fish you want to buy." The old man said cheerfully.

At this moment, the old man's energy has become very strong, and he seems to be in good health.

"Buy five goldfish." Zhang Yu told the truth.

"Don't buy it, I'll give you five." The old man said directly with a smile.

"Really?" Zhang Yu was serious and didn't mean to be polite at all.

"How can this be fake? There are only five goldfish. They are worth more than my life! Did you see that this fish stall belongs to me? I can catch whichever fish I like." The old man said with a smile.

"Old man, if you ask me to fish it, I will fish it." Zhang Yu said with a grin.

"That's right, I like straightforward people. Help me up, the ground is quite cool, just sit for a while..." The old man said and looked at his granddaughter.

How could the girl help him? With Zhang Yu's help, she helped the old man up and sat down on a chair nearby.

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If you are hypocritical, I won't look down on you. It's almost time to eat, so don't leave in a hurry. Just stay and eat. If you can drink, we can have two glasses. .”

"I can drink some wine..." Zhang Yu also said with a smile.

"Qianqian, as a side dish for lunch today, remember to fry some peanuts and bring out the good wine I have collected." The old man said happily.

"You're drinking again..." The girl frowned.

"Don't delay, that's medicinal wine, it's good for your health..." the old man said.

"What's the benefit..." The girl tightened her nose and reluctantly walked towards the store at the back.

Zhang Yu was chatting with the old man at the fish stall outside. He often chatted with Lao Wangtou before, and he had no problems communicating with the elderly.

One old and one young, the conversation was quite speculative. Seeing that nothing happened, the people standing nearby dispersed one after another.

The old man asked Zhang Yu what he was buying goldfish for, whether he was keeping it for fun, whether he was just practicing, or he had already acquired it and wanted to exchange it for something better. Zhang Yu told the truth and said that for the sake of Feng Shui, the old man also knew a little about Feng Shui. The two of them followed this topic and started chatting again.

Listening to Zhang Yu's views on Feng Shui, the old man gave it a thumbs up, thinking that what Zhang Yu said was reasonable and insightful. And unlike ordinary young people, he knows a lot, and most importantly, he is willing to chat with this old guy.

At half past eleven, the girl invited the two of them to eat. This store is not small, covering more than 100 square meters. In addition to enough space to raise fish, there is also a place to sleep. They set up a table near the door for convenience in selling goods.

The old man drank medicinal wine, and he and Zhang Yu each drank a glass. When she saw her grandfather drinking, the girl frowned. Seeing her grandfather pouring so much, she even scolded her. The old man just laughed and said that he was happy today and would drink more for the rest of his life.

He clinked glasses with Zhang Yu, and the old man and the young man took a sip together. After the wine was finished, Zhang Yu said, "Old man, what does this medicinal wine of yours cure? Why do I feel something is wrong when I drink it?"

"It doesn't feel right, what can you say?" the old man asked curiously.

"I can tell that there is salvia in your wine, which can prevent heart disease. But it also contains several medicines for treating rheumatism, such as Fangfeng and Duhuo." Zhang Yu said seriously.

"What a good boy, you have some skills. Can you even drink this?" the old man said in surprise.

"My master has taught me these, especially the common medicines for making wine. I have tried them all. I made my grandfather's medicinal wine for him. The wine you made is wrong. The disease must be treated with special medicine. You can't Mixing them together blindly. Salvia miltiorrhiza and Duhuo are a bit conflicting together and will offset the effects of some medicines. If you listen to me, you have to prepare them separately. I will prescribe two prescriptions for you, one to treat rheumatism and one to prevent heart disease. Yes. Drink the two kinds of medicinal wine in turn, it is guaranteed to be more effective than yours." Zhang Yu said confidently.

"I said that after drinking for so long, I still don't see you. It turns out that the brewing method is wrong. Today I met someone who understands. I should say it, but my luck seems to be good. I met a noble person." The old man said with a smile.

"It's not certain whether I am your noble person, but from the look on your face, you are a blessed person. It is not a problem to live to be a hundred years old." Zhang Yu said with a smile again.

"I went to have my fortune told a few years ago, and I also said the same thing. Boy, I'm sure you will be my friend. By the way, what's your name?"

Zhang Yu reported his name, and the old man also reported his own name. His name was Nie Zhongyuan, and the girl was his granddaughter, named Nie Qian. My wife passed away the year before last, and I have a son. Although I and my wife work in Zhenhai City, Zhenhai City is so big and the distance between the two districts is too far, so I rarely come back. The granddaughter stays here to go to school, and the old man’s family is not short of money. Fish farming is his hobby, otherwise he would have nothing to do at home all day long.

The more they chatted, the more they became interested. They drank half a cup more. Zhang Yu was fine and the old man's face was flushed. As the old man suggested, I will pick nine good fish for you. Just replace the fish you raised before. Also, how about the fish farming equipment and the fish tank? Otherwise, wherever your home is, I will go and see it myself and help you check it.

Although Zhang Yu knew some Feng Shui, he was not good at raising fish. He only knew a little about it but had never raised one. He was very happy when he heard what the old man said. After eating, he went to the agency with the old man. When they arrived at the place, Yang Yingzheng was sitting alone, looking towards the door like a stone. There were two lunch boxes on the table, neither opened.

Seeing Zhang Yu come back with an old man, Yang Ying said curiously: "Why are you back? This is..."

"This is Mr. Nie, the fish seller, my new friend. He came over to help me see how our fish farming equipment looks like." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"New friends?" When Yang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but be filled with doubts. How could Zhang Yu still make friends after just one day here? But out of politeness, she still greeted Mr. Nie and called him "Uncle."

The old man was polite to her, then saw where the fish tank was, and pulled Zhang Yu over.

Then, he started to shake his head and pointed at Jiangshan, "Your fish is okay, but why is the water so muddy? How can you raise fish without changing the water frequently? And the filtration is too bad, and the oxygen pump is not even It’s not possible, that is, it’s okay if there are only a few fish, but if you raise nine, there will definitely be a lack of oxygen… and the tank is too small…”

Hearing what the old man said, Yang Ying immediately realized something was wrong. This was Zhang Yu's new friend. He was clearly asking Zhang Yu to buy new fish farming equipment. The equipment I bought was not cheap, costing more than a thousand. At that time, I had good conditions, so it was nothing. But now, the conditions do not allow it. If I buy a better one, how much will it cost?

Yang Ying quickly said: "Xiao Yu, come here..."

While speaking, he blinked at Zhang Yu.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yu walked to Yang Ying's side.

Yang Ying whispered: "Did your friend deliberately trick you into buying things? I don't have much money on hand now, so let's just make do with it, but don't change it."

When the old man saw Yang Ying blinking at Zhang Yu and talking behind her back, the old man knew that his life was not in vain at such an old age, so he immediately guessed what was going on.

Therefore, before Zhang Yu could say anything, he rushed to say: "Xiao Yu and I are old friends, and we have known each other for a long time. I don't charge a penny for the things he uses to raise fish, and they are all given away for free!"

"Ah?" After hearing this, Yang Ying was immediately confused. Is there such a person these days? How did Zhang Yu get to know this person? He has been living in Zhenhai for so many years and has never encountered such a good thing.
