Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

Not long after, Xu Dongsheng caught another fish, but this fish was not as big as the one on the lever, weighing only 12 pounds. As soon as Xu Dongsheng's fish came up, people who had been eyeing it came over immediately. People who fish here all know the rules. If they want to buy or sell, they will not trade on the shore, otherwise if they are seen, they will be reported. Therefore, those who come forward at this time usually want to exchange things.

"I'll give you this pearl in exchange for this fish, okay?"

Xu Dongsheng took a look at the fist-sized glass bead in the man's hand and immediately knew its current value. This thing is worth two yuan now. This fish weighs twelve kilograms and can't be sold for two yuan. So Xu Dongsheng didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed and the sun was starting to set. Xu Dongsheng had used up the bait and made a new one, but it had also been consumed. The overall harvest was not bad. He caught more than 130 kilograms of fish, big and small, and basically replaced all of them. So Xu Dongsheng's car was also filled with a lot of small gadgets, some of which were children holding adults' pipes, some were small porcelain bottles, and some were copper coins.

Xu Dongsheng calculated the current value of these fish and estimated their future value. After all, he couldn't take many of them away, so Xu Dongsheng replaced them all. In the end, he only tied up the largest fish and hung it on the front of the bicycle. As for why he caught so many fish when he only wanted one, it was because fishing seemed to be an addiction, especially under the envious eyes of others.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Xu Dongsheng rode his bicycle towards the steel mill. After Xu Dongsheng handed over the 23-pound fish, it was not time to get off work at the steel mill yet, so Xu Dongsheng did not wait for Old Xu.

Lao Xu also had a few of his friends who made an appointment to go back together. It wasn't very good for him to take them away, so he simply went back to cook for Lao Xu.

So Xu Dongsheng didn't stay and went back directly. When he arrived at the courtyard, he found Yan Bugui watering the flowers in the yard. When he saw Xu Dongsheng, he didn't say a word, but just snorted lightly. Xu Dongsheng didn't care.

"Old man, I heard that there was a young man who was good at fishing in Houhai today. He traded all the fish he caught on the shore. He traded all kinds of fish. He didn't seem to have any requirements. It seemed that as long as he liked it, he would trade it with you. Why don't you bring some food with you tomorrow? If you can trade it for a fish, it will be considered meat and fish.

I heard that the man caught several big fish, some weighing more than 10 or 20 kilograms, and the smallest weighing half a kilogram. Although the fish is not very tasty because it lacks oil, except for the bones and thorns, the rest is pure meat. "

Just as Xu Dongsheng entered the house, Third Aunt came in from outside. Seeing Third Uncle watering the flowers, she immediately told him the big news she had heard outside.

"Tsk, how can the fish in Houhai be so easy to catch? Have I not been fishing in Houhai often enough? Those fish are very strong, weighing more than 10 or 20 kilograms. You are just listening to others' boasting, it is impossible. You probably want to eat fish, so you want me to go fishing?"

Hearing his wife's words, Yan Bugui sneered, and then looked at the third aunt as if to say, "I see through you."

"Hey, don't disbelieve me, it's true. It was Old Wang from Maoer Hutong who told me. I saw it at the time. The fish he was holding was not small. He said it weighed 13 pounds. Wow, it's really not small.

He told me that he exchanged a pair of walnuts for it. He got them when playing Landlord. He didn't ask for money. He thought they were good, so he took them to try. He didn't expect to get such a big fish in exchange. Even if the fish was 50 cents a pound, it would still be 6.5 yuan."

Seeing Yan Bugui's disbelief, the third aunt immediately gave a name that they both knew, and that lived in Mao'er Hutong, not far from Nanluoguxiang. This person was someone they knew very well. Yan Bugui looked at the third aunt's serious look and began to believe it.

"But how do you know if they will still be there tomorrow? Besides, fishing also involves luck. If I go there and they don't catch anything, wouldn't that be embarrassing? And it would be a waste of half a day's time. However, I can go and take a look. If there really is one, I'll take my flowers, or no, I'll just bring a flowerpot with me. If I can exchange it for a pound or two of fish, then it's a profit."

Yan Bugui asked the third aunt a question in return, leaving her speechless. But then Yan Bugui looked like he was very smart, touched his chin, and said that he would go there, and if he got the exchange, he would make a profit. If he didn't, it would just be a matter of walking a distance. From here to Shichahai, it was only two or three kilometers by taking a shortcut, which was not very far.

"Well, you can go if you want."

The third aunt looked at Yan Bugui's calculating look and didn't argue with him, and went straight into the house. Xu Dongsheng heard their conversation and smiled. Whether he would go fishing or not was another matter, but he was just dreaming to exchange a broken flower pot for a pound or two of fish. Xu Dongsheng had seen the flower pots at Yan Bugui's door, they were just ordinary pottery pots. Five cents each was too expensive.

Soon Old Xu came back from get off work. Xu Dongsheng had dinner with Old Xu and drank two glasses of wine with him. After sending Old Xu to bed, he tidied up the house, locked the front door, closed the door of the room, and took out the leather booklet he had obtained during the day.

Taking out the leather booklet, Xu Dongsheng began to read. It was exactly as he thought. The leather booklet had a total of sixty-four pages, and each page described the result of each hexagram.

This is a good thing for Xu Dongsheng. He can judge whether a hexagram is auspicious or not by looking at the lines and hexagrams on the imperial edict. However, he can only interpret the lines one by one, and the interpretation of the lines is only translated into classical Chinese, without any deeper explanation.

This book tells about the interpretation of the results of the sixty-four hexagrams, so Xu Dongsheng no longer needs to interpret the lines word by word. After referring to the two, he can get the optimal solution.

As for the authenticity of the book, Xu Dongsheng estimated that a leather book that was worth a thousand dollars these days must be much more authentic than the books he bought for twenty dollars in his previous life.

Xu Dongsheng began to flip through the pages one by one. He had undergone several strengthenings. These strengthenings seemed to only strengthen his body, but his memory also improved a lot. Of course, maybe it was because he had lived two lives and his body was a fusion of two souls, so Xu Dongsheng's mind became much clearer.

So after Xu Dongsheng opened a page and finished reading it, he remembered it. He could almost be said to have a photographic memory.

Xu Dongsheng looked at the booklet. Every time he turned a page, he began to think about what the hexagram looked like and its yin and yang changes. Slowly, Xu Dongsheng became obsessed with the knowledge in the leather booklet. When Xu Dongsheng finished reading the booklet, his brain vibrated. Obviously, today had passed.

Xu Dongsheng waited for a moment, but no knowledge came to his mind. He then realized that today's Feng Shui Huan Gua did not bring him any skill rewards. He just got a bunch of useless snacks.

However, Xu Dongsheng didn't care about it. Although it is said that having many skills is good, it is a burden on his brain. If he learns a new skill every day, it will be annoying.
