Chapter 6 Selling fish! make money! There was no spark when we first met
"mom!"
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Ding Xiaoxiang is angry and funny. Ten yuan a pound? This kind of crab and tiger fish, which is half a catty in size, cannot be sold at this price. Anyone who grew up in a fishing village understands this at the age of five or six.
"Yo!"
"Are you stupid?"
"How stupid are you to set up such a stall here to do business?"
"That guy just looked at you for a long time, thinking that he could accept it at a low price. I didn't expect that guy to turn around and leave."
Zhang Li shook her head.
"mom!"
"How can you talk like this?!"
Ding Xiaoxiang blushed and glared at Zhang Li.
"snort!"
"No one will accept this kid's fish! You have to come back soon!"
Zhang Li ignored Ding Xiaoxiang and stared at Zhao Dahai's back until he was out of sight.
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head, her mother really thought too much. No one catches this fish? How can it be? Don't look at the fact that the town is close to the seaside. There is no shortage of crabs, tigers and fish, but they are all small. The ones that the man brought just now are all big ones, and they are very popular. Don't worry about this fish.
Zhao Dahai left Ding Xiaoxiang's stall and continued to walk forward. He found a few stalls and asked about the price. One of them opened the price of twenty-three yuan. After weighing it, I found that the net bag weighed twenty-five kilograms and seven taels with three taels of buckle attached, which was worth five hundred and ninety-one yuan and a dime.
Zhao Dahai counted it carefully twice and found that it was OK. He stuffed it into his pocket, packed up the mesh bag and bucket, and turned around to leave.
"This boss."
"Come and see the fish on our stall!"
"They all arrived early this morning. Fish from small fishing boats. Very fresh."
…
"Look at this grouper."
…
"The sand pointed fish are all one or two weight."
"Less thorns and more meat. Pan-fried ones are the best!"
…
Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang greeted everyone passing by skillfully, and the fish, shrimp and crabs at the stall were selling fast.
"mom!"
"Your crab tiger fish can't be contained now!"
Ding Xiaoxiang killed a fish, put it in a bag, and handed it to the buyer. Seeing Zhao Dahai walking by not far from the stall, with the bucket in his hand, it goes without saying that he must have sold it.
"Why!"
"This brother. Did you sell your fish?"
Zhang Li's face looked a little ugly, she forced out a smile and shouted at Zhao Dahai.
"yes!"
"Sold!"
"Twenty-three pounds. Currency."
Zhao Dahai didn't expect Zhang Li to say hello, but he immediately understood that he wanted to know how much he would sell for. He didn't want to say it at first, but when he rolled his eyes, he changed his mind.
“The price is good!”
Zhang Li is very regretful. She has set up a fish stall here for ten years. The price of the fish market is very clear. Half a catty of crab goby can be sold for thirty-one catties. I saw it clearly just now. The smallest half catty Seven or eight pieces are nine taels a catty, and the remaining few are more than one catty or even more than two catties. The currency price is 23 yuan, and you can earn one or two hundred yuan. Sell it to restaurants and earn more , the key is that the fish got to me first, and I blame myself for being too greedy.
Zhao Dahai smiled. Zhang Li didn't mean what she said.
"Something's wrong!"
"Let's go!"
Zhao Dahai waved his hand.
"Okay."
"do your stuff."
"I caught a fish later. Bring it to me. I'll give you a good price."
Zhang Li forced out a smile and shouted.
Zhao Dahai nodded, turned and left.
"mom!"
"That kid just wanted to make you angry on purpose!"
Ding Xiaoxiang wiped some water on her apron with both hands,
"You think I don't know?"
"Pity!"
"Confiscate these crab tiger fish!"
Zhang Li sighed.
Ding Xiaoxiang laughed, her mother is very shrewd, no one in the whole fish market can match her business, this time she is really a bit greedy, she wanted to make a lot of money but ended up in vain. However, no one can blame this.
Carrying the bucket, Zhao Dahai left the fish market and patted his pocket, which contained nearly 600 yuan.
Zhao Dahai turned around and turned into another small street next to the fish market. Rice noodles and meat were sold here. He bought a bag of fifty catties of rice to carry on his shoulders, and another ten catties of pork belly, plus some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and vegetable seeds. After carrying several large bags and so on, I finally bought a few pieces of red date cake before returning to the village.
Heavy?
This is impossible!
With money in my pocket, I feel as if I'm walking on clouds, light and airy, with a gust of wind as I walk.
One o'clock at noon.
The sun is high in the sky.
It's like a stove, very hot.
Zhao Dahai strode into the yard and shouted that grandma would come back by herself.
Zhong Cuihua walked out of the hall and saw Zhao Dahai carrying it on his shoulders and immediately helped.
"grandmother!"
"This is red date paste. Try it."
Zhao Dahai put down his things and took the bag containing red date paste.
"Yo!"
"What are you spending this money on?"
Zhong Cuihua shook her head.
"How much did it cost?"
"Your eldest grandson, I made money."
"Isn't it normal to buy you something delicious?"
"Eat it all while it's hot."
Zhao Dahai opened the bag, took out a piece, and put it in Zhong Cuihua's hand.
"well!"
"eat!"
"Eat them all!"
Zhong Cuihua brought the red date paste to her mouth, took a small bite, and smiled.
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, took a bowl, poured half a bowl of water, and brought it out. The corners of Zhong Cuihua's eyes were shining, which showed how worried she had been in the past two years.
"grandmother."
"Eat slowly."
Zhao Dahai pretended not to see it. He placed a small table next to Zhong Cuihua and put water on it. He didn't come back, so he must not have eaten. When he returned to the kitchen, he found that the rice had been cooked on the stove. He took the pork belly he had just bought and cut it into half. Jin, put it in the pot and cook it for half an hour over high heat. Take it out when it is soft and rotten, slice it into pieces, put it on a plate, pat two garlic cloves, pour some soy sauce, put two bowls of rice in it, take it out to the yard and put it on the table.
Zhao Dahai picked up a piece of meat and put it on Zhong Cuihua's rice. After taking the chopsticks, he started eating.
Hungry!
Really hungry!
Zhao Dahai waved his chopsticks like a excavator and ate with big mouthfuls.
Zhong Cuihua held the bowl and took a mouthful of rice into her mouth while looking at Zhao Dahai with a smile on her face.
After Zhao Dahai finished lunch, he told his grandma Zhong Cuihua that the crab and tiger fish he caught had been sold for nearly 600 yuan. He originally wanted to give the money to grandma Zhong Cuihua, but no, he said that he was already eighteen years old and the mainstay of the family, so he had to manage the money himself. .
Zhao Dahai took a rest, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He remembered that his grandma Zhong Cuihua had said that someone must be fishing for crabs and tiger fish in the village. He knew that this was most likely true, but he was a little unwilling to give up. He walked out of the yard and strode towards the village. Go to the small pier in front of you.
sunset
The fishing boats scattered on the sea are covered with glittering golden light and the fish are jumping one by one. It is like a scene of fishermen singing at night.
Zhao Dahai didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate it. He walked along the beach and stretched his neck to look at the reef area where he caught crab and tiger fish last night.
someone! There were not only people, but quite a few. I saw more than a dozen black spots from a distance. Grandma was right, everyone in the village went there to catch crab and tiger fish.
Zhao Dahai's face was a bit ugly. When he went home last night, he met Zhong Shizhu at the small pier and chatted for a few words. There were several other people around, and they all knew that he had caught a giant crab tiger. Needless to say, the news spread instantly. are here. Grandma said that she was lucky. When she first sold the crab tiger, she thought she would seize the time to fish again and make more money. Now the situation is completely cool. Don’t even think about it. There are so many people and they must have fished since last night. So far, everything that can be caught has been caught.
Meat?
Soup is gone!
There is no scum left.
Zhao Dahai continued to walk forward, wanting to see with his own eyes how many people were fishing for crabs and tigers.
