Chapter 8 Selling River Fresh

When he went to the edge of the reservoir and took out the snakeskin bag of river mussels, Huo Sining rushed to the county seat non-stop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was a bus to the county seat at the entrance of the village, and Huo Sining was in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a bus driving over.

She scrambled to the car, and the driver glanced at the burlap bag she was carrying behind her, not paying much attention.

Baiyun Town is only half an hour's drive to the county seat, and dozens of meters to the county seat is a large vegetable market.

It was crowded with vendors who had come from the countryside to the city to do business, so Huo Sining's presence was unremarkable.

When she arrived at the vegetable market, she chose a corner and placed the river mussels she brought on the ground one by one.

Those mussels were frightened and shrunk in their shells one by one, but now when the crisis is lifted, they poke their bodies out one by one.

Huo Sining had never done business, and his face was thin-skinned, so he didn't dare to follow the shouting of those hawkers.

Coupled with the fact that she was hiding in a corner, there were very few buyers of mussels who came to see her.

Finally, a woman came, and when she saw that her mussel was so big, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and muttered to herself in her heart:

Such a large river mussel is definitely not wild, it is artificially raised, maybe it has been injected with hormones. After only a few glances, he hurried away.

If Huo Sining knew what the woman was thinking, he would have cried:

What kind of artificial breeding, auntie, I am a real wild river mussel, without adulteration! I personally went into the water to fish in the reservoir!

By ten o'clock in the morning, the market was slowly becoming less crowded.

The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the vendors who have stalls are fine, and they have a shady place to sit.

The itinerant vendors had no choice, and they were worried that the vegetables would be dried by the sun, so they could only carry the burden back first.

Huo Sining squatted in the vegetable market for more than two hours, his feet were numb, and there was no customer.

The river mussel is short of water for a long time, and with sun exposure, it will not take long to die.

Huo Sining was a little depressed in her heart, she never expected this to be the case, this was completely different from what she had imagined before.

Isn't there a shortage of wild river fresh? Why can't she sell a single river mussel?

This seriously hit Huo Sining's enthusiasm, and her original idea of making money by selling river fresh retracted into her stomach little by little.

Just when Huo Sining retreated and was about to go home, a thin man in his forties and fifties walked into the vegetable market.

The man walked past her stall, and was going to go straight to the fresh and parallel goods area, but he didn't expect his eyes to inadvertently glance at the things placed on the stall where Huo Sining was.

The man's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he subconsciously sighed, and his hurried footsteps paused abruptly, and he turned a corner and stood in front of Huo Sining.

Huo Sining was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw the man squatting down and reaching out to grab a river mussel.

Huo Sining was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, do you want to buy river mussels?" My river mussels are of high quality and will never be adulterated, can you buy one and taste it?"

Liu Qingdong grabbed the river mussel in his hand and checked it, and counted the grain rings along the shell of the river mussel, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but raise his head and ask:

"Little girl, how do you sell this river mussel?"

Huo Sining hurriedly replied: "Sell it in a shell, three yuan a catty." ”

Liu Qingdong was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and glanced at the river mussel in his hand again, thinking that he had taken a look: "This river mussel is not wild?"

Huo Sining said with a smile: "Look at what you said, it's not wild, I dare to hit the sign of wild river fresh? ”

Seeing that Huo Sining was serious, Liu Qingdong was immediately happy: "Little girl, you are doing business for the first time, right?"

"Huh?"

Huo Sining was dumbfounded, not knowing how Liu Qingdong saw it, and couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment.

"How do you know?"

Liu Qingdong said with a smile: "I come here every day to choose ingredients, and I am very familiar with this piece." Look at your face, it must be the first time to come to this vegetable market, and the wild river fresh trade is also very disciplined, and the river mussels are not sold like this, do you know?"

Huo Sining was stunned, and looked at Liu Qingdong humbly asking for advice:

"Uncle, you're right, I didn't just finish the exam and wanted to make some money, so I wanted to come out to do river fresh trading, but no one bought it for a long time, I just started in the industry and don't know the rules, uncle, if you don't mind, can you give me some pointers?"

Liu Qingdong was interested in this batch of goods in Huo Sining's hands, and Huo Sining's attitude was sincere and serious, he had a good impression, and he didn't take Qiao, so he grabbed the river mussel in his hand and preached to Huo Sining.

"Mussels are perennial organisms, rich in calcium, the bigger they grow, the longer they are, the more nutritious, and the more strong the meat bites, just like the old chickens are better than the young chickens, whether the mussels are delicious or not, has a lot to do with its age. In the same way, the river mussel wants to grow, it is inseparable from water, the cleaner the lake water, the more tender the meat of the river mussel, and only clean water can raise a good mussel. ”

Huo Sining nodded earnestly.

Baiyun Mountain is rich in minerals, and the water in the mountain is sweet and delicious, and several drinking companies use it as a source of water.

The water of Baiyun Reservoir comes from the mountains, and the water quality is of course clean and clear, so it is no wonder that such a large river mussel can be raised.

"How to look at the quality of the mussels, first of all, look at the size of the mussels, that is, the weight, such as the one in my hand, you can know it by holding it in my hand. ”

"The weight of this mussel should be about two and a half catties, and then depending on the age, the growth line of the mussel is the same as that of a tree, from spring to autumn, the growth line is dense to sparse. ”

"Mussels that have grown for several years will form thick and dark concentric circles on the top of their shells, and to determine the age of mussels, it is necessary to count how many growth lines it has. ”

"For example, this river mussel, roughly estimated to be more than five years old, and finally the meat quality, generally the more bulging the root of the mussel shell, the thicker the meat inside, and the higher the cost performance. ”

Huo Sining was extremely surprised, she didn't expect an inconspicuous river mussel to have so many words, thinking of Liu Qingdong's previous rules for selling river fresh, she couldn't help but be a little curious:

"You said that this is not how the mussels are sold, so how should they be sold?"

"Whether it's sold by a pound, you have to sell it. Liu Qingdong explained with a smile.

"Huh?" Huo Sining's eyes widened.

Liu Qingdong continued: "Ordinary river mussels are the size of a palm, of course this kind of annual river mussels can be sold by catties, but this kind of river mussels of yours is not an ordinary thing, and it is really a tyrannical thing to sell, fortunately, no one knows the goods this morning, otherwise you will sell this top river fresh for three yuan a catty, and it will be a big loss!"

Huo Sining couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Liu Qingdong's words.

As for selling, she has been setting up a stall here for hours, and there is no one to ask the price, so she can't sell it at all.

Seeing Huo Sining's entangled expression, probably seeing her thoughts, Liu Qingdong hated iron and steel.

"Why don't you open your mind? This kind of high-quality river mussel is a rare thing in the fresh supermarket, how can you sell it when you sell it in the vegetable market?"

Huo Sining's eyes lit up when he heard this.

That's right, why didn't she think of this layer, this vegetable market can't be sold, she can take it to the fresh supermarket, the place is full of high-quality goods, her wild river mussel is so high-quality, someone must want it.

Just do it when she thinks of it, Huo Sining bent down and bowed to Liu Qingdong, after all, she was ordered by others, and she didn't want to get the benefits in vain, so she said generously: "Uncle, thank you for reminding me." This mussel is for you to taste!"

As she spoke, she picked up the snakeskin bag and began to fill the mussels.

Since she can't sell it, she doesn't plan to be exposed to the sun in this market, so she might as well try her luck in a fresh supermarket.

"Hey, wait, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Huo Sining put the river mussels back into the snakeskin bag one by one, Liu Qingdong suddenly became anxious and grabbed Huo Sining's arm to prevent her from pretending.

Huo Sining wondered: "I'll pack up the river mussels and sell them to the fresh supermarket." ”

"I just said that you don't open your mind, you are really impatient. I haven't finished speaking, what are you anxious about?"

Liu Qingdong was angry and laughed: "Why do you think I told you so much nonsense just now, do you think I opened a charity hall? ”
