Songlin Town is located in the suburbs, and it is only seven or eight kilometers from Songlin Town to the city, which can be reached in about ten minutes by bus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is about five miles from Nanwan Village to Songlin Town, and it takes about ten minutes to reach it by bicycle. Thanks to the geographical advantages of the suburbs, Songlin Town is more prosperous than other towns far from the city.

On weekends, many people from the city go to Songlin Town to fish and taste farmhouses, so there are many farmhouses and local restaurants in the town.

Songlin Town is rich in aquatic products, and people bring fresh fish and shrimp to the town every morning to sell. Sold until noon, the fish and shrimp that could not be sold were basically dead. These dead or dying fish and shrimp can only be sold to restaurants in the town at low prices.

The restaurants in the town basically have a fixed partner, and not everyone has the ability to sell dead fish and shrimp to the hotel.

On weekends and holidays, it is easier to sell, and there will be people from the city who come to patronize their business, which is usually very cold, and there are not many people who can eat fish and shrimp with the income of the locals alone.

Jiang Xiaobai pedaled his bicycle to the town, and according to usual, he should have come early in the morning.

Zhao Sanlin, who was squatting on the side of the road wearing a straw hat, was powerlessly selling, and Jiang Xiaobai's car braked in front of him. Zhao Sanlin thought that business was coming, so he lifted the brim of his hat to take a look, and found that it was Jiang Xiaobai, and sighed again and again.

"Why didn't you come to sell shrimp today? You didn't come in the morning, and I was bored all morning. ”

Jiang Xiaobai looked down at the plastic bucket in front of Zhao Sanlin, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, business is not very good today, I haven't sold anything." ”

"Alas, don't mention it, I didn't sell two catties of shrimp in the morning. There are so many left, you see, they are all dying, and they are sad to death. When I went back at noon, my mother-in-law must have been scolded again. ”

Zhao Sanlin is an honest man, he only knows how to squat on the side of the road and wait for buyers, and he is not as good as others will shout, his business has never been good, and there is no cooperative relationship with the hotel. The lobster died, and most of them were thrown away, and he didn't even bother to eat it, because he was tired of it.

"Brother Zhao, how much can you sell this bucket to a restaurant?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile.

Zhao Sanlin said: "You can't sell it to a hotel at a price, and it's good to be able to give fifty yuan." ”

These lobsters are not small, and they are all purely wild, and they can be sold in the city for sixty yuan per catty.

"Then give me all fifty dollars, I'll wrap it up. Jiang Xiaobai said.

"You kid is making fun of me, aren't you?" Zhao Sanlin didn't believe that Jiang Xiaobai would buy his shrimp at all, Jiang Xiaobai, like her, had never only sold shrimp and didn't buy shrimp.

"Fifty for you!"

Jiang Xiaobai took out a fifty sheet and threw it to Zhao Sanlin, and Zhao Sanlin was dumbfounded.

"Brother, do you really buy it?"

"If you don't sell it, give me the money, and I'll find someone else to buy it." ”

It's full of people who are still waiting for buyers, all of them waiting for people to visit.

"How can you not sell it. Zhao Sanlin hurriedly picked up the money and put it in his trouser pocket.

"I'm going to buy some more, you have a tricycle, help me transport it back in a moment. I won't let you do it for nothing, ten dollars for transportation, what?"

Jiang Xiaobai kicked more than 500 yuan, this is all his net worth, and he plans to spend it all today.

"Deal, brother, if it weren't for your generosity, my wife would definitely scold me again when I came home today. I don't want you for the transportation fee, go back and buy me a bag of Red River pumping. Zhao Sanlin smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Cheng, I'll buy you two packs. ”

A pack of Honghe is only two yuan, and it is only four yuan to buy two packs, which is a very cost-effective business.

Jiang Xiaobai sells shrimp and is very knowledgeable, he picks the kind that is big and pure wild to buy. Five hundred yuan was spent, and Zhao Sanlin's tricycle was full of them.

"Brother, brother, I don't understand, what are you buying so many shrimp for? These shrimp are dying, and they can last for forty minutes at most. You're a connoisseur, you know it. Zhao Sanlin was a little dazed by Jiang Xiaobai's actions today, and he didn't know why.

"You don't have to worry about that. Here's your two packets of Red River. Let's go, help me get the shrimp back!"

Jiang Xiaobai pedaled his bicycle in front, and Zhao Sanlin drove an electric tricycle in the back. There were too many shrimp in the car, and the load on the car was too heavy to run.

When they arrived at Jiang Xiaobai's house, the two worked together to unload the lobster from the car.

"Brother Zhao, hurry up and go back for lunch, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home." ”

Zhao Sanlin had a stomach full of questions, and before he could ask, he was pushed out of the door by Jiang Xiaobai. Closing the courtyard door, Jiang Xiaobai evenly poured the bucket of water that had been soaked in dragon-shaped copper ornaments before into the buckets containing the lobsters that were about to die.

Soon, a miracle happened again, and the lobsters that were dying quickly regained their vitality and began to get restless.

"Haha, it's done!"

Jiang Xiaobai waved his arm excitedly, he left the house and went to the second stunned man's house to borrow Qin Xianglian's tricycle envoy.

When she got there, Qin Xianglian was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Jiang Xiaobai, her face couldn't help but turn red.

"Auntie, lend me your tricycle, will you do it?"

"In the stove room, you push it yourself. Qin Xianglian was so ashamed that she didn't dare to glance at Jiang Xiaobai, thinking of the scene in the morning, the roots of her ears were still hot, and her heart was still pounding.

The second stunned man who was lying on the bed and was about to take a nap heard Jiang Xiaobai's voice in the house, ran out, and asked, "Xiaobai, why are you borrowing a tricycle?"

"Go into town. Jiang Xiaobai replied casually.

"Mom, I went into the city with Xiaobai. ”

The two were stunned and didn't say a word, and helped Jiang Xiaobai push the tricycle out of the stove room.

"Xiaobai, come up, I'll pull you over. ”

"Xiao Lang, come down and take a nap!" Qin Xianglian chased after her, and the two stunned pedaled the tricycle and ran away without a trace.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take a good look at the second stunned man, and I will definitely bring him back to you safely. Jiang Xiaobai knew what Qin Xianglian was worried about.

"Xiaobai, you have to take a good look at him......" Qin Xianglian asked Jiang Xiaobai earnestly.

When I got home, I was stunned. Jiang Xiaobai opened the door and said, "Let's put these buckets in the car, let's go to the city to sell shrimp." ”

The price of lobsters in the city is much more expensive than in the town, and it can be sold for at least twice as much, so Jiang Xiaobai has to go to the city to sell it.

"Xiaobai, where did you catch so many lobsters?" the two stunned were dumbfounded.

"Hurry up, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. ”

Jiang Xiaobai urged, and the two of them loaded all the barrels into the car in a while. The second stunned man pedaled the tricycle vigorously in front, and Jiang Xiaobai pushed it in the back and headed towards the county seat.
