When Wang Yi saw something not far away, his eyes lit up.

Yellow eel cage, used to put down the yellow eel, at this time the yellow eel is not as expensive as later generations, in the countryside almost the same price as meat, or a little more expensive, the price is definitely more than three pieces, if it can be sold to the city, it is a little cheap to sell four pieces, and even nearly five pieces are bought.

Of course, it's really hard to sell retail here, after all, this is a rural market, and everyone would rather eat pork than eat this thing, and if you put it in the city, you don't have to worry about sales. But they are an hour away by bicycle from Tangyi District, about 30 minutes by bus, and about 10 to 15 minutes by car.

Two words, too far!

If there is no market, no matter how much yellow eel there is, it will not help, and there will be no way to make money at all, so you can only sell yourself and improve your life, which is not what you want.

Wang Yi stood on a slightly higher place, looking at the place where fish, shrimp and seafood were sold, and sure enough, he saw someone buying yellow eel, it seems that there are still quite a lot of people with brains, and this group of people will definitely become the first group of people to get rich.

Now that there is a market, there is no need to worry, go to the stall that sells eel cages. Wang Yicai discovered that there are now two kinds of eel cages, one is made of bamboo, and the other is made of plastic.

The stall was a fifty-year-old man, Wang Yi squatted down and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell eel cages?"

Seeing that someone asked the price, the wrinkled uncle said with a smile: "The bamboo cage is five dollars a piece, and this plastic is two yuan a piece." ”

"It's so expensive. Wang Yi muttered, I really don't know the price of this thing in this period, I think in my heart, in fact, it is not expensive at all, if you are lucky, you can come back in a day, and then asked: "Why is this plastic more expensive than bamboo?"

The uncle explained: "The plastic one is better than the bamboo one, and it is not easy to break, and I have to admire the person who invented the eel cage for so many years." As he spoke, he deliberately brought the two kinds of eel cages to the front for comparison, which made people have a significant understanding.

That's right, the plastic is not only beautiful, but also more practical, and asked: "Uncle, can it be cheaper, you see I'm going to buy ten, not cheap one or two pieces or something." ”

The uncle hurriedly shook his head, "Little doll, my small business, I don't have to make any money if it's cheaper, and it can't be cheap at all." ”

"It's no wonder you don't have to make money. Since he refused to give in to the price, he retreated to the next best thing, using roundabout tactics, pointing to the side of the inverted teeth, and said: "Then you send me a little more of this thing, otherwise I won't buy it from you." ”

The inverted tooth is a cone-shaped structure, which is the entrance to the eel cage, so that the yellow eel cannot come out after entering the cage. The lower yellow eel will also be damaged, as long as one is broken around, it will not play the role of intercepting the yellow eel, so it is necessary to prepare some to replace at any time.

"No problem. The uncle agreed: "As long as you buy ten eel cages, I will give you two inverted teeth." ”

"Just two inverted teeth, uncle, can you pit a little more. Wang Yi felt that it was all in vain to say so much, so he stretched out a slap and said firmly: "Five, at least five, otherwise I won't buy it from you."

Because it was not a direct counteroffer, the uncle didn't understand the twists and turns, seeing that Du Wang Yi was so determined, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, five is five." ”

After receiving the other party's affirmative recovery, Wang Yi immediately said: "Uncle, wait a minute, I'll ask my mother for money." ”

After speaking, he ran towards Zhao Xia's location.

Wang Yi said directly: "Mom, give me twenty yuan, I want to buy something." ”

Hearing that Wang Yi asked for twenty yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Xia was obviously stunned, and then asked, "Xiaoyi, what do you want so much money for?"

Zhao Xia had to be careful, now Wang Yi's father is only ten yuan a day on the construction site, this is still technical work to have such a price, as for those who work hard, it is not even as much. At this time, the salaries of civil servants were pitiful, but without the miscellaneous subsidies of later generations, they added up to dozens of yuan.

Twenty dollars is definitely not a small amount, it is more than half of the teacher's salary.

Wang Yi also found that what he said was a little sudden, and his way of thinking was still a little different from that of modern times, so he patiently explained: "Mom, I am going to use this money to buy ten yellow eel cages, one can go down to the yellow eel to improve the family's food, and the other can also sell the yellow eel to others to make money." ”

"Mom, think about it, twenty yuan can buy up to six catties of pork, but after I have a yellow eel cage, I can get yellow eels every day. It's a small amount, there is a yellow eel in a cage a day, ten are about a catty, and there are six catties of meat in six days. And twenty yuan ate six catties of pork and it was gone, but we have a yellow eel cage and we can eat one catty a day, and there are more than 50 days in this summer vacation, that is, more than 50 catties of meat, more than 50 catties of pork and 150 can't take it, and now only 20 yuan is enough. ”

Wang Yi's speech has a kind of flavor of pyramid schemes, but it is still very different from pyramid schemes, and with specific figures, it is even more convincing.

Zhao Xia was stunned for a moment, after Wang Yi said this, it really made sense, and finally nodded in admission, and then said with a heartache expression: "Xiaoyi, it's my mother who is sorry for you, I haven't let you eat meat for so long, but there is nothing I can do at home." ”

Wailing sighed, and finally gritted his teeth, "Isn't it twenty yuan, this yellow eel cage was bought." ”

took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, took out all the banknotes in it, the largest of which was only five yuan, and the rest were relatively scattered, and finally counted out twenty yuan and handed it to Wang Yi's hand.

Wang Yi knows that this small cloth bag has a special meaning, and it is also some of his mother Zhao Xia's small habits, usually all the money in the family will be hidden in it and then locked in the cabinet, usually it will not be brought out, at most take some money out of it when rushing to the market, and it can only be brought out to explain one point, then there is no money at home, and all the money is here.

Holding the scattered twenty yuan, Wang Yi's tears flowed unconsciously, at first he did know that it was very difficult at home, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Seeing that there were less than two gross tickets left in Zhao Xia's hand, she suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried.

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xia was confused by Wang Yi's sudden change, and hurriedly asked when she saw the other party's sudden crying.

"Mom, I'll make sure you have a good life. ”

In the previous life, because of his young age, he did not have mature thoughts, and he could not see the real side of some things through the surface, and he only knew the second and did not know the second.

You can only see the surface, but you can't know that the surface contains the strong maternal love.
