Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Pot of Gold

When it was noon, even if the brothers deliberately slowed down, people were still slowly scarce, after all, everyone had to cook and eat at noon, Ma Xiaodong looked unbusy, wiped the sweat on his face, touched the thick wad of banknotes in his pocket, and showed a happy smile on his face.

reborn, finally earned the first pot of gold, hiding in a shady place under the car bucket, Ma Xiaodong took out the banknotes and put them on the ground, and Ma Xiaodong's eyes lit up when he saw a small pile of change, ten, five, one, two, fifty and one hundred. After wasting his strength for a long time, he finally finished counting, two thousand three hundred and sixty-eight yuan.

In one morning, he earned more than 2,000 yuan, although the fish was caught in a week, but even if it was a week, more than 2,000 quick money, it would be a huge amount of money when a family like him came.

After counting the money, Ma Xiaodong got out from under the car body, and it happened that Ma Xiaoshan also sent away customers who bought fish one by one, watched his brother get out of there, and asked strangely: "What are you doing under that?"

Ma Xiaodong moved his sore neck that was nesting under the car, "Check the money." ā€

Ma Xiaoshan looked at his brother with a smile when he heard this, "What are you doing there to check the money?

Ma Xiaodong smiled and nodded, "Well, if the hooligans in the town see the evil intentions, won't our brothers be in danger?" There are indeed a lot of gangsters in the town, but these gangsters only know how to fight and do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and if they want them to rob, they probably don't have the guts.

Ma Xiaoshan didn't say anything, there is nothing wrong with being careful, for him, a man who has a family and has no small children, it is most important to be safe. Looking at Ma Xiaodong curiously, he asked, "How much did it cost?"

As soon as he talked about money, Ma Xiaodong couldn't help the smile on his face, and whispered beside his eldest brother with a little excitement: "More than two thousand three hundred!"

When Ma Xiaoshan heard this, he was so shocked that he almost threw away the scale in his hand, and looked at his brother with wide eyes, "There are really so many?

Now in their village, a family that has planted 20 acres of land will be able to leave 10,000 yuan a year, but this 10,000 yuan is the family's annual expenses in the future, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, clothing, food, housing, transportation, and human affection, and by next autumn, there will basically be nothing left.

And his brother, it took only a week to earn the harvest of the family's hard work for a few months, which is simply a complete subversion of Ma Xiaoshan's outlook on life, if it goes on like this, there is still more than a month before the snow freezes, isn't it easy to earn tens of thousands of dollars?

Looking at the eldest brother's stunned expression, Ma Xiaodong said with a smile: "That is, this time, the town is small, come back next week, it is estimated that the business will be much worse, I have to think of a way to see where else I can sell." ā€

Ma Xiaoshan listened and shook his head, "It's not close, there will be a week in between, there will definitely be repeat customers to buy, it's really not good, there are still several towns to the south, if it doesn't work, pull down the county seat, and sell as many as you want in this situation." ā€

Ma Xiaodong's eyes lit up when he heard his eldest brother's words, indeed, if he took it to the county seat to sell, it would be no problem to have as many fish, but he was a student, and he didn't have time to run to the county seat, and it would take more than 100 miles to go to the county seat, and if he drove a tractor, it would take more than two hours, and he might not be able to come back that day.

"Big brother, if we don't do it together, I won't be able to get it myself, as you can see, selling fish is much faster than farming. "If you go to the county seat to sell them, these fish will be a little less in a week, and you have to find a way to get more fish, Ma Xiaodong will definitely not be busy if he is alone. This is a good thing, and you can't forget your uncle's family. In his previous life, his eldest brother's family didn't have to pick on themselves, and in this life, I have to pull them up.

As soon as Ma Xiaoshan heard his brother's proposal, he was naturally moved, such a lucrative business, who is not tempted is a fool, but let him make money with his brother, a little embarrassed, after all, this is his brother's business, if he joins in, he feels a little bit like grabbing his brother's results. He hesitated for a moment and said: "This is about to be harvested, and I don't have time, you family of four, you can be busy." ā€

"What are you afraid of in the autumn harvest? I can tell you, if selling fish is so profitable, someone will definitely find out after a while, and when there are more people making fish, our business will not be good, so take advantage of this time, we must pay attention to it, you come to my house in the evening, and we will discuss it together." Ma Xiaodong knew that his eldest brother was embarrassed, so he didn't give him a chance to refute again.

Ma Xiaoshan finally nodded, thinking in his heart, when the time comes, he will have to work for his brother, "Okay, I'll go over in the evening and discuss it with my uncle and aunt." ā€

Seeing that the eldest brother agreed, Ma Xiaodong looked at the time, "I'll go buy some lunch, let's sell it for a while after eating, and then go home." ā€

"If you're hungry, buy bread, I'm not hungry, I'll eat it when I get home." "At this time, rural people who are willing to eat in a restaurant in the town, even if it is a boxed lunch of 4 yuan sold on the side of the road, they are reluctant to buy it, if they are really hungry, at most they can buy five cents of tofu brain to eat.

"Leave it alone, wait for me, and I'll be back in a moment. Leaving the stall, Ma Xiaodong walked around the street and found that there are no restaurants at all, at most there are some snack bars, stir-fried vegetables or something, but there is no packed lunch box, only plastic bags, which has no way to eat, but Ma Xiaodong can only buy two lunch boxes and ask for two more boxes of lunches.

At this time, the boxed lunch was still very delicious in Ma Xiaodong's memory, and he remembered that after he went to middle school, due to the poor food in the dormitory, he bought a boxed lunch every once in a while, which was considered to improve the food. Eating a boxed lunch is considered to improve the food, and it is a little sad to think about it now.

After buying the meal, back to the stall, Ma Xiaoshan complained for a while, "What kind of food to buy? It's very expensive, take a bite, how good it is to eat at home." ā€

Ma Xiaodong heard his eldest brother's complaint and quipped: "If I made so much money in the morning, and I didn't eat a box lunch, wouldn't you be panicking?"

", why should I panic when I work for my brothers? If we have a job in the future, you can still run?" Ma Xiaoshan got a box lunch, squatted on the ground and ate it.

After the two brothers finished eating, they continued to sell the fish, and it was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that they sold all the fish, packed up their things, and took the repaired car and went home.
