The three brothers and sisters packed up their mood and happily went on the road again. When I arrived at the herringbone intersection last time, Zhou Wanwan looked at the watch in the space, it was only half past one in the afternoon, and there was still a lot of time before three o'clock in the afternoon that I made an appointment with the truck driver last time.

Zhou Chen took out a grass nest that had been prepared earlier, caught four big fish and put them in, and caught a rabbit and put them together, which was ready to be sold to others to test the price. The other fish and rabbits were placed on a flatbed, pushed a little further away, and covered with a straw curtain.

With the experience of selling fish last time, Zhou Chen skillfully waved a big fish in his hand at the passing truck, and fortunately, the first truck passing by stopped.

A middle-aged man wearing a blue labor cloth overalls stained with engine oil got out of the car, and he was the same as the truck driver last time, and he got out of the car and ran directly to the fish, "Child, are you selling this fish?" After receiving Zhou Chen's affirmative reply, he hurriedly asked, "How many do you have?" How to sell? ”

Zhou Chen took him to see the four big fish jumping in the grass nest and asked him to bid first. "Each fish I have here is more than two catties, which is enough to make a feast dish, how much do you give a catty?"

"Yo! You're a kid who knows a lot about the market, isn't it the first time you've sold fish? The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Chen and smiled, people of this age should have their own children, it is estimated that the driver's child is about the same age as Zhou Chen, seeing him doing business so shrewdly and skillfully, he immediately liked it, "I'll tell you the truth, fish as big as you are rare in our Xinghua area, and it is a hot commodity in the city, and some people rush to buy it at the same price as pork." But it's not in the city! How about giving you five cents a pound? Zhou Wanwan remembered that a few days ago I went to the township food station, and it was written that pork was seven cents and sixty-one pounds, and in this era, the supply of materials was unified, and the price was almost uniform across the country, and it remained unchanged for ten or eight years.

Of course, this driver said that there is a price for meat tickets and fish tickets. A fish as large as this can be sold for several times the price of a cheap fish on the black market.

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't speak, the middle-aged driver was a little anxious, "I really didn't fool you, I've been running on this road for seven or eight years, and I haven't bought less things, it's absolutely fair to give you this price, you can't sell it at a higher price than this." ”

"Uncle, we still have a rabbit, do you want it?" Zhou Chen didn't answer the words of selling fish, and asked about rabbits. Zhou Wanwan admired in her heart, her second brother's learning ability is really strong, and he will quickly learn to draw inferences and bundle sales.

The middle-aged driver picked up the big rabbit and looked at it, "This rabbit is really fat!" Where did you get that? No wonder he asked, at this time, how can you still see the shadow of rabbits in the field, it is estimated that they are about to be extinct. As for the domestic, it is even more impossible, not to mention that the hunger of the past three years has made no one able to keep rabbits, even now, everyone is barely in a state of starvation, how can there be something for a rabbit to eat, let alone raise it so fat

"Caught in the mountains." Zhou Chen said a word, and then asked about the rabbit, "Uncle, look at it, can you want this rabbit?" ”

"Yes! It's rare to see such a fat rabbit! The middle-aged driver happily agreed, "Now the state only collects three or four cents a pound of pigs, how about I give you four cents for this rabbit?" ”

Zhou Chen looked back at Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang nodded.

"Okay, then you can take it all." Zhou Chen happily agreed.

The middle-aged driver immediately went back to the car to get the scale, and took the basin for fish, it seems that he is always on the road to buy things, and he has already prepared.

"If you have anything to sell in the future, just block me on the road, and I promise to give you a fair price!" The middle-aged driver didn't need Zhou Chen to ask, so he took the initiative to talk about doing business for a long time in the future. "See my license plate number? Remember, I passed by Poplar Ditch at this point in the week, and I arrived here at about nine o'clock in the morning. Remember. ”

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded, "Remember, what I want to sell in the future will be waiting for my uncle here." ”

The last weigh, five fish, thirteen catties and three taels, six yuan, six cents and five cents; The rabbit is six and a half pounds, two dollars and six cents, a total of nine dollars, two cents and five cents. The middle-aged driver counted the money to them without a penny, don't look at the fraction of five cents, it is very important for children, a penny can buy the most ordinary candy bar, five cents is five pieces of sugar.

Politely sending off the middle-aged truck driver, the three brothers and sisters counted the money and happily went to a shady place behind the road guard to rest.

They had just asked the time, and it was only 1:50, and it was still more than an hour before the driver said 3 o'clock last time, so they could rest and wait on the side of the road.

Zhou Chen thought about it and took out the money again, this time they collected a five-yuan bill, four one-dollar bills, a two-cent bill, and five one-dollar bills. He put the money in front of Zhou Wanwan and began to teach her to recognize money, yuan, jiao, cents, denominations, and conversion, and taught her very carefully and carefully. Zhou Wanwan studied very seriously, trying to make the two brothers believe that she was a child who could recognize money and spend money from now on.

Soon, Zhou Wanwan learned all the knowledge taught by Zhou Chen, whether it was to know the denomination or to convert, he did it right, and he got the unreserved joy and praise of the two elder brothers, Zhou Wanwan felt that he was really successful as a pseudo-child.

"I haven't seen a rabbit before, how did I know it was a rabbit today?" Zhou Wanwan was very happy and sad. How should she explain this to her second brother?

"Isn't this a rabbit?" Zhou Wanwan decided to be an unreasonable and messy child.

"It's a rabbit." Zhou Chen nodded.

"Then it's a rabbit!" Zhou Wanwan opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhou Chen innocently.

"But you've never seen a rabbit before, so how do you know it's a rabbit?" Zhou Chen still didn't understand.

"It's supposed to be a rabbit."

"How do you know it's a rabbit?"

"Isn't it a rabbit?"

"It's a rabbit."

……

It was Zhou Chen's turn to be tragic, and Zhou Chen, who was wound out of a mosquito coil line by Zhou Wanwan, was finally completely confused.

Zhou Yang was also confused by the side, but he had never thought as much as Zhou Chen, and he was also very good at simplifying things, "I heard what others said, and then I remembered it, right?" What did Zhao Xiaosan'er tell you? His family had several rabbits a few years ago. ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded along with the reason her eldest brother had given her. It seems that it's better to be a simple person, if you don't want to do so much, you won't have so many worries.

The three brothers and sisters didn't have a watch, and they didn't know when the truck driver from last time would come, so they sat in the shade for a while and were ready to go to the side of the road to wait.

Zhou Yang looked at the scorching sun at noon, and then looked at the white road that the shadows of the trees could not cover at all, and the dust raised by passing vehicles, and resolutely asked his younger brother and sister to stay here, and he went to wait on the side of the road.

Zhou Yang has always been a very easy-going person, but when he really insists on something, there is basically no room for turnaround, so in the end, Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan were left in the shade to enjoy the shade, and Zhou Yang went to the side of the road alone.
