Chapter 52: Fish Sellers
Chapter 52 Selling Fish Partner
The reason why there are many fish is that it is difficult to catch, clothes are so expensive, and the price of woven products such as fishing nets can be imagined, and there must be boats. Many fishermen have accumulated their belongings over generations.
However, Su Oil's method of catching fish is very ingenious, the reed tube becomes soft after being blistered, and it is in a critical state of breaking, and the fish is crushed in the throat as soon as it is swallowed, and the bamboo card is stuck in the fish, which is very stable.
After receiving a few, Su You began to let the older children try, one tried to collect the fish, and the other tried to collect the line, and he guided softly on the side.
After collecting one, replace the next group and collect the other.
It was already dawn, and the two groups had finished harvesting the fish.
Holding the bamboo raft and paddling on the shore, the third child shook his arms: "Why are my hands so sore?" ”
Su You felt strange: "Mine too." ”
After parking the raft, several older children jumped into the water, ready to carry the fish basket to the shore.
Zhang Sanyi carried a fish basket: "My God! How many fish are there? I can't carry it. ”
Then several more children jumped down and shouted, "Let's come, let's come!" ”
Su You hurriedly stopped: "Don't don't, this fish basket is not strong, don't lift it and it will be a waste of hard work, go to two people, take the rope and bamboo chips, let's strengthen the bottom of the basket first." ”
After speaking, he said: "Don't worry, everyone, the fish are in the basket anyway, and it's the same in the morning and evening!" ”
Soon the rope and bamboo pieces were brought, Su You jumped into the water, padd the bamboo pieces underneath, and wrapped a few strands around each side of the fish basket with a rope and fixed them.
Four big fish baskets, Su You reinforced one, Zhang San and they carried one ashore, the big fish jumped in the basket, splashing their heads and faces with water.
All the children were alarmed, and even the tied iron sand group ran over: "My God! How did you get so many big fish?! The dragon lord has appeared? ”
Su You let the children see it, and after feeling the joy of the harvest, he said: "Third brother, tie the fish basket back to the bamboo raft, fourth brother, bring a few big wooden basins over, the people of the miscellaneous group help the little seventh brother make honeycomb coal, the fishery group goes back, the fish is stuck in the forest and pulled up, according to yesterday's method to reed the pipe, fill the bait, we will come back in the afternoon and put the fish card again, does the little sister dare to sit on the raft?" If you dare, we'll sell fish! ”
The little sister clapped her hands: "Sell fish!" We're going to sell fish! ”
The wharf was full of people, and it was the time for the merchants to come ashore to discuss business.
Zhang San, Liu Si, Su Xiaomei, and Su You, each had a big basin in front of them, and there was clear water in it, and there were several big fish swimming in each basin.
Fish are not unusual, children are not uncommon to make so many fish at once, and the people on the dock are all around and talking.
An eldest lady said, "You are the children of the Land Temple, right?" Poor thing, where did you get so many fish? ”
Su Xiaomei was very proud: "It was Brother Xiaoyou who took us to arrest it." ”
The eldest lady said, "Young Master Su, right? Where, where? Hurry up and show the eldest lady. ”
Su You was squatting to catch fish from the fish basket into the basin, so he had to stand up: "Boy Su You, I've seen my mother." ”
The eldest lady said to the other eldest lady next to her: "Look, this is the child I told you yesterday." The ones who can sit and talk with the little heavenly master, the beef with crossed feet, and the marinated water, are all recipes he made, which is really omnipotent. ”
Another lady looked up and down: "How old are you, child?" ”
Su You smiled: "It's almost six years old, auntie, this fish is newly hit, you see my body of water, it is for the fish to sweep, how fresh!" ”
The lady asked, "How do you sell this fish?" ”
Su You said: "It depends on what kind of catfish you buy, catfish, Qianyu, it is more expensive, we will calculate it according to sixty wen a catty; As for carp and grass carp, it is cheaper, forty-five wen a catty. ”
The lady said: "Actually, the price is fair, but the fish is my hard work, and it is not easy to make." ”
Su You uncovered a basin covered with gauze, half of which was golden sauerkraut and half pickled ginger, and said: "Auntie, if you want to buy our fish, we will give you two seasonings, a handful of sauerkraut and a piece of pickled ginger, which is guaranteed to be delicious. ”
When the eldest lady heard the word sauerkraut, she was just about to cover her nose, and she smelled a sour fragrance.
When I took the basin and smelled it, the sour flavor was even stronger, and I poked it with my finger: "Ah, how can the sauerkraut you make be so hard?" Our house is in ruins. ”
Su You said to the eldest lady: "You can tear a strip and taste it." ”
The lady next to her tore one and kneaded it in half, one was given to herself, and one was fed into the mouth of the lady holding the basin.
Then the two ladies glanced at each other and nodded to each other, crisp and sour, which was really good!
Su You smiled and pointed to the sky: "This is the method inside, back then, my ancestor Wei Gong begged for it from the Tang Palace, and it can completely remove the fishy, leaving only fat." Auntie, you don't have to be afraid to make fish at all. As long as the oil is a little thicker, and then use our sauerkraut to soak the ginger and chop the boiling pot, and boil the fish in the soup, your husband is full of praise! ”
The first lady said: "I believe this, I have never eaten such a crisp and sour sauerkraut!" Moreover, the food that Young Master Su rectifies should be a must in Meishan! Then let's have one each, and we want a catfish, but that's it! ”
Su You looked at the market, and there was an old man selling green onions, ginger, celery, and coriander, so he went over to salute him: "Uncle, most of the people who buy fish also want to buy these of yours, how about you sell them with us?" By the way, please help us to hold the scale. ”
The old man said with a smile: "The poor child has been in charge for a long time, and he has come out to make a living at such a young age, what a good baby." ”
The lady next to her smiled: "This is the young master of the Su family, and he has a group of homeless children in the Land Temple." ”
Su You said with a smile: "Actually, what my husband said is right, although my Su family is a Jiang Qing family, I can't stand the fact that there are fewer people and more people, on average, it may not be as good as the income of the two vegetable fields on the outskirts of the city, let alone the two eldest aunts." ”
The two ladies laughed so hard that their eyes were gone: "This little young master, you can really speak!" Then the two biggest! ”
This is the opening, two catfish of three or four catties, in the blink of an eye, it is more than half a penetration, and even the old man has fallen thirty onions and garlic money.
Then it was sold, Su Xiaomei was responsible for selling cuteness, Su You was responsible for pouring his mouth and sending sauerkraut and ginger, and Zhang San Liu Si was responsible for catching fish, and he was very busy.
There are also stingy picks to find more than a handful of sauerkraut, more to a piece of pickled ginger, Su oil does not care, anyway, the brine sour water has been cooked, in the future it is a matter of adding ingredients to the altar, simple can not be simpler.
There are a lot of merchants coming and going, many of them still have kitchens on the ship, they are not bad money, the fish is not important, the important thing is the golden yellow and sour sauerkraut and pickled ginger.
Seventy or eighty catties of fish, a basket and a basket were lifted up from under the bamboo raft, and they were sold for a total of four times, Su You kept the usual change, and the rest were exchanged for the transaction money by Zhang Zao, the head of the business team who came over.
In the end, only a few were deliberately left.
Mother Li hadn't come to the Su You Righteous Shed yet, wondering if she had occupied the breakfast market at the wharf.
Nowadays people generally eat two meals, lunch, which does not exist.
I left a few grass carp for my friends, ready to let everyone taste the taste of sauerkraut fish, and the remaining few, Su You is ready to let Zhang Zao send it to Jiang Qing's family.
While putting hemp rope on the fish's mouth, Su You asked Su Xiaomei to give the old man who sold vegetables fifty yuan, and said, "Thank you for giving us the scales, we sold it so fast." These fifty wen is considered soup money, and the old man sells half a corner of wine to eliminate his fatigue. ”
The old man was very happy: "Today, thanks to your blessing, my burden is also sold quickly, and the remaining coriander and celery will be left to you, and the children can also eat a good fish." Will you come back tomorrow? ”
Su You said: "I should come in the future, but I'm afraid there aren't so many fish." ”
The old man smiled: "There are so many every day, I'm afraid it's not the reincarnation of the Dragon King." ”
While the two were talking, a thin man who looked like a master walked over, and when he saw the few remaining fish from Su You, his eyes lit up: "Child, how do you sell this fish?" ”
