Chapter 53: Rush to buy

"Slow down on the road!"

"Go early and return early......"

In the early morning, when the thin morning fog had not yet dissipated, and the whole village was still hazy with some sleepy eyes, at the head of Qingque Village, Han Cheng and Uncle Liu brought more than 600 catties of salted fish that they had made in five days.

The people who came to see them off raised their voices and explained there, a little relieved.

"Got it!"

Han Cheng and the others answered, left the village, and walked along the dirt road towards the county seat of Mayi.

Along the way, everyone laughed and laughed, because through the last sale, they already knew what kind of value they could sell for these salted fish.

Thinking in my heart, after this batch of salted fish is sold, how much income can the family have, the more I think about it, the more happy I become, the more I think about it, the more energetic I feel, and I feel that life is delicious and hopeful.

Between everyone's laughter, the people of Qingque Village, who were walking briskly, were getting closer and closer to the county seat of Mayi......

At this time, in the market specially opened up by Mayi County, where Han Cheng sold salted fish last time, a large number of people gathered.

"It's the fifth day, why haven't the salted fish sellers come yet?"

"That's it! It is! If I don't come again, I can really only go to the salt shop to buy salt, and the family has been out of salt for some time, and I don't have the strength to walk these days......"

"Zhang Laoba, is the news you heard before really not wrong? Is there really anyone selling salted fish here? ”

Where the crowd gathered, there was a lot of noise, and everyone met and talked, waiting for the salted fish seller to appear, with anxiety.

"What's going on? How do you get so many people here? ”

Two horsemen came from elsewhere, followed by three or four men who seemed to be servants and guards.

After seeing the situation here, one of the people on the horse grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped, and after looking at it from a distance for a while, he asked.

The person who spoke was a woman, not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Riding on a horse, she lacks the gentleness and smallness of Jiangnan women, but she has the sassiness that Jiangnan women have never had, and when she speaks, even her voice has a kind of crispness.

"Cousin, wait a minute, I'll ask."

Without waiting for the followers to follow, another young man on the horse opened his mouth, tapped his horse's belly, shook the reins slightly, and rode his horse at a trotting toward the place where the crowd had gathered.

The Congren, who had just moved his steps, stopped when he saw this, and the woman did not say a word, looking at the distance without changing her expression.

"Haha, cousin, this is really a strange thing, why do you want these people to gather here?"

The young man, who had finished inquiring about the matter, turned the horse's head and ran back with the horse's hooves rattling.

Before the person reached the woman, he had already opened his mouth with a smile, with a deliberately exaggerated surprise in his voice, looking at the mystery on the woman's face, waiting for the woman to ask.

It's a pity that after waiting like this for a while, the woman never spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After scolding a few words in his heart, the young man stopped selling Guanzi, and the smile on his face was a little better, and he said, "They are all waiting to buy salted fish!" There is a shortage of salt at home, but instead of buying salt, they are waiting here to buy salted fish, and it is the kind that costs fifty dollars a catty, do you say it is unusual? ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the woman to speak, he laughed first, as if he had discovered something ridiculous.

After hearing the young man say the price of fifty yuan a catty, the woman's eyes flickered a few times, with doubt.

She is not the kind of person who grew up in a deep mansion compound and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and she knows many things.

She didn't know what the price of salted fish was before, but she didn't need to ask to know that it would definitely not reach the current price.

It's just that the price of this salted fish is so high, why are there so many people waiting here to buy salted fish?

She looked at the crowd together, full of thought.

The young man, who wanted to attract the attention of a woman with this funny thing and his very infectious laughter, laughed to himself for a while, and seeing that the woman's attention was not on his side at all, he forced a laugh twice, and put away the laughter very boringly.

"The salted fish seller is here! The salted fish seller is here! ”

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly, and the crowd gathered here immediately began to move, and followed the people in front of them, and ran towards the ox cart that was coming, for fear that they would not be able to buy salted fish if they were too late.

"I'll go!"

Seeing the scene in front of him that was more spectacular than the scene of the uncles and aunts in later generations running after hearing the supermarket discount, Han Cheng couldn't help but burst out foul language.

It seems that this rush to buy has existed since ancient times!

At this moment, looking at the crowd rushing to buy salted fish, Uncle Liu and other villagers of Qingque Village are all smiling, these are all here to send money!

Han Cheng couldn't laugh at all, at this moment, his only thought was to run away without looking back!

He just wants to sell some salted fish to make a small fortune and run this small family well, and he doesn't want to provoke the rest of the things.

It's just that at this moment, it seems that this idea is likely to be unrealized.

The devil knows what this county has been through in the past few days, how can these people have such great enthusiasm!

Under such a big movement, I am afraid that I and others will not be able to attract the attention of those who run salt shops!

However, Han Cheng's idea of wanting to slip away was no longer realized, because at this time, the crowd that was running at a speed of 100 meters had already arrived, and in the blink of an eye, they had already surrounded the ox cart and Han Cheng and those who sold salted fish.

"I want three pounds!"

"Weigh me four pounds!"

Everyone opened their mouths one after another, scrambling to send the money, food, cloth and other things they carried with them to Han Cheng and them, and some people even stretched out their hands to the salted fish in the car, Uncle Liu couldn't stop them, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control.

Han Cheng took out the long knife for self-defense, raised it vigorously to a high place, and after letting more people see it, he slammed it into the car, and his aura was very full.

Then he stretched out his hand and pushed Luo Dawa, who was standing there: "Dawa, you shout!" ”

Han Cheng meant that Luo Dawa's voice was loud, and at this time, with the aura that he pulled out a knife of dozens of centimeters and inserted it fiercely, let Luo Dawa make a sound to deter these people, otherwise this messy scene, the salted fish will be snatched away! In any case, it has come to this point, and we have to sell these salted fish first.

At the critical moment, Luo Shixin was never ambiguous, and after receiving Han Cheng's signal, he nodded vigorously, then glared at everyone, opened his mouth and roared: "Sell salted fish!" No salt, no money! ”

Han Chengyi, who was holding the handle of the knife stuck in the car gang and waiting for his future brother-in-law to speak out and scold everyone, almost fell.

What are you shouting, you are!
