Despite her father's assurance, Qinglian was still worried about the fish all night. Before dawn, he put on his padded jacket and ran to the house where his father slept, and opened the water tank to check.

Dad's voice sounded from the bed: "None of the fish are dead, they are all alive, I have checked several times a night." ”

No, the fish were swimming happily in the warm tank.

Qinglian couldn't help but feel compassion when she looked at them, and said helplessly to those fish: "I'm sorry, I really need money to buy sneakers for my sister, otherwise I will raise you." ”

He Hongshan didn't sleep anymore, so he just got up early to cook and eat and go to the market to sell fish.

The weather was bitterly cold, and he was afraid that the fish would freeze to death on the road, so He Hongshan decided to use a rack car to pull the water tank to catch up with the market, so that it could not be sold in a market, and it would not die if it was pulled back, and it could be sold in other markets.

He set up the ox cart, carried the water tank with his daughter to the cart, and the father and daughter went to the market to sell fish.

They put a tank of fish in the market and called it for it loudly.

He Hongshan's voice was bright and loud: "Hey, carp, grass carp, fresh fish, lively fish, everyone come to see it...... It doesn't matter if you buy it or not, and you don't need money to see it......"

There are no farmed fish in later generations, and there is generally no fish to sell in the market in winter, and some fish are also sold. As soon as they heard someone shouting to sell live fish, they all gathered around curiously.

He Hongshan picked up a big grass carp that was jumping around, and held it high to sell it to the crowd: "Everyone, look at it, it's alive, live fish is a rare thing in winter, and the price is 5 cents a catty......

After all, in this era, they are all poor, and the lively ones buy more and buy less, so waves of people are greedy to leave, and only a few people can't resist the temptation to buy a few back.

Qinglian was a little anxious, and her father smiled and comforted her: "It's not sold for a few pieces, and it's also sold for a few yuan, don't worry, it's still early, the market has just been mastered, and some of them haven't shopped enough when they just came, so they bought it when they went home." ”

Dad's words are good, more than an hour later, more people buy fish, Dad catches fish and weighs two catties, Qinglian collects money to find money, and is actually busy for a while.

By noon, all the people who were going to buy fish had bought them home, and no one came to buy fish anymore. She squatted behind the fish tank again and counted the money, almost jumped up, and actually sold it for 18 yuan.

Well, there's enough money to sell sneakers. Hahaha.

She excitedly patted her father's shoulder and said, "Dad, we won't sell this fish anymore, take it home and share it with my uncle's family and eat it." ”

He Hongshan was happy to see that he had sold so much money, so he readily agreed, bent down and cleaned up the stall and went home.

"Daddy, wait!" Qinglian suddenly pulled her father and screamed.

She smelled the spicy soup and the smell of the hanging oven baked cakes.

The two sat in front of the stall selling spicy soup. He Hongshan boldly shouted to the old man who sold Hu spicy soup: "Brother, come to two bowls of Hu spicy soup!" ”

He shouted to the middle-aged man who was selling baked cakes next to him: "Brother, here are four baked cakes, and you want to bake them a little older!" ”

The spicy soup in this era is really delicious, and the gluten in it is all hand-pulled, smooth and chewy.

The bottom of the soup is finely cut, the bowl noodles are covered with a layer of coriander foam, and a few drops of sesame oil are placed, the coriander flavor is also fresh, the sesame oil is also mellow, and the pepper flavor inside is also authentic.

The two of them snorted and drank spicy soup, and clicked and chewed the baked cakes. Qinglian has a bite of soup and a bite of baked cakes, the baked cakes are older, the side with sesame seeds is crispy and burnt, eat it while it is hot, fragrant and fragrant.

She drank a bowl of spicy soup in one go, ate a baked cake, and quickly had a gap in her stomach, so she asked for another bowl of spicy soup, added a lot of pepper, and spicy and stuck out her tongue to eat ha.

He Hongshan ate quickly, and had already drunk a bowl of spicy soup and eaten two baked cakes, in fact, he was not full, but he said that he had such a big belly, how much did he get to eat. At a glance, I saw that the girl was eating so fragrant, and I watched happily on the side, smiling with a broken face.

Suddenly, a man in a greasy blue blouse looked at them and asked, "Are you selling fish?" ”

Qinglian didn't know what to do, so she said yes. The man's face suddenly became happy, and he asked anxiously, "Is there still any fish?" ”

He Hongshan just wanted to say that it was gone, but Qinglian intercepted his words and said, "Yes, uncle, how many do you want?" ”

The man asked, "How many more do you have, I want them all?" ”

"There are more than a dozen! Do you want it? Qinglian was a little surprised by his generosity.

The man laughed and said, "If you want to get it, you have to get it, I open a restaurant, I can finish as many as you want, I can't finish it in one day, and then sell it the next day." ”

"Oh, it turns out that you run a hotel, that's great, where is your hotel, we'll send it to you." Qinglian said enthusiastically.

The man said happily, "Okay, well, my hotel is at the head of the market, and I am the only one in the township who runs a restaurant, let's go, I will lead you." ”

He Hongshan drove the ox cart, Qinglian sat on the cart and held the water tank, and slowly walked through the flow of people and followed the man.

He Hongshan turned his head and complained to his daughter: "Nier, didn't you say that you wouldn't sell it and go home to share the food with your uncle's family, why did you sell it again?" ”

Qinglian blames her father for being brainless, why don't you sell it if you have money to make. Besides, she felt that it would be too ostentatious to go home and share the dozen or so fish between the two families so generously. In recent years, there is no meat in every house, and when you stew fish, don't all the people in the village smell it? When the time comes, I will ask you where the fish came from, the villagers, to say or not to say?

Even if you don't tell it, the secret of your ice and fish will be revealed. Because they will secretly observe your every move, and when you go to steal fish at night, it is inevitable that people will not be noticed, so it is better to keep a low profile.

He Hongshan listened to his daughter's words, and wanted to knock on his head, feeling that his brain was simply an elm pimple, but he didn't expect it. and secretly praised the girl for being smart and thoughtful.

It's strange why I didn't find my girl so dexterous before.

This restaurant called "Jinxin Hotel" is indeed the first in the township, I heard that this boss is the younger brother of a leader in the township, the township leader has invited guests or received foreign leaders to eat here, plus he is a restaurant, so the business is very prosperous.

The boss also heard that there was a live fish seller in this market, so he came to look for it if he was suspicious, and found that the person was gone, so he inquired and found the father and daughter who drank spicy soup and ate baked cakes.

"You two said what the price of this fish is?" The boss asked, looking at the fish that were jumping around.

Qinglian preemptively said: "Uncle, we are all real people, the 5 cents a pound that we sold on the market just now is still 5 cents a pound to you." ”

The man's eyes did not leave the fish, and he said happily: "Okay, then please trouble the eldest brother to catch the fish into my big basin, I have booked two tables of guests here in the evening, these live fish are going to give me a long face hahaha." ”
