Chapter 15: Selling Fish

Mu Sheng said helplessly: "There are traders in this market to collect fish, it is easier to go to Jingzhou City, but it can only be sold one by one, so consumed, the fish will not be fresh, and it will not be sold at that time, and the price will be lower." ”

I looked at my own fish, and now that it has been made into salted fish, it must not be sold at a high price, and it is no wonder that the villagers let us come to the market to sell to the fish collectors.

Mu Sheng's gaze fell on the cart behind his husband.

"yes." The husband looked back at our salted fish, "I'm afraid I can't sell it for a price." ”

"yes." Mu Sheng sighed, "Third brother, this fish is not fresh, this spring is the time when the fish is fresh and the meat is delicious, who will eat your fish, you can't catch fish in winter and some pictures will buy it." ”

Saying this, the husband's brows furrowed slightly, no wonder the husband looks like this, we don't have much silver, if we can't sell it again, won't it be in vain?

Mu Sheng was a simple and enthusiastic man after all, he moved half of the stall and said: "Third brother, you are late, there is no place for this market, let's squeeze here." ”

Thanks to Mu Sheng's help, we have a place to settle in the market, and we didn't know anything when we first came to sell fish, but fortunately Mu Sheng told us.

With this statement, we know that this fisherman is not so easy to be.

Don't look at a fish worth more than ten yuan, but that is the price of the hawker, even if we have a car full of fresh fish, it is only 200 yuan, and if you want to fill a car full of fish in the spring, it is easy to take more than a day, so it will take two days, to come to this market early in the morning of the third day, so that it is two hundred coppers in the peak season.

There are two taels of silver a month, which sounds good, but Mu Sheng said that fishing is hard work, and it also depends on the sky, on the one hand, it is impossible not to rest, on the other hand, it is natural that you can't go fishing even if it rains on a cloudy day.

After hearing these words, I took my hands and calculated, even if I took half a month off, I still had one or two silver, which was much lighter than farming, and it was still good.

However, this is not the case, it turns out that spring, summer and autumn are the most fish time, but it always rains from time to time in summer, and it is not easy to walk from the village to the market, if it rains, it will drag on for a few days when you go to the market, when the fish are not fresh, the price can be less than half, and then in winter, where there is fishing, all at home cats in winter.

I pulled my hand and calculated, in this way, for me and my husband, the silver is also okay, but others must be a little stretched, which family does not have an old man and child, life must be no problem, but if you want to have some spare money, it will be difficult, if you meet another illness, disaster, it will be miserable.

"What's it?"

My husband patted me on the head and brought me back to reality.

"It's good that there are only two of us, and it's enough!" I laughed.

"How do you sell this fish?"

A man wearing a long-sleeved robe who looked very energetic walked up and asked, pointing to the wood-raw fish.

Mu Sheng got up busily and smiled at the man: "The master knows the goods, is it all packaged?" ”

The man put up a shelf, stroked his little goatee with his hand, and said with a playful smile: "It depends on the price you give." ”

"Two hundred and thirty." Musheng Road.

As soon as he heard the price, the man's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly stopped talking, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng hurriedly chased out from the stall, tugged at the man's shirt and said, "The master doesn't look at my fish, but it's all fresh." ”

The man glared at Mu Sheng's hand, and Mu Sheng immediately put down his hand: "Master, go back and take a look first, my price, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

"I'm not the one who looks at the price, the main thing is that the fish should be good and fresh!"

Although the man said this, he still followed, and asked Mu Sheng to pick up the fish, he looked at it, and then nodded: "Not bad." ”

"That?" Mu Sheng asked cautiously, "I'll put it on you?" ”

"Wait!"

The man stroked his goatee and asked, "How much?" ”

Mu Sheng thought for a while and smiled: "Seeing that the master is sincerely buying, I am also sincerely selling ......"

"Nonsense!" The man interrupted impatiently, "Why else I'm here to smell this fishy smell?" Say it! ”

"Two hundred wen!" Musheng Road.

The man's eyelids didn't raise: "One hundred and fifty Wen, love to sell or not, this is someone to sell!" ”

When I looked at Mu Sheng's embarrassed appearance, I knew that this price was too ruthless.

"It's not costly to fish in the lake or in the sea, these are good!" The man said coldly, looking around from time to time, looking a little impatient.

In the end, Mu Sheng still sold the fish, and the man looked like a gift, and put the copper in Mu Sheng's hand, I really couldn't see it on the side, but I couldn't say anything in the end.

After the man left, I learned from Mu Sheng that this fish seller can sometimes meet those shopkeepers who don't bargain much, and they can sell dozens of coppers more, and if they meet today's this, they can only sell dozens of coppers less, after all, the sooner this fish is sold, the better, and there will be no one in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, it's spring, and if it's summer, it won't be long before the flies "buzz" around the fish.

It's not easy to do anything, it's too simple for me to think.

Mu Sheng was not in a hurry to leave, and said: "Third brother, your fish must not be sold for a price, you want to try it for seventy yuan, but it can't be less than fifty yuan, otherwise you will work hard in vain, and it is better to eat it at home." ”

"Too little!" I frowned, "There is also the salt we bought on this fish, and these are also the capital." ”

Mu Sheng waved his hand: "No matter which one!" ”

The husband smiled and said, "Second brother, I know how to do it." ”

As soon as Mu Sheng heard what his husband said, he was also relieved, and he confessed everything he could, and said goodbye to me and my husband.

As time passed, I was also a little anxious, watching the nearby fish vendors leave one by one, and the market slowly vacated a lot of stalls.

Although there are a few vendors selling fish on the other side, their fish is still very fresh, so they should not worry.

was depressed, but my husband's smiling face greeted him, and as soon as his eyes narrowed, I knew that he had another ghostly idea.

Sure enough, he asked me to set up another stall not far away, and I looked at his bad appearance and said, "It's always right to listen to your husband!" ”

Under the instructions of my husband, I was "forced" to "separate" from him, and I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at my husband's still high-spirited appearance from afar.

After the separation, sure enough, some guests began to come, and I honestly followed my husband's statement: "These fish are 100 yuan, and they can't be less than a copper, so I don't feel like a bargain!" ”

I looked at the dozen or so fish in front of me, and I felt a little weak, and fresh fish couldn't be sold at this price.

Looking at where my husband was counting the copper, I immediately understood my husband's careful thinking, the same fish, he sold it cheaper, naturally some people went over, and those who didn't know thought they had made a bargain.

At this moment, the husband shouted: "Lady! ”

He was waving at me and laughing, "Bring the fish from your stall too!" ”

When I brought a dozen fish to my husband, the smile on the middle-aged man standing in front of him froze a little, this is the guest who just asked for a price from me.

He instantly understood what was going on, but he was already on the "thief ship", and it was too late to look at his husband's already bulging money bag.

smiled: "It's really possible." ”

The husband arched his hand and said: "It's just a normal price, because it's salted fish, so it's cheaper, as for coming up with this method, I'm afraid that the price is too low, and we still have to support our families, right?" ”

The man didn't seem to expect his husband to be so honest, so he smiled: "It's not easy." ”

At this time, I was carrying more than a dozen fish in my hand, and my husband took it and whispered to me: "Damn, how can you let the lady do such tiring work." ”

It sounded sweet, but at the same time, I "booed" him: "Someone!" ”

My husband narrowed his eyes at me and said with a smile: "Obey the lady!" ”

When these fish were sold, it was also afternoon, and during this period, Uncle Xu was not a shadow, and I was a little anxious, so I asked: "Husband, I don't know where Uncle has gone, how to find it?" ”

The husband laughed teasingly: "The lady went to the market and asked, to see if anyone saw a ghost floating around, and if he saw it, he asked him to come to us." ”

I widened my eyes: "In this way, others will think that your lady has a problem with her head." ”

"Don't worry, it's just right to lose him anyway, let's live our two-person world!"

The husband said with a grin, pushed the cart, and said to me in a chic manner: "Go!" ”

"Yikes!" Uncle Xu's heartbroken voice came from his ears.

As soon as I looked up, I don't know when, he was already in front of our eyes, constantly burping, his stomach was bulging, and he looked like he was "eating" the delicious food in the world.

Uncle Xu came to my side and said, "Xiao Qiu'er, it's a pity that you just go home like this, it's better to go around this market for a week, and then go to various restaurants." ”

It turned out that Uncle Xu was not idle just now, and he smelled it all the way, but the aroma was fragrant, and he looked like he was still unsatisfied, and took my hand: "Let's go, Uncle Xu will take you to eat something delicious." ”

But it was in vain for Uncle Xu's good intentions.

At this time, my husband's hand was holding my other hand, and there was already a little anger in his eyes, and he knocked down Uncle Xu's hand: "My lady's hand, only I can touch it!" ”

"You're so careful, you're still scheming with ghosts!" Uncle Xu knew that his husband was not good at talking, and he was a little unconfident, but one hand still pushed my arm and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

deliberately said it to her husband, and suddenly raised her voice: "Just the two of us!" ”

The husband smiled and said, "Go, you take my wife to smell it too?" That's not going to kill her! ”
