"Hehe, I'm thinking about selling fish." Duran smiled embarrassedly, he should have sensed his thoughts.

"Then don't get up quickly, there will be no place to go to the vegetable market when it's late."

"Okay." She rolled over and got out of bed and put on her coat.

When he came to the courtyard, Grandpa Gu had already placed the trolley at the door of the room, "I told your aunt that I will use the cart today." ”

"It's still Grandpa's thoughtfulness." Duran said happily.

Old Man Gu smiled with a smile on his face: "Knowing that you are going to enter the city, grandpa specially left two nests for you, and only when you are full will you have the strength to sell fish." ”

"Huh? Didn't Grandpa eat it? You're old, how can you skip breakfast? Gu Youan looked concerned.

"It's just a meal, grandpa drinks some soup, and it's time for lunch in a while." Old Man Gu smiled and was relieved.

"Grandpa......" Knowing that he loved Sun very much, Duran couldn't persuade anything, and after a moment of silence, she smiled happily: "Wait for me to come back and bring good food for grandpa." ”

"Good, good, good, if you are willing to be filial to grandpa, grandpa will be satisfied." Old Man Gu smiled with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will definitely honor my grandfather."

"That's a must." Duran echoed with a smile.

Old Man Gu looked at Du Lan, then at Gu Youan, and said excitedly: "My good grandson and good granddaughter-in-law, you are sensible, and the children in the future will definitely be more sensible." ”

"Grandpa......" Gu Youan called unnaturally.

And Duran was also embarrassed: "That, I'll go and heat the sweet and sour fish again." ”

After breakfast, Duran put the sweet and sour fish into a large basket woven of rattan one by one, and then asked Grandpa Gu to find a clean white cloth to cover it, said goodbye to Old Man Gu, and they pushed the cart and set off.

The sun rises in the east, the morning light is shining, and Duran helps Gu Youan push the cart while enjoying the roadside scenery.

Entering the city gate, Duran was even more excited, and looked around with big black eyes.

They went straight to the vegetable market, which was bustling with stalls on both sides of the street, and the vegetable farmers kept shouting and selling.

"Let's find a break and move the basket down." Duran said to Gu You'an.

"Okay."

Glancing at the vegetable market, the crowded places were occupied by others, and they could only be placed on a street corner. Although there are not many people on the street corner, it is the only way to pass through the vegetable market, and there is a restaurant next to it, the area is spacious and the environment is clean.

Compared to the noisy and noisy vegetable market, this location is quite good.

After setting up the basket, Duran glanced at Gu Youan, only to see that he was panting, it seemed that this selling work could only be covered by her.

There were people coming and going in front of the stall, she cleared her throat, took out the courage to shout slogans when practicing taekwondo, and shouted: "Sell sweet and sour fish, delicious sweet and sour fish, everyone come and take a look!" ”

Gu Youan stood beside her, startled by her sudden loudness.

Not to mention, her howling voice is really a fight with a street performer, just a gong and drum beating.

Some of the women, who had already finished shopping for groceries and were about to go back, heard the shouting and approached curiously.

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word.

"What's sweet and sour fish?"

"Why is it so red, can you eat it?"

"Look at the weird spicy, forget it."

Facing the women who came around, Du Lan hurriedly shouted: "Aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law, I am sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour, you will definitely like this taste when you buy it and taste it once." ”

Hearing this, the woman who was about to leave immediately stopped, "Hey, it's sweet and sour?" If you haven't eaten sweet and sour grilled fish yet, it won't taste strange, right?

The others were also curious and stopped one after another.

"yes, girl, it doesn't smell weird, does it?" The woman in the blue shirt on the side looked at Duran suspiciously, although she was dressed as a man, her voice was a woman.

"Sister-in-law, you can taste it, it's very delicious." Duran greeted warmly.

"How do you sell this?" The woman in the blue shirt stared straight at the sweet and sour fish, and her mouth was so caught by the sweet and sour aroma that she couldn't help but drool.

Seeing that this sister-in-law was moved, Du Lan suppressed his excitement, "The big one is ten cents, and the small one is five cents." ”

"Ten pieces of paper? Too expensive, right? I only paid three cents for a live fish. As soon as she heard the price, the sister-in-law immediately shook her head and quit.

"The price of roast chicken is not the same as that of live chicken, and the price of cooked fish and raw fish is also the same. Besides, this is sweet and sour fish, which is better than the steamed fish, boiled fish, braised fish or something in the restaurant, not only the taste is better, but the price is also fairer. ”

In order to have a good opening, Duran brushed up everything she could think of, especially when she compared her sweet and sour fish with that in a restaurant, and directly raised her fish to a higher level, which is not a stall.

"This fish is red, who knows if it's delicious or not, if it's hard enough to choke, isn't my money spent in vain." This sister-in-law said so, but her eyes never left the sweet and sour fish.

Duran secretly observed her expression, her sweet and sour fish was bright in color and sweet and sour in smell, she had absolute confidence in this appearance.

"Then I have to taste it, it's not what you shout, let's believe it, the big guy said, right?"

As soon as she said this, the crowd around her, "yes, you have to taste it." ”

"This ......" she didn't prepare chopsticks, so how could the diners taste it, and glanced at the stall next to her, there was a tofu seller.

immediately said to Gu Youan: "You go and borrow that big brother's knife to use." ”

Gu Youan walked over and said a few words, and quickly brought the knife over.

Duran cut a piece of fish and asked the sister-in-law to taste it with her hands, and after the sister-in-law tasted it, her eyes lit up.

"Strange, this smells ...... It's so special, sweet and sour, very refreshing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd around asked Duran to taste them, and Duran smiled and cut them one by one.

Soon, people came around, and they had never heard of sweet and sour fish, and out of novelty, everyone came to taste it, and those who had tasted it had the urge to buy it.

It's just that hesitant because of the price.

The woman in the blue shirt began to bargain: "Girl, you give it cheaper, the price is fair, and the transaction will naturally not be worried." ”

"Sister-in-law, the selling price of my sweet and sour fish is already very low, you can go to the restaurant and order a fish, let alone dozens of dollars." As he spoke, Duran bumped into Gu Youan quietly.

Gu Youan immediately understood, and echoed: "Yes, sister-in-law, my mother's process of making this fish is complicated, otherwise it won't be able to come out with this taste." ”

This was to the point, and Duran couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

"But you're not a restaurant." The sister-in-law was still reluctant.

Duran smiled and said, "Otherwise, buy a big one, and I'll give a small one, just make friends with us, and you will often come to take care of me in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, people were enthusiastic, spending ten cents and sending five cents, which is equivalent to earning five cents.

"I'll pick two."

"I'll pick too."

"I want it too, I want it too." Everyone rushed forward like a swarm, scrambling to pick the fish first, for fear that the biggest one would be picked away.

In half an hour, half of the more than 100 fish they brought had been sold, and all the big and small ones were bought, and the rest were evenly distributed, almost impossible to distinguish the size.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Duran took out the money from the cloth bag and counted it, and after counting it, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, this was the first money she had made since she came here.

She looked at Gu Youan excitedly, "Guess how much we sold?" ”

Seeing that more than half of the fish was sold, Gu Youan also showed a hint of joy: "It's probably more than two hundred dollars." ”

"You guessed it, these are for you." As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful from the cloth bag and handed it to Gu Youan.

Gu Youan was stunned and didn't move.

"Are you too little, then why don't you wait to go home, let's count it clearly, and five or five points will be good." Duran said generously, "Anyway, they also contributed half of their labor.

Hearing this, Gu Youan couldn't laugh even more, although making money was Duran's idea, but Duran drew so clearly between him and him, which made him faintly worried in his heart, could it be that she had other plans in the future?

Seeing that he was stunned, Du Lan stuffed the copper coin into his hand, "I'm still sullen after making money, take it, you still have to honor your grandfather." ”

I can't tell what I feel in my heart, in short, Gu Youan can't be happy, and when he accepts these copper coins, he is even more silent.

"There are so few people now." The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Duran looked for a topic to talk about. I always feel that Gu Youan is a very thoughtful person, and I can't guess it.

"There will be people coming to buy groceries near noon." Gu Youan said in a deep voice.

"Oh, then there's no one now, why don't I go buy something first, and when it's sold out, it's estimated that it will be noon, and I promised to bring good food to grandpa at noon, we have to rush home, and we won't have time to hang out."

"Do you know the road?" He asked.

Duran was stunned for a moment, and Silly Lan had no impression of the city in his mind.

"I'd better go, you wait here." After saying that, he left the vegetable market.

When Gu Youan was by her side, Du Lan didn't feel bored, but now that she was alone, she suddenly felt empty around her, and she was very unaccustomed to it.

Looking at the remaining fish, and then at the sparse pedestrians on the side of the road, and tasting the sweetness of making money, Duran couldn't wait to sell the fish for money.

She opened her throat again and shouted, "Sell sweet and sour fish, two for ten cents!" ”

Two for ten cents? Soon passers-by came around, and after tasting it, they thought it was delicious, so they paid for it.

One by one, there were constant customers in front of her stall, and it was almost sold out in a short time.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came to the stall with a servant beside him.

Duran looked at them, the middle-aged man was dressed extraordinarily and was a rich man.

"Uncle, do you want to buy sweet and sour fish?" Duran greeted with a smile.

"Sweet and sour fish? Is it the scraps in this basket? The man glanced at her disdainfully.

The man spoke with a lot of anger, but his tone was too arrogant, and he didn't really come to buy fish when he was picky.

Duran smiled lightly, "All the fish here are sold, and there are only incomplete ones left, if you don't like it, it's better to wait for the next time." ”

And when he spoke, he took a cloth and covered the basket.
