Chapter 268: Selling Fish 2
"Uncle Chen, are you going to sell fish in the county seat?" Mu Xiu asked curiously.
"Yes, one is to sell fish, but to find a way to see if we can meet big customers and sell all the fish raised by other people in our village."
"I'll go with you tomorrow, I just collected a batch of shiitake mushrooms and sent them to Uncle Sun." Mu Xiu volunteered.
"Okay, I'm still thinking about who to go with me." Chen Xiangyang's words fell, and Chen Xuhui followed and said, "I'll go too." ”
"Then it's decided, I'll go to the field to catch fish at five o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll set off at ten o'clock." Chen Xiangyang stood up.
Mu Xiu ran into the kitchen, packed a portion of the seasoning, and sent Chen Xiangyang away.
"Dad, Brother Chen, let's get up early tomorrow morning and go to help the village party secretary catch fish." Mu Xiu entered the hall and said to Mu Shui, who was weaving a bamboo basket.
"Okay."
The next day, the genius Meng Mengliang, Mu Shui, Chen Xuhui, Mu Xiu, and Mu Xiaocao walked towards Chen Xiangyang's responsibility field.
I saw the figures of Chen Xiangyang and Aunt Chen from a distance, and when I got closer, I saw that he was releasing water, and the two of them were pulling fishing nets one by one, and there were a lot of fishing nets and wooden barrels around them, and some wooden barrels were already full of fish.
It turned out that in order to save time, Chen Xiangyang pulled out the fence first, and then dug up the water outlet, so that the fish could flow out with the water from the inside, but in this case, when the net was full, put the fish into the bucket and the gap between changing the net, there would be fish washed outside with the water, and when they finally went to pick it up, most of the fish died.
"Dad, you go and pick up the net in Aunt Chen's hand." After Mu Xiu saw it, he quickly turned his head and shouted at Mu Shui.
Mu Shui trotted all the way, ran over, and got the fishing net from Aunt Chen.
"Brother Chen, let's take a net and go up to it." Mu Xiu took the fishing net from the barrel and handed it to Chen Xuhui, and the two walked in front of Mu Shui and Chen Xiangyang together.
"Dad, Uncle Chen, you close the net and retreat." Mu Xiu's voice fell, Mu Shui and Chen Xiangyang took two steps back, put away the net, picked it up and poured it into the wooden barrel.
Mu Xiu and Chen Xuhui swept the net in their hands while they were collecting the net, and the fish was instantly washed into their nets by the water.
The water in the rice field has been emptied, and only half a foot of deep water cannot come out, so several people carry buckets and go into the field and begin to scoop water to catch fish.
Soon, all the fish were caught.
"Why are you here? It really helped me a lot. Chen Xiangyang said gratefully.
Mu Shui smiled innocently and did not speak.
"Uncle Chen, let's put the fish on the ox cart first." Mu Xiu said loudly.
Together, after the wooden barrel is firmly tied to the ox cart, the fish began to pour into it, an adult ox cart, bearing a weight of 300 kilograms to 500 kilograms, this cow is only an adult, that is, it can carry about 300 kilograms of goods.
The fish in two large wooden barrels plus water is about five hundred catties, and the cow easily pulls it up.
"Let's all hurry up and wash, change into clean clothes, and go to the county seat." Mu Xiu had already prepared and brought a change of clothes, and so did Chen Xuhui.
Everyone went to Chen Xiangyang's house together, washed and changed clothes, and then rushed to the county seat, this time, Mu Xiu also rode the bicycle.
Chen Xiangyang had already heard that Mu Xiu had bought a bicycle, and this was the first time he had seen it, so he circled around and said with a sigh: "This bicycle is a rare thing, Mu Xiu, or you have a chance." ”
"Uncle Chen, don't make fun of me, let's go." Mu Xiu got on the bicycle and walked in front, Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart, and Chen Xiangyang sat next to the ox cart.
Finally at ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them drove the ox cart to the county seat, Mu Xiu took them to the door of the vegetable market, found a shady place, untied the flatbed cart, and let the cattle rest.
"Sell fish, sell fish, fresh carp grass carp, no money if it's not fresh, big brothers and sisters passing by will come and take a look." Mu Xiu shouted loudly, and soon, it attracted people's attention.
Chen Xiangyang saw Mu Xiu doing business for the first time, and was shocked by her boldness, and then it became clear that it was no wonder that Mu Xiu could make money, and not everyone had the courage to shout.
As Mu Xiu thought, most of the fish in the vegetable market are dead fish now, and the live fish are also half-dead.
"This fish is so fresh." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"How do you sell this fish?" Someone asked.
"Three cents a pound." Mu Xiu replied heartily.
"The ones in the vegetable market are also three cents a catty, but they are all dead, and this one is also three cents." An aunt whispered to the young woman next to her.
"Boss, give me this, this, and that." A crisp voice rang out, and a young woman, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, pointed to the fish swimming happily in the basin.
"Okay, big sister." Mu Xiu shouted sweetly, here Chen Xiangyang has already picked up the scale, and passed the three fish that the woman just pointed out through the gills with a rope.
"It's ten pounds in total, three dollars." Chen Xiangyang picked it up and calculated the account.
"Give money." The young woman handed over three dollars, picked up the fish, and left.
Next, everyone rushed to buy, and soon, a wooden barrel of fish was sold out in more than a hundred catties.
"Let's go, let's go to the next vegetable market."
Chen Xuhui and Chen Xiangyang put the ox cart on and followed Mu Xiu to another vegetable market.
On the way to the vegetable market, when passing by a street, the three of them were shocked by the queue of people from the beginning to the end of the street, and saw that the small and narrow street was crowded with people in the dark, and some people in the crowd were still pushing bicycles, and some people were holding nets in their hands.
"Xiu, what is that for!" Chen Xiangyang asked in surprise.
"I'll take a look." Mu Xiu deftly turned over from the ox cart, and between a few intersperses, he reached the front of the line.
"Yuebin Restaurant" Mu Xiu saw a small signboard hanging on a house facing the street, and the signboard said these four words, Mu Xiu suddenly became a little excited, and the county actually opened a private restaurant.
In the past, in the county town, only some small shops selling noodles and breakfast were opened one after another, and the kind of restaurants that stir-fried and cooked had no other restaurants except for a state-run restaurant in the county seat.
At this time, it is difficult to find a chef, and it is even more rare to have a chef who can make all kinds of colors and flavors, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the county town has opened such a private restaurant, and the business is still so good.
