Chapter 9, Selling Fish in the Vegetable Market
To say that swan meat is delicious, in fact, it is not true.
But how much the price can sell, Zhou Jimin can't be sure, this matter depends on the buyer.
Of course, he prefers to sell the goose instead of stewing it.
The main thing is that I am afraid of trouble.
In these days, although it is not illegal to hunt swans, I am afraid that the people in the courtyard will gossip.
If someone says that the swan was caught by eating its own bait, no one will believe it, but if someone says that it was stolen, then everyone will believe it.
As for buying it, there are really not many people raising it these days.
So, Zhou Jimin, who had a decision, told his younger brothers and sisters about his decision.
And he told them not to tell anyone about the swan, as if it had not happened.
"Wait a few days, I'll use the money from selling swans to buy a big rooster, and then we can eat chicken legs, okay?"
As soon as she heard that she could eat chicken legs, Zhou Shumin's eyes suddenly lit up.
But immediately, his eyes were staring at the swan, quite reluctant.
"But big brother, I haven't tasted swan meat yet."
"Little goldfish, how stupid do you think this swan is? It fell directly into our hands, and if you eat it, won't you become stupid in the future? Do you want to be silly? ”
"I don't want to!"
"Since I don't want to, then sell it, sell it for money, let's eat chicken legs, and when the Chinese New Year comes, will the eldest brother buy a goose?"
"Good!"
The two siblings asked and answered, and the matter was settled.
Zhou Shuqing and the third child didn't interject, laughing at the eldest brother coaxing the little goldfish.
Looking at the sun on the side of the mountain, Zhou Jimin said: "You wait for me here, I'll go to a nearby village to borrow a car to pull the fish back." ”
The fourth sibling naturally nodded in agreement, and then watched him run away from here.
It's just outside the city, and there are quite a few villages nearby.
It's just that Zhou Jimin didn't really go to the village to borrow a board car, but found a small forest where no one was around, and pushed a board car out of the warehouse space.
Even, in order to ensure live fish, he also deliberately nailed iron sheets to the bottom and around the board truck.
And, in order to convince others, the board car and the iron sheet are deliberately retro.
From afar, the four siblings saw him pushing the cart back and jumped up with cheer.
"Wow, it's still iron, is that waterproof?"
"Yes, but in that case, when we go back, we'll be busy."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother, I have a lot of strength."
There is still a difference between the price of live fish and dead fish.
Although it would be tiring to put some water on the cart and pull the live fish back to the city.
But if they could sell it for a little more, they would be willing to do it.
The four sisters and brothers all showed their biceps one by one, wanting to prove that they were very powerful, and even the little goldfish was like this, which made Zhou Jimin very happy.
"Okay, don't you have these things that you don't have, no matter how strong you are, can you have my strength?"
Shaking his head and smiling, Zhou Jimin pointed to the board cart and the fish in the small pond and said:
"Get the fish quickly, and go back to the city."
The five of them worked together and soon caught the more than 50 fish on the cart.
"Third child, go and fold some branches, put them on top of them, and cover them to prevent sprinkling."
The four sides of the cart are not high, just push it like this, and the water will definitely spill all the way.
But it's different to get some branches to cover it, and the water will not spill out so easily.
After everything was done, the family finally set foot on the road back to the city.
The silly swan was put into the sack that was originally used to hold the fish, and was carried by the fourth child.
It only took half an hour when I came, but an hour when I got back.
After entering the city, the road was relatively easy to walk, but I inquired all the way, and finally it took half an hour to find the vegetable market that was almost over.
The supply and marketing cooperatives have already left work, so they can only find the vegetable market.
It is also Zhou Jimin that they have no experience, even if the supply and marketing cooperatives are not off work, they do not accept fish.
The staff who managed the vegetable market were stunned when they saw Zhou Jimin and the fish on the cart.
Are half-sized children so powerful now?
Before he could speak, a middle-aged man who wanted to buy fish hurriedly walked over.
"Comrade, how do you sell this fish?"
Zhou Jimin was stunned, he didn't plan to retail.
Instead, the staff looked at the middle-aged man fiercely and said, "This comrade, why are you so rude?" Don't you see it's busy? While lining up. ”
Originally, I was about to get off work, and there were so many things to do, so I was on fire.
Therefore, he doesn't have a very good face for Zhou Jimin.
"The market is going to close soon, so you can send it over at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Doesn't the market close until half-past six? It's not there yet, is it? Zhou Jimin was not used to the other party, and said directly to the middle-aged man:
"I have three kinds of fish here, one is about five catties, and there are about three or four catties, and less than two catties, and the price of a fish is one piece, seven cents and three cents respectively."
The price, it's too cheap.
You must know that pork is the price of three cents a catty, and it is also meat, and the fish in the vegetable market is generally about two cents and five cents a catty.
According to Zhou Jimin's price, more than five catties of big fish is only one dollar, which is really too cheap.
"Okay, get me two big fish of five catties and give you two dollars."
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out two yuan.
Zhou Jimin directly fished out two big fish and put them in each other's baskets.
In these days, when buying things, you have to bring your own basket or net, and the seller will not prepare these things.
Because he had to hurry back to cook and entertain the guests, the middle-aged man left with two fish after dropping the money.
Zhou Shuqing here took the two yuan in a daze, still very confused.
The staff is also dumbfounded, is it the other way around?
"Little comrade, I remember you."
The indignant staff couldn't do anything, so they had to drop the management bills, put down the harsh words, and stand aside and stare at them.
"Leave the market at the end of the day, don't blame me for not reminding you."
As he spoke, the staff also took out his watch and looked at the time.
Twelve minutes to go.
In this regard, Zhou Jimin did not pay attention to the other party's words, but simply took the bill and said thank you.
It was getting dark, but there weren't many people in the market.
At this point in time, most of them went home to cook.
That is, the vegetable market is more special, and it will only close when it is dark.
Ran goose, Zhou Jimin They are lucky.
Not long after that, another well-dressed middle-aged man came over on a bicycle.
As soon as I looked at the fish in the cart, I immediately said:
"Comrade Trouble helped me send all these fish to the cotton mill next door, and I bought them all."
The cotton mill needs to entertain guests tomorrow, and the middle-aged people also deliberately come after work to take a stroll and see their luck.
After all, you won't be able to buy that much fish tomorrow morning, and it's still alive.
Hearing this, Zhou Jimin's family was overjoyed, but the staff at the vegetable market had a dark face.
Watching Zhou Jimin and them walk out of the vegetable market, the staff muttered: What a guy who has taken shit luck.
