Tian Changfa took out an old scale brought from the old house, sorted out the weighing pan and said, "Oh, six yuan a catty." ”

When the retired old man saw the scale, he frowned in disgust, "This scale is old like this, is it accurate?" As he spoke, he wanted to leave.

Tian Changfa straightened the scales and became anxious, "My scale is very accurate, and I have used it for decades, and I have not made any mistakes." ”

"It's been decades, can it still be accurate? If you don't buy it, you don't buy it, and it's most annoying to take the old scale. ”

The retired old man turned around and walked away without looking back.

A few people watching the fish also said that the scales were too old and might not be accurate.

At this time, the scales are all portable rod scales, and there are indeed many inaccurate.

Tian Changfa anxiously argued with others, "The scale is accurate, and it won't be less than two catties." ”

But this is the first time he has come to this market to do business, his face is unfamiliar, and no one pays attention to him.

Tian Miaoxiu thought of one thing, caught the fish and carried it, and shouted to the retired old man just now, "Daddy who carries the basket, you wait, this fish weighs ten catties, if it is less weight, we will count it as half price." ”

The retired old man turned around and looked at the big black fish again, "Are you sure it weighs ten pounds?" ”

"Isn't there a fair scale at the entrance of the market? We can go there and go over the scales. Tian Miaoxiu pointed to the post of the management office and said.

In order to supervise the shortage of two catties of street vendors in the market, each vegetable market has a supervision post, and two accurate scales are placed in front of the sentry box.

Some are disc scales, and later more accurate electronic scales.

If you don't worry about whether the food you buy is accurate, you can weigh it here for free, and if you find that you are missing two catties, you can go to the supervision post to complain about the vendors.

But Tian Changfa is a mobile vendor who comes to sell fish temporarily, and even if there is a supervision, those who are not familiar with their scales dare not buy it, for fear that they will run away if they deceive people, and no one can be found to complain

Tian Changfa saw that his daughter was very sure, and was worried that she would be childish, "Miao Xiu? ”

"Dad, I weighed it in advance, I can't be wrong." Tian Miaoxiu smiled.

In fact, she was born with a special ability.

No matter what she takes, she can sense the weight of the item, and the error is only about half a tael.

Hearing her say this, Tian Chang was relieved, and also called out to the retired old man, "Uncle, if you don't believe it, let's go to the front and pass the scales." ”

The retired old man looked back, "Of course it's going to be weighed, the weight is accurate, I don't just buy this, I also have to buy this carp." ”

"This carp is more than three catties, let's count three catties for you." Tian Miaoxiu caught the carp and said.

"Well, the little girl speaks cheerfully, and she must be a capable businessman when she grows up." The retired old man nodded, "Let's go, go back to the scale, the weight is right, I'll buy it right away." ”

"Okay." Tian Miaoxiu caught two fish and put them in the basket of the retired old man.

She took the basket and walked to the front ten paces to re-weigh it.

A few onlookers also followed to see it.

Tian Miaoxiu put the two fish on the scale.

The weight was slightly heavier than what she had just said.

The retired old man gave a thumbs up to Tian Miaoxiu, "Not bad, not bad at all, okay, I bought these two fish!" ”

"We come according to the market price, six pieces of black fish for one catty, two pieces of carp for one catty, and two fish for sixty-six yuan." Tian Miaoxiu calculated the price.

At this time, the price is cheap, and the wild big black fish after 30 years can be sold for two or three yuan and eleven catties.

Carp will also be five or six times more expensive.

However, Han County, located on the Yangtze River, is full of rivers and lakes, and when the rain floods the ditches and rivers in summer, fish can be caught everywhere, and the price will be cheaper than winter fish.

When the pond is flooded in the summer, some common silver carp are even sold for only a few cents a catty.

Today, the two fish were sold for dozens of yuan, and Tian Miaoxiu was quite satisfied.

The second brother has the money to live in a hotel.

The retired old man comes to buy vegetables almost every day, what is the price of chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and milk, he knows it well, "Well, the price is okay for two catties, you still have live fish to sell here in the future, I will buy it again." ”

He happily paid and walked away with the basket.

"Big Daddy, go slowly." Tian Miaoxiu took sixty-six yuan, smiled and ran towards Tian Changfa, "Dad, collect the money." ”

She stuffed the money into Tian Changfa's hand.

Tian Changfa was full of emotion, he was a worker who had been in the factory for half his life, and he didn't know how to make a living outside, and when he thought that it would be difficult to move an inch, he didn't expect to have a harvest from selling fish the day before.

It's a little girl who owes it to her clever little daughter.

"Eh, that's good, Miao Xiu." Tian Changfa patted Tian Miaoxiu's shoulder.

The onlookers, seeing that their catties were accurate and the prices were fair, also came around and said that they wanted to buy fish.

Tian Miaoxiu showed them his skills, "You catch a fish casually, I say how many catties, it is how many catties, and if it is less, it will be sold to you at half price, for example, the two fish that the big dad bought just now are the weight of my hand." ”

Everyone saw that she was young and spoke confidently, just as a childish joke.

Someone casually pointed to a silver carp, "This one." ”

"Four pounds and two taels." Tian Miaoxiu picked up the fish and walked to the fair scale to weigh it, and sure enough, one or two were not bad.

At this moment, everyone became more and more energetic, and they all shouted for her to pass the scale.

Tian Miaoxiu deliberately sold Guanzi, "That's not good, if it's not bad, you have to buy it, you can't play tricks on my little girl like this." ”

Anyway, I want to buy fish, and everyone laughs and says, "It's easy to say, what you say is not bad, and the price is fair, I'll buy it." ”

"Okay, everyone look at me." Tian Miaoxiu rolled up her sleeves, pressed the fish pointed out by everyone, and took them to the scales one by one.

As a result, it was all as she said, and the weight was not bad.

"Uncles and uncles can't bully my child, I have to buy it if it's not bad." Tian Miaoxiu deliberately reminded.

Everyone laughed, how could they play tricks on her child? "Of course, of course, do the math, little girl."

The crowd shouted.

Tian Miaoxiu greeted the guests, and Tian Changfa took out the thatched rope prepared in advance and tied it to the fish's mouth so that the customers could take it home.

By just over half of the morning, they had run out of fish.

In the two buckets, there are not only expensive black fish, but also cheaper carp, grass carp, bream and silver carp.

More than a dozen fish, sold for a total of 120 yuan.

Tian Changfa was surprised, this was almost enough to catch up with his original half month's salary in the towel factory.

"Dad, how's it going? If we leave the factory, we won't starve to death, will we? Tian Miaoxiu stared at the ticket in Tian Changfa's hand and asked with a smile.

Tian Changfa took out the big ticket and stuffed more than twenty yuan of change into Tian Miaoxiu's hand, "Take it, buy whatever you want." ”

Tian Miaoxiu smiled and said, "Dad, it's too much, I'll be blind." ”

"How can the girl's family have no money in their hands? Hide quietly, don't tell your second brother, don't tell your eldest sister. Tian Changfa lowered his voice and reminded in a low voice.

Tian Miaoxiu smiled, "Yes, Dad." ”
