Chapter 275: Buying Fish on the Black Market
After Qin Xi separated from the others, she went to the shop that sold shoes, with cloth shoes, leather shoes, rubber shoes, and woolen shoes made of woolen crochet, which she also wanted to learn, but she still didn't know much about it.
Woolen shoes are still more suitable to wear in winter, especially when you are at home, especially to warm your feet.
She bought a total of three pairs, her shoe size was about thirty-eight sizes, and the eldest brother and second brother's feet were bigger than hers, and forty was about the same.
In addition, she also bought woolen socks with woolen shoes.
In the past, more than half of the money spent on selling rabbits was spent here, and in the black market, the money was the least spent.
In addition, she also bought two catties of brown sugar, and when it is cold in winter, she can often drink brown sugar ginger water to warm her body.
As for the meat, they came late, and there was only a stinky and baked large intestine left on the meat stall, for this, Qin Xi resolutely refused, the large intestine was too smelly and difficult to clean up, even if it was very cheap, she didn't want it.
By this time, many of the lakes and pools were almost dry, and some people would take the fish they couldn't eat at home to the black market and sell them.
Compared to meat, the price of fish is much more beautiful, and it is cheap and affordable.
Qin Xi picked a total of five big grass carp and one male head fish, as for crucian carp, silver carp, catfish and the like, she didn't like it very much, so she didn't buy it.
She plans to take the grass carp back and hang it in the kitchen to smoke the preserved fish, as for the male head fish, this fish is too big, there are more than nine catties, the fish head she plans to steam or play hot pot, the fish can eat a part, give Tang Ying and them some of it, and the rest is still smeared with salt and spices and smoked.
There are a lot of fish in the black market, if it weren't for the fact that the bus broke down and might not have been repaired now, these fish may need to be carried back by them personally, and Qin Xi may also pick two more grass carp to take away.
After all, they live in the countryside, and it is not easy to come to the county seat once, but now it's okay, it's cold and snowy outside, you don't have to go to work, and when you get to work, there will be no time to come, even if it's Qinxi, it's the same.
At this time, the grass carp are not fed feed, they all grow up slowly in the lake, but every once in a while, someone will throw some blades of grass into it.
If the grass carp wants to grow to more than six catties, it will take at least two years, this kind of pure natural and additive-free fish, put in the future generations, it will cost dozens of yuan a catty, and now four cents and five catties, she thinks it is still worth it.
It is worthy of being in the city, this fish is also slaughtered, scraped and scraped, the stall owner's technique is very sharp, and he quickly dealt with one.
The grass carp she picked were all very large, the smallest one was more than four pounds, and the largest one was more than seven pounds.
She can't take these fish with her, she still has to call her brother, and besides, her back basket can't hold so many fish, so she needs to buy another back basket.
After paying a deposit of two yuan to the stall owner, Qin Xi went to find someone.
Her second brother didn't see it, but the eldest brother just walked around and saw it.
"Brother, I bought a few fish, let's take them back to make preserved fish."
When Qin Jiang saw Qin Xi, his hand subconsciously shrank into his trouser pocket, and after touching the metal box inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he had already put things in his trouser pocket.
In short, it's good not to be discovered.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"But before we do that, we're going to buy a new basket, and mine shouldn't be able to hold so many fish."
"I bought six fish, each of which is the kind that goes up by four catties, and the largest one, which is more than nine catties, is a male head fish, the head of this fish is tender and fat, whether it is hot pot or steaming, it is a good choice."
The essence of the male head fish is the fish head, the meat on the fish head, Q bomb and soft and glutinous, and can even be sucked and eaten like jelly.
As for the fish, it is very ordinary, although the meat is tender, but there are many spines, when eating fish, you should be especially careful so as not to prick your mouth.
"Okay, listen to you, there is a backpack seller in front, I'll go with you to have a look." Qin Jiang has always had no objection to Qin Xi's words.
Although he can already weave a basket, isn't this urgent?
A back basket is not expensive, two cents, and Qin Xi also asked the stall owner to send a bundle of straw.
Fish and meat in the black market are much cheaper than pork, and she buys more, and the stall owner sells it to her for five cents a catty, which is calculated on the basis of four cents and five cents a catty.
When Qin Xi walked over with Qin Jiang, the stall owner and his son and daughter-in-law had already killed all the fish and dealt with them, and the speed was not fast.
The clothes of the three people were all speckled with scales, and the clothes were inevitably wet, but after receiving the money, the smiles on the faces of the three were so bright.
Six fish, a total of thirty-seven catties and two taels, one catty and four cents and five cents, that is, sixteen yuan, seven cents and four cents.
The stall owner generously erased the four cents hanging in the back, and only collected sixteen yuan and seven cents.
Sell it out early and close the stall early and go home.
When the brother and sister were loading fish into the back basket, Tang Ying and He Yuan saw them at a glance and walked over directly.
"Qin Xi, you bought this?" Tang Ying thought it was incredible, this is too much!
"This fish is so big! It's ten pounds! ”
Qin Xi spared no effort to introduce the business to the stall owner: "Look at this fish fat!" ”
"I didn't buy meat in the county this time, so it's good to buy a few fish and go back to make preserved fish."
"Look at this big fish head, do you want to eat it?"
Tang Ying smiled helplessly: "Think about it, think about it very much." ”
"I didn't buy meat anyway, and like you, it's a good choice to buy a fish to go back."
As for being like Qin Xi, there are many pieces to buy, she can't do it, there are many people with mixed hands, and the fish hanging in the kitchen may get up one morning and find that the fish is gone!
"Do you want to make preserved fish?"
"The walls of my kitchen are still very spacious, and it shouldn't be a problem to hang a dozen or so fish."
Anyway, Tang Ying and their rabbits have already been raised with them, Qin Xi doesn't mind them hanging the fish in their kitchen, they are friends! Pal.
After coming here for so many years, in addition to her two brothers, Tang Ying and He Yuan, she has always been considerate and generous to her own people.
"Really?"
"Then I'm not going to be polite to you."
After speaking, Tang Ying pulled He Yuan, and the two of them picked up the fish on the stall.
It took five or six minutes for the two of them to make a decision to buy two grass carp and one male head fish, which was the same price as Qin Xi's previous purchase, which was four cents and five pounds.
To tell the truth, the price of this fish is much cheaper than the price of meat, and the meat on the black market is now two yuan and seven cents a catty, and one pound of meat can buy six catties of fish, no matter how it is cost-effective to buy fish!
Of course, two pieces of seven's meat, that must be in good condition, and it can't have bones.
