Chapter 8: Let's go to the town to sell fish

The next morning, before dawn.

Shen Lan was just about to enter the kitchen after washing, and the whole person almost tripped over.

Fortunately, Xu Dabao, who was following behind, quickly grabbed it, so as to prevent Shen Lan from falling and gnawing on.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Xu Dabao asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm glad you grabbed Grandma...... I remember there wasn't anything here last night, so I tripped over ......."

Shen Lan was shocked, and walked into the kitchen with her legs raised while muttering.

"Oops!"

It turned out that it was Su Xiaoxia's leg that tripped Shen Lan just now.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxia was actually sleeping in the kitchen, Shen Lan hurriedly squatted down and pushed the former's shoulder: "Xiaoxia Xiaoxia, wake up ......"

"Huh? What's wrong......" Su Xiaoxia frowned, a little displeased.

Because she was sitting and sleeping, she was in pain all over her body now.

"Xiaoxia, it's my mother, my mother asked you, why did you sleep in the kitchen? Don't...... Erbao drove you out? Shen Lan asked.

Hearing the word Erbao, Su Xiaoxia gradually sobered up and touched her head, "What time is it?" ”

"What time is it?" Shen Lan was stunned.

Su Xiaoxia realized that she was not in modern times, and changed her words: "What time." ”

"It's just over the fifth watch."

"Five watches......" Su Xiaoxia muttered.

The third watch day is from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., so the fifth watch day is from 3 to 5 a.m.

Just after the fifth watch, it means that it is about five o'clock in the morning.

Shen Lan asked worriedly: "Don't worry about how many days, my mother asked you, why are you sleeping in the kitchen?" ”

Seeing this, Xu Dabao glanced at Su Xiaoxia silently, and turned around to go to the West House.

After a while, Xu Dabao came back, followed by the sleepy-eyed Erbao.

When Erbao saw Su Xiaoxia, the whole person was a lot more sober, and his eyes were more angry.

"What did you do last night?"

It's so angry!

He waited for a long time with his eyes open last night and didn't wait for her to come back, worried that he wouldn't sleep until midnight and was sleepy!

"Erbao!" Shen Lan snorted and frowned: "This is your mother, don't question your mother in this tone." ”

Hearing this, Erbao was so aggrieved that he pursed his mouth.

It's all this bad woman, so he reprimanded Grandma!

This bad woman is definitely going to say bad things about him, and she is definitely going to fall into the ground!

Seeing this, Xu Dabao reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder, turned his head and stared at Su Xiaoxia tightly.

He also stared at the second half of the night last night, and when he saw that she hadn't come out, he couldn't help but fall asleep on the window.

Looking at the brothers who were still hostile to him, Su Xiaoxia took a deep breath, stood up against the wall, and said, "I was hungry last night, so I wanted to go to the kitchen to find food, but I accidentally fainted from hunger." ”

"It's good that you don't catch a cold......" Shen Lan said worriedly, while reaching out to touch Su Xiaoxia's forehead, she found that her forehead was slightly cold, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and go back to the house and cover the quilt to sleep for a while, don't go to sell fish today." ”

"It's fine." Su Xiaoxia shook her head and yawned, "I'll wash my face, then clean up, and I'll go to the city later." ”

I've been woken up, and if I go back to sleep, I'll have to sleep until noon!

The good time to change the plot is not to be wasted.

When she walked out of the kitchen, Su Xiaoxia lowered her head and glanced at Erbao with a complicated look.

It should be that I thought about it too much, Erbao is only six years old now, and I shouldn't be able to get poison to poison her......

A moment later.

The sky is white.

Su Xiaoxia entered the house and called Sanbao, but Sanbao didn't want to wake up, so he wanted to be lazy.

Seeing this, Shen Lan had no choice but to say: "Otherwise, just leave Sanbao at home, it's convenient for you to go by yourself." ”

"Okay." Su Xiaoxia nodded, thinking that if she went alone, she could throw all the fish into the space halfway, so that she didn't have to contribute.

Erbao, who was originally going to follow, dispelled the idea of going as soon as he heard that Sanbao would not follow the bad woman to the town, but in fact, he was worried that he would be sold.

However, Xu Dabao was surprisingly going with him this time.

Su Xiaoxia shook her head: "You are still at home, looking at the two treasures and three treasures." ”

If Xu Dabao goes along, how will he use the space?

"No, I'm going too, I'm going to watch you, lest you run away." Xu Dabao said confidently.

"I'm not going to run."

"Don't believe it!" Xu Dabao said coldly.

“……”

It's really tougher than the other!

Shen Lan wanted to use this to resolve the grievances between Su Xiaoxia and Xu Dabao, so she persuaded: "Xiaoxia, let Dabao help you, he knows more than Erbao, and his strength is greater than Erbao." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Su Xiaoxia said helplessly.

If you continue to grind, it will be hot at dawn, and there will be no good location by then.

Afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with the time, Shen Lan went to her neighbor to borrow a board car and put all four buckets of fish in the car.

At first, Su Xiaoxia pushed the cart alone, but she was out of breath halfway and tired, and finally Xu Dabao came out and pushed the cart to the town before the sun came out.

It wasn't too early, but she found a good spot.

It wasn't until she brought out the barrels one by one that she realized a problem.

That is, she doesn't know how much a fish on the market costs or a catty, and if she talks about catties, she doesn't have the tools to weigh them.

Therefore, it can only be sold on the basis of arguments.

"Dabao, where do you go to ask others how to sell fish?"

"Why?" Xu Dabao glanced faintly.

Su Xiaoxia glanced at her, "Because I don't know how much to sell!" ”

"You don't want to run away."

"......" Su Xiaoxia couldn't laugh or cry, "I've come here to sell fish, where can I run?" I worked hard to catch this fish! ”

Hearing this, Xu Dabao felt reasonable, so he got up and went to other fishmongers to ask, and finally got two to five cents a pound to see what kind of fish it was.

Those with fewer thorns are three or five dollars a catty, and those with more thorns are basically one or two dollars a catty.

Su Xiaoxia asked Xu Dabao to ask a few more.

After a while, she set the price of less thorns at six yuan, and if she bought a fish with fewer thorns and more than two catties, she would give a fish with more thorns, while supplies last.

Because there are only a few spines in these fish.

"Will anyone buy it?" Xu Dabao asked with a skeptical expression.

"Wouldn't you like to know if you tried it? Anyway, we have a lot of fish, so if we can't sell it, we can take it home and eat it! ”

She mainly wants to sell Arowana, and sell other fish to explore the market.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxia got up, looked at the passers-by, and opened her mouth to shout, "Come on!" Dear folks, fathers, brothers and sisters! ”

"Fresh big fish and small fish, buy more and get more!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, there won't be this shop after this village-"

Xu Dabao was dumbfounded.

Such a novel way of selling is immediately eye-catching, especially on crowded streets, and her voice is particularly loud.

Even if some people don't buy it, they want to come forward and join in the fun.

When they saw that the fish in the barrel were fat and fresh, many people became interested in buying them.

A woman who passed by asked, "Will I help with the scales when I buy fish from you?" ”
