Chapter 3 Selling Fish

The villages along the river are poor, but the county has a bit of an economic foundation.

This stems from the fact that there are two large factories in the county, a meat factory and a hosiery factory.

With these two large factories, many people in the county have jobs.

If you have a job, you have a salary, and if you have a salary, you have purchasing power.

"You're going to the meat factory, right?"

Meng Guoqiang said to himself, pushed the cart and rushed to the meat factory.

However, after not taking half a step, I felt a resistance from the board car.

Looking back, Meng Chuntao was dragging the cart and not leaving.

"If we don't go to the meat factory, let's go to the sock factory."

When I go to the meat factory, I rush to buy meat, where will I put extra eyes on her fish.

The socks factory is in the west of the county, and the family yard is next to the socks factory.

When they arrived, there were already some small vendors setting up their stalls at the entrance of the family home.

Meng Guoqiang really believed Meng Chuntao's words after seeing that the small vendors were fine with their stalls.

Immediately, he glanced at the family courtyard with a complicated face, and then glanced at Meng Chuntao very quickly, and found a place to help unload the fish on the cart without changing his face.

At the entrance of the family courtyard, there are people who sell roasted sweet potatoes, wontons, and eggs, but there are no fish sellers.

Seeing that there was no collision with the things sold by the stall, Meng Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, and put the snakeskin bag and scale on the ground next to the fish bucket to set up a stall.

Meng Chuntao set up the stall and began to sell it loudly.

"Sell fish! The meat is fat and fresh with fewer thorns! ”

"Take a look! A variety of fish can be selected, such as squirrel fish, sweet and sour fish, braised fish, saliva fish, steamed fish, fried fish, grilled fish...... It's delicious, it's not the same! ”

Meng Guoqiang was stunned by Meng Chuntao's smooth shouting.

In these years, it is already bold to come out to set up a stall to do business, no one shouts loudly, and someone dares to talk in a low voice when someone comes to buy.

Meng Chuntao's shouting is an anomaly, standing out among the vendors who dare not say much.

In addition, he is young and delicate, and can speak well, and many passers-by were attracted by Meng Chuntao's shouting.

"Look at Yubei! Mandarin fish, herring, sea bass, yellow croaker, grass carp, fathead fish are all available, see which one you like? ”

The aunt standing at the front with a vegetable basket came up:

"Little girl, you just exploded so many dish names, is it true? Can this fish really cook so many dishes? ”

Meng Chuntao smiled and nodded: "It's true, each fish has a suitable method for each fish." Look at which fish you want, I'll sell you cheaply, and I'll tell you how to do it. ”

It's not that there is no fish sold in the market, but this is the first time that someone has sold fish and sent fish recipes, and it sounds fresh.

When the surrounding people heard the news, they also surrounded Meng Chuntao's stall.

There were many people, and Meng Chuntao didn't see nervousness on his face, he greeted people politely, his mouth was sweeter, and the price was naturally inquired clearly.

The market price of fish is 0.1 yuan a catty, which is the price of four major fish. For example, mandarin fish, herring, sea bass, yellow croaker, etc., cost 0.15 yuan a catty, and also ask for food stamps, if the farmers catch their own fish, they do not need food stamps ranging from 0.18 yuan to 0.23 yuan, and the specific depends on the variety of fish.

Meng Chuntao's fish are carefully selected, and the price will naturally fluctuate.

"If you buy a pound of fish, you will be counted as two cents and three cents a pound, if you buy five pounds of fish, you will be counted as two cents and two cents a pound, and ten pounds of fish will be counted as two cents and a pound!"

Everyone was a little stunned by Meng Chuntao's price ladder, and the aunt was the first to come back to her senses: "How can you eat it after buying so much?" ”

"If you want to eat something fresh, you can buy two first. Eat one today, and keep the rest in the water, and you can raise it for a few days if you change the water frequently. If you can accept the pickled fish, you can marinate the rest of the fish and let it sit and eat it slowly. ”

The aunt was persuaded by Meng Chuntao's words, and immediately bought two fish, just enough for six catties.

Meng Chuntao accepted a piece of three cents and a penny, took the initiative to erase the fraction of a penny, and also attached the practice of fish, and the aunt left happily.

When the others saw that Meng Chuntao really said how to make fish, they all rushed up to pick fish. They are either for the way of making fish, or they simply love to eat fish.

The buyer picks the fish, and Meng Guoqiang catches the fish on the scale and reports the number, and Meng Chuntao calculates the account and collects the money, and then says some ways to make fish, with a clear division of labor.

The fish they brought was quickly snapped up, and Meng Chuntao handed over all the money to Meng Guoqiang.

Meng Guoqiang counted the money, and the four buckets of fish totaled 135 catties, and a total of 28 yuan, 4 cents and 6 cents were sold...... When did it become so easy to make money?

This is all a costless business, which is much easier than growing crops.

He is shaving in the fields, and he is busy until the sky breaks above his head for about 200 yuan, which is still when the wind and rain are smooth and the crops are satisfied, and in addition to this, he has to spend some money on seeds and fertilizers......

Meng Guoqiang was stunned for a while, still afraid that he was dreaming, so he pinched his thigh.

The tingling and sour feeling went straight to the Tianling Gai from his thighs, and Meng Guoqiang's painful grinning teeth eased for a long time.

Oh my God, how can you make so much money?

It's not a dream yet!

"Little Peach, why are you so good at selling things? Where did you learn it? ”

Meng Guoqiang came back to his senses, and then remembered to ask Meng Chuntao about it.

Usually at home, he didn't notice that Meng Chuntao's mouth was so sharp.

The vendors in the neighborhood also pricked up their ears, and if they learned this skill, they might be able to return home clean every day.

Meng Chuntao packed up his things without raising his head: "Guess? ”

That's reluctance to say it.

Meng Guoqiang was silent, counted the money again, and stuffed the money to Meng Chuntao:

"Keep the money for yourself, pack it up and we'll go back."

Meng Chuntao didn't shirk and put the money away.

It is convenient for her to use the money, and if she lacks anything, Meng Chuntao can buy it immediately, and she doesn't need to report to Meng Guoqiang to get money.

After tossing for a long time, Meng Chuntao was hungry, walked to the wonton stall and stopped, and asked for two bowls of fresh meat wontons.

The wonton stalls on the roadside do not require food stamps, and a bowl of wontons with thin skin and filling is only 3 cents.

The wontons are freshly eaten and packed, and the stall owner is an aunt, only to see her fingers flying up and down, and a round wonton is wrapped.

Meng Chuntao pulled Meng Guoqiang to sit in front of the stall, and the fragrance of bone broth kept wafting over.

Meng Guoqiang waved his hand crampedly, pulling Meng Chuntao's clothes to leave, "Don't do it, don't do it, let's go home and eat!" ”

Meng Chuntao pretended not to hear it, and directly handed the aunt 6 cents, and the aunt praised while ordering the wontons:

"You are blessed! This kid is so filial! ”

Meng Guoqiang had no choice but to sit back, but his heart gushed out with warmth because of Meng Chuntao's movements, and he said politely: "Thank you." ”

After the wontons are finished, they are scooped up with a fence and put into a bowl, sprinkled with some chives and shrimp skin, and then poured a spoonful of bone broth that has been boiled for a long time, and the fragrance is immediately stimulated.

The soup is a clear soup, the wontons are white and bulging, and the bowl is steaming.

Meng Guoqiang looked at the wontons sent over, his eyes were slightly red, he couldn't remember the last time he ate such fine grains was a long time ago.

When you bite into it, the wonton skin will break, and the fragrance of fresh meat will instantly spread in your mouth.

Meng Chuntao has not eaten anything delicious, but in this era of scarcity of materials, compared to the sweet potato porridge in the morning, this is already a good delicacy.

Before he could take a few bites, a thin-skinned woman with a patch and a yellow face walked over.
