Li Tong glanced at the vendor not far away, and then said hesitantly, "The skinned fish in that house was returned by the people who make grilled fish fillets in the city, and the ice has melted on the way back, and a lot of fish is not fresh." I heard that compensation was given, but the vendor was reluctant to throw it away, and planned to find another buyer. However, you have to go to that stall to look at the skinned fish and find faults. Otherwise, he'll have to fight with me. ”

At this time, Chu Xuan knew it in his heart.

In order to avoid scolding, Chu Xuan specially returned to the vendor and explained, "I comforted Li Tong privately just now, after all, he has always supplied me with supplies. He said that he didn't have that much skinned fish in his hands anyway, and he didn't mind if I came to your stall to buy it. ”

The vendor was very happy, "I knew that Boss Li was generous!" My name is Min San, and I will give you a title right away! ”

"Wait a minute. Don't overdo it. I have to look at the quality of the fish first. When I make grilled fish fillets, I have to use fresh skinned fish. Chu Xuan looked down at the pots of skinned fish, "Why does it smell?" This boss, did your skinned fish just land? ”

Min San's dead duck had a hard mouth, "Of course, it just landed." Isn't it normal for this fish to die when it leaves the sea? ”

"It's not a dead one. Most of them are not fresh. Don't buy it! ”

Chu Xuan turned around and left.

Min San was so anxious that she stomped her feet, only Chu Xuan could buy skinned fish in large quantities, and now she refused to accept it, so she could only take it home and dry it into dried fish.

That's it?

No way.

He'll have to find a way to sell it.

His eyes fell on Li Tong's stall.

Isn't it just the skinned fish that have just come to shore? It's a big deal, so he finds someone to let the peeled fish come to shore again.

If it can't be sold to Chu Xuan, then it will be sold to Li Tong.

When Li Tong got busy, he didn't have time to check next to him.

"I'll find a boat to throw these fish back into the sea, who can help with that!" ”

His good friend's boat had just finished selling his fish on the shore, "Use my boat!" But you'll have to drive the boat yourself. ”

Li Tong was a little puzzled, "Pull it home and dry it into dried fish, and keep it at home to eat, isn't it still saving vegetables?" ”

Min San pretended to be disgusted, "My family never eats skinned dried fish." If I throw them into the sea, I will definitely attract a large number of fish to eat them, and when the time comes, I will cast my net, and I will not be able to catch a large amount of goods. ”

Li Tong was silent.

Ten minutes later, 1,500 catties of fish arrived on the boat.

Min San personally drove the boat into the distance.

Finally found Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi was leisurely sitting on the boat fishing.

The two hit it off, and after the matter was completed, Min San gave Chu Zhi 10 yuan as a thank you fee.

After all, if all 1,500 catties of fish are sold, they can be sold for 60 yuan.

Chu Zhi had lunch before going to sea, and he could wait until it was dark before going ashore.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xuan arrived at the county seat with 40 catties of grilled fish fillets on his back.

First go to the flour mill downstairs to do business, yesterday has been an appointment.

Easily sell 20 pounds.

The rest of her back went downstairs to the family of the machinery factory and shouted, "Come and buy grilled fish fillet...... Grilled fish fillets outside the city cost ten yuan a catty, and only sell for two yuan, one dime and five pounds. I've come to buy them all! There's not much left ......."

It quickly attracted a lot of people.

Taste before you buy.

Scattered and sold 18 catties, tried to eat one tael, and there was one catty and nine taels left.

At half past five in the afternoon, Chu Xuan saw a familiar figure, it was Dr. Zhang, an old Chinese medicine doctor who treated her.

immediately closed the stall and chased after him, wanting to give less than two catties of grilled fish fillets to Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang accepted it, and he bought it with money.

Chu Xuan was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was forced to buy and sell.

After chatting, I learned that Dr. Zhang's niece Zhang Feifei lived here, and she retired due to a work injury and wanted to do a small business, but she couldn't walk very well, but she could ride a bicycle.

Chu Xuan suggested that Zhang Feifei buy grilled fish fillets from her house and set up a stall to sell grilled fish fillets.

Dr. Zhang said that he would discuss with his niece and reply next time Chu Xuan went to grab the medicine.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan and Widow Niu pulled a cart to Li Tong's stall.

Li Tongzheng sighed.

Chu Xuan stepped forward, "Boss Li, what's wrong?" ”

"I went home for dinner, and my son gave me 1,500 pounds of stinky skinned fish."

Li Tong is a conscientious person and will not sell this pile of stinky fish to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan always felt that things were not so simple, "Who sold it to you?" ”

"Listen to my son, it's Chu Zhi."

"You tell your family, don't accept Chuzhi's goods in the future. He's not a thing. However, is the number 1500 catties so familiar? What about Min San, who sells skinned fish? Chu Zhi couldn't be so diligent. ”

"It's gone. Could it be that he colluded with Chu Zhi? ”

"This has to be investigated. In this way, you continue to collect fresh peeled fish, enough to collect 1,500 catties. I'll help you recover the loss of the previous batch of stinky fish. ”

Chu Xuan finished telling and left quickly.

Go straight to Chu Zhi's house.

"Chu Zhi, you come out for me!"

Chu Zhi heard Chu Xuan's voice, and the fear of being thrown into the tree last time immediately hit, and he hid in the bedroom and refused to go out.

"I'm not going out. If you have something to say, you just say it! ”

His father and mother are not at home this time, he is the only one who is there, and he is not Chu Xuan's opponent.

Chu Xuan also guessed that Feng Chunhua was not at home, otherwise she would have jumped out early.

"Chu Zhi, I'll just say it once, you immediately go to Li Tong's stall and take away your 1,500 catties of skinned fish!"

"Chu Xuan, why are you meddling? I didn't sell it to you! ”

"Li Tong helped me collect it! Do you want the whole village to know your secret? ”

"I don't want to! I'll find someone to pull it away right away. Don't stand outside, go home and wait for news. ”

"I went to the dock and waited for news. If I don't see you in an hour, you know! ”

Chu Xuan turned to leave.

After confirming that she was far away, Chu Zhi walked out of the bedroom and locked the courtyard door.

At this moment, Min San from the next village walked over.

"Chu Zhi, where is the money from selling fish?"

It was he who hired Chu Zhi to sell skinned fish.

Chu Zhi looked at himself, "I haven't gotten the money yet." Li Tong wasn't here just now, his son was, so I'm just going to get the money. Why don't you come with me? ”

"I'm waiting for you at your doorstep. You hurry up. ”

"Okay."

Chu Zhi hurried to the dock.

After seeing Li Tong, he happily returned the sixty yuan to him, borrowed a board car, hired a strong laborer, and pulled 1,500 catties of stinky skinned fish away.

Li Tong glanced at the money in his hand, and then at Chu Xuan, he didn't expect the money to come back so quickly.

How difficult Chu Zhi and his mother are, Li Tong knows.

From this moment on, Li Tong admired Chu Xuan so much.

Strengthen the determination to help Chu Xuan collect fresh skinned fish.

When Min San saw Chu Zhi leading people to pull 1,500 catties of stinky skinned fish to appear, he scolded, "Chu Zhi, what is it?" How do you do your work? Why didn't the fish sell? ”

Chu Zhi knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't reply when he was scolded, and he didn't care, "Did you hire me and give me money?" No! Remember to settle the wages of this strong laborer, two cents. Min San, hurry up and pull your stinky fish away, smoke me to death! Don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future! ”

Min San still wanted to reason with him, but when he saw Feng Chunhua coming back, he immediately chose to shut up.

If you don't leave quickly, Feng Chunhua can spread it everywhere, and she has to add oil and vinegar to spread rumors.

Beckoning the strong laborers to pull away.

Feng Chunhua looked at Min San's back and asked Chu Zhi, "Xiaozhi, what is that person doing at our house?" ”

Chu Zhi didn't want to mention those face-losing things to Feng Chunhua, "I came to sell fish, but I drove him away." Where's my dad? Why did you come back alone? ”

"Tonight he lives in the yard he just bought in town."

"Mother, did our family really buy a yard?"

"That's it!"

"Are you ready for the bride price for Xiaoli?"

"Ready."

"Mother, where did you get so much money?"
