Chapter 20: Selling Fish

Soon dinner was ready, and today's dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous with not only braised fish pieces, but also tofu stewed fish.

In addition, stewed wild boar with radish and fried two vegetarian dishes.

Several large basins were brought to the table, and the one that everyone ate was called a mouth full of oil, and several people left satisfied after eating.

But looking at the whole live fish, it was difficult to do the opposite.

They fished a total of five, and Su Laosan originally planned to divide the five with everyone equally, but everyone disagreed.

The final result was that the four were divided equally, and the other Su Laosan brought back by himself.

In fact, these people feel that they have taken advantage of it.

They only used a little fish and meat for this meal, and there were still more than a dozen catties left, and the family planned to keep them for themselves.

But there is such a big guy who is alive.

In the end, Old Man Su slapped the table and decided, "Let's pull this fish to the market early tomorrow morning and sell it."

Su Laosan asked, "Then how much is the right amount for us?" ”

Mrs. Su looked at the rain and thought, "We don't have to sell it too expensive, just a little higher than ordinary fish."

Let's sell it for six cents a pound."

Su Saburo only felt the corners of his mouth twitch: "Old lady, six dollars a pound is not expensive!" This ordinary big fish is only sold for four cents. ”

"You bunny, what do you know? Such a big fish is rare to see once in decades, and it is already a very cheap price for us to sell six wen a catty."

Old man Su also agreed, "Listen to your mother, let's sell six yuan and big fish are rare." The meat quality is still so good, don't people say that what is rare is expensive? It's going to sell out. ”

The head of the family has been decided, what else can Su Saburo say?

Nothing was said all night

Early the next morning, the three brothers went to the village chief's house to borrow a cart and pull the big fish to the town.

It was not yet dawn when we set out, and it was already dawn by the time we arrived in town.

Many people have come to the market one after another, and they have found a suitable place to park the cart.

Su Saburo quickly shouted.

"Come and come, come and see, come and take a look, a big fish that is rare to see in a hundred years, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is delicious. "

"It's cheap, it's cheap, it's six dollars a pound, and it's too late."

Su Dalang looked at his second and third brothers, shouting vigorously there.

Su Dalang's personality is relatively shy, and he didn't open his mouth even if he was dead or alive.

Su Saburo looked at such a small family as his eldest brother, and bumped his eldest brother with his elbow, "Big brother, you have to shout when you sell something, if you don't shout, others don't know what you sell, don't you just come!" ”

Su Dalang looked up, and sure enough, someone came over after watching their board car.

"How can you sell this fish when it's so big?"

The person who asked was a slightly chubby man in his 30s.

Looking at the thick cotton robe he was wearing, and the leather boots on his feet, he looked like he was from a wealthy family.

"Nine Wen One Pound"

Boy! Su Dalang and Su Erlang's eyes widened directly.

When he was at home, he said that six cents a pound, how expensive is he? When this comes out, it becomes nine texts when others ask.

One of the two brothers pretended not to know his third brother, and the other wanted to bury his head in his feet.

Seeing that the person in front of him didn't speak after asking the price, Su Saburo continued, "Guest officer, look at how long this fish has to grow when it's so big."

If you can grow such a big fish, there are spiritual things. Not to mention that you can live for hundreds of years after eating this, there is always the effect of longevity every year! ”

The chubby man looked at the fish and saw that the fish was indeed fresh, and it seemed that it should taste good and nodded.

"Then weigh me ten pounds."

Su Saburo was about to go to the knife with a knife, but he saw that the slightly chubby man hurriedly stopped him.

"I want to cut another piece of fin down a little bit deeper here."

"Okay, guest officer, you know how to eat fish at first glance"

The piece of fish under the fin is the most delicious, especially the fin meat of the big fish, which is very delicious when stewed.

Su Saburo picked up the knife in his hand, cut off the part that the guest wanted, and gently hooked it to the scale with a bundle of hemp rope.

I found that there were more than two catties of more than two catties, "12 catties and four taels to remove the hemp rope is almost 12 catties and three taels, I will calculate 12 catties for you, do you think it can be done?" ”

The man nodded, took out two strings of money from the money bag on his waist, counted another eight words, and handed them to Su Saburo.

Su Saburo took it and counted a string of 50 texts, plus eight texts, just 108 texts.

"Slow Walk of the Guest Officer"

Su Saburo handed over the fish and sent his first guest away with a smile.

Su Dalang saw that the people were gone, so he asked his third brother in a low voice.

"Third brother, didn't you say that the six cents are high? How can you sell other people's nine texts? ”

Su Saburo looked at his big brother Hanhan, "I said big brother, you look at the way he wears, he is a rich man, a rich man definitely doesn't care about money, he cares about quality, of course the price is more expensive."

Do you think that our fish and meat have nothing to sell in this whole street, and he can eat a different taste for only a few pennies more, do you think this group of rich people will not want it? ”

Seeing that Su Saburo said that the head was the Tao, the two of them didn't speak again.

There were more and more people in the market, and the fish and meat of the three brothers of the Su family were also sold, and they were about to sell out.

At this time, several men who collected taxes surrounded them.

A few people looked at the opening in front of the board car and asked for 20 Wen, Su Dalang, although honest, is not a loser, and he is not willing to quarrel with others immediately.

Su Saburo hurriedly grabbed his brother and counted 20 from his pocket, and handed it out respectfully.

Another piece of fish was cut and handed over.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, our brother went back to the town to set up a stall. He doesn't understand the rules, don't go to your heart, this is a little heart, don't be too little. ”

The eldest brother who took the lead saw that this kid was so good, looked him up and down, and then took the fish and meat.

"Yes, yes, which village will not come next time?"

Su Saburo hurriedly replied respectfully: "From Taoliu Village, next time I will have something else to sell." ”

"That's okay, your stall will still be set up here in the future, and I will calculate the cost of setting up a stall for you for a long time at that time, and you only need to pay eight cents each time."

Su Saburo thanked him again and again, and after a few people left.

Su Dalang asked indignantly: "Third brother, I see that other people's baskets of vegetables only charge one or two for each family, why do you want 20 wen for us?" Why did you give them so easily?"

"Big brother, they specified that they opened their mouths to charge us 20 wen when they saw that we were selling. If we don't give this money, I'm afraid that these few people in our pockets will not be able to protect it today. ”

Su Lao Er also chimed in:

"Big brother, you see that there are so many of them, there are three of us, and if you don't keep them together, you will suffer in front of them. "

"Yes, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, our village is far away, and there are no acquaintances here, so we can only do this."

Su Dalang nodded, and then two more people came, wrapped the rest of the fish and meat, and they packed up their things and planned to go back.

Only then did Boss Su remember, "Third brother, what do you say?" Will you come back to sell other things in the future? ”

"Big brother, you said that our family is so strong, I'm afraid that I will have to sell things in the future.

It's the magic bait, or my precious girl gave it to me."
