Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Xu Shiyan replied with a smile while wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve.

No matter what time it is, fine scale fish is a rare item, even in this year, it is not easy to see it, so he asked for two yuan a catty.

When the people around heard it, many people shook their heads, "It's expensive, it's too expensive. Pork is only [-] cents a catty. Your fish can sell six catties of pork."

Xu Shiyan shook his head when he heard the words, "Auntie, that's different, don't you have to ask for meat tickets for pork? There's only a small limit every month."

"I don't want meat tickets here. You can buy a stew and add some vermicelli, tofu and so on. The whole family can make it freely. How delicious is it?"

As soon as Xu Shiyan said this, many people nodded secretly, and it was reasonable.

Eighty cents of pork, not only meat tickets, but not much, if you go late, you can't grab it, so you can't spend it if you have money.

The forestry bureau is rich, with high wages and good treatment. The workers have money in their hands, but there are few votes and nowhere to spend it.

Buy a fish for a few dollars, go home and stew it in a pot, and then stew some rice or pancakes with noodles.

Chapter 8 Selling Fish

"Young man, it's cheaper, five yuan is too expensive, if it's cheaper, I'll buy one and go home."

If there is someone who is not short of money, think about it for a while and start bargaining.

"Auntie, you old Zhang retorted, if I don't give in, it's really not kind, how about it, four yuan and five, you choose the big one, how about it?"

Xu Shiyan didn't expect to sell it for five yuan a piece at first, he asked for a lot of money and paid back the money on the spot, so there was always room for bargaining.

The big guy calculated it in his heart, and the fifty cents would be four yuan and five yuan.

These fish are quite big, and there are always three and a half catties, so the calculation is only one yuan, three or four cents a catty, which is not bad.

"Come on, young man, pick up a big one for my aunt. It just so happens that our old man celebrates his birthday today, so we didn't rush to buy meat just now."

Someone really handed over four yuan and fifty cents and asked Xu Shiyan to pick a big one.

Xu Shiyan was also convinced, took the money, and picked a big one from it and handed it to others. "Auntie, look at this fish, it's still gagging. It's fresh, so feel free to eat it when you go back."

The old lady took the fish contentedly and left.

When the people around saw it, they were also a little moved, and some people tried to negotiate the price again.

But Xu Shiyan refused to give up the price, four yuan and fifty a piece, and he would get the money if he bought it.

This is the only business. Most of the sellers around are eggs and vegetables. How can there be such fresh fish?He is not stupid if he lowers the price again.

Let's sell things, depending on the atmosphere, a group of people surround it, as long as someone starts, someone will follow suit.

For four yuan and five fish, Xu Shiyan would not lower the price even if he killed it. A few people were so cruel that they simply paid for one.

After a while, four more were sold, and I didn't move much after that. After all, few people are willing to spend money.

The rest of the people didn't leave, they were all looking around, they were waiting.

How long can fish live out of water in this hot weather?Four and five yuan for live fish, what about dead ones?It is estimated that two or three yuan can be bought.

No one bought fish, but a group of people were whispering around. Xu Shiyan could probably guess it when he saw this posture.

Looking at the remaining fish in the basket, Xu Shiyan also hesitated, should he lower the price?Is it really waiting for the fish to die before dealing with it cheaply?

"Young man, if it's time to lower the price, let's lower the price. Let's see what time it is? After a while, we'll all go home for dinner. Who will buy your fish?"

"Don't say my aunt didn't remind you, you guys are buying and selling, and someone is going to catch it. That person should come later, let him catch it, and you have to pay a fine if the fish is gone."

"That's right, it's cheaper, three yuan a piece, we all buy it."

A few old ladies who wanted to pick up a bargain were chattering and bargaining there.

Xu Shiyan's sweat has already come down, basking in the sun, no matter how anxious he is, can he not sweat all over?

"Yo, what are you doing with so many people around?" Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

Xu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked where the sound came from.

I saw a person wearing a white Dacron shirt and light blue pants, who looked about 30 years old, white and fat, with a smile on his face.

Xu Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief if he didn't wear red armbands and didn't have a fierce face, then nothing happened.

"Brother, do you have a thin scale fish? It just came out of the water this morning, it's fresh." There are few fat people in this day and age, and this person is unusual at first glance.

"Yo, slender fish? Are you still alive? Why are you selling it?" The man immediately widened his eyes when he heard the slender fish, walked up to him in two steps, and carefully looked at the fish in the basket.

"Originally, it was said to be five yuan a piece. If the elder brother wants it, four yuan and five will do." Xu Shiyan didn't dare to say two yuan a catty anymore, and directly quoted four yuan and five.

The man stretched out his hand and rummaged through the basket, and sure enough they were still alive, "Four dollars, I wrapped it up, how about it?"

"Ah?" Xu Shiyan was taken aback, there were still ten fish in the basket, Baoyuan?What does this man do?Who can eat so much? "Brother, are you kidding me?"

The man raised his head and glanced at Xu Shiyan, curled his lips, "Don't talk about you, if you double it, I want it too. Just say whether you want to sell it or not."

"Sell, sell." Ten fish will be rounded up directly, and the big customer belongs to it, so why don't you sell it?

"Okay, come with me, take the money." The man waved his hand, signaling Xu Shiyan to put his basket on his back and follow him.

When the group of spectators around saw it, they were not happy about it. "Hey, how can it be like this? We all want to buy fish, why did you wrap it up yourself?" Someone stepped forward to stop it.

"You are stupid, that is the head of the organization's logistics procurement team." A sharp-eyed person recognized the identity of that person.

Xu Shiyan was worried just now, afraid that the other party would lie to him, but when he heard that it was logistics procurement, he let go of his suspense.So he carried the basket on his back and quickly followed the man straight to the bureau compound.

"When the invoice is issued later, you will say two yuan per catty." Entering the agency compound, the man whispered something.

Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded quickly. "Hey, hey, I see, brother, don't worry."

Seeing Xu Shiyan being so upbeat, the man was very satisfied, he smiled and led Xu Shiyan to the logistics and finance department.

After weighing, invoicing, and paying, Xu Shiyan was asked to send the fish to the kitchen of the office cafeteria and pour it into a large tank filled with water.

"Old Chen, there is a fish with thin scales today. I will see your craftsmanship at noon, so I have to let the leader eat it." The fat man yelled at the back kitchen, and followed Xu Shiyan out.

When the two came to a secluded corner, Xu Shiyan hurriedly stuffed the money he had withdrawn just now into the man's hand. "Brother, thank you, you must keep this."

Ten fish were weighed, totaling 37 catties. Xu Shiyan kept 40 yuan and gave the other 34 yuan.

The man was very satisfied with Xu Shiyan being so sensible, he took the money and put it in his pocket, and looked him up and down again. "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you selling fish before?"

"It's the first time I've come back from a big house, and I need money urgently for something at home, so I have to." Xu Shiyan replied with a smile.

The big house refers to the Dongjiangyan Brigade.

In 1910, Wang Fenglin, a large ginseng family, hired workers to cultivate ginseng and built a five-room workshop here. At that time, it was a very big house, so it was called a big house.

Because it is on the bank of Songhua River in Toudao, it was originally a production team of Xigang Brigade, located on the riverside to the east of Xigang Brigade, so it was named Dongjiangyan Production Team, and later became a brigade.

For the locals, Dongjiangyan may not know where it is, but when it comes to big houses, they all nod to know.

"Yo, it's a big house, that's a good place, the yellow smoke in your place is good." The other party's eyes lit up.

The big house has good water, soil and climate, which is more suitable for the growth of yellow smoke. The quality of the yellow smoke produced is particularly good, and it is famous far and wide.

"Yes, yes, it's not the time yet. I'll send two handfuls to my elder brother when the yellow smoke is cut and dried in autumn." If you have two lives, if you don't have this kind of vision, then your work is in vain.

"I don't know your eldest brother's name? You see, I didn't bring anything with me when I went out.

Brother, the five yuan is my sympathy, you buy a pack of cigarettes. "Gritting his teeth, Xu Shiyan took out another five yuan and handed it to the man.

Chapter 9 Earned Money

The fat man was very satisfied with Xu Shiyan's understanding and understanding, and nodded repeatedly.

"My surname is Guo. You heard it just now. I'm in charge of logistics and purchasing. By the way, how many fish are there in your river?" He reached out to take the money and asked seemingly casually.

Xu Shiyan understood, and immediately replied, "It's okay, I can hang nets, and I can always catch a few each time, but not all of them are fine scales."

The man nodded, "Well, you send me fish every other week, preferably with thin scales, carp is nothing interesting."

It's not that carp is not delicious, the key is that it is cheap and there is no profit.

"Hey, hey, okay, thank you Brother Guo, don't worry, I will definitely pick the best one and send it to you." Xu Shiyan was very happy.I didn't expect to be lucky today and meet a big client.

One delivery per week, based on today’s calculation, can earn 40 yuan per trip, what about a month?Isn't it more profitable than going to the Da'an Coal Mine?

Moreover, if you take this line, there may be other benefits in the future, and the five yuan is not a loss.

"Sure, I'm still busy, so I won't keep you. Come back another day, brother, I'll treat you to a drink." This is purely polite, and no one needs to take it seriously.

Xu Shiyan naturally didn't take it to heart, he just thanked the other party, and left the bureau compound with the basket on his back.

As soon as I came out from here, I saw that the open space just now was empty, and there was a man in a blue uniform with a red armband shouting at the other end.

Xu Shiyan secretly rejoiced that it was thanks to this guy surnamed Guo, otherwise he would catch so many fish and let these people catch them if they didn't keep them all.

Even if you can get away, but the business cannot be done, what to do with so many fish?

With 57 yuan in his pocket and an empty basket on his back, Xu Shiyan walked briskly into the store.

Tomorrow, I want to accompany my daughter-in-law back to the house, so how can I go empty-handed?Why don't you have to buy something.

Two catties of trough cake, two bottles of wine, and two cans, this time the door gift is considered generous enough.

In addition, buy some things you need to live in, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. If you don’t want a ticket, you can buy some. If you want a ticket, there is nothing to do.

When I turned around and saw cosmetics sold at the counter over there, I thought of my little daughter-in-law again.Although the daughter-in-law is only 22, her skin is very fair and fair, and she needs to take care of it.

Friendship brand cream, Xie Fuchun hair oil, colorful balm, all have a portion.

Just as I was about to go out, I saw a lot of people crowded there and didn't know what they were grabbing.Xu Shiyan leaned over curiously and found that he was grabbing fabric.

The broken flower is really good, it should be a defective product of the printing and dyeing factory's test machine, no ticket, one yuan and five feet, cheaper than fine white cloth, no wonder so many people are scrambling to grab it.

"What are you grabbing for? Stay back and go in line." The salesperson in this year is not used to it, and shouted angrily with a sullen face.

"Each person is limited to five feet, and you are not allowed to choose colors and patterns. Everyone prepares one yuan, pays the money and takes the cloth and leaves. If anyone squeezes again, I will kick him out."

When the people in front of the counter heard this, they all lined up obediently, and Xu Shiyan took the opportunity to sneak in as well, standing in the middle of the line.

When it was Xu Shiyan's turn, it happened to be a piece of cloth with pink and light green small florals. The color was quite vivid, but the patterns were misplaced.For one yuan, it is not a loss to buy it.

After spending nearly 20 yuan, I bought everything I could buy, so I carried the basket on my back contentedly and walked all the way back.

The return trip went downhill all the way, things were not that heavy, so I walked faster and passed Jiang Daojia, almost 01:30.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back. Is there any food at home? I didn't eat at noon." Xu Shiyan asked loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Shiyan called out, and two people came out from Westinghouse, Su Anying and her mother-in-law Zhou Guilan.

"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Shiyan was taken aback when he saw his mother.

"Come and see you two." Mrs. Xu sighed and took out ten yuan from her pocket.

"Your father's stubborn old man can make him mad. Use the money first, and go back home with Yingzi tomorrow. At least buy two things. Don't embarrass your father-in-law."

The old lady was worried about her son and daughter-in-law, so she came here to take a look and give some money to save her son from embarrassment.

"Mom, you don't need to give me money, I have it. I've already bought everything for returning home tomorrow, look." Xu Shiyan unloaded the basket and handed it to his mother.

There are a lot of things in the back basket. Zhou Guilan took a look and found at least 20 yuan.

"Where did you get these things? This, is this the proper way? San'er, we don't care whether we live rich or poor, but we must never do such wicked things."

Zhou Guilan was taken aback, for fear that her son would be confused for a while and not do a good job.

"Mom, come in and tell me." Xu Shiyan carried the basket in one hand, supported his mother in the other, followed Su Anying, and the three of them entered the west room and closed the door to talk.

"Mom, this is the money I used to sell fish in Songjiang River in the morning." Xu Shiyan told his mother all about his fish sale without hiding it.

"Mom, don't worry, the money must have come from the right place, and your son got it in exchange for his ability. Don't you know what kind of child you raised yourself?" After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to comfort his mother.

When she heard that the money was not stolen, Zhou Guilan breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, that was wrong, it was speculation, and it would be terrible to let people catch her.

"I'm all blaming your father, that old ghost, what's the fuss?" An angry Zhou Guilan complained.

"How far have you pushed the child? If you can live on, how can you take such a risk? If this is caught, it will be fine?" Zhou Guilan felt sorry for her son, and she shed tears as she spoke.

"Hey, Mom, why are you crying? I'm just selling some agricultural and sideline products, and I'm not just throwing away some urgent supplies. It's okay." Xu Shiyan saw it and hurriedly persuaded him.

"From now on, I'll deliver it directly to the office cafeteria, and I won't sell fish outside, so don't worry." Xu Shiyan talked hard, and finally persuaded his mother.

Zhou Guilan stopped her tears, and only then remembered that her son had said that she hadn't eaten yet.

"Yingzi, is there any food at home? The third child said just now that he hasn't eaten yet. He's been busy for a long time, hurry up and get him something to eat."

"Yes, the big porridge cooked at noon is probably still warm right now, so I'll clean it up right now." Su Anying came out of the west room and cleaned up the food for Xu Shiyan.

The big ballast porridge is ready-made, put it into a thick bowl, cut two slices of pickles, go to the field to pick up a green onion, and deal with it for a meal.
