Chapter 6 Selling Fish

When we reached the outskirts of the city, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.Tang Sixian, Hu Erlang and the others had different destinations, so they separated on the outskirts of the city.

From the outskirts of the city to the gate of the city, in addition to pedestrians who walked like Tang Sixian, there were also people pushing peace carts, riding donkeys, and driving ox carts.

In order to take care of life, he traveled in a hurry, and no one had time to talk to anyone.

There was a boat berthing at the pier by the river, and a group of strong and strong men hurried to the pier, fearing that they would be robbed of their jobs if they arrived late.

The morning market near the gate of the city is very lively, with some selling fruits and vegetables, and some selling groceries.Downs found a place where there were many people selling fish, and dumped the fish on the grass.

No wonder Hu Erlang was surprised, because her fish had been out of the water for more than an hour, but its vitality was still very tenacious, and it was still struggling and bouncing on the ground.

Then she started yelling: "Fish just caught, fresh fish, come and have a look!"

A woman saw her fish bouncing, compared to other fish that only occasionally moved their gills, she believed her words a little bit, so she leaned forward and asked, "How much is this?"

Tang Sixian has observed other fishermen selling fish, and they are basically sold very cheaply, even cheaper than meat.But she didn't have a scale, so she couldn't sell by the catty, so she said, "Twenty cents a piece."

The woman curled her lips: "Why don't you sell it by the catty, what if it's not enough?"

Tang Sixian grabbed a fish casually and said, "You take it and weigh it yourself. If the fish is less than one catty, I'll give you an extra one!"

The woman couldn't tell that twenty cents a piece of these fish was a bargain, so she picked and picked the biggest one and took it away.

As soon as she left the stall, an acquaintance saw the fish in her hand and said in amazement, "This is a herring? It's such a big one, it weighs two catties, right?"

The woman couldn't help being proud: "Yes, there is a fool who sells it for twenty cents a piece!"

As soon as she said that, many people rushed over to Tang Sixian's fish cheaply, for fear that the big fish would be snatched away.

Without the comparison of the largest fish, many people can't see the specific weight of the fish, so they can only buy the largest fish. In this way, Tang Sixian's live fish will soon only be left with a few catties. of fish.

She sold the rest of the fish for fifteen cents, and then moved her position.Taking advantage of the lack of people, he stuffed his hands into the bamboo louvers, and after a while, ten more fish appeared.It's just that compared with the live fish just now, this fish can no longer move.

There must be a comparison when selling things. The live fish just now was compared with other fish, so it sold quickly, but now it is a dead fish, so it can no longer be compared with those freshly salvaged fish.

So she randomly found a place with a lot of people, and occasionally yelled twice, and when someone came up to ask the price, she asked the other party to make an offer first, and then the other party hesitated and made three fingers.

Tang Sixian: "..."

Can you stop gesticulating with your fingers so I think we're making some shady deal!

Seeing that Tang Sixian didn't respond, the man had no choice but to say again: "Sixty Wen, no more, your mandarin fish is already dead, if it didn't look very fresh, I wouldn't give such a high price."

Tang Sixian was surprised from the bottom of her heart, but she pretended to be good, followed the man's words and negotiated the price again, and finally sold the fish as if she was at a loss.

After the man left, Tang Sixian picked up another fish with the same shape but much smaller to look at it, vaguely remembering that the fish she sent out yesterday to thank the woman was the "mandarin fish" in the mouth.

So she just gave away the most expensive fish yesterday?

Tang Sixian didn't regret it, and she didn't blame the other party for not reminding her. After all, she didn't even recognize the fish, and she could only blame herself for not being good at learning.

In the next half an hour, she closed the stall after only selling two fish.In addition to worrying that the fish would become stale after taking it out for too long, she also saw two people in bureaucrat uniforms appearing in the morning market. They were tax collectors. The city management who collects taxes.

Generally, the tax for this kind of small business is one tax per ten, but it can't resist the arbitrary taxation.If Tang Sixian was caught by the other party, she would have to pay [-]% of the value of the proceeds as tax on how many fish she had in the bamboo house, plus other items, it was estimated to be [-]%.

She also earned 230 Wen today, which is more than enough compared to other fishermen. As she observed yesterday, the average fisherman gets up early and stays late, and there are not many big fish caught in a day. A basket only sells for forty renminbi, and if it is fresh and high-quality fish, it can sometimes be sold for tens of renminbi a catty.

If she didn't have a spiritual spring, relying on her personal ability, she might not be able to catch a few fish in a day.

——About the Lingquan, she actually didn’t know what was going on. She only knew that when she fell into the river and was unconscious, she had vaguely seen a space and a spring.

After she was rescued, she forgot about it when she woke up, until by chance, she discovered the existence of Lingquan and space, and then she took advantage of it.

Lingquan seems to be very attractive to animals, for example, a drop of Lingquan can attract fish of all sizes to scramble for it.Generally, when spring water drops are dissolved in river water, the effect will be reduced, but the scope of influence will be expanded.And like the fish she kept in the fish tank, after absorbing the spirit spring, their vitality seemed to be much stronger.

As for the space, only inanimate objects can be stored, and living things can only die if they enter.Of course, the things placed inside will not expire and deteriorate.

Although things like "there is a cheat in my body for no reason" are too unreal, but she has even encountered unscientific things like time travel, and she might not be too surprised if Ah Piao suddenly appeared one day.

After buying two catties of pork and some daily necessities, Tang Sixian embarked on his way back to the village.

The sun has risen high, but it is blocked by clouds and its outline cannot be seen.The temperature was also gradually rising, and Tang Sixian was sweating on his forehead, and his chest was still wrapped in a layer of cloth, which was so hot that he was sweating.

Back at the entrance of the village, someone poked her head into her bamboo tower, and she asked, "Do you want fish? For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

The man curled his lips, thinking: "Who is from your hometown."

There was some gloating on his mouth, "Is your fish not sold out? Does it stink?"

Tang Si sniffed enviously, frowned and said, "It doesn't smell like dead fish, but it smells a sour smell, which seems to be emitted by human beings."

After finishing speaking, he quickened his pace and left, only leaving him with a meaningful smile.

The man was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that she was saying that he was sour!

"Bah!" The man spat hard at her back.

When Tang Sixian returned home, he took out the things and put them down first. As for the meat, it was still stored in the space to keep it fresh.

After a busy morning, she was already hungry after only eating two steamed buns, so she prepared to cook some lunch.Naihe checked that there was only a little wood left in the kitchen, so she decided to go out and pick up some firewood.

There is a small piece of forest at the door, but the forest belongs to someone else's family, and she has no right to cut it down.The bamboo and wood that fell naturally in the periphery were basically picked up by the other two families. Bamboo was planted in the depths, and there were green bamboo leaves, so she didn't want to venture in.

After thinking about it, I had to go to the forest behind the village to pick it up.There are orchards over there, and there are woodcutters to chop firewood. Snakes, rats and ants have long been forced to retreat to the deep mountains, where they are relatively safe.

She took the bamboo basket and picked up suitable firewood when she saw it along the way.She was also accompanied by some children from the village. They were afraid that the firewood would be picked up, and these children moved very sluggishly.

Tang Sixian straightened up, supported his waist and sighed: "This job is very unfriendly to old guys like me."

"puff".

The familiar laughter came again, and Tang Sixian turned his head, only to find himself running to the outskirts of an orchard.

There are a lot of citrus in the orchard, but because the season is not yet here, there are only white flowers on the plants, but no citrus.The slender and beautiful figure behind the tree poked out its upper body, and the smile on its face almost outmatched the flowers on the branches.

Through the low bamboo fence, Tang Sixian saw the woman he met by the river yesterday again.

Although for a moment, she felt that this woman was more beautiful than flowers, but then she remembered her mandarin fish worth tens of pennies, and her mood was not so beautiful.

"Little lady, that fish..."

Seeing her pained look, Qin Zhen knew that she already knew the value of the fish.

Qin Zhen said without any shame, "I ate it. Thank you, the fish is very tender and delicious."

Tang Sixian: "..."

She forced a smile, "That's good."

Qin Zhen deliberately teased her: "Aren't you going fishing today?"

"I can't catch this fish every day. If I catch it every day, I will run away when I see the fish."

Qin Zhen almost couldn't help laughing again, she covered her mouth lightly and coughed to dissolve the smile.

Tang Sixian thought to himself, "This little girl is really in poor health, and I don't know if Lingquan can improve the human body."

She hasn't studied the Lingquan deeply yet, because she doesn't want to use it too often and too much to attract others' attention, so yesterday was the fourth time she used it.As for the effect on the human body, it has not been tested.

If the human body uses it effectively...

Tang Si glanced at Qin Zhen enviously.

"I don't know her well, why should I use it for her?" Downs cursed enviously.

After Qin Zhen coughed, his voice became softer and more delicate, "Are you collecting firewood? There are a lot of firewood in my fruit forest."

"Why is this so embarrassing? Since the young lady is very kind, then I will not be polite."

Qin Zhen saw that half of her leg had stepped over the fence, and said again: "But our family has picked them up."

Tang Sixian: "..."

The author has something to say: the king with a cannonball VS the black and white lotus with a belly, and the black belly wins.

-

Fish... blindly sold.

The price of fish...is semi-fictitious, because some fish in historical materials are a hundred yuan a catty, some fish are thirty yuan a catty, and some times the price is different, so the price has risen. Here, the price of grass carp in our town is 20 yuan per catty. measure.
