Chapter 728 Escape 33
In the center of the square, there is a large wooden basin where pigs are killed and shaved. There is a basin full of fish, and the captain is directing people to weigh it.
Half an hour later, all the fish were weighed.
The villagers cheered and crowded in front of the big wooden basin to line up.
The captain shouted with a loudspeaker, "Folks, please don't crowd. Every household has a share. Our fish is divided according to the head. Each person has a pound of fish. It's not a first-come, first-served basis. Don't crowd."
Someone said, "Captain, I have many relatives and many guests during the New Year. One catty of fish per person is not enough to eat."
"Then you spend your own money to buy it, thirty cents per catty."
< br>The captain picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "If you don't have enough food, you can buy it with money. Big fish costs 30 cents per catty, small fish and shrimps cost 10 cents per catty. With this money, we can The team will buy a few more pigs to raise next spring. "
"Captain, those small fish and shrimps are small, fishy, and hard to cook. I won't eat them if you give them to me. It’s only a cent a pound, who can buy it?”
“That’s right, captain, it’s a penny a pound, half of it is sold and the other half is given to us guys.”
The captain blew his beard angrily and glared, "The radish is only two cents a pound, but you want to eat fish for one cent. These small fish and shrimps are also meat dishes after all."
"I would rather eat the radish, I don’t want to eat small fish or shrimps either. Those things are hard to clean up and smell like hell.”
Yuanchun, who was last in line, listened to the voices of several old ladies in the village. Her mind was filled with fried fish, fried shrimp, fish sauce, shrimp paste...
It happened that Geng Dalin and his wife After arriving, Yuanchun called Geng Dalin to queue up. She went to the captain and bought twenty kilograms of small fish and shrimps.
Captain: "Mother Dalin, you don't have any relatives visiting during the Chinese New Year. You buy so many small fish and shrimps that you can't finish them all, which is a waste of money."
Yuanchun said with a smile, "After eating, after eating, I want to dry some dried small fish and shrimps to save for later when I am tired from work."
If it weren't for the fact that there were not many small fish and shrimps, Yuanchun wants to buy another twenty kilograms.
The captain looked up and took a look at the freezing cold weather, where there was no sun. Where could the sun come from to dry the fish? The captain wanted to give some more advice, but the squad leader on the side smiled and said, "Aunt Geng, you are the first person to buy small fish and shrimps. You can choose them yourself. You can choose whatever you want."
Oh, this is a good thing.
Yuanchun used a gourd ladle to scoop out a few ladles where there were many shrimps.
This small river shrimp, fried shallots, fried peanuts, and fried green garlic are all delicious.
Unfortunately, people in this era don’t know how to eat them. They think river shrimps have no meat and are just a shell, which is not delicious.
How do they know the fragrance of river shrimp?
Yuan Chun swallowed and scooped up two more gourds and gourds of small shrimps. The team leader weighed them, and they weighed twenty-six kilograms.
Yuanchun immediately took out two yuan and sixty cents and handed it to the accountant who was sitting there collecting the money.
"Gou Shengzi, let me weigh ten more big fish for my aunt." Yuan Chun smiled and pointed at the wild snakehead, grass carp, catfish... in the big basin and said, "I want three snakeheads, five grass carps, two There are also eight carp and small crucian carp. "
"Auntie, the price of small crucian carp and small fish and shrimps is the same."
"Five pounds then."
"Okay, Auntie, just wait. , I weighed it for you.”
After the team leader finished weighing the scales, Yuanchun took out two large coupons and gave them to the accountant. Before the accountant could change the money, someone shouted, "No, no, no, someone fell into the pond at the entrance of the village."
" "What?"
The captain was anxious and ran toward the entrance of the village, shouting, "The pond has just been fished and the ice is not solid yet. Who ran there?"
