Chapter 33 Today is perfect
Next, Li Long sold five more fish at the entrance of the big meat restaurant. One of the carps was a bit small. The other party didn't want the small fish, so he charged him 80 cents.
Obtained six yuan and eighty cents.
Li Long thought this was not bad, but a man in a Chinese tunic suit came out of the big meat canteen and spoke very kindly:
"Little brother, I said, little brother, you sell here We have no problem with it, but it’s against policy right now. Can you go somewhere else?”
The people tried to persuade him nicely, but Li Long couldn't resist, so he smiled and said:
"Okay, brother, we'll leave right away."
The two men pulled the sledge and headed east.
"Brother Long, where should we go next?" Tao Daqiang asked, looking at the bag with one third of the fish still in it.
"Go to the Family Courtyard." Li Long said with a smile, "Go to the Food Bureau Family Courtyard first." He remembered that at this time, a Grain Bureau and a Supply and Marketing Cooperative were both considered wealthy units. I don’t dare to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for fear of being reported, but it’s still okay to go to the Grain Bureau.
The Grain Bureau is in the east of the county. There are three buildings in the yard. The entrance is on the roadside. When Li Long and the others came over, the big iron gate was open. Li Long pulled the sledge in. Someone stuck his head out of the window of the house at the gate. Come and ask:
"What are you doing?"
"Looking for my uncle to give you something." Li Long responded, and the man shrank back again.
It's too cold outside.
After entering the yard, Li Long pulled the sledge and started looking for people. Someone came down from upstairs, and he immediately went over to ask.
After a while, I sold five or six fish.
But I didn’t get all the money. Two fish were exchanged for several kilograms of corn noodles and two kilograms of white flour.
Li Long thought this was a good idea and started to ask people when he met him:
“I have fresh fish to sell. I can exchange it for rice and noodles!”
I heard that I can exchange it for rice and noodles. , someone started asking:
"How do you change it?"
"My big fish are all two kilograms, so I can exchange them for two kilograms of rice. Of course, three kilograms of noodles will also work. If not, six kilograms of corn noodles will also work."
< br>It is not easy to eat something meaty at this time, so some people bring rice noodles in exchange, which are basically corn noodles. There are also a few people who use rice and white noodles in exchange, but there are still few.
But not long after, a man in his fifties came out from the gate concierge, pointed at Li Long and the others and shouted:
"Get out quickly! If you don't get out, I'll call someone to arrest you. Catch him!”
Li Long said hurriedly:
"Hey, uncle, uncle, I'll leave right away - come on, come on, I'll get you a fish, thank you!" Li Long signaled Tao Daqiang to hurry up and settle the matter of rice and noodles. Then he took out a silver carp weighing about one kilogram from the urea bag and handed it over.
The other party hesitated for a moment and took it, but still said:
"You hurry up and leave. It's about to get off work. When the leader comes, you will be in trouble, and I will be in trouble too!"< br>
Li Long smiled and said:
"Let's go now. We'll go right away."
After replacing the rice noodles, Li Long and Tao Daqiang pulled the heavier sledge out of the gate.
There are still a few silver carps and some smaller crucian carps left that no one wants. Silver carp has too thin bones and is too troublesome to eat. Crucian carp is too small and does not have much meat, so it is disliked by others.
"Brother Long, what to do with the remaining fish?" Tao Daqiang asked, looking at the rice noodles on the sledge.
I feel like I have never seen so much rice and white noodles.
Although the production team also grows rice, the amount of rice and flour distributed is not much.
Tao Daqiang was a little excited.
“Sell, keep selling.” Li Long looked at the sky and said, “Find a place to sell out all the fish, let’s go back.”
“No one wants this fish. Right?" Tao Daqiang saw with his own eyes that these fish were being pushed around, and they were all disliked.
“Don’t worry, someone will want it.” Li Long smiled, pointed at the figure in the distance behind and said, “Believe it or not, if I just shout out now that the fish is a dime a piece, they will definitely come over. Grab.”
Tao Daqiang looked at the people who were following them faintly and asked curiously:
"Why are they following?"
"It's a bargain. Thinking if we can't sell it, If you throw the little fish away in the end, they will definitely come to pick it up. "Li Long had encountered similar things in his previous life, and he knew what these people were thinking.
"Then where should we sell fish?" Tao Daqiang finally set his sights on fish.
"Follow me." Li Long said as he walked, "There used to be big households in our county. Go there and ask."
The county seat is an ancient city. It was first established in the Qianlong year. From then to now It has been hundreds of years, and it is not uncommon for a few wealthy families to emerge.
Although the wealth of the wealthy families has changed after some special years, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so Li Long pulled the sledge to the northeast of the city.
Old-fashioned yard with closed solid wood gate.
With the door closed, Tao Daqiang looked at Li Long.
"If you want to make money, don't be afraid of trouble." Li Long smiled and stepped forward to knock on the door.
After taking a few shots, someone shouted from inside:
“What’s going on? Stop knocking, here we come!”
“I sell fish, wild fish. "Do you want to buy it? If you don't want to buy it, please leave." Li Long said very politely.
"Wait for me to see." The speaker was in his sixties. He opened the wooden door and looked at the sledge.
"Silver carp, small crucian carp, what do you think?" Li Long took out all the fish in the urea bag.
"Not bad, not bad, this fish is good, it looks fresh, and the soup is good!" The old man nodded, "How do you sell it?"
"Silver carp costs eight cents each, and crucian carp piles "This pile must weigh two or three kilograms. Can you give me one piece?"
There are still five or six silver carps left, and there are not many crucian carps left. Li Long doesn't want to run away. The wood on his face was so cold that he was worried that if he stayed there any longer, he would get frostbite.
“Okay, the price is good, the silver carp is also good, the meat is fine and delicious.”
"You are such a good eater!" Li Long gave a thumbs up, "Shall I bring it in for you?"
"Okay." The old man went into the house to get the money, and Li Long took the fish in.
A total of six yuan was charged, and the old man chipped in the whole thing.
"There is delicious food today." The old man said happily.
Li Long took the opportunity to look at the yard. Although it was old, it was not easy to see the beams.
There are still three layers of nails in the broken ship. Although in some special times, layer after layer will be scraped off, there are always ways to deal with it.
This place is not simple.
After all the fish were sold, Li Long and Tao Daqiang pulled the sledge and walked back. As they walked, Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:
"Daqiang, when you go back, take a piece of meat, and then Get some rice, white flour and some cornmeal, and I’ll give you another ten dollars. The account will be settled today.”
Tao Daqiang’s efforts will definitely not be in vain. But when it comes to splitting the money between two people, Li Long is not a fool.
Given the things and money, he was already doing well.
“No, no, no, Brother Long, I’ll leave the money here with you. It’s enough for me to have rice, noodles and meat.” When Tao Daqiang heard that Li Long wanted to give him money, he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse. , "If I take too much, my dad won't let me come."
Well, Li Long knows that this is normal.
While passing by the grain and oil store, Li Long bought another bucket for 50 cents, filled it with five kilograms of vegetable oil, and then ran home.
