Chapter 38 Moved to Shicheng
"How to sell this big silver carp? It must be ten kilograms, right?"
"This one costs eight yuan." Li Long said with a smile, "The others Big fish, carp, Wu Dao Hei, grass carp cost two a piece, and silver carp cost a dollar a piece.”
With the experience of selling fish yesterday, the fish Li Long got this time were all more even in size and looked about the same. It's big and not easy to cause disputes.
Many people looked at the big fish with envy, but no one bid. However, two big carps were quickly sold, and the knowledgeable ones took away the only three five-dao black ones in the stall.
Then more people will look at it and less people will buy it. Li Long took the opportunity to glance around and found that the person selling tickets and cards was still there, and the meat stall was also crowded. It was probably the Chinese New Year, and everyone wanted to weigh some meat.
There are also people selling grain, but there are fewer people at the stalls selling other things.
More than half an hour later, the sky was getting brighter, and more than half of the big fish were out of the stall. There were people around, but when they pointed at the big silver carp, no one bought it.
"Little brother, your silver carp is too big. I can't eat it even if I buy it. Can you just sell me a fish head?" Someone said, "There's no meat in the fish head anyway. You Sell it to me for two yuan?”
“That won’t work.” Li Long refused hurriedly. Unlike Bai Cun, Hua Cun has a big fish head and is very good at making soup. Is this person bullying him? "The fish head is a good thing. If you take it away, it will not be good for others. Of course, you can pay more. The fish head is five yuan."
The head of this big silver carp weighed three to four kilograms, and Li Long's asking price was a bit harsh.
The man made a sound and made no further bid.
After a while, someone came over and bought a carp and a silver carp. Only the big silver carp and two white silver carp weighing more than two kilograms were left on the stall.
Looking at the people starting to disperse, Li Long knew that was pretty much it here.
There are few people in the county, and even fewer people dare to come to the black market to buy things. The purchasing power market is only so big. After thinking about it, he simply rolled up the fish and left.
When he came to the carriage, he said to Tao Daqiang, who was walking back and forth to warm up:
"Let's go to the big meat restaurant."
A total of seventeen and a half yuan was sold. Li Long was in the big meat restaurant. I bought six meat buns and the two of them ate while heading towards Shicheng.
Tao Daqiang was still hesitant as he walked:
"Brother Long, why not just find a family home in the county and sell it like yesterday? Go to Shicheng, we will be in the dark..."< br>
"No, just go to Shicheng. The families and institutions here are all well-connected. If you encounter someone with bad intentions, if you report it, we will be arrested, including everyone.
There are many factories in Shicheng. The family members don’t care about this, and the workers have money, so it’s easy to buy fish, but the road is a long way.”
The road is indeed long, and by the time we arrive at Shicheng, it’s almost twelve o’clock.
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar yet familiar city, Li Long just sighed secretly and led the carriage to the farmyard of the agricultural machinery factory.
Although the agricultural machinery factory also has unified purchasing and sales at this time, it seems that it will also engage in some OEM and repair work. Anyway, there is definitely no shortage of money.
Still asking Tao Daqiang to park the carriage outside the family courtyard, he rushed in with a urea bag on his back.
The guard was an old man. He saw Li Long rushing in and stopped him. Li Long smiled and said:
"Master, I will send some fish to my uncle..."< br>
“Fish?” The old man’s eyes lit up when he heard there were fish, “What are you carrying on your back?”
“Hey.” Li Long put down his urea bag and opened it for the old man to see. , "They are all big fish."
"So many? Who are you giving them to? Sell me two. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's hard to cook New Year's Eve dinner without fish."
"Two yuan a piece." Upon hearing this, Li Long hurriedly followed the lead. Climbing, "Silver carp is cheaper, one dollar and a half." "This price... is not bad." The old man was also happy in his heart. In fact, it was already very cheap. Although the factory has given out welfare benefits, how can the hairtail frozen in the ice compare to this big carp with a red head and a red tail?
Bought two carps with money, and the old man exposed Li Long:
“Young man, you are here to sell fish, right? Okay, go in, Just don’t go into the building.”
"Thank you, uncle!" Li Long said sweetly, and hurriedly picked up the bag and walked inside.
The family courtyard is not big, with two buildings, each with two units. There are a few children in the courtyard beating old cows, and they are a little curious to see Li Long come in.
Li Long regretted not bringing some fruit candies, but now he had to coax him. He walked to the child, opened his pocket and said:
"Children, what do you want? Don’t want to eat fish? I have big fish here. If you want to eat it, go home and tell your family to buy it with money. This fish is cheap!”
The children were dubious, and a little boy suddenly shouted. One sound:
"I want to eat, I'll go find my mother!" After saying that, he ran into the corridor.
Two of the other children also ran away. The rest didn’t know whether they had enough at home or were not interested in fish. They just took a look and continued playing.
Li Long was waiting there. At this time, someone came in from outside the door. Li Long saw that it was a middle-aged man. He knew that these days, women are basically the ones cooking, and men rarely take care of the kitchen. I didn't go up to say hello.
But the man came over and asked:
"I heard from Uncle Li that you are selling fish?"
"It's me." Li Long looked at this person with some vigilance.
“Let me see what kind of fish it is.” The man came over.
Li Long saw that this man was a cadre, and was worried that the other party wanted to detain him. However, considering that he was young and strong, he could not catch fish at all, so he opened his pocket and showed him.
"The fish is good, quite fresh." The man picked at the gill cover of a fish and asked, "What's the price?"
"Silver carp is one yuan for five yuan, and the others are two yuan." Li Long said.
"The price is quite high." The middle-aged man said, "The fish seller who came here two days ago is about the same size as you. It costs one yuan a fish. Your price is too high."
Li Long sneered, There is a water source near Shicheng, the Ma River. If you try to catch fish through holes in the ice there in winter, you may not be able to catch two or three fish a day. And the nearest reservoir is 40 to 50 kilometers away from the city, which is farther than my home. Does anyone really want to catch fish here and sell them for one dollar a fish? Three dollars is impossible!
This man is full of nonsense!
However, he did not expose it and said with a smile:
"First of all, my fish is fresh, I just caught it yesterday. Secondly, this big carp with red head and red tail is rare and looks festive. , it would be great to make a plate for the Chinese New Year and put it on the table. Thirdly, I earn my hard-earned money. It takes two or three hours to break open one meter of ice, and it takes half a day to wait for the fish to come. I can’t catch a few fish in a day. …”
"Oh, you're still talking clearly." The middle-aged man didn't expect Li Long to speak so logically. Just as he was surprised, a child pulled down his mother's sleeve and came to Li Long:
"Mom , I will eat this fish!"
Seeing the fish, the woman looked at it and asked:
"How to sell the fish?"
"A piece of silver carp? Five, the other two pieces.”
"In terms of kilograms? So expensive?"
"In terms of strips."
"That's really cheap, give me two!"
Okay, open again!
