The next day Li Long got up half an hour earlier than the day before. Qiulu was a bit heavy, and both Li Long and Tao Daqiang were wearing coats. This kind of weather also explains why the fruits in northern and southern Xinjiang are so sweet - when they are dried at night, the sugar content is not stable, but when it is hot during the day, the sugar accumulates and cannot be dispersed, so it is sweet.
The two men drove the carriage to Dahaizi. Li Long went down to get the net, and Tao Daqiang was waiting on the shore.
The tire rowed to a place with nets. Before Li Long started to take out the nets, he was basically sure that with ten nets today, the fish might be the same as yesterday, or even more than yesterday.
As far as the eye can see, we can see some silver carp hanging on the net with their belly turned white and floating on the water.
More fish are still entangled in the net and struggling to see if they can escape.
Li Long started to fetch the net. He pulled the net rope. The net was very heavy and dragged him forward. The fish followed the net and left the water one by one. It was very heavy.
Li Long stroked the net and put it into the urea bag, feeling quite complicated.
Plenty of fish is a good thing, but it’s not easy to get it home from here. You can’t come here in a carriage every day, right?
Actually, it’s not impossible.
Last night Li Jianguo actually wanted to give the money from selling the fish to Li Long, but Li Long confiscated it. He said that before, Li Qingxia kept the money from selling the fish himself, and so did his elder brother here.
It is said that the accounts are settled clearly by the brothers, but it is impossible to settle the accounts so clearly. Otherwise, if we really have to calculate it and raise ourselves from the age of ten to now, how can we calculate it?
He just wanted to subsidize the life of his eldest brother's family. After all, he had a good life here, and he also hoped that his eldest brother's family would have a better life.
The nets were put away one by one. This time, if there were two nets, they had to be sent back once. When he received the third net, Li Long was sure that the fish on the net this time were real. Even more than yesterday.
There is a net almost every one or two meters on the Internet, and there is even a net less than one meter away. I don’t know whether so many fish form a school and hit the net together, or whether the fish in the tank itself are just the same. There are many, and the place is right, that’s why it is like this.
But thinking about the situation two months later in the previous life, it is not a surprise.
"Brother Long, there are so many fish here!" After collecting the four nets, Tao Daqiang pulled Li Long out of the water and said, "Let me choose the fish here first. It will be easier to go back."
"Well, there are a lot of bags anyway. Get a urea bag and put some water in it. Let's choose first." Li Long knew that Tao Daqiang didn't want to idle here, so just choose.
It took more than an hour to take out all ten nets. Li Long knew that although it might be earlier than yesterday to sell fish today, it was still later than usual.
Looks like I have to get up early tomorrow.
It’s really frustrating.
Of course, this is just what he said, and it’s not too late for others to envy him.
The carriage passed through the residential area again, this time much earlier than yesterday, and not many people were seen. Li Long and Tao Daqiang hurried on their way, and they passed by without saying hello to some.
Just one word: urgent to go home - urgent.
Back at Li’s house, the whole family got together to choose fish. Even Li Juan and Li Qiang, who had eaten, helped to get basins and bags to put on the bench. Then Li Juan took Li Qiang to school. .
Tao Daqiang has selected more than 30 kilograms of fish on the shore of Dahaizi, and the amount of two nets has reduced the burden a lot.
"Brother, you have to sell fish today." Li Long said, looking at more fish than yesterday.
"Then...the team will go out to work today..."
"What's that little work? I can just go." Liang Yuemei said, "Just go sell fish. This fish How can you let Xiaolong carry it alone? Say you sell fish for a few hundred jobs, which one is lighter and which one is heavier? "
Li Jianguo knows this. Mainly as the elder of the village, he basically has no shortage of big and small things, so he doesn't work at this time. , a bit uncomfortable.
Li Long knew that the eldest brother had not completely changed from the collective thinking to the small family thinking, so he said again:
"Brother, our family has contributed a lot to the team. If you don't earn this little work, others will be happy. Now that the collective is about to be disbanded, the higher authorities have called on everyone to find ways to live a good life. You, the village leader, can also be counted. Give the team members a lead."
Li Jianguo nodded: "Then I definitely know."
That's it.
Li Long was quite happy.
Sure enough, after finishing selecting the fish, Li Long knew that the four bags would not fit.
"Crucian carp can survive. Put the carp, silver carp, and five black carps in four bags on both sides of the bicycle. Put the crucian carp in two bags and lie flat on the back seats of the two bicycles." Li Long said, "Get to the right place. Then directly take the crucian carp Just pour it into a basin, tie the bag and put some water in it. The crucian carp will definitely survive. "
"That's all. "Although there are many fish, if you want to eat fish, just keep two or three at home." I can’t eat more than that. Moreover, both the Li family and Tao Daqiang's family, who were used to eating fish from Xiaohaizi, looked down upon the fish from Dahaizi.
"There are still some left. Daqiang will take some back, give some to Uncle Luo, and give some to Xiaoxia's father." Li Long said.
"I don't want it." Tao Daqiang immediately refused, "This fish is not as delicious as Xiao Haizi's, I don't want it anymore."
"Okay." Li Long didn't force it.
He and Li Jianguo had a hurried breakfast, then rode their bicycles and took the fish to their respective destinations. Liang Yuemei went to work on the wheat field, and Tao Dayong continued to collect nets.
For five yuan a day, the work was not too tiring, and Tao Daqiang was very satisfied.
Li Long arrived in Shicheng a little earlier than yesterday. At this time, both the stalls and the flow of people were more than yesterday. He walked around, found an empty seat, set up the car, took down the basin, and started to go Pour fish inside.
The three basins are full, and there is still fish left in the urea bag. Fortunately, the water in the bag hasn't finished dripping yet, so I don't have to worry about the fish spoiling. Li Long could even hear the flapping of fish inside. Before he started shouting, two people wearing Chinese tunic suits, armbands and bags in their hands came over.
"Comrade, are you planning to sell fish here?" one asked Li Long.
"Yes." Li Long looked at the two people and had a guess in his heart.
"We are from the Laojie Market Management Office." The person asking the question introduced himself, "From today on, you will need to pay a stall fee to set up a stall here. Please pay it."
< br>"How much?" Li Long asked, "All stalls have the same price, or do they charge according to the situation?" ?”
“These fish are all yours?” The man said, “It depends on the value of the things you sell. If you have more, you will be charged 50 cents. , the price may be less than two or three yuan when sold out, so I’ll charge you 10 cents... If you have a ticket.”
The words were quite polite.
“If you set up a stall for a long time, you can pay for it for one month, which is cheaper at five yuan.” Another person added, “We will issue long-term invoices and have registration.”< br>
"I may not come every month." Li Long waved his hand, "Let's do it according to the weather."
"Then fifty cents." These two people spoke very simply and did not force themselves.
"Okay, I'll pay. Please make an invoice." Li Long paid.
Li Long's straightforward payment surprised the two of them. The latter quickly took out a stack of tickets from his bag, took out the carbon paper and padded it again, then put it on the bag and started writing.
Li Long took out the money from his pocket, counted out fifty cents and handed it to the other party.
"Comrade, thank you for cooperating with our work. We have people patrolling here. If you encounter anything, you can come to us directly to solve it." The person who asked the question before was very polite.
Li Long guessed that he paid the money so readily, which surprised the two of them.
After all, this stall has always been there, and no money was collected before. Now that it is suddenly being charged, some people will definitely not be happy.
Li Long and his two generations can certainly understand. After all, after these people set up their stalls, when the venue ends in the evening, there will definitely be garbage left on the ground, which will definitely need to be cleaned up. There are stalls on both sides here, and the flow of people is large, which will affect traffic and is prone to problems, so people need to be sent to patrol, and it cannot be a group of people who can't take care of them.
Now that we have begun to maintain order, why not just go with the flow and form a market here directly, and manage and constrain it, which is better than letting things flow.
In a few years, shops were built on both sides of this old street, becoming a landmark building complex in Shicheng.
This has been the most visited place in Shicheng for a long time.
Taking advantage of the situation, in Li Long's opinion, Shicheng leaders have done a good job here in Laojie.
After paying the management fee, Li Long took the ticket and put it in his pocket. After the two people left, he started selling fish.
My voice became much more confident.
The people on both sides looked at Li Long strangely.
On the right is a vegetable seller. While Li Long was shouting, he asked:
“Young man, why don’t you bargain with them?”
"Why bargain? Can you still bargain on this?" Li Long was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, did you bargain with them just now?"
"Yes." The sister-in-law nodded and said, "They charged me a dime. I just want it to be cheaper."
"Is it cheaper?" Li Long asked.
“No.”
“Haha, let’s end it then. We can’t talk about it anyway, so what else can we talk about.” Li Long smiled, “Anyway, fifty cents is less than one cent. The price per kilogram of fish is fine, I think.”
"But if you want to bargain, then I can follow up and talk about it. Maybe I will get five points..." The sister-in-law was still a little unwilling.
"Impossible." Li Long waved his hand, "Since the ticket has been issued, how can I refund it?"
He stopped discussing this issue with the sister-in-law and continued to shout loudly. .
The voice is loud and there are many regular customers. It’s still early today. Li Long’s fish stall opened soon, and the first person who came over immediately asked to buy ten kilograms of large carp. This made Li Long Very happy.
He guessed that this person was from the hotel, but he didn’t ask. When someone wants money, just say it yourself. Talking too much can easily cause annoyance.
After weighing ten kilograms of carp, more and more people gathered around. Li Long skillfully weighed the fish and collected the change. At the same time, he also dealt with people who wanted to take advantage of them. Soon, he sold two or three pieces. Ten kilograms of fish.
This speed is not bad! (End of this chapter)
