Chapter 423: Women are more valuable than their fathers
Jiang Xia and her great-grandmother were bargaining with the people at the purchasing office. Because there were two baskets of miscellaneous fish that were too lazy to separate and were packed together, it was difficult to price.
Mainly it was the grandma who was shouting, and Jiang Xia was watching with a smile.
My great-grandmother was fingering the fish in the basket and shouting the price: "Five yuan and eighty cents!"
Jin Ye: "Five yuan and seventy cents!"
Grandma: "Why do you keep asking for less? Five dollars and nine cents, do you want to take it? If you don't take it, forget it!"
If there weren't two to three thousand kilograms of dried fish that hadn't been fried, she wouldn't have done it. Take it home and dry it to make spicy dried fish!
Jin Ye: "The more you scream, the more you scream! Okay, five and eighty cents is five and eighty cents, both baskets are five and eighty cents! Okay? If not, forget it! I'm too lazy "Say it!"
Jiang Xia: "That's not possible. This basket is obviously a few pounds heavier. The two baskets cost a total of twelve yuan, okay?" I send you hundreds or thousands of catties of fish every day. Most of the time, my family doesn’t negotiate the price. It’s whatever price you ask, right?”
“Okay, okay, okay, the fish you raise is Is the grouper grown up? Can it be sold on New Year’s Eve? Remember to bring it to the purchasing office then and don’t secretly send it to the city dock.”
Because the Zhou family has always purchased various valuable groupers, snappers and other fish from the villagers and raised them in cages. After collecting them for so long, there are probably hundreds of them!
These fish sell well on New Year's Eve.
The price can sometimes double or triple.
And the supply exceeds demand, so many people are looking for connections to find someone to save a good fish for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner.
What is sold at this time is not only fish, but also favors.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Master Jin has already spoken. When the time comes, let me know how many you need, and I'll see if I can give you a few. Because there are two hotels in the city that have been booked."
Jin Ye: "..."
There are actually hotel reservations in the city?
Jin Ye took out a stack of money to settle the bill for Jiang Xia, totaling two hundred and sixty-five yuan and sixty-seven cents.
I just hauled in two nets of fish this morning. The first net was sold at a good price because it contained a large Zhanghong and two hundred catties of small yellow flowers. The second net was mostly skinned fish. Skinned fish are not valuable. , but it sells for more than 70 yuan in large quantities.
The golden pomfret is not for sale, nor are the mussels, nor are the scallops that Zhou's father and mother picked up from the sea, nor the octopus and various conches, so more than two hundred yuan is already a lot.
Jiang Xia: "Master Jin, round it off to two hundred and sixty-six. For that thirty-three cents, you can treat my grandma and me to eat sweets."
Master Jin said cheerfully: " Okay! If you have any good fish, bring it over!”
Jin Ye, who usually lives on a dime, directly gave Jiang Xia two hundred and two hundred and sixty-six yuan.
My great-grandmother only kept ten or eight small scallops and one or two pounds of the smallest conch. All the octopus she picked up was given to Zhou's mother, and the big scallops and conches were sold. Eight dollars and thirty-two cents.
Mr. Jin: "I'll round it up and give you eight dollars and three cents!"
My great-grandmother laughed and scolded: "You fart! Why are you rounding it off! I'll give you four or five cents! Give me the money! One cent." You can’t lose any points!”
Li Xiuxian came over because she wanted to ask Jiang Xia something, but she heard that Mr. Jin, who always had a high opinion of himself, spoke so kindly to Jiang Xia.
Usually when she meets Mr. Jin and greets him, he would not say anything to her.
Jiang Xia is respected wherever she goes because of her father.
Women are more valuable than their fathers!
From now on, Yingying will be the same as Jiang Xia.
She felt even more sad when she saw Lord Jin counting a large stack of unity to Jiang Xia.
Everyone went to sea together, and she didn’t even earn a fraction of Jiang Xia’s!
Jiangxia’s fraction is more than five yuan!
However, she also heard that the tapes and conches collected by her great-grandmother from the sea were sold for more than eight yuan, and she became less suspicious of her mother's family.
My grandma alone sold more than eight yuan. It was normal for the four of them to go to sea together and earn more than ten yuan.
Li Xiuxian came to Jiang Xia and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia has sold all the fish. I have cooked the food. You can go back to eat."
Jiang Xia greeted her and then looked towards Own boat and tractor parking, Zhou Chenglei and the others had already loaded all the golden pomfrets onto the tractor, and she said: "Okay, let's go back. Grandma, you can go back on the tractor too!"
"Okay, I'm too lazy to leave. ”
It takes ten minutes to walk back from the pier. With her great-grandmother here, it was hard for Li Xiuxian to ask any questions. After all, the family scandal should not be made public.
Zhou Chenglei came to pick up Jiang Xia and drove away on a motorcycle with Jiang Xia.
Dinner was cooked by Li Xiuxian. Only then did Jiang Xia find out about the food cooked by Li Xiuxian. The taste was really indescribable!
Seafood is delicious when boiled, but boiled shrimps can be cooked until they have no taste and are no longer fresh.
The steamed fish was also not tasty, too salty, and the meat was not tender and too old.
Other dishes are too salty.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but drink a large glass of water after eating a few mouthfuls.
Fortunately, Zhou Chenglei came back and steamed the scallops and boiled some snails and spicy snails.
Everyone was rushing to eat, which was a bit lacking. Except for the boiled shrimps cooked by Li Xiuxian, almost no one ate the other dishes.
Li Xiuxian didn't eat herself, she only ate the dishes cooked by Zhou Chenglei.
After dinner in the evening, Zhou’s mother invited someone to kill the fish. The fish was killed in the old house.
This work was compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia to take Zhou Zhou back to the new house to take a shower and sleep.
He stayed to kill the fish.
Li Xiuxian said immediately: "I will also take Yingying back to take a bath. It's cold. I'll help her wash it because I'm afraid she will catch a cold."
Zhou Chengsen: "Just let Yingying follow Xiaoxia there. You and I stay to help. Kill the fish! ”
< br>Li Xiuxian: "..."
Zhou Chengsen said to Jiang Xia again: "Xiao Xia, take Yingying with you! She will take a bath by herself."
Jiang Xia responded: " OK.”
Then she invited Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying to go back to the new house to take a bath and sleep.
After Zhou's mother and the others finished killing the fish, it was already nine o'clock. Zhou's mother and Zhou Chenglei planned to clean the yard before going back to the new house.
Zhou Chengsen said to them again: "Mom, fourth brother, you go back and take a shower and go to bed! I can just clean here. We and I will stay here tonight. Anyway, the quilt we slept on before is also there. Too lazy to move around.”
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Still living in the old house? Is it because the new house is not pleasant to live in?
Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is troublesome here!
Zhou Chenglei: "Xiaoxia has prepared the bed and quilt in the room. They are all clean. You can just sleep there without moving anything. Bathing here is not as convenient as there."
< br>Zhou Chengsen waved: "It's the same wherever you sleep. I've just boiled a pot of hot water. There's no inconvenience! You go back! Your second sister-in-law takes a bath first, and I'll just clean it up."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei didn't say much and handed the yard over to him.
Tonight's food was too salty. Jiang Xia probably wasn't full. He wanted to go back and stew an egg with milk and cook seafood noodles for her.
Li Xiuxian: "I'm going to ask Xiaoxia about something!"
Then she followed Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's mother back to the new house.
When Li Xiuxian found the second floor, Jiang Xia had just come out of the shower.
She was worried about Zhou Ying just now. She was afraid that she would catch a cold if she took too long a bath, and was also afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The direct-discharge water heater has such shortcomings, although she has asked Zhou Chenglei to install it outside the bathroom.
But if you take too long a bath in winter, water vapor poisoning also often occurs.
While wiping her hair with a towel, Jiang Xia asked: "What does the second sister-in-law want from me?"
On the occasion of New Year's Eve, I wish my friends that there will be "fish" every year in the old and new years. , good health every year!
Happy New Year’s Day!
