Chapter 9 Selling fish in the wet market
If you want to say that swan meat is delicious, it is not the case.
Zhou Jimin cannot determine how much the price may be sold, and it depends on the buyer.
Of course, he is more inclined to sell the big goose than stew it.
The most important thing is to be afraid of trouble.
These days, although hunting swans is not illegal, I am afraid that people in Siheyuan will gossip.
If someone says that the swan was caught by it by eating bait, no one will believe it, but if someone says it was stolen, then everyone believes this statement even more.
As for what I bought, there are really not many people supporting them these days.
So, Zhou Jimin, who had the decision, told his decision to his younger brothers and sisters.
And he reminded them not to tell people about swans, just pretend that this has never happened.
"A few days later, I will buy a big rooster with the money I sold for swans. Will we eat chicken legs then?"
When he heard that he could eat chicken legs, Zhou Shumin's eyes suddenly shone.
But immediately, my eyes were staring at the swan again, feeling quite reluctant.
"But brother, I haven't tasted swan meat yet."
"Little goldfish, look how stupid this swan is? It fell directly into our hands. If you eat it, won't you become stupid in the future? Do you want to become stupid?"
"In no mood!"
"Since I don't want to, I'll sell it. I'll exchange it for money. Let's eat chicken legs. Will it be good for my brother to buy big goose again during the Chinese New Year?"
"good!"
The two siblings asked and answered each other, and the matter was settled.
Zhou Shuqing and the third brother didn't interrupt and looked at the elder brother coaxing the little goldfish.
Looking at the sun by the mountain, Zhou Jimin said, "You can wait for me here. I will borrow a car to pull the fish back in a nearby village."
The four siblings naturally nodded in agreement, and then watched him run away from here.
This is outside the city, with many villages nearby.
However, Zhou Jimin would not actually go to the village to borrow a cart, but instead found a small forest without anyone and pushed a cart out of the warehouse space.
In order to ensure the live fish, he even deliberately nailed iron sheets on the bottom and around the cart.
Moreover, in order to make others believe, the cart and the iron sheet were specially retro.
Across the distance, the four siblings saw him coming back with a cart and jumped up cheerfully.
"Wow, it's still iron. Can it be waterproof?"
"Yes, but if that's the case, we'll be busy when we go back later."
"I'm not afraid or afraid, brother, I'm very strong."
There is still a difference in the prices of live and dead fish.
Although it will be very tiring to put some water on the cart and pull the live fish back to the city.
But if they could sell more money, they would be willing.
The four siblings showed off their biceps, and wanted to prove that they were very powerful, even the little goldfish followed suit, which made Zhou Jimin unsupported.
"Okay, don't you guys, don't you have any, if you have the strength, can you have the strength to me?"
Shaking his head and smiling, Zhou Jimin pointed to the fingerboard truck and the fish in the small pond and said:
"Come on the fish and go back to the city."
The five people cooperated and quickly caught the more than fifty fish on the cart.
"Last brother, go and break some branches and put them on them to prevent water from sprinkling."
The four sides of the cart are not high, so just push them away, and the water will definitely sprinkle all the way.
But it’s different to put some branches on it, and the water will not spill out so easily.
After everything was done, the family finally set out on the way back to the city.
The silly swan was put into the sack that was originally used to hold fish and was carried by the fourth brother.
It only took half an hour to come, but it took an hour to go back.
After entering the city, the road was relatively easy to walk, but after inquiring along the way, it took half an hour to find the vegetable market that was about to end.
The supply and marketing cooperative has already gotten off work, so he can only find the vegetable market.
It was Zhou Jimin and the others who had no experience, and even if the supply and marketing cooperative did not get off work, they would not collect fish.
The staff who managed the vegetable market were shocked when they saw Zhou Jimin and the fish on the cart.
Are half a boy so powerful now?
Before he could speak, a middle-aged man who wanted to buy fish hurried over.
"Comrade, how do you sell this fish?"
Zhou Jimin was confused by the question. He didn't plan to retail.
On the contrary, the staff looked at the middle-aged man fiercely and said, "Comrade, why are you so rude? Didn't you see that you were busy here? You're queuing up."
I was about to get off work, but there were so many things to do, so I was so angry.
Therefore, he did not have a good expression on Zhou Jimin either.
"The vegetable market is about to close. You can send it to you at 6 am tomorrow."
"Didn't the vegetable market close at half past six? It's not here yet?" Zhou Jimin didn't like the other party and said directly to the middle-aged man:
"I have three kinds of fish here, one is about five kilograms, another about three or four kilograms, and one is about two kilograms. The price of a fish is one chunk, seven kilograms and three kilograms."
This price is too cheap.
You should know that pork is priced at 3 cents per pound, and the same meat is the same. The fish in the vegetable market is usually about 2 cents per pound.
According to Zhou Jimin's price, a big fish worth more than five kilograms is only one dollar, which is really too cheap.
"Okay, get me two big fish of five kilograms and give you two dollars."
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense and took out two dollars directly.
Zhou Jimin directly caught two big fish and put them into each other's basket.
Nowadays, people who buy things nowadays need to bring their own baskets or net bags, but those who sell things don’t prepare these things.
Because he was rushing back to cook and entertain guests, the middle-aged man threw down his money and left with two fish.
Zhou Shuqing here took the two dollars blankly, and was still confused.
The staff were also dumbfounded. What's wrong?
"Little comrade, I remember you."
The angry staff members couldn't do anything, so they had to leave the management bills, make harsh words, and stand aside and stare at them.
"Leave the vegetable market when it's time, don't blame me for not reminding you."
As he said that, the staff took out their watch and looked at the time.
There are still twelve minutes left.
In response to this, Zhou Jimin ignored the other party's words and simply took the bill and said thank you.
The sky is getting darker, but there are not many people in the vegetable market.
At this time, most of them went home to cook.
In other words, the vegetable market is more special and it will close when it gets dark.
However, Zhou Jimin is lucky.
Not long after, another middle-aged man in decent clothes came over on a bicycle.
I just looked at the fish in the cart and said immediately:
"Please help me send all these fish to the cotton mill next to me, I'll buy them all."
The cotton mill needs to entertain guests tomorrow, and middle-aged people come to take a walk after get off work to see their luck.
After all, you may not be able to buy so many fish tomorrow morning, and they are still live fish.
When Zhou Jimin heard this, his family was so happy, but the staff at the vegetable market were in a dark face.
Watching Zhou Jimin and the others walk out of the vegetable market, the staff muttered: What a lucky guy.
