"Mom!"

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Ding Xiaoxiang is angry and funny. Ten yuan per catty? This half-a-catty crab and tiger fish cannot be priced at this price. Anyone who grew up in a fishing village knows this at the age of five or six.

"Yo!"

"Is your mother stupid?"

"How stupid are you to set up such a stall here to do business?"

"That guy just looked at you for a long time, thinking that he could accept it at a low price. Unexpectedly, he turned around and left."

Zhang Li shook her head.

"Mom!"

"How can you talk like this?!"

Ding Xiaoxiang blushed and glared at Zhang Li.

"Humph!"

"No one will accept this guy's fish! You have to come back soon!"

Zhang Li ignored Ding Xiaoxiang and stared at Zhao Dahai's back until she was out of sight.

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. My mother really thought too much. No one collected this fish? How is it possible? Don’t look at the town next to the sea. There is no shortage of crab and tiger fish, but they are all small. The man just brought them

They are all big and highly sought after. Don’t worry about this fish.

Zhao Dahai left Ding Xiaoxiang's stall and continued to walk forward. He found a few stalls and asked about the prices. One of them offered a price of 23 yuan. He said it was high or not, and he said it was not low. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed.

After weighing it, I found that the net bag weighed twenty-five kilograms and seven taels with three taels deducted, which was five hundred and ninety-one yuan and ten cents.

Zhao Dahai counted it carefully twice and concluded that it was OK. He stuffed it into his pocket, packed up the mesh bag and bucket, and turned around to leave.

"This boss."

"Come and see the fish on our stall!"

"They all arrived early this morning. The fish from the small fishing boat are very fresh."

……

"Look at this grouper."

……

"Sharpfish are all one or two weight."

"Less thorns and more meat. Pan-fried is the best!"

……

Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang skillfully greeted everyone who passed by, and the fish, shrimp and crabs at the stall were selling quickly.

"Mom!"

"Your crab tiger fish can't be collected now!"

Ding Xiaoxiang killed a fish, put it in a bag, and handed it to the buyer. When she saw Zhao Dahai walking by not far from the stall, the bucket in his hand was light. Needless to say, he must have sold it.

"Hey!"

"Brother, have you sold your fish?"

Zhang Li's face looked a little ugly, she forced out a smile and shouted at Zhao Dahai.

"Yeah!"

"Sold!"

"Twenty-three pounds of currency."

Zhao Dahai didn't expect Zhang Li to say hello, but he immediately understood that he wanted to know how much he would sell it for. He didn't want to say it at first, but he rolled his eyes and changed his mind.

“The price is good!”

Zhang Li regretted it very much. She has set up a fish stall here for ten years. The prices in the fish market are very reasonable. Half a catty of crab and tiger fish can be sold for thirty-one catties. Just now she saw clearly that the smallest half catty

, seven or eight pieces weigh 9 taels per catty, and the remaining ones are more than one catty or even more than two catties. The currency price is 23 yuan, and you can earn one or two hundred yuan. If you sell them to restaurants, you can earn even more.

, the key is that the fish got to me first, and I blame myself for being too greedy.

Zhao Dahai smiled. Zhang Li didn't mean what she said.

"Something's wrong!"

"Let's go!"

Zhao Dahai waved his hand.

"Good."

"You work first."

"I caught a fish later. Bring it to me. I'll give you a good price."

Zhang Li forced out a smile and shouted.

Zhao Dahai nodded, turned and left.

"Mom!"

"That kid just wanted to make you angry on purpose!"

Ding Xiaoxiang wiped some water on her apron with both hands,

"You think I don't know?"

"What a pity!"

"Confiscate these crab and tiger fish!"

Zhang Li sighed.

Ding Xiaoxiang laughed. My mother is very shrewd. No one in the whole fish market can compare with her. This time she was really a bit greedy. Her attempt to make a big fortune ended up in vain. However, no one can blame her for this.

Zhao Dahai carried the bucket and left the fish market. He patted his pocket in disbelief. There was almost 600 yuan in it. This was the first few years of the 21st century, the first half of 2003.

Six hundred yuan is not a small amount.

Zhao Dahai turned around and entered another small street next to the fish market. They sold rice, noodles and meat. He bought a fifty kilogram bag of rice and carried it on his shoulders. He also bought ten kilograms of pork belly and added some oil, salt, soy, vinegar, and vegetable seeds.

I carried a few big bags in my hands and finally bought a few pieces of red date cake before returning to the village.

Heavy?

This is impossible!

With money in my pocket, I feel as if I'm walking on clouds, light and airy, with a gust of wind as I walk.

One o'clock at noon.

The sun is high in the sky.

The stove is average and very hot.

Zhao Dahai strode into the yard and shouted that grandma would come back by herself.

Zhong Cuihua walked out of the hall and saw Zhao Dahai carrying Zhao Dahai on his shoulders and immediately helped.

"Grandma!"

"This is red date paste. Try it."

Zhao Dahai put down his things and took the bag containing red date paste.

"Yo!"

"What are you spending this money on?"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"How much did it cost?"

"Your eldest grandson, I have made money."

"Isn't it normal to buy you something delicious?"

"Eat it all while it's hot."

Zhao Dahai opened the bag, took out a piece, and put it in Zhong Cuihua's hand.

"Okay! Okay!"

"Eat!"

"Eat them all!"

Zhong Cuihua brought the red date paste to her mouth, took a small bite, and smiled.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, took a bowl, poured half a bowl of water, and brought it out. The corners of Zhong Cuihua's eyes were shining, which showed how worried she had been in the past two years.
