The girl took the eel, and Luo Xuan could tell that the girl was not very happy.
Maybe she felt that it was a bit of a loss to exchange her precious candy coupons for only two eels.
Or maybe she desperately needs a bigger eel.
"do not worry."
Luo Xuan couldn't see such a girl being disappointed, so she patted her chest and promised, "I know where there are big eels, and I will definitely get them for you next time!"
"That's...good."
The girl raised her head, originally prepared to question Luo Xuan, but suddenly she turned from sadness to joy, and smiled at Luo Xuan, "Okay, then it's settled."
After taking the candy ticket from the girl's hand, Luo Xuan was about to leave.
"etc."
The girl called Luo Xuan softly, "You can take this piece of jade as a deposit from me. However, you cannot sell the largest eel to others."
"You can't sell it for any amount of money!"
The girl who has always given Luo Xuan a kind of light-hearted attitude, now her tone of voice has suddenly become very serious!
I originally owed this girl the price difference.
A pound of eel cannot be exchanged for a 0.25 pound denomination of candy coupons.
Candy stamps and pastry stamps are marketable but priceless.
It's hard to see anyone reselling it on the market, so it's hard to define its specific value.
Not only did she take her candy ticket, but this girl didn't hesitate to take jade as a deposit.
It seems that the extremely large eel is indeed extremely important to her.
Can you become an immortal if you eat a giant eel?
Luo Xuan rubbed the jade stone doubtfully.
After taking such a huge benefit from others, it seems unjustifiable not to give a word of assurance.
Luo Xuan said: "Next time there will be more than 8 taels of big eels, don't worry."
Luo Xuan, this is not bragging.
I was sure that I could do it, and I deliberately underreported the weight of the eel just to be on the safe side.
After Luo Xuan finished speaking, he took the jade and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
The girl stopped Luo Xuan again: "If my guess is right, you should still have eels to sell, right?"
Luo Xuan nodded: "Yeah."
"It seems to me that you don't understand the rules of this market. You can't sell like this."
The girl smiled slightly.
It's a pity that the light is too dark to see her face clearly.
"You should hold a piece of bamboo in your hand, and others will know that you are either selling small fish and shrimps, or selling eels and loaches."
"Why?" Luo Xuan asked.
The girl slowly walked out of the bamboo forest carrying the eel: "There's not that much of a reason. Maybe it's because the fish basket is made of woven bamboo slices. This is a common code in the market."
Luo Xuan secretly rejoiced: I have learned, I have learned!
I will often come to the market to sell eels in the future, and this information is really important to me.
When the girl walked away, Luo Xuan ran back into the rape forest and ducked into the space.
As soon as he entered, Luo Xuan felt something strange: the white jade pendant that he had clearly reached into his pocket and held tightly, suddenly disappeared!
He obviously held it so tightly!
Looking at the space carefully, Luo Xuan suddenly discovered that the spring water on the ground had clearly expanded a lot!
Moreover, the area of the space is significantly larger than before.
According to Luo Xuan's estimation, the space area at this time should be more than 500 square meters, almost expanding to the size of an acre of land!
It seems that this space really needs jade to recharge!
In order to accurately grasp the growth of the dozens of broad beans in the space, Luo Xuan pulled a piece of bamboo strips from the fish basket and inserted it next to a broad bean.
Then break off the part of the bamboo that exceeds the top of the broad bean so that you can observe the growth rate of the broad bean yourself.
Taking the broken piece of bamboo strips, Luo Xuan stepped out of the space.
Back in the grove, Luo Xuan also followed the example of others, holding pieces of bamboo strips in his hands and standing facing the eucalyptus tree.
Not long after he stood there, someone came up to Luo Xuan and asked: "Little brother, are your hands long or flat?"
Luo Xuan was slightly startled, but then he realized it and said, "It's long."
The man asked again: "How many taels?"
When eels are sold, the buyer usually reaches out to pick them up to look at the goods, and he or she can evaluate the size and thickness of the eels by himself.
But now in the frog market, people and goods are separated. The buyer cannot see the goods, so he can only ask the seller for a general situation.
Usually in this case, the seller will probably slightly exaggerate the size of his eel, but he will not brag too far.
For example, for an eel that weighs an average of 3 taels, the seller will say, "Maybe, there are about 4 taels."
"About three taels or so."
Luo Xuan replied honestly: "There are still a little more than 4 kilograms in total. Do you want it?"
"Well, the three-tael size is okay. The roasted garlic eel is okay. The leaders won't say anything."
The man asked Luo Xuan: "How much do you want to sell a pound?"
"3 cents per catty. If it's less, we won't sell it."
"Inflated prices!"
The man retorted to Luo Xuan: "How can you get such a price for three taels of eel? It's only 2 jiao and 3 cents per catty. I want it all."
Luo Xuan replied: "No bargaining, you take the 3 cents."
"You're awesome!"
The man was obviously angry and turned around and left!
Luo Xuan felt that he was walking away, but did not call him back.
There is not much supply of goods on the market now. Every penny you can sell for is just one penny more. How can you sell the fruits of your labor cheaply?
Soon.
The man walked around in a circle and came back as expected, "Okay, okay, you are so cruel! Come on, go get the goods quickly and I will take you there."
Leaving the man where he was, Luo Xuan followed suit and ran back to the rapeseed field to take out the fish basket.
With the help of the weak light from the fire, Luo Xuan and the buyer squatted in front of the scale beam, widening their eyes and looking carefully at the crosshairs on the scale beam.
Overweighing is very technical.
For those who know how to scale, whether the scale beam is more warped or flatter? Check whether the front sight is calculated according to the left side of the rope on the scale weight or the right side. If you compare it before and after, the total weight will be different.
People nowadays certainly won't care about the difference between half a penny and a penny.
After conversion, it's only 2 grams. What's the difference of 5 grams? Why do we have to care about it?
But for people in this era, everyone has a natural gene of "paying every penny" in their bones, and it is impossible to let others take advantage of themselves.
The person in charge of weighing said in a low voice: "Look, it's 4 pounds and 3 taels."
The buyer was a slightly fat middle-aged man, and he muttered: "Liu Fugui, you weigh it so flat, damn, the weight is about to slide off!"
"Fat Gu, please keep your mouth clean like me."
The person responsible for the title was named Liu Fugui, and he was heard scolding Fatty Gu in a low voice: "Don't bother me to greet your ancestors! I'm just a baby, and in the middle of the night, you're sleeping like a dog with your mother-in-law in your arms."
A little kid is working in a paddy field, his whole body is red and swollen from being cut by the seedlings, and he is prone to becoming nauseous after catching a few eels?
Your dog bought it for the company, so why is it picking so hard?"
Fatty Gu was obviously very familiar with the person responsible for the title, so he laughed and scolded: "You don't dare mess around with the government's money! Every penny you can save for the government is a penny."
The man lightly kicked Fatty Gu, but did not dare to retaliate.
Fatty Gu is singing a high-key tune. It's good that everyone is well aware of this. If he refutes it, he will easily bring trouble to himself.
After the weighing, Fatty Gu counted out 1 yuan, 20 cents and 9 cents to Luo Xuan.
Then he patted Luo Xuan's thin shoulder: "I work in a catering service company and will buy eels for a long time. As long as you come here in the future, you can wait for me and I will give you all the money."
"Five cents."
When Fatty Gu walked away, Liu Fugui, who was responsible for the blame, stretched out his hand towards Luo Xuan and said, "Don't believe him, his price is the best. If there are other buyers, just sell it first."
Luo Xuan paid him the money and humbly asked him for advice.
Through Liu Fugui's explanation, Luo Xuan finally understood: It turns out that in this market, you have to charge 5 cents for a weigh-in.
Those who are responsible for passing the scale and maintaining order are the organizers of this market.
Every time they open the market, they will discuss where to open the market next time.
Then we will notify the core members who often come to buy and sell in this market separately. In this way, no matter where the market opens next time, at least the core customers will know about it.
As for farmers in the countryside and ordinary workers in cities and towns...
Grapevine has always been like dandelions in the autumn wind. Whenever there is a slight movement, they will fly all over the sky.
Once more people know, don't expect any secrets...
