"Ms. Chen, I heard that there was an inspection of the black market today. Did you run into it and sell the vegetables to the supply and marketing cooperative instead?"
Everyone else's eyes fell on Chen Zhaozhao.
Especially Lin Xisi's gaze made people feel even more stressed.
This does not mean that I thought of selling to the supply and marketing cooperative because I couldn't sell it myself.
Supply and marketing cooperatives should have been the first choice, but now they have become the last resort.
Regarding the confrontation between the black market and the supply and marketing cooperatives, it's embarrassing to tell the truth.
If it were a petty person, I wouldn't be able to kick her out.
Aunt Zhang is still saying: "You won't make a lot less money if you sell to a supply and marketing society. But it's good that you don't have to worry about selling to a supply and marketing society, don't you think?"
"Yes." What else could Chen Zhaozhao say? Aunt Zhang had finished everything.
"Stop talking about that, let's watch the food."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw the vegetables, "Miss Chen, I will take all these vegetables at the price you are selling them for."
Chen Zhaozhao glanced at Lin Xisi, smiled and said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, I sold this dish to the supply and marketing cooperative. If you want to buy it, you have to talk to Director Lin."
Aunt Zhang and Lin Yinghong looked at each other and slapped their thighs, "Yes, yes, yes, look at me. I was so excited that I forgot about this.
But it's okay. You haven't sold it to the supply and marketing cooperative yet. I'm very familiar with Xi Si. This kid Xi Si is very good. Now that you meet me and I want it, you can sell it to me directly.
Can earn a little more.
Anyway, the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't care about this little money, and Xi Si won't say anything, so it's not easy for you."
"I know Aunt Zhang is taking care of us. I would like to thank Aunt Zhang first, but I have already discussed this dish with Director Lin and cannot change it. Integrity is very important in life.
Besides, Aunt Zhang is buying food for a state-owned restaurant, so she should have a receipt from the supply and marketing cooperative, so I can't make it difficult for Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen Zhaozhao with a kinder look, "You kid, you are really smart, sensible and able to talk. Which family in the future will be really lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you."
Aunt Zhang said and glanced at Lin Xisi.
Lin Xisi, "..."
Chen Zhaozhao noticed Aunt Zhang's expression and said with a smile: "We don't have to wait for the future, I already have a child."
She did not tell her specific situation, but only stated the facts that were convenient for others to understand. It is up to others how they interpret it.
"Ah?" Aunt Zhang was surprised and regretful, "You are already married? You don't look very young, you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"
She said and looked at Lin Yinghong.
Lin Yinghong nodded, and was surprised that Chen Zhaozhao was already married and had children.
Chen Zhaozhao is good-looking, with a small face and big eyes. He wears a big braid that reaches his waist. Because he was in a bad mood before, he looked haggard and lost a lot of weight, which made him look smaller.
Recently, due to the nourishment from the spiritual spring, my face has become a little fatter, and my originally dry, yellow and dull skin has become tender and moist. My overall complexion looks good and even smaller.
It is said that girls will be happy when they are young, and the experienced Chen Zhaozhao is no exception. The smile on her face suddenly became much deeper and she said: "I am already nineteen and almost twenty years old, and I have a daughter who is over two years old."
Women of this era, especially rural women, marry young, so it is not unusual for Aunt Zhang and Lin Yinghong to have a two-year-old child at the age of nineteen, but it is a pity that she is already married and has a child.
Chen Zhaozhao didn't want to say more about personal issues. She smiled at Aunt Zhang and looked at Lin Xisi, "It's getting late. Director Lin, why don't you weigh the dishes."
"Okay." Lin Xisi nodded and asked the full-time staff to take the scale and count.
As Chen Zhaozhao reported to Lin Xisi before, the vegetable moss is thirty-five pounds and the vegetable seedlings are twenty-five pounds.
Chen Zhaozhao watched the staff take the dishes off the scale and asked Lin Xisi, "There are three more fish here. Do you want them?"
"Fish? What kind of fish?" Aunt Zhang asked first.
Chen Zhaozhao led them to the bucket of fish, "This is it. We fished it in the river and raised it ourselves for a while. It tastes very delicious."
Chen Zhaozhao told a little lie. She believed that Lin Xisi and others had eaten wild fish, but there must be a reason why her fish tasted much stronger than ordinary fish.
The reason for this is of course that they raised it. After all, the fish has been tempered by her with spiritual spring water, and the meat quality has been improved by several levels. There is absolutely no fishy smell when eating, only the fresh aroma of fish.
The taste and nutritional value are absolutely good.
"This fish is so big, it must be five or six pounds, right?" Aunt Zhang looked at the fish with great curiosity.
"The big grass carp is six pounds and three taels, the small one is four and a half pounds, and the crucian carp is three pounds and four taels." Chen Zhaozhao immediately reported the weights that the fish had prepared.
"Such a big crucian carp is really rare. The crucian carp soup is the best." Aunt Zhang licked her lower lip and said, "How are you going to sell it?"
Chen Zhaozhao looked at Lin Xisi questioningly.
Lin Xisi said with a smile: "If there are too few fish, the supply and marketing cooperative will not accept them. Aunt Zhang loves fish, sell it to her, and I will buy one myself. How do you want to sell it?"
"Eight cents per catty." Chen Zhaozhao said confidently and calmly.
"Eight cents?" Aunt Zhang was the first to say in surprise, frowning and shaking her head, "Eight cents is too expensive, three kilograms costs two yuan and four dollars."
At the supply and marketing cooperative, the price of meat is 40 cents per catty, and the price of fish is 30 cents per catty. The price of one fish can buy six catties of meat, which is enough for their family to feed them for half a month. This one fish can only last two days at most.
Not cost-effective. Not cost-effective.
Although Aunt Zhang loves fish, she is reluctant to spend so much money on one.
Lin Xisi and Lin Yinghong were also surprised. They never expected that Chen Zhaozhao's fish would dare to be sold so expensively. However, when they thought about the price of her vegetables, they were relieved.
"Miss Chen, you originally planned to sell this fish on the black market, right? To put it bluntly, your fish is more expensive than meat. No one will buy it. One is so big." Aunt Zhang looked at the fish and said regretfully.
"Aunt Zhang, the taste of my fish is not comparable to that of ordinary fish, and its nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary fish and even meat. If you like to eat fish, I can guarantee that this fish meat is better than the pork you bought."
For people of this era, especially those in mountainous cities like Huixi County, meat is the most valuable thing. Most people who have money to buy meat will never buy other vegetables.
To put it bluntly, only a fool would spend more money on fish than on meat.
"Look at you, are you bragging? Is there any fish in this world that tastes better than meat?" Aunt Zhang didn't believe it.
"This way, you don't have to buy one yourself. I can break it. You can buy as many as you want. You can buy some and try them back to see if I lied to you."
"Is this still possible?" Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up.
Fish are usually sold one by one, and no one has ever killed them and sold them by the pound.
"Of course." Chen Zhaozhao nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, then give me a pound of this crucian carp." Aunt Zhang said immediately and happily.
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao readily agreed and asked Lin Xisi, "Can I destroy the fish right here?"
