"Boy, bring me a bream"

"Okay, this bream weighs nine taels and the price is seventy cents. I’ll charge you one yuan and give you three cents. Take it and go slowly!"

……

"Brother, do you want two crucian carps? No problem, I’ll pick two fat ones for you!"

……

"Sister, this big carp is just two pounds and four taels. I charge you two yuan and give you 13 cents. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have any change. Do you think I can add another three taels of crucian carp for you?"

……

Among the stalls and hawkers near the family building, only Li Xia is the most diligent, and naturally his business is also the best.

Li Xia is doing a business without capital, and the fish he sells are pure profits.

The income is considerable.

The sun is getting stronger overhead.

Li Xia put on a straw hat and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

There were very few fish left, and other river shrimps, eels, etc. were also sold out.

People in the county are different from those in the countryside. They gradually become more particular about food and drink.

People in the county know how to cook and eat aquatic products such as eel and loach.

Therefore, almost all the aquatic products Li Xia salvaged were sold out.

There was no one around, so Li Xia squatted in the corner, took out a thick stack of dimes from his pocket, and began to count them.

A total of eighty-two kilograms and six taels of fish were sold at seventy-eight cents per kilogram.

River shrimp weighs six pounds and four taels, and one piece weighs two cents per pound.

Three kilograms of eel...three and a half kilograms of loach... swish, swish, swish!

Li Xia pulled the coins with his fingers, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing in his mind.

Total income: seventy-two dollars and eighty cents.

Li Xia's heart skipped a beat, twice as much as yesterday.

Holding a thick stack of dimes and a large handful of coins in his hand, Li Xia had a satisfied smile on his lips.

These days are becoming more and more promising

……

Yang Guiru only has one class in the morning, which is after nine o'clock.

So she took advantage of her free time to wander over and buy fish.

Yesterday I heard from my husband that the fish stall was near the east side of the family building.

In a blink of an eye, she found the place.

Yang Guiru wanted to eat the steamed bream last night, but she still wanted to eat it.

I have to buy another one today.

As soon as she arrived at her destination, she saw a young fishmonger wearing a straw hat, his head lowered, counting a thick wad of money.

Yang Guiru's eyes suddenly widened.

Why so much money!

A rough estimate would cost seventy or eighty yuan!

Yang Guiru's heart was beating fast. This was as much as her husband's salary for one month!

Yang Guiru remembered what her husband said yesterday. Now that the market is open, doing business can make no less money than working a regular job.

It really is!!

However, this fish seller must have made too much money!

Yang Guiru was even a little jealous and jealous.

However, she then thought about it, the fishmonger's money should be gross profit, and there should be a cost to collect the fish!

Moreover, there are not so many fish for sale every day.

Thinking of this, Yang Guiru felt much more balanced.

After all, she had a good life as a child. She was a middle school teacher, had a decent job and made a lot of money.

Her husband is the deputy director of the machine maintenance department of an agricultural machinery factory, with a high position and high salary.

The well-off family formed by the couple is envied by many people.

This gave Yang Guiru a great sense of superiority since her marriage.

Yang Guiru stepped forward

"Hey, boss, business is so good, I made so much money this morning!"

"Are there any fish left? I buy fish. Yang

Guiru opened her mouth and shouted to Li Xia who was squatting on the wall counting money.

Although Yang Guiru and Chu Mengxi were good sisters who grew up in the same house, they were all before they got married. After they got married, the two of them had less contact. Many.

Yang Guiru and Li Xia were hardly familiar with each other. They might have only met once at a wedding banquet.

After that, they probably never met again.

Not long after they got married, Li Xia started to behave badly. He stayed away from home all day and fooled around outside..

Yang Guiru went to see Chu Mengxi several times, but Li Xia was not at home.

Four or five years have passed.

Now, Yang Guiru cannot recognize Li Xia, and Li Xia has no impression of Yang Guiru.

"ah? Buy fish!"

"Hello, what fish do you want?"

Seeing that there were still customers coming to the door, Li Xia hurriedly put away the money and walked over quickly.

Yang Guiru glanced at the large plastic basin, and there were only two crucian carp in it, one large and one small.

"Are all the fish almost sold? Then I want the remaining two!"

"okay!"

Li Xia immediately weighed the fish, tied it with straw, and handed it to Yang Guiru.

"You get the fish! The big one is one pound and seventy taels, and the small one is four and a half. The total is one dollar and sixty-seven cents. Just give me one dollar and sixty cents. Yang

Guiru chuckled and said,"Give me seven cents cheaper. Boss, you are so generous."

Li Xia grinned and said,"Just make a friend and come back next time." Yang

Guiru cast an admiring look at Li Xia and said with a smile:

"The boss is really good at talking, no wonder business is so good."

Yang Guiru carried two fishes and walked back.

Yang Guiru had only one class this morning, so she planned to go home and bake the fish, get some delicious food, and pack them to the big canteen of the textile factory to have a meal with her best friend Chu Mengxi had lunch together.

They had not eaten together for a long time.

Moreover, Yang Guiru knew that Chu Mengxi, in order to save money to feed her children well, she ate pure whole grains such as steamed buns, black-faced steamed buns, and sweet potatoes every day. , not to mention how difficult it is

……

Li Xia cleaned up the aquatic plants, fish scales and other debris in the basin and bucket, packed the cart, and headed back home.

The street of stalls and hawkers in the area of ​​​​Jiajialou can be said to be very lively.

Some sell bamboo woven products, some sell home-made sesame peanut candy, some sell fresh vegetables, some sell fruits...

However, among all the vendors, the most eye-catching one is Li Xia.

When Li Xia pushed the cart through this street, everyone looked at Li Xia.

Why?

Because business is booming like never before!

Have you ever seen a stall sell out after more than an hour?

This is very rare!

But now, Li Xia has only been at the fish stall for two days, and others have seen it.

It was also the first time for other people to encounter someone who was selling things as loud as Li Xia!

The voice was so loud that everyone in the county wished they could hear it.

Who does this kind of business?

This young man is really willing to go out of his way!

However, it really worked, and customers were immediately attracted to it.

Moreover, there are more and more people.

Some people pointed at Li Xia and talked about it

"This young man is amazing, he sells fish really well, he is a good businessman!"

"No, it made me jealous. How long have we been here? Dozens of kilograms of fish have been sold out!"

"Why! I don’t know if I can sell out all the green vegetables and radishes I put out by the evening. They are almost wilting!"

"Let's start shouting, maybe the business will be better?"

"I tried it just now, but it didn’t work, and it was quite tiring!"

"The fish is still easy to sell! People living in the county love to eat fresh live fish!"

"If this continues, the fish seller will make a fortune!"

"Come on, don't be jealous, they only sell it for a day or two, where can you get so much fresh food every day? The wet market doesn’t have fresh fish every day!"
