Chapter 5 Cut two catties of meat

"12 kilograms and 3 taels, plus these three bags, one is 13 kilograms, and the other two are 14 kilograms and 14 kilograms and 4 taels, the total is 53 kilograms and 7 taels. I don't count the weight of the bag as much for you.

If you deduct 2 taels from the scale, 53 kilograms and 5 taels, or should I calculate it as one yuan and eighty taels for you, is there any problem?" It was the same vendor yesterday, "You are so good, you made so many lobsters by yourself?"

"No problem. Calculate how much money you have." Su Xing nodded and asked seemingly unintentionally, "You collect so many lobsters a day and put them at home. Aren't you afraid of suffocating to death when the weather is so hot?"

"What are you afraid of? Nothing will happen if you leave it overnight. I will go to the district early the next morning and sell the lobsters. I won't die. It's just hard work. I have to get up at three or four o'clock." The merchant said with a smile, after counting the money.

Pass it to Su Xing, "Click it to see if there is anything wrong."

Su Xing counted the money in front of the vendor: "Why is it only 96 yuan? Is it 3 cents missing?"

"You are a snakeskin bag with water on it. I just put 2 taels of weight on it for you. Why are you fussing with me for 3 cents? If you remove it, it is exactly an integer. Isn't it just right?" said the vendor, "One day.

I made a hundred yuan with just a little effort. If you can, don’t worry about it so much.”

Su Xing was stunned for a moment after hearing what the merchant said.

It has always been the merchant who pays the price difference to the customer, and there is no saying that the merchant pays the price difference for himself.

This is not a matter of more money or less, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.

Feeling uncomfortable, Su Xing was too lazy to argue and went to the vegetable market.

I cut two kilograms of meat for eleven yuan, weighed two kilograms of flour, and bought two packs of mustard and a handful of leeks. After waking up, I came out of the vegetable market and went to the fishing tackle shop to pick up some white mesh bags and wire.

"Boss, how do you sell eel cages?" Su Xing asked the boss who was sitting at the door basking in the sun and weaving eel cages.

"It depends on what you want. The bamboo ones cost 80 cents each. The plastic ones here are stronger and more expensive, 1.50 yuan each." The boss asked Su Xing, "Do you want it?"

"Bamboo will do. Will it be cheaper if I buy more?" Su Xing asked.

"If you buy more than thirty pieces, I'll give you 70 cents each." The boss was also happy.

"Okay, let's take fifty." Su Xing pointed to the foam on the side, "Can you give me some more of these foams?"

"Take it, you can take them all." The boss waved his hand, put down the half-knitted eel cages, counted out fifty eel cages that had been knitted, took them out, tied them with ropes, and helped Su Xing hang them on the bicycle.

superior.

There were too many things on the bicycle, so Su Xing didn’t dare to ride it, so he pushed it all the way home.

"What are you buying? As soon as you have money, you spend it randomly." Wang Chunlan felt distressed again when she saw the things hanging on Su Xing's bicycle.

Su Xing took off the meat and flour hanging on the handlebar and handed it to Wang Chunlan: "I weighed two kilograms of meat and some noodles. Let me eat dumplings for lunch."

"Brother, did you buy meat?" Su Ran ran out, looked at Su Xing eagerly, and circled around the bicycle.

"I didn't buy you ice cream, but bought some meat buns." Su Xing bought a dozen buns and asked Su Ranti to come into the house.

"How much did these things cost? The meal is already being cooked, why are you buying steamed buns? It's a waste." Wang Chunlan poured the flour into the basin, cooked the dough, and chattered to Su Xing who was cooking for a while outside.

"It's not much money, just a few dozen yuan." Su Jing said, "Mom, live more and have more noodles. Let the mice come over and eat together at noon."

"A few dozen yuan is not much?" Wang Chunlan added some water to the basin, added some flour, and continued to live, "Don't buy these things next time you go out on the street."

Su Xing smiled helplessly and said nothing.

My family may not be able to eat meat even once a week, and they may even go out to the street to cut some meat and make dumplings for it once a month.

He was really too poor and could not make any money from just a few acres of land. After Su Xing graduated from high school, Wang Chunlan went to work in the brick factory in the village. After the brick factory closed down, she went to work in the hose factory in the town, just to

Earn college registration fees for Su Xing.

Wang Chunlan was already over 50 years old at that time, working two shifts and often working night shifts. Su Xing didn't want this to happen again.

It can make the family's life better, so Su Xing doesn't dare to delay it. As for money, if he lives a new life, in Su Xing's eyes, there are business opportunities everywhere, and his family will definitely not be short of money in the future.

After working for a while, Su Xing took the car to Su Hao's house. Su Qiangmin was sitting in the house. Su Xing took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Second dad, take this and smoke it."

"What are you doing? Just use a bicycle. You can use it casually. Do you need to buy cigarettes? Or Double Happiness. Take it back." Su Qiangmin didn't want it.

A pack of Double Happiness costs three yuan. Very few people in the village smoke, and they usually smoke Xiangyang cigarettes which cost more than one yuan.

"Take it, my dad doesn't smoke. There's no point in taking it back. I may need your second dad's bicycle in the future." Su Xing put the cigarette into Su Qiangmin's hand, "Mouse, come out with me.

"

Su Xing took Su Hao home. Su Qiangmin held a cigarette and looked at Su Xing's back, speechless for a long time.

"Did he buy you cigarettes? These cigarettes are more expensive than the cigarettes you usually smoke." Su Qiangmin's wife said next to him.

"It costs three yuan a pack. Not many people smoke this in the village. This guy is really good at doing things. I'm afraid he will have a big future." Su Qiangmin smoked a cigarette and put it on his lips, "But how do I feel about Su Changmin's family?

The boy seems to have become a different person, he didn’t have such cleverness before.”

After returning home, Su Xing asked Su Hao to help him get some eel cages.

"What is this thing for?" Su Hao followed Su Xing with an eel cage on his back.

"Eel catcher." Su Xing said.

"Catch eels? How to catch them." Su Hao didn't understand.

"We'll know in a few days." Su woke up and went to the small pond in the village. He chose a place and threw all the eel cages in his hands into the pond. Then he found a few stones and pressed them on top, so that all the eel cages could be filled.

He sank into the water and said to Su Hao, who was still looking at him in a daze, "Throw the eel cage in your hand into the pond as well."

"What are you doing by throwing it in? Can you get eels like this?" Su Hao was a little confused.

"We can't do it now. We just need to soak it to remove the smell from the eel cage. It will take a few days." Su Xing took the eel cage from Su Hao's hand and put it into the pond, soaking it all in the water and picking it.

I took some mud and smeared it on it.

The eel cage is made of bamboo. The new eel cage has the smell of bamboo and must be removed. The best way is to put the eel cage in the toilet and soak it for two or three days, and then take it out and clean it.

This taste is very attractive to eels.

However, Su Xing felt it was too disgusting, so instead of doing that, he changed the method and put the eel cage in the pond. After soaking it for a few more days, the effect was almost the same.

After finishing it, I woke up and went home. I asked Su Hao to help me carry it and we went to the river together.

"Do all these exercises." When they arrived at the river, Su Xing ordered Su Hao, while he himself found a place to sit down and continue doing the exercises.

I slipped into the river for a while, and there were white foam floating along the river bank.

After waking up for a while, I added one to the river.

As time passed, more and more lobsters were caught. In just one morning, I estimated that there were forty or fifty kilograms of lobsters. Su Hao woke up at noon and asked Su Hao to watch by the river while he took the caught lobsters home.

It was left. It was hot outside and there were too many lobsters. Su Xing didn't dare to leave it for a long time. After dinner, he brought a big bowl of dumplings to Su Hao.

At night, the kitchen of Su Xing's house was covered with snakeskin bags, making rustling sounds. There were two large washing basins in the main room. One of them was borrowed from Su Hao's family, and it was full of lobsters.

"What are you doing with so many lobsters? The house is full of smell, and it's hard to walk. It's wet." Su Changmin kicked over a lobster that escaped through the net, and teased the lobster's head twice with his slippered feet.
