Chapter 388: Selling Fish(1/2)
After the drunken fish grass was broken, I held some water in my hand and poured it into it, and continued to beat it. In this way, the juice that was knocked out would be filled with foam like water with washing powder.
After knocking all the drunken fish grass into pieces, he turned all the drunken fish grass into the river, let the river water rinse them, creating a continuous stream of foam water.
These foamy waters are the key to medicinal fish.
It is said that the reason why fish are anesthetized by these drunkards is because the drunkards contain saponin.
Saponin can make it difficult for fish living in water to breathe, and thus have to drill out of the cracks of stones or mud holes to swim to the water to breathe. At the same time, they will be paralyzed, and even if they are fished with bare hands, they will not run away.
After turning the drunk fish grass into the river, Liu Qingshan immediately picked up another net bag of the net and went to the downstream to catch the fish.
His location is about twenty or thirty meters away from Agui.
As soon as he stood up, Agui in front of him shouted excitedly: "Haha, Brother Qingshan, I have caught one."
"Shh, whisper." Liu Qingshan bowed his back, looked up and made a shushing move. He smiled at Agui who was dancing with a smile, "Don't scare the fish away."
"Yeah." Agui nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice, "This drunk fish grass is so powerful. The fish is really motionless. If I catch it, it won't run away."
"If you are being talked about, hurry up and grab it, otherwise the fish will run away once the medicine is effective, and it will be difficult to catch it."
Hearing this, Agui quickly turned around and looked for the next target.
One morning, I knocked on a few bundles of drunken fish grass and changed into several places. The two of them had a lot of harvest and caught two buckets of fish.
In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan wanted to take all these fish to Agui's house.
Seeing this, Wu Cuimei was a little unhappy: "You caught these fish with Agui, so you wouldn't stay at home for me and your dad to try them."
Liu Qingshan looked at his mother and smiled and said, "Mom, I want Agui to know the power of knowledge. So, let's give Agui these fish today. When I go to the town later, I will buy you other delicious foods, okay?"
Wu Cuimei looked at her son, and saw that her son looked serious, so she had to agree.
When he arrived at the other village, Agui locked up the cow.
Seeing Brother Qingshan coming to the house with two buckets of fish, Agui's eyes were rounded: "Brother Qingshan, why did you bring all the fish? Our family can't eat so much."
Although Agui wanted his mother to eat enough at once, he and Brother Qingshan caught two buckets of fish today.
Even if I only give him one bucket, I can't finish it.
"Oh, I didn't say I wanted you to finish it." Liu Qingshan put down the plastic bucket and asked Agui mysteriously, "Agui, do you want to make money?"
"Ah?" Agui nodded in a daze, "I think, of course, but my mother doesn't let me dig stone flowers. She will be angry. She said, afraid that I will be dizzy in the mountains and can't find it."
"Oh, what I said wasn't asking you to dig stone flowers." Liu Qingshan pointed to two buckets of fish and smiled, "How about we sell all these fish?"
“Sell?”
"Yes, didn't you just say that you can't eat so much fish anyway. Moreover, if you want to eat in the future, just grab it. We caught so much this morning, so we might just sell it all. In this way, we might be able to earn a lot of money."
"A lot of money?" After hearing the "a lot of money", Agui's eyes were as big as a copper bell, and they were shining with dazzling brilliance.
This glory simply outweighs Chen Xiaofang's iron rooster.
Seeing this, Liu Qingshan nodded with laughter but firmly: "Yes, a lot of money."
"If there is really a lot of money, it doesn't matter whether you eat fish or not." Agui said, "Let's sell all the fish."
He thought that if his mother knew, she would definitely support him in doing so.
Although he really wanted to leave some for his mother to eat, he felt that if he didn't seize this good opportunity, it would be difficult to sell fish in the future.
It would be very troublesome to just ask him or his mother to take the bus to the town with the fish.
As for fish, there are many small rivers in the village, so he can go and grab some for his mother to eat tomorrow.
"Sold them all?" Liu Qingshan didn't expect that Agui was more wealthy than Chen Xiaofang, but he nodded with great understanding, "That's fine, if you say you sell them all, then sell them all."
"So, will we set out now?"
"Of course." Liu Qingsha carried two more buckets of fish and walked out with Agui.
By chance, when I was halfway through, I happened to meet an aunt in the village.
The aunt is a relative of Agui's family. She stared at the fish in the bucket with her eyes fixed on her face and exclaimed: "Wow, why are there so many fish? Agui, did your mother catch these fish?"
Agui shook his head in embarrassment: "No, these are all caught by Brother Qingshan... with me."
He didn't want to mention his own, because he knew that if he said he had a share of arrest, the aunt would definitely ask for some.
At that time, it will be difficult to give or not.
He didn't want to give it to him. He said he was stingy or selfish. He just didn't want to give it to him. He wanted to sell all these fish, and then gave it to his mother with colorful banknotes and told her that he could make money.
He really doesn't want to give it.
However, he could not lie easily, so he could only give himself up in the end.
As expected, after hearing what Agui said, the aunt immediately raised her eyebrows and put a big hand into the bucket, and said happily: "With so many fish, give me a few. I don't want more, just a few."
Agui looked at it blankly, not knowing what to do.
If he refuses, the aunt will definitely tell others how stingy he is, saying that his mother is incompetent in educating her children. She said he can, but she can't.
However, if she was given, according to Agui's understanding of her, the so-called fish she mentioned must be the largest fish in the bucket, and the number was definitely not just a few, but maybe a dozen.
Agui looked at his aunt's hand reaching into the bucket and stirring it around, so anxious that he could only bite his lips and tighten his body.
"Or, I'll send you some fresh things to your house tomorrow, aunt." Agui finally couldn't help but speak and said, "I'll go fishing tomorrow, and I'll send you some more tomorrow. Today's fish was caught by Brother Qingshan and I, not me alone. Moreover, today's fish, we want to sell all of them, so I'll send you some more tomorrow."
The aunt was stunned and pulled her hand back from the bucket. She looked at Agui who was anxious and looked at Liu Qingshan who was calm and composed. She finally couldn't hold on her face. She smiled a few embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it turns out that she wants to sell it. Then, forget it, then I don't want it."
"Thank you aunt." Agui said happily, "I will definitely send you some fresh fish to your house tomorrow."
"Haha, that's OK." The aunt left with a smile.
Agui suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not difficult to reject others.
Just tell your true thoughts. Sometimes you may offend people, but sometimes you can avoid unnecessary losses.
Liu Qingshan looked at Agui who was secretly happy with a smile and said, "It's not bad, he is so good at speaking. If it were me, I wouldn't know how to reject her."
"Hehe." Agui scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just want to sell more money."
After the episode passed, the two went straight to the town.
When I arrived in the town, I sold it at the intersection of the vegetable market.
Today I happened to be in the market, and there were quite a lot of people in the town.
However, there were not many people selling all kinds of fresh things, so the little fish of the two attracted a lot of attention. As soon as they opened a stall, many people surrounded them.
"How much does it cost?" An old man with glasses bowed his back and looked at the fish in the bucket and asked, "How much does this fish cost per pound?"
"50 yuan per pound." Liu Qingshan raised five fingers and said, "These are all wild fish in the mountains, and they are sold for fifty yuan per pound."
"Fifty yuan per pound?" Hearing this sky-high price, the onlookers started shouting.
"You're too expensive, I remember selling thirty years ago."
"That's right, even if the price increases, it can't rise so much."
"Uncle, the small fish sold by people in the thirty years ago were returned by someone else using electric fish machines or poison medicines. Now the country has clearly stipulated that there are no electric fish or medicine fish. How many people in the town now have so many small fish sold?"
Liu Qingshan's words are a big truth.
Because the state introduced policy intervention, few people in towns now sell these small fish.
If people want to eat wild fish, they can only go fishing by themselves.
However, not everyone likes to go fishing. Moreover, fishing is not as simple as electric fish and medicinal fish, and you can easily get a large amount of fish.
The time and energy spent on fishing are definitely something that most people cannot bear.
Therefore, if people want to eat this kind of fish, they can only try their luck in the town. If they can meet it, they will eat it. If they can’t, they will try it next time.
Today I finally encountered such a large amount of fish, but I didn’t expect that the fish seller actually asked for a price of 50 yuan per catty. You should know that local beef is the price.
"It's too expensive. Beef only costs fifty yuan per pound. Your fish is sold for fifty yuan, which is too expensive."
People said the price was too expensive, but they refused to leave one by one, as if as long as they shouted a few more, the fish seller would lower the price.
"Oh, boss, you sell it so expensively, it's hard to sell it. If you sell it cheaper, we'll ask for some for you."
"Yes, if it costs thirty yuan per pound, I want three pounds."
"I want three pounds, too."
"I want five pounds."
"You see so many people, and you can buy a few pounds of pounds for each person, and you can sell it out in one go. After you sell it out, you can finish your work and go back to do other work."
"Yes, it's small profit but quick turnover. Handsome guy, your fish will smell bad after being kept in the bucket for a long time."
Listening to everyone's words and words, Agui couldn't help looking at Brother Qingshan, trying to see the next decision he would make in his face.
But Liu Qingshan's expression did not change at all, and he was still so calm and composed. Listening to everyone talking nonstop, he not only did not have a trace of anxiety, but instead showed a relaxed smile.
He said, "I can't compare it to the past. When pork was sold for ten yuan per pound, these wild fish were sold for thirty yuan per pound. Now the price of pork has increased by three times. My little fish has only increased by less than twice, which is already very cheap. Think about it, those pork filled with feed cost thirty yuan per pound. My pure natural wild fish is not an exaggeration. Don't talk too much. Anyway, I will sell it at this price. If I can't sell it, I will take it home to dry the dried fish and keep it for myself to eat it slowly."
As soon as these words were said, everyone suddenly lost confidence.
Because what he said is true. Although the price of pork has been reduced a little, it still costs more than 20 yuan per pound.
