Chapter 8 Selling Fish
"Young man, it's cheaper, five yuan is too expensive, if it's cheaper, I'll buy one and go home."

If there is someone who is not short of money, think about it for a while and start bargaining.

"Auntie, you old Zhang retorted, if I don't give in, it's really not kind, how about it, four yuan and five, you choose the big one, how about it?"

Xu Shiyan didn't expect to sell it for five yuan a piece at first, he asked for a lot of money and paid back the money on the spot, so there was always room for bargaining.

The big guy calculated it in his heart, and the fifty cents would be four yuan and five yuan.

These fish are quite big, and there are always three and a half catties, so the calculation is only one yuan, three or four cents a catty, which is not bad.

"Come on, young man, pick up a big one for my aunt. It just so happens that our old man celebrates his birthday today, so we didn't rush to buy meat just now."

Someone really handed over four yuan and fifty cents and asked Xu Shiyan to pick a big one.

Xu Shiyan was also convinced, took the money, and picked a big one from it and handed it to others. "Auntie, look at this fish, it's still gagging. It's fresh, so feel free to eat it when you go back."

The old lady took the fish contentedly and left.

When the people around saw it, they were also a little moved, and some people tried to negotiate the price again.

But Xu Shiyan refused to give up the price, four yuan and fifty a piece, and he would get the money if he bought it.

This is the only business. Most of the sellers around are eggs and vegetables. How can there be such fresh fish?He is not stupid if he lowers the price again.

Let's sell things, depending on the atmosphere, a group of people surround it, as long as someone starts, someone will follow suit.

For four yuan and five fish, Xu Shiyan would not lower the price even if he killed it. A few people were so cruel that they simply paid for one.

After a while, four more were sold, and I didn't move much after that. After all, few people are willing to spend money.

The rest of the people didn't leave, they were all looking around, they were waiting.

How long can fish live out of water in this hot weather?Four and five yuan for live fish, what about dead ones?It is estimated that two or three yuan can be bought.

No one bought fish, but a group of people were whispering around. Xu Shiyan could probably guess it when he saw this posture.

Looking at the remaining fish in the basket, Xu Shiyan also hesitated, should he lower the price?Is it really waiting for the fish to die before dealing with it cheaply?

"Young man, if it's time to lower the price, let's lower the price. Let's see what time it is? After a while, we'll all go home for dinner. Who will buy your fish?"

"Don't say my aunt didn't remind you, you guys are buying and selling, and someone will catch it. The person should come later, let him catch it, and you will have to pay a fine if the fish is gone."

"That's right, it's cheaper, three yuan a piece, we all buy it."

A few old ladies who wanted to pick up a bargain were chattering and bargaining there.

Xu Shiyan's sweat has already come down, basking in the sun, no matter how anxious he is, can he not sweat all over?
"Yo, what are you doing with so many people around?" Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

Xu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked where the sound came from.

I saw a person wearing a white Dacron shirt and light blue pants, who looked about 30 years old, white and fat, with a smile on his face.

Xu Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief if he didn't wear red armbands and didn't have a fierce face, then nothing happened.

"Brother, do you have a thin scale fish? It just came out of the water this morning, it's fresh." There are few fat people in this day and age, and this person is unusual at first glance.

"Yo, slender fish? Are you still alive? Why are you selling it?" The man immediately widened his eyes when he heard the slender fish, walked up to him in two steps, and carefully looked at the fish in the basket.

"Originally, it was said to be five yuan a piece. If the elder brother wants it, four yuan and five will do." Xu Shiyan didn't dare to say two yuan a catty anymore, and directly quoted four yuan and five.

The man stretched out his hand and rummaged through the basket, and sure enough they were still alive, "Four dollars, I wrapped it up, how about it?"

"Ah?" Xu Shiyan was taken aback, there were still ten fish in the basket, Baoyuan?What does this man do?Who can eat so much? "Brother, are you kidding me?"

The man raised his head and glanced at Xu Shiyan, curled his lips, "Don't talk about you, if you double it, I want it too. Just say whether you want to sell it or not."

"Sell, sell." Ten fish will be rounded up directly, and the big customer belongs to it, so why don't you sell it?

"Okay, come with me, take the money." The man waved his hand, signaling Xu Shiyan to put his basket on his back and follow him.

When the group of spectators around saw it, they were not happy about it. "Hey, how can it be like this? We all want to buy fish, why did you wrap it up yourself?" Someone stepped forward to stop it.

"You are stupid, that is the head of the organization's logistics procurement team." A sharp-eyed person recognized the identity of that person.

Xu Shiyan was worried just now, afraid that the other party would lie to him, but when he heard that it was logistics procurement, he let go of his suspense.So he carried the basket on his back and quickly followed the man straight to the bureau compound.

"When the invoice is issued later, you will say two yuan per catty." Entering the agency compound, the man whispered something.

Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded quickly. "Hey, hey, I see, brother, don't worry."

Seeing Xu Shiyan being so upbeat, the man was very satisfied, he smiled and led Xu Shiyan to the logistics and finance department.

After weighing, invoicing, and paying, Xu Shiyan was asked to send the fish to the kitchen of the office cafeteria and pour it into a large tank filled with water.

"Old Chen, there is a fish with thin scales today. I will see your craftsmanship at noon, so I have to let the leader eat it." The fat man yelled at the back kitchen, and followed Xu Shiyan out.

When the two came to a secluded corner, Xu Shiyan hurriedly stuffed the money he had withdrawn just now into the man's hand. "Brother, thank you, you must keep this."

Ten fish were weighed, totaling 37 catties. Xu Shiyan kept 40 yuan and gave the other 34 yuan.

The man was very satisfied with Xu Shiyan being so sensible, he took the money and put it in his pocket, and looked him up and down again. "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you selling fish before?"

"It's the first time I've come back from a big house, and I need money urgently for something at home, so I have to." Xu Shiyan replied with a smile.

The big house refers to the Dongjiangyan Brigade.

In 1910, Wang Fenglin, a large ginseng family, hired workers to cultivate ginseng and built a five-room workshop here. At that time, it was a very big house, so it was called a big house.

Because it is on the bank of Songhua River in Toudao, it was originally a production team of Xigang Brigade, located on the riverside to the east of Xigang Brigade, so it was named Dongjiangyan Production Team, and later became a brigade.

For the locals, Dongjiangyan may not know where it is, but when it comes to big houses, they all nod to know.

"Yo, it's a big house, that's a good place, the yellow smoke in your place is good." The other party's eyes lit up.

The big house has good water, soil and climate, which is more suitable for the growth of yellow smoke. The quality of the yellow smoke produced is particularly good, and it is famous far and wide.

"Yes, yes, it's not the time yet. I'll send two handfuls to my elder brother when the yellow smoke is cut and dried in autumn." If you have two lives, if you don't have this kind of vision, then your work is in vain.

"I don't know your eldest brother's name? You see, I didn't bring anything with me when I went out.

Brother, the five yuan is my sympathy, you buy a pack of cigarettes. "Gritting his teeth, Xu Shiyan took out another five yuan and handed it to the man.
