Chapter 40 40: Taking a ride at a state-owned hotel

After the beginning of spring, the sun rises early.

Before five o'clock in the morning, the chickens began to crow.

People in the village began to get up one after another, boiling water for cooking.

Old man Su remembered the old lady's instructions yesterday and went to the backyard pond to watch the fish.

It was incredible to see that it was so densely packed that all the fish were about to jump out.

"Old woman, old woman!" Old Man Su saw this scene for the first time.

"What's wrong? He's already dozens of years old and he's still so unstable."

"I...the pond is full of fish."

"Is the fish full?" Mrs. Su looked very calmly and took a look.

"Look at you, you're still not calm after so many times.

Go and ask the two brothers to get up and catch fish, and then send them to the town to sell. "

Hundreds of fish, large and small, were crowded into a pond, and they couldn't breathe.

Once in the big bucket, he became quiet and stopped taking pictures of the water flowers.

There was no shortage of fish and eggs at home, so they asked the father and son to go to the town to sell them while it was still early.

The money earned from selling fish is used to support the family. The children have lunch at school and have to pay for their meals.

Even if you open your mouth seven or eight times, you’ll still have to pay one dollar a day.

It's more than 30 a month, and Mrs. Su doesn't feel bad.

When they arrived in town, the father and son did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but turned around and went to the factory gate.

Following the shouts of people on the road, there was a bullock cart parked under a big tree not far from the factory gate, "I'm selling fish, big and fresh fish."

Next to the factory area are family homes, with many customers coming and going.

"A fish seller?"

Mrs. Su said with an honest face, "Hey, we sell fish, eight cents per catty, do you want to buy one?

The large white fish raised in my own pond has more meat and fewer spines. "

I caught a big silver carp casually and each one of the fish in the bucket weighed more than six kilograms.

There are only silver carp and black fish, both of which are fat and have few spines.

“What you’re selling is not expensive, but the fish is too big.

I can't eat it after I buy it.Is there a smaller one? "

“I’m really sorry, we only raise big fish, not small fish.

It weighs five or six kilograms if you grab it casually. "The fish jumped out of Boss Su's hand.

More and more people came to watch, "The fish seller? There are also eggs, which are much bigger than those on the market."

"How to sell the fish? What's the price of the eggs?"

“Fish costs [-] cents per catty and eggs cost [-] cents each. Our eggs are all double yolk eggs.

If it's not double yolk, I'll pay you for it. Just these eggs, you can't buy them for even a dime at the supply and marketing cooperative.

It has to be sold for at least [-] cents. If you see it, pick it up quickly. The price is the same for both big and small ones. "Su Laoer said.

This flexibility made the father and son look at him with admiration. The second child can do it.

The woman looked around and saw that there were crowds of people. "I, I will buy it! I will pick out ten eggs and go back."

You are trying to catch a fish for me, and the head must be weighed sufficiently. If it is empty, I will come back to you. "

"Oh, your fish is so big. It looks fresh. I haven't seen such a big fish in many years."

"Sister, did you just say that if you don't want that much, let's buy it together.

Is it possible to buy it back and buy half of it for each person?There are also few people in my family. "

In less than an hour, the fish were sold out. Some people thought the fish were not big enough and bought two directly.

When the father and son were preparing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, a man with a big belly ran over.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

The father and son turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We have sold out everything. I want to buy it tomorrow."

"No, no, I want to ask you, can your fish be supplied directly to our restaurant?
We are in a state-owned hotel. My cook just bought fish from you. It is big and fresh.I haven’t seen a big fish for a long time, and the customers are tired of eating pork..."

The father and son looked at each other and said, "Dad, what do you think?"

"I think it's a bit outrageous. Who knows if he is a liar?"

"Are you really from a state-owned hotel?"

"That's for sure. How can someone who doesn't work in a state-owned hotel have such good fortune?" The man was short and fat.

The father and son were dubious.

"Then you will take us to see it?"

When you go out, you must be on guard against others.

As soon as he entered the state-owned hotel, the counter staff called him Manager Jia.

"Do you believe it now? We accept all your fish and eggs, which are higher than what you sold just now.

Fish is only one yuan per catty, and eggs are better calculated at ten cents. "

"This..." This is the first time they have seen someone take the initiative to raise the price.

"It's because the things you buy are of good quality, so I'm willing to give you a high price. If you have good things in the future, think of sending them to me."

One way to win people over is to agree to send a hundred pounds of fish and two hundred eggs tomorrow.

It was not easy to come to town, so they stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.

It’s not cost-effective to come here just to sell something.

This time, Old Man Su bought a puppy. There are many things in the house, so it is indispensable to buy a dog to guard the door.

I passed by a butcher shop and bought a pound of ribs, ten pounds of meat, and some pork liver.

Now you don’t need a ticket to buy meat, you can buy it with money.

Last time I took Su Hanlin to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that she needed to take iron supplements, and she could drink some pork liver soup or something.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and brought some daily necessities, toothpaste, soap, washing powder and some condiments for cooking. Now that the food at home is delicious, we cannot do without these condiments.

Malted milk is naturally indispensable. After Su Hanlin started teething, she drank less and less often, so it didn't cost much.

This kid also came to save trouble and would rather eat vegetables than drink malted milk.

Even adults can't understand why malted milk is so sweet.

Why would you rather eat?

After eating and drinking broth, my bones are now stronger than those of the children in the village. I can crawl and stand without any problem.

You must know that Su Hanlin is only seven months old, and children of the same age develop slower than her.

Will simple words pop up, such as "grandpa", "uncle", "grandmother", "sister", etc.

This girl just can’t scream, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because the word “niang” is too difficult.

The father and son were quite afraid of meeting acquaintances. If they met people from the village and saw them going to town again to buy so many things, they might not know what they would say in the village again.

Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone along the way.

In addition, they live at the intersection and do not pass through the village.

The bullock cart stopped and was hitched.

The three people quickly moved their things and got out of the car. As soon as they entered the door, they took their things into the house.

Old man Su was helping behind. As soon as Su Sanzhu finished eating recently, he was driven to work in the paddy fields.

The fields have been plowed and need to be watered and fertilized from time to time.

When planting paddy fields, you need to go to the fields from time to time to check the water conditions. If there is no water, the rice will dry up.

“Mom, all the money left from selling fish and eggs is here.

We also took on a big business and will deliver [-] pounds of fish and [-] eggs to a state-owned hotel tomorrow. "

"What? Are you connected to the state-owned hotel?

Then we will sell it directly to state-owned hotels? "

“Yes, people came to us and said that the fish we raised were big and of good quality.

They charge us one yuan per pound.Two hundred pounds, only 200 yuan! "Boss Su said while digging into his trouser pockets, wondering if there was any missing money.
