Exiled to Lingnan, my plants are miraculous

Chapter 50 Hot sales of salted fish

"Shopkeeper, does anyone buy this? It smells so good, especially after it's fried, that the smell makes my wife vomit."

Wearing a green gown and a felt hat made of rabbit fur, the elegant man glanced at the long-term worker dressed like a bear without saying a word, and his eyes said everything.

The long-term worker shut his mouth with a wink. Whatever the boss wanted to sell, whether he could sell it or not was a headache for the shopkeeper. If he had anything to do with him, he wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Today is market day, and nearby villages will come to their grocery store to buy some daily necessities. The best-selling items are rice and pork. I wonder if this smelly salted fish can be sold.

"Fuguier, take three salted fishes to the kitchen and fry them. When the customers come, give them a try."

Changgong Fugui'er's eyes lit up, it was indeed like this.

The taste of this salted fish is so strong that I initially disliked it, but since I tried it, I have fallen in love with it. I have to try it first before I buy it. The shopkeeper is very clever.

"Ugh, what does it smell like here? Are there any dead rats?"

A broad-shouldered woman walked in with a backpack on her back and her nose covered, her eyes showing disgust at all.

The shopkeeper had already been mentally prepared, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to greet him.

"It turns out to be Aunt Zhou! What do you want to buy this time? There is a new product in our grocery store, salted fish. It is newly added to the shelves today. Buy one catty and get one catty free. Five cents per catty."

The shopkeeper took the opportunity to take out the salted fish piled at the front so that she could see it up close.

"This is fish from the sea. It has been dried in the sun, and the fish scales, internal organs, and gills have been cleaned. You can take this back and eat it, fry it, steam it, or stew it. It is all delicious!"

"Delicious? Shopkeeper, I'm afraid you're telling lies. This salted fish is sold so cheaply. Could it be that it's broken and making money from us?"

Aunt Zhou is the most shrewd woman in the ten miles and eight towns, and the most difficult to get along with. If she doesn't explain clearly today, then they won't be able to sell the salted fish in their store.

"Fugui'er, Fugui'er, are you done frying it? Give Aunt Zhou a little to try.

Aunt Zhou, this is a fish in the sea, the sea knows it! The provincial capital next door to us is right next to the sea, with an endless blue ocean and countless fish in it.

These salted fish are made from the most common fish, so the price is much cheaper. If you think of the fresh fish here, it costs eight cents per catty, and the fish has not been scaled and gutted, so it is almost twice as expensive. "

The shopkeeper caught their greed for petty gains very well, and he knew which one to choose by comparing the two.

"I'm coming."

Fugui'er came out with a plate of salted fish. The freshly cooked salted fish had a stronger taste.

"Aunt Zhou, try it quickly. This salted fish is really delicious. Although it doesn't smell very good, it still tastes good."

Aunt Zhou quickly jumped aside when Fu Gui'er came up to her. Her movements were so fast and her body was so flexible that Fu Gui'er was even a little injured.

"What does it look like? It looks like feet that haven't been washed for eight hundred years. Do you dare to ask me to eat such a thing? Do you think I am a fool?"

Aunt Zhou was so excited that her voice doubled in volume, instantly attracting pedestrians on the street and surrounding neighbors.

In fact, they had smelled this smell for a long time, but they were too embarrassed to say it. They just wanted to watch the excitement now.

The elegant shopkeeper still kept a faint smile, without looking angry at all, and reached for a piece of salted fish.

Because it is fried in rapeseed oil, it is golden and crispy, with an oily shine on it, and you can see the unique fiber of the fish.

"It's really delicious. You really don't want to try it?"

Aunt Zhou saw the shopkeeper eating so deliciously, with the oil on the corner of her mouth and the expression of enjoyment. Could it be that it was really delicious?
  Unable to control her hands, she reached for a piece and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, holding her breath in an attempt to block out the stench. Her eyes lit up the next second.

The slightly burnt fish skin is a thin layer that is extremely elastic. The fish meat is firm and tastes particularly meaty. It is full of salty flavor. If you taste the fish bones carefully, they are crispy and you can almost swallow them directly after chewing a few times.

Although it smells fishy, ​​there is a strange burnt aroma in the mouth.

"Well, it's delicious. Let's have another piece."

Aunt Zhou still wanted to take it from the plate brought by Fu Gui'er, but Fu Gui'er had already gotten the hint from the shopkeeper and walked away.

"Aunt Zhou, this is a tasting. There are so many guests outside, you won't eat them too!"

Fu Guier walked towards the crowd watching the excitement at the door with a plate in hand, preparing to take advantage of the heat to promote the salted fish.

"Dear uncles and aunts, you just heard that Aunt Zhou said it was delicious. You should try it and see how it tastes. The salted fish in our grocery store only costs five cents a pound. This is dried salted fish. If If your family is in trouble, this thing can be used as salt."

People watching the excitement at the door saw Aunt Zhou wanting another piece and stretched out their paws. They were all poor people and could not eat anything as long as it was not poisonous.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"It's so delicious. It only costs five cents. I want to buy more to go with the wine."

"It smells bad but tastes delicious. It's strange."

"fragrant."

"Weigh me ten pounds. This is a good snack. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is more cost-effective than sugar!"

"Everyone, listen to me. Today is the first day that salted fish is put on the shelves. Buy one pound and get one pound free. Only today is the price. Salted fish can last for half a year as long as it is kept in a dry place. You can buy it with confidence."

When the shopkeeper saw that it was almost done, he came out to take charge of the overall situation.

"Give me twenty pounds, not forty pounds. If you buy more, I won't have to buy salt for half a year, hahaha!"

"Bring me thirty pounds."

"Bring me fifty pounds, just enough to entertain the long-term workers. This can be considered a meat dish, so it's cheap."

Everyone rushed to grab it, and the salted fish that was originally piled outside was sold out. Fortunately, the warehouse had prepared a lot of salted fish, so there was no need to worry about running out of anything to sell.

The crazy buying here also attracted more people, and the stocks in grocery stores were sold out after publicity.

The unique "smell" of salted fish comes from every household, and many people also fall in love with salted fish.

This scene was staged in various towns and villages in Daqian. Anyway, the salted fish was already sold out, and the prisoners in Lingnan also made their first pot of gold.

Lin Yue took the remaining children in Baixiang Village to catch abalone and lobster as much as possible, make dried seafood, and exchanged money to buy cold-repelling medicinal materials and nourishing ingredients for the body.

When they came back in the evening, everyone still had a large bucket of potion to take a bath, so everyone's body was not wasted or damaged, but became stronger and healthier.

Lin Yue is also planning to go to Weng Toubai's hometown - an unknown beach to find out.

If she wants to become stronger, she needs to have more trump cards. Now she has no use except for the wood power that can spawn vines. Training and upgrading are also very far away. Now she can't wait that long.
