Chapter 87 Buying Fish
When Lin Qiuyue's carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, she asked Niu Er to stop first. After she got off the carriage, she saw a man carrying a big fish walking in front of them.

"Brother Qingmu, did you catch this fish from the river?"

When she saw the big fish, Lin Qiuyue's mind flashed to boiled fish, pickled fish, fish in soy pot, steamed fish... all kinds of fish preparations, and those missed tastes.

Su Qingmu turned around and saw Lin Qiuyue. He nodded and said, "Yes, I caught it in the river. There are still people there. If Qiuyue wants one, you can pick one up.

Oh, by the way, you probably don’t raise pigs at home. Do you want to bring them back to eat? "

Su Qingmu thought that Lin Qiuyue's house had just been built and the pigs were not being fed, but the villagers were clearing land for her.

"What? Brother Qingmu, are you feeding this to pigs?"

Lin Qiuyue thought he was taking the fish back to eat. Taking it back to feed the pigs would be a waste of natural resources. The river fish is so delicious.

"Yes, it is possible that something so fishy is eaten. Of course it is fed to pigs."

Su Qingmu said of course, the villagers got some small fish, which can also be fried and eaten. Such a big fish has a fishy smell and is very unpalatable. The meat is still firewood, and it consumes oil and salt. Rural people eat it. If you can't afford it, you might as well feed the pigs and still gain two ounces of meat.

Lin Qiuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "Brother Qingmu, can you sell this fish to me?"

"You want to buy it? Do you want to buy it to eat?"

Su Qingmu asked looking at such a big fish in his hand.

"No, I'll sell it. My senior brother has opened a restaurant in the county town. The fish they cook is delicious. It would be a pity for you to feed such a big fish to pigs. Why don't I send it to the restaurant and let them sell it."

Lin Qiuyue had no choice but to tell him this, saying that if he sold it in his hot pot shop, he would make money and make people jealous.

She said that the money earned from selling it to Second Senior Brother's restaurant was not hers, and she was jealous of her.

What's more, these fish are all ownerless fish. If they can sell them for a little money, of course they are willing to do so.

Sure enough, after Su Qingmu heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, then take this Yu Qiuyue girl and give me a few copper coins."

It's better to sell it for money than to feed it to pigs. You can always sell it for a few copper coins, right?

Lin Qiuyue shook her head: "How can I give it casually? Just buy it according to the price of the meat."

The general price of meat is that fat meat is fifteen cents per catty, and lean meat is cheaper, twelve cents per catty. Lin Qiuyue is prepared to pay twelve cents.

The price of fifteen cents per kilogram was reached at once, and it would be difficult to increase the price in the future.

Su Qingmu didn't expect Lin Qiuyue to give such a high price, so he hurried back to weigh it, and then sold the fish to Lin Qiuyue with a smile.

This fish is twelve catties and three taels, which is calculated as twelve catties, and the total is one hundred four ten four cents.

Su Qingmu looked at the copper plate in his hand and couldn't believe that the fish he brought back had been sold for so much. He swallowed his saliva. This could buy a lot of food and winter supplies.

Thinking that fishing was still happening by the river, he immediately asked: "Sister Qiuyue, do you still want this fish?"

Lin Qiuyue nodded: "One more thing. If Brother Qingmu wants to go to the river, tell the folks in the village that as long as they are willing to sell the fish to me, they can sell it to me. I will wait here."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Su Qingmu ran back and took the bucket and ran towards the river.

Lin Qiuyue went to the village chief's house now. Since the villagers could catch fish, she asked the village chief to mobilize the villagers to go fishing in the river. She would harvest the fish for many years.

This is also an income for the villagers. Anyway, it is just some labor and no capital is needed.

The village chief was also packing his things and preparing to go to the river. When he saw Lin Qiuyue coming, he thought he was here to do something again, so he asked: "Girl Qiuyue, what do you want to do here?" Lin Qiuyue looked at it. The village chief looked like he was going to the river. He nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, are you going to the river?"

The village chief also nodded: "Yes, today a few people in the village who went out to fish for others came back. They went to the river to fish and caught big fish. My uncle also went to take a look."

Several people in the village go to distant seaside every year to fish for the fish there, and their annual income is more than what they earn in the town or county.

But every year after winter, the sea freezes and it becomes impossible to catch fish, so they always come back at this time.

Lin Qiuyue didn't know this clearly. After listening to the village chief, she learned that people in their village still went to the coast.

But now is not the time to ask about this matter, she said: "I was just about to tell my uncle about this matter. I saw that they all brought it back to feed the pigs, so I was thinking of my senior brother who opened restaurants in the county and the city. There is not much to sell this winter, so I am thinking of selling this fish in a restaurant to have multiple dishes.

My uncle went to the river and told the people in the village that I would accept whatever they were willing to sell to me.

I just bought Uncle Mu's. I bought it at the price of twelve cents per catty. "

"What? Is this fish so expensive?"

The village chief was extremely surprised.

Lin Qiuyue: "Yes, uncle, that's why I came to you. This is also an income. Anyway, everyone has nothing to do at home now. It's still possible to get more while it hasn't snowed yet."

I'll wait at the entrance of the village. Anyone who wants to sell can come to me.

Also, uncle, please lend me the big barrel you use to store rice, and I will use it to store fish. "

If she bought it at such an expensive price, he would definitely sell it to her later.

"Okay, okay, that's great. The people in the fish village didn't like it. It had a fishy smell and they all used it to feed the pigs. Now it's good and can be sold for a lot of money. Then you Wait, I will ask your brother Qinghu to deliver the bucket to the entrance of the village for you."

The village chief was very happy after hearing this. He put down the tools in his hands and ran back quickly, asking his second son Su Qinghu to bring the rice bucket to Lin Qiuyue and move it to the entrance of the village.

After giving the instructions, he said something to Lin Qiuyue and ran quickly to the river.

There is a large river at the entrance of Qingshan Village. Lu Xiaoxiang asked her to go down to the river to catch fish, and it was in that river that she caught fish. She caught a cold and had a fever and fell into a coma. When she woke up, she realized that she had lived again.

I never thought there were such big fish in the river.

Lin Qiuyue waited for Su Qinghu to arrive at the entrance of the village together. After Su Qinghu put down the big bucket, he also ran to the river.

Lin Qiuyue called Xiaofu down to help, and asked Erniu to rent an oxcart in the village.

They were preparing here. On the other side, when Su Qingmu came to the river again, he saw many more fish caught, thrown into the dry fields by the river, and still jumping around in the fields.

"Brother Shui, come here."

Su Qingmu shouted to a man picking fish from a fishing net.

Su Qingshui was one of the people who went to the coast to help the fishermen fish, and he was also Su Qingmu's cousin. He looked up and saw Su Qingmu. He put down the net in his hand and let the other people watch. He picked up the fish in his hand and walked over.

"what's wrong?"

"Brother Shui, I have good news for you. This fish can be sold for twelve cents per catty. Lin Qiuyue from the east of the village wants to buy it. I just sold the fish for more than a hundred cents."

Su Qingmu said excitedly, and after that, he took out the copper plate he just sold and showed it to Su Qingshui.
