Farmer girl with space for good farming

Chapter 138 The Second Fund (2)

Not to mention, when Mu Li yelled, several people actually stopped to look at the loach in her two buckets.

"Little sister, how do you sell this loach?" An old lady asked, pointing to the loach in the bucket.

"Auntie, this loach costs 28 cents a catty." Mu Li said.When setting up the stall, she already knew the fish prices of other fish stalls.

People in this era don’t have so many fishing boats and nets, and there are no specialized fish farmers, and no one regards selling fish as their main business. Therefore, there are far fewer stalls selling fish than poultry such as chicken, duck, and pork, and the price is naturally lower. Not low.

"It's so expensive." The aunt was dissatisfied. Other fish only cost about 25 Wen, so why did this little girl ask for 28 Wen.

"Auntie, loach is not easy to catch. It took my whole family to catch these two buckets of loach for half a month. Besides, look how fat these loaches are." Mu Li also caught a loach for her. Look, "Look at how fat this loach is, one loach weighs less than half a catty."

In fact, there is no need to catch it to see, most of the loach in these two buckets is of this weight, and it can be seen, but grab it so that she can see more clearly how good her loach is, so don't bargain.

This aunt was very tempted, but it was too expensive, so it would be cheaper for Mu Li.

"Auntie, you are the first customer. If you want to buy more, how about a catty and you will lose two pennies?" Mu Li said.

"25 Wen, I'll buy two catties." The aunt said.

"No, two catties can only be counted as 26 Wen." Mu Li smiled, "Auntie, you see that catching so many loaches has to be counted as labor costs. My family caught so many loaches without going to work in the field for more than half a month. , if I buy less money, I won’t be able to explain to my mother when I go home.”

"Then why didn't your mother come to sell it, but you two brothers and sisters came instead?" the aunt asked again, thinking that the mother's heart is really big enough to let such young children come out to set up a stall.

"My mother and father both work at home. I have nothing to do, so I went out to sell." Mu Li smiled, "Auntie, it's really kind to chat with you. If I'm not afraid of being scolded when I go home, I will send you a gift." Any catty will do."

"You little girl has a really sweet mouth, all right, weigh me two catties."

"Okay, brother, weigh two catties for auntie."

That's it for the first sale.

Mu He weighed two catties for the aunt.

Two catties and 52 Wen were put into Mu Li's pocket.

The first sale was completed, and the rest became easier. Under Muli's urging, many people came to her to see the loach. Of course, some people thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it, but most of them bought it back during bargaining. There are half a catty, one catty, two catties, and three catties.

Mu Li set the price in this way, no less for less than one catty, 27 Wen for one catty, 26 Wen for two catties, and 25 Wen for more than three catties.

Some people still want to talk about 24 essays, but Mu Li ignored it and passed it with a smile.

However, most of them buy one catty or two catties, and three catties are rare.

As time passed, more and more people came to the market, and the two barrels of loach were quickly sold out in less than two hours.

After they were all sold out, Mu He excitedly asked Mu Li to count how much they had sold. Mu Li was speechless, "Brother, this is at the market, you want others to know that the two children have brought a huge sum of money." 'ah?

"Let's figure it out at home."

In fact, Mu Li had already calculated when collecting the money. The loach was 34 catties in total, and it was sold for a total of 910 Sanwen, which is nearly a tael of silver.

Mu Li was satisfied, after all, being so tanned all this time was not in vain.
