Chapter 9 Earned Money

  The fat man was very satisfied with Xu Shiyan's understanding and understanding, and nodded repeatedly.

   "My surname is Guo, as you heard just now, I'm in charge of logistics and purchasing. By the way, how many fish are there in your river?" He reached out to take the money and asked seemingly casually.

  Xu Shiyan understood, and immediately replied, "It's okay, I can hang a net, and I can always catch a few each time, but not necessarily all thin scales."

  The man nodded, "Well, you send me fish every other week, preferably with thin scales, carp is nothing interesting."

   It’s not that carp is not delicious, the key is that it’s cheap, and there’s not much money to be made.

   "Hey, hey, okay, thank you Brother Guo, don't worry, I will definitely pick the best one and send it to you." Xu Shiyan was very happy. I didn't expect to be lucky today and meet a big client.

   Sending them back once a week, based on today’s calculation, can earn 40 yuan per trip. How about a month? Isn't it more profitable than going to the Da'an Coal Mine?

  Besides, if you take this line, there may be other benefits in the future, and the five yuan is not a loss.

   "Success, I'm still busy, so I won't keep you. Come back another day, brother, I'll treat you to a drink." This is purely polite, and no one needs to take it seriously.

  Xu Shiyan naturally didn't take it to heart, he only thanked the other party, and left the bureau compound with a basket on his back.

  As soon as I came out from here, I saw that the open space just now was empty, and there was a man in a blue uniform with a red armband shouting at the other end.

  Xu Shiyan secretly rejoiced that it was thanks to this guy surnamed Guo, otherwise he would get so many fish, and these people would have caught them if they didn't keep them all.

   Even if you can get away, but the business cannot be done, what to do with so many fish?

  With fifty-seven yuan in his pocket and an empty basket on his back, Xu Shiyan walked briskly into the store.

  Tomorrow, I want to accompany my daughter-in-law back home, so how can I go empty-handed? Why don't you have to buy something.

  Two catties of trough cake, two bottles of wine, and two cans, this time the door gift is generous enough.

   In addition, buy some things you need to live in, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. If you don’t want a ticket, buy some. If you want a ticket, there is nothing to do.

   Turning around and seeing cosmetics at the counter over there, I thought of my little daughter-in-law again. Although my daughter-in-law is only twenty-two, her skin is very fair and fair, and she needs to take care of it.

   Friendship brand cream, Xie Fu spring hair oil, colorful balm, all come to a portion.

  Just as I was about to go out, I saw a lot of people crowded there and didn't know what they were grabbing. Xu Shiyan leaned over curiously and found that he was grabbing fabric.

  The broken flowers are really good. They should be the defective products of the printing and dyeing factory's test machines. They don't need a ticket, and they cost one yuan and five feet, which is cheaper than fine white cloth.

   "What are you grabbing for? Stay back and go in line." The salesperson in this year is not used to it, and shouted angrily with a sullen face.

   "Each person is limited to five feet, and you are not allowed to choose colors and patterns. Everyone prepares one yuan, and pays the money to get the cloth and leave. If anyone is crowded, I will kick him out."

  When the people in front of the counter heard this, they lined up obediently. Xu Shiyan took the opportunity to sneak in and got in the middle.

   When it was Xu Shiyan's turn, it happened to be a piece of cloth with pink and light green small florals. The color was quite vivid, but the patterns were misplaced. For one yuan, it is not a loss to buy it.

  Spent nearly 20 yuan and bought everything I could buy, so I was satisfied and walked back all the way with the basket on my back.

  The return trip went downhill all the way, and the things were not that heavy, so I walked faster and crossed Jiang Daojia, it was almost 1:30.

   "Daughter-in-law, I'm back. Is there any food at home? I didn't eat at noon." Xu Shiyan asked loudly as soon as he entered the door.

  Xu Shiyan called out, and two people came out from Westinghouse, Su Anying and her mother-in-law Zhou Guilan.

   "Mom, why are you here?" Xu Shiyan was taken aback when he saw his mother.

   "Come and see you two." Mrs. Xu sighed, and took out ten yuan from her pocket.

   "Your father's stubborn old man can make him mad. Use the money first, and go back home with Yingzi tomorrow. At least buy two things. Don't embarrass your father-in-law."

  The old lady is worried about her son and daughter-in-law, so she came here to take a look and give some money to save her son from embarrassment.

   "Mom, you don't need to give me money, I have it. I have already bought everything for returning home tomorrow, look." Xu Shiyan unloaded the basket and handed it to his mother.

  There are a lot of things in the back basket, Zhou Guilan took a look, at least 20 yuan.

   "Where did you get all these things? This, is this the proper way? Saner, we don't care whether we live rich or poor, but we must never do such wicked things."

  Zhou Guilan was taken aback, for fear that her son would be confused for a while and not do a good job.

   "Mom, come in and tell me." Xu Shiyan carried the basket in one hand and supported his mother in the other, followed by Su Anying, and the three of them entered the West Room and closed the door to talk.

   "Mom, this is the money I went to sell fish in Songjiang River in the morning." Xu Shiyan told his mother all about his going to sell fish without hiding it.

   "Mom, don't worry, the money must come from the right place, and your son got it with his ability. Don't you know what the child you raised yourself?" After finishing speaking, he still did not forget to comfort his mother.

  As soon as she heard that the money was not stolen, Zhou Guilan was somewhat relieved, but after thinking about it, that was wrong.

   "I'm all blaming your father, that old ghost, what's the fuss?" An angry Zhou Guilan complained.

   "How far have you pushed the child? If you can live on, how can you take this risk? If this is caught, it will be fine?" Zhou Guilan felt sorry for her son, and she shed tears as she spoke.

   "Hey, Mom, why are you crying? I'm just selling some agricultural and sideline products, and I'm not just throwing away some scarce supplies. It's okay." Xu Shiyan saw it and hurriedly persuaded him.

   "From now on, I'll deliver it directly to the office cafeteria, and I won't sell fish outside, so don't worry." Xu Shiyan talked hard, and finally persuaded his mother.

  Zhou Guilan stopped her tears, and only then remembered that her son said that she hadn't eaten yet.

   "Yingzi, is there any food at home? The third child just said that he hasn't eaten yet. He's been busy for a long time, hurry up and get him something to eat."

   "Yes, the big porridge cooked at noon is probably still warm at the moment, so I'll clean it up right away." Su Anying slipped out of the Westinghouse and cleaned up the food for Xu Shiyan.

  The porridge is ready-made, put it into a thick bowl, cut two slices of pickles, go to the field to pick up a green onion, and deal with it for a meal.

   There is no need to put a table anymore, Xu Shiyan took a small bench and sat down in front of the pot table, picked up the bowl and ate.

  The big ballast porridge is well cooked, the taste is soft and glutinous, and there are large white beans in the porridge. There is no chemical fertilizer in the grain in this year, so it tastes very grainy and fragrant.

  Big porridge is lukewarm and refreshing to eat, and then there is a bite of pickles and green onions. Although the farm food is simple, it is very comfortable to eat.

   Zhou Guilan saw that her son had nothing to worry about, so she asked Su Anying to leave.

  She had to go back to find Xu Chenghou to settle the score. She looked down on the third child all day long, but looking at it now, the third child left home, didn't he live a good life?

   Regarding the price of fish, some readers said it was too high. This is really not high. I asked my dad. My dad is seventy-two this year. Back then, our family lived in a big house, and he used to fish and sell it.

   No matter what era the fine scale fish is, it seems to cost as little as 300 yuan a catty now.

   At that time, the price of goods was very low, catfish cost only ten cents per catty. My dad said that at that time, when there was a fish season, a thousand catties of catfish could be caught in one night.
