Chapter 36: The only flaw?

Chu Xuan was not surprised by anything, and what's more, with her weight, she had a great advantage.

At the moment of collision, I could see the person clearly with the help of the light in the yard.

It’s Mu Chenze.

Chu Xuan braked suddenly and Mu Chenze dodged nimbly.

He didn't want to be crippled by Chu Xuan.

After Chu Xuan stood firm, he was about to ask, why did you come here in the middle of the night?

Mu Chenze had already explained his purpose. "I saw a light in your yard and guessed you were grilling fish fillets overnight. I just rented a truck to go to the city. Do you want to come with me and sell grilled fish fillets?"

It was like someone giving me a pillow when I was sleepy. Chu Xuan felt that Mu Chenze was a timely help.

He nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Where is the car? I'll carry the grilled fish fillets over. I'll carry them twice, and then carry them once more..."

Before she could finish, Mu Chenze interrupted softly, "Just wait at home. I'll have the truck driver pick you up in half an hour."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but praise him, "Dude, you're so thoughtful! Thank you! I'll go get some midnight snacks for us to eat on the way."

"good."

Mu Chenze left with a flashlight.

Chu Xuan watched his figure until she could no longer see him clearly and then she looked away.

I went back to the kitchen to say hello to my younger brother, told him about going to the city with the truck, and then started preparing supper.

Time is tight, so I can only make some simple pasta.

White flour pancake with scrambled eggs and chopped green onions.

With the help of his younger brother, Chu Xuan took less than twenty minutes to make more than a dozen fragrant egg pancakes. He left three pancakes for his younger brother as breakfast and wrapped the rest in a clean white cloth.

Wash and dry the backpack and basket in advance and place a clean white cloth in each.

The grilled fish fillets were stuffed into two large backpacks and two large baskets. They were light in weight but large in size and took up a lot of space.

The brother and sister carried it to the gate of the yard in several batches, and Chu Feng also brought over an old scale and a net bag.

The old scale is the one in Gao Meijuan's house.

When Chu Xuan reminded his younger brother to remember to buy a few more backpacks and baskets from Liu Zhaodi's house, the truck drove over.

The headlights are particularly bright in the dark night.

After the truck stopped, Mu Chenze jumped out of the passenger seat.

Help move the backpacks and baskets to the back seat of the truck.

The truck bed is full of live seafood, with a lot of ice and water, which is not suitable for storing dried grilled fish fillets.

Therefore, Chu Xuan, her grilled dried fish fillets, scales, net bags and the like were all placed in the back row.

For others, it was just a squeeze at most, but for Chu Xuan, it was quite crowded.

Under my feet, on my body, and around me.

Even so, Chu Xuan was still happy.

I was very excited when I thought that I could earn more than 200 yuan by selling more than 200 kilograms of grilled fish fillets.

The omelet was given to Mu Chenze for safekeeping.

After getting in the car, Mu Chenze introduced the truck driver to Chu Xuan, "This is Lin Yong, just call him Brother Lin."

Chu Xuan called out politely, "Hello, Brother Lin! Sorry to bother you!"

Lin Yong said generously while driving, "No trouble, I'm in this business. Your name is Chu Xuan, right? Chen Ze said you run a grilled fish fillet workshop."

This is a potential customer, and Lin Yong spoke very politely.

Chu Xuan smiled and replied, "Yes. Where is Brother Lin from?"

"I'm from Wenzhen, not far from your Dengzhen. I usually pick up work at the docks, so let me know in advance."

"Okay."

After the car drove out of the village, Mu Chenze suggested that Chu Xuan take this opportunity to take a nap.

Chu Xuan was indeed tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Yong and Mu Chenze were talking in a low voice.

Mu Chenze specifically told him not to spread the news that Chu Xuan went to the city with him.

Lin Yong naturally agreed immediately, after all, this was a long-term customer.

Next, it’s just small talk to avoid feeling sleepy.

Chu Xuan was woken up by Mu Chenze.

"Chu Xuan, we're already at the market. Wake up! All the stalls near the entrance are rented out. I've rented one inside for you."

Chu Xuan immediately came to his senses and said, "Thank you for helping me rent a stall. Don't you need to rent a stall?"

"No need. I have a regular customer base. Just deliver it over. I'll come find you after the delivery."

"good."

Chu Xuan got out of the car holding a basket of grilled fish fillets.

With the help of Mu Chenze, all the grilled fish fillets were moved to the stall in less than five minutes.

As soon as I set it up, someone came over and asked, "How much is the grilled fish fillet? Can I try it?"

"You can try it. It's two yuan per jin (approximately 5 jin) and over 5 jin, one yuan and eighty yuan per jin. There are three flavors: spicy, sweet and spicy, and salty and sweet..."

Chu Xuan had a smile on her face and was busy greeting customers, so she didn't bother to see when Mu Chenze left.

After Mu Chenze sat in the passenger seat of the truck, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Xuan's stall, muttering to himself, I never realized he was quite good at business.

The truck drove away.

The unique and tempting aroma of Chu Xuan's grilled fish fillets wafted through the market, and many people came here attracted by the scent.

Most of the people who come here are here for wholesale.

I buy more than ten or twenty kilograms at a time.

In less than half an hour, Chu Xuan sold more than 100 kilograms.

She left 5 kilograms of food for Liu Chao, a market worker, in advance, intending to deliver it to him when she closed the stall.

Just weighed and put into the net bag.

A portly man in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, weighing perhaps two hundred pounds, walked up to the stall and said, "Last night, I heard Liu Chao say there's a place in the market that sells delicious grilled fish fillets. Could they be talking about your place?"

Chu Xuan didn't expect that Liu Chao would also help with promotion and give him a commission if the deal was done.

He said enthusiastically, "This is my house. Look, I just set aside five pounds for him. Try it before you buy. There are three flavors. Try them all..."

Patted the dried fish fillets in the net bag.

The man was not polite. He not only tasted every flavor, but also tasted different positions, like a quality inspector doing random inspections.

Chu Xuan did not stop him because he was very self-conscious and used the small bamboo clips he brought with him.

After tasting it, he asked, "If I buy all of it, how much would it cost per pound?"

"Over five jins, it's 1.8 yuan per jin. If you take all of it, I'll charge you 1.6 yuan per jin. How about that?"

Small profits but quick turnover.

Maybe this is a regular customer base.

The man didn't continue to bargain. "Okay! You don't have a large scale here. I'll have someone come over to move it. I'll just borrow a large scale from the market office to weigh it once."

"No need to call for help, I'll do it myself."

There were about 90 kilograms left. Chu Xuan gritted his teeth, carried the backpack and carried the bamboo basket and moved it over in one trip.

Take the five pounds left for Liu Chao with you as well.

After she moved it to the door of the market office and put it down, the man said with admiration, "You've gained all this weight in vain. I gained all this weight in vain. I can't even breathe after carrying dozens of kilograms!"

Chu Xuan panted heavily, "I'm just excited about making...making money. Normally, I can't lift...something this heavy."

The man laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

"We're both big, fat guys. It's fate that we can become clients. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yuan Yueban."

Chu Xuan suppressed her laughter. "Yue" and "ban" together form the Chinese character for "fat." She introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Yuan! My name is Chu Xuan. From now on, as long as it doesn't rain, I'll come to the market every day to sell grilled fish fillets."

"That's great! If I can sell your goods well, I'll cooperate with you for a long time."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news."

As we were talking, the grilled fish fillets were weighed, totaling 96.3 jin, or 154.08 yuan.

I charged him 154 yuan and gave him the backpack, basket and white cloth containing the grilled fish fillets.

After paying the bill, Chu Xuan took the five pounds of grilled fish fillets left for Liu Chao and wanted to ask his colleague to give them to him, but Liu Chao happened to come to take over.

Liu Chao was about to pay, but Chu Xuan stopped him. "Thanks to your publicity, otherwise how would I have met a big client like Boss Yuan? I'll go get something from the temporary stall first, and come back to talk to you later."

Give Liu Chao a look that says you understand.

Liu Chao is a smart man, "Okay."

Another empty backpack, a carrying basket, a scale, a net bag, etc. were still on the temporary stall.

When she returned to the stall, she searched for a long time but couldn't find the scale.

"Who used my scale?"

That's putting it mildly.

I didn't shout directly, who stole my scale.
