Chapter 29 One Tael of Silver

Song Hexiu found the stall manager and paid him today's stall fee.

He then went to see the prices of seafood sold by most people today, and after getting a general understanding, he returned to his children and prepared to set up the stall.

The two children took the initiative to move all the seafood from the cart, arranged them neatly, and then pushed the cart behind them.

None of the three had ever done business before, and this kind of thing was considered a good thing in the Song family.

Basically, Li Cuicui brought her two sons to the city to sell them.

I was afraid that the eldest wife and daughters-in-law would swallow the money when they came to sell the house.

But even if you haven’t eaten pork legs, haven’t you seen a pig run?

His children are working so hard, if Song Hexiu gets stage fright, he would not be worthy of being a father.

After negotiating the price with his children, Song Hexiu coughed lightly and said loudly, "Everyone, come and see, these are fresh seafood, all alive."

Song Chuhuai also repeated, "Fresh seafood, all live seafood."

Whenever Song Chuman saw her father hawking his wares, she always felt that he didn't fit in here.

He looks too bookish and too thin, not at all like a fisherman.

A shopping woman came over with a servant behind her. Seeing that Song Chuman's seafood was indeed full of live seafood, she was very satisfied and asked, "These seafood really look fresh. How much are they for?"

Song Hexiu glanced at the basin and three buckets in front of him. "They're sold by size. Large octopuses are 30 wen per jin, and small ones are 20 wen per jin. Large clams are 20 wen per jin, and small ones are 15 wen per jin. Swimming crabs are 100 wen each, and clams are 20 wen per jin."

The shopping woman frowned and said, "It's too expensive."

Song Chuman spoke softly, "Mother-in-law, our seafood is very fresh. Those dead octopuses are 25 or 26 cents per pound. Eating fresh ones is good for your health. And look, you can even see our clams spitting bubbles, and the crabs are still fighting."

The shopping woman saw Song Chuman and said with a smile, "This baby is so cute."

Song Chuman said sweetly: "Thank you, mother-in-law."

The shopping woman thought for a moment and said, "Never mind. Yours is indeed fresh. Give me four pounds each of large octopus and large clams, and five pounds of clams. But are these the only ten swimming crabs you have?"

Song Hexiu nodded: "Yes, we only found these ten."

“Can you lower the price?”

Song Chuman said with a pained look on her face: "Mother-in-law, this swimming crab is really big and alive. It's really delicious. We really can't lower the price."

"Okay, give me seven, plus the ones I just mentioned. How much is it?"

It is really difficult for a shopping woman to see a live swimming crab of this size.

In order to please the boss, I had to buy it even though it was expensive.

The three of them were delighted at the same time, and Song Hexiu began to calculate.

Song Chuman blurted out: "Mother-in-law, it's exactly one thousand copper coins, you can also give one or two taels of silver."

Song Hexiu and his son looked at their daughter (Ajie) in shock.

They haven't figured it out yet.

The shopping woman laughed and said, "You are a very quick-witted child."

Song Hexiu didn't have time to think about it and started to get busy.

Song Chuman hurriedly tied up the swimming crabs one by one with straw ropes.

Song Hexiu also took the borrowed scale and started weighing.

After a while, the three of them put everything the shopping woman needed into the basket she brought.

The purchasing woman also put one or two taels of silver in Song Hexiu's hand.

After the two left, Song Hexiu looked at the silver in his hand and felt a little excited.
