"Sister, is it brand new?" asked Haozi.
"Isn't that nonsense? Who still uses second-hand..." Yang Qing shut up immediately. In this doomsday where supplies are scarce, it is not impossible.
But when I thought about that possibility, I felt sick all over.
Leng Yi tried to suppress his laughter, and Yang Qing glared at him.
"Brand new, imported." Yang Qing took out a box of eighteen from his bag.
Leng Yi leaned over to take a look. There were three-in-one ultra-thin items, four-in-one exciting items, and magic and fun items...
Her ears turned red.
Why are there so many tricks?
Haozi looked at Leng Yi and then at Yang Qing, wanting to laugh but not daring to, "This is truly imported, a good thing. Five for a pound of pork..."
Yang Qing snatched it back and said, "You can find anyone you want to exchange it with. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, sister, I've already given you a discount. Others are charging eight for a pound of meat. What's the relationship between us? How could I cheat you?" Haozi said quickly.
"Can mine be the same as others? Mine is imported originals. How can it be compared with those domestic or second-hand ones? Don't think I don't understand. Rich people nowadays lack this. Can you afford to lose money?" Yang Qing sneered.
Haozi said with a bitter face, "Sis, you have to let us earn some money, right? How much do you want?"
"One for one pound. This box has eighteen, which means eighteen pounds of pork. Otherwise, no deal!" Yang Qing said and was about to leave.
Haozi quickly grabbed her and said, "Okay, okay, you're my sister, can't I change it for you?"
He leaned forward again, "Sister, do you have any more? There can't be only one box, you and brother-in-law..."
"Get lost!" Yang Qing flicked his forehead, and the tip of his ear turned red. "What are you asking about, kid?"
Leng Yi's eyes turned away and his face turned red.
"I still have one box here. Can you help me get a solar generator?" Yang Qing asked.
"Sister, a box of condoms in exchange for a solar generator? You are really good at business." Haozi complained.
Yang Qing smiled, "I know those rich people don't lack generators, they just need this thing. Sell this to them and you'll make a profit."
"Sister, you're my sister after all." Haozi smiled. "Okay, I'll go back and ask. If I can get it, I'll send it to you right away."
"But the thing..." Haozi looked at the Durex in Yang Qing's hand eagerly. This was what the rich people wanted the most, and they could make several times more money from it.
"Why, your goods haven't arrived yet, so I'll give you mine first? I'm not stupid."
"Then I have to give an explanation to Sister Cai, otherwise what if she thinks I'm bragging and refuses to give me the things? Sister, you still don't trust me? We have a life-or-death relationship."
"Besides, I still owe you two water tanks. I'll send them to you when the time comes."
Yang Qing thought for a moment and pulled out three from the box. "Then this will be your deposit. I'll give it to you once you've delivered the items. I'll definitely have two boxes!"
Yang Qing took out another box and waved it in front of Haozi. Haozi saw that it was unopened and quickly agreed, "Okay, wait for me, sister."
"It's best to send it over later in the evening so that no one can see it. The generator must be fully charged." Yang Qing lowered his voice.
"I understand, sister. This is not the first time we do business together." Haozi nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, can you give me an exhaust fan? That thing is not valuable..." Yang Qing said again.
"Okay, okay, you are my sister, I will give you one." Haozi was helpless. Sister Yang was really good at doing business.
But Sister Cai must be happy with this thing, so Haozi happily left with the three Durex products.
Leng Yi watched Yang Qing throw the things into the bag and couldn't help asking, "How come you have so many of these?"
"Ah, that..." Yang Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I saw it when I was out shopping and picked it up."
"Oh!" Leng Yi laughed.
Yang Qing was a little embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth."
"I believe it, and I didn't say anything." Leng Yi suppressed his laughter.
Yang Qing stretched out his fist and hit him, "You're still laughing, you're still laughing..."
The two of them walked around again, and Yang Qing discovered that someone was actually selling fish, which looked quite fresh.
“How much is this fish?”
"Two pounds of broken rice for one pound of fish." said the stall owner.
"It's too expensive." Yang Qing shook his head. Rice can be eaten every day, but fish cannot.
One pound of rice can produce two pounds of cooked rice, while one pound of fish may only produce half a pound or eight ounces. It also needs oil and other seasonings to cook it to make it delicious. Rice can be eaten plain.
"We just caught this fish this morning. It was still alive and kicking. If it weren't so cold, it would still be alive in the water."
"It took several of us a long time to dig through the ice, which was over a meter thick, and fish out this little bit from the hole. It was not easy."
Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other. Is there still fish to be caught?
"One pound of broken rice for one pound of fish. If you don't want to exchange, forget it." Yang Qing said.
"How much do you want?" asked the stall owner.
"About five pounds." Yang Qing replied.
"Forget it, I'll give it to you!" The stall owner was helpless. He had been standing here for a long time, freezing to death, and no one asked him anything. Finally, someone came, so he exchanged it for some rice to take home. Otherwise, he couldn't stand eating fish every day.
Five kilograms of rice can last for several days.
Yang Qing picked out five fish weighing about one kilogram each, took out five kilograms of broken rice from his bag, put them in a black bag and handed them over.
The stall owner also wrapped the fish in a black bag and gave it to Yang Qing.
To prevent the fish from wetting his backpack, Yang Qing took out a vacuum bag and put it in, pinching the opening to prevent the ice on the fish from melting and letting the water flow out.
"Let's go back?" Yang Qing put the fish into the backpack and looked at Leng Yi.
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded.
When they returned home and dumped the fish out, Lu Lin was surprised. "There's still fish? It's so fresh, where did it come from?"
"In exchange, one pound of broken rice for one pound of fish. Isn't that a good deal?" Yang Qing said with a smile.
"What a bargain! How could we buy this before? Let me see, there are small yellow croaker, sea bass, and hairtail? These were very expensive before."
"But isn't hairtail a deep-sea fish? How can you catch it?"
Leng Yi smiled and said, "Although hairtail is a deep-sea fish, it prefers warm water and will swim to the upper layers of the water at dawn and dusk, so sea anglers can often catch it."
"The weather is unusual right now, and we don't know what the seabed conditions are like. It's possible that fish might come up."
"I was wondering, should we give it a try and get some fish?"
"Sure!" Yang Qing nodded. There were actually a lot of seafood in her space, but she had no way to take them out. If she could get some fish, she could not only eat them but also exchange them for other things.
"Okay, I'll go ask around this afternoon to see where they get their fish." Leng Yi said, and then asked the two, "What kind of fish would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it."
"Sea bass, it tastes best when steamed," said Lu Lin.
"I want to eat fried hairtail. It's fried crispy and delicious." Yang Qing said at the same time.
Leng Yi smiled and said, "Then cook both and eat them while they are fresh. After you finish eating, you can change them. I will go and ask around this afternoon. Maybe we can catch more fish ourselves."
"Yeah!" Yang Qing nodded and boiled a pot of water first. The water used to wash vegetables was too cold, so he had to add some hot water to prevent his hands from freezing.
Lu Lin helped with cooking, Yang Qing washed the vegetables, and Leng Yi killed the fish.
After the fish are cleaned, Leng Yi starts by frying the hairtail fish.
Marinate the hairtail with salt and cooking wine for a few minutes, sprinkle it with a little starch and fry it in a pan so that it will not break easily.
When frying, the whole house is filled with fragrance, but there is also smoke.
"It seems that we need to ask Haozi to bring the exhaust fan over as soon as possible." Yang Qing said.
Although the smell is pleasant, it is not good to have fumes if people have to sleep here.
