Chapter 129
Tang Yue felt that there was meat anyway, and it was already dried, fifty cents a pound was not expensive. Although she tried to find it herself, it was too much trouble, and she had to get the meat one by one. She might as well go to sea a few more times with this time, as she could earn more money by going to sea.
"Then give me 500 kilograms. And the dried squid you have here, if it's not expensive, give me 500 kilograms too. I don't need the rest."
The salesman saw that the lady in front of him wanted so many things, which added up to several thousand kilograms. If he sold them individually, it would take one or two months to sell so many. He did not dare to ask for too high a price. "Sister, I won't sell it to you at a high price. Dried fish is not weighed, and one kilogram is as much as a large one. I will still give you 50 cents per kilogram. This is really a reasonable price. Is this okay with you, sister?"
Tang Yue didn't believe the price he said, but it was indeed a better deal, so she didn't discuss it with him much. She felt it was not expensive, so she agreed. "Okay, give me 500 kilograms. I'll deliver it to the big tree at 11 o'clock. If you don't have enough time, I can adjust the time."
The big brother who was selling the goods nodded quickly and said, "Big sister, please put it here. Although there are not many goods here, we still have goods in other places. It will be enough if we gather them together. Big sister, if the goods sell well, please come to me to buy more next time."
"Okay, we'll exchange the money and the goods then. I'll go shopping somewhere else first. Bye." After Tang Yue made an appointment with the elder brother, she walked straight forward. There were still so many stalls to visit. The goods she just bought were all prepared for her family to eat. She would bring 100 kilograms of each kind to make it clear to her parents-in-law, so that she wouldn't have to bring them when she wanted to eat them but had no excuse.
Most of the stalls on both sides sell seafood, but I also saw that the batch of defective cloth that I sold to Brother Biao was unexpectedly in great demand. It seems that I should sell more later. I won’t dare to be too presumptuous under the supervision of my parents-in-law in the future.
As Tang Yue was walking, she suddenly discovered that there was a stall selling cooked food that smelled really good. She wanted to eat it just by smelling it, so she hurried over. There were a bunch of people gathered in front of her and she couldn't see what was being sold inside. Fortunately, everyone lined up consciously. The people who came were holding big leaves in their hands and eating. The color and texture made it look delicious.
It was finally my turn, and I walked forward to take a look. Wow, there were a row of big pots, some were being cooked, some were just cooked, and there was another pot being sold. I took a look, a large spoonful was 20 cents, and there was quite a lot in the spoon.
I quickly asked the lady who was selling it, "Sister, what are you selling? It smells fragrant and spicy, and looks delicious."
The vegetable seller laughed when she heard the compliments about her cooking skills. "Big sister, I'm not bragging. My family is famous in the nearby villages for our seafood. These are small fish and shrimps that the supply and marketing cooperatives don't buy, as well as various kinds of seafood. I use my family's secret recipe to stew them in a pot. Big sister, do you want to try it? I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've tried it."
Watching the aunt pick up one with chopsticks and hand it to me, I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but use my hand to put it in my mouth to taste it. It was a little hot when I first put it in my mouth, and it tasted after a while when it was no longer hot. Not to mention that it was really delicious. Even the one made by my own mother-in-law was not as delicious as this one. It's worthy of having a secret recipe.
"Big sister, you are right, it is indeed delicious. I want to eat more. How much do you sell it for? I plan to buy some to take home."
The auntie was not surprised at what she said. As long as you have tasted the seafood cooked by her family, you will buy it, unless you are really broke. "Big sister, I charge two cents per scoop. This scoop is about half a pound. How much do you want?"
"Then how much would it be per pound if you want to weigh it by pound? Is it 0 cents? If it's not expensive, I'd like to buy more." Tang Yue said this deliberately. After all, he said that one spoonful of half a pound or two spoonfuls would cost 40 cents, which is one pound. If you weigh it by pound, it would be cheaper.
“Big sister, it depends on how much you want. I’ll sell it to you if you want to buy more than ten kilograms.” Although the old lady sold the fish at a low price per kilogram, the fish were watery and mostly worthless fish, with some squid, octopus and the like. Anyway, she would buy it as long as she didn’t suffer a loss.
Tang Yue saw that these things of hers were so delicious, so she wanted to buy more, "Big sister, I want to buy all of your dumplings, will you sell them? I also want to order another 200 kilograms from you."
"Big sister, you are not kidding, are you going to finish all the food you buy?" The lady who was doing the shopping thought she was joking. Who would buy 200 kilograms of cooked food?
"Big sister, I'm not kidding you. I'm ordering for someone else. A relative is having a banquet and I'm responsible for buying the food. I just ordered a lot of dry goods from there. I see your food is so delicious. It will be so nice to put a plate of it on the table, right? As for the extra ones, it's great to give them as return gifts to relatives. It's delicious and not expensive."
The saleswoman listened to the praise from the older sister across the street and smiled from ear to ear, "Big sister, you really have good taste. I tell you, this thing doesn't taste better than what I make at home. I promise you won't regret it. Whenever you want me to make it for you in advance, just heat it up and eat it when you're ready."
"Big sister, I'll be there in five. I'll be there in the morning around this time. I'll be waiting for you under the big tree over there. Can you please keep the food in this pot for me? I'll go home and get a bucket to put it in. Or I'll just wait for you under the big tree over there and you can bring it to me."
The big sister who was selling the goods hesitated for a moment. If she sold all to the little sister, she would have nothing to sell. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Little sister, do you have a time limit? There are so many people waiting for it. Can I cook it again for you and send it to you under the big tree later?"
Tang Yue thought about it and felt that it was no problem. "Big sister, when are you going to close the stall? Let me see if our schedules match."
"It will be sold out around 12 or 12:30. Can I cook you another pot and send it over? This pot is about 20 kilograms. Is that how much you want?"
Tang Yue thought about it and asked for two more pots. If she wanted to stock up, she should stock up in advance, otherwise she would run out of food when she wanted to eat it. "Sister, just cook all the food in this pot. Even though it's only 60 kilograms, it will be gone if our relatives share more. When they find it delicious, I will introduce more customers to you. I have a lot of relatives."
