"Boss Su, we also have a pheasant and a rabbit that we hunted on the mountain. Do you buy them here?"
Yu Chengyuan asked again, "I almost forgot about these two things."
Su Minghua's eyes lit up. "Xiao Yu, you also have pheasants and wild rabbits?"
"Let me see it quickly."
Yu Pingan immediately took the basket over; it contained pheasants and wild rabbits.
"Hmm, not bad, it's a wild rabbit, an adult wild rabbit."
The pheasant's feathers were glossy, making it look very healthy.
I'll take both of them.
"Wild rabbits and pheasants will both cost you two yuan per pound."
Boss Su was very satisfied. He had been worried that some leaders and bosses who wanted to eat wild game couldn't get some, and now that was just the right time.
He waved to signal someone to weigh themselves.
Five catties and two ounces of wild rabbit, three catties and three ounces of pheasant, totaling eight catties, costing sixteen yuan.
Su Minghua immediately had someone bring the money.
Yu Chengyuan accepted the money with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Su."
He didn't expect that Boss Su would set the price of pheasants and rabbits at two yuan per kilogram.
"You're welcome. You deserve it. If you have any more in the future, please send them to me."
"I'm so happy," said Mr. Su.
Yu Pingan watched in disbelief as his younger brother took the more than one thousand yuan from Boss Yu's hand, his eyes wide open, not even blinking.
Mr. Su just gave away over a thousand yuan like that.
He really is a rich person!
He had only ever seen so much money when he was working in a coal mine and the boss was paying his fellow workers.
At other times, I never even dared to dream of seeing so much money.
He was utterly astonished to learn that a simple stir-fry recipe could sell for three thousand yuan. No, wait, he didn't have glasses.
It's no exaggeration to say that it left him speechless with astonishment.
He would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
His younger brother is far too audacious, isn't he?
If business is bad and the crayfish can't be sold, it would be a huge joke.
By then, not only would we have to return the money, but we would also have offended Boss Su.
Thinking of this, Yu Ping'an's heart was filled with worry.
Yu Chengyuan had already reached the door when he turned around and saw his brother still standing there, looking dumbfounded.
He figured his brother was probably scared off by the price he had just asked for.
With a smile on his face, he shouted loudly, "Brother, what are you standing there for? Let's hurry home!"
"Oh, I'm here." Yu Pingan finally came to his senses and hurriedly ran out.
"Chengyuan, let me pull the cart."
Yu Pingan very proactively put the rope around himself.
Thinking to myself, my younger brother works so hard to earn money, and it's all thanks to his efforts that I've contributed so little.
"Brother, is there something you're worried about?"
We've both made money, why aren't you happy?
Seeing his elder brother's furrowed brows, Yu Chengyuan asked with a smile.
"Cheng Yuan, you asked for way too much for that secret recipe you just mentioned."
Won't doing this offend Boss Su?
"What if these spicy crayfish don't sell, or don't sell well? Won't Boss Su take his anger out on you?"
Yu Pingan hesitated for a while before finally expressing his concerns.
"Brother, so that's what you're worried about?"
Don't worry about it, I have my own plans.
This price may sound a bit high, but it's actually not high at all.
Mr. Su will thank me in the future; he was the first person to try something new.
And we were the first to catch the crabs.
Yu Chengyuan continued to speak with a smile, then pushed the cart behind him.
Yu Pingan still didn't understand. They were clearly talking about crayfish, so how did they get onto crabs? What could the two have to do with each other?
Yu Pingan scratched the back of his head, thinking that he should just give up and not ask anymore. What his younger brother was saying was too profound and unfathomable, and he couldn't understand it at all.
When the two brothers got home, the clock had already struck nine.
Their house was in a rather unusual location, some distance from the village, and facing outwards, so the villagers didn't see them return along the way.
As soon as you enter the house, you can see freshly turned soil everywhere in the yard, and the air is filled with the smell of soil.
It's obvious that my parents and my two maternal uncles did this together.
Yu Chengyuan figured that his eldest uncle, second uncle, and parents were not in the yard, so he guessed they had gone to the back mountain to clear land.
After arriving home, the Yu brothers were extremely thirsty and immediately gulped down two large glasses of cold boiled water, which made them feel a little better.
"Brother, let's calculate today's income now."
First, tell me the money we spent on purchasing these vegetables. You give the report, and I'll do the math.
By the way, let's not include wild game for now.
Since we didn't have a computer at home, we had to rely on an abacus to do the calculations.
“Okay, I’ll report it, you calculate it.” Yu Pingan nodded heavily.
Yu Pingan began counting:
Li the carpenter's house: 10.2 yuan.
The village chief's house: 21.4 yuan.
Zhu Fugui's family: Sixteen yuan and fifty cents.
Wang Erniu's family: Sixteen yuan and two mao.
My maternal uncle's family: Twenty-one yuan. Originally, it was five mao short, but Yu Chengyuan gave the whole number.
My second uncle's family: Nineteen yuan.
Chengyuan, I've finished counting.
Yu Pingan held his notebook and read aloud earnestly.
"I've done the calculations. I spent 104.3 yuan just on the cost of buying vegetables."
Add to that the cost of 8.5 yuan for the pheasants and rabbits, and it comes to 112.8 yuan.
Brother, could you please tell me again how much we collected for the vegetables today?
Excluding everything else.
"We charged 97 yuan at the hospital cafeteria and 61 yuan at the school cafeteria."
Yu Pingan quickly reported the specific figures.
"The two canteens collected a total of 158 yuan, and then spent 104.3 yuan. So, we made 54.3 yuan selling vegetables today."
Today is just the beginning, and they've already earned over fifty yuan from vegetables.
"Chengyuan, are you sure you didn't miscalculate? We earned this much in just one day?"
Yu Ping'an was overjoyed and couldn't believe he had earned so much in just one day.
This is more than half a month's wages he earned digging coal in the coal mine.
"Brother, how could I possibly have miscalculated?"
Such a lack of manners is not very common.
There's also the money we make from selling eels, bighead carp, flatfish, crayfish, and soft-shelled turtles.
The eels and flatfish sold for seven yuan in total, plus two hundred and eighty-seven yuan for the bighead carp and soft-shelled turtle, and seven yuan for the crayfish, making a total of three hundred and one yuan.
Yu Chengyuan thought to himself that the turtle was really valuable.
"Chengyuan, I never expected this fish to sell for so much money."
Our family suddenly has so much more money.
If things continue like this…
Yu Pingan simply couldn't bear to think about it anymore.
