Chapter 78 Sky-high Price
As they entered the city and approached the restaurant, Ying Sisi said, "Aci, don't follow me any further. Our dad is a well-known figure. If you're recognized by someone he knows eating at the restaurant, you'll get into trouble."
"Few of his friends know me, and besides, I'm wearing a hat and a mask, so I'm not conspicuous." Qin Yanci insisted on following her.
A bucket of snails weighs thirty to forty kilograms.
She held the handle.
Ying Sisi couldn't resist: "Alright."
After waiting in the backyard for a while, the kitchen worker called Lao Zhao over.
Old Zhao greeted her warmly: "Girl, I was just looking for you. I'll take your fish. I'll give you 300 kilograms at the price you mentioned. I'm also in need of snails. Give me as many as you can. The price is the same as the fish." He asked the chef to give the fish to a picky customer.
The other party's evaluation is particularly high.
The taste is dense and delicious.
Can be used as a signboard.
Not to mention snails.
The meat is plump and tender, and paired with chili peppers, it makes people drool.
Because it is off-season supply.
Everyone likes it.
Even though the price doubled, some people still rushed to order it.
Ying Sisi: "There are only so many snails, no more. But we can still have fish." She didn't want to remove all the snails at once and destroy their reproduction.
"Okay." Old Zhao asked the worker to weigh it.
Thirty-five pounds of snails.
When he was about to take the fish from Qin Yanci's hand, he stopped him: "This fish is not for sale."
Ying Sisi added, "We'll keep it for ourselves."
The young man looked at Lao Zhao, who waved his hand and said, "The transaction is voluntary. We can't force them to sell if they don't want to. Go to the accountant and report the price. It's two dollars and a half per pound. Then I'll pay you for the snails."
"Hey." The young man left.
Old Zhao asked, "Who is this?"
"My boyfriend, you can just call him Xiaoyan." Ying Sisi deliberately used the middle character to introduce Qin Yanci.
When you go out, you need to be cautious.
The word "yan" has many pronunciations.
Old Zhao can't tell the difference.
"Your girlfriend? You don't look that old. How old is she?" Old Zhao looked at Qin Yanci. "Only his eyes are visible, so I can't tell what he looks like. He's quite tall, though."
Ying Sisi: "She looks great, at the peak of her youth."
Qin Yanci's heart skipped a beat. He was already 25, and when people around him knew he was going to retake the university entrance exam at his age, they questioned him, looked down on him, and made sarcastic remarks. Some, unsure of the reason, even asked him why he hadn't taken the exam last year, and whether he had failed.
When the news reached the farm.
He was the first to sign up.
I also reviewed for a while.
But the night before the exam, he was locked in the farm's underground grain storage silo.
The door weighs several hundred pounds, and even with the key, it would take two people to open it.
It was two days later before he was found and released.
The exam is over.
Later he asked someone to get the test paper.
Those questions are not difficult. If he takes the exam, he will definitely pass if he performs normally.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
He was depressed for a long time because of this.
At this time, the young man came back with the money and the bucket. "Girl, please count it."
Ying Sisi took it and said, "Ten, twenty-eight, seventeen dollars and fifty cents. By the way, thank you." After saying goodbye to Lao Zhao, she left with Qin Yanci.
After walking for a while, she happily jogged in place: "It's great in the city. Snails can be sold for two yuan and a half per catty. In our village, no one wants them for a penny." It's great in the city. People are stupid and have a lot of money.
Qin Yanci was also very excited that a bucket of snails could be sold at a sky-high price.
He pondered, "Scarcity makes things valuable. You deserve this. Three hundred kilograms of fish, at least forty or fifty of them, transporting them one by one would surely arouse suspicion. How about we go fishing tonight and deliver them to the restaurant before dawn tomorrow?"
"Okay, that's exactly what I want. Let's send the fish back to the family compound first. Then I'll treat you to a movie." Ying Sisi had money and was willing to take the initiative to cover the common expenses of the two of them.
Qin Yanci: "I've got the tickets. The show starts in about half an hour, so we have to hurry."
"Um!."
