Chapter 146 Shocked Aunt Sun



"I am not seeing things..."

"The things in the car are all...hair fish?"

Aunt Sun rubbed her eyes vigorously.

Look over there again.

In the sunlight, the scales on the hairtail fish sparkle.

That’s right, it’s hairtail!

Aunt Sun had only eaten hairtail once in her life, when she went to her relative's house in the county.

The smell is so delicious.

She dreams about it.

Sometimes she would describe with relish to people around her how delicious hairtail fish is.

It makes others very jealous.

It’s a pity...I may never be able to eat such delicious food again in this lifetime.

But now, the carriage was actually loaded with a whole load.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

"Hey, big brother, please wait a moment!"

Aunt Sun couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she ran over and called out to the man.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The man following the carriage heard the sound and stopped.

"Uh... I want to ask, where did this hairtail come from and where should it be sent?"

Aunt Sun pointed at the carriage.

Just by seeing the raw hairtail, she could imagine what it would look like after being cooked, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"This is what Village Chief Chen bought from the provincial capital. He just got off the train this year."

"Village Chief Chen said that every household can get 100 kilograms."

There was a strong sense of pride in the man's words.

"What?"

"Can every family get a few kilograms?"

Aunt Sun's eyes almost popped out of her head.

"A pound of hairtail costs 60 cents, so a pound of hairtail would cost three yuan, right?"

Aunt Sun once asked her relatives.

The price of hairtail is almost the same as pork, and it is more difficult to buy.

If you want to eat hairtail, you need to rely on luck, as you can’t buy it at other times.

"60 cents? Haha, you said that was ordinary hairtail."

"Look carefully, the car is full of four-finger-wide, headless, top-quality hairtail fish."

"One pound costs one dollar!"

Men are more proud.

Looking at Aunt Sun, she looked like she had never seen the world.

"What? One dollar per pound! Holy shit, that can buy ten pounds of cornmeal!"

Aunt Sun was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Matchmaker Zhang, who was standing by, was so shocked that she was speechless.

"You are from other villages, right?"

The man felt very proud when he saw the shocked expressions of the two women.

Just asked casually.

"Yes, we are from Dawa Village."

Aunt Sun responded.

"Oh, Dawa Village is not bad either. I heard that the prices were quite high in previous years."

"But... this year's performance is not as good as our village..."

When mentioning Yuhong, the man became proud again.

"What? Can the red in your village be higher than that in our village?"

Aunt Sun didn't believe it.

As for hairtail, there is none in Dawa Village.

But when it comes to Yuhong, she refuses to accept it.

Sun Dapao, the village chief of Dawa Village, is a well-known capable person. Every year the village's red envelopes are counted in public.

Xiaoheyan Village is a notoriously poor village.

Do you dare to brag about the red?

"Haha, what you said is all old news."

'This year is very different!'

The man snorted.

"What's the difference?"

Aunt Sun was still not convinced.

"In previous years, Zhou Huanghai was the head of the village. He was greedy and only cared about putting money in his own pocket. Of course, the village was poor."

"But this year, Village Chief Chen has taken over, and he is this!"

The man said, giving a thumbs up.

"Village Chief Chen..."

"I heard that your village elected a kid as the village chief?"

Aunt Sun seemed to have some impression.

Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient and many rural people have never left the village in their entire lives.

I have only heard about things that happened in other places.

"What do you mean by kid village chief? I'm already eighteen years old."

"Don't be fooled by your young age, you are very capable!"

"Do you know how much the per capita income in our village is this year?"

The man spoke mysteriously, lowering his voice.

"How many?"

Aunt Sun's tone became lower as she was teased by him.

"Stand still, or you'll be scared if I tell you."

"Hey, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"

Matchmaker Zhang became anxious.

"Haha, let me tell you two, it's only a few dollars per person!"

The man held up a finger.

"What!"

Aunt Sun screamed as if her tail was stepped on, and she jumped up.

The rice harvest in Dawa Village this year is higher than in previous years, reaching 1.80 yuan, and everyone is very happy.

However, the per capita income of people in Xiaoheyan Village is more than twice that of my own village!

How is this possible?

Matchmaker Zhang frowned tightly.

"Brother, please don't brag."

She usually travels far and wide, and has visited every village in Hongqi Town.

The average bet is around RMB 10 or so.

I have never heard of a village where rice wine costs more than two yuan.

But this person has reached an average of 100.

That month was over forty.

Isn't it higher than the salary of employees in the factory?

In this era, farmers had a low status and could not hold their heads up in front of others.

The girls in the village all want to marry city guys.

Why?

It's just because someone has a high salary.

But what do you say now?

A farmer earns more than others?

Who can believe this!

"Or you women, you have long hair but short knowledge."

'Just because other villages can't achieve it doesn't mean our village can't achieve it.'

'And that's just an average.'

"Do you know how much the highest-paid person got?"

The man's tone became arrogant again.

"How many?"

Aunt Sun was particularly sensitive about money and asked immediately.

"Ninety bucks!"

The man made a nine-digit gesture.

"Oh my god!"

If we say that the per capita income is 10,000, Aunt Sun would be shocked.

This highest red nine yuan piece has made her mind go blank.

Ninety yuan...

A year of good fortune is enough to marry a wife!

Nowadays, it only costs a thousand yuan for an average family to marry a wife.

The conditions are good, and it costs about one thousand yuan.

Her niece was planning to marry a wealthy man, and the price must be one thousand taels.

If what the man said was true, it would only take two years for him to marry his niece for money.

"How's it going? Are you scared?"

"Carpenter Liu can earn so much because he has skills. Our village chief Chen believes that the more you work, the more you earn..."

The man felt happy when he saw the two of them making a fuss.

"Wait a moment!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Carpenter Liu?"

Aunt Sun suddenly screamed.

The man was startled.

"Oh, yes, it's Carpenter Liu."

"Sister Zhang, the family we are looking for is surnamed Liu, and is he a carpenter?"

Aunt Sun immediately grabbed Matchmaker Zhang's hand.

"Yes, it's Carpenter Liu!"

"How many Liu carpenters are there in your village?"

Matchmaker Zhang looked at the man again.

"There are a few carpenters, but there is only one named Liu, there can be no doubt about it."

The man shook his head.

"Brother, take us to Carpenter Liu's house quickly, there is good news!"

When Matchmaker Zhang heard this, she suddenly smiled so happily that she couldn't stop smiling.

If Carpenter Liu really earned nine hundred yuan this year.

What else does the woman have to say? She will definitely be happy to agree.

You can also earn this introduction fee.

"Oh, so you are here to see Carpenter Liu."

"Well, follow me..."

The man took the time to talk to the two of them, and the carriage had already gone far away.

Since I can't catch up with them anyway, I might as well be a good person and send them to find someone.

Soon, Aunt Sun and Matchmaker Zhang arrived at Carpenter Liu's door.

We just happened to see the carriage unloading its cargo.
