Early the next morning, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang packed up the goods to be sold, then went to the next village to collect the fish that Old Man Lu had caught in the past few days, and then rode their bicycles to the town.
I first went to the market in town, bought two breakfasts, and found an empty space to set up my stall.
After eating a few bites of breakfast, the two began to sell goods under the urging of the customers around them.
Bear meat is 80 cents per pound, and fish is 1 yuan per pound.
Now that pork has risen to 1.1 yuan, bear meat, at 80 cents a pound, has undoubtedly become a hot commodity.
Even though it's not as delicious as pork, it's a rare commodity. Many people have never eaten it in their lives. If you come across it so rarely, you'll have to buy a pound or two to try it.
The fish also sold out quickly.
Before ten o'clock, the meat and fish on the two people's stall were sold out, making the stall owners around who were still shouting loudly envious.
The total weight of fish brought today was 140 kilograms, and Chen Wang and Old Man Lu shared 70 pieces.
The total sales of bear meat were 155.6 yuan, plus yesterday's 605, the total was 760.6 yuan.
Chen Wang only got 380, which is quite an embarrassing figure.
After leaving the market, the two went to the purchasing station again.
Xu Meijuan was not here today. After Chen Wang asked her colleagues, he learned that she was on holiday today.
There was no other way, Chen Wang could only ask her colleague to notify Master Wang.
After meeting Master Wang, Chen Wang took out the bear gall and bear skin and gave it to him.
In the end, the bear gall was sold for 800 yuan and the bear skin for 200 yuan, totaling exactly 1,000 yuan.
Chen Wang and his friend were already very satisfied with this price.
After saying goodbye to Master Wang, Chen Wang rode his bike to a less crowded place and gave 500 yuan to Chen Dazhuang.
Including the previous 70 and 380, his total income today is 950.
Chen Dazhuang also earned 880, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
After taking the money, he wanted to put it together with the previous money, but when he put his hand in his pocket and touched it, his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Wang asked with concern.
"Oh no, the money is gone."
"ah?"
"Really? It was stolen. Fuck! Who the hell cut my clothes open?"
Chen Dazhuang shouted angrily.
Chen Wang looked down and saw a big cut under his coat pocket.
"Why are you putting it in this pocket? Can't you put it in the inner pocket?"
Chen Wang frowned.
"I, I was careless."
Chen Dazhuang's face also looked ugly.
"Think quickly, when did you lose it? Was there anyone close to you just now?"
"Um……"
"Let's go, let's turn around and take a look."
After saying that, Chen Wang got on his bicycle and turned back to the purchasing station.
Chen Dazhuang put the money in his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, then rode his bike behind him and suddenly said, "Maybe when we were leaving the purchasing station just now, a guy felt weird and almost hit us."
"Do you remember what it looked like?"
Chen Wang turned his head and asked.
Chen Dazhuang shook his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention, but I knew he was very short. He seemed to be a head shorter than me."
"How much money was lost?"
"I only have a few dollars in my hand, plus the share from selling meat."
"That's more than three hundred and eighty."
"Um!"
"You make money so easily that you don't take it seriously and just put it in your pocket."
Chen Wang scolded angrily.
Chen Dazhuang did not refute, his face full of guilt.
"You have to be prepared to not be able to find it back and to pay for the lesson."
There are a lot of petty thefts these days, and there are no surveillance cameras, not to mention that we can't even remember what the thieves look like, so it's very difficult to find them.
"Let's go look for him first. If that doesn't work, call the police. Maybe we can find him."
Chen Dazhuang felt so heartbroken when he thought that he might never get the money back that he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.
Just as Chen Wang said, it might be too easy to make money during this period, which is why he didn't pay enough attention.
Now think about it, that’s nearly 400 coins!
Many rural families work hard in the fields all year round and still cannot earn that much money.
The two men returned to the entrance of the purchasing station and looked around, looking for the short man that Chen Dazhuang mentioned.
However, after the criminal succeeded, it was impossible for him to stay.
Chen Wang parked his bicycle, went into the purchasing station again, and found the clerk he had just communicated with.
"Why are you back? Is there anything else?"
the clerk asked in surprise.
"Comrade, when we went out just now, did anyone see anyone suspicious? My buddy's money was stolen."
Chen Wang went straight to the point.
"ah?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Dazhuang next to him.
Chen Dazhuang smiled a little embarrassedly and tugged at the pocket of his shirt that had been cut open.
The clerk was dumbfounded when he saw such a big cut, and then he asked several other colleagues, but the result was that no one knew.
"Comrade, how much money did you lose?"
A young male clerk asked.
"More than three hundred and eighty."
Chen Dazhuang replied.
"That's a lot of money. How could you just put it in your pocket? There are a lot of pickpockets at our recycling station. People often get their pockets slashed."
The male clerk looked at him with pity.
When some customers who were nearby buying goods heard this, they began to talk about it.
