"Yes, Jinghong Restaurant ordered 200 jin (100 catties), which will be delivered tomorrow. I don't have enough at home, so I came to get some to make up the difference."
"Oh, then we won't be going out to sea tomorrow."
"We'll see how it goes. Let's send the dried fish over first."
"These dried fish..."
“Let’s keep the big ones for ourselves, and we can mix the smaller ones together and sell them later. Let’s skip this one. We’ll take the missing 40 jin to Uncle Jun’s house; he should have some.”
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Brother Ye, I'm really sorry the dried fish turned out like this."
"It's alright, the weather's just bad, how can I blame you?"
Feng Ye patted A-Can on the shoulder and laughed, "Besides, smaller dried fish still have a market, it's just not working out this time. Hurry up and get dressed, come with me to Uncle Jun's house and see what he has. Oh, and remember to bring some money."
"good."
The two left the house one after the other and headed towards Xiao Zhaojun's residence.
If two people go together, there's no need to be shy.
However, when they arrived at Xiao Zhaojun's house, Ye Qingling and Du Guilan had not yet gone back; they were chatting with Sister Wen.
"Why did you all come here?" Ye Qingling asked.
"The dried fish at A-Can's house isn't good; the big ones don't look nice, they only have small ones, so I thought I'd come here to take a look."
"That's perfect. I was just worried about what to do with all the dried fish at home. I've dried too much and we're eating it in different ways every day. I'm home alone with my child, so I can't sell it."
Upon hearing this, Sister Wen was overjoyed.
"Have you sorted them properly? It would be best if you separated each type of dried fish into different kinds. I'll pay you 60 cents per pound."
"Six cents is fine, it's better than leaving it at home. I'm sick of eating it. Every little bit helps, I'm just a nobody anyway."
"There's no place to store it at home. It almost got soaked by the leak during the typhoon a couple of days ago. Luckily, I found out in time. Selling it to you now is perfect and will save you the trouble."
"I was just telling Sister Lan and A Ling that we shouldn't just take the shrimp, we should take the dried fish too, but they said they couldn't make that decision. You guys arrived right after I said that."
"Come on, come on, I'll lead you inside to carry it out..."
As she muttered to herself, Sister Wen got up and led Feng Ye and A-Can into the house.
Ah-Can tugged at Feng Ye's clothes and whispered, "Isn't it only 40 jin? Why does it seem like you want to take it all?"
"Whether you're herding one sheep or a flock, it's all the same. We'll collect them all and store them in the market shops so that we won't run out of stock next time we need them."
Ah-Can nodded slightly after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.
Feng Ye carried all the bags of dried fish into the main room, opened them to check them, and then checked their dryness. Finding nothing wrong, he weighed them one by one.
She came suddenly today without prior notice, so there's no need to worry about her mixing up the fake stuff, and therefore no need to take it out for inspection.
Actually, she wasn't the kind of person who would cheat or do anything wrong.
Therefore, Feng Ye was relatively reassured.
The dried fish wasn't much, only 265 jin (182.5 catties), and cost 159 yuan in total.
There were quite a lot of shrimp, only a little less than dried fish, totaling 238 jin (164 catties) for 476 yuan.
Luckily, Ah-chan brought money with him, otherwise we wouldn't have had enough to pay.
