Ah-Can hesitated for a moment and said, "Giving dried fish as a gift is a bit embarrassing."
"It's the thought that counts, it's the gift." Feng Ye smiled. "How about this, see if we can catch anything good today, and send him some?"
Ah-Can nodded: "That's more like it."
The two chatted as they walked out of the market.
After searching around outside the market, I actually found the tractor we had arranged and changed the time to 6 a.m. the next morning.
Then, they pulled the cart toward the dock.
I also stopped at a store along the way and bought a mechanical scale.
The scale at home is a lever scale, which can only weigh up to 100 kilograms, so it's not very convenient to use.

But a weighing scale is different; it can weigh heavier items and is easy to use—you just need to put the item on it.
It's a pity there are no electronic scales now, otherwise it would be even more convenient, saving the need for weights.

When we arrived in the county town, it was already bright daylight, and the sun had peeked over the horizon, beaming its smile.
The tractor that was arranged yesterday arrived at the dock shortly after they parked the boat.
Without saying much, they loaded the dried fish onto the tractor and drove off to the market to sell them.
Today, the more than 1,000 jin of dried fish didn't sell so well; by 7 o'clock, only about 200 jin remained.

However, they also received some unexpected good news.
That is, the vendors selling dried fish in the county's vegetable market also want to buy their products.
Therefore, they had to change their arrival time at the market, arriving half an hour earlier.
