Chapter 69, Aquatic Products Market
The next day, the four of them gathered at Mei Xue's house. An Liang and An Cheng booked a carriage early in the morning. It was getting late, so they had to go to town quickly, otherwise the loach might not survive until noon.
"Slow down, sister-in-law, give it to me, I'll carry it." An Wen stepped onto the carriage first and took the bucket from it.
When An Cheng saw them carrying so many loaches and eels, he was surprised and asked, "Oh my God, Brother An Wen, how did you catch so many?"
Recently he also went to his own fields to catch them, but there were not so many that it was good enough for his family to eat.
An Wen smiled foolishly, "Haha, good luck, good luck." As early as the first time he caught the rabbit, Third Grandma had told him not to tell anyone about his sister-in-law.
An Liang also echoed, "You don't know, this year our family's underground fertilizer is so heavy, this little is not enough." An Liang is really getting more and more in need.
An Cheng looked unconvinced, as if someone else's fields were not fertile. Their fields were also fertile, but there were not so many eels and loaches.
After helping to load the four large barrels onto the carriage, An Cheng didn't wait for anyone else and directly took Mei Xue and others to the market.
Mei Xue didn't want to go to the big market because the prices there really disappointed her.
When they were almost in town, Mei Xue hurriedly asked An Cheng, "An Cheng, do you know where the fishery is?" This thing can also be considered aquatic product, right?
An Cheng nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I know. It's on the west side of the town, a little far from the market." The market is on the east side. It is well connected and people from all villages gather here.
The west is full of big businesses, and those with small volumes will not go there.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to the fishery?" After saying that, An Cheng looked at the four large barrels and was surprised to see no dead fish.
Mei Xue looked at the other three people and asked, "What do you think?" The things did not belong to her alone. If it were her, she could make the decision on her own.
"We'll listen to our sister-in-law." An Liang is the best and most obedient.
Anwen certainly had no objection, and finally everyone looked at Anshan.
"No need to look at me, I will listen to my sister-in-law too." He can see how capable his sister-in-law is.
"Okay then, we'll go to the fish farm. If the price isn't as high as at the market, we'll come back." Mei Xue made the decision after hearing this.
An Cheng also nodded. Next, he could go directly to the seafood market from another road without having to get stuck in the traffic jam here.
Along the way, everyone was full of expectations. The most indifferent one among them was probably Mei Xue, because she really didn't have much hope for this price.
It didn't take long. Before the sun came out, An Cheng's carriage arrived at the seafood market, which was bustling with people.
The entrance of the seafood market was filled with cars, horse-drawn carriages, tractors, trucks, bicycles, etc. It was really eye-opening.
"Brother Anwen, I wish we could buy a 28-bar bicycle someday." An Liang, sitting in the carriage, said with envy as he looked at the bicycle parked next to him.
There was envy in An Wen's eyes, but unfortunately, he wouldn't buy it even if he had the money.
His family's conditions don't allow it.
Mei Xue disliked the bicycle even more. If she had money, she would buy a small one. It was so cool and could allow her grandmother to show off in the village. How great.
Soon they arrived at the gate and An Cheng stopped the carriage. "Sister-in-law, we're here, and cars are not allowed to enter." The main reason was that the horses needed to defecate, and if they went in and did it anywhere, it would affect the environment.
So the market management staff banned the vehicles from passing.
"good."
Everyone is here for the first time, so they carry their buckets down first and do nothing else until they enter the market.
Mei Xue took the lead and walked inside with a bucket of loaches and eels.
Once you enter, it's a whole new world.
People were coming and going, all in a hurry, with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had found something that suited their taste.
The further they went in, the more people there were. Mei Xue and her friends didn't understand the rules and just ran to where there were more people.
Soon someone discovered what they had in their hands. "Young girls, young men, are you here to sell goods?" A middle-aged man with a big belly called out to them.
Mei Xue stopped and the man ran over from a distance.
When he saw what was in the bucket, his eyes lit up, "Are you selling all these?" Mingzhi asked the consultant.
Mei Xue was a person of few words. She looked at the middle-aged man and thought he was too annoying. She didn't want to sell the things to him.
An Liang didn't know what his sister-in-law was thinking. When he heard someone ask, he immediately replied, "Yes, uncle, do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, how many do you have?" The uncle has been waiting here for a long time. He came late today and didn't get any fresh goods. All he bought were some leftovers by others. He was really anxious.
He runs a restaurant in the county town with good business, so his daily demand is greater than others. He is also an expert in cooking, so he pays more attention to the selection of ingredients than others.
He would go out and buy fresh goods like this himself.
"We don't have much, just these four barrels. Do you want all, boss?" An Liang is a talented person.
When Mei Xue saw An Liang talking to her, she put down the bucket and stood aside watching.
An Shan also stood next to his sister-in-law. Facing outsiders, he was a little nervous. He could not compare with An Liang, even though he was older than An Liang.
An Wen stood beside An Liang like a bodyguard, afraid that he would fall into someone else's scheme. He didn't understand words, but his mind was clear.
The middle-aged boss looked at the four large barrels. It was a lot in total, so of course he wanted all of them. With these things, he would not have to worry about meat in his store for at least two days.
Now is the season for eating eels and loaches. They are very plump and a great dish.
"Yes, of course all." The boss replied with a smile, "I want all, so you have to give me a lower price." When doing business, everyone is careful.
When Mei Xue heard this, she was unhappy and said, "No, I don't have much money anyway." If possible, she didn't want to sell it, but unfortunately it wasn't hers alone.
"Little girl, I want them all." The fat boss refused to give in.
"You don't have to take all of them." Mei Xue retorted.
"Girl, why don't you know how to adapt? I've bought them all, so you don't have to squeeze in. It's a win-win situation."
"It's not much. How much do you want to offer per pound?" Seeing that his sister-in-law was unhappy, An Liang also joined the conversation.
Mei Xue gave An Liang a look that said "you understand what you are doing", which immediately made An Liang's butt lift up.
This was the first time that the middle-aged boss encountered such an inflexible seller. In the past, as long as he said he wanted all, everyone would sell at a discount.
He could see that these kids were stupid. If he didn't give them a satisfactory price, he would miss out on this business. "One dollar, no more."
The price he gave was the most fair.
