I never expected to have such a fruitful trip to Anhuai County!
Jiang Wanwan's smile was so wide that even an AK couldn't suppress it; it had turned into a Nike-style upturned smile.
"Madam? Madam? Would you like to buy some fish maw?" The woman selling fish maw noticed that Jiang Wanwan was keeping her head down and not saying a word, and was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell any fish maw.
"Oh? Ah! How much is this fish maw?" Jiang Wanwan asked quickly after being woken up by the woman.
Upon hearing this, the woman became somewhat excited, as it meant she could finally sell some fish maw.
We're almost out of food at home. If we can sell some today and get a little money, my family won't have to go hungry anymore. We'll use the money to buy some food and take it home.
The woman grinned, looking at Jiang Wanwan with hopeful eyes, and said excitedly, "Ten coins, oh no, five coins, only five coins a pound!"
When the woman spoke, she spread her five fingers and gestured.
Even in peaceful times, no one wanted to buy fish maw; everyone thought it was too fishy and unpalatable. How much less so during times of famine! The woman dared not ask for too much, lest she lose another customer.
Five coins a pound!
Jiang Wanwan was shocked.
This is way too cheap, it's practically a steal!
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan remained silent, the woman selling fish maw grew even more anxious. She stammered, "Madam, five copper coins a pound for fish maw is not expensive at all, really, please buy some and try it..."
"I'll take this whole truckload of fish maw," Jiang Wanwan said with great generosity, waving her sleeve.
"Madam, you just want to buy some to take back... What? What did you just say? Buy, buy a whole cartload?" The woman selling fish maw spoke in a slightly unsteady voice. She looked at Jiang Wanwan in disbelief, her eyes wide open, thinking she had misheard.
"Big sister, you heard me right, I bought all of these fish maws. Could you please help me wrap them all up?" Jiang Wanwan repeated with a smile, emphasizing each word.
Upon hearing this, the woman selling fish maw's eyes lit up. She was so excited that she became incoherent, her eyes slightly red. "Thank you so much, madam. I, I'll wrap it up for you right away."
The woman was so excited she didn't know what to do. Her hands trembled as she took a large cloth bag and began to fill it with fish maw.
Jiang Wanwan smiled broadly, realizing that she was the one who should be thanking her.
She'll definitely make a fortune from this whole truckload. Buying an AK in the mall will be a piece of cake then.
"Madam, if you eat fish maw every day, your skin will improve significantly. Besides using it to make soup, you can also use it for..."
While packing the fish maw, the woman taught Jiang Wanwan how to eat it.
Jiang Wanwan listened attentively and then lent a hand to help the woman put the fish maw into a bag.
The woman took a scale and began to weigh the fish maw. "Madam, this fish maw weighs forty-eight catties in total, which is worth two hundred and forty coins."
Jiang Wanwan took out some copper coins from her crossbody bag, counted out two hundred and forty coins, and handed them to the woman. "Sister, here are two hundred and forty coins, please take them."
"By the way, do you still have any fish maw at home, sister?" Jiang Wanwan asked expectantly.
Every little bit helps, and you can never have too much balance in the mall!
Earning more money means I can buy more firearms for myself. If I still haven't heard from Deputy General Liu in the next couple of days, I'll have to go to the mountain stronghold to find him.
