After walking for a while, Su He figured out the situation nearby.

"There is a soy sauce factory and a liquor factory nearby. There are many workers inside, so it should be a good market."

Soy sauce is actually very simple to make, but the process is a little more complicated and takes a little longer.

On the other hand, if the sealing of this brewing factory is not up to standard, it is easy to get sick.

In his previous life, Su He also went to a winery to help repair machinery and seal wine-filling equipment.

The doorway inside is somewhat clear.

While walking, Su He found several aunts carrying baskets, probably going to buy vegetables.

These days, there are not so many plastic bags. When people go shopping for groceries, they always bring baskets.

This is a good phenomenon, but it is a pity that it is defeated by convenience.

Su He knew that if he wanted to sell something, he couldn't be too reserved or wait for others to ask.

He led the cow over and said in a low voice to a kind-looking aunt: "Aunt, do you want fish? There are also wild lotus roots, no votes!"

Several aunts were startled when they heard Su He's words.

But when I looked back and saw that Su He was just a young man, accompanied by a cow and a dog, and a child on the cow's back, the aunt was no longer afraid.

"What kind of fish is there? Let me see!"

Su He asked his aunt to come over and take a look: "Look, there are two silver carp here, both weighing three kilograms. Just a lot more!"

He had a headache and forgot to bring a scale.

Looking back, I have to buy a scale!

But these days, he doesn't have a ticket, and even if he has money, he probably can't buy a scale.

That's how it is in this era!

Auntie looked at it and saw that the silver carp was still alive and kicking. She just liked it.

"Hey, there are river snails here!"

Another aunt squeezed over to take a look and said, "How do you sell these river snails and these wild lotus roots?"

Su He said: "Auntie, this is my first time in the city. I don't know the price. I even forgot to bring the scale. How about this, you guys can tell me the price, and as long as it's not too low, I'll give it to you. You guys Don’t worry, I have cleaned these river snails yesterday and all the sand has been spit out!”

A few aunts picked up a few, looked at them, and nodded: "It's indeed clean. But you can't tell if there's no sand."

After thinking about it, an aunt said: "Well, my home is nearby, you come with me. I found a few people to buy these things for you. The aunt will not bully you. This silver carp only costs 40 cents a pound. Two and a half cents for the river snail and one cent for the wild lotus root, can you take a look?"

Su He didn't know the price level of this era, so he couldn't say much.

Think of it as a first time visit to gain experience.

Su He immediately said: "Okay. I don't know the price, but these aunts seem to be good people and they will definitely not bully me!"

Little Pumpkin also raised his hand and said, "Aunts will definitely not bully me!"

The little pumpkin is so cute. Although she doesn't wear it well, her cuteness really impressed a few aunts.

An aunt came over and pinched Little Pumpkin's face, but Little Pumpkin didn't cry.

This made several aunts love it even more, and they all crowded over to pinch the little pumpkin's face.

The houses of several aunts did not live far away, and we arrived at the place quickly.

The aunt took out a small scale. Su He weighed the bamboo basket first, and then the aunt added what she wanted into it.

Su He said: "The bamboo basket originally weighed one catty and seven taels. If you add the river snails, the total weight is thirteen catties and eight taels. Let's count it as twelve catties. The river snails weigh 250 cents per catty, which is three yuan. Do you want to order something else? What?"

The aunt saw it, and the scales were all high, saying it was thirteen catties and eight taels, but it looked like it was weighing fourteen catties.

Naturally, the aunt is not dissatisfied when others give in.

"Okay, then give me some wild lotus roots!"

Su He quickly weighed it: "The wild lotus root weighs six pounds in total. Please give me a total of three and a half yuan!"

I gave up the scale before, and now I will lose another dime. What is this aunt dissatisfied about?

Immediately, the smile spread widely.

One of the other two aunts bought the fish back, weighing six catties and seven taels. Su He counted the fish at six catties and five taels and gave him twenty taels.

It made that aunt smile so much.

The aunt called several more aunts over and bought all the river snails and wild lotus roots.

The river snails weighed 47 kilograms in total. Su He gave away some more scales and finally charged 11 yuan.

The two silver carps were sold for 2.6 yuan. Su He gave them another 10 cents for free and only received 2.5 yuan.

There were thirty-five kilograms of wild lotus roots, and I paid three yuan.

So after calculation, Su He earned a total of sixteen and a half yuan!

With this little money, I won’t be able to buy even a KFC chicken wrap in future generations.

But now, it seems that these sixteen and a half yuan can buy a lot of things.

Su He stopped the aunt who was about to leave and said: "Auntie, look, I will definitely come back next time. Can I borrow a scale from you then? Or, I think you have more than one scale at home, so I will sell this small scale. Give me?"

Auntie didn't expect that after buying river snails and wild lotus roots, she actually made a business.

Several scales in her home were all brought back from work. They were just left there anyway, so they might as well be sold.

"I have only used this scale a few times before, and it is still new. Well, the supply and marketing cooperative sells it for three yuan, but it requires a ticket. I think you don't have a ticket. Otherwise, why don't you give me three and a half yuan?" "

Su He didn't care about the few cents, so he readily took out three and a half yuan and handed it to the aunt, then took a small scale.

The aunt laughed, and it was for nothing.

The aunt got the benefit and said: "Next time you come again, the aunt will introduce the customers to you. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. If someone hears it, it will not be good. If you come to the aunt's place, the sales will be fast. Danger."

In fact, it is true that the sales here are fast, but the income is also small.

Several aunts are very fussy people, and it is not easy for everyone to support a family.

Su He naturally nodded. Although he was not sure what to do, it did not prevent him from agreeing first.

Taking the cow and the dog, Su He was ready to leave.

However, not long after he left the community, Su He saw several people about the same size as himself walking past.

While walking, a person said proudly: "Today's meal is at a state-owned restaurant, I'll invite you!"

Su He smiled, wondering which second generation this was, so generous.

Then I heard a young man ask: "By the way, Lao He, why did you suddenly get admitted to No. 4 Middle School? I remember your grades were not very good?"

The man who was called Lao He pursed his lips and finally said: "What's the point? I'm telling you, there is someone with the same name as me at the school in this town, and my dad made some connections..."

Before they finished hearing these words, several people walked away.

But Su He almost understood what this person meant. It was nothing more than impersonation, or substituting others' achievements for his own.

Thinking of this, Su He was stunned.

He thought that his predecessor's grades had always been very good. Although he was not the best, he was still among the top ten in the school!

I suddenly failed the exam, but my predecessor felt that I did pretty well!

"What's going on? Could it be that I also encountered someone who was cheating on someone else?"
