He secretly cursed himself for being a pig-brained person.
After thinking for about ten minutes, she finally remembered the labor-saving knot that Mu Chenze taught her in her previous life.
Take out the shovel from the backpack, mainly use the wooden handle on the shovel, and tie the knot on it according to the method in memory.
I tried it, and it really saves me some effort.
Half an hour later, she was exhausted and finally returned the blue whale to the sea.
The blue whale did not leave in a hurry, but waited obediently for Chu Xuan to untie the rope from its body.
Chu Xuan praised while untying the rope, "Very understanding of human nature. So smart!"
When the rope was completely untied, Chu Xuan patted the fish's body and said, "Go back to the sea! Don't go near the shore again."
The blue whale seemed to understand and swam away into the distance.
Just when Chu Xuan was about to lose sight of it, it suddenly swam towards her location again.
After going back and forth several times, the blue whale really swam away.
At this moment, the sea water had already soaked Chu Xuan's clothes, but she did not regret saving it at all.
Seeing the tide rising, Chu Xuan rushed back.
Carrying a backpack and walking on the mountain road, I was blown by the mountain wind and kept saying, "Sneeze, sneeze..."
Even though it was summer, the mountain breeze was still cool, but for Chu Xuan, who was soaked all over, it was not cool, but cold.
She wore too little, her clothes stuck to her body, and her front was a bit unsightly.
Chu Xuan put the backpack in front of her to cover it.
When we arrived at the pier, we went straight to Li Tong's stall.
Even when selling fishing goods, the basket on his back is always hung in front of him.
Li Tong saw Chu Xuan's embarrassed look and couldn't help but persuade him, "Are you willing to risk your life just to chase the sea?"
I thought she went into the sea to collect fish.
Chu Xuan didn't explain too much, but instead urged, "Hurry up and weigh yourself! I have a lot of things to do today. Time is tight."
Li Tong said nothing more and quickly weighed and calculated the money.
Ten razor clams sold for 10 yuan.
Mullet costs 2 yuan per catty today, 9 taels for 11 catties, or 24 yuan for 12 catties.
12 pounds of sea bass, 1.51 pounds, 18 yuan.
Three sea cucumbers and abalone cost 50 yuan each.
Add it up, a total of 102 yuan.
The purchase price of fishery products fluctuates every day. Chu Xuan took it for granted, took the 102 yuan and walked home.
Being exposed to the sun, my clothes were almost dry when I entered the house.
But Chu Xuan didn't take it lightly, because she was shivering a little cold in the hot weather.
There happened to be hot water in the stove, so I took him back to the bedroom to take a shower.
After washing and changing into clean clothes, I walked to the kitchen. Just as I was about to make ginger soup, I found that my younger brother had already cooked it thoughtfully.
Blow and drink.
After drinking it, I broke out in a sweat and felt better.
It will be close to twelve noon.
I rushed to the county town at noon to sell grilled fish fillets, but my expectation was ruined.
I simply made lunch at home. My brother bought vegetables and pork in advance, washed them and cut them.
Chu Xuan can just stir-fry.
Made meals for 3 people.
Only Miao Dacui was looking at the oven. The others went home to eat and take a lunch break. They would come over at around four o'clock in the afternoon when Ji Ping would deliver the skinned fish.
Miao Dacui works overtime at noon and can go back early to rest in the evening. At that time, Gao Meijuan comes over to look at the oven.
They usually take turns.
After lunch, Chu Xuan felt sleepy and had to go back to the bedroom to take a lunch break.
Fall down and go to sleep.
Woke up around two o'clock.
Chu Xuan seriously suspected that the Chinese medicine this time contained ingredients that could help her sleep. She was able to sleep better than before and was more prone to drowsiness.
I washed my face to wake up, said hello to my younger brother and Miao Dacui, put thirty kilograms of grilled fish fillets on my back, put the scale, clean paper and net bag into the sack, and carried it out.
First take a carriage to the town, then transfer to the county seat.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the county market had already dispersed. Chu Xuan wanted to sell thirty kilograms of grilled fish fillets as soon as possible, so he could only walk around the streets and shout.
Even so, Chu Xuan still wanted to give it a try. Everything is difficult at the beginning.
First, go to the flour mill staff building and shout, "We're here to buy grilled fish fillets! I want to eat grilled fish fillets after I eat them! They're all here to buy..."
She really made many family members of employees come out.
She placed the basket and sack on a big rock under the big locust tree.
"Everyone comes and tries the freshly baked grilled fish fillets! There are three flavors, spicy, spicy, salty and sweet, I guarantee you'll want to eat them again."
While talking, he used clean paper to take out some small pieces of fish fillets for everyone to taste.
After tasting it, everyone said it was delicious.
But I was shocked by the price of two yuan and thirty cents per pound.
Several of the women commented, "I have bought grilled fish fillets for one yuan a pound before, but they are not as delicious as this one. It is just too expensive! It is twice as expensive!"
"I think it's expensive too. Just buy one or two to satisfy your craving."
"Let's negotiate the price and make it cheaper for her."
…
Chu Xuan enthusiastically took the initiative to chat, "Everyone, listen to me first. My grilled fish fillets use all the fresh fish of the day. The grilled fish fillets sold for one yuan a pound are definitely not fresh fish. They weigh more than ten kilograms." Only a pound of live fish can be used to produce grilled fish fillets! How much does a pound of fish cost? This is done by removing the head, internal organs and skin, which all require labor costs. There are also seasoning fees, firewood, and transportation fees. I have to pay for them no matter what. Make some money! Right?"
In fact, with Chu Xuan's grilling method, ten pounds of fresh fish can produce one and a half pounds of grilled fish fillets.
I say this to highlight the high cost.
One of the women covered her mouth and laughed, "What you said makes sense, but you have to make it cheaper for us no matter what, right?"
Chu Xuan said two yuan and three pounds just to give them room to bargain.
"Okay, I'll earn less. It's the first time I'm back in the county today. It's a business that's opened. I buy two yuan and two for zero. If you buy more than five kilograms, it's two yuan and fifteen cents a kilogram."
The woman continued to negotiate the price, "No more small purchases or more than five kilograms. Let's have a unified price, two yuan and ten cents a kilogram! Let's all buy some."
Chu Xuan insisted, "Two yuan and fifteen cents, no more, please let me earn a little bit."
Just then, a fashionably dressed woman in her forties came over carrying a black handbag, "Can you taste it?"
Chu Xuan smiled and responded politely, "I can taste it. I can taste all three flavors."
He took three flavors of grilled fish fillets on clean paper and handed them to the fashionable woman.
The fashionable woman took it and tasted it next to each other.
"This is the taste. My Lao Li went on a business trip to another city and brought back three small packages of grilled fish fillets, which come in three flavors. My children haven't had enough and are clamoring for them! These grilled fish fillets of yours are really two yuan and fifteen cents. Share a pound?"
Chu Xuan smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Have some of the three flavors. Give me a total of five kilograms. No! Ten kilograms! I'll give some to my mother-in-law." The fashionable woman took out 21 yuan and 50 cents from her handbag, put it in Chu Xuan's hand, and urged, "Hold on to the scale! My child is waiting to eat."
"Okay!"
Chu Xuan put the money in his pocket, stuffed three pockets of grilled fish fillets, weighed out ten kilograms of grilled fish fillets, and gave him one or two as a gift.
The fashionable woman happily held her net bag and was about to go back.
Chu Xuan was a little curious, "Sister, please stay! Can you tell me how much the grilled fish fillets your family bought from other places cost per pound?"
I have a hunch that it is most likely the grilled fish fillets that Boss Yuan packaged after wholesale and sold in stores outside the city.
It will be updated at zero o'clock in the future.
