its 436: sell fish

A thousand copper texts. If you really sell it according to one catty of thirteen copper texts, only one hundred catties of fish is enough. Cheng Xingxing came to complete the task, sent a small submarine of the naval forces, and picked up more than 300 catties of fish at once.

"So many fish?" Looking at Cheng Mingxing wrapping so many fish in a broken net and floating out of the lake, the sister and brother were very surprised. Cheng Mingxing stepped ashore step by step and pointed to the fish in the net behind him: "How about it? Is it such a big thirteen bronze texts per catty?"

"Brother, you are so awesome!" After seeing the fish, the boy shouted excitedly, "These fish are almost two feet long. Such fish will be sold for twenty-four bronze coins per catty in the market!"

"Really?" Cheng Xingxing smiled, "I also saw that one foot long, but it doesn't seem to look different from this kind of big fish. It should be two different fish, right?

The sister and brother looked at him stupidly and shook their heads. The girl said, "We... We don't know what the fish is called. We only know whether it's big or small, and how much it costs..."

"It doesn't matter. It's worth it anyway, right?" Cheng Xingxing smiled and said, "Tell me where the market is."

"Go out of our village and go east. Three miles away is Lanhe Town, and the market is in the town." The girl said. But... the official will not..."

"Don't worry about this." Cheng Mingxing said, "What's your name? After changing the fishing net, how can I find you in the village?

"My name is A Xiang, and my sister's name is A Lian." The boy rushed and said, "Our house is to the west of the village, and the most dilapidated wooden house is."

"Sir, you are really..." Allen is still worried.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Cheng Xingxing smiled, carried the big bag of fish on his back, and strode to the village not far from the lake. After bypassing the village, he walked towards Lanhe Town according to A Lian's guidance. After a long distance from the village, he took out a flying-wing motorcycle, put the fish in the back, and drove to Lanhe Town three miles away.

Soon, a town that was not too big appeared in front of us. The scale of this town was not much different from that of Longyin Town at the beginning. It seemed to be bigger and richer.

He put away the motorcycle and walked to the town with the big bag of fish on his back, which attracted the surprised eyes of countless people along the way. It's not that people have never seen Hercules, but they have never seen such a slender Hercules. Looking at the appearance of a star, it seems to be a little weak scholar, but it is really surprising that he can carry a big bag of fish weighing more than 300 catties.

"This aunt, can you tell me how to get to the market?" Not long after Cheng Xingxing entered the town, when he saw everyone staring at him, he waved to the crowd and then asked an aunt.

"Are you going to sell fish?" The aunt looked at the fish behind the star and couldn't help nodding. It seemed that she was quite like the fish.

"Yes." Cheng Mingxing smiled and said, "Do you think this fish can sell 20 bronze articles per catty?"

"This is a silver thread crucian carp." The aunt smiled and said, "Young man, you are not a fisherman, are you?"

"No." Cheng Mingxing also smiled, "A fisherman broke my stuff and compensated these fish to me. He said that he could sell 20 copper coins. These fish are two or three hundred catties, right? It's almost enough for me."

"Young man, you are lucky." The aunt smiled and said, "This silver thread crucian carp is a precious fish, which can be sold for thirty-three or four bronze texts per catty. But to be honest, you have actually been fooled again.

"How do you say that?" He became a star and was stunned.

"If you don't pay the goods tax, you can't sell things casually in the market without the permission of the official. Especially this fish." The aunt reminded him in a low voice, "Because our brother-in-law is the only fishmonger who has obtained official approval. Only his family can sell fish in the market. If others sell it privately, they will eat the board."

"Ouch." Cheng Xing pretended to be surprised, "What should I do? Shall I also pay the goodsman's tax?

"You fish, you are not enough to pay the goodsman's tax." The aunt shook her head.

"Why don't you think so?" Cheng Mingxing pretended to be anxious and said sincerely, "I'm not going to the market. I'll sell it here. Auntie, if you think this fish is good, I'll... I'll sell you some for a catty copper coins. Do you think so?"

"Oh, young man, this is still too expensive. People like us can't afford it!" The aunt hurriedly shook her head, "We can also afford those white carp of thirteen copper dollars per catty."

"That's enough to count as thirteen copper dollars per catty." Cheng Xingxing smiled and shouted loudly to those who were watching him on the street: "Dear villagers, there is a loss of money passing through your land. If others compensate my fish, I will sell it cheaply. Come on, everyone! The best silver thread crucian carp, thirteen bronze texts per catty!"

With that, he went to the street and put the broken net package on the ground and started to do business on the spot.

People immediately gathered around and looked at the fish that were still twisting their bodies. They were a little moved. The aunt lowered her head and touched a slightly smaller one. The fish immediately twisted a few times and hit her body on the ground with a thumping sound. The aunt couldn't help admiring: "It's worthy of being a precious fish. It's been fished for so long, and it's still so durable!" I'll buy this one as an improvement for my son's life.

"Aunuch, look how many jins this one has, just give it." Cheng Ming said, "I don't have a scale."

"Then I'll take advantage of you." The aunt laughed, looked at the fish, and nod: "Well, why does this one have six or seven catties?"

"That's six catties for you." Cheng Mingxing said hurriedly, and then muttered, "Thirty-sixty-eight, eighteen plus sixty, seventy-eight bronze texts. Remove the fraction, and you can count it as 70 bronze texts.

"Oh, now I'm taking advantage of it." The aunt was shocked and hurriedly shook her head: "Why are you so embarrassed?"

"It's okay. I just want to sell it out quickly." Cheng Xingxing said with a smile. Then there is another thing that is quite a pity. I don't have any bags here. You can buy them, so you can only find a way to put it back.

"That's this one." The aunt happily took out seven silver documents from her pocket and gave them to Cheng Xingxing. Then he took two threads from the broken net, poked two holes in the fish's mouth with the long hairpin on his head, and tied them with the thread, and then it could be picked up.

"Aun aunt, this is really good!" Cheng Xingxing gave a firm thumbs up.

"I'll give you this hairpin." The aunt smiled and stuffed the polished copper hairpin into Chengxing's hand. "The thing that has been used for several years is not worth a dollar. Just take it as a thank you for the discount."

"Thank you, aunt, for your patronage!" Cheng Xing sang loudly, amusing everyone around him. Some people started, and it was obvious that they could take such a big advantage, so people came to pick up the fish one after another.

"Brother, this fish is afraid to be four or five catties, right?" An old man asked with a fish.

Cheng Xing looked at it and felt that the fish was about the same size as the one bought by the aunt just now, but looking at the old clothes on the old man, he nodded: "Well, that's four catties, three forty-two, twelve plus forty, fifty-two, just give me fifty cents."

"Thank you very much." The old man blushed slightly, but looking at his expression, he was more happy than ashamed.

Cheng Xingxing took five silver texts from his hand, smiled, and helped him pass the fish to him. Seeing the old man leave thanking repeatedly, Cheng Xingxing couldn't help thinking of his parents. Every time they go to the market, they always bargain for a few cents and hawkers for a long time. Sometimes they take advantage of others one or two yuan, and they can be happy for a long time when they go home.

The life of ordinary people is actually like this. They are not great and selfless workers who sacrifice and contribute everything for the country as they are preached on TV. They are a group of people who can marry a wife and live a small life smoothly in the future in order to make their children eat enough, have books, have a house to live in. They are workers, but they work not to catch up with the powerful country and revitalize the nation. They just want to let their families live a good life.

They are sometimes very snoid, slippery, and even treacherous. It's just because they live at the bottom of society. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that their wives are dressed warm, their children are full, and the family can sit together happily.

So the star understands the old man very well and doesn't hate them at all.

"Who wants more?" He just smiled and shouted loudly.

"Me!" Me!" Me!"

People rushed up and grabbed the fish they like.

"Brother, this is almost seven or eight catties, right?"

"Where is it? I think it's only six catties. I think I've counted it, right? How much is six catties? The star turned his eyes and thought.

"The aunt's is also six catties. You asked for seventy bronze texts." A person next to me reminded me.

"Yes, that's also seventy bronze!"

"Okay, that's this one!"

"Brother, this... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at catties. I think there may be five catties?" A thin man asked.

"It's not as favored as you. This one is obviously bigger than the one the guy just bought!" A man next to him stared at him with a disdainful face.

"That...this..." The thin man blushed.

"Forget it, forget it." Cheng Xingxing said with a smile, "Brother, I'll take you seven catties. What do you think?"

You can't be generous to these cute but sometimes hateful poor friends. You still have to let them know that although you want to do good, you are not a fool. You can take advantage of it, but you have to be measured.

"Kung, Cheng!" The thin man nodded with a red face and took out nine silver documents, plus a bronze text. Cheng Xingxing didn't want the bronze text, but he blushed and stuffed it into Cheng Xingxing's hand.

You can't give it back to him anymore, otherwise it is equivalent to directly slap him in the face and roll his face. Cheng Xingxing thought about it, smiled and picked up the money and dressed the fish for him.

Now, everyone knows that this guy is not a simple person. If you take advantage of him too much, you will not please him, but you will lose face. So basically, no one has to lie about the weight, and it's all up to the star's valuation.

It's natural to lose a lot of money to sell like this, but becoming a star is not a businessman, and selling fish is only to help Alian's sister and brother buy a new network, so he doesn't care about the loss at all. In this way, the fish soon sold more than 200 catties, and the money received more than 100 silver coins, which was enough to buy a new net.

At this time, suddenly there were two men in silk clothes. They squeezed everyone over and squatted down. One of them picked up two fish weighing about ten catties. One of them smiled and asked, "Boss, I think these two fish are only three or four catties, right? How much is it?"

People around him glared at the two people, but no one dared to say anything.

A star frowned.
