I'm a street kid, and my beautiful wife doesn't want a divorce!

The fish in the wet market may not be as fresh and plump as the ones in Li Xia.

Besides, Li Xia sold it cheaply.

Soon, Li Xia’s small stall attracted many people

"Boy, how much does this crucian carp cost per pound?"

"I want these three smaller ones, and they need to be fully scaled!"

"Give me this carp, young man, if it’s cheaper, I’ll buy it next time……"

"Hey, here it is, the fish in this restaurant is cheaper than in the wet market!"

……

More and more people are buying fish.

A swarm of bees surrounded Li Xia's cart.

Li Xia's hands and feet were very agile and he didn't panic.

Within an hour, more than 40 kilograms of fish were sold out.

Part of the reason is that Li Xia's fish is really fat, fresh and cheap. The other part of the reason is that Li Xia has a sweet mouth and a eloquent tongue. He attracts customers with just a few words.

In comparison, other stall owners are not as generous as Li Xia.

Most stall owners just wait for customers to come to their door, and they will only answer when others take the initiative to ask.

It took a long time to sell it for eighty cents.

Of course, Li Xia has nothing to be ashamed of. He should shout when he needs to shout. He is making money, not shabby.

There is a thick stack of woolen tickets in his pocket, among which there is a big unity ticket.

Li Xia was satisfied.

A large plastic pot of fish, weighing more than 40 kilograms, was all sold out, with only a few fish scales left in the pot.

I made a total of twenty-seven dollars and sixty-five cents.

Li Xia relaxed his muscles and bones, stood up, and carefully put the money away close to his body.

He poured out the water in the basin, tidied it up, and was about to leave while pushing the cart.

Suddenly, several middle-aged women trotted out from the family building community and saw Li Xia from a distance.

"Hey! Boy! Wait a moment!"

Li Xia was stunned.

He stopped and asked doubtfully:"Auntie? What's wrong?"

"Were you selling live fish here just now? wild?"

A few middle-aged women came over, looked at Li Xia curiously, glanced at the plastic basin on the trolley, and said in surprise:

"Are you sold out now? Li

Xia nodded and said with a smile:"Yes, aunt, my fish is fresh and fat. There are many people buying it, so I just happen to sell it. I'm lucky!""

As soon as Li Xia finished speaking, the ladies patted their legs with regrets on their faces.

"oops! None of us have bought it yet! My husband likes to eat fish. Well, will you come tomorrow?"

After the aunt finished speaking, several middle-aged women who came around also nodded.

"Yes, my sister Wang next door bought a crucian carp weighing one pound and three taels. She was killing it and steaming it in a pot. I saw it and asked her where she bought the fish. It was the size of the vegetable market. Already robbed"

"What a pity, I happened to go to the meat joint factory to buy meat today, but I didn’t buy any! Will you come tomorrow?"

"The fish in the wet market are expensive, and they all look quite thin. But your fish is better, young man. I must come tomorrow!"

Li Xia was startled. He didn't expect that the fish business would be so tight. Come to think of it

, it's not easy to catch fish. Firstly, the tools are backward. Secondly, now is a time when industry is developing vigorously. Those who have the strength are all in the factory. Farming is tiring and fishing is difficult, but workers earn a lot of money and are stable.

Young people who are still farming and fishing have all gone to the county industrial zone.

Why is the fish in the vegetable market almost catching up with the pork?

Because there is less fish. , and fish die easily.

Dead fish cannot be sold.

Pork is available every day, but aquatic products are not available every day.

Li Xia thought for a while and said to this group of middle-aged women:

"In this way, aunt, my trolley will appear here on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. If you come around seven o'clock, you will definitely be able to buy my fish."

"seven in the morning? Young man, I promised you that you must come tomorrow and wait for your fish!"

A few middle-aged women left with satisfaction.

Gulu!

It was Li Xia's stomach growling.

From the busy morning until now, Li Xia only ate a little fish at noon without eating a grain of rice.

Is he done? There was little physical work and huge energy consumption. After a while, I felt hungry.

When I came to the door of a pancake shop, shredded radish pancakes were five cents each, and beef filling pancakes were two cents each.

Li Xia asked for a shredded radish pancake. , three beef pancakes.

After paying the money, he took the hot pancakes.

Li Xia parked the cart next to the shop and asked the shop owner to take a look at the cart. The shop owner readily agreed.

In fact, even if the cart is left behind On the roadside, in this county, no one wanted it.

He finished a shredded radish pancake by dividing it by two, and his stomach finally felt a little better.

There were three beef pancakes left, wrapped in a paper bag, and a white one on the outside. Plastic bag.

This is naturally reserved for Chu Mengxi and the two greedy little guys.

The pancakes should not be cold when they go back.

Li Xia came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

These days, the supply and marketing cooperative is equivalent to the big supermarket in later generations.

What? All.

However, if you want to buy fine grains, rice noodles, etc., you have to use food stamps.

Otherwise, the price will be much higher.

Therefore, basically those who can afford fine grains all the time eat from the public For rice.

In small villages like Lishangrong Village, the staple food of every household is sweet potatoes and potatoes. They are grown on their own land and are easy to store.

Li Xia walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

After taking a look at the dazzling array of goods inside, the price list Behind the cashier counter.

He glanced at it. If he wanted to buy a pound of rice, he would have to take out a pound of food stamps and pay another 12 cents.

If he didn't have food stamps, he would have to pay 17 cents. You can buy a pound of rice with cents. Food stamps and flour stamps are issued in the village according to the population of each household.

There are still some stamps at home, and when Li Xia went out, he brought a few out.

In the village People here have plenty of food stamps.

After all, the staple food is sweet potatoes and other grains, and the little food they grow all year round is simply not enough to eat.

Li Xia handed over six food stamps and bought four kilograms of rice and two kilograms of noodles.

"Rice costs 121 cents and flour costs 141 cents. The total is 62 cents!"

The salesperson weighed the rice and noodles, put them into a plastic bag and handed them over.

Li Xia counted sixty-two cents from his pocket and handed them over.

Li Xia bought two bags of fine grains, which attracted a lot of people's attention.

It's not the New Year. Festival, only people with good family conditions can afford to buy fine grains.

Ordinary families buy coarse grains.

Everyone looked at Li Xia's simple dress, and a question mark appeared in their minds. They were very confused.

Li Xia did not pay attention to the people around him. He continued shopping with his eyes on him.

He shopped for another ten minutes and bought some kerosene, light bulbs, salt, sugar, matches, etc.

They were all daily necessities.

Although Shangrong Village is closed, it is not very far from the county seat. Therefore, electricity was also connected.

However, every household was reluctant to light electric lights.

Basically they lit kerosene lamps, and some villagers went to bed early in the evening and went to bed to save electricity and fuel.

Li Xia also found a seller in the supply and marketing cooperative The place for fishing lines and hooks.

These days, fishing tools are very simple. Unlike in the future, fishing lines are divided into main lines and sub-lines. How many kilograms of fish are caught are matched with what size fishing lines and fish hooks...

In the supply and marketing cooperative , there are only large and small fish hooks, and there is only one kind of fishing line.

This saves trouble.

Li Xia bought some fish hooks and fishing lines. They were cheap and only cost a dime in total.

The salesperson tore off a piece of newspaper and put He wrapped the fishhook and handed it to Li Xia along with a box of fishing line.

Finally, Li Xia came to a counter of high-end products.

He spent a lot of money.I bought a can of malted milk for 5 cents.

Originally, the salesperson at the counter had a bad attitude towards Li Xia and seemed condescending.

Because after taking a look at Li Xia's clothes, I subconsciously thought that the other party couldn't afford high-end products like malted milk.
