"If I borrow a trolley, will you seriously give me these two fish?"

Aunt Wang didn't quite believe it.

She was more willing to believe that this street kid was just playing tricks on her.

How could it be such a good thing?

However,

Li Xia smiled brightly and nodded.

"Aunt Wang, you usually take care of my two little kids, so I’m sorry for bothering you. These two fishes can be considered a thank you to you.……"

This is Li Xia's sincere words. Aunt Wang is a pretty good neighbor in the street.

After hearing what Li Xia said, Aunt Wang somewhat believed it.

However, she also wondered, did the sun really rise in the west today?

I can hear such words from this bastard.

Could it be that his head was caught in the door?

When did Li Xia, a bastard like him, start caring about his two little children?

If you want to say that a street kid like Li Xia has changed his mind, Aunt Wang will never believe it.

She preferred to believe that this bastard fell on his head while walking.

Just wondering.

Li Xia had already put two fish into Aunt Wang's hands.

Aunt Wang felt her hands sink. Oops, these two fish add up to two and a half kilograms!

Swallowed again.

I can eat fish at night.

Aunt Wang felt a bit like a dream.

Just now, I was lying on the wicker chair dreaming. Unexpectedly, after a while, my dream came true?!

"Aunt Wang, I will borrow the cart right now. When Uncle Jiang comes back from the fields, you can say something to him."

With that said, Li Xia entered the door.

He unloaded the haystacks stacked on the cart, and then pushed the cart out.

Aunt Wang was carrying two fresh crucian carp, feeling very happy.

"Hey, push it away quickly. I can't make the decision on this cart. There's no need to tell Uncle Jiang."

After sending Li Xia out, Aunt Wang immediately put the two fish in the basin and raised them.

At this time, Aunt Wang recalled what Li Xia had just said.

What?

Did Li Xia catch this fish in the river before ? There are many people in the village who have fished in the river, but they spend a lot of time and catch very few fish.

Many times, they only catch one or two palm-sized fish in two or three days. Although it is an improvement. But it took a lot of time, and no one was taking care of the crops in the fields, so the gains outweighed the losses. In this way, the villagers no longer paid attention to fishing in the river.

The fish was caught by Li Xia, and Aunt Wang believed it.

Li Xia has no other abilities. When it comes to catching birds and fish, he might actually have this ability.

However, he must be very lucky to catch these two big fat fish.

This street kid doesn't have a serious job. If he has this kind of thing every day If you are lucky, you can catch one or two wild fish like this, which may improve your life.

However,

Aunt Wang then thought about it, how could she catch such a big fat fish every day? Li Xia was just lucky.

Fishing takes a lot of time and energy, and you bet on your luck. If you are unlucky and fail to catch, it will be a waste of time and not worth it.

Aunt Wang shook her head and said in her heart:"I will take care of what the street gangsters do." What, I have to think about how to cook this fish at night……"

……

Li Xia pushed the cart into his yard and checked it carefully.

After all, this cart has not been used all year round. Whether the wheels are rusty or whether the wooden boards are moth-eaten are all problems.

The trolley is used to haul fish to the town market for sale. If it breaks down halfway, it will be troublesome.

After Li Xia checked it carefully and repeatedly, he found that there was no major problem with the trolley, and he was quite familiar with it.

Duoduo saw the cart and threw the ball to Nuan Nuan. She ran over and said curiously with her eyes wide open:

"Dad, do you want Duoduo to help?"

Four-year-old Duoduo already has some thinking ability.

She guessed that Li Xia might use this cart to go to the county town to make money.

She was sensible and wanted to help Li Xia.

At this time, Nuan Nuan hugged the bamboo strip ball , also jumping and running over.

"Daddy, Nuannuan is also here to help."

Li Xia gently patted the two little guys on their heads and said softly:

"You two little guys, just stay at home and help. Dad is going to the county town and will bring you something delicious when he comes back."

"good~!"

"good~!"

The two little guys nodded obediently.

Li Xia felt relieved leaving the two of them at home.

The two little guys have always been very well-behaved and not as naughty as boys, so there is no need to worry about them getting hurt by bumps and collisions.

Moreover, there is Aunt Wang next door taking care of her.

If the crying reaches the next door, Aunt Wang will rush over immediately

……

Li Xia took out the large plastic basin for the two little ones to bathe from the house.

The plastic basin has been used for several years, and the cracked areas are covered with yellow tape.

Li Xia put the plastic basin on the trolley, and then put the fish in the tank into the basin.

The plastic basin is big enough and filled with fish.

Li Xia held a bundle of pigweed and covered it to prevent fish from jumping out.

There are still a few fish left in the tank, which they keep for themselves.

Li Xia pushed the cart to the county seat.

It is more than ten miles from the village to the county seat.

Li Xia was young, strong and fast, so it took less than an hour.

The county town is very lively, with supply and marketing cooperatives, meat factories, and family buildings in mining areas...

The 1980s was a golden age everywhere.

The era of planned economy has passed and the era of market economy is about to usher in

""Speculation" has become a thing of the past.

At present, although there is no concept of individual merchants, many people have begun to set up street stalls in an open and honest manner.

However, supplies are still scarce. There are craftsmen who make benches and weave bamboo baskets for sale; some people sell their fields There are fresh vegetables grown in the house; there are those selling sesame cakes; there are also those selling dog skin plasters...

Li Xia found a place with a lot of traffic near the family building and started selling fish.

At this time, the employees of every household had not yet got off work.

In the morning and In the evening, housewives would go out to buy groceries.

But at this time.

Poof... a bream jumped out of the plastic basin, drew an arc in the air, and landed on the ground.

The fish was full of energy.

It was jumping around on the ground. , the fish's mouth kept opening and closing.

Middle-aged women coming and going happened to see this scene. Before

Li Xia shouted, a middle-aged woman came over and asked.

"Why! This fish of yours is really fat. Do you want to sell it? Li

Xia smiled brightly and replied:

"Of course I sell it!"

"Sister, you are really discerning. This fish was caught from the river in the morning. It is fresh. Look, how energetic it is!"

The middle-aged woman smiled happily as Li Xia shouted and praised her.

"This bream is big enough. How much does it cost per pound?"

"Seventy-eight cents per catty, sister, you are my first customer, I will give you a discount, seventy-five cents per catty, what do you think? The middle-aged woman nodded and said with a smile:"Okay, young man, you are very happy. I want this fish.""

The price Li Xia sells is not expensive.

It should be said that it is much cheaper.

The price of fresh fish in the wet market is 82 cents per catty for a whole fish over one catty, and 75 cents per catty for less than one catty.

And the prices outside Small vendors naturally want the food market to be cheaper, otherwise why don't everyone buy it in the food market?

This bream is big and fat, weighing much more than a pound. Li Xia only sells it for 75 cents, which is already very affordable.

"okay."

Li Xia took out an old-fashioned steel scale from the cart. This scale was found by Li Xia while rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home. In the past, Li Xia's father often went to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and then carried a sack of bamboo shoots to sell in the county town for money. In addition to farming, This was another source of income for the family.

Later, Li's father had bad legs and feet and stopped going.

Li Xia put the fish on the tray, then carried the rope and pulled the weight……

"Sister, one pound is seven taels, look!"

Li Xia showed the scale to the middle-aged woman. The latter looked at it, nodded, and then took out the money.

Li Xia skillfully pulled out two straws, twisted them, and then passed them through the fish's mouth and out through the gills. , tied a knot, lifted it, and handed the fish to the middle-aged woman.

She received a dollar and a quarter.

This was the first money Li Xia earned after his rebirth.

He held a few cents in his hand, feeling at ease.

"Well, you are a real person. Will you come tomorrow? I will buy a crucian carp and make soup at home. My daughter-in-law is pregnant."

This middle-aged woman looks well-dressed and well-dressed. She is probably a family member of a leading cadre. She usually eats well.

Li Xia smiled and said,"Come back tomorrow, eldest sister, and I'll leave a piece of fat for you. You also help me introduce business, and I will give you a discount!"

"good."

The middle-aged woman left happily and remembered Li Xia's stall.

After the first business was opened, subsequent businesses came one after another.
