Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 42 The Friendly Fish Shop Owner
"Selling fish?" The owner of the fish shop raised his eyes to look at Niu Xiaodong and the three hiding outside the door, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I accept it, but where are your fish?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly explained: "We mainly want to come here today to inquire about the purchase price. If the price is right, we will sell the fish to you."

The owner of the fish shop snorted, and asked without answering, "How much fish do you have?"

Naturally, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't answer this question. Based on the area of ​​the wild pond, he gave an approximate figure: "Maybe a few hundred catties."

"What kind of fish are they?"

"This... is basically some common species, such as grass carp, crucian carp, and silver carp."

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's reluctant answer, the owner of the fish shop couldn't help showing doubts: "Do you really have fish in your hand?"

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that this person had a kind attitude and was easy to talk to, so he straightened his heart and revealed the truth: "Of course we have fish in our hands, but these fish are still kept in the fish pond. We plan to put the fish in the near future." The water in the pond has been drained, and the weather is too hot now, and we are worried that there will be big problems if the sales are not in time, so we come here in advance to check the market conditions.”

The owner of the fish shop couldn't help laughing: "I can't tell, you kid actually understands market conditions. Come on, let's sit down and talk."

The owner of the fish shop greeted Niu Xiaoqiang to sit down, reached out and picked up a small notebook on the table and handed it over: "This is the price I buy from other fishmongers. I fooled you when I was young, if you think the price is right, sell the fish to me, and we will settle the price according to the price above."

The owner of the fish shop runs his own business and needs to be responsible for his own profits and losses, so he has a good attitude in dealing with people and things.The supply and marketing cooperative is a state-owned enterprise. Whether it is a loss or a profit, it has little to do with the salesperson, so those salespersons are so arrogant.

His friendly attitude made Niu Xiaoqiang feel warm, and after thanking him repeatedly, Niu Xiaoqiang lowered his head to check the price.After reading it, he realized: it turns out that the fish harvested depends not only on the species, but also on the size. Big fish are expensive, while small fish are relatively cheap.

Niu Xiaoqiang's memory is very good, and he remembered it after reading it a few times, "Uncle, I have no problem with the price, but I have some doubts about the quantity. I wonder how much fish you can accept at one time?"

Nowadays, all kinds of daily necessities are in short supply. This shop is the only three fish selling places in Aoshan Town, and the owner of the shop is more personable, so the business is the best among them.

The owner of the fish shop laughed and said, "My shop can probably sell nearly two hundred catties of fish every day. In addition, I also supply the small cafeteria and guest house of the factory leader. In total, I can sell more than 280 catties a day. Yours If there are a lot of goods, I will definitely not be able to eat them all at once, we can buy and sell in batches, and I can collect up to 150 catties of goods from you a day, and I won’t be able to store any more.”

The conditions offered by the other party were very considerate of Niu Xiaoqiang, mainly because it was quite rare for him to come out to do business at such a young age, so he said so.Otherwise, if it were someone else, he might not be so considerate of the other party.After all, there is a certain chance that the fish will die when you receive it, which will make you lose money.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your care. After we drain the fish pond, we will come over and make an appointment with you in advance, so as not to catch you off guard."

The owner of the fish shop laughed: "That's right, you're so clever, let's settle down. By the way, my name is Gao Desheng. If I'm not there when you come next time, you can tell my lover about it." It was discussed with Gao Desheng in advance, she will not deny it."

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him repeatedly, and then walked out of the store.

The three of Niu Xiaodong heard it clearly from outside the door. As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang came out, they flattered like a tide:

"Brother Qiang, you are the best!"

"You are really capable. If it were me, I might not even be able to speak well, let alone do business with others."

"Brother Xiaoqiang is awesome!"

Niu Xiaoqiang let out a long breath, and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't praise me, in fact, I was quite nervous just now, but luckily I managed it."

"Brother Qiang, how is the price set?"

"Grass carp is three cents, carp is ten cents, silver carp is fifteen cents, and fat-headed fish is two cents. I don't think there are other fish in our wild ponds, so I didn't write them down. The above prices are for fish under two catties. , if the fish weighs more than two catties, the price will increase.”

After hearing this, Niu Xiaoyong couldn't help but be speechless: "The silver carp my mother bought last time cost two cents and one catty, which is eight cents more expensive than their purchase price. Isn't that too dark?"

Niu Xiaoqiang retorted: "What people earn is the money from changing hands. Besides, if the fish dies, they can't be sold at a high price, and they will lose money. How much is a few cents a catty expensive?"

Niu Xiaodong echoed: "Brother Qiang is right, since we have found a market, when shall we start?"

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing and said, "It's best to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest. According to my plan, it's more appropriate for us to pick up the goods in three days."

Niu Huahua showed a hesitant look: "Don't you have to go to school to get your report card in three days? Where is the time?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "It is because I have to go to school to get the report card in three days, so I will choose this day. When the time comes, we will speak together and tell the family before going out that we will help the teacher move, and we may not come back until very late. Don't you have time?"

Niu Huahua suddenly realized: "That's right!"

Niu Xiaoyong smiled and said: "Then it's settled, let's go, let's go home."

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly stopped him: "It's rare for us to have time to come out. Now that we're here, let's go around and find out the prices of the things we need to buy in the future, so we know what's going on."

Everyone agreed and followed Niu Xiaoqiang to wander around the town.I have been shopping until 02:30 in the afternoon, and then I set off to go home.

After a busy afternoon, everyone went home for dinner, and then learned how to ride a bicycle on the rice field at the east end of the village as agreed.

The four people used Erba Dagong to practice. There is a triangular bar in front of the seat of this bicycle. The legs of the four people are not long enough, so they can only pass their feet through the triangular bar to pedal.

When one person was learning, the other three were helping the cart behind, and Niu Xiaoqiang was the first to learn.

"are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Okay, I'm starting."

　Thank you book friend "Twilight Reaper" for your support, bow!
