Chapter 47 Selling Fish
The next day, the four people went out again, and after a desperate struggle, they finally completed the set work.

After lunch, Niu Xiaoqiang, who had just learned how to ride a bicycle, came to the town on his family's [-]-bar.Gao Desheng happened to be in the store, and the two agreed on a delivery date, and Niu Xiaoqiang rode his bicycle home.

On the morning of the third day, the four of them came to the willow tree at the entrance of the village.Niu Xiaoqiang murmured to the other three in a low voice: "Everyone, I don't think we all need to go to school, just leave the report card to one person, and the rest of us can spare time to sell fish."

The three of you look at me and I look at you, and they don't seem to want to take on the work of getting everyone's transcripts.This is also easy to understand: it looks like a bumper harvest, who doesn't want to witness it with their own eyes?

Niu Xiaoqiang had already guessed that the three of them would be reluctant, so he took the initiative to mobilize his troops: "Xiaohua, you should go to school to get your report card, we will go to town with a bucket on your back later, you are a girl, don't worry about it. Not enough."

Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong immediately agreed, saying that Niu Xiaoqiang was right.

Niu Huahua thought about it, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll get your report card for you, and then I'll meet you in the town. Don't leave after you sell the fish, you must wait for me in front of the fish shop. "

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Don't worry, we will definitely wait for you, and we will eat popsicles together."

Only then did Niu Huahua smile: "Okay, after I get the report card, I will definitely rush to town as quickly as possible, and there will be no delay."

After the discussion, the four of them split up. Niu Huahua ran towards the school with his schoolbag on his back, while Niu Xiaoqiang and the others rushed to Hope Farm.

Yesterday, Niu Xiaoqiang had ordered everyone to dig the ditch deeper and release part of the water in the wild pond.In addition, a deep pit was dug in a corner of the wild pond, and some water was filled in it to store fry.

The three started working immediately after arriving at the destination. Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong were responsible for launching the fish into the water, and Niu Xiaoqiang was responsible for lifting the fish ashore and estimating the weight of the fish.

There were quite a lot of big fish in the wild pond, and without much effort, the two caught more than a dozen big ones weighing more than ten catties. Among these fish, except for two fat-headed fish, the rest were all grass carp.

Niu Xiaoqiang reckoned that the number was almost enough, and immediately yelled the two of them to go ashore.In order to facilitate transportation, he specially asked everyone to bring the big back basket at home. After Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong went ashore, Niu Xiaoqiang helped them put the bucket of fish into the back basket, so that they could carry it on their backs. It's much easier to walk with a bucket.

There were three backpacks in total, and this time Niu Xiaoqiang was not lazy, and the three of them set off together with the backpacks on their backs.

In order to ensure that the fish can be sold to Gao Desheng alive, Niu Xiaoqiang specially added water to the bucket, so the bucket was very heavy, and each person had to carry a weight of about [-] catties.

At the beginning, the three of them didn't feel tired, but as they walked, they gradually couldn't bear it. From time to time, Niu Xiaoqiang would call everyone to stop and rest.It took the three of them a full two hours to complete the seven-mile journey.

After arriving at the entrance of the fish shop, Niu Xiaodong, who was the thinnest, sat down on the steps and kept yelling, "Oh, my shoulder hurts so much, it must have been strangled... Hiss..."

Niu Xiaoyong was a little stronger than him. Instead of sitting down, he stood there and wiped his sweat: "Stop screaming, this is just the first time selling fish, and I will be doing this for the next few days."

Niu Xiaodong immediately showed a fearful expression, and Niu Xiaoqiang comforted him with a smile: "It's not that scary, tomorrow we can use the ox to carry the fish, and we don't need to carry it on our backs."

Niu Xiaodong felt relieved after hearing this, and he couldn't help urging: "Brother Qiang, shouldn't we deliver the goods earlier?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "You guys look after the fish here, I'll go find Boss Gao."

Now is the peak season for selling fish, the fish shop is full of customers, and Gao Desheng is very busy.Since he had discussed the delivery date with Niu Xiaoqiang yesterday, he didn't take too much from the fishmonger today. Seeing that the fish in the pond were almost sold out, Gao Desheng couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Uncle Gao, I have brought the goods."

Gao Desheng turned his head to look, and then his face showed surprise: "Looking left and right, I finally expected you to come, if you come later, I will sell out of stock, let's go, let's go and see the stock. "

While speaking, he handed the wallet to his lover, and walked out carrying a large basket and a steelyard.

Gao Desheng first looked at the fish carried by the three of them, and his eyes lit up when he saw it: "What a big fish, young man, your family really knows how to raise fish."

Niu Xiaoqiang was worried about meeting acquaintances in the village, so he hurriedly ordered Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong to lift the bucket containing fish to the corner, and then said: "Uncle Gao, according to the price list you provided earlier, the bigger the fish, the higher the price, yes Is that so?"

Gao Desheng nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I will not deceive you. As I said before, the price of the transaction will be based on the price list. Let's weigh it quickly. I am worried that if there is a delay, the fish in my shop will be sold." It’s gone, it’s strange to say, I don’t know what’s going on today, but the business is much better than before.”

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed with a smile, and helped Gao Desheng pour the fish into the big plastic frame, and then ordered Niu Xiaoyong and Niu Xiaodong to help lift the scale beam, while he stood beside Gao Desheng to check the number that was weighed.

"This is a kilogram scale. If you look carefully, the number on the scale is 28 kilograms, which is 56 catties, right?"

"Well, that's right."

Gao Desheng nodded when he heard this, poured the box of fish into the pool of the fish shop, and continued to weigh the next round.

After weighing all the fish, Gao Desheng weighed the basket containing the fish again in front of Niu Xiaoqiang, and then began to settle accounts: "The total weight of several weighings is 89 kilograms, which is 170 eight catties. The weight of the fish box is three catties, we weighed it four times in total, we need to subtract twelve catties, so the total weight of the fish is 160 six catties, is that the number?"

Niu Xiaoqiang calculated much faster than him. He smiled and said, "Uncle Gao, the grass carp weighs 140 jin, and the two fat-headed fish just weigh [-] jin, right?"

Gao Desheng nodded with a smile: "Not bad, you're good at arithmetic, let's calculate the total price according to the negotiated price."

When Gao Desheng said this, he was lying on the table with a pen to do arithmetic problems. After the calculation, he handed the notebook to Niu Xiaoqiang: "According to my calculation, the total price is 46 cents. Check the account, is it correct?"
