In the ordinary world, I am the son-in-law of the Sun family

Chapter 46 Fish Head
gold?

The corner of Wang Manyin's mouth twitched. Does this correspond to his own code name? But this is Shaoan's own choice, and there is nothing to say, left and right are just a code name.

Then they made preparations before the opening of the market, put all the goods outside, and put away the measuring tools. After a while, a person came over with a black bag in his hand.

"Jin Zi, Mouse, you two should study hard. I may not come to Pigeon Market every time in the future, so you have to learn how to deal with customers."

Shao'an and Chen Minghao nodded quickly, puffing up their eyes for fear of missing a detail.

Wang Manyin tugged at her scarf, making sure her face was not exposed, then walked over to the farmer and said, "Brother, what do you want in exchange?"

Chen Minghao explained in a low voice beside him: "What we are doing is not legal, so we can't call everyone comrades or brothers outside the same way, fellow villagers are fine."

Sun Shaoan nodded, secretly remembering this point in his heart.

"I have a bag of vermicelli here. See how much grain it can be exchanged for. I only need coarse grains."

The man said with a bit of distress, it seemed that there was no food in the house, so he could only exchange vermicelli.

Wang Manyin didn't think too much about it, and he couldn't help others, so he exchanged a large bag of sorghum noodles and sweet potatoes for him according to the price.

After the man left, Wang Manyin made two points to him: "You need to be familiar with the price of every commodity here, so that you can know the quantity of exchange, but this is also simple, and you will remember it after a while."

Speaking of Wang Manyin, he took them to memorize the value of each item, but Sun Shaoan had a way to write it down on a piece of discarded draft paper with a pencil.

Chen Minghao didn't remember it, he had already remembered a lot when he came to Pigeon Market last time.

While the three of them were talking, another masked man came, clutching a bamboo basket tightly in his hands, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it from him.

When the man came to the wooden shed, Wang Manyin pushed Shaoan to give it a try.

Shaoan was not a timid one either, so he walked up and asked, "My fellow, what do you want in exchange?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "How many fish do I have, do you want to take it?"

Sun Shaoan was taken aback, he didn't know the value of the fish, so he turned around and asked, "Silver, here is a fish that can be exchanged, how should I exchange it?"

Wang Manyin's eyes lit up. He has eaten both pork and mutton after coming here for so long, but he really hasn't seen a single fish.

Although the Dongla River has a lot of water, there is not a single fish in it, which makes him have an illusion that there are no fish in the Loess Plateau.

He came over and asked lightly, "Can I see what kind of fish it is?"

The man looked at Wang Manyin's tall body with small eyes, and slowly lifted the cloth on the basket, revealing two frozen grass carp, each weighing one or two catties.

Combining the memories of his predecessors, Wang Manyin said: "Fish is rare in our place, and there are few people who cook and eat it. Although it is expensive outside, it is not easy for us to deal with it. Besides, you are wild, and we are afraid that there will be fish." Something unclean."

The man panicked when he heard that, "Does that mean you don't plan to take it?"

Wang Manyin glanced at him vaguely, and told him intuitively that this person probably has a lot of fish, maybe he found a lake with a lot of fish.

He pondered for a while and said, "Fish is meat anyway, so you can still have it if you want it, but if you change too many things, we can't afford the risk."

"How much can you give?"

"At most thirty cents a catty."

"No, no, no." The man quickly shook his head, "This is meat, how can it only sell for three cents, pork costs sixty-seven cents a catty, you can add more."

The corner of Wang Manyin's mouth lightly raised, "You only have two. I just want to exchange them for a taste. If you don't exchange them, forget it. You can go to other pigeon markets."

The man blinked, and suddenly came over and asked, "If I can provide a lot of fish, can I raise the price?"

"A lot of fish, how many can there be?" Wang Manyin asked as if he didn't believe it.

"At least a few hundred catties." The man said a figure conservatively.

Wang Manyin pretended to think about it, and turned around to discuss with Shaoan and Chen Minghao pretendingly, then turned around and nodded with difficulty, "Okay, if you can provide more than five hundred catties of fish, I will give you four cents A catty."

"Okay!" The man hurriedly agreed as if he was afraid that he would regret it, weighed the two fish in the basket casually, sold them, and left in a hurry.

Wang Manyin held two fish in his hand, and his heart was already full of smiles. Now some of them have made a profit. Don’t think that forty cents a catty is very expensive. If they are sold to Gezi City in the county, the profit will be several times immediately.

The Loess Plateau is really short of fish, especially in the poorest county of Yuanxi, where eating fish has become a luxury experience.

It is precisely because of this that the price of fish has been raised very high, at least two yuan a catty in the black market.

Wang Manyin guessed that the man must have discovered a large number of wild fish in a certain place, so he wanted to come to the pigeon market to exchange a sum of money. He thought he had made money, but in fact Wang Manyin made more money.

"Yinzi, that person probably found a good place, do you want to follow and have a look?" Chen Minghao suggested.

Wang Manyin shook his head, "It's not necessary, we just need to run our own pigeon market well, I wish there were more people like him."

Less than ten minutes later, the man walked over with two baskets, and when the cloth covering them was lifted, they were all frozen fish.

Wang Manyin did not refuse anyone who came, and took all of them at [-] cents a catty. The moment the man got the money, he immediately beamed with joy.

He was originally a second-timer from Xiashan Village, one of the poorest nearby villages, so he could only go up the mountain to find some food.

One day, when I was walking along the Dongla River with one of my brothers, I accidentally fell into the forest and found a lake with a lot of wild grass carp in it.

This place is very hidden, and there is no road leading to it, so it has not been discovered by people.

Together, the two immediately decided to sell the fish to Pigeon Market, and this is how the scene just now happened.

Wang Manyin handed the man a cigarette and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"Just call me Yutou." The man said without even thinking about it. Obviously, he had planned to use this code name before coming here.

Wang Manyin nodded. "Brother Yutou can send as many fish as he wants in the future, and we will eat as much as you send."

Yutou nodded and replied excitedly: "Okay, we will ship a batch of fish every five days from now on, and all of them will be priced at [-] cents a catty. You are not allowed to go back on your word."

The two talked a few more words, but Yutou seemed very cautious, ended the topic hastily, and left with the money
