After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 20 Sold out

"Lu Hai." Lu He scolded, suppressing Lu Hai's anger, and took out five cents from his pocket and handed it over.

"You two are in business, and you have to pay five cents." The officer sneered at Lu Hai and extended his palm towards Xu Mengxiao.

Lu Hai felt that his anger was rising again, but in the end, this ugly girl who usually refused to take any losses actually obediently paid five cents.

"You guys know each other!" The officer was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, sir!" Xu Mengxiao shouted, and with the other party's impatient and defensive look on his face, he fished out the underground river fish from the bucket that was too big to fit between his teeth.

"You have worked hard, and this is my tribute to you."

The fish was very lively, jumping in her hand, and it looked very delicious. Xu Mengxiao took out a piece of straw from the basket on his back, put it into the fish's mouth, tied a knot, and handed it to the Yamen servant.

The yamen servant's wrinkled face instantly relaxed, not to mention how pleasant he looked.

"You're a little girl who knows how to behave, unlike some people. Huh, if you come again in the future, I'll charge you two cents!"

Xu Mengxiao seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir."

"Flattery!" Lu Hai sneered immediately after the person left.

"You're awesome. You'd better have a fight with him and then be arrested and beaten up. We won't have to sell anything."

"If I fight, I will definitely convince him! I won't have to pay so much money, and I will lose a fish."

"Then what? If you win the fight, you will be arrested and beaten, oh, maybe even more beaten."

Lu Hai choked instantly.

There was a faint smile in Lu He's eyes, and he pressed Lu Hai's unconvinced shoulders and said, "Friendliness brings wealth."

Lu Hai insisted on making things complicated for a problem that could obviously be solved very simply. Even a little girl could understand the truth, but he didn't understand the twists and turns involved.

"I don't want to stay with you, lest my fortune be affected." Xu Mengxiao seemed to be disgusted. She picked up her things and left. Anyway, she had paid the stall fee and could choose another place.

"You!" Lu Hai was so angry that he jumped on the spot.

Lu He's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Xu Mengxiao, who seemed to have chosen a stall far away from them as if by accident.

Xu Mengxiao came to this town not just to sell things, because the original owner had never traveled far and had a limited vision. She had no understanding of this dynasty or its customs, which made her feel unsafe.

On the other hand, if you want to make money and get rich, you must know more about the market conditions.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to get too close to Lu He and do things under his nose, although she has revealed a lot of her true nature at this moment.

But Xu Mengxiao had more than one secret. She even doubted whether Lu He had already seen through her.

So Xu Mengxiao just sent the fish even though he didn't need to, so that he could leave while quarreling with Lu Hai.

Xu Mengxiao also specially picked an aunt who sells good vegetables next to her. After all, people come and go. If more people stop here, they can also notice her fish and mushrooms.

The aunt was warm-hearted and loved gossip. After a while, she and Xu Mengxiao were chatting enthusiastically, and they were asked about many things in the past.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who looked like a steward stopped in front of the aunt and bought some vegetables.

Several kilograms of beans, eggplants, and some freshly dug wild vegetables filled a large basket, but in the end they only sold for more than ten cents.

Xu Mengxiao secretly clicked his tongue.

As she expected, the man was attracted by the movement in her bucket and turned to look at her, "How do you sell this black fish?"

Xu Mengxiao didn't talk nonsense, "This is wild snakehead fish, priced at fifteen cents per catty. If you buy more, it will be counted as fourteen cents per catty, and we will also provide you with a fish scraping service."

The man who was a little tempted to leave after hearing the fifteen articles became interested, "Fish scraping service?"

Of course he has seen fish scrapers. If you are in the fish market, there are many people who help scrape fish. However, in the past two years, fish has been scarce, and there are fewer fish sellers. The price is much higher, almost [-] or [-] yuan. One pound, this costs fifteen cents. He wanted to go somewhere else.But I became curious about this "service".

"That's it." Xu Mengxiao looked up at Lu He and the others, and saw Lu Hai looking over with wide eyes, as if he was not convinced that she had gotten business so quickly.

Xu Mengxiao smiled brightly and waved to him.

Lu Hai was delighted, "Brother, she seems to be in trouble!"

Lu He looked over and said, "Go over there, she has something to ask you for."

"Humph, I knew you couldn't live without me." Lu Hai originally wanted to pretend not to see it, but he was really curious about what Xu Mengxiao wanted to do with him.

"Here you go, scrape off the fish scales and make it nice." Xu Mengxiao took out the kitchen knife that had been used in many ways.

"What, Sha Yulin? Let me?" Lu Hai frowned.

"What, you don't know how? Then forget it, I'll do it." Xu Mengxiao looked disgusted and pretended to take the knife back.

"Who says I can't do it anymore? I'm really good at scraping fish!" Lu Hai was so excited by the success that he caught a fish and started scraping it on the spot.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to say that he would not buy fish, for fear that he would buy it if the fish scales were shaved off, but when he saw Lu Hai holding a knife in one hand and holding a big, lively black fish in the other, he did not need to press it on the chopping board, but just held it in the air. The live fish looks like flying flowers and broken jade in the hand.

Under the sun, the fish scales reflected brilliant colorful light, flying in Lu Hai's hands.

Gradually, more and more people are attracted by the movements here.

Seeing the acrobatic fish scale-shaving performance, they all shouted, "Okay!"

"Wonderful!"

"My little brother is so good at scraping fish."

Lu Hai's vanity suddenly swelled, and he wanted to shave off two more, but Xu Mengxiao stopped him and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Are you satisfied with this service? Do you want to buy fish?"

The middle-aged man didn't expect that he would just go out to buy groceries and watch a wonderful performance. He even felt a little unsatisfied.

"Well, then buy three, and shave the other two as well."

He wanted to buy fish anyway, and three fish might end up being more than ten cents more expensive than elsewhere. But when he saw the people around him, all eager to see the fish, he couldn't say why he didn't buy it. .

So Lu Hai successfully became a tool man again.

Shaving fish scales may seem simple, but it is very difficult to do it as expertly and skillfully as Lu Hai does. It is like a chef decapitating an ox. To a certain extent, it becomes highly professional and ornamental.

Lu Hai didn't realize that he had become a "monkey" being watched. The more people he saw, the more he became arrogant and changed his tricks to make fish scales appear.

"Okay!" Someone clapped.

Xu Mengxiao grinned from the corner of her mouth to her ears, and she almost felt weak when accepting the money.

We have just collected more than 100 articles from middle-aged men here, and several more people came to the crowd to buy fish, one after another, in an endless stream.

"I want one!"

"I'll buy one too. I haven't eaten fish for a long time. This black fish looks very good."

"Little girl, weigh me quickly."

In a short time, Xu Mengxiao sold all the fifteen fish, plus the eighty coins he earned from the fat aunt.

I actually got almost [-] Wen in one breath!
