Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 314
Su Qingyue walked into the master bedroom, looked at the three men sitting on the kang against the wall, and looked at the second brother, "Second brother, what is the price of the fish?"

"Live fish is five cents a catty in the town, and sometimes someone in the village catches them and sells them in the village for the same price. Dead fish are cheaper and can only be sold for three cents."

"It's so cheap." She asked, "Does anyone sell dried fish? How much is a catty of dried fish?"

"I heard that the price is the price of pork."

Su Qingyue knows that pork is eleven cents per catty.The two baskets of fish she forked were all dead fish, and when they were dried, about three catties could be made into one catty.

Three catties of dead fish can be sold for nine cents, but dried fish is worth eleven cents per catty.

It's evening now, and many people's houses have smoked from their kitchens.

The fish has to be dried for ten days and half a month, and it has to be sold, and the money is too slow.

The weather was hot, and the kettle on the table in the room was empty again. After filling the kettle with water, she went to the kitchen and dumped half of the full basket of fish on the pile of fish on the ground before. , took a large handful of long grass that had been prepared earlier, took part of it, went to the utility room to get the scale that the second brother usually weighs and sells prey, and walked to the village well.

It was time for dinner, and many people came back from the fields, and many people were queuing up to dig well water with buckets.There are also some people enjoying the coolness under the trees next to the village well.

"Su Qingyue, what are you carrying in the basket?" Qian Youfa saw it and asked.

Su Qingyue walked to the open space not far from the well, "Where are the half-baked fish, everyone wants to buy fish, come and buy."

"Dead or alive?" asked one of the people who were queuing up to dig well water.

A middle-aged man passing by replied, "Is it still a question of wearing a basket on your back? Of course he's dead." He stopped in front of Su Qingyue.

Qingyue knew her. The last time Liu Xianglian "jumped into the river to commit suicide", he went into the water to save people. It was Master Yang who was skilled at tanning the fur of prey in the village.

"How much is a catty of your fish?" Master Yang asked.

"Three texts."

He reached out to turn over the fish and smelled it, "It doesn't smell, it should have just died."

Qingyue said with a smile, "Yes. It was forked in the creek."

"Weigh these two."

"No problem." Su Qingyue picked up the ancient scale beam, hung the weight on it, and weighed the two fish on the pendant of the scale, "Two and a half catties, seven and a half cents, it's not easy to calculate money, why don't you add a fish?" small?"

"Alright." Master Yang nodded.

Su Qingyue chose a fish that was half a catty in size, "It's less than three catties and one or two catties, count as three catties for you."

"Okay." Master Yang paid nine coins.

Su Qingyue took the money and put it into her sleeve pocket, rubbed two pieces of long grass to form a 'rope', put the three fish through the mouth of the fish and inserted them out from the gills of the fish, put them on, tied the rope with a knot, and carried it To Master Yang.

Several people bought fish one after another.

Mrs. Qian Zhang also came to dig the well water with an empty bucket. Seeing Su Qingyue selling fish, she was inconceivable, "Hey, I'm talking about Xiao's daughter-in-law. You only picked fungus this morning. Where did you get the fish for sale?"

"Forked in the stream."

"Which stream?"

Su Qingyue became impatient, "It's not a stream that got it, why are you asking so many questions?"

A woman laughed and said, "Qian Zhang must also want to go fishing."

"You don't want to?" Mrs. Qian Zhang glanced at her, and then asked Su Qingyue, "Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, how much is your fish?"

"Three texts."

"Look, it's getting dark, and your fish will stink if you can't sell it. It costs a penny a catty, right?"
