Chapter 20: Selling fish outside Deshengmen, it's okay to be careful

Not only have they grown bigger, but there are still a lot of them, but there are not too many of them weighing seven or eight kilograms like this.

The four or five kilograms of fish seem to be densely packed, and they are probably the descendants of the first batch of small fish put into the fish pond.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have bought these dozen today. But it’s okay to buy them anyway, as it allows me to have more varieties.

After coming out of the space, Li Jiayi did not go to buy fish again, but planned to find a place to eat something.

It is very troublesome to eat out now. You need food coupons to eat out, and you cannot eat food with meat. You need meat coupons to eat food with meat.

Li Jiayi had some food coupons, but no meat coupons, so he could only find a state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

"Give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles." After coming in, he went straight to the counter.

This is not the later times where you eat first and pay later. Now you pay first and eat later, mainly because they are afraid that you don’t have a ticket.

"How much do you want?" asked the waiter.

"Three or two!"

"Three taels of food coupons and seven cents."

A pound of flour costs 1.42 cents, and three ounces of flour is less than five cents, but you can't not let people make some money!

Otherwise, who will pay the chefs and waiters' salaries? Although this is a state-owned enterprise, it cannot be sold at a loss.

So Li Jiayi thinks the price is reasonable, after all, they are doing the job well for you.

After paying the bill, he found a seat and sat down and waited. It was just a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and it was made very quickly.

Less than five minutes after we sat down, we asked him to serve the food. Yes, in this kind of small state-owned restaurant, you have to do it yourself.

After all, the place is small and there is only one waiter, who has to collect money and clean up the dishes.

Li Jiayi started eating after the vegetarian noodles were brought over. To be honest, the taste was really not that good, which was normal, lacking oil and meat, but that was acceptable.

Li Jiayi ate three or two noodles and was full. After the meal, he walked towards Deshengmen. Yes, he was going to the Pigeon Market to sell some fish.

Although this stuff is cheap, many people buy it! 40 cents per pound, only a little more expensive than the white flour in Pigeon Market.

If you buy white flour in Pigeon Market without a ticket, it costs 35 cents per pound. To be honest, this price is very reasonable.

Because at present, fine grain coupons are sold at 20 cents per pound in Pigeon Market, while white flour is sold at 1.42 cents at the grain station.

Some people said that why food coupons are more expensive than flour, but this is actually normal.

Only with food coupons did you have the qualifications to buy food. Without food coupons, no one would sell food to you no matter how much money you paid.

Of course, for now, food coupons are an extension of the food book. Once the quota on the food book has been purchased, you can only use food coupons to buy food.

"Uncle, how much do you sell this basket for?"

On the way to Deshengmen, Li Jiayi saw an old man selling large baskets woven with rattan on the roadside, so he went up to ask him.

"Just give me a dime."

To be honest, this basket is not valuable, what is valuable is the craftsmanship. To weave this basket, you not only have to cut suitable rattan, but also process it before weaving it.

In general, it would take at least less than a day to weave this basket.

"I'll have one." Li Jiayi took out a dime and handed it over.

I'm going to sell fish later, but I can't carry them with me! It's good to have a basket as a cover.

After walking for a while, Li Jiayi entered an alley. When he came out again, the basket in his hand was gone.

In less than half an hour, he was out of Deshengmen, but he did not go directly to Pigeon City. Instead, he went into the woods next to Pigeon City.

Soon he entered the Pigeon Market carrying a basket of fish, which he covered with branches with leaves.

"Fish for sale, big and fat fish, only 40 cents a pound." Li Jiayi shouted after removing the branch.

"Little comrade, give me one."

As soon as I finished shouting, someone came to buy.

Li Jiayi randomly mentioned one and said, "Two dollars."

"Two dollars, is this five pounds?" The person buying the fish was a young man in his twenties who obviously lacked life experience.

If a middle-aged woman who often buys groceries and cooks, she would never ask Li Jiayi this question.

"Five pounds, no more, no less."

Just kidding, as long as the object is in the space, no matter how heavy it is, or how big or high it is, he can know it with just a thought.

These fish were all selected by him, so he must know how heavy they are.

"Okay, I'll take one and give you the money."

The young man paid the money and left with the fish.

Five pounds of fish is enough for a meal if there are not many people in the family. It can be said that it is definitely very good except that it is not oily.

"They're selling fish. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"Little comrade, how much do you sell fish for?"

"Aunt, it's 40 cents a pound, but now it's sold by the strip. A strip weighs five pounds, and it's two dollars."

"Then give me one."

In fact, there is no need for Li Jiayi to say so much. It is obvious that this aunt is someone who often buys groceries and cooks.

It’s completely different from the young people before.

"okay!"

He took two dollars, strung the fish on a straw rope and handed it over.

"Aunt, please take it."

"Little comrade, give me one too."

Li Jiayi had just handed the fish to the aunt when a middle-aged man spoke up.

"okay!"

In less than twenty minutes, he had sold more than ten.

So he quickly packed up, picked up the basket and left.

Of course it’s not about leaving, but I can’t sell at this price anymore.

You know, there are people selling things on both sides! One fish is five catties, and ten fish are fifty catties.

It would be more reasonable to just leave, but it would be a bit unreasonable to continue selling.

Not to mention how much the basket can hold, can a ten-year-old kid like him carry so many things at once?

So he had no choice but to leave.

But he didn't walk too far. There were so many people in the pigeon market that he didn't need to walk far before he could see no one.

Although I didn't walk far, I didn't stay in that row either. What if people sold their things and left? What would they think if they saw that you just moved to another place to sell?

Although Li Jiayi looks young, he actually has the soul of a man in his thirties inside his body.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Jiayi went to more than ten places and sold more than ten fish in each place.

Although it was still a long time before dark, he still left. There was no other way, he was afraid of meeting someone with ulterior motives!
We can’t sell here anymore. Not only can we not sell it today, but we can’t come here for the next few days either.

You have to know that in the pigeon market, there are not only people selling and buying things, but also people who commit petty thefts.

These people are running around all over Pigeon City. I'd be in trouble if they noticed me.

There is no way, I am too young! It would be better if I were a few years older, but for now, safety comes first.

There is no end to making money. Besides, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future.

If he wasn't short of money, he wouldn't be selling things out now.

　PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
