Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu
Chapter 10 Buying Seafood
Xu Huizhen agreed. She took out a pen and paper, calculated for a while, and said, "We need 500 catties of kelp, 100 catties of dried shrimp, 200 catties of dried shrimp, 200 catties of large shrimp and small dried fish each. We need 600 catties of Spanish mackerel, hairtail, and sea bass, and 200 catties of octopus. I roughly calculated it, and it's 297 yuan in total. After deducting 19 yuan for rice and flour, there is still 5 yuan left. Do you think it's right?"
The village chief said, "You are really good at writing. You can calculate so quickly without using an abacus. I am not as good as you. I will ask the village accountant to calculate it later."
Xu Huizhen then instructed, "Uncle Village Chief, please keep our transaction as confidential as possible. The fewer people who know about it, the better. The current policy does not encourage private transactions, so we should be careful. Don't you agree?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Girl, you are right. It is better to be safe than sorry."
Xu Huizhen: "If the cooperation goes smoothly, maybe I will come again in the future. I think this way, you come forward to collect the sea goods, and I won't show up. I can't carry so many goods, I'll go out and make a phone call to call a car. This grain is my deposit to you, and I will come back in the evening to settle the rest. What do you think?"
The village chief nodded in agreement. Xu Huizhen instructed: "Put it away in an empty house at the entrance of the village. Don't pass it off as inferior goods, otherwise it will be a one-time deal and there will be no future." The village chief grinned and said: Got it, no!
Xu Huizhen got on her bike and started to shake. She had her space to carry goods, so she didn't need to call a taxi. She just wanted to find an excuse to go into the space to see her child. Alas, it was really inconvenient to carry a little thing.
After a stroll, Xu Huizhen returned to Shawang Village before nightfall. The village chief led him to an empty house and said, "This is the village warehouse. Look, all the goods you want are here. There is absolutely no shortage of weight." Xu Huizhen walked around and saw that the dried seafood was packed in sacks, all open for quality inspection. The fresh seafood was packed in baskets, but they were also frozen hard. They looked fresh and looked good.
I have to say that the village chief is very honest. The fish are all big, the largest one is estimated to be 20 jin, and the smallest one is more than jin. And they are all very fresh. If it were in the future, these seafood would cost dozens of yuan per jin, while grain would only cost three or four yuan per jin. In this era, it is not as expensive as grain. There is no comparison, really no comparison.
Xu Huizhen glanced at the seafood and almost drooled.
The village chief pointed to three baskets nearby and said, "I'll also give you two baskets of mantis shrimps and one basket of razor clams for free."
Xu Huizhen looked at the basket and found it very solid, weighing about 50 jin, and the fish were very big. So she said, "How can I be so embarrassed? Just give it the right price. It's so cold, and it's not easy to go fishing." The village chief smiled and said, "These things are not valuable here, and they are hard to eat, and there is not much meat. This is a little gift from the villagers."
Xu Huizhen had no choice but to take out a bag of candies from her backpack, handed it to the village chief and said, "Then I'll accept it with pleasure. These candies will sweeten the mouths of the children in the village."
The village chief took the candy and smiled happily. He thanked her repeatedly. Xu Huizhen asked, "If I come back in a few days, do you still have the candy?"
Village chief: "Yes, today the villagers are vying to receive their goods. You didn't see the scene, which made me feel very embarrassed. Besides, even if our village doesn't have enough, there are still some in the neighboring village. We are all relatives, so we should help each other, right? Just come and receive them without worry."
Xu Huizhen said, "Then give me your address, and I will write to you in advance before I come next time. In the letter, I will call you aunt and you will be my uncle."
The village chief nodded to show that he understood, and then left his address to Xu Huizhen. The village chief's name was Feng Dahai, and he was afraid that others would not know that he was from the seaside.
Xu Huizhen thought for a moment and then said, "I said in the letter that I want one catty, which means I want 100 catties, and two catties means I want catties. Do you understand what I mean? Let's keep a low profile." The village chief said, "I'll do as you say."
When Xu Huizhen was paying the bill, she said, "Uncle Village Chief, do you want some silver dollars? One silver dollar can be exchanged for one dollar and fifty cents at the bank. I also want to keep some cash in case I need it on the way. As the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich journey, right?"
The village chief said, "Okay, that's fine. I'll ask my son to go to the bank tomorrow." So Xu Huizhen used 10 silver dollars to pay for the goods. She wanted to exchange some of the silver dollars she had, but she didn't dare to exchange too much in one place, so she came up with this idea.
The two chatted for a while, and then Xu Huizhen sent the village chief back. She said, "It's not certain when the car will arrive, and you've been tired all day. Go back and rest early."
The village chief insisted, "I'm here with you, in case you need to load a truck or something."
Xu Huizhen: "There are people loading goods on the car, so you are not needed. It is better not to meet. I am tired from running around today, and I can rest for a while." The village chief had to get up and say goodbye. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask: "Next time you need us, please come to our village."
After the village chief walked away and made sure that there was no one around, Xu Huizhen put all the seafood into the space, then rode her bicycle and left Shawang Village. It was already dark, and she didn't want to rush on the road in the dark, which was unsafe. After a hard time crossing, she still had to cherish her life. She found a forest and entered the space, took a nap first, and then continued on the road tomorrow morning.
Tianjin is close to Sijiucheng, and there is a train to Sijiucheng at 6: in the morning.
Just like that, before noon the next day, Xu Huizhen returned to the courtyard and quietly entered the house through the back door. She immediately went into the cellar and took out the frozen seafood in the space. The temperature in the space was high, and if it thawed, it would not be fresh. After taking it out, I saw that the seafood had been stored in the space for almost 15 hours, and it was still frozen solid. Could it be that the space also has a fresh-keeping function? This space is really awesome. With this golden finger, it is hard not to get rich.
Just set a small goal for yourself, earn 10,000 first. She doesn't have the ambition of Boss Wang in the future, so don't even think about 100 million. In this era, 100 million can scare a baby to death.
When I arrived at the tavern, I saw Cai Quanwu working on his abacus with his head down. When he saw Xu Huizhen, he hurriedly greeted her and said, "Boss, you're back?"
Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It was a smooth trip. Don't go home for lunch. I brought back a lot of seafood. I will cook a seafood feast for you later. When you go to Uncle Niu's house, tell him that I went to Tianjin and brought back a lot of seafood. Ask him to come over for some seafood."
Niu Ye is a respectable person, and he is worth making friends with. In the original plot, he has always had a good relationship with Xu Huizhen's family. After Xu Huizhen came to this world, she was alone and weak, and the only person she could trust was Niu Ye, except Cai Quanwu.
After Cai Quanwu left, Xu Huizhen went to the kitchen. She was so eager to eat seafood that she didn't care about the fatigue of running around. She stewed octopus with Chinese cabbage, steamed sea bass, braised prawns with oil, steamed mantis shrimps directly in the pot, and made a soup with razor clams with original flavor, adding some sesame oil and coriander. After tasting it, it was naturally fresh and there was no comparison. The staple food was rice.
