"Grandpa, why don't you accompany me to sell eels~!" I got up very early this morning.
I poured out all the rice field eels in the two dung buckets, and put them all in the rice field eels.
"How many eels are there?" Grandpa looked at my busy figure and asked.
"You can help me weigh it!" I struggled to carry the rice field eel.
Grandpa fetched a small scale from behind, took over the rice field eel, hung it up and started weighing.
"Oh, nine catties and seven taels, the difference is thirty or twenty catties!"
More than nine catties, excluding rice field eels, it should weigh eight catties, right?
"Well, because I want to sell it. If I raise it for too long, I'm afraid it will die!" Where can I sell it? I can't make up my mind.
"Is there anyone on Baima and Liaojia Street that collects eels?" I asked uncertainly.
I don't know where there is a rice field eel harvester. To be honest, it is entirely up to grandpa to make up his mind this time. I don't know if we are going to make a decision! We are just kids.
"Why don't you go to Chongqing County to sell them? There are a lot of rice field eels there, so they can be sold at a good price!"
"good!"
After confirming, we have a hasty breakfast and are ready to go.
My grandpa and I pushed a bicycle alone, tied the rice paddy to the back seat of grandpa's big bicycle, and got ready to go!
"I'll go ahead and you will stay behind. If you see the eel running out or if there is a situation, you should call me in time. If you go ahead, you won't be able to see it."
After I agreed, I rushed to Chongzhou with my grandpa under grandma's worried eyes.
Our home is only more than ten kilometers away from Chongzhou, and it takes at least an hour to ride a bicycle.
Just like that, our grandpa and grandson drove to Chongzhou with about eight catties of eels on their backs.
After riding for about 40 minutes, I finally came to the edge of Chongzhou City.
Grandpa stopped the bicycle and said, "Let's take a rest first!"
He took down the rice field eel and asked me to put the rice field eel deep into the ditch next to it, so that the rice field eel could absorb some water and prevent it from drying out.
I was holding the eel, with my legs spread apart, standing by the side of the ditch, and stretching the eel into the water. As the eel gradually sank into the water, I was extremely nervous. I was afraid that the eel would run away. He was also afraid that he would let go of his hand and fall down.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
After they are all in the water, the foam slowly seeps out through the rice field eel. These eels are indeed thirsty.
After soaking for about five minutes, I lifted the rice paddle at the signal of my grandpa and tied it to the bicycle again.
Continue to go!
"Grandpa, do you know which street is collecting eels?"
"I heard that there are both Dadong Street and Xiaodong Street! I heard that the price on Xiaodong Street is relatively high. Let me take you there to have a look!"
So I set off to Xiaodong Street with my grandfather, and went around along the edge of Yue'er Lake.
"Boss, do you accept eels?" Grandpa asked when he came to a fish seller.
"Take it, do you have a lot?" The boss got up and walked over.
"Look, seven or eight catties, all of which were taken by my grandson himself, and some were dug by him." Grandpa said with a smile.
The boss came over and stared at the rice paddies for a while, "You're such a good rice paddy guy, now many people don't see this kind of benefits anymore."
"Well, I'll give you six yuan and five dollars!" The benevolent boss took out a cigarette and handed one to grandpa.
Grandpa turned around and stared at me, "What do you think?"
"No sale below seven yuan!" I told the boss with certainty.
After some haggling, I turned around angrily and motioned for Grandpa to leave here.
The rice field eel that I worked so hard to catch was only seven yuan in the end, and it was not less than one or two rice field eels. Bullying me is a newcomer, right? We are not selling it yet!
"Old man, what did you mention?"
A middle-aged woman, probably in her 30s, asked as soon as she got out of the car.
Grandpa stopped the car and said, "This is the eel my grandson caught!"
The woman glanced at me and seemed quite satisfied with me, "Oh, a wild eel, right?"
"Yes! Wild!" I said with certainty.
"You caught this?" The middle-aged woman stared at me and asked.
"Well, every night I go to take pictures of eels."
"Then how many days have you been catching this rice field eel?"
"These are all the eels I caught this summer, and I caught two.?God! "I thought for a while and said.
The middle-aged woman leaned over and took a look, "Why don't you sell me the rice field eel!"
When I heard it, I felt very funny. Grandpa asked, "How much do you pay for a catty?"
The woman thought about it and said: "Give me eight yuan. Now the market sells seven yuan. I will give you an extra one for you wild ones. Besides, it is not easy for children to catch eels!"
I was very happy when I heard it, it's really good! I thought it would be a big deal if she could give seven yuan, but I didn't expect to sell it for eight yuan.
"Well, let's sell it to you!" Grandpa agreed to the middle-aged woman after I nodded.
"Well, okay, then you come with me! Help me bring the rice field eel to my house."
"How far away?" Grandpa asked vigilantly.
"Just over there, two alleys will arrive"
My grandpa and I pushed our bicycles and followed her. After passing through two alleys, we came to her house.
After entering the door, the middle-aged woman found a large basin and poured out all the rice field eels in the rice field eel basket.
"I can't have a small one!" said the middle-aged woman.
"Okay, you can pick out the little one, and we'll take it back." Grandpa affirmed.
For this kind of situation, I am not very good at it, it is best to have grandpa to handle it.
Those eels that were as thick as a little finger, or even smaller, were picked out one by one and put aside.
After the remaining rice field eels are cleaned, they are weighed, and foreign objects are removed, and there are seven rice field eels.
The middle-aged woman gave me 60 yuan. I happily took the money and asked my grandfather to keep it for me.
"You can still weave the scorpion so beautifully, so leave it to me to fill the rice field eel!" said the middle-aged woman.
"This is not possible. My grandfather compiled this for me after a long time, and I still want to use it to catch eels!" I refused directly.
When middle-aged women saw that there was nothing to do, they stopped insisting.
After selling the rice field eels, bring the rice field eels with you. There are still a dozen small rice field eels left in the rice field eels. Take them home!
60 yuan! This is the first bucket of gold in my life!
All the way back home excitedly, grandpa handed me the money.
"Grandpa, you accompany me so far, you still keep the money!"
"How can I ask for this money? This is the money from your first sale of rice field eels. You can keep it for yourself!" Grandpa gave me the money.
Looking at the 60 yuan in my hand, I was extremely excited. This is my income through my own labor! Although the process is difficult, the time is quite long, and the income is not high.
But it is also a kind of affirmation to me! Affirmation of my ability!
Hope to see more eels! But now that it¡¯s past the Dragon Boat Festival, I wonder if I can get another bundle and sell it for 60 yuan? This 60 is enough for me to eat snacks for several months! I was thinking wildly for a while.
Damn it! How can it be eaten! keep it! Press it under the pillow as a souvenir! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
