Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 11 The Crab Collection
Huo Xi and Yang Fu returned to the ferry in the outer city, where her small black-covered boat parked quietly.

Seeing it from a distance, Huo Xi's heart was extremely warm.

"Father, mother, have you been waiting long?"

"No, no, Dad happened to go nearby to buy two loads of water, and exchanged a basket of vegetables with someone."

"Then I will eat vegetables tonight, and I don't want to eat salted fish anymore." Yang Fu let out a sigh of relief.Although there is no oil star in vegetables, it is better than eating dried fish and pickles for three meals a day.

Yang came out with Huo Nian in her arms, and patted him: "Many people want to eat dried fish but they can't eat it. You still have to choose! These few days you have nothing to eat."

"What's wrong?" Yang Fu asked.Huo Xi also looked over.

"Your brother-in-law sold all the dried fish stored in our family to the village. Empty it."

"Huh? Someone buys it? How much can it sell for?"

"How come no one buys it! You think it's easy for farmers without boats to eat a piece of fish? Besides, the dried salted fish comes with salt. Your brother-in-law exchanged half a tael of silver and half a bag of coarse grains."

"Half taels of silver? That's a lot. But..."

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, your daughter, Xi'er spent nearly half a tael of silver today, and my brother-in-law's dried fish, it's just a waste of time, and I didn't even hear it."

Yang opened her mouth in surprise.

Huo Erhuai looked at Huo Xi, who was bowing his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, how can I save money. There is no good thing that the sky is falling into the sky these days."

After speaking, he patted Huo Xi's head and comforted her.Thought that the uncle and nephew had just gone for nothing today, although they felt sorry for the money, they also knew that the child was not wasting it.

Yang came back to her senses, pulled Huo Xi over, and wiped her black face with her hands: "Why did you paint it like this? Why don't you let your father do it next time."

Huo Xi raised her face and asked Yang to wipe it, and Chao Nian'er pretended to put a bad face on him, but Nian'er hid back in disgust, Yang Fu made a face at him, making Nian'er laugh out loud.

Yang Fu said to Yang Shi: "Sister, brother-in-law is not as good as Xi'er. You don't know how powerful Xi'er is today, wandering around the city, it's like going back to your own home. You have placed a lot of orders for our family!"

"Really?" Yang was so happy that she raised her voice.

Huo Erhuai walked to the stern of the boat, and while shaking the sculls to let the boat leave the ferry, he listened with his ears up.

Yang Fu started blah blah.After listening to Yang, she forgot to close her mouth.

"Order from 38 companies? Do you want chrysanthemums?" One family has half a basket and one basket, so how many crabs do they need!

Looking at Huo Xi was like looking at a golden doll.

After another thought, the harvest is [-]% higher than the market price. Can this make money?If you can't sell it, you will receive more and pay more... Hey, I can't think about it, my heart hurts.

Huo Xi listened to Yang Fu's report while cleansing her face. Seeing that Yang's face alternated between joy and sorrow, she knew it in her heart, but she didn't explain it.

"Mom, did you get any crabs today?"

"That's not true, but your father caught half of the crab pot. Your father hung it outside the hull and hung it in the water. You can go and see it later, if you don't need it."

"Okay." Huo Xi was overjoyed after hearing this, and then looked at Huo Erhuai, "Father, have you collected some baskets?"

"Yes, I've collected about ten of them, big and small. There's no place to put them on the boat. If there's not enough, Dad will buy them tomorrow. I've already agreed with others."

"That's good."

Huo Erhuai turned the boat back to the waters where it docked at night.

"Are you back? You guys came back late today, and you'll have to cook dinner in the dark later." From far away, Qian Sanduo's voice came loudly.

Huo Xi and Yang Fu went out to say hello. From this point of view, her family was the last one to return. Almost all of the twenty or so family members who usually stopped by had returned.

"We had dinner along the way. Did Brother Qian catch any crabs today?" Yang Fu raised his voice to Qian Sanduo and asked.

"Is it really worth it?"

"Take it. Are you still afraid that we will cheat you? We have changed a box of copper coins, can you not accept it?"

Qian Sanduo breathed a sigh of relief.

When selling fish today, he deliberately kept the crabs, and also asked about the price, which was slightly higher than the previous day.If the Huo family doesn't accept it, it will be a waste if they let it go.

Just as he was about to call his son, he saw Qian Xiaoxia had lifted the crab cage out of the water, dripping water.

As soon as the Huo family parked the boat, Qian Xiaoxia jumped to the stern of Uncle Yu's boat next to the Huo family with the crab pot in his hand, and jumped onto the Huo family's boat with another jump.

"Huo Xi, let's see, how much can I pay for these?"

Qian Sanduo shook his head and laughed, stood on the bow of his own boat and stretched his neck to look towards Huo's house.

Yang Fu dumped the crabs from the Qian family's crab cage into his own fishing basket, and Huo Xi squatted in front of the fishing basket and pulled them.

"You can be big or small, you can't pay the same price."

"What, you don't want the small one?" Qian Xiaoxia was a little anxious.

"Yes. It's just a big price, and a small price."

"Everyone is so familiar, you can't kill them. My father and I went to sell fish today, and I know the price of crabs." You can't cheat me.

Yang Fu pushed him, almost knocked him down, and glared at him: "We're so familiar, do you think of us like that? Xi'er won't cheat!"

Huo Xi also went to the fish market today, and she knows the price of crabs.In a few days it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and the price of crabs changes every day, which is already more expensive than meat.

"Twenty taels to four taels, twenty Wen, four taels up, thirty Wen, six taels up, negotiate the price separately."

"A pound?"

"One", Huo Xi looked at the many small crabs in the basket, and said again: "Under two taels, fifteen cents a catty."

"What?" Not only Qian Xiaoxia was stunned, but Yang Fu was also stunned.

A catty of big white meat, sizzling with oil, is only twenty yuan a catty. This green shell crab has no meat when it is dug out, so expensive?

Huo Erhuai tied up the boat and stowed the oar boards before reaching the bow, he was also stunned when he heard it.

He didn't go to sell fish today, and he hadn't caught crabs for a long time, and he didn't know the price of crabs for more than half a month.Is this crab more expensive than meat?
Yang's hand holding Huo Nian was tight, and Huo Nian's little finger pointed at the crab that was crawling around in the basket and wanted to escape.

"You can't, this General Qing Ke can bite people. Biting Nian'er, it hurts." Yang threatened him.

When Huo Nian heard this, his little hands shrank back in fear.But she didn't want to go back to the cabin, so Yang stood holding him and watching.

"For this price, if your family is willing, you can sell it to us. If you don't want it, you can keep it and sell it in the city." Huo Xi pulled the crabs that were crawling out again.

"Sell, sell. This price is fair. Our family will sell to Xiao Huo Xi." Qian Sanduo stood on the bow and raised his voice.

Good guy, don't go fishing tomorrow, just search for crab nests, take advantage of the high price of crabs these days, let's catch more crabs for money.

There were a few people nearby who were watching the excitement, and they responded one after another, and went back to pick up their own crab pots.

Qian Xiaoxia came back to his senses, and he and Yang Fu pulled their own crabs, ready to say, "Your family's harvest is more expensive than the market price, can this be sold?"

Yang Fu was also a little worried, but looking at the calm Huo Xi, he straightened his chest again: "That's my family's business, why don't you worry about it?"

"You bastard! I'm afraid that your family will not be able to eat at that time, so you have to come to my house to play the autumn wind."

whispering sound.

Yang Fu didn't bother to talk to him, so he divided the Qian family's crabs into several groups, and weighed them with Huo Xishang.

　Good guy, I went back to the community last night and almost couldn't get in.Sealed several buildings in the front row, and then sealed the doorway adjacent to mine.Damn, the prevention and control line almost reached the doorway where I live.If the whole community is sealed off, you really can't get in, and you don't bring anything, which is very dangerous.Everyone should pay attention to safety~
