Chapter 11 I offer two taels of silver
"Dayou, push the boat over there." Lin Chunniang pointed to the water gallery of the restaurant.

However, as soon as the boat approached, the waiter yelled, "What are you doing! Don't park the boat here, blocking the way of our restaurant guests."

Lin Chunniang asked her younger brother to move the boat to a corner, and said to the man with a smile on her face: "Brother, we are here to sell fish..."

The clerk waved his hands repeatedly: "We have a way to purchase goods by ourselves in the building. If we don't buy from retail investors, please leave quickly."

Lin Chunniang said: "Our fish are extraordinary, can you take a look?" She winked at her brother and motioned for him to lift up the big black grass carp.

The guy didn't take it seriously. What kind of unusual fish could these two mud-legged guys catch?
But the next second he was stunned.

Lin Dayou opened the straw mat covering the boat and picked up the big fish strung up with a straw rope. The big fish was as big as an eight or nine-year-old child.

This was the first time he had seen such a big fish, it was indeed extraordinary.

"Just wait, I'll call our shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper of Deyuelou, whose surname is Zhu, lives up to his name, he is white, fat, and as plump as a pig. When he came out and saw the big black fish, his narrowed eyes that were squeezed into a thin line suddenly widened a bit.

Wow, what a big fish!

If you let the chef perform for the guests on the spot, cutting the fish into paper-thin pieces, it will definitely boost the business of the store.

But he said: "Why is this fish so motionless? Is it dead?"

Lin Dayou hurriedly explained: "It's not dead, it's still alive and kicking. I held it down."

He let go of one hand, and the big fish immediately began to shake its head and tail, trying to break away from his hand.

Even though Lin Dayou was strong, he could hardly hold it down.

Shopkeeper Zhu: "Okay, although your fish is big, it is just an ordinary grass carp. Grass carp is cheap, only three cents per catty. How about I pay you two hundred cents for your fish?"

Two hundred articles!
Lin Chunniang and Lin Dayou were both stunned by the price. They weighed the fish before coming here. It weighed a full fifty kilograms and could be sold for 150 Wen according to the market price.

This shopkeeper has fifty more coins!
The two siblings looked at each other, and Lin Chunniang couldn't wait to agree, but before she could say anything, she was covered by a chubby little hand.

The owner of the little hand is Lin Xi.

In fact, she woke up when Lin Chunniang picked her up and knew that she was taken to the town.

That big black fish is not that big. How could it be sold at the price of an ordinary fish?The fat shopkeeper was clearly bullying the Chun Niang siblings for not knowing the market.

Seeing that Lin Chunniang was about to agree, couldn't she quickly cover her mouth?
Her other hand also broke free from the swaddling clothes, spread her fingers, five hundred dollars!No sale below this price!
It's a pity that what she said was: "Oh wow..."

Alas, a toothless person cannot even understand his words.

No one present could tell that Lin Xi was bargaining. A little baby, bargaining?I'm afraid it's not a joke.

However, her interruption bought the other person some time and prevented Lin Chunniang from missing a real opportunity to make money.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, are you willing to pay [-] cash for such a big fish? That's too unkind. I'll pay you [-] cash to sell the fish to me."

The person who came had a square face and an upright figure. He was De Yue Lou’s rival, the chef and owner of Fu Qing Lou, known as Chef Fang.

He went out early in the morning to pick out the ingredients and had almost bought them by now. When he went back, he passed by the back door of Deyue Tower and subconsciously took a look.

The two are competitors in the business world, so he inevitably pays more attention to the other's movements.

When I looked at it, I found that the man named Zhu was buying a big fish.He had only seen that big fish in his life, and all kinds of cooking techniques suddenly came to his mind. He felt itchy and wanted to take the fish back immediately.

Unfortunately, the river was crowded and his boat couldn't cross it for a while. He was afraid that Zhu would buy the fish, but fortunately, the fish seller's mouth was covered by the child in her arms and she didn't agree.

Since the fish hasn't been sold yet, won't his chance come?

Shopkeeper Zhu glared, "Old Fang, you're the one who's unkind, right? I took a fancy to this fish first, and you stepped in and came to snatch it from me. Isn't that justified?"

Chef Fang: "What's wrong with you first? Haven't they sold the fish to you yet? The one with the highest price gets it, right?"

The last sentence was said to Lin Chunniang and her brother.

Lin Chunniang looked hesitant: "This..."

Of course she wanted to sell the fish at a higher price, but she was originally going to sell the fish to Shopkeeper Zhu. It would not be good if she turned around and sold it to someone else for a higher price.

When they went out to do business for the first time, the siblings still adhered to the simple principle of first come, first served, and failed to understand the true meaning of "no business without evil".

How could Shopkeeper Zhu watch the big fish he was about to catch disappear?
Mapo Town is so big and the passenger flow is limited. The business of Deyuelou and Fuqinglou is going up and down. If Fuqinglou takes away the big fish and the business is good, then the business of Deyuelou will be bad. Yet?
If things continue like this, he may not be able to survive in the town anymore and will have to pack up and go home to farm.

He was cruel and increased the price: "I'll pay 320 yuan!"

When he gets this big fish, he will spread the news, which will surely attract the gourmets to come and taste it. By then the gimmick is enough, and the money he earns will be at least ten times or a hundred times the money he paid to buy the fish.

It's a pity that Chef Fang won't let him get his wish, and said leisurely: "I will pay four hundred coins."

Four hundred texts!
Lin Chunniang's hands were shaking with excitement.

Lin Dayou hugged the fish tightly in his arms.

This is four hundred cents!
If he let the fish escape, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
Lin Xi clapped her hands with her little hands, as if to cheer them on, harder, harder.

The commotion here attracted the attention of many people. When they found out that Deyuelou and Fuqinglou were fighting for a big fish, everyone watched the excitement with great interest. Some people even joined in despite not thinking it was a big deal. Bid.

"430 words!"

"Five hundred words!"

The price of big fish is rising steadily, and it has turned into a small-scale auction.

Lin Chunniang's breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and Lin Xi, who was tied to her chest, felt her drum-like heartbeat.

A awning boat came over, and there were two young men, one tall and one short, sitting on the boat. They were cousins ​​Song Xingyi and Lin Wushang.

Song Xingyi fulfilled his promise and took his little cousin to Deyuelou to eat elbow meat.

Unexpectedly, when I reached the door, I found many people gathered around, and from time to time someone shouted the price.

What is this doing?
Song Xingyi relied on his agility to jump from his own boat to someone else's boat, squeezing his way to the front.

"Ah! What a big fish!"

When he found out that those who were bidding were all bidding for this big fish, he suddenly became interested and said, "Two taels of silver!"

As soon as his bidding came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was a little shocked by the price.
