Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 27 My nickname is Hei Kui [Seeking follow-up reading]

But now that things have come to this, what can he do?

They could only watch as Tao Guoqing's subordinate Xiao Wu, holding the fish basket he brought, walked towards the kitchen to catch the fish, chatting and laughing with Liu Qingsong and Liu Lijuan.

Xiao Wu.

Full name Zhao Xiaowu.

Don't look at him as he is only in his early twenties.

But now he is already the purchasing team leader of Huajiao Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Mainly responsible for the unified purchase and sale of various materials of the Huaishu production team.

After he put thirty-seven plump wild mullets into the fish basket in the kitchen, he saw that there was no room for the other fish, so he said to Tao Guoqing who was waiting at the door: "Mr. Tao, I'll bring someone to pick up a big wooden barrel this afternoon to get the rest!"

"These fish are not like the croaker fish. If they die, it will be a big trouble."

"Okay! Okay!" Tao Guoqing nodded.

"Then the price..." Xiao Wu hesitated to speak.

After all, if he said too low a number, it would not be good for Liu Qingsong, and it would make others think that he was bullying them, but if he said too high a number, it would seem unfair to Mr. Tao, so he had no choice but to ask.

"Do you still need to ask me this?" Tao Guoqing suddenly found it funny.

If the purchasing team leader of Huajiao Supply and Marketing Cooperative doesn't know the price of wild catfish, then I'm afraid others don't know even more.

"Okay!" Zhao Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and was about to name a fair price, but Wang Xiaohe suddenly stood up and said, "Wild tilapia is harmful to fish, and is not worth much at all. When there are a lot of them in the market, you can buy them for five or six cents per pound, so Xiaowu, you can give it to Liu Qingsong at six cents per pound."

"As for grass carp, the supply and marketing cooperative sells it for 1.8 yuan..."

The words were not finished.

Liu Qingsong interrupted him angrily: "Shut up, a pound of wild croaker is only six cents per pound at the market? You are probably still asleep!"

"How about this! Let's not waste time talking. Wild croakers are about one pound each and they cost ten cents per pound. How about I take as many as you have?"

"I...I..." Wang Xiaohe was so shocked that he didn't dare to say anything.

As for the reason, it turned out that the wild carp he mentioned just now was six cents per pound, which was about one or two ounces in size and was the most common small wild carp.

If it is more than two taels, the price in the market or vegetable market will be doubled, which is about one or two cents.

The price of wild carp weighing about 300 to 500 grams is doubled to around 0.2 yuan because it is relatively rare. Sometimes it is even more expensive than grass carp.

As for the wild croaker weighing about one kilogram, which is the kind Liu Qingsong has caught now, it is a priceless fish. Even though it is a harmful fish in today's era, its price is comparable to pork.

No! Pork can be bought with money and coupons, but a pound of delicious wild croaker that has lived in the river for nearly ten years is hard to come by in the entire Songmu Commune. Sometimes you can buy it even if you have money.

In other words.

Wang Xiaohe asked Xiao Wu to buy the wild carp caught by Liu Qingsong for six cents per pound, and the fish weighed about one pound. This is simply nonsense and shameless.

Tao Guoqing also discovered this.

While frowning, he couldn't help but scold Wang Xiaohe: "I asked Xiao Wu to buy the wild croaker that Xiao Liu caught. The price is none of your business. If you are really bored, you should go find your eldest brother to deal with the autumn hunting! Don't make trouble here."

"Okay!" Wang Xiaohe smiled awkwardly, but although he agreed verbally, he did not leave. He stood aside and watched shamelessly.

Tao Guoqing didn't care about Wang Xiaohe, but said to Xiao Wu in a friendly manner: "You can buy these wild croakers that Xiao Liu caught at 50 cents each, and put it in my account when the time comes."

"Do you think the price is reasonable?" After a pause, Tao Guoqing asked Liu Qingsong again.

"That makes sense." Liu Qingsong nodded and replied.

He caught wild carp.

In fact, most of them weigh around 70 to 80 taels.

There are only seven or eight fish weighing more than one kilogram, and some even weigh only half a kilogram. Under such circumstances, according to the market price in 1977 or 1978, fifty cents per fish is not only reasonable but also fair.

"No..." Wang Xiaohe's eyes widened when he heard that.

Did something go wrong?
Fifty cents for a wild carp?

That’s almost enough to buy a pound of pork!
Liu Qingsong was really lucky today, meeting a sucker like Tao Guoqing. If it were any other time, he would probably get only 27 or 8 cents per pound at most.

"If it's reasonable, then you pay!" Tao Guoqing said to Xiao Wu.

"Okay! Okay! There were 37 fish just now. If we calculate it based on 50 cents per fish, that's 18.5 yuan, right?" Xiao Wu took out a stack of money and looked at Liu Qingsong. "Yes! Yes!" Liu Qingsong nodded.

Xiao Wu counted out eighteen dollars and fifty cents and handed it to Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong didn't take it, but pointed at Liu Lijuan and said, "Give the money to my second sister! She is the head of the family, not me."

This is not because I am afraid of my second sister, but because I have unconditional trust in her.

"Okay!" Xiao Wu smiled and did as he was told.

Liu Lijuan took the money and glanced at Liu Qingsong. After counting the amount to confirm it was correct, she said, "Eighteen dollars and fifty cents is right."

"That's right, keep it. I'll pay you for the other fish when I come over in the afternoon." Xiao Wu replied softly.

"That's fine." Liu Lijuan happily took the money.

With this money, she no longer has to worry about her younger brother and sister-in-law going hungry for the time being, nor does she have to worry about being strangled by Wang Xiaohe and Zhong Xinbing. The thought of it makes her happy.

Wang Xiaohe looked at Liu Lijuan and his mouth twitched, feeling uncomfortable.

But he remained silent and dared not say anything more.

Because he knew very well that it would be useless to say more at this time.

We can only wait until Tao Guoqing and Zhao Xiaowu leave.

Only then can he cause trouble for Liu Qingsong and Liu Lijuan.

Otherwise, he will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohe even helped to lift the tilapia in the fish basket: "Mr. Tao, let's go! Let's try to go back as soon as possible, otherwise the wild tilapia will become smelly if it leaves the water."

"Okay!" Tao Guoqing said as he looked around, and saw that his little rascal had disappeared while they were talking, so he had to quickly walk towards the backyard following the sound of Xiao Nuomi's playing.

Wang Xiaohe had no choice but to follow behind with the wild carp in the fish basket.

Liu Qingsong and Liu Lijuan looked at each other and followed closely.

In the backyard, Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, and Xiao Taoqi were chasing the puppy and playing with it, and they were all sweating profusely.

When the little naughty boy saw Liu Qingsong coming over, he raised his little head and asked, "Brother, what's the name of your dog?"

Yaomei and Xiao Nuomi also looked at Liu Qingsong.

After all until now.

The puppy doesn’t have a name yet.

"Well... this..." Liu Qingsong hesitated for a moment before replying teasingly: "Its name is Wuheikui. If you like, you can call him Xiaoheikui."

"Little Heikui???" The naughty boy scratched his head.

Yaomei and Xiao Nuomi were also a little confused.

What kind of puppy has such a name?
Shouldn’t he be called Heihu or Laifu, a nicer name?
Just when he was about to ask the reason, Wang Xiaohe suddenly got angry with a dark face: "Liu Qingsong, what do you mean? Are you trying to pick a fight on purpose?"

"Do I have it?" Liu Qingsong spread his hands.

"You bastard, do you know the answer?" Wang Xiaohe was so angry that he cursed: "Everyone knows that my nickname is Hei Kui, and now you name the puppy Xiao Hei Kui, isn't that an insult?"

After Xiao Wu understood, he was stunned and turned his head to the side while trying not to laugh.

Tao Guoqing also couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, and Xiao Taoqi chasing the puppy and calling it "Xiao Heikui", he coughed and said to Liu Qingsong: "Xiao Liu, please give me some face and don't name the dog Xiao Heikui. After all, Xiao Wang is the captain of the Huaishu team. It will have a bad influence if he has the same name as the dog."
