Chapter 164: The Conch Girl Can't Blow

Under the guidance of Village Chief Li, Jiang Cheng got in the car and drove to a place similar to an ancestral hall. Then, under the reception of Village Chief Li, he told him about the situation.

It’s not that Jiang Cheng was not allowed to exchange things, it’s mainly because he exchanged the things and drove away, but what would the villagers do?

If Jiang Cheng only found one person to exchange something, everyone would think he was lucky. But many people got the exchange, so what should we do if only a part of them got the exchange?

It is said that what people worry about is not the lack of food but the inequality of food. Kelp and dried fish are nothing to people who live by the sea. But eggs are different, especially for those who come to Jiang Cheng first to exchange. If they exchange more, there will be no eggs for those who come later. People will not report Jiang Cheng. If they do, Jiang Cheng may have left by then.

At that time, those who exchanged things might be reported by other villagers, so after Li Deshun knew the situation, he quickly called people to stop it.

"Master Jiang, it's getting late. If you're not in a hurry to leave, just have a meal here. If you don't mind, you can stay here for one night. Just talk to me about what you want to exchange for the eggs you brought." Li Deshun said.

Hearing this invitation, Jiang Cheng thought about it. He might come to Hucheng often in the future, and Fuzhou Reclamation Farm had to handle a lot of goods every month.

If Jiang Cheng continued to sell fish, he would have enough money. But that would be too tiring. If he could have a long-term cooperation with the chief of this fishing village, he would have more supplies.

He can mainly catch kelp and sea fish, but he cannot explain why he can take out fresh sea fish from inland.

"Thank you, Village Chief Li. Sorry to bother you here today." Jiang Cheng said politely.

When Village Chief Li heard this, he immediately smiled, asked someone to prepare dinner for Jiang Cheng, and then started talking to him.

The main issue was price, and Village Chief Li was blunt, saying that the market price of eggs in Shanghai was seven cents each. Jiang Cheng charged six cents, which really gave them a great bargain.

Village Chief Li was frank, and Jiang Cheng followed suit, saying that the market price in Changcheng was six cents. But whether it was seven cents or six cents, it was hard to buy eggs.

But Jiang Cheng also wanted to say one thing, he was bartering, he couldn't just pay the cheaper price of eggs in Changcheng, while the seafood here was at the high local price, he didn't have other places to exchange.

Jiang Cheng told Village Chief Li that he had previously purchased some kelp and sea fish in Yancheng directly with money, and it was only 2.6 yuan per pound. If the price in Hucheng was a little higher, he could accept it. But if it was too high, he could pay money, but not eggs.

But if you pay, the nature is slightly different, the difference between exchanging and selling. If you exchange things, let alone Jiang Cheng's baskets of eggs, even if it's a full truck, Li Deshun dares to eat them all.

If we really want to exchange goods, if eggs are 6 cents each, it is actually about 60 cents per pound. Even if the seafood in their village is calculated at 26 cents, it is still not a loss.

However, as the village chief, Li Deshunhai has to try his best to fight for the interests of the villagers. After all, this is Shanghai, and many people pass by here on business trips. People often spend money to buy some seafood and leave, and the price is not cheap.

So the final result of the negotiation was that eggs were priced at 65 cents, and the seafood here was priced at 30 cents per pound.

Once the price was agreed upon, Li Deshun arranged for someone to call the village accountant to come over to weigh the eggs Jiang Cheng brought to see how many there were, and then calculate how many eggs each household could exchange for.

If you can't deliver it by 8 pm tonight, you must deliver the seafood stock at home around 6 am tomorrow. The quality must be good, don't send bad ones to fool people. If no one comes to exchange eggs tomorrow morning, let others take over.

With the help of Village Chief Li, Jiang Cheng had no more trouble. The two also reached a verbal agreement that the next time Jiang Cheng brought something here, if he wanted to exchange it for seafood, he could come directly to Li Deshun.

They had dinner here in the evening. At the beginning, Village Chief Li asked him if he liked seafood. Jiang Cheng said he was willing to eat it, so they prepared some seafood that was not expensive at the beach for him to eat.

For example, some shellfish, shrimps, and fresh sea fish. Anyway, it was a seafood feast with some sauces.

This made Jiang Cheng very happy, and Li Deshun liked outsiders like this. They looked like they had never eaten good food, and then they would just be a joke for Li Deshun to tell to the villagers.

Then tell others that the driver from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Changcheng is fine. He came to their Jinshanzui fishing village and made some food that everyone is tired of eating and sent him away.

After dinner, Village Chief Li arranged a room for him to rest.

Jiang Cheng didn't go to bed so early, but played the harmonica outside the house. Unexpectedly, the sound of the harmonica attracted the Conch Girl.

It was not the kind of conch that turned into a girl, but the girl who heard the sound of the harmonica and came over with the conch to play it. It was not just one girl who came, but three girls who heard the sound of the harmonica and came over together.

Drivers who play harmonicas these days are really irresistible to young girls. Music knows no borders and no gender, and Jiang Cheng started to exchange music with several girls.

Jiang Cheng lent the girl his harmonica to play for fun, and the girl taught him to play the conch. Fortunately, the girl was not a conch, otherwise she would have been so stupid.

While they were discussing music, Jiang Cheng returned to the room and brought some wax gourds for them to taste. As expected, the people here had never seen such a fruit before.

When the music exchange was about to end, Jiang Cheng gave the three girls some lotus root starch, and each of the three girls gave Jiang Cheng one or two big and beautiful conches.

At night, the sea breeze in the seaside village was very comfortable, and Jiang Cheng returned to his room to rest.

Have a good night~~.

"Brother, brother, blow it, blow it towards me~~."

"Ah~~No~."

Jiang Cheng sat up suddenly and looked at his crotch. He knew that eating seafood would cause internal heat, but what kind of internal heat would it cause?

It was already daybreak outside, and Jiang Cheng had a ridiculous dream at night. He dreamed of a pure and lustful girl who said she was transformed from a conch.

In the dream, Jiang Chengdu didn't believe that the conch could really turn into a girl, but the conch girl said that if he blew it somewhere it could be blown, it would produce the music of the conch.

Jiang Cheng's old driver's nature was aroused in the dream. Just when he was about to blow the girl, Zhou Lingying's angry figure suddenly appeared. Then Jiang Cheng woke up and the day dawned.

After getting up, Jiang Cheng simply washed up, and then the village chief arranged for someone to come find him and ask him to have breakfast.

Jiang Cheng followed the others and had seafood and porridge early in the morning. He ate it happily. There was nothing he could do. It was really delicious to him.

After breakfast, Village Chief Li took Jiang Cheng to see the goods and weigh them. The village accountant was there, so he could point out any mistakes.

Two hundred kilograms of eggs were exchanged for nearly five hundred kilograms of seafood, and both parties were very happy.

When Jiang Cheng drove away, Village Chief Li gave him a bag of cooked shrimps, which are made from hair shrimps, which are small white shrimps.

This thing is a condiment. Adding a little bit to egg soup can enhance the flavor. It can also be added to stir-fried dishes.

After leaving Jinshanzui fishing village, Jiang Cheng began to head towards Baoshan District of Shanghai.

It was the same urban area where Jiang Cheng delivered raincoats and rubber boots to the military district last time. I can only say that sometimes it is just a coincidence.

Baoshan District is also close to the sea and has a port. Therefore, there is a foreign trade port warehouse there, and the batch of "Dacron" that was not exported was in the Baoshan foreign trade warehouse.

There are several ports in Shanghai, all of which have port warehouses. Regardless of whether the goods are to be exported or shipped back from overseas, if they are not loaded and unloaded immediately, they will be placed in the port warehouses.

All Jiang Cheng had to do was to take the list and go to Changcheng to get the "Dacron" that was transferred from foreign trade to domestic sales. The content was simple. He first took the list to the warehouse management department to register, and then someone would take it over. After the goods were loaded and signed, they could be taken back to Changcheng.

This is also the reason why there is no need to arrange other personnel to follow the vehicle when converting foreign trade to domestic sales orders. The process is very simple.

But since he was in Baoshan District, Jiang Cheng wanted to go to the military district here again. In addition, he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in Shanghai to see if he could get some special products.

 It's a new month, and today I really want to ask for some monthly tickets~~ If you have any, please remember to give them to me, thank you.
