Selling Fish and Eggs at the Market!
"Time to go home…Time to eat fish…"
Ling Ling's face was full of excitement.
Ye Fan said,"Eat fish…I'll make fish soup in the morning and stew fish in the afternoon. Lingling…I'll buy you White Rabbit Creamy Candy later!"”
Suddenly, Ye Fan remembered Ling Ling's words.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
He didn't blame Ms. Song. After all, their living conditions weren't good. He couldn't give candy to others. However, Ling Ling's situation made his heart ache.
He wanted to buy candy for Lingling.
"Lingling, are we going home? Let's go to the market and see if we can sell the fish for some money!”
"Ah?"
Ling Ling didn't understand.
If this fish was edible, why would he sell it?
However, she was very obedient and did not ask anything. Instead, she followed her brother to the market.
Currently, the largest market in the city was the Chaoyang Market. However, it was too far away for them to walk. There was a small market near the courtyard house.
However, there was a problem. All goods and materials were now state-owned. The common people were not allowed to sell things privately. If they were caught, they would be labeled as capitalists.
But in reality, it was not that serious.
The commoners needed supplies, and bartering happened from time to time.
They would turn a blind eye to private transactions.
No one really cared.
After all, who wouldn't go out and buy something?
The other way was to sell it directly to state-owned stores. It would not be a problem if they did not sell it to ordinary people.
Ye Fan carried the fish to the market.
The market was not big, but it was very lively.
"Wow…such a big fish?”
"This is at least ten catties, right?"
"Not necessarily ten catties, but there are seven or eight catties!”
"Oh my god, if this fish is marinated, I can eat it for half a year…Where did this child get such a big fish?”
"This fish is really too fat!"
"Sigh…Little friend, give me this fish and I'll give you two eggs, okay?”
"I'll give you fifty cents!"
Many people liked to take advantage of others. Seeing that Ye Fan was a child, they all wanted to try their luck.
Ye Fan smiled disdainfully.
And!
Bully a child?
He directly carried the fish to a stall that sold fish.
There was no fish as big as him in the entire fish stall.
" Comrade..." Ye Fan walked in front of the salesperson and whispered,""My dad caught a big fish in the wild, and we can't finish it at home. I want to exchange it for some money, okay?”
"Yo…"
The salesperson was a middle-aged woman in her forties. When she saw the big fish in Ye Fan's hand, she said in shock,"It's so big, it must be about seven to eight pounds…Come, come…Let me weigh it for you!”
After weighing it, it weighed more than eight catties!
Nearly nine pounds!
"We sell fish here for 30 cents per catty!”The auntie said," You don't even have 1.5 kilograms. I'll give you 1.5 kilograms. It's 2.70 yuan. What do you think?"”
Ye Fan actually knew the price.
The fish was indeed three cents per catty.
However, the problem was that his fish was bigger. The bigger the fish was, the higher the price would be.
If he really sold it, it would definitely be more than three cents.
However, Ye Fan also knew that others also had to earn money.
After this auntie collected the fish, she would be able to earn a few cents by reselling it.
Otherwise, wouldn't they have worked for nothing?
" Deal..." Ye Fan said," Give me the money!"”
The auntie ordered 2.70 yuan for Ye Fan and also gave him nine pounds of meat.
This made Ye Fan extremely happy.
He didn't expect that this thing could be used as a hostage.
A hostage!
Not only could they buy fish, but they could also buy pork, mutton, and beef!
Hey!
I'm in luck!
"Comrade, do you want eggs?”Ye Fan's eyes rolled.
The auntie's eyes lit up when she heard that."You still have eggs?"
Unlike fish, eggs were in high demand.
There were many sources of fish. They could be caught in rivers, lakes, and the sea.
However, eggs were different. There were few sources of eggs. In this era, people did not eat them. Who would go back to feed chickens?
Moreover, eggs were quickly consumed.
Everyone liked it.
Especially when some factory units entertained their leaders, eggs were an essential dish.
" Yes…My mom fed two hens, and she can't bear to eat the eggs that are usually laid…"
"Come, come, come. Let's talk inside…"
The eldest sister immediately pulled Ye Fan into the shop and even closed the door. She said,"I'll give you five cents for one. How many do you have?”
Ye Fan took off his school bag and opened it. It was white.
"I have sixty here!"
He had no choice. The bag was only this big.
It couldn't hold too much.
"Alright!" "Sixty, I'll give you three yuan…and another ten catties of meat, okay?"”
"I don't want any hostages!" "I want a small department store ticket!" Ye Fan said.”
He already had nine pounds of meat, so he didn't need it.
However, he still needed it when he bought a small department store.
"That works too!"
The salesperson happily gave him the money and tickets and said,"Little guy, if you have eggs in the future, come to me again. I'll give you a fair price!”
That's right!
The market price of an egg was five cents.
But this thing…
Haha…
It could be resold.
Those big factories were busy purchasing goods, plundering everywhere and buying them at high prices.
Sometimes, they could even offer up to 80% or even 10%.
However, this was a situation that could only be encountered by luck.
Anyway, with the means of the salesperson, it was not a problem to buy it for seven cents. He could earn more than one yuan with a resell.
"Alright!" "I'll get my dad to look for you in the future…My dad has connections. His name is Ye Huihuang. Do you know him?"”
"Ah?"
"Ye Huihuang…indeed…has some connections!"”
Although Ye Huihuang's interpersonal relationships in the Council were not that good, his name was still well-known in the entire 49 City.
After all, he was a street punk.
If there were any connections, only this kind of people had the most connections.
Of course, after Ye Fan said his father's name, he also stopped the salesperson in front of him from having any improper thoughts.
Some things, it was better to be prepared, right?
"Let's go!"
Ye Fan pulled the girl away from the fish stall and walked to other places in the market.
