Su Bai and Er Gouzi made their first deal.

I saw the bills in Ergouzi's hand.

Good guy.

At this moment, everyone was looking this way.

Someone came ashore from the field, pulled a handful of grass, wiped it on the mud legs, and walked towards Su Bai curiously.

"Collecting eels? Real or fake? How much does it cost per catty?"

Su Bai was taking a spoon to scoop water from the ditch and put it into the basket. When he heard someone asking, he raised his head and grinned at the person.

"Uncle, yes, we collect eels for 60 cents per catty. You can pay as much as you want! Pay in cash!"

After hearing this, the man immediately became interested.

He turned back and glanced at Ergou, who had taken the money and happily returned to his field.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Yes! There are a lot of them in the fields. Just wait here and I'll catch them now!"

With that said, the man hummed and continued to go down to the field.

Su Bai was not in a hurry.

When an outsider enters the village, gaining trust is the first step, and the next step is serious acquisition.

This is a matter of starting slowly.

More and more will follow.

Su Bai was indeed right.

After the farmer went to his field to catch three kilograms of eels with his wife, he actually got one yuan and eighty cents from Su Bai.

It's hot, it's true!

The villagers in Shuiwa Village are poorer than those in Xiangzhang Village.

It’s not easy to go to the town!

Every time the pigs are killed during festivals, the family will make money.

In daily life, eggs are often used even in the circulation of goods!

God knows how happy I am now that I got the money!

Farming? !

When can this field not be planted?

Today we have to catch eels together as a family and sell them!

then.

After collecting several kilograms of eel one after another, the villagers of Shuiwa Village who had been watching finally understood.

Su Bai is serious.

A pound of eel costs six cents.

That’s real money!

"Come! I have five pounds here!"

"Oh! Hurry up, sell these three kilograms first! Then I'll catch them! Brat, what else are you playing with? Hurry up and catch the eels!"

"Zhang Gouzi, please don't come to my field! If you dare to touch my eel, don't blame me for being anxious with you!"

……

The sun sets in the west.

When the sky gradually darkened, Su Bai finally filled eight baskets.

The market is much tighter than I thought.

He temporarily asked people from Shuiwa Village to help buy four baskets and a donkey cart.

Otherwise, it will definitely not fit.

It cost another ninety bucks here.

But it's all worth it.

Su Bai hired a villager from Shuiwa Village to help him drive home.

Gave him a dollar.

It's only half an hour's journey.

Not far away.

When the two donkey carts arrived at the door of the house, in the dark village, only my own family had lights on.

Su Bai jumped off the donkey cart, paid the man, and then walked over, ready to knock on the door.

"squeak~"

However, before he reached out to knock on the door, he heard the door open.

Under the dark night, with the moonlight and a little light.

It was Lu Miaozhu's plain and beautiful face.

There was obvious worry in her eyes.

After seeing Su Bai, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back."

she whispered.

Su Bai nodded and pointed to the donkey cart outside.

"There are so many eels in Shuiwa Village that I was surprised. I bought another donkey cart."

Su Bai led the two donkeys into his yard and tied them up.

Then spread all the eels in large and small baskets evenly into other containers.

He was afraid of suffocation.

Otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses.

"I left some rice for you in the pot, do you want to eat it now?"

Lu Miaozhu asked.

"I have something to do. I have to go out and eat when I come back."

Su Bai said: "I have to drive the donkey cart to the county town early tomorrow morning. I can't drive two carts by myself. This is a technical job. I need to find someone who knows how to do it. I'll go say hello to Uncle Zhang at the head of the village. Let’s see if he can make time tomorrow.”

Uncle Zhang at the head of the village used to be responsible for taking care of livestock in the commune.

Donkeys, cattle, sheep and the like.

He's very good at it.

It was already difficult for Su Bai to drive a donkey by himself.

If it happens again, I probably won't even be able to get out of the house.

Lu Miaozhu frowned.

"Okay, go quickly and be careful on the road."

Su Bai nodded and was about to leave.

Lu Miaozhu quickly called him out again.

"Hold the kerosene lamp!"

Su Bai took it and told her to go to bed early, then took the kerosene lamp and went to Uncle Zhang's house at the end of the village.

Lu Miaozhu looked at the various pots and pots in the room.

Taking another look at the dark sky, I felt a little worried.

This year.

It's really unsafe.

Especially since we entered the market economy and every household can start doing business, we have always heard all kinds of news.

Actually.

Lu Miaozhu's worries are indeed correct.

Let’s talk about when the country is most wild and open.

It has to be of this era.

We have just left the planned economy and entered the market economy.

This is an age where everything is still being explored.

Some brave people started to buy and sell to make a fortune, but they were targeted by road bullies and village bullies.

These days, there is no Skynet or any powerful investigative methods.

How many people died, but as long as the body cannot be found, it cannot be considered a homicide.

Robbery, murder and hustling.

Focus specifically on the rich.

Isn’t this faster than making money from doing business?

This is why Su Bai tries not to reveal his wealth.

Even now that he has been in business, people in the village only know that he made money by selling eels, but no one knows the specific amount.

When Lu Miaozhu followed Su Bai to the county town, he heard a few things about this on the radio.

Although that all happened around provincial capitals and metropolitan areas.

It was still far away from their small rural town.

but.

How could she feel relieved?

The moonlight is bright.

Her heart was so heavy that she couldn't see the bottom.

........................

Su Bai and Lao Zhang reached an agreement and paid five yuan for a trip.

Lao Zhangtou is old and can't bear to go to the fields, but he can still drive the donkey cart.

Five yuan is enough for one month’s living expenses!

Su Bai paid the money in advance, agreed on a time with him, and then walked back with a kerosene lamp.

however.

The kerosene lamp was still filled with kerosene last time.

During this period, I often use it at night, but Su Bai forgot to buy it again.

Now, halfway through, the kerosene lamp went completely dark.

But Su Bai wasn't afraid.

There is still some moonlight at this moment, which is bright.

Although there was chaos in the 1980s, there were no cases of robbery or murder in the nearby villages around Xiangzhang Village.

Su Bai held the kerosene lamp and walked back quickly.

From the end of the village to my home, I walked faster and came back in ten minutes.

These days, there is no accurate timekeeping.

Su Bai could only make a rough estimate by looking at the position of the moon.

About nine o'clock.

It's not too late.

Go back and have a meal, wash up briefly, and get up as soon as the rooster crows tomorrow morning.

Su Bai was thinking in his mind.

Already reached the door of the house.

Before he left, he specifically asked Lu Miaozhu not to lock the door.

Now with a slight push, the door creaked and opened.

The yard was dark.

Quietly.
