Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Bricklayer Hu was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears.

Three strings of cash is definitely a huge sum of money for many people.

But the boss actually lent it to him.

"Boss... I don't know how to thank you. I'll write you an IOU right now, and the interest will be based on... based on..."

Bricklayer Hu had never borrowed so much money before, and he didn't know how to calculate it for a moment.

"No need. I won't charge you interest on this three guan (approximately 20 liters) but it will be deducted from your wages. Your current wage is wen per day. I'll raise your wages once you have a car to haul goods."

"Yes! Thank you, Boss! You are such a kind person!"

Old Hu bowed repeatedly in excitement. If there was no space on the ox cart, he would have kowtowed to his boss.

Chen Changfan smiled without saying anything. Three strings of cash were nothing to him now.

Hu the roofer had helped many people when he worked for his family before, and he kept them all in mind. He would naturally take care of them if he could.

Moreover, this bricklayer Hu has both bricklaying and carpentry skills, and is a good house builder.

He was not lending money out of charity, as it was equivalent to hiring Hu the bricklayer for a long time.

Because he had a long-term plan in mind and needed construction talents like Hu the bricklayer.

After several people discussed the matter of buying cattle and horses, Aunt Liu, who had been a little uneasy, finally spoke.

"Boss, are we still going to give out free noodles when we buy fish today?"

Although the owner had already made it clear that the snail noodle stall was responsible for its own profits and losses, she only needed to make noodles every day and receive daily wages.

But when she thought about the fact that she didn't earn a penny that day and still had to accept the wages from her employer with a flattering face, she always felt uneasy about taking the money.

"We're trying something different today. We ripped off the Wu Family Fish Market yesterday, so they're probably going to try something different today. The simplest and most straightforward way is for them to copy us. But they don't have snail noodles, so I guess they're probably going to slash prices and offer a buy-one-get-one-free promotion."

"If the price is reduced, it shouldn't be too big, right?" Lao Wei guessed.

Chen Changfan nodded. "The Wu family isn't stupid. They suffered a loss from the price cut yesterday, so they won't reduce it too much. But they want to target us, so I guess their strategy today will probably be three cents a piece, plus buy two get one free."

Aunt Liu pondered for a moment. "Three cents a piece, and buy two get one free...that means three fish for six cents, or two cents a piece. This offer isn't even as good as yesterday's. Is anyone going to buy it?"

"There will be, and there will be quite a few people."

Chen Changfan's words suddenly put some pressure on everyone.

If Wu's fish stall does well, it will inevitably affect his own business.

If we are defeated by the other party today, all the achievements of yesterday will be wasted.

"So what should we do? Should we continue with yesterday's activities?"

At this time, the ox cart was slowly approaching the county town, and the three of them looked at Chen Changfan anxiously and helplessly.

"Don't worry, I have my own way of dealing with it."

Although the boss said he had a way to deal with it, the three of them were still a little unsure.

Presumably, the Wu family must be gearing up to compete with them today, but they are not mentally prepared at all.

However, the uneasiness in the hearts of the three was soon replaced by a feeling of pride.

Because the giant bony fish in the car was so conspicuous, it attracted countless people to watch along the way.

"Nyonya! This fish looks really scary!"

"I've never seen such a big fish in my entire life! How much silver is this fish worth?"

"This fish must weigh at least 100 pounds. How big a fishing rod and net should I use?"

Everyone followed the ox cart and talked a lot. It was obvious that the people in the city had never seen such a lively scene, and soon a large number of onlookers gathered.

Chen Changfan glanced at the crowd around him, stood up and said loudly:

"Fellow villagers, I'm holding an auction today at Chen's Fish Stall. The star of the auction is naturally this precious fish weighing over 100 kilograms. If you're interested, you can come to my Chen's Fish Stall and watch it live!"

auction?

Treasure fish?

The onlookers were immediately intrigued, and many of them followed the ox cart all the way into the market and came to Chen Ji's fish stall.

Qian Fangchang, who was drinking tea in the teahouse on the second floor, saw a large number of people suddenly pouring into the market. He thought someone was going to cause trouble, so he stretched his neck out and saw the huge fish body on the ox cart.

"Isn't this fish really a spirit? Although Chen Erlang may be a bit dull, his fishing skills are truly exceptional..."

He watched from the window for a while and heard Chen Erlang's words clearly.

"Fellow villagers, this giant bony fish is too big to be stewed in one pot, so we decided to auction the fish head and fish meat separately!"

At this moment, many important people were also attracted by this giant bony fish, and they obviously knew how extraordinary this fish was.

Director Qian just took a quick glance and saw several familiar faces.

Shopkeeper Li from Zuixianju, Shopkeeper Fu from Shiweizhai, and even some young men and women from wealthy families came to watch the fun.

Suddenly, a square-faced man caught the eye of Qian Fangchang, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Chai Feng.

He is a descendant of a famous aristocratic family, has a wealthy family background, and has many friends who are outstanding people from all over the world.

It is a relatively transcendent existence in Qingshan County.

Chai Feng had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a full forehead and high bulging temples.

He was guarded by several men beside him. Each of them had a strong aura and was obviously a warrior of high level.

"It's just a big fish, why do we have to separate the head and the meat? Why not auction the whole fish?"

Beside Chai Feng, a dark-skinned warrior suddenly shouted.

Chen Changfan glanced over here and his eyes met Chai Feng's. The other party nodded slightly at him, and he clasped his fists in return.

Judging from the opponent's formation and aura, this person should be a wealthy dog ​​owner.

His eyes swept over to the shopkeeper Li of Zuixianju who was standing nearby.

This guy lied to me at the time, saying he wanted to buy Akabane to take back for viewing, but in reality, he was trying to compete with Shiweizhai...

What a vicious business war!

He gave Shopkeeper Fu a look, meaning that they'd better take the fish head and not let that guy from Zuixianju get it for free.

"To be honest, this giant bony fish is a precious fish that only exists in ancient legends. Its quality is far superior to that of the redtail. Since it is a precious fish, it has many wonderful uses. Let me explain it in detail."

Chen Erlang relied on the records in "Baiweichao" to deceive people, leaving everyone stunned.

"The giant bony fish is a treasure from head to toe. A bite of its flesh can refresh the mind, a meal can cure hidden diseases, and if consumed regularly, it can strengthen bones and muscles and refine the qi and blood."

Hearing this, the big men around Chai Feng suddenly became a little uneasy.

"It's just a big fish, isn't it too outrageous?"

Chai Feng smiled and shook his head, "He's right, this giant bony fish is indeed a precious fish, and eating its meat does have the effect of strengthening bones and muscles."

Chai Feng's knowledge is naturally much higher than these men. He came here this time just for the giant bone fish meat.

“This fish is precious and must be in great demand.

However, the fish head is quite heavy, but it has more bones than meat. It should be delicious when cooked, but it is not worth buying it for tonic.

According to common sense, he should sell the giant bony fish as a whole, and maybe he could get more money that way.

He must be aware of this principle, so he must have some special considerations."

Chai Feng suddenly became curious. He wanted to see how Chen Erlang would auction the fish head for a good price.
