Chapter 27 Eat Home
As the old man collected money on this order, more fish were bought. Most of them came out to work out or went out to buy vegetables. It can be seen that the old man is quite famous in the yard, especially those who stopped to buy fish, who would say hello to him. Lin Tao also knew that the old man's fish surnamed Pan was picked aside and did not rush to deliver it. This is because there were too many fish buyers. If Baomin and Lin Hai went upstairs, they would not have time to call him fish.
The old man was not in a hurry, and complained to Lin Tao while responding to hello to others: "Your fish is not expensive. It would be great if you could just peel the fish like in the market."
"That won't happen." Lin Tao said with a smile: "This fish is going to the market. Big crucian carp doesn't want you to have 15 yuan per kilogram? We are cheaper, so we save labor."
"I can't eat it even if I'm fifteen!" Old Pan said honestly: "The fish raised in the fish ponds these days are too unstewed and not delicious. Fish like you are good, but they don't come often. I'll freeze this bucket in the freezer and can eat it for the New Year... Let those people envy me!"
Lin Tao saw that there were many people buying fish, and while calculating the accounts, he said, "Four kilograms and two hundred grams...that is 33.6 yuan, plucked, 50 yuan, and you will be charged, and you will be given seventeen yuan...and you will be given money. Mr. Pan, look at this situation, we will come again in two days!"
Lin Tao also underestimated the consumption capacity of the people in this community and their enthusiasm for wild fish. Looking at this, 400 kilograms of fish were sold out in less than a day.
Seeing that everyone else was busy, Old Pan looked into the car and wanted to see what else was there. He saw Lin Guodong sorting out the morels and Codonopsis in his bag. He was stunned for a moment, pointed at the morels and asked, "Is this sold? And this... good guy! Such a big Codonopsis!"
Lin Tao turned his head and took a look, before Lin Guodong could speak, he snatched it: "No, it's my dad took it back to his hometown!"
"Is this from Tianshan?" Lao Pan asked with some regret: "This year's new product?"
"Well, I collected it in the mountains two days ago." Lin Tao said: "Do you always know each other?"
"I know so well!" Old Pan said, "This thing is a high-end and good product! It's hard to come by! My son opened a restaurant with a limited supply of mountain delicacies. One of them is stewed with morels. Unfortunately, there are not many things in the mountains. The goods passed by Zhaosu every year are limited. This thing is a good thing!... Didn't it come from the south, right?"
"How could we eat at home? How could we travel from Yunnan or Sichuan to enter this thing from thousands of miles away?" Lin Tao waved his hand: "I eat at home."
"Is there still many?" The old man was a little unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "That big Codonopsis should also be from the mountains, right? I think you have a lot of them, so I can sell me two? One is OK! Five hundred yuan!"
Before Lin Tao could speak, Lin Guodong took out one and handed it over and said, "Uncle, you bought some fish and sold one of them! This morel was for the old man home, so it was uneven for you. You are looking for this kid, my son, graduated from Bayi Agricultural College, and there are still a lot at home. Please buy it with him!"
Lin Tao didn't expect his father to sell himself thoroughly, but it can be seen that Lao Pan is a veterinarian and knows how to sell these things to such people. Otherwise, you just want to pull someone on the street and tell him that the morels are 1,000 yuan per kilogram, and it would be strange if that person doesn't call you an idiot!
Old Pan's eyes lit up: "You have any at home? Where is your home? Isn't it far away? Do I want my son to drive you to pick it up? Anyway, you can't sell all those fish in a short while... By the way, what good things do you have at home?"
"My family is in Guangfeng Village, Suilai County. There are tiger palm mushrooms at home." Lin Tao said honestly, "But it is not dry goods, it is fresh. It has only been picked for two days and has not been dried yet."
"There are still tiger palm mushrooms? Are there too many?" Lao Pan was completely excited this time, "It's great! I have been retired for so many years and haven't eaten some mountain products. I thought of finding some in the mountains, but my family refused..."
During the chat, Lin Tao and Lin Guodong also learned that Lao Pan is an old quality inspector of the customs and have been dealing with these local specialties for decades. Some strange specialties that ordinary people don’t know are well known and have eaten a lot. His son did not take over his job, but opened a restaurant by himself. While making money, he also satisfied Lao Pan’s desire to talk.
Lao Pan never left until Lin Tao asked Lin Hai and Baomin to send the fish back to Lao Pan. This time Lao Pan did not come with him.
"His aunt is here." Lin Hai said with a smile: "When he saw that he bought so many fish and complained about how many fish were dealt with, Lao Pan was left at home. But seeing that he was moving quickly, he was an expert!"
It was almost noon, and there were not many people coming to buy fish. At about this time, either people had already gone home for dinner, or they had not come out or came back to work. Looking at the fish, about two-thirds of the time had already been released, and they had more than two thousand yuan. Lin Tao said, "How about we go to have dinner first. After sending my dad away later, we will take a walk."
"Okay!"
"Listen to you!"
Neither Lin Hai nor Baomin had any objection. This time, he could make so much money, mainly because Lin Tao's ideas and the good place to choose. They were already full of conviction with Lin Tao, so naturally they had no objection.
Lin Tao lived here the longest time, so he naturally chose the meal choice. Lin Tao did not disappoint them. He chose an old noodle restaurant not far from the train station. Each of the four people had a glutinous noodles and added four noodles at the same time. At this time, this kind of rice was so hungry.
After eating it voraciously, I drank another bowl of noodle soup. I felt that my stomach was already very real, so I checked out and left.
Although it is not the peak period for passenger flow, there are not many people in the train station. Although Lin Guodong brought a lot of things, the four young men took the four platform tickets bought by Lin Tao and sent Lin Guodong directly to the sleeper.
Seeing Lin Tao and the others helping him place their luggage, Lin Guodong felt a little emotional. In the past, when he came here himself every year, although Lin Tao also sent him to the train station, he was not as sensible as he was now? He was outside the platform and watched himself get into the hard seat carriage. Now he basically doesn’t have to do it himself, including a cup of hot water and a bag of food. He prepared everything well. Since he arrived early, the things were placed within his sleeper's sight, so he didn’t have to worry at all. This train was probably the most comfortable time he had ever taken in his life.
"Dad, this is a Walkman." Lin Tao handed Lin Guodong the newly bought Walkman, "It's a Yu Opera tape, which is a headphone. There is also a book here. I just bought it, ancient Chinese history, you can read it in the car! There is a dining car next to this car. Go to eat when you are at the right time, don't be hungry!" Lin Tao put a small bag next to Lin Guodong's pillow. Lin Guodong loves reading books and listening to Henan Opera. There are these two things, so you probably don't have to worry about being bored along the way.
Let’s have some votes! The new book list is no longer guaranteed!
