Chapter 57 The bank note looks so good-looking
Song Tingran first went to a large fish stall. There were many containers for fish in such places. For example, the old iron rectangular fish basin in front of her. To her surprise, the fish inside were still jumping around.
"Boss, can I rent this fish basin?"
"what?"
The fishmonger didn't expect anyone to rent this thing. Because the house has to change it from time to time, the ones that can't be sold have to be raised at home, so there are some that are idle.
"How long do you want it for? We need it at night."
"Just use it until noon. You can collect it at the entrance of Baiwei Building at noon."
This kind of good business can't be obtained even by burning incense and praying to Buddha. The fishmonger has no reason to disagree. This is equivalent to making money while the fish basin is idle.
However, this fishmonger only has five spare ones in his hands. If he wants to hold 500 fish, it is obviously not enough.
"Does anyone else have one? Other shapes are also fine, as long as they are bigger, you can still make a profit in the middle. I am very strict, I just want to save trouble."
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem." The fishmonger smiled so hard that he didn't have the time to ask what it was used for.
Soon, ten fish basins of about the same size were gathered together. According to Song Tingran's request, they were all transported to a remote alley. According to her, if you are doing business, don't ask too much.
With the fish pretending to be easy, half the job was done. She started going to every bullock cart spot to see who was idle.
The space behind an oxcart can only fit one fish basin, so according to common sense, she should find ten oxcarts, but there are not that many in Changkou Town in total.
It is said that there are only three in total, and only two are free to wait for guests.
Two are fine, and it’s not too much trouble to transport them five times.
We found six more laborers, negotiated the price, and went to the alley together.
Song Tingran was sitting on the bullock cart to guide the way, and the others followed the bullock cart. Suddenly, Sang Cheng was in the crowd, looking around with his little eyes.
Are you looking for her?
"Sang Cheng, Sang Cheng!"
Song Tingran shouted loudly, and Sang Cheng heard it immediately and waved to the bullock cart.
The bullock cart stopped and Sang Cheng also got on it.
"Why are you here? Where is Changyu Bridge?"
"My wife, Chang Yuqiao has eaten, drank medicine, and gone to bed. Don't be angry. This is all my fault. I was really worried, so I wanted to come find you. I saw you early. Yes, I’ll be happy for a while.”
Sang Cheng transformed again, chatting over tea, making people feel less angry.
"You won't do it next time. We are not familiar with this place in Changkou Town. I can't even find you if you lose me."
Sang Cheng secretly hooked his wife's hand with his little finger and said, "No way, my wife is the most powerful person in the world and a fairy in the sky."
Song Tingran made him laugh. The two of them were talking. Time passed quickly. In a few words, the place was reached.
Sang Cheng got off the bullock cart first, and then helped Song Tingran down. She said, "You guys wait here while I go in and take a look first."
You, including Sang Cheng, stood there obediently, not looking at passers-by, and just stood there when told to.
Song Tingran walked inside and saw ten fish basins. She looked around to make sure there was no one there. From the farming space, she first filled each fish basin with half of the water.
Then according to Chu Yan's request, five hundred fish appeared quickly and vividly, and each one was top quality.
She took a few steps outside and shouted, "Okay, come in and move the goods."
Sang Cheng walked in the front. Everyone knew that this was Song Tingran's husband. He seemed to be doting on him. He walked beside him and snickered a few words.
"Oh my God, so many fish! Never seen that before."
"This fish must have grown up eating golden beans. There are hundreds of them."
The laborers and the driver were all looking at each other with big eyes. Sang Cheng was also frightened. It was incredible that his wife had to get up so early to do so many things.
Four people carried a fish basin, placed it behind the bullock cart, and fixed it with a rope, so that there would still be some water on the road, but it didn't matter, the journey was not far.
Now it seems that Sang Chengli's luck is that he was left here to watch the fish. Otherwise, this place would have been known to others, and it would be difficult not to say that he met a thief with bad morals.
The two coachmen drove the car very carefully. Because the live fish on the car were large and fresh, some passers-by asked if they were new fishmongers.
Song Tingran also directly signed a sign for Baiweilou, saying that it was all fresh fish for Baiweilou and you could go and try it.
The time was a little earlier than yesterday, but about the same. The waiter at the shop was waiting for customers at the door. He saw this scene from a distance and greeted Chu Yan.
"Boss Song, you came really early. You have worked hard along the way."
Although Chu Yan was greeting Song Tingran, his eyes couldn't stay away from the fish.
"Shopkeeper Chu, don't be stunned. Move it quickly. There are a hundred of them here. We don't have enough oxcarts. We have to go back to pull them."
As soon as Chu Yan greeted him, the people from Baiweilou started working immediately. The fish basin in the kitchen was already ready.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Chu, the water in my fish basin is what they are used to. Just add as much as you can. Don't change the water at any time. Add more when the water level drops. Keep these fish alive and kicking."
Chu Yan understood, but didn't understand, so he still agreed and continued the instructions.
At the end of the trip, Chu Yan also sent out the bullock cart from Baiweilou to move it together. After two or three trips, it was completely moved.
"Boss Song, I, Baiweilou, will buy fish from you from now on. The quality is really good. I was worried about you yesterday. It's really rude. This is fish money. You can count it."
Song Tingran took it over and took a look. This Chu Yan was really attentive. One hundred and fifty taels were given in silver notes, which could be exchanged at the bank. It was convenient to carry on the road and did not take up space.
She fumbled with the banknote naturally, sighing that it looked really good.
"Just in time, let's clear the money and goods. Let's put these fish pots aside for now. Someone will pick them up later."
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw several fishmongers coming over. He looked at the big fish being carried by Baiweilou, and then looked at Song Tingran, exclaiming in amazement.
"Are you in this business too?" a fishmonger asked, thinking that it would be a great thing to wholesale such high-quality fish.
"I'm in the fruit and vegetable business. The address is at Song's House in Daniu Village. Once I ask, I'll tell you that it will open soon. If you need anything, I'll go and have a look."
Advertise your home all the time.
The fishmongers took away their own fish basins. The rental fee had been paid in advance. They were discussing this strange thing while walking. They didn't know where such good fish were caught from, and they didn't listen. Said there was a new fishing ground nearby.
Chu Yan pulled Song Tingran aside and asked very affectionately: "Boss Song is so powerful at such a young age. His future is boundless. In the future, our Baiweilou will still have a large number of fixed fish. When the time comes, you must Give me a preferential price.”
