Nine cents a pound!
This price-performance ratio is surprisingly high. After all, sweet potatoes now cost eight cents a pound, cornmeal costs ten cents, and rice costs one cent three cents or one cent four cents. I heard that prices have started to rise again recently.
Of course, the most important thing.
Buy ten pounds and get one pound free. Although everyone doesn’t know how to settle accounts, does the fish costing nine cents per catty count as eight cents per catty?
The villagers in these rural areas really can't figure out how much it costs per pound.
Anyway, it's very cheap.
I usually eat dried sweet potatoes, but today I wanted to try some meat.
As for the 12 cents.
It's expensive for a reason, it's rare, it's delicious, it's all garlic clove meat, it has few thorns...!
"This grass carp is pretty good. I think it weighs about ten kilograms. Give me one of these. I can stew it with soybean paste at home. It will definitely be delicious."
"Bring me some carp, and I'll go home and make tofu stew."
"This herring is pretty good. Give me a few too. Can't we weigh them less?"
"Young man, how did you catch so many?"
"Is there any tomorrow? I didn't bring much money today."
The surrounding villagers picked out the fish they liked, and then gave it to Li Qingshan to weigh.
"Tomorrow morning, it will be the same time, and they will definitely come again, and the price will be the same today. We caught these fish, but our old noses are useless. We are not the only ones catching fish. We are just here to sell fish."
"Auntie, your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby. Let's bring in a crucian carp. The crucian carp is stewed with tofu and the milky-white soup will be made. It will definitely be a great supplement. There is also this black fish stick, which produces milk. It is also stewed with tofu. It is delicious and nutritious. The milk is also nutritious. My grandson will definitely grow white and fat after eating it."
"My uncle has bad teeth. Hey... fish is not pork, and a three-year-old can chew it. It's perfect."
"Uncle, look, the scale that is high is not low at all."
As Li Qingshan talked, he began to weigh the fish. The fish of more than 500 kilograms were almost sold out in a short time, and there were still two eels left that no one bought.
The main thing is that this thing is expensive, only a cent and a pound, and there are not many people eating here, so they are not very good at eating it. However, this thing is a great tonic for men, and it is also called a man's water.
The eels of this era were much larger than those of later generations.
In later generations, many eels were caught that were as thick as chopsticks, and the larger ones were no more than the thickness of a thumb. But the two that Li Qingshan caught today were as thick as a baby's arm, and weighed about three kilograms, just like a small eel.
