C84 Buy and sell

Chen Mu was mute for a moment, then glared at Lu Jinfeng: "That's fine, since you like to come with me to the market, then you can be my second in command."

With one extra person, there would be more power. If it wasn't for the fact that she had no other choice, she wouldn't be so busy that she would have to do all the work by herself.

giving Lu Jinfeng a leisurely life

If he didn't do it, then he would die with her.

"Alright." Lu Jinfeng nodded and obediently jumped off the carriage.

Chen Mu placed the basket in his hand onto the ground and sighed. "You wait here, I'll hire someone to look at the carriage."

"There's no need to spend that money, and our carriage is so good, so it might be even less safe to find someone." Lu Jinfeng said.

Chen Mu Mu smirked, "That won't do, but that won't do. Could it be that we'll leave this carriage here and head to the market?"

This was the real fever. Their carriage could be sold for a hundred silver, but the fish-round in their hands could only be sold for three hundred copper coins.

"Of course not." Lu Jinfeng pointed at the Old Lee's head that was waiting for customers not far away, "We are all from the same village, Uncle Li is much more reliable than the others."

With that, Lu Jinfeng walked towards Old Lee's head. No one knew what the two had said, but Lu Jinfeng returned with a face full of joy.

"Uncle Li has agreed. I will drive the carriage over."

"Wait." Chen Mu Mu Mu was in disbelief, "Old Lee's head agreed to it just like that? He is in the business of driving a carriage. Our carriage is better than his. Furthermore, the time for us to sell our vegetables is uncertain. By the time we return, it might already be late. " By that time, the guests in Old Lee's head would probably start cursing.

The Old Lee's head had a good heart and took care of the villagers, but everyone was selfish. It was easy to help others if it was within their capabilities, but she did not believe that the Old Lee's head had the ability to help others.

"I'll give Uncle Li five coppers." Knowing that he could not hide it from Chen Mu Mu, Lu Jinfeng explained honestly.

The Old Lee's head drove the carriage. Each passenger was each copper coin, and each ox-cart was worth more than ten people. Lu Jinfeng gave him five copper coins, so the Old Lee's head agreeing to help him look after the carriage was also reasonable.

Five copper coins was indeed a bit expensive for ordinary people, but it was nothing for a businessman.

It was much more profitable for her to go into the city and make a business trip than to leave a man to look at a carriage.

After Chen Mu finished his consideration, he felt relieved and said, "Let's go."

Given how the other party was willing to lend him money and find work, Chen Mu Mu Mu was more inclined to do this kind of transaction rather than helping him unconditionally.

While it was said that owing favors to others was not a big deal, after accumulating so much, they would have to repay it in the future. It was not that they did not want this favor, but rather, it would be better for them to settle it.

Lu Jinfeng returned very quickly. As they had settled the carriage properly, the two of them went on the road in light clothing.

Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng had come to the market before, so they had to walk around the corner of a street. Maybe it was late in the night, but all the booths of various sizes had already been snatched away. Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng searched for quite a while before finally finding an empty seat beside a middle-aged couple.

"Uncle, Auntie, is there anyone else at this stall?" After going out and speaking with them, Chen Mu asked the couple.

"There's no one here. The rule in this town is that whoever takes the seat first belongs to that person's territory." The uncle was very enthusiastic and helped them take down the basket. When he saw what the two of them were carrying, he asked in surprise, "What is this thing? Golden hair, and a smell of fish? "

"The fish-round is made from fish and can be used for dishes." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he wrapped two paper bundles around a couple and passed them to them. "Please have a taste. How does it taste?"

"How can this be? You guys are here to sell it." The middle-aged couple shook his head.

"I still have a lot in my basket, don't worry about selling them." Chen Mu giggled. "Moreover, this is my first day here. I don't know if the people in the town like this, but you two have a taste. You can consider it as helping us taste it."

At this point, the couple felt too embarrassed to refuse again.

"Thank you, then." The couple grabbed the corner of the fish-round and placed it in their mouths, chewing on it, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they turned to look at her, "Girl, this fish-round of yours tastes really good. It's clearly a dessert, but it tastes like fish meat in a restaurant."

"That's because our fish-round is made from 100% fish and not even a little bit of flour is mixed in." Upon hearing the couple say that the food was delicious, her initial nervousness was immediately reduced by half, and traces of complacency could be seen on her face.

Since ancient times, things without water were the most authentic. The fish-round she made was the freshest river fish, it did not have any flour mixed in it, and it had just come out of the oven, so it was naturally delicious.

Just like the fish in a restaurant, when they first made it out of the pot, wouldn't it be overflowing with fragrance?

"So that's how it is. I didn't know that there was such a thing in the past." The uncle chewed on the fish-round in his hands, his face was filled with enjoyment as if he had tasted something delicious. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, their intoxicated expressions, the scent of the fish-round, and the dialogue earlier had already pulled over the first guest.

This was a middle-aged woman around the age of thirty. She had a vegetable basket on her elbow which contained a few handfuls of vegetables and radishes, as well as a piece of meat that was not small.

"You call this thing the fish-round?" The woman stopped in front of the stall and looked at the golden fish-round in the basket.

"Yes, it's called the fish-round. It was created from the meat of fish and the taste is very good. It can eat the taste of fish and doesn't need to use too much effort to remove the bones." Towards the first customer, Chen Mu Mu Mu was exceptionally enthusiastic, "Do you feel that your appetite has been stirred up? Elder sister, do you want to buy some? "

Seeing that she could even speak, the woman felt that the fish-round was more exquisite and cute. Smelling the fragrance, she stopped moving.

Her gaze was always fixed on the fish-round, her mouth occasionally heard the sound of saliva being swallowed, but she hesitated, secretly muttering to herself: "That sounds good, I've never seen this thing before, who knows if it's edible or not."

Chen Mu Mu then wrapped a piece of fish-round with a piece of paper and gave it to her: "There's something here, why don't you try it? If you think it's good, it's not too late to buy more. "

The woman rolled her eyes. "Let me tell you, this was given to me by you. If I find it unpleasant, I won't buy it."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "This is my treat. Try it, I won't force you to buy anything that doesn't taste good. You are free to do business."

When the woman heard her say that, the fish-round came under her nose again. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and put the fish-round into her mouth.

He had only taken a single bite when his eyes widened. "It's so fragrant and delicious!"

She quickly chewed the fish-round in her mouth, and before she could fully savor it, she said straightforwardly: "How much are you selling this fish-round for, give me a jin."

"A hundred copper coins for one catty." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was not in a hurry to wrap the fish-round, but calmly looked at the woman.

As expected, after hearing the price, the woman was stunned. "With your kind of thing, one Jin would actually cost a hundred copper coins?" She shook her head and picked at her ears. "The most expensive meat in the east of the city is only 20 copper coins. Your fish-round is even more expensive than that pork!"

The woman's shout attracted a few people who came over to watch the commotion and discussed amongst themselves. They were all criticizing her for asking a sky-high price.

Chen Mu Mu Mu was not annoyed and explained patiently: "Pork weighs 20 copper coins per catty. Fish meat is usually more expensive than pork, and my fish-round s are made from pure fish meat. Let alone the time it takes to do manual labor, even with just 1 catty of fish-round s, we would still need 3 catties of fish meat. While mother, brother, and I have been busy the whole day, we have only made three kilograms of fish-round. A hundred copper coins is very cheap. "

"It's still too expensive." The woman shook her head, "I've bought vegetables in this street for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such expensive dishes. Furthermore, a fish-round like you is not even considered meat."

"Of course it's meat. You also managed to eat it just now. The pure fish meat doesn't have any rice powder mixed in, right?" You said that we have never seen fish-round on this street before, but today, they are also fish, only that the way they eat it is different. This fish-round is a cooked food, so no matter if you bring it back to eat it raw or with soup, it will be very easy. "

Chen Mu smiled, and his eyes formed a crescent moon, "The most important thing is that the taste of this fish-round is even better than the taste of the fish, isn't that so?"

The woman's doubts were refuted by Chen Mu one by one. In the end, she also questioned her own words.

Even though the fish meat was gone from his mouth, the remaining fragrance was still lingering on his cheeks and teeth, furthermore, the food was rare and valuable, the taste of the fish-round was not bad, and it was a unique dish, so it was natural for the price to be higher. The woman hesitated and said, "Although that is the case, your price is still too expensive."

Seeing her expression, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu knew that she was trying to push the price down, and the profit on her lips increased: "Big sister, please don't make things difficult for me, for my small business, fish-round s are not easy to deal with."

Being able to push down the price meant that she wanted to buy it. Now that the woman had the idea of buying it, the rest of the business was easier to handle.

However, she had just set up a stall and was doing business. This price was unstoppable. Once she started, it wouldn't be easy to stop her from selling it later.

She pretended to hesitate, then thought for a while and said, "How about this, you're our first customer. If you want to buy one, I'll give you half a kilogram more."

The preferential treatment attracted her attention. The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. "What if I buy one catty?"

Chen Mu Mu laughed boldly: "I'll give you one catty and two catties of it for you. I'll give you two catties as a discount."

Before the woman could say anything, the woman behind her shouted, "Give me a jin of it. I am your first guest, you must give me a discount!"

"Alright." Chen Mu Mu responded, and lowered his head, about to wrap the fish-round.

The woman from before could not take it anymore. "I am the first customer. Girl, I've been standing here for a while, and you also said that it would be a privilege for me. You can't just go back on your word, can you?"

"Didn't you say that you won't buy it? Why are you arguing with me now?" the woman asked unhappily.

"I'll buy it. Who said I won't? I was just thinking about how many pounds I want to buy!" The woman harrumphed and continued to interrogate Chen Mu Mu Mu, "Little girl, tell me, who exactly are you giving a discount to?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu was naturally overjoyed to rush the money over to her. He hesitated for a moment: "According to the previous price we will give you two preferential treatment."
