Chapter 150 The snake is sold, exotic pet lovers

The green apple rolled all the way to An Wenjing, who picked it up and returned it to Huang Shuqing.

"thank you."

Huang Shuqing took the apple and said unhappily, "I can't buy it at this price."

"Hahahaha, selling a snake for two hundred dollars, you are amazing!" Huang Xiu Lian couldn't stop laughing.

"I've never sold it before, I just think it looks good."

"I thought that when a beautiful woman walks on the street, people can't help but take a second look, so the price of the beauty snake is reasonable."

Seeing Huang Shuqing's reaction, Chen Hui knew that his asking price was too high, so he smiled and pretended to be a naive young man who had never seen the world.

"I think this makes sense."

"Besides, the kid just asked you to name a price, but it was you who insisted on making him bid without any bid."

"You're just making things difficult for others," Huang Xiu Lian immediately agreed.

We can’t let Chen Hui, a simple-minded young man, be cheated by his uncle.

"How could I have known he would be so outrageous?"

"How about this, thirty yuan!" Huang Shuqing said.

"."

What does empathy mean?

Chen Hui immediately understood Huang Shuqing's feelings just now.

Looking at the green apple in his hand, I just wanted to snatch it and throw it at him.

"Huang Shuqing, don't go too far. Such a big snake, even if it doesn't look good, can still be sold for 30 yuan in the vegetable market." Huang Xiu Lian said.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. How about this, I'll give you a little extra, sixty." Huang Shuqing said with a smile.

"Eighty! Count it as one hundred, and don't say anything more!" Huang Xiu Lian took the initiative to help Chen Hui raise the price.

Huang Shuqing has some understanding of his niece, who is only a few years younger than him.

She has no concept of money and is very generous to people she gets along with. If you don't stop her, she will dare to raise the price back to two hundred.

Huang Shuqing stood up and said excitedly, "Niece, who can sell snakes for 100 yuan? If you hadn't brought them here, I would have given them 50 yuan, which is a very generous price."

"Then why did you give him thirty just now?" Huang Xiu Lian immediately caught the loophole in the old man's words.

"." Huang Shuqing couldn't respond.

"How about this, I'll give you seventy-five."

"I sold it to another enthusiast and I guess it would only sell for about 80 yuan."

"If you don't even want to give me the money to earn from your hard work, then just sell it at the vegetable market," said Huang Shuqing.

"It's not too much! It's my duty!" Chen Hui winked at Huang Xiu Lian and immediately took over the conversation.

"Okay! It's a deal then."

Huang Shuqing took the book out and gave some money to Chen Hui.

Take the big snake out of the cage, grab the snake's head with one hand and the tail with the other, and look at it in the sunlight.

"It looks even better when it's taken out. How can such a beautiful snake be sold for less than a hundred yuan?" Huang Xiu Lian said.

"The snakes you buy to eat should be big. The bigger they are, the more valuable they are."

"Snakes bought to keep have to be valuable, either good-looking or rare!"

"This snake is good-looking, but not rare. This kind of snake is rare here, but you can still see it a few times in Hainan."

After admiring it for a while, Huang Shuqing found a special cage and put the snake in it.

He took two green apples and handed them to Chen Hui and An Wenjing respectively, saying, "Next time if you catch something rare, like a snake or a lizard, you can bring it to me if you want to sell it."

snake? lizard?

Chen Hui sighed in his heart: What a special hobby! It turns out that some people like exotic pets at this time.

"How can I sell you so many strange cold-blooded animals? I'm here to catch fish."

"Didn't Guixiang say she wanted to buy sea fish? I was talking about this young man," Huang Xiulian said. She had originally planned to introduce him to Chen Hui at dinner tomorrow.

Since she was here today, Huang Xiu Lian just told her everything.

"Sea fish? Are you a fisherman?" Huang Shuqing asked Chen Hui.

"What fishermen? They go into the sea to catch fish themselves. Isn't that amazing?"

"Chen Hui, tell him about all the things you sold to me before. I'm a rich uncle and he can afford them." Huang Xiu Lian said.

"I don't have a fishing boat. I usually catch the fish I sell to Sister Xiulian myself."

"That is, the red grouper and the gorgeous shrimp tiger fish weighing five or six kilograms." Chen Hui said.

"Is there any difference between the fish caught in the sea and the fish caught by fishing boats?" Huang Shuqing asked.

The prices are different.

Chen Hui laughed in his heart and didn't wait to speak.

Huang Xiulian chewed her apple and couldn't help saying:

"That's a huge difference."

"When fishing boats come out to cast their nets to catch fish, the fish are usually half dead by the time they are pulled up into the nets. When they are brought back to the port a few days later, the fish meat has fallen apart."

"Every time he sent me fish, they were alive and kicking, and the fish soup made from them was especially sweet."

"If you don't believe me, ask Fangfang. She drinks the fish soup, so she knows it best."

Huang Xiulian swallowed the apple in her mouth and added: "And I just feel that the fish that follow the fishing net passing through the roller of the fishing boat smells like motor oil."

Chen Hui pondered for a moment.

The smell of engine oil may be due to some psychological factors, or it may be that the fish brought back by the fishing boat are no longer fresh, resulting in other odors.

The real difference between catching fish on a fishing boat and catching fish by hand is the difference between dead fish and live fish.

Strictly speaking, this makes sense.

"I don't understand this. Next time you buy one, bring one for your aunt."

"If she likes it, I'll buy it later." Huang Shuqing said.

"What little aunt? Wang Guixiang is two years younger than me."

"Okay, I'm leaving. I have a lot of things to do at home. Remember to come over for dinner tomorrow." Huang Xiu Lian threw the apple core in her hand into the trash can beside her, stood up and said.

Several people left Huang Shuqing's house.

After walking out the door, An Wenjing looked back.

"Do you like it? Why don't we go back and get one?" Chen Hui asked in a low voice.

"I don't have the time, and I don't have such a big place."

"It's so beautiful. I want to get one like this when I get old." An Wenjing put away her envious eyes and followed him out of the alley.

Chen Hui’s bicycle is still at Huang Xiu Lian’s house.

The three of them returned to her house together and agreed to deliver the fish early the next morning and stay for lunch.

"okay, I get it."

Chen Hui took An Wenjing away from Huang Xiulian's house, and heard her shouting from behind: "Chen Hui, stop for a moment."

Ok?
Chen Hui stopped riding his bike and looked back in confusion.

"Come back, come back. There is something I forgot to give you."

Huang Xiulian said, then turned and walked into the yard, took out a bag and handed it to An Wenjing who was sitting behind her, saying, "The wedding photos were sent to me the day before yesterday, and the negatives are also in it."

"I had forgotten about this. Thank you, Ms. Huang Xiu Lian." An Wenjing said with a happy smile.

"What's the use of madam or not? Chen Hui just called me sister, so it's fine to call me that."

After Huang Xiu Lian finished speaking, she went home happily.
