Chapter 6: Rich Lady, Please Give Me More
"Well, I caught it in the sea."

"Take it to the market first. If you can't sell it at a suitable price, come back and try your luck in front of the hospital later."

Chen Hui finished speaking seriously.

Looking back at Lin Jiao and An Wenjing, they both had expressions that said they wanted to believe it but couldn't.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Hui asked with a helpless smile.

"Brother Chen Hui, don't tell me that you jumped into the sea yesterday to catch these, along with the sea cucumbers and fish?"

"no."

"That's what I said. Your luck is too good, isn't it? Can you really catch such a big fish at the seaside?"

"I didn't jump in to catch them, I slowly dived down to catch them. There are so many rocks on the beach, how can I jump in? Well, I'm going to the market first while there's still time."

It has already taken a lot of time to get here from Chenjia Village. If it’s any later, there will be fewer people buying vegetables.

Chen Hui didn't waste any more time explaining and left with the fish.

aba aba
An Wenjing raised her head and looked at Lin Jiao in surprise.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Mom, why don't you eat?" An Wenyi raised his head from the lunch box of seafood soup and tugged at Lin Jiao's clothes.

Chen Hui walked down the street carrying the fish. Pedestrians and medical staff he met on the road would turn around to look at the fish in his hand.

The eastern grouper is quite common, but most of them weigh only one or two kilograms.

Most people have never seen such a big grouper.

"Hello."

"This comrade."

"The comrade in front with the big fish!"

A voice hurried down from the second floor.

At first, Chen Hui didn't think that he was being called, so he ignored it.

Only when I heard “hold the big fish” did I stop and look back.

"Comrade, where did you buy this fish?"

This person wants to buy fish?
Chen Hui quickly glanced at the woman approaching.

Although she was wearing a plain cheongsam, the texture of the fabric looked very good and it matched very harmoniously with the pearl necklace on her neck.

The woman had a handbag and a basket slung over her arm and was walking quickly in her low-heeled shoes.

In addition to toiletries, the basket also contained some thin quilts and some small clothes.

The obstetrics and gynecology department is on the second floor of the hospital.

"I didn't buy it. I caught it from the sea."

"My family member needs money for the hospital and I don't want to keep it for food, so I plan to sell it in the market for some money," said Chen Hui.

"This fish should be quite nutritious, right?"

The woman bent down and looked at the fish in Chen Hui's hand curiously.

Excellent condition, pure color and no damage.

The key point is the head. Even if you live by the sea, you rarely see one so big.

"Of course. Grouper contains high-quality animal protein that can nourish the body and replenish qi. It also contains vitamins C and E, which can help the body recover."

"In our village, we give this medicine to women who have just given birth. It helps them produce milk quickly and in large quantities, and the babies born from this medicine are all plump and fair."

Chen Hui said this with great confidence.

When the woman heard that it could help with milk production, a smile appeared on her face.

"I think you don't need to go to the market. How much is this fish? I'll buy it."

"two hundred."

After saying this, Chen Hui was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.

I just came back to life, and I haven’t yet adjusted to the inertia of prices.

But now that I have said it, I can't change my words right away.

Sure enough, when the woman heard the price, she was stunned and immediately frowned.

Chen Hui secretly regretted that he might not be able to make money from this rich woman. "Two hundred? That's too expensive."

"Young man, don't think I don't know the market price and just bid a random price. I won't buy it at this price."

"How about this, one hundred! I don't want a cent more!" said the woman, holding up a finger.

"Ah?!" Chen Hui was stunned
Can you do this?

How can you say you know the market price?
Chen Hui was thinking about it last night and tried his best to sell the fish for fifty yuan.

When it comes to hospital expenses, try your best not to use your wife's own money.

"Is it okay or not? If it's not okay, then I can leave." The woman pretended to take half a step back.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "You seem to be a straightforward person. One hundred is one hundred. My patient at home has no one to stay with him. I can sell it so I can go back and take care of him."

"Hey, the boy is quite sensible."

The woman smiled, put the things aside, took out colorful money from her purse and handed it over.

good guy?
Dollar?!
No wonder.

Those who can go out at this time are very generous with their money when they come back.

Some even bring back tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to build bridges, roads, and schools, thus improving the lives and education of their fellow countrymen.

"Oh? Oops, I got the wrong one."

"Here's the money for you. I see you don't even know where to change it."

The woman took the money back with a smile, then took out a stack of ten-yuan bills from another side pocket of her handbag, counted out ten and handed them to Chen Hui.

I complained to myself: "The denominations are too small. I have to count dozens of them just to buy anything."

"So you are overseas Chinese. Your family is really capable. The business has spread abroad."

The two kinds of money are packed separately, so it is impossible to take the wrong one.

Chen Hui saw that she just wanted to show off, so he complimented her considerately.

"I don't have any special skills. I just couldn't make ends meet and had to go out to make a living."

The woman said this, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

He gave the money to Chen Hui, took the fish, held it up and looked at it again and again.

"Are you a grandmother or a great-grandmother?" Taking advantage of the other party's good mood, Chen Hui took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Grandma, my big fat grandson weighs more than 15 pounds and looks exactly like my son when he was a child."

Talking about her precious grandson, the woman's face was filled with joy, and the corners of her mouth almost stretched to the back of her head.

In those hard times, the average newborn weighed only five or six kilograms, and it was rare to find a newborn weighing more than eight kilograms.

"More than eight pounds? This child is stronger than other babies right after birth. He will definitely be like a puppy in the future."

Chen Hui couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

In a few decades, if you say this, you will probably get beaten up.

But it is different now. Life is difficult and the child mortality rate is very high.

The nicknames given to children at home are usually more humble, and the blessings are also said to be like piglets or puppies, in the hope that the children can be easy to raise and grow up healthy.

The woman nodded in satisfaction and asked Chen Hui, "Young man, can you read?"

Chen Hui nodded.

The woman handed the hemp rope with the fish hanging on it back to Chen Hui and took out a pen and paper from her handbag.

He quickly wrote two lines and handed them to Chen Hui:

"If you have any more seafood like this in the next few months, please send it to my house and I will take it all."

Oh?
Chen Hui just responded with a few words because he was in a good mood, but he didn't expect to gain a rich lady as a repeat customer.

He quickly took the address, took a careful look at it, folded the paper and put it in his pocket, and roughly asked the rich woman about her needs.

Don’t eat cold-natured foods like shrimps and crabs, and don’t eat cheap foods like conchs and oysters.

Sea cucumbers, abalone and other marine fish are nutritious.

If there are any rare ones like the Oriental Grouper, you can send us as many as you want.
