Chapter 3 Heartache Wow!
In the previous life, I just had fun with my friends, and didn't care about what happened at home.
Woke up and went out to hang out with friends, and came back drunk at dinner, only remembered to catch a large yellow croaker, and he didn't hear the price clearly, so he went back to sleep in a daze.
Although large yellow croakers are rare these days, the standard of living of ordinary people is limited, and they are not very expensive. It is only several times more expensive than ordinary fish.
Unlike later generations, they have been fired at sky-high prices.
In 2022, the price of a catty of wild large yellow croaker will be 600 yuan per catty.
The price of wild large yellow croaker with 3 taels per catty is about 800 yuan per catty; the price of wild large yellow croaker with 8 taels per catty is more than 1,000 yuan per catty.
If the price is about 2 catties, the price is about 1,500 to 1,600 yuan per catty.
If the weight is more than 2 catties, generally more than 3,000 yuan per catty.
This is the price charged directly by the fresh harvesting ship at sea. Once it enters the port, the price of 1-2 catties of large yellow croaker will double!
If the quantity is large, the price will also fluctuate.
Although he does not seek to make progress, he is a bit of a mess, but he is also a native fisherman, and he still knows what he has.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, **** it, it would be great if he could pull this net decades later!
Blood loss of millions!
All Ye's family members frowned, watching him slap his thigh strangely, with regret on their faces.
What the **** is wrong with the third child?
Mother Ye frowned and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing, third child? Okay, why are you slapping your thigh so hard? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Mother, how much did we sell for that net of large yellow croakers yesterday? I didn't hear clearly yesterday, so I went back to sleep."
Ye's mother glanced at Ye's father. Anyway, the whole family knew it. If she didn't say anything, the third daughter-in-law would say it when she returned home, so she just said directly: "One thousand two hundred yuan! It was bought for five yuan a catty, and it was a little bit short. Said, the boss is also generous and directly counts as an integer."
I was taken advantage of, and even praised his generosity! ?
Ye Yaodong beat his chest and stomped his feet, "Mother, do you know that you are losing money, blood loss!"
In the room, men, women, and children all frowned and looked at each other. The boss couldn't help but asked impatiently, "How do you know we lost money?"
"I hang out all day, how can I not know how valuable the big yellow croaker is?"
That's true, don't look at the third child as a bit of a jerk, but he is still the most knowledgeable in the whole family.
Wandering around the city with a group of people all day long, knowing a bunch of people of various religions, can you not be knowledgeable?
Mother Ye also felt nervous, "What do you mean? How much does it sell for a catty outside? The fish in our village has always been bought by the wharf. It was because our amount was too large yesterday that the wharf contacted a boss directly. receive."
"If you pack some ice cubes and send them to the county town by a tractor, you can directly double the amount!"
Ye Yaodong's heart ached so much, in fact, it was doubled, and in future generations, more than two hundred catties would be worth millions!
Hearing what he said, everyone regretted it in their hearts, being hasty...
doubled...
This is directly short of 1,200 yuan, heartache...
Father Ye’s heart was also bleeding, and the hand holding the hookah trembled, twelve hundred yuan...
Now the wages of ordinary workers are only 40 to 50 a month. I really want to vomit blood!
Father Ye's chest was heaving and he scolded him directly: "You bastard, you wander around all day and don't do business! If you go to sea with us, we won't just sell it for five yuan a catty!"
"It's none of my business. I didn't know you could catch big yellow croakers. If I knew, I would have gone to the pier and waited! No, I would have found a rich boss to wait at the pier in advance!"
Ah bah... I curse myself!
Father Ye's chest was heaving with anger, and in the end he could only sigh, "Forget it, I've sold everything, and there's nothing to regret. Maybe our family's fortune is only so much for the time being. If you get it later, you will have experience." I won’t sell it so hastily again.”
Yeah, it’s all sold, and it’s useless to regret it now.
The family's good mood ended directly at Ye Yaodong's hands.
Originally, Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye came to the door to share a share, but they were depressed for a while, but they were still in a good mood.
Now...ah...
I just feel it's a pity, because I could have sold it for more money.
After a while of heartache, the whole family accepted it calmly, and they made a fortune after all.
Ye Yaodong was the most depressing, "Father, do you think big yellow croakers are Chinese cabbage? Next time you catch them, you will have experience..."
"Don't you know that the number of large yellow croakers has dropped sharply after being knocked on the gǔ cloth several times, and it is almost invisible now?"
"In 1954, the method of knocking knuckles was spread from Guangdong Province to Fujian Province. Because this method of fishing is very efficient and the output is huge, it was promoted directly in a short period of time. Large yellow croakers were caught in large quantities..."
"In 1974, Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province carried out a super-large-scale fishing, which almost made the large yellow croaker go extinct. In recent years, wild yellow croaker has hardly been seen in the market..."
"Father, do you think you still have this luck in your life?"
It's harder than winning the lottery!
The boat left by his grandfather is only a dozen meters long, and can only go to the sea, not too far. To be able to catch this large yellow croaker is really smoke from the ancestral grave.
When the family listened to his eloquent and spitting words, they were also taken aback by him.
The third child...When did the third child know so much...
Knocking method...Only Father Ye heard about it. After all, their family does not have a big boat to go to sea to work.
Now the information is not circulating, even the eldest and the second have never heard of it, but the third actually speaks clearly and logically. Immediately, the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law present couldn't help but look at him differently.
Perhaps... Isn't the third child so useless...
Lin Xiuqing was stunned. For the first time, she discovered that her husband's appearance when he was talking seriously turned out to be quite... so what?
The brilliance between the brows, is it when talking about familiar things, exuding the light of confidence?
Or, her man is not so useless?
Father Ye also put aside his contempt for his third son, and rarely asked seriously: "How do you know the Kung Fu method? How do you know what happened in 1954 and what happened in 1974?"
Ye’s father has only heard of the Knocking Method, but he doesn’t know about the major fishing incidents that occurred in the past 20 years from 1954 to 1974. After all, the Internet is underdeveloped and information is not circulating.
Ye Yaodong actually learned about these things only after listening to other crew members talking about them when he was running a big ship.
Otherwise, just because he was lazy and a waste of food in the first half of his life, how could he pay attention to these things.
But he can't miss the bottom line.
Looking at everyone's expressions, he also knew that he had saved a little image, which was considered a good thing, so he couldn't help but straighten up a little.
Having been muddled for half of his life, he will grow up and mature in the next ten years and have a little responsibility.
Once again, he doesn't want to be a waste. Although he still doesn't have much ability, at least he can work, can surf the sea, and if he is diligent, he should be able to support his wife and children.
He no longer wants to rely on his wife for support.
But it takes time to change, otherwise he might be regarded as a ghost.
The price of yellow croaker is inflated compared to that time. At the end of Chapter 33, there is a brief explanation
