"Are you asking my dad to help move the goods?"
"I don't know, I didn't say anything. As soon as Dad arrived at the door, Uncle Pei rushed to the door. I didn't hear what they were saying, so I went out again."
Ye Yaodong wondered for a while and ignored it, anyway, his father will find out when he comes back, and now he has to move all the sticky nets onto the cart.
If his father comes back late, he can only go around the village to see if Ah Guang is at home. If he is not at home, he has to ask another person to follow him to set the net. .
The old lady was also there helping him organize the buckets and baskets, stacking them on top of each other, muttering, "I can't see anyone at the critical moment, and I don't know why my in-laws are calling me. When will I come back? I don't know what's going on." The important thing, in such a hurry, didn't eat, so I ran away."
"Should there be something wrong? If nothing happens, I won't come over to call Dad."
"You go to have breakfast first, I'll tidy up for you, I can't let go of this."
"Okay, put the heavy ones away, and move them after I finish eating."
When he finished his meal, prepared all the sticky nets, and was about to go out to find another person, his father came back excitedly, and the two just ran into each other at the gate of the courtyard, and almost bumped into each other.
"Ouch~"
"Dad?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, you don't even look at the road when you go out."
In the basket in Ye's father's hand, a little bit of dried shrimps spilled out, and a few dogs next to him rushed up and licked with their heads down and their long tongues out.
"You villain sued first, obviously you turned the corner excitedly and bumped into it, and I haven't stepped out of the threshold." Ye Yaodong felt quite wronged, "Where did you get the shrimp skin? What else?"
"Go in and talk, go in and talk."
"What are you doing? Uncle Pei brought you shrimp skins?" Ye Yaodong followed his father and walked into the yard.
"Your Uncle Pei has a friend who fishes shrimp skins in Zhejiang Province. It starts every autumn, and the next spring is a good season to fish shrimp skins..."
"So you want me to sell shrimp skins?"
"No, no, yes..."
"What do you mean? Sometimes yes, sometimes no..."
Father Ye was anxious, "Can you listen to me?"
"You say, you say."
"His friend brought back a few sacks of shrimp skins at night, and more than 30,000 catties of faucet fish that he caught on the road. I heard that he encountered a large number of fish schools. He collected at least two to three thousand catties in one net. The boat was full of fish. There is almost no place to pile them up, so they can only be killed on the spot, and five or six people only killed a fraction in a day and night..."
Ye Yaodong was amazed, there are so many of them, if they were replaced with other fish, they would make a fortune, and the least valuable one is the faucet fish.
However, if such a large quantity is sold directly, it will be quite impressive, and it can be sold for hundreds of dollars.
"They hung the fish directly on the boat to dry. Fortunately, they docked last night, otherwise the whole fishing boat would be full and there would be no place to hang it. Then, as soon as they docked last night, they called a dozen people to kill them in the middle of the night. kill there..."
Father Ye flipped around in the basket, and showed him a few pieces of dried dragon head fish that they hung on the boat to dry.
The sea was very windy. Although the few pieces he brought back were not completely dry and still soft to the touch, they were still 50% to 60% dry. Ye Yaodong looked at them, touched them, and they were still quite beautiful.
"So you want to sell me the dried dragon head fish?"
Otherwise, he couldn't figure it out, why did he ask his father to do it?
"Yes, yes, the dried dragon head fish of more than 30,000 catties should be three to four thousand catties after being dried. They are worried about how to sell them, and the quantity is so large. After your Uncle Pei heard about it, he directly mentioned you when he went to watch the excitement. So I hurriedly took me to watch it early in the morning."
That's it, Ye Yaodong rubbed his chin. If his store is not considered a big store, he can sell two to three hundred catties a day, and seven to eight thousand catties a month. The existing goods are only enough for him to sell for a month. If the big goods are sold for a few thousand catties, it is estimated that they will be sold for more than half a month, and he will have to close the door to rest.
It would be fine if he could collect all his batch of dried dragon head fish. Who knows when the weather is suitable for going to sea? It's almost spring, and there will be more rain.
but…
"Why doesn't he sell directly to the recipient? That way, he doesn't have to worry about killing the sun himself, and he is afraid that he won't be able to deliver the goods. Although it's a bit cheaper, it won't be a waste of money, and he can cash it out directly."
"It can't be sold, no one wants it. The faucet fish is so soft. It's over 30,000 catties stacked high up there, and the surface underneath has been crushed and damaged. It's not that beautiful. It doesn't matter if you kill it and expose it to the sun. If it doesn’t come out, it doesn’t affect it. If it’s fresh, it won’t be sold. It’s already cheap to death. It’s only a penny if you buy so many quantities.
That's right, tens of thousands of catties, there is nothing to pack, and the boat is full, so it's no wonder that it looks good.
"Is it fresh?"
"Fresh is quite fresh. It was caught the night before yesterday. It should be said that it was caught yesterday morning. It's cold now, and it's only been a day and a half. If it can be killed and exposed in the sun today and tomorrow, that's fine."
"That's okay, I still think that the few thousand catties in our house will only be enough to sell the store for a month. If the boss or the army asked for it two days ago, it is not enough to sell, and we have to close the door for a few days. "
"Yes, yes, I just thought, your dried fish sells very quickly, and it's very easy to sell. It's a few thousand catties more, so you shouldn't worry about putting it there, and this fish is also cheap."
There is already an advantage in terms of price, not to mention that the dried dragon head fish is stir-fried, and the taste is awesome, perfect for drinking!
Usually wanting such a large amount of dried dragon head fish is not easy to organize. No one would think of catching this kind of cheap fish on purpose. in bulk.
Some people don’t bother to ask for it, they just dump it back into the sea, and after taking it back, they have to pack it up, take up space on the boat, and take up the basket, so that the space and the basket can be used to hold other fish.
"Go, go and see, is it far away? Let's go by bicycle."
"It's not far away, it's in a nearby village, about ten minutes by bicycle."
"Then go and have a look. If it's suitable, wait for them to dry and take them all. I've tidied up these sticky nets and put them on the scooter. I'll come back later and go to sea. It's two hours late. At worst, I'll do it later." .”
"It's a little later, and there's no rush to release the net. Let's go and see the dragon head fish first."
Father Ye got on his bicycle and told him about shrimp skins, "They also brought back five or six sacks of dried shrimp skins, and they also weighed four to five hundred catties. You ate them just now. Do you want to buy them too and put them in the store for retail sale?" ah."
"It's okay, anyway, it's incidental, you have to ask the price, if you can earn a salary and a fare, it's fine. I see someone in the city setting up a stall there, and the shrimp skins are very good."
This is much easier to sell than dried fish. Back in the day, some people came to sell shrimp skins with loads, and every family would weigh half a catty and go back home, and sprinkle a handful of soup, stir-fry vegetables, and children who are greedy. They are all very good. This is one of the best-selling seafood products, and it can also be said to be the most circulated at present.
Ye Yaodong listened to Father Ye's directions along the way, only to realize that the cargo on the fishing boat hadn't been unloaded at all. They directly asked someone to kill them right away at the pier, and loaded a basket on the boat after killing one basket.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw that the scene was extremely hot.
The whole open space was full of baskets of fish, and a dozen or so women each occupied a small area, sitting there with a stool horizontally, and there was also a stool horizontally in front of them, with a wooden board on top, so that they could sit and kill. fish, while the unkilled fish is on the left hand side and the killed fish is on the right hand side.
There are also many people coming and going to carry the fish that have been killed, probably to take them back to dry.
The amount of more than 30,000 catties sounds scary enough. A dozen or twenty people were killed there at the same time, and I don’t know if they can kill them all tomorrow.
As soon as he parked his bicycle in the open space next to him, Uncle Pei immediately brought a strange, short, middle-aged man over.
The weathered man's face is worse than his father's, at least under his influence, his father can occasionally apply clam oil or wear a mask, and now his face is less prone to peeling, this man doesn't know Did you just come back from the sea, your lips are chapped and purple, and the skin on your face feels flakes.
However, the eyes are quite shrewd.
Also, if a simple and honest person is not smart, how would he dare to sail north to Zhejiang Province? I heard that this person and Father Pei used to run a big boat together, and he was bold because he had been to Zhejiang Province. Father Pei originally bought the boat because he wanted to One went to Zhejiang Province, but the boat he bought was not as big as others.
Fortunately, he was dissuaded by Ah Guang, who was fascinated by Ye Huimei's beauty all his life and was unwilling to leave the village.
Everything is different.
Everything is getting better too.
Father Pei’s friend is also very straightforward. He just wants to sell all the dried fish, and the price can catch up with the fresh ones. He has to earn back his wages.
He can’t help it, he doesn’t have the capital to negotiate terms, no one except Ye Yaodong would accept so much dried fish, and he still has to sail a boat to fish, so it is impossible to spend time selling so many dried dragon head fish.
What's more, they may not be able to sell much in their local surroundings.
One wanted to sell, the other wanted to buy, the other didn't have high requirements for the selling price, and the other readily agreed. It only took a few minutes to complete the transaction.
"Uncle, I have to put my ugly words first. Your fish must be fresh. If it is not fresh, I don't want it. It will ruin your reputation."
"Sure, sure, I'm hiring people again. I must kill them all before tomorrow and hang them up to dry. It's just that it's not easy to call people at night, so I only invited a dozen or twenty people, and I just sent people back to the village Call someone to come over and kill him."
"Okay, I'm sure I want all the fresh ones, so you don't have to stock up."
"Okay, there are so many, I can't throw them back into the sea, my hair is almost graying, and I will definitely clean them up for you then."
"That's fine. If the quantity is too much and there is no place to put it, you can notify me to come and collect a batch if you dry a batch."
"All right, there is really no place to put it. You are a young boy who has great promise and can do great things. Your father gave birth to a good son. There is hope for the rest of his life, and he can enjoy good fortune in the future. If my four sons have you alright."
"Ahahaha~ My father's mouth is crooked when you boast so much."
Father Ye smiled and said: "This kid is also late to enlightenment, but fortunately, he will still be enlightened, not to mention the rest of his life, I have already counted on it now."
"Good luck, good luck."
The three of them were chatting there, Ye Yaodong looked around, and then went to the boat to have a look, it was really full of fish.
But now it is considered cheap for him. The dried dragon head fish we talked about just now is charged for 10 cents, which is 1 cent cheaper than the price of miscellaneous fish. Who told him to buy more?
He didn't intend to swallow this penny, and he planned to use it as an introduction fee for Uncle Pei.
The other party will not lose money. After deducting the labor cost, they can earn more than a hundred yuan more than fresh ones.
It can also be regarded as hello, me, hello everyone, let’s earn money together.
Trying to do another chapter at night, the update has been delayed for the past few days, sorry!
