Chapter 116 Today is a good day
Akun looked at the big grouper in the basket and was so happy that he said, "Good guy, did you just get it this morning?"
"Yeah! It took me two or three hours to get it." Li Changle looked at him with a smile, "I thought you were going to entertain guests, so I hurriedly delivered it."
"Good boy, I'm sure I'll get the goods from you!" Akun patted him on the shoulder, "Five yuan a pound, this time I'll give it to you at the highest purchase price."
This guy is so smart. These days, he is taking commissions and giving away seafood, which makes him feel embarrassed to put too much pressure on him.
Li Changle, who originally thought he could sell it for three yuan per catty at most, said gratefully after hearing this: "Thank you, Uncle Kun, for taking care of me!"
Akun smiled and said: "Then you have to be good at the goods, then I dare to give you a good price."
"Don't worry, I told Adong that the good stuff will be with you first." Li Changle said, "Uncle, are the customers satisfied with yesterday's Buddha's hand snails?"
"The boss said it was not as good as the one you sent that day. The customer has never eaten the Buddha's conch you sent for the first time, but he is quite satisfied with the ones you sent." A Kun said in a low voice.
"That's good, I'm just afraid that Boss Gu's customers will be dissatisfied."
"The one delivered last time was really good. I have never tasted such sweet and juicy Buddha conch before."
"Boss Gu and you both like it. When I come back from my mother-in-law's house, I'll take a trip to see if there's a good place to stay, and I'll dig some out and send them over."
"Yes, making money is more important than safety." Akun said and dialed the scale. "After removing the skin, it weighs thirty-one pounds and nine taels, which is calculated as thirty-two pounds."
A fish was sold for one hundred and sixty, and after giving the tap, there was still one hundred and fifty. Li Changle happily helped Ah Sheng carry the fish to the kitchen, poured it into the pond, and raised it.
Akun took out a stack of brand-new ten-dollar bills and said, "You have to hide your money. There are a lot of three hands during this period, especially when riding in a car. Be careful."
"I got it." Li Changle took the money, hid it, said goodbye to A Kun, and opened the door with the basket on his back.
I saw a man squatting at the door. After a closer look, he discovered that it was the manager he had beaten at the fish market that day.
Ah Shui turned his head when he heard the footsteps and saw Li Chang Le glare at him angrily. He was about to say something when he saw Ah Kun standing in the yard and quickly swallowed his words.
If he hadn't met this guy, Akun wouldn't have told his uncle what he did at the fish market, and he wouldn't have lost the chance to take over.
Akun also saw him, waved his hand to Li Changle, and then said angrily: "Ashui, you don't understand human speech or something, I told you that the boss doesn't want to recruit people, so you can't help but guard me."
It’s useless.”
This kind of person makes him work in a restaurant, that is, the old man hangs himself because he thinks his life is long enough.
Li Changle listened to it and hummed happily, "Today is a good day. Everything you want can come true. Today is a good day..."
He suddenly remembered his eldest brother. The second brother was coming back today. When he went back, he took a detour to the vegetable market, bought pork belly, pork ribs, and ribs and put them in a backpack. He got on the minibus and wandered back to Shatou Village.
As soon as I arrived at the alley, I saw the elder brother with black hair and dark skin, and the lean second brother, carrying oilcloth bags and heading home.
Li Changle ran a few steps forward excitedly, and looked at his young brother, "Eldest brother, second brother, you are back!" His eyes suddenly started to heat up.
"Where have you been wandering around again?" Brother Li glared at him, and his tone softened when he spoke again, "It's a hot day, so you don't have to worry about heat stroke."
"I didn't mess around. I found a big grouper and just sold it back." Li Changle looked at his elder brother, who was as black as a loach. He just turned thirty, and he looked like he was in his mid-thirties.
The fisherman is exposed to the sun and looks really old.
Of his two brothers, the eldest brother is the nicest to him and loves him the most. He knows that he was hit by a slag truck, but he still doesn’t know why he feels sorry for him!
Brother Li thought about what he heard at the pier and asked happily: "Are you really going to sea fishing?"
"Brother, when we were at the dock, A Dong said that A Le had also started to go fishing. You see, he is tanned." Brother Li continued.
The younger brother who used to look like a weak boy on the stage now finally looks like he can do his job.
"I've been working for more than half a month..." Before Li Changle could finish his words, the children ran out in a swarm, shouting.
"Abba, ah, nanang, nanai, my father is back..."
The yard suddenly became full of chirping noises, like a flock of birds exploding their nests in the forest.
"Uncle, second uncle, you are back!" Li Xiaohai immediately pulled Li Changle after greeting him, "Uncle, my father also went fishing and sold it for a lot of money!"
Li Changle proudly stroked his son. His biological son is his biological son, thinking of himself everywhere.
"Abba, my third uncle rented a boat and encountered a school of big fish when he went out to sea!" Li Xiaoyang added at the side.
"I know, I just heard someone say it at the dock." Brother Li said cheerfully.
"Uncle San made money and bought fire biscuits, ginger candies, and candies for us to eat. Have you bought anything delicious when you come back?" Greedy cat Li Xiaotao finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"My father is on the boat and there is no place to buy anything." Brother Li generously gave Li Xiaoyang 50 cents. "My father will give you the money. You take your younger brothers and sisters to the store to buy popsicles."
Li Xiaoyang took the money and waved to his siblings, "Let's go buy popsicles!"
"Oh oh oh, let's go buy popsicles!" The children all cheered.
The adults in the house also heard the sound and came out. Mother Li supported Father Li and stood on the eaves of the steps, looking happily at the two sons. Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li welcomed them in with smiles on their faces.
"You're back!" Zhou Ruonan smiled at Li Changle, "Awei brought all the sand and ice cubes. He also went to the dock to buy a few cents of ice from A Dong."
"Keep it frozen until it's fresh when it's delivered tomorrow morning." Seeing that the bruise on her cheek had almost faded, Li Changle happily handed the basket to her, "There's meat and ribs in it, you can make some dishes to go with the wine."
"Hey!" Zhou Ruonan responded repeatedly, took the basket and walked towards the house.
Brother Li and Brother Li put down their oilcloth bags and walked towards Father Li who was leaning on a cane. "Abba, are you feeling better? I heard from Adong that you were bitten by a five-step snake, which scared us."
"Much better." Father Li looked at his two sons happily, "I thought it was okay, but thanks to A Le's worry, he insisted that I go to Tuxiaqiao to see him, otherwise I would still be in the hospital now!"
Mother Li smiled happily, "Thanks to A Le...otherwise your father would have been miserable."
"A Le has become sensible!" Brother Li happily patted Li Chang Le a few times, "I heard them talking about you going out on the sea at the dock. I still don't believe it!"
Li Changle looked at his eldest brother who was smiling and narrowing his eyes. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "People have to grow up. I can't let you worry about me for the rest of your life."
"Xiaohai Xiaozhou is so old, it's time to be sensible." Brother Li thought that his eldest nephew was about to enter the first grade. "No matter how ignorant you are, the children will laugh at you."
"Brother, let's go wash up first and let A-Zhen and my sister-in-law pick up some fresh goods to make wine." Brother Li was also very happy. His unattractive brother finally became sensible, and their future burden will be lighter.
Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "Nan is already making it. You go to the well to get water to rinse it first, and we will divide the fresh goods."
"It's okay. Let's divide it up first so that you don't get dirty again."
Brother Li picked up the bag and took out a few large yellow croakers weighing about one kilogram, and then several hairtail fish and cuttlefish that were four fingers wide.
"Ale and Dad both like to eat yellow croaker. We asked for a few big ones to bring back. There are also hairtails that you like to eat. You can divide the rest as you see."
Li Changle looked at those large yellow croakers, "How many more yellow croakers are there?"
"Not many. These are all caught on the return voyage. There are at most a few fish in one net, and sometimes there are none at all. When we get to the dock, we are reluctant to sell them, so everyone divides them."
Brother Li mentioned the oilcloth bag and said, "Mine is the same as my elder brother's, except it has more pomfret. A-Zhen, you can also pick up some and send some to Ale's house."
Sister-in-law Li picked up a pomfret and said, "The one you brought back is not as big as the one Ah Le caught. The ones they caught last time were all palm-wide, and none of them were sold to keep for themselves."
Li Xiaotao pulled Brother Li and said happily: "Abba, since my third uncle started fishing, the food at home has become better. We have braised pork every day."
"You are just like your third uncle, a greedy cat." Brother Li smiled and took the bucket handed over by his mother, and the three brothers walked towards the well together.
"Ale, did you really catch several thousand kilograms of small sharks offshore and encounter crabs moving around?" The brothers still didn't believe it and wanted to hear what he said personally.
"Yeah!" Li Changle said proudly, "It's more than four thousand kilograms, and there are also some miscellaneous fish. I picked some with the heads of squids left for drying. The crabs include cream crabs and butter crabs. I gave them to restaurants and sold them for a few hundred yuan."
After hearing this, the two brothers were envious and happy. Brother Li hugged him and patted him several times happily.
"Your shipping business was better than others when you were a child. If your father, mother, and grandma hadn't spoiled you rotten, you might have become rich long ago."
Brother Li took over and said: "It's not too late to be wise now. As long as you work hard, with the current market situation, the seafood market will only get better and better."
Brother Li nodded, "Yes, the ship boss also said that seafood is much easier to sell now than before, and the price is also more expensive than before. If we have a big ship of our own and good luck, we can build a new house in one go."
Li Changle picked up a bucket of water and said, "Brother, I bought my family's boat and repaired it on the waterway. When I come back from Lucheng, I can drive it back."
Brother Li nodded happily, "Okay, if you take over the ship, Dad will be more relaxed."
"Ale, how much did it cost to modify and repair it?" Brother Li asked.
"Three hundred yuan, Abba has agreed with him before." Li Changle told the two of them what Li's father said.
Brother Li: "Before the boat was damaged, I asked my father to send it to be refitted. At that time, it only cost more than 100 yuan. If the boat was refitted earlier, it would not be damaged."
