Chapter 155 My brother is so unreliable.
When Li Changle heard that Uncle Wang's meat stall was doing well, he felt happy for him. He stepped forward to open the wooden box and saw a layer of foam inside and a bed of old cotton batting inside.
"This baby is good. My uncle is very thoughtful. When we get to the dock, we will buy a box of ice cubes to take with us. If we catch good fish, add some ice cubes to the live cabin, so we don't have to worry about not being able to return home in time."
"That's what I think." Brother Li smiled and said, "My uncle heard that we are coming back to buy a boat and work with you. Let us work hard. When he makes money and we buy a big boat, he will also come and build it."
One share."
"That's a good relationship, guys, keep working hard and try to buy a big ship as soon as possible!" Li Changle said with a smile and patted each other.
Brother Li looked at him funny, "I don't know where you learned these weird words every day?"
Brother Li: "I think what A Le said is quite right. We are just like cows and horses. Except for sleeping, we are busy making money. However, we have been working hard for a year and have not seen any money."
Li Changle smiled and said: "How can I put it another way, the three major hardships in the world are punting, forging iron, and grinding tofu.
We are ranked first, do you think it’s okay?”
These days, fishermen in fishing villages are busy going out to sea to make money when the weather is sunny. They can rest at home on rainy days. They are also busy working in the fields and repairing fishing gear.
Even the mules and horses had time to rest, but they seemed to have wound themselves up and could not rest for a moment.
The four of them arrived at the pier. Brother Li and Ah Wei sent the fishing gear to the boat first, while the younger two went to Chen Dong's house to buy ice and some miscellaneous fish for bait.
I had a late night's rest last night, so I didn't have time to go to the river pond to catch fish for bait this morning.
The Panzhen Fishery Cooperative has an icehouse, a nearby seafood shop, and fishing boats that go out to sea a little further away. When you need ice, you can buy it from there.
When boatmen of small fishing boats like Li Changle need ice, they go to the seafood shop to share some. The seafood shop also makes a little profit, which can be regarded as an income.
When the Li Changle brothers passed by Wang Ji Seafood Shop, they happened to meet Wang Mazi who was coming out with a bamboo basket. The guy didn't even dare to look at the brothers. He put down the bamboo basket and walked towards the shop.
Brother Li turned him around and whispered: "Ale, do you think it was him who did those octopuses?"
Li Changle glanced at Wang Mazi, "Probably not, but 80% of it was collected by his family."
Because the bastards who stole the fish sold it for only 10% of the original price. How could unscrupulous purchasers like the Wang family miss such a huge bargain?
"You're right, this guy even dares to steal, he will definitely accept the stolen goods!"
Li Changle nodded, carried the box to Chen Ji, went straight in and put the box on the cabinet.
Chen Dong looked at the popsicle refrigerator he placed on the counter with a curious expression, and joked: "What's wrong, are you planning to switch to selling popsicles?"
Li Changle smiled and said: "Seeing how many people come and go, I plan to set up a stall in front of your door to make a fortune!"
"Oh, you can make a fortune selling popsicles, you can imagine it." Chen Dong curled his lips, "It would be weird to believe you!" He took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them.
Li Changle laughed and said, "Young man, small business can make a lot of money. People who sell melon seeds can become millionaires. Why can't those who sell popsicles do the same?"
"You are making up lyrics for a play!" Chen Dong felt that he was just telling a fantasy.
"Don't listen to A Le's nonsense, I'm here to take care of your business!" Brother Li opened the lid of the refrigerator and said, "Pack ice worth one and a half dollars for us."
"Okay!" Chen Dong asked the worker who came to help to install ice for them. He raised his feet and crossed the long bench to let the two brothers sit down. "Sit down, how about the fish caught on the maiden voyage yesterday?"
"Not bad!" Li Changle walked to the door and pointed at the miscellaneous fish and shrimps, "How do you sell this? It's cheaper. I'll buy it and use it for longline fishing."
Chen Dong glanced at it and said, "Give me a dollar and you take it all."
Li Changle grabbed the bamboo basket and lifted it. He felt that it was at least sixty or seventy pounds. He proudly took out a one-yuan bill and said, "I want it all."
"Ale, why did you buy so much?" Brother Li asked hurriedly, "Fifty cents is enough. We can cast two nets for the bait for the ground cage."
"Second brother, you are too prudent! There are at least sixty kilograms here, which is not even two cents per kilogram!"
"Qingzhan is only three cents a catty, two cents a catty of trash fish, you think it's cheap!" Brother Li couldn't help but said, put away the dollar, took out a handful of cents, counted the five cents and stuffed them into Chen Dong's hand
.
"Ale, take out the net bag and pour half of it into the scale."
"What's the point of weighing it?" Chen Dong raised the bamboo basket, "Here, I'll pour half of it for you."
Li Changle took out his net bag and pulled it away, "The small fish tastes good too. Get some sweet potato powder and flour, add two eggs, fry it in hot oil, and it will be a delicious dish to go with wine."
Brother Li laughed and said: "If you do it like this, the turtle will be worth the price of a turtle."
"Yes, oil is not cheap." Seeing that most of the oil was poured out, Chen Dong quickly picked up the bamboo basket and put it down.
Li Changle stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders as he walked towards the shop, "Did you see an idler like me selling tide and octopus next door yesterday morning?"
Chen Dong turned his head and glared exaggeratedly, "My brother, are you the only one still free? Didn't you put a lot of money in your pocket when you sold the goods? Even I want to change my career and work with you."
When he went to the restaurant to deliver goods, he heard the helper Ah Sheng talk about it several times and asked him if the fisherman who fished for the sea could get good goods every time he went there.
Judging from his envious look, he probably wanted to change his career to sea fishing.
"It's no joke. I went to the beach last night to collect octopuses, and my jar was stolen." Li Changle pursed his lips toward the neighbor, "Did you see anything suspicious?"
"I didn't pay attention!" Chen Dong shook his head and said, "Anyone like that who comes to sell goods always avoids others and goes there secretly."
Li Changle believed what he said, "Okay, if you hear any noise, just give it a shout!"
"Don't worry, if I find out again, I'll tell you right away." Chen Dong said and gave him an elbow, "Brother, if you get some good stuff, send some to me!"
"If it's the same as last time, I will definitely help you find a more generous buyer, and I will earn some agency fees, not too much, just 10% of the total price!"
A seafood store with good products has the right to speak. His family has not received any good products during this period. The big restaurants and seafood dealers in Haimen and Lucheng have almost forgotten about his seafood store.
The pier is close, and sometimes you can’t get good goods in time to send them to the restaurant, so you still have to sell some. At 10% of the total price, one hundred yuan is ten yuan. Li Changle thinks it’s still expensive.
"Five percent, if you are willing to do it, I will send some good products next time."
"Brother, they are all 10%, and some offer more than 10%." Seeing him raise his eyebrows, Chen Dong quickly changed his words, "Okay, okay, five percent is five percent. If you get good goods, you must give them away."
Come on!"
"Don't worry, I will deliver it as promised." Li Changle took the ice box handed over by Ah San and found that a piece of ice worth 50 cents was quite heavy, so he thought it was quite a bargain.
Then I thought about it, now that one dollar and a half can buy a lot of good things, but I thought it was not worth it. I thought that when I got rich, I could sell ice cubes in a cold storage, which would definitely be a good business.
The two brothers came out of Chenji and boarded the boat. Brother Li had already gone back. Chen Yongwei started the fishing boat and slowly sailed away from the pier.
"Awei, let's go fishing in the waters near Huzi Island."
"Huzi Island?" Chen Yongwei looked at him puzzled, "Where is it?"
"Stupid! Huzi just gave us fish yesterday, so you just forgot about them?"
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei slapped his forehead, "Then we'll call it Huzi Island from now on. Brother, are we going to the island to pump out puddles today?"
Li Changle thought that since he brought ice cubes today, he could cast two nets after pumping out the puddles, "It's okay to go up and have a look."
"Ale, hang up the bait first." Brother Li came out carrying a bamboo basket and said.
"Okay, I'll bring the bait over."
Brother Li sat cross-legged on the deck. When he came over with a bucket, the two brothers sat on the deck and started fucking.
The weather was fine and the sea was calm. After the boat reached the open sea, I looked around and saw the open sea with sparkling waves and rippling blue waves. Looking down, I saw that the dark water was bottomless.
Chen Yongwei increased his power and drove towards the waters of Aocao Island. Ten minutes later, the fishing boat arrived near Aocao Island, and they saw the buoy of their own ground cage.
Chen Yongwei slowed down the speed, and the fishing boat slowly sailed past the Groove Island. Li Changle and Li Erge began to release long lines. After placing three rows of long lines, the boat also arrived near the island.
Brother Li dropped the anchor, and Chen Yongwei jumped out of the boat holding the cable and tied it up. The three of them carried the fishing gear and walked up to the island towards the puddle.
Li Changle looked at the densely packed oysters on the steep and sharp rocks and thought of the delicious pure natural oyster sauce.
"Brother, next time I come, I will bring my sister-in-law and the others and pry these oysters back to make oyster sauce. Then I will send them to Lucheng to sell to my mother-in-law."
"It's not worth it. Prying off such a big oyster can cost three cents each. Each oyster like this can only have one or two pieces of meat at most. Ten oysters only produce one pound of oyster meat. It takes dozens of pounds of oysters to make one pound of oyster sauce.
Meat, how much do you sell it for per pound?”
Li Changle did the math and found that the cost of a pound of oyster sauce is more than ten yuan. Including labor costs, a pound of oyster sauce costs at least more than 20 yuan. People who can afford more than 20 yuan to buy a pound of oyster sauce these days will probably spend more than 20 yuan a pound.
It's rare to encounter a few.
The three of them walked along the reef to the location that Brother Li mentioned yesterday. After looking around, they found that there was no big puddle at all, only a shallow puddle that was larger than a bathtub.
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Li Changle wiped his sweat and said, "My eldest brother, this is so unreliable!"
Brother Li: "It's been a few years ago, maybe he remembered it wrong?"
Chen Yongwei: "Are we going in the other direction? Are we going in the wrong direction?"
"Impossible, elder brother took us here yesterday." Brother Li climbed to a higher rock and looked around, then shook his head at the two of them, "Either go back to cast a net, or go to the beach to have a look?
"
Li Changle was not interested in casting a net. He thought of seeing a turtle one day when he was picking up fish, and said, "Go down and have a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll dig up the turtle eggs and sell them in a restaurant to make money."
Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Ah Sheng said, those people in the restaurant like to eat food that strengthens yang and nourishes the kidneys. Their turtle eggs cost 50 cents each!"
