Chapter 192 Getting rich
Chen Dong felt that he, as a fisherman, was better at calculating than he, a fish seller, wanted to accept it, but he was a little unwilling to accept it. One kilogram increased by a dime, ten or eight kilograms, that was several thousand kilograms, and he would earn hundreds less.
Blocks!
"Brother, if we don't do this, one pound will rise by five points..."
Li Changle was so tired that he didn't want to grind his teeth with him, "A Dong, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. I sell big pomfret over two kilograms to a restaurant for one and a half yuan. The price I ask you is already two yuan less than what you pay for it at the restaurant.
A pound of horn."
"The price the restaurant pays for the goods from me is a dime cheaper than the price from you." He raised his hand with difficulty and patted his shoulder, "Brother, you have made a lot of money."
After thinking about it this way, he wanted to open a seafood business of his own.
Chen Dong didn't expect that he knew all the market prices, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "Okay, it will be the price you said." He then added, "I have to make a phone call to find out the price of the red anchovies before I can give it to you.
Accurate letter."
The prices of tuna and mackerel are pretty good, but red anchovies cost a lot of yuan per pound! You have to inquire carefully.
"Okay, you're busy!"
Before Chen Dong landed, he was stopped by Old Man Jin again, "A Dong, we have been cooperating for several years. My fish must be priced at the same price as Ale's. I will not agree to favoring one over the other!"
Chen Dong hurriedly said: "Uncle Jin, don't worry, I guarantee the same price as Ale's."
When Old Man Jin saw what he said, he felt relieved and knelt down to continue sorting the fish. Chen Dong also hurriedly inquired about the price.
Li Changle sat down on the deck and continued to sort the fish. One after another, fishing boats returned, and two of them were also fishing in the same sea area as them. Both boats caught three to four thousand kilograms of fish.
The fishing boats that were not operating in that area looked at the fish caught on their boats. They originally thought that today's harvest was not bad, but they couldn't be happy anymore.
The happiest people were Lao Chen and Lao Li, who hurriedly dropped what they were doing and went to negotiate prices with their regular customers.
Wang Mazi and his father looked at each other, stepped onto the Lai family's fishing boat, and pulled the Lai family brothers together to murmur.
At this time, Li Xiaoyang arrived with Li's father.
When the old man saw that they had indeed encountered a large school of fish, he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he looked at the mountains of fish caught on the deck. "Aping, you guys eat first."
"Okay, just so my stomach is growling with hunger."
Li Changle hurriedly took off his gloves, went ashore, washed his hands and opened the rice basket. Only then did he realize that his hands were so sore that he couldn't even hold the bowl. Fortunately, he had a spoon. The four of them put the bowls on the cart and sat on the bamboo
Start eating right on the basket.
Lai Laoer came over with his rice bowl in hand, "Ale, for those big fish in your family, how much per pound will the Adong family give you?"
Li Changle swallowed the food in his mouth, "A Dong said he wanted to ask for the price, but he hasn't given the price yet. Where is yours?"
"I only caught four tuna weighing 50 to 60 kilograms, as well as a few Spanish mackerel and ghost fish. The tuna and the six-pointed tuna given by Guitou Lao Li and the big mackerel seven-pointed."
Lao Er came forward and whispered, "Your family has cooperation with a restaurant. Do you think this price is a loss?"
Li Changle remembered that the tuna he sold to a restaurant last time was sold per pound per piece. The Li family made a profit of four cents per pound when it was resold. Of course they lost money.
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. He would definitely not tell the truth and start a feud with someone. "I have never sold such a big fish, and I don't know the market price."
"You don't know either? I thought you were lucky and cooperated with a restaurant, so you knew the price of big fish!"
"I've only caught rice fish twice, but I've never caught anything else."
"Lai Lao Er, how long has my Ah Le been working? You don't know, and he doesn't even know!" Li Er Ge said with a smile.
"Yes, big fish are not often encountered."
Lai Laoer hesitated for a moment and then said, "Wang Mazi came on the boat just now to find me and asked me to sell him big fish. For each species, he would add a dime to Lao Li's. I was afraid that his scale would not be enough.
I hesitated and didn’t agree.”
Li Changle smiled and said, "You know my relationship with his family, you have to make your own decision on this matter."
"Haha!" Lao Er laughed awkwardly, "That's right, I'd better talk to Lao Li."
After Lai Lao Er left, Li Er Ge said gloatingly: "There are so many boats out to sea today, but Wang Mazi's family doesn't even have a fish seller. I think it won't be long before they close down."
"It's better to turn it off!" Li Changle put down the spoon, wiped his mouth, "Go to work!"
More than a dozen people, big and small, old and young, worked together, and soon they loaded twenty or thirty baskets, leaving no room to walk on the boat.
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li walked onto the springboard carrying a basket of fish, "Ale, there are not enough bamboo baskets, and your hands are weak. We will send the fish to A Dong's house. You can stay there and weigh them before sending the bamboo basket over."
Li Changle wanted to help, but unfortunately he was powerless, so he had to step aside, "Carry over half a catty or more than one catty first, and leave part of the fish under half a catty to dry."
"Number of them!" Sister-in-law Li's sister-in-law came ashore. Mother Li and Zhou Ruonan also carried the bamboo basket and walked towards the shore.
The cart was soon filled with bamboo baskets. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pulled the cart to Chenji, and Ah San and another boy came to help move it in.
Li Changle said hello to Chen Dong, called Akun, and told him that he had got a lot of big stuff and a lot of silver pomfret.
After hearing this, Akun asked him to wait, and he immediately went to the pier to take a small sampan back to Tuxiaqiao, and drove to the pier to see the goods.
Li Changle wished he could pull it in person and save money on buying ice cubes to keep it fresh.
Chen Dong waited for him to finish the call and took a list and put it in front of him, "I asked about the price of the big fish. Are you satisfied with the price?"
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Several bosses are also interested in your horse mackerel and those red ganache. Do you want to hear their prices?"
Li Changle shook his head, "No, I told Uncle Kun last time that if I get good goods, I'll keep them for him. You have to be honest."
Chen Dong didn't expect that Li Changle, who was always competing with him for every penny he spent, would say something like this, "You're right, the fishermen's spit is like a nail."
Li Changle smiled, picked up the list and looked at it, tuna and mackerel weighing more than thirty kilograms cost seventy-eight yuan each, red anchovies weighing more than ten kilograms cost five yuan and eighty yuan, and those weighing more than fifteen kilograms cost six yuan and a half...
After looking at it, Li Changle nodded and said, "Okay, let's take this price."
Chen Dong looked at him in surprise, "Brother, I was going to ask you to call and ask about the prices at other purchase points, but you won't bargain anymore."
"I still have to leave some profit for you!" Li Changle pocketed the order, "Bring me a pen and paper, and I'll write down the weight."
Chen Dong found a notepad for him, then went to ask Ah San and his assistant Ah Qiu to move the bamboo baskets to the scale, and stacked ten baskets in a row before starting to fiddle with the weights.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
"Nine hundred and eighty-five pounds from one pound to two pounds."
Li Changle hurriedly took notes and took notes, and then he received five baskets of more than one kilogram, another total of five hundred and fifteen kilograms, and then two more kilograms...
Ah San and Ah Qiu moved the weighed fish into the cold storage for storage, loaded the bamboo baskets onto pallets, and sent them to the bow of the ship for loading.
A group of more than a dozen people worked until nine o'clock to sort out all the fish. Silver pomfret weighing more than half a kilogram and weighing less than two kilograms were also weighed.
There were also two baskets of Pipi shrimps. Li Changle felt that the price of three cents per catty was too cheap, so he simply took them back, cooked them, peeled them, dried them and sold them.
There were two baskets of silver pomfret weighing more than two kilograms, and half a basket of three kilograms. These were extremely rare and large items, and Li Changle kept them all for A Kun.
The tuna and mackerel totaled 1,200 pounds and were sold for 840 pounds.
One hundred and fifty-six kilograms of red sweet fish weighing more than ten kilograms were sold for 904, and one hundred and twenty-five kilograms of red sweet fish weighing more than fifteen kilograms were sold for eight hundred and twelve.
There were about twenty baskets weighing less than half a catty, nearly two thousand catties. Li Changle sold one thousand catties to the Adong family and kept the rest for drying.
There were also crabs, cuttlefish, eels, groupers and some miscellaneous fish hauled up by the first and last nets, which also weighed about a hundred kilograms. Some of the larger ones were picked out, and the rest were sold to Chen Ji.
.
Chen Dong fiddled with the abacus, "Crabs, cuttlefish... a total of four hundred and fifty, and a thousand catties of small silver pomfret, a total of two hundred and fifty yuan."
"The medium pomfret weighing more than half a catty weighs 3,750 jin, 3,000 yuan, and the large pomfret weighs 1,560 jin, 2,028 yuan, totaling 8,240 yuan."
He looked at Li Changle and said, "Brother, we received too many good goods today. I'll send you a note first, and I'll give it to you after I withdraw the money tomorrow."
"Okay, you can send it to my house tomorrow." When Li Changle was weighing the scale, he made a rough guess. Now that he knew the exact amount, he was very happy.
He has earned enough money to build a house today. He can keep the beads he likes and make jewelry for Anan in the future.
After Brother Li, Second Brother Li and Chen Yongwei heard the money count, their faces turned red with excitement, and their sore hands suddenly felt less painful.
The young and old of the Li family and the grandsons of the Chen family were all grinning from ear to ear with joy. Li Xiaoyang ran outside happily, "I'll tell my mother and aunt to go."
The Jin family and the other two families were also very happy. They also had several thousand catties of silver pomfret, and one or two hundred catties were huge items!
The ship bosses who were waiting to be weighed all looked at Li Changle with envy, "My dear, your family still has so many large goods. This trip, your family will become a household worth ten thousand yuan!"
Upon seeing this, Father Li said happily: "Now it's good. When Uncle Kun comes to take the fish away and sell the money, you brothers will share it among the four of you, and you will have the money to build the house."
"Yes, yes, we are still worried about the lack of money to build a house. Yesterday when we passed by the Master's Palace, we even bowed a few times to ask for the Master's blessing!"
While talking, Mother Li and Grandma Chen bowed several times in the direction of the Master's Palace!
Li Changle looked at those envious eyes, rolled his eyes, pulled Brother Li and said: "Brother, we have sold more than 8,000 yuan. You said, how much money will be made today for the Zhou family's two iron boats and Mr. Wang's big boat?"
How much?"
Brother Li smiled happily, "I only know that they must earn much more than me, at least twice."
"It's less than twice as much. The Zhou brothers drive a large boat of more than ten or twenty meters. Your small wooden boat, which is only six meters long, is not at the same level as them."
"Boss Wang is far behind the Zhou brothers. It has to be a tin boat. My family is at a disadvantage today because we don't have a trawl net or a seine net. We have to quickly install the trawl net for the money we sold today."
"Yes, let's set out to load the trawl tomorrow morning!"
