Chapter 77: This guy is so cunning

With the same two hundred jars, the harvest on a typhoon day is more than usual.
Chen Yongwei even said whimsically: "Brother, if the typhoon has no destructive power, it will be a good typhoon day. If you catch more fish, there will be more good things." "What a beautiful idea!" After Li Changle said this, he suddenly remembered the piece of snail jade and took it from his trouser pocket.
He took it out and handed it over, "Look, I picked up a piece of this thing." Chen Yongwei took it and took a look at it, then handed it back to him, "It looks pretty good, pick it up and give it to Xiaohai Xiaozhou to play with!"
"I won't let them play with it." Li Changle tossed it in his hand a few times and said happily, "When you have some spare money, find someone to polish it for your sister-in-law to make sample jewelry." Chen Yongwei remembered what grandma often said to him.
, about selling the golden lilacs from the dowry in order to build a house, he said:
"Same for you, what's so strange about a piece of broken stone? Even my grandma likes gold jewelry. When you get rich, you should give her some gold jewelry. When she wears it, others will know how much money you have earned.
Made a lot of money."
"Of course you have to buy gold jewelry, but good stones are more valuable than gold. Don't you know that?" "A piece of broken stone is not worth a lot of money. It's not pearl agate."
"Forget it if you don't believe me, let's get to work!" Li Changle put away the stone, went over to pull up the fishing rope, and continued to dig out the octopus. It didn't take much effort to finish the last jar.
Li Changle returned to the shore with the bucket, poured the octopus in the bucket into his backpack, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and lit it, and puffed away against the big rock. Only then did he realize that the tide had receded a lot.
When I thought about going out, my sister-in-law said she was coming to fish for sea fishing. She was worried that Zhou Ruonan would come too, so she hurriedly packed up the catch and left after Chen Yongwei came ashore.
All the rattle snails, flower snails, and shellfish were poured into the basket together with the sea urchins, and the sole skin, yellow crab, white crab, and anchovy were put into the bucket. Looking at the golden big yellow croaker in the bucket, I suddenly felt
I remembered that people in the old days called gold bars yellow croakers, and I thought this metaphor was quite vivid.
Chen Yongwei came over with a bucket. When he saw the octopus in the basket, he couldn't close his mouth with laughter. "Brother, we have a good harvest today. When we get back, we will bring all the jars at home. The eight caught in six hundred jars will be harvested."
Clawfish, I’ll have to carry two more sacks to put it in when I see it.”
Li Changle lit a cigarette and handed it to him, "I'm worried that your sister-in-law will follow you out, so pack up and go home quickly."
?????
"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei nodded happily, holding a cigarette in his mouth, covering the backpack with a sack, and then tied it with a hemp rope to prevent the octopus from escaping.
The two of them walked back carrying baskets on their backs, a bucket in one hand, and a sack with fishing gear in the other. They didn't see Zhou Ruonan and his two sisters-in-law all the way. They only saw flashlight lights everywhere on the tidal flat that couldn't be seen.
, there were more people visiting the sea after the typhoon than during the day.
Li Changle feels that it is more comfortable to go fishing in the sea at night in summer, because the sun during the day is so hot that it can burn off a layer of people's oily skin. "My dear, this big yellow croaker must weigh eight or nine kilograms, right?"
Chen Dong's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. When they turned around, they saw him shining a flashlight into the bucket held by Chen Yongwei.
Li Changle looked at his bucket and saw that it contained blue crabs, sand crabs and dragonflies. "Eight or nine pounds is of no use. It's not worth as much as the big blue crab you caught." Thinking about it, tens of thousands. A piece of large yellow croaker can only be sold for a few yuan these days.
"Nothing compared to you two," Chen Dong looked at the backpacks on their shoulders. "The buckets in the backpacks are full. People who meet you on Taohai are saying that you picked up hundreds of purple sea urchins." …”
Li Changle stared, "Damn it! I think tomorrow, someone will say that we picked up thousands of sea urchins." "The more the merrier, no matter how many sea urchins you pick up, I can eat them all." Chen Dong said with a smile. It turned out that he was waiting for me here!
Li Changle looked at him, suspecting that this guy was waiting for them here after hearing the news.
Thinking about his cooperation with Phoenix Restaurant, the Chen family will hear about it sooner or later. The restaurant only wants good products, and sales are limited. Take Wangchao and Octopus, for example, when all the four hundred jars at home are put into the sea , a total of six hundred.
Two hundred jars last time weighed more than seventy kilograms, and six hundred jars. Even if you go there every other day, on a good day, you will get at least two to three hundred kilograms of octopus. Last time I went to sell octopus. , Uncle Kun said that next time it would cost up to thirty kilograms, and ordinary fish would have to be sold to a seafood shop.
He didn't know the price of sea urchins, but Wangchao and Octopus sold them once in a restaurant. The seafood shop charged 2 cents, while the restaurant charged 40.50 cents. The price difference between the two was indeed too big. Of course, people must make a profit from doing business. But the price they sold it to the restaurant was more than 45 cents.
Chen Dong was speechless when he saw him. He remembered the rumors in the village that he and Awei had obtained snow eels. He had waited for a long time, but they didn't send them to his house to sell. He also thought that Li Changle used to be a gangster. He didn't go to Panzhen if he had nothing to do. Just going to Tuxiaqiao is different from the unsophisticated sea-hunting people in the village. Maybe he has found another seafood shop to cooperate with him now!
"Ale, you also know that our prices are the most reasonable. The seven-headed ones cost one dime and a half, so I'll give you two cents each. The five-headed ones cost three cents each, so I'll give you three cents and a half."
Li Changle looked at him, "Let's not talk about sea urchins for now. Let's take tide watching as an example. We will sell you one for two cents. The big restaurants in the town and the seafood shop in Haimen will give you a higher price than what you paid. Much higher."
Chen Dong shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, Wangchao Liangjiao is the same price. The whole seafood store in Tuxiaqiao is the same price."
Chen Dong then said, "Ale, you are retail investors, and the price for selling it will definitely be different from that of the big ship when it returns home. If you don't believe it, just send it to ask for the price."
"I know this." Li Changle smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I have sold my catch to other buying houses in the past two days, and their prices were more than double yours." "Of course, you took it. We have to make money by selling, but the catch we worked so hard to collect can only be sold for so little money, and the effort is not proportional to the harvest."
Chen Dong laughed after hearing this, "A Le, the one who paid you a high price for the tide eels, are you going to the store that sells snow eels? Let me tell you, if you have a few tide eels, others will pay double the price. Snow eels The eel's profit can completely make up for it."
"A few are looking at the tide!" Li Changle raised the corners of his lips and said to Chen Yongwei, who was silent at the side, "Ah Wei, put down the backpack for Adong to see."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei put down the backpack, untied the sack from the backpack, and said to Chen Dong, who looked puzzled: "He Dong, you see, we just found it. There are more than thirty Wangchao. The octopus weighs several dozen kilograms."
Looking at the tide, he deliberately underreported it because he had to keep half of it to send to the Phoenix Restaurant. "How long did it take? You two are so good at shipping."
Chen Dong looked at the octopuses in his basket and the tide in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes. There were so many of them, and they looked more like they were caught in a fish pond with a net.
Chen Yongwei looked at A Dong with a surprised look on his face, looking silly and happy at the side!
"It will be more in two days. That day we sold them more than 30 tide-watching octopuses and more than 60 pounds of octopus." Li Changle paused, "Of course, we don't expect you to pay the same price as them. But the price you gave is indeed too low.”
"In this case, Wang Chao, I will give you two cents and two..." Chen Dong looked at Li Changle's slightly raised lips, hurriedly handed over a cigarette, and changed his words, "In this case, I will give you two cents and four, eight The clawfish is two cents and a half per catty, the price cannot be higher."
Li Changle took the cigarette he handed over, "A Dong, you are still insincere! In this way, in the Wangtide Triangle, the octopus will be sold at the price you said. If you think it is okay, I will send the catch to your house to sell it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just go to the trouble of selling it myself.”
"Also, other people don't have as much fresh Wangchao and octopus as we do. I'll sell them in the town. I can sell them for at least four or five cents each. Octopuses are no problem for three or four cents a pound." .”
As he said this, he suddenly felt that this was an easy path. There were many nouveau riche these days, as well as the employees of those units in the town. They neither had to save money to buy a house nor save money to pay for their children's interest classes, but they were still willing to eat and drink.
Chen Dong looked at the octopuses that kept escaping from the baskets on their backs, and thought of them delivering them to restaurants and selling them for 5 cents to watch the tide.
If you accept the triangle, you will earn a dime less for one, and you will earn several yuan less for dozens of them. But if you don’t accept it, you will earn even more less. But this guy A Le is too cunning. If he agrees readily this time Next time for other goods, he will definitely ask for a higher price.
He raised his head and pretended to look hard at Li Changle, "Ah Le, if you take the triangle for a pound, I won't make any profit at all..."
"It's not that there's no profit, it's that there's less profit." Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "As for the price I said, you think about it yourself. I have to go back and change out of my wet pants, otherwise I will get rheumatism in the future. The money I earn now will not be worth it." When I get old, I can only use it for medical treatment."
When Chen Dong saw the two of them mentioning their belongings and leaving, he quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, at the price you said, you have to sell me those sea urchins, right?"
Li Changle put down his backpack, "I can sell it to you, but I can't sell it to you at the price you said. A triangle for seven heads and a nickel for five heads. If you agree, we can give it to your house when we get home and change our pants." Your asking price is too harsh!" Chen Dong's eyes widened, "No, the price is too high, it has doubled. If this happens, I will not make any profit..." "
"You know whether you are making a profit or not." Li Changle glanced at him sideways, "Tomorrow I will carry my mother-in-law down the bridge to sell. Do you believe it or not, I can sell seven of such good purple sea urchins for 50 cents each?" He said I suspect that Chen Ji made at least more than 100 yuan from the giant flower dragon and rice fish he sold to his family last time.
It's easy to make money by doing business these days, which makes him excited.
Chen Yongwei's heart was beating wildly. He didn't expect Li Changle to dare to raise the price so much. He turned to look at Chen Dong excitedly, wondering if he would agree?
