Chapter 96: Here comes the freeloader
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei got in the car and sat down for a while before falling asleep. When they reached the street of Phoenix Restaurant, they were woken up by Zhou Ruonan and got out of the car with blue crabs.
Sister-in-law Li looked at Li Changle who was following Chen Yongwei and said to Zhou Ruonan: "I still remember that the first night when dad was bitten by a snake, Ale argued with you and asked you to give him money to go with brother-in-law Wang Mazi. Take goods.
We all went to bed at night and he still hadn't come back. When he found out the next day that my father had been bitten by a snake, he seemed to have grown up overnight. He said that there were many snakes in the cave and insisted that my father go to the hospital to find a doctor."
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said, "My father said that people are different. Some people will face the difficulties when encountering bad things, while some people will only blame themselves for their bad luck. God is unfair. Ah Le should be the former type of person."
"Educated people speak differently." Seeing that the minibus had arrived outside the fish market street, Mrs. Li hurriedly called the driver, and the two of them got off the bus and walked towards the fish market street.
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei arrived outside the restaurant and happened to see Ah Kun riding a tricycle coming out of the alley. They rushed forward and stopped him. "Uncle Kun, we got dozens of kilograms of cream crabs, five or six kilograms of butter crabs, and three More than ten kilograms of blue crabs, can you accept them all?" "How many crabs did you say you got?"
Akun's voice was a few degrees louder. He couldn't believe his ears. When did Taobao become so easy to shop for?
If this is the case, why should he work? Wouldn't it be better to go fishing with A Le and do business without capital. "That's what happened..." Li Changle told him what happened last night.
After hearing this, Ah Kun patted his shoulder with envy, "You're so lucky, you're so lucky. Uncle Kun even wants to quit his job and go fishing with you." Li Changle smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Kun, please don't. You're laughing at me, if I had your ability, even if there was a boat for me, I wouldn't go."
The honest man Chen Yongwei also took up the conversation, "Uncle Kun, Taohai is very hard. My brother and I only slept for two hours last night. My eyes hurt so much now." "The pain is really hard." "You have good luck and it's easy to make money." Akun said, looking at the rubber bucket he was carrying, and picked up a crab and looked at it, "Yes, it's a red crab." Li Changle smiled and said, "There are cream crabs. More than 70 kilograms, and more than 30 kilograms of green crabs, can you handle them all here?"
He thought that if the restaurant ran out of supplies, he would quickly pick them out and let Ah Wei sell them at the fish market.
Akun smiled and said: "Yes, you are very lucky. Our boss will receive a group of Hong Kong businessmen coming from there to invest tomorrow. I just plan to go to the seafood store to see if there are any good crabs?"
After hearing this, Li Changle felt happy, "Uncle Kun, don't worry, we have selected these crabs at home, and the good ones will be sent to you here, and the worse ones will be picked out for my sister-in-law and my wife to send to the market. Sold."
"It's not our first time dealing with you, so I can rest assured when you do things." Akun said, pushing the tricycle to a stop outside the restaurant, and leading the two of them toward the kitchen. "The butter crab only weighs five or six pounds, right?"
"Yeah! There are two that are not very good. I didn't bring them. These are the best quality butter crabs. It will definitely be a face to entertain distinguished guests." After hearing this, Akun nodded with satisfaction and looked at it again. The household items the two brought with them, "Where are the tide-watching and Buddha's hand snails?"
"Wang Chao, we didn't have time to collect the goods last night. After we sold the goods, the tide has almost receded to the place where we went to the ground cage. I asked Ah Wei to go back first, collect the ground cage and deliver it to you."
"This is the best." Akun said and asked, "Where is the Buddha's hand snail? Can you get it this time?"
The boss ordered last night to purchase about 100 kilograms of Buddha's hand snails as yesterday. This time he must show those Hong Kong businessmen that the mainland also has seafood that they say comes from hell. Li Changle thought that he was in the limelight again today and wanted to follow There must be a lot of people shopping for goods behind him. If the price is not right, he really doesn't want to take the risk.
"Uncle Kun, you know I'm waiting for money. If it wasn't really hard to find money, how could I not make any money at all?"
"Our boss said that the price will be doubled from last time. Just do Uncle Kun a favor and give it a try. It's too dangerous." "Okay, Uncle Kun, wait while I go and help me." After my wife finished selling the green crabs and crabs that she picked out, I went home and went to the island to have a look."
"Are the blue crabs and crabs from your wife much worse than the ones you brought?" Akun wished that he would go back to pick snails as soon as he sold out the goods. The main reason was that he had visited several seafood shops yesterday. No one's bergamot snails are as good as those sent by Li Changle.
The ones they picked out were about the same size as the ones he sent. The taste in my mouth always felt a little bit different. "It's not much different, it's just that it's a little smaller. Even if it's a seafood delivery, I'm sure it's not the same." If you don’t tell me, just accept it.”
"Weigh the ones here first. I'll go with you to take a look later. If the difference is not much different, I'll accept it. You go back to collect Buddha's conchs quickly."
"If that's the case, I'd be very grateful to Uncle Kun." Li Changle took out the crippled crabs and handed them to him, "These are the crabs whose claws were crushed last night. They are all good crabs. If you don't mind, take them back." Add some food for Auntie."
Akun took it with a smile, "You are so polite to me. You don't mind giving it to me every day."
"Uncle Kun, to be honest, I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart when I send you such a crab. The main reason is that the economy is difficult now. I can't wait to break every penny into two cents." Li Changle said seriously, "When I earn it If you pay a lot of money, I will give you the best butter crabs and red oil crabs for you to eat until you don’t want to eat anymore.”
"You are so lucky, it is only a matter of time before you make big money. Uncle Kun is just waiting for that day!"
"I'd like to lend you some good advice!" Li Changle took out the red oil crabs from his net bag. "Look at these red oil crabs. My wife said that even the seams between the bones are filled with paste."
"Not bad! Not bad!" A Kun nodded repeatedly after looking at it, "For eight yuan a pound, it would be great if you had another ten or so pounds." Li Changle shrugged, "No, I just spent a night searching with a few pairs of eyes. I found so many good ones."
"You should be satisfied, kid. Some people have never encountered a crab moving once in their life."
They arrived a little early, and the kitchen helpers hadn't arrived yet. Akun took Li Changle in, took out the scale, and started to weigh it.
The cream crab is seventy-five pounds and six taels, three yuan per pound, two hundred and twenty-six eight anise, the blue crab is thirty-four pounds, one dollar and sixty-one pounds, fifty-four four, and the red oil crab is six pounds and one tael, forty-eight Eight yuan, which adds up to exactly three hundred and three.
Li Changle happily took the thick stack of banknotes from A Kun, took out ten yuan and handed it over, "Uncle Kun, thank you for your care."
Fortunately, yesterday I asked Ah Nan to take apart the girdle and sew an anti-theft pocket. Otherwise, with so much money, I would really be worried about being targeted by three hands. Ah Kun happily took it and said, "Yes, you are a generous boy. , it will definitely work out in the future.”
"Thank you, Uncle Kun."
Chen Yongwei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He helped Akun take the crabs into the kitchen, pour them into the pool to raise, then got on his tricycle and walked towards the fish market...
Over there, Zhou Ruonan and Mrs. Li arrived at the street selling seafood. They saw all kinds of seafood and aquatic products placed from the street to the end of the street early in the morning. Zhou Ruonan had never been to the market to sell seafood, so he followed As Mrs. Li walked behind, she kept her ears open to listen to the prices quoted by the vendors on both sides of the street when selling their goods.
The two sisters walked from the street to the end of the street, and finally found an empty space. They put down their net bags, caught the crabs inside and put them in the bucket, waiting for customers to choose. "Sister-in-law, I just heard those vendors say, cream crabs The price is three yuan and a half per catty, and the blue crabs are two yuan per catty. I think their products are not much different from ours."
"Really? I was just looking for a stall and didn't pay attention to what they were saying. I just heard voices buzzing from both sides."
"I followed you and paid attention." Zhou Ruonan looked at the fresh food stall in front, "If there is a stall and there are people, it is still more cost-effective to sell it by yourself." "Yes, one pound is several cents, two pounds is several cents. It’s worth one day’s wages for us.”
At this time, a woman walked to the bucket, looked at it, squatted down and picked up a crab, "How much does it cost per pound?"
"Three dollars and a half a pound." Zhou Ruonan blurted out, and stepped forward with a red face, "I just caught it last night, it's fresh! If you want it, it's three dollars, forty and a half pounds." "What's the point of five cents? , three yuan and three, if you sell them, I will pick three." The woman raised her head and glanced at her, feeling that she didn't look like a seafood seller at all.
Sister-in-law Li saw that Zhou Ruonan's ears were turning red, and she stepped forward with a smile, "Three dollars and four, we just arrived, you point to the best one and pick it."
The woman nodded, knelt down and picked out three crabs. After weighing them, they weighed one pound and nine taels. Zhou Ruonan generously wiped off the six cents, and the woman happily paid and left with the basket.
Zhou Ruonan happily took the warm six yuan and four cents, "No wonder my mother-in-law said that earning a living wage is not as good as the money she makes from setting up a stall selling popsicles." "It's better to be an educated person, you can tell I know how to keep my head down. Stall..."
"Where did you come from? Who allowed you to set up a stall and sell things here?" A middle-aged man wearing a red cloth armband from the market management kicked the bucket and said, "Move it quickly."
Sister-in-law Li stepped forward and said, "Why? I've sold seafood here several times, but I've never heard that you can't set up a stall here. If you want to charge health fees, I'll just pay it." She occasionally comes to set up a stall to sell fresh goods. I heard those who set up stalls say that if you come to sell things and pay two cents for the sanitation fee, you can set up.
The middle-aged man looked at her arrogantly, "Can't you understand people or something? The whole street here is under my jurisdiction. You are not allowed to move without my consent." Damn it, country bumpkins are country bumpkins. He doesn't understand the rules at all and he dares to come to town to sell things.
"Brother Shui, you two country bumpkins, why are you talking nonsense to them? Just drive them away."
A black-faced young man came over with a cry, and aggressively kicked over the bucket of blue crabs, causing the blue crabs in the bucket to scatter on the floor. "What's wrong, these two women were targeted by these two idiots. "The people running the stalls next to me began to whisper in disgust and anger.
