Chapter 101 Sell at a high price
Baskets were weighed in turn, and everyone around them craned their necks to see if there were any other good products?
They were just disappointed. What followed were some common items, but the 55-pound giant anchovy was worth talking about for a long time.
After collecting the documents, the family of three happily walked home. When Ah Cai called later and a buyer came, they could go to the dock again.
Along the way, they were also discussing how much money would be appropriate to sell it for.
Ye Yaodong is not sure how much this fish can be sold at this moment. Anyway, it just depends on the situation.
"The discussion now is just a discussion. When someone comes over to see how much they bid, we can just ask him to increase it depending on the situation."
"That's right, we don't know how much it will cost."
"This fish is counting on its isinglass."
The family walked home in the light rain while talking...
When they almost reached the door of their home, the rain stopped, and the originally dark sky suddenly became clear again. The sky washed by the rain looked extra blue and extra clean, as if all the haze had been washed away.
Because of heavy rain, work at the homestead was temporarily suspended to take shelter. It was only around 4 o'clock. After the weather cleared, everyone started moving again.
After Ye's mother got some food for the father and son, she went to the homestead without touching the ground.
After Ye Yaodong and Ye's father took a bath and had a meal, before they could rest for a while, Ah Cai's eldest son came over and asked them to go to the dock.
Ye Yaodong walked out lazily, shirtless and holding his clothes, "It's really fast!"
"After all, it's quite rare. When selling large yellow croaker before, it came very quickly. Let's go and have a look."
They hurried out of the dock again.
What Ye Yaodong didn't expect was that it was his old acquaintance Hong Wenle who came. Looking at a shiny motorcycle with mud on its tires parked next to him, no wonder he came so quickly.
Hong Wenle also recognized him and raised his eyebrows at him, "Huh? Is that you?"
"Haha~ Boss Hong is here to buy giant anchovy?"
"Well, someone down there just said that someone here caught a giant anchovy weighing more than 55 kilograms. I was free and came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Ah Cai also smiled and stepped forward and said, "It turns out that Ah Dong knows Mr. Hong."
"I've seen it."
"Is this fish yours?" Hong Wenle said to Ye Yaodong. He had just come over and had already seen the fish.
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "I caught it in the afternoon. It is very rare for this mullet to grow to such a big size. The big fish maw in its belly is a good thing. It is very good for the elderly, children and pregnant women, especially like this
It’s a big one and very rare. If Boss Hong buys it back, whether he eats it himself, makes a whole fish feast, or gives it away, it will be more honorable.”
"How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Haha, Boss Hong knows his stuff. We fishermen are risking their lives by living on the sea. You will definitely not let me suffer, right? There was a strong man in our village who fell into the sea this afternoon..." said
At this point, the smile on Ye Yaodong's face faded a little and he stopped talking.
"When I first entered the village, I heard at the entrance of the village that fishermen are really not easy, so let's do this, sell this fish to me for 500."
Father Ye's eyes widened in surprise, "Five...five hundred?"
"Well, it's quite a lot. It's also because the fish maw inside is valuable and it's hard to get such a big fish, otherwise the fish wouldn't be worth the price."
Originally, the bigger the giant mullet was, the more valuable it was.
Ye Yaodong also agreed with a smile. As expected, the young master from a wealthy family is straightforward and not short of money.
Several pairs of eyes narrowed in joy at the same time and looked at Hong Wenle, waiting for him to pay, but he put his hands in his pockets and did not respond. Instead, he was confused about their expressions?
"what?"
"Uh... give me money!"
Hong Wenle suddenly realized, "Oh, wait a minute, wait for Wang Maoquan to come and ask him to give it. He is lagging behind on his bicycle and hasn't arrived yet."
"oh."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Not long after, Ye Yaodong saw the dog-looking middle-aged man he had seen at the entrance of Hongsheng Hotel. He came over on a 28-inch bicycle, with a young young man sitting behind him.
The young man jumped off the back seat before the bicycle stopped, and walked up to Hong Wenle to flatter him, "Brother Le, your motorcycle is so fast, the way it whizzes by is so cool..."
It didn't matter that he jumped. Wang Maoquan, who was riding a bicycle, was affected by the impact of the body shaking and the front of the bicycle becoming unstable. This was a gravel road. His short stature made an emergency brake and wanted to get off the 28 big-bar bicycle, but was blocked by the person in front of the bicycle.
The big bar stuck in the crotch.
Hiss~
He took a breath of air, covered his crotch with both hands, and fell directly onto the gravel-covered dirt road without even releasing the pedal brake.
Seeing Father Ye's heart twitching, he felt very distressed. It was such a waste to throw a good bicycle on the ground like this.
Hong Wenle laughed loudly when he saw it, "Wang Maoquan, why are you panicking? You are not afraid that it will be damaged and cannot be used."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy, jumping up and down was so funny.
The younger boy held back his laughter and hurriedly ran forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, Uncle Quan, are you okay? Let me ride back and take you."
"Rolling, rolling, rolling~"
He tightened his crotch, still covering it with his hands, and slowly moved to Hong Wenle's side with a painful expression, "Young master, have you seen the fish?"
"Look, buy it, pay for it."
"Hey, okay, how much is it?" He squatted there with his legs crossed and took out the wallet in his pocket...
"500 yuan."
The hands counting the money trembled, and he raised his head in surprise and looked at Hong Wenle in disbelief, "Ah? 500?"
"Well, 500, give me the money."
"Has it been slaughtered? How could the giant crocodile be worth more than 500 yuan?"
Ye Yaodong opened the foam box again with a smile, pointed at the big catfish and said: "At 55 kilograms, there are six taels of isinglass. If one kilogram of catfish and fish maw is worth 1,000 yuan, this fish is worth all the fish maw."
It’s 600 yuan, and this is not just a small fish maw, it’s a 6 tael of catfish maw, which is of higher quality and definitely more expensive, boss.”
"Well, give me some money, the fish's isinglass is a good thing."
The young master repeatedly asked him to give money, but Wang Maoquan didn't dare to change his mind. He could only take out all the money in his wallet in pain, dipped his fingers in saliva, counted them, and counted a stack of 50 tickets.
, glanced at Ye Yaodong before reluctantly handing it to him.
Ye Yaodong smiled and narrowed his eyes, took the hand and tapped it gently, and then gave it to his father after confirming that it was correct.
"Okay, let's send them to the hotel in the evening, just in time to entertain important guests. Are there any good products here? Take them out and let me see."
Ah Cai quickly apologized and said, "No more. They are all worthless goods. You must not like them. They have been shipped away."
"Then let's go back. The road here has been very dirty after it rained. There is mud everywhere..." Hong Wenle rubbed the soles of his leather shoes in disgust, then got on his motorcycle and drove away.
Wang Maoquan told Ah Cai to send the fish to their hotel now, and then asked the young man to take him with him on a bicycle and left.
Ah Cai looked at Ye Yaodong and his son with a smile, "Congratulations on making another fortune. Prince Hongsheng is so generous."
Father Ye took out another piece of money from his pocket, handed it to Ah Cai, smiled and said, "I want to thank you too."
He accepted it politely, "It's easy to say, we are all old friends. Recently I heard that Hong Wenle brought many friends back to play and entertained them with delicious food and drinks, so I thought of contacting Hongsheng to ask.
Look, if it were sold to someone who usually collects fish, the price would definitely not be so high."
"Okay, you can go about your business. We're going back." Ye Yaodong was so tired that he didn't want to say any more polite words. He just wanted to go home and lie down.
Ye Mu and the others also finished work and went home to cook dinner. When they found out that the big mullet fish was sold for 500 yuan each, the whole family was excited.
A group of people were noisy, talking to each other, and there were a lot of children at home. Ye Yaodong was so upset that he simply went back to the house and lay down.
But he didn't expect that he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know to wake up without Lin Xiuqing calling him.
He opened his heavy eyelids and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it dark?"
"Come on, mother, it's time to eat. Why are you so hot?" Lin Xiuqing didn't know if she didn't touch him. When she touched his arm, it was scalding hot. She reached out and touched his forehead again, "You have a fever! It must be this afternoon.
It’s raining.”
"Well, no wonder I feel so tired when I go to sleep, and my head feels heavy and groggy."
"After dinner, go to the clinic and grab some medicine."
After the couple came out of the house, they heard Ye's mother say that Ye's father also had a fever, and she was still scolding him, "It must have been raining for too long in the afternoon, plus I went to sea every day during this period, and I couldn't sleep well.
He can't eat well, and his body can't bear it. I told him to rest for two days, but he didn't listen. Now it's better. I have to use the money I earn to buy medicine."
Seeing Ye Yaodong walking out in a depressed state, Ye's mother asked him again, "How are you? Do you have a fever or cold?"
"I have a fever too."
"One by one... I'll just rest at home for a few days, and let your dad choose a piece of wood. It's time to make beams."
Ye Yaodong was more curious about what happened to the man who fell into the sea, and asked him.
Mother Ye sighed, "What else can I do? It has fallen into the sea and sank. How can I fish it out? I can only build a burial mound and hold funerals. It will make life difficult for the orphans and widows. Originally, his family's life was pretty good.
Okay, now a bunch of relatives should be eyeing their boat."
"Ah? How could this happen? Is it so inhumane? Everyone has just died, isn't it?" Lin Xiuqing couldn't believe it.
"I didn't say now, I have to wait until the funeral is over, but there are relatives who are jealous of their boat. Their two sons are young, and it will be several years before they are raised..."
Whenever something happens in the village, it spreads very quickly. Within half a day, the women in the village have already started talking about it.
Ye Yaodong was also a little greedy, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it, and he already had a small wooden boat. By the time he could afford it, the boat would probably be gone.
