"Are you asking my dad to help move the goods?"
"I don't know. I didn't say anything. As soon as Dad arrived at the door, Uncle Pei hurried to the door. I didn't hear what they were saying and went out again."
Ye Yaodong was puzzled for a moment and didn't care. Anyway, his father would know when he came back soon. At this time, he had to move all the sticky nets onto the cart first.
If his father comes back late, he can only go around the village to see if Aguang is at home. If he is not at home, he will have to ask another person to follow him to set up the net. It takes two people to work, and one person cannot do it.
.
The old lady was also there to help him organize the buckets and baskets, stacking them on top of each other, and murmuring, "I can't see anyone at the critical moment. I don't know why my in-laws have been called. When will they come back? I don't know what's there."
It's an important matter, in such a hurry, I didn't even eat anything, so I ran away."
"There must be something wrong, right? If nothing happens, you won't come over to call daddy."
"You go have breakfast first, and I'll sort it out for you. I can't even put it away."
"Okay, leave the heavy ones until I finish eating and then move them."
When he finished eating, prepared all the sticky nets, and planned to go out to find another person, his father came back excitedly, and the two happened to bump into each other at the entrance of the courtyard, and almost bumped into each other.
"Ouch~"
"father?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even look at the road when you go out."
In the basket in Ye's father's hand, some dried shrimps spilled out. Several dogs nearby quickly ran up to them, lowering their heads and licking them with their long tongues.
"You are the one who filed the complaint first. It was obvious that you bumped into me while turning a corner in excitement. I haven't even stepped out yet." Ye Yaodong felt that he was wronged. "Where did you get Shopee? What else is there?"
"Go in and say it, go in and say it."
"What are you doing? Did Uncle Pei get you some shrimp skin?" Ye Yaodong followed his father and walked into the yard.
"Your Uncle Pei has a friend who fishes for shrimp skin in Zhejiang Province. It starts every autumn and ends in the following spring. It's a good season for fishing for shrimp skin..."
"So you want me to sell shop skin?"
"No, no, that's right..."
"What do you mean? One moment it is, the other moment it is not..."
Father Ye was anxious, "Can you just listen to what I have to say?"
"You say, you say."
"His friend came back at night and brought back not only a few sacks of shrimps, but also more than 30,000 kilograms of dragonhead fish caught on the road. I heard that he encountered a large school of fish, and he caught at least two to three thousand kilograms in one net. The boat was full.
There was no place to pile them up, so we had to kill them on the spot. Five or six people worked day and night to kill just a few..."
Ye Yaodong was surprised. There were so many fish. If they were replaced with other fish, they would make a fortune. The least valuable one is the dragonhead fish.
However, with such a large quantity, if sold directly, it would be very impressive and could be sold for several hundred yuan.
"They just killed them and hung them on the boat to dry. Fortunately, they docked last night, otherwise the entire fishing boat would be full and there would be no place to hang them. Then last night, as soon as they docked, they called a dozen people to kill them in the middle of the night, and they still haven't killed them until now.
Kill there..."
Father Ye rummaged through the basket and showed him a few pieces of dried dragon head fish that they had hung on the boat to dry.
It was very windy at sea, so although the pieces he brought back were not completely dry and were still soft to the touch, they were about 50 to 60% dry. Ye Yaodong looked at them and touched them, and they still looked pretty.
"Are you going to sell me the dried dragon head fish?"
Otherwise, if he couldn't figure it out, why would he ask his father to go there?
"Yes, yes, these 30,000 kilograms of dragon head fish should weigh three to four thousand kilograms when dried. They are worried about how to sell them. There are so many. After your uncle Pei heard about it, he mentioned you directly when he went over to watch the excitement.
, so he hurriedly took me to see it early in the morning."
So that's it. Ye Yaodong touched his chin. If his store wasn't a big seller, he could sell two to three hundred kilograms a day, and seven or eight thousand kilograms a month. The existing goods were only enough for him to sell for one month. If
If the big product is only a few thousand kilograms, it will take more than half a month to sell, and he will have to close down and take a rest.
It would be fine if he could collect all his batch of dried dragonhead fish. Who knows when the weather will be suitable for going to sea? It's almost spring, and there will be more rain.
but…
"Why doesn't he sell it directly to the person who receives the goods? This way, he doesn't have to worry about selling it himself, and then he's worried that he won't be able to sell it. Although it's a bit cheaper, it won't cost him anything, and he can cash it in directly."
"It can't be sold, no one wants it. The dragon-headed fish is so soft. More than 30,000 kilograms are piled high on top of each other. The surface underneath is a little damaged due to the pressure, and it's not that beautiful. It doesn't matter if you kill it and expose it. Look.
If it doesn't come out, it won't have any impact, and the fresh ones won't be sold. It's so cheap to begin with, and it only costs a penny to buy in such a large quantity. It doesn't look good, so who wants it? They can only show it."
That's right. It's tens of thousands of pounds, but there's nothing to pack it. It's piled up on a boat. It's strange that it looks good.
"Is it fresh?"
"It's quite fresh. It was caught the night before yesterday. It should be said that it was caught in the early morning of yesterday. It's cold now and it's only been a day and a half. If I can kill them all and expose them today and tomorrow, that's not bad."
"That's okay. I also think that the few thousand kilograms in our house are only enough for the shop to sell for a month. If the boss or the army wants to sell it again two days ago, and there is still not enough to sell, we will have to close down for a few days.
"
"That's right, I was just thinking that your dried fish can be sold very quickly and easily. If it weighs several thousand kilograms, I shouldn't have any worries about putting it there. The fish is also cheap."
These days, cheap = easy to sell.
The price is already an advantage, not to mention the stir-fried dried dragon head fish, which tastes great and goes great with wine!
Normally, it is not easy to get such a large amount of dried dragon head fish. No one would think of catching such a cheap fish. They all come from the trawl net, and there are some fragments mixed in a big net. It is rare to see such a big net.
Large quantities.
Some people are too lazy to take them and just throw them back into the sea. They have to clean them up when they are taken back. They also take up space on the boat and take up baskets. The space and baskets are freed up to hold other fish products.
"Let's go and have a look. Is it far away? Let's go by bike."
"It's not far. It's just a ten-minute bike ride in a nearby village."
"Then go and have a look. If it's suitable, wait for them to dry and collect them all. I've sorted out these sticky nets and put them on the pallet truck. Let's go to sea when we come back later. It's two hours late. At worst, it will be done a little later.
.”
"It'll be later, it'll be later. There's no rush to release the net. Let's go see the dragonhead fish first."
Father Ye got on his bicycle and told him about shrimp skin, "They also brought back five or six sacks of shrimp skin, which weighed four to five hundred kilograms. You just ate it, why don't we buy it too and put it in the store for retail sale?"
ah."
"That's okay. It's just a side trip anyway. I have to ask about the price. If I can earn some wages and fare, that's fine. I see someone has set up a stall there in the city. Shopee is very popular."
This is much easier to sell than dried fish. Once upon a time, someone came here with a load to sell dried shrimps. Every household would weigh them half a catty and take them back. They would throw a handful of them into soups and stir-fries, and the children would grab a handful if they were greedy.
They are all very good. This is one of the best-selling seafood products, and it can also be said to be the most popular one at the moment.
Ye Yaodong listened to Ye's father's directions along the way, only to realize that the cargo on the fishing boat had not been unloaded at all. They directly asked people to kill them at the dock. After killing one basket, they loaded another basket on the boat.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw that the scene was extremely heated.
The entire open space was filled with baskets of fish. A dozen women each occupied a small area and sat there on stools spread across the ground. There was also a stool spread across the ground in front of them, with a wooden board on top for them to sit and kill.
Fish, and the left hand side is the unkilled fish, and the right side is the killed fish.
There were also many people carrying fish that had been killed, presumably to be taken back to dry.
The amount of more than 30,000 kilograms sounds scary enough. More than ten or twenty people were killed there at the same time. I don't know if they can all be killed tomorrow.
As soon as he parked his bicycle in the open space next to him, Uncle Pei immediately came over with a strange short and thin middle-aged man.
The man's face is even more weathered than his father's. At least his father, under his influence, can occasionally apply clam oil or wear a mask. Now his face is less flaky. This man doesn't know.
Have you just come back from the sea? Your lips are chapped and turned purple, and your face is so flaky that it feels like flakes are falling off.
However, his eyes look quite shrewd.
Also, how could a simple and unintelligent person dare to sail north to Zhejiang Province? I heard that this man and Pei's father used to run big ships together. They had been to Zhejiang Province, so they were bold. Pei's father originally bought the boat because he wanted to
We went to Zhejiang Province together, but the boat he bought was not as big as others.
Fortunately, he was dissuaded by A Guang. A Guang had been fascinated by Ye Huimei's beauty all his life and was unwilling to leave the village.
Everything is different.
Everything is getting better.
Father Pei's friend is also very straightforward. He just wants to sell all the dried fish at a price that can catch up with the fresh ones. He has to earn back his wages.
He had no choice, he didn't have the capital to negotiate terms, and no one except Ye Yaodong would accept so much dried fish. He also had to sail a boat to fish, so it was impossible to spend time retailing so many dried fish.
What's more, they may not be able to sell much in their local surroundings.
One wanted to sell, the other wanted to buy, one didn't have high requirements for the selling price, and the other agreed readily. It only took a few minutes to complete the transaction.
"Uncle, I have to be the first to say anything ugly. Your fish must be fresh. If it's not fresh, I won't do it. It will ruin your reputation."
"Definitely, definitely, I'm inviting people again. I must kill them all before tomorrow and hang them up to dry. It's just that it's hard to call people at night, so I only invited a dozen or twenty people. I just called people back to the village.
Call someone to come and kill him."
"Okay, I'll definitely want all the fresh ones, so you don't have to stock up."
"Okay, there's so much, I can't throw it back into the sea. My hair will almost turn gray. I'll definitely pack it up for you by then."
"That's fine. If there are too many and there's no place to put them, you can dry a batch and notify me to come and collect a batch."
"Okay, there really is no place to put it. You, the young boy, have a great future and can do great things. Your father has given birth to a good son. He has hope for the rest of his life. He can enjoy happiness in the future. If my four sons are as capable as you,
alright."
"Ahahaha~ You praise me so much, my dad is grinning crookedly."
Father Ye smiled and said: "This kid is also late for awakening, but fortunately, he will still awaken. Not to mention the rest of his life, I have already counted on it now."
"Good luck, good luck."
The three old men were chatting there, and Ye Yaodong looked around, and then went to the boat to take a look. The warehouse was really full of fish.
But now he has an advantage. The dried dragon head fish we just talked about costs 14 cents, which is one cent cheaper than the price of miscellaneous fish. Who told him to have a large quantity?
He was not going to swallow this penny, and was going to use it as an introduction fee to Uncle Pei.
The other party won't suffer any loss. After deducting the labor cost, you can still earn hundreds of dollars more than the fresh ones.
It can also be regarded as good for you, good for me, good for everyone, and we can make money together.
I'll try my best to finish one more chapter at night. I've been delayed during the holidays these past few days. Sorry!
Ps: At 2 o'clock in the morning on June 24th, I just wrote 1000. I really want to sleep, so I will write a report and go to bed. Do you want to approve it or not?
Chapter completed!
