Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 545

  Ye Yaodong put down the basket he was carrying with Ah Cai, and looked at the purchase point where the goods were piled up all over the floor.

  He pointed and said: "Do you know how much these frogfish can be sold for? Brother Cai said that a catty is only 3 cents and 5 cents. Here it is about 1200-1300 catties, and they can only be sold for about 40 yuan."

   "It's more than 40 yuan, and the goods of 1,200 to 300 catties can only be sold for more than 40 yuan. I feel distressed when I hear the price. How can I sell it? How can I sell it?"

  Ye's father and Ye's mother looked at each other. Although they knew that the fish had always been cheap, they also felt a little distressed after doing the math.

  If it's any other fish, if it costs eighty-nine cents and ten cents, it's worth more than 100 yuan, and they won't feel bad about it.

  Father Ye frowned and asked him, "Then what are you going to do?"

   "Stay here and ask someone to dry it tomorrow. It just so happens that there has been no rain for the past two days, and there is sunshine in the north windy day. It will be easy to dry after blowing and drying."

  He just made a rough calculation in his mind, and if he dried it in the sun, it would be 40 cents.

   Toad fish has a lot of water. If about 5-6 catties can be dried into a catty, he can still earn half of it. The labor cost is very cheap. If you hire one or two people to do it, it costs more than 1 yuan per person per day.

  Then his 1200~1300 jin can only be sold for more than 40 yuan. If you dry it yourself, you can double it, and the value is 80 or 90 yuan? This is still an undercalculation by him. If he calculated a little more, 100 should not be asked.

   And this is only the harvest of today's trip, what if there are this amount every other time?

  That's much worse.

Mother Ye didn't dare to gamble, "If it takes half the effort to dry it in the sun, what will no one want in the end? This fish is already cheap to death, and the fresh one is worthless. Can anyone want the dried one? "

   "Dried fish is delicious and can be stored. It is easier to transport than fresh fish. Fresh fish is not easy to transport to other places. This kind of dry fish is just right."

   As he said that, he slapped his thigh. Originally, he just blurted out, but now he thinks it makes sense.

  Why didn't I think of the fresh ones to be shipped, but the well-done ones?

  Father Ye also echoed: "That's true. Dried ones are more convenient than fresh ones. Fresh ones can't be transported too far. Seafood can easily stink if you're not careful."

  A Cai also said: "That's the reason, so the men have also taken a fancy to the dry goods market."

   "It will be easy to sell, but you have to go through a few more processes, you have to kill and dry, and you have to transport it to the city by yourself, and you have to sell it yourself, which is more laborious."

  Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's simple, just hire someone. Anyway, there are ready-made shops in the city."

  He was also very decisive in making a decision. After thinking about it in his heart and understanding it, he planned to stay and post it himself.

  Tomorrow, just invite his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to kill and expose him.

   It's still the same sentence, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, and the rich should be earned by the family first.

  Going to sea once can earn an extra forty or fifty yuan, and ten trips can add four to five hundred yuan. If you can go to the sea for three or four months, if you can go a few more times, you can earn an extra thousand yuan.

   And he doesn't have to wait until the store is fully delivered before selling it in the city.

   He can see that the quantity is almost the same, or when the family can't fit it, find a day that is not suitable for going to sea, find time to sell a wave, and just put it at the entrance of the market.

  In a short period of time, he has already figured it out clearly.

  Father Ye saw that he had already made up his mind, and he also thought it would be good if he could earn twice as much. He didn't go to sea just today, and there will be more in the future.

"Okay, if you want to stay and sell them slowly, then you can stay here. Just ask your two sister-in-laws to do it, and you don't need to invite outsiders. Your mother is not free at work, otherwise you will have to call She helps out."

  Mother Ye opened her mouth to speak but stopped, but took it back, "Then dry it yourself, if you don't have enough bamboo sticks, go to your hometown to move, or borrow from your sister-in-law."

"I know."

   "Then you go and weigh them first. Your mother and I will move the dozen or so baskets of toadfish to the side first. We will move a few baskets into the cart and push them back first. These must take two trips to finish."

   "Well, you can figure it out, push it back first." Ye Yaodong replied without looking back, and he was helping A Cai to carry a basket of sole fish to weigh it.

  Besides toad fish, this sole fish is the second most, and it also weighs 260 catties, which can almost cost 30 yuan.

   There are other goods that have been carried on the scale one after another.

   Until all the goods were weighed, Ye Yaodong's stomach growled, and then he yawned wildly again.

   After Ah Cai had recorded all his gains, he took the list and bid farewell to him while reading it. From morning to night, he was really tired and paralyzed after being busy this morning.

However, as soon as he took two steps out, he stopped immediately, "No, why the **** is it only 112 yuan, 3 cents and 2 cents? The toad fish was not sold, and about 40 yuan was deducted, shouldn't it be 167 yuan? Is ten dollars right..."

   "Brother, don't blackmail me, how can there be so many?"

  Ye Yaodong immediately patted his forehead with the palm of his hand, "Damn, there are three otters **** and put in the cabin, I forgot about that."

  At that time, because these three dogs kept barking, it was too noisy, so he threw them into the cabin directly, and forgot when he disembarked to pick up the cargo.

   No wonder he felt the price was wrong when he just looked at the receipt. He had already roughly estimated that today's harvest should be in the early 200s. After deducting the money for the toad fish, it would not be more than 110.

   "Otter? What otter?"

   "You wait, there are still goods on board." After speaking, he quickly folded the list and put it back in his pocket, and trotted towards the fishing boat.

   When Ye's father and Ye's mother came back after delivering the things, he saw him rushing to the boat again.

   "What are you doing? Are the goods sold out?"

   "There are three other otters left in the cabin, and I forgot to take them down."

   "Ah, yes! I almost forgot about it too. There are too many cargoes on board. I carried them around for a long time and forgot about those three."

  Mother Ye was pleasantly surprised when she heard that there were three other otters.

   "Isn't this too much work? After dark, we have been hurrying, and we have long forgotten those three."

  Ye Yaodong went to the boat to catch the three guys and put them in front of Ah Cai. Ah Cai was pleasantly surprised.

   "You did a good job catching the otter today! Someone is collecting otters there recently."

   "Well, is it because of its fur and liver?"

   "Who knows, but it seems that someone is going to study how to raise this one."

   "That's fine, then how much will you give me for these three?"

   "It's easy to say, you don't need to weigh this one, it only counts as money, one will give you 20 yuan, and three will cost you 60 yuan, how about it? I am righteous enough?"

  Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, no matter how righteous he was, he would have to make a fortune from him.
