Chapter 1040: 110,000 catties of plum fish (10,400 words, monthly ticket +13)
Tens of thousands of pounds!
In their decades of working as fishermen, they have never encountered a net that could haul tens of thousands of kilograms.
Today was really an eye-opener for them!
I'm really going to get rich.
The entire net is more than 300 meters long and 80 meters wide from end to end, covering an area larger than a football field.
What they saw was only on the surface of the sea. The amount at the mouth of the net that had just been collected was huge. There were still more under the water. Ye Yaodong judged at a glance that they were tens of thousands of kilograms.
Maybe even less.
"This net is really scary. I never thought that so many people could be caught in one net. When I get back, I will be so awesome that I can blow my mind to death... I guess no one will believe it..."
"Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. That's not what you brag about. I'm going to get the camera. Just wait, don't move yet." Ye Yaodong hurriedly ran into the cabin to get the camera.
"Hahaha, Adong's camera has been used to take pictures of these fish. Who would bother to take pictures? Taking a picture in a photo studio is not cheap. We people are not as rare as these fish..."
"There's still more..."
Chen Shi grinned and pointed happily at the fishing net that was still floating up little by little on the sea. At a glance, the entire fishing net was filled with plum blossoms, which were particularly dazzling in the sun.
There are piles of fish, layer upon layer, densely packed. As the sea water surges, the contents of the fishing net are swaying back and forth.
With so many fish, even the most severe trypophobia can be cured immediately.
Ye Yaodong went back quickly and called the other two people in the cabin first.
The net weighs tens of thousands of kilograms at least, and the load-bearing capacity of the crane on the ship is not that large. It must take several batches to lift it up. After it falls, it probably has to be sorted, so more people can help.
Moreover, such a spectacular sight must be shared by everyone. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, how can you brag about it when you go back?
"My mother? What kind of situation is this? So many?"
"Hongtian, why are there so many all at once? They are all plum fish, and there are so many..."
“We must have encountered a large school of fish!!!”
"There must be tens of thousands of kilograms here, right? The passing wave of fish must be quite big, there are so many of them just by dragging a net."
"There must be, maybe there are more. Look...over there...the tail of the fishing net is full of fish even from a distance...the mouth of the net is so full, let alone the ones behind it."
"It's definitely not possible to hoist it up at once. It must have been hoisted several times. I just don't know the load-bearing capacity of the fishing boat and whether it can hold so many fish... The number is too scary. This is just one net..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I've never seen so many people hauled up in one net in my life. It's really eye-opening."
"If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, if anyone had told me that a net can haul tens of thousands of kilograms, I would have been scolded for boasting. I have been a fisherman for decades and have never seen anything like this. If I hadn't seen it now,
When we get there, I won’t believe it, a fishing net several hundred meters long can be filled to the brim.”
"That's right, usually one net can haul up seven to eight thousand kilograms, which is already incredible. It's already been blessed by Mazu. Today, this is really the manifestation of Mazu."
"Yes, yes, Mazu has appeared. Today, this is too exaggerated and terrifying. There are so many goods all at once."
Ye Yaodong happily took two photos. Hearing everyone's comments, he was very happy.
The fatigue of staying up all night had long been gone after seeing such a large group of fish caught in the net. He was now very energetic. If he was asked to stay up for another day, he felt that he could do it.
And now the entire fishing net was floating, and he felt that the estimated amount might be more than originally expected, maybe more than tens of thousands of kilograms, more than a few thousand yuan.
"This is to resupply me with all the things I haven't gone to sea for more than half a month, right? There are so many, so amazing, tens of thousands of kilograms per net, for a ship like ours, it's like a dream."
Father Ye also climbed down with itchiness and added, "This wave of fish is really big. It must be because the opening of the fishing net below was opened just right, and all of them were caught in the net. There are so many of them. Looking from top to bottom, even
It’s all in the mouth of the tail.”
"Not all of them have been caught, or there may have been a lot of fish that slipped through the net. It's just that this wave of fish is relatively large."
"I'm so lucky. I haven't gone to sea for half a month, and I'm here all at once... These tens of thousands of kilograms of goods can be sold for thousands of dollars..."
Father Ye murmured to himself, looking at the fish all over the sea, he still couldn't believe it. He never dreamed that he could catch so many fish in one net. Even though several minutes had passed, he still felt dreamy and shocked when he saw them.
he.
"This is how people who are good at shipping are like this. Others are just people looking for fish. When we are here, it is fish looking for people. The old saying makes sense..."
"Yeah, just like the two great white sharks last night, who could have thought of such a way to die? One got stuck in the aisle, couldn't move, and was killed. The other bit the engine, burned it to death, and was also beaten.
Dead."
Ye Yaodong listened to their discussion with a smile on his face, "We have seen enough and been shocked enough. Let's collect the goods first. Today's batch of goods is a rare one to see in a lifetime, and it may only be this once. When all the goods are collected,
After selling it, I will reward each of you with a red envelope, which will make you all happy."
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Seeing that everyone is very excited, he is not stingy. If he makes money, he can also let the people around him enjoy the benefits.
"Wow, it's true, then everyone gets the benefit of the doubt!"
"Haha, Ah Dong is so generous. When he gets a good product, he will think of giving everyone a red envelope as a reward."
"Hahaha, it would be great if we could get so many products online every day. Why don't we get soft by receiving red envelopes every day?"
"I can make a fortune by following you. Hahaha, you are so lucky. Mazu has blessed you."
"More than Mazu's blessing, today is Mazu's manifestation. A Dong is going to get rich again..."
Everyone was so happy. They were shocked by so many goods. Everyone could also receive an extra red envelope as a reward, which was great.
The atmosphere around us is getting higher and higher day by day, everyone's faces are filled with the joy of harvest, and everyone is praying in their hearts that more good things like this will happen.
When the boss makes money, they can also get some red envelope rewards.
Ye Yaodong wants the same thing, he has to make everyone look forward to him earning more money.
The matter of luck is illusory. If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist.
But it is better for everyone to expect him to get better and better than to expect him to become more and more unlucky.
"Don't just be happy. Once you're happy, get to work. With such a large network of goods, you'll have to be busy for a long time."
"With so many fish, collecting the net is also a big problem. We don't need to move it all day today. We can just collect these goods."
"Yes, these are probably enough for a day's work, but there are so many..."
Father Ye smiled broadly and did not stop him from handing out red envelopes, "You guys prepare, use the machine to lift them up in batches..."
After finishing speaking, he reluctantly climbed into the cockpit again.
A few pounds of water can weigh a few thousand pounds, and a pound of water can weigh tens of thousands of pounds. It depends on the weather and luck.
The total length of the fishing net is more than 300 meters. When the net is closed, it is impossible to collect the entire fishing net, which would occupy the entire deck. Each time the net is closed, only the goods in the net bag (fish collection bag) are collected.
When raising the net, the mouth of the net is pulled out of the sea bit by bit and pulled onto the boat. Then due to the inertia of the water, the goods in the fishing net naturally slide from top to bottom and slowly slide down to the net pocket at the bottom.
(Fish collection bag).
So every time when you raise the net, you just need to tighten the opening of the net bag (fish collection bag) and hang it up, and you will get a package of several kilograms of goods.
Just when the network port was being closed, they were shocked by the densely packed goods near the port.
Under normal circumstances, the net mouth should be empty when it is closed, because the goods have slipped into the net bag (fish collection bag) at the bottom.
The length of the net bag (fish collection bag) is about one meter. Normally, a package of goods is about three to five thousand kilograms when unpacked. It depends on whether there are too many goods or too little. If there are too many, one net bag (fish collection bag) cannot fit them and they will be divided.
Hang twice.
In the case of this batch of goods, it would probably take a whole day.
Ye Yaodong watched with joy as the boatmen tightened the rope between the fishing net and the tail net bag (fish collection bag), and then the machine slowly lifted the entire package.
Everyone looked up, with smiles on their faces.
The whole website is full of them, it’s really the only one I’ve seen in my life.
After waiting for the contents of the net bag (fish collection bag) to be hoisted onto the boat, someone went up to untie the opening at the bottom of the net bag (fish collection bag), and a large package full of goods suddenly fell out of the net bag (fish collection bag) with a loud crash.
, covering the entire deck.
"Wow~"
"Wow~ They're all Mei Tong..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...the whole package is full of plum blossoms, and there are no other miscellaneous fish..."
"This package contains four to five thousand kilograms of goods. It's full..."
Everyone burst into exclamation.
Ye Yaodong's smiling mouth never closed at all. He was going to sleep after breakfast, but now he couldn't bear to sleep. If all these fish weren't caught, he would definitely not be able to sleep.
After the contents of the fishing net were lifted up and untied, all the contents of the fishing net slid into the middle section.
The boatmen tightened the opening at the bottom of the net bag (fish collecting bag), loosened the rope from the fishing net to the entrance of the net bag (fish collecting bag), and then placed the net bag (fish collecting bag) into the water.
After the cargo in the middle section of the fishing net fell into the water, it gradually slipped into the net bag (fish collecting bag). The boatmen repeatedly tightened the fish collecting bag and continued to lift it up.
Two people helped untie the rope, and two people squatted there holding baskets to collect the goods. The entire deck was full of plump fish, with some groceries mixed in, but the quantity was very small.
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy of harvest.
After collecting two packages of goods and bringing them up, Ye Yaodong asked them to pause temporarily. The entire deck was full. They had to put the goods into baskets first to prevent them from being crushed due to too much accumulation.
"They are all plum fish, so you can catch them in one go. It's a little easier than sorting through a pile of groceries."
"Yes, but some of them are busy, and the bottom is still full. After collecting two bags and bringing them up, I don't feel like there is any reduction..."
"It may be more than tens of thousands of catties, maybe hundreds of thousands of catties..."
"We'll know how many baskets there are when it's full. Our basket weighs fifty or sixty kilograms even if we remove the ice cubes..."
"The fish cabin shouldn't be able to hold it anymore..."
"Not only can't be loaded, the deck should be full, and the ship's load-bearing capacity shouldn't be that big..."
Ye Yaodong felt the same way.
The two bags of goods collected were nearly 10,000 kilograms. If not 10,000 kilograms, there would be eight or nine thousand kilograms. In total, it would be four or five tons. However, the contents of the fishing nets under the water did not seem to have decreased much at all. They were still so densely packed.
Full and full.
It may not be more than the tens of thousands of kilograms he said at the beginning, maybe more.
That would be a bit tricky. The capacity of his fish warehouse is not that large. Even if he returns immediately and stacks the cargo on the deck, the ship's load-bearing capacity will not be able to bear more than 100,000 kilograms.
100,000 kilograms is equivalent to 50 tons. In addition, the fish warehouse still has the goods from yesterday’s trawl. I don’t need any groceries. They are all salable. There are also 10,000 kilograms, plus the weight of the fishing boat itself.
, 100,000 kilograms is about the same, at most two to thirty thousand kilograms will be the limit.
At this time, he suddenly regretted that his boat was a little too small.
Fortunately, there is a harvest ship nearby. If there are really hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods, the rest can be deposited on the harvest ship.
It’s just a question of how much to remunerate, you have to think about it.
He looked at the workers loading cargo on the deck, and then looked at the densely packed fishing nets on the sea. He thought that with so much cargo, it might take a whole day to finish the work, and it would be night.
If the whole ship is filled, he will definitely have to return to Hong Kong to sell it, which is not necessarily true for the Harvest.
It's better to wait and see later. The goods haven't been hoisted yet, so I don't know if they can be finished.
After Father Ye stopped collecting the net, he also came out of the cockpit and came down to the deck.
"Dongzi, if you should go to bed, go to bed. After staying up all night, these things won't be able to be lifted up that fast."
Ye Yaodong nodded and shouted to the workers who were sorting, "You should take a rest in shifts, so go and rest first. Just two people working together will be fine. This whole net is full of fish. It won't be that fast to get busy. It's already late at night."
It’s been a long night, now it’s time to go to sleep, otherwise people won’t be able to endure it.”
"Then let's collect all these on the deck and divide them up before going back to sleep."
"I'm going to take a nap too," he twisted his neck, feeling a little tired after the excitement, "Dad, you will collect a package later, and after sorting, continue to collect another package, and continue
With just two people working on it, it must have been taken away so quickly."
"I know, take your time, we are not in a hurry. I think you will still be there lifting goods when you wake up."
With so much cargo, just salvaging it is a problem.
"Then I'll go to bed first."
He took the camera that he had just placed on the stool and returned to the cabin. He was very tired physically, but extremely excited because of the excitement just now.
Since the beginning of spring, fish stocks have become more abundant. No matter what kind of fish, the quantity has increased. The price of plum fish is not as high as in autumn and winter, but if you buy it from the shore, it will only cost about 1.5 cents.
This fish is also a common fish. Although it has not gone to sea for more than half a month, the price will not change much.
It is also because this fish is small, and although the meat is tender, it is not as good as the larger fish such as seabass. The selling price is not comparable to them, but it is at least double the price at retail.
If this pound is wholesaled for 15 cents, 100,000 pounds is 15,000 yuan!!!
After thinking about it for a while, he became even more excited.
Damn it, one load of cargo is worth the weight of another boat!
He sat up directly and couldn't help grinning.
"Fuck, I really got rich!"
The boatman who just walked in heard what he said and said with a smile: "You are really going to make a fortune. I just collected two bags and brought them up. There are still so many goods in the fishing net. You are not as lucky as anyone. You really are going to get rich when you go back."
You have to show off your awesomeness."
"I didn't expect to be so lucky. I don't know what Harvest's harvest was like. I don't know how much they can harvest in their latest haul. Have you encountered this wave of fish?"
"Haha, I'll find out when I wake up and go out and ask."
"Well, let's go to sleep first. When you wake up, you have to go out and help with the work."
He encountered this large wave of fish, and he didn't know if the Harvest took advantage of it.
They were just enjoying themselves, but everyone just stared at the goods on the sea, and didn't ask his father to contact Pei's father. Probably his father was also too happy to think about anything else, and he didn't care about others.
He lay down again, closed his eyes, and waited until he woke up to look again.
The roar of machines in his ears made it impossible to fall asleep directly. His mind was also filled with fantasies about how much money these goods could sell for, and he was still very excited.
And there were already bursts of snoring coming from other beds.
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep from exhaustion.
When he woke up again, it was only after 1 o'clock. He opened his eyes and saw that the people on the other beds were still sleeping there. He touched his watch and saw that only three hours had passed, and then he closed his eyes again.
What followed was intermittent sleep, a state of half-asleep and half-awake. It was no longer the deep sleep it was before. I was probably too tired at that time, so when I fell asleep, I entered a deep sleep state.
He was half asleep and half awake, forcing himself to sleep a little longer so that he could be energetic at night.
He didn't know how long it had been, until he heard the creaking sound of getting up from the bed next door, and he woke up with a start. He touched his watch and saw that it was already 4 o'clock. He sat up directly and put on his clothes.
"Ah, Dong...Brother Dong, you...are you awake?"
"Um."
"I...I disturbed...you, you, you, you?"
"No, I just woke up."
He pulled up his trousers, put on his rain boots, took his cotton-padded jacket and walked out. Chen Shi and his other regular partner Chen Laoqi quickly followed, talking as they walked.
"Most of the day has passed. I wonder if they have been collected?"
"They should all be collected, right? You'll know after taking a look."
As soon as Ye Yaodong walked out, he saw that the deck was still piled with plum fish, but there were also a lot of groceries underneath.
"Have they all been collected? Is the fish warehouse full? Are there any more in the sea?" He asked as he walked to the other side of the ship's side and looked at the goods in the sea. He was surprised, "There are so many more? Why are they so densely packed?"
"
The other two people who had just woken up were also very surprised!
"Why are there so many..."
"ah……"
The person squatting there sorting said: "The fish warehouse is almost full. After these are piled in, the rest will have to be piled on the deck. There are really so many fish that we can't collect them at all."
It’s over, after harvesting for a long time, the fishing net is still so full.”
Another person also explained, "It's just the two of us who are sorting a little slowly. We also collect a net and then go to hoist it after sorting."
"Have you counted the quantity?"
"It may really be over 100,000 kilograms. We only collected about half of it. Your father just counted and calculated the weight. He said that after collecting the weight from the sea, it will be almost there. It can't be more. It will probably reach the limit.
They said they would dock immediately after harvesting and could not stay any longer."
"Really 100,000 catties!?"
"One hundred thousand catties!!!"
"Ten...one hundred thousand catties!"
The two people next to them already had their mouths open.
"Money I can't imagine in this life..."
"Yeah, if we put this on us, we might have to save it for the rest of our lives..."
Ye Yaodong smiled, "How can it be possible that you have to save ten thousand yuan throughout your life? Just kidding, in two years all of you will be households worth ten thousand yuan."
"Haha, let me lend you some good advice. I hope so. I probably have to count on you to save enough."
"Yeah, it's so hard to make money. If I hadn't been able to work overseas, I probably wouldn't have been able to save ten thousand yuan in my lifetime."
"There are so many goods online. I haven't finished hanging them until now this morning, but there are still half of them..."
"It's coming, it's coming... The main reason is that sorting takes time. Although most of the fish in this net are plum fish, there are also a lot of groceries, and there are also aquatic plants, so they should also be scored."
"Our speed is pretty fast. This package weighs four to five thousand kilograms. Two people have to collect and put it away, and they have to sort it out. Basically, it takes nearly an hour to work on each package. Sometimes your father will come down.
Please help."
Ye Yaodong nodded, that's true.
Usually, we drag a load of goods up, which is a huge pile of miscellaneous items. Only two people do it, and they basically have to sort it to the next load, so there is not much pause or rest at all.
This net is full of plum fish and there are few groceries, so sorting takes about half an hour and an hour, which is very fast.
The main reason is that the fish are all about the same size, none are particularly big, and none are particularly small. They are all about one or two in size. There is no need to distinguish between sizes, and they are very fast to pick up.
Otherwise, I may not be able to finish it until tomorrow morning.
"If we work together, we should be able to go faster..."
Ye Yaodong watched the four people squatting there sorting fish, and climbed onto the cockpit first.
His father's old face was still smiling like a flower, and he didn't know if he had ever put it away.
He knocked on the cabin door and shouted before his father opened it.
"Half of it hasn't been collected yet. Do you want to go sleep for a while?"
"No need. All the remaining goods are loaded up. Is the load-bearing okay?"
"I was worried about this just now. I went down to take a look and calculated the quantity. If there is half of it left, it should be no problem. If there is more than 50,000 kilograms in it, I might as well load some more onto my in-laws' boat later.
It’s relatively safe.”
"I didn't expect it to exceed expectations. Even the load-bearing capacity of the fishing boat may not be able to carry it all." Ye Yaodong became a little excited when he thought about it.
"Hahaha, yes, I didn't expect there to be so many. Just now I just looked at the packages being collected one after another. I didn't see any less in the sea. It wasn't until I took half of them away and looked again that I saw them.
The number is significantly less.”
"Then if there aren't many left, then it's okay to put them on the Harvest for now. It doesn't matter much. After our fishing boat brings them back and sells them all, we can move them over there. Fortunately, there are some.
The Harvest is here, otherwise we have to give up directly and return it to the Sea Dragon King."
"Yes, I almost had to fall back into the sea. What a pity. It's so rare that one network can collect so many goods. When I first talked to your Uncle Pei online, he was shocked and lost his voice.
After a while, he asked me if it was true or not? Are you bragging and saying that it’s no wonder our ship has been standing still, hahahahaha..."
Ye Yaodong was also happy, "What about his boat? Didn't the net reach it?"
"He said that he was originally very happy. He was happy enough to be able to collect tens of thousands of catties of Plum Tong fish from one network. He didn't expect that people would be more angry than others, and he would have to throw away the goods when comparing goods."
"One net netted nearly 10,000 jins? That's pretty good luck. It means that the wave of fish in the morning was really big. After we netted a full net here, Uncle Pei was able to net nearly 10,000 jins."
"Yes, but he was envious to death, and then he was reluctant to leave this sea area. He thought about whether he could net more nets, so he wandered around again in the afternoon. However, the fish school had probably left, and he did not return again after that.
The connection said yes, so there probably isn’t much to say.”
"You can talk to him again on the line. After we collect all the goods in this wave, we will directly dock. We will sell the goods first and ask him if he wants to dock."
"Okay, there is a net of nearly 10,000 kilograms of Mei Tong fish. It is more cost-effective to sell it ashore. You can earn hundreds or even thousands of yuan more, which can be worth the loss of the round trip. And if you don't dock at night, you will be able to sell it ashore tomorrow afternoon.
He probably has to ask the fresh-carrying ship to come over to collect the goods and replenish supplies."
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch again. It was now past 4 o'clock, and there was still more than half of the sea left. There were more people and more strength now, but he would probably have to work until 9 or 10 o'clock. When he was done, he would run directly to the shore. It would probably be about 10 o'clock when he arrived.
It's early morning.
"Where is our nearest port?"
"It's the provincial capital. After we went to sea yesterday, we kept driving forward while working without looking back. We drove all day and night, and we have almost reached the provincial capital."
"In the province?" He frowned and hesitated.
There were too many goods on the ship, and it would not be that fast to sell them directly in the province. The farmers' market in the province was not as good as the aquatic products wholesale market in their city, and he was not that familiar with the markets in the province.
"Otherwise, if we go back to the city, we will have to drive three more hours."
"You can also go directly to the province and sell to the dock, which saves us time in selling goods. Otherwise, when we go to the wholesale market in the city, we have to stay in the market stall. It is estimated that it will take two or three days to sell so many goods.
"
Father Ye nodded, "Yes, if our 100,000 kilograms of goods have to be transported dozens of times from the dock to the aquatic product market, and will be sold for several days, if we sell them directly to the dock, we won't have any worries. Whatever
How do they ship it?"
The time saved can go out to sea and catch a lot of goods, and the time cost is also a cost.
Although selling to the terminal may not be higher than selling to the wholesale market, the wholesale market also charges a commission of three points in both directions, and he himself has to pay for the tractor freight, plus the fuel consumption for long distances.
Comparing the two, there shouldn't be much difference. The most important thing is that you can immediately take the money and leave, returning to the sea to continue trawling.
"Okay, then you can tell Uncle Pei to take it directly to the provincial wharf, and we will ship the goods at the provincial wharf. It will save some time, and you can continue trawling directly when you come back, without having to wait in the stall to sell goods.
"
Father Ye responded and connected immediately.
Father Pei heard that they were sure to go to the provincial dock to sell goods to save time. Although he was a little worried about the price, he was later convinced by Ye Yaodong and only waited for them to collect the goods before they docked together.
After they asked about their harvests again, they hung up again, and Ye Yaodong also ran to the deck and continued to look at the goods in the sea.
The sun had already hidden behind the clouds in advance, and there was probably no sunset today. Everyone was busy working. After thinking about it, he simply put down the rice to cook first, and then went to help.
That is to say, they have not installed a fish finder and do not have this technology. Otherwise, there is no need to rely on luck at all. If they catch a hundred thousand catties in one net, the Harvest will definitely be able to detect fish schools.
Now it's all about fighting for character and luck, and those who are close to each other may be able to pick up some mistakes.
This network of goods was busy until nearly 9 o'clock at night, when they collected all the goods and piled them all over the deck. There were not enough baskets in the back, so they just scattered them on the deck.
Who could have imagined that there are so many goods?
Anyway, we docked the next morning, and the sea temperature is not too high now, so it won’t be bad if we pile it up overnight.
After everyone unloaded the last package of goods on the deck, the fishing nets were not put down, but were casually thrown into the corner. Everyone also sat down in the corner tiredly.
"I can't even straighten my waist..."
"Me too, I can't lift my neck..."
"It's really a lot of riding! Since it was collected at eight or nine in the morning, it has been lifted in batches, and it has been lifted until now, from dawn to dusk." Ye Yaodong complained in his belly, feeling really happy and tired at the same time.
"Hey, it would be nice to make money."
"Should we just go back and sell the goods? The entire ship is full, so the load is probably reaching its limit, right?"
He nodded happily, "That's about right. These are probably 110,000 kilograms. In addition, we also collected 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of goods yesterday and those two great white sharks. We can't pack any more."
"Then you really can't pretend anymore, get rich, get rich~"
"A net of gold, a net of silver, a net of plum blossoms weighing a hundred thousand catties, the whole ship is filled with snowflakes of silver."
"I've made a lot of money. This fish should be sold for more than 10 cents when it's landed, right? The entire fishing boat will recoup its original investment, right?"
"Wow, this is so cool, one network of goods is equal to one ship."
"We'll know after daybreak when we go ashore and ask. I hope there won't be any price reduction, but I'm worried that there are too many goods and people will lower the price."
"Let's ask around first. If the difference is too big, we won't sell it. Let's ask a few more companies."
"Let's talk about it later."
Ye Yaodong touched the cigarettes in his pocket and gave one to everyone. He had been busy all day, not to mention smoking. He didn't even have time to drink water and eat. At this moment, everyone was sitting there panting, rarely taking a break.
one time.
"Do you want to dock again at dawn?"
"Well, I'm going to the provincial capital. The dock purchase point is not open at night. There happens to be no sound on the ship at this moment. Let's take a rest and let's all go to bed together. Don't worry about it. We have had enough sleep after a tiring day and we will sail back to the provincial capital.
"
It wouldn't make much sense to go all out to return at this time. The dock purchase point must not be open yet. It's better to have a good sleep and stay at sea for a while. After all, the fish cargo of the Harvest is not full yet, so we can still
Continue trawling operations.
When the sky clears up, the two boats can sail to the shore together, so that they can sell goods in time for the opening of the market in the morning.
"That's fine."
After everyone rested for a while and threw the cigarette butts on hand into the sea, they also had a late-night snack, including a large pot of seafood.
After Ye's father locked the cockpit, he also came down and planned to take a nap together. At this point, everyone was sleepy and exhausted after a whole day.
It was especially easy for everyone to sleep without the sound of the machine.
The fishing boat swayed with the waves, undulating and swaying like a rocking chair, and the sound of waves filled my ears.
The Harvest kept trawling without stopping, but kept a distance from them, not too far or too close.
It was not until dawn that the two fishing boats started moving with all their strength and headed towards the province.
The sleeping boatmen heard the roar of the machine and knew that the fishing boat was heading towards the province. They pulled the quilt over their heads and continued to sleep. They didn't need to work at this time, and they didn't need to do anything.
anything.
Ye Yaodong did not sleep anymore. The adequate sleep at night had already made him energized. He was now particularly looking forward to how much this batch of goods would sell for.
After docking, you have to ask the purchasing point if there is a repairman who repairs fishing boat machinery, and ask one to come on board and check it out.
The engine at the stern of the boat was bitten by a great white shark, and I don't know if it was damaged. It would be safer to ask someone to get on the boat and check it out, lest you not be able to tell the situation now and have a safety hazard at a critical moment, which would cause trouble.
He stood on the deck, blowing in the wind, cooking breakfast, and then thinking about the supplies that needed to be replenished after landing.
I just came out this time, and the harvest has been so great. I definitely can't go back so easily. I can stay a few more days.
The closer you are to the provincial capital, the more boats you see on the sea, all of which go out to fish at night or in the morning.
Correspondingly, after docking, there were not many ships on the shore. It was very empty. They could dock wherever they wanted.
They were not in a hurry to carry the cargo up immediately. They planned to go ashore and ask around first just like they did before.
There are few fishing boats docked at the pier, but there are not many people coming and going. There are a bunch of stalls selling seafood around. I don’t know if they are those who docked at night or those who came back from setting off their nets in the morning, or if they are from other villages.
Bring seafood to the dock for retail sale.
Many city dwellers were carrying baskets on the pier to select the goods they needed.
They also walked around, and then they saw clearly that some were selling snails, razor clams, open oysters, or clams dug by themselves. These were all tidal products, and there were also fish products.
Quite a few.
Probably a small morning market has been formed here, so all the fishermen who brought in seafood came here to set up stalls, and there were even a lot of agricultural and sideline products.
Ye Yaodong, Pei's father, and his father only took a glance at it, then went straight to several buying points nearby, and asked for prices separately as usual. The first one he entered was the one that sold manta rays last time.
Unlike the crowded shopping malls in the evening, in the early morning, the shopping malls were all deserted and empty. There were only empty baskets inside and at the door, with no goods at all. A young man was still sleeping on the table.
"Hey, boss, get up and collect the goods."
The other party wiped his saliva and looked up at them in confusion.
"What kind of goods?"
"How much does a catty of Plum Tong fish cost?"
"One dime and six cents."
"How big is the quantity?"
"The same goes for large quantities."
"The same goes for tens of thousands of kilograms?"
After hearing the number, the man sobered up a little and said, "Same! Hey, aren't you the guy who sold manta rays before?"
"Yes, it's me. We're familiar with it. Is the price a little higher?"
Ye Yaodong also recognized him. Last time he heard others call him Ah Cheng.
"How many do you have? The fishing boat just came back?"
"Tens of thousands of pounds!"
"Fuck!" Ah Cheng's eyes widened, "Really?"
"What are you lying to?"
"Take me to have a look." He hurriedly pulled Ye Yaodong to see the goods.
Ye Yaodong grabbed him and said, "You can go back to sleep later. I'll take a look around and ask about the price first."
"No need to ask, no one can eat your tens of thousands of kilograms. I have to find other people to share it. If I knew you had tens of thousands of kilograms, I wouldn't quote such a high price."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? Do you think anyone can get out tens of thousands of dollars at once? Those of us who receive goods all use cash. We have to pay a sum of money for each batch of goods, and we can only collect the money after all are sold. I should have known better.
Since you have such a large quantity, I will quote a lower price so that you can receive more goods. I’m so sleepy, fuck it.”
Ye Yaodong didn't believe him, after all, the devil almost got tricked by him last time.
The brothers were not very honest and deliberately lowered his price, thinking that he did not know the goods and it was the middle-aged man next door who caused trouble and allowed him to get the approximate price.
"Then you have to wait. My father and uncle went to the neighborhood to inquire about the price. We have to compare it anyway. You have a criminal record, so I have to be on guard."
Ah Cheng gave him a look of disdain, "We all received the goods together, and the prices are all about the same. They are all based on the market price of the day."
That's hard to say, since he is from out of town, and it is common for locals to bully students.
"Anyway, I've already asked. I'll wait until they ask."
"Your fishing boat docks every few days. Are they all around us?"
"Yes, it doesn't necessarily mean how often we dock. Anyway, the value of the goods is high and it is worth docking, so we will come back."
"Then your delivery is quite big, isn't it? Is the warehouse full? Besides plum blossoms, what else is there?"
"They are all plum fish..."
Before the other party could continue to inquire, Father Ye hurried over.
"Dongzi...Dongzi...how much are you asking for?"
"1 cent 6."
"Oh, I asked two companies, and the one with the most was only 16 cents."
"Let me tell you, the market price, no matter what the quantity, is the same price."
Next to Father Ye was a middle-aged man who also walked in and said cheerfully: "Let me tell you that I am a fair person. I quote real prices and I do not bully students, no matter what is common or unusual."
Common goods.”
"You're causing trouble again! They are my old guests..."
"Who said that? They also came to my place to ask about the price."
"You're not doing this..."
"Nonsense, that's what I do."
Seeing them quarreling, Ye Yaodong was a little confused and said, "Don't argue. My portion is a bit big. Can you all eat it?"
"How many?"
"How many tens of thousands of pounds?"
The two asked questions at the same time.
"110,000 pounds!"
"How much?" Both of them stared at him with their eyes wide open and their mouths open.
"110,000 catties of Mei Tong fish, and other fish weighing between 10,000 and 20,000 catties."
"110,000 pounds???" A middle-aged man named Lao Hai looked shocked.
The young man named Ah Cheng didn't give in too much. He plucked his ears and looked blankly at the man named Lao Hai.
"110,000 catties? Are they all plum fish?"
"Yes, I encountered a school of fish. One net weighed 110,000 kilograms."
"How many?!!!!"
Their eyes were even wider than before.
With a smile on his face, Ye Yaodong repeated it to them again.
The two of them looked at each other, and the tit-for-tat look they had just had was gone. They were already so shocked by him that they couldn't care less about quarreling.
"No, tell me again, how many pounds of fish do you weigh?"
"I said I have 110,000 kilograms of plum blossoms, 55 tons, which were all shipped from one net to another. I encountered a large school of fish, and there were other groceries, including two great white sharks."
"I'm going to do it!"
"My dear, this is the first time in my life that I, Ye Yaohai, have heard that goods sold online can weigh up to 110,000 kilograms!!!"
It's late, sorry!
Chapter completed!
