Earning nearly 100 yuan a day
Ah Cai conveniently put the cigarette behind his ear. He didn't have time to smoke it now, "Oh, don't worry, we've been friends for a long time and I can't lose anything to you."
"Brother, let's settle the accounts. Please tell me the number first so that I can consider whether to sell it or not. If it's not cost-effective, I'll send it to Hongsheng to ask. It's hard to go out during a typhoon, otherwise I'll send the bass slide that day by myself.
Hongsheng may sell it at a higher price..."
Ah Cai's mouth twitched, he raised the price of that fish for this guy, but he didn't even make 2 yuan, it was a scam... Now he has the nerve to say it.
"Brother, we are all from the same village, fellow villagers. I receive your father's goods. Can I not give you a fair price? Don't worry. This red spot will cost 6 yuan and 50 cents a piece.
Calculation, how about it?"
"Isn't your price the same as the price of bass sliders? That fish is less than two kilograms and costs 12 yuan a piece. How can this red spot be more valuable than the bass sliders? Don't think that we country people don't know the goods since we rarely go to the city. 8
If it’s a pound, just weigh it!”
Ah Cai's heart ached, and the flesh on his face trembled. Why was this guy so hard to talk to? He always stepped on his bottom line.
"It's really not that big of a profit, brother. Take a look at these seafood. If you go to the town and ask, you will know. I only earn one or two cents per pound. I can't even earn a cent for the dragonhead fish, just three to five cents."
centimeters..."
Ye Yaodong patted his big belly unceremoniously, "Look at your big belly. You must have made a lot of money. Even if you make a profit of one or two cents, you can't keep up with the large amount. What's more, can the dragon head fish compare with this fish? Are you so embarrassed?
Can you tell me a point or two?"
The people watching the excitement also burst into laughter, "That's right, look at your belly, it's obviously full of oil and water!"
"That's right, eat less and give up some. Rich people only look at the goods. If they don't need money, you can just resell them at a higher price."
Father Ye tried his best to fight for it, "We don't have any objection to the other items. Just add some of this fish."
Uncle Lin also helped to speak: "We are all as thin as bamboo poles. Ah Cai, you have the nerve to lower the price. Hurry up, catching a red spot is not easy. I have been fishing for decades and have never caught a red spot. This one looks like
It should weigh almost 3 pounds, so it will definitely sell well."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ This bright color and quality are really not something we can get offshore." Agui, who was receiving the goods next door, also ran over to join in the fun, "Acai, do you want it? I'll take it if you don't want it."
"Go, go, go, what's the matter with you, forget it, just 8 yuan," Ah Cai frowned, with a grimace, "I really didn't make any money from you, brother, what you brought me recently
I can only earn you a few cents from a few fish..."
"Stop being so annoying. We are all risking our lives by wandering on the sea to make money. You just wait here to receive the goods and you will be full of food. You can make me a few cents if you dare to say it. Isn't it a loss? Come on,
.”
Ah Cai shut up, just make less if you earn less, just pretend that you are familiar with the bosses, and go directly to the scale.
"2 pounds 8!"
He made a note on the list, "The Great Red Spot is 2 pounds 8, 22 yuan and 4 hairs. The ray also helped me carry it over and weigh it."
When everyone saw the baskets of rays, their attention was also focused on the rays, and they were all discussing...
"This ray usually lives on the bottom of the sea and is not easy to catch. Ye Laosan is really lucky..."
"I heard that the three nets we tried were all stingrays."
"How do you catch it, Ye Laosan? I think you catch more fish than others when you go out to sea. Do you have any skills? Teach us!"
Father Ye smiled and looked at the villagers who were watching the excitement, "How can I have any skills? Today I left the job of sailing the boat and trawling the net to Dongzi. He hauled several nets. Maybe he is new and has a lot of manpower."
"Is that so?"
"Is it true?"
Everyone was thinking, should we give it a try? But after thinking about it, there were no new people in the family except women and children. We couldn't ask women and children to sail the boat. After thinking about it, we had to give up.
I can only watch others getting rich with envy and jealousy.
"Stray, 386 kilograms, this one is 18 cents per kilogram, the total... I calculated, the total is 69 yuan 48 cents, forget it, remember it is 69 yuan 5 cents." Afraid that Ye Yaodong would be verbose again, he took the initiative to round up
Already.
In fact, Ye Yaodong wanted him to round up to 70, but he restrained himself. Five cents is a lot nowadays and cannot be counted as a fraction.
"The three baskets of Balang fish were also brought over to weigh..."
"Is this three cents a pound?" Ye Yaodong asked uncertainly.
"right!"
"Don't you want to sell this Balangyu, dad?"
It's so cheap, only three yuan for a hundred pounds, so it's better to keep it at home and dry it.
Ye Mu also smiled and said: "We have gained a lot today. This Balang fish is not worth much, and we all like to eat it. Why don't we just keep it and not sell it, half of it is dried and half of it is pickled."
"Okay, I'll carry it back later." Father Ye nodded. Today's income was quite good, and he didn't miss the three or four yuan of Balangyu. It would be good to keep it to dry out a few dozen pounds and eat it slowly.
The people on the seaside cannot live without fish on the table. If there is not a bowl of fish on the table, it means that there is nothing to eat today.
After all the shrimps and crabs were weighed, the total price was 96 yuan and 5 cents. Everyone was really jealous now. If they sold the Balangyu, they would earn over 100 yuan a day. It was so greedy.
After they finished weighing themselves, it was Lin Jingye's turn. He smiled and shook his head, "Compared with you, I'm worth three melons and two dates."
"It's not bad. It seems like yours should be worth about thirty yuan."
"If I hadn't seen your goods, I would still be very happy. After the typhoon, there were indeed more sea goods than before."
Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Oh, Uncle Lin, it's enough for you to haul so much cargo. Isn't it better than the top and less than the bottom?"
"Indeed, it seems that you have grown a lot. Come and help me lift this basket of crabs..."
"okay!"
They chatted for a while while helping each other. After they borrowed the cart, they loaded the remaining Balang fish and miscellaneous fish onto the cart. Today, Ye Mu specially left a few thinner swimming crabs, planning to use them tonight.
Come and be a drunk crab.
Because when Ye Mu cooked afternoon snacks for the workers, she specially left two extra bowls of gnocchi. It didn't take long and it was just warm. As soon as they came back and took a shower, they ate the gnocchi directly to cushion their bellies.
Catching up on sleep.
It wasn't until dinner that I was woken up.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing who was sitting by the bed folding clothes with a confused expression, then moved over to hug her waist and rubbed her back with his head.
"What time is it? Finished work?"
Lin Xiuqing moved her body uncomfortably, "Well, it's 6 o'clock, and I smell like sweat. Don't stick to me. You get up first and go to eat. I want to take a shower first."
"I just woke up and it hasn't been long since I finished eating snacks. We'll eat later. You can wash your clothes and I won't look at you."
"Then you go out and look at the children. They have just taken a bath. Don't let them get all wet again."
Anyway, we just don’t let him stay in the room and watch.
"Fine."
It’s not like I haven’t seen it before!
