Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Zhao Dahai pricked up his ears and chatted with Ding Xiaoxiang, but his attention was always on Liu Gang and Chen Weiguo, listening carefully to every word.

Forty-one pounds not for sale?

Zhao Dahai felt happy. Even the worst bag of jumping fish he caught was better in size and quality than the ones in Chen Weiguo's bucket. He originally thought that selling for thirty-one pounds would be good, but now It seemed that it might be sold for fifty or sixty yuan, especially the bigger ones, especially the pink minnows. The price would definitely exceed the eighty-one kilograms I estimated.

"Sixty-one pounds."

“I won’t sell it for less than this price!”

Chen Weiguo opened his mouth and quoted the price.

"ah?"

"Sixty-one pounds?"

"Where did you get this price?"

"You might as well go and grab it!"

"Take it to the fish market and sell it! At this price, someone wants me to eat it raw for you to see!"

Liu Gang jumped up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at Chen Weiguo, his face flushed with anger.

"Hey hey hey!"

"I'll sell it here!"

"Fifty yuan a pound. Boss Liu, do you want it?"

As Chen Weiguo spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one and handed it to Liu Gang.

When Zhao Dahai heard this, he almost laughed out loud. The jumping fish is small and doesn't have much meat. People in the seaside fishing villages don't eat it very much. If you have the money, it's better to buy some bigger fish, such as black snapper, yellow fin, etc. In addition, most people don't have the skills to cook this fish well. . Only naughty people will eat it, or only rich people will eat it. You can’t get it at this price in the fish market. Thirty yuan is a lot of money and you may not be able to sell it. Chen Weiguo dared to shout out the high price because he was confident that Liu Gang would buy it. This was exactly the same as when he was selling blue crabs a few days ago.

Liu Gang took out the lighter and took out the cigarette. He lit it for Chen Weiguo first and then for himself.

"snort!"

"Smoking this cigarette of yours will cost me dozens of dollars more."

"Fifty one catty? Don't even think about this price! I would rather not make money than accept it from you! I can't swallow this breath."

"Forty-five pounds!"

"If you sell it, I'll take it. If you don't sell it, I'll knock you down!"

Liu Gang took out a puff of smoke and returned the price.

Chen Weiguo thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Liu Gang agreed on the price, immediately put it in a mesh bag, drained it and weighed it. It was less than two kilograms, only one kilogram and nine taels. He sighed inwardly. The red squid is so popular. A portion of only half a kilogram can be sold for 200 yuan. It is profitable. It's a pity that a clever woman can't make a living without rice. Catching this thing is too tiring, and not many people in the nearby fishing villages are willing.

Forty-five pounds?

This is a good thing!

The worst bag in my bucket can be sold for fifty-five pounds!

This is much better than I expected.

Zhao Dahai was secretly happy. He was very right in not rushing to sell just now. He didn't understand the market. If he really rushed to sell, he would definitely sell it for 40 yuan a pound.

Liu Gang calculated the money and handed it to Chen Weiguo. When he raised his head, Zhao Dahai looked at him with a smile.

This is how the same thing?

Such an expression?

Liu Gang felt that something was not right. He thought about it for a while. He was confused and had no clue, so he could only ignore it. Many people were waiting for him to receive the goods. After working for almost an hour, only Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were left.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Your mother called me. The price has been agreed upon. We can just weigh it and calculate the money."

Liu Gang pointed to the tricycle parked at the door of the restaurant.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. My mother told me this before coming here. I just need to deliver the goods myself and check the scale to see how much it weighs.

"Boss Zhao."

"What's in your bucket?"

"It's for blue crabs, right? You're really good at catching blue crabs. No one can catch blue crabs like you. But we have to say it first. Today's price is not as high as it was a few days ago!"

Liu Gang walked up to Zhao Dahai and took out his cigarette while talking.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He didn't smoke.

"Boss Liu."

"How can it be a blue crab?"

"These are not small fish, crabs or mud snails that cost a few dollars a pound. You can just pick them up. I don't even have them if you want them, just the ones from the past few days. If you want them, you have to wait until next year!"

Zhao Dahai was not kidding. Are there blue crabs in the mangroves? There are many of them, but they are all in the depths. There is only one interval between low and high tides, so they cannot run far and cannot be caught.

Not blue crab?

The blue crabs that Zhao Dahai sent over a few days ago are all good products. Not to mention the pickled crabs, the cream crabs are very rare. Butter crab costs 800 yuan, but it is sold on the table in a restaurant for 3,880 yuan.

Liu Gang was a little disappointed, but he knew that Zhao Dahai was right. There was nothing he could do. The mangroves were so big that there were many green crabs that he couldn't catch.

Zhao Dahai put down the bucket he was carrying, picked up a mesh bag, put it on the ground, and opened the mesh.

Liu Gang looked down and saw that there was a jumping fish in the net bag. He stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times. It was much larger than the one he had just collected from Chen Weiguo.

"oh!"

"Nice size!"

As soon as Liu Gang said the words, he immediately reacted and complained secretly.

Ding Xiaoxiang stood aside, pursed her lips, and laughed. Liu Gang's face twisted up like a bitter gourd, indicating that something was wrong.

"How much do you want?"

Liu Gang was very helpless and wanted to expose Zhao Dahai to lower the price. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dahai was also shrewd and kept silent, waiting to see how much Chen Weiguo's jumping fish could be sold for. He was very passive at this time.

"Fifty-five pounds."

Zhao Dahai had thought about it early and immediately made an offer.

Liu Gang was very single and nodded in agreement. There is no one to blame for this. I can only blame myself for accepting the ones from Chen Weiguo at forty-five per pound. When I compared the goods, I found that Zhao Dahai's was indeed fifty-five per catty. Below this price? Zhao Dahai will not sell it even if he is beaten to death.

"A person of this size weighs seventy-five pounds, right?"

…

"This is minnow!"

"One hundred yuan a catty."

"It's reasonable, right?"

…

Zhao Dahai took out the other two mesh bags in the bucket and opened them while asking a price.

Liu Gang's eyes suddenly widened. besides? And a bigger one? Are there minnows? I immediately took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a bigger one with a pink minnow.

"It's almost sixty pounds a pound. Fifty-five pounds a pound. A total of eighty-eight yuan."

"The big one is eight pounds and seven taels, seventy-five pounds per pound, a total of six hundred and fifty-two-five."

"Five kilograms and six taels of vermicelli minnows, one hundred yuan per catty, a total of five hundred and sixty yuan."

"It adds up to thirteen hundred and fifty cents."

Liu Gang picked them carefully, and every item was lively and lively. He weighed the items and reported the money while calculating the accounts. Who would have thought that what Zhao Dahai was selling today was not blue crabs? If I had known this, I would definitely not have offered Chen Weiguo a price of forty-five cents. Zhao Dahai looks honest and honest, but in reality he is too cunning.

Ding Xiaoxiang wanted to laugh so hard but Liu Gang was right in front of her. It was too impolite to laugh out loud, and her little face was as suffocated as a ripe red apple.

"Why!"

"Everyone like you would have gotten rich long ago!"

Liu Gang shook his head and handed the money to Zhao Dahai.

"Boss Liu."

"Everything I earn is hard-earned money. You are the one who makes the big money!"

Zhao Dahai took the money and counted it carefully. Earn money yourself? It is indeed making money. The jumping fish caught these days are sold at a very good price. But this was something I only caught after spending three days crawling around in the mudflats under the scorching sun every day. I'm as tired as a dead dog every day. Liu Gang collected these jumping fish and made five or ten times the money.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai carefully. Her face and neck were all tanned to yellowish to black, not to mention her hands and feet, which were as black as carbon. The skin was a little wrinkled in some places. This was sunburn, and the skin would peel off later, and her smile disappeared instantly. , I felt a little sour, and I opened my mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't.
