Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Angkor smiled and said: "You are being polite. When it is inconvenient for everyone to go out, it is appropriate to lend a hand, not to mention borrowing a scale. You are too polite..."

"It should be, you are happy to help others, and I can't take it for granted. Although the dried fish dried at home is not worth much, it still tastes delicious when you eat it. Take it home and try it."

"Hehe, look at what you said, where is it worthless? I think you are still selling it for [-] cents a catty. There are several catties here."

Ye Yaodong smiled, he was not so honest, he took all the dried toad fish, those dried toad fish were not small in size, and they were very big, each one weighed more than a catty, if he really got ten, then It's expensive.

It is also mixed with other cheaper fish, such as small eels that are not worth much. All of them are worth two yuan, which is how much it costs to buy a small scale.

"Hold it, hold it, you're welcome, hey~ a guest is coming, you should do it first..."

"Hey, good, good~"

The dried fish was laughed at just like that.

Holding people's hands short, passing a steelyard back and forth, Angkor was not unhappy, but was always cheerful.

Until he sold out the hundreds of catties of shrimp skins first, he didn't take the scales away immediately, but waited there.

This made Ye Yaodong a little embarrassed, he brought about 300 catties of goods this trip, including 5 sacks, and the remaining two sacks were not sold.

"Well, I'll return the scale to you. I'm too embarrassed to take yours when you're sold out. I'll let you wait here. It's almost noon."

There are not as many small vendors around as in the early morning. Many people have sold out their goods and closed their stalls. Some small carts or bicycles selling breakfast have also left, and some are packing their things and plan to close their stalls in advance.

"How long do you plan to sell?"

"Maybe it will be sold until one o'clock in the afternoon. If it is not sold out by one o'clock in the afternoon, you can only take it home. The car that goes back is said to be at 02:30."

When I came at night, I hired a tractor from the village, because the Mazu Temple was being built there, and sand would be transported several times every three days. I sent them here early this morning, and it happened to transport a truckload of sand back nearby.

Therefore, on the return trip, they had to go to the city to take a car back, and the tractor could not take them.

Yesterday they had already asked in advance. The bus from the city to their county seat runs at 9:02 am and 30:[-] pm. After arriving at the county seat, they have to transfer immediately. If there is no car, it may be time Can only walk home.

Alas, he didn't know whether his luck today was good or bad.

Let’s face it, he hasn’t met a boss who can buy his dried fish at one go; let’s say it’s bad, he sold more than 100 catties of his odd and small catties, and sold seven 80 catties. It's less than ten o'clock in the morning, so it's pretty good.

But the more people went down, the fewer people there were. At this moment, he felt that there were no people, and the comings and goings were scattered, not as crowded as in the early morning, and the sales were slower.

It is estimated that by one o'clock in the afternoon, at most, half a bag can only be sold, and it may only be sold for a dozen catties.

If you don't have a scale, you can only wait a while and borrow it from someone around you.

Angkor also looked at him in embarrassment, and he couldn't waste time here just to wait for him.

Ye Yaodong put the scale directly into his basket, "Thank you, you are sold out, then you can go back first."

"Well then, remember to bring a steelyard tomorrow."

"Ah."

I don't know if I'll be free tomorrow, so it's okay to sell such scattered items, one or two hundred catties a day, and the stock can be sold out in a few days.

It's a pity, if he can meet someone who takes away all the goods at once, he doesn't have to worry about it, but this is too much for granted.

After returning the scale, the father and son continued to sit on the ground, with sacks under their buttocks, planning to wait and see, and if there was still time, they could sell a few catties for a few catties, so as to earn more travel expenses.

Until around 12 o'clock in the afternoon, after they sold another 20 catties, the person who borrowed the scale for the second time also called it a day and went back. Ye Yaodong growled with hunger, looked at his watch, and was impatient to wait any longer.

"Father, let's call it a day and go back. Don't wait any longer. There are fewer and fewer people. If you wait any longer, you won't be able to sell a few catties, and there is no scale. Go to the station early and wait for the bus. I don't know how long it will take. If you can't catch up The shuttle back will be troublesome."

"Okay, then pick the remaining two bags back."

Father Ye stretched his neck again, looked at the large buildings that had already been built on the open space in the distance, and said regretfully: "The construction of this market is too slow, if this shop is in our hands, we don't need to put it here. stall, and the goods don’t have to be so troublesome to be transported back and forth.”

"It's almost there, it should be almost covered."

"Let's go, the stalls around are almost gone. I don't know how long it will take to get on the bus later, and I don't know if the bus is ready, so don't leave early."

Originally, he was reluctant to leave early, but Father Ye himself became anxious while talking, and quickly folded the sack that was sitting on the floor, and stuffed it into the half-sold dried fish bag.

Ye Yaodong also folded the other two short-sold bags and stuffed them in, then tied them with hemp rope a few times, tied the opening tightly, and tied another small hole so that the pole could be passed through and picked up.

"Fortunately, there are only two bags left, and I just picked them. I also sold three bags, and they weigh almost 200 catties. I didn't lose money if I came here today."

As soon as he passed the pole through, his father went to the middle and picked it up.

"Then you pick first, pick half way, or pick for me if you can't pick."

"Come on, you can pick two sacks of millet and put them in the ditch."

Ye Yaodong was speechless for a moment, how long ago did this happen?All the old sesame seeds and rotten millet are still mentioned.

"How long has it been, let me tell you."

"It didn't take long, just a few years ago before the production team was disbanded."

"Then you pick, you pick~"

depressed!

Father Ye held the sack on one side with one hand, carrying more than 100 kilograms of goods, and he seemed to be able to walk with ease, walking without slowness, and chatting with him while walking.

"Next, if the weather is good, we can continue to sunbathe a little more. When the wind blows and you can't go to sea, you can come over and set up a stall to sell slowly. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than buying it cheaply at the pier. In the morning When I came over, I also saw several large carts of toad fish, said to be wholesale for five cents a catty..."

Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's words, "It's not worth it. We only need a thousand catties for a trip. It's not worth sending it over. The difference is one cent and five, and the total difference is only a dozen yuan. There is also a stall fee and round-trip travel expenses." I didn’t make much money, so I can’t still compete with Ah Cai for a job and just accept the goods, right?”

"That's true, it's more cost-effective to keep it at home to dry."

"In fact, we can also collect all the sun-dried ones from the villagers, and then mobilize the villagers to do more together. Let's collect it cheaper and make a little difference in the middle. They can also earn a little more than selling fresh ones. Anyway, we sell it too. By the way, the sales are relatively slow, and we don’t have time to go to the market every day to set up a stall, otherwise it’s quite feasible.”

It would be great if he could meet a wholesaler, he could boldly collect all the dried fish in the village and resell them, which is a pity.

During the past few days of drying the fish, he imagined it very beautifully, but...

"That is to say, although we can sell a lot of money in a day, we still have to go fishing when the weather is good. We don't have so much free time to come here every day to set up a stall. We can only come here occasionally to sell our own."

"Well, the store hasn't arrived yet, and we collect too much dried fish at once, and we don't have a place to store it. If it rains, the old house will leak into a sieve."

sorry~

I had the idea of ​​making a fortune, but I was so lucky that I didn't have time to keep up.

As long as the shop pays faster, he may be bold enough to let the villagers dry more when the weather is good, collect their dried fish and store them in the shop. When it rains and winds up, he can come over when he is free. Sell ​​it.

If you want someone...he can't trust strangers, so don't empty out his goods, after all, he doesn't have time to come to the city every day, and his relatives and friends don't seem to think there is a suitable one.

It's a headache, and it seems to be quite difficult to do business. It's better to fish and save trouble. If it can be rented out, renting out the shop is the most trouble-free.

The father and son chatted while walking, and Father Ye also felt very regretful after hearing his proposal.

Go to the village to collect more dried fish, and you can make money by setting up a stall!

Now he can only watch the opportunity to make money slip away, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Why not Ye Yaodong?

"Let's sell them in the sun first. The ones we dry at home are enough for us to sell for a few days. In case of rainy weather, we can only sell the fresh goods to Ah Cai. We can't dry them or sell them."

"Then wait for our family's goods to sell almost. If the weather is not yet out to sea, we can collect more from the village and send them over to sell?"

"Let's take a look first. Who can say for sure about relying on the sky to eat? However, in the past few days, every household in the village has dried a lot of dried fish. If the time comes, you can consider taking a look."

"After the store is in hand, if we have good weather, we will dry it more, and ask your elder brother and second brother to dry it more. When the time comes, you will collect it, and the villagers will also collect it. You can also put it in the shop. Buy more money."

"Thoughts are all very good~ But you forgot? The eldest brother and the second brother also have their own shop, how can it be my turn to accept them?"

Father Ye shook his head, "The two of them are too honest, they don't have your brains, they like to mess around, and they will follow your ass at most to sell their own things."

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, his father was praising him, right?

"Don't think too much, it's better to sell all the goods at home first, and there are so many left today to go back."

"When I come over tomorrow, I will pull a little less, and I will pick up the ones that save me."

"Just pull one less bag, who knows how much you can sell every day? It's hard to say how much you sell and how little you sell."

"Too……"
