Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 72

Ah Cai conveniently tucked the cigarette behind his ear, he didn't have time to smoke now, "Oh, don't worry, we're old friends, I can't lose you."

"Brother, let's settle the score. You can tell me the number first, so I can consider whether to sell it or not? If it's not worth it, I'll send it to Hongsheng to ask. It's not easy to go out during the typhoon, or I'll send that bass by myself that day." Hongsheng may sell at a higher price..."

The corner of Ah Cai’s mouth twitched. The guy raised the price of that fish, but he didn’t earn 2 yuan. It’s a scam... Now I’m embarrassed to say it.

"Brother, we are all from the same village, from the folks in the village. I collect all your father's goods. Can I not give you a fair price? Don't worry, this erythema will cost 6 yuan and 5 cents a piece." How about it?"

"Isn't your price the same as perch slip? That fish is less than two catties and costs 12 yuan a mouthful. Why is this red spot more valuable than perch slip? Don't think that we country people don't know the goods if we go to the city less often, 8 One catty, if you can, just weigh it!"

Ah Cai felt pain in his heart, and the flesh on his face trembled. Why is this kid getting more and more difficult to talk?Stepping on his bottom line every time.

"It's really not that big of a profit, buddy. If you look at these seafood, you can find out if you go to the town and ask. I only earn one or two cents a catty. I can't even earn a penny for dragon head fish. It's only three to five cents." centi..."

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, it can't hold up to a large amount. What's more, can the dragon head fish compare with this fish? You are so embarrassed Take a point or two to talk about it?"

The spectators nearby also roared with laughter, "That's right, look at your belly, it's obviously full of oil and water!"

"That's right, you should eat less and give up some. Rich people only look at the goods, and they are not short of money. You can just resell them and sell them at a higher price."

Father Ye tried his best to fight, "We have no problem with other products, you can add some of this fish."

Uncle Lin also helped to speak: "We are all as skinny as a bamboo pole. Ah Cai, you have the nerve to lower the price. Hurry up, it's not easy to catch a red spot. I've been fishing for decades and I haven't caught a red spot. Look at this one." It should weigh almost 3 catties, so it must be easy to sell."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The quality of this bright color is really not what we can have near the sea." Agui, who was receiving the goods next door, also ran over to join in the fun, "Ah Cai, do you want it? I will accept it."

"Go, go, what's the matter with you, forget it, 8 yuan is 8 yuan," Ah Cai frowned, with a bitter face, "I really didn't make you money, brother, the money you brought recently I only earn you a few cents for a few fish..."

"Don't be silly, we are all risking our lives to make money by drifting on the sea, you just wait here to receive the goods and you will have a big belly. If you are ashamed to say, you can earn me a few cents. It's not a bad thing. Say it quickly. .”

Ah Cai shut up, earn less and earn less, just pretend to be acquainted with the bosses, and go straight to the scale.

"2 catties 8!"

He made a note on the list, "Great Red Spot 2 catties 8, 22 yuan and 4 cents, and the stingray also helped me carry it to the scale."

When everyone saw the baskets of ray fish, their attention was also focused on the ray fish, and they were all talking about it...

"This ray usually lives on the bottom of the sea, but it's not easy to catch. Ye Laosan is really lucky..."

"I heard that if you hit three nets, it's all rays."

"How did you catch it, Ye Laosan? I think you will 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 onlookers watching the lively folks, "I don't have any skills. I left Dongzi the job of driving the boat to haul nets today. He towed several nets. Maybe he has a lot of new recruits."

"Is that so?"

"Really or not?"

Everyone is wondering, should we try it too?But after thinking about it, there are no newcomers in the family except for women and children. I can't ask women and children to sail, and I can only give up after thinking about it.

I can only envy and envy watching others get rich.

"Rayfish, 386 catties, this one catty is 1 cents and 8 cents, the total... Let me do the math, the total is 69 yuan and 4 cents. Forget it, remember 8 yuan and 69 cents." Afraid that Ye Yaodong would be long-winded again, he took the initiative to round up up.

In fact, Ye Yaodong wanted him to round up to 70, but he restrained himself. 5 cents is not a lot now, so it can't be counted as a fraction.

"The three baskets of Balang fish were also brought over and weighed..."

"This is three cents a catty?" Ye Yaodong asked uncertainly.

"Correct!"

"Don't sell this balang fish, father?"

It's so cheap, only three yuan for a hundred catties, it's really better to keep it at home to dry.

Mother Ye also smiled and said: "Today we harvested a lot, this balang fish is worthless, and we all like to eat it, why don't we just keep it and don't sell it, let's half dry it and half marinate it."

"Okay, take it back later." Father Ye nodded. Today's income is quite good, and it's not bad for the three or four yuan of Balangyu. It's not bad to save a few dozen catties to eat slowly.

The seaside people cannot have fish on their dinner table, if there is no bowl of fish on the table, it means that there is nothing to match today.

After weighing all the shrimps and crabs, the total price is 96 yuan and 5 cents. Everyone is really jealous now. If they sell the Balang fish, they will earn more than [-] yuan a day, which is too greedy.

After they weighed in, it was Lin Jingye's turn. He smiled and shook his head, "Compared to you, mine is like three melons and two dates."

"It's not bad, it looks like yours should be worth about [-] yuan."

"If I didn't see your goods, I would be very happy. After the typhoon, there are indeed more seafood than before."

Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, Uncle Lin, you can still haul so much cargo, is it more than enough than the top?"

"Indeed, it seems that you have grown a lot, help me carry this basket of crabs..."

"okay!"

They chatted a little while helping each other, and after they borrowed the cart, they put the remaining balang fish and miscellaneous fish into the cart. Come be a drunk crab.

Because when Mother Ye cooked afternoon snacks for the workers, she deliberately left two extra bowls of gnocchi, and it didn’t take long, and it happened to be hot. As soon as they came back and took a shower, they ate the gnocchi directly, and went to Catch up on sleep.

It wasn't until dinner time that I was woken up.

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing who was sitting on the bedside folding clothes with a confused face, then moved over and hugged 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 all over my body, don't cling to me, you get up and eat first, I need to take a shower first."

"I just woke up, and it hasn't been long since I finished eating snacks. I'll eat later. You wash yours. I just don't want to look at you."

"Then you go out and look at the children, who have just finished taking a bath, so don't let them get all over again."

Anyway, just don't let him stay in the house and watch it.

"alright."

It's not that I haven't seen it!
