The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 11 Make Money

"Sister~ Grandpa, grandma and aunt came back from the sea and caught a lot of things, come and take a look~" Su Jinyang ran into the grocery store like a whirlwind.

Su Manjin and Zeng Meiyue looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and were dragged by their younger brother to the small courtyard of the old house.

There are several buckets and baskets beside the well in the yard.

Su Manjin took a closer look, and couldn't help sighing: "Grandma, aunt, this is a bumper harvest for you!"

When Su Jinshun got home, he hurriedly changed his clothes. Su Yumei, mother and daughter, were sorting out today's harvest.

"Xiao Man, the method you taught me yesterday is really useful. Look, I dug up a lot of meretrix clams." Su Yumei pointed at the bamboo basket happily.

The basket contained meretrix meretrix, many of which were the size of a palm and weighed eight or nine catties.

"Those snails were collected by your grandma in the crevices of the reefs. She has picked them up before, and she is very skilled. You can see that there are so many."

There are golden snails and spicy snails mixed in the black bucket by the well, as well as seven or eight large snails, a few razor clams and shrimps.

"We went early today, the tide just receded, and there were a lot of things left behind. As soon as we got to the beach, we buried our heads in work. Look, these clams weigh about ten catties!"

Su Yumei pointed to the big bamboo basket next to the clams, which were full of clams and were still stained with damp sand.

"Wow, Auntie, you guys are amazing! Can you catch live fish?!" Su Manjin was a little surprised. There were actually two 20-centimeter crucian carp in the red plastic bucket, and one of them was still swimming. swim.

"Those two fish were brought up when the tide was high. Your grandfather took a bucket and a fork and waded down to catch them!"

"Today is the [-]th, the tide is high, and there are more things brought up than usual." Grandma Zhou Xiuni replied with a smile.

"There are also those crabs that your grandfather caught in the cobblestone cave when the tide was low." There were five or six fat swimming crabs in the small bamboo basket, and a bunch of smaller Huadan crabs.

Su Manjin was convinced.It still needs a professional person to catch the sea.Although the timing of the high tide is favorable, it also requires proficiency to gain a lot.

Su Jinshun and Zhou Xiuni have spent half their lives dealing with the fields, and only in the past few years have they started farming oysters in shallow seas.

It's just that they are all busy doing business—stringing oyster shells, hanging oysters, harvesting oysters, opening oysters, drying oysters or selling oyster meat.Every family in the village came here like this.

This time, seeing that my granddaughter can actually earn a lot of money by going to the sea, I thought about trying my luck, but I didn't expect that the harvest was more than that of raising sea oysters.

Su Jinshun changed his clothes and came out, just in time to see Su Manjin squatting by the well looking at their spoils today with admiration.He walked over with a smile and fondled his granddaughter's hair.

The girl looked up happily: "Grandpa, we caught so many things, do you want to sell them?"

Su Jinshun looked into his granddaughter's shining eyes, and said with a smile, "Let's keep some for ourselves and send some to restaurants to sell? What do you think?"

"Yeah, this crucian carp can be sold for a lot of money. We can take it there."

"There are also clams, large conchs, and crabs. Uncle Wang said he wanted to buy them yesterday. You can bring more."

"Flower clams and golden snails are relatively common, and they are not very valuable. You can bring a little, but you don't need too many."

Su Jinshun nodded immediately after listening to his granddaughter's orderly arrangement: "Okay, just follow what Xiaoman said."

Su Manjin went to the store to say hello to Zeng Meiyue, Su Jinshun quickly packed up his things and came over to the store.

"Dad, take the bicycle if you want to use it. Go there early and have lunch when you come back." Seeing her father-in-law coming, Zeng Meiyue hurriedly handed him the bicycle key.

Su Jinshun hung a bag and a bucket on the handlebars on both sides of the bicycle, and put a hat on Su Manjin's head to prevent the little girl from catching a cold. The grandfather and grandson rode the bicycle to the restaurant.

In less than 15 minutes, we arrived at the entrance of Wangchunfeng Restaurant.

Su Jinshun locked his bicycle, carrying a bag in one hand and a bucket in the other, looking at the magnificent restaurant facade, he was a little cautious.It was the first time for him to come to the restaurant, and he didn't know whether to let him in or not.

Su Manjin walked towards the front desk with a contented expression.

"Hello, I'm Su Manjin. I agreed with Uncle Wang Chunfeng yesterday to deliver some seafood to your back kitchen. Is Uncle Wang here?"

At the front desk of the restaurant is the proprietress, a woman in her 30s. She smiled gently: "Look for Chunfeng, he is busy. I'll take you to the back kitchen." Then she asked the waiter to look at the front hall.

Wang Chunfeng was talking to the head chef, when he saw Su Manjin and the others coming over, he smiled and said, "Hey, little girl, what good things did you catch today?" Yesterday's sea cucumber left his impression of this little girl profound.

"Hello, uncle, your restaurant is really booming. I just came here and saw that the lobby and boxes are full."

Su Manjin: "Today my grandfather went to catch the sea and caught a lot of good things. I brought some of them here for you. Show me."

Su Jinshun hurriedly handed over the bag and bucket in his hand, put them on the desk and lifted off the moisturizing cotton cloth covering them.

"That's right. The crucian carp looks fresh. The crabs are fat too." Wang Chunfeng nodded.

"Well, both clams and big snails are needed. The few I bought from you yesterday, my wife took them home and made soup. They are very fresh. We will open this soup in the restaurant in the future."

"Little girl, I will accept all the things you brought today. This wild crucian carp and crab will be given to you at 15 yuan per catty. Meretrix meretrix and conch will be 10 yuan per catty at yesterday's price. Clams and gold The snails cost 2 yuan per catty, if you think it’s okay, I’ll ask the kitchen staff to weigh in, and if there are any more in the future, we’ll also trade at this price.” Wang Chunfeng was very forthright.

Su Manjin smiled brightly. This boss is good at doing business, and he is sincere.

"Thank you uncle, I will do as you said."

"You can also ask the back kitchen to list the best-selling seafood dishes, and our family can focus on it for you in the future."

"By the way, uncle, I may not be free to come over during the middle of the week for school. This is my grandfather Su Jinshun, and he will come over to deliver the goods to you in the future." Su Manjin introduced.

Wang Chunfeng patted Su Jinshun on the shoulder enthusiastically, "Brother, your granddaughter is not simple, she can start a business at a young age."

Su Jinshun smiled honestly, with a proud radiance on his face: "Our Xiaoman has been smart and sensible since he was a child."

After the back kitchen weighed, Wang Chunfeng asked someone to make a list, counting the quantity, price and total amount of the goods received today.He took a look and asked his wife to pay the amount to Su Jinshun.

After bidding farewell to Wang Chunfeng, the grandfather and grandson walked out of Wangchunfeng Restaurant.

Su Jinshun held the banknotes and the list given by the restaurant, and felt that his steps were floating.

鲫鱼32元+文蛤75元+海螺和螃蟹55元+花蛤13元+黄金螺8元=183元！
Now the wages for a day's work are only 30 yuan, and the three of them went to sea for more than half a day and earned 6 days' wages!

Even though I go out at 2 o'clock in the morning and come back at noon, even if it is almost the same as the time I went to work, I have earned [-] days' wages!I didn't even dare to think about it before.

Su Manjin looked at her grandfather in disbelief, and she felt a little sad.

Grandpa has been used to hardship all his life. All he does is manual labor, hard work and little income.

In the last life, he and his grandma raised a few children to grow up and start a family, all thanks to their hard work.

"Grandpa, we can continue to cooperate with Uncle Wang in the future. As long as we get something out of the sea and we make money, life will get better and better."

Su Jinshun: "Well, Grandpa believes it! As long as we work hard and go to the sea according to the law of tides, we will definitely be better than farming!"

"Grandpa, now that we have the start-up capital, we can consider expanding the business, and we will have more income by then."

"Huh? Can there be more income?" Su Jinshun asked excitedly, grabbing his granddaughter's hand.

"Oh, grandpa, I'm hungry. Let's go home and finish our meal first, and then we'll add up slowly."
