Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 968 Look at the fish, look at the fish!

"what?"

“Has it increased so much?”

Shi Jiehua was shocked. He had just returned to the dock, and he had no idea how many fish the surrounding fishing boats had caught. In this case, it was really the right time for him to return to the dock.

"What can be done about this?"

"Not only speedboats that go out to sea to fish can't catch fish, but also fishing boats can't catch fish. The prices of fish, shrimps and crabs on our coast will definitely rise."

"This is a good thing for us. With this opportunity, we can earn at least 10% more, or even 20% more, from the fish we catch."

Zhao Dahai waved his hand. Even if the gods came, there would be no fish in the sea. If there were no fish, there would be no fish. He was very good at fishing, but he couldn't catch any fish. It was even more difficult to say about the others. Shi Jiehua and his men went out to sea to fish and returned to the dock at the right time. This was a chance for God to give them to make money.

"Row!"

"Anyway, the fish we caught this time are all croakers, which can be sold at a good price even if they are not fresh. We might as well wait for another two or three days to see what the price is before making a move."

Shi Jiehua took a look at the fish being weighed on He Jian's sea fishing boat. These were all money and he had to think carefully about how to sell them at a high price. Such an opportunity must not be missed or wasted.

Zhao Dahai no longer paid attention to this matter. People with many years of experience like Shi Jiehua knew very well how to take advantage of such opportunities and would definitely be able to sell at the best or even the highest price.

After Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua had discussed the matter, they left the fishing boat and boarded Shi Zhongwei's sea fishing boat.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Come and get your money."

As soon as Zhao Dahai walked into the cab of the sea fishing boat, he heard Shi Zhongwei shouting loudly that he could get paid.

Zhao Dahai smiled. Both the sea fishing boat that Zhongwei was on and the other sea fishing boat hired people to fish. These people all received a fixed salary. Now that the sea fishing boats were docked, they all came to collect their wages. The number of fish caught had nothing to do with these people. The fish on the fishing boats did not need to be weighed now, and they could wait until tomorrow to deal with this matter.

"Everyone listen carefully."

"In addition to the fixed salary, each person will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan."

Shi Zhongwei saw Zhao Dahai, but he was handing out money, so he just said hello and continued with his work. It took him almost an hour to finish the task at hand.

"Yo!"

"The momentum of handing out money is really incredible."

"He looks like an old man."

Zhao Dahai waited until he finished his work before walking in front of Shi Zhongwei.

"what!"

"Brother Dahai."

"You're right! It really feels good to be a boss like this when you hand out money."

Shi Zhong picked up the water cup for him and drank the water in big gulps. He was a little thirsty because he had been shouting while handing out money.

"How many fish did you catch this time?"

When Zhao Dahai just got on He Jian's fishing boat, he already knew that Shi Zhong had caught a lot of fish for the boat, but he had to ask exactly how many.

"I'm not sure exactly how many fish we caught, but it was definitely not less than what Wu Dabin and his crew on Uncle He Jian's fishing boat caught. In fact, the number of fish we caught wasn't much different."

Shi Zhongwei really didn't know how many croakers were caught on his sea fishing boat. Wu Dabin and the others on He Jian's sea fishing boat all paid the sub-fishing fee to go fishing at sea. All the fish caught were theirs. Almost every day they would weigh the fish or roughly estimate how many fish they caught. They knew very well how many fish they caught. All the people on his boat were invited to fish. The fish caught every day, even when the number reached a certain level, would be directly pulled into the cold storage and would not be weighed. They would even deliberately not weigh them to avoid the invited fishermen knowing that too many fish were caught and becoming dissatisfied.

"Not bad!"

"It's really great. If we can catch so many fish, we can make a lot of money on this trip out to sea."

Zhao Dahai was very satisfied. When he went out to sea last time, he found that there were a lot of small croakers in the big croaker field, and they were very easy to catch. He immediately suggested that Shi Jiehua and his friends go out to sea as soon as they came back. Wu Dabin and other people who went out to sea to fish last time reserved half of the fishing spots, and the remaining half of the fishing spots were reserved by people who were invited to go out to sea to fish. All the fish caught belonged to Shi Jiehua and himself, and the money they earned was much more than the money they earned from booking the fishing spots.

"what!"

"Brother Dahai."

"If it wasn't like this, why did they send out a red envelope of 10,000 yuan just now?"

Shi Zhong was very happy as this was the first time he went out to sea alone in a sea fishing boat. He caught so many fish and earned so much money.

"Correct!"

“This money has to be paid.”

Zhao Dahai agreed with this approach very much. After they ate the meat, they had to drink a bowl of soup with the people who helped with the work. When the salary was paid at the end of this month, he and Ding Xiaoxiang directly gave a red envelope of 500,000 yuan to Zhong Shizhu and others.

"Yo!"

"Why is Liu Lei's fat guy here?"

"what?!"

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang is here."

"Ailian is here."

Shi Zhongwei saw a seafood truck coming up to the dock. The door opened and the first person to get out was Liu Lei, followed by Yang Qin, then Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Ailian. His eyes widened suddenly, and he ignored Zhao Dahai and quickly ran out of the cab and rushed directly to the dock.

Zhao Dahai smiled, walked out of the cab and went up to the dock.

"What are you doing?"

"What can so many people here at the dock say?"

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"On the fishing boat, I think."

Zhao Dahai reminded Shi Zhongwei and Ding Ailian.

Ding Ailian blushed, but Shi Zhongwei was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all. However, the two of them immediately got on the sea fishing boat and returned to the cab.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Dahai asked as he and Ding Xiaoxiang got on the sea fishing boat. He received a call from Ding Dawen and knew that Shi Zhongwei and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat had returned, so he had to come over to take a look. It was late, so he didn't call Ding Xiaoxiang. Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaoxiang came over with Yang Qin and Liu Lei.

"If there's nothing else to do, we just came over to take a look. One reason is that we want to see how many croakers Shi Zhong has caught for them this time."

"Even if I don't come, Yang Qin and Liu Lei will come all the same. They won't be able to sleep if they don't take a look at these fish. And Ding Ailian knows that Shi Zhongwei is back, so she will also come to take a look. So we might as well come together."

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Yang Qin and Liu Lei, especially Ding Ailian.

"what!"

"Alright alright!"

"If you all want to come and take a look, then just come here and take a look!"

"Let's not go into the cabin yet. Let's go to the cabin and check out the croakers in the cold storage."

Zhao Dahai called out to Liu Lei, then turned and walked towards the cold storage of the sea fishing boat. One reason was that they were concerned about the caught croakers, and the other was that Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei were in the cab, so they had to leave some space for them to talk first.

"Hey!" "Brother Dahai."

"It looks like Shi Zhong caught quite a few of these croakers for them this time."

When Liu Lei opened the hatch of the cold storage, he saw it was full. He knew without asking that there must be a lot of croakers caught.

"Shi Zhongwei said that the fish caught by these people will not be less than those caught by Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin who go out to sea at designated fishing spots. On average, one fishing spot should be able to catch about 5,000 kilograms or 6,000 kilograms of croaker."

Zhao Dahai pulled away the broken ice covering the top, revealing a box filled with the caught croaker.

"Yo!"

"There are a total of 20 fishing spots on the sea fishing boat. If we calculate this way, wouldn't we be able to catch 120,000 kilograms or even more of croaker on this trip?"

Liu Lei quickly calculated the bill.

"Correct!"

"One hundred thousand jin is definitely there."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he picked up a fish. It was not big, but not small either, weighing about ten pounds.

"This head is already quite good. It can be sold at a good price no matter in my restaurant or in Boss Wu Weimin's restaurant."

Liu Lei took a close look at the croaker in Zhao Dahai's hand. The size of this fish could not be compared with the fish Zhao Dahai caught on the artificial islands and reefs, but it was already a good size. A croaker weighing seven or eight kilograms or more than ten kilograms was very easy to sell.

"Liu Lei."

"I think a croaker of this size is more suitable for Hongyun Restaurant or even for Boss Wu's private restaurant."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he put down the fish in his hand, scraped it twice, picked up a fish weighing seven or eight kilograms, and then picked up another fish weighing about three kilograms and placed it next to it.

"what?"

"Brother Dahai?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Lei was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Zhao Dahai said that.

"Brother Dahai."

"You're not thinking of selling those 20, 30, or even 40 kilograms of croaker you caught to other people, are you?"

"I have to tell you that this is not the case at all. Large croakers weighing 10 to 20 kilograms are indeed easier to sell in Hongyun Restaurant or Mr. Wu Weimin's private restaurant, but this does not mean that immune wine weighing 30 to 50 kilograms is difficult to sell."

"A large croaker weighing 10 to 8 kilograms is a fish that almost everyone can afford, and everyone likes to eat fish, but a croaker weighing 20 to 30 kilograms is a completely different level of consumption."

"Whether it's my Hongyun Restaurant or Boss Wu Weimin's private restaurant, they all sell very well."

"You can't sell these fish to other people. You have to leave them for me and Boss Wu."

Without thinking, Liu Lei turned his head and looked at Ding Xiaoxiang who was standing next to him.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"You have to take care of this matter! You can't just not sell it to us, the price is negotiable!"

Liu Lei immediately pretended to be pitiful.

"What are you doing?"

“I’m just talking about this.”

"If you think that 30-50 kg croakers are easy to sell, then just leave them to you and Boss Wu. Can you make more money by selling them to others?"

Zhao Dahai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't have such an idea. He was just saying it casually.

"what!"

"Brother Dahai."

"You really underestimate the consumption level of people today!"

"Can you tell me how many of those large groupers weighing 70 to 80 kilograms or even over 100 kilograms were sold in my store?"

"But it's often several hundred yuan per pound, but as long as you take one, you can sell it almost immediately."

"I don't know much about restaurants in other places, but the number of wealthy people who come to eat at my restaurant is increasing!"

"The price of 30-50 kg croaker is not low. It is very popular. People often call to order one or two!"

Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had some other plans or that someone else wanted to buy the 30 to 50 kilograms of croaker from Zhao Dahai at a high price, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Forget it!"

"Why should I think about doing business? That's your business and has nothing to do with me."

"If you think these 30-50 kg croakers are very sellable, then I'll leave them all to you and Boss Wu."

"Shi Zhong and He Jian went out to sea on four fishing boats to fish for croakers, and all of them were of this size."

"Some weigh three to five kilograms, some weigh ten to eight kilograms, and a small number weigh about fifteen kilograms."

"All the people on Uncle Shi Jiehua's fishing boat are Gao Zhicheng. Those who catch the bighead carp must take the fish they catch back home."

"Uncle Shi collected most of the fish caught by the people who went out to sea to fish."

"If you add it all up, I estimate that the amount of croaker caught during this trip is about 300,000 kilograms."

"It might be as much as 350,000 kilograms!"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he glanced at Ding Xiaoxiang who was standing next to him.

It is impossible to leave all these fish to Liu Lei or Wu Weimin. It will take a long time for their restaurant or private restaurant to sell so many fish, so they must sell some of them.

"Ok!"

"Wait for this matter. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will discuss with Uncle Shi Jiehua and Uncle He Jian to see how to deal with it."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. With so many fish, she had to think carefully about how to sell them at the highest price. Never underestimate selling fish, as it is a technical job. The same fish can be sold at different prices and different people can earn different amounts of money.

"These are all croakers. There is no need to sell them in a short time."

"Hasn't the price of fish increased significantly recently? Let's wait and see how the price is in a few days. If the price is good, we will sell it. If the price is not good, we can wait a little longer."

……

"There are those that weigh more than 10 kilograms, those that weigh 7 or 8 kilograms, and those that weigh 3 or 5 kilograms. We have to pick them out and divide them into categories."

"The price difference between different sizes of croaker is very large."

……

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at the three croakers of different sizes that Zhao Dahai had taken out and laid out, and quickly figured out how to sell them at a good price.
