In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 198 Put the price up
After the gun went off.

The boobies were all scared away, and none of them dared to stay on the fishing boat.

Li Duoyu glanced at the booby that the hall brother shot down. It should be a brown booby, a large sea bird, no smaller than a chicken at all.

Adult boobies can grow to about 70 centimeters. The back of this bird is tan and the belly is white. Because they have to swim and fish in the sea, their claws are similar to duck feet.

Li Duoyu remembers that when he was a child, there were still many seabirds on Xijiajiao and Dongjiajiao near Dandan Island.

But in that era, fishermen even had to turn in the sea fish they caught for unified distribution.

And this kind of seabird is not in the plan, and the booby is very big, with a lot of meat, and the eggs are quite big.

So some fishermen who want to eat meat will go to these reefs to set traps and steal bird eggs.

As a result, it was passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, and within two years, the brown booby population disappeared from Xijiajiao directly, and there were no traces of these boobies in the offshore.

Li Shuguang picked up a booby and handed it to Li Duoyu: "Would you like to have one, the meat is roasted, it's pretty good."

Li Duoyu shook his head: "You shot, the meat is full of those small particles, if you don't handle it well, your teeth will break if you bite."

His cousin's gun is an earthen gun. When he shoots, he needs to pour small particles into the muzzle, which is a bit like a shotgun, but it's not that powerful. It can only be used to shoot birds and small animals.

Li Shuguang said with a little distaste: "I'll give you something to eat, and I'll pick and choose. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Xiaochao and Shitou."

"Give it to them, I don't eat birds."

The main reason is that Li Duoyu had really eaten brown boobies before. Because this kind of bird eats seafood all the year round, the bird meat is a bit rough, and it really doesn't taste as good as chicken.

As an experienced farmer, he knows very well that many game meats are not necessarily better than farmed ones, and most of them have a foul smell.

After the school of mackerel and mackerel were attacked by the joint force of the sea, land and air, they were eaten up directly, and even a small fish could not escape in the end.

Looking at the quiet sea.

Stone couldn't help asking: "Shall we still fish now?"

Li Duoyu took a look at today's fish harvest. Although the sixth son came to disrupt the situation, it was already a bumper harvest.

Looking at the rough horse watch on his wrist, it was already 12:30.

It's another three hours to go back.

It will be about 03:30 in the afternoon to arrive at Qingkou Wharf. If you go back at this point, the fishmongers at the wharf should not have withdrawn yet.

This time, there are no friends from overseas provinces to send them ice cubes. If they go back late and the fish is damaged, they will not be able to sell at a high price.

"Let's go, go back."

After several hours of fishing, Zhang Jinsha, whose arms were already a little numb, nodded quickly. He didn't want to work for Li Duoyu for nothing anymore.

The more you catch, the more you lose.

when returning.

Instead of relying on Li Duoyu to lead the way, Li Shuguang took out the sextant that his father gave him when he was in the fishery team.

After seeing this thing, Li Duoyu was also a little surprised. In this era without GPS, if you want to fish in the open sea, you must learn to use a sextant.

And Li Shuguang's set should be given to him by his father. When he became the captain of the fishery team, his uncle went to training and learned to use the compass and sextant.

This thing is quite complicated, not only to measure, but also to calculate and refer to the nautical almanac.

Someone told him about it before, but when he started fishing, the fishing boats were already equipped with GPS, so he never learned it.

Although my cousin doesn't have a high diploma and didn't even graduate from junior high school, but because he often played with fishing boats when he was young, he played sextant like a thief.

Not long after.

I calculated the latitude and longitude, and then marked the location of my fishing boat on a black and white global map. After using the compass, I knew the specific direction of Qingkou Wharf on the spot.

Even Li Duoyu was ashamed of himself in this move. He was able to come to the open sea because of his experience and feeling, as long as he left this sea area.

Li Duoyu will definitely lose his sense of direction in the vast sea, but his cousin has actually figured out where he is.

If you have this skill, if you go to any state-owned fishing company, others will rush to get it, especially the recently established ocean-going fishing company.

Before leaving.

Li Duoyu looked at the sea, and there was not a single fishing boat in the blank sea. Thanks to him, he brought the reply letter from Ma Xiumei's neighbor. It's a pity that he didn't meet the old man this time, otherwise he would ask him for some smoothies.

After the fishing boat started to return.

Everyone sat on the deck to rest, and everyone carried some dry food with them.

The three of Li Duoyu and the others ate meat-filled light cakes made by Chen Huiying, while Shitou and Zhang Jinsha brought some triangular cakes and oil cakes.

But for coastal people, no matter if they eat dry food or meals, if there is no soup, they have no soul.

So, Li Duoyu became the gang leader, and cooked the remaining miscellaneous fish directly into a pot of miscellaneous fish soup.

Dandan Island is very fond of drinking miscellaneous fish soup. For Li Duoyu and others, pork is not easy to buy.

The soup they drink is almost all miscellaneous fish soup. When cooking, just add some shredded ginger, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also warm the stomach.

After more than three hours of rough seas.

The fishing boat came to Qingkou Wharf.

To everyone's surprise, the pier is quite lively today, with several fishing boats queuing up, and baskets of swimming crabs piled up on the pier.

You don't need to think about it to know that the swimming crab season is coming again, and the fishmongers are very busy at the moment.

Another person shouted with a loudspeaker: "Swimming crab, [-] cents, hairtail [-] cents, if you want to sell it, hurry up, if it's too late, no one will want it, so I can only pull it to make salty crab."

Coincidentally.

Li Duoyu met the tugboat of the third uncle's family at the pier, and the second uncle and the others were carrying baskets of swimming crabs on the boat to the pier.

It has been seven or eight days since I saw third uncle and the others going out to sea in the middle of the night last time.

According to the third uncle's habit, it must be the last stop when we return to Qingkou Wharf to sell swimming crabs.

Because of the arrest of his cousin Li Yujun, the third uncle really worked hard all year, and he never missed every seasonal seafood.

Although she made a lot of money this year, the third aunt was worried that Yujun would be bullied inside, so she would go to the prison every once in a while to give some cigarettes, alcohol and benefits to the guards.

Most of the money earned was spent on this, and there was not much left.

As for the little black who sold the Buddha's head, his life was not so good. He was sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison for selling cultural relics.

And their family didn't have much money in the first place, and in addition to being sentenced for too many years, the family almost gave up on him.

I visited once a year, and after the visit, I didn't dare to go again, because people like them who have no money to make connections have the least status in the prison.

Li Duoyu has a deep understanding of this. Even now, he still occasionally dreams of the horrible experience in prison in his previous life.

After seeing them, Li Duoyu shouted at them.

"Third Uncle, Second Uncle, when did you come back?"

The third uncle Li Zhengfa, who was carrying swimming crabs, heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw Li Duoyu not far away.

Seeing Li Duoyu on Li Shuguang's fishing boat, Li Zhengfa knew where they were going in an instant.

"Did you go fishing in the open sea again? How many fish did you catch today?"

"Not much caught."

"Just some horse mackerel and grouper."

And Zhang Jicai, who was weighing swimming crabs, hurriedly shouted to him after hearing that Li Duoyu had gone fishing.

"Duoyu, you haven't come to my business for a long time. Remember to sell good products to me. The price is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Lao Zhang shouted like this.

The other fishmongers at the wharf were a little emotional on the spot: "Old Zhang, can you do it in order, the fishing boats haven't docked yet, so you start robbing them."

Zhang Jicai replied: "According to the order of wool, if my regular customers don't sell it to me, why don't they sell it to you?"

"Fart, the one with the highest price will get better, believe it or not, I'll put the price up, and see if the long fish will sell you."

Old Zhang hummed:

"Come on, whoever is afraid of price-setting is afraid that you will not dare to make a price."

"Old Zhang, you are getting more and more arrogant."

The other fishmongers were also very helpless. Because Lao Zhang had a relative who was a buyer in the hotel of the Foreign Trade Center, they really had to fight up the price, and they were the ones who suffered in the end.

Let's all talk about it.

But these fishmongers are still united, and there are very few cases of malicious bidding and stealing customers.

But today there is a young fishmonger named Li Ergou who doesn't seem to like them, but intends to break the circle and try.

Before Li Duoyu and his fishing boats docked, Li Ergou passed other fishing boats and jumped onto his fishing boat two or three times.

After seeing the big mackerel all over the ground.

Li Ergou stared wide-eyed, picked up a mackerel, smelled it, touched it, and found that the mackerel was very fresh.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the imported fishing rods on the side, and Li Ergou couldn't help asking, "Did you catch these mackerels?"

Without waiting for Li Duoyu to answer, Zhang Jinsha took the lead and said, "Of course it was caught. The mackerel caught in the net is not so beautiful."

Li Ergou frowned and thought about it for a while, then asked Li Duoyu, "No matter how big or small, can you sell it for thirty-five cents a catty?"

"If it's for sale, I'll take all these mackerel."

Seeing Li Ergou, a stunned young man who doesn't talk about martial arts so much, and Lao Zhang who is counting money with others, he was so angry that he scolded on the spot: "Your uncle, Ergou, don't make trouble."

Then he shouted to Li Duoyu on the fishing boat: "No matter how much Ergou pays, my old Zhang will pay half of it."

"Old Zhang, you are awesome."

Li Ergou snorted: "I don't believe it if I pay four cents directly, but you dare to add half a cent."

The fishmongers at the wharf found it very interesting to see the two men bidding.

"Come on, old Zhang, don't be cowardly."

"Forty-five cents, beat Ergou down."

"Ergou, come on, win this big client."

Some boat bosses who were always undercut by the fishmongers also booed when they saw someone bidding.

"Don't be cowardly, put the price up."

"Damn it, these profiteers are suppressing our prices every day, and now they are bleeding too."

Seeing that everyone at the pier was booing, Zhang Jicai couldn't hold back his face after being teased like this. After thinking for a while, he frowned and shouted: "Damn it, I pay forty-two cents."

After hearing Lao Zhang's offer, boos abounded on the pier.

"It's not how much you say, how much Ergou pays, you add half a hair, why do you add two points?"

Lao Zhang replied, "If you have the guts, come here."

Li Ergou thought for a while, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Damn it, I pay [-] cents, I don't believe you want more."

Lao Zhang shouted: "Fourty cents, if you dare to call fourty-five cents, I will give it to you."

See the price soared to forty-four cents.

Li Ergou took a look at those mackerel fish, they were very big and of good quality.

But if it reaches [-] cents, after deducting the transportation fee, there is no money to be made, and [-] cents will be paid back.

Although he also wanted Li Duoyu as a big client, if he wanted to continue, he would have to tear himself apart with Lao Zhang.

We all belong to the same pier, and there is really no need to see those who look up and look down.

"I'm sorry, I'll give it to you."

Lao Zhang cursed and said: "Ergou, you kid did it on purpose. Raise your hand, you're very happy, aren't you?"

Li Ergou hehe said: "I can't help it, business is difficult, why don't you give it to me for four cents."

"You think beautiful."

The stones on the fishing boat were a bit unresponsive. Usually, the mackerel was sold for only three cents at most. The mackerel they caught was good, but they really couldn’t be sold for four cents.

"Lao Sha, when did mackerel become so expensive, even more expensive than large yellow croaker?"

Zhang Jinsha sighed: "It's not that the mackerel is expensive, but Li Duoyu's fish, that's why it's expensive?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Zhang Jinsha glanced at Shi Shi with disgust: "When you do business in the future, you will understand that not every order can make money."

However, the higher the purchase price, Zhang Jinsha felt a great pain in his heart. These mackerels add up to at least 600 catties.

According to the purchase price of [-] cents.

It was nearly 300 yuan, and half of the mackerel was caught by him.

If you choose a fishing package of 30 yuan today, you can not only save the fishing fee, but also earn more than 100 yuan.

As far as the clams he breeds, how many catties have to be sold to earn more than 100.

And after Lao Zhang reported the price of [-] cents, he was full of regrets. The price was really too high. If the freight was not included, he would lose more than [-] cents per catty.

And right now.

Li Duoyu opened the two large buckets covered by tarpaulins: "Old Zhang, there are still a lot of groupers here, do you want them?"

After seeing the grouper and snapper in the bucket, Lao Zhang became excited.

"That's no use thinking about it, for sure."

"Duoyu, I lost a lot just now, you fish should sell me cheaper, don't do it again."

Li Duoyu was a little embarrassed when he saw that the mackerel had soared to [-] cents, so he raised the prices of grouper and snapper.

"No problem, the normal price is fine."

Old Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

Just some time ago, his nephew said that the hotel had set up some live fresh ponds and wanted a batch of live seafood.

Selling the grouper and snapper to his nephew should even out the money lost by the mackerel.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhang brought several baskets and filled them with Li Duoyu's mackerel, seven baskets in full.

"Mackerel 625 catties."

"Forty-four cents a catty."

"275 bucks"

"These groupers and snappers are all six cents."

"185 catties, 111 yuan."

"A total of 386 yuan."

The ship bosses on the pier gasped when they heard the price, and started talking about it.

"Is fishing in the open sea so profitable?"

"Such a small boat earns more than us."

Li Zhengfa on the side was really envious of the more than 30 cards of Great Unity that Li Duoyu got in his hand.

He took a group of people out to sea for seven days, and only sold the head and tail for more than 600 yuan. After deducting fuel expenses, food expenses, and crew salaries, he got less than 100 yuan.

But I just heard from Li Shuguang that he earned more than that, and the fishing fee for Shitou and Zhang Jinsha, a total of 30 yuan.

In other words, Li Duoyu's net profit for this day was more than 400 yuan, four times his.

Think of this.

Li Zhengfa couldn't help sighing, is he old and will be eliminated by today's young people?

　The two chapters were merged into one chapter, and part of the (river crab) plot was deleted.

　　The river crab part is about the main character catching sharks, and involves some topics related to sharks (Puqi).

　　In fact, our country has never been a shark fishing country, not even [-]% of the fishing volume.

　　But at the beginning, the white glove environmental organization put a big hat on it, saying that sharks were eaten and extinct by us.

　　At that time, a group of people who had been fooled and crippled also stood up for environmental protection organizations, saying that eating shark fins and shark skin was cruel.

　　In fact, our country has always been a downstream industry of sharks, and shark fins are sold to us because they are leftovers that others do not want.

　　I won’t talk about the specifics, I’m afraid it will be harmonized here, so you can search for it yourself.
