Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 13 Want to move to town as soon as possible

People were coming and going at the port pier, and the large wooden basins placed in front of the stalls selling sea fish were much larger than the ones the Guo family had set up before.The types of seafood displayed in front of the seafood stalls were much more diverse than what Chang Pingning had encountered on the beach before.

When Chang Pingning put Guo Bomo on the boat and headed back, he carefully walked around some big stalls for a while.In front of the large-scale seafood stall, there are both marine fish and seafood, and half of the people who come to do business with them place orders in bulk.

When Chang Pingning was squatting in front of the stall picking seafood, he heard someone directly place an order for ten buckets of clams and five buckets of snails.Chang Pingning was surprised at how much money the stall owner made from this business, when she saw rows of carts not far ahead, the same style as what she saw at Guo's house.

The stall in front of the cart was not as big as the ones she saw at the port, but many people from nearby villages came here to buy goods.

Chang Pingning found the Guo family's cart and walked over to say hello to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and second brother.Today, in order to send Guo Bomo to the boat, all the three children at home were sleeping.While Father Guo was setting up a stall, the four members of the Guo family went out together.

But only Chang Pingning escorted Guo Bomo onto the boat.

Chang Pingning saw the Guo family's cart, and after greeting several members of the Guo family, he walked to Ye Xiuying and whispered to her about the seafood sales he had observed in the morning, and proposed to go to the town to sell seafood until the tide ebbs. Come to the port again when you meet the big guy.

"If you encounter big seafood, wouldn't it be more expensive to sell it in the town?" Guo Zhongzhou didn't understand.

Chang Pingning blinked and realized: "I was wrong. I have been thinking about how to gain a foothold in the port." After speaking, he patted his head.

"That's difficult." Guo Dayong shook his head after listening to Chang Pingning's words, "The big stalls over there have been set up by at least two generations."

"Some stalls rely on fishing boats out to sea, and half of the fish caught are sold to those stalls." Ye Xiuying answered and shook her head helplessly.

Chang Pingning couldn't help but feel downcast after listening to the words of the Guo family.When she followed Guo Xiuying twice in succession to sell seafood at high prices, she thought she could make more money selling seafood than farming in the Chang family.

“What’s the price of gold thread fish?”

Someone walked up to Guo’s cart stall and asked about the price.

"How much do you want?" Guo Dayong immediately greeted the guests in front of him attentively, "If you want more, I can sell it to you cheaper."

Seeing this, Ye Xiuying pulled Chang Pingning and Guo Zhongzhou to wave, and left the stall at home with two empty barrels.

"What's wrong? You don't think you're making money anymore?" Ye Xiuying asked.

Chang Pingning realized that her mother-in-law must have noticed her depressed state, and quickly waved her hand and explained: "Mom, no...it's not that I don't make money, I just found that there are too many people selling seafood." The more Chang Pingning talked, the less confident he became.

"What's the matter? They sell theirs and we sell ours." Ye Xiuying didn't care, "Even if the restaurant has a seafood stall that specializes in supplying seafood, it's not possible to supply it every day. Sometimes you can get it from the cracks of your fingers. Give us the leakage point. Same thing over at the port."

Chang Pingning nodded confusedly after listening to Ye Xiuying's words.She noticed that Ye Xiuying took her to the beach near Guojiacun, just in time for the low tide.

The beach is dotted with small holes.Chang Pingning happily went forward to dig out the sand with a wooden bucket and iron tongs, and found the conches, clams, razor clams and other seafood he had seen before.

I also saw something I had never seen before under the rocks in the shallow water. Chang Pingning picked up some of the big ones.When brought to Ye Xiuying, Ye Xiuying looked surprised.

"And we encountered oysters? Where are they?"

Chang Pingning pointed to the location of the reef: "Under that rock."

"Go quickly." Ye Xiuying said, and put the iron pliers in her hand into Chang Ping Ning's barrel.

Chang Pingning followed his mother-in-law to write down the appearance of sea rainbows and starfishes. The prices of these two were not as expensive as sea oysters.

Following the direction Chang Pingning pointed, Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying returned home with a full load.

On their way back to Guo's house, the two happened to see the man driving the car walking back. When they asked, no one was going to town today.Upon seeing this, Ye Xiuying pulled Chang Pingning onto the bullock cart.

After the two arrived in the town, Chang Pingning thought that Ye Xiuying would take him to the restaurant again, but he did not expect that Ye Xiuying would take him to the streets to hawk.

"Fresh seafood, picked up just after low tide."

Chang Pingning was just about to remind her mother-in-law that no one might buy it, so why not go to the restaurant first, when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

"Mom, what kind of seafood do you have?" A woman appeared at the door.

"There's everything, oysters, conchs, and clams. Madam, please take a look for yourself."

Chang Pingning heard her mother-in-law calling to the woman who was buying seafood, and she put down the wooden bucket in her hand to make it easier for the customers in front of her to choose.

"What's the price of oysters and clams?" The woman in front of her was very satisfied with the two barrels of seafood in front of her.

"Oysters cost thirteen cents each, and clams cost thirty cents each." Ye Xiuying answered.

The woman in front of him nodded and seemed to have no objection to the price.He picked some clams and two oysters from the barrel, counted out the money and handed it to Ye Xiuying.

Chang Pingning on the side secretly noted the price in his mind.

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hawked, the two barrels of seafood slowly turned into one barrel.

Some of them complained that their prices were a penny higher than those at the wet market, but Ye Xiuying explained that the two of them brought seafood to their doorsteps, which also saved their wives time in going to the wet market.

Some ladies sounded satisfied with this explanation and bought some seafood; some ladies said that they wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, but after hearing this, they did not buy anything.

Chang Pingning looked at the back of the woman who left in a hurry and asked her mother-in-law in a low voice: "How about bringing some vegetables to the town to sell in the future?"

"Then selling is too complicated." Ye Xiuying smiled and shook her head, tapping Chang Pingning's forehead, "Why is Ning Yatou so motivated to make money?"

Chang Pingning lowered his head in embarrassment: "I don't want my eldest brother to go out for boating all the time." In fact, he wanted to move to the town as soon as possible and take the Guo family and Chang family to avoid floods.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuying's expression changed as soon as she finished speaking.Chang Pingning regretted what he had just said wrongly and hurriedly changed the subject: "Mom, I think there is still half a barrel here. How about sending it to a restaurant?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiuying nodded.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in silence for a while. After a while, Chang Pingning heard her mother-in-law's voice: "Girl Ning is a good one."

It was approaching noon, and Cyclamen, as the largest restaurant in town, was already overcrowded.

Chang Pingning followed Ye Xiuying to the back door of the restaurant in a familiar way. The errand boy he saw last time brightened up when he saw them.

"Aunt Guo has brought us sea food again? Are there any sea urchins from last time?"

Chang Pingning looked at Ye Xiuying in confusion. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuying had the same confusion in her eyes. Why did the worthless sea urchin suddenly become so popular?

"Brother, there are no sea urchins in the goods this time, but there are some oysters. Why don't you take a look?" Ye Xiuying asked the restaurant errand boy to look at the goods in the bucket.

The restaurant's errand boy glanced at them and asked them to wait a moment. He quickly ran into the kitchen and out again, telling the two people in front of him that the restaurant had packed half of their barrels and asked them to bring some sea urchins next time. The price is good. discuss.
