Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

   Angkor smiled and said: "You are being polite. When it is inconvenient for everyone to go out, it is right to lend a hand, not to mention borrowing a scale. You are too polite..."

   "It should be, you are helping others, and I can't take it for granted. Although the dried fish dried at home is not worth much, it still tastes delicious when you eat it. Take it home and try it."

   "Hehe, look at what you said, where is it worthless? I think you still sell it for 45 cents a catty. There are several catties here."

Ye Yaodong smiled, he was not so honest, he took all the dried toad fish, those dried toad fish were not small in size, and they were very big, each one weighed more than a catty, if he really got ten, then It's expensive.

It is also mixed with other cheaper fish, such as small eels that are not worth much. All of them are worth two yuan, which is how much it costs to buy a small scale.

   "Hold it, hold it, you're welcome, hey~ a guest is coming, you go first..."

   "Hey, good, good~"

  Dried fish was laughed at just like that.

  Holding people with short hands and passing them back and forth with a steelyard, Angkor was not unhappy, but was always cheerful.

  Until he sold out a hundred catties of shrimp skins first, he didn't take the scales away immediately, but waited there.

   This made Ye Yaodong a little embarrassed. He brought about 300 catties of goods this trip, including 5 sacks, and the remaining 2 sacks were not sold.

   "Well, I'll return the scale to you. I'm too embarrassed to take yours when you're sold out. I'll let you wait here. It's almost noon."

  There are not as many small vendors around as in the early morning. Many people have sold out their goods and closed their stalls. Some small carts or bicycles selling breakfast have also left, and some are packing their things and plan to close their stalls in advance.

   "How long are you going to sell?"

   "Maybe it will be sold until one o'clock in the afternoon. If it is not sold out by one o'clock in the afternoon, you can only take it home. The car back says it is half past two."

  When I came at night, I invited the tractors from the village, because the Mazu Temple was being built there, and the sand would be transported several times every three days. I sent them here early this morning, and it happened to transport a truck of sand back nearby.

  So, on the return trip, they had to go to the city to take a car back, and the tractor couldn't take them.

Yesterday they had already asked in advance. The bus from the city to their county seat runs at 9:00 am and 2:30 pm. When they arrive at the county seat, they have to transfer immediately. If there is no car, it may be time Can only walk home.

   Alas, he doesn't know whether his luck today is good or bad.

Well, he didn't meet a boss who could buy his dried fish at one go; let's say bad, he sold more than a hundred catties of the odds and ends for seven. Eighty yuan, and it's still less than ten o'clock in the morning, so it's pretty good.

  However, as the time went by, there were fewer and fewer people. At this moment, he felt that there were no people, and the comings and goings were scattered, not as crowded as in the early morning, and the sales were slower.

   It is estimated that by one o'clock in the afternoon, at most, half a bag can only be sold, and it may only be sold for a dozen catties.

  If you don’t have a scale, you can only wait a while and borrow it from someone around you.

   Angkor also looked at him with a embarrassed face, and he couldn't waste time here just to wait for him.

  Ye Yaodong put the scale directly into his basket, "Thank you, you are sold out, then you can go back first."

   "Alright then, remember to bring a steelyard tomorrow."

"Um."

   I don’t know if I’m free to come over tomorrow. It’s actually okay to sell such scattered items. If you sell one or two hundred catties a day, you can sell out the stock in a few days.

   It's a pity, if he can meet someone who takes all the goods away at once, he doesn't have to worry about it, but this is too much for granted.

  After returning the scale, the father and son continued to sit on the ground, with sacks under their buttocks, planning to wait and see, there was still time, and they could sell a few catties for a few catties, so they could earn more travel expenses.

  It wasn't until early 12 o'clock in the afternoon, after they sold another 20 catties, the person who borrowed the scale for the second time also called it a day and went back. Ye Yaodong growled hungry, looked at his watch, and couldn't wait any longer.

"Father, let's call it a day and go back. Don't wait. There are fewer and fewer people. If you wait any longer, you won't be able to sell a few catties, and there is no scale. Go to the station early and wait for the bus. I don't know how long it will take. If you can't catch up The shuttle back will be troublesome.”

   "Okay, then pick the remaining two bags back."

Father Ye stretched his neck again, looked at the large buildings that had already been built on the open space in the distance, and said regretfully: "The construction of this market is too slow, if this shop is in our hands, we don't need to put it here. stall, and the goods don’t have to be so troublesome to be transported back and forth.”

   "It's almost there, it should be almost finished."

   "Let's go, let's go, the stalls around are almost gone, I don't know how long it will take to take the bus later, and I don't know if the bus will be ready, so don't leave early."

  At first, he was reluctant to leave early, but Father Ye himself became anxious while talking, and quickly folded the sack that was sitting on the floor, and stuffed it into the half-sold bag of dried fish.

  Ye Yaodong also folded the other two short-sold bags and stuffed them in, then tied them with hemp rope a few times, tied the opening tightly, and tied another small hole so that the pole could be passed through and picked up.

   "Fortunately, there are only two bags left, and I just picked them up. I also sold three bags, and it weighs almost 200 catties. I didn't lose money if I came here today."

  As soon as he passed the pole through, his father walked to the middle and picked it up.

   "Then you pick first, pick halfway, or pick for me if you can't pick."

   "Come on, you can pick two bags of millet and put them in the ditch."

  Ye Yaodong was suddenly speechless, how long ago did it happen? All the old sesame seeds and rotten millet are still mentioned.

   "How long has it been, let me tell you."

   "Not long ago, just before the production team was disbanded a few years ago."

   "Then you pick, you pick~"

  Depressed!

  Father Ye is holding the opening of the sack with one hand, carrying more than 100 kilograms of goods, and he seems to be able to walk with ease, walking without slowness, and can chat with him while walking.

"Next, if the weather is good, we can continue to sunbathe a little more. When the wind blows and you can't go to sea, you can come over and set up a stall to sell slowly. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than buying it cheaply at the pier. In the morning When I came over, I also saw several large carts of toad fish, and they said they were wholesale for five cents a catty..."

Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's words, "It's not worth it. We only need a thousand catties for a trip. It's not worth sending it over. The difference is one cent and five, and the total difference is only a dozen yuan. There is also a stall fee and round-trip travel expenses." I didn’t make much money, so I can’t still compete with Ah Cai for a job and just accept the goods, right?”

   "That's true, it's more cost-effective to keep it at home to dry."

"In fact, we can also collect all the sun-dried ones from the villagers, and then mobilize the villagers to do more together. Let's collect it cheaper and make a little difference in the middle. They can also earn a little more than selling fresh ones. Anyway, we sell it too. By the way, the sales are relatively slow, and we don’t have time to go to the market every day to set up a stall, otherwise it’s quite feasible.”

   It would be great if I could meet a wholesaler, he could boldly collect all the dried fish in the village and resell them, which is a pity.

  Drying the fish these few days, he had a very good imagination, but...

   "That is to say, although we can sell for a lot of money in a day, we still have to go fishing when the weather is good. We don't have so much free time to come here every day to set up a stall, and we can only come here occasionally to sell our own."

   "Well, the store hasn't arrived yet, and we collect too much dried fish at once, and we don't have a place to store it. If it rains, the old house will leak into a sieve."

  Sorry~

  I had the idea of ​​making a fortune, but I was a bit out of luck and didn't have time to keep up.

As long as the shop pays faster, he may be bold enough to let the villagers dry more when the weather is good, collect their dried fish and store them in the shop. When it rains and winds up, he can come over when he is free. Sell ​​it.

  If you want someone...he can't trust strangers, so don't empty out his goods, after all, he doesn't have time to come to the city every day, and his relatives and friends don't seem to think there is a suitable one.

  Headache, doing business seems to be quite difficult, it is better to go fishing to save trouble, if it can be rented out, renting out the shop is the most trouble-free.

  Father and son chatted while walking. Father Ye also felt very regretful after hearing his proposal.

  Go to the village to collect more dried fish, and you can make money by setting up a stall!

   Now he can only watch the opportunity to make money slip away, which makes him very uncomfortable.

  Why not Ye Yaodong?

   "First let's sell it in the sun at home. The ones we dry at home are enough for us to sell for a few days. In case of rainy days, we can only sell all the fresh goods to A Cai. They can't be dried or sold."

   "Then wait for our family's goods to sell almost. If the weather is not out yet, we can collect more from the village and send them over for sale?"

   "Let's take a look first. Who can say that it depends on the sky to eat? However, in the past few days, every household in the village has dried a lot of dried fish. If the time comes, you can consider taking a look."

"After the store is in hand, if we have good weather, we will dry it more, and ask your elder brother and second brother to dry it more. When the time comes, you will collect it, and the villagers will also collect it. You can also put it in the shop. Buy more money."

   "Thinking is very good ~ but you forgot? The elder brother and the second elder brother also have their own shop, how can it be my turn to accept them?"

  Father Ye shook his head, "The two of them are too honest, they don't have your brains, they like to mess around, and they will follow your **** at most to sell their own things."

  Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, his father was praising him, right?

   "Don't think too much, it's better to sell all the goods at home first, and there are so many left today to go back."

   "When I come over tomorrow, I will pull less, and if I save, I will pick it back."

   "It's better to pull one less bag. Who knows how much goods can be sold every day? It's hard to say how much you sell and how little you sell."

"Too…"
