Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 72 Daily income of nearly 100 yuan

  A Cai conveniently put the cigarette behind his ear, he has no time to smoke now, "Oh, don't worry, we are old friends, I can't lose you."

"Brother, let's settle the score. You can tell me the number first, so I can consider whether to sell it or not? If it's not worth it, I'll send it to Hongsheng to ask. It's not easy to go out during the typhoon, or I'll send that bass by myself that day." Hongsheng may sell at a higher price..."

   The corner of Ah Cai’s mouth twitched. The guy raised the price of that fish, but he didn’t earn 2 yuan. It’s a scam... Now I feel embarrassed to say it.

"Brother, we are all from the same village, from the folks in the village. I collect all your father's goods. Can I not give you a fair price? Don't worry, this erythema will cost 6 yuan and 50 cents a piece." How about it?"

"Isn't your price the same as perch slip? That fish is less than two catties and costs 12 yuan a mouthful. Why is this red spot more valuable than perch slip? Don't think that we country people don't know the goods if we go to the city less often, 8 One catty, if you can, just weigh it!"

   Ah Cai's heart hurts, and the flesh on his face trembles. Why is this kid getting more and more difficult to talk? Stepping on his bottom line every time.

"It's really not that big of a profit, buddy. If you look at these seafood, you can find out if you go to the town and ask. I only earn one or two cents a catty. I can't even earn a penny for dragon head fish. It's only three to five cents." centi..."

Ye Yaodong patted his big belly unceremoniously, "Look at your big belly, you must have made a lot of money. Even if you make a profit of one or two cents, it can't hold up to a large amount. What's more, can the dragon head fish compare with this fish? You are so embarrassed Take a point or two to talk about it?"

  The onlookers next to the scene also roared with laughter, "That's right, look at your stomach, it's obviously full of oil and water!"

   "That's right, you should eat less and give up some. Rich people only look at the goods, and they are not short of money. You just sell them at a higher price."

  Father Ye tried his best to fight for it, "We have no problem with other products, so you can add some of this fish."

Uncle Lin also helped to speak: "We are all as skinny as a bamboo pole. Ah Cai, you have the nerve to lower the price. Hurry up, it's not easy to catch a red spot. I've been fishing for decades and I haven't caught a red spot. Look at this one." It should weigh almost 3 catties, so it must be easy to sell."

   "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, the quality of this bright color is really not what we can get in the sea." Agui who received the goods next door also ran over to join in the fun, "Ah Cai, do you want it? I will take it if you don't want it."

"Go, go, what's the matter with you, forget it, 8 yuan is 8 yuan," Ah Cai frowned, with a bitter face, "I really didn't make you money, brother, the money you brought recently I only earn you a few cents for a few fish..."

"Don't be silly, we are all risking our lives to make money by drifting on the sea, you just wait here to receive the goods and you will have a big belly. If you are ashamed to say, you can earn me a few cents. It's not a bad thing. Say it quickly. .”

   Ah Cai shut up, earn less and earn less, just pretend to be acquainted with the bosses, and go directly to the scale.

   "2 catties 8!"

  He made a note on the list, "Great Red Spot 2 catties 8, 22 yuan and 4 cents, and the stingray also helped me carry it to the scale."

  Everyone saw the baskets of ray fish, and everyone focused their attention on the ray fish, and they were all talking about it...

   "This ray usually lives on the bottom of the sea and it's not easy to catch. Ye Laosan is really lucky..."

   "I heard that if you hit three nets, you are all rays."

   "How did you catch it, Ye Laosan? I think you will catch more fish than others when you go out to sea. Do you have any skills? Teach us!"

  Father Ye smiled and looked at the onlookers watching the lively folks, "I don't have any skills. I left the job of hauling the nets to Dongzi today. He towed several nets. Maybe he is a newcomer."

   "Is that so?"

   "Is it true or not?"

  Everyone is wondering, should we try it too? But after thinking about it, there are no newcomers in the family except for women and children. I can't ask women and children to sail, and I can only give up after thinking about it.

  I can only envy and jealously watch others get rich.

"Rayfish, 386 catties, this one catty is 10 cents and 8 cents, the total... Let me do the math, the total is 69 yuan and 48 cents. Forget it, remember 69 yuan and 5 cents." Afraid that Ye Yaodong would be long-winded again, he took the initiative to round up up.

  In fact, Ye Yaodong wanted him to round up to 70, but he restrained himself. 50 cents is not a lot now, so it can't be counted as a fraction.

   "The three baskets of Balang fish were also brought over and weighed..."

   "This is three cents a catty?" Ye Yaodong asked uncertainly.

"right!"

   "Don't sell this Balang fish, father?"

  It's so cheap, only three yuan for a hundred catties, it's really better to keep it at home to dry.

  Ye Mu also smiled and said: "Today's harvest is a lot, this balang fish is not worth much, and we all like to eat it, why don't we just keep it and don't sell it, half of it is sun-dried, and half of it is salted."

   "Okay, take it back later." Father Ye nodded. Today's income is quite good, and it's not bad for the three or four yuan of Balangyu.

  The seaside people cannot have fish on their dinner table. If there is no bowl of fish on the table, it means that there is nothing to match today.

   After weighing all the shrimp and crabs, the total price is 96 yuan and 5 cents. Everyone is really jealous now. If they sell the Balang fish, they will earn more than 100 per day, which is too greedy.

   After they finished weighing, it was Lin Jingye's turn. He smiled and shook his head, "Compared to you, mine is nothing but three melons and two dates."

   "It's not bad, it looks like yours should be worth about 30 yuan."

   "If I didn't see your goods, I would still be very happy. After the typhoon, there are indeed more seafood than before."

  Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, Uncle Lin, you can still haul so much goods. Are you more than enough than the last?"

   "Indeed, you seem to have grown a lot, help me carry this basket of crabs..."

"okay!"

They chatted a little while helping each other, and after they borrowed the cart, they put the remaining balang fish and miscellaneous fish into the cart. Come be a drunk crab.

Because when Mother Ye cooked afternoon snacks for the workers, she deliberately left two extra bowls of gnocchi, and it didn’t take long, and it was just hot. As soon as they came back and took a bath, they ate the gnocchi directly, and went to Catch up on sleep.

   It wasn't until dinner that I was woken up.

  Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing who was sitting by the bed and folding clothes with a confused expression, then moved over and hugged her waist, and rubbed her back with his head.

   "What time is it? Finished work?"

  Lin Xiuqing moved her body uncomfortably, "Well, it's 6 o'clock, and I smell of sweat all over my body, don't stick to me, you get up and eat first, I need to take a shower first."

   "I just woke up, and it hasn't been long since I finished eating snacks. I will eat later. You wash yours. I just don't want to look at you."

   "Then you go out and look at a few children, they have just taken a bath, don't let them get all over again."

  Anyway, just don’t let him stay in the house and watch.

"Fine."

   It’s not that I haven’t seen it!
