Chapter 54

sunset.

Zhao Dahai went out of the yard, went to the dustpan, picked up a few mussels, which were dark yellow and translucent, and the oil was faintly visible. He pinched them a little hard, and they didn't move. The moisture was just right.It is ready to sell.

After Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, he rested for a while. By moonlight, he took the dustpan and the mussels that were drying on the straw mat back home. When the sun went down, he had been in the sun for a whole day, with heat, and took them back into bags. , once covered with water vapor, affecting the quality, now it is just right, the sea breeze blowing down for two hours, the heat is almost dissipated, all put away, put into a big bamboo basket and weighed on the platform, a total of 98 catties two.

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised, the dry goods weighed more than 98 catties, and it seemed that he worked hard, and the fresh mussels he brought back were over a thousand catties.

"The sea!"

“These mussels are really good!”

"If the price is low, don't sell it!"

Zhong Cuihua was weaving a fishing net, looked up at the mussels that Zhao Dahai was weighing, and shouted.

"grandmother!"

"do not worry!"

"At least five or sixty yuan a catty, or I won't sell it!"

"Bring it back to our family to eat!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded.This time when the tide was low, I used the light of my motorcycle to bring back more than a thousand catties of fresh mussels. They were all big and fat. Only 400 catties of dried mussels can be produced, and the price of fresh mussels plus labor is less than 60 yuan per catty, so I really don’t want to sell them.

Zhao Dahai took a few plastic bags, filled them with mussels, and left the openings to vent the heat. Tomorrow morning, he tied the ropes, put them in a fiber bag and tied them to the back seat of a motorcycle, and went out to the town to sell them.

Two in the morning.

In front of a small two-story building on the east side of the town, a tricycle stopped.

Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang opened the door.

"Xiaoxiang!"

Zhang Li recalled that when she was buying mussels in Langtou Village, she wanted to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about Zhao Dahai. These two days, she has been busy peeling and drying the recovered mussels. She left early and returned late. Today is a busy day. It's almost the same, let's talk about this matter.

"what?"

"mom!"

"worn out!"

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed! I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."

Ding Xiaoxiang yawned, turned around and walked into her room.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth to call Ding Xiaoxiang to stop, swallowed the words, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down, her brows furrowed, her daughter must have known what she was going to say just now, deliberately Tired of talking.

You don't really like that kid Zhao Dahai, do you?

Zhang Li frowned, and patted her forehead vigorously, it would be a big trouble.

Zhao Dahai rode a motorcycle and arrived in the town after seven o'clock.

The town is surrounded by fishing villages, and many fishing boats go out to sea every day. They catch a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs, and most of them are sold fresh. The most important thing about seafood is freshness, and the price is the highest, but if there is fresh goods, there are dry goods. A place that concentrates on buying and selling pickled and dried fish, shrimp and crab.This is Dry Goods Street, which is next door to the fish market.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the fish market not far from Ganhuo Street. Ding Xiaoxiang’s fish stall must be open for business. He wanted to go and have a look, but he gave up immediately. Everyone knows Sima Zhaozhi's heart, Ding Xiaoxiang is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, haste makes waste, the most important thing now is to make money and repair fishing boats to earn more money, forging iron requires hard work, love, drinking water and so on It's nonsense, don't say anything about being poor and loving the rich, which parents would like their daughter to marry and suffer, not to mention that as a man, the family can't support a wife and children. .

Zhao Dahai is riding a motorcycle, slowly driving in the dry goods street, selling it at a suitable price, not selling it if it is not suitable, or it is not too late to go to Liu Gang's place, but Liu Gang's restaurant is in the business of fresh seafood, I don't know if it will accept it or not Dry goods, anyway, first inquire about the market.

Zhao Dahai walked around, feeling a little depressed, and asked several companies, but the purchase prices were not very good, ranging from twenty to less than thirty, which was not far from what he wanted.

Zhao Dahai thought about it, and decided to ask for the price. His mussels were good, so the price might be higher, so he made up his mind. The motorcycle stopped in front of a shop with "Chengjia Seafood Shop" on it. I went to the largest dry goods store on the street, opened the bag, grabbed four or five mussels and walked in.

"boss!"

"Dried mussels?"

Zhao Dahai got straight to the point.There are shelves all over the wall in the store, all kinds of salted fish, salted shrimp, squid, etc. There are a few pairs of isinglass and a few two-headed abalones in the most conspicuous place. This is true. nice one.

"Ha ha!"

"receive!"

"How could it not be accepted?"

"My store is selling them all!"

Cheng Wenfeng smiled and pointed to a large glass jar with dried mussels on the left shelf.

"Look at the goods."

Zhao Dahai handed the mussels to Cheng Wenfeng.

Cheng Wenfeng took a look with his hand, squeezed it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately concluded that it was definitely a first-class product.

"Not bad!"

“The mussels are really good!”

"35 yuan a catty."

Cheng Wenfeng made an offer immediately.

Zhao Dahai was mentally prepared, but he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the price offered by Cheng Wenfeng.

"Ha ha!"

"This price is quite a lot! I have to buy it, I have to overstock, I have to consider the loss, and I have to take it out for drying from time to time. These are all costs."

"Accidentally lose money."

"No one in the whole street will charge a higher price than me."

Cheng Wenfeng sighed while saying one sentence after another.

Zhao Dahai didn’t believe this at all. It’s true that the loss of labor due to overstocking is real, but it’s really nonsense to say that you accidentally lose money. If you really accidentally lose money, how can the store open so big? The distribution is deeper and more mixed.

Zhao Dahai bargained for nearly 10 minutes, Cheng Wenfeng killed 35 yuan a catty with one bite, and never let go. He had no choice but to leave.

“These dried mussels are really good stuff!”

Cheng Wenfeng watched Zhao Dahai push the motorcycle away and did not let go.Generally speaking, fresh products that cannot be sold or are not fresh are used to marinate dry products. The quality must not be too high. If you want to have good quality, you must use fresh fresh products.A few days ago when the tide was low, everyone in the fishing village went to dig mussels. The ones Zhao Dahai took out must have been dug and sun-dried. They are big, fat enough and rich in oil. It can be sold for 120 yuan a catty.

Low price or not?If you have the ability, take it home and eat it yourself!Is this possible?Things that are dozens of yuan a catty are finally made, just thinking about selling them to make money, and no one is willing to eat them.It must be sold.Now that I’m gone, I don’t give up and go to other stores to ask the price. It’s impossible for someone to offer a higher price than myself.

Cheng Wenfeng just glanced at the bag on the back seat of the motorcycle, about a hundred catties, and was delighted at the thought of making a lot of money. He made a pot of tea and waited for Zhao Dahai to come back to find him.
