Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 41 Weighing

  Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, it was all in front of his eyes, his mother actually asked seven questions again, he didn't believe him!

   "Mom, you've seen it all, so why ask, it's obvious."

   "When did you go to sea? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Whose boat is it?"

   "Didn't you tell me at noon that I would go out and ask Ah Qing to cook noodles for me early? After eating, I left. The boat is rented."

   "It's only been a few hours, you just go online..."

"Oh, I'll talk about it later. I'm not free now. There are still fish on the boat. I'll tell you after the weighing is done." He frowned and interrupted his mother's question. Now is not the time to go into details. It is business to move all the fish down.

  The good villagers all stared wide-eyed, "Is there any more? It hasn't been moved yet."

   "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk~ Lao Ye's family is getting rich again, why is your family so prosperous recently? Have you paid homage to Mazu?"

  Mother Ye smiled and said to the spectators: "For sure, it's the first time I went to sea two days ago, so I must pay homage to Mazu, and let her keep our family smooth sailing."

   "It's really luck. I can't stop it. Even Adong can catch so many mackerel when he goes out to sea. It's really promising."

   "Oh, Ah Dong and the others don't look very decent when they are usually idle, but I didn't expect to be so good at it when they are serious, and they can even hit schools of mackerel fish. This basket looks like a lot of young and old."

   "Yeah, I should have a few thousand catties, right? These strips are so big..."

   Under everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Ye Yaodong and the others finally moved all the mackerel off the boat, and everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and the clothes on their backs were wet with sweat.

  Ye Yaodong handed the bucket in his hand to his mother, "This is what I left behind, two mackerel fish, and some seafood, you can use the mackerel fish to make fish **** at night."

   "Why do you keep them, these two can be sold for several dollars, just eat the miscellaneous fish..."

  The old man has had enough hard times, and he is not willing to eat valuable things.

   "Oh, I have worked so hard to catch so much, I have to reward myself, and there are so many, and these two are not bad, you can take it back and make fish balls, I want to eat it!"

   "Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat, and you will be thinking about it before you earn money. This one must not cost a dollar..."

  Lin Xiuqing grabbed the mother Ye who was nagging, "Mother, these two are not bad. Dongzi's other friends may have kept them too, so let's take them back to make fish balls. The children haven't eaten them for a long time."

   Now Mother Ye stopped talking, everyone stayed, she can't return it, right?

  Ah Cai looked at them with a smile, "Have you finished moving? Can you weigh them?"

"Let's talk about the price first. If it's too low, I won't sell it to you. Let's call a tractor to take it to Yujing Wharf!" Ye Yaodong is not stupid. With so many fish, he doesn't have to do anything, and he can make a lot of money by changing hands. Pen!

"Twenty cents is not low. The most I can make you a dime is because your father's big yellow croaker a few days ago made me know a few more fishmongers. Otherwise, I would not be able to eat so many mackerel. Really? No matter how much profit you make, others will also make money, so you have to leave some room for others to make money."

   What you said makes sense.

   Once in and out, with several hands in between, there must be room for others to make money. If there is no money to make, who will do it?

   Ah Zheng put his arms around Ah Cai's shoulder with a playful smile, "Brother Cai has a wide network of people, making money is much easier than us people, everyone is hard-earned money, you can add a few cents to us."

   "Are you still working hard? I heard that you came back within a few hours after going out. No one is as relaxed as you, okay?"

  Xiaoxiao listened impatiently to their arguments, "Oh, you don't care how many hours we go, you just say whether to add money or not?"

  Ye Mu also interjected, "Yes, yes, you can add a little more. With so many mackerel fish, you can earn only 1 point per catty, and you can probably earn dozens or hundreds of dollars."

  A Cai hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, "I will give you one more point at most, and this is what I saved from my own profit for you."

   Ah Guang also frowned and said, "Is it too picky? Just add one point?"

   "It's really a lot!"

   "Two cents, right?"

"Normally, you don't bargain. I also see that you have a lot of goods, so I'll give you a penny. If you get it at Yujing Wharf, you won't be able to give you a quarter. What's more, you have to pay for shipping. Don't you Sell ​​it to me, I don’t want to lend you the basket, how do you think you’re going to pack those fish?”

   "Forget it, let's keep it for two cents, so we don't have to worry about it."

  Wharf does not usually bargain, and the attitude has always been whether you like to sell or not? Love to buy or not? Ye Yaodong didn't want to make it so troublesome, this mackerel was not a valuable fish, and the profit margin in the middle was really not big, even at this time, 20 cents was not a lot.

   "Okay, if Dongzi says it's ok, then it's ok, hurry up and weigh it."

   "Okay, then take some paper and take notes."

  Under the excited guidance of the audience, they weighed all the mackerel.

   "How many catties?"

   "Where is the abacus? There are so many numbers, there is no way to calculate it. Brother Cai, use the abacus to calculate."

  None of them know how to plan...

   Calculator Ye Yaodong can press it, but there is no calculator at this time, it is all abacus.

  Everyone watched patiently as Ah Cai fiddled with the abacus.

   "Okay, a total of 7628 catties, 2 cents a catty, a total of 1601 yuan 8 cents 8 cents."

  The surrounding villagers were all excited, "Wow~1600, it's sold much more than the big yellow croaker in the net a few days ago."

   "I can't compare, I can't compare, how much is the yellow croaker, how much is this mackerel? The yellow croaker is worth more, and the yellow croaker will be really amazing."

   "Who doesn't know that yellow croakers are valuable? But you have to be lucky, and it's amazing to catch so many mackerel."

   "With so much money, one person can share 400, which is two months behind others' trawl."

   "It's worth four months of working as a worker!"

   "Why is the Ye family so lucky recently?"

   "I will also go to worship Mazu tomorrow..."

  ...

  Different from the reaction of the onlookers, Ye Yaodong was taken aback by him, why is it only 1600? He thought it could sell for several thousand!

   I don’t know if he hasn’t recovered from the prices in his previous life. He thinks 1600 is so little…

   "Are you right?"

  A Cai rolled his eyes, "I suspect that I made a mistake, so come here."

"I won't…"

"Let me do it!"

  At this time, Lin Xiuqing stepped forward. She had finished primary school, could read and learned abacus, but she was not so proficient at typing.

  She fiddled with the abacus slowly, even if she was afraid of making a mistake, Ye Yaodong didn't dare to disturb her, he did the calculation in his heart, and felt that he was right.

  The daily salary of the workers is only more than one yuan, and one thousand sixteen is worth their salary for almost three years, which seems to be a lot.
