Chapter 67: Joined forces to lower the price (please follow up on Tuesday)
When Li Duoyu finally reeled in the fishing rope.
I also accidentally caught a greedy pufferfish. After being lifted out of the water, the pufferfish was bulging with energy and made a gurgling sound like a large yellow croaker.
Li Duoyu untied the big fishhook from its mouth, pinched its belly, and then used its belly to file away the dead skin on its heels.
File it twice.
Li Duoyu felt that the effect was still not as good as the file, so he threw it back into the sea.
The puffed-up puffer fish immediately deflated after returning to the sea, turned into a tiny little one, and plunged into the sea water.
Not far away, Zhao Erniu, who was still collecting his fishing nets, stood there stupidly when he saw the big bass slipping.
“Two oxen, why don’t you accept them?”
Zhao Dahai looked at his brother's gaze, his face froze on the spot, and he felt a hundred regrets in his heart. He should have put the net there if he had known earlier.
In that case, that big bass slide might be his. It's so big that it can be sold for dozens of yuan at least. Watching them make money is really more uncomfortable than losing money yourself.
This time, Li Duoyu learned the painful lesson that his cousin couldn’t sell the large yellow croaker he caught, so he didn’t even bother with lunch and headed directly to Qingkou Pier with the bass slide.
The fishmongers on Dandan Island cannot afford to collect this kind of big fish, nor do they dare to collect it.
If you want to sell it, you should at least sell it to a county-level wharf or a city-level wharf. The fishmongers there are more knowledgeable and can sell the bass slides at a good price.
On the way to Qingkou Pier, Li Duoyu's sampan passed by the kelp field owned by Captain Wang Dapao.
I found that they drove piles quite quickly. In a few days, they built thirty or forty acres of kelp piles.
Chen Dongqing was also in the piling team. He didn't want to come at first, but the deputy director said that he had followed the previous kelp all the way, so he couldn't favor one over the other.
As a result, he has been forced to stay on Dandan Island every day recently, and what makes him most unhappy is that Wang Dapao comes after him every time.
Just give him two packs of cigarettes, say a few words that the team still has something to do, and then leave the overseer's affairs to him.
It made him want to curse.
In addition, his wife has been having troubles with him recently, which made Chen Dongqing very unhappy, and his addiction to smoking became even greater.
When Li Duoyu's sampan passed by this kelp field, he saw Li Duoyu's fishing boat dragging a large cargo at a glance.
Chen Dongqing, who was smoking, shouted:
“Duoyu, you dragged something.”
“A big fish.” Li Duoyu shouted.
Chen Dongqing then shouted:
“The dock is over here, where do you tow it?”
“I want to drag it to Qingkou and sell it.”
I heard that Li Duoyu is going to Qingkou Wharf. Chen Dongqing is still in charge of the supervisor. The owner himself has run away. I will give you a job as the supervisor.
Chen Dongqing waved his hand and said:
“You bring the boat over, and I’ll go to Qingkou Pier with you.”
Li Duoyu heard that his uncle was also going to Qingkou Pier, so he pulled the fishing boat over.
But when his sampan approached, the masters on the piling boat stopped what they were doing and gathered around when they saw the large cargo tied to the side of the boat.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“Damn it, such a big perch weighs over a hundred kilograms at least.”
“If you make a lot of money, you can sell this piece for a lot of money.”
Li Duoyu saw the piling masters, all of whom were acquaintances who helped him drive piles last time, so he took out the cigarettes he carried and handed them to them.
He doesn't smoke many cigarettes now, but he still carries one or two packs with him. After all, in this era, passing cigarettes is a very efficient way of communication.
Master Zhang Zetian took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Boss, are there any loose stakes in your kelp field?"
“It’s very strong, not a single stake has been pulled out.” Li Duoyu replied.
“That’s good. If any of the piles become loose these days, come directly to us and we will repair them for free.”
“No problem, I’ll definitely come to you if I feel really relieved.”
Li Duoyu, who knows Master Zhang well, is not too polite to him. If the kelp is raised well, he will probably have to cooperate with him again next year.
Chen Dongqing, who jumped on the sampan boat, looked at the large and small fish caught on the boat, and couldn't help but envy: "What kind of luck did you have today? I caught so many fish."
"What is **** luck? How about I go to Xijia Reef with the local dog to get my life in exchange?" After hearing the three words Xijia Reef, Chen Dongqing was silent for a while. He knew where that place was, so it was no wonder that he could get it. This big bass is slippery.
“Your boat is so small, don’t go to places like that in the future, you know?”
“But the ship is so big that it will be stranded if it gets there.”
“Li Duoyu, your uncle is caring about you, and you will be happy to fight, right?”
“Hahaha, it’s quite a bit.”
On the way to Qingkou Pier, the sampan boat first went to the fishing raft.
Li Duoyu took the smaller and more active red sea bream and sea bass.
Chen Dongqing frowned when he saw this scene. If he remembered correctly, someone at the Donghai Fisheries Research Institute was indeed conducting sea bream and seabass breeding experiments.
But Li Duoyu has never been there at all, and it has not been published in newspapers or foreign magazines.
Chen Dongqing shook his head, thinking that he was too worried, maybe it was just a coincidence.
The boat sailed for about half an hour.
Li Duoyu’s sampan finally arrived at Qingkou Pier. As more and more fishing boats went out to fish, the pier became more and more lively.
Compared with those trawlers, Li Duoyu's small sampan was just like a small shrimp, but the sharp-eyed fishmongers on the dock all noticed him.
To be precise, I should have noticed the big bass hanging next to the boat, its tail still swinging.
After a while, four fishmongers gathered in front of his sampan, but there was no case of the fishmongers competing for the fish.
On the contrary, the fishmongers discussed it with each other, and then called a fishmonger named "Lao Zhang" to come over and talk to him first.
After Lao Zhang jumped onto the boat, he looked around and said quite calmly: "Only the big fish on your boat is good, but the others are not good."
When he said this, Chen Wenchao became anxious on the spot:
"Do you understand? What's wrong? These are all bacon and yellow chickens, and some of them are still alive. They can be sold for 40 to 50 cents on our island, okay?"
Seeing that Chen Wenchao was getting anxious, Lao Zhang said calmly: "That's your island. Anyway, the market conditions at Qingkou Pier are like this today.
Three hairs of waxed fish,
Yellow chicken with two feathers,
This big bass is relatively rare and weighs only three cents per pound. "
Hearing the price, Chen Wenchao said angrily:
“At this price, you might as well grab it. A live fish like me is a good fish, but you charge the price of a dead fish in a trawl net.”
Lao Zhang coughed twice.
“Anyway, that’s the price today, no matter who you ask, it’s the same price.”
Chen Wenchao glanced at the fishmongers on the pier and immediately understood that they were working together to lower the prices.
Lao Zhang said to Chen Wenchao: "This is the price. Do you want to sell it? Otherwise, the price will probably be even lower at night."
Chen Wenchao waved his hand and said: "I'm just a wage earner, and it's not my fish. I can't make the decision."
After hearing this, the old man's face was extremely dark: "It's not your fish, why are you so excited!"
“Why am I so **** excited? I’m so angry at the price you quoted. Is there anyone who can lower the price like you do?”
Lao Zhang cursed and said: "It's really a mess."
Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene and gave the native dog a thumbs up.
After being messed with like this, these fishmongers became a little passive, and now the initiative has shifted to Li Duoyu's side.
And Li Duoyu also discovered that Lao Zhang looked as stable as an old dog on the surface, but in fact he was very panicked.
After learning that Chen Wenchao was not the boss, especially when he looked at the two of them, his expressions obviously changed.
Seeing this group of fishmongers unite to lower the price, Li Duoyu said to his brother-in-law:
"Brother Qing, the price here is not good. How about we spend more time and drag it to Rongcheng Wharf to sell it."
Chen Dongqing nodded and said:
“Okay, I just want to go to the city.”
