Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 457 He Has an Idea

Listening to the noise in front of them, the two waited patiently by the side, occasionally going to chat with familiar people.

"Dongzi, what's the matter?"

Ah Guang was impatient waiting behind the line, so he greeted the people in front of and behind the line and asked them to help watch, and he ran up to check the situation.

"Some people didn't pick out the shells cleanly, there were a lot of empty shells, and some small ones were mixed into the big ones to sell, and they were caught. I heard that the batch sent away earlier would be discounted, and the price of the later ones would be lowered now. We all discuss it there."

"Ah, I said why the team hasn't moved a bit for a long time, and their purchase points are too serious, right? Mix a little, just mix a little, isn't it normal?"

"Did you mix it too? Just picked it out, and one of them mixed [-]%."

"Damn it! Is it true or not? Isn't this horse-riding heart too cruel? I also mixed a little, thinking about so many goods, how can I pick them so carefully, but no one else is so cruel."

I heard people saying in my ears, who didn't mix it, isn't it normal to mix it a little?Open one eye and close one eye, it will pass, what...

Ye Yaodong suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and these people would not be wronged if the price was lowered, but he would have to lose a lot!

When it was delivered in the morning, I saw that they picked it so carefully, the big ones were big, and the small ones were small.After returning, he and his father sorted things out in the same way.

Fuck it, if the price is lowered indiscriminately, he will cry.

Now he can't continue the chat, so he hastened to listen to it, what are you going to do to receive the goods?If he dares to pay the same price as other people's parallel imports for the real goods he picked, let's see if he doesn't beat people up.

Father Ye chatted with other acquaintances, only to realize that everyone more or less mixed it in, and there were not a few small ones thrown into the big pile. It seems that his family picked too carefully!
This is not possible, if the price is lowered, they will have to go back and mix it before they can sell it.

There were quite a few people running up from behind to see the situation at this time, and the father and son squeezed a little before they squeezed to the front under the cursing of the people around them.

I only heard the person at the purchase point say: the price of the big scallops in the morning is 3 cents and 7 cents, and the small ones are 3 cents. The batch sent away in the afternoon was originally priced at this price, but there were too many empty shells inside, and they said they had to lower the price 4 points. "

"Huh? Isn't that too much?"

"Yes, four cents is too much, isn't it?"

"Everyone has worked so hard to choose, and if you say you want to lower the price, you will lower the price..."

The folks are a little unwilling to lower the price, and they are clamoring in groups.

Ah Cai rolled his eyes, "A lot? Just randomly pick out 4-[-]% empty shells inside, and it's more than [-] cents a catty. Someone just mixed [-]% of it, didn't you see it?"

"One rat droppings ruined a pot of porridge. You must not be wronged. Some of them have been mixed. And 3 cents 3, and 2 cents 6 are the price of the batch at noon. The quantity of goods received at night is larger, and the price will go up. It’s down by 3 cents.” Agui, another consignee, said.

"What? Still falling? Isn't this too black-hearted?"

"That's right, you guys are too ugly to eat..."

"It's already dropped by 4 cents, and it's going to drop another 3 cents. Isn't this a drop of 7 cents? Isn't that too much? You are too black-hearted..."

Ah Cai wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief angrily, "Who's to blame? It's not that you mixed too much. Also, the big one is 3 cents, the small one is 2 cents and 3 cents. This is directly scaled without waiting to pick and choose." .”

These words barely reassured everyone, the price was directly weighed, not picked, and they were afraid that if it was adulterated, they would have to lower the price even more.

"If anyone is really not involved, you can stand up alone and we will ask someone to pick it. If you pick it, it will still be 3 cents for the big one and 3 cents for the small one."

The person next to him added: "If there is a large quantity, the price will drop. This is also the result of our discussion. You don't need to pick and choose, and you can directly weigh it. It is also good for you, saving you from waiting in line for too long."

"It's even less cost-effective to pick and choose one by one until tomorrow morning, and then the price will drop tomorrow."

"Folks, think about it for yourself. Also, this price is the current queue price. If someone comes later, it will not be this price. Who knows if someone will shamelessly go back and add more empty shells to it? We wait I will ask someone to go to the back of the line to guard."

"By the way, if the small one mixes too much into the big one, then the price will be compromised. No one is a fool, right?"

Now the person who was at the front and was about to put his hand into the sack also stopped?A compromise is not worthwhile. Originally, less scallops are caught, and the larger ones are more than the small ones.

Ye Yaodong and his son didn't know what to do after hearing the latest round of harvest indicators at the receiving point.

The folks, too, are all tangled there.

You can directly weigh it for less than three cents, and you don’t need to pick it, but if you pick it, you can sell it for an extra three cents per catty.

Everyone calculated an account in their hearts. If it is more than [-]%, it must be a good deal to pay directly, and it won't take too long.

If there is not [-]% of the empty shells, you still have to pick and choose.

(I was confused in this part of the calculation. I calculated it repeatedly for an hour. I don’t know if it’s right. I’m not good at math. Let’s just wait and see, or don’t use your brain.)
But I'm afraid that the selection is too slow. What if there are too many people queuing up to pick, and the price will drop if it is late?
It's not up to them how much to charge, and everyone doesn't have so much free time to sell these goods scattered, who knows when they will be sold.

Everyone was silently calculating in their hearts, Ye Yaodong and Father Ye were also thinking about it.

"Father, it's okay if you don't beat him to death with a stick. There are direct weighing prices, and you can pick and choose the price. Compared with the morning, because there are more goods in the evening, it is normal for the goods received to drop by four cents. Let's The size is well chosen, so I’m not afraid to choose it again.”

Father Ye also figured it out, "Well, it's a bit complicated, but after thinking about it, it's equivalent to a drop of four cents. Those adulterers directly said that even if it's three cents cheaper, they won't lose. There are more than [-]% of the empty shells, and there must be a lot of small ones mixed into the big ones."

"Then let's go back first. The line is getting too long. Anyway, we won't be able to line up for a while. Let's go back and have dinner first."

The two went home again, and told others about the current situation of receiving goods outside the dock.

Sister Ye and Second Sister Ye frowned, "This is seven cents off the price? Isn't that too much? We didn't add much."

"Now that so many people are queuing up to watch, we can't send him a bag of shells to mix, and it's too slow to pick."

After Ye Yaodong talked about the situation, he left them alone and let them discuss for themselves.

The first time he got home, he sat on the armchair by the door and began to take off his rain boots. He had been bored for a whole day...

Looking at the children squatting in a circle and playing there, he smirked and threw his rain boots towards them...

"Ouch~It smells~"

"My mother~what does it smell like~how come it smells worse than shrimp seedlings?"

"Whose feet..."

"Ouch~ Ye Chenghu, it's your father's foot..."

At this time, he is no longer called Uncle San.

A group of children habitually gather around their yard to play, and they don’t know where to catch a bunch of tadpoles to study how to turn them into frogs.

Suddenly, a strong smell of stinky feet swept over the tip of their noses, disturbing their Dao heart, causing them to change their complexions and break away from the group, one by one holding their noses and retreating.

"Is it stinky?" Ye Yaodong raised his foot to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, but he couldn't smell the smell of his own feet anymore, "It doesn't stink, come and smell it."

"Ah! yue~ I don't want to~ it stinks~"

"Third Uncle, you are so disgusting, you still don't wash your feet."

"Father, are yours Hong Kong feet? It stinks, worse than shrimp."

"Shrimp seedlings smell bad and taste delicious."

"yue~"

Ye Yaodong deliberately threw the other rain boot at them, and all of them scattered like birds and beasts.

"Ah! There are hidden weapons, run away!"

"Use your Shaolin Kung Fu quickly!"

"coming!"

I don't know where the jokes come from.

After Ye Chenghai responded, he squeezed his nose tightly with one hand, raised his little finger with the other hand, picked up the shoe and threw it towards Ye Yaodong, then clenched his fists with both hands and kicked his legs in the air a few times.

"watch out!"

Ye Yaodong dodged their "hidden weapons" and looked at them like an idiot, "Idiot! Get me a pair of slippers quickly."

"Little Uncle, do you still have Shaolin Temple in the movie theater?"

"Probably." According to the degree of popularity of this movie, there should be a film schedule.

"We pay for the movie tickets ourselves, so you can take us to see it! My cousin just told us it's very good."

"Wait until I'm free."

Ye Chenghai quickly answered, he also wanted to see Shaolin, "Isn't it because I just finished picking shells, the typhoon just passed, and I can't go to sea, so I just have time."

"You've done a good job, so you still ask me?" Ye Yaodong cocked his feet and moved his thumbs, and shouted into the room, "Ah Qing... Forget it, I'll go in and get the shoes by myself."

I can't count on these children, and my daughter-in-law is cooking again, so I can only rely on myself.

A group of children did not get an affirmative answer, and they chased after each other, "Father/third uncle/little uncle...can you..."

Ye Yaodong turned around suddenly, raised his legs forward, and bluffed a bit, causing them all to back away in fright.

"Go and bring me a basin of water to wash my feet."

"Then can you take us there?"

"Don't bargain, I'm comfortable serving you, so I'll think about it."

This time, everyone was more motivated than anything else, and they rushed to fetch water, and some of them rolled up their sleeves to wash his feet.

"Hey~ This is the meaning of having a baby! Wash for a while and rub the back of your feet."

"Hiss~ who plucked my leg hair~"

Ye Yaodong felt a pain in his foot, he quickly lifted it up, stretched out his hand to touch it twice, only to see Ye Chengyang looking at him innocently with two hairs in his hand.

"Father, you have Mao Mao!"

"You son of a bitch, everyone has fluff on their bodies."

Ye Chengyang stretched out his little feet seriously, "No hair!"

Ye Yaodong looked at him speechlessly, "You will have it when you grow up, it's a symbol of a man!"

Lin Guangyuan also stretched out his legs at this time, "I don't have any!"

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "It means you haven't grown up yet!"

He touched the back of his head, "But I'm 15."

"Just wait, you will grow up, and after a year or two, you will have my sexy leg hair..."

bang~
Lin Xiuqing couldn't hold the spatula firmly, and they all fell on the pot lid.

She turned her head and couldn't help but glared at him reproachfully, "What are you talking about all day long?"

"Didn't I just give them some science, and I didn't say anything, don't you think my leg hair is very sexy?"

Lin Xiuqing turned her head to concentrate on cooking and ignored him. With so many children around, she didn't say anything.

"Crack~crack~crack"

Ye Yaodong slapped off a few more children's hands, they either pulled or touched them.

"What are you touching?"

"Didn't you say sexy? I don't know what sexy is, but it's not easy to touch at all."

"Go, go, men are not allowed to touch men, is it disgusting, bring me a foot wipe."

"Then third uncle, can you take us to see Shaolin Temple!"

"After I sell the shells and they are empty..."

At this time, there was suddenly a fierce dog barking at the gate of the courtyard, and the big black dog was barking loudly.

Before Ye Yaodong sent a few children to see who it was, they ran to the door spontaneously.

"Third Uncle, it's Father Zhou and Father Yan who are next to you."

Ye Yaodong quickly stood up and walked towards the door. The little ones had already calmed down the big black dog and brought him in.

Seeing that each of them was carrying a basket, he thought and knew that they should come to thank them, so he smiled and invited them into the room to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, they explained the purpose of their visit. It was no surprise that they came to thank them. They also lifted the cloth on the basket. The children who were curious and did not leave immediately widened their eyes and opened their mouths into an O shape. .

Cans of malted milk, canned oranges, well-packaged biscuits, and paper-wrapped noodle tea cakes filled a table, and the children who watched were drooling.

They have never seen so many good things, and they are reluctant to blink their eyes, for fear that they will disappear after a blink.

It was the voices of the adults, which pulled them back from their astonishment, and it was only when they reacted one by one that they screamed.

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly drove these children out to play. It was rude to crowd around to see the things they brought over when there were guests.

They thanked them politely with a smile, and explained that they were supposed to come early in the morning, but there were too many shells at the door, and they had been busy until now before they had time to come.

After finishing speaking, we chatted again.

"Adong, the scallops you picked up today haven't been sold yet?"

"Yes, there are too many things and too little labor. It took me a long time to sort them. By the time I finished sorting, the line outside the pier was already hundreds of meters long."

Zhou Laosan said: "I heard them say that the price has dropped. Compared with the initial price, it has dropped by 4 cents. If you just say that you don't want to pick it, it will drop by 7 cents. The next wave may drop the price again."

"That's right, I also heard it outside the pier at that time. It was too late to sort out, and the long queue was scary to watch. I didn't know when the goods would be collected, so I didn't go to the queue. It’s a big loss now, and I don’t know how much the next wave will drop.”

Ye Yaodong was also worried, it was impossible for so many people to jump in line, and the price would have to drop a wave or two when the people in front of him were overweight.

"I heard that because there are too many scallops in this wave, it is difficult to find a good place to buy them at the dock. I plan to cooperate and collect these batches together, and then share them."

"The queue is so long, and it took a long time to close it. I didn't move before, but now I can see a few slow movements, but there are more and more people in the queue at the back. It hasn't decreased at all, and there are more people. .”

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone and suddenly thought of something.

"I just thought of something, and I don't know if it is."

"what?"

"What's the matter?"

Everyone looked at him curiously.

"I heard that there is a wholesale aquatic product market in the city, is there?"

There were some in the last few years of his previous life, but he is really not sure if there are any at this time, so he has to ask them.

"It seems there are!"

"Yes! There is a wholesale aquatic product market in the city," Zhou Da said affirmatively, "I have been to the city when I was on a boat before, and I also went to the aquatic product wholesale market with the boat boss to sell fish!"

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up instantly, "Have you ever been to the fish market? What time does their morning market start? How do you charge for the stall rent?"

Others have also pondered the taste now.
