Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Chen Dong picked up a pomfret and looked at it carefully, almost grinning.

"This product is so beautiful. It's rare to find it now. If those bosses know about it, I don't even need to approve it. They will order three or two of them."

"Brother Dong, how to sell it is your business. I asked you to lend a hand and help carry the goods up?"

"exactly."

It was already dark now, but we had not gone to sea for eight consecutive days, and everyone was working hard, so all the fishing boats came back very late.

Many people on the pier were still waiting for their family's fishing boats, and not surprisingly, they saw the fish being brought up.

Another sensation.

"Big white pomfret? Darling, there were many baskets last time, how many are there this time?"

"What's that look like? This is a fighting pomfret, which is more expensive than a white pomfret. Damn it, no matter how good the luck is, it belongs to others."

"It's Mr. Chen's fishing boat again."

"Someone said last time that Mr. Chen was too spoiled to the boatmen when he hired people to carry goods off the ship. My boatmen want to have this kind of harvest every day. I will support him as my ancestor."

"It's not too early for them to go to sea every day."

"Yes, I came back to get something missing from my boat last time, but it turned out that their boat had just set out to sea, around five o'clock."

"How much does a catty of pomfret cost?"

"It's a hundred and ten dollars. Anyway, Mr. Chen has his own buying station."

"Fuck, how many baskets are these?"

"I loaded seven baskets into the car, tsk tsk, people are just picking up money when they go shopping in the sea."

"Chen Dong, mother of Selin, doesn't pay attention to the good buying station, but insists on buying a ship to grab the harvest for us."

Zhao Qin was quite happy. Anyway, it was Chen Dong who everyone was jealous of and scolded.

Last time there were 17 baskets of white pomfret, and this time there were 19 baskets of fighting pomfret. Plus two large buckets of live fish, it still took two trips to finish.

"Brother, it's late today. Please call your sister-in-law, otherwise the whole family will be in a hurry." Zhao Qin took the phone out of the convenience bag and handed it to his eldest brother.

Then he said to Ah He and Ah Chen, "Will you come up with me?"

"Brother Ping and I," Ah Chen said.

Zhao Qin didn't force himself, and he and Ah He came to the purchasing station. Now that the sea is open, there are people at the dock almost 24 hours a day, so there is no fear of losing things when putting them there.

But they are still used to taking buckets and baskets home, and now they also add fishing nets.

Who knows if someone got jealous and took away their net. Instead of stealing it, they just dumped it out and used it to keep them busy the next day.

So after unloading the goods at the purchasing station, Ah He had to ride a tricycle to the boat and pull everything back.

There is no need to take the fishing nets home, they can just be placed directly in the backyard of the collection station.

"That's right. Did you run far away today? Why did you catch the pomfret?" Zhao Qin wanted to stay and sell goods, so naturally he no longer had to worry about things on the ship. As soon as he walked into the buying station, Father Chen asked.

"It took nearly six hours to drive back and forth. It's quite a distance. Uncle, you can pick one and steam it. My eldest brother said it tastes good."

Father Chen took one out of the basket and weighed it in his hand, "It's not small, weighing two or three pounds. It's of excellent quality."

After watching it, he threw the fish into the basket again.

Seeing that he didn't take it, Zhao Qin didn't say anything anymore. He was already familiar with it, so there was no need to be polite anymore.

"Brother Dong, there's no need to choose, right?"

"No, they're all pretty big, so just weigh them. By the way, let's weigh the live fish first."

There were four blue-spotted tails, two big and two small. The two big tails together weighed 31 and a half kilograms, and the two small tails weighed just over 5 kilograms together. Others such as stone snapper, yellow wing, etc. passed the scale one after another, and it was time to fight the big-headed pomfret.

There were 19 baskets. The heavy basket weighed more than 60 kilograms, and the light basket weighed more than 50 kilograms. After removing the one that Zhao Qin wanted to bring back for his own food, after weighing and removing the heat, there were still 1092 kilograms and 7 taels.

"Aqin, you are so lucky. This is the first time I have seen someone catch so many pomfrets at once. Those who go out to sea sometimes only catch dozens or hundreds of catties at a time.

How about I share a share in your big ship? "

Zhao Qin gave him a look and let him experience it for himself.

It's typical that you don't make enough money, right? It's too unkind to suck blood from just yourself.

"Brother Dong, I plan to open a purchasing station myself."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, I just don't want to suffer a little loss."

Father Chen watched the two brothers bickering and did not break up the argument. Instead, he sat there with a cup of tea and listened with gusto. Well, the meat was all rotten in the pot, so it doesn't matter.

"Brother Dong, what's going on?" Zhao Qin wanted to settle the accounts as soon as possible. It was already past eight o'clock. Even if he went back to finish dinner now, it would still be ten o'clock. He had to go to sea early tomorrow.

"Don't worry, I'll call and check."

Chen Dong took out his cell phone and started dialing, "Mr. Du, we collected a few big pomfrets today. They are fresh. We just caught them in the afternoon. The big ones are three to four kilograms, and the small ones are one or two kilograms. Yes, yes, all are needed. Got it? Okay, okay, then I will deliver it to the old place in the city tomorrow and you can pick it up."

"Mr. Guo, I came across a rare product today, a big pomfret. How much is it? It's about two to three hundred kilograms. Oh, that's great. This is the most honorable thing to give away. Okay, I'll leave you forty or fifty kilograms." "

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Adong from Xianlong Aquatic Products. Thanks to you for the yellow-lip fish incident last time. How many giant pomfrets have I received? Will I send two to you tomorrow?"

Zhao Qin was numb. He thought Chen Dong was joking just now on the boat. Well, he really planned to retail directly.

Almost all of them are customers in the city. It is convenient to pick up the goods at one point tomorrow.

Chen Dong hung up the phone and was about to negotiate the price with Zhao Qin, but the next moment the phone rang, "Hello, Mr. Li, yes, there is a pomfret fight. There are too many to handle. The maximum weight is one hundred kilograms for you. Do you think so?" ?”

After hanging up the phone again, Chen Dong said with a smile: "Let's see, I don't know if this guy has enough points."

"Tsk tsk, Brother Dong, your connections are worth at least two million."

"Aqin, you are getting better and better at talking. However, our brothers will settle the accounts. The price I will give them is 100 yuan per catty, and I will give you 85 yuan, okay?"

"Very good, hurry up and do the math, I'm exhausted." If it were really wholesale, Chen Dongfa's estimated price would be at most 90 yuan, so it would be nice to give him 75 yuan.

Of course, since he is selling to old customers, he will naturally not sell at the retail price, but at a slightly higher price than the wholesale price, so both parties will benefit.

"Aqin, sit here and have a cup of tea." Father Chen waved.

Before the accounts were settled, the eldest brother and the others arrived. Father Chen took Jiachen and asked him a few more questions.

The total price of pomfret and other miscellaneous fish was 2200 yuan. They were sold together for [-] yuan, and Chen Dong added up the bill.

Zhao Qin counted out 950 yuan and handed it to Ah Chen, "Your brother-in-law left in a hurry early in the morning and didn't say anything about salary. Now let's make it clear, the fixed salary is 2000 yuan a month.

There is a commission of 1% of the net income for going to sea. As long as the weather is bad and you cannot go to sea, you can rest, but as long as the weather is good, you cannot ask for leave. You agree or disagree. If you disagree, it is still too late to regret it. "

Jiachen looked at Chen Dong.

"The basic salary is high, why not get 1000? After all, you can't go to sea every day in a month, so the commission should be cut in half. I won't talk about other ships. Your ship's income is very good."

"My ship's income is high, and it's due to busy people. If there's no problem, just do as I say. Now, take this money, which is today's commission, and the fixed salary will be paid monthly."

Chen Dong was embarrassed to speak. This was a bit too much, which made him very confused. However, Chen's father took the money and stuffed it into Ah Chen's pocket. Just take as much as you want.”

"Thank you, Brother Aqin."

"You've worked hard yourself. Okay, you don't have to go to the village tomorrow, just wait for us at the collection station. Uncle, we're going back too, we're too tired."

"Let's go back. Remember to soak your feet in hot water at night. It's very humid on the boat, so don't be careless just because you're young."

"Got it, uncle."
