Chapter 456
Listening to the noise in front, the two waited patiently on the side, and from time to time walked to the side of the familiar people to chat a few sentences.
"Dongzi, what's the situation?"
Ah Guang was impatient waiting at the back of the queue, so he greeted the people before and after the queue, let them help look at it, and ran up to see the situation.
"Some people didn't pick the shells clean, there are many empty shells, and small ones are mixed into the big ones to sell, and they were caught. I heard that the batch sent away earlier was discounted, and now the price behind has to be lowered. Several people inside are discussing it there."
"Ah, I said why the queue hasn't moved for a long time, are they too serious about these collection points? Mixing a little is mixing a little, isn't this very normal?"
"Did you also mix it? Just picked it out, one mixed 30%."
"I'm going! Really? This is too cruel, right? I also mixed a little, thinking that there are so many goods, how can I pick them so carefully, but it's not as cruel as others."
Listening to the ears, everyone is saying, who didn't mix it, isn't it very normal to mix a little, just close one eye and open one eye, what and what...
Ye Yaodong suddenly felt a little out of breath, if the price is suppressed, these people are not wronged, but he has to lose a lot!
When sending it over in the morning, seeing them pick so carefully, big is big, small is small. After going back, he and his father also sorted it like this.
Damn it, if this is suppressed without distinction, he has to cry.
He couldn't chat anymore, hurriedly stepped forward to listen, how to collect the goods? If they dare to treat his solid goods as the same price as other people's water goods, see if he doesn't beat them.
Ye Fu chatted with other familiar people, only to know that everyone mixed a little more or less, and there were quite a few small ones thrown into the big pile, and his own family seemed to pick too carefully!
This won't work, if the price is suppressed, they have to go back and mix a little before they can take it to sell.
The people running forward to see the situation are also quite a few at this time, the father and son squeezed a bit, and after being scolded by the people beside them, they squeezed to the front.
Only heard the collection point people say: The morning price of big scallops is 3 mao 7 fen, small ones 3 mao, the batch sent away in the afternoon was originally this price, but there are too many empty shells inside, saying that they have to be discounted by 4 fen each."
"Ah? Is this too much?"
"Yes, is 4 fen too much?"
"Everyone picked so hard, you said to suppress the price and suppress the price..."
The fellow villagers were all shouting in groups, unwilling to suppress the price.
Ah Cai rolled his eyes, "Too much? Just pick out 10% or 20% of the empty shells, and one jin is not just 4 fen, just now someone mixed 30%, didn't you see?"
"One mouse dropping ruined a pot of porridge, you are definitely not wronged, everyone has mixed it. And 3 mao 3, and 2 mao 6 are the prices of the batch at noon, the quantity of goods collected in the evening is larger, and the price will fall by another 3 fen." Another collector, Ah Gui, said.
"What? Still falling? This is too black-hearted, right?"
"Exactly, your eating appearance is too ugly..."
"This has already fallen by 4 fen, and it has to fall by another 3 fen, this is not all fallen by 7 fen, this is too much, right? You are too black-hearted..."
Ah Cai was so angry that he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, "Who can blame? It's because you mixed too much, and also, big ones 3 mao, small ones 2 mao 3, this is directly weighing without waiting for picking."
These words barely appeased everyone, this price is directly weighed, not picked, they are afraid that if they are mixed, they will have to suppress the price again.
"If anyone really didn't mix it, they can stand out separately and we will ask someone to pick it, if you pick it, it is still 3 mao 3 for big ones, 2 mao 6 for small ones."
The people on the side added: "A large quantity will naturally fall in price, this is also the result of our discussion. No need to pick, directly weigh, it is also good for you, saving the queue for too long."
"If you pick one by one, you won't be able to pick a few until tomorrow morning, and it will fall in price tomorrow, which is not cost-effective."
"The fellow villagers think about it themselves, and also, this price is the price of queuing now, if people come later, it will not be this price, who knows if anyone will be shameless and mix more empty shells, we will ask people to guard at the back of the queue later."
"By the way, if you mix too many small ones into the big ones, the price will be discounted, no one is stupid, right?"
Now the people at the front who were about to reach into the gunny sack also paused? Discounting is not cost-effective, originally scallops are caught less, and big ones are more than small ones.
Ye Yaodong and his father listened to the latest round of harvest indicators of the collection point, and didn't know what to do.
The fellow villagers were also the same, all struggling there.
A few fen less can be directly weighed, no need to pick, but if you pick, you can sell a few fen more per jin.
Everyone was calculating an account in their hearts, this if mixed more than 10%, it must be cost-effective to directly weigh, and no need to wait too long.
If there is no 10% of empty shells, you still have to pick it so as not to lose.
(This paragraph of calculation made me dizzy, calculated repeatedly for an hour, don't know if it's right, my math is bad, just look at it, or don't bring your brain.)
But I'm afraid that picking is too slow, if too many people queue to pick, and it falls in price later, what should I do?
How much money to collect, isn't it what they say, and everyone doesn't have so much leisure to take these goods to sell scattered, who knows when it will be sold.
Everyone was silently calculating, Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu were also pondering there.
"Dad, it's good that there is no stick to kill everyone. Directly weighing has the price of directly weighing, and picking has the price of picking. Compared with the morning, because there are many goods in the evening, it is normal for the collected goods to fall by four fen. We have sorted both big and small well, not afraid to pick again."
Ye Fu also pondered clearly, "Well, it's complicated, but after thinking clearly, it's equivalent to falling by four fen. Those who cheat, directly weigh, and it's not a loss to be cheaper by three fen. Maybe the empty shells picked out are more than 10%, and there are definitely quite a few small ones mixed into the big ones."
"Then let's go back and talk, this queue is also long, anyway, it won't be our turn in a while, go back to eat dinner first."
The two went back to the house again, and told others about the collection situation outside the wharf now.
Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao frowned, "This has to fall by 7 fen? This is too much, right? We didn't mix much."
"There are so many people queuing and watching now, we can't send a bag of shells over to mix, and picking is too slow."
After Ye Yaodong said the situation, he didn't care about them, let them discuss it themselves.
The first thing he did when he returned home was to sit on the recliner at the door and take off his rain boots, they had been stuffy all day...
Looking at the children squatting in a circle in the corner playing, he smiled badly and threw his rain boots at them...
"Ugh~ so smelly~"
"My mom~ what kind of smell~ why is it smellier than shrimp seedlings?"
"Whose foot..."
"Ugh~ Ye Chenghu, it's your dad's foot..."
At this time, they didn't call him Third Uncle.
A group of children habitually gathered in their yard to play, and I don't know where they caught a pile of tadpoles to study how to turn into frogs.
Suddenly, a strong smell of smelly feet swept their noses, disturbing their Taoist heart, making their faces change greatly and break away from the collective, one by one pinching their noses and retreating.
"Is it very smelly?" Ye Yaodong even raised his foot to his nose and smelled it, he couldn't smell his own foot smell, "Not smelly, you come and smell it."
"Ah! yue~ don't want to~ so smelly~"
"Third Uncle, you are so disgusting, go wash your feet."
"Dad, do you have Hong Kong foot? It's so smelly, smellier than shrimp seedlings."
"Shrimp seedlings smell smelly, but taste fragrant."
"yue~"
Ye Yaodong deliberately threw the other rain boot at them, and suddenly they scattered like birds and beasts,
"Ah! There is a hidden weapon, run away!"
"Hurry up and use your Shaolin Kung Fu!"
"Coming!"
I don't know where the funny guy came from.
After Ye Chenghai responded, he pinched his nose tightly with one hand, picked up the shoe with the other hand with his little finger, and threw it at Ye Yaodong, and then kicked his legs in the air with both fists at the same time.
"Look at the move!"
Ye Yaodong dodged their "hidden weapon", looked at them like idiots, "Stupid! Hurry up and get me a pair of slippers."
"Little Aunt's husband, is there still Shaolin Temple to watch in the cinema now?"
"Should be." It should be arranged according to the degree of fire of this movie.
"We pay for the movie tickets ourselves, can you take us to watch it!"
"Wait until I'm free."
Ye Chenghai hurriedly answered, he also wanted to watch Shaolin, "Isn't this just finished picking shells, the typhoon just passed, and we can't go to sea, it just happens to be free."
"You calculated it well, then why ask me?" Ye Yaodong raised his feet and moved his big toes, and shouted into the house, "Ah Qing... forget it, I'll walk in and get the shoes myself."
Can't count on this group of children, the wife is cooking, can only rely on herself.
A group of children didn't get an affirmative answer, and chased after him, "Dad/Third Uncle/Little Aunt's husband... can you..."
Ye Yaodong suddenly turned around, raised his leg forward, and bluffed, scaring them back one by one.
"Go and get me a basin of foot washing water."
"Then can you take us?"
"Don't bargain, if you serve me comfortably, I'll consider it."
Now one by one is more motivated than anything, and even scrambling to fetch water, some even rolled up their sleeves and planned to wash his feet.
"Hey~ this is the meaning of having children! Wash for a while longer, rub the back of the foot."
"Hiss~ who pulled my leg hair~"
Ye Yaodong felt a pain in his foot, hurriedly raised it, reached out and touched it twice, and saw Ye Chengyang holding two hairs innocently looking at him.
"Dad, there is hair!"
"You rabbit cub, everyone has hair."
Ye Chengyang stretched out his little foot a bit seriously, "No hair!"
Ye Yaodong looked at him speechlessly, "Wait until you grow up, you will have it, this is a symbol of a man!"
Lin Guangyuan also stretched out his leg at this time, "I don't have it!"
Ye Yaodong twitched the corners of his mouth, "This shows you haven't grown up yet!"
He touched the back of his head, "But I'm 15."
"Wait, you will grow up, and in a year or two you will have leg hair as sexy as mine..."
Clang~
Lin Xiuqing didn't even hold the spatula firmly, and it fell on the pot lid.
She turned her head and couldn't help but glare at him, "What are you doing?"
"Isn't this popularizing science for them, I didn't say anything, don't you think my leg hair is sexy?"
Lin Xiuqing turned her head to focus on cooking, and didn't bother with him anymore. There were so many children here, and he didn't have a door on his mouth.
"Slap~ slap~ slap"
Ye Yaodong slapped away the salty pig hands of several children again, they were either pulling or touching.
"What are you touching?"
"Didn't you say it was sexy? I don't know what sexy is, but it's not good to touch at all."
"Go go go, men can't touch men, isn't it disgusting, get me a foot wiping cloth."
"Then Third Uncle, can you take us to watch Shaolin Temple!"
"Wait until I finish selling the shells, and I'll..."
At this time, a fierce dog barking suddenly came from the yard door, and the big black dog was barking loudly.
Without waiting for Ye Yaodong to send a few children to see who it was, they had already run to the door spontaneously.
"Third Uncle, it's Zhou Papa and Yan Papa from next door."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, and a few little ones had already appeased the big black dog and brought people in.
He saw that each of them was carrying a basket, and he knew it should be to thank him, so he smiled and invited people into the house to sit down.
As soon as they sat down, they explained their intention, and it was undoubtedly to thank him. They also lifted the cloth on the basket, and the children who were curious and hadn't left suddenly widened their eyes, and their mouths opened into an O shape.
Cans of malted milk, orange canned food, and good-looking biscuits, and noodle tea cakes wrapped in paper, filled a table, making the children's saliva flow out.
They had never seen so many good things, and they couldn't bear to blink their eyes, for fear that they would disappear if they blinked.
It was the adults' talking that pulled them out of the surprised mood, and one by one they reacted and shouted wow.
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly drove these children out to play. There were guests, and it was too impolite to surround them and look at the things they brought.
They smiled and thanked them politely, and explained that they should have come early in the morning, but they encountered too many shells at the door and were busy until now before they had time to come over.
After finishing, they chatted again.
"Ah Dong, the scallops you picked up today, haven't they been sold yet?"
"Yes, there are too many things, too few laborers, sorted for a long time, by the time I finished picking, the queue outside the wharf had already stretched for several hundred meters."
Zhou Laosan said: "I heard them say that the price has fallen, compared to the initial price, it has fallen by 4 fen, if you weigh it directly without picking, it will fall by 7 fen, and the next wave might fall in price again."
"That's it, I also heard it outside the wharf at that time. It was too late after sorting, and the queue was so long, I don't know when the goods could be collected, so I didn't queue, this time I lost a lot, and I don't know how much the price will fall in the next wave."
Ye Yaodong was also worried, so many people couldn't cut the queue, and I don't know when the people in front would weigh, and the price would probably fall by one or two waves.
"I heard that because there are too many scallops this time, the collection point of the wharf is not easy to arrange, and they plan to cooperate to collect this batch together, and then share it."
"That queue is so long, it will take a long time to collect, it hasn't moved before, now it can move a few times at a turtle speed, but there are more and more people queuing behind, it hasn't decreased at all, and there are more."
Ye Yaodong looked at everyone, and suddenly thought of something.
"I just thought of something, I don't know if it is."
"What?"
"What's the matter?"
Everyone looked at him curiously.
"I heard that there is a seafood wholesale market in the city, is there?"
In the past few years, there was one, but I'm not sure if there is one at this time, so I have to ask them.
"Seems like there is!"
"Yes! There is a seafood wholesale market in the city," Zhou Da said affirmatively, "I have been to the city when I was running a boat before, and I have been to the seafood wholesale market to sell fish with the boat boss!"
Ye Yaodong's eyes instantly lit up, "Have you been to the seafood market? What time is their morning market? How is the stall rent collected?"
Others also pondered the taste at this time.
