Chapter 72: Daily Income Nearly One Hundred Yuan

A-Cai tucked the cigarette behind his ear, he was very busy now, "Aiya, don't worry, we are old acquaintances, won't treat you badly."

"Brothers, clear accounts, you say a number first, so I can consider whether to sell or not? If it's not cost-effective, I'll send it to Hongsheng to ask myself. It wasn't easy to go out during the typhoon, otherwise that sea bass that day might have sold for a higher price if I sent it to Hongsheng myself..."

A-Cai's mouth twitched. He didn't even earn 2 yuan from that fish because of this guy's price hike... now he had the nerve to bring it up.

"Old brother, we are all from the same village, fellow villagers, your father's goods are all collected by me, can I not give a fair price? Don't worry, this red grouper is calculated at 6 yuan 5 cents a jin, how about it?"

"Isn't this price the same as the sea bass price? That fish was less than two jin, one price 12 yuan, this red grouper is definitely more valuable than sea bass, right? Don't think that because we rural people go to town less, we don't know the goods. 8 yuan a jin, if it works, weigh it!"

A-Cai felt pain in his flesh, the fat on his face trembled, why was this kid getting harder and harder to talk to? Every time he stepped on his bottom line.

"There's really no such big profit, old brother, look at these seafood, ask in town and you'll know, I only earn one or two cents a jin, I don't even earn one cent for the dragon-head fish, just three or five li..."

Ye Yaodong patted his big belly unceremoniously, "Look at this big belly of yours, definitely didn't earn less, even if the profit is one or two cents, it can't stand the large quantity. Moreover, can dragon-head fish compare to this fish? You have the nerve to take one or two cents to talk about things?"

People watching the fun nearby also burst into laughter, "Exactly, look at that belly, it's clearly all oil!"

"Right, you eat less, save some, rich people only look at the goods, don't care about money, you just sell it at a higher price."

Ye Fu tried his best to strive, "We have no opinion on other goods, you just add a bit for this fish."

Lin Shu also helped speak, "We are all as thin as bamboo poles, A-Cai, you have the nerve to suppress the price, hurry up, it's not easy to catch a red grouper, I've been fishing for decades and haven't caught a red grouper, this one looks like it's almost 3 jin, definitely easy to sell."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ this bright color quality, really isn't goods that our near sea can have," A-Gui, who collected goods next door, also ran over to join the fun, "A-Cai, do you want it? If not, I'll collect it."

"Go, go, what's your business, forget it, 8 yuan is 8 yuan," A-Cai frowned, with a bitter face, "I really didn't earn your money, old brother, I only earned a few cents from you for the few fish you brought recently..."

"Stop nagging, we are all drifting at sea risking our lives to earn money, you just wait here to collect goods and eat until you are fat, have the nerve to say you only earned a few cents from me, don't you feel guilty? Hurry and weigh."

A-Cai shut up, earn less is earn less, just treat it as getting familiar with the bosses, directly weigh.

"2 jin 8!"

He recorded a note on the list, "Big red grouper 2 jin 8, 22 yuan 4 cents, also help me lift the skate over to weigh."

Seeing those baskets of skate on the scale, everyone's attention was also focused on the skate, and they were all discussing it all at once...

"This skate usually lives on the seabed and is not easy to catch, Ye Laosan really ran into dog shit luck..."

"Heard he hit three nets of skate."

"How did you catch it, Ye Laosan? I see the fish goods you catch are more than others, is there any technique? Teach us!"

Ye Fu looked at the fellow villagers watching the fun happily, "What technique, today the work of driving the boat and trawling was handed to Dongzi, he dragged several nets, maybe his newcomer hand is prosperous."

"Is that so?"

"Really or fake?"

Everyone was pondering, should they try it too? But after thinking about it, besides women and children, there were no newcomers at home, and they couldn't ask women and children to drive the boat, so they could only give up.

Could only look at others making a fortune with envy and jealousy.

"Skate, 386 jin, this is 18 cents a jin, total... let me calculate, total 69 yuan 4 cents 8 li, forget it, record 69 yuan 5 cents." Afraid Ye Yaodong would nag again, he took the integer.

Actually, Ye Yaodong wanted him to take the integer 70, but restrained himself. 5 cents is not small now, can't count the fraction.

"Lift those three baskets of Japanese horse mackerel over to weigh..."

"This Japanese horse mackerel is three cents a jin?" Ye Yaodong asked uncertainly.

"Right!"

"Don't sell this Japanese horse mackerel, Dad?"

So cheap, a hundred jin is only three yuan, really not as good as keeping it to dry yourself.

Ye Mu also smiled and said: "Harvest is big today, this Japanese horse mackerel is not worth much, and we all like to eat it, better to keep it and not sell it, half to dry, half to pickle."

"Sure, lift it back in a while." Ye Fu nodded. Today's income was abundant, not bad for the three or four yuan of Japanese horse mackerel, it's not bad to keep it and dry a few dozen jin to eat slowly.

People by the sea can't have no fish on the dining table. If there is no bowl of fish on the table, it means there is nothing to go with today.

After weighing the shrimp and crabs, the total price was 96 yuan 5 cents. Everyone was really jealous now. If the Japanese horse mackerel was sold, their daily income would definitely exceed one hundred, which was very eye-catching.

After they finished weighing, it was Lin Jingye's turn. He smiled and shook his head, "Compared to you, these of mine have become three melons and two dates."

"Not bad either, looks like these of yours should also be worth thirty-something yuan."

"If I hadn't seen your goods, I would still be very happy. After the typhoon, seafood is indeed more than before."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder, "Aiya, it's okay for you to drag so many goods, it's better than not enough and worse than enough."

"Indeed, looks like you have grown a lot, come help me lift this basket of crabs..."

"Alright!"

When lending a hand, they chatted for a while. After they borrowed the flatbed cart, they moved the remaining Japanese horse mackerel and miscellaneous fish onto the cart. Today Ye Mu also specially kept a few thin swimming crabs, planning to make drunken crabs at night.

Because Ye Mu specially left two bowls of dough noodles for the workers' afternoon snack, and not much time had passed, it was just right and hot. When they returned, they took a shower and directly ate the dough noodles, padded their stomachs, and went to make up for sleep.

It wasn't until dinner time that they were called up.

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed folding clothes, in a daze, then moved over to hug her waist and rubbed his head against her back.

"What time is it? Finished work?"

Lin Xiuqing moved her body uncomfortably, "Mm, it's 6 o'clock, I'm full of sweat, don't stick to me, you get up and eat first, I'll take a shower first."

"Just woke up, not much time passed since eating the snack, eat later, you wash yours, I won't look at you."

"Then you go out and watch the children, they all just finished showering, don't let them get dirty again."

Anyway, she just didn't want him to stay in the room and watch.

"Alright."

It's not like I haven't seen it!
