Chapter 86 Zhoushan seafood is really cheap
Chen Qiu and Chen Dong were sitting in the living room watching TV at this time.
Although they could only receive two TV stations, CCTV and Nori, they were still fascinated by watching it and were reluctant to move their eyes away.
The TV was brought by Chen Xia instructed her elder sister from Lin'an.
Now he doesn't lack industrial coupons or money. He thought that the two little guys would be very bored during the winter vacation, so he thought of buying a TV.
Well, in fact, he felt that the night was too boring, and the night without a cell phone or midnight snack was too difficult.
This is a 14-inch Golden Star brand black and white TV. Chen Xia seems to be very LOW. There is no way. He can't get a color TV for the time being. He is planning to get another 21-inch color TV when he has the opportunity to go to Dongguan Province in the future.
Today, this hot pot meal has completely refreshed the three views of four female college students.
This is the first time in Chen Chun, Zhan Aiju, Fang Meizhen, and Shen Huishan have eaten so much meat in one meal in their life, and it is still a precious beef.
Everyone sat together, the room was filled with steaming hot pot, the cold wind outside, the cold winter and the ice and fire made them feel unreal.
Is this still in 1981? Why can’t they even eat enough food at home, and Chen Xia’s family can’t even finish meat?
I sighed again in my heart, but the speed of picking meat from the pot cannot be slow.
The next day, the busy man Chen Xia was on a business trip again, this time he went to the Zhoushan Islands.
Chen Dong also clamored to go, but what kind of scenery can the beach be there in winter? So he didn't agree to him, and only promised him to wait for the summer to take him to the beach to see the beauty of bikini.
If there is a bikini.
This time I went to Zhoushan Islands, two large trucks from the Fourth Courtyard went with me. The driver was the squad leader Wei Hongxing, and another named Zhong Guangrong.
Chen Xia and Gu Lin were sitting in Wei Hongxing's car, while "Embroidered Uniform Guard" Wang Hongjuan and Kong Zhenzhen were sitting in another car.
Zhoushan Islands are about 200 kilometers away from Yuezhou, but the road is very difficult to walk. After a 5-hour drive, the truck drove to Baifeng Wharf, Yongbo City.
Chen Xia asked Zhong Guangrong to guard the truck and wait in the guesthouse. He took Gu Lin, Wei Hongxing, Wang Hongjuan and Kong Zhenzhen on a large ship and headed to the Shenjiamen port of Zhoushan Islands.
The Zhoushan Islands in later generations were connected to Yongbo City with a cross-sea bridge, and it also had the world's largest port. With the help of logistics, tourism, and fishery, the economic conditions on the island were very developed.
But Zhoushan was still very poor in 1981. At this time, there was no port logistics and no tertiary tourism industry. The only pillar industry on the island was fishing.
Although the fishery resources were very rich at this time, even the big yellow croaker was caught on one net, the problem was that it could not be sold.
Without a developed logistics industry and high-speed network, before the refrigerated transportation of seafood was impossible, Zhoushan’s seafood could only be supplied to a few nearby cities.
Moreover, at this time, ordinary cities did not have cold storage and could not store seafood for a long time, so the purchase volume was also very small.
The fishermen can only make a lot of fresh seafood, but even the sales of dried salted fish are not very good, so Zhoushan is poor and the people are very poor.
Just in time, Chen Xia, who could solve the transportation and preservation process, found another opportunity to make a fortune.
After more than two hours of sailing, Chen Xia and the others got off the ship at the Shenjiamen Wharf.
The three young nurses were very excited along the way and kept running around outside the ship. They were not afraid of the wind being paralyzed when the cold wind blew. They even forced Chen Xia to help them take photos.
It's so pitiful that I've never seen a child from the sea.
The Shenjiamen Wharf is the largest fishing boat wharf in the Zhoushan Islands. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and most fishing boats have returned to the port, carrying a ship full of seafood.
But everyone is not very happy because they have to face the problem of how to sell it.
If it cannot be sold, the fishing team will lose money, and the consequence of this loss is that their village will endure hunger for a year.
Fishermen also need to eat. At the beach, only rich people can eat meat, while poor people are only worthy of seafood.
At this time, on a fishing boat, the boss of the boat, Dong Dafu, was praying that his fishing catch would be noticed by a state-owned processing factory, and then sold it all before the New Year so that they could have a big fat New Year.
It was already evening when Chen Xia and his friends arrived at the Shenjiamen port. Everyone found a hotel to stay in, and then went out to find food together in the cold sea breeze.
Gu Lin and the others were very excited to see so many strange fish. And the little girl knew that Chen Xia was not short of money, so she let go and ordered a large table of seafood.
While everyone was having a good time, Chen Xia was busy asking about the seafood prices here and where to get cheap seafood.
The manager in this state-owned hotel is the best candidate for inquiries.
The hotel business was not good at this time. The Chinese New Year was coming soon and all the foreigners left. Who would come to the restaurant for dinner?
So the manager was also quite bored. He took the cigarette thrown by Chen Xia and started chatting.
"Little brother, you need to find out the price of this seafood. I really found the right person. No one knows better than me."
The manager's surname is Ma, who is in his forties and has to go to the market to purchase seafood every day, so he knows the latest prices.
"Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year. There are more ships coming back, and fewer buyers are buying, so the price of seafood has also dropped. For example, hairtail, such a thick first-class hairtail, 2 pounds per pound; yellow croaker, 2 pounds per pound; 3 min; 9 min; mackerel, 1 min and 2 min; pomfret, 2 min."
Chen Xia was shocked, so cheap? He asked quickly: "Brother Ma, if our unit wants to purchase a large amount of money, do you have any way to help introduce it?"
"Really, fake? Little brother, aren't you here to travel?" Manager Ma asked in surprise.
"I am the deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Fourth College of Yuezhou. Look, this is my work permit and letter of introduction. I was also entrusted by our unit to buy seafood with a few of my colleagues. When I go back, the goods will be distributed to the employees."
"Oh, this is a coincidence. There are a few fishing boats in our commune who have just returned and are worried about who to sell seafood to. So, our commune has invited this meal. I will come to you tomorrow morning and take you to see how seafood is like?"
Manager Ma belongs to Yangdao Commune, which is also a collective hotel opened by Yangdao Commune.
The island lacks farmland, so it relies on the sea to eat. The local government also allows the commune to open its own hotels, fishing boats, etc. Chen Xia is definitely an unexpected surprise given to them by God.
I made an appointment with Manager Ma to see the goods the next day. In the evening, Chen Xia paid for the money and asked everyone to watch a movie together. When traveling, it would be like a traveler.
