Chapter 116 I heard someone wants to be a matchmaker for you?
"hehe!"
"Isn't there less fish lately? The price must be better."
"Remember, if you have something good, send it to me here first."
"The price is definitely higher than where you sell it elsewhere."
Liu Gang forced a smile on his face and felt a little helpless. A competitor has come and the price is not higher. What should he do if Zhao Dahai sends the fish to the other side? The price of purchasing fresh seafood has increased by 20% in the past few days. Next, he said no.
The price must continue to rise in order to grab good fish, shrimps and crabs.
Zhao Dahai glanced at a newly opened restaurant on the opposite road and smiled. This was most likely the reason. However, there was no need to rub salt into Liu Gang's wounds. The higher prices were good for him and he would make more money.
Liu Gang called the people in the restaurant to come out, fished out the black sea bream from the bucket, drained it into a basket, and weighed it. It was eighteen pounds and seven taels, a total of six hundred and fifty-four yuan and fifty cents.
"correct!"
"Boss Liu."
"Do you want this thing?"
Zhao Dahai almost forgot to take out a mesh bag from the bucket containing small black sea bream, which contained tiger fish alone.
"Yo!"
"This is good stuff!"
"How could you not want to?"
"Three hundred... no, three hundred and fifty yuan per pound!"
When Liu Gang saw the size of the tiger fish and the fish, he immediately took the initiative to increase the price by fifty.
Zhao Dahai knew that the price of tiger fish was not low. A catty fish could usually be sold for 150 yuan per catty. His own fish weighed two jins, but it could not be sold for more than 350 yuan per catty. So he offered this price.
The price shows that Liu Gang is under a lot of pressure.
Zhao Dahai is not a saint. If you have money, you can't make money. It is impossible to let 351 jins go without selling. You have to ask for 310 jins before selling it. Liu Gang found this price and it is definitely not a loss. He just makes a little less, and it is over the scale.
, two catties and twenty taels, a fish costs seven hundred and seventy yuan, which is much more valuable than the eighteen catties and seventy taels of black sea bream we just sold.
"The sea."
"Can you get some good stuff? Grouper, Amazing crab paste, blood eel, tiger fish, anything."
Liu Gang settled the account, counted the money, and handed it to Zhao Dahai.
"hehe!"
"Boss Liu."
"These are all valuable items you mentioned."
"Would I let it go if I could catch it? No one can let it go without making money, right?"
…
"There won't be any groupers in the shallow sea area, but if they are, they are relatively small and not worth much."
"The red spot and gentian grouper sold to you were both an accident."
…
"The paste crabs and pickled crabs are out of season now. If they are not out of season, it will be very difficult to catch them in large quantities."
"There must be a blue crab with a big head if you go deep into the mangrove, but no one can go in."
…
"Needless to say, things like tiger fish are very rare."
"I accidentally caught one when I was fishing for black sea bream. I specialize in fishing for tiger fish and grouper, so I can only catch the northwest wind."
…
Liu Gang sighed. What he said was correct. The things he wanted to collect were all rare and good things. Zhao Dahai was not the son of the Sea Dragon King, so it was impossible for him to harvest something like this every day.
Liu Gang thought about it for a while and asked Zhao Dahai if he could specially catch the fish, shrimps and crabs he wanted. As long as he went to sea, no matter whether there was a harvest or not, he would pay two hundred yuan a day. If he caught it, he would buy it at the market price.
Zhao Dahai immediately refused.
What Liu Gang means is that regardless of whether he can catch the fish, shrimps and crabs he wants, he will get two hundred yuan a day. That’s six thousand yuan a month. Most people who go fishing may not be able to make so much in a month. However,
What Liu Gang wants is not ordinary fish, shrimps and crabs that he can catch just by thinking about it. It makes sense that he didn't catch it for a day or two. If he didn't catch it for ten and a half months or the number of catches is very small, Liu Gang might feel that he didn't go fishing at all.
I just went out to sea to find a place to lie down for a day, and when I came back and said I didn't catch anything, I still got two hundred.
It's true that you want to make money, but you can't do such a thing.
Zhao Dahai told Liu Gang that if he really caught good things like groupers, he would definitely send them over. He left on his motorcycle and rushed to the fish market. He stood at the gate and looked at it for a while, making sure that Zhang Li was not there before carrying it.
Yu walked up to Ding Xiaoxiang.
Ding Xiaoxiang took a large plastic basket and placed it on the ground.
Zhao Dahai poured the fish in the bucket into the basket, drained the water, and weighed it. It weighed thirty-five pounds per tael.
Ding Xiaoxiang gave the same price as last time, fourteen yuan and three cents per pound. She took a calculator and pressed it a few times, and calculated that the total was five hundred and one hundred and ninety-three cents, which is calculated as five hundred and two yuan.
"Can you catch so many fish in one day?"
Ding Xiaoxiang was very surprised. Fishing boats usually don’t go very far. It’s not easy to catch twenty kilograms of fish in the dark, usually ten, eight or even three to five kilograms. Zhao Dahai caught thirty-five kilograms of one tael, which was not a big deal.
easy.
"There are fish in the sea!"
"That's why we can catch so many."
Zhao Dahai didn't brag that he could catch so many fish every day.
The fish sold to Ding Xiaoxiang and Liu Gang were all caught in one day. I figured out how to watch the harvest from running water, but even so, it is impossible to have such a harvest every day. Knowing how to watch running water only gives you the opportunity to catch more fish.
Fish does not mean that you will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish.
Yesterday, we caught dozens of kilograms of fish in two places. We can still catch fish in these two places tomorrow, but there will never be as many fish as yesterday.
It would be good to catch half or even a third or a quarter.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai and remembered what she heard under the banyan tree in the village a few nights ago. She was a little embarrassed to ask, but she wanted to know, so she hesitated for a while before speaking.
"ah?!"
"Someone is acting as a matchmaker for me? And it's from your village?"
"How is this possible?"
"No such thing!"
Zhao Dahai was startled and confused.
"snort!"
"No such thing? The person who wants to be a matchmaker for you is a man named Jiang Shiyan from my village."
"Ma Hongyu is from your village, right?"
"Jiang Shiyan just asked Ma Hongyu to inquire about you!"
After Ding Xiaoxiang finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a bit off, and her face became hot and turned red.
"Why!"
"I really don't know what's going on! Ma Hongyu is indeed from my village. I have a good relationship with her husband Lei Da."
"Isn't it because my grandma messed up the rules? Or something else?"
"I have to ask when I get back."
…
"How old am I now? Why did I get married so early?"
"Not a few cents in my pocket. Just an old house."
"You can't let someone marry into the house and drink the northwest wind, right?"
"Work hard and earn money for a few years before we talk."
…
Zhao Dahai was thinking that the person he wanted to marry was Ding Xiaoxiang who was standing in front of him. He had to be strict about his stance and there could be no misunderstandings.
"I think you're right. You can't let people get married and enjoy the northwest wind. It would be better to earn a few more years of money before thinking about getting married."
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and seemed relieved when she heard what Zhao Dahai said.
"Huh!?"
"correct!"
"Have you ever become concerned about this matter?"
Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang standing in front of him and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"How can I care about you? I just happened to hear about such a thing and saw you, so I asked. You hurry up! My mother will be here soon!"
Ding Xiaoxiang's face suddenly turned red, she shook her head in denial, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
"OK!"
"I'm leaving!"
"Come back another day!"
Zhao Dahai knew that Ding Xiaoxiang had a tender face and that it was enough to cultivate her feelings slowly. He was not in a hurry and left with the empty bucket.
Ding Xiaoxiang watched Zhao Dahai walk out quickly and touched her earlobe. It was as hot as boiling water.
"snort!"
"Who would care about you? I just happened to meet you and ask!"
Ding Xiaoxiang muttered and tidied up the black sea bream that she had just collected. They were four or two fish that were not big in size but were still alive in the fishing mouth. The fish market was very easy to sell. Put enough water in the big basin. Put all the fish in and test the water temperature.
, added two blocks of ice, turned on the oxygen machine, and more than thirty kilograms of fish were sold out at the dinner market.
Zhang Li was carrying her lunch box and saw a large plastic basin in front of the stall, holding dozens of kilograms of black sea bream for oxygenation.
"Yo!"
"Have you collected the fish again!?"
Zhang Li shouted and handed the lunch box to Ding Xiaoxiang.
Ding Xiaoxiang felt a little guilty. Zhao Dahai had just left and didn't say anything. He just nodded, took the lunch box, opened it and ate.
Zhang Li pulled up a stool and sat down. She looked at the big basin in front of the stall and frowned. She felt something was wrong, but she immediately figured out what it was.
"How much did it cost?"
…
"Fourteen dollars and three cents?"
“The price is a bit high!”
"Didn't I tell you last time that I couldn't offer such a high price?"
…
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment.
Did you say that last time?
correct!
I did say this last time!
Zhang Li now understood why she felt something was wrong - she already felt something was wrong last time, but she just didn't figure it out.
Ding Xiaoxiang has collected a lot of fish recently, all of which were collected when she was away. The prices were a bit high. In the past few times, I thought it was because Ding Xiaoxiang was inexperienced and charged high prices. Now that I think about it carefully, this cannot be the case.
.
Ding Xiaoxiang started selling fish at the age of twelve. She was very shrewd and had a sharper tongue than herself. No one who bought or sold fish took advantage of her. Maybe the price was too high?
Ding Xiaoxiang deliberately set a higher price!
Zhao Dahai!
It must be Zhao Dahai!
Zhao Dahai took advantage of him to leave the stall to sell fish and seduce his daughter.
Zhang Li suddenly thought of Zhao Dahai, her face turned ugly, and she was filled with anger. She turned around and glared at Ding Xiaoxiang. Just as she was about to ask, she immediately thought that this was not possible. If asked now, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely deny it.
"mom!"
"What happened?"
Ding Xiaoxiang was eating her meal, and Zhang Li turned her head and stared, her heart skipping a beat.
"fine!"
"See if you've finished eating!"
Zhang Li forced a smile on her face.
"How could it be so fast!?"
"I'm not a pig. I can eat so much food in five minutes!"
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.
"eat slowly!"
"Not in a hurry!"
Zhang Li made up her mind to change the time next time and catch the current situation. Ding Xiaoxiang had nothing to say. The key was to teach Zhao Dahai a lesson. The brat wanted to eat swan meat. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Ding Xiaoxiang secretly complained. I must have guessed that something was wrong. She must have guessed that Zhao Dahai was selling the fish. I don’t know where the problem was. Last time I wanted to see Zhao Dahai, I made it clear. I could only come when.
If you are selling fish or selling it to others, you must be careful with your wife, but I forgot to mention the matchmaking thing just now.
Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang were thinking about their own things. For a while, neither of them spoke, only the oxygen machine was bubbling.
