Chapter 242 It’s daily life in the fishing village again
Ding Chongshan opened the door and saw Lin Zuhua, and immediately asked him to come into the room and sit down on the sofa in the hall.
Ding Xiaoxiang was watching TV when she saw Lin Zuhua and immediately called her uncle. She had often come to her home when she was young and was very familiar with him. She was the best friend of her father Ding Chongshan when he was fishing.
"What's wrong?"
"Come to my place so late? Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, just make some, cook some noodles or something."
Ding Chongshan left boiling water to make tea.
"What are we going to eat? If you don't eat one or two meals, you won't die. It's a good opportunity to lose weight."
"Stone snapper!"
“Lots of stone snapper!”
Lin Zuhua was very excited.
"ah?"
"Stone snapper?"
"Are you talking about the stone snapper in the sea?"
Ding Chongshan was confused as to what Lin Zuhua meant by stone snapper.
Lin Zuhua picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and lips, and said loudly and excitedly that he had waited for two or three hours at the Langtou Village Pier before waiting for Zhao Dahai. He boarded the speedboat and saw something very strange inside.
Lots of stone snapper.
"They're all between one and two pounds. They're not too big, but they can't hold much."
"It's all inside the living cabin."
"Definitely no less than a hundred pounds!"
Lin Zuhua danced with joy.
"ah!?"
"Did you say that Zhao Dahai went out to sea today and caught more than a hundred kilograms of stone sea bream?"
Ding Chongshan realized that in the morning, Lin Zuhua said that he should go directly to the Langtou Village Pier to wait for Zhao Dahai to see if he could book a boat to go fishing.
"right!"
"That's Zhao Dahai."
Lin Zuhua nodded heavily.
Ding Xiaoxiang was sitting nearby, eating snacks and watching TV. When she heard Zhao Dahai's name, she immediately pricked up her ears.
Stone snapper?
Zhao Dahai went out to sea and caught stone sea bream, and was it more than a hundred catties of stone sea bream?
Why!
This 100 kilogram stone snapper must be able to sell for at least 20,000 yuan.
Make money!
Ding Xiaoxiang spent the whole day worrying about whether Zhao Dahai could catch fish and make money when he went to sea.
"ah?"
"Uncle Lin."
"Is this what you're talking about, Zhao Dahai caught so many stone snappers? Doesn't that mean he has to make a fortune?"
Ding Xiaoxiang pretended not to recognize Zhao Dahai and looked very surprised.
"ha!"
"Who says it's not true? He must have made a fortune!"
"Stone snapper of this size usually costs 150 or 60 yuan per pound, right?"
"Now is the fishing moratorium, and the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are rising."
"Your dad knows best how much these fish can be sold for!"
Lin Zuhua looked at Ding Chongshan.
"A pound of stone snapper can now be sold for two hundred yuan per pound."
"If it really weighs more than 100 kilograms, this is more than 20,000 yuan. Zhao Dahai's speedboat can run down in one day, and the gas cost is estimated to be around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan."
"I made fifteen thousand yuan a day."
Ding Chongshan is very aware of the price of rain crabs. The price is usually very high. Now that it is the fishing moratorium, it will definitely continue to rise.
When Ding Xiaoxiang heard this, her brows widened and she was extremely happy.
"I have to find this Zhao Dahai and see if I can get the fish from him."
Ding Chongshan took out the cigarette from his pocket, looked at Ding Xiaoxiang sitting next to him, and stuffed it back.
"dad."
"If it's to collect fish, don't look for it."
Ding Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes and immediately shook her head.
"ah?"
"What's going on? Why can't I find Zhao Dahai?"
"You have to sell the fish you catch! What's the difference between selling it to me and selling it to others? If others can buy it, I can buy it too!"
Ding Chongshan was confused now, why did Ding Xiaoxiang say that he didn't need to find Zhao Dahai.
"The fish caught by Zhao Dahai are all sold to Liu Gang's restaurant or some other people. Can the price you offer be higher than Liu Gang's price? Liu Gang knows, and he might fight you tooth and nail."
Ding Xiaoxiang smiled, her father, Ding Chongshan, would definitely not be able to offer a higher price.
Ding Chongshan shook his head. When Ding Xiaoxiang said this, he knew that he had no chance. He was a fishmonger and the price was based on the quantity. The collected fish, shrimps and crabs were divided into categories and sold to different people. Liu Gang's restaurant offered hundreds of prices.
One hundredth higher than his own. If Zhao Dahai had such a channel to sell fish, it would be impossible for him to sell it to himself and offer a higher price than Liu Gang. Even if he could make money, he would not make much money. There was no need to waste such effort.
"Ding Chongshan."
"Why did you miss the point? Don't always commit occupational diseases."
"It's about asking Zhao Dahai to go fishing."
"Didn't you say in the morning that you can't catch fish in this weather? This Zhao Dahai not only catches fish, but also catches valuable fish."
"Zhao Dahai is indeed powerful."
Lin Zuhua doesn't care about business at all.
Ding Chongshan nodded, Zhao Dahai was indeed powerful, and immediately asked if the ship's position had been confirmed.
Lin Zuhua sighed. Zhao Dahai did not plan to take anyone out to sea for fishing now. He said that the fish situation was unstable. In addition, he just bought a speedboat and the fishing spots and positions were not very familiar. He would not consider taking people with him until the fishing moratorium ends in at least two months.
I left a business card about going fishing.
Ding Chongshan is not surprised. Zhao Dahai's speedboat will definitely take people out to fish, but it is not mainly about taking people out to fish to make money. It is very particular about reputation. Unlike some speedboats that can't catch any fish and just make money by taking people out to fish, as long as there are people
Come, agree immediately, and not consider whether the fish situation is stable or not, whether you can catch the fish or not.
Ding Xiaoxiang returned to her room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and then spit it out.
Zhao Dahai is catching fish!
Make money!
Ding Xiaoxiang held her little fist and waved it vigorously.
It's quiet at night.
Ding Chongshan finished smoking and walked into the room, getting ready to sleep.
"Does Ding Xiaoxiang know Zhao Dahai from Langtou Village?"
Ding Chongshan remembered that when Lin Zuhua told him that Zhao Dahai had caught a fish at night, Ding Xiaoxiang's reaction was a bit strange.
"Why do you ask this?"
Zhang Li's heart skipped a beat and she didn't know why Ding Chongshan asked this.
Ding Chongshan talked about Lin Zuhua's visit that night.
"Ding Xiaoxiang often sends fish to Liu Gang's restaurant. This Zhao Dahai often sells fish to Ding Chongshan. I must know him if I see him often."
Zhang Li frowned, not wanting Ding Chongshan to know about Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai now. Ding Chongshan likes fishing, so he might have a good impression. This is not what she wants to see now.
"oh?!"
"That's what happened."
"No wonder I know that all the fish caught by Zhao Dahai were sold to Liu Gang."
"I originally thought about contacting Zhao Dahai to see if I could collect fish from him."
"If it's like this, there's no chance."
Ding Chongshan didn't think much about it. It was late and he had to go to bed and rest. He would continue to buy fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow.
early morning.
Zhao Dahai woke up around six o'clock, took a big bowl of freshly cooked porridge, added a piece of salted fish, and walked out of the yard while eating.
There wasn't much rain in the morning, but the wind was a bit strong.
Zhao Dahai stood at the door of the yard and looked down at the pier. There were no waves. Looking further out, there were white-headed waves on the sea, one on top of another. They were not too big, but white-headed waves were just white-headed waves.
.
I got up at around four o'clock in the morning and went back to sleep. Now that I can see clearly during the day, I really can't go out to sea. If the weather is good, I will definitely go fishing for rock bream today, but now I can't. That's how it is when going out to sea.
, when the weather is good, you can't find any fish, but once you find the fish, the weather suddenly changes, and you can't go out to the sea, so you can only stay at home, waiting for the weather to be good, and the fish don't know where to go.
Zhao Dahai was a little helpless and had no other options. After finishing breakfast in a few minutes, he went back to the yard and started to collect the fish he caught, and later went to Liu Gang's to sell them.
Zhao Dahai opened the refrigerator and took out the black sea bream and yellow chickens he had caught these past few days and weighed them. They were not much. They only weighed about twenty kilograms together. The key was that they were not big.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while, put the black sea bream and yellow chicken back in the refrigerator, and decided not to sell them. Now during the fishing moratorium, there were not enough fish, shrimps and crabs, so he could give some to his second grandfather, Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu, later.
Zhao Dahai filled the large water tank on the tricycle with sea water, fished out the stone snapper, put it in, turned on the oxygen machine, and immediately went out to the town.
Hongyun Restaurant.
Liu Gang got up early in the morning and stood at the door collecting fish.
“The black sea bream is too small!”
"I can't help it. Isn't the weather bad these days? I can only fish so much for three days!"
…
"How can I sell this little yellow sea bream? Can you send me some more!?"
…
"If there are no fish, can we dig up some snails?"
…
Liu Gang collected fish, shrimps and crabs for an hour. The more he collected, the more disappointed he became. The impact of the fishing moratorium was too great, and the quantity and quality dropped significantly. There were no good products.
I need some chilled food, otherwise I won't be able to hold on.
Liu Gang gritted his teeth and started selling chilled fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow. Fortunately, his competitors across the street didn't receive any fresh fish, shrimps and crabs, otherwise he would have had a huge headache.
"Boss Liu."
"What are you doing in a daze?"
Liu Gang looked back and saw Ding Xiaoxiang coming on a tricycle. She was only three to five meters away from him. He went over immediately. The number of fish, shrimps and crabs delivered today was slightly more, almost a hundred pounds. He was very happy that it could be like this during the fishing moratorium.
The quantity is very good. This is the advantage of ordering fish all year round. There is always a certain quantity.
"Boss Liu."
"Zhao Dahai is here! Maybe there will be something good today!"
Ding Xiaoxiang and Liu Gang had just finished crossing the scale, and when they looked up, they saw Zhao Dahai riding a tricycle coming from the other end of the street.
Liu Gang immediately turned around. As soon as he saw Zhao Dahai's tricycle, he didn't care about Ding Xiaoxiang and ran away.
Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't help but laugh and didn't leave immediately to see how many stone sea bream Zhao Dahai had caught.
"Yo!"
"Stone snapper?"
…
"ha!"
"This is really good stuff!"
…
"They are all about one pound, and some are almost two pounds!"
…
Liu Gang moved the net and caught the stone sea bream in the water tank. The smile on his fat face was extremely bright. Stone sea bream is usually a good fish, not to mention the fishing moratorium.
"Two hundred and sixty yuan a pound!"
Liu Gang made an offer without hesitation.
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Gang to offer such a price. The price of fish, shrimp, and crab during the fishing moratorium will definitely increase, but the fishing moratorium has just begun, so the increase in the price of fish, shrimp, and crab is not particularly obvious.
This is not the first time I have caught stone sea bream. The last time I caught a stone sea bream by accident in an oyster field, it was much bigger than the one I caught now, and it only cost 310 yuan per pound.
What I caught this time were all weighing more than one pound or two pounds. The price was directly quoted at two hundred and sixty yuan. It was quite good and quite high.
"Boss Liu."
"The fishing moratorium has just begun, and if you offer this price, if I catch more stone snapper or other fish, won't I have to make a lot of money?!"
Zhao Dahai joked and nodded and agreed to the price offered by Liu Gang.
"ha!"
“As long as there are good fish, price is definitely not an issue!”
Liu Gang immediately pressured the people in the restaurant to come over to fish out the fish and weigh it.
"Two hundred and twelve pounds and seven taels."
"That's two hundred and thirteen pounds."
"The total is fifty-five thousand three hundred and eighty yuan."
Liu Gang immediately settled the account, walked into the restaurant, and went to the office to get cash.
"The sea!"
"I go first."
"Be careful when you go to sea!"
Ding Xiaoxiang gave a few instructions and rode a tricycle back to the fish market.
Zhao Dahai waited for a moment, and Liu Gang came out with money in his hand.
"The fish aren't very easy to catch these days, are they?"
Liu Gang is very concerned about this matter. If the fish are easy to catch, Zhao Dahai can catch more fish, and other people who go fishing can also catch more fish, and he will have the opportunity to buy more fresh seafood. On the contrary, Zhao Dahai
If you can't catch fish in the sea, let alone those other people.
Zhao Dahai stuffed the money he had counted into his pocket. It was really hard to catch fish these days. The money he earned today was purely due to luck. It was impossible for other people who fished in the open sea to catch so many stone seabream.
Fifty-five thousand three hundred and eighty yuan is indeed a lot of money, but this was a fish caught only the second day after the fishing moratorium began.
The total gas money spent in the past two days has been six to seven thousand yuan.
During the first ten days of the fishing moratorium, I have been running non-stop, trying various fishing spots, and a few different spots. I invested 50,000 yuan, but after all, the cost has not been recovered yet.
Needless to say, you may not necessarily be able to catch fish and make money every day when you go out to sea. The pressure is still very high.
Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang chatted for a while and rode a tricycle home. When they arrived at the village, they divided the unsold black snapper and yellow chicken left over in the morning into five parts. The homes of the second grandfather, Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu, went around in a circle.
When we got down, it was almost noon.
Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle to the pier. At first glance, he saw that there were all neatly parked fishing boats with fishing nets.
Zhao Dahai got on his speedboat, cleaned it up briefly, then got on the wooden fish boat parked next to him, packed it up cleanly, and carried seawater to wash the deck.
Zhao Dahai started the diesel engine and turned it off after running for a while. Both the fishing boat and the machine had to move from time to time to avoid damage.
Zhao Dahai sat on the side of the wooden boat, his feet hanging down, only twenty or thirty centimeters away from the sea.
There was a little wave on the sea, and the fishing boat kept shaking.
Zhao Dahai patted the deck of the fishing boat vigorously. Grandma Zhong Cuihua said that recently, people have been asking if the fishing boat is for sale. It is true that the new speedboat will not be used, but it is absolutely impossible to sell it. It has been newly installed, but this
The main keel of the fishing boat was left behind by my father and mother.
Zhao Dahai had already planned that the fishing boat would be parked here at the pier. It would be cleaned up from time to time and maintained twice or three times a year. It would not be damaged in twenty, thirty, forty or fifty years.
The newly bought speedboat is a tool for making money, and this wooden diesel fishing boat is my dream.
Zhao Dahai sat for a while before leaving the fishing boat, went to the pier and went home. After lunch, he got up and walked out of the yard. He looked at the sea surface in the distance. The density of white-headed waves had dropped significantly. Occasionally,
Only then can you see one or two waves.
Zhao Dahai decided to go fishing at four or five o'clock tomorrow morning.
