Zhao Dahai returned to the village and pushed his motorcycle into the yard. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice. It was not early, almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and he started eating immediately.
While eating, Zhao Dahai said that mussels cost 75 yuan per catty, and they sold a total of more than 7,300 yuan.
Zhong Cuihua's chopsticks shook several times, thinking that it would be very good to sell it for fifty yuan per catty, but she didn't expect that it sold for seventy-five yuan, which was twenty-five yuan more per catty.
"Hey!"
"This is so profitable!"
"It's a pity that there will definitely be a lot of motorcycles entering the sea during the next low tide."
"The sea."
"You have to be secretive and don't let others know."
Zhong Cuihua felt very sorry.
"Ha!"
"Grandma."
"Next time, don't talk about motorcycles, tricycles or something will definitely be indispensable."
Zhao Dahai was happy when he heard this. The sea is not a vegetable patch in his own backyard. It is very open. People from the entire Langtou Village and other surrounding villages go to the sea, so there is no way to sneak around. In addition, it is really incredible that these mussels can be sold for so much money.
It's a bit of a coincidence. I didn't happen to meet Wu Weimin, but if I sold it in the Dry Goods Street, it would only cost three to four thousand yuan, not five thousand yuan. Liu Gang's would be a little more, but not much more.
Zhao Dahai thought of the blood eels and asked Zhong Cuihua carefully where there were the most blood eels.
Zhong Cuihua immediately shook her head. Blood eels can indeed be sold at a high price, but it is too labor-intensive and labor-intensive. It is not cost-effective. No one is willing to dig this thing.
Qi Dahai knew that this was the truth. This was really not a job that ordinary people could do. If it weren't for the fact that the price offered by Liu Gang was really very high, he wouldn't have even thought about it. He had inquired about the place and put it aside before deciding whether to dig.
Dead of night.
Zhao Dahai stayed in his room, settling accounts with a piece of paper and a pen in his hands.
Crab tiger fish five hundred and ninety-one dollars and a dime.
Blue crabs are 2,803 yuan.
Jumping Fish costs 1,000 yuan and 50 cents.
Red Spot and Shi Jiugong cost 3,700 yuan and 40 cents.
Orchid crab 1,632 yuan.
Dried mussels, which were about 100 kilograms, made the most money, selling for 7,357 yuan and 50 cents.
It cost 700 yuan to buy a motorcycle, plus some other daily expenses, the total cost was almost 1,000 yuan.
Zhao Dahai calculated carefully several times and found that the money on hand would not exceed 16,000 yuan.
"Where can I get more money?"
Zhao Dahai frowned. Second Master Zhao Shi had long said that it would cost at least 20,000 yuan to repair the fishing boat left by his father and mother. During this period, he worked very hard and unknowingly earned more than 10,000 yuan.
Six thousand yuan, but you still have to earn another four thousand yuan.
Is it difficult to earn four thousand yuan? If we dig another thousand kilograms of mussels, there will be many problems that can be solved immediately. However, the low tide only comes once or twice a year. Even if the tide is low tomorrow, the village and other surrounding areas will
A bunch of people from the village went to the sea, and it would be a dream to pull back a thousand kilograms by yourself. This is actually a one-shot deal. For Red Spot, another one weighing four or five kilograms can also be sold for four to five thousand yuan. However, God or the Sea Dragon King has another
If it were not for my ancestors, how could good things happen to me every day?
Blue crab?
Crab and tiger fish?
Jumping fish?
You can make some money, but if you take away all the easy things, there are not many left around. If you want to make four thousand yuan, you can only make more by accumulating less, which can take as little as two or three months.
It will take four to five months.
Zhao Dahai was a little irritable. He stood up and walked out of the room, out of the yard, stood at the door of his house, and looked down towards the sea.
On the dark sea, dots of light are scattered everywhere, some moving faster and some moving slower. These are all fishing boats, casting nets on the sea to catch fish.
Zhao Dahai is very envious.
"Fishing boats are the way to go!"
"It must be repaired soon!"
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and made up his mind to seize the time to repair the fishing boat. Whether it is a reef area or a mangrove or other places around the village, people have been coming and going for hundreds of years. It is not a problem to get food for one or two meals. It is very easy.
And it’s simple, it’s really difficult to make money. I’m already very lucky, but I can’t always be so lucky. If a fishing village wants to make money, especially if it wants to make money continuously, it must have a fishing boat.
Only by being able to go to sea can you travel farther and have more possibilities to make money. Without a fishing boat, you have no legs and you can't do anything.
Zhao Dahai turned back to the yard and found two hoes. One was wider and the other was narrower. He chose the narrower one and checked carefully. The hoe handle and hoe iron were very tight and not loose. Something was wrong.
I was so relieved that I carried it to the vegetable patch behind the house and tried it a few times, and it worked very well.
Zhao Dahai returned to the yard with a hoe, and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua stood at the door of the hall and looked at him.
"Digging for blood eels tomorrow?"
Zhong Cuihua asked, holding on to the doorframe.
"The prices offered by Boss Liu Gang and Liu of Hongyun Restaurant in this town are very good. I want to dig a little and make more money."
Zhao Dahai put down his hoe and found a small bamboo basket with a small opening and a big belly. He cleaned it and put two plastic bags and mesh bags inside. Digging blood eels is indeed quite hard, but who said he was short of money?
"Okay!"
"Then try."
"If you have it, dig it out. If you don't have it, don't force it. Then think of other ways."
Zhong Cuihua didn't stop him this time. Zhao Dahai wanted to make more money and repair the fishing boat sooner, but he was short of money and didn't have many ways to make money, so he had to work harder.
Zhao Dahai was ready to dig up blood eels and went to bed early.
Zhao Dahai didn't get up early and slept until he woke up naturally. He saw that it was almost ten o'clock when he got up. Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice. After eating, he took a rest. At almost twelve o'clock, he picked up a hoe and carried a bamboo basket.
Put on your shoulders, put on your straw hat and go out, striding towards the sea in front of the village.
Zhong Cuihua walked out of the courtyard door, looked at Zhao Dahai's back, and turned back to the house after a while. Who would go out to work at this time unless they were really short of money?
The afternoon sun was very hot, and the ground was scalding hot.
Zhao Dahai wears Jiefang shoes, and the hot air feels like he is stepping on a red-hot iron plate.
The weather was so hot that the village was quiet and no one was there, everyone was hiding inside their homes.
Zhao Dahai walked to the small pier in front of the village. Sweat was dripping down like it was free of charge. He was soaked all over. His hands and feet, including his face and neck, which were not covered by clothes, were as hot as needles from the sun.
Zhao Dahai squinted his eyes and looked at the sea. The sun was shining on it, the wind was blowing, and the waves were swaying. The patches of white light were very dazzling. The sea water had just begun to recede, and it would take an hour or so to recede.
Zhao Dahai walked along the shore to the west end of the village. The place where he could dig for blood eels was a little further west in the mangrove forest. When he was a child, he followed his father to dig in that area. What grandma said last night was
It’s the same place. I plan to try it first and dig it if I can find it before changing the place.
