Chapter 163 Selling Fish
A few people stayed by the river for half their pay, and Ding Yi finally finished his addiction.
"Auntie, Zhang An, Fatty and I will go back first. We will come back tomorrow."
Back home, Ding Yi and the other two greeted Wang Fang and Zhang An. Then he returned to the county.
Zhang An didn’t keep them either. Anyway, it’s very convenient to go back and forth from the county, and they will come back tomorrow.
Bringing the red carp home, there was no glass fish tank at home, so Zhang An built a large sand tank to raise it.
“What are you doing bringing a big sand jar into the house?”
Wang Fang looked at her son and carried a big sand jar in from the yard.
"I brought in the fish farmer. I just caught a red fish. I'm afraid it will be stolen outside."
This tank had already been washed by Zhang An when it was outside. Clean.
After carrying it in, Zhang An carried several buckets of space spring water and filled the jar half full.
Then put the red carp in the bucket just now.
This red carp seems to be quite knowledgeable. As soon as it entered the water tank, it started swimming without jumping around.
Because carp would jump out of the water, Zhang An did not dare to fill the tank.
“This is the dragon fish.”
Wang Fang looked at the big red carp in the tank. Rural people call red carp the dragon fish.
"Xiao An, why don't you let it go? Dragons and carps cannot be raised."
Wang Fang felt a little panicked when she looked at such a big red carp.
Now she even wants to put some incense on the red carp and offer something as an offering.
They had heard the old man say before that such a big bright red fish was a dragon carp, which would leap over the dragon gate and turn into a golden dragon in the future.
It would be a taboo to raise them at home like this.
"Mom, there is no difference between dragon and carp. Its color is caused by genetic mutation."
Zhang An kept explaining to his mother, how could this fish change? Like this.
"Just like some people are born with six fingers on their hands, it is a mutation."
Wang Fang is a traditional thinker of the older generation and is not very capable of such a statement. understand.
Zhang An explained to her for a long time before she understood what was going on.
But Zhang An was thinking about keeping this thing in a space and seeing if it would grow dragon scales.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang An went out and sat at his uncle's house for a while.
After Ding left during the day, he came to see his uncle.
But during the day, my uncle had something to do and he went out and was not at home.
"Anzi is here, come and have something to eat together."
It's better to wash your feet during the Chinese New Year. When I go out, I encounter other people having dinner, which is good luck.
In times of hunger, you would not be hungry.
"Aunt, stop taking it. Our family just finished eating. I came over to talk to my uncle about something."
Seeing the old aunt get up to get the dishes and chopsticks for himself, Zhang An hurriedly went up Said before.
"It's okay. I'll just have some food after eating."
Zhang Ping next to him placed a chair for Zhang An, but the old aunt still put a bowl in front of Zhang An. But I didn’t scoop the rice.
"What do you want to see me for this time?" the old uncle said to Zhang An while eating.
When Zhang Jianwen came back in the evening, he heard from his family that Zhang An was looking for him.
He was still thinking of asking Zhang An what happened after dinner.
Before the meal was finished, Zhang An came to the door.
"It's like this. I have a friend who opened a specialty shop in the city and wanted to come to our village to collect some mountain products."
"I was thinking about the people in our village. All the things are sold to the dealers in Zoushan, and the price offered by my friend is definitely not less than them, so I want the uncle to shout with the loudspeaker."
After Zhang An sat down, he told the uncle. A matter entrusted by Ding Yi.
"Is this Ding Yi the same Ding Yi who came to your house last year?"
The old uncle has not forgotten the group of people who came to the village last year.
At this moment, Zhang An said Ding Yi’s name, and he remembered it.
“Yes, that’s him.”
“This is a good thing, we can also sell more money.”
After finishing the meal, the old uncle started to use the loudspeaker to announce .
The general meaning is that the boss will come to collect things tomorrow and ask everyone to prepare the things they want to sell. Then they can pick them up and take a look.
When we first entered the winter months, those dealers came once.
It has been a few months now, and everyone has accumulated a lot of things.
In previous years, the walking dealers in the city would not come until March in the beginning of spring.
The old man did not say anything about the price on the loudspeaker, but just informed everyone that such a thing would happen tomorrow.
If you have something for sale, you can check it out for yourself.
If you are satisfied with the price, then sell it. If you are not satisfied with the price, just take it back.
Zhang An sat at the old uncle's house for a while and told the old uncle and Zhang Ping about setting up a net to collect fish tomorrow before going to other people's houses to invite people.
Although the fish pond is not big, it still takes several people to pull the trawl net.
Zhang An called his second and third uncles, as well as Zhou Yang and Huang Ming, plus Zhang Ping and his father and son, it was enough.
After calling Teacher Xiao Su at night, Zhang An fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Ding Yi and the others came over early the next morning.
Lu Jun drove a live fish transport truck with his driver, and Ding Yi also drove a small truck by himself.
"Why are you here so early today? It's not even nine o'clock yet."
Now that we have arrived in the village, it proves that Ding Yi and the others started setting off at around six o'clock.
“It’s not that I came early, it’s this guy who kept urging me to come quickly.”
Ding Yi was also a little helpless, and Lu Jun called him out of bed early in the morning.
This guy doesn't care about his employees at all. The driver only arrived in the county last night, and he won't let anyone sleep more today.
"Hey hey hey, I also want to install it early. Let's go back early. If we leave late, we will have to arrive in the middle of the night."
Although Zhang An has seen this live fish transport truck before , but I haven’t seen what it looks like inside.
In response to Zhang An's curiosity, Ding Yi asked the master to open the car door, and Zhang An climbed up to take a look.
This is actually a truck compartment, but it is equipped with sinks, water filling, drainage equipment and water pumps to circulate water.
The most important thing is the oxygenator, which can prevent the fish from lacking oxygen in these tanks.
When the old man saw the truck driving to the door of Zhang An's house, he ran over and took a look.
Ding Yi took out the cigarettes he brought and spread them around for everyone.
It was still early, so Ding Yi went to the drying field with his uncle.
After the old man shouts through the loudspeaker, someone will bring something and ask for the price.
Lu Jun's car was placed in Zhang An's yard, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.
When he got up in the morning, Zhang An started draining the water from the fish pond.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to pull the net in such a deep pond.
Lu Jun and the others had to return to the provincial capital in a hurry, so Zhang An did not waste time.
I immediately called someone and started to enter the water.
Knowing that Zhang An’s family wanted to sell fish from the fish pond, Huang Ming, Zhou Yang and others came over to help pull the net.
One by one, they were all wearing half-length leather trousers and began to launch the trawl net as they watched the fish hauling vehicles arrive.
Although these pants are called leather pants, they are actually made of rubber and are only available in a few stores in the village.
There is only one in Zhang An's house, and the others were borrowed by Zhang Jianguo when he went out last night.
Because Zhang An released the water, now after everyone enters the water, the water is only as deep as everyone’s thighs. But there were too many fish in the fish pond, and the fish were so densely crowded that the trawl net couldn't drag them at all.
Zhang An didn’t know much about the fish in the pond.
In order to avoid the situation where Lu Jun drove over and there were not many fish in it.
So Zhang An also put some in from the space last night.
"Why don't you put some in there first? There are too many fish in this pond."
Zhang Jianguo looked at so many fish. Although the trawl net could not drag them, his face was filled with tears. Laughter blossomed.
This was the first time Zhang An saw his father smiling so happily in front of so many people.
Lu Jun asked someone to take out several large baskets from the car. These plastic baskets were smoother than the bamboo baskets in the village.
Using plastic baskets can reduce damage to the product.
In the end, Fatty Lu got so excited watching it from above that he changed into a pair of leather pants and ran into the water to catch him.
The fish in the pond are very fierce and energetic, especially those that Zhang An just released from space.
It is difficult for everyone to catch it with bare hands, so they can only use a net.
Needless to say Zhang An, everyone knows that when the small fish are put back into the pond, a basket will be caught soon.
Everyone has already divided them up when fishing in the water, so they can be weighed directly when they are brought to the shore.
In the end, there were too many people in the pond, and Zhang An called his father to go ashore to count them.
After weighing the fish, pour it directly into the water tank in the car.
Everyone fished in the water for two or three hours. Zhang An felt that it was almost done. If we fished again, the pond would be finished.
Wang Fang took Zhang An's two aunts to cook in the kitchen.
By the time the fish is weighed, the dishes in the kitchen are already ready.
Before eating, Lu Jun began to settle accounts.
The number he found was exactly the same as Zhang An’s father’s count, which proved that there was no mistake.
After all, this is all money, and brothers still settle accounts, so it is necessary for a couple.
In the end, when the general ledger was calculated, it all added up to more than 20,000 yuan, almost 30,000 yuan.
Of course, eels account for the majority here, and each one is very big.
And although the number of mandarin fish is not large, it is better because of its size.
But Lu Jun didn’t dislike the size of these fish. On the contrary, he was very happy.
The bigger the fine scale fish, mandarin fish, and yellow bone fish grow, the more money he can make.
So this is one of the reasons why Lu Jun was willing to give Zhang An a price.
Looking at Lu Jun counting money to Zhang An, everyone present felt as if they were suspended.
They have always said that Zhang An can make money, but they have never seen how Zhang An makes money.
But today is different. Everyone present saw basket after basket of fish being weighed on the scale with their own eyes.
Several people in the village watched Zhang An make so much money selling fish.
My mind is burning now, thinking about digging up the fields at home and raising fish like Zhang An.
But then he quickly shook his head to get rid of this unrealistic thought.
No matter how much he can afford to eat, he doesn’t have Zhang An’s ability to raise fish.
If you really get mad and do this, I'm afraid even the money at home won't be enough.
“Guigui, it’s the first time I’ve seen fish sold for so much money.”
It’s not like you haven’t seen so much money before. The main reason is that selling fish can be so valuable. No one expected it.
Of the people present in the village, only Zhou Yang knew that the fish just caught was valuable.
"Hahaha, not all fish can be sold for such a high price. If it is grass carp and carp, it may only be sold for a fraction."
After hearing what everyone said, I started to speak. I explained it to everyone.
At this time, everyone realized that Zhang Any was not raising ordinary grass carp and carp.
After finishing his work, Lu Jun was in a hurry to go back, so Zhang An called everyone to come to the table and start the feast.
On the table today, Wang Fang cooked a real fish feast, with no other dishes at all.
It’s all the fish we just caught, making a table full of them.
Everyone looked at such expensive fish and now wanted to eat two more chopsticks.
After finishing the meal, Lu Jun did not stay long.
After saying hello to Ding Yi and Zhang An, he drove back to the provincial capital with his master.
And Ding Yi’s harvest stall is also very popular.
Because the price Ding Yi gave was almost twice that of the dealer, and he didn't even lower the price.
So after the people in the village saw it, they sold all the stock at home that they kept for themselves.
If you can sell it at a high price, what else can you eat?
So while eating, the two employees he brought from the supermarket were still busy collecting and paying for the goods.
"It seems like you got a good harvest today. You drove the small truck correctly."
If Ding Yi drove another car today, he might not be able to fit it in.
Most of these mountain products are dry goods, mushrooms and the like.
It looks like a big bag, but it doesn’t really weigh much.
"Come on, come on, let me show you something."
Ding Yi picked up a bag of things from the cab and showed it to Zhang An.
This guy actually received morels and Hericium mushrooms in the village.
Zhang An himself has never encountered one in the mountains, which is good luck.
“Hey, I don’t plan to sell this stuff, I’ll keep it for myself to eat at home.”
I have been receiving goods from Ding Yi since I came here in the morning at around two o’clock in the afternoon. That's the end.
Finally, Ding Yi told everyone that next time you have something, don’t rush to sell it to others. He will come to collect it next month.
Everyone was very happy and told Ding Yi to remember to come, and he would definitely stay and wait for him.
After several maids in the village sold their things, they also gave Ding Yi some nuts, mostly walnuts and pine nuts.
“By the way, how many of the small walnuts we ate yesterday do you still have at home?”
Ding Yi opened several walnuts given to him by the maids in the village and found that It looks pretty good.
But compared with those walnuts from Zhang An’s family, they are still a little inferior.
“Don’t be tempted by my walnuts. I can give you a few kilograms of them if you like them. I don’t have much left at home.”
This man is addicted to harvesting. The idea came to Zhang An's spiced walnuts.
Zhang An did plant a lot in his space, but Zhang An didn’t take out many.
"Okay, you can pack some for me later and I will take it back, but people in the city are not so lucky and cannot eat such delicious walnuts."
After sending Ding Yi away, Zhang An had time to relax.
Follow my father to the river and wash the trawl net and leather pants that were put into the pond in the morning.
After it is dried, it can be returned to others.
"Anzi, why don't our family buy a Zhang Da trawl net?"
While the father and son were cleaning the net in the river, Zhang Jianguo discussed it with Zhang An.
He felt that since he had a fish pond at home, he would spend more time using the net later, so it would be more appropriate to prepare one at home.
Otherwise, every time you use it, you have to go to someone else’s house to borrow it.
Once or twice, people are happy to lend you money, but if the number of times increases, they feel unhappy.
"Then buy it. It will be convenient when you need it at home."
