Chapter 36 This is so cunning! ?
Zhao Dahai pricked up his ears and chatted with Ding Xiaoxiang, but his attention was always on Liu Gang and Chen Weiguo, listening carefully to every word.
Forty-one pounds won’t be sold?
Zhao Dahai felt happy. Even the worst bag of jumping fish he caught was better in size and quality than the ones in Chen Weiguo’s bucket. He originally thought he could sell them for thirty One kilogram is already pretty good, but now it seems that it may be sold for fifty or sixty, especially the bigger ones, especially the pink minnows. The price will definitely exceed the eighty-one kilograms I estimated.
“Sixty-one pounds.”
"I won't sell it for less than this price!"
Chen Weiguo opened his mouth and quoted the price.
“Huh?”
“Sixty-one pounds?”
“Where did you get this price?”
"You might as well go grab it!"
"Take it to the fish market and sell it! At this price, someone wants me to eat it alive for you to see!"
The kitten that Liu Gang stepped on its tail They all jumped up and pointed at Chen Weiguo, his face flushed with anger.
“Hey hey hey!”
“I’ll sell it here!”
"Fifty yuan a pound. Boss Liu, do you want it?"
As he spoke, Chen Weiguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one and handed it to Liu Gang.
When Zhao Dahai heard this, he almost laughed out loud. The jumping fish is small and doesn't have much meat. People in the seaside fishing villages don't eat it very much. If you have the money, it's better to buy some bigger fish, such as black snapper, yellow fin, etc. In addition, most people don't have the skills to cook this fish well. . Only naughty people will eat it, or only rich people will eat it. You can’t get it at this price in the fish market. Thirty yuan is a lot of money and you may not be able to sell it. Chen Weiguo dared to shout out the high price because he was confident that Liu Gang would buy it. This was exactly the same as when he was selling blue crabs a few days ago.
Liu Gang took out the cigarette and lit it for Chen Weiguo first and then for himself.
“Hmph!”
"Smoking this cigarette of yours will cost me dozens of dollars more."
"Fifty one catty? Don't even think about that price! I would rather not make money than accept you! I can't swallow this breath. .”
“Forty-five pounds!”
“I’ll take it if you don’t sell it!”
Liu Gang puffed out his smoke and paid back the price.
Chen Weiguo thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Liu Gang negotiated the price, immediately put it in a mesh bag, drained it and weighed it. It was less than two kilograms, only one kilogram and nine taels. He sighed in his heart. The red squid was so popular, and only half a kilogram was enough for one portion. Selling it for two hundred yuan is very profitable. Unfortunately, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Catching this thing is too tiring, and not many people in the nearby fishing villages are willing.
Forty-five pounds?
This is a good thing!
The worst bag in my bucket can sell for fifty-five pounds!
This is much better than I expected.
Zhao Dahai was secretly happy. He was right in not rushing to sell just now. He didn’t understand the market. If he really rushed to sell, he would definitely sell it for 40 yuan a pound.
Liu Gang calculated the money and handed it to Chen Weiguo. When he raised his head, Zhao Dahai looked at him with a smile.
What's going on?
Such an expression?
Liu Gang felt that something was not right, so he thought about it for a while. He was confused and had no clue, so he could only ignore it for now. Many people were waiting for him to receive the goods. After working for almost an hour, only Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were left.
“Ding Xiaoxiang.”
“Your mother called me. The price has been agreed upon. Let’s just weigh it and calculate the money.”
Liu Gang pointed to the restaurant The tricycle parked at the door.
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. My mother told me this before I came here. I just need to deliver the goods myself and watch the scale to see how many pounds it is.
"Boss Zhao."
"What's in your bucket?"
"Is it blue crabs? You're really good at it. No one can catch blue crabs like you. But we You have to say it first, the price today is not the same as in the past few days!"
Liu Gang walked up to Zhao Dahai and took out his cigarette as he spoke.
Zhao Dahai shook his head, he didn’t smoke.
"Boss Liu." "How can it be a blue crab?"
"This thing is not a small fish, crab or mud snail that costs a few yuan a pound, you can just pick it up. . I don’t even have the ones you want from the past few days. If you want them, you have to wait until next year!”
Zhao Dahai is not kidding. Are there blue crabs in the mangroves? There are many of them, but they are all in the depths. There is only one interval between low and high tides, so they cannot run far and cannot be caught.
Not a blue crab?
The blue crabs that Zhao Dahai sent over a few days ago are all good products. Not to mention the pickled crabs, the cream crabs are very rare. Butter crab costs 800 yuan, but it is sold on the table in a restaurant for 3,880 yuan.
Liu Gang was a little disappointed, but he knew that Zhao Dahai was right. There was really nothing he could do. The mangroves were so big that there were many green crabs that he couldn't catch.
Zhao Dahai put down the bucket he was carrying, picked up a mesh bag, put it on the ground, and opened the mesh.
Liu Gang looked down and saw that there was a jumping fish in the net bag. He stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times. It was much larger than the one he had just collected from Chen Weiguo.
“Oh!”
"Nice size!"
As soon as Liu Gang said the words, he immediately reacted and complained secretly.
Ding Xiaoxiang stood aside, pursed her lips, and smiled. Liu Gang's face twisted up like a bitter gourd, indicating that something was wrong.
“How much do you want?”
Liu Gang was very helpless and wanted to show off Zhao Dahai so that he could lower the price. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dahai was also smart and said nothing, waiting to see Chen Weiguo jump. How much can the fish be sold for? I am very passive now.
"Fifty-five pounds."
Zhao Dahai had already thought about it and made an offer immediately.
Liu Gang was very single and nodded in agreement. There is no one to blame for this. I can only blame myself for accepting the ones from Chen Weiguo at forty-five per pound. After comparison, Zhao Dahai's was indeed fifty-five per catty. Lower than this price? Zhao Dahai will not sell it even if he is beaten to death.
“A person of this size weighs seventy-five pounds, right?”
……
"This is minnow!"
"One hundred yuan per catty."
"Very reasonable, right?"
......
Zhao Dahai He took out the other two mesh bags from the bucket and opened them while asking a price.
Liu Gang's eyes suddenly widened. besides? And a bigger one? Are there any minnows? I immediately took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a bigger one with a pink minnow.
"The bigger ones weigh one pound and six taels. Fifty-five pounds per pound. A total of eighty-eight yuan."
"The bigger ones weigh eight pounds and seven ounces, seventy-five dollars per pound. Jin, a total of six hundred and fifty-two and a half."
"Five kilograms and six liang of flour minnows, one hundred yuan a kilogram, a total of five hundred and sixty yuan."
"Total up. One thousand three hundred and fifty cents.”
Liu Gang picked them carefully, and every item was lively and lively. He weighed the items and reported the money while calculating the accounts. Who would have thought that what Zhao Dahai was selling today was not blue crabs? If I had known this, I would definitely not have offered Chen Weiguo a price of forty-five cents. Zhao Dahai looks honest and honest, but in reality he is too cunning.
Ding Xiaoxiang wanted to laugh so hard but Liu Gang was right in front of her. It was too rude to laugh out loud, and her little face was as suffocated as a ripe red apple.
“Hey!”
“Everyone is like you and would have been rich long ago!”
Liu Gang shook his head and handed the money to Zhao Dahai.
"Boss Liu."
"What I earn is hard-earned money. You are the one who makes the big money!"
Zhao Dahai took the money and counted it carefully. Did you make money yourself? It is indeed making money. The jumping fish caught these days are sold at a very good price. But this was something I only caught after spending three days crawling around in the mudflats under the scorching sun every day. I'm as tired as a dead dog every day. Liu Gang collected these jumping fish and made five or ten times the money.
Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai carefully. His face and neck were all sunburnt with yellowish to black color, not to mention his hands and feet, which were as black as carbon. The skin was a little wrinkled in some places. This is sunburn. It will be cured later. My skin peeled off, my smile disappeared, and I felt a little sour. I opened my mouth and wanted to say something but couldn't.
