Chapter 50 A good figure always makes money!
“Mom!”
“How can you always look down on others?”
Ding Xiaoxiang curled her lips, originally thinking not to talk back, but she didn’t know why. I heard that Zhao Dahai was a poor boy again, and I couldn't help it.
“Isn’t it?”
"What?"
"My daughter is good-looking, and your father and I can make money, how can you marry a poor boy?"
When Zhang Li heard that Ding Xiaoxiang was protecting Zhao Dahai , even more angry.
When Ding Xiaoxiang saw this, she rolled her eyes a few times and thought of a way.
“Mom!”
"I just looked at it. The mussels on the motorcycle weighed three hundred kilograms. They were all big!"
...
"There was that bucket hanging on the handlebar. I After taking a look, it seems to be an orchid crab. It looks like it weighs twenty or thirty pounds. "It's very early now. Zhao Dahai will definitely go to the sea again one day!" Come down. It will take about 800 kilograms of mussels!”
...
"If you really accept it, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
...
"What a pity!"
"Zhao Dahai I don’t want to sell it at all!”
"Go back home, work harder, peel the meat and dry it into dry goods. This will make more money than selling fresh goods!" It's all facts, I can only stare at them.
Ding Xiaoxiang was secretly proud, but after talking for a while, she shut up obediently. If she was really angry with my mother, she would definitely suffer a loss, so this was enough.
Zhao Dahai parked his motorcycle at the entrance of the yard, untied the rope, and carried two large net bags of mussels on the back seat into the yard, followed by two large baskets.
Zhong Cuihua came out after hearing the sound and was shocked when she saw so many mussels.
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, poured a bowl of water and drank heavily.
“Hey!”
“The sea.”
“This is three to four hundred kilograms, right?”
"Are you planning to cook them all and dry them in the sun?!"
Zhong Cuihua pulled up the mussels that fell on the ground in the yard. They were really big.
Zhao Dahai gave a thumbs up, he was right, this was his plan. If it weighs one hundred and eighty kilograms, it definitely won't take this much effort. There's not much difference between selling fresh goods and drying them. But this time I have to lift about three hundred kilograms, and after a few more trips, I will have to carry seven to eight hundred kilograms or even one thousand kilograms. It's a little harder. You can make more money by drying it in the sun. I am short of money now, so every extra point is worth it. Hard? Don't worry about it at all.
“Grandma.”
“It’s still early.”
"I will continue to go to the sea now, and I estimate that I can make at least three more trips."
"These mussels have to be cooked as soon as possible, and they can be dried well while they are fresh, but you don't have to work so hard, you can You can cook as much as you want."
"That's right."
"I caught twenty or thirty pounds of orchid crabs and sell them in the town now, don't let them die."
Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank the water in one gulp, packed up the basket and mesh bag and put them on the back seat of the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, and immediately rushed to the town. Liu Gang After selling the orchid crabs, he hurried back to the village and went straight to the sea without going home.
Zhong Cuihua walked into the kitchen. There was water in the big iron pot and a small dustpan filled with mussels. It weighed about five kilograms. If it was too heavy, it couldn't be carried. Time after time, an iron pot was filled and the fire started. Open, they all opened their mouths, and they took it out again and again with a small dustpan, spread it out to dry, and immediately started cooking another pot, working non-stop.
The sun begins to set in the west.
Zhao Dahai held a large mesh bag containing more than 100 kilograms of mussels with both hands and placed it on the back seat of the motorcycle. He gasped for air and had already done it three times. Now this is the fourth trip. Every time I rush back as fast as possible to unload, I have to seize the time to get into the sea. When the point is reached, I immediately pick up the mussels with an iron rake, which consumes a lot of physical strength.
Zhao Dahai rested for about ten minutes and regained some strength before riding his motorcycle back to the village. "Is this kid Zhao Dahai crazy?!"
Zhong Shizhu stood up. He had been squatting and pulling mussels with an iron rake for several hours. His waist was a little unbearable.
“It’s great to be young.”
“I don’t feel tired when I work!”
Liu Bin hammered his thigh, and the place where Zhao Dahai raked the mussels was Not far from him and Zhong Shizhu, he could see clearly and his hands and feet were nimble. He could dig two to three hundred kilograms in less than an hour. He and Zhong Shizhu would stop for a while to smoke a cigarette and drink some water. , a few hours later, the mussels in the mesh bag could not hold more than 100 kilograms.
“Hey!”
"What are you talking about?!"
"Could you have a figure like Zhao Dahai when you were young?!"
Lei Dayou laughed. Whether it's in the sea or in the fields, you don't have to work hard. Without a body like this, you can't do it even if you want to. Not to mention anything else, I was holding more than a hundred kilograms of mussels in my hands and placing them on the motorcycle. I had no strength and it was absolutely impossible. I might twist my waist, so I didn’t dare to do it.
“Who said otherwise?!”
“With a body like this, I can support my family even if I work hard.”
Zhong Shizhu nodded. Zhao Dahai, who is over 1.8 meters tall, is as strong as a calf. One person can do the work of several people. This is God's gift of food. There is no room for reasoning about things born in nature.
“Your mussels are relatively small.”
“Two dollars and fifty cents a pound!”
……
“What is this? What’s going on?”
"It's not washed at all, it's all muddy water."
......
"Three yuan and a pound."
"There are a few people collecting it there. Yes? ”
“If you think my price is low, just go there and take a look.”
...
Zhang Li was sharp-tongued and kept talking like a machine gun. People kept picking up mussels ashore. It was the prime time for business, and more and more mussels were collected.
Ding Xiaoxiang helped and negotiated the price, but the process, including settling the accounts and counting the money and paying, was extremely busy.
The sun sets.
The sea breeze blew over, bringing with it the scorching heat of the sun all day long.
Ding Xiaoxiang took the water glass and handed it to Zhang Li.
Zhang Li drank gulps of water and worked hard for almost three hours without stopping at all. Not to mention drinking water, she didn't even have time to take a breath.
“We harvested a lot this year!”
Zhang Li was very happy. The mussels on the tarpaulin were like a hill.
“Can there not be too many?”
"There must be six or seven thousand kilograms here."
"I have already pulled a cart back. It is estimated that the total weight is almost ten thousand kilograms."
Ding Xiaoxiang took her own water glass and sipped He drank water in small sips, his face flushed with sweat beads popping out one by one.
“Do you know why?”
“We came early this year and occupied a good spot. No matter who comes up from the sea, they have to pass in front of us. There are more than others. Opportunity.”
Zhang Li was very proud. Today, I am not the only one who comes here to buy mussels. There are more than ten companies in total. The price I offer is no higher than others. Sometimes it is even lower than others. I get more than others. It is just to occupy the advantageous location. Others It seems that there is a slight difference between my stall and others, but the business is completely different.
“Hey!”
“Did you listen to what I said?”
Zhang Li talked for a long time but did not respond. She looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and found that she was staring at him. Looking forward with squinted eyes, he turned around and saw Zhao Dahai.
