Chapter 243 Another daily life in the fishing village
Ding Chongshan opened the door and saw Lin Zuhua, and immediately greeted him to come into the house and sit down on the sofa in the hall.
Ding Xiaoxiang was watching TV. When she saw Lin Zuhua, she immediately called her uncle. She often came to her home when she was young and she 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 noodles or something."
Ding Chongshan left boiling water to make tea.
"What 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!"
"A lot of rocks Snapper! ”
Lin Zuhua was very excited.
"Ah?"
"Stone snapper?"
"Are you talking about the stone snapper in the sea?"
Ding Chongshan was confused and didn't know What does Lin Zuhua mean 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 and boarding the speedboat. I saw a lot of stone snapper in the live cabin.
"They're all one to two pounds. They're not too big, but they can't hold much."
"They're all in the whole living cabin."
"Definitely no less than a hundred pounds. ! ”
Lin Zuhua was dancing.
“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 it was You can book a boat spot to go fishing.
“Yes!”
“That’s Zhao Dahai.”
Lin Zuhua nodded heavily.
Ding Xiaoxiang sat nearby, eating snacks and watching TV. When she heard Zhao Dahai's name, she immediately pricked up her ears.
Stone bream?
Zhao Dahai went out to sea and caught stone sea bream, and was it a stone sea bream that weighed more than 100 kilograms?
Hey!
This 100-jin stone snapper must be able to sell for at least 20,000 yuan.
Make money!
Ding Xiaoxiang has been worried about whether Zhao Dahai can catch fish and make money when he goes to sea all day long.
“Huh?”
“Uncle Lin.”
“What are you talking about, Zhao Dahai caught so many stone seabream? Isn’t that right? Want to make a fortune?”
Ding Xiaoxiang pretended not to recognize Zhao Dahai and looked very surprised.
“Ha!”
“Who says it’s not true? I must have made a fortune!”
“Stone snapper with this head, no matter what, I have to get it. One hundred and fifty sixty yuan per pound, right?”
“It’s the fishing season now, and the prices of fish, shrimp, and crabs are rising.”
"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 a hundred pounds, that’s more than 20,000 yuan. Zhao Dahai’s The fuel cost of that speedboat is estimated to be around four to five thousand yuan a day.”
“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 and looked at the cigarette sitting next to him. Ding Xiaoxiang stuffed it back again.
“Dad.”
"If it's to collect fish, don't look for it."
Ding Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes and immediately shook her head.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on? Why can’t I find Zhao Dahai?”
“The fish I catch must be sold. Well! What’s the difference between selling to me and selling 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, he can't say for sure. Fight with you."
Ding Xiaoxiang smiled, 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 prices were based on large quantities. The collected fish, shrimps and crabs were divided into categories and sold to different people. Liu Gang's The prices offered by the restaurant are 100% higher than mine. If Zhao Dahai had such a channel to sell fish, he would not be able to sell it to himself. If he offered a higher price than Liu Gang, he would not be able to make much money, so there was no need to waste such effort.
“Ding Chongshan.”
"Why did you get the key point wrong? Don't always commit occupational diseases."
"I'm talking about asking Zhao Dahai to go fishing at sea."
"Didn't you say that in the morning? Isn’t it possible to catch fish in this weather? This Zhao Dahai is not only catching fish, but also valuable fish.”
“Zhao Dahai is really good”
Lin Zuhua doesn’t care at all. Business matters.
Ding Chongshan nodded, Zhao Dahai was really powerful, and he immediately asked if the ship's position had been confirmed.
Lin Zuhua sighed. Zhao Dahai has no plans to take people out to sea for fishing now, saying that the fish situation is unstable. In addition, the speedboat he just bought is not very familiar with the fishing spots and fishing positions. Fishing will be suspended for at least two months. I didn't think about taking people out for fishing until the end of the term, so I left my business card.
Ding Chongshan is not surprised. Zhao Dahai's speedboat will definitely take people out to go fishing, but the main purpose is not to take people out to go fishing 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 go fishing, as long as someone comes, they will immediately agree. They don’t consider whether the fish situation is stable or not, whether they can catch fish or not.
Ding Xiaoxiang returned to her room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and then spit it out.
Zhao Dahai caught fish!
Make money!
Ding Xiaoxiang held her little fist and waved it hard.
It is 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, wondering 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 have seen 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.”< br>
“I originally thought about contacting Zhao Dahai to see if I could collect fish from his hands.” “If it looks like this, there is no chance.”
Ding Chongshan didn’t think much about it. He had to go to bed and rest since it was late, and he would continue to buy fish, shrimps and crabs tomorrow.
Early morning.
Zhao Dahai woke up around six o'clock, took a large bowl of freshly cooked porridge, added a piece of salted fish, and walked out of the yard while eating.
It didn’t rain much 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 a white-headed wave was a white-headed wave. .
I got up at about four o'clock in the morning for a trip. The weather was not good, so I went back to sleep. Now I can see clearly during the day and I really can't go to sea. If the weather is nice, I will definitely go fishing for rock bream today, but I can’t do that now. It's like this when going to sea. When the weather is good, you can't find any fish. Once you find fish, the weather suddenly changes. If you can't go out to sea, you can only stay at home and wait for the weather to be good. 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 chicken that he had been fishing for the 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 are few fish, shrimps and crabs, so he can 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 catch so much for three days!”
< br>
...
"How can I sell this little yellow sea bream? Can you send more!?"
...
"If there are no fish, can I dig some snails? Come?”
……
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?”
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 just finished weighing, and when they looked up they saw Zhao Dahai came over from the other end of the street on a tricycle.
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 snappers Zhao Dahai had caught.
“Yo!”
“Stone snapper?”
…
“Ha!”
"This is really good stuff!"
......
"They are all about one pound, and some are almost two kilograms!"
......
Liu Gang took out the net and fished out the stone snapper in the water tank, with a bright smile on his fat face. Stone snapper is always a good fish, let alone during the closed fishing season.
"Two hundred and sixty yuan per pound!"
Liu Gang made the price without hesitation.
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Liu Gang to offer such a price. The price of fish, shrimp and crab will definitely rise during the fishing moratorium, but the fishing moratorium has just begun, so the price increase of fish, shrimp and crab is not particularly obvious.
This is not the first time I have caught stone sea bream. Last time I accidentally caught a stone sea bream in an oyster field. It was much bigger than what I am catching now, and it only cost 310 yuan per catty.
What I caught this time were all weighing more than one pound or two pounds. Just ask for two hundred and sixty yuan. Quite good, quite high.
"Boss Liu."
"The fishing moratorium has just begun. If you offer this price, if I catch more stone snapper or other fish, wouldn't I have to make a lot of money?" ? ”
Zhao Dahai joked and nodded to the price offered by Liu Gang.
“Ha!”
“As long as there are good fish, price is definitely not a problem!”
Liu Gang immediately asked the people in the restaurant to come over to fish out the fish and weigh it.
“Two hundred and twelve catties and seven taels.”
“That’s two hundred and thirteen catties.”
“The total is fifty-five thousand three hundred and eighty. "
Liu Gang immediately settled the account and walked into the restaurant to get cash from the office.
"The sea!"
"I'm leaving first."
"Be careful when you go out to sea!"
Ding Xiaoxiang warned a few words and rode a tricycle to drive back to the fish. market.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while, and Liu Gang walked out with money in his hand.
"The recent fish are not very easy to catch, 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 it. With more fish, you will have the opportunity to purchase more fresh seafood. On the contrary, if Zhao Dahai couldn't catch any fish, let alone those other people.
Zhao Dahai stuffed the money into his pocket. It was really hard to catch fish these days. The money I made today is just luck. Others who go offshore fishing would not be able to catch so many stone snappers.
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, visiting various fishing spots, and a few different spots. I invested 50,000 yuan. After all, the cost has not been recovered yet.
Needless to say, you may not necessarily be able to make money just by catching fish 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, the unsold black sea bream and yellow chicken left over from the morning were divided into five parts. The second grandfather, Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu, At home, after going around in a circle, it was already almost twelve o'clock at 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 breakage.
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 people have been asking whether the fishing boat is for sale recently. It’s true that I won’t be able to use the new speedboat I bought, but it’s absolutely impossible to sell it. New things have been installed, but the main keel of this fishing boat was left behind by my parents.
Zhao Dahai has already planned that this fishing boat will be parked here at the pier. It will be cleaned up from time to time and maintained twice or three times a year. It will not break down in twenty, thirty, forty or fifty years.
The newly bought speedboat is a tool for making money, and this wooden diesel fishing boat is what I want.
Zhao Dahai sat for a long time before leaving the fishing boat, went to the pier and went home. After lunch and a nap, 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 already increased. It drops significantly, and occasionally one or two waves can be seen.
Zhao Dahai decided to go fishing at four or five o'clock tomorrow morning.
