Chapter 11 The chicken is beaten and the egg is beaten


Chapter 11 Jifeidan beats

Back home, one rides a bicycle and the other pushes a cart.

It takes several trips to transport all the clams home.

The spacious yard is full.

The sun is shining high now, and it is already 10 o'clock.

Fortunately, I went out with a pot of porridge in the morning, otherwise I would have been too hungry to walk.

The people in the village came around with envy, "Where did you go? You were able to pick up so many clams. I thought I was so lucky that I was so proud that I picked up 100 kilograms!"

After all, there are many people rushing to sea, and they are not willing to go far. When there are many monks and little meat, it is good to pick up 100 kilograms.

As a result, there is no harm if there is no comparison. They were able to pick up so many. Looking at this trend, they must have weighed at least 3,000 kilograms! This spacious yard is full.

Tan's father smiled and said, "It's been a long time since there has been such a big storm. I thought there would be goods, so I ran to the beach to pick them up. There were fewer people there, so I picked up more."< br>


"The whole family is at home and can't go to sea. We must find a way to get some goods. Although it takes a lot of effort, it is not in vain."

Neighbors: "..." There is no use in envy. Who told me to be too lazy to walk for an hour?

Looking at how wet they all were, it took a lot of effort to transport them back. If the men at home don’t follow, they have to rely on women, which is really embarrassing.

It’s really rare to see such a united family, with all the men involved!

I just blame my man for not being diligent enough, what else can I say?

Seeing others busy, it was not easy to disturb them, so I had no choice but to leave.

Tan Shaoyang watched the crowd disperse and asked his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, "Do you want to sell me raw ones or dry ones?"

"The market price, raw ones is 5 The price is 30 cents per catty, and the dried clams are 3 cents per catty.”

According to today’s size, 100 jins of raw clams can be at least 30 jins dried. The dried ones are definitely more profitable than the raw ones.

I usually pick up very little, and I am too lazy to waste time drying it, so I simply weigh it and clean my hands and feet without wasting effort.

But today was different. There was a lot of seafood pushed up, and they could pick up hundreds of kilograms in an hour. Tan Shaoyang, a non-working person, picked up 400 kilograms.

Tan Shaonan weighs at least a thousand pounds.

Tan Shaobei can also weigh 700 pounds.

As for Yu Tan's father, there was a delay in transporting the goods, which was also six to seven hundred kilograms.

No matter what happens, there is no need to separate the family so clearly.

Anyway, Tan Shaoyang has made up his mind that these must be dried into clams and then sold.

Tan Shaobei waved his hand. He didn't want to bother anymore. He was so tired that he could hardly straighten his waist. His wife took a shower and went back to her room to sleep. She was also very tired.

This thing needs to be dried in the sun. No one will bother him, so he won't worry about the price difference.

"Third brother, let's call it a title! You can do whatever you like."

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "I'll wait for a few days to sell the money and then I'll give it to you!"< br>


The family naturally doesn't care.

It was less than 700 kilograms, so Tan Shaoyang scraped it together and made 35 yuan, and directly kept him in a small notebook to keep count.

Don’t underestimate the 35 yuan at this time. For those who lived by the sea, and a pound of pork cost 90 cents, this amount of money was considered huge.

Tan Shaobei went back to his room to sleep after knowing the amount. He only earned forty or fifty yuan a year by going to sea. He smiled so hard that his teeth fell out.

Tan Shaonan weighed a thousand pounds, but he planned to dry them and sell them. He washed the clams, soaked them in water and spit out the sand. After two hours of sleep, he cooked them in a pot, then removed the shells and dried them in the sun.

Tan's father didn't bother anymore. The third brother would get the advantage anyway, so he simply sold it.

Tan Shaoyang also counted 32 yuan.

Together with what I had planned, the amount was nearly two thousand kilograms, which was a big project. But Tan Shaoyang was protected by someone, and Grandma Tan was biased towards him. Even if she helped him, she could still be busy. . After sleeping for a few hours, I was busy until most of the night.

You can sell the clams by drying them in the sun for two or three days.

Young people have plenty of strength, so it doesn't matter if they sleep a little less. They just carry it through like this and finish it all.

Anyway, it’s only once or twice a year, so I’m tired.

At this time, the fishmonger, who knew about their big move, planned to punish them.

Anyway, in their small fishing village, he is the only one collecting fish. If not to him, who can it be sold to?

When the time comes, you have to come up and beg him obediently!

There were only two girls in his family. The boss came to recruit someone, and the mute girl was introduced to Tan Shaoyang by the matchmaker. Who knew that she would be so humiliated that she could only settle for marrying someone from the same village.

He did not blame the matchmaker for this matter. Instead, he complained about Tan Shaoyang and put all the responsibilities on him. Not only him, but also the Tan family held a grudge.

Even when receiving the goods earlier, the Tan family was separated, and they had to be taught a long lesson, otherwise they would lose their memory and not be able to tell who could be offended and who could not be offended.

Tan Shaoyang will not care about him. He has already found a way out. When he sells the dried clams and saves enough money, he will collect all the fish from the small fishing village, leaving him, a person from another village, with no chance of survival. Chance.

I don’t know who will be anxious then!

Let people have fun for two days, and then some of them will cry.

Anyway, he didn’t intend to let this family play around in the small fishing village, otherwise they would disgust him every now and then and affect his wonderful life.

The fishmonger waited and waited. When there was still no movement on the fourth day, he became a little anxious.

Why didn’t you come to ask him for help?

At this time, Tan Shaoyang, whom he had been thinking about deeply, was transporting 800 kilograms of dried clams and selling them to the boss who had agreed early on.

The price was negotiated early in the morning, 4 cents per catty.

I made a total of 320 yuan.

He found that this business can be done. Don’t underestimate the price difference of this dime. It counts when the quantity is large.

No wonder the fishmonger is willing to get up early and work in the dark to come to the small fishing village to collect the goods. Who wouldn’t want to take the free money?

Having money in your pocket is enough to give you confidence.

The busy days have paid off.

I bought a small bag of fruits and candies. Not only children are greedy, but adults are also greedy. If possible, they must be rewarded.

As soon as he returned to the entrance of the village, he saw the fishmonger staring at him angrily. He was obviously waiting here. Otherwise, he was usually in the direction of the pier, how could he come here?

Tan Shaoyang was in a good mood and didn't want to talk to him. He just wanted to go back and fry a plate of dried clams and have a few sips of wine. This little day was wonderful.

Tan Shaoyang ignored it, but was stopped by the fishmonger.

"You don't plan to sell so many dried clams at home. How can you eat so much yourself?"

Although he wanted to teach others a lesson, he never thought about not accepting the goods. There are so many dried clams that will be lost as soon as they change hands. If you can make a fortune, you would be foolish not to take it.

I waited and waited, but no one came, so I became anxious.

He had heard that his family had picked up at least 3,000 kilograms of clams. No matter how much they shrank when dried, they were still worth 700 to 800 kilograms. They could make dozens of yuan by changing hands, which was a great pleasure.

Tan Shaoyang glanced at him and said in an innocent tone, "Don't you want to accept my stuff? I'll put some effort into selling it myself."

"Anyway, the price is the same, so where can I sell it? It's just a matter of running errands."
