Chapter 882: Sticky Old Turtle
"By the way, how are you?"
"I can't do it, so I got two, and both of them cost more than a pound. â
"That's not bad, according to more than a pound of thirty-five pounds, two are almost a hundred yuan. â
"Well, almost, let's go, let's send it over first. â
"Good. â
Then the two middle-aged people left, and Dabao had nothing to do anyway, and hurriedly rode a bicycle to follow.
I followed until the two middle-aged people stopped, Dabao also stopped, and looked up, this place is called Caizhou Restaurant.
Of course, Caizhou Restaurant Dabao knows that the most famous restaurant in Caizhou City is a century-old restaurant, and the reason why it is famous here is not only because it is a century-old restaurant, but mainly because the food here is relatively expensive.
When you come to Caizhou Restaurant to eat, you can spend two or three hundred yuan casually to play, and there are not many people, more than six people, it is estimated that a month's salary is not enough.
If you are in DìDū, it is said that the salary for a month of eating in a restaurant is still like that, but this is Caizhou City, a county-level city.
Moreover, Caizhou restaurants do not even have stars, and those three-star hotels in Dì Dū are estimated to have this price, and if you want to exceed this price, it is estimated that you have to go to a four-star or five-star hotel.
"You look at the point, I'll call someone. â
"Hmm! â
A middle-aged man entered the Caizhou restaurant and soon came out of it again, but he was followed by a young man in his thirties.
"Open it and let me see. â
A middle-aged man opened the bag, and the young man glanced at it and said, "This is thirty-five pounds." â
"Okay. â
Then another middle-aged man opened the bag, and the young man glanced at it and said, "The big one is one hundred and one catties, and the other one is also thirty-five pounds." â
"Hey!"
"Wait, how can there be a dead one?" said the young man, and put his hand in, and quickly took it out again.
However, he has an old turtle in his hand, which is a group fish in the words of Caizhou City.
"Ahh
This is what he caught in the river, of course he knows if he is dead, and he was still alive and well when he put it in, but now he is dead.
You must know that the old turtle is worthless when it dies, and the most important thing is that the dead Caizhou restaurant doesn't accept it at all, and doesn't even want to give it for nothing.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man felt distressed! This old turtle weighs about a pound, and if it doesn't die, it can be sold for fifty yuan.
Now, I can only buy it in other restaurants in the future, and it will only sell for ten yuan at most.
These people who catch old turtles are very strange, they never eat themselves, of course, they are not willing to eat, even if they are only dead.
Because even if it is a dead one, it can be sold for ten yuan, and ten yuan to buy meat is enough for a family to eat for a day, and an old turtle of more than one pound is not enough for one person to eat.
Best of all, there's no meat at all.
And Dabao had already left at this time, and he left after he knew what it was, and Dabao had heard others say that someone was sticking to the turtle in the river.
I didn't expect him to see it with his own eyes today, it doesn't matter if it's sticky or not, what matters is the price of this thing.
Dabao didn't expect that an old turtle would sell for so much money, knowing that the island where their family lives is full of this thing.
Because the waters around their island also belong to their home, there is no one fishing there or anything.
The ecological environment of that area is particularly good, and the turtles often climb to the island, and if you walk around the lake at night, you may be able to step on a few.
So Dabao has already thought about it, he will also catch the old turtle, but not on their island, but in the river.
In order to hold the ecological environment of Bay Island, when their family moved here three years ago, my father asked people to build a river dam in the island lake and the estuary.
Not only that, the dam is also a hydroelectric power station, and the dam generates enough electricity for the entire island.
This is talking about the whole island, not just Dabao's house, you must know that there are many places on the island that use electricity.
It's a pity that it can't be connected to the grid now, otherwise the electricity link here will be connected to the national grid and receive a lot of money every year.
Anyway, the ecology of the island lake will not enter the Honghe River.
After several years, the fish and various birds on this side of the island lake can be said to have been well protected.
Of course, it is impossible for Dabao to catch old turtles on the island lake, there are so many old turtles in the Honghe River, why catch them at your own doorstep!
Moreover, the Honghe River is a terra nullius, as long as it is the people along the Honghe River, anyone can go to the Honghe River to catch fish, touch shrimp, and catch screws.
But before that, Dabao needs some to, of course, sticky nets, there are nets that specialize in selling sticky fish and sticky turtles.
And this thing is not cheap, especially the net of sticky turtles, although this thing looks no different from the net of sticky fish, but the price difference is several times.
You must know that the old turtle has a lot of strength in the water, if you use a sticky fish net, it can't stick at all, and even if it is sticky, it is estimated that the net will be broken.
No matter how expensive it is, there is a price, a ten-meter-long net costs 300 yuan, which can be said to be very expensive.
Ten meters long, one meter and five wide, it costs 300 yuan.
"Boss, can you get cheaper?" Dabao haggled with the boss in a shop that sold sticky nets.
"It's not cheap, it's already very low. â
"What if I want more?"
"How much do you want?"
"Twenty. â
Hearing Dabao say this, the boss thought for a while and said, "If you want twenty, I'll give you two hundred and eighty-one." â
"Isn't it not much cheaper!"
"Young man, this is already a lot, twenty will give you four hundred cheaper, how much money can I make!" said the shopkeeper with a bitter face.
"Okay, oh yes, how long is your longest net here?"
"Fifty meters. â
"How much is fifty meters?"
"One thousand two. â
If you press ten meters and three hundred, fifty meters should be one thousand and a half, and it seems that the longer it is, the cheaper it is.
In fact, the account is not calculated like this, not that the longer the cheaper, but fifty meters is also one, and ten meters is also one, all of which are a process, but they are just a little longer.
It's also because of this that it's cheaper, and it has nothing to do with the longer it gets.
"Boss, how much does it cost me if I want twenty if it's fifty meters?"
"Uh, are you sure?"
"Sure. Dabao nodded.
Don't say that it can be cheap, even if it can't be cheap, twenty is only twenty-four thousand, which is nothing to Dabao.
"If you want a fifty-meter one, I can give you a hundred dollars cheaper each. â
"Okay, that's it!"
Originally, Dabao thought it was not a lot, but when he finished paying and the boss took the goods for him, Dabao was directly dumbfounded.
That's a lot! I guess a tricycle will be needed to pull it.
Fortunately, the boss said that as long as he was in the city, he could deliver the goods, what else did he say, of course he needed to send them, and then Dabao followed the boss to send these sticky nets to the fat man's house.
When Dabao came, there was no one at the fat man's house, and the door was locked.
There is no way, he can't let the family wait here, so he can only ask the boss to unload the sticky net first, and then Dabao will wait here alone.
It wasn't until about six o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Yi came back from outside on his bicycle, and when he saw Dabao waiting at the door, he asked, "Huh", "Why are you here?"
"I want to put these things in your house, but there is no one in your house, so I can only wait. Dabao spread his hands.
"Hahahaha, you're really, why don't you call me?"
Dabao did know the phone number of Zhang Yi's place of work, but how did he make a call.
"These things are here, how do I go to fight. Dabao pointed to the sticky nets on the ground.
"Okay!" Zhang Yi hurriedly tied up the bicycle, and then went to open the door.
"Strange! Why is there no one in your house today?"
You must know that no matter when Dabao came, there would be someone in their family in the past, but today, there is no one.
My parents took him back to the village to go to the grave. â
"Well, not really!"
"Why not, you don't know, the old man likes boys, my brother was admitted to a high school, how could he not go back and tell the old man. â
"Okay! â
Hearing Dabao say this, Zhang Yi blushed, because what Dabao said was right.
The reason why she said just now that she was going back to the grave was just a little better, although she said that she really went back to the grave, but it was more of a show.
When Dad Zhang was young, he came to the city from the countryside alone to work hard, and Dad Zhang was very proud of his current family business.
Let's put it this way, their family can be said to have a better life than some of the old city people.
But he also has a sore spot, that is, his son Zhang Chao, a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, which makes him very faceless.
Every time he returned to the township, people said that his son had been admitted to several high schools, which made Zhang's father feel very uncomfortable.
Because he knew that others were showing off to him, and the reason why this was so was because his son Zhang Chao might not even be able to pass the high school exam.
Now that my son has not only been admitted to high school, but also to a high school, these are not important, the important thing is that he was admitted with excellent grades.
The classes of Caizhou No. 1 High School have zero class, elite version and Tsinghua class.
There are only two in class zero, a total of 80 people, a class of 40, only the top 80 in the city can enter, and the 80 people in class zero are not only free of charge, but also free of tuition and miscellaneous fees.
In addition, there is a scholarship of 1,000 yuan per person per year.
There are eight elite classes, and only the 81st to 400th in the city can enter, of which 81st to 100 can be entered, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are free for three years.
Students from the 101st to the 200th will be exempted from tuition and fees for two years.
201st to 400th students, tuition and fees are waived for one year.
