Chapter 008: Waterways
Zheng Xiulan and Xu Fang walked home, at most a quarter of an hour.
With just such a little effort, I saw the villagers running towards the beach with large basins, buckets and other things.
Zheng Xiulan didn't expect the villagers to be so enthusiastic, and when she saw every family, men, women, and children going out together, she was a little worried: "Xu Fang, more than 100 people have gone to the sea, how many catties do you have to make this day?
Xu Fang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Peace of mind is, it won't be too much." ”
Zheng Xiulan's worries were completely superfluous in Xu Fang's eyes≡ she was okay, and she only picked up forty catties in one afternoon.
And it has been soaking in the water, and the hands have to constantly rub against the sea sand, and even some sharp shells may be pierced into the hands, and everyone will fish for two or three hours a day, per capita, at most ten catties!
Ten pounds...... Well?
There are hundreds of people in the village who go to the sea, not to mention a hundred, and after careful calculation, Xu Fang was also taken aback. It's like ten times a hundred, it's a thousand, right?
A thousand pounds!
Let's not talk about whether Qingyun Hotel can eat it, how to get it out by yourself is a matter≡ my strength is not small, I want to carry this thousand catties, and it is enough to work hard. But if you want to climb nine more mountains, it will be impossible.
Thinking of this, Xu Fang was also a little worried.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xu Fang's instantly ugly face, Zheng Xiulan was a little nervous.
"It's nothing, this scallop is indeed a bit much, it's not easy to resist, even if you use a flat pole, I will pick two or three hundred catties alone, it seems that it will take a few points to sell out." ”
"If you put this scallop at home, it will live for two days at most. Zheng Xiulan said something, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Xu Fang and asked, "Xu Fang, do you know the terrain around the village?"
"You have to understand, there are nine mountains, which one I haven't been to, what's wrong?" Xu Fang asked.
"Then do you know where you can go when you go out?" asked Zheng Xiulan.
Xu Fang's heart jumped suddenly, if he remembered correctly, if he followed the coastline, he could also get out of Jiulong Mountain, and there was a road over there, which led directly to Qingyun City.
As long as you can find a raft, no matter how many scallops there are, it won't be troublesome to get them out.
This woman can even think of taking the waterway, it seems that she has always underestimated her IQ.
If Zheng Xiulan knew Xu Fang's thoughts, it was estimated that she would jump in minutes≡ but she was a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Management of Zhejiang University, and her IQ was very high, okay?
"Is there a boat or raft in the village?" asked Zheng Xiulan.
Xu Fang frowned and thought about it, before he sighed, he remembered that there was a boat in the village six years ago, but the boats were all dilapidated at that time, and now it is estimated that they are all broken.
"This flatbed truck has removed the wheels underneath, so it should be able to float in the sea, right?" Zheng Xiulan looked at the foot of the wall next to the door.
Flatbed trucks are more common in the countryside and consist of a frame and rubber wheels. The frame is made of flat wooden planks, and the whole body is all wood, so it can float in the water. Coupled with the buoyancy of the seawater, Xu Fang estimated that as long as he paid attention to controlling the balance, it would not be difficult to put two boxes of things.
"Hey, your IQ has improved significantly in the past two days?" Xu Fang praised.
"you, when is my sister's IQ not high?" said lightly, and Zheng Xiulan also showed a smile on her face.
She can indeed feel the change in herself in the past two days, first someone came to the family, making her originally empty heart feel less lonely.
And then this guy cooks, he does have a set, and after only two or three days of work, his face, which was yellowed due to malnutrition, has also regained its vitality.
Yesterday, she found a way to lead the village to get rich, and the depression of more than two months was also swept away.
Two hours later, without waiting for the villagers to come back, Xu Fang asked Zheng Xiulan to bring a rod scale and pen and paper, and Xu Fang carried the frame of the board car and came to the beach together.
Not to mention that it's almost time to eat now, this two hours of hunched waist is not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Xiao Fang, what's wrong with this scallop?" Seeing the village chief coming, the sharp-eyed Aunt Zhang asked loudly.
Aunt Zhang's loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and when she saw the gold lord coming, she also beat her waist one by one and came to this side.
"Everyone is tired, right? Weigh it now, everyone comes one by one, the village chief writes down the catties, maybe you will come back late today, everyone will go to my house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to get the money." Xu Fang smiled.
The weighing is relatively simple, and the villagers are also real, put the scallops in the bag, emptied the empty water, and then put the scallops on the scale.
There are many and few families, some adults and children in the family came, and some just came, and the gap was quite large. For example, Aunt Zhang brought her two children and picked up a total of twenty-one catties, and Aunt Jin weighed seven catties and eight taels.
There were a total of seventy or eighty households this time, and in less than twenty minutes, the catties of each family were clearly remembered, and finally Zheng Xiulan counted them, a total of 1,103 catties of scallops.
I threw the frame of the cart into the sea, and sure enough, it floated in the seawater. After the scallops were packed in a sack, three large bags were filled, and all of them were placed on the frame, everyone couldn't help but sweat.
"Xiao Fang, there are so many things, is it okay?" asked Uncle Zhang in front of the village in a hoarse voice.
Xu Fang jumped up and stepped on it, although it was a little swaying, but it should be no problem with his own skills, and smiled: "It's okay, everyone just wait for me to come back." ”
The oars were thrown away for backup, and Xu Fang took the penny that had been prepared in advance, and drove forward with the "board car frame".
Xu Fang is not completely close to the sea, not to mention the reefs, and the waves on the beach are also bigger.
"When you save enough money, buy a small boat, and use the oars to be fast and steady, but it's better than this thing!" A wave came over, almost overturning Xu Fang's board car, and Xu Fang couldn't help but complain.
It was a little troublesome to move forward at first, but soon, Xu Fang got used to the frame, and swayed and carried the hopes of the whole village towards Qingyun City.
Water transportation is much more reliable than climbing a mountain, and it has only been more than two hours, Xu Fang's vision has widened for a while, and he sees the shadow of the road in the distance.
A few minutes later, Xu Fang found a hidden place to put the cart and put a few sacks to the side of the road.
After a while, a small truck drove over, and Xu Fang beckoned to stop it.
Waiting for the opportunity was an uncle in his forties, sitting in the car and looking at Xu Fang with a smile, and asked loudly: "Young man, what's the matter?"
"Are you going to Qingyun City?" asked Xu Fang.
"Go, why don't you go?" the driver looked at the sack on the ground and said, "But you have to collect money, where are you going?" ”
"Qingyun Hotel. ”
"I just came back from delivering the goods, and I happened to be on the way, so I will charge you fifty, how about it?" the driver asked.
Qingyun City here is almost thirty miles away, and fifty yuan is not expensive.
"Okay, open the rear compartment and move something. Xu Fang pointed to the sack.
Seeing Xu Fang carrying the bag easily, the driver also stretched out a thumbs up: "The young man is sturdy." ”
The driver was more talkative, and Xu Fang also learned that this guy happened to be doing freight transportation. I heard that Xu Fang would often use the car, so the uncle directly left Xu Fang a business card: "If you need to use the car, you can call me, even if I am not free, you can ask a friend to help you." I'm cheap on the way, if I specialize in pulling goods, one hundred at a time. ”
The price was fair, Xu Fang thanked him, and soon, the two arrived at the door of Qingyun Hotel.
