Chapter 5 Sources of Goods
"Well, today is almost, there are still more than a dozen catties left, fortunately, the lobster and crab are sold out, otherwise they will have to be pinned to death by them on the road with the fish!
But these ten catties are only thirty yuan of profits, nothing else!"
Flicking off the cigarette butt, Zhu Chengming began to move the table to prepare for dinner.
Thirty dollars profit...... Nothing......
Hearing these words in Chen Jin's ears, his face was burning with pain.
The designer looks very high-end on the surface, especially around 2000, and friends are envious.
But the salary in hand was only 800, but it became nothing in Zhu Chengming's mouth.
"Uh...... Uncle Zhu, can I learn from you for a few days? I want to do business!"
During the meal, Chen Jin held back for a long time before he mustered up his courage.
"No problem, but tomorrow you have to get up early, get up at 2 o'clock in the morning to stock, it's very hard!"
"It's okay, I'll go to bed in a while!"
After a few bites of rice, Chen Jin seemed to want to go back quickly.
"Hehe, silly boy, what are you sleeping at noon now!" Zhu Chengming smiled, but he admired Chen Jin's energy.
"Then what do you usually do in the afternoon?" Uncle Zhu really didn't pay attention to what he was doing in the afternoon.
"Ordinary people just play cards and watch TV, otherwise rent two VCDs and come back for leisure.
I went to the river to catch yellow eels in the afternoon, but I won't catch them today, so I'll take you to the source of the goods!"
"Where do you come from?"
"Well, Steep Lake, you go back first, come to me at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
After speaking, Zhu Chengming also finished eating, instructed Chen Jin to say a few words, and went back to the house to rest!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen came in, Zhu Chengming had already packed up and said to Chen Jin: "Xiaojin, get in the car!"
From the middle of the city to the north of the city, Chen Jin after being reborn is still looking back on the previous LC area for the first time.
The crooked-necked tree in front of the flour mill is still there, and when I was a child, I used to spend an afternoon playing with a group of children.
At this time, the scenery belt across the road had not yet been built, and the dilapidated houses and abandoned factories were full of desolation.
It's hard to imagine spending the first decade or so of your life in such an environment.
The steep lake is not far away, and it is ten miles away from the bridge, and the motorcycle is a matter of one foot on the accelerator.
"Lao Zhang, bring a nephew to see the goods and row over!"
In the middle of the lake, there is a cement boat of about 20 tons, and on the bow of the boat is a family of old and young!
Under a pergola made of orange curtains, a family was chopping something with a knife.
"Isn't this an aquatic product? What are they cutting with a knife?" The sound of knocking and clicking was endless, and Chen Jin felt curious.
"That's water chestnut, a kind of aquatic product, haven't you eaten it?" Zhu Chengming was a little strange.
"I've eaten that thing, but I always thought it was on a lotus root, hehehe......"
Chen Jin smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Poof...... Hahaha, you kid is so stupid and cute, forget it, let's go to the boat and have a look!"
Lao Zhang rowed a small wooden boat next to the bow to pick up Chen Jin and the others.
"Is this your nephew?" Lao Zhang had a dark face, a big pair of pants all over his body, and he didn't even wear shoes, a typical fisherman's dress!
"Well, Xiaojin hurriedly called Uncle Zhang, and called Uncle Zhang twice, and guaranteed that the purchase will be cheap for you!"
Zhu Chengming smiled and patted Chen Jin.
"Pull it down, Lao Zhu, you don't care if I call me uncle, I won't give you a discount anyway, let's not engage in those fictitious things, just real money!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his right thumb, index finger, and middle finger together as he spoke!
"Hahaha, the old bastard eats my tofu, you can rest assured that Chen Jin is my landlord, and he is very rich!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Chengming squeezed his eyes at Chen Jin.
After getting on the boat, Chen Jincai seriously looked at the scenery in front of him.
The river is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the fishing boat of the old Zhang family is in this place that resembles the belly of a gourd.
According to Lao Zhang's eldest son, there is no need to cast a net if there are many fish here, put the cage in the water, and there will be fish automatically the next day, which is not small.
Looking at Lao Zhang's son's demonstration, Chen Jin nodded in admiration: "There are so many fish, no wonder you don't want small fish!"
The family laughed: "Silly boy, that fish fry will definitely not be caught, this is a rule for thousands of years, and we will not break it!"
"That's a lotus, and there's a lotus root underneath!" The four children of the old Zhang family have a bit of a big age difference.
The eldest son is in his early twenties, and now Chen Jin is talking to his seven or eight-year-old daughter.
"That's it, my old girl knows more than you know!" For Chen Jin, Lao Zhang's family laughed happily.
The embarrassed Chen Jin couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, but he was struggling to be on the water.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's take us to see the fish pond!" Zhu Chengming took the lead in getting on the boat.
Chen Jin looked at the opposite bank, and there were indeed patches of ponds, some surrounded by green fishing nets, and some empty.
"I don't know how this year's saury is, the price was too low last year, and if it's ten yuan this year, I'll get a dry goods stall!"
Sitting on the boat, Zhu Chengming chatted with Lao Zhang again and again.
"Be content, when Lao Zhao rode a bicycle to carry the goods ten years ago, it was only five yuan a catty, the purchase price was four yuan, four hundred catties in two days, and it was four hundred yuan with his eyes closed, an average of two hundred a day, what do you want?"
The two chatted, Chen Jin couldn't sit still in his heart, he knew the hairy knifefish, it was a very slender kind, shaped like a knife, but there was a lot of hair on the backbone, so it was called hairy knifefish.
Stir-fried with green peppers, it is a unique dish in the local area, I didn't expect it to be so profitable.
You must know that what they said was 87 years, and the monthly salary of ordinary workers in that year was only 16 yuan a month, and the monthly income of Lao Zhao was at least 5,000 yuan, which could be described as a local tyrant at that time.
"What do those with purse seine nets mean with and without seine nets?
"There are crabs and lobsters with nets, and those without nets are fish, big-headed silver carp and black fish or something!"
Chen Jin took a look, there were indeed crabs and lobsters crawling up, it turned out that there was such an operation!
Lao Zhang said: "It is not excluded that some people are afraid that the fish in the fish pond will be washed away by the big water, and there are two fish farmers who also pull the nets, oh!"
I pointed to it, and there were indeed two companies that did not have crabs or lobsters crawling on their nets.
"But if there is a real flood, this net is useless, hehe!" Zhu Chengming gloated a little.
Lao Zhang shook his head and was noncommittal.
When he arrived at the shore, Lao Zhang's son picked up the small anchor in the cabin and threw it on the ground, and jumped off the boat first.
"Ahead, follow me!"
It's all wetlands, Lao Zhang's father and son are barefoot, Zhu Chengming is wearing rain boots, and Chen Jin is wearing sneakers.
"Hahaha, people in the city are definitely not used to coming here, next time you come to remember to learn from Lao Zhu to wear rain boots!"
Lao Zhang turned around and laughed and said something, and chatted with Zhu Chengming about something.
Chen Jin caught up with Lao Zhang's eldest son in a few steps: "Smoking?"
"Thank you, my dad won't give you a cigarette!" Lao Zhang's son smiled innocently.
"My name is Chen Jin, what's your name?" asked Chen Jin as he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"My name is Zhang Xi, a bit feminine, right?" Zhang Xi was a little depressed.
"No, you're probably a white-haired woman, right? There are a lot of men who are happy, and the iron man Wang Jin is happy!" Chen Jin was very sincere.
"If you don't mind, I'm nineteen, how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen, Brother Xizi......"
"It's here!" shouted Lao Zhang in front of him!
