Chapter 133: Get on the fishing boat

Mao Dayong gave the saury to the customer alone, and did not mean to take Xiao Ping with him, obviously he was preventing Xiao Ping from skipping himself and contacting the customer directly. Free eBook download // Xiao Ping didn't pay attention to this, anyway, he didn't plan to go door-to-door to sell saury. Now the reputation of the farm has been established, and as long as it is the agricultural products produced by the farm, some people are rushing to ask for it. I believe that this is also the case when the saury is listed, there is no need to worry about the problem of sales, and there will only be a situation where supply exceeds demand.

Mao Dayong moved quickly, and it didn't take long for him to rush back to the aquatic market, and took Xiao Ping to find someone who was in the eel fry business. The saury fish sold just now was obviously well received by customers, and Mao Dayong's mood was also very good. When he was in a good mood, he talked more, and the noise kept on the way, which made Xiao Ping dizzy.

Fortunately, the two of them arrived at the place soon, and Mao Dayong shouted outside the store: "Boss Gong, there is business coming to the door, come out to pick up customers!" ”

A middle-aged man with a dark face and rough skin heard the voice, and said to Mao Dayong angrily: "Mao Dayong, as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was you." You still pick up customers, you sell your ass! ”

"Isn't greeting guests just picking them up?" Mao Dayong said with a smile: "This is Boss Xiao, he is my big customer." If you want to buy some eel seedlings, isn't this the introduction to you? ”

Seeing that Mao Dayong was indeed introducing business to himself, Boss Gong's face looked a little better, and he looked at Xiao Ping and asked, "Boss Xiao is the first time to buy eel seedlings, right?" Quite a few words"

"That's right." Xiao Ping didn't hide what Gong Lao meant, and replied honestly: "I think the price of eels has become more and more expensive in recent years. So I want to try to raise it. ”

Mao Dayong really wanted to help Xiao Ping. immediately said beside him: "Boss Gong, don't look at Boss Xiao as soon as he enters the industry, he is my friend." ”

Boss Gong glanced at Mao Dayong impatiently, and then said to Xiao Ping slowly: "Boss Xiao, I won't hide it from you, the price of eel seedlings has risen again this year, forty-five each, no two prices!" ”

At first, Xiao Ping thought that he had misheard, or Boss Gong had quoted the price indiscriminately, but he immediately noticed that Mao Dayong's expression was natural. Only then did I understand that this eel seedling was really sold so expensive. Since this is the case, Xiao Ping has nothing to say, and quickly nodded and said: "Okay, I want five thousand, can I deliver it today?" ”

Xiao Ping's plan is very good. Anyway, there is more land on the farm. It's better to dig two more fish ponds. These 5,000 eel seedlings were first raised in the original fish pond, and when they grew up, some of them were moved to the new pond, and it was a lot of income to raise them until the Chinese New Year.

However, Boss Gong looked very surprised when he heard Xiao Ping's words, and then his surprised expression slowly turned into a bitter smile, and he shook his head and asked him: "Boss Xiao, do you know how many eel seedlings have been sold by me since last spring?" ”。

"How many?"

"In more than a year, there are only more than 13,000 in total!"

"That's it?" This time it was Xiao Ping's turn to be surprised, and he began to feel that the purchase of eel seedlings this time might not go as smoothly as he thought.

"Eel seedlings are hard to catch." Boss Gong sighed and said: "The eel seedlings at the mouth of the Yangtze River are getting fewer and fewer year by year, and I still have two boats on the river, and I still have a lot of goods in my hand." Many owners of the eel seedling business can't get the goods themselves. Not to mention selling to someone else. ”

Mao Dayong also said beside him: "Boss Gong is right, everyone says that there are very few eel seedlings this year, and many bosses who did the eel seedling business last year have changed careers this year." ”

Xiao Ping asked Boss Gong helplessly: "Then how many goods do you have now?" I'm going to do it all. ”

"There are only thirty or forty." Boss Gong himself was embarrassed that he only had such a small amount of goods in his hand, and hurriedly continued: "But tomorrow I will go down the river with the boat, and I should still be able to receive some goods." ”…,

Xiao Ping suddenly had a thought, and said eagerly: "Boss Gong, I'll go down the river with you tomorrow, I'll take care of as many eel seedlings as you can receive!" ”

"This ......" Gong Boss was embarrassed: "It's very dangerous to go down the river, you are a layman in case you encounter any danger......"

Xiao Ping intercepted: "Of course, if there is danger, it is my own, and Boss Mao can be a witness to this!" ”

Mao Dayong also helped: "Boss Gong." Don't underestimate Boss Xiao, he just sold me a few live river knives! Do you think the person who can get the living river knife will never go down the river? ”。

Mao Dayong's words also surprised Boss Gong, he looked at Xiao Ping seriously again, and then nodded: "Okay." See you tomorrow morning at four o'clock on the pier of the market! ”

The next day it was not yet dawn. Xiao Ping arrived at the wharf of the aquatic market. Jiangnan is still a little chilly in early spring, and it is even colder by the river in the early morning. The cold river wind howled across the wharf, causing the early fishermen to shrink their heads and some shiver involuntarily.

Xiao Ping had already taken so much spiritual liquid, and had absorbed the leaves of a magical tree in the demon refining pot, and his physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people. Although it has not yet reached the point where the cold and heat are not invasive, this level of cold wind has no effect on him. Xiao Ping walked unhurriedly on the dock as if he were taking a walk in the warm afternoon.

Boss Gong arrived earlier than Xiao Ping, and when he saw him like this, there was also a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he quickly greeted him and said, "Boss Xiao, let's get on the boat!" ”

Gong Laoda's fishing boat is a wooden-hulled motor boat of more than ten tons. Xiao Ping was on such a fishing boat for the first time, and he felt that everything was very fresh, and after getting on the boat, he couldn't help but look around curiously, and wanted to stand on the bow of the boat to enjoy the feeling of riding the wind and waves. However, Boss Gong didn't dare to let Xiao Ping run around on the boat, and immediately pulled him into the cockpit, saying that he wouldn't let Xiao Ping go to the deck.

This ship is Boss Gong, and he will be the captain after he gets on the boat. It is said that the captain is the largest on the ship, and if he does not obey his orders, he will be thrown into the water. So although Xiao Ping wanted to go outside to blow the wind, he could only stay in the cabin unwillingly.

Such a small boat is very inconspicuous when it is parked on the pier of the fish market, and it will be even smaller when it actually sails to the river. Don't look at the calm on the river today, but this small fishing boat is still very bumpy.

Boss Gong looked at Xiao Ping with some concern, and finally couldn't help but ask him, "Boss Xiao, have you had breakfast?" ”。

"Of course!" Xiao Ping patted his belly and said: "Zhilu Dao has something to do today, I also deliberately ate more, and I am very full!" ”

Xiao Ping's words made Boss Gong's face cramp, and after being silent for a long time, he reminded in a low voice: "Boss Xiao, if you are nauseous for a while, please stick your head outside and vomit, it doesn't smell good to vomit in the cabin." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not seasick." Xiao Ping smiled at Boss Gong with confidence, and enjoyed the scenery outside the cabin with great interest.

Seeing that Xiao Ping looked very sure, Boss Gong couldn't say anything more. I just hope that after a while, he will be able to say things like "I don't get seasick" like he is now.

Gong Laoda's fishing boat went down the river and reached the mouth of the Yangtze River at dawn. In this place, the river is already very wide, and it is difficult to see the north and south banks. Xiao Pingyun had enough eyesight to barely see a vague black line on the horizon, which was the riverbank dozens of kilometers away.

When it came to the mouth of the sea, the wind and waves were stronger, and the ten-ton boat was like a peanut shell thrown into the washing machine, rising and falling with the waves, and there was hardly a time for calm. The waves on both sides of the ship came in waves, many times even higher than the side of the ship, and people couldn't help but be frightened to watch. …,

Boss Gong sails on this body of water all year round, and such a scene is naturally nothing. With a look of composure, he steered the fishing boat towards the waters where the fishermen usually catch eel seedlings. To Boss Gong's surprise, Xiao Ping was really not seasick at all as he said. Even in such a big wave, Xiao Ping still looked around curiously. Every time the fishing boat crosses a relatively large wave, he still has a very exciting expression on his face, and he obviously enjoys the voyage.

Xiao Ping's performance made Boss Gong breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that he really doesn't get seasick, it's good, I don't have to wash the cabin today......

After the fishing boat sailed to the calmer waters near Chongming Island, the speed gradually slowed down. Boss Gong asked the two sailors on the boat to prepare the nets, and explained to Xiao Ping: "It's still early, and I can't receive any eel seedlings." We'll catch it ourselves for a while, and then we'll find someone else to collect it when it's late, and the harvest will be a little more. ”

Harvesting eel seedlings and fishing for eel seedlings is a familiar business for Boss Gong, of course Xiao Ping will not point fingers at his arrangement, but just asks expectantly: "Can I go to the deck to have a look?" ”。

Considering that Xiao Ping really didn't get seasick, Boss Gong hesitated for a while and nodded, but he still hurriedly added: "But you have to wear a life jacket!" ”

So Xiao Ping put on an eye-catching orange life jacket and followed Boss Gong to the deck. Although the waters near the shore were calmer, the deck was undulating and rocking, and it was very difficult to gain a foothold on it. However, this is not a problem for Xiao Ping, whose physical fitness is far better than ordinary people, his feet are like suction cups, firmly nailed to the deck, looking like an experienced old fisherman, even Boss Gong can't help but be secretly surprised when he sees it.

Xiao Pingcai didn't care what Boss Gong thought of himself, he watched Boss Gong and the others every move with great interest, just to see what the legendary eel fry looked like.

Boss Gong also quickly turned his attention to the river and began to catch eel fry. I saw him staring at the river intently, the long-handled net in his hand half-sticking out of the side of the boat, ready to go out of the net to catch fish at any time.

Xiao Ping watched expectantly, waiting for the first fry to come out of the water today. However, more than an hour passed, but Boss Gong and the others found nothing, and they didn't even stretch out the net to go once. Xiao Ping's anticipation slowly turned into boredom, and inevitably turned into impatience at the end. Although he already knew in advance that it would be difficult to catch eel seedlings, he really didn't expect it to be like this. It's been almost an hour and there is still no harvest, no wonder the eel seedlings are so expensive.

Just when Xiao Ping deserted, Boss Gong, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly moved, and the fishing net in his hand stretched out like lightning. (To be continued......)
