Chapter 349: Digging Clams in the Bay [Add more for the leader of the book friend 'Mi Mei' Alliance!] 】
"Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming to Earth?" Jennifer was silent for a long time, and asked dumbfoundedly.
"Isn't it true that you, like me, are you worried about suffering huge financial losses, so you say that something is wrong?"
"Of course not!"
After Jennifer's explanation, Tang Hai knew that human beings had overtaken offshore resources in recent years, which had brought offshore resources to the verge of collapse!
It's hard to get big fish offshore, but it's not too small......
The forest resources of Washington State are well protected, and the forest resources of many states here, and it can even be said that the phenomenon of indiscriminate logging in the United States is well controlled.
In this way, the forest resources of Laomei are well protected.
In the previous news, the mother raccoon knocked on the window to beg for food for the child, which was untrue, in fact, the hostess of the family often put food outside the door, and the mother raccoon actually belonged to a half-wild and half-domestic raccoon, so she stared at the door and knocked on the door, but did not knock on the neighbor.
But the offshore resources are overfished in every country and food is scarce.
Small food is scarce, and large species are scarce, so if the mother sea lion wants to hunt, she has to swim farther into the deep sea.
The baby sea lion has no ability to hunt and waits in the nest for its mother to come back from catching fish.
But the communication between the sea lions is not as clear as humans can express, and it is impossible for the mother to tell them that the mother has not returned, and that they must not leave the house......
After all, they are endangered animals, and the number of poachers who will harm them around the world is counted, and they can't touch them, so they will be naturally close to humans.
And they have a keen sense of smell, so they can find the location of the restaurant very accurately......
"You say it's because of the depletion of offshore resources? It can't be helped! Washington State's marine resources are well preserved, but aren't shellfish resources almost collapsing? Such a long coastline here, thousands of kilometers, 300 kilometers is for national open sightseeing. It's okay to control, the rest is private! Nearby we are serious about growing seaweed and not trawling! It's probably only going to get worse. ”
"Ugh."
"Don't be discouraged, start with us, and wait until my voice reaches the whole world. All your worries and worries now will turn into a smile. ”
"If that day comes, you will find that I am faithful by your side."
Jennifer determined the time when the tides rose and fell through observation and speculation.
Every day is not certain......
But Jennifer has listed the formula and worked it out completely!
Hadley also participated in the fishing activities and helped Tang Hai calculate the price. Each person needs about $20 for communication, so you can know if the other party is in danger at any time, and about $50 for full-body overalls and protective equipment......
In other words, if Tang Hai wants to prepare props for 100 people, he has to allocate at least 10,000 yuan for him to buy props, as long as it is fishing things, he will be happy to make suggestions!
The labor cost here must be very expensive, otherwise the union will come to the door, Tang Hai will definitely not be able to bear it, and the old American human rights organization is simply against the sky. It's more terrible than Lao Sa and pulling the lamp......
The fishing of geoduck must be paid by the fisherman at a percentage of the selling price, which is the market price, not the purchase price of the seafood merchant, so there are often Indian super masters who can earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan during the fishing season. There are only 26 or 29 Indian tribes killed in Washington State now, and there are only a few hundred people in one tribe, and the old American political axe is actually a right strategy to appease, and other mussels do not need to be paid such a high price for Tang Hai, and it is impossible for anyone to earn twenty or thirty thousand yuan a quarter.
But it can't be too low, although the $14 per hour wage cannot be really implemented in many places, there are also Amazon companies that give $18 or even $21 an hour to help deliver goods......
Moreover, the wages of migrant workers must be the highest in manual work! It's the same in both China and the United States! Generally, those who sit in the office do not have half the income of migrant workers!
Wild clams are available for $2 to $3 per pound. That's a lot of money, after all, this thing weighs 70% of the shell! Counting the transportation costs and various expenses, and then taking out the fresh meat, the price of all kinds of fresh shellfish meat is generally $13 a pound in supermarkets.
You can't make a lot of money by picking a ton. If the ancient Japanese large clams are fished according to the limit of 10 kilograms a day per person, Tang Hai might as well raise pigs.
"I think it's more appropriate to pay $1 per kilogram,, that's higher than geoduck! Well, in the low tide period after the tide is only a few hours, it is estimated that you can earn $80. They dug us up and slowly collected the dinghy, try to collect it for a few days, and see......" Hadley suggested.
"OK, try it, I'll find Cheng Tianle and see if he can help me pull some people, I don't know those human organizations here, Johnny also asked him to contact the idle old ink fisherman."
The shopping is handed over to Hadley, the planning design is handed over to Jennifer, and Jordan is in a dinghy to collect clams at any time, and the trio happens to act together......
Tang Hai's original goal was to send 30 people to the fishing ground, and then pull 70 people from outside, but his grandmother's didn't have too many outsiders willing to come, so in the end, 19 came, and Tang Hai allocated another fishing ground to get together 50 people! The old Mo contacted by Johnny simply didn't want to make this extra money!
It's easy to explain the lack of money, but if you work hard for 8 hours a day, you may end up getting 3 apples a month......
But three Apples may not be able to rent a house in Seattle for a month!
It is very common for college students to work here to support their own education, and some of them study in the center of New York during the day in order to save money, and fly back to the countryside in the evening......
That's right, many consumer prices here are completely different from those in China!
The monthly salary of 2,000 US dollars is of course eaten casually until death, and if it is used, a 50-square-meter house with a better location will basically lead a poor life.
Many people here are worried about saving 200 yuan a month, Lao Mai's words in California when he beat the non-GM farms were 'if every food is honestly labeled GMO and non-GMO, a family will spend at least $400 more per year', a family of 3 people will spend $10 more a month, so there are many people who are unwilling, and the GMO support rate has risen directly from 30% to 60%......
Although he has been here for several years, Tang Hai sometimes does not adapt to the way of spending money here.
Since those people would rather go up the mountain to dig bracken than come and dig clams, there is no way.
Three days later, a group of people from Tang Hai set off from the fishing grounds.
Tang Hai suddenly thought of a question.
"Damn! Jennifer, clams and geoducks are together, don't dig geoducks at this time, in case you touch it, the geoduck will hang up as soon as it moves, then the loss is too heavy, that thing is much more expensive than clams! ”
"Boss, it's okay......"
