Knowing that the price was so cheap, Chu Mingcheng immediately began to pick out all the mackerel over thirty-five centimeters in his basket of fish.

Ten catties is only eighty yuan, so you might as well keep more, and you can make small dried fish to tease your own cat.

Pick out the big ones and sell the rest.

Then he took out his own blue spot, and the fishmongers' eyes lit up.

It's just that their highest price is 40 yuan a catty, and it is obviously not cost-effective to sell it to them.

In fact, this purchase price is normal, and the fishmongers take it from the fishermen and have to sell it to the shop.

The normal market price is the normal market price when the store sells it to customers, which is 80 yuan a catty.

Chu Mingcheng originally wanted to ask if he wanted a large amount of money in the group, but a passer-by who was watching the excitement wanted to buy it at a price of one thousand and fifty, which was almost eighty-one catties.

Counting the period in the evening, he earned more than 1,200 points, isn't this more comfortable than going to work?

Carrying his fish and fishing tackle to say goodbye to Zhao Jun, Chu Mingcheng squeezed out of the dock, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Zhang Wei.

"Where are you?"

"I'm right on the dock, over the railing."

Chu Mingcheng looked around, only to find Zhang Wei who was still throwing the rod and was not ready to leave.

After looking at his catch, he estimated that it was only half of what he caught, and it was all small fish.

"Still fishing, the fish has long run out, you still catch a der!"

"Isn't this waiting for you!" Zhang Wei said and looked at Chu Mingcheng's harvest, and saw that all the big fish he was carrying in his hand were a little surprised, "The location you are looking for is so good, they are all big fish?" ”

"I use submerged minoes to catch the bottom, and the big mackerel are all in the lower layer, and the natural ones I catch are all big."

"I can't see it, you've only been fishing for a few days, and you know so much!" Zhang Wei joked when he heard this, then looked at the fishmonger not far away, and asked, "Aren't you going to sell it?" ”

Speaking of the price, Chu Mingcheng was slightly speechless, this was the cheapest fish he had ever encountered.

"The small one is four dollars a pound, and the big one is only eight dollars, and it sells for a P. The fat ones are left to eat by themselves, and the thinner ones are planned to be made into dried fish, which can be eaten by myself or used as a snack for cats. ”

"Haha, cheap is cheap, anyway, I had a good day of fishing."

Zhang Wei doesn't care about the price, and he doesn't make a living from fishing.

It's just that after comparing the fish he caught with the fish in Chu Mingcheng's hand, he showed a sly smile.

"Ah Cheng, you see that the fish here are so small, they definitely don't taste good, your fish is so big, give me two to taste?"

"Okay!"

Chu Mingcheng was even willing to give away herring and silver carp before, but that was purposeful. But Zhang Wei has been his friend for many years, just a few mackerel, and there is nothing to be reluctant about.

If it was him who wanted herring fish in the first place, then Chu Mingcheng would definitely not accept money.

But a real friend won't let him suffer, so Zhang Wei won't mention that kind of thing, and it doesn't matter if it's cheap mackerel like this.

"You go and sell these fish first, and get some money. When you sell well, I will pick two fat ones for you. ”

"Okay." Zhang Wei nodded, and took the fish to sell first.

After a while, he came back scolding all the way.

"Damn, I thought it was a lot, but it didn't even turn out to be a hundred."

Chu Mingcheng couldn't help laughing: "How much did you sell?" ”

"Ninety-five yuan seven, the profiteer didn't even give me seven cents, just wiped it on me."

"Alright, go to my place first! I'll talk to Chen Yang later, and I'll have supper in the evening. ”

"Oops, there's a late-night snack, it's good."

The two of them drove back separately, and when they returned home, Chu Mingcheng looked at the weather forecast, and learned that the weather had been very good in the past two days, so he separated the mackerel that needed to be dried into fish, and only left the nine particularly fat ones to be frozen in the refrigerator, including the two that were sent to Zhang Wei.

I also got some water and ice by the way, so that when I eat supper and bring the fish with me, it won't stink when it doesn't freeze.

Mackerel is a particularly perishable fish, so either eat it quickly or make it into a dried fish.

"Ah Wei, hurry up and help me kill the fish, I want to dry the fish at night."

Zhang Wei has already sent a message to inform Chen Yang that he is playing with a mackerel!

However, Xiao Mi was very full tonight, and when she smelled the mackerel, she lost interest.

Hearing Chu Mingcheng ask him for help, he didn't refuse, he came to the kitchen and picked up the knife and started working.

The knives in the kitchen were quite complete, and Chu Mingcheng had already taken the kitchen knife and began to process the internal organs of the fish.

He did not cut through the belly of the fish, but from the back of the fish, and cut the mackerel in half, but the belly of the fish did not touch, so that the fish remained a whole.

Remove the internal organs and gills, then throw them in a basin and move on to the next one, and soon the two of them have processed sixteen fish.

Chu Mingcheng washed the fish with clean water, and used kitchen paper to dry the water as much as possible.

He didn't plan to marinate the dried fish in a particularly salty way, so he rubbed the fish with coarse salt and let it sit for three minutes.

Then I made a basin of salt water and poured a little liquor, which has the effect of sterilizing and removing the fish.

The liquor was given by relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and his family didn't drink much, so he kept it at home.

Not only the old houses, but also the houses in the town have more wine, white wine and red wine.

Soak for half an hour, pick it up and use kitchen paper to absorb the water again, then use a rope to run it up, and take it to the balcony on the second floor to let the sea breeze dry at night.

His drying method is called overnight dried fish, which is different from the traditional drying method, and the dried fish is generally not very hard.

Mackerel should be dried for 16 hours, and if you want to be softer, you should dry it for a shorter time.

Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to dry it for too long, he deliberately soaked it in salted water just so that he could add some seasonings and bake it in the oven to eat, so that it would taste very fragrant.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Chen Yang also drove there.

Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised when he saw him: "Ayang, why are you here?" ”

"It's also idle at home, so it's better to come and play. I heard Ah Wei say that you quit your job, why don't you come and help me? "Chen Yang is not very handsome, medium appearance.

But the height is about the same as him, his face is a little baby fat and looks very tender, and the family has a little money, so he has been living a very good life.

Chu Mingcheng didn't reply to this question, but smiled mysteriously: "Do you know how much money I have earned by fishing and catching the sea in the past half month?" ”

"How much do you make by fishing? I heard Ah Wei say that you made 9,000 by fishing for alligator gars, but this is just a coincidence! Chen Yang couldn't imagine how much he could make by fishing in the sea, and when he let himself guess the income, he immediately thought of what Zhang Wei told him about fishing for alligator gars.

"Except for the nine thousand of the alligator gar, you guess!"

"This..."Chen Yang touched his chin and hesitated a little, looking at Chu Mingcheng's appearance, he should have earned a lot, for the sake of conservatism, he said a figure that he thought was very high, "There are five thousand?" ”

Zhang Wei sneered when he heard this: "Are you stupid or not, Ah Cheng almost has this number when he goes to engage in sea earthworms every day." Not to mention going fishing at night or something, I think there can be 8,000. ”

"Eight thousand, so many?" Chen Yang was stunned, more than 8,000 in half a month, isn't it 16,000!

Even if his income is unstable, it is definitely not a problem to pay more than 10,000 yuan a month according to the trend, he can't afford such a high salary, and his heart suddenly extinguished the idea of asking Chu Mingcheng to help him.

In fact, there is no shortage of people in his store, but he thinks that everyone is a brother.

When Chu Mingcheng is familiar with his family's products and accumulates a little bit of customers, he can actually divide it out and do it alone, and he can give business here.
