Chapter 11: Make money

"Sister~ Grandparents and aunts came back from the sea and caught a lot of things, come and take a look~" Su Jinyang ran into the grocery store like a little whirlwind.

Su Manjin and Zeng Meiyue glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and were dragged by their younger brother to the small courtyard of the old house.

There were several buckets and baskets beside the well in the courtyard.

Su Manjin took a closer look and couldn't help but sigh: "Grandma, aunt, you have a bumper harvest!" ”

Su Jinshun hurriedly changed his clothes when he got home, and Su Yumei's mother and daughter were sorting out today's harvest.

"Xiaoman, the method you taught me yesterday is really useful, you see I dug up a lot of clams." Su Yumei happily pointed to the bamboo basket.

The basket contained clams, many of which were the size of a palm, estimated to weigh eight or nine pounds.

"Those snails were picked up by your grandmother in the crevices of the reefs, she had picked them up before, and she was very skilled, you see there are so many."

The black bucket by the well was a mix of golden and spicy snails, as well as seven or eight large conchs, a few razor clams and shrimp.

"We went early today, the tide had just receded, and there were a lot of things left, so we buried ourselves in our work as soon as we got to the beach. You see, these clams must be about ten pounds! ”

Su Yumei pointed to the big bamboo basket next to the clams, which was full of clams and some damp sand.

"Wow, auntie, you're too good! And you can catch live fish?! Su Manjin was a little surprised, there were actually two crucian carp more than 20 centimeters in the red plastic bucket, and one of them was still swimming around.

"Those two fish were brought up at high tide, and your grandfather took a bucket and a fork and waded down to catch them!"

"Today is the sixteenth, the tide is rising, and there are more things to bring with me than usual." Grandma Zhou Xiuni replied with a smile.

"And those crabs, which your grandfather caught in the pebbles at low tide." There were five or six fat pike crabs in the small bamboo basket, and a bunch of smaller Hua Dan crabs.

Su Manjin was convinced. This catch the sea still has to be done by professional people. Although the timing of the rising tide is favorable, it also requires a lot of skill.

Su Jinshun and Zhou Xiuni have been dealing with the fields for half their lives, and they have only started to cultivate oysters in the shallow sea in the past few years.

It's just that they are busy with business—stringing oyster shells, hanging oysters, collecting oysters, opening oysters, drying oysters, or selling oyster meat. That's how every family in the village came over.

This time, when I saw that my granddaughter could make a lot of money by catching the sea, I thought about trying my luck too, but I didn't expect to harvest more than raising oysters.

Su Jinshun changed his clothes and came out, just in time to see Su Manjin squatting by the well looking at their loot today with admiration. He walked over with a smile and touched his granddaughter's hair dotingly.

The girl looked up happily: "Grandpa, we have caught so many things, do you want to sell them?" ”

Su Jinshun looked at his granddaughter's sparkling eyes and said with a smile: "Let's keep some for ourselves to eat and send some to the restaurant to sell, right?" What does Xiaoman think? ”

"Well, this crucian carp can be sold for a lot of money. We can bring it with us. ”

"There are also clams, large conchs, and crabs, and that Uncle Wang said he wanted to buy them yesterday. You can bring more. ”

"Clams and golden snails are more common and not very valuable, so you can bring a little, but not too much."

Su Jinshun listened to his granddaughter's methodical arrangement, and immediately nodded: "Okay, just follow what Xiaoman said." ”

Su Manjin went to the store to say hello to Zeng Meiyue, and Su Jin quickly packed up his things and came to the store.

"Dad, take the bike if you want it. Get over early now and come back just in time for lunch. Zeng Meiyue saw her father-in-law coming over and hurriedly handed him the bicycle key.

Su Jinshun hung a bag and a bucket on the handlebars on both sides of the bicycle, put a hat on Su Manjin's head to prevent the little girl from getting cold, and the grandfather and grandson rode their bicycles to the restaurant.

It took less than fifteen minutes to arrive at the door of Wangchun Wind Restaurant.

Su Jinshun locked the bicycle, carried a bag in one hand, and a bucket in the other, looking at the palatial restaurant façade, he was a little restrained. It was the first time he had come to the restaurant, and he didn't know if he would let him in.

Su Manjin walked to the front desk with a comfortable face.

"Hello, I'm Su Manjin, I told Uncle Wang Chunfeng yesterday that I would send some seafood to your kitchen. Is Uncle Wang here? ”

At the front desk of the restaurant was the proprietress of a woman in her thirties, she smiled gently: "You are looking for Chunfeng, he is busy, I will take you to the back kitchen." As he spoke, he beckoned the waiter to stare at the front hall.

Wang Chunfeng was talking to the head chef when he saw Su Manjin and a few people coming over, and said with a smile: "Yo, little girl, what good things did you catch today?" "Yesterday's sea cucumber made him very impressed by this little girl.

"Hello, uncle, your restaurant is really doing good business, I just came over and saw that the hall and the box are full."

Su Manjin: "Today, my grandfather went to catch the sea and caught a lot of good things, I brought some of them to you, you can take a look." ”

Su Jinshun hurriedly handed over the bag and bucket in his hand, put them on the desk and lifted the moisturizing cotton cloth on it.

"Yes, this crucian carp looks fresh. The crabs are also fat. Wang Chunfeng nodded.

"Well, I want clams and conchs, the few I bought from you yesterday, my wife took it home and stewed the soup, it is very fresh, we are going to open this soup in the restaurant in the future."

"Little girl, I have taken all the things you brought today. This wild crucian carp and crab will be given to you at 15 yuan per catty, the clams and conch are still 10 yuan per catty at yesterday's price, and the clams and golden snails are 2 yuan per catty. "Wang Chunfeng is very refreshing.

Su Manjin smiled brightly, this boss is a businessman who is honest and sincere.

"Thank you, uncle, just do what you say."

"You can also ask the kitchen to list the best-selling seafood dishes, and our family can focus on them for you in the future."

"By the way, uncle, I don't necessarily have time to come over to school in the middle of the week, this is my grandfather Su Jinshun, and he will come to deliver goods to you in the future." Su Manjin introduced.

Wang Chunfeng patted Su Jinshun's shoulder enthusiastically, "Brother, your granddaughter is not simple, she can do business at a young age." ”

Su Jinshun smiled honestly, with a proud glint on his face: "Our family is a small man, and we have been smart and sensible since we were children. ”

After the kitchen weighed, Wang Chunfeng asked people to make a list and calculate the quantity, price, and total amount of the goods received today. He glanced at it, and asked his wife to pay the amount to Su Jinshun.

Bidding farewell to Wang Chunfeng, the grandfather and grandson walked out of Wangchun Restaurant.

Su Jinshun pinched the banknotes and lists given by the restaurant, feeling that his steps were floating.

Crucian carp 32 yuan + clams 75 yuan + conch and crab 55 yuan + clams 13 yuan + golden snail 8 yuan = 183 yuan!

Now the salary for a day's work is only 30 yuan, and the three of them have been in the sea for more than half a day and have earned 6 days' wages!

Although I went out at 3 o'clock in the morning and came back at noon, even if it was about a day to keep up with the working time, it was still 2 days' wages! I couldn't have thought of it before.

Su Manjin looked at her grandfather in disbelief, and she was a little sad.

Grandpa has been used to hard work all his life, doing all manual work, hard work and earning little.

In his last life, he and his grandmother dragged several children to grow up and start a family, relying on tireless efforts.

"Grandpa, we can continue to cooperate with Uncle Wang in the future, as long as we catch up with the sea and have a harvest, we make money, and life will get better and better."

Su Jinshun: "Well, grandpa believes it!" As long as we are diligent and follow the law of the tides to the sea, we will definitely be better than farming! ”

"Grandpa, now that we have start-up capital, we can consider making the business bigger, and we will be able to have more income at that time."

"Huh? Can there be more income? Su Jinshun excitedly grabbed his granddaughter's hand and asked.

"Oh, grandpa, I'm hungry. Let's go home and finish our meal first, and then slowly add it up. ”
