Chapter 14 Buying Braided Thread and Hooks

It's just that running and running, Zhang Ze gradually felt strange.

Obviously he has thrown off the red armband, why does the person in front of him keep running?

At this moment, the person in front suddenly turned around and shouted, "Comrade, why have you been chasing me?" I'll go to the small market to buy some dry goods, not to sell things, don't chase me! ”

"......" Zhang Ze's expression was instantly strange, he looked at his clothes, and there was no red armband on his arm, where did he look like he was catching speculation?

"You're mistaken, I'm not from the red armband."

"Why didn't you chase me all the time? There was a guy in civilian clothes who wanted to arrest me before, do you think I'm going to be fooled? ”

Zhang Ze couldn't cry or laugh, his feelings were almost lost!

He was also a little tired after running for so long, so he simply stopped.

Seeing him stop, the swarthy man in front of him also stopped after noticing it, and then put his hands on his knees and kept gasping, obviously running enough.

"Don't worry, I'm really not a red armband, I'm just a fish seller!" Zhang Ze also took a few breaths, rested and prepared to leave with a bucket.

Since there is no way to sell fish on the black market, you can only sell fish in the streets.

Although the red armband patrols the streets, he has space to take the fish back at any time.

As long as he is not caught selling fish on the spot, others with empty hands will naturally not catch him.

"Hey, comrade, it's a small city over there, don't go the wrong way." seemed to really find out that Zhang Ze was not a red armband, so the swarthy man kindly reminded him.

"I'm going into town."

"Yo, it's a coincidence, I'm going to go into the city too, let's go together!" The swarthy man seemed to be quite familiar, but he was not afraid, so he took the initiative to come over, perhaps because Zhang Ze was only one person.

"Comrade, what kind of fish are you selling?"

"I'll sell some of the mandarin fish I caught." Zhang Ze lifted the bucket and let him look at the fresh fish in it, "You don't want to be called comrade, my name is Zhang Ze, you can call me Aze." ”

"Okay, then I'll call you Aze. My name is Tong Yuanhang, you can call me Ah Hang. Tong Yuanhang looked at a few fish and exclaimed, "Mandarin fish is good, there are many people in the city who like to eat it." ”

"Dry goods like me, it's not easy to sell!"

"What do you sell?" Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was selling some mountain delicacies or dried chili peppers or something like that, and his heart suddenly became interested.

Unbeknownst to him, the next moment he smelled the smell of seafood in the back basket handed by Tong Yuanhang.

"I just sell some dried eels and dried shrimp, but the aquatic station doesn't charge too much, and the price is still low, so I want to sell it on the black market."

It turned out to be these, Zhang Ze was stunned.

The aquatic station in Yuewan County is not large, but now the sea resources are good. There are two nearby islands close to Yuewan County, and all the fish caught are sold here.

Secondly, the poor families in Yuewan County, as well as the people in the nearby towns and villages, basically want to eat seafood will go to the beach to get some, although shrimp is difficult to get at the seaside, but it is still impossible to spend money to buy.

Even many poor people living on the coast have a headache when they smell the salty smell, and they really eat too much, so of course the supply exceeds the demand in such a situation.

The quality of Tong Yuanhang's dried goods is very good, and in later generations, these dried shrimps alone will cost one or two hundred and one catties.

These are wild prawns, very fresh, let alone dry.

Zhang Ze was a little interested in these: "How do you sell these?" ”

Tong Yuanhang was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be interested in his dry goods, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Everyone knows each other, and I won't give you a false price." If you want it, I'll give you four cents and five pounds of dried shrimp, and two cents of dried eel. ”

Zhang Zeyan had no objection to this price, but the other party was five cents cheaper than the current market price.

Fresh shrimp is now only four cents, and dried shrimp is a little more expensive than five cents.

Of course, the vast majority of shrimp are cheap, but it does not mean that litopenaeus vannamei shrimp.

In the 60s, the purchase price of Ming shrimp in the country was two yuan a catty, and the Chinese people basically couldn't afford to eat it, and all these shrimp were exported to a small day.

But the number of shrimp caught for many years is getting smaller and smaller, and in a few years there will be a rise in shrimp farming, which will also cost two yuan a catty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze was a little moved, the water quality here is very suitable for shrimp farming, if they build dozens of acres of land in the future, maybe there will be more than 10,000 households a year.

But the next moment, he gave up on the idea.

If there is no unified organization of breeding by the state and the local government, it is estimated that after a few months of putting the shrimp seedlings down, they will either be poisoned or patronized by people from time to time at night.

This road is not suitable for you, it is better to make money and build a small boat first.

Then he bought two catties of dried shrimp and two pieces of dried eel from Tong Yuanhang.

One dried eel is quite large, and the two add up to three catties and three taels, a total of six cents and six.

With the addition of dried shrimp, it cost a total of five cents and six cents.

After buying these dry goods, Zhang Ze also planned to buy some flour and go home to get noodles to eat.

Dried shrimp and dried eel, plus oil residue and greens, such a bowl of noodles is absolutely fragrant.

But before that, Zhang Ze actually had another purpose.

"Ah Hang, I usually like fishing, but I don't have a good fishing line and hook, and the hook is always straightened when the big fish can't catch it. Do you know where to find good hooks and lines? By the way, it's better to have crab pots, and I want to catch some hairy crabs. ”

The nylon line Zhang Ze is using now is actually not very easy to use, if the hook is always straightened, the nylon line will definitely break when he catches a big fish last night.

You can catch small fish, and you don't need to buy these nylon lines, you can remove them from broken straw hats.

As for buying, it's really hard to find a place to sell it now.

However, the fishing line he asked for was not this kind of line, but the braided line that the fishermen used to put their hooks.

The braided thread was later known as the Hercules thread, but again, there was no place to sell it.

Fortunately, Zhang Ze knew how to get it, and his original plan was to buy some from the shoemaker, and he might be caught, but it was only for fishing.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet a seller of dried seafood today, since he sells dried seafood, it is estimated that there may be something related to fishing at home, so Zhang Ze also asked tentatively.

"You can ask the right person, I'm from Lumen Island, and I usually use it here, and I have it on my ship." Just sold some dried seafood, Tong Yuanhang will be very enthusiastic about him.

Hearing Lumen Island, Zhang Ze was not surprised.

Basically, the seafood is sold from the two nearby islands.

Soon, the two came to Yuewan County, then went straight to the dock, and then got on a fishing boat.

"Is this your own ship?" Zhang Ze's eyes lit up directly when he saw the fishing boat, and what he wanted most now was to get a fishing boat, even if there was no thruster.

"My family can't afford a boat, it's collective." Tong Yuanhang waved his hand again and again, and then he said hello to the fellow villagers who were guarding the boat, took some things from the boat and returned to him.

"These are my own hooks and lines, all new and haven't had time to use them, the lines are fifty meters long, you can give me three, this braided line is a bit expensive! You have to wait for the crab pot, I'll make you a new one, five pieces each. If you want it, come to the dock the next morning, and I'll bring it to you. ”

Zhang Ze looked at about a dozen fish hooks and a bundle of braided thread, and while giving the money, he estimated how much it would cost to exchange it from the shoemaker.

With these lines and hooks, he would have no problem catching dozens of pounds of big fish.

I went to the shoemaker to change the braided line, about one egg for one meter, which was very pitiful, and he also learned this from a fishing friend.

Fifty meters is fifty eggs, and fifty eggs are about six catties and two or three taels.

Eggs now cost a piece of nine cents a catty, that is, about six pieces and eight cents, close to seven pieces.

As long as you meet a few more willing fishermen, the shoemaker will make a fortune directly!

If you have the opportunity in the future, you will have to ask where the braided wire came from.
