Chapter 57: Selling Fish and Buying Bicycle Tickets

In three hours, twenty-five rows of hooks, a total of seventeen fish were pulled.

Among them, the proportion of groupers accounts for about one-third, a total of six, and the weight is between one and a half catties to four catties.

Subsequently, Tong Yuanhang was pulled up here, and the number of results was about the same, and it seemed that the two of them had the same luck today.

The next one o'clock was closed, and the next three o'clock was collected again before today's work was completely over.

Zhang Ze harvested a total of fifteen groupers and more than 30 catties of three times, and Tong Yuanhang seventeen.

However, although there were two more on his side, the total weight was nearly a pound less.

The rest of the time, the two barely stopped, fishing.

Zhang Ze weighed the grouper on his side and found that there were a total of sixty-three catties and three taels, and Tong Yuanhang's was fifty-two catties and one tael.

"Aze, do you have any secrets to fishing for groupers, why do I catch less than you every time?"

There is not much difference in the total number of hooks between the two people, but the rest of the time fishing, the gap is shown. Tong Yuanhang looked at his harvest and wondered a little, he didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Maybe there's something wrong with the water you're fishing?" Zhang Ze thought for a while and said.

Tong Yuanhang didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?" ”

"Every time I fish, when the rocks sink to the bottom, I retract the line a little bit, so that the bait is more than a meter above the bottom of the water, and it is easier for the fish to find the bait."

"If your bait sinks directly to the bottom, it's hard for the fish to spot the bait." Zhang Ze wished that he would fish more, so that he could earn a little more, and he would definitely not hide the problem when he found it.

"I see!" Tong Yuanhang suddenly realized, and then he was a little annoyed, if he had asked earlier, there would have been more groupers caught today.

Then they rowed out and set off to the location they had agreed upon.

After a short while, they came to their destination, on the edge of a very small island, not far from the dock.

In the past, Zhang Ze put the fish into the bamboo basket when he didn't arrive at the dock, but now he can't get the fish in a bamboo basket, so he can only find a more hidden place.

Loading fish directly at the dock and not going to the aquatic station, that is because I think my life is not happy, and I am looking for a report.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Tong Yuanhang's two younger brothers also arrived.

After weighing, one was forty-seven pounds and six taels, and the other was forty-three pounds and seven taels, which was a little less than he expected.

Looking at it this way, he can finish the fish in two trips.

The bamboo basket was filled with fish and covered with a rag, Tong Yuanhang rowed to the dock, and Zhang Ze carried the bamboo basket to the radio factory without difficulty.

When he came to the power plant, Chen Zhengyou saw that it was all fish, so he asked suspiciously: "There are no lobsters today?" ”

"I still have eighty or ninety catties of fish over there, and the lobsters will be sent over together when the time comes."

Hearing that there was still today, Chen Zhengyou looked satisfied.

The more the other party sells, the more he earns, and his position may be able to rise by the end of this year.

The logistics department quickly counted the fish in this bamboo basket, a total of 131 catties and 5 taels.

Normally, a lot of water will be lost when the fish is carried from the pier to this side, but because of the space, the water of the fish is basically not lost, which also causes the overall weight to be free of many years error.

Otherwise, if there is an error between the weight weighed at sea and this side, it will be Zhang Ze himself who suffers, and he will not have this trouble now.

The second box was sent quickly, with 75 catties and 2 taels of fish, 21 catties and 7 taels of green lobster, and 16 catties and 2 taels of flower dragons.

The price of fish is five pieces a piece, two pieces of green lobster, and three pieces of flower dragon, which are three hundred and ten yuan and five cents, forty-three pieces and four cents, and forty-eight pieces and six cents.

It adds up to four hundred and two pieces, and five points have been erased.

Zhang Ze asked for three hundred and ninety, and the rest was exchanged for tickets.

Originally, his family's tickets could be used for a long time, but because he was getting married, he had to hold a wedding banquet, even if he didn't put it on a big show, but the tickets had to be prepared sufficiently, so as not to have them when he needed them, and the Tong family was currently short of tickets.

took out sixty-two yuan and gave it to Chen Zhengyou, this is a kickback that belongs to him, but this time Zhang Ze didn't give more, there is no need.

The rest has to give the Tong brothers 143 yuan and 4 cents, but they need tickets, so give 138 yuan, and the rest can be exchanged for tickets.

In this way, Zhang Ze himself still has one hundred and nineteen left.

He is not going to give the money to the family this time, the family money will be supported by his mother, and he plans to give fifty dollars a month and some tickets as a family in the future.

The rest is stored by himself, there is a small space, and the money is not safe anywhere he is.

And he still has to buy a bicycle and can't let his mother know for the time being, and it won't be enough to put more money on him.

After calculating his worth, about more than two hundred and sixty yuan, Zhang Ze knew that a bicycle ticket cost more than 100 yuan, so the money to buy a bicycle may not be enough?

It seems that you have to borrow some from Tong Yuanhang first, and it is convenient to borrow from him, and you can return the fish after selling it next time, which is considered a turnover.

When he returned to the dock, he settled the money of his two younger brothers first and asked them to go back, and then discussed: "Ah Hang, the money I have to buy a bicycle may be almost enough, can you lend me fifty lines first?" ”

"What is the relationship between the two of us, it's easy to say." Regardless of whether the bicycle is a dowry for his sister, just because of Zhang Ze's earning ability, Tong Yuanhang is not afraid that he will not be able to get the money back.

"Okay, you bring Shu Yao over tomorrow, since it's a dowry for her, she has to be there."

"It makes sense, if you don't ask for a bicycle ticket now, tomorrow I will ask Shu Yao to buy a bicycle with you, and I won't follow."

Hearing that Zhang Ze wanted to buy it with his sister-in-law, Tong Yuanhang felt that it was not easy for him to follow, so he simply went to buy the bicycle ticket now.

"Now? Is it convenient, have you asked about the price of bicycle tickets? ”

"People should be at home, and the price over there is one hundred and two. However, the situation over there is a bit special, and the price should be able to be discussed. ”

Tong Yuanhang whispered to him along the way about the bicycle ticket, then led him to a slightly old house and knocked on the door.

After a while, a relatively thin man opened the door, the man estimated that he was in his thirties, he was first surprised to see the two outside, and then there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"It's Ah Hang, come in, come in."

Tong Yuanhang said hello with a smile, and then took Zhang Ze into the door.

After entering the house, an obvious smell of Chinese medicine filled the tips of the noses of the two.

However, Zhang Ze has already understood the situation, it is nothing more than that the man's wife is sick, and after spending all his savings, the illness is not yet well, and the man has no choice but to reward himself in the factory, and then take out the bicycle tickets that he has kept for many years and sell them, and continue to raise money for his wife's medical treatment.

The price of the bicycle ticket was one hundred and two, and in the man's worried gaze, Zhang Ze agreed after being silent.

This family is also almost exhausted, and the children in the family are not short, obviously they didn't have to worry about food and clothing before, but now they are all thin.

It is estimated that the other party will agree to cut the price, but if he does this, he will not be able to live with his conscience.

Of course, he can't do it if he gives more money to be a virgin, and he himself is short of money.

Tong Yuanhang didn't say anything about this, but he was a little satisfied with this brother-in-law, a sympathetic person is definitely better than a cold-blooded person who only cares about his own interests, no one wants to have a cold-blooded relative who only talks about interests by his side.
