Chapter Ninety-Eight: While It's Careless, It's Not Flashing
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, let go, can I call your brother?" Someone who wanted to pinch his brother-in-law was suppressed by his brother-in-law's backhand.
Tong Yuanhang didn't expect Zhang Ze to look thin and thin, but his strength was so great.
So the fishermen who pull the nets can't do farming?
"You're quite fat, do you dare?" Zhang Ze tied his hands behind his back, his knees against his waist, and pinched him to death.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Ze, can't I call you Brother Ze?" Tong Yuanhang screamed in pain, regretting it in his heart!
It's all big men, just move your mouth, why can't you think about it.
Zhang Ze saw that he was begging for mercy, so he smiled and let go of his hand.
Just kidding, his strength is one of the best among all the men in the village, not to mention drinking the spiritual spring.
Tong Yuanhang got up and twisted his arm, his face full of resentment: "I don't think it's a waste of money for you to collect oyster scallops, as for doing it?" ”
Zhang Ze sneered: "It's as if I made the first move." ”
After finishing speaking, he still explained: "My small shop will continue to do it for the time being, and you will only help once or twice, and it is not appropriate to call you every day." Spend some money to let others help pry, and you can also clean it, and it is convenient for us. ”
"And you can also specifically find those whose families are in difficulty, at least so that they can have an income."
Zhang Ze knows very well that money can't be earned by himself, and only when it is circulated is what the people above want to see.
Hearing this, Tong Yuanhang's expression was also a little solemn: "Okay, I'll ask, someone must be willing to do this." ”
Two oysters for a penny, even if Zhang Ze's shop can only sell a hundred a day, the other party can earn five cents, plus scallops, about one dollar a day can already compare to the wages of ordinary workers.
Any family on the island will rush to do it after knowing about it.
"By the way, at present, it is delivered to this dock at about ten o'clock in the morning every day, and I will go over to collect the goods and pay the money. The maximum number of oysters is 200 per day, and I will change the number of scallops according to the situation. ”
Before leaving, Zhang Ze commanded again.
The number of oysters must be limited, otherwise someone else will send a few hundred at once, and he will sell them in the store.
Scallops are relatively not easy to pick, and most of them still stay in the area of five to ten meters underwater, so the number will be much less.
After leaving, Zhang Ze came to the dock and found Zhang Qinghe tinkering with the hooks on the deck.
When he came back yesterday, he went to Lumen Island to buy some fishing lines and hooks, and also went to get some discarded foam and taught him how to make hooks.
Zhang Qinghe was also a little surprised when he saw that he was the same as Tong Yuanhang: "Aze, why are you here today, didn't you say that the small shop has opened?" I want to go to your aunt's in the evening to try your aunt's handiwork! ”
"Alas, the business was unexpected, and the ingredients were almost sold at noon, so I went to sea in the afternoon to get some ingredients, and by the way, I found a good place to catch cockles." Zhang Ze waved his hand with a helpless expression.
When Zhang Qinghe saw his expression, he suddenly had a little itchy hand for some reason and wanted to paste it.
If he had lived through the twenty-first century, he would have known that this was actually called Versailles.
Zhang Ze didn't talk to him much, walked into the wheelhouse to start the fishing boat, and went to Lumen Island first.
The big boat could not be near the reef island, and his father-in-law was careful, so he made two small boats for his son and him.
One of them was almost finished when he came yesterday, and he said he would be able to get it done today.
Originally, Zhang Ze was not in a hurry, but the popularity of the small shop was unexpected, so let's see if it is done.
When he is done, he can go to the reef to pry oysters, where there are too many resources, and it is easy to pry a basket.
When I came to my father-in-law's house, I saw a small boat with a length of two meters and five at the door at the door.
The boat is very simple to make, with three planks sandwiched between two layers of foam.
This boat can be capsized by a larger wind and waves, but there is no problem with going up to the isolated island.
Zhang Ze thought that the boat would be heavier, but when he lifted it, he found that it was very light, and if it wasn't too big, he would be able to carry it alone.
But also, how can they pull it from the sea to the boat if it is too heavy, and the weight of the boat will increase a lot if it is soaked in water.
When the old man saw that he needed to use the boat, he helped call two people, and he and Zhang Qinghe carried the boat to the fishing boat on the pier.
Bidding farewell to his father-in-law, Zhang Ze started the fishing boat, preparing to go to the side where the ground cage was put to have a look, and then go to the reef island to dig oysters.
Last night, he put the ground cage in the mangrove forest along the coast of Yuewan County, which specializes in breeding blue crabs, and put it relatively hidden, hoping that it would not be discovered.
Fortunately, the place he was looking for was indeed hidden, and with the rope tied to the trunk of the tree, the ground cage was completely immersed in water, so it was not easy to find even if others approached.
Zhang Qinghe was stunned and looked at the blue crabs almost crawling in the ground cage: "It's too exaggerated, can you catch so many cockles with one net?" ”
"Yes, no one catches cockles on our side, and they are flooded everywhere." Zhang Ze also sighed, he had this resource for fishing in his previous life, and he could wake up with a smile in his dreams.
This time the location is good, and the blue crab in a ground cage is poured out, and there are at least sixty or seventy catties.
Zhang Ze asked Zhang Qinghe to sail to the reef island, took a bundle of straw rope himself, and began to tie up these blue crabs.
Blue crabs are fierce and bite each other in broad daylight. And if he doesn't tie it up, if he is not there, it is not easy to catch them in the store, and it is easy to be trapped.
Zhang Ze left the big and fleshy one.
The average size of the big blue crab was more than one pound before, which he slowly selected in the past few months, and there are still more than two hundred pounds in the space at present.
Originally, I thought it was quite a lot, but judging from the current business of the small shop, there must be an outbreak period, and more than 200 catties is definitely not enough.
So now he even wants smaller blue crabs, as long as they are fat.
When he went back, he had to teach Zhang's mother a statement, at present, the five cents of the spiced blue crab is a store opening discount, and then it will be calculated by catty, and the money will be calculated according to the weight of the blue crab.
Otherwise, there is still a small part of five or six taels a pound in his space, and even the big blue crab that grows to two pounds is calculated at this price, and he will be the one who loses.
Throw the too small and too thin blue crabs in the bamboo basket back into the water, and the remaining blue crabs are estimated to be more than 30 catties.
Among them, the big ones and the small ones were all packed into the space, leaving about a dozen catties and a catty.
But there are still a large number of blue crabs in the space of about one catty, Zhang Ze thought about it, and finally took out forty of them, and it should be no problem to get together fifty catties at night.
After lifting the bamboo basket full of blue crabs and moving it to a cool place, Zhang Ze picked up a knife and put a basket on his back and prepared to get off the boat to pry oysters.
It took more than an hour to tie the blue crabs, and it didn't take so long to drive a boat to the reef island, so Zhang Qinghe had already taken a small boat to the reef island to dig oysters and pick scallops.
He also opened the price of one or two oysters and two cents and three scallops.
After coming to Wenshui City, Zhang Qinghe knew that the little money his family had saved in the countryside for a year was not forbidden to spend at all, so he didn't have much of the heart to find his mother-in-law.
is going to follow what Zhang Ze arranged for him, first rent a house to make money and stabilize it, so this will be called an uplift.
"Aoga, row the boat over, I'm busy here!"
"Okay, here!"
Zhang Qinghe straightened up and replied when he heard the shout, put the knife in his hand into the back basket next to him, and then walked on the boat and rowed over to pick up people.
He rowed with a bamboo pole rather than an oar, so even if he hadn't rowed before, he would be able to get started for the first time, but at a slower pace.
After he came, Zhang Ze walked on the boat and took the bamboo pole in his hand, rowed closer to the shallow water area and stretched directly to the bottom, and the speed of the boat supporting the reef under the water was much faster.
After coming to the reef and securing the boat, they dispersed.
Zhang Qinghe returned to his place, Zhang Ze looked around, found a good place and began to pry oysters.
Don't look at a large reef densely packed with oysters, but the particularly large ones are not as many as expected, and basically the two of them will have to change positions after a while.
So this thing has to be farmed, and the early stage of the wild is fine, but after a long time, others have begun to imitate it, and it is not easy to stabilize the supply.
Therefore, Zhang Ze pried and pryed, and began to exude thoughts in his mind again, wondering if he was getting something else.
What is the most stable resource in the sea compared to shellfish resources?
Naturally, there are two largest quantities of small yellow croaker and hairtail fish on his side, and the small yellow croaker is still quite fragrant when grilled.
Wrap the fish in flour and fry it, not to mention.
Zhang Ze felt that he had a chance to give it a try, to his family and to his neighbors, and to listen to their views and ideas.
However, there is no need to rush this matter, and the supply of oysters and scallops can still be stable for the time being.
After prying here, Zhang Ze continued to change places, and he would carefully look for scallops along the way.
However, this time the scallops were not found, but two large snails were picked up.
He didn't ask for this thing when he went to sea last year, but it seems like he could get some back.
By the way, there is also the fragrant snail that he likes to eat, whether it is salted or braised and it tastes great.
So Zhang Ze's painting style changed abruptly, he stopped prying oysters, and began to look for all kinds of snails with good taste everywhere.
Searching for the location of a number of volcanic barnacles, he found that there were many small abalone living in them.
The small abalone is just a folk saying, its scientific name is the snail, and it likes to be attached to the reef.
It's not big, it's basically the size of a dollar coin in later generations.
This thing is delicious, Zhang Ze immediately took a knife and pried it.
"Aze, what are you doing?"
Zhang Qinghe, who worked hard to get a basket of oyster scallops, saw Zhang Zedong walking around and taking a look, so he came over to take a look with curiosity and took a rest by the way.
When he got closer, he saw that he was prying something in the shape of a hat, so he squatted next to him and asked curiously.
Zhang Ze explained: "I'm making small abalone, this means that it's very good, you can also pry some and take it back at night and fry it, or scallion oil." ”
"Delicious? Then I'll get some too. Hearing that it tasted good, Zhang Qinghe didn't care about resting, and immediately came to the side and started to pry, so that he didn't have to go grocery shopping at night.
It's just that he took the knife and pulled it a few times to the small abalone's slit, and the little abalone not only didn't pry it off, but sucked it tighter.
He thought that such a small thing would fall off when he touched it, but he didn't know that it would be like an oyster when he pried it up.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Ze, that's right, he did pry the little abalone lightly and it fell, what's the matter?
So he got another one, and it still sucked very tightly.
"Aze, what's going on, why are you prying it so easily?"
"This, look at me," Zhang Ze said, picked up the knife and put it on the side of the little abalone, and then pried it off accurately and quickly before the little abalone could react, and fell to the ground.
"Little abalone, when you touch it, it reacts and then clung to the reef to protect itself. So you have to hurry up and take advantage of it carelessly. When you're not prepared, take a step to get it down. ”
Zhang Qinghe suddenly said, it turned out to be like this!
