Chapter 39: The Fishmonger
Almost, five in the morning.
It's not dawn yet.
The third uncle, Li Zhengfa, had already driven the fishing boat into Sharp Wharf.
At this point, there are actually several fishing boats that came earlier than them, and they have already unloaded their cargo at the dock.
Fortunately, not all of them are fishing boats that catch pike crabs, and two of them are engaged in hairtail fish, otherwise if the number of pike crabs is too large, the fishmongers will lower the price.
Hairtail fish is also produced in large quantities in the local area.
As long as the season comes.
Often a trawl is also a whole boat.
The hairtail fish is the most bizarre of the four sea fish, the big yellow croaker, the small yellow croaker is caught less and less, and the hairtail fish has a large number of catches every year, but there is no decrease.
It can only be said that the reproductive ability is too strong.
After waiting at the dock for about half an hour, it was their turn to unload, Sharp Pier has a special boom, when unloading, as long as you pay two yuan for the fishing boat berthing and loading and unloading fee, there will be a master to help you hang the fish down.
Just as they had lowered the crabs, there was a quarrel between the boat boss and the fishmonger in front of them.
"You have a problem with this scale, I weighed it on the ship, obviously every 100 pounds, how did I get to you, there are 70 left."
"Is it good that crabs will spit water, it's normal to drop the scale."
"I've been out of water for hours, and I'm going to vomit it out long ago."
The fishmonger pulled down his face on the spot and said as a scoundrel:
"Then do you want to sell it, you have to feel that there is a problem with my scale, you can pull it to other docks to sell it, if the crab dies halfway, it can't be sold at a high price, don't blame me."
The boat boss had a dark face, and he wanted to punch the fishmonger, but after weighing it, he sold all the pike crabs to the fishmonger.
But for Li Zhengfa, he has become accustomed to this scene, even in the fishing team, it is the same, how many catties of seafood, whether the seafood is fresh or not, it all depends on the inspectors' mouths.
In the past few years after opening up, the collusion of interests has become more obvious, and since that fishmonger dares to do such a blatant manipulation of the scales at the dock, it proves that there must be someone behind it.
There is no way for foreign fishermen like them to encounter this kind of land snake, and this is not only the territory of others.
Seven inches of his own were pinched by others.
If you don't sell it to him, you can pull it to another pier, maybe the crab will die halfway through, and no one can guarantee that the fishmonger at the next pier will be better than this man.
Maybe it's worse?
And Li Duoyu, as a reborn person, even if he has the experience of two lives, he has no way to encounter this situation.
But when he gave up.
only to find that a newsstand near the pier had opened so early.
With the mentality of trying it out, Li Duoyu came to the newsstand and asked:
"Uncle, on your side, is there any Rongcheng Daily from half a month ago?"
"What day?"
"September 20th."
"I'll look for it."
The uncle untied the pile of newspapers that had not been sold in time, and then rummaged through and found the newspapers of that day.
"There's just one left."
But when the uncle picked up the newspaper and saw the group photo, he looked at Li Duoyu suddenly.
"Isn't this newspaper you?"
Li Duoyu nodded.
"No wonder when I see you, it feels a little familiar." The uncle continued: "This newspaper will not charge you money, and will be delivered to you directly." ”
"Thanks, uncle."
After Li Duoyu got the newspaper, he found that the fishmonger was about to finish trading with the boss of the previous boat, and it was their turn immediately.
I hurriedly went back to the cabin to change into clean clothes, washed my face, put on the thick watch, and then cut out the photo with the leader with scissors and put it in a plastic wallet.
Afterwards, Li Duoyu swaggered to the dock and found that the third uncle was negotiating the price with the fishmonger.
"You still charge him a dime and two for a pound in front of you, how can you get to me, it will become a dime."
The fishmonger's expression of not selling: "Whoever arrives first will have a high price, I will collect so many crabs from you, and I will have to take the risk, okay." ”
The third uncle had a bitter face:
"Then why don't you do this, make a compromise, can't you do it for a dime?"
The fishmongers refused on the spot:
"I don't like to bargain with others, or that sentence, if you don't want to sell, move the crabs, there are a lot of people behind you to sell."
"Forget it......" Just when the third uncle was about to agree, Li Duoyu walked over.
"Ahem."
"Comrade Zhengfa, why didn't you tell me about selling pike crabs first?"
The third uncle looked at Li Duoyu in a daze.
When did this kid change into clean clothes, and ...... What do you call him comrade to do?
But when he saw the group photo of the leader that Li Duoyu showed him behind him.
It was understood in an instant.
The third uncle sneered: "This kind of small thing, how can you be embarrassed to trouble the leader?" ”
"I didn't even thank you for driving a fishing boat to accompany me to touch the basic fish conditions in the Sharp Sea."
Leadership?
The fishmonger looked at the young man in front of him in confusion, dark and unsoothed, where did he look like a leader.
Which of the leaders he saw was not ****, white and sven?
But the black is a little darker, but the posture he puts on is indeed a bit similar to the leaders he knows.
For a while, the fishmongers couldn't handle it, what if?
He smiled and handed over a cigarette:
"Hello comrade, where are you from?"
Li Duoyu waved his hand: "Pai write, I don't smoke, I am from the Fisheries Research Institute under the Rongcheng Fishery Bureau, and I just happened to come out with this fishing boat to inspect the fish situation these days." ”
The fishmonger took back the cigarette in embarrassment, and the young man obviously smelled of cigarettes, so he couldn't look down on his cigarettes.
"It turned out to be a comrade from the Fisheries Research Institute, your Director Zhang, or our Sharp."
Li Duoyu: "......"
No wonder those honest boat bosses can't fight him, this fishmonger is too ghostly.
If it weren't for the fact that in the reception room that day, I read a lot of award-winning materials of the research institute and knew that the director's surname was Zheng, I am afraid that I would have been caught up by this fishmonger.
"Director Zhang, where is Director Zhang, our director's surname is Zheng."
The fishmonger slapped his thigh:
"Alas, look at my memory, that's right, it's Director Zheng."
When the fishmonger saw that the other party did not look like he was pretending, he sneered:
"Comrade, you should also know that it is not easy to do our business, every time you harvest the seafood, pull it to the city to sell, maybe it will be broken more than half, if you don't have a little ninety-nine, the pants will be lost, since you have come forward, your friend's pike crab, I will give him a new scale, the price is the same as the previous home, you see if it works."
Li Duoyu said righteously: "I also know that you are not good, but now that we are in the early stage of opening up, we must pay more attention to honest management, otherwise you alone will lose the reputation of the entire Sharp Pier, and in the end it is you Sharp people who will suffer." ”
"Understood, comrade said so."
At this moment, the third uncle Li Zhengfa was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, and he felt that Li Duoyu in front of him seemed to have completely changed as a person.
How to speak official language one by one.
Not long ago, Zhu Xiuhua kept telling him that the words that Duoyu said to the leader were all taught by his uncle Chen Dongqing.
But when I look at it today, it doesn't look like it.
Not only is this kid eloquent, but he also scares the fishmonger to death.
At this time, the eldest uncle happened to get off the boat, and after seeing Li Duoyu's dress, he thought that he had just caught a day's fish and was going out to play, so he scolded:
"It's only been a day of crabs, why do you want to go out to play, and we'll leave when we sell out, it's impossible to wait for you."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu and the third uncle Li Zhengfa were quite embarrassed, and the fishmonger's face was also very dark, and he found that he seemed to have been deceived.
At this time, there was an open plastic wallet, which just fell on the side of his shoe, and you can clearly see the photo of this young man taking a photo with the big leader.
"I'm sorry, I dropped my wallet."
