Chapter 197: Putting the Price Up
After the gunshots rang out.
The boobies were all scared away, and none of them dared to stay on the fishing boat.
Li Duoyu glanced at the boobies that Brother Lobby knocked down, it should be a brown boobies, a large seabird, no smaller than a chicken.
Adult boobies can grow up to about 70 centimeters, this bird has a tan back and a white belly, and their claws are about the same as a duck's paw due to swimming in the sea.
Li Duoyu remembers that when he was a child, there were still many such seabirds on the West Coast Reef and East Armor Reef near Dandan Island.
But in those days, fishermen had to hand over the fish they caught for distribution.
And this seabird is not in the plan, plus the boobies are very large, with a lot of meat, and the eggs are quite large.
So some fishermen who want to eat meat will go to these reefs to set traps and steal birds' eggs.
As a result, within two years, the brown boobies disappeared directly from the West Corner Reef, and there was no trace of these boobies in the coastal waters.
Li Shuguang picked up a boobies and handed it to Li Duoyu: "Do you want one, the meat is roasted and eaten, it's pretty good." ”
Li Duoyu shook his head: "You shot this time, the meat is full of those small particles, and it can't be handled well, and it bites and wants to break your teeth." ”
His cousin's gun was an earthen gun, and when he fired a gun, he had to pour that kind of small particles into the muzzle, which was a bit like a shotgun, but it was not so powerful, and could only be used to hit birds and small animals.
Li Shuguang said with a little disgust: "Give you food, and pick seven or eight, if you don't want it, I will give it to Xiaochao and the stone." ”
"Give them to them, I don't eat birds."
The main reason is that Li Duoyu has really eaten brown boobies before, this kind of bird because of the perennial seafood sake, the bird meat is a little sassy, and it really doesn't taste as good as chicken.
As a senior farmer, he knows very well that a lot of game is not necessarily better than farming, and most of them have a smell.
The mackerel and mackerel were directly eaten up after being jointly attacked by the sea, land and air forces, and in the end not even a small fish escaped.
Look at the sea that has quieted down.
The stone couldn't help but ask, "Are we still fishing now?" ”
Li Duoyu glanced at today's catch, although there was the sixth child to disrupt the situation, but it was already a bumper harvest.
Looking at the thick horse watch on his wrist, it was already half past twelve.
The return trip will take another three hours.
It will be almost half past three in the afternoon when we get to the Qingkou Wharf, and if you go back at this point, the fishmongers at the wharf should not have withdrawn.
This time, there were no friends from overseas provinces to send them ice cubes, and if they went back late and the fish went bad, they would not be able to sell for a price.
"Let's go, let's go back."
After fishing for a few hours, Zhang Jinsha, whose arm was already a little numb, nodded hurriedly, he didn't want to work for Li Duoyu in vain.
The more you fish, the more you lose.
On the return trip.
Li Shuguang did not rely on Li Duoyu to lead the way, but took out the sextant that his father gave him when he was in the fishing team.
After seeing this thing, Li Duoyu was also a little surprised, in this era without GPS, if you want to fish in the open sea, you must learn to use a sextant.
And Li Shuguang's set should have been given to him by his father, when he became the captain of the fishing team, his uncle went to training and learned, and learned to use a compass and a sextant.
This thing is quite complicated, not only to measure, but also to calculate and refer to the nautical astronomical calendar.
Someone had told him before, but when he came into contact with fishing, the fishing boats were already equipped with GPS, so he never went to learn it.
Although my cousin doesn't have a high diploma and hasn't even graduated from junior high school, he often plays with fishing boats when he is a child.
Not long after.
He calculated the latitude and longitude, and then on a black-and-white global map, he marked the location of his fishing boats, and through the compass, he knew the specific direction of the mussel wharf on the spot.
Even Li Duoyu is ashamed of this hand, he can come to the open sea, with experience and feeling, as long as he leaves this sea area.
Li Duoyu is in the vast sea, and he will definitely lose his sense of direction, while his cousin has really calculated his position.
If you have this skill, you can go to a state-owned fishing company, and others will rush to ask for it, especially the recently emerging distant-water fishing company.
Before leaving.
Li Duoyu looked at the sea, there was no fishing boat in the blank sea, and he also brought a reply from Ma Xiumei's neighbor, but unfortunately he didn't meet the old man this time, otherwise he would have ordered a smoothie from him by the way.
After the fishing boats began to return home.
Everyone sat down on the deck and rested, and everyone brought some dry food with them.
Li Duoyu and the three of them ate the sandwiched meat cakes made by Chen Huiying, while Shi and Zhang Jinsha brought some triangular cakes and oil cakes.
But for coastal people, whether they eat dry food or eat, if there is no soup, they have no soul.
So, Li Duoyu became the leader of the gang and directly cooked a pot of miscellaneous fish soup with the remaining miscellaneous fish.
Dandan Island is very fond of drinking miscellaneous fish soup, and for Li Duoyu, it is not easy to buy pork in the era.
The soup they drink is almost all mixed fish soup, and when cooking, as long as some ginger shreds are added, it can not only remove the fishiness, but also warm the stomach.
After more than three hours of jolting at sea.
The fishing boat came to the mussel pier.
What everyone didn't expect was that the dock was quite lively today, with several fishing boats lining up and baskets of pike crabs piled up on the pier.
You don't have to think about it to know that the pike crab is hungry again in season, and the fishmongers are very busy at the moment.
There are also people who shouted with a megaphone: "Barracuda crab, one dime and two, eight points with fish, if you want to sell it, hurry up, and if it's late, no one wants it, so you can only pull it to make salty crabs." ”
Coincidentally.
Li Duoyu was here at the dock, and he actually met the tugboat of the third uncle's family, and the second uncle was carrying a basket of pike crabs from the boat to the dock.
It has been seven or eight days since the last time I saw the third uncle and them go to sea in the middle of the night.
According to the habit of the third uncle, when he returns to Qingkou Wharf to sell pike crabs, it will definitely be the last stop.
Because his cousin Li Yujun was arrested, the third uncle really worked hard throughout the year, and he didn't miss every seasonal seafood.
Although she also made a lot of money this year, the third aunt was worried that Yujun would be bullied inside, so every once in a while, she had to go to prison to send some cigarettes, alcohol and benefits to those who were in custody.
Most of the money earned is smashed on this, and there is not much left.
And the little black who sold the Buddha's head did not have such a good life, he was sentenced to nearly 30 years for selling cultural relics.
And their family didn't have much money in the first place, and after being sentenced to too many years, the family almost gave up on him.
I visited once a year, and after the visit, I didn't dare to go again, because people like them, who have no money to have a relationship, have the most no status in prison.
Li Duoyu knows this very well, even now, he can occasionally dream of the terrifying experience of being in prison in his previous life.
After seeing them, Li Duoyu shouted at them.
"Third uncle, second uncle, when did you come back?"
Li Zhengfa, the third uncle, who was carrying the pike crab, heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Li Duoyu not far away.
Seeing Li Duoyu on Li Shuguang's fishing boat, Li Zhengfa instantly knew where they had gone.
"Are you fishing in the open sea again, how many fish did you catch today?"
"Didn't catch much."
"Just some mackerel and groupers."
And Zhang Jicai, who was weighing the pike crab, hurriedly shouted at him after hearing that Li Duoyu had gone out to sea to fish.
"Duoyu, you haven't been patronizing my business for a long time, remember to sell me good goods, and the price is guaranteed to be satisfactory to you."
Lao Zhang shouted like this.
The other fishmongers at the dock were a little emotional on the spot: "Lao Zhang, it's not okay to do it in order, the fishing boats haven't docked yet, so you start to rob them." ”
Zhang Jicai replied: "According to the order of wool, my regular customers don't sell it to me, can I sell it to you." ”
"Fart, whether the one with the highest price is good or not, believe it or not, I'll put the price up, and see if the fish sells you."
Lao Zhang snorted:
"Come on, whoever is afraid of the price, I'm afraid that you won't dare to fight."
"Lao Zhang, you are becoming more and more arrogant."
Other fishmongers were also very helpless, because Lao Zhang had a relative who was a purchaser in the Foreign Trade Center Hotel, and he really had to fight the price, and they were the ones who suffered in the end.
Everyone's mouth cannon is a mouth cannon.
But these fishmongers still listen to unity, and there are rarely malicious bids and customer grabbing.
But today there is a young fishmonger named Li Ergou, who doesn't seem to eat their set, but plans to break the circle and try it.
Li Duoyu and their fishing boats had not yet docked, so Li Ergou passed through other fishing boats and jumped onto his fishing boat two or three times.
After seeing the big mackerel all over the ground.
Li Ergou's eyes widened, he picked up a mackerel, smelled it, touched it, and found that the mackerel was very fresh.
Immediately after, he saw the imported fishing rod placed aside, and Li Ergou couldn't help but ask, "You caught all these mackerel?" ”
Without waiting for Li Duoyu to answer, Zhang Jinsha took the lead and said: "Of course it's fishing, how can the mackerel that is netted up be so good-looking." ”
Li Ergou frowned and thought for a while, and asked Li Duoyu: "No matter how big or small, whether you sell it for one catty, three cents and five cents." ”
"If you sell them, I'll take them all."
Seeing that Li Ergou, a stunned young man who didn't talk about martial arts so much, and was calculating money with others, he was so angry that he scolded on the spot: "Ergou, your uncle, don't make trouble." ”
Then he shouted at Li Duoyu on the fishing boat; "No matter how much money Ergou pays, my old Zhang will add half a hair."
"Lao Zhang, you cow."
Li Ergou snorted: "I will directly give four cents, I don't believe it, you dare to add half a cent." ”
The fishmongers at the pier were very amused when they saw the two people bidding.
"Old Zhangshang, you can't be cowardly."
"Four cents and five, knock down the two dogs."
"Ergou, come on, take this big customer."
Some of the boat bosses, who were always being lowered by the fishmongers, also followed suit when they saw someone bidding.
"Don't be cowardly, put the price up."
"Damn, these profiteers are pressing our prices day by day, and now they're bleeding too."
Seeing that the people in the entire dock were coaxing, Zhang Jicai was a little embarrassed by being fucked like this, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he shouted: "Damn, I'll make four cents." ”
After hearing Lao Zhang's offer, there was a boo on the dock.
"It's not how much you say, how much the second dog says, you add half a hair, how can you add two points?"
Lao Zhang replied: "There is a kind of you coming." ”
Li Ergou thought for a while, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ma Dan, I'm out of four cents and three, I don't believe you still want it." ”
Lao Zhang shouted: "Four cents four, if you dare to shout four cents five, I will give it to you." ”
See the price soar to four cents.
Li Ergou glanced at the mackerel, which was very large and of good quality.
But when it comes to four cents, you can't make money after deducting the transportation fee, and you have to pay four cents and three cents.
Although he also wants Li Duoyu, a big customer, if he wants to do it again, he will tear his face with Lao Zhang.
Everyone is from the same pier, and there is really no need to look up and see what you look down.
"If you can't afford it, I'll give it to you."
Lao Zhang scolded and scolded: "Ergou, you kid did it on purpose, raise your hand, you're very happy, isn't it." ”
Li Ergou said: "No way, business is difficult to do, or you will give it to me." ”
"You want to be beautiful."
The stones on the fishing boat are a little unresponsive, usually mackerel is only sold for three cents at most, and the mackerel they catch is good, but it really doesn't reach four cents.
"Lao Sha, when did the mackerel become so expensive, more expensive than the big yellow croaker?"
Zhang Jinsha sighed: "It's not that mackerel is expensive, it's Li Duoyu's fish, so it's expensive to sell?" ”
"Ah, what do you mean?"
Zhang Jinsha glanced at the stone with disgust: "When you do business in the future, you will understand that not every order can make money." ”
But the higher the purchase price, Zhang Jinsha felt a lot of heartache, these mackerel combined, at least more than 600 catties.
According to the words of the four cents four acquisitions.
Nearly 300 pieces, and half a boatload of mackerel, he caught them.
If you choose a fishing package of 30 yuan today, you can not only save the fishing position fee, but also earn more than 100 yuan.
As for the clams he raised, how many catties he had to sell to earn more than a hundred.
And after Lao Zhang reported the price of four cents and four cents, he was also full of regret, this price was really too high, without counting the freight, he lost more than four points per catty.
And right now.
Li Duoyu lifted the two large buckets covered with tarpaulins: "Lao Zhang, there are still a lot of groupers here, do you want them?" ”
After seeing the grouper and sea bream in the bucket, Lao Zhang became excited.
"Then you don't have to think about it, you definitely want it."
"Duoyu, I lost a lot just now, you have to sell these fish to me cheaper, don't do it again."
Li Duoyu was a little embarrassed when he saw that the mackerel soared to four cents, and then raised the price of grouper and sea bream.
"No problem, the regular price will do."
Lao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Just some time ago, his nephew said that the hotel had made some live fresh ponds and wanted a batch of live seafood.
If he sells these groupers and snappers to his nephew, he should be able to even out the loss of mackerel.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhang brought several baskets and loaded all the mackerel of Li Duoyu and seven baskets.
"The mackerel is 625 pounds."
"Four cents per catty."
"275 blocks"
"These groupers and snappers, all six cents."
"185 pounds, 111 pieces."
"386 pieces in total."
The boat bosses on the dock, after hearing this price, all gasped and began to discuss.
"Is it so profitable to fish in the open sea?"
"Such a small ship earns more than us."
Li Zhengfa on the side was really envious when he saw the more than 30 pieces of unity in Li Duoyu's hand.
He took a group of people to sea for seven days, and only sold more than 600 yuan at the end of the head, deducting the cost of fuel, food, and crew salaries, and less than 100 yuan came to him.
And I just listened to Li Shuguang, and I earned more than that, but also the fishing fee of Stone and Zhang Jinsha, a total of thirty yuan.
In other words, Li Duoyu's net profit on this day was more than 400 yuan, which was four times that of him.
Come to think of this.
Li Zhengfa couldn't help sighing, is he getting old, and he is going to be eliminated by the current young people.
The two chapters were merged into one chapter, and a part of the (river crab) plot was deleted.
The river crab part is about shark fishing and touches on some shark-related topics (Kamaki).
In fact, China has never been a shark fishing country, and it does not even have a 100% catch.
But at the beginning, he was put on a big hat by the white glove environmental organization, saying that sharks were eaten and exterminated by us.
At that time, a group of people who were fooled and lame also stood up for environmental protection organizations, saying that it was cruel to eat shark fin and shark skin.
In fact, China has always been a downstream industry for sharks, and shark fin is also a leftover material that others don't want, so they are sold to us.
I won't talk about the specifics, I'm afraid that this place will be harmonious, and you can search for it yourself.
