Ah Cai was disappointed and envious at the same time. What kind of luck was this? It was his turn and all the good things came to his door.
Fresh squid is not cheap to begin with. How much does it cost to dry it? There are actually people who have made reservations in advance. Isn’t this a stable and risk-free business?
I'm so angry. It's getting harder and harder to make money from this guy.
Damn it, if he hadn't thought about the good relationship, he would have wanted to curse.
All the agreed goods were collected by him, but he kept this one and that one home. He didn't confiscate much of the goods all year round. He had to sell the cheap ones by himself, sell the ones ordered by the boss, and sell the large quantities by himself. Why? What should be sold to him are all junk and unwanted things?
"A Dong, is this the boss who came from last time's great liberation?"
"Do you want more? If you want, we can also show it..."
"Yes, yes, as long as the price is right, we can also show you more and sell them to other bosses..."
"Yes, yes, we can catch squid every day, and we can dry them every day..."
"Do you have enough quantity? You are a big business person. These quantities should not be enough. We have them. We can leave them all to you..."
"Yes, we can keep it home and dry it all for you..."
"Just say something if you need it, and we'll dry it for you. It'll be easy for you, you don't have to dry it yourself..."
Ye Yaodong looked dumbfounded as he watched a group of villagers talking at random. Ah Cai's face became darker and darker, and the face of A Gui who was watching the fun also turned dark.
If everyone keeps it home to show off, how much money will they earn?
The best time to make money is during the flood season.
Blocking people's way of making money is like killing their parents!
But who do the folks care about this?
If it's dried, the price for it has to be higher than the fresh price, right? Otherwise, who will show it?
As long as the price is high, a lot of people will be willing to sell it to him. If the price is a little higher, there will be people willing.
What's more, everyone also knows that other people have made money by drying and selling dried fish to him before. Now that there are bosses asking for it, of course they all take the initiative.
If you make money, who will care whether you are honest or not?
Ye Yaodong really felt a little embarrassed. It didn't matter that he kept his own goods at home to show off. Although the quantity was large, it was reasonable. Who gave him access to it?
But if we take the villagers over, we will really offend people, and we can't cut off other people's wealth no matter what.
He didn't even ask Azheng and the small fishing boat to keep the goods for him, so how could he let these villagers go home and show them to him.
He smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't get excited, everyone. I can go back to my own home and enjoy the sun. I don't need to trouble everyone for the time being..."
"No trouble, no trouble, we are not afraid of trouble..."
"Yes, yes, we are not afraid of troublesome you, just let us know if you need anything..."
"Yeah, you're welcome, fellow countrymen, if you need anything, just ask and we'll show it to you..."
"No, I've counted enough. I still have one ship's worth of goods that I want to keep. That ship has been entrusted to my eldest and second brothers, so their goods have to be left to me as well. It's one or two thousand kilograms today. This amount is enough for me to show off, so I appreciate everyone’s kindness and will talk to you if you need it in the future.”
He quickly spoke without even breathing, and everyone was so enthusiastic that Cai and Gui stared at each other and wanted to eat people.
After hearing what they said, the two of them felt relieved and the expressions on their faces became better.
If they want to keep their own ship's cargo, they can keep it. After all, there are still villagers' cargo. If the quantity is small, just a little less. At least you can have some soup, and there are also cargoes from other fishing boats.
If this was all stopped, then they wouldn't have to do it anymore.
Ah Cai said relaxedly: "Well, you are a salty fisherman. You have to make any money. I have earned all the money for you. At least you can still leave some soup for us."
"No, I only kept my own goods. The folks were too enthusiastic. I didn't ask them to keep Azheng's goods next to them. I gave them all to you. How can I block your way of making money? Hello, I'm good ,Hello everyone."
"Yes, hello, hello, hello, everyone. Come on, come on, the cart has been pushed over for you, you can lift it down yourself."
"I'll lend you your scale to weigh me later. You're not busy right now, are you?"
Ah Cai was depressed, even if he couldn't earn any money from him, he still had to make things easier for him, because he was his son's savior, otherwise he would just turn around and ignore him.
"It's not very busy. They don't have a lot of goods. If you want to weigh it, hurry up. Otherwise, we won't have time to lend it to you when the big ship comes back."
He waved his hand and walked inside with his hands behind his back, keeping out of sight.
"Okay, then I'll make a quick decision. I still have a few baskets of trawling goods in the evening and I'll weigh them for you later."
While talking, he and his eldest cousin carried baskets of goods off the boat. The folks nearby were also very enthusiastic and probably had expectations. Everyone was happy to help.
When his goods were lifted off the boat, everyone helped to pick them up and carry them onto the cart.
The eleven baskets could not be stacked on the cart, so they were stacked. Everyone helped to hold them up, and they were pushed to the collection point in one trip.
Immediately afterwards, the villagers actively pushed the cart to the shore and continued to move Father Ye's cargo.
Everyone gathered firewood, and Ye Yaodong was the only one who had the ability. Needless to say, there were so many villagers who took the initiative to help.
Ye Yaodong counted the cargo of the two ships separately, but in order not to waste other people's cargo lists, the goods of the two ships were recorded on the same list.
"When my eldest and second brothers get their goods back, I'll have to trouble you again and lend you your scale."
"Use it, use it, use it once, use it twice."
"Okay, thank you. I originally thought that if you weren't happy with it, you could just let them push it home. We could just weigh it on a large steel scale. It's more convenient for you, so I'll just let you weigh it here."
Ah Cai couldn't explain why he was even more depressed.
After Ye Yaodong finished weighing, he said hello to his friends and asked them to go back first. He also asked his father to push him back first while he watched from here.
However, the villagers were still very enthusiastic and donated their own carts one after another, saying that they would help him push it back.
"That's it. Thank you very much. I'm sorry to bother you all..."
"No trouble, no trouble. What trouble do you fellow villagers have?"
"We all dropped in. Your family lives by the beach anyway, so it's easy to drop by..."
"Yes, we have sold out the goods and are about to go back. I will help you send them back on the way. You have so many baskets that you have to go back and forth several times. If they are stacked, it will easily turn over if you are not careful, and you will be in trouble."
"Okay, that's going to trouble you."
Everyone was smiling and actively helped him lift the baskets of squid onto the board, one cart at a time, without fear of being confused with their own goods.
Anyway, what they left home were all miscellaneous, useless goods that couldn't be mixed together.
Everyone talked and laughed along the way, and inquired about things they wanted to know.
"Ah Dong, how much do you plan to sell your dried squid?"
"Our brigade used to dry it, but not many people wanted it. Most of it was left to the village during the New Year and digested by ourselves."
"It costs five kilograms to sell one kilogram, right? Then you can't sell it for two or three yuan?"
"Ah? Two or three yuan is too expensive, isn't it? Is there anyone willing to buy it? We can't bear to buy it for a few cents, but there are still people who are willing to buy it for two or three yuan? Can this be eaten?"
"Why can't we eat it? Just because we are reluctant to spend money doesn't mean that people in the city are reluctant to spend money. Don't talk nonsense. If the boss wants it, then there must be someone in the city who will buy it."
"Haha~"
Ye Yaodong felt a little dizzy when he heard everyone walking and talking, so he couldn't help but remain silent.
"I don't know how much it will sell for. It depends on how much the boss is willing to pay. Let's show it out first and see. It should be dry in two or three days under the hot sun, right? Are you sure you can get one pound for five pounds?"
"Of course it's confirmed. We've all done it in the past few years and we've done the math."
Others also echoed, "It's almost five pounds to one pound of dried cuttlefish. Some of the cuttlefish meat is thick, some are thin, some are big, and some are small. The difference is not much different."
Father Ye also said from the side: "It's almost the same. If you weigh five pounds or more than five pounds, you can get a pound of weight."
He nodded. It would be convenient if he could know in advance how many kilograms will be produced. He can calculate in advance how many kilograms will be produced, how much it will cost, and how much it will sell for.
In the recent sunny weather, it can be dried in two or three days. If you think about it, call Boss Zhou and negotiate the price. If you are sure you want more tomorrow, he can continue to dry it tomorrow.
You have to wait two or three days to show it, calculate the price, negotiate and ship it to others, and then continue for another two or three days.
If you show your goods for one or two more days, you can earn one or two more days of money.
I just asked Ah Cai, and today he received 33 cents of squid. In terms of cost, the total of his and his father's two ships was 1,122 kilograms, and Ah Cai calculated it to be about 370 yuan.
Based on the ratio of five kilograms to one kilogram, the goods in the two ships can be calculated to be about 200 kilograms, and the cost is about one yuan. The labor does not cost much, but it still has to be spent.
Calculating, it must be sold for at least two yuan? This thing is inherently valuable, so you have to earn seven or eighty-nine cents per kilogram, right?
Otherwise, after all his troubles and the whole family working together, he still can't earn an extra one or two hundred yuan for knitting from two ships of goods?
Ye Yaodong was thinking in his mind. He would make a phone call after finishing the meal. The price could be quoted a little higher, but the price could not be too high to scare people away, thinking that he was not sincere. He still wanted to maintain a good trading relationship.
He also wants to sell all the goods that can be sold tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the next half month to others. Cashing out quickly is better than selling it slowly in a store.
Thinking about the daily goods, if you can earn one or two hundred yuan more, you will earn two to three thousand yuan more in half a month...
No, there are also goods from two ships from his eldest and second brother. It was agreed that their goods will be collected by him at the price of the day at the dock. If he collects them and exposes them, he can earn more than 100 yuan a day. That half That’s an extra four to five thousand a month!
These were all due to the change from fresh to dried. The price difference earned in the middle was not counting the value of the goods themselves. His own two boats could have sold for three to four hundred that day!
Wow, he was able to earn 91,000 in that half month, and his eldest and second brothers could still get 1/3 of it!
The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the more excited he became. With more ships, he would make money faster. In less than a month, he would be able to earn ten thousand... ten thousand...
But he didn't want to think about it. The product hadn't even been sold yet. It had only been caught on the first day. The boss hadn't reached an agreement yet, and he hadn't said whether he would need it every day in the future.
He has already calculated all the money for the next half month...
Too thoughtful...
