Chapter 548 Uncle Lin Also Has Ideas

Ye Mu looked at the baskets of toad fish piled in the open space, and was a little confused. She needed to invite more people.

"Dongzi, are you sure these dried fish can be sold after being dried? If you only have dozens or hundreds of kilograms, we can set up a stall, but isn't this too much?"

"Are you sure you want to continue drying it? Of these more than 1,000 kilograms, if ten kilograms are used to dry out two or three kilograms, this is still three to four hundred kilograms. In addition, there are so many kilograms that will continue to be dried tomorrow, so the amount will be even more Okay, how are you going to sell these seven or eight hundred catties? Isn’t the quantity too much?”

"What if I can't sell it? I have to throw it away. There is no place to pile it up."

On the side, Uncle Lin was carrying the basket and weighing it. He was surprised when he heard this, "Do you want to keep the toads to dry by yourself? No wonder I just said that they should be piled in the open space at the door. I thought it was because I was afraid that the purchase point would not be able to pile them up and it would be too crowded. .”

Ye Yaodong shrugged, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's only three-and-a-half pounds, Uncle Lin, how do you sell this? I'm heartbroken. It's so cheap that my grandma's house bought it. I can only sell these dozen baskets." Forty or fifty, it’s so worthless.”

Ah Cai interjected and added, "The quantity is too much, there is nothing we can do, everyone is paying the same price."

"Well, that's why I thought of using it to show off and sell it myself."

Uncle Lin pondered what he said to him, "Are you sure someone wants it? Is it easy to sell?"

"I'm not sure, I don't know. I've never sold it, but if it's so cheap, I'd like to give it a try. What if it sells well? If it doesn't sell, it doesn't matter. I won't lose much. Friends and family It’s a favor to give as a gift.”

Ye Yaodong was very wealthy and felt that with his current situation, he could still afford to lose one or two hundred yuan.

"So I plan to dry the goods for two or three days first, then go to sea tomorrow and work for another day, and take two days off the day after tomorrow to dry the nets. If there is any to dry, I will take advantage of my free time to transport two to three hundred kilograms first. Set up a stall at the entrance of the wholesale market."

Ah Cai interrupted again, "I think it's feasible. It depends on whether you're lucky enough to meet a bad guy. If you're not lucky, I guess you can sell some sporadically, and there will be a lot of people coming and going in the market."

"Well, let's talk about it later. Anyway, I'll keep these for today and continue to show them off."

Uncle Lin couldn't help but said: "If you show these, if they are easy to sell, remember to inform me, and let me take advantage of it, earn more money, and have another way to make money."

"Okay, it's easy to talk about. I usually rely on Uncle Lin to take care of me. If these toad fish can be sold for money after being dried, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, then uncle is waiting for you to make me rich."

"You're welcome, I still don't know what to do..."

Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Mother Ye felt that they seemed quite optimistic, and she couldn't help but feel that the difference shouldn't be much different.

If you still need to invite someone tomorrow, let’s invite another one!

Father Lin was a little reluctant to sell it after what he just said. After much hesitation, he crossed out the toad fish that had just been weighed.

Ah Cai's eyes widened, "I weighed everything, but you still crossed it out?"

"Haha, don't you think this is too cheap? Let's dry the fish for today's products and eat them at home first. I haven't dried the fish yet this year, so I'll dry some at home first."

Ah Cai rolled his eyes, could he still know what this old guy was planning?

Ouch, what a big loss!

If I had known better, I wouldn't have told that guy Ye Yaodong that dried fish is easy to sell and how much it can cost.

Now it seems that the quantity of goods he receives is getting smaller. Now he has to keep all the dried fish for himself. Will he have to make a lot less?

Although it is cheap and the profit is small, the profit is small but the turnover is high, and the quantity is large and the profit is still made.

Damn, it’s a disservice to yourself and others.

Hey, he is just too honest and sincere in his treatment of others. But if he has a dark heart and doesn't say that, he will lose a lot of money all of a sudden, and he may lose even more in the future.

If this really allowed Ye Yaodong to sell for a high price, this boy should have taken his seven aunts and eight aunts to dry the fish together, or collect the goods and sell them himself.

Grandma’s! Big loss!

Ye Yaodong also understood Uncle Lin's idea. He probably wanted to dry some in advance and put them there for preparation. If he could sell them for money here, they could follow immediately.

Father Ye smiled and spoke helpfully: "While it's cheap, there has been good weather recently. It's good to get more sun. If you want to eat, you can have it at any time. Who knows if there will be good weather next? If there is no good weather, you won't be able to eat." There are no side dishes.”

"That's what I said."

Ah Cai said angrily: "Okay, if you can paddle, just paddle, and then I'll take your toad fish away."

"Adong's side also hurriedly dragged him over to be weighed. He has been waiting here all night and hasn't eaten yet. He hastily finished his work and went back to eat. It's hard to wait in line for the car at such a late hour."

"Okay, right away."

Ye Yaosheng patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go and push that cart of toad fish home for you first, and then come out and push it again."

"Okay, go ahead and grab two and keep them for cooking. Let my mother go back with you and let her push them out later. You should go back early to eat."

"No, no, if you ask me to do the work, I will definitely have to finish all the work for you before I can leave."

"Well."

Ye Yaodong thinks that his cousin is really good. Bad bamboos produce good bamboo shoots. His second uncle is unprofitable and can't afford to start early. He is a very devilish person. The Asheng brother he raised is a good bamboo shoot, but he is a bit unlucky. .

Today, these items were sold for another 162 yuan and 30 cents. He also borrowed Ah Cai's scale and weighed the toads and fish. It was indeed a little more than yesterday, weighing 1,420 kilograms after deducting the bamboo basket.

Father Ye smiled and his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. Hearing Uncle Lin's constant praise, he quickly explained.

"I told you, part of it is from longline fishing. Dongzi put 1,000 hooks in it. That's why it's so late today. Otherwise, we could have come back earlier."

"There won't be so many tomorrow. All those row hooks have been taken back. Tomorrow I will only be able to sell them for tens or hundreds of yuan. I won't be able to go there the day after tomorrow. I have to collect the nets and come back for cleaning."

"Dongzi is becoming more and more capable and promising. He is also very courageous. He does more than others and earns more."

Father Ye quickly said modestly: "What's the future? There are more prospects in the village than him. Don't praise him. If you praise him, he will be proud. I will rely on you if you don't work."

"Hahaha~"

The two groups loaded their own goods onto their own trucks and made several trips back and forth before they were all finished.

Ye Yaodong also made two more trips than them. Not only did he catch more toads than them, he also had ten baskets of hooks.

He waited at the dock to look at the goods until the last delivery, and then he went home with him.

After returning home, before he stepped into the courtyard gate, he saw rows of bamboo flats standing against the wall in the open space in front of his elder sister-in-law's second sister-in-law's door, covered with large and small toads and fish, and the entire door was covered with toads and fish. .

"There are quite a few, are they all covered in sun?"

Mother Ye said: "Your yard is even fuller. I can't help it. There are so many that I can't fit them all in, so I just piled them up at the door of your two sisters-in-law's houses. Otherwise, I would be worried if they were piled outside. I'm afraid a few wild cats might pop up somewhere." Steal the fish."

"This is easy to do. Put up a few bamboo poles in the yard, stretch a few more lines, and hang them higher. After the fish are killed, you can put the lines through them and hang them up to dry. This also saves the use of bamboo flats and does not worry about the location of the drying. It’s too low and will be dragged away by wild cats.”

"Well, we can do this tomorrow and hang it up to dry. There is no place to dry it now."

They walked into the courtyard as they talked.

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly came forward and asked, "Are there so many toad fish at night?"

She was a little scared of killing. Although she had to kill a lot of fish every time she came back, she didn't kill as many as today.

After holding the kitchen knife all day, her hands felt a little shaky, and this was even when she was breastfeeding the baby and cooking and resting from time to time.

She had just washed her hands, but she still felt a heavy fishy smell on her body, and she had to take a shower later.

She would have to continue killing so many people tomorrow, and she heard that there would be more killings today, which made her feel a little numb.

"1,400 kilograms is one or two hundred kilograms more than yesterday. If you are too busy, please invite someone else early tomorrow morning. Mom said, just invite the next door neighbor."

When she heard that one more person was invited, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had to carry Ye Xiaoxi on her back all day today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to work.

As the months passed, the child became more and more active. She was able to crawl at just over seven months old, even if no one was watching her in the room.

When Ye Yaodong was talking, he also saw the strap on her body and quickly strode forward to look behind her.

"Why are you carrying her? You don't let her stay in the house at night?"

At this time, there was no special strap, but a large and long piece of wide blue coarse cloth.

Just wrap the child up and put it on the back, so that the child is close to the adult's back. Then the adult takes a coarse cloth and wraps it around the neck, then wraps it around the waist, and ties a knot.

"I don't have to worry about putting it down as soon as I finish my work. It's convenient to do things while carrying it on my back."

"Put her down, she's already asleep."

Lin Xiuqing tilted her head and glanced behind her, and realized that she was asleep. She smiled and said, "It's easier to sleep with this on my back. I don't cry, make trouble, or look for it."

"Well, just pile these fish in the yard first, cover them with rags, and kill them tomorrow. Some ice cubes have just been sprinkled inside."

"good."
