Chapter 648: Buying fish at the point of sale, understanding the market price

"Um"

"The price of spotted sea bream is average. I keep a few for myself and sell the rest at the purchasing point."

"Tomorrow morning I will go to He Juanjuan's house, ask for Wang Xianzhi's home phone number, and then call him to see what seafood to leave for him."

"By the way, ask them if there is anything they want from the catch this time, and then make arrangements."

Chen Hui also lowered his head and started thinking about the arrangements.

"Well, that's okay too."

An Wenjing nodded.

Seeing Chen Huihong sitting aside silently, he went over and asked, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you seasick?"

"No, I just feel a little nauseous."

"Maybe the sun was too strong at noon on the shore and I got a little heatstroke."

"It's okay. We have some cooling tea at home. Just drink two cups when you get home."

Chen Huihong smoothed her chest, waved her hand and said.

"Aunt, let's go inside and I'll scrape the sha for you. You'll feel better after that." An Wenjing suggested.

"Sister! I feel a little dizzy too. I want to grab it too!"

An Wenyi came up to him with a smile.

I feel a little dizzy, but it’s just for fun.

"Okay, I'll grab one for you too. Let's go in together." An Wenjing said with a smile.

"Drink some water first. I have some herbal tea in the kettle."

"People who suffer from heat stroke should drink more water to dissipate the heat."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took out a kettle from his cloth bag and handed it to her.

Chen Huihong drank half of it.

Went into the cabin with sister An Wenjing.

Chen Hui looked around at his harvest again.

I have to say, it’s a great idea to give yourself a row of hooks.

Every time you pull it up, you don’t know what will come out. Going out to play feels like opening a blind box.

It also provided a good supplement to his golden finger which could only sense prey based on size.

"Uncle, when we get back this time, shall we go get another thousand hooks?"

"The fishing net is hard to pull, but the row hook is pretty easy to handle."

"As long as you put enough hooks, the difference between them and fishing nets won't be too big."

"This fishing boat is used to go out to the near sea. The fish are alive when they come back, and the price is still good."

Chen Hui walked into the cab and started chatting with Wu Shuisheng.

"Sure, this isn't difficult to do."

Wu Shuisheng nodded.

"The bait is a bit troublesome. I have to order it from Wu Jiankang in advance every time." Chen Hui said.

"You don't have to use this kind of fish. It's easier to catch bigger fish with live fish and live shrimp. It's a good omen for your first trip out to sea."

"Normally, you can use clam meat or earthworms."

"You can ask the children in the village to dig earthworms. Ten earthworms cost ten cents. They can make several dollars in an afternoon."

As Wu Shuisheng was speaking, he suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud.

When they met, he looked puzzled and said with a smile:

"One year, Ah Hai took Da Bao and Xiao Bao to dig, and he only gave them five cents for ten fish. This man cheated even his own son."

Chen Hui also shook his head after hearing this, "That's too much. Uncle Hui must tell them the truth next time."

"Brother-in-law, look at me!"

An Wenyi came out of the cabin and shouted loudly to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui walked out and saw a long thin sha on An Wenyi's forehead. "Are you pretending to be Erlang Shen?"

"What god?"

"My sister said these are the seven fairies in the sky." An Wenyi said seriously.

Chen Huihong also came out of the cabin.

There are black and red lumps all over the neck.

The sha scratched in the middle of the eyebrow was red and black, and looked more conspicuous than An Wenyi's.

Chen Hui couldn't hold it in anymore, and he held onto Chen Huihong's shoulders, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

"What are you laughing at? Tell me, what are you laughing at?" "What are you laughing at me for? You must be laughing at me!"

Chen Huihong was puzzled by his laughter.

After asking for a long time and seeing that Chen Hui didn't say anything, I simply ignored him.

The fishing boat swayed towards the dock, and the sun gradually set in the sky.

The afterglow of sunset filled the entire sea.

An Wenyi, An Wenjing and Chen Huihong stood beside the fishing boat, staring blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Chen Hui drank the cold tea from the kettle.

Looking at these three people, I feel particularly happy.

"Chen Hui, we are about to enter the port."

"Just look at both sides when the time comes." Wu Shuisheng shouted.

Although the boat is driven by an experienced crew member, there is basically no chance of scratching others.

But working habits require that someone still has to be on board to take care of the situation.

"understood!"

Chen Hui responded loudly and screwed the kettle on and put it away.

Stand on the bed and look to the left and then to the right.

Wait for the fishing boat to dock steadily.

"Let's take the things to the purchasing point and sell them first, and then borrow Li Jiankang's tricycle to transport the water tanks." Wu Shuisheng said.

"Okay, by the way, I'd also like to find out the price of fish sold at the dock." Chen Hui nodded.

"Wait a minute, I'll pick some fish to eat at night so I don't have to spend money to buy more."

As Chen Huihong spoke, she brought over a small net bag that Chen Hui used when going into the sea.

I took two big incense sticks and two stone nine-gong incense sticks.

"Let's get something else. Bring a few of the spotted ones home and each of us can have one tonight."

"I haven't eaten this white wax fish before. I'd like one of these, too."

Chen Hui opened the net bag and added several more fish into it.

Then, together with Wu Shuisheng, they moved the fish baskets and water tanks without oxygen off the fishing boat and sent them to Li Jiankang's purchasing point.

There are many fishing boats returning to the port at this time.

Li Jiankang was busy collecting fish. He glanced at the fish basket and said casually, "These are all parrots. There are not many stone nine-eared breams. I'll charge 60 cents per pound."

"Sixty cents is too little." Wu Shuisheng pulled Li Jiankang and said in a low voice.

Li Jiankang turned around and saw that it was Wu Shuisheng.

He smiled and put the basket and the fish on the scale.

Pointing to the number on the scale, he said, "It's 77 jins and 8 liangs in total. I'll give it to you for 47 yuan."

After saying that, he hurried off to weigh fish for others.

"Only 60 cents per pound? That's only over 40 yuan?"

Chen Hui pointed at the full basket of fish and said disappointedly.

"This basket is very heavy. He didn't deduct the weight of your fish basket, so it's more than 70 cents per pound."

"This is only the first basket. Forty-something dollars is not bad."

"Forty-something dollars is enough to buy diesel for many trips out to sea."

Unlike Chen Hui, Wu Shuisheng looked very happy.

As he spoke, he poured the fish into the fish basket at the purchasing point.

He walked towards the fishing boat with the empty fish basket.

"Hey!"

Chen Hui let out a sigh of relief.

I felt in my heart that working diligently to make money is indeed the least profitable.

The two men returned to the fishing boat and moved the fish in the tank to Li Jianshe's stall.

Wu Shuisheng shouted confidently: "Jianshe, come over first, it's mine."

"Cousin, what good stuff did you get?"

Li Jianshe joked and said he took a look.

He looked at Wu Shuisheng in surprise and said, "Is this what you got back with the hooks this time? So many good things!?"

"Hehe, why don't you say we are lucky?" Wu Shuisheng said with a proud smile.
