172. Chapter 172 Selling Fish and Renting Out Boat Space (Subscription Required)
Half past six in the evening.
The seagulls of Dandan Island flew across the sea, and the sunset turned the entire sky red.
However, Old Mi and Lao Zhuang, the two fishmongers on the dock, were in no mood to appreciate the beautiful sunset and night sky.
At this moment, they were all very anxious.
Most of the fishing boats on Dandan Island have returned, but Li Duoyu, who had promised to them, has not returned yet.
Old man Mi kept pacing on the dock.
"You haven't come back so late, so there won't be any problems."
Lao Zhuang frowned and looked at Old Man Mi.
"Don't talk nonsense."
At this point in the past, Old Man Mi would definitely not collect any more fish. He had already sailed to Rongcheng Pier to sell the fish he received today.
But because of the agreed reason, he was embarrassed and skipped the order directly, but it was indeed too late today.
He not only collects seafood from Li Duoyu, but also collects seafood from many other fishermen, some of which he collected in the afternoon.
If he didn't sell it quickly, it would probably break soon, so he was really anxious.
"I can't really beat the turtle, so I'm sorry to come back."
Lao Zhuang frowned and said: "Duoyu and Shuguang are not that kind of people. They will definitely come back if they agree with us. Maybe something delayed them."
Old Man Li kept looking at his luminous watch. After a while, he smoked four cigarettes.
At seven o'clock, he stood up suddenly and said, "It's too late, I'll leave first."
Lao Zhuang was shocked and said: "You won't accept it anymore?"
Old Man Mi sighed: "I'm different from you. You just send it to the county. I want to send it to the city. I can't afford to wait."
"Lao Zhuang, remember to tell him if there are many fish coming back later, I will wait until seven o'clock."
After Old Man Mi finished speaking, he drove his small fishing boat directly towards Rongcheng.
As soon as he stepped forward, a bright light appeared on the dark sea surface, and at the same time, the faint sound of the diesel engine could be heard.
Lao Zhuang looked at the boat light and listened to the sound of the fishing boat's diesel engine, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Maybe it's because I live at the dock all year round.
He knows the fishing boats on Dandan Island very well, and sometimes he can tell whose fishing boat it is by the strength and color of its lights.
Sometimes, you can tell whose house it belongs to without even looking, just by the sound of the diesel engine.
The diesel engine that makes the "clang" sound of hitting metal belongs to the old Lu family, while the "clatter" engine belongs to Li Shuguang's boat, and the one that always likes to fire off cannons is made of stone.
After the fishing boat arrives at the port.
Li Duoyu held the cable on the bow of the boat and immediately jumped out of the boat and tied the cable to the dock piles.
When Lao Zhuang saw Li Duoyu, he said, "Duoyu, why are you back so late today?"
"Uncle Zhuang, I'm sorry, something happened and I was delayed when I came back."
"It's okay, just be safe."
After Lao Zhuang finished speaking, he walked onto their fishing boat. When he saw that the two big barrels were filled with fish, he was stunned on the spot.
One of them is a live fish bucket, which also contains a dying big bass, red spots, tiger spots and blue spots.
These groupers are all very large, and I don’t know what method was used, but more than half of these groupers are actually alive.
Laozhuang also collects groupers, but most of them are dead when they get into his hands. Occasionally, he is lucky and encounters groupers that have just been caught by fishermen, but they still die soon after they are in his hands.
Lao Zhuang felt that Li Duoyu must have some ideas, and he would ask him for advice sometime in the future.
The other large bucket was full of red anchovies. They were all very big and could be seen with the naked eye, with several weighing more than thirty kilograms.
But what Lao Zhuang couldn't understand was that when they went to sea, they didn't go to Rongcheng at all. Where did they get the ice?
In fact, the fish was received so late.
Lao Zhuang is already prepared to lose money. If the fish is collected at this time, the freshness of the fish will definitely not be enough. If the fish is not sold tonight, no one will want it the next day.
Do what they do.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, fresh fish is generally not collected.
He also had an agreement with Li Duoyu, so he waited until so late. He thought he would lose money, but he didn't expect that there was ice on their boat.
It's stable now.
But seeing so many sea fish, Lao Zhuang suddenly realized something very important.
"With so much seafood, his son's small seafood shop simply can't eat so much food."
This old man is serious. If only he had waited ten more minutes.
A small fishing boat named "Tong Tong Tong" appeared at the port. Just by listening to the sound of the fishing boat, Lao Zhuang knew who was coming.
Before the boat even docked, Mr. Mi shouted: "Old Zhuang, you have to leave some for me. There are so many fish. Don't sell all the fish to him."
Lao Zhuang gave him a disgusted look.
"No, I've already bought them all."
"Damn it, don't be unethical." Old Man Mi hurriedly came to the fishing boat. After seeing the two barrels of sea fish, he said to Lao Zhuang: "Buy it, buy it all if you can."
Lao Zhuang smiled awkwardly.
"Fortunately, I didn't drive too far. Otherwise, there are so many sea fish. Duoyu might have to make a trip to Rongcheng Pier tonight."
Old Man Mi was also very surprised when he saw the ice cubes, but he was not the kind of person who liked to talk, so he didn't bother to ask.
Anyway, for him, it is definitely a good thing to have ice cubes, which can ensure the freshness of the fish, if these ice cubes are willing to be given to him.
Then he can transport it to Rongcheng Wharf and sell it at a higher price.
"We all know each other, and I'm too lazy to play with the empty ones. If there are ice cubes, I'll take them for 17 cents. For live groupers, it's 50 cents for more than ten pounds, 60 cents for more than 20 pounds, and 7 cents for more than 30 pounds. hair."
Li Duoyu is quite satisfied with this quotation. It's almost the same at Qingkou Wharf.
"sure, no problem."
After all the fish are sold.
The total was 136 yuan, which was much better than Li Duoyu expected.
And some fishermen who heard the news.
After learning that Li Duoyu had returned to Hong Kong from fishing, they all ran to the pier to see how many marine fish they had caught today.
And when they come.
I happened to see Mr. Mi and Lao Zhuang moving the fish. After seeing the lively and jumping bass, they were instantly envious.
"Such a big bass slider."
"There are actually erythema. If it were kept during the Chinese New Year, it would be worth a lot of money."
"Is it so easy to catch fish in the open sea? I will try it another day."
"What are you thinking about? You go to the open sea just to feed the sharks, and you also want to catch fish. In such a big place, you probably don't even know where the fish are."
I saw many fishermen discussing it.
Li Duoyu shouted to them: "If you want to go fishing in the open sea, you can come to me to sign up. We have fishing spots for rent on our boat."
The clam farmer, Tang Ping, who was also a village cadre like Li Duoyu, was a little moved.
"There are many fish, how do you calculate this fishing position?"
Li Duoyu replied: "This is simple. I provide two rental methods here. One is for pure fishing experience, which costs fifteen yuan a day, but all the fish caught belong to us. The other is immersive fishing, and all the fish caught are ours." It’s all yours, thirty a day.”
Tang Ping glared and said:
"Thirty a day, why don't you go and grab it? There are many people in our village who can't even make thirty a month."
"well."
Li Duoyu sighed: "I was just thinking whether it was too cheap. After all, I might be the only one in Lianjiang County who has this kind of fishing rod. Besides, this fishing rod has a service life. Thirty really doesn't matter. expensive."
"When you said that, I remembered that if you want to come fishing, you have to pay a deposit. Otherwise, if the fishing rod is damaged by you, I will suffer a big loss."
Tang Ping's face was very dark, but he still asked:
"How much money do you need to deposit?"
Li Duoyu thought for a while: "Since everyone is so familiar with it, I think it's cheaper for you, maybe three hundred. The market price of my fishing rod is at least five hundred."
On the pier, there were some fishermen who were eager to give it a try. They spent thirty yuan to gamble, and maybe they could make fifty yuan back.
But when I heard that the deposit was three hundred, I immediately wanted to curse. This village director may be good, and he is more responsible than Wang Dapao, but he is too cunning and he is very good at calculating.
"Forget it, I can't afford it."
"Otherwise the fishing rod is damaged, and the two or three years of work will be in vain."
Just when everyone was about to give up, Li Duoyu smiled and said:
"For our project of renting out fishing spots, if there are reservations this month, we will buy one and get one free. As long as you purchase an immersive fishing experience, we will give you a free fishing experience."
After everyone heard this, they always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't express it, and they still felt that Li Duoyu seemed quite reasonable.
Tang Ping frowned and thought for a while. He originally planned to go back and think about what was wrong before deciding whether to rent out the fishing spot.
But the young fisherman named Shitou didn't even think about it, and said on the spot: "Brother Yu, when will you go to sea, I will buy one and get one free."
Since the last time he made money fishing for small tubes, Shitou has now become an avid fan of Li Duoyu.
As long as Li Duoyu did something, he didn't even bother to think about it, he could just follow him.
Li Duoyu replied: "It's not that easy to go fishing in the open sea. It depends on the weather. If the weather is good, I will notify you through the loudspeaker of the village committee. When the time comes, just come to the pier to find me."
"no problem."
Jian Shitou signed up.
Although Tang Ping felt something was wrong, he still said: "Forget it, I'll sign up for one too."
When the other fishermen saw that two people had signed up, they were a little bit ready to take action, but they really had no money in their pockets. They had been screwed by Wang Dapao last time, and everyone's money had been emptied out long ago.
There is no money at all now.
One Chen Baoqiang said: "There are so many fish, I don't have money to bet on them. If I break your fishing rod, how will you pay for it?"
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "That's easy. Come to my house and sign a contract of sale."
"Same as Wenchao, fifty per month, with a commission?"
Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's impossible. Aqiang, you can only be thirty at most, and you don't get any commission."
"Damn it, why am I so low?"
The fisherman on the side joked: "First of all, you must have the body of Wen Chao, otherwise no boss would want you with your ability to come out in two or three strokes."
"Damn it, stick your butt up, and I'll let you try it on the spot, how many times." (End of Chapter)
