I really just want to make money

Chapter 263 Bamboo Weaving
The second ground cage is kept longer, and the harvest will naturally be more, but it is also some small fish and shrimps the size of a fingernail.

The total weight is almost a catty. Zhang Hua put the cage back and said, "Go back, it's almost enough to eat. I'll pick it up in the afternoon. There should be more. If it takes longer, there may be surprises."

"Is one catty enough to eat?" Chen Jun obviously didn't want to go back so soon. After all, he finally found such a fun, so he naturally wanted to play for a while.

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "It's almost there. Put some flour and eggs to fry a lot, and it's impossible to eat this alone. I'll make a few more ground cages when I go back. I'll put them back tonight. Maybe I can get some big ones tomorrow." goods."

There are at least hundreds of squid per catty, and they look like a dense group in a bucket.

When I went back, I happened to meet Zhang’s father who was back from growing vegetables. He looked at Zhang Hua’s bucket and asked, “Why are you catching so many vegetable fish?”

"Eat!" Zhang Hua laughed.

Father Zhang smiled and said, "Isn't it better to eat big fish, it's so small that it's hard to squeeze your stomach!"

"Don't squeeze, just eat the bitter taste!" Zhang Hua said with a smile: "It can clear away heat and detoxify, and it is good for the body!"

"And this statement?"

"It's said in the book that bitter gall naturally has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying."

A fish the size of a fingernail has naturally smaller bitter gall, so it can actually make people feel a distinct bitter taste, and the effect is naturally very good.

Naturally, there is no need to clean up such a small one, just rinse it with clean water, then wrap it in flour and egg liquid, add some salt, and fry it with rapeseed oil. It will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes great.

At least Chen Ma liked it very much, and Chen Jun stopped eating after eating a piece, "It tastes so bitter!"

Chen Ma said with a smile: "Wait a while and then feel that it is actually a little bit sweet."

Chen Jun licked his lips and said with a smile: "It seems to be a little sweet." Then he took another piece and ate it, and he liked the bitter taste after eating.

After lunch, Zhang Hua went to cut some bamboo to weave more ground cages and put them in the ditch. His parents and two helpers also came to help.

Chen Jun asked curiously: "Why do all of you know how to weave bamboo?"

Father Zhang said with a smile: "This is a skill that we must know here, otherwise I am afraid that the daughter-in-law will not be able to get married. After all, we need to use it every day, such as back bamboo, bamboo basket, bamboo basket, dustpan, dustpan, etc. Things are simply inseparable.

If you rely entirely on buying, you will spend a lot of money every year. Let alone whether the craftsmanship is good or not, you must be able to do it yourself. The ground cage is a bit more complicated. After all, you must be more precise if you want to catch fish. "

Zhang Hua was in charge of breaking the bamboo into small pieces and cleaning the bamboo joints, and then Zhang's father separated the green and yellow bamboo strips, and Zhang's mother and two helpers were in charge of weaving. In one afternoon, only three places were weaved. cage out.

Chen Jun picked up one of the cages, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful, how much can one sell for?"

"Ten yuan or eight yuan can still be sold." Father Zhang said proudly.

"It's so difficult to sell for ten yuan?" Chen Jun asked in surprise.

Father Zhang sighed, and said, "It's not bad. It's because of their good craftsmanship that they can sell it for ten yuan. It depends on the market. If no one buys it, they will sell it for eight yuan."

"That's too bad!" Chen Jun felt that it was not cost-effective. After all, he had to provide the materials, and the board and lodging were also his own. It took a day's hard work for one person to make one, but it could only be sold for ten yuan.

"It's in the countryside." Zhang's father said with a smile: "It's not bad here. If you want to go to the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province, those very delicate carrying straps are the ones that can stand and sit on the backs of Ping An." It takes almost two days to weave one back strap, and it costs only eleven or twelve yuan each, and it only costs fifteen or sixteen yuan to get it for sale.”

Chen Jun thought for a while, and asked Zhang Hua, "If we buy a lot and sell them in Guancheng, can we make money?"

Zhang Hua nodded and said with a smile: "Making money is definitely making money, but it doesn't mean much. First, the output is not stable, and it is impossible to have too much output. Second, transportation is more troublesome."

Chen Jun thought for a while and said, "We can cooperate with the local government for the output. If we find a few more counties, the output will definitely be guaranteed. As long as there is money to be made, they will definitely solve the traffic problem."

"You can try it!" Zhang Hua said with a smile.

I can only try it out. It is to find something for Chen Jun. Zhang Hua is actually not optimistic about it, because the market for bamboo weaving will still be like this even after more than 20 years.

After a day of hard work, I paid for my own food and shelter, and the harvest was only 50 yuan. At that time, there was no traffic problem.

It belongs to the small business that capital despises, and ordinary people earn some hard money.

However, Zhang Hua can try it now that he has a market, and doing this kind of thing, making money is second, the key is to solve some poverty problems and help some people who cannot go out to work to increase a little stable income.

It can be regarded as a business that can earn yourself a good reputation. This can be done, and it can be done at a loss, and the effect is better than donating money directly.

Zhang Hua went to get some more chicken oil, went out and put all three ground cages in the ditch. By the way, he took the two ground cages from the morning, and put some chicken oil in them to re-install them.

This time, the storage time was long enough. The combination of the two ground cages not only harvested more than a catty of small miscellaneous fish, but also received a catfish weighing half a catty, and a yellow pepper that weighed two or three. In summer, there are also loach eels, but now the weather is too cold, and loach eels don't like to move, so it is difficult to catch them.

"Yellow bone fish is okay, but this kind of catfish is not tasty!" Chen Jun said with some disgust.

Zhang Hua smiled and said: "That's because the catfish on your side is not tasty, but the catfish on our side is delicious. Don't you look at how clear the water in the ditch is!"

Anyone who has worked in the south knows that the taste of catfish there is hard to describe, but after leaving Guangdong and Guangxi, the catfish tastes better again.

Even the price of catfish in this kind of small river ditch is twice as expensive as that of the four major fish. If it is catfish in the Yangtze River, it may not be possible to buy it if the price is doubled.

When he got home, Zhang Hua threw all the small fish to the chickens and ducks. Catfish Balang and Huang Lading raised them. He planned to go to the market tomorrow to see if he could buy some, and then collected a few ground cages in the ditch. Can make a big meal.

The meal has been prepared at home, and just about to start eating, Kang Youming ran over, "Hey, it's just in time for the meal to start."
