Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 58 Settle the accounts and see how much the difference is!

Zhao Dahai returned to the village and pushed his motorcycle into the yard. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice. It was not early, almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and she started eating immediately.

While eating, Zhao Dahai said that the mussels cost 75 yuan a catty, and they sold for more than 7,300 yuan in total.

Zhong Cuihua shook her chopsticks several times, thinking that it would be very good to sell it for fifty yuan per catty, but she didn't expect that it would cost seventy-five yuan, which was twenty-five yuan more per catty.

"Why!"

"It's so lucrative!"

"It's a pity that the next big ebb tide will definitely have a lot of motorcycles going into the sea."

"The sea."

"You have to be sneaky and don't let other people know."

Zhong Cuihua felt very sorry.

"ha!"

"grandmother."

"Next time, don't talk about motorcycles, tricycles and so on will definitely be indispensable."

Zhao Dahai was happy when he heard this. The sea is not a vegetable patch in one's backyard. It is very open. People from the entire Langtou Village, including other surrounding villages, go to the sea, so there is no way to sneak around. Besides, it’s a bit of a coincidence that these mussels can be sold for so much money. Unless he happened to meet Wu Weimin, if he had just sold it on Dry Goods Street, it would only have cost three to four thousand yuan, not five thousand yuan. Liu Gang's would have been a little more, but not much more.

Zhao Dahai thought of the blood eels and asked Zhong Cuihua carefully where there were the most blood eels.

Zhong Cuihua immediately shook her head. Blood eels can indeed be sold at a high price, but it is too labor-intensive and labor-intensive. It is not cost-effective. No one is willing to dig this thing.

Qi Dahai knew that this was the truth. This was really not a job that ordinary people could do. If it weren't for the fact that the price offered by Liu Gang was really very high, he wouldn't have even thought about it. He had just found out the place and put it aside before deciding whether to dig.

It's quiet at night.

Zhao Dahai stayed in his room, calculating accounts with a piece of paper and a pen in his hand.

Crab and tiger fish, five hundred and ninety-one dollars and a dime.

Blue crabs cost 2,803 yuan.

Jumping Fish costs 1,000 yuan and 50 cents.

Red Spot and Shi Jiugong cost three thousand seven hundred yuan and four hairs.

Orchid crab costs 1,632 yuan.

The nearly 100 kilograms of dried mussels made the most money, selling for 7,357 yuan and 50 cents.

It cost 700 yuan to buy a motorcycle, plus some usual expenses, the total cost was almost 1,000 yuan.

Zhao Dahai calculated carefully several times and found that the money on hand would not exceed 16,000 yuan.

"Where can I get more money?"

Zhao Dahai frowned. Second Master Zhao Shi had long said that it would cost at least 20,000 yuan to repair the fishing boat left by his father and mother. During this period, he worked very hard and unknowingly earned more than 10,000 yuan. Six thousand dollars, but another four thousand dollars has to be earned.

Is it difficult to earn 4,000 yuan? If we dig another thousand kilograms of mussels, there are many problems that can be solved immediately. However, the low tide only occurs once or twice a year. Even if the tide is low tomorrow, a lot of people from the village and other surrounding villages will go to the sea to try to themselves. Pulling back a thousand pounds is a dream, this is actually a one-shot deal. For red spots, another one weighing four to five kilograms can also be sold for four to five thousand yuan. However, God or the Sea Dragon King are not my ancestors, so how can good things happen to me every day?

Blue crab?

Crab goby?

Jumping fish?

You can make some money, but if you take away all the easy things, there are not many left around. If you want to make 4,000 yuan, you can only make more by accumulating less, which can take as little as two or three months. It takes four or five months.

Zhao Dahai was a little irritable. He stood up and walked out of the room, out of the yard, and stood at the door of his home, looking down towards the sea.

On the dark sea, dots of light were scattered everywhere, some moving faster and some moving slower. These are all fishing boats, casting nets on the sea to catch fish.

Zhao Dahai was very envious.

"Fishing boats are king!"

"It has to be fixed soon!"

Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and made up his mind to seize the time to repair the fishing boat. Whether it is a reef area or a mangrove area around the village, people have been coming and going for hundreds of years. It is no problem to get food for one or two meals. It is very easy and simple. It is really difficult to make money. My luck is already very good, but I can't always be so lucky. If a fishing village wants to make money, especially if it wants to make money continuously, it must have a fishing boat. Only with a fishing boat can it go to sea, travel farther, and have more possibilities to make money. No fishing boat means no feet to do anything.

Zhao Dahai turned back to the yard and found two hoes. One was wider and the other was narrower. He chose the narrower one and checked it carefully. The handle and iron of the hoe were very tight and not loose. Something was wrong. I was so relieved that I carried it to the vegetable patch behind the house and tried it a few times, and it worked very well.

Zhao Dahai returned to the yard with a hoe, and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua stood at the door of the hall and looked at him.

"Dig the blood eel tomorrow?"

Zhong Cuihua supported the door frame and asked.

"Boss Liu Gang and Liu of Hongyun Restaurant in the town offer very good prices. I want to dig a little and make more money."

Zhao Dahai put down his hoe and found a small bamboo basket with a small opening and a big belly. He washed it and put two plastic bags and mesh bags inside. Digging for blood eels is indeed quite hard, but who calls yourself short of money?

"OK!"

"Then try it."

"If you have it, dig it out. If you don't have it, don't force it. Think of other ways."

Zhong Cuihua didn't stop him this time. Zhao Dahai wanted to make more money and repair the fishing boat sooner, but he was short of money and didn't have many ways to make money, so he had to work harder.

Zhao Dahai was ready to dig up blood eels and went to bed early.

Zhao Dahai didn't get up early and slept until he woke up naturally. He saw that it was almost ten o'clock when he got up. Zhong Cuihua had already cooked the rice and took a rest after eating. At almost twelve o'clock, he picked up a hoe and carried a bamboo basket. Putting on his shoulder, he put on his straw hat and went out, striding toward the sea in front of the village.

Zhong Cuihua walked out of the courtyard door, looked at Zhao Dahai's back, and turned back to the house after a while. If you weren’t really short of money, who would go out to work at this time?

The afternoon sun was very hot, and the ground was scalding hot.

Zhao Dahai was wearing Jiefang shoes, and the heat felt like he was stepping on a red-hot iron plate.

The weather was so hot that the village was quiet and no one was there. They all hid in their homes.

Zhao Dahai walked to the small pier in front of the village. Sweat was dripping down like it was free of charge. He was soaked to the skin. His hands and feet, including his face and neck, which were not covered by clothes, were as hot as needles from the sun.

Zhao Dahai squinted his eyes and looked at the sea. The sun was shining on it, the wind was blowing, the waves were shaking, and the patches of white light were very dazzling. The sea water has just started to recede, and it will take an hour or so to recede.

Zhao Dahai walked along the shore to the west end of the village. The place where he could dig for blood eels was a little further west in the mangroves. When he was a child, he followed his father to dig in that area. What grandma said last night was In the same place, I plan to try it out first, and then dig it if I can and then change the place.
