After pouring out the bag of scallops and sorting them by size, they poured the fish into the baskets at the purchasing point. The fish had already been sorted, so they could just pour them over to take a rough look at the freshness and size and then weigh them directly.
The golden-eye bream weighed 8.2 jin and sold for a good price of 14.8 yuan. Half a basket of large white pomfret weighed about 1 jin, 16 jin, and weighed 6-9 liang, 18 jin, and sold for a total of 35.6 yuan.
Those blue crabs sold for about ten yuan, and some fish, shrimps and stone crabs sold for more than twelve yuan.
Including the more than 100 kilograms of scallops, all the goods delivered this time should be sold for just over 120 yuan. Even if he and his father split it in half, each of them would still make about 60 yuan, which is really a good deal.
After the goods at home are picked out, they can be sent here to sell, and they should be able to make a lot of money by then. After all, his father, mother and his wife are the three people picking them up, and they got there first before others, so the combined quantity is quite a lot.
I just wonder how much the price of scallops will differ at this time in the morning compared to the price when they are purchased in bulk in the evening
If it is sent out in the evening, it will not be available on the market until tomorrow.
Ah Cai also said, "Originally, the typhoon had just passed, so we were closed today. But when we saw so many scallops on the shore, we waited until they were all gone before we temporarily opened the door to receive the goods. The quantity of goods you have delivered is not bad, so I will arrange a car to take them away later."
"For goods collected in the evening, we have to catch up with the next truck, so there is definitely no such price. The quantity is too large, so the specific price will be discussed in the evening. I am the most fair person and never maliciously lower the price."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I understand."
Just listen to this. There is no businessman without dishonesty. Every businessman says that his prices are the most fair.
After the order was written, Ah Cai couldn't help but ask them curiously, "What time did you go out to pick up fish yesterday? How long did it take? Among the goods delivered today, yours is the largest. It's good to live by the beach. You know it before others, but the wind and waves at the seaside should be stronger than in the village, right?"
"You asked so many questions, which one should I answer? Is the wind stronger than in the village? I can't compare. It only took three hours to pick up these goods."
Since all the goods have been sold, Ye's father is eager to go home and has no time to listen to their chat. "We are leaving first. There are still a lot of shells waiting at home. Let's go back to work."
"Well, let's go..."
The waves outside the pier are much bigger than those on the beach. At least the beach has a larger area of sand, so their force is diluted when they hit.
There are reefs on the shore as a natural barrier, and the waves can only wash and hit the reefs layer by layer.
As soon as Ye Yaodong came out of the dock, he saw the waves hitting the rocks and rushing up one after another. Fortunately, there was no boat on the shore.
Otherwise, with the strength of the waves last night, his iron boat would be fine, but the small wooden boat would probably be in trouble. It would be overturned by the waves in a few seconds, or it would be constantly hit by the waves and typhoons and hit the reefs. The old and broken boat of poor quality might even be torn into pieces.
Father Ye pushed the cart and looked at the shore while walking and said, "It would be great if we built a dam along the beach. This way it would be safer for you to live by the beach, since it is facing the sea after all."
"This is a bit far away. The Mazu Temple is in tatters and was only rebuilt this year."
He knew that the dam would be built, but it would take twenty years, and part of the sea would be filled up.
"If the villagers could donate some money together..."
"That's wishful thinking. Just because we have enough money doesn't mean that everyone has enough money. Building a Mazu temple is everyone's belief, and the villagers will definitely be happy and will donate more or less. But building a dam has nothing to do with them? Their own houses are shabby and leaking every day, and it's too late to fix them. Why would they donate money to build a dam? Building a dam will not benefit them."
"That's what I thought..."
"Dad... tell me honestly, how much money have you and my mother saved?"
Feeling a little bloated!
Father Ye glared at him and said, "I'm not even dead yet, and you're already thinking about my family's assets?"
"Didn't you say that? Everything you and my mother earn will belong to us in the future. Should I ask around in advance so I can have a better idea of what's going on? This way, I won't be caught off guard when the time comes."
"Asshole..."
When his father took off his shoes and prepared to hit someone, Ye Yaodong ran away first.
The seabirds on the beach were frightened by his speed as fast as the wind and flew up in the blink of an eye. Some of them even dropped the fish or shrimp in their mouths or claws.
After Ye's father cursed a few words, he also started to jog while pushing the cart.
The two of them returned to the door of their home one after the other. Ye Yaodong almost stepped on the group of furry little ducks, but luckily he didn't. It would have been a sin if he had stepped on them to death. Not to mention how other people would react, his two children would have cried their hearts out.
"You're in your 20s, but you're still so impatient..." Mother Ye glanced at him, then looked at Father Ye who was also running back with a cart and said, "Why are you running? You're old, and you're still playing chase with him? Aren't you afraid of falling..."
"Come and help quickly. There are so many of them, like a few mountains. I guess we'll have to work until dark."
Father Ye pushed the cart to the corner. "There are so many things. We can't pick them all up in a short time. Anyway, they have all been delivered to the doorstep. We are not afraid of losing them. I will go to the old house first. I haven't been back since I came here last night. I have been busy all morning. I don't know what the old house looks like after the typhoon."
Mother Ye nodded. "We have to go back and take a look. We don't know how badly the house is leaking. You can open the windows and ventilate it so that it won't be stuffy and smelly."
Ye Yaodong also volunteered to go over and take a look.
"You want to be lazy and don't want to work?"
"Nonsense, isn't it more comfortable to sit there and pick things up than to run around everywhere? Who knows, when I get back home, I might have to climb up and down to fix them. I'm already sweating all over."
At this time, the old lady also looked at Ye's mother with dissatisfaction, "Why are you so dissatisfied with Dongzi? He is so diligent. He has been spinning like a top since he got up in the morning, and you are always complaining about him."
Mother Ye opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute. Could she say that she just disliked him out of habit? She also knew that Dongzi had become a better person, but she couldn't help but say a few words to him.
This is her usual way of speaking, a habit of more than 20 years, and it is difficult to change.
Ye Yaodong put his arm around the old lady's shoulders and smiled, "My mother has a sharp tongue but a kind heart."
Ye Yaopeng quickly stood up and said, "Ahua and I will go take a look. Dongzi and Dad can sit and rest for a while."
Father Ye waved his hand and said, "I'll go and see it myself. I can't let it go even if I don't go and see it myself."
As he said that, he went towards the village, and Ye Yaodong followed him.
