Chapter 738 Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi’s Morning Market
Five o'clock in the morning.
Ding Xiaoxiang got up and walked out of the room. She saw Zhang Li, the old lady, who was busy in the kitchen. She walked over quietly and started to help immediately.
"Didn't the eldest and second brothers get up?"
Ding Xiaoxiang asked quietly.
"Um!"
"Didn't you just come back yesterday? You went to bed late again. Just cook breakfast and call them."
Zhang Li nodded.
Less than twenty minutes after Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li started working together, breakfast was already cooked. Just as they were about to call Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, the door had opened, and in another room, Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi had already dressed. Get dressed, wash your face and come out.
"Chen Miaomiao."
"Zhang Qi."
"You don't need to get up so early. You just came back yesterday. Just sleep a little longer and get up at noon to have breakfast and then go to the fish market to have a look."
Zhang Li saw Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi coming over, pointed to the room, and told them to go back and sleep a little longer. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun have to help today, but Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi don't have much need.
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi shook their heads. They came back not to sleep but to do business. They had already made preparations.
Zhang Li saw that Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi were more resolute, so she didn't say anything more. The cooked white porridge and fried salted fish were brought out and placed on the table. Ding Chongshan had already left for the dock at four o'clock. , several people hurried out after breakfast and rushed to the town fish market.
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi were shocked when they arrived at the fish market. They thought it was quite early and there weren't many people there, but they didn't expect that there were a lot of people buying fish, shrimps and crabs.
Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang saw it and immediately quickened their pace, while Ding Jie and Ding Weijun trotted behind them.
Zhang Ji and Chen Miaomiao were half slow to react, but they caught up immediately.
When the store door opened, fish, shrimps and crabs had already been delivered. One foam box after another was opened, and all the fish, shrimps and crabs inside were taken out and placed on the stall.
There are so many people, so it doesn't take much time to get things done. Everything is laid out.
"Uncle Li."
"What do you want to eat today? The size of the orchid crab is good, and the price is also good. Do you want to buy two pounds?"
…
"These Shi Jiugong are not too big. They are fished from the small island next to our village. They are definitely our local products."
“It tastes amazing!”
…
“Today’s yellow snapper is not big, but the black snapper is pretty good!”
…
Ding Xiaoxiang was quick with her hands and feet, and even more so with her words. While greeting the people at the stall, she quickly picked up the fish, shrimps and crabs on the stall. From time to time, she put them into a basket and handed them to Zhang Li. After weighing them, she immediately put them away. Pass the bag to the person buying fish, shrimp and crab, and then collect the money.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun didn't speak and kept working.
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi wanted to help, but they couldn't help. At first, they handed over a bag or something, but soon found that the two of them could only make trouble, so they simply stopped.
nine in the morning.
The number of people in the market is slowly decreasing.
Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhang Li, Ding Jie, and Ding Weijun breathed a sigh of relief. The fish, shrimp, and crabs on the stall had been sold for seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent. What was left was only three to five kilograms of small fish, shrimps, and crabs. They could be sold as long as they could. If you can't sell it, you can take it home and eat it yourself.
"Aunt."
"Xiaoxiang."
"You two have a drink of water and have a rest."
…
"We can't do anything to help, we can only watch from the sidelines!"
…
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi poured two glasses of water and handed them to Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang. The two of them could only stare at them all morning, wanting to help, but they really couldn't help.
"Do not worry."
"This is not difficult. It's just that this is your first time contacting us. I don't know what the price of fish, shrimp and crab here is."
"You can understand it clearly in three to five days. As long as you memorize it, you can do this kind of business. It just requires a sweeter mouth and faster hands and feet."
Zhang Li knew that Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi were a little anxious, and wanted to help quickly. However, this matter really cannot be done in a short time. Apart from anything else, you just have to remember and understand the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs. It will take a while. Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi must not be familiar with each other on their first day here.
"Big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."
"In the past few days, you should first get familiar with the business of our stall."
"The main thing is to let you see how my mother and I do business first."
"Don't worry too much about the price of fish, shrimp and crab. Even if you don't know how much it is, just ask me. My mother or I have been watching from the stall."
Ding Xiaoxiang took a sip of water.
Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao are both a little anxious, but they really can't rush this matter, but this matter is not a complicated matter. It takes a few days to remember everything, and it takes a little more time to become familiar with it.
Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Ding Jie and Ding Weijun. They will be helping here in the past few days. Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi will get familiar with the business here before talking about anything else. Then they will go to the dock to help their father Ding Chongshan buy fish, shrimp and crabs.
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li were right. This matter is really not complicated. The key thing is to remember the price of fish, shrimp and crab. These can be done in a few days. Two people can write them down in a notebook and read them several times a day. It is easy to remember them clearly. Others, such as talking to people who come to buy fish, shrimps and crabs, It’s not difficult to be thick-skinned and keep your mouth shut.
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi slowly calmed down and looked at the fish stalls in the surrounding market. There were many others, and those that could sell half of them were considered to be doing a good business.
"Aunt."
"Our business is really good!"
Chen Miaomiao was a little surprised. She was shocked because the fish, shrimp and crabs at her stall were sold too fast.
"Sister-in-law."
"Second sister-in-law."
"The price of our fish, shrimp and crab is a little lower than other stalls around, but the quality is indeed higher than others."
"In addition, our stall has been open here for many years, and there are many old customers who know the basics and are very familiar with it."
"Every day, many old acquaintances come here to buy fish, shrimps and crabs, almost without any bargaining. They are all people who have been buying for three to five years, or even ten or eight years."
…
"When you two help me do business here, you don't need to say too much. Basically, they will come from some old customers."
…
"They actually know what the price is every day."
"I will tell you every day what the price of crabs is in the rain today, including what the base price is. Sometimes some old customers come to buy fish, shrimps and crabs at a lower price, even if they are not profitable, or even small It’s okay to lose a little bit.”
…
"The main thing we do is business with these old customers for many years. As long as the food is delicious, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher. Not to mention, all the fish, shrimps and crabs in our house are collected by my father from the dock."
"The cost is much lower than others. When selling, you have more room to bargain with people who buy fish, shrimps and crabs."
…
Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi have not done much business, but they have worked in large companies and are smart people. When Ding Xiaoxiang said this, she immediately understood why business was so good.
The fish, shrimps and crabs that Ding Chongshan bought at the wharf were sold here without any intermediate links, so the cost dropped instantly. With this, everything else would be easy to handle.
When selling, the price can definitely be lower, even much lower than other fish stalls around. Even if someone wants to bargain, they can still make money by bargaining for a higher price.
Other fish stalls around here don’t have the ability to do this, and they look like they’re only a dime or two short, but for those who come to the fish market to buy fish, shrimps, and crabs, this little money is a huge amount of money. The fish on the stall If the quality of shrimps and crabs is good, business cannot be bad.
"Aunt."
"Is it possible for other stalls to do this? Do you buy fish, shrimps and crabs at home?"
Zhang Qi was a little curious about this matter.
"Maybe not? We are a town by the sea. We are a village by the sea."
"Many of the stalls here are husband-and-wife businesses. Usually the husband buys a first-line wife at the dock, or the daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law at home opens a stall here to sell fish."
As Zhang Li spoke, she pointed to a few stalls on the east side of the fish market, and then pointed to two or three stalls on the west side. These are all fish, shrimps and crabs that no one in the family buys.
"Zhang Qi."
"There are people in these stalls who buy fish, shrimp and crabs, but some of the fish, shrimp and crabs they buy are not as good as those at ours in terms of quantity and quality."
"When you come here to sell, you will definitely not be able to sell ours. Not to mention, doing business depends on the people."
"Both I and Xiaoxiang are good at doing business!"
Ding Weijun pointed at Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang.
"Yo!"
"It's as if your mouth has been greased today, and you can actually say such nice things?!"
"There's no need to flatter me and Xiao Xiang!"
Zhang Li smiled and cursed.
"Aunt."
"How can you be a flatterer? I don't think any of the business people around me can compare to you and Xiaoxiang."
Chen Miaomiao shook her head. I and Zhang Qi couldn't help me all morning, so I kept standing nearby and watched. It was very clear and easy to see that Zhang Qili and Ding Xiaoxiang were very slippery in recruiting people to do business, and the people on other stalls around them were very slippery. He was like a mute, speaking intermittently. Apart from anything else, Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Qi spoke in very comfortable tones when greeting people, and the difference was not the slightest bit different.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock at noon. They left the fish market. They packed their meals at a nearby food stall and ate in the shop when they came back.
Ding Xiaoxiang finished eating, drank a glass of water at lunch and took a break. She saw that there were more people at the stalls. In addition, the business in the evening market was not as busy as the morning market. There was no need for her to stay here all the time, so she sat down for a while. , said that he would go to the open space behind Hongyun Restaurant and leave.
"mom!"
"What do little sister and Zhao Dahai think about this matter?"
"Do you really want to spend so much money on this?"
Ding Jie saw Ding Xiaoxiang walking out quickly and couldn't help but feel curious. This was something he and Ding Weijun had just learned last night.
"Do you still need to say it? How could you not do something like this?"
"Ding Xiaoxiang has already made up her mind. Now she probably wants to go there and take a look at the land, or have a good discussion about this matter with Liu Gang, Liu Lei, Yang Qin and the others."
Zhang Li looked at Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi next to them, who were listening to her words carefully with their ears raised. She knew that there were some thoughts in their hearts, and they were even a little jealous.
"Yo!"
"I spent a lot of money when I bought the land, and now I have to invest in building shopping malls and buildings, which really costs a lot of money."
Ding Weijun thought about it for a while. He didn't know the exact number, but it must have cost a lot of money.
"Do you need to say anything? Even though this is happening in the town, the money will still be spent."
"This is not a difficult problem for Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai."
"Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua went out to sea on a fishing boat. I heard that they had booked 98 fishing positions, each with a price of 200,000 yuan. Just such a trip can make a profit of one month. More than ten million."
“There is enough money to buy land and build a house!”
Zhang Li did not hide these things. If she didn't tell them, Ding Jie, Ding Weijun, Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi would know sooner or later.
"ah?"
"Two hundred thousand for a fishing position?"
…
"Can you make so much money in one month?"
…
Zhen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi were startled. It seemed as if someone had knocked hard inside. They were a little dazed for a moment and couldn't react.
Two hundred thousand for a fishing position?
Can you earn more than 10 million in one month?
Did you make back the money you spent buying and investing in building a house in the town all at once?
When Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi heard about this last night, they both thought that the money Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang spent was the money they had saved so hard for fishing in the past year. After spending it, they had no money left. Unexpectedly, That's what happened.
“Is fishing so profitable?”
Zhang Qi couldn't help but feel surprised in her heart.
"No one else can make so much money fishing, only Zhao Dahai can make so much money fishing!"
“Two hundred thousand yuan for a fishing spot, and there are still people willing to pay for it.”
"If we go out, not to mention four sea fishing boats, even five, six or even seven or eight sea fishing boats can be fully booked."
Zhang Li has lived in the fishing village all her life in this town, and has dealt with people who go fishing or fish at sea. She knows very well that it is impossible for other fishermen to make money like Zhao Dahai, which is hundreds of miles away. He is the only one in the country, and there are not many such people in the whole country.
