Chapter 856: Selling Fish

"Liu Lei."

"Some of these sea bass this time are relatively small, about three pounds."

"Those of this size are not easy to sell in your restaurant."

"Pick them out and I'll take them away later."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that Hongyun Restaurant was doing a relatively high-end business, and three or four pounds of sea bass were indeed a little small for Hongyun Restaurant.

Liu Lei nodded. This was something that had been agreed upon long ago. Such a size of sea bass was really a little small for his family.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"How about this, I'll take all the ones over five pounds, and you can take the rest."

Liu Lei thought about it and decided to take all the ones over five pounds, and Ding Xiaoxiang would take away the ones under five pounds, especially those of three or four pounds. Whether they were sold to Ding Xiaoxiang's father Ding Chongshan or put in the fish market, they would be very easy to sell.

"Okay!"

"It's settled!"

Ding Xiaoxiang thought this was fine.

"Hey!"

"Right!"

"Brother Dahai doesn't usually fish such small fish? Why did you fish such small fish today?"

Liu Lei looked at the people in the restaurant picking and weighing fish and felt a little strange. Zhao Dahai was different from other fishermen. Others would catch whatever fish they could, regardless of size, but Zhao Dahai only fished big fish. He didn't care about sea bass weighing three or four catties or even less than five catties.

"I say, fat man, is your brain not working well or what? Didn't you find a fishing boat to go out to sea to catch fish?"

"Zhao Dahai usually doesn't catch fish of this size. It's not that these fish can't be sold at a high price, but the live tank or refrigerator of the speedboat is limited. There are too many fish to catch, and these small fish can't occupy the live tank or refrigerator of the big fish. Now that a fishing boat has been found to go out to sea to catch fish, why should we care about this? Catch as much as you can, not to mention three or four catties, even if it's one or two catties, can't it be sold for money?"

"Now Zhao Dahai is not the only one going out to sea to fish, there are also Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, four people fishing together, even if it's three or four catties of sea bass, catching hundreds of catties, isn't it also worth money?"

Yang Qin glared at Liu Lei.

Zhao Dahai usually doesn't fish this size of fish. It's not that such fish can't be sold at a high price, but the space in the speedboat is limited, so there's no need to fish small fish. In addition, if there's only one person working, fishing small fish will waste too much time and energy, and there will be no time and energy to fish big fish and more valuable fish.

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded, that's it.

"Hehehe!"

"This is a good idea. The island and reef foam area or other places around are actually not too far away."

"Let's do this when Brother Dahai goes out to sea to fish in the future."

"That's right!"

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang, we have to buy a boat and find someone to take care of it. We can't rent a fishing boat every day, right?"

Liu Lei looked at Ding Xiaoxiang. For a short period of time, it would definitely be more cost-effective to rent a fishing boat, but if you do it often, you must buy a boat yourself and hire a boat captain. It seems that you have to pay a lot of money and pay someone to drive the fishing boat and work. But if you calculate the account in the long run, it's better to hire someone to buy a boat.

Ding Xiaoxiang told Liu Lei that she had asked her second uncle Ding Lihua to find a boat and people. The boat could be bought and people could be found in three to five days.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang, you can't go out to sea with the boat every time, right? You have to find a trustworthy person, right?"

Liu Lei thought of a very important thing.

The captain of the fishing boat and even the two people who help with the work on the fishing boat are very easy to find. You just need to pay money, but it's not enough to have a captain or two people working. There must be someone watching.

Don't think that Zhao Dahai is just fishing for sea bass or black porgy in the island and reef foam area or other places, but he catches a lot of fish. Once he can catch a big horse friend fish like today, if one fish is missing, it means thousands of dollars are missing.

There must be someone watching on the fishing boat, otherwise it's really worrying. Ding Xiaoxiang has things to do and can't go out to sea with him every day.

Ding Xiaoxiang had a headache. This was indeed a problem. She could go out to sea and keep an eye on the situation for a few days or even the next ten or eight days, but it was impossible to do so all the time. She had to find someone, and a familiar and trustworthy person.

Zhao Dahai had few relatives, and not many of them were really close. It was not easy to find someone to trust.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought for a long time but could not find a suitable person. Not only did Zhao Dahai's relatives not have suitable people, but her own relatives also did not have suitable people.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"How can you care so much about such things?"

"Whether you look for someone in Zhao Dahai's house, in your house, or in the village."

"Aren't Zhong Shizhu and his friends fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat? Even if your family or Zhao Dahai's family can't find the right person, why not ask them?"

"That's right!"

"I remember your second uncle's eldest son, Dawen, working outside?"

"Didn't I hear you say during the New Year dinner that you wanted to come back, but you didn't want to take over your second uncle's business, saying you didn't want to stay in one place all day?"

"Should I ask your second uncle about this? If you are willing, going out to sea with the boat is just staring at the fish, there is nothing too complicated."

As Yang Qin spoke, she thought of Ding Lihua's eldest son.

Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes lit up.

Second uncle Ding Lihua, like her father, had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was called Ding Dawen, the middle one was Ding Ailian, and the son was Ding Xiaowen.

Ding Dawen is already 22 or 23 years old this year. He has been working in the county town. It’s not that he doesn’t like the business in the store, but he is not good at doing business. He is very honest and willing to work hard, but he is not suitable for dealing with others.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it carefully and felt that Ding Dawen was indeed very suitable for doing such things.

Ding Xiaoxiang decided to go to her second uncle Ding Lihua to discuss this matter. One is to listen to the opinion of her second uncle Ding Lihua, and the other is to ask her cousin Ding Dawen, who is not interested in this.

Liu Lei held a notebook in his hand and kept recording the fish that were weighed. It took almost two hours to weigh them all.

Liu Lei carefully read it again. There was no problem with the account he wrote down, so he handed it to Ding Xiaoxiang.

Ding Xiaoxiang also read it carefully several times, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed her name. All the sea bass under five kilograms were reloaded on the seafood truck.

Ding Xiaoxiang got on the seafood truck and called the driver to drive to her father’s company at the dock.

"Fatty."

"How many fish did Zhao Dahai catch this time?"

Yang Qin was very curious about how many fish Zhao Dahai caught this time.

"The sea bass we caught are those weighing more than five kilograms, a total of 4,792 kilograms."

"The Ma Youyu are a total of 872 kilograms!"

"The small sea bass that Xiaoxiang took away are those weighing three or four kilograms, and it is estimated that there are nearly 1,000 kilograms."

Liu Lei looked at the notebook in his hand.

"Hey!"

"Fishing is really profitable!"

Yang Qin was a little stunned.

Zhao Dahai's speedboat, in such a morning, caught almost 7,000 kilograms of fish, big and small.

"Ha!"

"It's not fishing that makes money, but Brother Dahai who makes money by fishing. Other people don't have such ability."

"Ah!"

"We are so busy all day long, and we have to bow and scrape without touching the ground. The money we earn is not even a fraction of Brother Dahai's!"

"Comparing people is really annoying!"

Liu Lei said helplessly. The restaurant business is very good. In a month, he can make at least hundreds of thousands, or even one million. In a year, he can make a lot of money, but compared with Zhao Dahai, it is really far behind.

The fish caught today are worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

This is the money earned from fishing for half a day. Now the speedboat should have arrived at the artificial island reef and will catch the more valuable grouper next.

Yang Qin nodded. Even if other people are good at fishing, they only make a little money. Only Zhao Dahai can make a lot of money by fishing.

"Hey!"

"Forget it!"

"We are not the only ones who can't make as much money as Brother Dahai among the people of the same age. Who in the towns around our town can compare with Brother Dahai?"

"Hey!"

"This is really a business without capital!"

"If you have to say it, it's just that you spend some money to buy a speedboat or other fishing boats and buy some rods, reels and baits. The rest is all money. It depends on the skills in your hands."

Liu Lei waved his hand and stopped thinking about it. When it comes to making money, it's really not just him who can't compare with Zhao Dahai. Many people can't compare with Zhao Dahai.

Yang Qin laughed all of a sudden. Liu Lei's statement makes sense. It's just that this kind of business without capital, trading without capital, is not something that everyone can do.

Ding Jie boiled a pot of water and just made tea. He poured a cup and wanted to take a sip when he suddenly saw a large seafood truck parked at the door.

"Hey!"

"Where did the seafood truck come from?"

Ding Jie was very surprised. He had never seen this truck before. It was afternoon now. His own business or other seafood businesses were already busy. It was impossible for them to appear here now.

Ding Jie thought about it carefully and made sure that he had not made an appointment with anyone to meet here today.

When Ding Jie was wondering, he saw Ding Xiaoxiang push open the door of the seafood truck and walk down.

"Hey!"

"Xiaoxiang!"

"Why are you here? What's going on with this car?"

Ding Jie saw Ding Xiaoxiang walking out quickly, and he was even more confused. What was going on?

Ding Xiaoxiang walked into the company and told the whole story.

"Ah?"

"Are the live sea bass caught by Zhao Dahai in the car? They are all three to five pounds in size?"

Ding Chongshan heard the voices of Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Jie talking and walked out of the rest room.

"Yeah!"

"Dahai went out to sea to fish today. He caught a lot of sea bass and mackerel in the island reef foam area. The big ones were all sold to Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant."

"These are all three to five pounds in size in the car. The restaurant doesn't need such fish. Our family can collect them and sell them to wholesalers or buyers, or just sell them directly at the fish stalls in the town fish market."

Ding Xiaoxiang sat down on the sofa. She was so busy this morning that she didn't have time to eat lunch.

Ding Chongshan nodded, but his attention was not focused on these sea bass.

It is indeed not appropriate to sell sea bass of this size to Hongyun Restaurant, but it is a very good thing for his family.

There is no need to say anything about the price. Whatever the market price is, it will be the price. He will not raise the price or suppress the price.

What Ding Chongshan really cares about is Zhao Dahai and how many fish he caught this time.

Ding Xiaoxiang just had a good time at Hongyun Restaurant and told Ding Chongshan directly that Dahai caught more than 4,700 kilograms of sea bass in the island reef foam area. The mayou fish of more than 10 kilograms or 20 to 30 kilograms are close to 900 kilograms.

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to the seafood truck parked at the door. The sea bass kept on it were about 700 to 800 kilograms, and some were caught and could not be kept alive. The total should be about 1,000 kilograms.

"Ah?"

"Zhao Dahai caught so many fish in the island reef foam area this morning?"

Ding Jie was shocked.

"The tide and water flow in the island and reef foam area have been very good these days. It is estimated that there are only one or two days in a month, so we can catch so many fish. It is impossible to catch so many fish even if we go to the island and reef foam area at other times, especially it is unlikely to catch so many big horse fish."

"These are not the fish caught by Zhao Dahai alone."

"Zhao Dahai has invited Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing together!"

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. Zhao Dahai did catch a lot of fish in the past two days, but it is impossible to catch so many fish every day.

"What about Zhao Dahai? Didn't he go back to the dock? Did he continue to go fishing on artificial islands and reefs?"

Ding Chongshan looked at Ding Xiaoxiang. His daughter was handling this matter. Zhao Dahai was very likely not to go back to the dock to continue fishing.

Ding Xiaoxiang took a sip of tea and nodded. Zhao Dahai should have arrived at the artificial island and reef by now. I don't know if he is fishing or resting and waiting until dark at night to start fishing.

Ding Chongshan pointed to the seafood car at the door and called Ding Jie to unload the fish on the car and weigh it now.

Ding Jie immediately stood up and walked to the seafood truck to get busy. After weighing, he sent it to the live water pool. Then he would see if it should be sold in the town or sent to wholesalers immediately.

"You can't handle it alone, right?"

Ding Chongshan looked at Ding Xiaoxiang with some worry. Ding Xiaoxiang would have to manage the construction of the building in the town next. This was the real big deal. It had nothing to do with how hard it was. The main thing was that Ding Xiaoxiang was too busy to do it. In addition, the houses in the village also had to be started. Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't do all these things alone.
