Chapter 373 Cooperation in Selling Goods
Redwood fish has many nicknames, most people call them "Red Three" and "Melon Three".
There are many ways to eat it. It can be steamed, fried, stewed with tomatoes, or made into soup. The meat is tender and smooth. There is no need to scrape the scales when steaming. The skin can be torn off after it is cooked. It tastes original. If used to make soup, it is best to fry the redwood fish until golden brown first, and then mix it with other ingredients such as tofu. The soup will be milky white and extremely fresh and delicious.
This thing can be stored in many ways, such as fresh-frozen, pickled and dried, making it suitable for long-distance trading.
There happened to be one in the nearby sea, so Su Tai rearranged the wicker basket, set the target, and took action!
Judging from the time, I only need to catch two more nets before I can call it a day.
It just so happens that redwood fish has good economic value, so let’s take it!
Since both nets target the same fish, the operation is quite convenient. After the first net is finished, pause and wait for the fish to enter the rattan basket before lifting it up, placing the basket for the second time and continuing fishing.
When she brought all the seafood back to the yard, it was already dark outside.
There were voices talking outside the door.
Su Tai was startled and quickly packed her things and changed her clothes before going to open the door.
Shen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although she was tired, she was in good spirits.
Master Pu couldn't wait to enter the yard. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was so scared that he sat down on the snow, "Chen Yi, your yard has been occupied by fish!"
Shen Yi went in and took a look. Wow! The yard of more than one acre was now filled with fish, without even a blank area.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the mountains and the sea.
Master Pu got up from the ground and ran to the side of the swordfish, gesturing non-stop, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, "Chen Yi, this fish is too big! It's almost as big as half of my body! And this, what is this? It's so beautiful!"
"That's a redwood fish." Su Tai took the time to reply to him.
Shen Yi whispered in her ear, "Why did you put all the fish in the yard?"
Su Tai exhaled helplessly, "Do you think I want to? This time we caught some big sea fish with strong vitality. They can survive for a while even out of water. If they come and see that the fish are alive, we won't be able to explain. The best way is to throw them in the yard and freeze them quickly. They may be able to swim a few times after thawing. Don't you think so?"
"That's too scary!" Shen Yi got goosebumps when he thought of that scene.
Su Tai also raised the corner of her mouth.
Mr. Pu was already stuck in the pile of fish and couldn't get out.
Fortunately, it is the coldest time of the year now, and the fish are frozen when they are fresh, so there is no fishy smell.
Mr. Pu wants this and that.
When Shen Yi moved out the large yellow croaker, pomfret and prawns, he wished he could move a box as well.
In just two quarters of an hour, Mr. Pu had picked out three baskets of seafood. The three swordfish weighing more than 20 kilograms alone cost one hundred and fifty taels, and the other fish and shrimps together cost about three or four hundred taels.
Shen Yi was afraid that he would spend money impulsively, so he hurriedly dissuaded him, "Master Pu, can you finish buying so much food?"
Master Pu glanced at him arrogantly, "Who are you looking down on? It's almost the New Year, so I'll give some seafood to people. It will give you both face and money! It's also very suitable for building relationships."
When Shen Yi heard this, he stopped persuading her and even helped pick out several items.
After seeing Mr. Pu off, the couple earned six hundred taels of silver.
When Chenzhuang Chenmu and the villagers from Zhangjia Village came over, they were also shocked by the fish in the yard.
Especially the mackerel, several people didn't even dare to touch it, and it took them half a day to get used to it.
The things have been packed and the warehouse is almost full of space.
The caravan hadn’t returned yet, so Shen Yi called Ma Xingteng.
Ever since Shen Yi started repairing the bridge, the two hadn't met in private for a long time. It was rare that Shen Yi took the initiative to ask him out, so Ma Xingteng had to rush over.
"Brother Shen, why did you suddenly think of having tea with me today? By the way, your floating bridge is really well built! I just walked on it as if it were flat ground, without any need to be nervous."
Facing Ma Xingteng's compliments, Shen Yi just found it funny, asked him to sit down and drink tea, and said: "The New Year is coming soon, Brother Ma, have you ever thought about making more money?"
Ma Xingteng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned forward, "Good brother, do you have any good business to help me?"
He knew that Shen Yi had formed his own caravan, and the Ma family also had their own caravan, but it was only a small caravan. It was fine to go to nearby provincial capitals, but not to far away places.
As far as he knew, in the entire Zhaohua County, only the Zhu family had a powerful caravan that could travel long distances. Anyone else who wanted to go on a long journey to do business had to find an escort agency.
Chen Yi's caravan is the only one in Zhaohua County that can travel far to do business without worrying about bandits.
Cooperating with Shen Yi is definitely a sure win.
Seeing Ma Xingteng's eyes sparkling, Shen Yi didn't keep him in suspense and brought out a box of seafood, "Look at these goods."
When the box was opened, Ma Xingteng was stunned. "Are these real fish? Where did they come from? Where did you get them?"
"Qiong Zi."
Ma Xingteng suddenly realized and gave Chen Yi a thumbs up, "Brother! You have done this business so well that I really have nothing to say! Tell me, how can we cooperate?"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you agree?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Who would pass up such a good deal!" Ma Xingteng seemed particularly excited.
Shen Yi took out the contract he had prepared in advance.
Ma Xingteng took it and looked at it carefully. The handwriting on the contract was not very good, but he could clearly see what was written.
"You mean I help you sell the goods and we split the money we make 20% to 80%?"
Shen Yi nodded, "Can you accept it?"
“How are you going to sell it?”
Shen Yi said slowly, "A Spanish mackerel weighing more than 20 jin costs 50 liang, and more than 30 jin costs 80 liang. A yellow croaker costs 10 liang, a pomfret costs 5 liang, and a redwood fish costs 5 liang. A large prawn costs 200 wen, a medium-sized one costs 120 wen, and a small one costs 500 wen per jin."
Ma Xingteng looked at the goods in the box and nodded thoughtfully, "This price is fair, but how much goods do you have?"
If it's just a little bit, he won't make any money!
Shen Yi took him directly to the villa, where the villagers of Zhangjia Village were loading goods. The seafood in the yard blinded his eyes.
Before Shen Yi could speak, Ma Xingteng was already hugging Shen Yi and laughing wildly, "Okay, okay! I'll do as you say! I'll have someone come over to pick up the goods today!"
Ordinary people have never heard of seafood, but rich people definitely know about it and understand its preciousness. This trip is mainly to nearby provincial capitals and counties, and I should be able to earn a lot by the end of the year.
The more Ma Xingteng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he rushed away with 5,000 kilograms of goods before dark.
After Su Tai found out, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you cooperate with Master Pu, but choose Ma Xingteng instead?"
Chen Yi sighed helplessly, "Master Pu is old, much smarter than Ma Xingteng, and his family is in Dahe Town. If he is really allowed to get involved in this deal, Master Pu will definitely send someone to keep an eye on it given his cautious nature. I'm afraid it will be exposed.
Ma Xingteng is different. He is not as successful as Master Pu, and the Ma family is not as wealthy as the Pu family. Ma Xingteng has limited people to use, and he has no roots in Moshi Town, which can minimize the risk of this deal. "
