Su Tai was completely relieved after hearing his analysis. "I've been fishing for three days. Do you think this is enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough! I have no idea whether I can sell them or at what price. I already have a lot of them. I will try it out this year and see how it goes next year."
Chen Yi also has a balance in his mind. It is better to make money steadily over the long term than to get rich overnight. At least it is not eye-catching.
In this case, Su Tai did not plan to continue to struggle. After handing over the goods from the villa to Chen Yi, she took some fresh seafood home.
When Shen Yuezhang heard the sound of wooden stakes, he put down his work and went out to open the door.
Call your younger brothers and sisters to come out and help Su Tai carry things.
"Mom! Is this all you've been busy doing for the past three days?"
Su Tai nodded, put the seafood into the kitchen first, took a breath, and said, "I'm going to your grandparents' house. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mom, we can help!" the twins said in unison.
Shen Yuezhang scolded: "It's obvious that you just want to go to your grandparents' house to cause trouble, and you even say it so righteously."
Shen Yuean was dissatisfied, "You said it as if Big Sister didn't want to go!"
"Okay, let's go!" Su Tai stopped the children from quarreling.
This time she brought back more than 200 blue crabs of various sizes, a large basket of small octopuses, some squids, ten quick-frozen swordfish, a basket of large yellow croakers, a basket of pomfret, some eels, and two cages of prawns.
These eels were caught sporadically and in small quantities, so she planned to keep them for her children to eat and for visiting relatives.
"Come here and help me load the baskets." Su Tai made use of free labor as much as possible.
The mother and her two children worked until noon and finally loaded the seafood they were going to take away onto the carriage.
The twins were so frightened by what happened last time that they got into the car very carefully, fearing that they would frighten the horses again. Su Tai teased them for a while.
Shen Congrong helped them out and came out of the carriage, “Mom, let me help you drive the carriage!”
"You? Can you do it?" Su Tai expressed doubt.
Shen Congrong did not argue. He took the reins and drove the car in an orderly manner. He even knew to change direction in advance when he came to a turn.
Su Tai followed for a while and couldn't help nodding, "Not bad, who did you learn from?"
Shen smiled calmly and confidently, "Mom, have you forgotten that our family has to deliver Guokui every day? Although there are many people who come to pick up the goods, we also run a lot. My two cousins have taught me, as well as some uncles in the village. Not only me, but even my eldest sister can do it."
"Yue Zhang knows it?" Su Tai really didn't know.
Shen Yuezhang in the carriage lifted the curtain, covered his mouth and laughed, "Mom, we know a lot of things, but you don't know it. Yu'er and An'an were not convinced because we all know how to drive a carriage, and they wanted to compete with us, so they scared the horses."
Su Tai suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but glare at the twins in the carriage, "See if you dare to mess around again next time!"
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!" The twins felt very aggrieved.
Not only did I almost lose my life that time, but I was also punished by my parents for several days. I never want to drive a horse carriage again in my life!
As they were talking, the carriage entered Dongmen Village.
It is winter and it gets dark quickly. It is already pitch black at the hour of You.
Su Chunlin was pleasantly surprised to see his daughter, grandson, and granddaughter coming back. He hurried out to pick up the children. When he saw Su Tai carrying a rattan basket, he couldn't help but complain, "You're here, but what else did you bring? Eh? What is this? It looks like a real fish? Did Shen Yi make it for the children?"
"Hahahaha" the twins laughed uncontrollably.
Shen Congrong couldn't help laughing, "Grandfather, this is seafood shipped from the sea over in Qiongzi. It's real fish and shrimp, edible!"
Su Tai rolled her eyes and opened the blue crab to show Su Chunlin, "It's alive! Feel it and feel it."
Su Chunlin poked the giant blue crab and saw it move. His eyes widened. "Oh my God! Such a big crab, it must have opened its eyes after being cut by a knife! Wait a minute!"
Su Chunlin ran out quickly.
Su Tai knew what he was going to do without even thinking about it.
Wait until all the seafood is moved to the main room.
All the nearby villagers came over to watch the fun.
A group of people gathered around the seafood and exclaimed in amazement.
"Oh my goodness! I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen such big fish at once, and in a bunch! Did we disturb the water god's nest?"
"What nonsense! It's clearly the blessing of the water god and the protection of the gods! Otherwise, how could we catch so many big fish!"
"What does the sea look like? How can there be such a big fish?"
"It should be bigger than the Great Xun River!"
"What do you mean bigger? I think it's more than twice as big! You won't find such a big fish in our Daxun River!"
The villagers gathered together and talked more and more outrageous things.
Su Tai had to explain to everyone, "This sea is as big as the sky. The sea is about the same size as the sky."
"Hiss! I can't even imagine it! No wonder it can hold so many big fish!" Su Changxi widened his eyes and tried hard to picture the sea in his mind, but he couldn't imagine it.
Su Yu pondered and said, "The book says that the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and even hundreds of rivers can accommodate them. It can be seen that it is really as big as the sky! If the sea is as big as the sky, it is not surprising that there are big fish in it!"
Su Tai agreed deeply, "My cousin is really knowledgeable! Just a simple explanation will make everyone understand. The fish you see in the sea are just shrimps, not big at all. The real big fish are bigger than our yard, and there are many of them!"
The villagers were stunned when they heard this.
In the past they would have definitely said that Su Tai was bragging, but with so many big fish in front of them, they dared not doubt what Su Tai said. Their brains were limited and they did not dare to think about it too much.
Su Changfu asked curiously, "Xiaotai, I heard that Qiongzi is very far away and the journey is difficult. How did you get so many seafood?"
Su Tai slapped her thigh, "Uncle, you got the point! Qiongzi is in the north of the wasteland. We have to go through the wasteland to get there. It's really difficult in the winter. But if it's any other season, the seafood will go bad before it reaches us! We can only take the risk!"
This is the first year, and we don’t know how it will turn out. We’ll give it a try first. If we can make money, we’ll try again next year. If we can’t, we’ll just give it a try. After all, it takes a month to go back and forth, and the cost of transporting these seafood is extremely high, so the risk is really high.”
Although everyone had never heard of the sea, and didn't even know Qiong Zi, they knew about the ice field and how harsh the environment there was. They didn't even dare to think about having to cross the entire ice field to get some seafood.
Su Changfu couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that it is easy for businessmen to make money, but making money also comes with great risks. It is really unrealistic to want to live in peace and make a lot of money.
How do you sell seafood? "
Su Tai didn't expect Su Changfu's mind to work so quickly, and she almost couldn't keep up with his pace.
"Uncle, since you asked, I will tell you, but I have to say in advance that seafood is really expensive. If you want to try it, just let my mother cook a table for you. I am also going to ask my cousin to send it to the imperial capital to try. I really don't expect to be able to sell it here." (End of this chapter)
