Chapter 716: Early in the morning
Father Zhou replied first, "You can sell them now. Each one weighs about 80-90 taels or 1 jin. They are very well-proportioned. If you keep them for another ten days, all the fish should weigh about 1 jin by the New Year."
One hundred thousand catties of garfish! During the Chinese New Year, even if it is a little cheaper than wild ones, it can definitely be sold for 1.20 or 1.30 yuan per catty.
It can be sold for more than 100,000 in one go. Although it hasn’t paid back the investment yet, it will pay back next year.
And maybe if the market is good this year, it can be sold for 1.5 yuan per pound. After all, the purchase price fluctuates greatly at the end of the year.
No matter what, there must be one hundred thousand yuan.
In recent years, the price of sea bass has not been less than one yuan per catty.
Jiang Xia told Mr. Mai that he was planning to bring a seafood wholesaler's boss over to take a look.
"If the seafood owner takes a liking to our fish, we can hopefully sell the 100,000 kilograms of garfish in one go. I just don't know if they'll take a liking to our garfish."
Father Zhou was washing his hands. He was so excited that he wiped his face with water to clear his mind, fearing that he had heard it wrongly.
The big boss in Hong Kong Island?
If the fish can be sold to Hong Kong Island, the price will be different!
"You just said that a boss from Hong Kong Island will come to see our fish tomorrow?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes."
Father Zhou was excited: "I'm sure you'll like it! The fish in our cages are so well raised! I treat them like my grandchildren!"
Father Zhou picked up the garfish he had brought back from the bucket and said, "Look, it's been more than two hours since we caught it, and it's still so lively! How fresh! How energetic!"
"Well, it looks very good." Jiang Xia tasted the grouper he raised at home on the day he came back. It was bright in color and delicious.
Although the meat is not as firm as wild fish caught from the sea, farmed fish eat more and exercise less, so they are fatter.
But except that the fish meat is slightly looser and fatter than wild ones, and the color is not as red and white as wild ones, there is no other difference from wild ones. This is because the sea water quality there is good and rich in microorganisms. No drugs are used in the entire breeding process to promote growth or prevent disease, and the fish have never been sick. They are fed fish meal, which is almost the same as wild ones.
Jiang Xia is also looking forward to it: "If the fish can be sold to Hong Kong Island, it will definitely make more money than in the mainland, where prices are higher. I just don't know whether we can find a ship to transport it ourselves, or the other party will have a ship to come directly to collect it. The price difference between the two is also huge."
Hong Kong Island is already very developed at this time, and its economy is much better than that of the mainland.
China is now a giant dragon that has just been reborn and is still recovering its vitality. It will take a long time before it can soar into the sky.
Father Zhou: "I'll understand it clearly when the time comes."
Father Zhou is very confident. He even thinks the grouper he raises at home tastes better than those caught from the sea because they are plump and tender!
Nowadays, people like to eat the fattest part of the fish, the belly. One reason is that they think it is smooth and tender, and the other is that people’s stomachs lack oil and water.
Only Wangcai likes to eat the meat on the back of fish. She doesn’t like to eat fat, and she doesn’t eat fatty meat either.
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei again: "When did you come back? Did Uncle Wen's youngest son and eldest grandson come to see you?"
"They came back at 4:45. They came at 5 o'clock. I let them test drive the tractor. They drove well. Tomorrow when we go to buy a large truck, let them go over and test drive it. I'll take a look. Large trucks are different from jeeps. There are many things to pay attention to when driving a large truck."
Zhou Chenglei can drive any car. It can be seen that the two of them have some talent for driving tractors, and they can control it quite well right after learning it.
Zhou Chenglei taught many of his soldiers how to drive, including Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen.
He knew that some people were born with better driving sense than others and could learn it after a while, while some people were not so keen and needed more practice.
Jiang Xia is a talented person. He knows that she learned to drive at the age of 18. She has never driven much after that, but once she holds the steering wheel, she feels like an experienced driver.
"good."
Jiang Xia will go to the city to buy a large truck and a tractor when he goes to pick up Mr. Mai tomorrow.
It is more convenient to equip the food factory with a truck and two tractors.
Tractors are used to transport fresh raw materials, and large trucks are used to deliver goods.
The next morning at eight o'clock, just after the family finished breakfast, someone came to their door.
"Yongfu, is Alei at home?"
Zhou's mother was preparing egg yolks and pumpkin puree for her three children in the kitchen.
Father Zhou was chopping sweet potato leaves in the yard to feed the pigs. He looked up and said, "Sister Huanchang, Hongjie, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Mrs. Huanchang: "It's like this. I heard that your daughter-in-law's factory is hiring drivers. My Hongjie can drive tractors and trucks, and he drives very well. The master who taught him said that he drives well and kept praising him for being smart and learning quickly. Hongjie, did the master who taught you drive praise you like this?"
Zhou Hongjie blushed: "Mom, please stop talking."
That was what he boasted about when he got home. In fact, the master praised Zhou Dalin and Zhou Xiaozhi.
Mrs. Huanchang: "You are not shy, you are being modest! Uncle Yongfu is not an outsider! What are you afraid of!"
Father Zhou: "...I heard from A-lei that he has already found Da-lin and Xiao-zhi from Wen-jun's family."
Jiang Xia just walked downstairs with the child in her arms when she heard someone talking outside.
"I know that they went to learn to drive with Hongjie. The driving instructor said that Hongjie drives better than Dalin and Xiaozhi! To be honest, driving is no joke. If you drive the car into a ditch by mistake and overturn it or hit someone, wouldn't that be bad luck? They are really bad drivers and not steady enough! You should hire Hongjie! Hongjie drives steadily! Even the instructor praised him!"
Zhou Hongjie pulled on Huanchang's wife's clothes and said, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Master Lin praised Dalin and his team for driving better!"
At this time, Uncle Wen's youngest son Zhou Dalin and eldest grandson Zhou Xiaozhi happened to come over. After hearing this, the two stood outside the gate of the courtyard, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Father Zhou was unhappy when he heard this.
Who are you trying to blame for saying such unlucky words so early in the morning?
He said unhappily, "I'm sorry, you're late. A-Lei has already recruited two children from Wenjun's family, so we have enough people. Dalin and the others have completed the employment procedures. And if they can't drive steadily, they will become stable after driving a few more times. A-Lei said they can drive the tractor very steadily and have a natural talent for driving."
When Hongjie heard this, he hurriedly pulled his mother away: "Mom, since there are enough people here, let's go home quickly!"
He, Zhou Dalin and Zhou Xiaozhi are good brothers and play together every day. They asked him to ask if they were still hiring, but he felt embarrassed when his mother said that!
When Huanchang's wife heard this, she slapped his hand and said, "You are hurrying me, hurrying me, hurrying me!"
Yesterday, she knew that Zhou Dalin and his team would be working as drivers for the food factory in Jiangxia and were interviewing. But he didn't urge her to come over! He waited until the interview was over and he went home for dinner in the evening before telling her! She had missed the opportunity! If she had known earlier, she would have asked Zhou Chenglei to try for the interview! She was so angry!
How could I give birth to such a stupid son?
Just like his dad! So stupid, he will never achieve anything in his life!
Aunt Huanchang was pulled by her son and saw Jiang Xia, who was in the house, appear in the living room holding the child.
She hurried in: "Xiao Xia!"
Aunt Huanchang rushed into the living room and Zhou Hongjie couldn't stop her.
"Xiao Xia, I heard that your food factory is recruiting drivers?"
