Chapter 27 Dividends
After about ten minutes, the tide pools gradually appeared. They inspected it together. No one knew about this place yet, and it seemed like it had become their own tide pool.
There really is a large quantity of goods.
The first tide pool is relatively large, with dozens of large conches in it, each larger than a grown man's fist.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Have we encountered a conch nest?"
Mu Chenze looked relaxed, "It's very normal to encounter this kind of situation here."
Chu Xuan squatted down hurriedly and fished out two. The shell surface had brown and yellowish-brown patterns, and the snail mouth was orange-red. They were veined red snails.
They lay eggs from June to August every year.
This type of snail lays a large number of eggs and has few natural enemies, so it can easily cause an infestation and disrupt the ecological balance.
Its meat is plump and delicious, and it is rich in nutritional value. It is worth eating it!
It can not only satisfy your appetite, but also balance the marine ecology.
Not to mention dozens, even hundreds would not be too many for Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze.
The snail meat is cut into slices and stir-fried. Just thinking about it makes me drool.
They stopped talking, just exchanged glances and started fishing.
After fishing in the first tide pool, go to the second tide pool.
There were three sea bass and two mullet in it.
Then go to the third tide pool...
There were good stuff in all the dozen or so tide pools, such as clams, snails, small crabs and the like. They didn't catch any of them, but picked up the more valuable ones. As they caught more, Chu Xuan's two wooden buckets and the large backpack were filled to the brim.
Seeing the tide rising, they did not stay any longer.
Chu Xuan was carrying a large backpack and holding sea-hunting tools in his hands.
Mu Chenze carried two buckets of goods on a shoulder pole, and the two of them went around the mountain road to the dock, planning to sort them there.
"Mu Chenze, are you free to come over tomorrow?"
Tomorrow will bring news about the big tide, which may be even richer than today's harvest.
Mu Chenze has been out to sea with his family's boat these days. According to the time, he will be able to dock before three o'clock tomorrow, and should be able to get here after selling all the fish.
"I have time. Buy two large wicker baskets in advance, the kind with handles. If you have a lot of goods tomorrow, you can carry them on a shoulder pole."
"Okay."
Today's harvest from the sea only included a dozen skinned fish, which Chu Xuan had caught specially despite Mu Chenze's objection. They couldn't be sold for much money, so he wanted to keep them to make grilled fish.
Just as he was about to discuss with Mu Chenze about not selling the skinned fish, Mu Chenze spoke up, "Skinned fish are not worth much. Why don't you take them home and grill them? If you don't know how, I'll write a recipe and send it to you tonight."
Chu Xuan was touched by his thoughtfulness, "Thank you! I will make it and give you half when it's done."
"Okay." Mu Chenze shifted the carrying pole to the other shoulder and continued walking forward. "Chu Xuan, have you ever thought about doing business?"
Chu Xuan already considered him a good friend and didn't hide anything. "I've thought about it. I want to peel the fish and make grilled fish fillets to sell in the county and city. I can make sweet and salty, spicy and hot, and sweet and spicy flavors. What do you think?"
Mu Chenze looked at her with admiration in his eyes, "You are a very thoughtful girl. I support you! From now on, if my fishing boat catches any skinned fish, I will sell them to you at three cents per pound!"
Chu Xuan used to sell skinned fish. Last time, he sold it for seven cents a pound, and the price fluctuated from day to day. He joked, "You're selling it too cheaply. Aren't you afraid your family will scold you?"
"Don't worry, the cheapest skinned fish is three cents a pound. My family won't mind this little money."
"Thank you in advance! However, I will adjust the purchase price according to market conditions. I have the final say on how much I'll charge."
"Okay."
Mu Chenze was too lazy to talk about this topic anymore.
When they were near the dock, Mu Chenze spoke again, "Chu Xuan, give me the backpack. I'm going to sell the goods. You go wait in the ash forest. I'll leave the skinned fish in the bucket for you later. I'll leave six veined red snails. Do you want to keep a few?"
Chu Xuan understood without asking that he was doing this for her own good.
If the villagers knew about the bumper harvest this time, they would definitely ask about the place where the seafood was caught.
It was different when Mu Chenze went to sell, because his family had a boat and he often went to the dock to sell goods, so no one would suspect anything.
Chu Xuan roughly estimated that it could be sold for around four hundred.
"I'll keep six of these snails too, and sell the rest for money, shall we?"
Mu Chenze knew that Chu Xuan was short of money recently. Medical treatment cost money, and he also needed to save money to renovate the other two old houses. Money was needed everywhere, so he did not object.
Chu Xuan took off the backpack from his shoulders, took a long breath, and his shoulders felt relaxed instantly.
Don't be fooled by Mu Chenze's broad shoulders and narrow waist, he is very strong.
He carried a backpack and two buckets of seafood and walked towards the dock.
Go straight to Li Tong's stall.
Li Tong greeted him with a smile, "Chenze, is this not sold out just now?"
Mu Chenze responded politely, "That's right. I haven't had time to divide it yet, so I'll lend you the basin for a while."
"no problem."
Li Tong handed over the wooden basin and helped Mu Chenze divide it.
Mu Chenze reminded me in advance, "Leave me twelve red snails and some skinned fish..."
After about ten minutes, the items are sorted, packed and weighed.
There are 119.6 jin of large-sized red snails, which is 120 jin, so the price is 80 cents per jin, which is 96 yuan in total.
The sea bass is big, weighing 59.7 jin, which is 60 jin. The price is one yuan and fifty cents per jin, a total of 90 yuan.
Seventy-two kilograms of mullet, every one of them alive, was a must-have supplement for visiting patients in the 1980s. It cost 3 yuan per kilogram, and could be sold at a higher price when it was scarce, for a total of 216 yuan.
There are 60 kilograms of octopus, and I sell them at 60 cents per kilogram, for a total of 36 yuan.
A total of 438 yuan.
Settlement on the spot.
Ten minutes later, Mu Chenze walked to the ash tree forest carrying a backpack and a shoulder pole.
As for the wooden barrel, it is in the backpack.
Chu Xuan walked out of the forest, his eyes sparkling. "How was it? How much did it sell for?"
Her expression reminded Mu Chenze of a docile blue whale.
Fatty can be cute sometimes too.
Mu Chenze looked calm as he took out a wad of money from his pocket and put it in Chu Xuan's hand. "I sold it for 438 yuan."
Chu Xuan took it, counted out 300 yuan from it, and handed it to Mu Chenze, "Your dividend."
Mu Chenze didn't take it. "You're giving me too much. Before today, you only went there two or three times to catch seafood, and you only earned 600 yuan at most. You gave me 300 yuan all at once. Isn't that a 50-50 split? I only want 30%. If you don't abide by the agreement, I will change partners. I only want 200 yuan, no change! I found a good place, and I have the final say!"
Chu Xuan couldn't do anything about him. He had never seen such a stupid boss.
I had no choice but to count out two hundred yuan and hand it to him. "I'm not giving you too much this time, Boss Mu. Keep it quickly. It won't be good if someone sees it."
Mu Chenze suppressed his laughter and took the money, "Remember to see a Chinese doctor tomorrow morning."
Without waiting for Chu Xuan's response, he turned and left.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but not look at his back. He had such a great figure, it was really eye-catching!
After returning to the village, she first went to Liu Zhaodi's house to buy a large wicker basket with handles.
Liu Zhaodi had not returned from her sea-hunting trip yet, and only Sanleng was at home. There was only one large wicker basket in the house, and the other one was not finished yet.
Chu Xuan gave him a few instructions, gave him a two-cent deposit, and asked him to come back tomorrow afternoon to pick up two wicker baskets of the same height and size.
Walking towards home.
As soon as I entered the house, Feng Chunhua's voice sounded behind me.
"Chu Xuan, I came to talk to you about something."
Chu Feng heard this and immediately ran over with a wary look in his eyes, "Feng Chunhua, we have nothing to do with you anymore, why are you here?"
Chu Xuan looked at Feng Chunhua calmly...
Baby, pk again, continue to ask for all kinds of votes
