Chapter 64: Continue to Go to the Sea
Qin Mahua refused to let go, but the strength in her hands lessened.
Mu Chenze muttered quietly, "Chu Xuan has helped our family so much, why don't you agree?"
Qin Mahua freed one hand and slapped him on the back.
"It's because she's done such a great favor for our family that we don't agree to you taking any dividends, and we're even asking for a 50-50 split. You're so bold to ask for that!"
Others echoed, “That’s right!”
Mu Chenze finally understood that everyone didn't disagree with him helping Chu Xuan sell grilled fish fillets, but they disagreed with the dividends.
She patiently explained, "It's not that I insist on a share of the profits, but Chu Xuan insists on giving it to me. She said that if I don't agree, she will definitely not cooperate with me. She also said that in the future, the grilled fish fillet workshop will be handed over to the village, and let Village Chief Wang lead the villagers to prosperity. Then she can just take the profits. But the old Chinese doctor said that she is obese and can't stay up late anymore, otherwise she will die..."
After much talk, the family finally agreed to share the profits.
Only then did Mu Chenze breathe a sigh of relief.
After deciding this, Qin Mahua slapped his head and said, "I forgot, Xiaoze, your father and elder brother specially left eels in a bucket in the kitchen. Don't forget to take them with you when you go out at night. Didn't you say you were giving them away?"
Mu Chenze felt a little embarrassed, "Mom, don't mention the eel anymore."
Qin Mahua asked tentatively, "You weren't planning to give it to that liar Boss Yao before, were you?"
"That's right. I'll take that bucket of eels to the dock to sell them, and I'll also tell Chu Xuan about it."
Starting tonight, help Chu Xuan sell grilled fish fillets when you go to the city.
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze arrived at Chu Xuan's house pulling a cart.
Chu Feng had fallen asleep, and Chu Xuan was standing alone in the yard.
After he explained his purpose, Chu Xuan took the initiative to shake hands with him.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Chu Xuan’s mood at the moment was that she could have a good rest at night and go to the county town to sell grilled fish fillets during the day when she was free, so as not to delay making money.
Mu Chenze's mood was a little complicated at the moment.
Because it was the first time that someone of the opposite sex shook hands with me.
At this moment, he once again thought of how his first kiss was taken away by Chu Xuan.
His face turned red to his ears.
There was a light in the yard at this time, but it was a little dim, and Chu Xuan couldn't see clearly. After letting go of his hand, she took out the cooperation agreement that had been drafted in advance.
It’s not that she was afraid that Mu Chenze would cheat her, but rather she wanted to prevent Mu Chenze from suffering any loss.
The agreement states that the net profits will be split 50-50. If the parties refuse to accept this, the cooperation will be terminated.
After signing the agreement, Liu Chao was informed of the reserved stall, commission, and Boss Yuan's order for 1,000 kilograms of grilled fish fillets to be delivered in three days.
The Mu family has a cart. From now on, they will come before 10 o'clock every night to pick up the grilled fish fillets to be sold in the city early the next morning.
Tonight, Mu Chenze will first take away the 300 kilograms that have been packed in advance.
A rough calculation shows that the net profit of each pound of grilled fish fillets is between 60 cents and one dollar. After all, the price varies depending on the shipment volume.
Chu Xuan walked Mu Chenze out the door and suddenly asked, "You persuaded Aunt Qin to sell me the women's watch at a low price, right?"
Of course Mu Chenze would not admit it, "No. Besides, this watch is defective. It's good enough if it can be sold for 60 yuan."
"I knew you wouldn't admit it. Don't subsidize me in disguised ways in the future. You should save money! Buy a house in the city in the future so your children can enjoy a better education."
"I understand. Hurry and close the gate!"
Mu Chenze threw down these words and pulled the cart away.
And didn't look back.
If there were outsiders around, they would see a fat man standing at the gate, watching him leave intently.
That night, Chu Xuan did not suffer from insomnia because he had slept too much during the day.
Sleep till dawn.
At around six in the morning, Chu Xuan got up, washed, made some Chinese medicine, and prepared breakfast. Chu Feng went to open the courtyard gate first, and then went into the kitchen to help.
After dinner, I started to boil Chinese medicine.
After a while, Widow Niu came over pulling a cart full of skinned fish.
Just after unloading the goods, Gao Meijuan, Qin Mahua and others came in. Without time to chat, they took their positions and started working.
In fact, Qin Mahua wanted to thank Chu Xuan in person, but because there were so many people around, she didn't mention it.
Some things are better left to them alone.
At around eight o'clock, Chu Xuan drank some Chinese medicine. Seeing that there were enough people at home, he took the tools for catching seafood, said goodbye to everyone, and went out.
Today's schedule is quite tight. I go to the sea to sell fish, rush to the county town at noon to sell grilled fish fillets, and pick out gifts by the way. I rush back before dark and take Xiaofeng to Accountant Wen's house to give gifts. In the evening, I go to Grandpa Wang's house to give gifts and discuss things.
Chu Xuan walked around the mountain road and came to the place where people went to catch seafood.
The tide has begun to recede, but the water in the tide pool has not yet completely receded.
She had nothing to do, so she wandered around on the wet beach.
I found many king clam holes, so I took out a small shovel and tried to dig one out. I actually dug out a king clam as thick as a thumb.
With this quality and size, it’s no problem to sell them individually, and they can be sold for about one dollar each.
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring salt today, otherwise I could have saved a lot of effort.
Dig as many as you can.
Catch the king clam and dig in its hole.
After half an hour, I was exhausted and out of breath, but I dug out a total of ten king clams as thick as thumbs.
These are all valuable things!
She must bring salt tomorrow. When the time comes, she will sprinkle the salt into the king clam's hole and the king clam will automatically drill out.
I got up, put on my backpack and headed to the tide pool.
When I got there, I found some good stuff.
Ten minutes later, a mullet weighing more than ten pounds and two sea bass weighing seven or eight pounds were put into the bucket.
There are three sea cucumbers about 20 centimeters long and a dozen abalone on the huge rock wall.
I was picking up fish with great enthusiasm when I suddenly heard the sound of fish hitting the beach not far away.
Is there a large shipment?
Looking up, I saw a whale about ten meters long stranded on the beach.
I put the backpack on my back again and ran over to take a look. Its whole body was light blue, with light-colored fine markings on its back, white spots on its chest, and two blowholes on the top of its head, just like a blue whale.
This is a relatively gentle type of whale, otherwise Chu Xuan would not dare to save it.
Chu Xuan patted the blue whale's back and said, "Meeting is fate. Be good and I will drag you back to the sea."
The blue whale seemed to understand her words and rubbed its head against the beach gently.
There was a long rope in Chu Xuan's backpack, which was originally prepared for emergency use in case of danger when going to the sea. Unexpectedly, the first time he used it, it was to tie a whale.
Before tying it up, Chu Xuan was a little hesitant, worried that it would mistakenly think that he was going to harm it, so he spoke to it gently first.
"My dear blue whale, I'm going to tie you up with a rope so I can drag you back to the sea as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid, just cooperate!"
I'm really afraid that this guy will swing his tail and hit her.
It is true that Chu Xuan is huge, but compared with this guy, he is like a big tree and a sapling.
Chu Xuan is that vulnerable sapling.
After comforting the blue whale for a while, he dared to tie it up.
The rope was indeed long for Chu Xuan, but it was barely usable for this guy.
After tying it up, Chu Xuan pulled the rope with his hands, trying to pull the guy into the sea. After taking a few steps, his hands hurt. If he continued like this, the palms of his hands would definitely be rubbed.
Don't use brute force.
Chu Xuan was trying hard to think of ways to save energy...
