Chapter 245 Customers are waiting for your chicken claw snails, weigh them quickly
Zhu Tianpeng was afraid that it would be difficult to travel when it got completely dark, so he refused to stay for dinner and was eager to go back.
There were still some white shrimps, blue crabs and bluefin bream left on the boat. Seeing that he was in a hurry to return to Xiaolang Village, Liang Ziqiang asked him to take some back with him so that he could steam some shrimps and crabs for himself.
Zhu Tianpeng took it in his hand and went to Xiaolang Village.
Liang Ziqiang picked up the remaining shrimps, crabs and green croakers and returned to Juzipo with Lizhi.
Before I even reached the door of my house, I heard Liang's mother yelling at someone. She was scolding Liang Lizhi: "This damn girl, I don't know where she has gone crazy again! Chickens and ducks know to go to their roosts, but she doesn't even know how to go home until dark. Just wait and see how I'll deal with her when I find her!"
Lizhi vaguely saw her mother holding a bamboo stick and about to go out, as if she was going to the village to catch her.
She was so scared that she instinctively shrank behind Liang Ziqiang: "What should I do, second brother? It hurts to hit someone with a bamboo stick!"
Unexpectedly, Liang's mother heard her voice and ran over to grab Liang Ziqiang from behind:
"You still feel pain! I asked you to weave the web and your whole body felt uncomfortable. Now you run out to play and feel comfortable?!"
Liang Ziqiang hadn't even put down the bucket when he quickly snatched the stick from his mother's hand: "Mom, Lizhi came back late because she was helping me with work!"
After explaining the situation to my mother in detail, Lychee was able to avoid the meal of stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots.
The family was already waiting for them to come back for dinner.
Recently, Liang's mother had to take care of Chen Xiangbei, so the five of them cooked and ate together. Liang Ziqiang would go to town in advance to buy rice, meat and vegetables.
The dinner was very rich, better than the fresh food he brought back today. In addition to leafy vegetables, there were steamed scallops and boiled prawns. The scallops and prawns were both brought back from the Nameless Island yesterday, and they were delicious, needless to say.
His wife has not been so interested in sour food recently, and her taste has basically returned to being similar to theirs.
The vinegar smell that had lingered in the house for months finally dissipated. But when he came to hug his wife at night, he found another smell.
It wasn't the faint fragrance that always emanated from her body, nor was it the smell of vinegar, but a milky scent.
This fragrance has a mature scent, and coupled with her now fairer and plumper appearance, it really makes people feel a little distracted.
Liang Ziqiang tried hard to recall it, and then he remembered that it seemed to be true. In her previous life, when she gave birth to two babies, she began to have a faint milky fragrance some time before the babies were officially born.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub it gently, causing her to whimper: "What are you doing again!"
Liang Ziqiang was surprised:
"I thought you had started making food for the baby in advance, but you didn't? Then why do I smell a milky aroma?"
"The milk powder you bought has been opened. It's in the drawer beside the bed. Could it be that smell?" Chen Xiangbei dodged, not wanting him to continue rubbing it.
"No, let me hug you again. I can't do anything else, but hugging and rubbing is not enough? No, this is not the smell of milk powder, it's your own body..."
In fact, the smell of milk does not only appear after the baby is born, but it actually starts two or three months in advance. It’s just that Chen Xiangbei herself didn’t pay much attention to it.
I don’t know if he was tired during the day or if it was just comfortable hugging his wife like this, but he slept so soundly.
The next day, the sky turned from cloudy to sunny. Liang Ziqiang decided to sell all the conches and abalones he brought back from Wuming Island at Yuehai Restaurant.
Zhu Tianpeng naturally didn't come today. Liang Ziqiang had already told him yesterday that he had to go buy new floating nets the next day no matter what the weather was, so he asked Zhu Tianpeng to rest at home for a day and do his own work.
It is indeed time for Liang Ziqiang to buy the floating thorn net.
The last time I went to the town, I only bought two large floating gill nets of 70 meters. The main consideration at that time was that I had to rotate them. One net had to be collected on the boat and brought back to the shore to slowly pick up the fish, and the other one had to be put into the channel on the spot to intercept new fish.
In addition to the rotation, there is also the issue of breakage and destruction, which he ignores.
He had not expected the damage to be so serious. The net was completely destroyed by the croakers and mackerels, and there were so many holes that it was not even worth repairing. He had to buy a new net. Otherwise, the next time he went to Longjuling to collect the nets, he would have to collect the old ones and there would be no new nets for the third round.
Before buying the floating gillnet, I naturally took some conches and abalone and sailed to Sham Shui Po.
After the boat stopped, Liang Ziqiang immediately rushed to Yuehai Restaurant.
"You didn't bring bird's nest this time?" Du Ziteng glanced at him subconsciously when he saw him coming. Seeing that he was not carrying a light snakeskin bag this time, but a bucket, he asked.
Hearing him ask this, Liang Ziqiang felt that the bird's nest that was served twice would be more popular with customers, so he put down the bucket and asked:
"How was the bird's nest last time? Did the customers like it?"
"It's quite popular with customers from Hong Kong Island. You know that our Yuehai mainly does business with customers from Hong Kong Island, and also some customers from Southeast Asia. Next time you have bird's nest, just bring it over." Du Ziteng stood up, "What is it this time? Finally, there's grouper?"
Seeing the expectation on his face, Liang Ziqiang felt a little embarrassed:
"I fished for half a day but didn't catch any grouper. I don't think I'll catch that many groupers in the future unless I find a new grouper nest. Fortunately, there are still some conches and abalones, so I got some!"
When he told him there were chicken snails, Du Ziteng's disappointment instantly eased and he bent down to look into the bucket.
"Finally, we have chicken claw snails again. Customers are looking forward to it! The quality of these large chicken claw snails and abalone remains the same as before. And the long-haired prawns? They look quite fat. You have sold long-haired prawns here before. Ordinary long-haired prawns cost more than one dollar, but I will give you six dollars for this big one!"
Du Ziteng picked up these seafood and spoke as he looked at them.
There is usually no point in arguing with Du Ziteng about the price, so after a few simple words, we will rush to the warehouse to weigh the goods.
There are 13.4 jin of chicken claw snails, and the price is 18 yuan per jin, which is equivalent to 241.2 yuan.
The three-headed abalone weighed more than twelve pounds, and was sold for ten yuan per pound, for one hundred and twenty-five yuan.
In addition, there were not many long-haired prawns, but there were 8.6 jin (15.6 kg), 6 yuan per jin, which is 51.6 yuan.
The total of the three items was 417.80 yuan. When he arrived at the accounting office, Du Ziteng paid him 418 yuan on the spot.
The revenue from selling goods in Yuehai this time was obviously lower than last year. The main reason was that we were missing a very important piece: we didn’t catch any grouper.
Of course, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find chicken claw snails. After all, the more you pick, the fewer there are.
I made an appointment with Du Ziteng to wait until this batch of snails was almost digested, and then he would bring new stock in two weeks.
It didn’t take too long to sell the seafood this time. It wasn’t even noon yet when we came out of Yuehai.
He went to the department store not far from Yuehai and bought a few packs of White Rabbit snacks and some other food.
I bought two packs of White Rabbit snacks for Liang Lizhi as "work money" and one pack for Xiaohai. But I only bought one pack for my wife.
Chen Xiangbei is now on his own with milk powder and chicken soup, so he doesn't lack much nutrition. Eating too much sugar at this stage may not be good for him. If things go wrong, she will even nag him, saying that he is wasting money.
But he went to the agricultural and sideline products market again and bought some apples and walnuts. Last time at the county hospital, the doctor also said that eating apples and walnuts properly is good for pregnant women and fetuses.
Eggs are something we eat often, so I bought some.
White Rabbit is expensive, and together with a bunch of walnuts, eggs and apples, the total cost was more than 30 yuan.
On the way back, we stopped at the coast near the town and went ashore to buy a floating gill net.
Large floating thorn nets are not cheap. He needs one that is 70 meters long, which is more than ten times the length of a normal fishing net. In addition, the width is also much wider than that of an ordinary fishing net.
The price is naturally ten or twenty times that of ordinary fishing nets, at thirty-five yuan per piece.
He had to buy at least two more as a backup. Judging from the current situation, it was highly likely that the floating thorn net would be destroyed, it just depended on the degree of damage.
If the damage is minor, it can be repaired in a few days. But if the damage is as severe as last time, you can only replace it directly.
He had to be mentally prepared that for every few hundred dollars of fish he caught, he would have to waste a net worth tens of dollars. This was a cost that was difficult to avoid with the floating gillnet method.
Two large gull nets cost him seventy dollars.
There is no gain without loss, and he believed that by taking advantage of the spring flood season over the next month, he could set up several floating gill nets in Longjuling.
Even though floating gillnets indiscriminately catch a large number of cheap fish every time, there will definitely be a lot of valuable fish.
With such a large catch of more than 1,000 kilograms of fish, the income must be high no matter how you look at it.
After buying two floating razor nets, he also bought some wire, anchors, and network cables, intending to make some new underwater razor nets when he had time and throw them near Longjuling.
Large floating barbed nets and seabed sluices are the best combination to deal with the spring flood in Longjuling. When used together, money comes faster.
