Chapter 354: There is too much money and the wooden box can hardly hold it.
"Chicken Heart Pendant?!"
Jiang Wen'ang had sharp eyes. Among so many fish of different shapes and sizes, he had a keen eye and immediately spotted the two heart-shaped fish sandwiched among them.
"Yes, there are dozens or even hundreds of other fish, but these fish are the rarest. I only caught two after working so hard for so long." Liang Ziqiang laughed, "But it doesn't matter. These two fish are worth dozens of fish!"
He said this in advance to prevent Jiang Wen'ang from thinking that he didn't understand the market situation of chicken heart hangings and lowered the price.
After some negotiations, all the prices were finalized.
There is no doubt that the price of the chicken heart pendant is the highest, and it is directly set at 50 yuan each!
These two heart-shaped hangings alone are worth a hundred dollars.
Two-color strawberries cost two yuan each, but there were a lot of them. Liang Ziqiang had more than a hundred of them, and they sold for more than two hundred yuan.
Other fish, such as yellow snapper, black and white guandao, diamond butterfly fish, and brown-banded maiden fish, some are slightly cheaper than the blue-mouthed bride by one or two yuan, while others are the same as the blue-mouthed bride fish, which is five yuan each. Among them, the diamond butterfly fish is relatively valuable and sells for six yuan. These fish also sell for about five hundred yuan.
Just from the dazzling array of small fish from the islands and reefs, he earned more than 800 yuan!
The other crew members used fishing rods, which was less efficient. Each of them caught 20 to 30 fish, but their income was just over 100 yuan.
Compared to the five yuan a day salary, this income was indeed a pleasant surprise to them. Liang Ziqiang felt that he had never heard as many compliments as he had today.
"Your big ship should be able to go to the deep sea, right? There are indeed many beautiful small fish on some reef islands in the deep sea. If you encounter them again in the future, remember to find me immediately, you can't go wrong!" Before leaving, Jiang Wenang took a look at the big steel ship and gave a special reminder.
After Jiang Wen'ang left, Liang Ziqiang's valuable goods had not yet been sold out.
What remained were mantis shrimps, four small red snappers, and especially various fins cut from thresher sharks, all of which were good stuff.
When we went to Yuehai Restaurant, the price of mantis shrimps was obviously higher than that at the county purchasing station, at four and a half yuan per catty.
The price of red grouper is 25 yuan, which is 5 yuan higher than that of grouper. It is just a little smaller, and the total weight of four fish is only two kilograms.
The tail fin of the thresher shark was so heavy, and together with the fins from other parts of the body, the shark fin weighed 78.5 jin. The raw shark fin was still 12 yuan per jin, reaching 942 yuan! Adding up the several types, I got more than 1,100 yuan at Yuehai Restaurant!
This time, the money from Yuehai Restaurant, plus the money from Jiang Wenang for the ornamental fish, alone, is already two thousand yuan!
This is also the first time in so many months of going to the deep sea that the income from "illegal" fish catch has exceeded the income from the more than 8,000 kilograms of legitimate fish catch.
All the money he put together, whether it was for official or not, totaled to about 3,800 yuan.
Even after deducting the money for refueling and the crew's wages, there was still 3,000 yuan! When I returned home, I still brought back some deep-sea fish and shrimp.
Now my family no longer has to feel bad for eating striped sea bass like last year. Except for tuna, sturgeon, mantis shrimp, sea grouper and other rare and expensive fish, we can basically try whatever we want.
Since going to the deep sea, the family has never been short of delicious fish and shrimps, and they have truly achieved seafood freedom.
After dinner, the couple looked at the money in the box. It was now neatly arranged in stacks, with each small stack containing one hundred yuan and each large stack containing one thousand yuan.
Adding the three thousand yuan I brought back today, the money saved in the box has now exceeded ten thousand yuan, reaching more than eleven thousand!
With just the cash in front of them, they are now the bona fide "ten thousand yuan households" as the legend goes.
Looking at the pile of money in the box, which was gradually taking up the space next to the clothes, Chen Xiangbei frowned, looking thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about? We finally have more than 10,000 in assets. Why are you still worried?"
"I'm wondering if I should hire a carpenter to make a box for us!" his wife pondered. "If we keep going like this, will this box soon be too full to hold all the money?"
"You're thinking about this?" Liang Ziqiang smiled when he saw his wife's serious expression. "Don't even think about buying new boxes. There's no way one box won't be full!"
"It's up to you!" His wife obviously disagreed with him. "With the money you're making now, I think it's only a matter of time before you fill up a box. Then you won't have anywhere to put it. Where can you find a box?"
"You can do things according to how much money you have. You can spend money in different ways. You should spend it while you earn it!" Liang Ziqiang looked at his wife who was actually a little serious and smiled, "Besides, even if you have some spare money that you don't need for the time being, who would pack several large boxes at home? Is the situation in the countryside really that safe? If I were, I wouldn't have been robbed by ground traps and seabed thieves!"
Chen Xiangbei also saw the money in the box getting higher and higher, so she had an idea without thinking deeply. At this time, she heard her husband say this, which reminded her: "That's right, if someone has several boxes of money at home, it's really not safe!" This time she was really depressed, "Why don't you go out to sea less and earn money more slowly!"
“…”
This is all irrelevant advice.
I bought such a nice big steel boat, but if I don't go out to sea often, I will be unworthy of it...
"Don't worry. The money has been kept in the wooden box because there is not enough money. When there is a lot, no one will keep it at home. I will go to the bank, open an account, and deposit the money in the bank!" Liang Ziqiang said.
"Deposit it in the bank?"
Judging from her expression, Chen Xiangbei had obviously never thought about such a thing.
“Will there be any problem with putting it in the bank?”
She instinctively felt uneasy because she didn't have the money.
Seeing her like this, Liang Ziqiang understood. Speaking of which, in their village these days, there are really few families who open bank accounts and deposit money. The main reason is that everyone doesn't have much spare money, and of course they don't have the awareness or habit to do so.
Having never dealt with banks, it is natural that Chen Xiangbei would react like this.
"It's safer than home, needless to say. If you're worried about the inconvenience, it's actually okay. Whether it's a full-term deposit or a cash deposit, when you really need the money, you can go to the bank and withdraw it immediately! Oh, and it can also make money, how great."
The daughter-in-law was still very obedient. Liang Ziqiang's words quickly changed her mind:
"You have a point. The last time we went to town, I saw a credit union on the corner. It's not far to go to town to deposit or withdraw money, and it's quite convenient."
"Credit union?" Liang Ziqiang shook his head like a peddler's drum: "I'll go directly to the city to deposit it in a bank. Last time I saw a bank in the city, and it's not far from the department store. Anyway, I go to the city often, so it's convenient to go to the bank by the way."
He had really passed by that bank several times, and had paid special attention to it; it was China Construction Bank.
However, the name was somewhat different from that of later generations. When he saw the sign above, it was not called "Construction Bank" at that time, but "People's Construction Bank".
As he made more money, he would have to deal with banks. He had seen branches or "savings offices" under the Bank of China and the Construction Bank near Yuehai, so he could deposit money in any of them.
In fact, he only planned to deposit part of the money in the bank periodically.
He would invest more money in doing things. He would do things as they came. At this stage, he had quite a few things he was planning to do...
