One child was mischievous and clever, while the other was calm and composed. Ye Xiaocui's smile never stopped.
Just as the children ran out with the meatballs, there was another commotion at the door. Yuanbao rushed out quickly, and Fu Wan was about to peek out to see who it was when she was surprised to find that it was Fu San and Fu Laoda who had returned together.
"Third Uncle, have you had dinner yet?"
Fu Wan greeted him, and Fu San shook his head with a smile, "Not yet, your sister-in-law is making it."
"Ah Wan, come here quickly, I need to compare yesterday's orders with yours."
Upon hearing about the list, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly urged Fu Wan to go out.
"Ah Wan, you should go quickly. These meatballs are almost done. I'll just cook two more dishes."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan washed her hands, wiped them on the apron next to her, and then went out.
Fu Laoda didn't have time to give Fu Wan the order form yesterday, so as soon as he got back, he went into the house and took out the large stack of forms.
Just then, Fu Ming returned from outside. He had gone out for a stroll in the evening and happened to run into Fu Liang, who called him to say he had something to do.
Upon hearing the order, he didn't even have time to taste the meatballs before rushing into the main house.
Fu San brought in quite a few orders; he's been in business for so long, he's still quite shrewd.
The manifests for the four ships were sewn together separately. Fu Wan only needed to check with him the manifests for the "Riding the Waves," "Returning Fully Loaded," and "Setting Sail." As for the "Forward," Fu San would ask Fu Liang to check them later.
The combined catch from the three ships was quite substantial, with the fish alone weighing nearly a ton on the "Sailing Against the Wind" ship.
Fu San had Lin Qiuju and his brother-in-law help him calculate early in the morning. Although the three of them combined couldn't even finish elementary school, they had all attended literacy classes for a few years and could still do basic arithmetic.
Besides the yellow croaker and the large yellow croaker, the other catches from "Riding the Waves" totaled over 45,000 yuan.
Because he was worried that the yellow croakers wouldn't survive, Fu San told the bosses last night that everyone should sit down together this morning to bid, and the highest bidder would win.
It's funny to think about it. Sun Youjin had no idea about this last night, mainly because everyone was so busy unloading that Fu Wan forgot to tell Sun Youjin.
Fortunately, Fu San had paged all the wealthy bosses last night, so Sun Youjin came running over early this morning.
Unfortunately, he didn't manage to buy the yellow croaker; instead, it was taken by a businessman from Guangdong province.
Of course, the price was also very attractive, at 288,000. If it were just 80,000 less, Sun Youjin could have gotten it.
But the fish he bought the day before had emptied his wallet, and even Diamond Sun Laowu could only watch helplessly as his beloved yellow croaker was sold to someone else.
However, they didn't manage to buy the yellow croaker, and the big yellow croaker that Boss Fu caught was taken away by Sun Youjin.
Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed.
The large yellow croaker weighed five jin and six liang, and Sun Youjin bought it for five hundred yuan.
Actually, this price is far higher than the market price, but Old Sun is rich and willful, and the other bosses, seeing that there was a sucker, did not come out to grab it.
As Fu Wan listened to Fu San's ramblings, she flipped through the list in her hand. She glanced at the numbers at the bottom of the list and immediately noticed something was amiss.
"Third Uncle, I remember you take a 5% cut, so why is this calculation wrong?"
Based on a 5% commission, after deducting the commission, Fu Wanguang's earnings from the "Riding the Waves" should be over 316,000.
The remittance slip for Ke Fu San clearly shows a sum of 326,000!
Fu San chuckled upon hearing this, "I haven't told you about this yet. I went back last night and discussed it with your aunt. Your family has a lot of valuable fish, especially after you bought the big boat, all of which are top-quality fish."
So I figured five points were too many, so I'd just pick two. Anyway, all I did was arrange for people to unload and weigh the goods; it wasn't too tiring.”
Fu Wan and Fu Ming were both somewhat surprised by these words.
Boss Fu was stunned for a moment, then punched Fu San on the shoulder with his fist.
"You little brat, you made this decision without telling me beforehand?"
"Hehe, big brother, I was just afraid you wouldn't agree."
Fu San smiled very frankly, "Big brother, A-Ming and A-Wan, it's true that your third uncle is a businessman, but I can't do anything to harm my own family."
In our village, other fish are scarce, and not many are valuable.
I arrange for people to unload and weigh the goods, then transport them to the county town to sell; all of this incurs costs. So, they take a 5-6% cut, and only then do I make a profit.
But for your boats, I only unloaded and weighed the cargo yesterday. The fish were basically picked up directly by the bosses.
Especially since Sun Youjin is a connection to Awan, if I, Fu San, were to take a 5% cut, that money would be too hot to handle!
He does want to make money, that's true, but he can't do it this way.
Fu San laughed again as he said this, "Hey, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, even if it's only two points, besides paying the helpers, I still made this much money this time!"
Having said that, he held up one finger, and Fu Ming's eyes widened. "A thousand?!"
"No, it's ten thousand!"
"Damn, Third Uncle, why don't I just work for you!"
He was just touched, but if he wasn't mistaken, his own Sailing Ship didn't even earn this much!
No wonder so many people used to be middlemen; this guy made more money by just a couple of transactions than he did at sea for several days!
"Come on, come on, I'm short-staffed!"
When Fu San heard that Fu Ming wanted to work with him, he welcomed it with open arms.
Of course, he also knew that this kid was just talking big.
Sure enough, the next second, Fu Ming shook his head repeatedly.
"Forget it, running a purchasing station isn't fun. Going overseas is much more interesting."
Fu San nodded in agreement. Running a purchasing station was indeed not fun. Only Fu Wan's family had a lot of seafood, which directly boosted his business.
Otherwise, with the small amount of fish sold in the village, they could only earn a couple hundred yuan a month.
Fu San transferred the proceeds from the "Riding the Waves" ship directly to Fu Wan's bank account. As for the money from selling the large yellow croaker, Fu Wan specifically requested cash. Fu San gave it to her, and Fu Wan turned around and stuffed it into Fu Laoda's hand.
"Dad, take this money."
Boss Fu frowned. "Why would I give it to you? I don't need it. Why don't you have the third brother transfer it to your savings account?"
“My money is in my bank account. You caught this fish, so you have to keep it.”
Fu Wan shook her head and tried to persuade him, then winked at Boss Fu as she pointed towards the kitchen.
Her father is a fool too. He can't use this money, but he would be happy to use it to please his wife!
Honestly, she has to teach me all of this!
Upon receiving his daughter's signal, Boss Fu immediately understood and accepted the money.
Fu Ming, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, came over at this moment.
"Dad, if you don't want the money, just give it to me! I want it!"
"Go away, what's it to you! All the profits from the Sailing Ship are yours!"
Fu Ming didn't mind being rejected. He hadn't really wanted it anyway; he just wanted to provoke Boss Fu into scolding him.
