Dog didn't expect Mo Yuan to suddenly say such a thing!
"What are you saying, Brother Yuan? Aren't you insulting me? If you want it, you can have it all, it's not worth much! I've just finished steaming some more, there will be more tomorrow, I'll even bring you more if you want to eat! Here, take it!"
He then said he would give all the spoils to Mo Yuan.
In his mind, the two people shared the same grandfather, so they were family. Even if they were valuable, he couldn't ask for money! They were poor, but poverty shouldn't diminish their spirit!
We can't let the villagers gossip about us.
Seeing that the dog had misunderstood him, Mo Yuan quickly explained.
"What are you saying? If I were eating this myself, why would I be being polite with you? I'm very useful! Don't go to work tomorrow, come with me, I need manpower!"
These fish gave Mo Yuan an idea. The materials were readily available, and many people were using the same method of trapping fish.
Although they might not get as much as the dog, there are just more of them!
If you collect them all, there's still quite a lot, definitely enough for my own use!
And just like Gouzi said, they can't sell them, but if Mo Yuan is willing to spend money to buy them, it's definitely feasible!
Mo Yuan briefly explained his idea to the dog, and when he heard that Mo Yuan planned to process the food and then sell it, he was unsure of the prospects.
But the dog still helped analyze the acquisition price.
"Brother Yuan, this stuff is hard to sell. Drying it into dried fish is time-consuming and laborious, and it shrinks too. People only buy it for two cents. As for the small fish, nobody wants them. They either throw them away or eat them themselves! It doesn't cost much!"
Mo Yuan thought for a moment, "That's enough for a whole bunch of long ones, two cents; small fish and shrimp less than two fingers long, one cent per pound; and the middle ones, one and a half cents! What do you think?"
The dog shook his head. "Too expensive, bro. Dried fish is only two cents, but your fresh fish is heavy. It's too expensive!"
"It's not expensive! Then it's settled!"
Mo Yuan made a rough estimate and concluded that there was definitely a lot of potential in this business. Even if it was a bit expensive, it would still be a way to benefit the villagers.
He needs a good reputation right now; rather than letting everyone feel like they've gotten a good deal, he'd rather let them feel like they've gotten something out of it!
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be grateful. If I make money from Mo Yuan, won't the villagers, young and old, say a good word about me?"
Now that I'm pressed for time and need to get started, I don't need to haggle with the villagers over such trivial matters, since I can make money anyway!
"It's settled then. Isn't this enough for you? Aren't there a few other people? Go and tell them to buy from the villagers at the same price and specifications as before. Keep an eye on things for them and deliver them to my house first. Weigh them and record the number. They can come to my house tonight to collect the money. I need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things first!"
After saying that, Mo Yuan rushed home. He originally intended to use the family's cart to go shopping, but considering that he was buying a lot of different things this time, he decided against it.
Worried that the supply and marketing cooperative in town might not be complete, I'm still planning to go to the one in the county.
You can also check out the location of the stall while you're at it.
Thinking of this, Mo Yuan gave up pulling the cart and found a rope and two one-meter-long wooden sticks.
They went out again and headed straight for the home of the old Party Secretary, Mo Youxian.
Because he frequently traveled to meetings in the township or county, the old Party Secretary was one of the few families in the village that owned a bicycle.
When they arrived, the old Party Secretary wasn't there; it was his wife who came out. After hearing their purpose, Mo Yuan asked to use the car, though he was somewhat reluctant.
But Mo Yuan called her "Third Aunt" so sweetly that it was hard to refuse, so in the end she could only let Mo Yuan ride the bike away in a daze!
Now, full of fighting spirit and boundless energy, Mo Yuan covered the dozen or so miles in one go.
When I arrived at the county supply and marketing cooperative, I inquired about the prices: wheat flour was 16 cents a pound, rice was 13.6 cents a pound, and soybean oil was 85 cents a pound.
Pork tenderloin is 92 cents, pork fat is one dollar per pound, and pork hock with skin and bone is 72 cents.
Pork bones are cheap, only 35 cents a pound, but like pork liver, you can't just have a ration coupon. They're considered a nutritional supplement, and you need a doctor's certificate from the hospital to buy them!
After much deliberation, with only the thirty yuan Lin Xue had given him in his pocket, he decided to put aside the idea of making braised pork for his family.
Let's talk about it after we make some money!
In the end, I bought 20 jin of soybean oil, 20 jin of wheat flour, 20 jin of cowpea flour, 1 jin of white sugar, as well as dried chili peppers, soy sauce, vinegar, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous seasonings.
This big shopping spree is finally over, leaving the sales clerks somewhat dumbfounded.
Stunned by Mo Yuan's generosity, he approached with a beaming smile, trying to strike up a conversation.
"Comrade, you look unfamiliar. Are you the new purchasing agent for that company's cafeteria? If you need anything in the future, just come to me. My surname is Ma."
Mo Yuan chuckled and agreed, immediately launching into a conversation, calling her "Sister Ma" this and "Sister Ma" that.
I'll definitely be coming back often. These salespeople have secure jobs, so I can't afford to offend them easily. Building good relationships will make things much easier in the future.
This big shopping spree nearly depleted the thirty yuan Lin Xue had given him; he only had a few yuan left.
I tied the things to the back seat little by little. Luckily, I made a frame with two sticks, otherwise it would have been really difficult to carry them.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry; Mo Yuan even took a detour and took an alternate route back.
I inspected the overall environment of the county.
The atmosphere was still quite tense, except for a few people who were clearly lurking around the streets suspiciously and were obviously ticket scalpers.
Even those who genuinely wanted to sell something would quietly inquire before pulling the person into an alley to make the transaction.
They were terrified of getting caught!
Back home, as soon as he entered the yard, Mo Yuan prepared to unload the goods and then return the car.
Just then, Yu Xiu'e and her companions came out and saw Mo Yuan's carload of things.
They were all completely terrified!
