Chapter 92: Make another profit before the New Year
Chen Wenjun smiled vaguely and said, "We'll have to go back and settle the accounts to find out. It was just a coincidence that I got a metal boat this time. I wanted to see how far I could go, and I ended up in Nangang."
Zheng Guoxing suddenly realized.
The boat people here all live in five-sailed boats, and I have never seen anyone using iron boats. Chen Wenjun is indeed capable.
After paying the bill, Chen Wenjun got a pile of money and had another idea in his mind. He whispered to Zheng Guoxing: "I plan to make another trip in the early morning of New Year's Eve, but the seafood will probably be more expensive that day. If you want, I can bring it to you."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Guoxing nodded wildly, and he was so excited that it seemed as if he would rush up and hug Chen Wenjun tightly in the next second.
After the two of them discussed it, Chen Wenjun took the money and pushed the cart back to Xiatianshe with Lin Qin.
Lin Yi was still guarding on the iron boat.
When he saw the two men coming back, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to help.
The three returned to the gap.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Qin immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Ping An, Ya Ya!"
After a while, the two children ran out of the yard and rushed towards them.
Lin Qin breathed a sigh of relief and touched the two children's heads. "What are you playing when the adults are not at home?"
Ping An excitedly punched me and jumped strangely, saying, "Ya Ya and I drew pictures, played with turtles, picked grass and played house with flowers."
Yaya dragged Lin Qin to see their results.
I saw a few bricks and broken tiles in the corner of the yard, some sand piled up on the edge, and a lot of weeds neatly arranged.
Lin Qin was immediately happy, "Not bad, not bad, as long as you don't play with fire and don't do anything dangerous, you can have fun by yourselves!"
As they were talking, the two children continued to play house, and the three adults went to the second-floor hall.
Chen Wenjun poured out all the money he earned today. Lin Yi was excited to see so much money and came over to help count it.
The three of them counted for about twenty minutes.
Lin Qin told them the final amount, "The total is 538.92 yuan. We only brought 200 yuan with us this time. After deducting the diesel money, we made almost 300 yuan."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, "It's so profitable! We don't have to fish anymore. We just need to make money from the price difference of seafood."
Lin Qin nodded with a smile, "This business can be done for a long time. At least for now, no one should compete with us for business. It's hard to say in the future."
Lin Yi was more open-minded. "Then hurry up. Make as much money as you can. Save up some money first. We can think about the future later."
Chen Wenjun was surprised at Lin Yi's open-mindedness, "Dad! You are really amazing, I thought you would worry about the future!"
Lin Yi laughed loudly, "We have so much land on this island. If we can't do this business, we can still farm. What are we afraid of?"
Lin Qin just found it funny, it seemed that these lands gave Lin Yi the confidence.
Having tasted the sweetness, the couple took a bath and went back to their room and fell into a deep sleep. It was not until the evening that Chen Wenjun went to set the trap.
The next morning, I collected the traps and went to set up the stall early.
As soon as I arrived at the vegetable market, I was surrounded by a group of people.
"Are there any seafood today? Just the small yellow croaker from yesterday."
"I want to buy some more clams for the New Year."
"Squid is also good. Stir-fry it with green onions. It's delicious!"
"Boss, can you get some saltwater shrimp?"
Chen Wenjun was surrounded and explained until he was dry-mouthed. Only after his repeated assurances did everyone leave satisfied.
On the afternoon of the 29th, the couple went to Nangang again with food.
Lin Yi also specially prepared some cooked sweet potatoes for them.
It was evening when they arrived at Nangang. Fishing boats were docking at this time, so the couple took a look and found that there was also a fishing boat that had just returned to the port.
They are all relatively scattered, the items are good and the prices are cheap.
This is understandable. After all, seafood that arrives at the port in the early morning can be sold at the morning market, while seafood that arrives at the port in the evening can only be frozen or sent to various restaurants. If no one wants it, it can only be kept until it is sent to the morning market the next day, and it cannot be sold at a good price.
If someone wants to buy the goods at this time, the price can be negotiated.
Lin Qin pulled Chen Wenjun to the side and whispered, "I think we can first get a batch of goods and send it to Zheng Guoxing immediately, and then come back in the early morning to deliver the goods to the Xiatian Vegetable Market."
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so the price can be higher.
Chen Wenjun nodded repeatedly, "Let's do this. Zheng Guoxing said the other day that his small yellow croaker is quite popular, and his stir-fried squid and razor clams are also selling very well. In addition, he also wants to sell fried oysters, and asked if we could get him some more fresh oysters.
In fact, he also wants other seafood besides these, but we can get more of these.”
With a goal in mind, the couple acted separately.
After visiting several nearby ports, they finally managed to buy two large baskets of small yellow croakers, a large basket of squids, two large baskets of clams, a basket of clams, and half a basket of abalone. When they walked into the fishing village, they saw many people opening oyster shells.
The two bought two large barrels in the village.
I spent all the 500 yuan I brought with me before I set out on my journey back.
It was almost nine o'clock when they arrived in the city.
Guoxing Hotel closes around 9:30 to 10:00.
There weren't many people eating at this moment, most of them were just drinking, and the waiter was cleaning.
Seeing Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin pushing a lot of things over, he hurried to the kitchen to call Zheng Guoxing.
When Chen Wenjun saw the people, he immediately shouted, "All the seafood has been delivered!"
Zheng Guoxing's eyes lit up, he jumped out in one breath, and pulled Chen Wenjun's cart.
"Are there any small yellow croakers?"
Lin Qin, who was standing by, immediately pointed at the two baskets of small yellow croakers and said, "They are all here. We have everything you want, and there are also fresh oysters."
Zheng Guoxing slapped his thigh vigorously, "Great! My restaurant is fully booked tomorrow. Everyone wants to eat seafood. With these oysters, we can arrange fried oysters tomorrow. It's just right. I think you haven't eaten yet! Stay and taste the food for me. I'll make it right away."
As he said that, Zheng Guoxing quickly called the waiter to come over for help.
The oysters were weighed first while Zheng Guoxing was busy making fried oysters.
Chen Wenjun and the waiter weighed and recorded all the seafood, then sorted them and put them into the freezer.
At this time, the first serving of oyster omelette is ready.
After tasting it carefully, Lin Qin said, "It would be even better with some sweet and spicy sauce or garlic sauce. It's also OK without it, it's quite fragrant."
Chen Wenjun nodded, "It's mainly because the oysters are fresh."
Zheng Guoxing took a bite and agreed with it.
The guests who were having drinks outside soon smelled the aroma of the fried oysters and ordered some.
Zheng Guoxing, who was about to close the store, became busy again.
By the time he finished his work, Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun had almost finished eating.
Zheng Guoxing hurriedly took the receipt to settle the bill with Chen Wenjun.
Zheng Guoxing was a little surprised when he saw the unit price above. "No price increase?"
Chen Wenjun said honestly: "We go to the port to collect seafood in the evening. The seafood is not that expensive at that time. If it is in the early morning, the supply is insufficient and everyone has to rush to buy it. There is no way to bargain, so it will definitely be more expensive."
Zheng Guoxing looked very grateful and gave the money very happily, even paying the full change.
