By the time Feng Ye returned to the seafood market from Jinghong Hotel, all the dried fish had been sold out, and almost all the mooncakes had been given away.
"Brother Ye, you're finally back! I've been saying I was going to come find you."
"I chatted with President Qin for a while, which took up a bit of time."
Feng Ye said with some surprise, "Is business so good today? It sold out in less than an hour."
"Actually, it's about the same every day. It takes at most an hour and a half to sell them all. Unless you bring a large quantity, it will take longer to sell, and you might not even be able to sell them all on the same day," Feng Jiaqing said with a smile.
Feng Ye nodded.
Thinking about it, he understood.
They run a wholesale business, and they come at a fairly fixed time every day.
Customers who come to buy goods usually arrive at this time, and over time, a tacit understanding has formed.
However, since it's just a county town, sales are limited; basically, only a little over a thousand kilograms can be sold each day.
It's very likely that starting tomorrow, the dried fish will begin to accumulate and become stockpiled.
The fish that were killed on the 12th will be almost done drying today; I estimate it weighs around 4,000 jin (2,000 kg).
Moreover, the volume in the past two days has been quite large.
After a while, when the fishermen start selling their own dried fish, there will be even more stockpiled goods.
Thinking about this, Feng Ye couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
If they can't find a large customer who wants thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms at once, they might be in trouble.
The three shops here, plus the warehouse in the workshop, will be overflowing.
"Perhaps we should make a trip to the city and check out the trade plaza."
Feng Ye silently made plans in his mind.
However, I don't have time right now; I'll have to wait until I get back from fishing.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."
Hearing A-Can's shout, Feng Ye was pulled back to reality and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm leaving, I'm going back."
"Oh, okay."
"What were you thinking about just now? You were so engrossed in your thoughts. I had to call you several times before you snapped out of it."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I'm thinking we should look for other sales channels; we can't just sell in this market anymore."
Ah-Can asked, puzzled, "Isn't it selling just fine? Why do we need to look for other sales channels?"
"Tell me, how many dried fish can you dry today? And how many in the next two days?"
"this……"
Ah-Can frowned. "It seems like a lot. The county might not be able to handle it."
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty that I won't be able to eat it."
Feng Jiaqing, who was standing nearby, chimed in.
Feng Jialing also said, "Well, the two of us have been selling for so many days, and the most we've ever sold in a single day is only 1,500 jin. We can't sell any more than that."
Ah-Can asked, "Then what should we do? We can't just keep piling up like this, can we?"
"So we need to find other sales channels. If we can open up sales channels in the city, that would be a big different story."
"The city? The trade plaza?"
"Yes, it's a pity I don't have time to look for shops these days. I'm going fishing with President Qin on the 19th and won't be back until the 23rd."
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, he immediately added, "By the way, I asked President Qin for you. You can come along."
"That's great! I can ride a yacht now."
Ah-chan's excitement was palpable, and he couldn't help but start to dream about it.
"How about this, after Lao Qi and I finish selling our dried fish, we'll go to the city and help you out. Now that we have an extra boat, it'll be more convenient."
Feng Jiaqing made a suggestion.
The city is also by the sea, but it's a bit far, and it's next to Yanshan County.
That slow little boat would probably take more than three hours to get there.
"That works too. If there's a suitable shop, we can book it right away. But you should be careful not to get scammed by those unscrupulous merchants."
Feng Ye cautioned, "The water in the city is much deeper than here."
"Don't worry, we've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, we won't be fooled so easily."
Feng Jiaqing smiled confidently.
"Ideally, I could meet a big customer in the market who would order several thousand or even tens of thousands of kilograms at once, so I wouldn't have to go to the city to deal with it."
...
As soon as the Xuri ship sailed to the waters outside Dongtou Village, it saw several large ships anchored in the deep waters outside the dock.
Upon closer inspection, one of the ships was indeed the Harvest.
Feng Ye sighed: "I was planning to take a day off, but it looks like I'll have more work to do."
The other three couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Yesterday, they even released a message to the fishermen, telling them that they wouldn't be buying fish today and asking them not to bring them to the workshop.
But the Harvest Ship will definitely bring back a large number of miscellaneous fish and shrimp when it returns, which must be dealt with quickly.
After they moored the boat and arrived at the workshop, they took a look.
Ye Qingling and her team were working enthusiastically and had even called a large group of people to help.
What else is there to say? Just join in and work hard!
It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that they finally finished processing the more than 7,000 kilograms of fish and shrimp they had brought back.
The dried fish that was dried today was then put away and weighed. As expected, it weighed 4128 jin (246.5 catties).
Ye Qingling and the others knew the sales figures every day, so they naturally knew that the market in the county was almost saturated.
Looking at all these dried fish, I couldn't help but sigh, afraid that they wouldn't sell and would just pile up.
Du Guilan even suggested stopping the purchase of fish and resuming it only after they were all sold.
Feng Ye and his group had no choice but to tell them their idea of going to the city's trade plaza to expand their market. They received unanimous approval, which put their minds at ease.
After finishing up at the workshop, everyone went home to prepare for their family reunion dinner that evening.
