She had hardly slept for a whole day and night, and her feet felt like they were floating, but she still had to go and check on the unsold fish.
Lin Jin and a dozen other people spent more than a day gutting all the grass carps, marinating them with salt, and placing them in a water tank without air-drying them.
The water tank is temporarily placed in the fishery office of the brigade headquarters.
Tian Youliang bit his cigarette butt and said, "After processing, the fish weighed 2,900 kilograms. After drying, it was only about 1,000 kilograms. I specifically asked about it. The grain station sells dried fish for 30 cents per kilogram. This can at least make up for the loss."
Lin Jin's expression changed. "More than 3,700 kilograms of fish could have been sold for nearly 2,000 yuan, but when made into dried fish, it can only be sold for more than 400 yuan?"
"You can also make cured fish." Song Dahai said, "Curred fish is a little more expensive, 40 cents, but more than 3,000 kilograms of fish can only be cured for more than 1,000 kilograms, so it's still a loss. Besides, it takes a longer time to make cured fish, so the return on investment is slow."

When Lin Jin came back with the fish yesterday, the team must have been going crazy with anxiety. Uncle Tian and her father-in-law must have put down what they were doing and asked around to try to find a solution for her.
Since the fishery opened, these two people have helped her so much.
She said, "In the past two days in the provincial capital, in addition to buying fish fry, I also investigated the market. Dried fish and cured fish are very common in the market, and the price is cheaper than fresh fish. If we go this way, we will definitely not be able to recover the cost, and the fishery will be unsustainable. I thought about it comprehensively and thought that we could make a fish snack, spicy crispy fish slices."
Dried fish and cured fish may be valuable in later generations, but in this era, there was no means of preservation, and the wise people had to do so in order to store the fish, so the price could not go up.
