1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 114 Rongcheng Wharf (please subscribe)

 The fishing boat goes upstream.

 However, due to yesterday's heavy rain, the water flow was very fast and the sampan boat drove very slowly.

 After driving a few kilometers forward, it became dark. The river was as dark as ink, and there were only faintly bright lights along both sides of the river, which made people feel a little panicked.

 Li Duoyu and Li Shuguang lit the lanterns that were always on the fishing boats.

 Almost, after driving for an hour.

The river is getting brighter and brighter, and the lights along both sides of the river are getting brighter and brighter.

 And open further inward.

The more various types of boats we encounter, there are many rowing boats with canopies, as well as iron-clad cruise ships and ferries.

Until a stone bridge across the Wujiang River blocked the way of the fishing boat.

Li Duoyu understood that Rongcheng Pier had arrived.

Even at seven o'clock in the evening, Rongcheng Pier is still brightly lit and very crowded. Many fishmongers from nearby waters come here to sell their seafood after buying it.

 Today, as the typhoon has just passed and the fish catch has surged, there are many fishmongers at Rongcheng Pier.

In front of Li Duoyu, there are more than a dozen fishing boats loaded with seafood, queuing up to board the pier.

Some fishmongers were queuing up and playing cards while a sharp-eyed man saw the fishing nets and seafood on their boats and quickly came over to get close to them.

 “Yi Duo (little brother), where did you come from?”

Seeing the fishmonger talking to them, the honest man Li Shuguang also responded enthusiastically: "We are from Dandan Island."

“Dandan Island, I also know the old rice on your island.”

 Li Shuguang replied:

“I am also very familiar with Lao Mi and often sell fish to him.”

The fishmonger then asked: "Dandan Island is so far away from here, why do you drive the boat so far to sell it?"

“I happened to be fishing at the mouth of the sea, so I stopped by.”

"Oh, like this."

 “Can you see what good fish you guys caught?”

Li Shuguang smiled and said: "There are no good fish. I just caught a net of shad and I plan to sell it here."

 Shad?

 After hearing this, the nearby fishmongers who were smoking and playing cards all looked this way in an instant.

There was a relatively young fishmonger who put down his cards on the spot, used his agility to jump onto Li Shuguang's fishing boat, and saw the bucket of shad.

 After picking up one.

He said on the spot: "Brother Yi, please set a price. I will take all these fish."

The fishmonger who was the first to talk just now saw that the young man was so ungrateful and scolded him on the spot: "Black dog, it's you again, how many times have you done this?"

 “If you don’t accept it, you can jump over.”

“You think it’s yours just by jumping on the boat. There’s no way around it. You can’t sell it.”

 “How do you know I have no way out?”

After hearing that it was anchovies, the fishmongers who had been waiting in line came over with their boats and surrounded them.

Someone made a bid on the spot and said: "Be quick, I'll take all the fifty cents."

“If you want to take fifty cents, just pretend we don’t exist. I’ll pay six cents.”

 “Six and a half cents.”

 “Seven cents, it really can’t be higher.”

Seeing the price getting higher and higher, Li Shuguang was a little confused. He felt that the fish must not be cheap, but he did not expect it to be so expensive.

 And it is much more popular than the large yellow croaker.

Seeing that the price had reached seventy cents, Li Shuguang couldn't help but look at Li Duoyu. He didn't know when he had thought of discussing with him first when he couldn't make up his mind.

 “As many fish as you like, how much do you think is appropriate?”

Li Duoyu glanced at these fishmongers and smiled. They looked like they were bidding, but they were actually in the same group.

“Don’t worry, we’ll sell it at the dock.”

 After hearing this, the fishmonger who was the first to come to ask questions suddenly became unhappy.

“Young man, don’t be too greedy. The price of seventy cents is really high. If you go to the dock, you may not be able to sell it for a higher price than this.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Anyway, let's try it first. On the way here, someone offered one yuan, but we didn't sell it."

Hearing this price, Li Shuguang obviously felt his heart beat faster. Damn it, his cousin really dared to say anything.

The fishmongers present all frowned, and all of them looked unhappy. The price was almost as high as that of pork.

 There is a standard in their business, that is, no matter how good the seafood is, the price cannot exceed that of lean pork, otherwise it is very likely that you will lose money.

And the price was very accurate. The fishmonger glanced at the young man who was talking and knew that the other person was knowledgeable, so he stopped pestering him.

The young fishmonger who jumped on the fishing boat also put down the shad in his hand, returned to his fishing boat, and sighed:

 “I can’t bear this price.”

 I saw that everyone gave up.

Li Shuguang felt very unsure. For him, seventy cents was already very good, and the price was twice that of a large yellow croaker.

 And after the typhoon, there were a lot of fish.

He sold the two nets of mackerel he caught this morning for 12 cents, but he didn't expect Li Duoyu to directly pay 1 yuan.

 Exactly ten times.

Li Shuguang thought that no matter how expensive the fish was, it couldn't be this expensive, but Li Duoyu didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Li Shuguang struggled internally.

 In the end, he chose to believe his cousin.

After queuing at the dock for about an hour, it was finally their turn to unload the goods.

As soon as they brought the seafood to the pier, some local fish buyers immediately gathered around them.

 There is a nearby vegetable market here.

There are also restaurants. These bosses were just looking around, and when they saw the barracuda, they didn't take a serious look at it. The grouper could barely look at it twice.

 Everyone was looking for good stuff, and soon several bosses noticed Li Shuguang’s basket of shad.

“Would you like to sell this fish for nine cents?”

Li Shuguang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's start together."

 Another restaurant owner shouted: "Otherwise, let's make up a lucky number, nine yuan, and I'll take all these anchovies."

At this time, a pot-bellied boss wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes saw Li Duoyu’s three-sword fish and made an offer on the spot:

“These three saury fish are charged three times a piece, which is already the highest price. Let’s be more relaxed.”

 After hearing this price.

 Chen Wenchao's hands felt trembling again, and the price was higher than the price of the big bass slide they sold before, and he originally thought that Brother Yu would wait and let these fish traders kill him.

 What he didn't expect was.

 Brother Yu agreed directly this time and sold the three saury fish to him.

 “Okay, deal.”

 And the fish boss didn’t expect that the young man he met today actually sold the fish to him without any counter-offer.

It’s so refreshing to see the other person.

The fish boss smiled and said, "Well, I'll charge all your other seafood at the market price. What do you think?"

 “Yes, no problem at all.”

 Chen Wenchao on the side was confused again.

 I feel like I’ve failed in my studies again.

That time at Qingkou Pier, Brother Yu refused to sell the fish and deliberately let everyone drive up the price of the fish. He even asked everyone to collect all the trash fish before he was willing to sell the big bass.

 But this time, he did not bargain with the other party, and settled the deal directly at a fixed price, and the other party was also very happy and accepted his trash fish.

Chen Wenchao felt that since the fish boss was willing to pay one yuan and three yuan, the price offered by the restaurant boss would definitely be higher.

But Brother Yu, such a smart person, why did he agree so readily.

 After both parties finished weighing the scales, Boss Yu readily took out fourteen large sheets and handed them to Li Duoyu.

 Then, he took out a business card and handed it over with both hands.

“In the future, if you have good goods, you can come to me directly at the address above. The prices are about the same and I can accept them.”

Li Duoyu took the business card with both hands and looked at it.

—

 Chen Jiao.

  Rongcheng Taijiang Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, manager.

—

After reading it, he stuffed his business card into his jacket pocket and said, "Manager Chen, I have a lot of high-quality kelp there. Do you want to take it?"

The manager named Chen Sanqiao was a little surprised: "You are quite good at crossing borders. You actually have a kelp business. Is it kelp from the north?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said:

“It’s not from the north, it’s our local kelp.”

 Chen Sanqiao frowned slightly, "Does our local area have kelp?"

But the next second, he suddenly remembered the headlines in the newspapers two days ago. It seemed that the city's top leaders had gone to inspect the kelp base, saying that there was a great harvest of kelp.

He also swore that it was a new variety and its quality was better than those from the north.

“Is it the kelp from Dandan Island?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes, it's from Dandan Island."

Chen Sanqiao said excitedly: "Do you have any? Bring samples."

“I don’t have it today. I can send it to you another day.”

 Chen Sanqiao nodded and said: "Don't bother me. Just give me your address and I'll go directly to your Dandan Island in two days. If the quality is okay, we can cooperate."

"sure, no problem."

 Chen Wenchao sighed. Now, he just felt that Brother Yu was so awesome. In less than half an hour, he not only sold all the fish, but also negotiated a kelp business.

 Is this a businessman?

As expected, you can learn a lot by following Brother Yu, but Chen Wenchao looked at Li Shuguang and found that the situation was a bit confusing.

Just like they used to sell big bass sliders at Qingkou Wharf.

 The fishmongers started bidding.

Li Shuguang was also stunned. He really didn't expect that the price of anchovies could be sold at such a high price. After several biddings, it went up to one dollar and two, which was three times the price of the large yellow croaker.

 About half an hour later.

Li Shuguang also sold all the sea fish. Looking at the fifteen pieces of unity in his hand, his hands were trembling.

 This is the most money he has ever made since fishing, and all this is thanks to his cousin Li Duoyu.

If I hadn't followed him, I probably wouldn't have been able to catch these shad. Two-thirds of the money was earned from selling the shad.

Li Shuguang took out three Unity cards on the spot and handed them to Li Duoyu.

 “Here, take it, if you don’t lead the way today, I won’t be able to make this money.”

 “It’s so little, I should be given fifty.”

“Sir, please don’t be so greedy, okay? I don’t have to pay for gas, and I don’t have to pay to repair the sticky net.” Li Shuguang naturally knew that Duoyu was just joking.

 Chen Wenchao saw that Li Duoyu was counting the money, as if he wanted to give the money to himself, so he quickly said: "Brother Yu, I really didn't contribute much this time, so there is no need to give me the money."

I don’t know why, but Chen Wenchao has a sense of crisis recently. He always feels that Brother Yu may let him stand on his own feet next.

 I won’t take him with me anymore.

 But through today, Chen Wenchao is more convinced of one thing, that is, by following Brother Yu, you can learn a lot even if you don't pay.

Li Duoyu paused for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then took out five large unity cards and gave them to Chen Wenchao:

"How about this? From now on, I will give you a minimum of fifty yuan every month. If the monthly income is very good, I will give you three extra points. What do you think?"

 Chen Wenchao didn't even think about it: "Thank you, Brother Yu, for taking me in."
