Chapter 860 I Have the Final Say over My Son-in-Law's Fish

"Why would it be necessary?"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Yang Qin wanted more people to know and wanted to be more impressive, but there was really no need for that.

"Now it's just a small ceremony for breaking ground. Our two families are enough. There's no need for such a big fuss. Wait until the building is built, then we'll have to make a real fuss."

Ding Xiaoxiang's idea was very simple. Now it was just a groundbreaking. When the building was fully built, we would have to invite as many people as possible. It had to be a big event so that more people would know about the building that Liu Lei, Liu Gang and others had built.

"Okay!"

"Whatever you say, it's fine! Now we can just keep it simple. When the building is built, we'll have to make a big fuss."

Yang Qin knew very well that what Ding Xiaoxiang said made sense. Now it was just a groundbreaking. Everything should be done in a safe way. There was no need to make a fuss about it. If it was just a house for living, or just one or a few shops for rent, it wouldn't matter how much trouble they wanted to make, but the building that Ding Xiaoxiang and I built was taking advantage of the business of other people who rented shops in the whole town, and stealing other people's jobs. It was better to be safer.

After Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin settled the matter, they left in a hurry. They had been busy all day today. They just had a few bites at noon. Now it was late again. They didn't go anywhere else. They went home directly to rest. Tomorrow morning, they had to go to the Langtou Village Pier and go out to sea to pick up the fish caught by Zhao Dahai.

Town fish market.

Chen Miaomiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the two sea bass about three inches in size left in a large basin in front of the stall. She was a little confused. These were the sea bass that had just been delivered in the afternoon. They were very sellable and very popular. At the beginning, two hundred kilograms were delivered. They were sold out in an hour. There was no other way, so she could only call Ding Jie to deliver another three hundred kilograms. Now there were only these last two.

Five hundred kilograms?

In just half a day in the afternoon, to be exact, five hundred kilograms of sea bass were sold in less than two hours?

It was just sea bass, and many other fish were sold. If you calculate it, the whole stall sold more than two thousand kilograms of fish in the two hours of the afternoon.

You can make two thousand yuan if you only make one dollar per kilogram, not to mention that it is impossible to make only one dollar per kilogram.

"Auntie!"

"Why is this sea bass so popular? It's all sold out in a flash!"

"If it's delivered in the morning, wouldn't it be possible to sell one thousand kilograms or even one thousand two hundred or three hundred kilograms a day?"

Chen Miaomiao took a sip of water from the water cup. There were fewer people on the stall now, so she could take a break.

In a place like the market, the business in the morning or in the morning is very good. Now it's not very good, only about one-third of the morning business. Even if it is conservatively estimated, if these sea bass are delivered in the morning, it is really not difficult to sell one thousand kilograms or even one thousand two hundred or three hundred kilograms.

"People in our town or village grew up by the sea. No matter what they eat, they want fresh fish. It's not that fresh fish can't be sold, but the price is really not good, or the sales volume is not so good. The main reason why the fish, shrimps and crabs on our stall are so popular is that they are very fresh."

"These sea bass are just caught not long ago. They are alive one after another and not too big. The three-jin and five-jin ones are suitable for a family."

"People who come to buy vegetables in the afternoon must buy them. They will not let go of such sea bass."

"Whether steamed or cooked in soup, they are first-class good stuff!"

"Except for our stall, the whole fish market sells fish left over from the morning."

"People who want to eat fresh fish must come to us to buy fish."

Zhang Li has many years of business experience and knows what's going on without thinking. These sea bass just delivered in the afternoon are very fresh, and the price she sells is no different from the price she sells in the morning. It is impossible that they are not easy to sell. They must be very popular.

"Auntie."

"Where did these sea bass come from?"

Zhang Qi was just as surprised as Chen Miaomiao that such sea bass were so popular, but what was even more strange was why these sea bass were only delivered in the afternoon. They were definitely not collected in the morning.

"These fish collected in the morning must have been taken to those who bought them! There is no way they would be sold in our stall!"

Chen Miaomiao stroked the hair on her forehead. During this period, she and Zhang Qi had been helping with the business here, and they knew what was going on with the fish, shrimp and crab business purchased by Ding Chongshan, Ding Jie and Ding Weijun.

"If these fish were collected in the morning, it would definitely not be our turn. Even if we could take them, we wouldn't be able to take much!"

"Don't look at the size of these sea bass. They are not too big, but three or five catties is quite good!"

"The buyers are all crazy about it. They will never let go of any fish they catch. The fish that come back in the afternoon are ours to sell."

Zhang Li nodded. Ding Chongshan will sort and select the fish, shrimps and crabs he buys and send them to other buyers. These sea bass are really popular, especially these sea bass. Every one of them is alive. Every day when he calls, he wants these live fish. If he collects them in the morning, it will not be his turn to sell them.

Zhang Li told Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao that Zhang Qi was the fish Zhao Dahai caught in the morning. The big ones were sold to Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin, and the remaining ones under five kilograms were sold to her family. It was because the fish were collected in the afternoon that she pulled some here to try to sell them and see how the business is. If the business is good, the fish Zhao Dahai brought back in the afternoon will be sold here. If the business is not good, it will be sent to the buyers tomorrow morning.

"Auntie!"

"Isn't this fish selling well? Let's take it down and sell it here, don't sell it to those buyers, our retail price is definitely higher than their purchase price!"

Chen Miaomiao is very clear that there is a clear difference between the purchase price and the retail price in the fish market. If it can't be sold here in the fish market, it must be sold to buyers. Now it is not only sellable, but also selling very well, there is really no need to sell it to those buyers.

"Yes!"

"Auntie!"

"We can't keep all the good fish to those buyers, right? Our business here is so good now, and now these are the fish that came back in the afternoon, we can just bring them here and sell them!"

Zhang Qi agreed very much.

The business of the two brothers Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, or the family of Ding Chongshan and Zhang Li, mainly consists of two parts, one is the purchased seafood, which is sold to other buyers, and the other is the fish, shrimp and crabs sold at the fish stalls in the fish market.

Selling to other buyers is a long-term and large-scale business, but the price of such business is often not too high. However, there is no other way. If you want to reduce the risk, you can only do this.

Every day, you have to ensure the supply of these buyers. It is not that it must not change, but generally it cannot change. Even if it decreases, it cannot decrease too much.

Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi have been here for two months and have known very well that the fish sold here are actually the fish, shrimps and crabs purchased by Ding Jie, Ding Weijun and Ding Chongshan every day. After satisfying the orders of other buyers, the remaining ones will be sold here.

If more are purchased, there will be more fish, shrimps and crabs to sell. If fewer fish, shrimps and crabs are purchased every day, there will not be many fish, shrimps and crabs to sell here.

Now it is not easy to have a batch of fish that will return to the dock in the afternoon, and it sells very well, so it must be firmly grasped in one's hands.

Zhang Li thought about it and it was true. This matter must be done this way. The price sold to those wholesalers is definitely not as high as the retail price here in the fish market. The other fish were purchased early in the morning, but Zhao Dahai caught these fish, but he did not return to the dock until the afternoon, at least not until noon. The key is that these fish are extra and are not included in the amount of fish, shrimps and crabs purchased by Ding Chongshan every day.

"Okay!"

"This matter is settled!"

"I will talk to Ding Chongshan in the evening and must keep them. This batch of fish must be sold here at our stall."

Zhang Li made up her mind. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little uneasy. If Ding Chongshan called other buyers and told them that there might be such a batch of fish, they would definitely be snatched away.

She can sell so well in the town's fish market, and this size of sea bass is also very popular in the county's fish market.

Zhang Li picked up the phone and immediately called Ding Chongshan, making it clear that these sea bass had to be kept for her to sell in the town, and could not be sold to wholesalers and buyers.

Zhang Li was relieved after making this call.

"Wow!"

"Where can you find such fresh sea bass at this time? Hurry up and give me one!"

...

"This one weighs about three pounds, so take it!"

...

Zhang Li had just finished the call when she saw two people walk up to the stall and buy the last two remaining sea bass without thinking.

Zhang Li saw that it was almost time, and all the fish on the stall had been sold out, leaving not many. She also saw that there were not many people in the fish market, so she called Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao to pack up and go home.

Zhang Li was very curious about why Zhao Dahai had fish back to the dock at this time. She had to go back and ask Ding Xiaoxiang to find out what was going on.

Artificial island reef.

There were a few waves on the sea when the sea breeze blew over, but they were not too high, only about 30 to 40 centimeters less than half a meter.

The speedboat was shaking a little, but not too much.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were squatting on the deck, eating their meals in big mouthfuls.

"How do you feel? Can we continue fishing after dinner? If you are tired, why don't we just take a break for two hours before continuing fishing."

Zhao Dahai picked up a piece of fat and lean pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth. He took several bites, stretched his neck, and swallowed it hard.

After fishing for sea bass, he left the island and reef foam area and rushed to the artificial island and reef. He saw that there were not too many speedboats, especially at the familiar points. He started fishing without resting, and did not stop to cook and eat until around seven or eight o'clock.

It has been quite a long time since going out to sea in the early morning, and he has been busy all the time without resting time. It is impossible not to be tired.

"Ha!"

"It's definitely a bit tiring, but we have to seize the time to fish more and make more money when we go out to sea."

...

"Zhao Dahai."

"Didn't we say we have to rest the day after tomorrow? The land in the town has to be broken ground, do you have to go?"

"Let's be a little tired today, and sleep when we go back!"

...

"We have to continue fishing. As long as we have fish, we can go without sleep for three days and three nights, not to mention one or two days."

...

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't have to say that they were not tired at all. They must be tired after working for such a long time, but they could get through it with gritted teeth.

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and thought about it, and decided to rest for two hours after dinner.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da didn't talk much. Zhao Dahai decided to take a break. He then took a break and ate. After the meal, he drank some water and smoked a cigarette. There was not enough space for so many people to lie down in the cabin, so he lay down directly on the deck of the speedboat.

Zhao Dahai finished his meal, packed up his things, unscrewed the lid of his thermos, and drank the bitter strong tea in small sips.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da can rest now, but he, the captain, can't rest at this time. He has to keep an eye on it. People who are paid by the boss have to work harder and do more things. This is the life of a real captain.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky. It was very high. The rising moon was like a crescent moon, very clear, and the stars around were also very clear.

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea. There were indeed some waves, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Today's weather was very good. On the contrary, this kind of weather was very suitable for fishing. If it was really calm, there wouldn't be too much flow in the sea water. The fish in the sea would not want to eat and couldn't open their mouths.

Zhao Dahai looked at the live tank of the speedboat. When he arrived here in the afternoon, he had already caught 500 to 600 kilograms of grouper. It was not a lot, but it was not a small amount.

Zhao Dahai had been here many times and knew that the golden time for fishing in the artificial islands and reefs was at night. The weather and tides tonight were very good. There was no doubt that he would be able to catch a lot of fish. He was very glad that the sea bass he caught in the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs this morning had been taken away by the fishing boat. Otherwise, not to mention the live tank of the speedboat, even the refrigerator of the speedboat would not be enough.
