Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

After the popsicles were sold out, there was a profit of two yuan, and I lost one yuan in the morning, so I finally earned one yuan back.

Wan Feng didn't leave, just talking nonsense with these fish pullers.

Through gossip, Wan Feng learned a lot about the market of seafood.

The most common fish on the seaside of Black Reef are hairtail, yellow flower, green skin and fengleban, and various shellfish.

Hairtails cost ten cents a catty to disembark, yellow flowers are divided into small and large yellow flowers, and they all cost ten cents a catty. Green skins and wind boards are relatively worthless, both cost about five cents a catty.

A lobster is four cents a catty, ordinary sea shrimp is two cents a catty, and some small shrimps are eight cents a cent.

Big crabs cost 40 cents a catty.

Both clams and sea oysters cost a few cents a catty, and there is a difference of one or two cents between different varieties.

In the current season, most of the seas are Qingpizi and Fengleban. Today, the two boats are all Qingpizi and Fengleban.

Those trucks were all picking up goods, and they kept leaving the shore. After about half an hour, there was only one car left on the beach.

"Old Yu, I can't take your basket of fish. It's too small. If I pull it back, the leader will scold me."

"Old Yang, this basket is not bad, it's less than one basket and weighs more than sixty catties, why don't you just fool around."

"No, no, you can handle it yourself, I'm leaving."

The guy named Lao Yang entered the cab, and the car drove away with a whine.

"What the hell, you can't take this thing away, what is it!" The person who called Lao Yu spat hard at the back of the car.

Wan Feng stretched his neck to look at the basket of fish.

It was a basket of green skin fish, this kind of fish is not very valuable because of the many scales on the skin, but it still tastes good.

Boss Yu saw Wan Feng stretching his neck and waving his hands: "Go, go, let's play together!"

"Boss, why don't you sell this basket of fish to me cheaper?"

Boss Yu looked at Wan Feng with a bad look: "Sell it to you? Why are you buying so many fish?"

"I'm also a businessman. I haven't sold fish before. Today I have an empty car anyway. I will sell some fish when I go home. If I can't sell it, I will take it home and eat it."

Boss Yu looked Wan Feng up and down: "This basket weighs more than sixty kilograms, can you pull it?"

In the morning, I entrusted me with sixty catties of melons.

"no problem."

"Take this basket of fish for two yuan."

More than sixty catties only cost two yuan, and a catty worth more than three cents is a stick. Wan Feng felt that he had found a bargain, so he took out two yuan without saying a word.

"Boss Yu, can you find something to cushion this basket for me? I'm still counting on it to hold melons tomorrow. What should I do if it's filled with fish?"

"You still sell melons? What a fucking little machine."

Boss Yu found two pieces of black plastic on the boat and threw them to Wan Feng.

Wan Feng ran to the beach and brushed the two pieces of plastic, and spread them in his own basket when he felt clean.

Two young sailors poured the basket of fish evenly into his two baskets and helped him push him from the beach to the road.

Wan Feng went back to Shanatou again, ordered a bowl of noodles from the restaurant of the supply and marketing cooperative, and poured them into his stomach.

There are two roads back to Jiangwei Brigade from Shana: North Road and South Road.

The north road is to go west to the Wangzhuang Brigade, then north to the Huanghui Brigade of the Black Reef Commune, and then to the Zhou Family Squad of the Jiangwei Brigade.

The south road goes to Shenjia first, then goes north through Huangjialing to Huanghui and then to Dashutun.

Anyway, no matter which way to go, you have to pass through Huang Hui's brigade.

Wan Feng decided to go south.

When he came out, he brought ten advertisements, a total of eight were posted at the Blue Farm of the Warriors Commune and Miaoling, and now he has posted the remaining two on the courtyard walls of Shanatou and Shenjia Brigade respectively.

Then head towards Jiangwei.

Wan Feng did not peddle in the Shanatou area,

Here is located on the coast, there is no shortage of seafood, even if he sells it, he may not be able to sell it.

Guo Shen's family walked six or seven miles north to reach the Huangjialing area of ​​Heijiao Commune before Wan Feng entered the village to sell.

This place is far away from the sea, so someone should buy it.

"After selling fish and selling fish, the lively green skin that just came up from the sea costs a dime a catty..."

Wan Feng's voice echoed in the village.

This time, there were no children who followed the voice, and most of them were young wives and old ladies.

"Child, your fish is too small. They sell fish that are bigger than yours for ten cents a catty."

It's not much smaller, the bigger green skins weigh about ten heads a catty, and his fish has at most twelve heads. Is this considered small?

"That's the price for one catty. If you buy five catties, it's 40 cents. How cheap is it?" Wan Feng had already considered this issue.

"Who can buy five catties of fish at once."

Is five catties of fish a lot? Five catties of fish for a family of five or six is ​​not much good.

"Why don't you get it like this, I'll give you a high scale, it's okay."

The first one to buy was a little daughter-in-law: "Give me three catties."

Wan Feng weighed out three catties of fish, and the scale was really high.

"Look carefully, this scale is going to go up to the sky." After saying this, he poured it into the little daughter-in-law's basin with a splash.

In fact, Wan Feng's scale weighed about two catties and nine taels, even if the scale was lifted high, it was exactly three catties.

He didn't play a tael of scales, but he didn't lose money, otherwise he would have to pay him off.

In his previous life, he had also done business for a few days, and he was not unfamiliar with playing scales.

The market in this village is small and only sold fifteen to six catties of fish in total, so Wan Feng went to the next village.

This is almost the case in the next village.

After walking through three villages in this way, there are still more than ten catties of fish that have not been sold.

Wan Feng couldn't help lamenting that the living standards of the people were still too low, and he had sold the fish of fifty or sixty catties to several villages before selling them all.

Wan Feng didn't plan to sell it anymore. Now that he got his capital back and still had a profit of more than two yuan, he wanted to take the rest of the fish back to eat.

Come to the last village of the Huangjialing Brigade, across from this village is the boundary of the Huanghui Brigade.

When we arrived at Huang Hui's brigade, we were not far from Jiangwei's brigade.

"Kid, what are you selling?"

A woman under a big tree by the side of the road asked Wan Feng when she saw two flat baskets on the back of his bicycle.

"Green-skinned fish, how about a dime a catty?"

"Come here and let me see."

Wan Feng pushed the cart over, and the businessman's instinct was whether the product could be sold or whether he wanted to sell it.

Several women gathered around.

"That's all?"

"That's all there is left, about fourteen to five catties."

"It's a little small, kid, you can make it cheaper and let us pack it together."

Wan Feng thought for a while and said, "Well, these fish are guaranteed to be available during the 14th and 5th Five-Year Plan, and I can sell them to you for one yuan, and I can easily go home."

The sale is done, and the remaining steps are to collect money and pay for the goods.

Wan Feng has already pulled all the fish in the basket onto the weighing pan.

But at this moment, a bearded man in his forties wandered over from nowhere, reeking of alcohol.

He walked up to Wan Feng's bicycle and looked down, then opened the popsicle box casually to have a look, reached out and took out a cantaloupe from it, and gnawed it unceremoniously.
