Chapter 410
Chapter 410
Today, Shen Wentao and other new fishermen finally experienced the difficulty of fishing at sea.
After putting the traps, they dragged the nets four times in a row, and each time they pulled up a pile of marine garbage. The fish and shrimp that could actually be left and eaten were pitifully few.
Seeing that there was no harvest after four trawls, they went to collect the traps before returning, wanting to see if there was any harvest in the traps, so that they could also make up for the loss and compensate for the gas money.
As a result, the gas money was not compensated. The traps that had just been put down in the morning were empty, with few good fish.
In the end, the four people had no choice but to return. All the catches were gathered together, only the eleven or twelve pounds in front of them, which was enough for a meal in the evening.
Datou shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Fei, the fish today are too difficult to catch. We have dragged all the places where we have dragged fish before, but we didn't catch a hair. We found a few places we have never been to, but there was no stock either..."
A Zhuang and Huang Zhanpeng also had helpless expressions on their faces.
They had gone fishing several times before, but this was the first time they had such a poor harvest, even worse than the day before when the trap was broken by the sea wolf fish.
Hearing their words, Shen Fei said nonchalantly:
"Fishing is all about the weather and luck. You don't have much experience and don't know which area has more fish and which area has more harvest. It's normal for this to happen occasionally."
"Today we have these ten catties of seafood to cook soup, so it's not a complete loss. Let's try harder next time."
In recent days, he didn't go out to sea with Shen Wentao and his friends, and today he didn't even tell Shen Wentao and his friends where there were fish.
It's not surprising that they let a few new fishermen drive the fishing boat and try their luck on the sea.
Shen Wentao nodded, raised the net cage in his hand, and said:
"Today's ten catties are precious. Not counting the labor of the four of us, the diesel alone will cost three or four hundred yuan, an average of thirty or forty yuan per catty, which is more precious than sea erythema."
Hiss!
"A trip out to sea costs three or four hundred yuan for fuel?!" Zhu Si, who was working nearby, looked at Shen Wentao in confusion.
Shen Wentao nodded, "Our fishing boat is relatively large, so we need so many. Today's trip is considered a big loss."
The fuel alone costs three or four hundred yuan, and if you add the labor cost, this trip will lose five or six hundred yuan, which is equivalent to the monthly income of many ordinary people in this era.
Zhu Si calculated in his mind and said, "Then your cost is too high. If you don't make a few hundred yuan a day at sea, then you are basically losing money?"
"It can be said that fishing on a large boat may yield more, but the cost is also relatively high." Shen Fei answered, turned around, and asked Shen Wentao and the other four to wash, rest, and change into clean clothes.
After a while, at around five o'clock, Zhao Youcai came.
He was holding two large black bream weighing about two kilograms in his hand, and said to Shen Fei with a smile:
"Brother, I just received a few beautiful black eagles today, so I sent two of them to you. I will make soup for the little ones in the evening."
Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and said, "Brother Cai, you saw that we didn't catch any fish today, so you came to help us?"
"Haha, that's not the case. Even if you didn't catch any fish today, you still caught so many before. How could there be no fish in the freezer? It's mainly because I saw these black eagles are beautiful, and I thought it would be good to make soup for your little ones."
Zhao Youcai laughed and didn't mention that Shen Wentao and his team returned from the air force today.
"Thank you, Brother Cai, it just saves me from buying more. There is really no fish in the freezer at home. The fish I saved every day before were not many." Shen Fei smiled and accepted the fish sent by Zhao Youcai.
Reciprocity is the key to long-term cooperation.
"Brother, I have no doubt about your fishing ability. I believe you will definitely catch a big fish next time. I came to you today for another reason."
Then Zhao Youcai began to get to the point and talked about the purpose of his visit.
"Didn't you collect a lot of bird's nests a few days ago? The boss I know who does bird's nest business said that the market is good recently, and the price of bird's nests has basically increased for each grade.
And there is a shortage of stock in the market at present. If you want to sell it, now should be a more suitable opportunity to sell it."
Sell bird's nests?
This point needs to be considered seriously. Shen Fei thought about it and said:
"Brother Cai, is this boss who collects bird's nests reliable? I have never done bird's nest business before, and I don't know how to grade these bird's nests. I'm afraid I will be cheated later."
"Brother, you can rest assured about this. This boss Hu has done business with me for many years, and his character is still trustworthy. YouIf it is confirmed that the goods are to be shipped, I will call him when I get back. He will probably come tomorrow. "Zhao Youcai said seriously.
A few days ago, he asked Mr. Hu about bird's nests for Shen Fei. Recently, Mr. Hu was really out of stock. He remembered that Zhao Youcai had asked him about it, so he turned around and found Zhao Youcai, saying that he wanted to buy bird's nests and asked Zhao Youcai to help him make the connection.
Sometimes, doing business is so simple, just introduce each other and it will work.
"Okay, by the way, Brother Cai, you know more about these things, help me see, what level can these bird's nests in my hand be classified into? "
Shen Fei took Zhao Youcai into the house and took out one of the bags of bird's nests he had collected and showed it to Zhao Youcai.
There were about a thousand bird's nests in this bag. Seeing this number, Zhao Youcai nodded. It was indeed a lot and could be sold for a lot of money.
After opening the bag and taking a look, Zhao Youcai took out a few bird's nests with impurities and said to Shen Fei:
"Brother, I don't quite understand the quality of this bird's nest, but I went to see Boss Hu. He will ask someone to deal with these impurities and bird feathers on the bird's nest. Without these, the quality of the bird's nest should be improved a little.
I really don't understand what grade these bird's nests can be rated at. I have to go back and ask Boss Hu to see how bird's nests are graded. "
Hearing this, Shen Fei thought for a while and said, "How about this, Brother Cai, you ask Boss Hu not to come tomorrow and wait until the day after tomorrow. I will also ask someone to remove these impurities on the bird's nest tomorrow, and by the way, ask someone to see how the bird's nests are graded. "
Since we are going to do business, it is better for both parties to have a certain understanding of this business.
Shen Fei knows nothing about bird's nests, and it is not appropriate to bet on the other party's character. He plans to learn about the grade and specific price of bird's nests tomorrow, and then do this business.
Hearing this, Zhao Youcai nodded, "Brother, you are still meticulous."
"Well, I also hope to sell better products to that boss Hu. Now these bird's nests do have a lot of impurities. I guess they will be reduced a lot when they are evaluated. "Shen Fei said with a smile.
After talking about the bird's nest, the two chatted while making tea.
Zhao Youcai talked about what he had heard recently, which places on the sea have more fish, and which places have produced good products recently, and gave Shen Fei a lot of reference opinions.
Shen Fei listened with a smile, nodded from time to time to express his gratitude.
While the two were talking, the barking of the big yellow dog and the big black dog came from outside.
"Woof woof~~"
"Woof woof woof~~"
After the barking, a man's shout came from outside,
"Yuan Datou, you fucking come out to me!"
"You dog thing, I..."
