Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1320 If you can't make up your mind, just don't do it

"I said, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Didn't I just say that? These fish are a bit small. Most of them are about one jin, and a few are only two or three jin. But there are really not many of them."

"The fish sold at Hongyun Restaurant now are rarely this small. Most of them are relatively large."

"It's the fishing moratorium, so there will definitely be fewer fish, shrimps and crabs, but it's hard to say whether Hongyun Restaurant will sell such small fish."

"Otherwise, why would I have to come here to tell you this? If these fish were bigger, I would have decided to sell them in Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant. Why would I need to sell them at the fish stall in town?"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and shook her head. If these fish were bigger, she would definitely sell them in Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant first. The main reason for choosing to sell these fish in the town's fish stall was that these fish were a bit small. Don't think that because she came here to talk to Yang Qin about this today, it is really hard to say whether Hongyun Restaurant will sell such small fish now.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"Why are you here?"

Liu Lei was greeting the people who came to eat on the first floor just now. When he saw Ding Xiaoxiang, he knew that something must have happened. After greeting the guests, he came up immediately.

Ding Xiaoxiang reiterated the story of the small black sea bream caught at the fish farm.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"Under normal circumstances, restaurants really wouldn't sell fish this small, but now that the fishing moratorium has begun, I think we might have to sell some of them!"

Liu Lei thought carefully for a long time, frowned, and was a little hesitant. If it was normal, not the fishing moratorium, when there were more fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, he would definitely not sell these fish. But now the situation is different. After the fishing moratorium began, the number of fish, shrimps and crabs has really been greatly affected. Although this kilogram of black porgy is not too big, it is actually not small. When there are no other fish to sell, he must sell these fish.

"You have to think about this matter carefully and see if it is necessary to sell fish of this size."

"The restaurant is doing very well right now, and one of the key reasons is that we sell large fish, which are really good fish."

"The fishing moratorium has begun. The number of fish, shrimp and crabs is definitely not as high as before, but whether to sell fish of this size or not really needs to be carefully considered."

"Some of the fish Zhao Dahai caught were black porgy and some were sea bass, but the number was not too large."

"It may not be enough for you and Wu Weimin to sell all the fish during the fishing ban period."

"From this perspective, selling smaller fish is something you can consider, but it may also make people who come here to eat think that the quality of the fish you sell is declining."

"We really need to think about this matter carefully, otherwise it may affect the business of the restaurant."

Ding Xiaoxiang reminded Liu Lei that he must pay attention to this matter and must think it through carefully. Although judging from the current situation, it will not have much impact during the fishing moratorium, no one can be sure.

Liu Lei nodded. He knew that what Ding Xiaoxiang said was right. This might actually have some bad effects. It would make people feel that the quality of fish, shrimps and crabs in Hongyun Restaurant was declining, which might affect the business.

"I will discuss this with my dad later to see if we should do something like this."

Liu Lei is very clear about the interests involved.

I really can't make a decision on this matter alone. I have to discuss it with my father Liu Wang to find out what's going on and then decide whether I can sell these black sea breams that weigh about one kilogram.

"Another way is to pick out some of the bigger ones, such as those weighing about two kilograms, and sell them in Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant."

"But the problem is that there won't be too many black porgy of this size."

"Among a thousand kilograms of fish, there might only be fish of this size weighing around two hundred kilograms."

“The quantity is a bit small.”

Ding Xiaoxiang had carefully looked at the fish fillets to see how many larger black sea bream there were, but there were really not many, maybe 10% or 20%. In this case, picking these fish would be a bit difficult or not very cost-effective, but if she had to sell them to Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant, this was almost the only thing she could do.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"That's one way, but if there are really only 10% or 20% of the fish that are relatively large, then it doesn't really make much sense."

"If the quantity is too small, there won't be enough to sell, so why not just not sell it?"

Liu Lei shook his head.

If there aren't enough restaurants here, there really isn't much point.

The situation is similar with Wu Weimin’s private restaurant. First of all, there must be a certain number of people. Without a certain number, it won’t work.

"We still have to think about whether we should sell this kind of black material weighing about one kilogram, or how to sell black porgy of this size, such as what kind of dish to make it into. As long as this can be solved, then we can sell it. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult."

The more Liu Lei thought about it, the more he felt that he really couldn't make up his mind about this matter. He must go back and have a good discussion with his father Liu Gang.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and stopped talking about this matter. Matters like this could only be decided by Liu Lei and Liu Gang.

Ding Xiaoxiang talked for a while and then left Hongyun Restaurant as she had other things to do.

"Can this one-pound black sea bream really be sold?"

After Yang Qin sent Ding Xiaoxiang away and turned back to go upstairs and walk into the office, she saw Liu Gang and Liu Lei sitting on the sofa discussing this matter.

"This matter is really hard to explain!"

Liu Gang had just listened to Liu Lei's explanation of the whole thing. At first he felt that there was no big problem. If it was normal, he would definitely not sell fish of this size. But now it is the fishing off-season anyway, so selling them should not have much impact on fish of this size. But then Liu Lei deliberately emphasized it, and Ding Xiaoxiang reminded him to pay attention, but he was a little hesitant and couldn't make up his mind whether to sell it or not.

"What does Ding Xiaoxiang mean? Is she more inclined not to sell or to sell?"

Liu Gang glanced at Yang Qin.

I just asked Liu Lei about this matter, but Liu Lei was a little confused about what Ding Xiaoxiang meant.

Yang Qin and Ding Xiaoxiang grew up together, so maybe they know more about it.

"There's no need to explain this. Ding Xiaoxiang must think that Hongyun Restaurant doesn't need to sell such small black sea bream."

Yang Qin said without hesitation that Ding Xiaoxiang actually disagreed with the fact that Hongyun Restaurant sold such small fish. "Huh?"

"Yang Qin."

"Why do you say that? Didn't you tell us to think about it?"

Liu Lei was stunned for a moment. Ding Xiaoxiang had not explicitly said that Hongyun Restaurant was not suitable for selling fish of this size when she was here just now. If she had really said that, it was impossible for him not to have heard it.

"It's true that they didn't say it explicitly, but they just reminded us to think about it carefully."

"But if Ding Xiaoxiang thought that Hongyun Restaurant could sell such small black sea bream or other fish, how could he sell these fish at the stall in the fish market?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang explained it very clearly. It is mainly the fish left over from the fish stall in his family's home in the fish market that will be sent to Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant."

"Will we make more money if we sell more fish to our Hongyun Restaurant and Wuweiming Private Restaurant, or will we make more money if we sell them at the fish stall?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang is a very savvy person in business. How could she give up the opportunity to make more money and choose to make less money?"

Yang Qin knew Ding Xiaoxiang very well.

If Ding Xiaoxiang really thinks that this fish is very suitable for selling in Hongyun Restaurant, then she will definitely sell it to Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant first. This way, the price will be higher and she can make more money.

Ding Xiaoxiang must have felt that the fish were a little small and not very suitable for sale in Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant.

"In the fish market in our town, fish that are too big are not easy to sell. On the contrary, black sea bream or other fish that are about one kilogram in size are the best sellers."

Yang Qin explained her thoughts in detail.

"Correct!"

"Yang Qin, you are right. This is exactly the case. If Sister Xiaoxiang really thinks that fish of this size are very suitable, then she will definitely sell them in Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant as soon as possible. This way, she can really make more money."

Liu Lei nodded. There was nothing wrong with Yang Qin's analysis. Ding Xiaoxiang must have thought the same way, but she just didn't say it out loud. However, she had to tell him about this matter so that he, Yang Qin and his father Liu Gang would think about it carefully. It would not be good if they didn't say it.

"dad!"

"We really need to think about this matter carefully. The fish sold in Hongyun Restaurant are all relatively large in size and of very good quality!"

"As for black sea bream, the smallest one we sell now is two kilograms, and most of them are three kilograms."

"It is the fishing moratorium now, so there are indeed fewer fish, shrimps and crabs, but we really need to think carefully about whether we really want to sell fish of this size."

Liu Lei was a little worried about this matter.

Whether you are running a restaurant or doing any other business, the quality is actually very important.

The business of Hongyun Restaurant has been very good recently, and the quality of the fish, shrimp and crabs sold has been gradually improved. This is an important reason why the business of Hongyun Restaurant is very good.

If we suddenly start selling black sea bream weighing about one kilogram, the price will be lowered.

"If you can't make up your mind and don't know how big the impact will be, then you might as well not sell it."

Yang Qin looked at Liu Lei and then at Liu Gang. It was obvious that she couldn't make up her mind. She must have felt that there was a certain risk in selling such small black sea bream now.

Yang Qin’s idea was very simple. She couldn’t make up her mind and didn’t know whether there were more advantages or disadvantages, so she might as well just give up doing it.

"The Hongyun Restaurant that Ding Xiaoxiang mentioned is very profitable now. We must be very cautious when doing things."

"Many times I would rather make more money than take risks."

“I think this makes a lot of sense!”

"It's the same situation as whether or not to sell a black eagle of this size at this time."

"We can make a little more money by selling these black porgy, but not much more."

"But if selling small black porgy like this has an impact on our restaurant, then the impact will be huge, and the loss will be more than just a little bit."

Although Yang Qin did not have much experience in business, she was very smart and immediately thought of what Ding Xiaoxiang had said about the situation of Hongyun Restaurant.

"Correct!"

"Yang Qin, what you said makes a lot of sense. That's actually the case."

"Selling these small black sea breams will definitely make us more money at Hongyun Restaurant, but the profit is really very limited. However, if there is any negative impact, the impact will be very great."

Liu Gang made up his mind immediately. This matter is actually that simple. If you are undecided about whether to sell it or not, then just don't sell it.

"Row!"

"It's settled then!"

"Sister Xiaoxiang just said that some of these fish are slightly larger and can reach two kilograms. If we really want to sell them, we can see if we can pick out these fish, but the number of these fish is really a bit small."

Liu Lei also felt that what Yang Qin said made a lot of sense. If these fish were too small, there would actually be a certain risk in selling them. Many times, you don't have to sell them to do business. Sometimes, if the things are not good enough, you might as well not sell them. Selling them is not a good thing.

"How about I go to the fish rack tonight and take a closer look."

"See if you can pick out a sufficient number of large fish."

"If we can pick them out, we'll do it. If we can't or the quantity is too small, then we'll just ignore it."

Yang Qin thought about it and felt that she had to go to the fish farm to take a look at the fish. The main thing was to see how many larger ones she could pick out.

Liu Gang and Liu Lei both nodded. This was something they really had to see with their own eyes on the fish farm.
