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

Chapter 1322: Going to the Fishing Raft to See the Fish

"Zhang Li!"

"Why are you here? Why are you here so late?"

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao had finished their dinner and were sitting on the platform of the fish farm, chatting intermittently. But when they saw the speedboat approaching, they thought it was only Ding Xiaoxiang, but unexpectedly, Zhang Li was also on it, and she came over immediately.

"Come here and see the fish caught in the nets!"

When Zhang Li saw Zhong Cuihua, she immediately greeted her and took two quick steps forward to help Zhong Cuihua.

"Orb."

"Hurry up and ask the kitchen to get some food!"

"Didn't they just pull the cages from the bottom of the sea? They caught a seven or eight pound giant white eel!"

"Take it and steam it!"

"We need to get some of those other things!"

Zhong Cuihua turned her head and shouted a few words to Ma Baozhu who was not far away.

"grandmother!"

"do not worry!"

"I'll go see if there's anything delicious to cook!"

Ma Baozhu smiled and nodded, knowing that Zhong Cuihua saw Zhang Li coming, so she would definitely have to entertain her well, because she was Ding Xiaoxiang's mother and Zhao Dahai's future mother-in-law.

"There's no need to be polite!"

Zhang Li stopped her immediately.

"mom!"

"You don't have to worry about this!"

"Grandma said so, let's cook it and taste it later."

"The things caught here are not rare, but these big white eels are really good."

Ding Xiaoxiang's grandmother Zhong Cuihua must greet my mother, and all the good things on the fish fillet must be taken out.

"Row!"

"Try it later!"

Zhang Li was no longer polite this time.

"grandmother!"

"I'll take my mom and Yang Qin to check out the black sea bream caught in the net cages and see how to sell them. I'll come over here and sit for a while later."

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to the net cage containing the black sea bream caught in the net cage.

"go Go!"

"We'll talk about it after we're done!"

Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded.

Ding Xiaoxiang took Yang Qin and Zhang Li to the side of the net cage containing black sea bream, and next to it was the net cage used to catch black sea bream.

"Ding Ailian."

"How many black porgy have you caught?"

Ding Xiaoxiang immediately asked Ding Ailian who was standing next to her.

“How many black porgy were caught?”

"How do I know how much they caught? Sometimes it's a bowl of thick liquid, sometimes it's a whole cage of liquid. Now even if the total is not 8,000 kilograms, it's not much different. Maybe it's around 9,000 kilograms!"

Ding Ailian shook her head weakly. At the beginning, she was very excited to see so many fish caught in the net cage. But as time passed, there were more and more fish and she became very bored. But there was nothing she could do. She had to stay by the side and wait to pull up the cage when it was full.

"Why do I see that you are a little reluctant to catch fish?"

"Aren't these fish worth money?"

Zhang Li must have been annoyed when she saw Ding Ailian doing this.

"I thought it was fun at first, but after doing it so many times I felt a little tired!"

Ding Ailian shook her head. At the beginning, she really thought this was a great thing, watching the fish rushing into the net cages one by one, but now she really felt a little bored.

"What else can I say about catching so many fish? Even if I could sit here for a year, I would feel great!"

Zhang Li is very experienced. While talking, she stared at the net cage for a while and found that the fish in it were moving very fast. This meant that until now the surrounding fish were still rushing into the net cage with the tide. She had been here for a while and it seemed that the fish in it had increased by thirty or forty kilograms.

"Why are there so many fish?"

"If we keep doing this, what will happen?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Have the people around here noticed that we can catch so many murlocs here?"

As Zhang Li spoke, she looked around and found a relatively close speedboat about ten meters away.

"This matter cannot be concealed. If there were fewer fish, it would certainly not attract attention, but with so much rain, it will definitely attract attention."

"But these people often don't pay much attention to what's happening on our fish farms. Even if someone sees it, they probably won't pay special attention to how often our net cages are pulled up."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and felt that someone on the surrounding speedboats or fishing boats must have noticed this incident, but there shouldn't be too many people who paid special attention to it, or kept staring at the fishing raft.

Unless you keep staring at the fish paddock, you wouldn't know that so many fish can be caught there.

"No matter what, we have to be careful about this matter. We still have to be careful when pulling the net cage, or we can just fence off this place so that no one can see it. It doesn't matter if other people guess that they are catching fish here or something else." "The other people working in the fish farm have to warn them not to tell anyone about this."

“Even if other people knew about it, they would say that the fish Zhao Dahai caught were from the sea or something else, but they were not caught here.”

"Or maybe they caught the fish from other people who went out to sea to fish."

Zhang Li reminded Ding Xiaoxiang that she must pay attention to this matter. If she only caught a few hundred kilograms of fish, it would not matter. No one would say anything and no one would get angry. But if she caught six or seven thousand kilograms or even seven or eight thousand kilograms of fish in one day, she really had to pay attention to this matter.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded immediately, and everyone, including herself, had forgotten about this matter.

We really have to pay attention, otherwise when the people around see that so many fish have been caught here, some of them will be furious, and you never know what will happen at that time.

This is not about being afraid of trouble or not. In fact, there is really no need to make this matter known to everyone in the world. It is enough for only these people to know about it. This is what it means to make a fortune in silence.

"I will arrange someone to do this now."

"Isn't the sun still quite strong right now? Why don't we just put a long sunshade here?"

"Even if someone has an idea or something, it's not easy for them to see that there aren't many fish in the nets we put up."

Ma Baozhu was standing nearby and heard what Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhang Li said, and immediately came up with an idea.

"Row!"

"You can just do it like this. It won't attract other people's attention. Or you can pull down the sun blocker in broad daylight, or do something else. Anyway, no one will notice it. Even if someone does see it, it's impossible for them to see it every time."

Zhang Li nodded, this was a good idea.

Ma Baozhu immediately turned around and left, calling out to a man on the fish farm to drive a speedboat to the town to buy materials, which could be used when he returned. In fact, it was just a sunshade cloth or a sunshade curtain, which could be pulled up by oneself to block the fish being caught in the net cage.

"These fish are not too big, but if they are sold in the town, they can definitely be sold at a good price. However, it is not possible in the next few days. We have to wait for three or five days until there are not many fresh fish in the market before we can sell these fish. Then the price will be better."

Zhang Li took a scoop net and reached into the net box next to her and scooped for a while. She caught seven or eight black sea breams. After a careful look, she found that most of them weighed 70 to 80 grams, and one weighed more than one kilogram.

Zhang Li is very satisfied with this size of black sea bream, which is actually very suitable for selling in an upright fish stall. It is not too big, nor too small, and the price is very suitable for people around to buy it home. It is actually very good whether it is steamed or cooked in soup.

"mom!"

"It's settled. Let's wait a few days to see how things go and start selling these fish. My eldest or second sister-in-law will come here every day to pull in the fish."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded.

Zhang Li came here tonight just to take a look at these fish. There is actually nothing wrong with them, but this is how you do business. You have to see them with your own eyes before you can feel at ease.

"Row!"

"It's settled, but we really have to wait. I estimate it will take at least five days, or possibly seven days, before we can start working on these black sea bream."

"In two or three days, I will come here and take two or three hundred kilograms of fish to the market to try to sell them first and see how they go."

Zhang Li has a lot of business experience. She immediately thought of how to sell these black sea bream. There is really no need to rush. She needs to wait for a while until there are no fishing boats going out to sea during the fishing off-season. Only when these fish are really available can they be sold at a good price.

However, you cannot suddenly have a lot of black sea bream on your fish stall. You have to start selling a small amount of them after two or three days.

This can be used to test the market reaction, or to test whether the people in the town want black sea bream of this size. Another thing is that the price needs to be raised slowly.

Make preparations in advance and wait for seven or eight days to pass. The number of fresh fish, shrimps and crabs in the market will decrease significantly, and then take more black sea bream to the market to sell.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. Her mother, Zhang Li, was experienced, so there was really no need to worry. She could just wait for her to sell the products however she wanted. She didn't need to worry too much.

"mom."

"There is one thing you have to pay attention to, and that is how many fish we can catch every day in the net cages of our fish farm."

"It's just the beginning. It's possible that there will be more fish at the beginning and fewer fish later, or there will be more and more fish later."

"But if there are so many fish every day, our fish stall in town really can't sell so many fish."

"In this case, we have to think carefully about how to deal with these fish."

Ding Xiaoxiang reminded Zhang Li that she must pay attention to this matter.

The fish stall business at home is very good, and a lot of fish can be sold every day, but after all, this is only the business of the fish stall in the town.

The fishing moratorium had begun, so there were fewer fish on the other stalls, and my business was much better. It was unlikely that I could sell 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of black porgy in a day.

If the fish caught here are relatively small, for example, there are more today but start to become less tomorrow, or even only a hundred or so kilograms the next few days, there is nothing to say. It is impossible that they cannot be sold, it is just that there are not enough to sell.

"Row."

"I will pay attention to this matter!"

"If it weren't for the fishing moratorium, we might be a little worried that we wouldn't be able to sell the fish, but now it's the fishing moratorium, so there's really no need to worry."

"If we can't sell so many fish here, we can either sell them through your father's channels or we can sell them to people in other towns around us. Some of them are willing to buy fish from us."

"If there are really too many, I will contact the people in other towns around and ask them to come here to catch fish."

"I think there's really no need to sell these fish through your father Ding Chongshan's channels. Even if we can't sell them, we can just sell them to people in other towns around us."

"It's definitely higher than what he sold it for, and it's much higher. Even if it's just a little bit higher, it will still make more money."

Zhang Li strongly disagrees with selling these fish through Ding Chongshan's wholesale channels. It's not that they can't be sold that way. They can definitely be sold, and very easily, especially during the fishing moratorium. Many people want these fish, and no matter how many there are, they can be sold. However, the price of these fish sold through Ding Chongshan's sales channels is really not very high.

If it weren't for the fishing moratorium, people from the fish ponds in other towns wouldn't have come here to get fish. They could get enough fish at the dock in their own town. But now it's the fishing moratorium, so things are different.

"mom."

"I think your method is better. The old store sells fish at wholesale prices. Some people have to resell the fish to others. In this way, the price will not go up no matter what."

"If we sell it to people at fish stalls in other towns, the price might actually be higher."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and realized that what her mother Zhang Li said was right. If these fish were sold through the channels of her father Ding Chongshan, they would never be enough, especially during the fishing moratorium. People would scramble to get such fish, but in terms of price, they could not compare to what her mother Zhang Li said about selling them directly to people at the fish stalls in other towns nearby.
