Unfortunately, the final situation was exactly the opposite of what the "general" expected.
Except for "Sea Bunny" who said that he listened to "big brother" without stumbling, and "Sea Gouzi" who seemed at a loss despite the hard lobbying of "Little Baizi", several other "Sea Bumpers" seemed to be more and more inclined to
The final plan proposed by Hong Yanwu was to only use cash from harvesting goods and not participate in hoarding and speculation.
But it must be said that "Xiapaizi" seemed to be the smartest one. He thought about it for a while in silence, and suddenly asked Hong Yanwu a question that most people present had not thought of.
"I want to know how sure you are about this matter. If I go ahead and stock up and sell sea cucumbers as you say, how much risk will there be? Are you sure it's worth it? How much do you want to earn?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was quite impressed by him, so he answered quite seriously.
"I can't say there is no risk at all. Doing this has always been considered speculation. If something goes wrong, the result will be the same. But what I can guarantee is that my selling method is definitely much less risky than your past direct selling in the market.
.Because the state's measures to crack down on private transactions have always been to catch the transactions of both parties in the 'small market', and I don't go to the market to sell openly at all. It is highly concealed and much safer. As long as our people are strict with their words,
Pay more attention, there is basically no possibility of being copied. As for the price, the occasional drop in unexpected situations cannot be completely avoided. But even if the price keeps falling, the worst case scenario is that we have stocked up a large number of them.
It’s just light dried sea cucumber. This stuff won’t go bad if you put it away. You’ve all experienced the worst years, plus you can get some cash every time you touch the sea. I wonder how big the risk is.
It’s all clear, right…”
"Xiapaizi" listened and nodded involuntarily.
Seeing that he stood up to Dao'er, Hong Yanwu felt a little more relaxed. After lighting a cigarette, he continued, "Now that we've talked about the risks, let's talk about my own goals. From my point of view, our 'Hai Bongzi' has always been
It’s been a huge loss since then. Sea cucumbers are sold at the same price as green lengzi. No matter how good the goods are, they can’t even keep up with the prices in aquatic products stores..."
But he didn't expect that just when he said this, "Flying Crab" didn't like to hear it anymore and interrupted carelessly.
"I know you sold a high price a few days ago, and 'Xiaobaizi' has bragged for you so many times. But the price is still not up to par with the store price! I don't believe it, you really sell it better than the sea cucumbers in the aquatic products store.
It’s expensive, can anyone buy it?”
Hong Yanwu smiled indifferently. He knew that this guy had a bad temper, so he didn't get angry because he was stealing the money. Instead, he continued to explain.
"Aquatic product store? Don't forget, May Day has just passed, so you can only see some sea cucumbers in aquatic product stores. I have asked the old man and the 'general' successively, what are the stores in the city before May Day, National Day, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival?
The sea cucumbers are out of stock. The official price is there, but you still have to buy them. It seems that the second half of the year is a good time for festivals. If you don't buy ours then, who will buy it? Besides, let's stock up in advance.
Sea cucumbers, there are bound to be fewer sea cucumbers on the market, not to mention high-end horizontal goods, even low-end sea cucumbers under sixty will definitely become more expensive. Of course, how much the price can increase depends on the situation. But to be honest, stores
I don't even think the price is affordable. For example, thirty-five yuan in a store is equivalent to a minor girl. She has to be eighteen years old to get married, and some of them can raise her. Don't worry, we
I’m not greedy either, my goal is very simple, just double the price in the store!”
"I'll do it!" Hearing this, "Xia Laizi" didn't say anything and nodded happily.
Hong Yanwu and "General" were both happy because it would be easier if someone took the lead. However, they did not expect that "Flying Crab" would come to disrupt the situation again.
"'Xiao Zizi', you have always been shrewd, but today you are stupid! How can you believe what others say? He is not a god. If he really wants to make so much money, why would he touch the sea..."
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but shook his head. He was about to explain that there was a special reason why he insisted on "touching the sea". Unexpectedly, "Xiapaizi" was really a sensible person and took the initiative to distinguish it for him.
"'Flying Crab', let me tell you, this method is reliable. You still ask why you go to the sea? It costs nothing to stock up on sea cucumbers? We buy our own goods for free. We use the money from selling our own seafood to stock up.
The profit on the goods is compounded. To put it bluntly, no matter what, we can still earn more than we did alone in the past, but if it can really be like what he said. No, even if it catches up with the store's price, the final benefit will probably be yours too.
The numbers are unimaginable in your dreams. The profits are huge, the risks are small, and you are almost guaranteed to make money without losing anything! I think you are the stupid one..."
Although "Xiapaizi"'s words were his own understanding, there was a certain degree of one-sidedness. But they were also to the point and hit the mark. Therefore, the "Haibuzi" people immediately started talking excitedly, and most people were shocked when they saw it.
Moved.
But I don’t know if this kid likes to argue, or if he is unwilling to lose face, under such a good situation, he started to argue forcefully again.
"It's just bragging, and it won't be taxed anyway! No one has ever done this before, who can guarantee it? To be honest, we are just a 'sea bumper' who relies on our lives for food, and we have never thought about it.
Make a fortune and become a capitalist. Besides, if we have to sell the goods now, the money will be enough for us to work for half a year. Why bother to go to such trouble? I said you don’t be too greedy. I want to take this money and go
Buy a watch, buy a bicycle, eat anything that doesn’t taste good..."
Not to mention, the benefits are attractive, and no matter how good the prospect is, it is not as tempting as the real money in hand. Naturally, none of these "sea bumpers" have good financial conditions at home, and they are all considered to be poor.
As soon as I heard the description of "Flying Crab", everyone started to sway from side to side again.
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but secretly lamented that this was probably a problem of personal quality and vision caused by the limitations of the age. As an ordinary person, if he did not have absolute trust in him, it would be difficult to cross this hurdle. Therefore, he prepared the upcoming challenges in advance.
It is absolutely necessary to air these correct issues.
The "general" was even more angry at "Flying Crab", a "rat dropping into the pot", and finally couldn't help scolding him.
"'Flying Crab', you are so anxious just to make a small profit. I said you have some potential. I am trying to lure you to the main road, but you have to jump to the small road. Will I still harm you?
?Look far away and don’t be too eager for quick success..."
"Flying Crab" felt aggrieved. "Brother, I can trust you, but not them. Their family is not in Bincheng, after all, they are from Beijing. Besides, I am doing it for your own good. I see that you are also short of money."
Just use it, you and Sister Han..."
"Fart! We are all our own people, so who are the people from Beijing and Bincheng?"
The "Flying Crab"'s unscrupulous words really angered the "General", and his last words also made a hint of shy embarrassment flash across his angry black face, which obviously involved personal privacy that was difficult to say. Sure enough,
He continued to curse.
"I... don't tell me that you don't need to take care of my affairs. I just let you take care of it. Can you do it?"
Hong Yanwu immediately understood that there was a story in it, and at the same time he was also afraid that it would be inappropriate for the brothers to be estranged because of money. So he decided that the matter should end here, and took the initiative to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, just listen to what I have to say. In fact, it is normal for everyone to have different opinions. After all, it is your own hard-earned money. That's why we have to settle the accounts clearly and put things out in advance. I reiterate a principle
, not forced, purely voluntary. Second, no matter what, in order to ensure the interests of everyone, it is always necessary to establish an account book. So today, the first public account of our northwest coast'Haipengzi' has been established.
In the future, all sales and fishing in and out will be recorded, and you can check them at any time. The third sentence, there is still time for everyone to think about what to do and make a specific decision. We might as well wait until everyone comes to the city to meet up. Then this batch
You will see how well I sell the goods. You can just take the money if you don't want to, is that okay?"
"Hong Yanwu"'s words really left everyone with no choice. "Sanjizi" was the first to agree. He said to everyone, "This is very open. It's not too late for us to talk about it after we see the money. But I can express my position now."
, If they are not bragging and can really sell the goods at the price they said this time, I will agree with the stocking up. Brother is right, whoever has the ability should listen to whoever..."
"Ba Chu" deliberately made a condition of not being ignored. He also said to everyone, "I don't know about selling sea cucumbers, so I don't know what to do. But 'Deep Water Red' and 'No Nose'
Since they have won away the water mirrors from me and 'Sanjizi', I am not willing to listen to them. Unless they can conjure up two more water mirrors, they can just return the things to me..."
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing. This was not only because of "Ba Chu"'s selfish little plan, but also because of the two nicknames he brought out in his words.
It turns out that because of the allusion that Hong Yanwu had his first nosebleed after diving more than 20 meters into "Old Foreigner", everyone gave him the nickname "Deep Water Red". And the most unpleasant thing about "no nose" is naturally
Referring to Chen Liquan, who has never had a nosebleed before.
However, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have always resisted and resisted these two nicknames. Especially Hong Yanwu, he always felt that his nickname was given to him by the grandsons in association with a woman's menstruation.
So when he heard this, he stopped doing it again and hurriedly stopped the "Ba Octopus" from barking nonsense. He also said that they already had their own nicknames.
But I didn't expect that "Sanjizi" would be a side note. Not to mention that Hong Yanwu's nickname in the capital was a fairy name, and it also exuded the smell of milk. And Chen Liquan's nickname in the capital was even less so, like a man's crotch.
stuff.
Not to be outdone, Hong Yanwu also casually dragged others into the water. He said that people in southern Liaoning loved to eat green onions dipped in soybean paste, and "Hai Bangzi" relied on eating this to resist the cold. For example, take "General" as an example
, every time before going into the water, he would basically dip two green onions into the sauce. So now he understands the original meaning of the nickname "General", which does not refer to a general who can fight at all, but refers to the "douban sauce" made by Douban
.
This time, everyone was completely entertained, and even the "general" himself couldn't help but laugh. So in the midst of this nonsense, the atmosphere became lively again. What just happened came to an end naturally, and everyone
All the little discords and embarrassments were swept away.
At this moment, the last dish of "sea jelly" carefully prepared by the wife of "Lao Swordfish" was also served on the table, which completely raised everyone's strong appetite and interest to the top.
"Sea jelly" is actually a famous specialty dish on the northwest coast of Bincheng. Its raw material is a purple-red, weed-like aquatic plant in the sea that is not noticed by ordinary people. Some people call it "chicken feathers"
Some people call it "cow dish", and more people call it "jelly dish".
Whenever the tide goes out, these purple-red things will float and sway in a place that is half water and half rocks. When you move your fingers down, you must be dexterous, accurate and fast, so the person who does this work must be a woman.
The wife of "Old Saury" is exactly the expert at this. She has a pair of slender fingers like the tips of bamboo shoots. She can accurately pick out the sea cold cabbage one by one from the numerous sea vegetables, without missing a single leaf.
.
This has always made Hong Yanwu feel that it is a pity for the women who are "chasing the sea" at the beach, because all of them have long hands and are quite qualified to enter the music conservatory to play the piano.
As for how to turn "jelly vegetables" into jelly, it is quite simple. Bring to a boil over low heat and cook in the pot for an hour. The vegetable leaves will turn into powder, and finally be dissolved by the hot water without a trace, forming a pot.
The thick paste turns into crystal jelly after cooling. It's like a kind of magical magic.
Then take out a trembling and shiny pot-shaped crystal from the pot, then cut it into small squares or thin strips, stacked with green jade, and silver threads flashing like fish. Soak it with chili, salt, vinegar and sauce, and then use garlic sauce and sesame oil to kill the smell.
, chop a few cilantro and sprinkle it on for color and flavor, it’s ready.
However, despite such a simple workmanship, there is an extremely complicated and delicate workmanship. The ratio of salt and vinegar, the amount of garlic sauce, and the number of drops of sesame oil are very crucial, and it all depends on the god-like feeling.
Especially sesame oil, a drop more will taste greasy, a drop less will taste bland, and even a pinch of coriander sprinkled casually has a subtle taste. With the same ingredients, it is difficult for ordinary people to make "sea jelly" and "old saury" wife
Compared with those who have delicate taste, they simply feel that there is a world of difference.
In fact, there are many experts in making "sea jelly" among the people on the northwest coast of Bincheng, but it must be said that the super expert is the wife of "Old Saury". Because in addition to the above-mentioned skills, she is a head taller than others.
Yes, it's the umami and translucency of the jelly she made.
Most people's "sea jelly" has a little bit of the purple-brown color of the sea vegetables. As the color becomes more fishy, you have to use more vinegar and garlic to kill it. Of course, the taste will not be fresh. Most people basically don't like it.
It was determined that the problem was not cleaning enough, but no matter how much cleaning was done, it was of no use. The purple-brown color of the "jelly vegetables" still persisted.
But the wife of "Old Saury" had a trick of her own. She discovered that no matter how dark the color of the sea vegetables on the beach was, as long as they floated to the beach and were exposed to wind and rain for many days, they would become as transparent as white plastic sheets. So she
I thought of using the power of nature to let "Old Saury" sprinkle the fresh "jelly vegetables" on the roof tiles to expose them to the sun and rain.
The results turned out to be very effective. The dry and strong "jelly" is like pieces of translucent glass. Using such transparent "jelly" to make jelly is like soft and trembling crystal, crystal clear and jelly-like, it is really tempting
, that’s called a fragrance!
The last time Hong Yanwu and the others came here, they ate several bowls each and would not put down their bowls until their bellies were full. So this time it was the same. Many "Hai Dao people" had never seen such a wonderful "Hai Dao".
"Jiangfen". So everyone didn't care much, and inserted pairs of chopsticks straight towards the plate.
At this point, the sumptuous celebration banquet officially began. Everyone shook their cheeks and put aside the "violent rubbing" of their back molars. The wind was rolling and it was out of control. It was really hearty, full of wine and food.
As soon as the hunger subsided, people's temperaments became peaceful. No one said a word about unpleasant things. Instead, they drank wine, toasted cigarettes to each other, and talked a lot about the loyalty of brothers and the admiration for each other. It was so harmonious.
