Chapter 868 Selling the Fish? I Can’t Even Get Into the House!

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai woke up and sat up slowly, stretching his hands and feet.

He had been running two trips to the artificial islands and reefs in the past few days, and he was indeed a little tired. However, after a nap, he felt much more energetic and his physical strength was fully restored.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard and saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao sitting in the yard and talking quietly, so he walked over to say hello.

Zhong Cuihua pointed to the kitchen and said that there were cooked meals in it. After eating, he should call Ding Xiaoxiang to see if there was anything he could help with and not stay at home.

Zhao Dahai immediately walked into the kitchen, finished his breakfast quickly, made a few calls, and finally called Hongyun Restaurant to find Liu Lei. Only then did he know that Ding Xiaoxiang had gone to Hongyun Restaurant to pay the bill early in the morning, and was now in the open space behind the restaurant with Yang Qin.

Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and told his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao that he would not come back for lunch at noon, and might not come back at night. If he did not come back at night, he should call.

"Didn't Zhao Dahai's child just come back from fishing? Why don't you rest at home for a while?"

Huang Jintao watched Zhao Dahai leave on his motorcycle, and he disappeared for a while.

"Isn't it enough to sleep until now last night?"

"Xiaoxiang has been so busy lately."

"Zhao Dahai is back this time. If he doesn't go out to sea to fish, he must be in charge. What's the point of staying at home and sleeping all day!"

Zhong Cuihua reached out and patted the big head of the little black girl lying at her feet. Zhao Dahai has been busy recently. He has been going out to sea to fish one after another. Each trip takes a long time and is really tiring. But Ding Xiaoxiang is not idle either. She has to take care of many things inside and outside. Compared with Zhao Dahai, she is even more busy. If Zhao Dahai has been out to sea, there is nothing to say. He has come back and slept for another night. He must help Ding Xiaoxiang with some work.

"Even if there is nothing to do, the two children need to spend more time together, and there is nothing to do at home."

"Do you have to watch over me and take care of me?"

Zhong Cuihua laughed as she spoke. She didn't know if there was anything to do, but she felt that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang needed to spend more time together, otherwise Zhao Dahai would have to go out to sea again in two days.

Huang Jintao nodded, it was indeed the case.

Zhao Dahai rushed to the town and saw Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin standing at the door of the restaurant from a distance. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed over.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer at home?"

Ding Xiaoxiang complained to Zhao Dahai.

"As soon as grandma saw me wake up, she urged me to come to you after dinner."

Zhao Dahai smiled. What he said was the truth. Now in the eyes of his grandmother Zhong Cuihua, his status is far inferior to Ding Xiaoxiang.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ding Xiaoxiang blushed.

"Hey!"

"I say you two are really too much, showing off your affection right in front of me?"

Yang Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What Zhao Dahai said must be true. Zhong Cuihua must have driven Zhao Dahai out to find Ding Xiaoxiang, but Zhao Dahai was just thick-skinned. He didn't care that she was right next to him and just said it directly, clearly showing off his affection.

"So what?"

"Aren't you and that fat guy Liu Lei like this?"

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't show any weakness at all, and directly replied to Yang Qin. She could say Zhao Dahai, but no one else, including her best friend Yang Qin, could.

Liu Lei heard the voice and walked out of the restaurant quickly to invite Zhao Dahai to the second-floor office for tea.

Zhao Dahai took a sip of tea and asked about tomorrow's ceremony. Everything was ready. No one else was invited this time, and there was not much to do. It was just a small ceremony, and it was done according to the customs of the village.

Zhao Dahai asked Liu Lei about the other fish, shrimps and crabs he had purchased recently.

Liu Lei nodded but shook his head. The fish, shrimp and crabs purchased recently are actually good in terms of total quantity, but not so good in terms of quality.

"Brother Dahai."

"You are back to fish. There is no shortage of top-quality seafood such as grouper, but the others are not so good."

...

"The size of fish, shrimp and crabs is always a little small."

...

Liu Lei was very troubled when he talked about this matter. His restaurant relied on these fresh fish, shrimp and crabs. There was no shortage of quantity in recent times, but the size was really not good.

"What can I do? It's good to have fish in this season. If you want big ones, you have to wait until the middle or the second half of the year!"

Zhao Dahai smiled.

This is a bit greedy. It's good to be able to purchase enough fresh fish, shrimp and crabs in this season. It's not so easy to have big ones. .

You have to wait until the second half of the year, when the fish, shrimp and crab will be bigger, and as the weather gets colder, the fish, shrimp and crab will become fatter.

Liu Lei is not unaware of this, but he wants to do a good job in business, so he definitely hopes that the fish, shrimp and crab will be as big as possible.

"Right!"

"Liu Lei."

"The fish, shrimp and crab in this season are just this size, there is no other way, as long as they are fresh enough, but you have to consider one thing, in a few months it will be the fishing moratorium, and the number of fish, shrimp and crab will be greatly reduced at that time."

Zhao Dahai reminded Liu Lei that he must plan this matter early.

Liu Lei's brows immediately twisted up, and this is what a restaurant like his that pretends to sell fresh seafood is most afraid of.

Once the fishing moratorium begins, it will last for two consecutive months. There will be no fishing boats going out to sea, only fishing boats that can fish. Zhao Dahai's speedboat can definitely go out to sea to fish, and can catch a lot of fish, but his restaurant can't just sell the fish caught by Zhao Dahai, it must also have other fish, shrimp and crabs.

"What can we do about this? We can only wait and see what to do when the time comes!"

Liu Lei thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution. He could only put it aside and find time to talk to his father Liu Gang about this matter later to see how it was handled in previous years. It is really necessary to plan ahead and think about this matter in advance.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang drank tea with Yang Qin in Liu Lei's office for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, they wanted to go somewhere else to eat, but Liu Lei and Yang Qin would definitely not let them go.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had lunch at Hongyun Restaurant at noon. They called Zhang Li and asked her to send the food over later.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang finished their meal, carried the packed food, left Hongyun Restaurant, and went to the fish market.

"Auntie."

"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law."

Zhao Dahai saw Zhang Li greet Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi immediately after seeing them, and put the food in his hands on the table.

"Why don't you rest more at home? You're so tired after going out to sea these few days."

Zhang Li saw Zhao Dahai and knew that he must have come to find Ding Xiaoxiang a long time ago.

"Not tired, not tired."

"Okay, just take a nap!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head. He was in good health. Although he was very tired after going out to sea, he would be fine after taking a nap after coming back.

Zhao Dahai didn't stay for long. He knew that Zhang Li, Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi still had to eat. It would be inconvenient for him to stay here all the time. He chatted for a few minutes and left with Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Auntie!"

"We sold quite a few sea bass this morning!"

Zhang Qi watched Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai leave, and thought of the sea bass that were sold in the morning. Some were sent back the day before, and the rest were sent back yesterday afternoon. If you add them together, the sea bass sold this morning exceeded 1,500 kilograms. The fresh sea bass don't need to be big. Those weighing two, three, or three to five kilograms are very easy to sell. The whole fish market is really unique. It's not that there is no one of the others, but most of them are frozen. Even if there are some that are alive, there are only three or five.

No matter what kind of business you do, the unique and unique business is the best to do.

"Live sea bass like this is really in great demand!"

Chen Miaomiao has been helping with the business here for more than two months, and has gradually become familiar with the market. Ding Jie's fish stall is really doing very well. A lot of fish, shrimps, and crabs are sold every day, but this is a combination of various types of fish, shrimps, and crabs. It's really not easy to sell so many of a single kind of fish.

"Almost 100% of the sea bass caught by nets or trawls are dead, and can only be frozen."

"Other speedboats that go out to sea for fishing have caught a lot of sea bass, but these are often sold to buyers, and rarely sold to stalls here in the market."

"That's why there are so many fish stalls here, but few sell fresh sea bass, and those that do sell only a few."

"If it weren't for these sea bass caught by Zhao Dahai, and if he didn't come back in the afternoon, we wouldn't have such an opportunity."

Zhang Li was a little proud. Big sea bass weighing 10 or 8 kilograms are not easy to sell even if they are alive in places like fish markets, but live sea bass weighing two or three kilograms are really easy to sell. This is because they taste more delicious, and the price is not too high. If they are alive, they are very delicious when cooked into soup.

People who grew up by the sea want this soup.

There were not many fish like this on other stalls. Only my stall had hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of fish for sale. It would be strange if it was not popular.

So many people came to buy sea bass, and they also bought other fish, shrimps, crabs, or other fish. People who had gone to other stalls saw so many people surrounding my stall and came over to take a look.

These sea bass are not just for selling and making money. They attract a lot of customers. In addition, the business of my stall is very good, and it is even better now.

"Auntie!"

"These sea bass really need to be sold here. They can't be sold to other buyers. We can make more money here."

Chen Miaomiao is a little worried. Now these sea bass are selling so well. If Ding Chongshan or Zhang Li decides to sell them to others, it means that the fish stall will lose a lot of income. Zhang Qi and I are helping here now. If we don't make much money, it's not a good thing. Zhang Qi and I definitely hope that the fish stall in the fish market can make more money.

"How is it possible? Even the gods can't take these sea bass away!"

"The sea bass wasn't caught by Ding Chongshan, but by Zhao Dahai."

"My daughter, my son-in-law, caught the fish. Can't I sell it?!"

Zhang Li was very determined. It was useless for anyone to say anything about this matter. Even if the buyers offered a higher price, they couldn't take the sea bass caught by Zhao Dahai. No matter what, they had to sell it in the fish market.

Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. These sea bass were so easy to sell. Zhang Li made the decision now, so this matter was set in stone. The two of them couldn't say anything at home now.

Zhang Li, Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi took a break after dinner. They had to start business again at three or four in the afternoon. Now the stall was very profitable. The three of them were trying their best to sell more fish and make more money.

The sun was hanging overhead. The dock was very hot at eleven or twelve in the afternoon.

Ding Chongshan picked up the teapot and poured the freshly brewed hot tea for He Ying who was sitting opposite him.

"Boss He."

"This matter is really non-negotiable. It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but these fish are different from other fish, but there is no way to sell it to you."

Ding Chongshan had a headache.

All the small sea bass caught by Zhao Dahai in recent days were sent to the dock to sell to him.

This matter has just begun. Some buyers who have cooperated with him for many years have very sensitive noses like dogs. I don't know how the news spread, but they seem to know everything at once.

He Ying came to talk about this matter today.

"Why can't you sell it to me? Sea bass of this size is just right. It is very easy to sell in the market. The price can be negotiated. We are all businessmen. You can make money and I can make money. Only by doing business can we succeed."

He Ying took a sip of tea.

"Boss He."

"We have been doing business for many years, and we are old acquaintances."

"But you know me very well. These fish were not bought from other people."

"My future son-in-law went out to sea to fish."

"Otherwise, how could these fish come back in the afternoon or even in the evening?"

"If I really bought the fish, I must sell them wholesale."

"There is really no way now!"

"My mother-in-law said that these fish were caught by her son-in-law and must be left for her to sell. Now these fish are not sold wholesale, but all sold at my stall in the town fish market!"

"If I really sell these fish to you or other bosses, I can't even get in the door when I go home!"

Ding Chongshan told the truth that he really couldn't do this. Zhang Li had told him clearly several times that if he sold these fish, he really couldn't go home.
