Return To 1977 Chapter 180: Dispute

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Unfortunately, the final situation was exactly the opposite of what the "general" expected.

Except for "Sea Bunny" who said he listened to "big brother" without stumbling, and "Sea Gouzi" who still seemed at a loss despite the hard lobbying of "Little Baizi", the other "Sea Bumpers" seemed to be getting better and better. The more I lean towards Hong Yanwu’s final plan, which is to only use cash from harvesting goods and not participate in hoarding and speculation.

But it must be said that "Xiaripizi" seems to be the most thoughtful one. He pondered 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 you do what you say to hoard and sell sea cucumbers, how much risk is there? Are you sure it's worth it? How much do you want to earn as your own goal? ?"

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 more risky than your past direct selling in the market. Much smaller. Because the state's measures to crack down on private transactions have always been to capture the transactions of both parties in the "small market", and I don't sell openly in the market at all. It is highly concealed and much safer. Be strict and pay more attention, and there is basically no possibility of being copied. As for the price, the occasional drop cannot be completely avoided, but even if the price keeps falling, the worst case scenario is that we stock up. It’s just a large amount of dried sea cucumbers. This stuff doesn’t last forever. You’ve all experienced the worst times. Plus, you can get some cash every time you hit the sea. I wonder how risky it is. , everyone will understand..."

"Xiaizizi" 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, we'll have a chance to meet each other." Zi' has always been at a loss. Sea cucumbers are sold at green prices. No matter how good the goods are, they can't even keep up with the prices in aquatic products stores..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, "Flying Crab" didn't like to hear it anymore, and he interrupted carelessly.

"I know that you sold a high price a few days ago, and 'Xiaobaizi' has bragged for you so many times. But that doesn't even catch up with the store's price! I don't believe it, you really sell better than aquatic products store The sea cucumbers here are expensive, can anyone buy them?"

Hong Yanwu smiled indifferently. He knew that this boy had a bad temper, so he didn't get angry for grabbing the lead and continued to explain.

"Aquatic products 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, May Day, National Day, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival in the city The sea cucumbers in the store are out of stock now. The official prices are there, but you still have to buy them. The second half of the year is a good time, and if you don’t buy them then, who will buy them? If you stock up on sea cucumbers in advance, there will definitely be fewer sea cucumbers on the market. Not to mention high-end products, even low-end sea cucumbers under 60 will definitely become more expensive. Of course, how much the price will increase depends on the situation. To be honest, I don't even think the price in the store is worth it. If I use an analogy, the price in the store is 35 yuan, which is a minor girl. She has to be eighteen years old to get married, and some can raise her. Don’t worry, I’m not greedy. My goal is very simple, just double the price in the store!”

"I'll do it!" Hearing this, "Xiaizizi" didn't say anything and nodded happily.

Hong Yanwu and the "general" were both happy because it would be easier if someone took the lead. Unexpectedly, the "flying crab" came to disrupt the situation again.

"'Xiapaizi', 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 carefully that there was a special reason why he insisted on "touching the sea". Unexpectedly, "Xiapaizi" was really a sensible person, and instead took the initiative to distinguish it for him.

"'Flying Crab', I also 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 ones that sell our own seafood. To put it bluntly, no matter what, we can still earn more than we did alone, but if it can really be like what he said, it will only catch up with the store's price. I'm afraid the final benefit will be. It’s something you can’t even dream of. The profit is huge, the risk is small, and you’re almost guaranteed to make money, so why not do it? I think you’re so stupid..."

Although "Xiapaizi"'s words are his own understanding, there is a certain degree of one-sidedness. But it’s also to the point, to the point. Therefore, the "Hai Bangzi" immediately started talking excitedly, and most people were moved when they saw it.

But I don’t know if this guy likes to argue, or he is unwilling to lose face. In this great situation, he started to argue again.

"It's just bragging, and it's not taxed anyway! No one has ever done this before, who can guarantee it? To be honest, we are just a 'sea bumper' who trades his life for food. I have never thought about getting rich and becoming a capitalist. Besides, if we have to sell the goods now, the money will be enough for us to work for half a year. I said don't be too greedy. I want to take the money. , just buy watches, bikes, whatever you want to eat 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 you can get. Naturally, no one in this group of "Hai Bangzi" has a good financial situation at home, and they are all considered to be poor and afraid of poverty. Upon hearing the description of "Flying Crab", everyone started to sway from side to side again.

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is probably a problem of personal quality and vision caused by the limitations of the times. As an ordinary person, if you don't have absolute trust in him, it will be difficult to cross this hurdle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for him to air out the problems he is about to face in advance.

The "general" was even more annoyed by "Flying Crab", a "mouse droppings that fell into the pot", and finally couldn't help scolding him.

"'Flying Crab', you are so impatient just to make a small profit. I said you have some potential, okay? I am trying to lure you to the road, but you have to jump to the side road. Do I still know how to do it? Is it harming 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. You and Sister Han..."

"Fart! We are all our own people, so why should we distinguish between 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 not easy to say. . Sure enough, he continued to curse again.

"I... don't say you don't need to take care of my affairs. I just let you take care of it. Can you take care of it!"

Hong Yanwu immediately understood that there was a story in it, but at the same time he was afraid that it would be inappropriate for the brothers to be separated because of money. So he decided that the matter should end there, 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 To reiterate a principle, it is not forced, it is all done voluntarily. Second, no matter what, in order to protect everyone's interests, it is always necessary to establish an account book. So today, the first public account of our northwest coast'Haipengzi' is here. It’s established. From now on, all sales and fishing incomings and outgoings will be recorded, and you can check it at any time. The third sentence, there is still time for everyone to think about what to do, and we might as well wait until everyone gets together in the city. You will see how well I sell this batch of goods. If you don’t want to, you can take the money right now. Is that okay?”

The words of "Hong Yanwu" 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 when we see the money. But I can do it now." To show my respect, 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 sidelined. He also said to everyone, "I don't know anything about selling sea cucumbers, so we don't know what to do. But since 'Deep Water Red' and 'No Nose' have won the water glasses of me and 'Sanjizi', I don't want to listen to them anymore, unless they can conjure up two more water mirrors, or just give me back the things..."

"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing. This was not only a selfish little plan for "Ba Chu", but also because of the two nicknames he brought out in his words.

It turns out that everyone gave him the nickname "Deep Water Red" because of the allusion that Hong Yanwu had his first nosebleed after diving more than 20 meters into "Old Foreigner". And the most unpleasant thing about "no nose" naturally refers to Chen Liquan, who has never had a nosebleed.

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 because they thought of women's menstruation.

So when he heard this, he stopped doing it again and hurriedly stopped "Ba Octopus" from barking nonsense again. He also said that they had their own nicknames.

Unexpectedly, "Sanjizi" was playing a minor role, because Hong Yanwu's capital nickname was a fairy name, and it also gave off a milky air. And Chen Liquan's Beijing nickname is even less so, like something in a man's crotch.

Not to be outdone, Hong Yanwu casually dragged others into the water. He said that people in southern Liaoning love to eat green onions dipped in soybean paste, and "Haipengzi" relies on eating this to resist the cold. For example, take "General" as an example. Every time he goes into the water, he will basically eat two green onions dipping them in the sauce. That's why he now understands the original meaning of the nickname "General". It does not refer to generals who can fight at all, but to the "big sauce" made by Douban.

This time, everyone was completely amused, 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 all the little discord and embarrassment were swept away.

At this moment, the last dish of "sea jelly" carefully prepared by "Old Saury"'s wife 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. The raw material is a kind of purple-red aquatic plant in the sea that is not noticed by ordinary people and looks like clumps of weeds. Some people call it "chicken hair vegetable", others call it "ox hair vegetable", and more people call it "bean sprouts".

Whenever the tide goes out, these purple-red things will float and sway in a place that is half water and half rocks. The fingers must be dexterous, accurate and fast, so the person doing 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, and she can accurately pick out the sea jelly vegetables one by one from the numerous sea vegetables. Nice hint of leaves.

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 high heat and then reduce to low heat. Cook in the pot for an hour, and the vegetable leaves will turn into powder, and finally be dissolved by the hot water without a trace. A pot of thick paste is formed, and after cooling, it becomes crystal clear jelly. It's like a magical magic.

Then he took out a trembling and shiny pot-shaped crystal from the pot, and then cut it into small squares or thin strips, stacked with jade, with silver threads flashing like fish. Soak it with chili, salt, vinegar and sauce, then use garlic sauce and sesame oil to kill the smell. Chop a few chopped coriander and sprinkle it on for color and flavor. It's ready.

However, despite such simple workmanship, it contains extremely complex details. The ratio of salt to vinegar, the amount of garlic sauce, and the number of drops of sesame oil are very critical. It all depends on the god-like feeling.

Especially sesame oil, a drop more will taste greasy, and a drop less will taste bland. Even a pinch of coriander sprinkled on it has a subtle taste. With the same ingredients, the "sea jelly" made by ordinary people is difficult to compare with the one made by "Old Saury"'s wife. People with delicate tastes will feel that there is a world of difference.

In fact, people on the northwest coast of Bincheng also have many experts in making "sea jelly", but it must be said that the super expert is the wife of "Old Saury". Because in addition to the above-mentioned skills, what makes her even better than others is the freshness and translucency of the jelly she makes.

Most people's "sea jelly" has a bit of the purple-brown color of the sea vegetables. As the color becomes more fishy, ​​it has to be killed with more vinegar and garlic. Of course, the taste will not be fresh. Most people basically believe that the problem lies in insufficient cleaning, but no matter how much cleaning is done, it is useless. The purple-brown color of the "jelly vegetables" still persists.

But the wife of "Old Saury" has her own trick. She discovered that no matter how dark the color of sea vegetables on the beach is, once they float to the beach and are exposed to wind and rain for many days, they will become as transparent as white plastic sheets. So she 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 spicy "jelly dishes" are like pieces of translucent glass. Using such a transparent "jelly dish" to make jelly is like a soft and trembling crystal, crystal clear and jelly-like, it is really tempting, it is called a fragrance!

The last time Hong Yanwu and the others came here, they ate several bowls each, and they would not put down their bowls until their bellies were full. So it’s the same this time. Many “sea jelly lovers” have never seen such a wonderful “sea jelly”. So everyone didn't care much, and thrust their 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 and clouds were rolling, and it was out of control. It was really hearty, full of wine and food.

As soon as the fire of hunger subsides, a person's temperament becomes peaceful. No one said a word about unpleasant things. Instead, they exchanged cigarettes with each other under the influence of wine, and talked a lot about the loyalty of buddies and their admiration for each other. They couldn't be more harmonious.
