Return To 1977 Chapter 213: Double Festival is approaching
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
The whole process took less than an hour, starting from the time when the "sea bumpers" turned in sea cucumbers and collected banknotes, to the end of the "meeting meeting". But after the meeting, everyone's mental outlook was completely different.
The "sea bumpers" who were all looking sad an hour ago came out of "Old Saury"'s house. Not only did they no longer sigh, but they also looked lively and excited.
The "general" couldn't help but slap Hong Yanwu on the shoulder and gave him four words: "Ambition!"
In short, everyone regained their energy and ran towards the seaside on the southeast coast again. And he was very down-to-earth and worked hard, and he worked hard for twenty days.
This time relying on the rubber boat, they successfully swept seven more bays. It should be said that almost three-quarters of the sea on the southeast coast has been fished out. But this time going to the sea is a little different from before.
The first is to take the initiative to reduce one employee.
"Seagouzi" stayed in the city. He had to run to the aquatic product store at least once every morning and afternoon. In addition, I have to go to a "small market" in a different urban area every day.
The main task is naturally to keep an eye on the changes in sea cucumber prices. Once the official price drops again, or the private transaction of "Hai Pengzi" is so low that Hong Yanwu can predict the price, he will immediately rush to the beach to report it.
In fact, Hong Yanwu originally preferred this job to "Xiao Baizi", wanting him to avoid the pain of hard work and stay in the city to enjoy a few days of happiness.
But I didn't expect this kid to cry, saying that he was not afraid of hardship and would follow Hong Yanwu life and death, so he gave up his comfortable life to "Seagouzi".
So Hong Yanwu had no choice but to take him with him. Of course, there is indeed some unexpected warmth.
In addition, the two thousand kilograms of "abalone shells" fished out this time were not taken back to the city to exchange for cash.
If nothing else, the current price reduction of sea cucumbers has made people panic, and "sea cucumbers" no longer dare to keep sea cucumbers. On the contrary, the price of "abalone shell" remains unchanged due to state acquisition, and its value-preserving function is also highlighted.
Making this kind of exchange at this time is like exchanging gold for antiques in troubled times. Twenty pounds of fresh abalone with meat can be exchanged for one pound of more than fifty light-dried sea cucumbers. Other "sea fishers" are still rushing to exchange them. The price-performance ratio is extremely high.
Hong Yanwu simply decided to replace all the "abalone shells" and "sea bumpers" on the southeast coast with light dried ginseng. It is cost-effective and labor-saving. What a beautiful thing!
So when they returned to Bincheng this time, the only seafood Hong Yanwu and the others brought back was sea cucumbers. After harvesting and exchanging them, one estimate found that more than 600 kilograms of light dried ginseng were purchased.
At this time, the inventory controlled by these "sea bumpers" has reached 3,000 kilograms, a full ton and a half!
On September 15, the first thing Hong Yanwu did after returning to Bincheng was to ask "Xiaobaizi" to find "Seagouzi" and ask about the sea cucumber market in Bincheng.
Of course, since "Seagouzi" never went to the beach to report, Hong Yanwu was mentally prepared for the price issue.
After the meeting, I heard about "Sea Gouzi" again, and sure enough, there were some unexpected changes in the market.
It turns out that during this period of time, the prices of private transactions among the "Hai Bangzi" did not go down, but increased a bit. Now they are basically selling out for ninety-five or ten yuan a pound.
As a result, the "general" became a little anxious and said that it would be better to start stocking up now. The "National Day" will be in a few days, and once the price rises again, it will be too late.
But when Hong Yanwu thought about it, he had a different view.
He feels that prices have gone up a bit now, but not by much. Perhaps it is because the National Day is approaching and the increased private demand has eliminated a certain amount of market fear.
But on the other hand, the supply of aquatic products stores is still sufficient and is far from being exhausted. Vice President Zhou is still able to maintain his orders.
If you want to follow the official thinking method, maybe this big man is holding back and putting all his energy into the "Eleventh Gift". Then when the price is reduced again, what impact will it have? People will not be able to praise him desperately!
What’s more, the real peak season for sea cucumber fishing will be after October, and the new production will only be seen by then, so we might as well wait and see about harvesting sea cucumbers.
After hearing this, the "general" felt at ease.
He thought about it again. In fact, it didn't matter if the price really went up. They wouldn't be cheaper than the difference of one or two yuan anyway. That would make me feel more at ease, and I could just sell sea cucumbers as usual.
In this way, before the National Day, Hong Yanwu just paid attention to the market movements.
He neither asked the "sea bumpers" to collect sea cucumbers, nor did he sell them himself. In order to let everyone have a good holiday, we did not even organize everyone to "touch the sea" again, but took a complete rest.
As for his family in Beijing, he did not dare to send money because he was afraid that his mother would have random thoughts. I just sent some dried sea cucumbers, dried abalones, dried prawns and other seafood to my home in advance, hoping to have a good holiday at home.
In addition, he took advantage of Sunday to go to the Bincheng Post and Telecommunications Office with Chen Liquan to make a long-distance call to the capital and inquire about his family situation.
It is really difficult to make phone calls these days, and he couldn't get through several times at first. Later, I finally got through, but after waiting for a full ten minutes, Qiuzi's mother in charge of watching the public phone in the capital finally called Wang Yunlin.
But he never expected that he had just asked about his father's illness, his mother's health, and his second brother's preparation for the college entrance examination. Before he could inform himself, the phone call dropped, and then he could no longer get through.
He tried it ten times, but finally he gave up because he couldn't bear the blank stares from the other waiting customers behind him.
But having said that, although Hong Yanwu had a good intention and wanted everyone to celebrate the "National Day" without having to worry about it, there was one situation that he could not have imagined.
Because in this year, September 27th is the "Mid-Autumn Festival" and it is so close to the "National Day", which further stimulates the nerves of the general public, resulting in an extremely large number of people getting married.
As a "sea bumper", I can't rest even if I want to.
The closer the time is to the "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "National Day", the more city dwellers are rushing to the seaside like crazy, walking, bicycling, and even driving cars.
These people all regard "Hai Bangzi" as their savior, begging them to go to the sea to fish for fresh seafood.
What about "sea cucumber", "abalone", "scallop", "conch", "jellyfish", "black fish", "yellow croaker", "thorn pot", "sea oyster", "hairy sea red"... there are only Yes, I want everything.
Of course, there are also many people who go directly to the home of "Hai Pengzi" through building relationships and looking for acquaintances.
So let alone the "celebrities" who live in the city, such as "General", "Sanjizi", and "Xiapaizi", there are not even "Old Saury" and other "sea bumpers" who live in the fishing village. Able to avoid.
This is indeed an extraordinary period. It can be said that this is the time of the year when "sea bumpers" are most proud and can make a fortune.
Because no matter whether they are male or female, old or young, whether they are officials or leaders, they are all shorter than "Hai Bangzi" at this time.
These people with special needs will rush to smile at "Hai Bangzi", say good things 8,880 times, hold up a handful of banknotes, and even kneel down to kowtow because they are worried that it is not enough.
This really makes all the "Hai Bangzi" proud and happy as hell. So many of them will often deliberately talk nonsense and make things difficult for these people.
"It's hard to handle. The wind and waves have been too strong recently, and the Dragon King won't let us do it!..."
Or, "It's so cold under the water. If I get married for you, I won't freeze my lifeblood anymore. Then I won't be able to get a wife..."
Then again, "I see you are happily getting married, but I still can't find a partner! How about you introduce me to someone..."
These smiling and strange words will almost always torture these poor city dwellers until they want to cry. Some brats have an addiction to testing the patience of others and taking the opportunity to satisfy their vanity.
Of course, only when the city people flatter the "Hai Bongzi" will they willingly go to the sea to **** men for their employer's wedding banquet, and search for them under the cold sea while holding their breath.
So this involves issues of principles of life and temperament, likes and dislikes.
Most of the merchants will naturally agree to whoever offers the higher price. There are also those who agree to the one who keeps pestering the longest.
Sometimes, I am afraid that beautiful women will come to ask for my help. Especially for the bride who is about to get married, if she speaks softly and takes a cigarette, her bones will become soft immediately.
Then he jumped into the sea without hesitation and plunged into the water one after another, as if he was going to marry him.
After landing, even if he is as tired as a exhausted dog, he will hold his chest high and walk onto the beach with heroic steps.
If that woman can cause trouble and smile sweetly a few times, she will definitely kill this guy. Maybe she can take the initiative to lower the price and make it cheaper.
This kind of person actually knows his faults, but he will never correct them.
Of course I will come to my senses afterwards and scold myself for being stupid and being fooled by the vixen. But next time, he would definitely still be dizzy.
In the words of "Hai Bangzi", it is called "a snake crawling into the buttocks - there is no cure".
However, these "sea bumpers" who are with Hong Yanwu are different. Their choices do not care about money or women. On the contrary, they are all kind-hearted and empathetic. As long as neighbors, relatives and friends come to the door personally to ask for it, they will basically agree readily.
And there was one more "Old Saury", and he especially couldn't bear to see the old man in trouble.
Whether it is an old man or an old lady begging him, especially those of the same age who have a frown on their faces. No need for people to say much, he will comfort them and get into the water.
Of course, if a thin girl comes, like his own daughter, "Old Saberfish" will be more emotional and won't refuse.
The ideological realm of "general" is higher.
He is afraid of meeting poor families who are in financial distress, and even more afraid of meeting couples whose marriages are not supported by their parents for various reasons.
Because even though these people can't afford much money, their similar life experiences will always make him connect with themselves.
So the next jobs for "Old Sabryfish" and "General" are often the lowest paid among all the "sea bumpers".
Speaking of which, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have no taboos, but they can't get rid of their buddies' affection.
After knowing that both "Old Saury" and "General" were in a difficult situation that they couldn't handle, the two boys took the initiative to sacrifice themselves and agreed to accompany them to "touch the sea".
In this way, on this "National Day", no one in this small group can rest.
See you in the sea again!
