Chapter 116 Kelp Is Selling Well (Please Subscribe)

Local customs of Dandan Island.

After the child is one month old.

The husband's family needs to prepare "head and tail", that is, everything the child wears from head to toe, including hats, clothes, silver medals, bracelets, anklets, shoes and socks, etc.

And the mother's family needs to prepare fresh eggs, vermicelli, mostly dried clams, dried cuttlefish, etc.

But because Zhou Xiaoying's parents were not there, and she was raised as a daughter, these things were also prepared by Chen Huiying.

And on the day of the full moon.

The eldest aunt and the third aunt also came to help. They all carried a small basket filled with red eggs, longevity noodles and freshly steamed red turtles.

They distributed them to neighbors, relatives and villagers with good relationships, one by one.

If they were given, the family that was married but had not given birth to a boy would give the other party two eggs, hoping that they would also give birth to a boy.

In addition to the red eggs,

On this day, the child also had to shave his hair.

Generally, a barber is invited to come to the house. The shaved hair should be braided into small braids and wrapped with red silk cloth.

Most of these things are done by women. Clumsy people like Li Duoyu and Li Zhengtian can only watch from the side and cannot intervene at all.

After the full month.

Li Duoyu went to work immediately. Now he must sort out the dried kelp.

Before, because the typhoon came too suddenly, everyone had no time to collect and dry the kelp, and there was no time to grade the kelp.

Now these kelp have to be unpacked, trimmed, graded, and packaged one by one before they can be sold.

And a whole warehouse of kelp is obviously not something that one or two people can complete in a short time.

So, Li Duoyu hired many neighbors and relatives to come.

Although Li Duoyu's money is not easy to earn, it is really not small. One day's work is equivalent to several days of weaving nets. Everyone is still very happy to come.

The people who came to trim the kelp were the relatives who helped to pick up the kelp seedlings. My second sister-in-law and my eldest aunt were also there.

They all brought their own small stools and scissors.

Li Duoyu held a kelp more than three meters long and introduced it to everyone:

"The head should be cut off, but not too much."

"From the kelp head, about one meter down, this is called the first-class dish, the kelp is the most delicious, and it is also the most expensive. We have to cut it here."

Since Li Duoyu still adopted the piecework model, everyone rushed to grab the kelp after knowing how to trim the kelp.

The more you grab, the more you earn.

Not long after, everyone was piled with kelp.

The second sister-in-law was the strongest, and the kelp in front of her was almost piled into a small hill. Li Duoyu felt that if she really finished all these, she could earn at least ten yuan.

Seeing them like this, Li Duoyu coughed twice: "Although we are piece-rate, if you mess up, I will also deduct your money."

Not long after.

Chen Wenchao rushed to the warehouse with sweat all over his head. When Li Duoyu saw him, he asked: "Didn't you go to see Lao Cao today?"

Chen Wenchao wiped his sweat and smiled: "I did. Lao Cao said that our house collapsed, so he went to discuss with another owner. Now we will work on our house first."

"That's great. At this rate, your house may be built in two months."

"Yeah."

Chen Wenchao was very happy. He didn't know why. Since he started hanging out with Brother Yu, everyone has been getting better and better to him.

"Have you told Liu Xiaolan's mother about this?"

"Yes."

"Then her mother should be very happy."

Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly: "Her family is in a mess now. Her brothers are fighting over the division of the family and are arguing with Xiaolan, saying that they want her to move out."

The second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua, who was very good at hearing, couldn't help but complain: "That family is really capable. They have nothing, so why do they want to divide the family? Can they give each person a few sets of bowls and chopsticks?"

"Xiao Chao, I tell you, after you are with Xiaolan, it's best to stay away from her brothers, otherwise you will have a hard time in the future."

"I know, thank you for your concern."

Li Duoyu smiled. The second sister-in-law was a little poisonous, but she could still distinguish some things clearly.

In Chen Wenchao's current situation, it is better not to get too close to Liu Xiaolan's brothers.

Cut it off if you can.

Otherwise, borrowing money and the like will definitely be inevitable in the future.

And Li Duoyu has just started working not long ago.

The neighbor Lao Hu, who got the news first, ran over immediately and ordered a batch of 300 kilograms of second-class vegetables and 500 kilograms of raw vegetables.

Since his children were all in remote places and their consumption was not high, Lao Hu thought that second-class vegetables and raw vegetables would be enough, and there was no need to sell first-class vegetables.

After hearing the news, the fishmonger Mi Laotou ran over and bargained with Li Duoyu.

"Duoyu, we are from the same village, can't you be cheaper? It's hard for me to make money at this price."

Li Duoyu said helplessly:

"Uncle Mi, it really can't be lower. If it's lower, I can't explain to others."

"There's really no room for negotiation."

"Really."

"Well, okay, then give me 200 kilograms of first-class and 500 kilograms of second-class, I'll go and sell them first, if they sell well, I'll come back and pull them."

"Okay, arrange it right away."

At this time, the village radio sounded again.

"Fellow villagers, this afternoon, at the warehouse of the village brigade, Li Duoyu from our village is selling kelp.

I heard that the kelp this time is better than last time. Today, it is still sold to our villagers at the previous price. If you want to buy kelp, hurry up and buy it today, otherwise the price may increase tomorrow."

Lao Mao shouted passionately, as if his family was selling kelp.

In the office of the brigade leader, Wang Dapao was helpless after hearing this broadcast. This was broadcasted by Li Duoyu.

The process is normal and there is no problem. There is no reason not to broadcast it to others.

After hearing the broadcast, some villagers put down their work and rushed to the warehouse.

On the other side of the supply and marketing cooperative, some villagers who were buying things stopped buying for the time being after hearing it, and walked to the warehouse.

Even the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative said, "Xiao Li, please help me take a look first. I'll go buy some kelp first. My naughty child has been clamoring for kelp soup since he ate it last time."

"Remember, buy me a few kilograms of first-class ones, and I'll pay you later."

"No problem."

In a small room in the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Jinjun held the bill in one hand and the calculator in the other hand and kept calculating.

But the more he calculated, the darker his face became.

Since the last surprise inspection by the big leader, he didn't dare to change the price back. Now the more he sells, the more he loses.

And Li Niantian, who competed with him for the village director, used to be from the fishery team and was the captain of the fishery team. Half of the fishermen in the village had a good relationship with him.

It's not easy to win him, but this man has never sold goods and is very innocent, so there is no way to make a fuss about him.

During this period, in order to win votes, Wang Jinjun almost spent all his family assets.

If he called a halt now, then everything would be gone. He could only bite the bullet and continue to work, selling things cheaply to see if he could get more votes.

But just now, when Wang Jinjun heard that the saleswoman had skipped work to buy kelp, he was so angry that his teeth were almost broken.

If it were normal times, he would definitely scold the saleswoman.

But it was different now. If he scolded her, maybe her family would not vote for him, so during this period, there was only one thing he could do, that is, endure!

Not long after the broadcast.

At the door of the warehouse, a long queue of people lined up to buy kelp, and people are often like this. When they see everyone starting to grab it, they don’t care whether the things are good or not, and they just line up first.

A long queue, when it got to the back, was split into two.

An old man shouted: "

"Duoyu, give me a pound of first-class, I want to try to see if there is any difference. ”

Li Duoyu held a small scale in one hand and a calculator on the other. After weighing the old man, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, your pound is 1.5, so I'll just give you one pound."

"You, boy, really know how to do business."

Chen Huiying, who was helping on the side, felt very distressed. This son was too generous. Why did he give all the decimals to others?

She simply calculated that she had lost at least seven or eight yuan in decimals from the sales until now.

Since there were many villagers who came to buy, the people who trimmed the kelp in the warehouse had no time to pack them.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua looked at the kelp that was constantly being sold, her eyes full of envy, and she was thinking in her heart that this year she would let Yaoguo raise kelp like Duoyu.

Please recommend and vote for me.

There will be another chapter later. I have been working hard to write, but I am a clumsy hand.
