Chapter 329 Do You Want Me to Pinch You?

Li Changle got on board and handed the bag to Chen Yongwei, who was grinning at him. "Put it away. We'll weigh it for Uncle Kun."

"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei took it and held it in his arms, "This is the first time I've seen so many banknotes. I'm not even hungry anymore."

Ah Kun laughed and teased him, "Ah Wei, there will be another big bag later, so are you not going to eat today?"

Chen Yongwei nodded obediently, "You have to eat. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."

Hearing the two talking about eating, Li Changle rubbed his hungry stomach and asked, "Uncle Kun, have you eaten yet?"

"I bought some biscuits at the dock when I got here. I have two more in my car. I'll give them to you."

"No need, we sent some food from home!" Li Changle picked up the lunch box, which was still warm to the touch, and handed it to A Kun, "Uncle, will you just eat some?"

Ah Kun smiled and waved his hand, "No need, one rice roll is enough to fill me up."

"Then I'll eat first!" Li Changle handed the lunch box to Chen Yongwei. When they opened it, they saw salted fish, steamed eggs, and braised pork inside. The two of them started to eat with big mouthfuls.

I'm so hungry. I had a bowl of rice noodles in the morning, but I've been busy since I arrived at the dock. I'm already starving.

"Fuck!" Li Changle stretched his neck, picked up the kettle and took two sips, then patted his chest, "I'm choking to death."

“Eat slowly!” A Kun sighed as he watched the two wolfing down their food, “You’ve earned your money through hard work!”

Chen Yongwei said with a smile: "Uncle Kun, I am not afraid of hardship. As long as I can make money, I am not afraid of hardship."

"Good boy, you are someone who can endure hardships." A Kun said with a smile, "When we first started, it was even harder than yours. We did everything in secret. If we were not careful, we would be caught and our things would be confiscated."

Li Changle then realized that they had already started doing business before they were released. "Uncle, you are the ones with real skills. No wonder your business is so big."

"I can't do that. The boss is the smart one. If he hadn't brought me out, I would still be carrying manure and farming in the village!"

"Yeah, once the opportunity is missed, it's missed."

"It's not too late to start now." A Kun said, "I have asked about the shop you mentioned. One is the old house opposite Chen Ji, the landlord is planning to sell it.

There are two rooms at the end of the street. If you rent one, the rent is 40 yuan a month. If you rent both rooms together, it is 70 yuan a month, paid annually.

I suggest you buy the house opposite Chen Ji. Only when you buy it can it be yours and the business will last long."

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Changle asked gratefully, "How much does the yard opposite Chen Ji cost?"

"The two front rooms are over 60 square meters, with a small patio in the back and five rooms. The owner wants 9,800 yuan, but everyone I asked thought it was too expensive, so no one has made a move until now."

Chen Yongwei thought that he had only spent 4,000 to 5,000 yuan to build three two-story houses, while an old house would cost more than 9,000 yuan. "It's so expensive, so it's better to rent a house and use the remaining money to lend to others to earn interest."

Ah Kun smiled and said, "It's really not worthwhile to buy it and rent it out. Nowadays, private lending with friends and relatives is 2% interest, and some are as high as 3% and 3.5%. Even if you deposit more than 9,000 yuan in the bank, the monthly interest will be more than 70 yuan.

If you have money and buy it for business, the nature of the situation is different. In the future, there will be more and more businesses, and the rent will only become more and more expensive. You can get your capital back in ten years or so. "

If you lend money to someone unreliable, it’s like throwing meat buns at a dog, and you won’t get it back. Bank deposits are not safe either. Just because the interest rate is high now doesn’t mean it will be high in the future.”

Li Changle knew that he was just taking advantage of his rebirth and knew in advance what the world would be like in the future. People like Uncle Kun and Boss Gu were the ones with real abilities.

"Thank you for your advice, uncle! I'll go to the restaurant to find you tomorrow morning, and I'll buy it if I see it's suitable."

Ah Kun thought that Li Changle would choose to rent a house, and patted his shoulder happily, "Good boy, you are also a man with financial sense. When I get back, I will help you make an appointment with the landlord tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your help." Li Changle said gratefully, "If you hadn't taught me, I wouldn't have thought of so much. Thank you, Uncle Kun!"

That yard seems a bit expensive now, but in two years, you won’t be able to buy the yard on that street even if you have money.

"That's also your teaching. Some people won't listen even if you pour it into their heads."

Li Changle thought that she was like this in her previous life. No matter what her parents and An Nan said, she felt that what she thought was right. She just wanted to make big money and quick money every day.

After dinner, the two men went to the cabin and carried the bucket and hairtail to the deck.

Ah Kun pointed at the hairy catfish and said to Li Changle, "Ah Le, last year we caught a big fish weighing over 60 kilograms. We paid 30 yuan per kilogram at that time."

"I haven't received any goods this year, and I don't know the current price. Let's weigh them first, and I'll pay you after I go back and ask for the price."

"Okay!" Li Changle lifted the hairy catfish onto the scale. After weighing it, the weight was a little beyond his previous estimate, at 69 kilograms.

Chen Yongwei rubbed his hands happily, "No wonder it's so heavy."

"Yeah, I thought the maximum amount after bleeding would be 60 kilograms." Li Changle thought, even if it was 30 yuan per kilogram, it would be more than 2,000 yuan.

"The body of the hairy catfish is thick, so it needs to be weighed heavier." Several people spread a thick layer of ice on the body of the hairy catfish, and covered it with cotton wool, and then began to weigh other catches.

Ah Kun smiled as he carried the crabs in the bamboo basket to the scale and began to weigh them. "Ah Le, 125 jin of crabs, the purchase price is 2.8 yuan per jin."

"Okay!" Li Changle took a pen and paper and started to keep accounts, "One hundred and twenty-five kilograms of crab roe, 350 yuan."

Ah Kun looked at the bucket of sea cucumbers and said, "It seems that there are not as many as before!"

"I saved 20 to 30 kilograms and pickled them to feed the elderly at home."

"You did the right thing. As the younger generation, we should respect our elders when they are still alive."

Ah Kun smiled as he put the sea cucumber on the scale. "One hundred and nine catties of sea cucumber, 1090 yuan. One hundred and thirty-five catties of abalone, 337 yuan. Thirteen catties of butter crab, 104 yuan. Two hundred and sixty-five catties of crab roe, 662 yuan."

Li Changle wrote down everything, picked up the bluefin tuna and began to weigh it. A Kun patted the big fish and said, "Okay, these bluefin tuna will be plated."

"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei laughed innocently, "Uncle Kun, my brother left you the big stuff!"

"Uncle knows." Ah Kun smiled at him, "When you hold your wedding banquet, I will lend you two chefs from the restaurant to prepare the banquet."

He really liked these two honest young men and thought it was easier to deal with them. As long as you were nice to them, they would treat you sincerely.

These top-quality sea cucumbers and large abalone attracted a lot of customers to the restaurant.

"What are you still standing there for, silly boy?" Li Changle patted Chen Yongwei, "Why don't you thank Uncle Kun quickly? The chef of the Phoenix Restaurant will prepare a banquet for you. There is no other restaurant like it in the whole Pan Town."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun!" Chen Yongwei scratched his head happily, "You and Boss Gu can also come to the wedding banquet then."

"I will definitely come. The boss is very busy. It depends on whether he can find time."

"Thank you Uncle Kun!" Chen Yongwei felt very happy that A Kun could come. If Boss Gu came, the people at home might not even feel comfortable eating.

The three continued to weigh the fish. The bluefin tuna weighed a total of 2720 kilograms and sold for a total of 715 yuan. The marlin and yellowfin tuna weighed a total of 1430 kilograms and sold for a total of yuan.

Two baskets of large white pomfret sold for 240 yuan, three baskets of top-quality hairtail sold for 176 yuan, large purple sea urchins sold for one yuan each, and smaller star anise sold for a total of 213 yuan.

All the fish in the live hold were fished out and weighed, totaling 7835 kilograms, which were sold for yuan.

Ah Kun took out an abacus and fiddled with it for a while. "The total is 15158 yuan. You can come to the restaurant tomorrow to get the money for the hairtail. I will also bring back kilograms of jellyfish."

After hearing this, Chen Yongwei hurriedly said, "I'll pull the cart over and get the jellyfish."

Seeing that he was in a panic, A Kun quickly pulled him aside and said, "Slow down, I have to send the live fish back first, and then I can get other ones when I come back."

"Is that so? Then let's lift the rubber bucket onto the truck first."

Li Changle and Chen Yongwei carried the rubber bucket to the car, and brought another bucket to A Kun, "Uncle, there are a few sea cucumbers and a few large yellow croakers in here, take them back, and send some to Boss Gu's house as well."

Ah Kun happily took it and said, "The garlic meat of the yellow croaker is delicious, and even the fish head tastes especially good. It's much better than those fish that cost ten yuan a pound."

Li Changle smiled and nodded, "I like to eat this too, I think it tastes better than blue grouper."

"That's right. Yellow croaker is becoming less and less common now. I'm afraid it will be more expensive than grouper in the future."

"Of course, let's eat more now while it's cheap, so we don't have to be afraid to eat later."

"That's right!" A Kun got into the car with a smile, started the car and drove away.

Chen Yongwei happily hummed a little opera as he followed Li Changle onto the boat. He looked around with a sly look and whispered, "Brother, did we really sell 30,000 or 40,000 yuan this time?"

"What do you think?" Li Changle looked at him with amusement, "Do you feel like you're dreaming? Do you want me to pinch you to wake you up?"

"I won't do it, you just want to strangle me." Chen Yongwei said, "Brother, is what Uncle Kun said true?"

"It's true. We have a lot of people and little land here. In the future, more and more people will do business, and the storefronts on the street will become more and more expensive. It's much safer than depositing money in a bank or borrowing money from others, and it can also increase in value."

"You and Uncle Kun are both smart people. If you both say it's good, then it must be good. If there's a suitable one in the future, I'll buy it too."

"Okay, save the money, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Well, I'll bring back some fish and shrimp when I go back, so I don't have to make a trip."

"Okay!" Li Changle went with him to the cargo hold to move a dozen baskets of fish and shrimps onto the cart, and then took them back to Nanshan to kill and dry the dried fish.

Chen Yongwei pulled the cart away. Li Changle sat alone on the deck and fell asleep unknowingly. In a daze, he heard someone calling "Awei" from below. He got up and saw a woman standing on the shore, craning her neck to look at the boat.
