Jia Yi followed Mr. Shi's grandson and walked around the village for a long time. This was indeed a fishing village, with a lot of salted fish drying in the yards of every household.

Unfortunately, there was really nothing interesting to do in Tanggu at this time. In addition, Mr. Shi's grandson Xiaoyuan was still nearby, so Jia Yi couldn't take out his camera.

"Let's wait until next time. This kind of mark of the times is still worth recording."

The banquet in the fishing village is very special. Fish, shrimp, crab, kelp, and shrimp paste are so delicious that Jia Yi can't stop eating.

However, what is different from Jia Yi is the Shi family. They all focus on braised pork. They are used to eating seafood and feel it is normal. However, they rarely eat pork. Their mouths are full of oil.

I think it's very delicious.

This is all because of the inconvenience of transportation. Goods from various places are backlogged in the place of origin. People on the seaside want to eat some rice, noodles, red meat and so on until they vomit after eating seafood. As for those in the mainland, they can’t eat seafood...

After the meal, Jia Yi touched his bulging belly with satisfaction. It was so delicious.

"How is it, Xiao Yi, the food is to your liking!"

"Old man, the seafood you cook is so delicious."

"Just eat if you like. You can eat at my house from now on, and I'll ask the old lady to cook it for you. I'll make sure it's not the same every day."

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Jia Yi agreed. He didn't just want to satisfy his appetite. In fact, he also wanted to learn skills. Fishermen have their own way of handling seafood, which is completely different from those of chefs.

Jia Yi still wants to learn cooking skills. After all, Taoyuan will soon produce seafood.

…

"Xiao Wu, come here."

"Here, father, what's the matter?"

Mr. Shi patted his tall and strong young son beside him and felt very proud. This kind of figure had always been his dream, but it was a pity that only his youngest son had such a figure.

"Xiao Wu, this is Jia Yi, Xiao Yi, this is my youngest son Shi Wu. He often goes out to sea to fish and knows the market better than me."

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Xiao Wu, tell Xiao Yi the exchange ratio between various seafood and rice, flour and grain."

Although Shi Wu didn't understand why he told Jia Yi, a stranger, his trust in his father still made him tell Jia Yi truthfully.

Because we are on the coast here, seafood is very common. For example, if you buy small yellow croaker in the mainland, you not only need a ticket, but it also sells for more than ten cents a pound. But here, not only do you not need a ticket, but you can buy it for just a few cents.

One pound, of course, is not bought at a supply and marketing cooperative.

As for ordinary southern rice, you can buy it with a ticket in the mainland for a little over 10 cents per pound. The price at the supply and marketing cooperative here is actually the same, but the price at the Pigeon Market is different, at least 30 cents per pound.

There is no way, there is no shortage of seafood here, but seafood is not very filling, and most of them cannot afford expensive seasonings. In addition, transportation capacity is poor, so the price of seafood naturally cannot go up.

At this time, Jia Yi felt confident. Although the prices of seafood vary, such as large yellow croaker being much more expensive than small yellow croaker, it is not much more expensive here.

Moreover, he specifically asked Shi Wu that there was a market for potatoes and sweet potatoes here, and the price at the pigeon market was five cents a pound.

"How about it, Xiao Yi, how much are you going to change?"

"I can transport a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes here..."

"Uh, boy, didn't you say there are still rice noodles?"

"Ahem, old man, the rice I can transport is not ordinary southern rice. It is more expensive."

"Oh, tell me, how much does it cost per pound? We can no longer afford rice."

Mr. Shi doesn't believe in evil, so how expensive can rice be?

"Thirty cents a pound."

The price quoted by Jia Yi is actually not expensive. The high-quality rice sold by the supply and marketing cooperative costs 28 cents per kilogram. Jia Yi's rice is of better quality, so it is naturally worth the price.

"Ahem, it's more expensive..."

Mr. Shi smiled. Fortunately, he didn't say any big words just now, otherwise he would really be embarrassed.

"I want fresh seafood, of course, preferably alive."

Shi Wu was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Xiao Yi, let me tell you the truth. If you want fresh ones, we can bring them back, but if you want them alive, it's really hard. After all, some sea fish will die when you catch them."

"I know that those are deep-sea fish. Uncle Wu, you can bring a long needle and try to lift the belly of those fish to deflate them. I don't require them to be intact, as long as they are fresh.

I'll take them all when you bring them back."

"Is this method really effective?"

Shi Wu didn't believe it. He had never done this before, and he had never heard of it.

Jia Yi is confident that this is what he saw in his previous life. Although he doesn't know when this method was discovered, it is obvious that it has not yet reached the point where everyone knows about it.

"Uncle Wu, just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll accept it."

"Oh, okay, I'll try it."

Next, Jia Yi began to discuss details with the Shi family and his son.

The most important thing is to find a transfer station with convenient transportation. Jia Yi can't just put things out in public and then collect the overseas goods in public.

This problem can be easily solved. With Mr. Shi, a local snake, it is not a problem. There is an abandoned Dragon King Temple not far from the village.

During the special period a few years ago, the temple was evacuated and most of the contents inside were burned.

The houses in the temple are basically intact, but they are empty. Few people go to this place now, so it is a good and hidden place.

Jia Yi followed Mr. Shi on a trip. No one went to this place at all. Jia Yi was very satisfied. Moreover, the Dragon King Temple was very close to the river and the transportation was very convenient.

After finalizing the transaction location, the next thing was simple. Jia Yi used the old trick in Pigeon City and cooperated with Shi Wu, asking him to come forward to organize the collection of various seafood and deliver it to the Dragon King Temple, and then organize people to pick it up.

Materials.

Jia Yi only needs to deal with it in time, so that he can relax a lot.

After planning everything, Jia Yi's heart moved and he thought of Wang Jin.

"Old man, do you know Uncle Wang Jinwang?"

"What's wrong?"

"He told me that he also wanted to do this business. I thought, if he can be trusted, then count him in."

Mr. Shi frowned and thought for a while, then said leisurely.

"Well, Mr. Wang is quite a good person and can be trusted. It's not a bad idea to count him as one. However, you have such a big appetite and can absorb so much."

Jia Yi smiled. This old man had been asking about Jia Yi's inventory. He was afraid that Jia Yi wouldn't be able to collect much at all. In that case, his family wouldn't be able to share enough, so how could he give an advantage to others?

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Yi decided to tell the old man everything to avoid misunderstanding.

"I can temporarily transport more than 100,000 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Of course, if someone wants to exchange for high-quality rice, flour, grains and oils, they can exchange for more."

Mr. Shi and his son were a little stunned when they heard this number, thinking that this boy was not bragging, but seeing Jia Yi's confident look, they chose to believe it.

"Well, in that case, I'll ask Wang Xiaozi to come with us."

"Um."

"By the way, Uncle Wu, be careful when fishing. No matter what it is, you can bring it back to me as long as it's alive, as well as fresh kelp and seaweed."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

After everything was discussed, Jia Yi finally relaxed. He didn't expect that this trip would go so smoothly. This was also thanks to Director Zheng's letter, which allowed him to find Mr. Shi Junshi, a local snake. Otherwise, he might be in trouble now.
