"So you're wearing multiple hats now?"

"Isn't it necessary to make a living and support the people below? In addition, I have a wide network of people, so of course it is convenient for me to find my family. Fortunately, there are many brothers who can do the work, so I brought a group of people out one after another.

Now there are more people working.”

"Awesome." Ye Yaodong gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"That's why everyone believes in me and can make a living by following me."

"It's all like this. Then hurry up and help unload the goods first. There are so many goods and it will take several hours to work. It's getting dark. If you have any questions, we can wait until the goods are weighed. We can talk about it later."

"OK."

Lao Hai summoned a large group of people to move the cargo on the ship, and also greeted Father Ye politely.

Moving and weighing a whole ship of cargo is labor-intensive, but fortunately they don't need anyone, and it can be moved quickly by a dozen or twenty people.

He also specially asked them to stack them separately according to the marks on the baskets, so that it would be easier to weigh them and come in batches.

Originally, they were stacked separately on the ship and in a regular manner. I also asked Lao Hai to get a cargo list to record the weight for him.

Of course, he wouldn't keep track of it for a long time by himself, and would just leave it to Chen Shi, who was asked to stand at the scale and listen to the record, while his father also watched the weight.

After waiting for half an hour, someone drove a truck and waited.

As soon as the front legs passed the scale and the hind legs were poured into their baskets, they were lifted onto the cart. Once the cart was full, they were immediately taken away.

He and Lao Hai stood in a corner, smoking and talking, and gave him two packs of Marlboros. By the way, he asked what factories those overseas Chinese had opened and who of the people in his phone book were in the city.

Fortunately, they don't look down on small things like fish sauce, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, low-priced, and slow to convert. Things like canned fish can be quickly converted into money through circulation, and there is also demand at home and abroad.

So he explained the purpose of his visit to Lao Hai, and Lao Hai told him to call and contact him first. After the agreement was made, he would take time to accompany him to visit the overseas Chinese in the provincial capital.

It's not impossible to go alone, but it will always be a bit abrupt. After all, he doesn't live in the same village as others, so it will be different if he is accompanied by an old acquaintance, Ye Yaohai.

"Thank you bro, I have to trouble you every time I come back to the province."

"You're welcome, we're all from the same family. Our clan is so united. We help each other. If you come and I go, can't everything be prosperous? I can also make money from your goods, and the cannery can also buy the ones they don't want.

Can we go to a restaurant and sell to other fishmongers to help each other?"

"So I asked why there are so many overseas Chinese in our clan, and everyone looks so powerful."

"This is all tradition. After the beginning is good, the atmosphere will be better later. Everyone is outside, you help me, I will help you. When you come back, you can help the collective and build your hometown. Then it will start.

.”

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but sigh, no wonder in his previous life he always heard that clans in some places were particularly united, including the famous Fuqing Gang, Changle Gang, etc.

"My second uncle has contacted you before, right? He wants to send his two children abroad. Have they come to the city? I even watched them worship Mazu before going overseas."

"They are already here. They arrived in the afternoon, just half an hour earlier than you. I asked them to find the guest house first and then meet at the pier the day after tomorrow."

"Which country are they going to?"

"Back in my childhood."

"ah?"

"Don't think those bitches have any grudges against us, but it is also a developed country, and there are many of us there, so I suggest your cousins ​​send their children there. Anyway, they are all working, and the industry is very developed there, so

The island country also has a small population, so it’s a good place to work there.”

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "Fuqing Gang?"

"What? There are indeed a lot of people in Fuqing. How did you know that? People in this place all come together one by one or in large groups. In recent years, there have been more people. They can be found in the area around the provincial capital."

"Haha... I heard that..."

It seems it's still early for the Fuqing Gang...

"Well, life in China is hard and jobs are hard to find, so those who have relatives and friends outside will think of finding a job no matter how they can make money. If they can't get a visa, they have no choice but to worship Mazu."

"Hahaha……"

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he could say this.

Ye Yaohai himself followed suit and opened a pack of cigarettes given by Ye Yaodong in his hand, handed one to him, and lit a fire for him to take.

"You are so willing to take it apart and smoke it right away. I feel so painful that I can't even bear to take one bite. I still have to take advantage of you."

"If there's anything you can't bear to part with, isn't it Marlboro?"

"It turned out to be Marlboro."

"You gave it to me. You don't know what to call it? It's really expensive. Forget it, just smoke one. Put it away and save money."

"Good luck, I caught it from the sea, and I don't have any foreign exchange coupons. Where can I buy it?" Ye Yaodong took another box of Chengfeng and gave it to him, "Just smoke this one, don't feel bad."

Ye Yaohai was not polite to him, "Yes, then you are lucky."

“I can fish out any kind of garbage, good or bad.”

"It's like this. Yesterday I heard that someone fished two embroidered shoes in succession along the coast and made a pair. I was so scared that I lost my mind. I went home to worship the Bodhisattva and asked someone to perform rituals."

Ye Yaodong shuddered when he heard this, "It's really scary. No one has such luck. It's a bit miserable. I haven't dared to go to sea for most of the year."

"I heard that the boat was for sale, but no one wanted it. I had a fever the night I got home and started talking nonsense."

"Who dares to ask for this boat when such a weird thing happens? It's okay to get one. It's normal, but it's weird to get a pair."

"Yes, so I originally planned to send people off tomorrow night, but after thinking about it, I postponed it to a day. We also have to pay homage to Mazu."

"Then please ask someone to take care of those two children."

"Those who know how to do it are not outsiders. When we go out, everyone will stick together."

"That's good."

"By the way, I saw your name and your father's name in the newspaper a few years ago in your village. Is it you? I'll go look for it. I even kept the newspaper..."

Lao Hai got up and went to look for newspapers in the drawer, and Ye Yaodong followed him.

"It was me. I picked up an overseas unmanned underwater vehicle and handed it over directly. Then I received great attention from the superiors and even held a commendation meeting to praise it."

"I said it must be you. The name of the village and the person match up. How could there be a second Ye Yaodong or Ye Jianzhang with such a long face?"

The boatman on the side said: "That's not all. Our boss is now the city's President Ye, the vice president of the Fisheries Association. He has become an official. He is very powerful."

Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed...

Ye Yaohai looked at him in surprise, "Awesome! Okay, you can go from a small fishing village to the city and become President Ye?"

"Good luck..."

Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject and told him about the law enforcement ship that seized the smuggling ship a few days ago.

"I heard that it is because of overseas spy equipment. In the past six months, the national defense department has strengthened maritime patrols and paid more attention to maritime security. Please be careful."

"No wonder, I said, why has the news been so tight in the past six months? It turns out that it is really because of this matter. Normal things don't make it to the People's Daily. This one is still on the headlines, and we are all guessing there."

"So, be careful."

"Well, I'll roll up the newspaper and take it with me tomorrow so that the overseas Chinese can take a look at our talented people."

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth and closed it again.

Well, it's better for others to show off for him than for him to show off himself.

After all the cargo of the ship was weighed and the money was paid, it became completely dark.

Fortunately, there were some small independent restaurants nearby. He went to order food in advance without closing the door. As soon as the work was done, he directly invited two tables with a wave of his hand.

After happily drinking and eating, everyone dispersed at the urging of the restaurant owner. Those who went home went home and those who boarded the boat boarded the boat.

Ye Yaodong had to take turns calling the overseas Chinese to make appointments the next day, and then asked Lao Hai to accompany him, for fear of delaying the fishing at sea.

When his father woke up in the early morning, he asked his father to sail back to the sea first. He planned to stay in the provincial capital for a few days.

When the time comes to return, let him dock again.

If there is one person missing on the ship, they can only take turns in a compact manner.

Father Ye knew that he was going to do something serious, so he just told him to be careful and didn't say much else.

Ye Yaodong was too busy for the next few days, running around like a spinning top from morning to night.

My skin was obviously fair, but I didn't get tanned at sea. As a result, after running back and forth in the city and the provincial capital for a few days, I suddenly darkened several shades, almost to the point of being almost wheat-colored.

But the results are also gratifying. Not to mention re-ordering new packaging bags, a few overseas Chinese have also placed a few more orders. After trying it for a while, if it is stable, there will be no need to worry about subsequent shipments.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about, he just wants to do some overseas market and earn some foreign exchange.

It is a wholesale market in the city. Even though the store is not big, goods are in short supply these days. Bags of fish sauce are easy to carry and transport. Sales will only become wider and larger.

His father-in-law told him that sales in the past two to three months had doubled or tripled every month compared to the previous month, and other dry goods were also selling better.

He was thinking about waiting for the kelp to be received, stocking up a batch in the store and selling it slowly, so that he could earn more and get more varieties.

After finishing everything, he took advantage of the extra time and walked around.

I discovered that I haven’t been to the provincial capital in the past six months. The provincial capital has become more and more prosperous, with many more high-rise buildings and individual shops popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Moreover, he also saw his bagged fish sauce in some grocery stores, and he didn't know where it was sold in the city. It seemed that the sales channels were also opened.
