Ah Cai took over half of the cargo, which saved Ye Yaodong a lot of trouble. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that calling Ah Cai to come to the city was too wise.
In addition to 100,000 kilograms of squid and another moon fish, he also kept two tuna alone.
One is for the godfather, and this one is going to be given directly to Hong Wenle. After all, you can’t come empty-handed, and Hong Wenle is also a good judge of goods.
The other moon fish depends on whether he wants it or not. If not, it is easy to sell. After all, it is a rare commodity.
After all the goods were weighed, only one order was issued. It was better to collect the fresh goods on the ship and collect the money directly.
But Ye Yaodong is not worried about him running away. If his eyesight is so shallow, then this person will be like this in the future.
What's more, the nest is still in the village, and the monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple.
After half of the goods were shipped, Ye Yaodong left two people on the boat to watch, and he took the others on the tractor to the factory.
After staying up all night, not only was he tired, but everyone was also nervous. He planned to take everyone to have a good rest in a factory in the city and get some sleep first.
I was away from home for more than half a month. I got up after some sleep and got to know the situation in the city, and then stopped by to visit my godfather.
Not just to inquire about the dryer, I will definitely have to visit and show my face when I come back.
After simply asking his aunt to get everyone some food in the factory, everyone went to clean up and then borrowed a bed to sleep first.
Ye Yaodong also rinsed briefly, changed out of all the wet clothes on his body, and then went back to his room and lay down peacefully.
It was almost noon, and he was too tired to call home. Besides, it was still raining outside. Before closing his eyes, he thought about waiting until he woke up.
He couldn't eat well or sleep well on the ship for more than half a month, and his energy was also tense. As soon as he relaxed now, he immediately fell asleep.
This sleep also allowed him to sleep particularly soundly, sleeping from noon to waking up naturally the next morning.
It rained all day and stopped at night. When I opened the window, I could smell the fragrance of vegetation mixed with the smell of earth. There were still raindrops falling under the eaves.
After a good sleep, he felt refreshed and most of the fatigue on his body had dissipated. Now he just wanted to eat better and regain his strength immediately.
Ye Yaodong twisted his neck and shoulders, closed the window, and after getting dressed, he did not eat the breakfast in the factory, but went straight to his brother-in-law's shop.
There was only rice porridge and mustard in the factory. He wanted to go to his brother-in-law's place to eat meat buns and soup, and also to say hello and see how things were going.
Lin Xianghui and his wife were also very happy to see him, but business was good early in the morning and they had no time to talk to him, so they just let him eat whatever he wanted.
Ye Yaodong asked a few questions casually after eating. Seeing that they were very busy, he patted his butt and left to find his father-in-law first.
At this time, the genius has just emerged, so I find my father-in-law suitable.
It was almost 8 o'clock before he stopped talking to his father-in-law, drove the factory's tractor to the dock to move fish, and then visited his godfather's house.
Today is Sunday, so I don't have a day off from work, so it's rare for him to bump into me.
In the past, every time he came here was on a working day, he would sit in a hurry, put down his things and then leave, or he could only go after get off work hours and wait until dark when others were busy and he was busy too.
He not only brought one tuna, but also asked the workers to move two baskets of squid and put them on the tractor, and asked his godfather to deliver them to the neighbors.
Director Chen was not surprised to see him coming suddenly, since he often carried out surprise attacks anyway.
"What did you bring here? Oh, we two old people can't eat much. You can sell it for money. You don't have to bring so much..."
Ye Yaodong just handed him a basket of dried squid, with shredded squid wrapped in a cloth bag.
"I went to the deep sea on this trip and stayed at sea for more than half a month. I just came back yesterday. I dried this on the boat. It is very fragrant. I can buy some ribs to make soup later."
"Haha, how much can two people eat? Are you going to the deep sea in your new boat?"
"Yes, New Year's Eve was too short, and I didn't even think about going. I just wanted to have a good rest. I went there after the Lantern Festival. There was thunder and lightning on the sea yesterday, so I came back."
"We didn't have any thunder yesterday, but it had been raining for two or three days."
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "No thunder? I was still thinking about thunder before the Jingzhe, and the weather will not be very good until Qingming Festival."
Hearing this, he felt a little relieved. He didn't know that it was different on land than at sea. So was the theory of Jingzhe solar term still accurate?
"Then there might be thunder at sea."
"Well, fortunately, the weather was sunny a few days ago. This pack is shredded squid, which is dried from deep-sea red squid. It is delicious and especially chewy. You can chew it when you are free. There is only a small space on the boat.
, the exposure is limited, not much..."
"That's enough, that's enough. I can't eat much, but luckily it's dry and can still be stored..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "There are still fresh ones in the rear compartment."
"What are you doing with so much..."
The two of them were standing downstairs talking to their families. They didn't go to work today and it didn't rain. There were quite a few cadres coming in and out early in the morning, some buying groceries and some taking a walk. Everyone greeted them one after another when they saw them.
"Oh, Lao Chen, your godson is here again..."
"Your godson works harder than your biological son, hahaha..."
"What did you bring here again? Every time it was either a sack or a basket of baskets. What good things did you bring today?"
"This kid has a lot of heart. Ouch, what kind of fish is so big behind here..."
"What kind of fish is that?" Director Chen stood nearby and did not look into the truck bed. He did not know that there was something big in the truck bed.
Ye Yaodong first walked into the carriage, put down the iron plate surrounding the back, then leaned forward, pulled the basket to the edge, and then moved it down.
"Squid? It's such a big one. How much does it weigh?"
"What kind of fish is that? Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a big one is bigger than me..."
"The tuna was just caught. It has been bled and can be sashimied."
Seeing that everyone was curious about the fish, he dragged it down first, and then went to carry another basket of squid.
"Oh my god, it's so big..."
"How long does it take to eat this fish? I heard that this tuna is very expensive. This one weighs one or two hundred pounds?"
"Old Chen, you can do this as your godson. Such a big fish has been brought here to honor you..."
"My dear, this little comrade is so honest. Old Chen, you are so lucky..."
Director Chen's face was red and he was too arrogant. He smiled and said: "I tell him every day not to bring anything more. How much can we two old people eat? He has to come back empty-handed. He brings everything once.
It’s more than once. How can we finish eating so much food?”
"It's better for you. I can't even count on my own son..."
"Haha, there are so many things, we can't finish them all. Let's take some back for a taste later."
"Then why are you embarrassed? I eat this little comrade's food every day. The fish sauce you got last time has been eaten for several months and is still there. The dried fish is also very good for rice..."
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "I don't have anything else, I just have these things. You are welcome. My godfather and the others can't finish them. Let's share a little bit for everyone to have a taste. If there is not enough for me, there is still more on the boat. I will send it to others later."
You can bring a few baskets over."
"That's so embarrassing..."
"Lao Chen and his wife give this and that to the neighbors every day, and they all say you brought them..."
"Comrade, your business is quite big, isn't it?"
"How can there be any business? I'm worried to death now. One boat caught hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, and I only kept 100,000 catties of red squid. I also want to dry the dried squid and shredded squid to sell them for more money.
Now that the weather is gone, I’m wondering whether I should buy a few dryers to try, or I can only sell them while they are fresh. I don’t know if they will sell well, with so many goods.”
"This is simple. Isn't Director Yu in charge of industry and commerce? She has approved a lot of processing plants. Ask her to ask and get in touch. Take a look at what you have. If there is a factory that needs it, go directly to it.
In the factory, it was solved immediately."
"The machine is also easy to handle. Let me ask whose son works in a machinery factory in the province and whether there is..."
"Otherwise, just send it to the army. Can anyone ask me if this fresh 100,000 kilograms can be easily solved..."
Ye Yaodong had a smile on his face as he listened to these aunts and uncles giving him advice. This was the effect he wanted.
These people who came up with the idea probably also fed on his food, which also shows that they will be close to his godfather.
"Thank you very much. Could you please help me with some ideas? Haha, I'll think about it first and ask my godfather to see what I should do?"
Director Chen also smiled and caught squid for them, "I take what you said seriously. Come on, come on, you're welcome. There are so many. How can we eat them all? Since Dongzi said he has many, then everyone
A little bit for each person..."
"This big tuna is good whether it's sashimied, fried, or cooked in soup. I'll get a knife out later and ask Dongzi to help kill it. I'll give everyone a few kilograms of meat.
Eat and see how the fish in the deep sea are like..."
"We won't kill such a big fish. We don't know how to deal with it. We still have to let Dongzi come. Don't leave."
Ye Yaodong also agreed, "Okay, put a piece of nylon bag under it, and I'll fillet the fish. It has thawed a little since I moved it from the boat."
"Then why are you so embarrassed...hehe..."
"You're welcome, we are all neighbors. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I will go get the knife first..."
Ye Yaodong originally just wanted to come over to deliver the goods and ask his godfather for advice.
As for these things, let them handle it themselves. They can give them to whomever they want, or keep them for themselves.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t go to work today, and there were quite a lot of people coming in and out. I even greeted them when I met them, and stayed to watch out of curiosity. As a result, more and more people came around.
Now it has become his personal show.
Fish killing show.
Ye Yaodong took a kitchen knife and neatly sliced ​​out the fish from the back, then cut out the thorns on the abdomen.
Then he started cutting the fish into sections, and asked someone to get a basin of water, clean it, and then start filleting the fish.
All the onlookers tasted it and ate a fresh piece of it raw.
It hasn't completely thawed yet, but it has become soft when sliced, and it still has an icy coolness. The texture in the mouth is no different from the iced one.
The people eating it all nodded along, and some even wanted to spend money to buy it.
Ye Yaodong is only responsible for killing, and his godfather and stepmother will handle the rest.
After the busy work was over, it was lunch time, and everyone around him left with satisfaction.
The red squid and tuna were also divided up by the neighbors, but I still kept some of them.
When Ye Yaodong sat down to eat, he said: "I didn't know there would be so many people since I didn't go to work today. I will bring you two baskets when I go back in the afternoon."
"That's enough, that's enough. No need. I can't finish the food. Everyone happened to be here. Let's share one piece with them and let them solve your problem. There are only two of us, how can we finish so much food? Now
It's just right to divide it up. Most of the things you took back were divided."
He knew this, and the reason why he brought so many things here was just to let his godfather share them and gain good popularity.
Otherwise, how could he have greeted them so enthusiastically just now and given him advice all over the place? He has a soft mouth when eating people, but short hands when taking others.
"I originally just wanted to ask for some ideas, but I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of options."
"Haha, this is a family building, and all the cadres live there. It's not a difficult thing for you to do, let alone a crime."
Jin Yuzhi also said: "We'll keep an eye on it for you. When I get to work tomorrow, I'll ask about the processing factory they told me to contact. Then you can go over and contact me, so you don't have to worry about selling goods in the future.
, directly sent to various processing plants according to demand.”
"Okay, that will save me a lot of trouble. Now that I have more ships and more goods, I just rely on selling them slowly in the wholesale market. It's too slow. I still need some way. I might as well take them directly to the processing factory.
In fact, it’s better to have it yourself.”
Ye Yaodong mentioned by the way the cooperation he had agreed with Hong Wenle before, and then also said that he would discuss the progress when he goes back in the afternoon or tomorrow.
It can’t be said that it solves the problem of selling goods. There are too many varieties, but it can at least solve the problem of a few goods.
Director Chen immediately said: "It's easy to say. When you get the May 4th Youth Award and the Progressive Youth Award, even if you haven't joined the party yet, everything will go smoothly."
"I think so too. It would be best to join the party as early as possible."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to do it step by step and follow the procedures."
"Hmm, then please ask your godfather and godmother to help you pay attention to the matter of the dryer. It would be better if this can be solved once and for all. I will build a drying factory at home."
In the future, you can not only bake squid, but also dry fish.
"Let's ask in the next two days, should you keep those goods of yours now?"
"It's getting brighter in the afternoon. It should be sunny. I'll take it back and dry it in the sun first. I can't work in vain. It just so happens that you guys are also asking the neighbors about the factory and dryer where the goods are received. At the same time,
Let’s proceed, but if there’s really nothing we can do, we’ll take it to the market and sell it.”
"Okay, everyone just gave us their ideas, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"That's the best, and you can get it done once and for all in the future."
"Yes, that's right, that's it..."
They chatted while eating at the dinner table.
After the meal, he made tea for a while, and Ye Yaodong didn't leave until mid-afternoon.
The purpose of this trip has been more than half achieved, and the next step is to wait a few days before coming back to hear the news.
I went back to the factory yesterday to eat something and then went to sleep. I went to see my father-in-law again early in the morning, but I haven't asked about the factory matters yet.
When he went back in the afternoon to finish his work and settle accounts with his father-in-law, it was getting dark, so he stayed in the city for one more night before sailing back with his people the next day.
It was noon when he arrived at the pier in the town where he docked. He asked people to wait on the boat while he went to find Hong Wenle.
Call the person out, take him to the beach, and talk about other things while walking.
"What a good thing? You asked me to come out with you in such a hurry. What did you catch? I went to your house to look for you a few days ago."
"Good thing, when I caught him, I thought of you immediately. Have you been approved for the loan?"
"Yes, the approval has been approved. I have already obtained 200,000 yuan. I have chosen the site and have good relations with the officials. I am an overseas Chinese who has returned from studying abroad to build his hometown. They are very easy to talk to and are waiting for you to come back.
Now that this matter has been decided, we have to sign a contract to make it more formal."
Ye Yaodong gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome."
"What's the matter? It's a simple matter. Just invite those people over for a meal. But it's easy to talk now, but when the benefits come later, you won't be sure. You'll have to pay for it."
"We'll talk about the future later. I mentioned it to my godfather in the city yesterday. He thought it would be good for me to set up my own processing plant and build a production chain to avoid having to deal with the goods when the time comes."
"Definitely, if you build such a big ship, and there are so many ships at home, and there are so many cargos, you will definitely have to find someone to take over."
"He also helped me inquire first..."
The two of them talked while walking.
When they got on the boat, when Ye Yaodong asked someone to take the tuna out first, Hong Wenle was not too surprised, he just thought the fish was good.
"This one is for you."
"What? Give it to me? Real or fake? Although this one is not a blue-fin golden gun, the big-eye golden gun is also valuable. This one weighs 1,780 pounds, right?"
"You've already treated me to dinner and settled the land issue, so I have to express my gratitude. This was specially reserved for you. This time, the harvest is not small."
Hong Wenle smiled happily and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it. This fish is pretty good, and it's even bled. Whenever you go out to sea again, I'll go with you. If this fish is fished, it will be even more exciting."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "It's very dangerous. I haven't been out for just two or three days. We also encountered sailfish. If we fished this, it would be terrible if we caught sailfish. It might be fatal."
"
"Did you encounter swordfish? Did you catch it?"
"I accidentally picked one up..."
"Pick it up? It's so easy to pick up? Where is it?"
"Sell it as soon as it docks in the city."
"Damn it, if you don't leave it to me, you will sell it. Didn't you say you left the good stuff to me..."
"Yes, I left it for you. What's that fish? I left the best for you."
"The best? And the best? What is it? Is there really a blue fin gun?" He was curious.
Ye Yaodong waved to the others, and someone immediately went to lift the moon fish out.
"Damn it, what kind of fish is this? It looks so good-looking, so big? Is it delicious? Fish of this size usually don't taste good..."
Hong Wenle squatted down and poked at the hard, frozen fish.
"Absolutely delicious. This is a moon fish. It can be sold at a sky-high price in island countries. I caught it for a few days and kept it in the freezer. Otherwise, the fish would be warm to the touch when it was just caught. I just thought of you.
, I specially brought it back to you. The meat of this fish is fresh and tender. I heard it is very delicious. It can be called the steak of the sea."
"Really?" He was a little doubtful.
"You sold me an extra-large squid before. It's called a king squid, right? It can't even be bitten. And that oarfish looks majestic, but it's so big, and it's not tasty either."
"It is said that seafood in the sea only needs to be eaten by a big fish, but not all big fish are delicious. I am very doubtful about this fish!"
Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly. The two big guys he sold to him before were indeed not delicious, and they were also famous for their bad taste.
"This one is different. I can guarantee that this one is delicious. I'll vouch for it with my head."
"It doesn't taste good. I'll cut off your head and use it as a stool."
"no problem!"
"How much does this cost?"
"Whatever, just watch it."
"Give me whatever you want. How do you want me to give it? You have to tell me the amount."
He thought for a while and said: "Then wait a minute. You can take it first. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to give it to me. If you are satisfied with it, I will see how much money my friend gives me later. You can pay according to his number."
20% off.”
"Your friend? Want to buy it too?"
"I caught two, and when we docked, I bought one for him. The price hasn't been given to him yet. It's hard to set the price for this fish. I'll see how much it sells and give him a commission."
"Okay, then ask the workers on your boat to help me carry these two fish to the hotel."
"good."
He has more men on board.
There are two fish here, one weighs 1,780 kilograms and the other weighs nearly 200 kilograms. When they were carried through the market, many people turned their heads in curiosity.
Some people also came up and asked what kind of fish it was? There were a lot of questions.
The workers all held their heads high, were very proud, and answered all questions.
He showed off the popular science knowledge he had told them before to the crowd, which made people exclaim and reach out to touch it a few times out of curiosity.
Everyone was very exaggerated, saying that the fish would cost several thousand yuan, which attracted even more people.
A large crowd followed them all the way to the hotel.
Hong Wenle smiled and said: "You all helped me publicize it."
"It's because everyone was curious. I brought it here for you and left it to you to handle. We have to go back first."
"Stay and have a meal, it's already dinner time."
"Go home to eat. It took such a long time to go out. Everyone is in a hurry to go back now and don't have the heart to eat out. Let's do it next time."
"Okay, then you probably haven't gone to sea these days. I'll talk to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow depending on the situation."
"good."
Ye Yaodong waved to him, said goodbye, and took the people away first.
"Brother Dong, aren't you afraid that people will eat the fish and refuse to pay the debt? After all, our arms can't twist the thigh..."
The worker on the side scolded: "If you blind your eyes, who is the arm or who is the thigh? Brother Dong is not much worse than others."
"That's right, maybe I'm not as rich or as powerful as Brother Dong. Brother Dong would dare to owe the bank 200,000."
"Yes, since you dare to give it to him directly, you are definitely not afraid of him defaulting on the debt. You don't understand."
"If you give away such a large piece of tuna, how can Brother Dong be afraid that he will default on the payment?"
"Last time when Brother Dong set up more than 20 tables in front of his house, I saw that he had all gone to eat. He is definitely not that kind of person."
Ye Yaodong said: "I'd better use my brain more in the future and go home."
"I can finally go home."
"Hey, is the sun coming out?"
Everyone looked up to the sky. It had been cloudy since the rain stopped yesterday morning. Unexpectedly, the sky was brightening in the afternoon, and the sun was shining through the clouds.
"It's good when the sun comes out. It's a good thing when the sun comes out."
Ye Yaodong's steps were already brisk. It would be best if the weather lasted for several days in a row so that he could finish the boatload of squid first.
There are still a lot of things to do when I get home. I have to talk to Ah Qing and clean up the fish sauce workshop.
Think about it, there will be a lot of work to do next. Those guys from the fish sauce workshop will definitely have to transport it to the city.
Then in the past few days, I will slowly pull up the strings that my godfather can pull, and I will pull them up first, which will save trouble later.
When you go out to sea next time, the goods you bring back will be found, so you don't have to worry too much about leaving them all to Ah Cai.
So recently I have to take care of all these things at home before I can go to sea again with peace of mind.
He told everyone, "After we go back, we will have a day off today and report to the workshop tomorrow. There is still work to do."
"Okay, I'll be there when you call me."
"Brother Dong, if we don't go to sea next time, we all have to go to the workshop to report and work?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, it's almost the same. You are all paid monthly. Now that you are back, you will still have to go to work tomorrow after a day off."
"Understood."
It makes no sense, he is so busy working, and the workers are resting at home.
The large barrels and vats in the workshop require some strong labor, not to mention the ship full of cargo that has to be unloaded, and the subsequent moving and lifting work is indispensable.
After returning home, he had to explain to his father and Ah Qing that the workers had to go to the workshop to work even if they didn't go to sea.
Even if I don't have much work, I can still watch over there and schedule shifts with everyone, so I can't give my salary in vain.
"Are we going to dry shredded squid starting from tomorrow?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Yes, since the sky is glowing red now, it should also be sunny. Let's get some sunshine tomorrow to avoid bad weather... Bah..."
"Haha, let's go to work early tomorrow morning."
"It doesn't have to be too early, maybe 8:30."
"OK."
"I was so worried a few days ago. There was thunder, lightning, and rain again. I thought there would be no good weather in the future. Fortunately, it rained for two days and then the sun came out."
"The weather at sea is inherently unstable..."
"It's like a baby's face, it changes at any time..."
After everyone returned to the ship, they all got ready to leave the port.
He went back immediately, and Ye Yaodong returned home as fast as an arrow.
None of the family members knew he was coming back today, but the old lady, who had been sitting at the door and looking at the sea in the distance, was the first to notice him with her sharp eyes.
"Ah, Ah Qing, Ah Qing, Dongzi is back, go to the dock quickly..."
"Come back? How many times? He's back again today?"
Chapter completed!
