Fortunately, the typhoon has just passed in the past two days, and the temperature is unknown. It does not heat up immediately, and there is no sun, so the seafood will not spoil if left at night.
But in order to keep it fresh, Ye Yaodong still rode his bicycle and planned to go to Ah Cai's wife to buy crushed ice and send the crabs to his collection point to raise them for a few hours to avoid letting them die at home.
It's too troublesome to go to the ice factory to buy bits and pieces. Anyway, their collection point will have small compartments of two or three square meters dedicated to storing ice cubes. They also received the goods yesterday, and there should be some bits and pieces of crushed ice left.
When his second brother was looking for Ah Cai just now, he asked his wife to buy some ice.
After sorting these goods and keeping them fresh with ice cubes, he went to apply for a tractor. After everything was arranged and it got dark, he sat down to eat with peace of mind.
Lin Xiuqing watched him busy and running around alone. After everyone had finished eating, he sat down and couldn't help but complain.
"The eldest brother and the second brother want to buy a shop, why do you have so much trouble and are so busy..."
She moved all the dishes on the table towards him, and found that they were all cold, "I'll heat them up for you..."
"No, it doesn't matter if the food is cold in summer, as long as the rice is hot." Ye Yaodong was also starving to death. He took big mouthfuls of food, and his words were slurred with his mouth full.
"I just want to take the opportunity to collect some goods and go to the market to sell them. I don't cooperate with them. I just help arrange the tractors. I have to bring the goods anyway."
Lin Xiuqing thought about it, and quickly shut up, "Well, you eat quickly, walk around for a while, and then take a bath and go to bed after digesting. I've boiled the water."
"Well, have you all eaten?"
"We've all eaten, we've taken a shower, and you're the only one left. You should eat all the food, otherwise you'll have to throw it away too."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong cleared away the remaining food, handed the dishes and chopsticks to Ah Qing, and then planned to pick up some seafood to meet some friends.
When he received the goods at his door in the afternoon, they came over to take a look out of curiosity. They were busy and he didn't have time to elaborate. They just took it for a walk now.
By the way, I plan to mention a few words to them. Anyway, it's just those words. As for whether they have any ideas, it's up to them. If they want, we can go together at night.
But according to what he meant, Azheng and Xiaoxiao definitely didn't have the money to buy the boat. The debt to buy the boat had just been paid off, so they definitely couldn't afford the money, even if it was just a down payment.
There was no doubt that both of them shook their heads, but this did not prevent them from taking the opportunity to drink.
Each person brought a bucket of rice wine and some peanuts and edamame, and then went to Fatty to pack up the leftover marinade from his dinner, as well as fried kidneys and other things. They walked and chatted directly to Aguang's house.
It's been a while since we drank and chatted, and Ye Yaodong stopped by to see his old sister.
Ye Huimei's belly is already very big, and it even sticks out when she wears a loose dress.
He didn't ask her to help with the processing, they could just do it themselves. Anyway, they were very familiar with Aguang's place, and the seafood they brought only needed to be boiled, which was very easy.
"When will the baby be born?"
Ye Huimei supported her waist with one hand and touched her belly with the other and said with a smile: "There are still two months left. It will be early August in the lunar calendar and it will be September in the Gregorian calendar."
"That's it. If Aguang is not at home, if you have anything to do, remember to ask his sister to go to our house to find mother. If mother is not here, go to your three sisters-in-law. They are at home all day long anyway."
"I know."
"I heard that you spent 3,000 yuan to buy a store in the city?"
"Well, your eldest and second brothers also want to buy it. I have to go to the city with them at night."
Aguang was surprised. All three brothers-in-law had to buy one?
Ye Yaodong explained again, and also had a detailed chat with A Guang and others.
A Guang's father also joined them for a drink when he had nothing to do.
He affirmed: "The shops in this wholesale market are good, but they are a bit expensive. You can buy a boat here, and the shops haven't been built yet. It doesn't look like buying a boat is safe."
"Don't you already have a boat at home? The market is not small, and it will develop sooner or later anyway."
"That's right. As long as the store can be used, it can make money slowly. But it's too far away and it's inconvenient for us to go out. Anyway, you bought everything, so it's still an industry."
Ye Yaodong heard what Pei's father said and knew that he was not optimistic about it either, so forget it and there was no need to say anything more.
Aguang said: "My father and I are planning to buy another boat. My sister-in-law said that my uncle's brother-in-law neighbor repaired the roof tiles after the typhoon. He failed to step on the stairs and fell down. Now he plans to sell the boat for medical treatment.
."
"Ah, so miserable? He even fell down the stairs..."
"Don't you already have a boat? Are you planning to hire someone to buy another one?"
"Yes, I plan to hire a few more acquaintances and make money on both boats at the same time."
Ah Zheng said with envy: "You guys are really rich. You already have a boat, and you want to buy another one. Xiaoxiao and I are trying to build a boat together. After Ah Guang changed his name, everything went smoothly.
I even want to change my name."
"Yeah, or I go back and ask a fortune teller to tell me, which year will I get rich? Where should I bow?" Xiaoxiao touched his chin, and what he said was serious.
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "If you can get rich just by worshiping somewhere, I won't be able to afford it."
"Why don't you say cut off the flesh from your body and use it as a sacrifice?"
"That won't work, it will hurt. It took me almost 30 years to build such a body."
Ye Yaodong ignored their jokes, but was a little moved, but there was no place to buy a boat now.
He just bought a shop and couldn't buy a boat that was too big. As for the boat he had now, if he wanted to buy a similar one, he could buy another one.
"Uncle, Aguang, I think if you plan to buy another boat, you should simply find someone to partner with... Hey... instead of buying a boat with others in partnership... just listen to me first..."
Seeing that Father Pei wanted to interrupt him, Ye Yaodong quickly explained, "What I mean is that you buy the boat and find someone to partner with you. You go out on the boat, and he contributes people and efforts. The catch can be 50-50, or 50-50.
You are six and he is four, and any more will be a bit cruel. It is just like the tenants in the past. All the labor and gas money belong to them, and all you have to do is build a boat."
"Anyone he can ask to work together will save you both trouble. It's also better for those who cooperate. He doesn't have to listen to anyone's instructions. How much does it cost to be a boatman for a day? This is more cost-effective than being hired to be a boatman."
"After this cooperation, if the catch is more, they will share more. If the catch is less, they can pay less rent. If they don't go to sea, they don't have to pay rent. It's quite friendly."
"It's good for you. You don't have to hire a few people on a fixed basis. If you don't go to sea, you still have to pay wages. Anyway, as long as the weather is good and the ship is moving, everyone will get a share of the money and make a profit."
In a previous life, there were people in their village doing this. With two or three boats on hand, there was no need to work. As long as the boats came back to the port, they would pick up goods and sell them.
A Guang's eyes lit up after listening to his suggestion, "This is good! It's equivalent to more work and more rewards, and you don't have to worry about my father not being able to work anymore in a few years, and I can't manage two ships."
Father Pei thought about it in his mind and felt that his suggestion was feasible.
You have to hire someone anyway, so why not hire one person to cooperate? The other party can fish the whole boat independently, and he can take half or 60% of the goods sold as rent. This is good for both parties. The other party can get a little more money, and so can he.
Save yourself the trouble.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's your brain. This is a strong idea. If I have money in the future, I can just buy two boats and put them there to make money. I can count the money at home with my feet up.
"
"That won't work. You have to pick up the goods yourself to prevent others from hiding the good stuff."
"Too!"
Father Pei fell into deep thought, "We will sum it up later."
This time he stopped drinking. After finishing the little bit left in the bowl, he stood up and thought about it by himself.
Ye Yaodong actually wants to buy another boat and use it to make money, but boats are hard to buy now, and he thinks buying a shop in the market will increase the value of the boat!
The store is now a ready-made opportunity, and I just happened to catch it.
Although the benefits do not come as quickly as shipping, shops in the wholesale market are hard to come by, so this is a long-term benefit.
Thinking like this, he wanted to buy another one...
There is no such shop after passing this village. In the future, one of the two shops can be divided between each son, and the daughter can be given jewelry or the family property will be more in the future.
As for boats, if you encounter one, you can indeed buy another one, and you will see benefits immediately.
While Ye Yaodong was drinking, he also thought about it. It was a rare opportunity to buy a store. He thought that his family had enough savings, and there would be plenty left over to buy another one.
After finishing a sip of wine, I looked at the fried kidneys on the table and couldn't help but take two more bites to replenish my waist first...
He will have to spend time with his wife when he goes back later...
Just as he kept eating, his chopsticks were suddenly knocked by Ah Zheng, "You can leave some for me. You are so rude. I look at you staring at this bowl of food and picking it up non-stop. I still want to give birth to a fourth child."
Where are they? Isn’t the punishment enough?”
"It's none of your business if I eat mine. Your wife is still in confinement, so you just have to eat it."
"I'm going to be pregnant soon, so I can't make up for it in advance."
Xiaoxiao also joined in the fun and brought the pork loin in front of him, "Don't argue, just give it to me."
"You still want to eat more and have a second child."
"Definitely! I'll have my second child when I go back tonight. My daughter happens to be five years old. I can have another baby every five years and save a fine." Xiaoxiao picked up a chopstick and chewed happily.
"I'll give you a few shakes, you're all drunk, you filthy second child."
"Tch~ You can last longer if you drink!"
"You dickhead!"
After laughing and scolding, Ye Yaodong poured himself another bowl.
After they had finished drinking the wine they had brought, they burped and walked out of Aguang's house arm in arm.
Ye Yaodong was also a little tipsy. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 9 o'clock.
Come on, there's no need to sleep anymore. Go back and take a shower. After the battle, you have to go to the dock to get crabs and set off.
Chapter 2 will be late
