As soon as the two brothers heard the question on the phone, they rushed to the table. Ye Yaohua couldn't wait to take the phone from the old lady's hand.
"Dongzi, are you doing well there?"
Ye Yaodong chatted for a long time on the other end of the phone, talking about what he had seen here, and then about the sales situation in the afternoon.
Ye Yaohua was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide, "Is it really that much? You also sold it for 520, isn't that how much you earned several times more?"
He was extremely excited and regretted that he should have followed him in the early morning.
"Okay, okay, I'll discuss it with my eldest brother later, where will you stay tonight? Is it convenient to eat and sleep? Will it be on the boat?"
"Oh, okay, okay, you can rent a place for educated youth..."
Ye Yaodong can be regarded as knowing everything. He told everything about the situation here clearly. As for whether to come or not, it is up to them to decide. He also left the phone number of the village for them.
Ask them to call if anything happens.
"By the way, if you come here, remember to invite a few more people, prepare a few more cutting knives, as well as baskets and long bamboo poles for drying. I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the long bamboo poles.
I’m afraid there’s no way to dry the jellyfish blood.”
After saying that, he asked Ah Qing to answer the phone and asked her to prepare some sheets. If his second brother came over, he asked him to bring them with him.
For other odds and ends, it would be better to buy them in the village to save trouble, but the quilt was really ignored by him, but it was nothing if a few grown men just slept there for one night.
The old lady and Ye Mu next to her would interrupt from time to time to ask her questions and say some caring words. Their heads were crowded together, talking to each other.
I don't usually have much to say, but now I feel like I have a lot to say.
Later, Ye Yaodong said that he still had something to arrange, so he hung up the phone, otherwise the two of them would have been nagging.
Mother Ye stared at the phone unwillingly, "I hung up before I could say anything. I didn't even ask him carefully, and his father didn't know how to come and call us..."
"Okay, okay, it's good to know that they are safe. They have just arrived in a new place and they have to get familiar with it. What's the use of knowing so much, and you can't help? It's better not to delay them in making money."
The old lady was satisfied knowing that the father and son were safe and could still receive phone calls and say a few words.
After Lin Xiuqing paid the phone bill, they walked back slowly.
Mother Ye also looked at Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua.
"Dongzi called and said that it is the jellyfish flood season over there, and it will last for another month or two. Do you two want to sail there? If you want to go there, make a decision as soon as possible. I will help you ask what time it is.
I have a cousin and an uncle, and I’ll take them with me by the way. We have to invite people anyway, so it’s better to invite our own people.”
Ye Yaohua nodded simply, but Ye Yaopeng was hesitant.
"Let's go back and discuss it and see..."
"Brother? Dongzi called and said that he earned 520 after collecting a lot of money in the village..."
Ye Yaopeng frowned and interrupted him, "He collected all the villagers' goods. He only earned so much by collecting 10,000 jins. When he went there by himself, he only caught 3,000 jins by the way. He divided it up
Later, it shrunk and sold for more than 70..."
Ye Yaohua was silent for a moment, but suddenly he thought something was wrong.
"Dongzi said that he arrived at noon, and they were separated only after they docked. So if he went out in the morning, wouldn't he be able to go out one more time? And he said that jellyfish blood costs 11 yuan per pound, and it costs more than 300 pounds per pound. Those of his
You should be able to sell it for 70, 80, 80 or 90 yuan, right?"
Ye Yaopeng was stunned for a moment.
He had forgotten the most expensive jellyfish blood.
So if you add it all up, you can't sell it for a hundred and fifty-six yuan? After deducting the gas and labor costs, the two brothers can each earn about sixty yuan a day?
Ye Yaopeng made a calculation in his mind and suddenly became excited.
Ye Yaohua did the math, and he was shocked. It wasn't that he didn't know, but he was shocked when he did the math.
He was so excited that he continued to work hard to persuade, "Brother, let's go too? Let's go to Aguang's house to call Uncle Pei and persuade them to go too. Uncle Pei has enough experience at the helm. With him leading the way, we will definitely not
Even if we lose our way, there will be more than one boat to take care of us, and with a few more people, our safety on the road will be guaranteed."
"At most we have to go back and forth a little further, spend more money on gas, and pay an extra day's wages, but what is it compared to the income? Go ahead! You can make money by following Dongzi."
In the last sentence, he expressed his true feelings. Now he is even more sure that he can make money by following Dongzi.
The old lady was beside her, listening to them talking and their analysis as they walked, and she felt a little proud in her heart. Dongzi was so smart, and he directly brought their brother a way to make a fortune.
When a person gets old, there is nothing more satisfying than a prosperous family.
But she only listened and did not persuade them. They were not children and knew better than anyone how to calculate the accounts.
But Ye Mu said anxiously: "Why are you still hesitating? Your father and Dongzi have paved the way for you, you just need to go. You are still hesitant, why should I hold the money in front of you and give it to you?"
?”
Ye Yaopeng was a little embarrassed when he told his mother. Indeed, his father and brother had already gone to take the lead and inquire about the situation, so he had nothing to hesitate about.
Concerned, he nodded, "Okay, let's go back and have a meal, and I'll go to my brother-in-law's house with Ah Hua."
In fact, he was worried that the journey was too far, unsafe, and he felt unsure.
Lin Xiuqing said hesitantly: "It will only take a month or two to go, and Huimei's stomach is already seven or eight months old."
"Let the in-laws go and invite a few more people. Just keep Aguang at home. When a woman gives birth to a baby, their grown men can't help at home. Then we will have to count on our maternal family."
Ye Yaohua nodded, "Yes, Aguang's family has built another boat. It just so happens that Aguang stays at home to pick up the goods. His father can just invite a few more people to go with him."
They discussed as they walked and stopped talking when they reached a crowded place.
On this hot day, every household either set up a table at the door, or squatted in front of the door with their rice bowls in hand to eat. When they saw them passing by, people greeted them intermittently, and it was not suitable for them to talk.
After returning home, Lin Xiuqing, the old lady and Ye Mu enjoyed their meal, but it was the turn of the two families next door who were not in the mood to eat.
After Ye's mother happily finished her meal, she ran to the boss's house next door to check on the situation. She had to let them confirm the situation before she could call someone for them.
…
On the other end, after Ye Yaodong paid the phone bill, he also told him that he lived in the Educated Youth Point, what his name was, and asked people from the village committee to go to the Educated Youth Point to call someone if they received a call looking for him.
After making the explanation, and thanking him in a polite manner that he had never seen before, he went to the beach to find his father and took them all to the educated youth point.
By the way, I went back and forth a few times to bring the jellyfish blood and jellyfish brains to the educated youth point, but I still have to keep busy and cook them.
Thinking of this, he hesitated again. Someone had to stay here to watch it tomorrow, otherwise it would be stolen if it was left outside.
Not only tomorrow, but every day from now on, someone has to be here to watch, and they also need someone to cook at home, otherwise they will come back half exhausted and still have no food to eat, and they will have to cook and process the jellyfish blood.
"Dad, I'll call my eldest brother and my second brother later and ask them to bring my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law with me, or even one of them."
He expressed his concerns, and Father Ye nodded, "You really have to leave one or two people at home to look after you, otherwise you won't worry. They are all strong laborers. It would be a pity to stay at home to look after the house."
"I'm going to make another phone call, and I'll get some fish in exchange for some food with the people in the village, and buy some rice. You go and collect some firewood to make a fire first."
"Go ahead."
When you arrive in a new place, there are a lot of trivial things to do. They are busy, coming in and out, and they have been busy until after 8 o'clock in the evening before eating.
It's just that the taste of the food is a bit unsatisfactory. They are all big men who are at home, and none of them are good at cooking.
However, when I'm hungry, everything I eat tastes delicious. No matter how unpleasant it is, I have to swallow it. It's good if it's cooked. Fortunately, the seafood is boiled and the fish is boiled in clear soup. If it's too salty, they just reach out and scoop a bowl of hot water into the soup.
If the food doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to eat it.
However, this makes me realize the importance of having a woman at home.
With a woman looking after the house and cooking the food, they wouldn't have to work so late to have a hot bite.
Father Ye was eating the tasteless vegetables and looked at Ye Yaodong, "Have you made an agreement with your eldest and second brother? Let them bring their wife over to help."
"I told you, they said we would discuss it and said that if we set off, we would have to do it during the day tomorrow."
"Um."
"Dad, you can watch it at home tomorrow while I go fishing with them. No one here can watch it."
Father Ye thought for a while and nodded, "After dinner, I will go to the boat to watch. I will sleep on the boat at night to prevent any theft. Anyway, I will watch things here during the day tomorrow."
"good."
On the boat and here, it is best to have someone watching day and night. After all, they are not locals. They are new here, so you can't be too careful.
Chen Jianian had just returned from the factory. He agreed: "We have to keep someone to keep an eye on it. After all, we are not familiar with this village. It's a pity that we were delayed for too long today. Otherwise, we could have looked for a few more villages and found the same village."
Speaks Hokkien."
"It's okay, let's stay here for now. We won't stay here for long anyway, as long as the village doesn't exclude us."
It would be nice to have a place to live when you are away from home, not to mention that it is already rented, so there is no need to move it around.
Since it was agreed that Father Ye would stay on the boat tonight and watch the fishing boats, they could go to bed peacefully.
Unexpectedly, at night at around two o'clock or almost three o'clock in the morning, when they got up and prepared to go to sea to change Ye's class, they heard what he said.
"Fortunately, I slept on the boat last night. I just squinted for a while when I got on the boat last night, and I saw a hand shining a flashlight towards us, and there were voices talking. I was surprised and turned on the flashlight. The result was
The person just turned off the flashlight, and then there was no movement. Isn’t this a guilty conscience?"
Ye Yaodong frowned, "There is no way, petty theft can happen everywhere, and this is not our village over there. To be on the safe side, we still have to keep people watching tonight."
"Well, you go to sea first. I'll go back and look after the house. After dawn, I will take out the jellyfish blood to dry. Then I will sit at the door and watch."
"OK."
The pier of this fishing village is no different from theirs. At this time, there are many people shining their flashlights everywhere. It seems that there are many people going out to sea to fish at night.
The voices on the shore were louder than the others, and it sounded very lively. There were many fishing boats parked around the pier, but they were basically old and small wooden boats. Only a few boats could compare with his.
The young man was right about the number of fishing boats in his village during the day. A village with about 60 fishing boats is considered a big village.
Ye Yaodong and the others were not familiar with the people in the village and had no communication with them. After boarding the boat, he checked his belongings and machines and found that there were no problems before driving out with confidence.
There are already many small wooden boats on the sea, but they rely entirely on human power to row the oars, so they move slowly.
As for his boat, as soon as it sailed out, it passed one small wooden boat after another and rushed directly to the front, ahead of everyone and the boat.
He doesn't need anyone to lead him or follow anyone. He can just go straight to the way he came yesterday. Anyway, he saw a lot of jellyfish on his way back yesterday.
The fishing boat sailed forward, the waves rolled loudly, and the sea breeze blew the awnings with a roaring sound.
Although their vision was not very clear in the dark night, before the boat sailed very far, within ten minutes, they saw scattered bright and polished floating objects in the seawater far and near under the weak light.
The mushroom-shaped jellyfish, which range from as big as a pot lid to as small as a pancake, make people happy.
I'm so sleepy. I need to sleep. I have another chapter to finish tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
