Xiaoxiao said sourly, "I'm so lucky to have sisters, and there are four of them. When I come back from the New Year and the holidays, the one who can't carry pig's feet, the one who buys meat buys meat, the one who carries the wine, the one who carries the wine, and the one who carries the cigarettes carry the cigarettes?
"
"It's necessary!" Azheng also raised his feet with some pride and kept shaking.
"It's so young," Ye Yaodong said seriously, "I just want to take another cart of dried fish to the city in the early morning. You can come with me at night. It just so happens that you haven't gone to sea these two days."
"Okay, that's fine. You just want to give me a ride. If you come back with goods, I'll pay for the freight."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "We'll talk about this later."
At this moment, a cry came from outside, "Ye Yaodong's phone number, Ye Yaodong's phone number~"
Everyone turned to look at the door. Ye Yaodong also stood up and looked at Ah Qing, "My father-in-law probably called me. I'll pick it up."
"Then we'll go back, and nothing will happen anyway."
"Wait a minute, your house is empty, and we have hundreds of kilograms of dried fish piled up in our house. Do you want to send it over?" Xiaoxiao asked.
Aguang also said: "Yes, my two boats are fishing there, and they are several hundred kilograms in weight. They are piled more than you guys. The place at home is so small that I almost have no place to stay. I'm worried again."
Rain, can I just bring it to you later? If you don’t have money, it doesn’t matter if you pay it later, I’m just worried about it breaking if it rains.”
"It shouldn't rain, right? Aren't you still drying the fish outside? When it's all dried, collect it and send it over again? My house is empty because I plan to dry the several thousand kilograms of dragon head fish that your father's friend Uncle Zheng has.
We collected them all together. We had already promised them before, but because there was no place to put them, we delayed weighing them for several days. I'm sorry."
"Ah, that's right. You have to weigh me first."
"So yours will be kept for two days. I will weigh the several thousand kilograms of dried dragonhead fish in the afternoon and send them to the city in batches over the next two days. Then I will make room to collect yours."
"That's okay, please pray it doesn't rain these days..."
"You crow has a bad mouth..."
Aguang also slapped himself for saying something bad, but he actually said it was raining. What they were most afraid of now was rain. Everyone in the house was piled with dried fish, which was all money.
"Well, Dongzi, it's settled. I'll go with you tonight. What time?"
"12 o'clock, right? The morning market will open when we get there. If you want to buy several thousand kilograms of fish, you have to go early to pick it up. Remember to bring more money."
"OK."
They walked out as they talked.
The villagers who had gathered there before at the gate of the courtyard have all dispersed, and there is no one at the gate. Only the neighbors’ houses are still sitting in twos and threes, killing fish and sorting shells.
His two brothers and sister-in-law next door were also busy working there, and his father and the old lady also moved a stool to sit there and help.
He was in a hurry to answer the phone, said hello to a few friends, then got on his bicycle and left.
The caller was undoubtedly Lin's father, and he was also talking about renting a house.
The village chief came over this morning and said that one of his old houses could be temporarily rented to him. The old man in the family was old and it was inconvenient to live alone. He planned to take care of him and free up the house.
It is also a single-family house, with a stove in the house and a shared well in front of the house. Father Lin also visited it and thought it was suitable and convenient. All he had to do was move the bed and daily necessities there.
Ye Yaodong also told him that he would leave for the city at night and go there to have a look at it at dawn. If there was no problem, he would rent it. At least it would be safer and more convenient to live in a nearby village.
After hanging up the phone, he felt a little more at ease and was able to solve another problem immediately.
After that shop is freed up, he can also bring in more dried fish to deliver, and he can also have a place to stock up on large quantities of goods.
Just after lunch, Uncle Pei's friend pulled over a cart full of dried dragonhead fish. The sacks stacked on the cart were taller than a person, and they were tied up with ropes to prevent them from falling when they were pushed.
.
Uncle Pei's friend was also very happy when he was finally able to kill several thousand kilograms of dragonhead fish, with a joyful smile on his face.
After he finished pushing a cart, he unloaded it in the yard and then asked his son to push the cart back to continue transporting it. He stayed here to weigh the goods first.
It happened that Ye's father was eating together here at noon. After the meal, the father and son were busy weighing and moving the goods together.
From the blazing sun, we were busy until after three o'clock, when the sun hid behind the clouds, and then we moved all the dried dragon head fish inside their house.
Ye Yaodong put his hands on his hips and took a breath. It had been two days and he was still sweating. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Lin Xiuqing.
"How many kilograms are there in total? Have you calculated it?"
"Not yet. I'm still calculating. It's not that fast. Wait a minute. It will be slower if there is no abacus."
While waiting, Ye Yaodong exchanged a few words with Uncle Pei's friends.
"Sit down and wait, uncle. The weight of your 30,000-kilogram dragonhead fish is quite a lot. It is estimated that it will be no less than 4,000 kilograms. My wife can't add the figures one by one so quickly. Wait a minute and sit down and rest."
A moment."
"Okay, it's okay, as long as these dried fish can be weighed early, otherwise, my heart will always be there. When they were piled at home, they were covered tightly with nylon bags, for fear that the rain would destroy these fish.
It’s ruined.”
"Yes, yes, that's my problem. There are too many things piled up at home. I have been busy going to sea some time ago and have not flown them away. I weighed them today and you can have a good sleep at night."
"Haha, you can really make money, both by fishing and by opening a shop."
"I can't do it alone. Fortunately, I have my father and my father-in-law to help me. One goes to sea with me, and the other helps me look after the store. Otherwise, I can't do anything. I'm just a young boy..."
Ye Yaodong pulled out both fathers and praised them without hesitation. Father Ye listened with great satisfaction.
"By the way, uncle, I see that your boat is quite big. The trawl net that goes out to sea must be like a giant dragon. One net can drag up to a thousand kilograms, right?"
"More than that, this ship is big and can go farther. The equipment on the ship is also complete. A net hauled up can weigh 2,000 kilograms. It's just miscellaneous goods, valuable or not. You have to try your luck."
"Then how long did it take for you to buy it? Did you get your money back?"
Ye Yaodong is really curious. After all, he is also someone who is about to own a big ship. He has only heard about the resources these days and has not yet sailed to farther seas to experience them.
I just went over there to take a look a few days ago and didn't have time to ask in detail. Today I have some free time to ask around.
"I just bought it last year. I partnered with two friends. I originally asked you, Uncle Pei, to join us as a partner. But he bought a smaller one by himself and stopped joining us."
"Uncle Pei bought a boat last year and said he wanted to go to Shenjiamen to shop for Shopee. Do you plan to go with you?"
"Yeah, oh, luckily he didn't go. We didn't earn as much as he did trawling at home. He was able to buy a second boat, and we haven't even paid off our debts. We won't go this year.
Just trawl at home.”
Father Ye also curiously asked: "Old Zheng, how much did you buy that boat for? How much money did you make last year? Do you have any calculations?"
"We asked someone to find a fishery group to buy it. It's quite cheap. It only costs more than 8,000 for 26 meters long. We can earn about 1/3 of it. The main reason is that the expenses outside are too high, and hiring people also costs a lot.
It’s a lot of money, and when there’s no weather and no work outside, I still have to pay wages and eat and drink, which is terrible, and sometimes I can’t even work a few days a month.”
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father also nodded in agreement, just like they went to catch jellyfish, they asked people to get on the boat and go out. Whether the weather was good or not, they had to pay for the work.
They are also lucky and don't encounter many rainy days. However, during autumn and winter when fishing for shrimps, winds often blow up.
Uncle Zheng added: "Besides, it costs a lot of money to travel all the way back and forth. But it's okay. Everything is safe and sound. That's enough. Money, you can earn it slowly. It's better to fish at home to save the expenses."
A little less, it’s not that easy outside, so we gritted our teeth and came back.”
"Yes, I am also familiar with this sea area at home."
"I heard that the Mazu temple in the village is about to be built. I will also invite a small statue of Mazu on board to ensure safety. I don't know if it's too late to donate money now? It's almost time to build the beam..."
"If you have time, you can invite Mazu's little statue at any time. When Mazu's birthday is on March 23rd next month, I can go to Mazu Temple to have a banquet and have peace. This year everyone will have smooth sailing and make a lot of money."
Uncle Zheng nodded happily, "I must go to have a feast. It's rare that such a big Mazu temple is built in the village. It's the only one in the entire county. I heard that it's all thanks to you. The first name on the merit monument is yours."
of."
"Haha, I was just lucky. I caught a big cauldron. I happened to use the big cauldron to rebuild the Mazu temple, which will also benefit the village. Otherwise, it would be in vain."
"That's right, I paid it in anyway, so I have to get more benefits. My friend's new ship is about to be built, and he even asked me to help him reserve a few more seats by then. I'm afraid it will be too late.
There is no place to sit, but I heard that people from everywhere are coming to make reservations, so it will be very busy then.”
"Sure enough, everyone who works in the sea knows everyone who works in the sea." Father Ye said jokingly.
"Yes, we all rely on the sea for a living, how can we still meet officials? Hahaha, without this life, the boat my friend built is not small, it is also 26 meters, and the marine technology is better than my broken boat
It’s more expensive, it’s really expensive, and you get what you pay for…”
Ye Yaodong thought, this is a new ship, and it is 26 meters long. Could it be the 26-meter ship being built by the shipyard he ordered in the county?
"Uncle, is there a maritime radio station installed on his ship?"
"Yes, for such a big ship, if it goes into the deep sea, it is safer to install a maritime radio station. It will also be convenient to contact the fresh goods collection ship..."
My eyes hurt. There are no more eye drops. The new ones haven’t arrived yet. I’m going to bed. I’ll refill them tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
