Chapter 1067: Have ideas again

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "Am I that free? Going to sea every three days, the work in hand can't be finished, and still engage in kelp."

"Look at you saying it so easily, didn't you think it was also very simple?"

"It also needs management, and it also depends on the temperature of the sea area. Not all places can be raised, but if it can really be raised, it is simple to say it is simple. As long as there is a rope clamped and hung in the sea, and there are foam balls tied to float, you are not afraid of being hit by waves. If you are interested, it is fine to teach you. If you want to raise this, driving the whole village can also let some fellow villagers earn more money."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that they could earn more money.

"Okay, okay, if this can be raised, can it also be sold for money?"

"It can be sold for money. Hang it up to dry. After it is dried, can it be stored for a long time? And it is also convenient for transportation, unlike these seafood we catch, transportation is very inconvenient, can only be transported to the nearby towns. If this is dry, can't it be pulled away by large trucks all over the country?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Yes, after catching so many, everyone thinks about drying it and eating it on the boat for a few days, and it won't be bad. It would be better if it could be sold for money."

"There should be someone who wants it, right? People in the city have to spend money to buy vegetables grown in the ground. These vegetables in our sea are also vegetables..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the kelp floating everywhere on the sea, and also began to ponder. He couldn't do it, so he could let the villagers do it, and then he would collect it and put it in the shop to sell.

He can make money himself, and he can also bring hope for the villagers to make a living.

Although kelp is very cheap at this time and belongs to the lowest-end seafood, big goods, generally used as feed, the feed for sea cucumbers and abalones is kelp, but now few people raise abalones and sea cucumbers, and everyone eats pure wild ones.

So kelp, this low-end product, is even less likely to spend energy to raise, it is all grown casually on rocks, and no one picks it up when it falls into the sea, no one wants it, and seaside people don't bother to eat it.

When you want to eat, whoever goes to sea and picks it back, and there are those who dry it at the door, can have it, and the villagers are very willing to share.

Even if you stop at the door and look at it a few more times, people will ask you if you want it, and enthusiastically let you take some back to cook.

He thought about it and felt that it was feasible to drive the whole fishing village to cultivate kelp. In his previous life, their village also cultivated kelp. The far sea base fields also cultivated laver, and there were also hair vegetables, and even more oysters. With boats in hand, they cultivated everything. Now it is just advanced development.

The seaside fishing village with poor mountains and little land, the hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is entirely on the sea. If you build a fishing boat to go to sea to fish, you need a certain cost. Some fishermen who have no economic conditions at all have no capital.

Most of their village of more than 400 households can only do odd jobs, do some fragmented work, earn a little money to make a living, or casually reclaim some land to grow something to eat, ensuring that they will not starve to death.

The real money-making is only a very small part, and most of them are now around him.

The kelp seedlings caught from the sea, if taken back to raise, are also a way out for the fishing village, and it is also a way to make the whole village rich.

If this is really planted, it is not worried about selling at all. Why do people in inland areas eat iodized salt? It is because of the lack of iodine due to the lack of seafood intake.

And kelp is rich in iodine. Seafood is not easy to eat. If kelp is dried and transported, it is convenient.

So the salt eaten by seaside people also does not contain iodine, because they are worried about excessive iodine intake.

This drying kelp is much easier than drying fish, just find a place to spread it out and hang it.

After everyone discussed it, they all looked at Ye Yaodong.

"Can it be raised, A-Dong?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head, "Yes, find a suitable sea area, it can be raised. When going to sea last month, I occasionally saw it floating on the sea. I didn't think about catching it at that time..."

"If it wasn't caught in the fishing net, how would you think about catching it? Common things are not rare."

"If you want it, we will catch some with a hand net and dry it. This is probably grown on the rocks of which island, and then it grew old and big, and was hit into the sea by the waves, and no one wants it."

"Yes, no one goes to catch it, no one wants it, so it floats in such a large area."

"Whatever you want, if you finish the work of sorting these, it is fine to catch some and dry it. It must be that the work in hand is more important. It doesn't matter whether the kelp in the sea is caught or not, because it is not the time for kelp to grow now."

Kelp grows in low-temperature seawater. Above 20 degrees, kelp will not only not grow, but will rot, so January-April each year is the best season for kelp growth.

After Qingming Festival, the temperature begins to rise, which is a good season for kelp harvest.

Some on the ground are indeed a bit rotten, and it is also the season of maturity.

Wild kelp grows on rocks. Its roots are firmly attached to the rocks. It has grown for too long, and it will be easily hit down when it is a bit rotten. I don't know how long it has been floating.

Otherwise, it is also grown in areas with large currents, small waves, and heat generation. The faster the tide, the larger the kelp.

There are indeed kelp growing on the rocks of the islands near them. Last year, he and A-Qing got a large pile back to dry. If they really want to raise it, the surrounding sea area is also suitable for growth.

It is just that at first, he only thought about fishing. As for aquaculture, he didn't have that energy. However, seeing that everyone is so interested now, directly let the village cadres come forward to organize collective aquaculture, and he will collect it back, which can also drive the whole village to get rich.

The most critical thing is that the sea area near them is really suitable for aquaculture. His shop is also on the right track. What the village raises can really be eaten, and he is not worried about sales.

Let the rich lead the poor, individual wealth leads to collective wealth, everyone gets rich together, and responds to the policy.

It is just that now that it has not been cultivated and cultivated for generations, the yield and growth may not be comparable to the future, but it is done by man. As long as he takes the lead and can see a little effect, it is considered a success.

Professional things need professional people. As long as you can see a little effect, the village committee can find a way to make it bigger, and the official can also take the lead in inviting technical personnel to develop vigorously. This is not what he can operate.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the beginning can see the effect, the follow-up does not need him to worry.

Everyone was stunned when they heard that it was not the growth season of kelp, and asked one after another.

"Is kelp the most in these two months every year?"

"Yes, it won't grow when the temperature is high, so it matures, and it is hit into the sea by the waves. It is more suitable to clamp kelp in winter."

"We catch a lot now, can't the tender ones be taken back to raise?"

"Didn't you just say that you can take it back to raise?"

Ye Yaodong thought about what he just said. It seems that he has said it, "Just happened to see it, it was too smooth, so I said it can be raised back. It can be raised, but this temperature is easy to rot now. If you want to raise it well, you have to wait until winter. Now is the season of harvest, not the time to clamp seedlings."

Go to the nearby islands to pick seedlings in winter, and then use ropes to clamp them, and you can directly raise them on the nearby islands.

"Oh, then these can only be eaten."

"Dry it, the fishing net has been caught, don't want it for nothing, take a rope and hang it up, dry it on the sea for two days, and when the time comes, everyone will share it, and you can take it home to cook soup. Anyway, it won't be bad if you put it there."

"Then dry it."

"There are still quite a lot floating on the sea. I don't know which island around it fell off. Do you want to catch it?"

"Catch, just now it is not dinner time, everyone is in good spirits, divide two people to help catch it, and it will not delay the work on the boat."

"Then catch catch catch... wait until winter and let A-Dong teach how to plant..."

"Yes, vegetables grown in the ground can't be sold for much money. Is there anyone who wants the vegetables in the sea after drying?"

"Vegetables grown in the ground can also be sold for money. People in the city have no land. The vegetables they eat have to be bought with money. Who is like us in the countryside, vegetables are not valuable, and they can't finish eating them even if they grow them casually."

"Then this should also be wanted by someone..."

"Catch it first, catch it if you can reach it, and forget it if you can't reach it."

They talked lively, discussed and divided two people to catch it. Anyway, the speed of the fishing boat's progress is not fast.

Ye Yaodong also squatted in the corner of the pile of kelp to pick and choose. If the local area was rotten, he took scissors to cut it off. If the area was large, he threw it away. The old and tender ones were also picked out. The kelp now is not as big as later generations. The wild ones look particularly young.

To be honest, no one wants natural ones now, so who would think of aquaculture? The real lack of these is the inland mountainous areas, and it is not just the lack of these. The poor areas in the inland mountainous areas lack everything.

But with the brains of people now, where would they think so far? Everyone is just in their own one-third of an acre of land, and they have no knowledge. Less than 1/10 of the whole village has been to the county town. Few people will be avant-garde and want to engage in aquaculture. The things caught from the seabed can't be finished, and they have to be used to feed livestock.

Everyone is so confident in him, and they immediately believe that it can be sold for money when he says it can be sold for money, because they see that he sells dried fish so successfully and earns so much money.

Otherwise, who believes him?

Those fish goods that no one collects by the sea can be turned into treasure, and kelp must be fine.

Everyone picks and chooses, catches and catches, cooperates, and doesn't forget to chat and discuss a few words.

Ye Fu was also a bit puzzled in the cockpit when he saw them suddenly start to catch those kelps. What are they doing with that thing?

He didn't have time to ask, only when it was time to eat, Dongzi came to replace him, and he asked casually.

"Why are they picking so much kelp?"

"Hearing me say it can be sold for money, they rushed to catch it."

"Sell for money? What money can this sell? It is available in the sea when the season comes."

"Of course it is dried and sold for money. Dried fish are easy to sell, so there is no reason why kelp is not easy to sell."

In an era of material scarcity, everyone wants everything, especially things that don't need tickets, which are even more snatched.

He saw in his previous life that a large truck pulled a car of defective cloth, and as a result, the women of the whole village surrounded and snatched it, as if it didn't need money.

Ye Fu was suspicious, "Is there really someone who wants it? It floats on the sea, no one catches it, and there are people who are rare?"

"Why would no one want things that can be eaten? In how many places is the problem of food and clothing still waiting to be solved, or just recently solved? Here, our things are dirt cheap; things that no one wants here might be items that people would scramble for elsewhere. Otherwise, where would all those resellers and smugglers come from?"

"Can that be compared? Those people are reselling valuable things. Look at what you are tossing?"

"What I am tossing is serious seaside local specialties. People are breaking the law, but I am an honest man."

"This little bit, see how much money you can sell..."

"Who sold it? Those are dried and kept for eating. This little bit is not enough for me to sell. I will toss it when winter comes."

"So capable? And what can you do?"

"Look at it. When have you seen me say big words? Haven't I done what I said? Look at what I earn now."

Ye Fu couldn't refute. Many times it really proved that he was right, and maybe it is really possible to sell for money. It doesn't mean that no one wants it here, it doesn't mean that no one wants it elsewhere.

After handing the cockpit to him to watch, Ye Fu also went down to eat, and by the way, looked at the kelp hung up by the boat workers with ropes, like a curtain.

However, the kelp is not as big as the kind in the future, like a quilt. The width of the kelp is only 20 or 30 centimeters at most, and the variety has not been continuously improved, but the thickness is quite thick.

Afraid that hanging there would affect the line of sight, the boat workers hung it horizontally, hung it above the deck, afraid that hanging above the two sides of the boat would affect the cockpit's line of sight of the fishing boat surroundings.

"Old San, A-Dong said that this kelp can also be sold for money. He really knows a lot now."

"He has been to many places, and of course he is different from those who have seen the world. Who is like us, who can't walk out of the village in a lifetime, and when he goes far, he is floating on the sea where no one is."

"Indeed, the whole village has not been to more places than A-Dong, and has seen more people. He can still know the leaders, and he must know more than us."

"If this kelp is really sold, how much money can it sell?"

Everyone didn't have time to ask Ye Yaodong just now, and they all looked at Ye Fu curiously at this time.

"I don't know, his ideas are so right every day, and he knows more about the side doors and miscellaneous things than anyone else, and he also orders newspapers and reads newspapers every day, so he should know a little bit."

"Things that are sent around and no one wants, I didn't expect that when they go outside, they can all be sold for money."

"Dry it first. There are no ribs tonight. Cook kelp soup with shrimp. The taste is okay, quite fresh."

Ye Fu tasted two mouthfuls and felt that it was not the same thing?

Everyone heard that it could be sold for money, and felt that the taste of things was different?

He muttered, and didn't say anything.

After dinner, everyone continued to work in an orderly manner, and those who should rest also went to rest after nightfall.

For several consecutive days, it was calm, and the kelp hung on the boat was dried wave after wave.

After everyone knew that it could be sold for money, they worked very hard to catch it these days. All the kelp that could be reached was caught, and the kelp brought by the trawler was not thrown away again.

So that a large piece was dried and a large piece was hung up. For several days, the kelp on the deck never stopped.

When the sky was a bit gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain, everyone rolled it up and collected it all, and it accumulated three thick baskets. Each piece of kelp had white frost on it.

After the kelp is dried, there will be a layer of white powder on the surface. Many people think it is salt or ash, and will wash away this white powder when soaking, but in fact, it is a very precious medicinal substance called mannitol.

Do not mistake that layer of white frost for the precipitation of salt, or the phenomenon of mold and deterioration.

This is a good diuretic, has the effect of reducing swelling, and also has the effects of relieving alcohol, losing weight, and anti-cancer and antibacterial!

Everyone looked at the two large baskets of kelp rolls full of feet, and they were also full of smiles.

"I didn't expect that I could accumulate two large baskets by just catching it casually these days. If these are added together, can it be a hundred catties?"

"Enough to eat for a long time."

"It's not enough for us to eat for a year, so much."

"A-Dong, how much money can it sell if these are sold?"

Everyone had long wanted to ask.

Ye Yaodong was also asked, and he deliberated and said a conservative acquisition price, "How can dried ones be sold for seven or eight cents a catty? More than a hundred catties here should be able to sell for ten yuan?"

The fact is, he knows that in the late 80s, dried kelp was sold for 7 cents a catty outside, and the profits were superimposed layer by layer, and 1/10 must be there for the vegetable farmers in the end.

Everyone's eyes lit up. This is more expensive than many fish goods, and this is still what they caught casually when they passed by.

The sea area where they worked these two days had a lot of kelp, all floating from the nearby islands.

"That's quite valuable! And it can have seven or eight cents."

"Yes, this is still what everyone caught casually."

"If you can dig it back from the island to plant, can you also make money?"

"Reasonably, it is possible, but that has to wait until the second half of the year."

"Are you stupid? Why do you still have to dig it back to plant? Just let it grow on the island, and when it matures, everyone will go to dig and dry it, right?"

Ye Yaodong laughed, thinking quite beautifully.

"Growing naturally on the island, without management, how much grows is luck. Maybe it grows this year but not next year, or maybe it only grows a little bit next year. It is completely luck. If you raise it yourself, manage it well, the yield will definitely be higher."

"That's true..."

"Don't think so much, winter is the time to clamp kelp. These two baskets of kelp, wait until they are taken back, everyone will share them, one person will share ten or twenty catties, and neighbors or relatives will send one or two catties, which is not much."

"Okay okay okay... then share it after taking it back."

Ye Fu thought that maybe everyone would forget it when winter came. After all, it was a span of several months, and it was better for Dongzi not to toss it again.

He has a workshop and a shop in his hand, and a lot of fishing boats. He is too busy to be busy. If he tosses anything to raise kelp, he has to be like a spinning top. Who helps him?

The old man has no time, and he doesn't know anything.

"Lift it to the cabin first, cover it with cloth to prevent moisture. This day looks gloomy and feels like it is going to rain, don't dry it in vain. After lifting it in, prepare to lift the net. I will also tell the in-laws to go back early."

During the conversation, the sky that was originally cloudy became darker, and it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Yaodong also looked up at the dim sky, and it was very stuffy in the air, feeling like the tranquility before the storm.

"Don't set the net, go back first. The waves are hitting quite high. This day looks like it is not just going to rain, it feels like it is going to rain heavily. We ran too far. Originally, we expected to go back tomorrow, and drag the net while going back."

"That's fine, I will tell the in-laws, let's rush back first, and see how big the rain is later. If it is not big, set the net down; if it is too big, just go back with all strength and don't collect it."

"Hmm."

Everyone immediately went to their own busy work. Ye Yaodong also put on the coir raincoat by the way, and shouted for everyone to put it on first, in case of sudden heavy rain.

When the net mouth of the fishing net was just collected, bean-sized raindrops fell down, and they didn't need to decide for themselves at all. God helped them make the decision first.

After the bean-sized raindrops fell, it became exceptionally urgent, and suddenly it was a heavy rain, as if all the rainwater accumulated in the dark clouds were poured down at once.

Everyone collected the net in the heavy rain, and the thick rain curtain blurred everyone's vision. The sea waves also tumbled because of the urgent rain, and the fishing boat was also hit by the waves and swayed more.

When a boat worker was collecting the net, because he was leaning against the side of the boat, the swaying fishing boat made him stand unstable and fell on it. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong was watching the net collection on the side, and pulled him with quick eyes and quick hands, otherwise he would probably have fallen down.

It happened that the fish collection bag of the fishing net had just been hung up, and the fishing net was still in the water. If this person fell down, he would definitely be entangled by the fishing net in the water, and would be hit by the tumbling waves.

Ye Yaodong shouted in the rain, "Be careful..."

The boat worker's heartbeat also accelerated, patted his chest a few times, and stood far away.

No one knew what happened in the heavy rain, only the two of them knew that someone had just walked through the gate of hell.

Ye Yaodong also hurriedly shouted for others to be careful, don't get too close to the edge of the boat, just now it was to tighten the fish collection bag and hang it up, no way.

Everyone was alert, and the most afraid of accidents in the rainstorm.

Fortunately, it was also dangerous, and after the goods were collected, just squat on the deck and sort it, at most, the fishing boat swayed and fell a few times.

After the fishing net was collected, the fishing boat also accelerated to return. The Fengshou was a little slower, but after ten minutes, it also appeared behind their tail.

The heavy rain fell for two hours, and their fishing boat also drove at a slow speed in the wind and rain for two hours, and the rain gradually slowed down, became smaller, and the sky became brighter.

After the rain slowed down, Ye Fu wanted to set another net, working while driving to the city, and the time could be controlled just right to go ashore to sell goods at night.

If you speed up to the city now, you may have to arrive early and wait at the door for a long time.

Ye Yaodong looked at the smaller rain and had no opinion.

"After arriving at the city to sell goods, we will go back directly, and we will not go to sea."

"Okay, the weather looks not very good, it is good to go back early."

"This trip is not very good, it is not a pity to go back."

Ye Fu nodded.

This trip was rare, only stayed for four or five days and went back, but when he returned to the village, the ground was dry, and there was no trace of rain.

Distance is one thing, and the sky is unpredictable is another.

This trip they still didn't dry fish, and what could be sold was sold in the city in one breath. They were also worried that the sudden rain would be too tossing, and they all took it to ferment.

It is worth mentioning that just after arriving home, A-Qing said that those fish sauces fermented from the end of last year have basically been pulled to the city, and various small shops have also replenished a batch of goods in the past few days.

There is not a drop left in the warehouse at home, and the existing ones are fermented after the year.

And pulling those fish sauces to the city can only support more than a month, and it is estimated that it will be broken.

And the fermented after the year, it will take two months to be packaged. The city can barely wait for the new delivery of fermented packaging, and the small shop is equivalent to having a one-month window period.

Being able to sell out within half a year is also something Ye Yaodong didn't expect, and the speed is quite fast.

A-Qing also recorded each batch of fish sauce transported away separately, but in the city, she could only record the number of empty vats pulled back each time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't sell so fast. Most of them were pulled to the city for storage, and her father could record the accounts sold on the same day, which was already good. Fish sauce is sold in zero, and her father couldn't record it separately.

As for having a window period, A-Qing also told him when he went home. In the past two days, she told the little brother who delivered the goods to tell various shops that there is no goods next month, and then connect again the month after next.

"Just say hello, so that people don't think we are untrustworthy, selling for half a year and not selling."

Lin Xiuqing said happily: "I thought it would take a whole year to sell out, but I didn't expect it to be sold out in less than half a year, and I was worried that it wouldn't connect."

"That's because when they delivered the goods, they occasionally shouted a few times on the street, and saw that the small shop asked again, and slowly there were more small shops for consignment, and they sold fast."

"Hmm, I also calculated the account. Those 30 tons of goods, deducting the deposit cost of the large vats recovered, also earned us more than 6,500 yuan. That is to say, only half a year, we almost returned the cost. I didn't expect that those small fish sauces, sold so cheaply, could also return the cost so quickly. I originally thought that buying land and building walls cost so much money, and it might not be returned this year."

"That's because it sells fast. If it sells until the end of the year, it's the same waiting for the end of the year to return the cost."

"Yes, it sells fast. Calculated, it is at most a few hundred yuan short of returning the cost. These are probably those miscellaneous raw materials. Anyway, the oil money is on the total expenditure every month."

"Now it is just earning back the investment last year, don't be in a hurry to be happy. We fermented more in the first half of this year, and the miscellaneous goods left by the two boats are more than 5 times that of last year. The thousands of yuan earned in the first half of the year have to be invested in more than half, ordering larger water vats for outdoor fermentation. Only in the second half of the year can we really start to make money."

"Yes yes yes." Lin Xiuqing nodded repeatedly. ===== CHAPTER 1068 =====
