Chapter 1169: Arrangements in the City

Ye Xiaoxi climbed up from the ground using both hands and feet, then lifted both feet back and forth to show him.

"Is it good-looking? It's so comfortable~"

"Don't look at what kind of weather it is, such a big sun, you'll get heat rash."

She shook her head and giggled, "Lalalala~ go play~"

Lin Xiuqing watched helplessly and could only let her be, "Anyway, she'll know to take them off when she's hot. The one being laughed at will also be her."

"I'm leaving first."

"Come back early."

Ye Yaodong nodded and walked toward the tractor at the door with big strides. Those lighters had already been moved onto the car, along with the dried fish that had been collected yesterday, which had also been moved onto the car early.

As long as there was space on the car, it couldn't be wasted. Anyway, there were three shops in the city that could be used as warehouses.

Currently, he only operated one shop himself, which was the most prosperous one. One was rented out, one was used as a fish sauce warehouse, and the other two were used to stack dried fish.

However, over the past few months of going to Zhejiang Province to fish, they hadn't dried fish for more than three months, and the inventory in the city was almost urgent. Both warehouses were almost empty. The batch dried in these two days was just right to be transported over to replenish them.

Next, the weather would also turn cool. It just so happened that the Dongsheng had returned, so he had to go out to sea with the Fengshou to catch a lot, and prepare a lot of goods for bulk drying. Autumn and winter were the most suitable for drying dried fish.

"Brother Dong, you're really awesome, too amazing... earning money wherever you go..."

"Brother Dong, these two trips to Zhejiang, no one is as glorious and earns as much as you... Even people in our village know you have many boats now, and are a big boss. My father even said I was lucky..."

"Last month, the matter that happened in our village and Dongqiao Village was huge. Fortunately, you were smart. They all suffered heavy losses. Going on a trip and ending up in jail was one thing, but at least they earned money, but they bought a boat and lost it all..."

"Brother Dong, I heard you even bought a house in Zhejiang, and now you're an official over there. Is there a little sister-in-law..."

Ye Yaodong was driving the tractor, and Wang Guangliang's babbling voice kept coming into his ears. He just responded casually. Anyway, it was boring on the road, he loved to talk, and he could listen to more information about the village recently.

He slept early last night and didn't chat in detail with Aqing. It was just right to listen to this kid talk about the trends in the village, but he couldn't hold it when he heard about the little sister-in-law.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the little sister-in-law come from? I went out to earn money, not to find a woman."

"Hehe, everyone talks privately, you go out for a month or two, there's always a time when you can't hold it. You're handsome and rich, walking on the street, big girls and little wives all have to turn their heads to stare at you, so you bought a house, and settled a home over there, convenient for going over every year..."

"Fart, is it spreading like this in the village?"

"Not really, just a few people chatting, saying you bought a house, so they thought about whether you settled a home over there, found a little wife and gave birth to a few more, anyway it's in another place, no one knows whether you're married or not..."

"Don't spread things that shouldn't be spread. It changes as it spreads. Don't talk about it next time."

Wang Guangliang patted his mouth, "Understand, I know, this kind of thing can't be talked about. It was only because it was just the two of us now that I took it out to ask."

"Ask a fart, you know a shit, there's no such thing, don't spread things that don't exist. Am I sick? To find a green hat for myself, really wrapping a woman outside, staying over there for two or three months a year, it would be strange if she didn't give me a green hat to wear. I'd have to eat shit to give money to others to spend."

"And I'm floating on the sea all day, where do I have time to go out and find a woman? When I come back, I wish I could fall down and sleep."

"Besides, every time I go out, I take at least a dozen people. A pile of men mixed with a woman, what does it look like? By then, everyone's eyes would be glowing green like hungry wolves."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him warningly again, "When you go back, you guys shut your mouths, don't spread this blindly, this kind of thing can be spread as true even if it's fake."

Lace news is popular everywhere. In an era of lack of entertainment, everyone likes to listen to the long and short of the east and west, especially those with color and lace. Things that don't exist, as long as a little sign is spread, can be described vividly and with nose and eyes.

He now has old people above and young people below, a happy family, complete personnel, naughty sons, cute daughters, and a virtuous wife. He is quite satisfied.

In terms of spiritual pursuit, he is already satisfied. In terms of material, he has to wait for the development of the era.

Seeing his serious face, Wang Guangliang also nodded hurriedly.

"I'll tell them when I go back, let them not talk nonsense, don't guess blindly."

"Brother Dong, is this Chairman Ye permanent? You're not over there, won't they directly dismiss you?"

"Not now, don't know later, let's talk about it later."

"Then if dismissed, that would be too regrettable, right? At least it's an official position?"

"Crow's mouth, can you speak? Can't you say something good? Just became the vice chairman, and you're hoping I'll be dismissed?"

"No... no, I'm just worried for you."

"Worried for me, then if you go to Zhejiang in a while, you run a trip with me."

Wang Guangliang was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Still going? The weather is cool..."

"Not sure, let's talk about it later."

Ye Yaodong had some ideas in his heart, but now it was still something that didn't exist. At least he had to handle some affairs at home, and sell the lighters first.

"Brother Dong, are you really going in a while?" Wang Guangliang had a suspicious look on his face.

Running so diligently, it's hard not to make people think about whether he raised a little wife outside. After all, he bought a house.

"Shut your mouth, if you talk nonsense again, I'll take you over and throw you there."

This time it was quiet.

After Ye Yaodong drove the tractor all the way to the city, he discovered that the empty land he bought had changed completely.

That empty land was originally diagonally opposite the market, with only a big road in between. He drove the tractor over and saw it at a glance.

Originally there were some soil slopes, waist-high grass, and a large pile of domestic garbage. Now it was all organized, and looking over, it was a flat piece of land, with most of it showing yellow mud.

And at the edge of this piece of land, some small bamboo pieces were inserted, and a rope was tied on the bamboo pieces, circling the range of this piece of land.

At this time, it was noon, and no one was seen. He drove the tractor and wandered around the edge of the empty land first, and then drove it to the entrance of the market with satisfaction.

"Brother Dong, we come over to deliver goods every three days, and we also saw this piece of land being organized bit by bit. Now the ditch has been dug, and the stones are almost filled. Once the stones are filled, we can use bricks to build walls."

"If it weren't for the intermittent influence of typhoons and rain in these two or three months, it would have been finished long ago."

Ye Yaodong retracted his gaze and just hummed.

At noon, Lin Fu was also eating in Lin Xiang Hui's shop. He was surprised to see him back, and the three siblings, Lin Guangyuan, had already called him with joy.

Ye Yaodong explained that he had just returned yesterday, and because he brought a batch of lighters back, he couldn't wait to come over today.

He also explained how to sell the lighters to Lin Fu, and also touched one for him and Lin Xiang Hui.

Lin Guangyuan was looking at the lighter with hot eyes on the side, staring straight at it.

Ye Yaodong knew that this kid had already secretly learned to smoke, but he definitely couldn't give it to him, lest he think he was encouraging smoking.

And the father and son were full of joy after taking the lighter.

"We've seen others use this. It's said to be quite expensive. Is it only selling for 10 yuan?"

"I heard people say that the cheapest one bought costs several tens of yuan. You're only selling for 10 yuan?"

"I smoke water pipes, this lighter is not very useful to me, it's a waste. You'd better keep it to sell. It's more convenient for me to use matches to smoke water pipes." Lin Fu reluctantly put it back in front of him.

"Keep it, it's fine as a souvenir. I brought 2,000 back, how can I be short of these two for you? Relatives and friends at home also gave some."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and also told him, "If someone wants to wholesale, it's 8 yuan, but at least 20 or more must be wholesaled. Retail is 10 yuan."

"Good, I know."

This side is a wholesale market. Letting people wholesale a little bit, small vendors casually wholesale a few, and they can earn a few yuan after turning around, which is also easy to earn.

Everything is most afraid of comparison. This thing will feel expensive when placed in ordinary households, but as long as it is compared with the Friendship Store, everyone will feel it is cheap, and the tendency to purchase will greatly increase, and he can also sell it faster.

He came suddenly at noon, and Lin's eldest daughter-in-law didn't cook much of his meal. At this time, she had already got up and went to the pot to cook noodles for them.

Anyway, every time they came over, they were eating and drinking here, and even Lin Fu and Lin Mu were eating and drinking here every day.

Ye Yaodong chatted with them while eating about the situation over there for more than a month, and they also told him about the situation of his 13 mu of land on the side, and that Lin Xiang Hui's house had almost been built, with high efficiency.

After the meal, they drove the tractor to the shop door on the other side to unload the goods.

Looking at the warehouse that was almost bottoming out, he also smiled until he saw his teeth. No goods meant they had already been turned into cash.

During the Chinese New Year this year, he specially hoarded 20,000 to 30,000 jin more. Lin Jishang produced 10,000 jin, and he himself had more than 10,000 jin on hand. Plus, he kept hoarding goods one after another later. He didn't expect that in just two months without drying, they would bottom out.

Selling fast, he thought it could last until the New Year. Fortunately, it's autumn, and he has to dry a large batch. The ones dried are new goods, which can be continued, and can also be saved until next year.

After moving the goods, it wasn't time for the work of the empty land in front yet. Ye Yaodong drove the tractor dada-dada to find Director Chen.

This trip, he also brought some jellyfish products, as well as local specialties and two lighters.

When he arrived, Director Chen had just woken up from his nap and was preparing to go to work. He just happened to meet him and had to turn back upstairs.

Ye Yaodong was afraid of delaying his work, so he put the things down casually, and then followed Director Chen out.

"Coming over every day catches the meal time. Those who don't know would think I ran to your house specifically to eat and drink, hehe, also a bit embarrassed. It takes so much time to set off from home early in the morning to here. I specifically ate before coming over at noon, fortunately it didn't delay you from going to work."

"What's this? You brought your own dishes, what's wrong with eating a meal at my house? Too polite, just come to the door next time. Was this trip smooth?"

"Smooth. I also happened to become the vice chairman of the Fisheries Association over there. I was very glorious when I returned to the village. I returned yesterday evening, and heard that it spread throughout the village last night. I reckon the whole area knows it today."

He patted his thigh, "It's a pity, I was exhausted when I returned yesterday, I slept early after eating, and hurried to the city today, I didn't go to the village to stroll around, listen to how people flatter me, and call me Chairman Ye."

Director Chen was amused by him, but also curiously asked him, "What is the Fisheries Association? What is the origin of this vice chairman?"

He looked at the big sun outside, and then looked at the bicycle Director Chen was pushing in his hand. He himself was parked with a tractor on the side, thought for a while and said.

"Why don't you put the bicycle in the car bucket of my tractor, and I'll drive the tractor to send you to the Ocean Bureau to work? Save being late, and by the way, tell you about the origin of this Fisheries Association on the road, and how I became it?"

"Fine, it can also be a bit faster."

Ye Yaodong helped him put the bicycle on the tractor, let him sit on the car head, and told him while driving slowly.

As a result, when he arrived at the entrance of the Ocean Bureau, Director Chen also had thoughts in his heart.

"You said that even Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province has established a Fisheries Association. Should we also establish one here, to facilitate management? We are also relying on the sea here, and also belong to the southeast coast, and also have a fishing season. In the past, there were no fewer accidents, so we really have to strengthen maritime management, so as not to wait until an accident happens, then it will be too late."

"Indeed, it is already too late to think about it after an accident happens, and a tragedy is caused. The things that happened in those two months over there are also a lesson from the past. I returned to the village and heard that because of the gunfight over there, the two villages on our side and the town over there fought. The ending was quite tragic, and neither side took advantage."

Director Chen stood at the door, thinking, frowning tightly, and didn't enter immediately.

Ye Yaodong said again, "I think we can really imitate it. After all, organizing a social group to help participate in supervision is also quite good, and it doesn't necessarily manage the sea. It can also help implement policies on land and promote the development of our fisheries."

"The wholesale market in our city belongs to fishery and aquatic products. Establishing a social group-type association will definitely be able to unite our fishermen to a certain extent, give more support policies, and also make our side develop better."

Director Chen nodded, "Makes sense, we can't fall behind others. I'll think about it later."

"Hey, alright, you hurry in to work, it's time, I won't disturb you, come over when you have time."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong stood in place for a while, waited for someone to push the bicycle in, and then got on the tractor.

Wang Guangliang leaned to his side, "Brother Dong, if a Fisheries Association is also established in the city, won't you also be invited to be the vice chairman?"

"You know this too?"

"Are you planning this?"

"Still quite smart, not stupid."

Wang Guangliang's eyes widened, "Oh my mother? Really? Are you planning to come to the city to be the vice chairman again?"

"The establishment of this Fisheries Association is also inevitable. It has to be established sooner or later. Then it's better for me to say a few more words, establish it early, and see if I can mix another position by then."

Although it is not a real official, it is a social group position, which is also a social status and an honor. The name sounds quite capable of bluffing people.

In the city here, he has shops, land, and houses, and has to come over every three days. It is quite necessary to mix a position.

For ordinary people, sesame and mung bean officials can crush people to death. This kind of social group position can also frequently contact local officials. Once familiar, officials also have to give face.

He has now opened his stall, and still has to mix some social positions, so that he can also obtain some connections by the way, mix some familiarity, and things will be easy to handle in the future.

It was also because the position of Chairman Ye was mentioned over there that he thought that their family could also have a Fisheries Association here.

These of theirs are considered local. By then, there will also be a National Fisheries Association.

Maybe he can also mix a People's Representative.

There is only one proposal, the beginning hasn't come out yet, and he has already thought about all the glory he can have in the future.

Wang Guangliang has already given a thumbs up, "High, Brother Dong is still amazing, walk one step and think ten steps, this can mix another Chairman Ye again soon."

"Hard to say, keep your mouth shut, don't spread things that don't exist first, otherwise if it spreads and everyone takes it seriously, it will be embarrassing if there is no share for me by then."

"Hehe, then Chairman Ye is still Chairman Ye."

"You drive the tractor, drive it back to the wholesale market. I reckon my ten-something mu of land is already working now. Go over and take a look, and go back later."

"Good."

Not even two minutes later, Wang Guangliang was hesitant again, "Brother Dong, can I buy a lighter from you?"

"Of course, I brought this back to sell for money..."

"No, no, I mean, can I owe one first? Wait until I get paid in a few days, and let Third Sister-in-law deduct the money for the lighter directly? Hehe..."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Swollen face and pretending to be fat? Where did the wages you get every month go, and you still need to owe? Count it as 8 yuan, go to the shop and take one later."

"Good, thank you Brother Dong. The wages I've received for more than a year were either for buying a bicycle for the family, or buying a TV, and I borrowed some for my brother to marry a wife. Now I really have no money."

"You are quite generous? Added all the big items for the family?"

"Hehe, almost all added. My mother said, wait until I marry a wife and divide the family, then move them over. The things I bought are still mine. Now the family has these things, the whole family has light on their faces, and it's easy for the brothers to talk about wives."

"That's true. Having those things makes the whole family glorious, and the whole family enjoys it. Wait until a few years later when there are new ones, when you have your own family, buy new ones if you have conditions. The old items can also be used to honor parents."

"So I bought it willingly. Anyway, following Brother Dong won't be bad. But I really have to save money, can't stick to the family anymore."

"Mm, should be. Which young person doesn't leave some money on hand. I also left 20 at home. I'll take 30 back later. Leave a little at home. I reckon people from other villages will also come to the door to buy. Anyway, ours in the village are 8 yuan."

"Good, I know."

Originally it was left to give to people. Thinking about it this way, there will also be people coming to the door to want it.

In these few years, everyone has more money on hand. TVs in the village are one after another. Men will be quite willing to buy one to pretend to be forced for a few yuan lighter.

The two were chatting and returned to the wholesale market.

Ye Yaodong also saw the workers busy working on the empty land he circled.

After the tractor stopped, he jumped down first.

Wang Jianxin also ran over.

Although there were quite a few tractors, trucks, and cargo trucks coming and going around the market, there were none parked on the side of the empty land.

"Boss, you're back!"

"Mm, how is it going?"

"I'm watching. I come over to supervise every day at the time. No one dares to be lazy or grind work," he took the notebook and pen in his hand to show Ye Yaodong, "I'm recording attendance. Uncle and Old Brother sometimes come over to take a look at the time."

Ye Yaodong knew the Uncle and Old Brother he was talking about were his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

He took the notebook and flipped through it. Each page had a date, and under the date was a name.

The names every day were almost the same. Occasionally one or two were missing due to things or had heatstroke and asked for leave. After all, working in the sun in the hot weather, heatstroke was inevitable.

When he flipped to the page at the end of last month, he saw a monetary expenditure. Wang Jianxin also explained it, because it had been a month, so he had to pay everyone a wage; otherwise, everyone would have opinions.

"Paid from my father-in-law's side, right?"

"Yes, one worker is 2 yuan a day, the master is 4 yuan. Boss, check it, it can match."

"Mm, you've also worked hard, being exposed to the sun in the hot weather. I'll give you a little more wages at the end of this month."

Wang Jianxin's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Boss. I will definitely work hard, record attendance well, supervise them, and not let them grind work."

Although his wages couldn't compare to these workers, he didn't have to work either. He just had to come over to count the number of people every day, and then find a cool place to sit down and watch them work, and not let them grind work.

Easily mixing days, more comfortable than shouting and selling popsicles on the street all day.

Now the weather is gradually turning cool, and popsicles are not easy to sell, but this job can still be done. At least it can be done for another two or three months, which is not a problem. As long as he works hard, such a big factory always needs manpower.

After reading the attendance book, Ye Yaodong also turned around his construction site, saw that the foundation was filled with stones, and bricks could be transported over to build the house immediately, so he explained this to Wang Jianxin.

He was not afraid of this kid having crooked thoughts.

How many bricks are needed, also need to ask for the quantity in advance, transport them over car by car, he will naturally let his brother-in-law watch it. After all, he is also building a house on the side. If he is short of materials here, let his brother-in-law send some over, and let Wang Jianxin record the accounts by the way.

And he, without any accidents, will also stay at home and go out to sea, and will come to the city frequently, and can also come over to take a look every three days.

After looking at his construction site, he also looked at the progress of his brother-in-law's house. He wanted to drink his brother-in-law's housewarming wine in not long.

He returned to the shop to sit and rest for a while. He had been running back and forth since going out in the morning, which was also quite tired, and by the way, calculated the accounts for this period with his father-in-law.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, his father-in-law and brother-in-law both went back to their hometown to spend the festival. They went back by his tractor, and by the way, the accounts for the month and the profit money were given to Aqing.

However, the Mid-Autumn Festival was almost a month ago. The accounts for this month calculated to 8,300 yuan, of which 2,000 jin per month was stable from the troops, all of which were various dried fish and dry goods.

This number is small relative to the volume of the troops, but it is impossible for people to eat dried fish every day, which is only considered a fixed small amount of procurement.

As for Zhou Laoban, he often wants thousands of jin, and often has none, which is not fixed. The quantity wholesaled out of the shop every month is also not fixed, with more and less. This month is considered quite good.

When his father-in-law calculated the money for him, he also urged him again and again, telling him to dry more goods; otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to sell. Even the cuttlefish dried fish he hoarded during the fishing season earlier had long been sold out.

Originally, he wanted to hoard a little more, put it there and sell it slowly until the New Year. The price is relatively high, which is when everyone is more willing to buy when visiting relatives during the New Year.

As a result, all of them were swept away by Zhou Laoban early last month. I heard that it was to catch up with a batch of goods before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he wanted high-quality good things.

There were not many goods to sell, and his father-in-law was more anxious than him. No one knew the profit of the shop better than his father-in-law.

"Oh, didn't explain earlier, otherwise, I could have bought a batch of goods before the market closed and brought them back for you on the way. Now it's a pity to go back empty."

Ye Yaodong put away the payment, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I'm back. It won't take many days to go out to sea. When the time comes, there will be more goods. If it's not enough, let people collect a batch at the nearby pier and send it over, and dry it while the weather is good these few days."

"That's fine, then you go back early, go back now, and you can reach home at dark. If you delay further, it will be dark on the road."

"Mm."

More than 8,000 yuan was entered into the account again. He didn't know how much was sold last month, and didn't chat in detail with Aqing yesterday.

"Please help take care of the construction site and the shop here, Dad and Brother."

"Will do, anyway it's on the side, it's also on the way to take a look occasionally. Have you decided how to build it? Say it in advance, so I can have a number in my heart."

"Surround the outer wall first, surround it two meters high first. By then, go to the glass factory to pull a car of broken glass like my courtyard, and sprinkle it on top. Then build a two-story house on the empty land inside, build a warehouse one mu wide first, and plan the rest later."

"That's fine, it's hard to say later, anyway, definitely have to build the warehouse first, move the goods in the shop to the warehouse for storage, and the shop can be vacated to rent."

Ye Yaodong nodded. Actually, he thought about storing dried fish and fish sauce separately.

However, his volume is not that big now, so build a big warehouse first, and then store them on both sides by then.

His filling equipment hasn't been bought yet. Once bought, it must be installed in the workshop at home. After packaging, it will be transported to the warehouse in the city for storage. The city here has traffic in all directions, which is more suitable for storage, and convenient for loading and unloading transportation.

And the goods at home are fermenting there, so it is more convenient to fill at home. Anyway, he has a tractor, and transportation back and forth is not a problem.

"Then I'll go back first. Dad, look at the sales situation of the lighters for these two days, and make a phone call to say it. I just came back, and there are many things. There is no possibility of running back and forth every day these two days."

"I know, I'll make a call to you after selling for two days." ===== CHAPTER 1170 =====
