Chapter 1192: Semi-Automatic Filling Machine

Ye Yaodong accompanied Ye Xiaoxi to play for a while, watching Lin Xiuqing sitting there basking in the sun knitting a sweater, without even lifting her butt, and she didn't move when he told her to tidy up the workshop. He had no choice but to stand up and go see for himself.

It was really urgent.

At that time, a row of rooms was built on the side of the fish sauce workshop, intending to be a warehouse, and by the way, to store wooden barrels for fermentation. Finally, he went to check, and there was space, but he felt it probably wasn't enough.

Because some time ago he asked Ah Qing to order more containers, they would probably be delivered one after another soon, and these also needed a place to be stored.

He stood at the door and thought for a while, planning to build another row, along the corner of the wall. Although the open space is now full of large water vats, they are also regular, all neatly arranged in a row around the corner of the wall, so the other corner of the wall is still empty.

However, this venue of his is indeed not enough now.

He pondered that after the walls of the open space in the city are built, maybe he will directly move the drying work to the city. Anyway, dried goods also need to be sold in the market.

And before their fishing boats return, they must sell the goods first, and all have to go ashore in the city. When the time comes, they can also do the miscellaneous goods in the city together, and slaughter and dry them in the city.

Then transfer two or three of the younger brothers at home to guard the workshop there.

That land has been bought, and the walls have been surrounded. It's a waste not to use such a large open space. The land at home is indeed too small.

Counting it up, it shouldn't take long. The walls there should be built. It's already December.

Before returning last time, he also saw that the walls were almost built, just missing the ground mixed with yellow mud and sand, and poured flat, so as not to have wild grass growing every few days.

After he finished pondering and went back, he talked to Lin Xiuqing.

"So anxious, I thought what you were doing."

"Isn't it because I saw you didn't move for a long time? Then I'll go myself."

"I wasn't thinking that your machine wouldn't be back immediately? Thinking that after I finish knitting the last little bit of thread on hand, I'll go see for you. There isn't much left, at most knit two more rows, if you want to continue building the wall, then do it."

"Yeah, then when eating lunch at noon, let Father call the workers. If the machine comes back, put it in other rooms first."

She nodded, having no opinion. Building a few more rooms won't cost much money.

Now tens of thousands of yuan are taken out to partner to buy goods and machines, she doesn't feel distressed about a few thousand anymore. If he wants to toss, let him toss.

Ye Yaodong rested at home for two or three days, watching the workshop move again, and helped for two days.

As a result, Ahai told him again that his boat in the factory was almost ready. When the boat partnered by their three brothers could be delivered, their small boats could also be delivered two at the same time.

One big and two small, three boats, can be brought back together when the time comes.

This can also be considered a good thing. Originally, 7 boats were ordered, and 4 have been delivered one after another. If two more are delivered, only the last one is left, and it should be done by the end of the year.

If all these small boats for trawling are in hand, counting them up, there are a total of 17.

At the beginning, one second-hand boat was bought, later one was robbed from the pirates of Luzhoudao, and Chen Bureau helped him get one cheaply.

Later, because 110,000 jin of plum fish were sold, pirates from the city were attracted. He fought the pirates and the Harvest boat divided one each, then the shipyard ordered 7, and Zhejiang Province bought 6, totaling 17.

Now the boat partnered by their three brothers can be in hand again, and the miscellaneous goods they catch can be much more.

The big boat partnered by Zhou Da and the others next door is probably about the same time as them. When the time comes, they can also pull them into the circle and collect their miscellaneous goods.

Ye Yaodong envisioned it very well. The production can't go up because the fermentation time is long, and also because there are too few miscellaneous goods. If there are many goods, the amount of fermentation at one time is larger, and the output can be larger when the time comes.

Or when the time comes, you can also directly arrange for people to collect miscellaneous goods at the city pier. Anyway, pouring into the sea is pouring. It's better to give it to him, and it can be exchanged for some money.

His machine will be in hand soon. When the time comes, it can definitely be mass-produced in bags, 24 hours a day without interruption. According to the amount he ferments now, he won't be able to work for long before he has to stop.

Now increasing production is also his top priority.

Thinking of this layer, he greeted Lin Xiuqing the next day and simply rode his motorcycle to the city pier to squat.

These two days the weather has also been overcast and blowing cold wind, just letting him rest at home and ponder these miscellaneous things.

He didn't do anything all day, just sat on the motorcycle, watching fishing boats coming and going at the pier, and tractors coming and going to pull goods.

By the way, when his brother-in-law was free and the tractor was parked at the pier waiting to pull goods, he chatted to see how many fishing boats docked that day and how much money could be earned by pulling goods a day.

He was investigating the market.

After all, they have a seafood wholesale market in the city, and most of the surrounding fishing boats like to dock in the city. Trading directly in the wholesale market is easier than trading elsewhere, and some small piers can't eat it if there are too many goods.

The most important thing is that the wholesale market price is transparent and fairer.

He watched for a whole day, and watched the pier be lively for a whole day. Fishing boats docked at any time, but the most were at night and early morning, because it was the time when the morning market opened.

There were also fishing boats docking during the day. These were small boats that returned on the same day. Those goods could be sold directly to the pier without pulling to the market.

The amount was too small, and they had to give the market a commission. It was better to sell to the pier at a slightly lower price, which was more trouble-free. Otherwise, in the case of not many goods, it was more troublesome to pull goods to the market.

Ye Yaodong watched for a whole day, lived in the city for one night, and after checking the progress of the construction site, went back the next day.

Then he went to discuss with Lin Xiuqing again.

"I plan to send Wang Guangliang to the city pier to collect miscellaneous fish that no one wants, regardless of size, at a unified price of a few cents, and then collect them back home for fermentation."

"The family's boats haven't been in hand yet, I'm afraid production can't keep up, collect a little more, fermentation also takes time, I estimate that in the future, we must collect for a long time and ferment for a long time to keep up with production."

Lin Xiuqing had chatted with him these two days and knew this idea of his, but didn't expect him to be a person of action, and it would be put on the agenda so quickly.

"Is it so anxious? I'm afraid the containers are not enough."

"Didn't you ask someone to order them a few months ago? They should be delivered one after another soon, right? And the containers that were fermented and vacated one after another should still be there, use them first."

"That's fine, whatever you say, just do it."

Anyway, not worried about selling, he now firmly believes that after the machine arrives, his own goods are not enough for production, so it is also possible to increase the intensity of fermentation in advance.

The wooden barrels they ferment now are constantly upgrading and constantly increasing, and even the carpenter is forced to have superb technology.

Now a wooden barrel can hold ten tons, and the goods are poured in for fermentation, and you have to build a ladder to climb to the top of the wooden barrel, and people have to climb in to spread salt.

Actually, the simplest and most money-saving method is to dig a few pits on the ground and smooth the four sides and the bottom with cement, which can also be fermented directly.

It's just that this method is too unhygienic and looks too dirty. Ye Yaodong, who has come over again, is still a bit fastidious.

When there was no money, he used wooden barrels and large vats. Now that he has some money on hand, he is willing to spend money to make it clean and hygienic.

Anyway, the villagers see it in their eyes and can accumulate a reputation. Otherwise, when they become famous in the future, they will all be black materials if they are turned over.

"However, this is not so anxious for a while."

"Not anxious anymore? Just now I saw you anxious, I thought you were going to send people tomorrow."

"That's not so anxious, and there must be boats to transport those miscellaneous goods. After the two new boats from the shipyard are delivered, keep one on hand and let people come back to transport miscellaneous goods. Just happened to have someone collecting goods at the pier, and someone driving the boat back. If there are not enough people, recruit a few more people in the village to move goods, which can also improve the village's employment rate."

"Okay, you start arranging."

Ye Yaodong pondered for a while, feeling that there would be no problem, so he decided for the time being, and then took advantage of the free time to find Wang Guangliang and talk about it.

Everything Wang Guangliang has now is given by him. How could he say no? Whatever he is told to do, he does it, patting his chest to guarantee that he can take office at any time.

Originally, he thought the machine would arrive in about a week, so he planned to wait at home for a few days because of the bad weather, who knew there was no news for three days.

Just happened to encounter good weather again. Just when Pei's father came to call them to go out to sea at night, he was thinking about whether to go out to sea at night, and the old man watching the door of the village committee ran out and told him there was his phone call.

He was immediately pleasantly surprised, and ran excitedly.

Sure enough, it didn't live up to his expectations. It was Ye Yaohai who called, saying that the goods he wanted had arrived, and asked him to find time to move them in these two days.

He immediately agreed, and when he went home, he let Lin Xiuqing count the money, let her prepare 10,000 yuan, and besides paying for the machine, he also had to reserve packaging bags.

The next day, he took a boat of boat workers and drove the Dongsheng to run to the provincial capital.

The semi-automatic filling machine was placed in the small shop at Ye Yaohai's pier. He saw it as soon as he went ashore and entered the shop.

The machine wasn't very big, just four or five square meters, but compared to that kind of simple half-human-high one later, it was considered quite big.

Although what he wanted was a filling machine, it actually brought a sealing machine, which could automatically seal.

However, the technology is not good now. Anyway, he just wanted one that could be used. Everything has to be done slowly, and technology also needs to progress slowly.

"Old brother, you are still powerful, you got this for me, hard work, hard work."

"What does this count as? If you go to the provincial capital to inquire for a few more days, you can also ask, it's just that it will be more expensive."

"It's terrible to be a little more expensive. You know I'm poor. I'd rather spend more time waiting. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

"Heh, you are President Ye, you are poor, my ass."

"This President Ye can't be eaten as a meal."

"That's hard to say. Come on, verify the goods first."

"This kind of brand new and shiny, it looks reliable at first glance, but you have to teach me how to use it. Let's go to the factory to get some plastic bag samples first, so it's good to test."

"That's right, then go to that packaging bag factory first, take two bags and test them first. As for how to use it, I don't know either. There is only one instruction manual, you study it yourself."

After Ye Yaohai finished speaking, he also handed him a thin instruction manual.

Ye Yaodong took the instruction manual, turned it in a direction, and then looked at him with surprise.

Ye Yaohai was also a bit embarrassed, "Cough, cough, you study, study, I can't understand."

"Are you thinking I can understand? If I could understand, could I still be fishing here? I would have gone directly to Tsinghua or Peking University. I just graduated from the literacy class, big brother."

"Keep your voice down, graduating from the literacy class is not a glorious thing, and you shout so loudly."

"Then how is it better than an illiterate, it's also a foundation."

Ye Yaodong flipped through it casually, all of them were tadpoles, his head was big, he hadn't fully learned Chinese characters yet, could he still recognize this?

"Can you help me study?"

"Cough, I didn't graduate from elementary school either, you look again, aren't there pictures on it?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him, "Unreliable."

"Let's go get the packaging bags first, only after taking them can we study how to pack, everyone study together, if it really doesn't work, go to the machine factory to ask a master, spend some money to invite someone to help me look."

"Okay."

The two sat on the tractor and went straight to the machine factory, greeted, took a few packaging bags without identification as samples, and rushed back to the pier without stopping.

After having packaging bags, they could be used for testing. Liquid can be replaced by water first.

The power supply in his small shop is ready-made, and this is not a high power, the power is plugged in and the button lights up.

"There is a handle here, it should be used to control the start and stop... this is semi-automatic..."

"This mouth like a funnel, the exit is here, it should be to put the container here..."

Ye Yaodong looked at a pile of English on the machine, and referred to a pile of English on the instruction manual. He learned the pictures, but didn't learn the English.

"This seems to need to adjust settings, adjust parameters, filling amount and filling speed..."

Several heads were whispering, an instruction manual was passed to a dozen people, and they didn't make up a recognizable English word.

"I only recognize the 123 above..."

"Who isn't?"

"I also recognize the ABC above..."

"That's called ABCD..."

"Still you have culture..."

"There is still some foreign ink at home..."

Ye Yaohai patted them one by one, "Don't be poor, forget it, let's invite a master to come and look."

Ye Yaodong looked straight at him.

"Okay, I'll go, who let me get this thing for you, no matter what, I have to figure it out for you."

He immediately smiled easily, "Thank you."

"Wait here, at this time it shouldn't take long to get off work, I'll go inquire, when the time comes, wait a while, and bring the person over after getting off work."

"Okay."

He wasn't in a hurry to go back. No matter what, he had to figure it out, set up the things, adjust the parameters, and then move back and use it directly. Otherwise, he would have to move back and forth.

Ye's father sighed: "This foreigner's thing is so complicated, so troublesome."

"But it's cheap, can save a little bit."

After all, regular channels have to pay taxes, and irregular channels can save a part of this money.

A group of them sat in the shop and waited, until dark. Fortunately, Ye Yaohai's small shop didn't have much business.

Fishermen who often go out to sea know his family and avoid them. Occasionally, when they encounter boats from other places, they can receive goods.

However, fishing boats from other places are all big goods when they dock, and receiving a wave is enough. Anyway, they don't rely on this to eat.

Ye Yaodong was bored and chatted with Ye Yaohai's other younger brothers.

"The overseas Chinese in the village before said they also opened a factory in the provincial capital, has it opened?"

"Yes, it opened a few months ago, we have brothers and relatives working there."

"They don't just open factories, they also want to open hotels, and they are moving."

"Really rich."

"Isn't it? But fortunately, everyone has benefited. Most of the young people in our village have gone to work for them."

"It's good to have a clan."

"That's for sure, if the people of the same family are promising, if they are lucky, the people of the same clan can also benefit a little, at least they can follow to earn wages."

Everyone chatted together and it wasn't boring. Ye Yaodong's boat workers heard them talk about the various realities and benefits of their own overseas Chinese, and were very envious.

After going back, they publicized it again. This was what they heard with their own ears.

Ye Yaohai didn't bring a master over to debug for them until dark.

With someone who knows the business coming over to debug, it went much smoother, and no instruction manual was needed. He taught them how to use it hand by hand.

It didn't take much effort, and it was all done in half an hour, and the machine could run.

As long as the empty container is placed in the fixed position below the filling head, you can press the button to start the filling process.

At this time, the filling head will also descend to the vicinity of the container mouth and start filling the liquid.

When the liquid reaches the preset filling amount, the machine will stop filling and then automatically seal.

This is also the parameter they need to set at the beginning, and it is also set for them by the master they called over.

Then this machine needs to manually remove the filled packaging bag, and someone needs to catch it there.

And the position of the removed packaging must be replaced with a new one to connect, which will not automatically connect.

Ye Yaodong watched from beginning to end, understood the explanation, and after knowing how to do it, thanked the master repeatedly.

Of course, he was also very sensible, directly paid the master's door-to-door fee, and asked for the person's home address and recorded it.

In case this machine breaks down in the future, he can also invite someone directly to his door, without troubling Ye Yaohai again.

"Finally got it done, running back and forth for a day, must invite me to eat tomorrow."

"Simple, invite everyone to eat tomorrow, heh."

"Sensible, didn't let me run for a day in vain."

Ye Yaodong paid for the machine, and temporarily stored this thing in his shop, and moved it to the boat when he left tomorrow. Otherwise, he didn't have a place to put such a tall and big thing on his boat.

Throwing it directly on the deck, he was also worried about being stolen, although a boat of people slept on the boat, it wasn't that reassuring.

The next day he still had to go to the packaging bag factory to order packaging bags. After inviting a group of people to eat lunch, he went by himself. He didn't trouble Ye Yaohai. Anyway, he went two or three times and was familiar with the road.

At first, he wasn't familiar, so he conservatively ordered 10,000 packaging bags for the time being, which only cost a few dozen yuan, and he set the product name.

Just call it Dongsheng Fish Sauce, simple and easy, and doesn't waste brain cells.

His Dongsheng boat, Dongsheng wholesale shop, now has one more Dongsheng Fish Sauce.

On the outer packaging, he also left the address, phone number, and contact person at the same time.

He thought he probably just lacked a trademark, but it didn't matter, not in a hurry.

After finishing the things, it was almost evening when he returned to the pier. Ye's father had already asked someone to move the filling machine onto the boat in advance.

When he arrived, he went directly on the boat, checked that the things were not damaged and there was no problem, and then drove the boat back directly. ===== CHAPTER 1193 =====
