Chapter 1245: Not Enough to Sell

"Boss is really punctual!"

Vulgar Person raised his wrist to check his watch and was satisfied; he hadn't been stood up again.

"It's good that you're punctual, otherwise I wouldn't want this batch of goods either."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly. He really didn't mean to yesterday; he was surrounded in the busy market, what could he do?

"Let's go. It's not easy to weigh here. The wooden pole scale takes a long time and is laborious. Go to my workshop, there is a platform scale, which can be weighed, and there are people to move it."

"Where?"

He pointed to the opposite side of a wide road, that spacious workshop surrounded by a wall.

"Just opposite, walk a hundred meters, very close."

"That workshop surrounded by a wall? Yours? You don't seem to be a local, right?" Vulgar Person's voice was suspicious and surprised, with an expression of disbelief.

"Right, mine. Bought it from the village. Let's go. If you are interested, I can take you around. Get on the vehicle first, pull you over. Although it's only a hundred meters, you have to walk over. It's good to walk a little less."

Ye Yaodong had already gotten on the tractor and patted the seat on the side.

He couldn't care about being surprised and shook his head, "No need, my vehicle is on the side of the road, let the vehicle drive over too."

"That works, then you follow. I'll drive to the entrance and wait for you."

The vehicle at home yesterday had over 2,000 jin left. This morning, he drove the new tractor bought in the workshop to the wharf to pull goods. Both vehicles had goods.

Anyway, Wang Guangliang and the others went to the wharf to collect goods only after eating dinner. The tractor was idle there, and he drove it to pick up goods without affecting it.

After driving to the entrance, he drove the one in the workshop out and then asked people to push the platform scale out.

Vulgar Person also jumped down from a truck, curiously standing at the entrance looking inside.

"Can the land in the village be bought and sold casually? And can you buy such a large piece?"

"That depends on how you talk to the village. When the time comes, I definitely have to provide job positions to the village. If you provide labor positions to the village, you can be protected by the village. Actually, there is quite a lot of wasteland around. Selling the land is creating income for the village committee, isn't it?"

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he asked people to move the goods on the vehicle down and then weigh them one by one.

Vulgar Person didn't come alone, there was also a middle-aged man, the driver of the truck.

While weighing, they asked people to record.

And Vulgar Person kept asking him about buying land.

There were quite a few scattered villages around, and there was a lot of wasteland, but those wastelands were messy with some trees and weeds, as well as gravel piles, garbage, soil slopes, etc., and there were farmland further away.

The piece of land Ye Yaodong bought was considered the closest to the market. No wonder people would be tempted. Close to the market, buy a piece of land to build a warehouse, how convenient it would be in the future.

He also incidentally took people in to visit and introduced to Vulgar Person what he was producing.

"Wait until my fish sauce is filtered and produced. When the time comes, if you are interested, I can give you a good price. Bagged is very easy to transport."

"A small fish sauce, you actually bought such a large piece of open space to engage in it?"

"Haha, not just fish sauce, incidentally used as storage. It's better to buy more land if you can. Land has been the foundation since ancient times."

Vulgar Person thought about it thoughtfully and felt it made sense.

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, buying more land definitely can't be wrong.

In China's five thousand years, land has been the foundation. Since ancient times, for the common people, land has been the most important.

Not to mention that in the surrounding area, there is a market, the road is wide, large vehicles come and go conveniently, and building a warehouse around is most appropriate. It is always more convenient than the urban area, and large vehicles are not easy to enter.

Ye Yaodong didn't know that he gave this person inspiration, making this person buy land wherever he went, and also formed a big good relationship for himself.

Weighing 5 tons of goods from beginning to end wasn't that fast. Fortunately, they didn't need the two bosses to worry. The people in Ye Yaodong's hands were already skilled, plus Vulgar Person's driver was supervising on the side.

After all were weighed, the two were already talking and laughing, and they were brothers.

Ye Yaodong was still thinking that he had to get a set of tea sets to put here, and also had to fix a private reception room, preferably a set of sofas!

Otherwise, when guests and bosses came, they could only wander around blindly with him, talking while walking. Sitting down to drink tea could only be done in the kitchen, taking a bowl and pouring coarse tea.

Too shabby!

"Adong, it's all weighed, 5 tons, and it's all moved onto the truck."

"Done? Bring the calculator to me." Ye Yaodong said while walking out with Vulgar Person.

Vulgar Person also asked his driver, confirmed that there was no problem with the goods, and after they were all moved onto the vehicle, he looked at Ye Yaodong calculating the price.

"5 tons is 10,000 jin, 1 jin is 1 mao 7, exactly 1,700 yuan."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong had calculated the income from retail sales yesterday afternoon. He sold less than two tons. He estimated it was over 3,800 jin, totaling over 839 yuan.

However, the fraction and weight didn't match. He didn't know if there were too many people, he took it away, or someone took advantage of the chaos.

Anyway, it was about the same.

Now 5 tons is 1,700, and their retail sales of about two tons yesterday also had over 800. If they sold over 4 tons, it was estimated that it would be almost enough to offset wholesale 5 tons.

However, if you want to cash out quickly, wholesale is still faster. Retail is too troublesome.

And those small bills were too laborious to count. Vulgar Person handed over a stack, all of which were big unity, which was too pleasing.

Ye Yaodong happily dipped some saliva to count the banknotes once, and then shook them, "Thank you, happy cooperation. Call me if you need anything next time. I will bring another vehicle tomorrow."

"However, if the time interval is too long, there will probably be no goods. Have to wait until next year. You know, these kelp are seasonal."

Vulgar Person asked curiously, "Generally, which month?"

"Just now, April and May. The collection period before and after is probably between half a month to a month. But after drying, it can be stored for a long time. If the quantity is large and not sold out, there will still be some."

"However, this year I only have 30 tons in my hands, and half of it has already been sold. It might be gone in less than a month."

"If there are wild ones, pick them up, and there can still be a little. But wild ones can't compare to farmed ones. They are not that thick, and the leaves are not that big. Some are uneven, better than nothing."

He nodded, "Understood. If there's nothing, I'll go first. I won't delay you from selling kelp again."

"It's already 12 o'clock. Stay for a meal. I've already asked the auntie to cook, and cooked extra for two people."

"No need. We are in a hurry, have to go now."

"In such a hurry? Don't even have time to eat? People are iron, rice is steel, hungry if you don't eat a meal. Why don't you take a lunch box and eat on the road? Those who drive big vehicles should have lunch boxes, right?"

Ye Yaodong saw that the two were a bit hesitant and said enthusiastically, "Don't be polite. You bought 5 tons of my kelp. It's nothing to treat you to a meal."

"And didn't you say you don't have time to eat? Go to a restaurant outside, it might not be cooked at this time, which will delay things even more."

"Come, come, come, take the lunch box and go in to pack, and also taste our local specialty dishes..."

Both were a bit unable to withstand his enthusiasm and could only laugh and take the lunch box, and were pulled in by them.

His such enthusiasm also left a deep impression on the two.

When leaving, they were also full of smiles, waving at them all the time, and could see they were satisfied.

Ye Yaodong waited until he sent the people away before shouting at everyone to go in and eat.

Chen Zhihua exclaimed, "Adong, I was originally worried that your kelp couldn't be sold. I didn't expect that it would be gone so quickly in tons?"

"Nonsense, crow's mouth, who couldn't sell it?"

"Still have to be you. If it were someone else, even if it were sold, it would take a few months, right? That much quantity, enough effort, enough choking, how could it be so easy?"

Chen Shi echoed, "Right right right right..."

Wang Guangliang said, "I was also thinking what to do if there were 10 times more next year? Now it seems there is no need to worry at all. It's only been two days, and more than ten tons have been sold."

"Collect a little at home today, collect a little tomorrow, should be about the same, right?" Ye Yaodong looked at Chen Shi and asked.

"Big sister-in-law... said, about... same... still have... three days, 10... more tons."

"Oh, eat."

Ye Yaodong pondered that there were still over 1,000 jin left, less than 2,000 jin. After the meal, if he pulled it to the market, it should be sold quickly.

If it can't be sold out at meal time, put it in the shop, and he will go home early.

Tomorrow he will bring another vehicle over to send to the troops, and the rest can be transported over and put in the warehouse for storage, and then handed over to his father-in-law to sell.

Probably it won't take a few days to sell out. Not to mention a few bosses, even the Vulgar Person he met today, he felt he would come back to pull another vehicle, maybe it's not enough to sell.

The more he thought about it, the more his confidence increased. This year he could sell so much, next year the customer source would naturally be more stable, and he could attract more customers. 10 times more, probably not a problem.

After the meal, Ye Yaodong hurriedly took people to the market to sell goods, and also brought a loudspeaker to let people shout.

The market was closed, but there were still people lingering in the shops around to wholesale. Although it couldn't compare to the night and morning, there were still many people and vehicles coming and going.

"Sell sell sell sell sell... kelp kelp kelp... kelp... two two two mao 2..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Shi with disgust.

"Get get get get get get, I... slap!" Ye Yaodong slapped his own mouth.

"Damn it, you shut up! Change someone, hurry up and change someone, I was almost led astray."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Guangliang laughed until his waist bent, "Adong, don't talk about you. We have been with him for a long time. Who hasn't stuttered? The most serious time, it took several months to get better."

Chen Shi scratched his head and looked at everyone with a smile, "You you... tell me... to speak, read... tongue... twister..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "I told you to practice by yourself at home, not to let you hold the loudspeaker and shout there at this time. Are you preparing to make everyone stutter?"

Their movement attracted people around. Everyone looked at them curiously. A young vendor carrying a pole walked over and asked curiously.

"Kelp kelp kelp... slap! How to sell kelp?"

Ye Yaodong suddenly couldn't hold back, laughed out, and then glared at Chen Shi.

"See? Those who don't stutter, listen to you speak, go through it a few times in their hearts, and when they say it, they become stutterers."

"That that that that... also not, my my my fault..."

He rubbed his forehead and ignored him. Others also hurriedly pulled him to the vehicle and let him wait on the vehicle to pick kelp.

"Kelp 2 mao 5 per jin, kelp from 20 jin, 2 mao 2 per jin, one jin can soak and expand five or six jin..." Ye Yaodong said to the person who came, and others also shouted with the loudspeaker.

Instantly, the people around also understood clearly. Some people had bought it the day before yesterday. After hearing that the price was the same, they immediately swarmed up.

The flow of people at this time could not compare to the people around the busy market. Selling for half an afternoon, only a thousand jin were sold.

Ye Yaodong was in a hurry to go home. Seeing people still surrounding to buy at 2:30, he let everyone go to the shop entrance to buy.

And he asked people to drive the tractor to the shop entrance, unload the goods and put them in the shop, preparing to hand over the remaining few hundred jin to his father-in-law to handle.

It's not much. Selling intermittently, it is estimated that it can be sold out today.

He took others and drove the tractor away first. Chen Shi and the other two who sent goods this morning, he also drove the tractor to send them to the wharf, let them go back the way they came.

He was also in a hurry this morning, and a bit uncertain about what time to go home, so he didn't go to the market to buy a batch of goods in advance. Otherwise, if he went back, he could also fill the vehicle and boat and incidentally bring them back.

But it's not a pity. In these two or three days, he made a lot of money just from the price difference.

Counting today's, nearly 13 tons of goods were sold. Some made a price difference of 9 cents per jin, some 1 mao, retail 1 mao 5. After his father-in-law finished selling the remaining few hundred jin of goods, he could earn over 2,500.

This is just two or three days, more profitable than going out to sea.

On the way back home driving the tractor, he thought, no wonder people who started doing business in this era, as long as they weren't caught, all made a fortune. Some celebrities after the 21st century all started in this era.

As long as there is a way, a channel, information, and boldness to work, they can all make big money.

Those who are timid, small-scale tossing can also earn a lot.

Today he arrived home early, and the empty vehicle arrived home quickly. The weather was hot and the days were long. When he arrived home, the workshop entrance was still weighing kelp, and he returned just in time.

"Adong is back..."

"Haven't seen you for two days, your wife said you were selling kelp in the city..."

"How is the business? Is it easy to sell outside?"

He hadn't gotten off the vehicle yet. As soon as the vehicle stopped at the entrance, someone crowded up to ask questions.

"So-so, didn't sell out, threw it in the shop for my father-in-law to sell."

When the village head heard this, his heart was raised, "Didn't sell out? Then what to do? There are four or five tons here today, and quite a lot can be collected tomorrow and the day after..."

"You collect yours, what are you afraid of if I can store it if I can't sell it?"

"Hehe, isn't it thinking that there will be more farming next year, if it can't be sold..."

"No need to worry, just sell it to me next year."

Chen Shuji explained, "We are worried that if there is more year by year, you will have pressure..."

"No need to worry this year, no need to worry next year. After the whole village is widely planted, it should be able to sell more when the time comes, right? If there are other people coming to collect kelp, wouldn't it be able to share the risk? Anyway, those are things for the future. You don't need to worry this year, you don't need to worry next year, and we will talk about the year after next."

Can't guarantee which year it will be too cold, if it's too hot, it may affect the growth of kelp. Natural and man-made disasters can't be said accurately. Let's do it year by year first.

The village head nodded, "Also, anyway, there was a bumper harvest this year. Adong said there is no problem next year, then let's do it boldly. Earn one year is one year."

Chen Shuji also said with a smile, "Right, if you can do it, continue to do it. It's best to have a few more bosses to collect goods, so that you don't have to give all the pressure to Adong..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards Ah Qing who was supervising the weighing, "What is the quantity today?"

"Quite a lot has been weighed. I estimate there should be five or six tons, more than what was collected in these few days. One vehicle might not be able to pull it tomorrow."

"If you can't pull it, then put a little and send it to the city together the day after tomorrow."

"Was it sold out when it was sent over today?"

"Almost. Only a few hundred jin left in these few days. When I came back, I handed it to my father. I will send this vehicle directly to the troops tomorrow. Just one vehicle of kelp, one vehicle of dried fish."

They had already established a fixed transaction with the troops a few months ago, sending one vehicle at the beginning of each month. Tomorrow is exactly the 1st.

He had already planned it two days ago. When sending dried fish on the 1st, he would incidentally pull a vehicle of kelp. He would go to lobby himself. The propaganda of kelp preventing goiter had not yet been popularized, so he had to rely on his glib tongue first.

Cheap and good goods, believe the logistics department of the troops will not refuse, and it has been stably supplied for so long, definitely can believe him.

So he is not worried about these kelp this year at all. He really feels that it is not enough to sell. He can take a little more next year. He also needs to hoard goods and supply those small vendors for a long time.

Don't look at the small quantity of small vendors, but there are many small vendors. Accumulating is not small. It is stronger than selling to nearby villagers.

"Hungry? Tired? Do you want to go home and rest first? Let the old lady cook something for you?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't spare her hands to arrange food for him immediately. After weighing here, she still had to settle the account.

"No need, it's almost weighed, I'll incidentally take a look at how much quantity there is."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong stood on the side, and the village cadres all surrounded him, smiling and chatting with him, caring about him, looking closer than his own father.

His father couldn't do as amiable as them, even the old lady was almost worse than them.

After all were weighed and the quantity and price were calculated, Lin Xiuqing immediately went home to get money.

One by one, the old men looked at their couple as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.

Ye Yaodong asked with a smile, "How much money was sold in these few days? Calculated?"

"Calculated, sold quite a lot..."

"Including today's, it's already over 2,600. There will be more tomorrow and the day after. Collect again the day after tomorrow, it should be about the same."

The villagers who had been watching were all in an uproar. Although some watched every day and knew how much money was collected, they were still shocked when they really heard the village cadres say it affirmatively.

"So much!"

"It will sell for three or four thousand yuan after all this is collected? This is too much, right?"

"Then we big guys also follow to do it, can we also earn so much?"

"This is too able to earn money? Just this few cents of kelp..."

"My God, mainly the yield is high, too profitable..."

"You hurry up and come up with a charter, how to plant next year..."

Everyone was boiling, and everyone's mind was thinking about earning three or four thousand yuan a year by following.

The village head said with a smile, "You just look at earning money, didn't see spending money. We hired two people who knew how to help with farming, so we could harvest so much."

"The wages of these two people are 50 yuan a month, and it will be 1,200 a year. From September last year to now, we also have to pay 1,000 yuan in wages, plus the money for buying ropes, money for buying seedlings, and the village also produced two laborers."

"If you don't earn money, it's considered voluntary help. Now that you earn money, you definitely have to calculate wages the same way. Calculate, deduct expenses this year, and only earn one or two thousand yuan purely."

"It's okay, after all, the 1st year is just testing the water..."

"When the time comes, if the villagers plant it themselves, isn't the money for labor saved? Plant it yourself, output yourself, where do you need wages?"

Several village cadres said a word to each other, and the villagers' minds were a bit clearer, not as excited as just now.

But after thinking about it, I also felt it made sense. Labor is the least valuable.

They have a lot of labor in their families, and they have a lot of strength to use, but they can't earn money. Where can everyone earn 600 yuan a year?

"Right, there are many people in the family who can work, then you have to spend money to hire others."

"Yes, the whole family farms together, it's not bad to earn a thousand yuan a year."

"As long as you can make money, everyone can have a goal. Now it's not easy to find work, and there's no way to use strength, and the whole family can't earn money."

"Right, the whole family does it, isn't what is sold their own? Where do you need to give any wages."

"Right right right, when the time comes, three or four thousand yuan are earned by their own family, no need to pay others thousands of yuan a year."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "That also has to come slowly. Learn the technology next year, learn how to farm first, then you can do it on a family basis."

"Definitely, learn it yourself first and then teach your family."

"If our village can live a good life, we have to thank you."

"Yes, if everyone can make money, we have to thank Adong."

"Don't don't don't, don't say this so fast. Wait until everyone makes money first. If you don't make money, you have to scold me."

"Hehehe..."

Chen Shuji hurriedly helped say, "Natural and man-made disasters can't be said accurately. Who can guarantee that you can make money every year? It's not that the God of Wealth sends money."

"At least this is also a way to make a living. Success this year, everyone can see, which shows it is feasible, so continue to gamble on luck next year."

The village head also said, "Good harvest, everyone eats meat. Bad harvest or didn't do it, we will continue next year."

"Success once doesn't mean success forever, failure once doesn't mean failure forever. Anyway, everyone has seen the hope, right?"

"Right right right, now that we have seen the hope, try more, always can make money."

Ye Yaodong felt that he had to go home and get a few packs of cigarettes to send to the village cadres later.

They are too sensible, too able to consider, knowing to take precautions in advance.

There are many people gathered together, emotions will always be incited, saying it in advance is more effective than coming to appease later.

He listened to the village cadres talking to everyone on the side, listening to them repeatedly guaranteeing that they would discuss it well in these few days, come up with a charter, and post it on the bulletin board.

Everyone was satisfied and walked home in twos and threes.

"If you make money next year, everyone is happy. If you don't make money, it probably won't be able to be displayed."

"Bless that we will make a lot of money next year."

Ye Yaodong said, "Success this year everyone can see. Even if you fail next year, everyone can understand. It's just that the village committee has to test for a few more years, so that everyone can dare to try."

"Right, anyway, it's also a way out. Bless that next year will also go smoothly."

"Then we will go first."

"Wait, sit at my place for a while, stood for so long, go to my place to drink tea." Ye Yaodong put his shoulders on them one by one and walked towards his home.

Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly followed by his side, smiling and inviting them to eat at home.

Ye's mother was also on the side, also enthusiastically pulling them, greeting them to go home.

Inviting village cadres home to eat, he also had light on his face.

They didn't just pull the village head and village secretary, other cadres, clerks, and women's directors were also invited.

A large group of people couldn't refuse their enthusiasm and could only smile and follow them home.

Fortunately, their family hasn't earned less money in these two years, the food is not bad, and there are many dried seafood, and temporary rectification can also get a decent table out.

Originally it was also meal time, the whole family hadn't eaten yet. After inviting people back, Ye Yaodong first pulled everyone to sit down and drank wine with the food prepared in the evening.

And Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother also put on aprons, set up a large pot in the courtyard, and seized the time to make a few more dishes. It didn't matter if the rice wasn't cooked enough, cooking more soup noodles as a staple food was the same.

A table full of people, the noisy talking sound attracted people at the entrance to watch. In these few days, the village was talking about kelp.

Nearby neighbors looked at the intimate appearance of the village cadres and their family, and were very envious.

Some stopped in the courtyard, chatted with Ye's mother, and incidentally helped. Ye's mother was also smiling from ear to ear, listening to everyone chatting and complimenting while listening, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

It's just a pity that Ye's father is not there. If he knew, he would be regretful. What a good opportunity to be brothers with village cadres.

A meal made everyone's tongue big, and their footsteps were unstable before they dispersed. Ye Yaodong also fell down.

Ye's mother and Lin Xiuqing had to go to the neighbors to ask for help, send the cadres home one by one, and then come back to clean up the mess.

Ye Yaodong lay on the bed without taking off his clothes and pants. Lin Xiuqing didn't have time to manage him, only let the three children watch him and take off his clothes and pants.

Ye Chenghu looked at his drunk father and grabbed the lead, "I'll take off the clothes!"

Ye Chengyang also hurriedly said, "I'll take off the pants!"

Then both looked at Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi was also a bit confused, "What about me?"

The two brothers said in unison, "You take off the shoes!"

"Ah, oh, good!"

The two brothers had learned Ye Yaodong's smelly feet, hurriedly climbed onto the bed, and gave the position at the feet to Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi used her suckling strength to pry the liberation shoes on his feet...

"Hey... ah... brother..."

Ye Chenghu said, "Use some strength."

Ye Chengyang hesitated, "I'll help you untie the shoelaces, it's easier for you to take off."

"Good... um... ah, so smelly so smelly..." ===== CHAPTER 1246 =====
