Chapter 1250: Excited Just Thinking About It

Early in the morning, as soon as Ye Yaodong got up, he took a bucket to the workshop. Inside were the cuttlefish he brought back yesterday, covered with ice. He planned to put them on the tractor first and by the way tell people to pack and load the dried fish to be taken to the city.

This way, he could set off immediately after breakfast. It was far to the city, so it was better to be early than late.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the workshop, several married and unmarried men were either squatting or bending over, surrounding the little girl sitting at the door talking.

"What are you guys doing? Bullies molesting a young girl?"

Several people immediately stood up with a smile.

"No, we're just talking to her."

"Yeah, we're just asking which village she's from?"

"Brother Dong, are you going to recruit her to the city to keep accounts? Otherwise, put her here to keep accounts? These two workshops have so many people coming and going, we also need to recruit some people to help Third Sister-in-law."

"Yeah, the neighbors are all aunties and middle-aged women."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the little girl who was a bit shy and blushing, glaring at that group of wolf-like men.

"What? You're even picky? The aunties and middle-aged women are about to come over with kitchen knives."

"How dare we? They're the ones who are picky about us."

"Why haven't you guys gone out to sea yet?"

"Third Uncle hasn't come over yet. The old lady called him to go pick manure early in the morning. He told us to wait a bit."

Alright.

He wanted to pick it yesterday, but the day before he mentioned that his father would be back soon, let Aqing buy a pig's trotter. Later the old lady said his father would be back soon, let him keep it for his father to pour.

That was of course even better, he was busy too.

His father returned yesterday and at least rested for a while. It was no problem to rush to pick manure and then go out to sea this morning.

"Then which one of you drive the tractor over, just in time, everyone is here, load the dried fish."

"Okay, coming."

The young men immediately moved. Some rolled up their sleeves before working, and even greeted the girl, letting her sit for a while first.

Ye Yaodong watched them like peacocks spreading their tails, feeling a bit displeased, and kicked them away.

Heard she was only 16, could have been his granddaughter in his previous life. These beasts' eyes were all shining.

He said to the little girl: "You don't have to be afraid, they just find you fresh, no malice. It's not just men here, the aunties and middle-aged women next door will really come over with knives to kill fish later."

Huang Mei nodded, holding her luggage bundle.

"I'll go back to eat first. After they finish loading the car, we'll set off. You just wait here."

She continued to nod.

Ye Yaodong didn't say much more and went back directly.

Just returned home, as soon as his butt sat down, he saw his father enter from the back door, both hands wet, probably just finished picking manure and washed his hands.

"Eating?"

He always felt this sounded a bit strange, chose to skip, "Hurry up and go out to sea, they are all waiting at the workshop."

Ye Fu picked up the hand-wiping cloth hanging under the table and wiped his hands casually, "Got it, just the old woman who has many things, everything has to wait for me to return to do. If I hadn't returned, would it have to be left to overflow? As soon as I returned, she hurriedly called me to pour."

The chopsticks Ye Yaodong used to stir the porridge didn't move either.

"I'm eating, hurry up and go do your business."

Ye Fu glanced at him and didn't say anything. The tide had arrived, and he had to hurry out to sea.

After his father left, Ye Yaodong also hurriedly shoveled the porridge, casually eating a few chopsticks of salted vegetables and soy sauce cucumbers into his stomach, and walked out.

A cart of dried fish was ready to go, and it was covered with nylon bags and fixed with ropes.

And the bucket of cuttlefish and a large jar of cuttlefish eggs he brought over early in the morning had already been pressed at the very bottom by the dried fish, not affecting unloading, nor affecting the bumps along the way.

He let the little girl sit on his left hand side, and after confirming she was sitting firmly, he drove the tractor away.

As soon as he drove into the village, he heard several shouts, all peddlers who came early carrying poles to sell things.

Ye Yaodong had always been focused on driving, but seeing the little girl stealing glances at him from time to time, he was worried that she would be afraid of traveling far away from home, so he chatted with her, asking about her family situation.

Only every time he reached a bend, he felt a bit awkward, because of inertia, this girl would fall onto him. He was holding the tractor handle, which was fine, wouldn't fall onto others.

He felt very awkward. If it wasn't for the cart behind being full, he should have let her sit in the back, shouldn't have sat next to him in the front.

Fortunately, it wasn't the boys in the workshop who sent her; otherwise, they would have been so excited that they couldn't drive well, and the front of the car would have been crooked.

After one or two times, every time he turned, he slowed down a lot, which reduced a bit of awkwardness.

After arriving in the city all the way, they could talk and laugh, and could hear a Brother Dong.

Ye Yaodong also explained the streets in the city to her. Every time he passed a street, he would talk about special places or landmark buildings, which made her heart surge, especially excited, and she couldn't see enough of everything.

Most rural people who come to the city for the first time are like this.

Not to mention that in recent years, there has been vigorous development and support for individual operations. Many previously empty streets now have shops, which is 10 times more lively than when he first came a few years ago.

After arriving in the city, it was fast to the wholesale market.

When he drove the car to the factory entrance, it wasn't even lunch time, only about 10 o'clock. Some people hadn't even woken up, and some were squatting at the kitchen door brushing their teeth.

Seeing him drive a tractor in, with a girl sitting next to him, their eyes widened, and they started shouting with bubbles in their mouths.

"Brothers, come out quickly, come out quickly, Adong brought a girl."

"What girl? Adong brought a woman? Really or fake?"

"No way?"

Those who woke up and those who didn't all ran out, even his aunt ran out with a spatula to take a look.

Ye Yaodong frowned, looking at them one by one, disheveled, "What nonsense, this is an accountant invited to keep accounts."

"Accountant? What is an accountant?"

Wang Guangliang held his clothes in his hand, shirtless, and patted the person beside him, "Are you stupid? Didn't you say it's for keeping accounts?"

"Oh, I thought Adong also learned from other bosses to bring women."

Ye Yaodong said unhappily: "Other bosses brought women for you to see? Don't spread rumors for me. If my reputation is ruined, watch me beat you to death."

"Hehe, heard it."

Wang Guangliang put on his clothes, leaned close and said flatteringly: "Brother Dong, is this little sister from our place? Specially invited?"

"Yes, she's only 16, thin-skinned, don't scare people. If you scare my accountant away and she doesn't dare to stay here, you guys go home too."

"Definitely, definitely, we will definitely get along friendly and help the sister more."

"What time did you work until last night? If you're up, come over to unload."

"Okay, we finished receiving goods at 2 o'clock and came back to sleep."

Ye Yaodong handed the goods to them to unload, and led Huang Mei to find his aunt, letting his aunt arrange where to live.

By the way, he also told her that if she wanted to call home to report safety, go to the market opposite, just ask anyone and she would know.

After explaining, he went to visit several fermentation rooms. After three or four months of development, now whether inside or outside the house, they were all full, and the quantity was remarkably substantial.

If it weren't for this piece of land, he bought enough, it would have been full long ago.

Now the more he thought about it, the more he felt he did the right thing at the beginning. Without the carrying capacity of such a large piece of land, his fish sauce workshop couldn't have been made so big.

A large batch fermented at home before the year, now all are being filtered and bottled. He planned to send the batch that the overseas Chinese wanted personally in a few days to see if he could settle some foreign exchange.

After a cart of dried fish was unloaded, he also took down the bucket of cuttlefish and untied the rope.

When they were loading the car, they were worried that the ice on top would make the dried fish damp, so they specially took a small piece of nylon bag to cover it, and tied it tightly with a rope to avoid leaking.

Ye Yaodong grabbed a few to eat at noon, and poured out half of the rest. Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't lunch time yet, he prepared to send them to his father-in-law first, letting his father-in-law distribute them himself.

After lunch, he rushed to Director Chen's house with half a bucket of cuttlefish and a jar of cuttlefish eggs.

Just past lunch time, not yet work time, the couple were still resting at home. Seeing Ye Yaodong bring things to the door again, they were all beaming.

Jin Yuzhi said with a smile: "Why did you bring things again? Told you, don't bring things when you come in the future. That sack of kelp last time, I distributed a little to every family, and there's still a pile left at home, have to eat for a long time. Don't bring things every time, we couple can't finish eating at all."

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish, anyway, it won't spoil if you leave it, eat slowly." Ye Yaodong carried the things in, saying as he walked.

"This cuttlefish must be eaten fresh today, so I didn't dare to take too much. You have a refrigerator, can only put it for a few days. Wait for the cuttlefish dried to be dried in a few days, then I'll bring you dried ones, this can be put for a longer time."

Director Chen also smiled and said: "Don't take it, we can't finish eating what we took last year, and gave it to several children to take away to eat during the New Year."

"That doesn't matter, anyway, it's not wasted. This jar is pickled cuttlefish eggs, pickled the night before yesterday, can't eat yet, have to put it for a period of time. This salty steamed bowl is very good for rice."

"Don't take it next time, bring so many things every time you come. I recognized a godson, and the whole family building benefited."

"That's not pretty good, you must be the most popular in this family building now."

Jin Yuzhi said: "Haha, don't even say, really, moved here last year, not familiar with neighbors, at most neighbors are polite. Now whoever meets, can enthusiastically greet our couple, every day is not sending this dish, it is sending that dish, we don't need to buy vegetables."

"Pretty good, isn't the situation opened up all at once? Anyway, it's not worth much."

"These things of yours also need to be sold for money..."

"Not lacking this bit, rest assured to accept it, they are all common things, don't need to spend money to buy at home, I still have things to ask godfather."

Ye Yaodong put down the things, asked about their health again, and after the pleasantries, asked straight to the point: "Are there any eliminated diving equipment in the Navy? Or diving suits or something?"

It was already past lunch time, not much time left before work, he had to say what he had to say quickly.

Director Chen looked at him in surprise, "What do you want this for?"

"Didn't I submit a suggestion some time ago? Visited the research institute and applied for the application report for species suitable for local farming?"

"I found that there are some abalones growing on a reef in our place, thinking of fishing, but don't have the ability to go too deep."

"You know, the depth of ordinary people going to the bottom of the water is limited, and they can't stay for long, have to use tools; otherwise, abalone wouldn't be so expensive."

"I'm thinking of fishing some abalone up. When the time comes, after you guys pass the meeting, when we send people to visit the research institute, bring some meeting gifts to the research institute by the way, let them also see if our side is suitable for farming abalone."

"Abalone is a high-end product. If it can be farmed well, it will definitely create economic income."

This was also a reason he made up in advance; otherwise, he couldn't explain why he wanted diving equipment. This must be taken to the bottom of the sea.

It's better to tell the truth, it's more credible. Even if you go through the back door, you have to have a proper reason, which can reduce the embarrassment for Director Chen.

"Your reason is not bad, but this thing in the army belongs to the country. It's not so easy for you to get it. For me, it has crossed the line, and the control in the city will also be relatively strict."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Then is it okay to borrow? Borrow two sets, return in a few months?"

Director Chen pondered for a while, "Borrowing is relatively simple. If there is no special situation, as long as it can be borrowed, it's easy to say how long to borrow. The premise is that it can be borrowed. I'll try first, and I'll call the village to notify you when there is news."

He was overjoyed. It's good to try. If it can't be borrowed, then forget it. For him, there is no loss.

"Alright, it's best if it can be borrowed. If it can't be borrowed, it doesn't matter, can't make you embarrassed."

"I'll try to ask."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong told them again that Mazu's birthday was coming, and the village would start singing big plays in these two days, asking if they had time, and invited them to stay at home for a few days.

However, the couple both refused, saying that their whole family was busy with the fishing season now, they wouldn't go over to add trouble, and they had to go to work every day, no holidays, and couldn't meet the time to rest.

Plus Director Chen also said that he had to have meetings constantly these few days, all discussing farming matters, and couldn't leave.

Both said no time, then he didn't force it. Anyway, he had fulfilled his heart and enthusiastically invited them.

Waiting until it was almost work time, Ye Yaodong followed them out, and then immediately returned to the factory.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the afternoon, he let Lin's father and mother close the shop door. He called them, Wang Jianxin, Huang Mei, Wang Guangliang and others to one place, and told them that Huang Mei would keep accounts from now on.

Let Lin's father hand over the accounting work at hand to Huang Mei, report accounts to Huang Mei every day, and reimbursement also depends on the list. If there is no list, write it to Huang Mei by hand.

And Huang Mei also has to sign to withdraw money from Lin's father, and then take the reimbursement list to the person who reports the accounts after withdrawing the money.

Of course, if there are any problems, let them adjust themselves. If they can't adjust, call him or Aqing.

Now the shop managed by his father-in-law in the city is making money, others are spending money.

"Our factory is so big now, the daily expenditure is not small, all income and expenditure must go through accounts, how can it be standardized? Although the procedures are troublesome, it can ensure that there will be no mistakes in the future."

"The country has national laws, the family has family rules. Our factory has been established in a decent way now, and we have a business license. Of course, we must have a set of operating systems."

"In the future, it will definitely get better and better. You are all the first batch of employees, definitely won't treat you badly. When the factory is prosperous in the future, you will also be old people."

"To be honest, your monthly wages now are no worse than state-owned factories, our time is flexible, we are all our own people, there are no so many twists and turns, and we provide food and housing, isn't it better than ordinary workers?"

They all echoed one after another.

"Yeah, used to envy workers, now if you let me enter the factory to be a worker, I won't go..."

"Hehe, it must be better here..."

Ye Yaodong said: "So you all work hard, put your mind on work, don't have crooked thoughts. After a few months, we will definitely recruit people from the village here to work in the factory, you also have to help watch."

Filtering fish sauce is also a complicated physical labor. With such a large output here, we definitely have to hire people again.

Now the division of labor is very clear, he doesn't want to recruit people from home to come over. When the time comes, a large group of people, eating and drinking is also a problem.

Recruit from nearby villages, let them go home to eat and live, which is more trouble-free, and before buying this land, he also drew a big cake for the village chief, how can he fulfill it.

Ye Yaodong drew a cake for them again according to the old rules, encouraged them, and let them go about their business, leaving only Lin's father and Huang Mei.

He had to check the accounts with Lin's father first, settle the recent accounts, and put them away.

Then let Lin's father explain to Huang Mei what accounts have been recently, and explain the accounts he made to Huang Mei, and copy them.

After all, the accounts made by Lin's father, even if he had seen them for two or three years, he had to wait for him to explain, and then he would make notes before he could understand them.

This busy work, they were busy until dark again, during which they had dinner and continued.

Until the next day, Ye Yaodong returned by tractor again, and by the way, brought the workers who were on break today back together.

Everything at home was in good order, it didn't matter if he was there or not.

When he arrived home, it was only noon, his father hadn't returned yet, still at sea.

He moved a stool and sat in the workshop, listening to the old aunties gossip, and by the way, dug the pile of baby shellfish and barnacles he brought back the day before yesterday.

Seeing that only half was left, and they had been cleaned and boiled.

Lin Xiuqing didn't specially hire people to do it. The old aunties in the workshop were too busy killing fish. These shelled ones were dug slowly by her and Dongqing, and occasionally people who had no work at hand would move a stool over to do it together.

When the children at home finished school, they would also call them over to help.

Anyway, it won't spoil if it's not washed. Put it in a cool place, it doesn't matter if it's put for two days.

After Lin Xiuqing asked about his situation in the city, she changed the subject and asked.

"Adong, the order you brought back from the provincial capital last month is almost ready for delivery, and the goods at home are almost ready."

"Then I'll call later to ask if it's okay to deliver early, set a time and send them all in one trip."

"Yeah, take advantage of the time you're at home, send it early."

"Okay."

Just when he wanted to say something, he saw a series of children running past the workshop entrance.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

He just stood up and shouted, the figure was already gone.

"Running so fast, what for?"

Lin Xiuqing didn't even lift her eyelids to know what they were doing.

"Went to see those cherry trees, right? Every day after school, the first thing is to see if the cherries are ripe, looking eight hundred times a day. A little red ones were picked by them, and they didn't think it was sour. Told them the time hasn't come, still have to grow for two days, none of them believe it."

"If I'm old and they can run so diligently to see me, I'll be Amitabha."

"Thinking beautifully, old and still think it's some fragrant bun? Not living together, all year round, it's not bad to be able to visit you a few times during the New Year and holidays. Living in the same village, there are also those who haven't visited their father's house for a year."

This is true.

His eldest uncle and second uncle haven't visited the old lady a few times.

If there is, it's to talk about serious business with him or his father, or just like before, visiting every three days to tell him not to forget his roots, one pen can't write two Ye characters, etc., let him take care of his own people...

In the previous life, heard people say, if you have an inheritance when you are old, children and grandchildren wish the old one would kick the bucket early, so they can inherit the inheritance.

If you have a pension every month, you can be served like an ancestor, and you can be as filial as you want.

Lying on the hospital bed half-dead, you can still hang your life indefinitely. As long as you have a breath, you have to spend energy to hang it.

According to the old people, raising them is more profitable than raising pigs.

"Finished, then I will be cursed every day before I get old?"

"Ah?"

"Nothing."

"What are you thinking about every day? Talking about messy things, who wants to curse you? You're not that hateful, are you?"

"That's hard to say, I'm not RMB, can I be loved by everyone?"

"Then let's be careful, let them be alert at night. It just so happens that Mazu's birthday is coming recently, and people from outside the village are running to our village. If there are many people, it will be chaotic. I have to tell them about the shift arrangement, arrange two more people, especially at night."

Lin Xiuqing has already associated it crookedly, and can't sit still.

"I'll go tell them now, let them arrange shifts today, don't rest these few days, wait until the birthday is over, then arrange rest."

She went to talk to those workers immediately.

"What's the rush? Wait for me." Ye Yaodong also followed.

Mazu's birthday was lively for 6 days before it ended.

And during these 6 days, their workshop also temporarily stopped work, letting the women have time to watch big plays.

Anyway, these people are also calculated by point work, not by month, no loss to Ye Yaodong.

At the same time, the workers in the workshop don't need to do other work, just responsible for taking turns patrolling around the workshop, don't let people with bad intentions or thieves get close.

Mazu's birthday this year was not specially held very grandly, but the enthusiasm of the villagers did not diminish, and this year there were villagers from nearby villages participating, which was even more lively.

The grand occasion that only happens once a year, of course, also caused a sensation in the town.

However, Ye Yaodong thought, next year seems to be a grand ceremony for Mazu's ascension for a thousand years.

In the previous life, it seemed to be organized by the town government, sponsored by various overseas Chinese and Taiwanese businessmen, held very grandly, even reporters came to interview and record.

And he also heard that grand ceremonies for ascension are being held all over the province, not just locally, coastal places including Southeast Asia and Taiwan are holding them.

Because Mazu is a folk belief widely spread in coastal areas.

Historical records say Mazu (Lin Mo) lived from about 960 to 987 AD. Calculated according to this time period, Mazu's ascension for a thousand years is indeed in 1987.

In 2009, it was actually held grandly, because it was listed as the first intangible cultural heritage of belief customs by the United Nations.

He pondered, see if he can make big money again in the second half of the year to next year, just take advantage of Mazu's thousand-year grand ceremony next year to reshape the golden body.

Thinking about it, he was also a bit excited in his heart.

Now he is not an unknown person, has the city's leaders as a backer, is protected by the village, and has always been doing things beneficial to the collective, has been famous, has been in the newspaper, and is an active party member.

Reshaping the golden body for Mazu, spending a lot of money, should not be afraid of the local government causing him some trouble at that time.

However, the idea is very good now, what it will be like at that time, we will talk about it at that time.

He didn't take this out to tell Aqing, things without shadows are empty words, how to say it, have to make money first before talking about this.

However, he felt that the income in the second half of the year would definitely be higher than the first half. Now it is the cuttlefish fishing season, and in a while, it will be the jellyfish fishing season. If he can get diving equipment, he will go to fish for sea urchins in advance.

There is also a fresh-catch boat that can be put into use, and the two boats partnered with A Zheng and Xiao Xiao before the year can be handed over.

There is also a lighter factory. Fang Jingfu's side invested in expansion one after another last year, and the new factory was established at the beginning of the year.

He went a few times in these two months, the scale is already very large, all machines are in place, now it is the largest lighter factory in Wenzhou, and has started to sell overseas, the year-end dividend will definitely be very considerable.

Thinking of this, he was a bit excited again.

Maybe after the New Year this year, his assets can double again.

Then reshaping the golden body for Mazu is not a problem at all. At that time, he can also call on overseas Chinese and Taiwanese businessmen to invest together.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep thinking about it. The more he thought, the more beautiful he felt in his heart. In excitement, he sat up directly.

Lin Xiuqing saw him sitting there in the middle of the night, thought he had a nightmare, also sat up, and by the way reached out to pat his back to soothe him.

Who knew she found him grinning, almost scared to death.

"What are you doing? What are you laughing at in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, am I laughing?" Ye Yaodong touched his cheek, it seemed he was laughing.

Lin Xiuqing saw him laugh again, shivered, felt a bit creepy, but still reached out to probe his forehead.

"Are you okay?"

"What could I have?"

She thought it made sense, Mazu's birthday just ended, that is a god, not a ghost, how could he get dirty things? ===== CHAPTER 1251 =====
