Chapter 1353: Talking

If it really doesn't work, then he can only ponder setting up a drying room.

When he first started making dried fish, he thought it was troublesome to set up a drying room. Just a few small rooms, drying 24 hours a day, how much could be dried? It would cost a lot of firewood and coal, and what was dried itself was also cheap stuff.

Anyway, take advantage of the good weather in winter to dry a large quantity, and it's the same to keep it for the whole year to sell slowly.

This squid silk is a bit different. This is definitely better to sell than dried fish, with a wide sales volume and a higher price. The profit here is high, so it must be produced continuously.

And this is still something that can be caught and utilized very casually by his own big boat going out, and it can be had all year round, without spending money to buy it outside.

Unlike dried fish, which needs variety and procurement.

Lin Xiuqing heard that he had already planned it well, so she didn't say much.

After all, 100,000 jin of cargo had already been brought back, so there must be a way to dispose of it.

And that squid silk sounded reliable. She also tasted it just now, and liked it immediately. Needless to say, adults and children would definitely like it.

The fish sauce workshop at home could also be said to be somewhat idle. The focus had basically shifted to the factory in the city. Being able to free it up and utilize it was not a bad idea.

"Then why not listen to the old lady? Let Dad go out to sea, and you open the fresh-catch boat at home? Handle this batch of cargo, and by the way, set up the two factories."

"Oh right, that Comrade Hong Wenle came to find you a few days ago. You weren't there, so he left a message, asking you to go find him when you come back. Remember when you're busy."

"I also asked him, and he said the loan was approved, so it must be to come and discuss the factory matter with you."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "I know. I docked in the town before coming back. Then his loan was approved, and A-Guang's was also approved?"

"Approved. All three of them were approved. They said it was 10,000 each. A-Guang only had 10,000. Last week, when the money was in hand, they said they had already gone to the city to set the boat, just in time to use it as a deposit, and there was still some left to spend directly."

"Only 10,000?"

"It's not little. An individual's salary is only a few dozen yuan a month. It's already not bad to be able to lend 10,000."

"Alright."

"The other two are fine, they're both quite happy. They said it was picked up for free, learning from you how to 'leech'..."

Lin Xiuqing paused after saying this, then rolled her eyes at him. She didn't know what kind of things he said day in and day out, even 'leeching' came out.

"Huimei said A-Guang was a bit disappointed, but he accepted it, better than nothing. They also need a lot of money to build a house. It just so happens that this is a subsidy, no need to take money out of their own pockets, and they can also pay for the house building at the same time."

"Yeah, that's true. Having something is better than having nothing. Anyway, it was gotten for free, as long as there are no accidents, we won't lose money."

The biggest risk in this era is also the accident at sea. Anyway, their cargo is covered by his fresh-catch boat, so he's not afraid of not being able to sell it.

Natural and man-made disasters are hard to say. If you want to make money, you have to take risks. What doesn't have risks?

Even walking on the road normally, you have to worry about being robbed.

"How is their house building going? Just entered the door, I didn't go to look."

Ye Yaodong twisted a towel and handed it to Lin Xiuqing, signaling her to scrub his back.

"Almost there, just waiting for the beam to be raised. It's been stopped for these few days of rain, otherwise it would be about the same."

"Just building a house, it's fast if the weather is good. Have you looked at the date for raising the beam and moving?"

"It's all looked at. Once they move over, it's equivalent to dividing the family. At that time, the two of them will close the door and live their own little life, which is also relaxed and comfortable."

"Hmm, when moving, you should explain the previous shares to Huimei."

"Know it. Also, I heard from Huimei that A-Guang talked to the second brother, wanting to take back one share of the Fengshou boat, and it can be higher than the original price. The second brother didn't refuse at the time, only saying he had to discuss it with the second sister-in-law. The next day he said the second sister-in-law didn't agree, and wouldn't sell even if the price was high."

"Normal, if you don't sell, you don't sell."

"Hmm, at most, take it to rent later, and then they will divide it together."

"Did the few boats divide the accounts at the end of the month?"

"All divided. Now at the end of the month, I'm busy and overwhelmed, and my head is big."

"Find someone to calculate the accounts for you."

Lin Xiuqing shook her head. "That won't work. Doesn't that mean people know how much money we earned."

"You're stupid. Just let people calculate the salary. Dongqing will be your assistant, recording attendance, incoming and outgoing cargo there. You find another person specifically to calculate the salary expenditure. Once calculated, you just give money according to the list."

"Then... I'll ponder it."

They are still just a grass-roots team. Both husband and wife have no experience, are used to doing it themselves, can do it themselves, and everything is thought of and regulated temporarily.

Ye Yaodong also took the opportunity to tell her about reconciling the accounts with his father-in-law, and asked her to divide the tuna brought back to the neighbors later, and keep some for themselves. Half a piece is also several dozen jin, enough to divide.

The couple chatted while taking a bath in the room.

The bath water was cold, and Lin Xiuqing carried it out, letting him rest well.

The old lady asked concernedly, "Is Dongzi asleep? Let him rest well for a few days, and don't let him be too tired."

Lin Xiuqing nodded. "He docked in the city the day before yesterday, and rested in the city for two days before coming back after finishing things."

"That will also be tired. I forgot to let your father buy some ginseng to stew for him to supplement tonight. The old guy ran so fast."

"I'll buy it later."

Ye Yaodong just came back, and people kept coming to the door at home, but they were all sent away by the old lady sitting at the door. However, those who were closer didn't leave, and started playing cards directly at the neighbor's house.

By the time he woke up in the evening, their drinking game was also set up.

It was rare that Fatty was also there, a ready-made cook. He immediately ordered Fatty to tidy up that tuna.

They still had quite a bit of meat left at home, and a whole fish head. There was squid silk, dried squid, just right for drinking in the evening.

Fatty looked at the others, none of whom moved their butts after one game ended, and he was grabbed by the collar by Ye Yaodong and pulled up, then replaced. He was angry.

"You guys, are you friends with me just because I can cook?"

Ye Yaodong replaced his position and responded without even turning his head. "You know it too."

"Isn't it because your family are cooks, so we could mooch off your food and drink since we were little?" A-Zheng said with a smile.

Ye Yaodong laughed and replied, "What nonsense truth."

"Don't say, it's quite trouble-saving. Sneaking around to get things to eat since childhood, and there's always someone specifically to cook."

"Hurry up, who let you be a cook."

"I'm a boss now, why don't you say that?"

"Boss, what a big boss, you don't recognize brothers when you become a boss? When you were poor, you could cook for everyone. When you become a boss, you have airs and burdens?"

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he stood up, then pressed his shoulder and sat down.

"Come, come, sit for you. Let me serve our fat boss, light a cigarette and pour tea for the fat boss, and find a few little sisters to knead your shoulders?"

Fatty cursed and stood up again. "I'm convinced by you. I'll go, I'll go, can't I do it? Can my boss compare to you? Damn... everyone is sitting with their legs crossed as a master, and I have to serve you..."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder, then sat down to touch the cards and ignored him.

Ye Chenghu leaned over at this time. "Dad, give me money to buy rice sticks..."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and gave him an eye knife. "I just sat down, and you asked me for money. What if I lose? I didn't see you come to me when I came back. As soon as I sat down to play cards, you knew to come over for money."

"Then you were sleeping before."

"Go aside, there's so much food at home, and you still buy rice sticks. You won't be able to poop tomorrow."

Ye Chenghu didn't get the pocket money but didn't leave, just leaned against him to watch.

After he won money, he continued to ask for money in a low voice.

Ye Yaodong was annoyed and directly drew a dime to send him away, and then saw Ye Chengyang behind, so he also drew one for him.

Ye Chengyang pulled over Ye Xiaoxi who was standing next to him eating squid silk.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know what to do, looked at this, looked at that, and after eating a piece of squid silk, she licked her thumb clean.

Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Chengyang, and he ran away with a silly smile.

Ye Xiaoxi licked her thumb and licked her index finger, and only after licking it clean did she take out a piece from her pocket to give to Ye Yaodong to eat.

He looked at her shiny fingers and black fingernail gaps, and directly turned his head away. "Eat it yourself."

She turned and handed it to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu said in a milky voice, "Thank you, sister."

"Aqing, Aqing..."

"What?" Lin Xiuqing responded across a wall.

"Wash your daughter's hands, pick the fingernail gaps."

Ye Yaodong looked at the two little girls with disgust, two fingernail gaps, one dirtier than the other. I don't know what they were playing with, and they were still sucking them in their mouths.

A-Guang also said, "Then wash my daughter's too, pick it."

"Dongzi, when are you going out to sea next time."

"Don't know, just came back, there's a bunch of things, rest for a few days first, or just swap with my father."

He could tell his father the coordinates and sea chart clearly, and then after sailing out for dozens of nautical miles at sea, his father could also contact the other two. It's just that his father hadn't been there, so it would be hard to find, but fortunately, the old cousin could also drive the boat to lead his father.

But keep this for later.

"My house is almost built, you just go out to sea a bit later, eat the wedding wine before leaving."

"Also fine, anyway I'm not in a hurry, a bunch of things haven't been handled, does your stepmother have anything else to do?"

"No, I'm not at home often. Anyway, Huimei said she was disciplined by my father, and now she has returned to being as polite as before."

"Awesome."

A-Guang pouted, "People change when there is an interest relationship."

"Definitely, next month is Qingming Festival."

A-Guang couldn't help laughing, "I'll remind my father at that time." ===== CHAPTER 1354 =====
