Chapter 1355: Solving

The next morning, Ye Yaodong didn't wake up until nearly 8:00, when he was called by Lin Xiuqing.

This was what he had instructed the day before: the workers would come to work at 8:30, and he had to go and get busy, directing people to work.

Ye's mother knew his plan the day before, so yesterday afternoon she had people filter the fish sauce that could be filtered but hadn't been filtered yet, and put it into some empty vats.

All containers that could be freed up were freed up as much as possible, and the residue was continued to be made into second-grade sauce, and the emptied containers were cleaned.

Now it had been airing for a night and was almost dry. Ye Yaodong could point and direct people to move them as soon as he went over.

He was also swift and decisive.

After looking around and having a count in his heart, he immediately had the workers take the big vats and big wooden barrels that his mother had washed clean, and pull them one by one to the harbor with a handcart, and then move them onto the boat.

As long as it was something related to fish sauce, everything that could be moved was moved to the city, not leaving a single one behind.

The remaining fish sauce in vats could be piled in the corner of the wall, used for supplying and replenishing goods in the surrounding area.

Then, for the 100,000 jin of squid, he arranged to unload about 20,000 to 30,000 jin this morning and move it to the dried fish workshop next door.

Ye Yaodong specifically listened to the weather forecast last night. It was cloudy turning sunny today, and tomorrow as well, so he could rest assured to get a part of it done first.

He planned to have people divide it into two parts: one part sun-dried dried squid, and one part cooked and torn into strips to make squid silk.

Anyway, he had plenty of cargo. Once this batch was done, the next batch would come.

Several big pots had already been set up in the workshop, and the boiling water was bubbling. As soon as the squid was moved in, it was put into the pot before it even thawed.

Those old aunts had been idle for a few days and had long been waiting by the pot with sleeves, unable to wait to work.

Handling this squid was also convenient, much faster than killing fish.

After boiling, scoop it out with a draining basket, open the belly, remove the head, cut the body part into strips, and then use a rope to string it up to dry. After it dries, tear it into small strips later.

Everyone was working on the cooked ones first, as they didn't need to be thawed to be boiled, and then worked while waiting for the rest to thaw, so they could kill and spread them out to dry as dried squid.

For a whole morning, both workshops were bustling with people coming and going. The women were busy inside, and the men were moving and unloading cargo in and out, working in full swing.

Those who were watching the fun stood at the door and looked around while talking.

Although Ye Yaodong didn't do the work himself, he kept going back and forth directing and talking, and he was busy all morning without stopping.

There were quite a few containers fermented in the fish sauce workshop before, and the open space outside was piled full. Those vats and barrels took up a lot of space, and they took up the same amount of space when moved to the boat.

It made him have to point and direct people to stuff a little more of the dried fish in stock at home into those barrels, just to transport them in one trip, otherwise he always felt it was a loss of fuel money.

After loading was almost done, after lunch, he let a few workers each drive a boat and send them to the city together.

And he called in advance to instruct Wang Guangliang and the others to go to the harbor to pick them up before dusk.

After the boats moved, he finally sat down to catch his breath, and then relaxed, starting to patrol slowly.

The efficiency of the old aunts was also very high. In one morning, both workshop construction sites were covered with squid, all cooked and dried, with upper and lower layers staggered, drying in many layers.

When it was time to dry the fresh ones that had thawed in the afternoon, they were separated and all dried on the beach by the side of the beach where kelp was dried last year. Anyway, just wait until the evening to collect them into the workshop.

Since they were strung up with ropes to dry, collecting them was also convenient, collecting a whole line at once.

Lin Xiuqing followed and worked for a whole day. By the time the sun went down, her waist couldn't straighten up, and the key was that the cargo unloaded this morning hadn't been completely tidied up yet.

"I'll have those aunts work overtime tonight to continue working. I don't know when the weather will change. Take advantage of the sun today and hurry up and dry it."

"Hmm, I don't think we need to collect the cargo on the beach tonight. Arrange five or six people to guard it there at night."

In the village or at his own door, it was still somewhat reassuring.

"Hmm, no way, the quantity is too large, must hurry up and air-dry. Oh my, my waist..."

Ye Yaodong reached out to rub her lower back. His hands were big, covering a wide area, and one hand could press half her waist.

"Don't do this, we're outside."

"What are you afraid of? We are a legal couple, not hooligans."

"Wait until the evening to listen to the weather forecast. If the weather is good the day after tomorrow and the day after that, have people move a little more down to dry tomorrow. Will it thaw if it's always left on the boat?"

"Closed space, not so easy to thaw. Look at the situation tomorrow and unload a little more."

"Hmm..."

Ye Yaodong walked by her side, rubbing her lower back as he walked.

Before they reached the door, they ran into Director Chen who was coming over.

"Busy?"

"Not yet, early. Don't you see there are people in the workshop, all working there."

"That means there's money to be made."

"That I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen the money yet. The cargo has piled up quite a bit, and I don't know if it will be stuck in my hands."

Director Chen nodded and didn't keep talking about this topic, but brought him a piece of news.

"The Advanced Youth reported for you before the New Year should have results in the next two days. You should be a sure thing. Once the results are out, you have to go to the city in person to receive the award, receive the honorary commendation, and take photos. Don't go out to sea in the next few days."

"Ah, so fast?"

"What's fast? It's not fast. It's about this time every year."

Ye Yaodong was full of smiles. "Fine, then I'll stay at home for the next few days and not go out to sea. How can you be so sure that I'm a sure thing?"

"If you're not a sure thing, who is? Didn't you go to the city to receive the city's commendation last year? You are the representative of fishermen and have been commended by the city. Who else is more suitable than you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the kelp won't be harvested until next month, I could go and blow it again. Although I can't release a satellite, just speaking truthfully, you are also a typical example of leading the whole village to get rich."

"It's too late to take this to say now. In the second half of the year, I'll go to the county to promote you well and help you establish a typical example and strive for honor." Director Chen said with a smile.

"Oh my, then I'll trouble you to spend your heart, hahaha. Come, come, let's go home and talk slowly. There is squid silk dried on the boat at home. Bring some back later for the children at home to eat."

"That's not necessary. I just saw you were back and pondered coming to remind you, to avoid you going out to sea for a month or so as soon as the weather gets good, and then there's no one to receive the honor. It would be a pity."

"Good."

"And kelp will be harvested next month. If you are not in the village, my heart will be up and down, afraid of not finding you."

"Know, I have a count in my heart, remember it. If I'm not there, Aqing will also help weigh and collect the cargo."

"That's good."

When Ye Yaodong returned yesterday, he saw that the sea surface was black and heavy everywhere, all kelp growing.

In the past, there were small boats around the coast, but now small boats have to go further out to put nets.

If the harvest is good this year, everyone can make money. Next year, the scale of the village will definitely be larger. Their village's kelp farming can be considered successful. In the future, villagers only need to follow the steps and do it.

And the village cadres will definitely promote it vigorously. By then, developing to the whole county will be unquestionable, just a matter of time.

It just so happens that it's almost lunchtime, so Ye Yaodong invited people to eat at home and took the opportunity to let the children at home call his father over early to accompany him for a few drinks.

Seeing Director Chen come to eat at home, Ye's father was also full of smiles and very enthusiastic. He first asked Ye's mother to get wine.

Ye's mother gave him a few eye knives behind people's backs and urged him to go out to sea early the next morning.

"Hurry up and go, out of sight out of mind. Drinking at home every day, not calling this one, then finding that one, a bunch of reasons."

"What's the hurry? Their boat has to go for two days before I can go out to collect cargo. They just went out at night."

The old lady immediately said, "You can drive Dongzi's new boat and go for him. Didn't you agree? He handles things at home, you swap with him."

"Who told you we agreed?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father with a smile. "Dad, I think so too. I definitely won't have time to be at sea for a long time recently. That boat was bought for a lot of money, and it can't be left idle. I can only count on you. Can you and I swap temporarily?"

The old lady said, "Dongzi has so many things, you should help him more and listen to him more."

Ye's mother also followed up, "He still has to make squid silk, and partner with people to make a canned fish factory. The village is counting on him. You hurry up and swap with him. Anyway, you are idle."

"How am I idle? I also come and go, very busy."

"You are busy, you are busy, you are busy drinking."

"Without me helping him share, can he do so many big things?"

"It's all your credit! You are so capable, I didn't see you let me enjoy happiness a few years ago." Ye's mother said unhappily.

Ye Yaodong saw his mother was about to start fighting again and interrupted her.

He was talking about business, and the two old people were interrupting and bickering.

"I'm serious, Dad. I'm very busy, and I told you yesterday. That boat was bought for a lot of money, and it can't be left idle. I can only count on you. Can you and I swap temporarily?"

Ye's father nodded. "Fine, I have no opinion. I didn't say I wouldn't go. They all seem to think I'm in the way now, and don't they all have to count on me?"

"Right, exactly, don't they all have to count on you to help me? Otherwise, how could I do so many big things."

Ye's father was satisfied. "It was originally like this. At home and at sea, inside and outside, how can I be missing? Drinking is also doing business, connecting feelings with people, and dealing well, so that we can talk well in the future."

"Right, right, right, this necessary socializing and building relationships cannot be missing."

"Right, chatted so well with Old Chen yesterday, people called me Old Brother one by one, and said I am now a person with a face in the village..."

Ye's mother rolled her eyes. "People are going to die listening, just polite, you take it seriously."

"Just kidding, my father is of course a person with a face in the village now, just like you, mother, wherever you go, people have to blow you a few words."

Ye's mother couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth.

"Eat, eat, there are still a bunch of things to be busy with. The workers over there have started to be busy, and you have to go over there to watch."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father. "Then Dad, it's settled. Wait for these few days, I'll have them unload the cargo in the cabin, and you can also arrange it in advance. It just so happens that the boat workers can go out to sea with you after finishing the work in the workshop."

"Hmm, I can do it whenever you finish unloading the cargo over there."

After the meal, the couple walked towards the workshop, and Lin Xiuqing said with a smile.

"Mother is now all towards you, seeing Dad drinking at home every day, feeling it's an eyesore."

"Don't look at how much face I earned for her, and gave her gold jewelry for the New Year."

"When are you going to the city to ask godfather?"

"It's only been two days, no hurry. Wait for Hong Wenle to come over tomorrow. He didn't come yesterday, he will probably come today."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong asked the workers to unload another 20,000 jin early this morning, and what was unloaded yesterday had been handled by people overnight.

By the way, he also agreed with Director Chen yesterday to borrow the abandoned old primary school in the village and the open space by the threshing floor for him to dry for these few days.

Hong Wenle came in the morning. Just as he was directing people to be busy, he took the opportunity to take people to visit his two workshops here.

He had visited before, but this time the things being dried were different, and of course the experience was different.

Ye Yaodong also stuffed a handful of squid silk to him to chew and chat.

The two sat at the door of the workshop and finalized the cooperation matter. All the processing machines that needed to be obtained were handed over to Hong Wenle to arrange. Anyway, he had no path and didn't understand.

Just talking about this, his brain turned again.

"You can get the canned fish assembly line machine, can you also get the seafood dryer?"

He showed him the squid silk he was chewing, and pointed to the open space above, where cargo was dried in pieces everywhere.

"Look, I can only rely on the most primitive drying."

"Primitive drying is the best to eat, better than what is bought imported."

"Can do both. If there is a dryer, it's best. This also avoids the loss if it rains and nothing can be done."

"That's true, but there are also domestic ones now. Domestic ones are cheap, my path is imported, it will be expensive."

"Ask around, if there is, I'll make a comparison, and I'll also let my godfather help me ask about domestic machines, and ponder it at that time."

"Fine."

"Hong Wenle chewed on the squid silk and sighed, "Why didn't I think of making squid silk? Let you eat it alone. This thing is no worse than canned fish, and even more welcome. Canned fish is eaten by poor people abroad, and it's only sought after domestically. Squid silk is different. If it can be made into packaging, it will be more high-end..."

Ye Yaodong listened to his words and was also very moved.

It must be done into bags, but he couldn't become a fat man in one bite, he had to tidy it up slowly.

It was just that when he caught this big red squid, he patted his head and thought of making this squid silk.

Originally, he didn't have any big plans, didn't have any big business in his brain, only when he encountered it would he think and ponder whether it was feasible.

"Slowly... I'm already doing this, dried fish, fish sauce, and now squid silk, and partnering with you to make a canned fish factory. I'm also very complicated, step by step."

"Otherwise, let's cooperate on this too?"

Ye Yaodong laughed. "I've already started doing this, talk about it later. You'd better be busy with the canned fish factory first."

"That's true, I also have to step by step. The land is approved. Since you have no problem here, I'll have someone draft a contract later. After signing, I'll start construction and have the factory built first."

"Good."

Just finished chatting, the two calculated according to the investment ratio. He had four, Hong Wenle had six, and it was fully handed over to Hong Wenle to manage.

After all, he still had to make squid silk, and there were so many boats at home, and he didn't have extra energy. Partnering was also thinking of mixing in a foot, and sharing a cup of soup, otherwise there was too much cash in his hand...

It was because there was too much money that he had to toss and spend it, and it would be good to become an industry.

Just now he also argued with Hong Wenle, and only then occupied four shares, otherwise this kid only planned to give three shares.

The two chatted until noon. Ye Yaodong wanted to keep people for dinner, but Hong Wenle refused, saying he already had an appointment at noon, change to next time, rode a motorcycle and went away.

"Dong-ge, your friend actually has a motorcycle, it looks so awesome."

As soon as the person left, a worker leaned over to inquire.

After all, those who can ride motorcycles in this era are not ordinary people, and they are the focus wherever they go.

"I still think Dong-ge's motorcycle is majestic, his motorcycle is not as big as Dong-ge's."

"Isn't that nonsense? Dong-ge's are all eliminated from the military, how can his motorcycle compare."

Ye Yaodong laughed. "Stop blowing nonsense, mine is eliminated, his is new."

"I know this person, the boss of the restaurant in town, has a good relationship with Dong-ge, Dong-ge even gave him a tuna..."

"That's still Dong-ge's atmosphere..."

Ye Yaodong didn't pay attention to their flattery, first went to see the unloading situation in the morning. After Hong Wenle came, he had been accompanying him to talk and discuss things, so he just instructed and had no time to manage.

Only then did he go to see the unloaded cargo. Those old aunts were also talking one after another there.

"A-Dong, your friend just now rode a motorcycle, looked very majestic. Is he married? Introduce him to Dongqing..."

"Where is that young man from? Can ride a motorcycle, the conditions should not be bad."

Ye Yaodong glanced at Pei Dongqing, who was hanging his head and helping to light the fire. "He is an overseas Chinese who returned from studying abroad. The conditions are definitely not bad."

"Oh, then there's no play, that's too different..."

"Then you help introduce, are there any workers among the relatives..."

These aunts and aunts, regardless of whether they are idle or not, like to talk about this and that as soon as they sit together, and want to be a matchmaker as soon as they catch a young one.

There are also many young people in his workshop who rely on them to introduce successfully.

His work here is now popular, and even the people who work are popular. Walking out, their backs are straighter than others.

Ye Yaodong looked around and went to find Aqing first, to tell her about the communication with Hong Wenle just now.

And he also had to go to town after dinner to see the selected land. It was also agreed on the time just now.

Coming and going, he was busy at home for two more days, and then planned to go to the city to find his godfather.

Four or five days, whether it could be done or not, there should be news, although he wondered why there was no phone call.

He rode a motorcycle and arrived at the lunch point, just in time for Director Chen to be at home after work.

It was only a few days apart. This time he didn't bring a big bag of things, only a cigarette.

As soon as Director Chen saw him, he said, "You didn't come today, I also planned to call you tomorrow, let you come home for dinner on the weekend, and chat by the way."

"It's me who is anxious, hehe."

"Mainly because the machine factory hasn't replied yet. Director Yu of Industry and Commerce gave several phone numbers and addresses, letting you just call and contact them when the time comes. She said she had already called and talked about it."

Ye Yaodong's face was full of joy. "That's good, at least one thing is solved. The sales channel for cargo has a destination. If no one connects, these factories won't pay attention to people."

Who let his volume be so large that Acai had a headache.

Now that there are a few more factories, he can keep the cargo that is targeted.

"The number I wrote down for you, I'll get it for you. The machinery factory asked someone to ask, just no reply yet. I also thought that if there is no reply by Friday tomorrow, I will call you. This must be in short supply, all have to be reserved, have to ask for a definite one, can there be, when can there be."

"Fine, no hurry. Anyway, the weather has been good these two days, I have already started drying, wait to slowly tidy up, whatever there is, just tidy up. If there is really none, then I can only let friends get imported ones."

Director Chen nodded. "Friends having paths is also good, more paths, can also prepare more hands."

Ye Yaodong got the slip of paper, on which there were five or six numbers, names, and addresses.

He said, since there is news, it is impossible not to call him.

These numbers, wait for him to finish eating, then go out and call, contact well and then visit.

Take advantage of being in the city today, finalize this matter, and by the way, see what cargo is needed in these factories.

After going back, tell his father, let his father pay attention, what should be sold should be sold, what should be kept should be kept, and there will be no need to worry about too much cargo and not being able to sell after going out to sea next time.

"It's just a rural place, it's only been a few years since electricity was connected, the voltage is unstable, really getting the machine, still have to solve the circuit problem..."

"The eldest is from the power bureau, ask him later if he can apply, have to see how much power it is."

"Good, it's really troublesome enough, still have to trouble godfather to ask everywhere..."

Director Chen waved his hand. "It's not a big deal, it's originally a neighbor's enthusiasm. After it's really done, you thank them well."

"That's for sure."

"The meal hasn't been eaten yet, eat first, chat while eating, stay here in the evening, if there is news tomorrow, it just happens to tell you."

"Fine, I also happen to stay here for two days, visit all the ones on the list, and handle what should be handled."

"Hmm, strike while the iron is hot." ===== CHAPTER 1356 =====

"Alright, I happen to be staying here for two days, so I'll visit everyone on the list and get done what needs to be done."

"Yeah, strike while the iron is hot."
