Chapter 1361: Daily Life

With two drying machines, the shipping of squid strips was significantly faster. The whole day of the second day, thousands of jin were produced.

Lin Xiuqing had long ago bought clean sacks in advance, double-layered ones, with an outer layer and an inner layer, and it was transparent nylon, so it wouldn't touch the outside, clean and hygienic, to prevent dampness.

After the squid strips were processed, they were packed into bags, tied up, and then transported to the city.

As for the workers tearing squid strips by hand, she had also arranged for a few young girls early in the morning, counting them as temporary workers.

Ye Yaodong slept until he woke up naturally. When he got up to patrol, he saw two bamboo beds pushed together in the open space inside the workshop, with 10 young girls sitting around, wearing aprons and sleeve covers, specifically tearing squid strips.

It was arranged like this last month too, but at that time Aqing habitually called middle-aged women to work, so the ones doing this work last month were also a bunch of women.

He heard Aqing complaining to him, saying that those women were all stealing and hiding it. It was fine at the beginning, but who dared to steal and hide a little in their clothes pockets, later they even dared to sew big pockets in their clothes and secretly stuff it in. It was only better after a few were discovered and dismissed.

Later, Ye Yaodong let her call young girls.

Because young girls are thin-skinned, and there are many men working around, in order to maintain their image, they would definitely eat less, and would be even more embarrassed to do the stealing and hiding. They still wanted a good reputation.

While middle-aged women are all old hands, and their skin is a bit thicker.

Look, a bunch of young girls sitting together chatting and laughing while working, isn't it more pleasing to the eye?

Just looking at it makes one feel good.

Listening to the laughter makes one feel refreshed.

He didn't have any wandering thoughts, but everyone has a love for beauty.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing saw him, she immediately came over and complained.

"Look at the idea you came up with before, letting me call young girls over to do this. Look at those men who keep crowding over."

"Give them a knock, if they don't work seriously, then don't work."

"All morning, there hasn't been a shortage of people around those girls. A bag of squid strips isn't full yet, and there are people constantly coming up to check, fighting to carry them to the warehouse."

"Isn't this quite active?"

"Active what, they're all staring over here to curry favor. The aunties over there have to call them if they want them to move goods. In the past, they were very observant and didn't need people to say anything. If I had known, I would still have called a few married women."

"I'll go give them a knock."

Lin Xiuqing followed by his side, "Next time, don't call young ones."

"What's wrong with this? It'll be fine after a knock. Can currying favor be more important than work?"

"That's hard to say, 'lust is a knife above the head'."

"Don't change them, these young ones are quite good, don't just have a bunch of old aunties."

"Is it that you want to look too?"

Ye Yaodong laughed and put his arm around her shoulder, "Looking isn't against the law, right? I just think it's quite good to have vitality, anyway, it's not any technical work."

"Think about it, our squid strips are all handled by young and beautiful girls, separated strand by strand. Compared to those separated by old aunties, isn't it more comfortable for people?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said lightly: "No, I think they're all the same."

"Uh... then compare it to the elderly, what do you think?"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him.

Ye Yaodong asked bravely again: "Cough, one is squid strips handled by the elderly, one is handled by middle-aged aunties, and one is handled by young and beautiful girls. Which one do you buy?"

She pinched the soft flesh on his waist and twisted it, "Who pays attention to this when buying things? Those fish are still killed by old aunties, do you not eat them?"

"That's not it, hehe, I'm just giving an example, just talking about it. Old aunties naturally have better knife skills. Look, you also think it's more of a gimmick to let them do it, right? Anyway, it's not any technical work."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him again.

Ye Yaodong said: "The girls in our village are all very diligent, 15 or 16 years old, they can do everything inside and outside the house, and they must be given a chance to earn money."

"You must not have any wandering thoughts..."

"What are you thinking? I'm more than a round older than them. Don't listen to those old women gossiping all day. Who said men become bad when they have money?"

Those old women tell Aqing every day to keep a close eye on him, damn it...

It's better to change to more young ones to work.

"Hurry up and work. You go to the warehouse to check the receipt of goods, I'll go give them a knock."

"That's fine."

Ye Yaodong put his hands in his pockets and walked out again, preparing to go to the next door to see the results of the small half-morning, he had to rely on this to get rich next.

It's just that he saw the sky today was a bit gloomy. The weather forecast last night even said it would be cloudy turning to light rain today. He felt it was a bit ominous.

But what should be done, the workers still had to do as usual, after all, it hadn't rained yet.

After he saw the results this morning, he also went to find Aqing and talked about it.

"I know, looking at it today, it feels like it's going to rain, maybe in the afternoon. I've also told them, if it rains later, hurry up and collect the goods, and then leave them for roasting."

"There is a rain shed on the roof of the workshop next door, so there's no need to worry about it getting wet, and it can still continue as usual. Those goods always have to be processed, and after processing, leave them for drying."

As long as there is a matter and an arrangement in the heart, it's fine.

After staying for a while, he went home, planning to ride his motorcycle to the town to check the progress of the fish cannery before it rained.

Having been busy for a month, he hadn't had time to look.

The site area wasn't considered to be inside the town, but on the edge of the town, in the large open space outside the range.

At this time, brick walls had already been built, and iron gates had been installed, and there was a security room.

However, the main gate was wide open, and the inside was empty, with only buildings and houses, and workers coming and going.

Ye Yaodong rode his motorcycle in and no one stopped him, only people looking at him with curiosity.

Hong Wenle appeared after a while and also explained to him that the current progress was almost there.

It was just an empty factory building, so he just strolled around, stayed for a while, and asked about trivial matters like when the machines would arrive and whether workers had been recruited.

After asking about the approximate situation, he rode his motorcycle away again.

Production hadn't even started yet, so there was actually nothing to stay for. He just wanted to look and see, care and understand the progress, and by the way, see what had been done.

On the way back, the sky turned gloomy. Before he got home, he was drenched like a drowned rat. By the way, he also slowed down his speed and drove back slowly.

At this time, many people ran out of the mountain road entrance, all children, each with a large string of light cakes hanging around their necks.

Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and many people swept graves in advance today. These children all took advantage of the lunch break to beg for grave cakes.

Ye Yaodong drove slowly, but heard a few shouts halfway.

"Dad... Dad..."

"Third Uncle... Third Uncle..."

He stopped the car and looked at a group of children rushing down from the mountain by the roadside.

In an instant, these people surrounded his car.

"Damn, in this gloomy weather, you still run to the mountain to beg for grave cakes? You don't go home after school!"

During the time he was questioning, they had already squeezed into the sidecar and climbed onto his back seat, distributed well.

It was also fortunate that there were only five or six people together, and they could still squeeze in.

"Where are the others?"

"Still on the mountain, Dad, let's hurry home, I'm drenched..."

"My cakes are all wet..."

"Put them in your schoolbag, are you stupid? You ran to the mountain to beg for them with such difficulty, I put them all in my schoolbag..."

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Is the family short of this bite for you? You still have to run up the mountain for a few cakes. Go back and your dog legs will be broken."

He let the children around make way, otherwise the car couldn't pass. These children were all surrounding the car with envy, chattering about envying his family's children.

"It's different, Third Uncle, this is what we went to the mountain to beg for ourselves."

"Go back and wait to eat the whip."

He drove the motorcycle away.

When he returned home, he complained fiercely, and suddenly his ears were full of wailing.

Only his family's two were temporarily not being dealt with. It was raining, and Lin Xiuqing was busy taking people to process goods, and he was also in a hurry to help.

Those two were relieved, and could quickly change clothes and eat first, then run next door to watch the fun and gloat.

Finally, before their parents had time, they cleverly carried their schoolbags and went to school, escaping a disaster.

By the time Ye Yaodong had time to want to give them a beating, the two were already gone.

He cursed, "Save it for tonight and beat them together. It's a rainy day, and being idle is being idle."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the wet clothes on the floor and also cursed, "There's so much to eat at home, and they actually ran to the mountain to beg for grave cakes. Isn't that not as tasty as those cakes?"

"Not tasty." Ye Xiaoxi held a small piece of light cake in her hand, gnawing while saying.

"Not tasty, and you're still eating?"

She stretched out her finger and pointed at everything edible in the room, "This is not tasty, this is not tasty, this is not tasty, none of them are tasty."

"Quite picky..."

"Where is it picky, she's sick of eating."

"No wonder she's a bit thin."

She said proudly: "I'm beautiful again."

Ye Yaodong was amused by her, "Where is it beautiful?"

The little milky voice said again: "Everyone says I'm the most beautiful."

Lin Xiuqing laughed and said: "She has that pocket of squid strips, goes out for a turn, whoever praises her, she gives them a small strip. Now who doesn't praise her as the most beautiful in the whole village?"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Must share..."

Lin Xiuqing exposed her again, "Because she's sick of eating, feels it's not tasty, so she wants to take it to share."

Ye Xiaoxi was rarely a bit embarrassed, pouting, "It's that everyone wants to eat."

Ye Yaodong patted her head, "Then do you think you're beautiful?"

"Beautiful!"

"Cute?"

"Cute."

"Smart?"

"Smart."

"What about the face?" Ye Yaodong pinched her face.

"Gone!"

Lin Xiuqing was overjoyed, "Haha, where did you learn that."

"Dad said it to Mom in the quilt..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't laugh anymore.

Ye Yaodong also coughed, "What nonsense, go out and play."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the pouring rain outside and was puzzled, "It's raining..." ===== CHAPTER 1362 =====
