Chapter 1364: The Layman is Here

Ye Yaodong saw him full of energy, and didn't forget to ask for credit for himself.

"Last year it rose by one cent, this year it rose by another cent. I directly calculated it all for the villagers. The price increase didn't fall into my own hands, it all returned to the villagers in our village."

Chen Shuji patted his shoulder happily, "Fine, fine, fine, I knew you wouldn't forget your roots, didn't misjudge the person. The price increases in these two years were all let to the village, letting us earn more, and you earned less yourself."

"The villagers in our village should thank you, thanks to you. Without you, the people in the village wouldn't have such good days in these two years, now everyone has hope."

Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "Should be, I am also a member of our village. Without the protection of the village, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks to you, now that I have some ability, it is also right to repay the village."

Chen Shuji had a gratified face, "Good job, the village needs more people like you, not forgetting roots, and not forgetting to pull the villagers when rich."

"It also depends on the support of the people in the village. Our village has also been flourishing in these two years. Under the management of the village committee, petty theft has decreased, and every family is much more harmonious."

"That's also because they earned money. The men are not at home, the women are all working hard to earn money on your side, the strength of the whole family is also in one place, the strength of the whole village is in one place, isn't it flourishing, the whole village is harmonious."

"Makes sense, the whole family is working hard to earn money, there is hope for the days, isn't there less conflict."

"Hehe, then the dried kelp this year is 8 cents, right?"

"Right, the year before last was 6 cents, last year was 7 cents, this year 8 cents."

The year before last, the village didn't do aquaculture, but that year wild kelp broke out, and a lot was scattered on the sea surface. The villagers picked it up, and he collected it scattered from the villagers at 6 cents.

Last year, asked Zhou Laoban, said he could add one cent, so he added it all to the village.

This year is also the same, directly added to the village, a total of 18 cents, 8 cents for the village people, 10 cents he earned himself, plus bearing the round-trip transportation.

Although it looks like he didn't earn more, the yield came up this year, and he actually earned more than last year.

He can also raise the retail price later. The money the village earned less can be earned in the market later.

Of course, letting the village people earn more, he definitely has to say it to let them know.

With the stimulation of price, it can also encourage them to do more aquaculture next year. What was earned less this year can all be earned back next year.

"Fine, then I'll tell them immediately, some got up at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night to go to sea to harvest vegetables, didn't dare to stop at all, worked until now, probably tired. Tell them, lift their spirits."

After Chen Shuji finished speaking, he went to tell everyone who was busy moving on the boat happily.

Those men heard it, and were also full of joy, very happy.

Everyone is not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, only hoping that payment can have a return, most afraid of payment having no return.

The news of price increase is considered exceeding expectations, one by one full of strength again, some even started shouting.

"Bumper harvest, have meat to eat..."

"Everyone hurry up and work, eat meat after finishing..."

"Work work work..."

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone's joy from the heart, chatted with Chen Shuji for a few more sentences, and then pedaled his bicycle back, also having to tell Aqing.

Lin Xiuqing didn't care that the extra cent was all earned by the village people. Last year, she just tossed it around and earned a lot. This year, it looks like she will only earn more, and it looks like it's even more effortless.

Last year, Ye Yaodong had to transport it to the city to shout, this year it's not worried about selling at all, old customers who know how to do it, and wholesale small vendors, all know where to buy.

Not to mention the bulk was reserved, maybe it's not enough.

"You decide, anyway, don't we also have a profit of 10 cents."

"Not that much, transportation also needs oil money, round-trip tossing also needs manual handling, and also warehousing, we still have to leave a part to hoard goods and sell slowly."

"But it can also earn a lot."

"Mm, earning is definitely going to earn, otherwise why spend this effort? This year the village just started doing it, earn less, let the village earn more, wait a few years and we'll earn more."

"Fine, as long as there is earning, you hurry back and change a pair of shoes, change a pair of pants, look at your bicycle, what it looks like, and it needs to be washed."

Ye Yaodong looked down at his feet, and both feet turned outward.

When eating, he wore liberation shoes when he went to the village committee to make a call. Who knew he ran to the pier again, and didn't think about the muddy road on a sunny day, so he didn't change into rain boots.

When he saw it, he was too lazy to turn back.

"Got it."

Responding with his mouth, he thought about waving to a few children after returning, calling them to wash the bicycle. They would naturally fight to do it, where would he need to wash the car himself.

The kelp drying work in the village was in full swing, and the women workers in the workshop were also busy, everywhere was a scene of prosperity.

The whole village was also filled with the smell of kelp, and kelp was hung in places with open space in the village. Even passing by the village entrance, one could smell the smell of kelp.

This is aquaculture carried out with the village as a unit. More than half of the people in the village have a share, everyone values it very much, and everyone will spontaneously help manage and supervise.

In order to catch up with the good weather to dry, the people in the village are all fighting hard, harder than the double harvest, working day and night to harvest and dry.

After the first batch was dried, it was pushed directly to Ye Yaodong's workshop by a flatbed cart.

He now has plenty of workers in the workshop, with dedicated people responsible for handling, weighing, and bookkeeping. The couple is also very effortless, just watching there and chatting with village cadres.

The first batch was weighed and the payment was settled on the spot. Everyone looked at the large pile of banknotes and was as happy as the New Year.

After the first batch, a large batch of dried ones was sent over every day.

Lin Xiuqing also arranged for the tractor to send goods to the city every day.

It was basically her busy there, while Ye Yaodong occasionally had to drive the fresh-receiving boat out to collect goods.

The two were busy from the middle and end of the month until the end of the month and still hadn't finished. There was still a large batch of kelp drying in the village.

They had to wait until everything was collected before they could come to an end.

Ye Yaodong was so busy that he didn't have time to ponder why the layman hadn't come yet. Anyway, he didn't worry about selling.

After having goods recently, there was no surplus in the first few days. Zhou Laoban sent a batch, the troops sent a batch, and the shop was also wholesaling and retailing in large quantities every day.

It was only later that there was surplus inventory, and it started to pile up slowly.

And before they finished the kelp work, the squid season at the end of the month started again.

Fortunately, the price was high at the beginning, and they didn't plan to collect it, so they could still have time to transition, finish the kelp matter first, and then consider collecting squid and drying squid.

When they were busy and dizzy, the layman finally came on May 1st.

Lin Xiuqing received a call from her dad, and before she had time to notify Ye Yaodong, he had already learned it from Lin's father first.

Ye Yaodong was driving the fresh-receiving boat out to collect goods at the time, and after returning, he directly weighed the goods to Acai, and by the way, went to the city to check the business, and was informed by Lin's father that the layman came to find him for kelp early that morning.

And said to wait until the afternoon to empty the car, and come over to weigh the goods early tomorrow morning, letting them prepare the goods in advance.

Hearing this news, he even specially stayed in the city for one night, and finally saw the person the next day.

Ye Yaodong sat at the entrance of the shop with his feet up early in the morning, helping to wholesale kelp. A stall was specially set up at the entrance, piled full of kelp.

Seeing people get off the big car from afar, he stood up and greeted them.

"Brother, finally waited for you, thought you didn't want it."

"Want it, how could I not want it, told you last year to leave me more this year, the few tons last year weren't enough to sell."

The layman had a dusty look, with a beard, looking like he had been rushing all the way, with no time to tidy up.

"Isn't this because there was no news all along? I even called the factory above, saying you came out early last month, and haven't returned, have to wait for this month. I thought you would remember to come."

"Definitely remember, things that can earn money, how could I not remember, I'll weigh ten tons first, have it, right?"

"Have, leaving it for you. Go to the factory over there to weigh the goods, I've already installed a phone in the shop here, if you have anything next time, call in advance to notify."

"Installed a phone? Not bad."

"My family also installed one, you can call my home directly if you have anything later, I'll write both numbers for you later."

The layman gave him a thumbs up, "Can do, this business is getting bigger and bigger, installing a phone is two."

"Where can I compare to you, let's go, talk while walking."

"What is that in your shop?"

Ye Yaodong looked in the direction of his gaze, "That's squid strips, want to taste?"

"You even tossed out squid strips?"

He tasted it while entering the shop.

"Didn't I get a super big boat? Caught a lot of deep-sea large red squid after the year, this thing is numerous and large, the key is that it's not expensive, so I dried some squid strips on the boat, felt the taste was good, later tossed it at home, these two months have sold quite well."

"This generally has to be produced by a drying factory..."

"I also got two small drying machines, most of it still relies on hand drying."

"You can do this, the drying factory is also set up? This kind of large machine is not cheap, there is only one factory above us that produces it, but the quantity is not much."

"There are many processing factories above you, many seafood products have processing."

"Abundant water products, no way, how do you sell this, get some for me too? When I came out, the whole car was goods from the factory, no way to bring it, can only get some private work on the way outside."

"Easy to say, the inventory is all in the factory, let's go, weigh the kelp first, talk after weighing, I also have a matter I want to talk to you about."

"What matter?"

The two walked out while talking.

Ye Yaodong asked straight to the point: "When are you returning to Zhou City, I want to go up with you."

"Then I might not be that fast, finally came out once, now there is still a little time, have to get some private work, estimated to be mid-month when I return."

"Just right, I can't leave for a while now, mid-month should be about the same."

"That can, can take you along when returning in mid-month."

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief.

Kelp hasn't been fully harvested now, his dad hasn't returned from sea, he can't leave for a while.

After his dad returns from sea, he has to arrange those goods.

The fresh-receiving boat's work is relatively easy to handle, directly promote a boat boss, specifically go out to collect goods and dock.

Anyway, the goods collected are directly docked to the city to Acai, Acai's side directly opens a cargo list, and the cargo list is also handed to Aqing.

Then, if his dad goes to sea for the next trip, it will be almost a month before he returns, enough for him to handle the matters in Zhou City, and return to arrange the whole boat of goods.

That's why he said he had no time recently, his dad would return before mid-month, and the time would just happen to coincide.

The layman asked again: "What are you doing going up this time?"

"I bought a piece of land on it last year, want to take people up to handle it, build some houses, so that when I go up in September, I'll have a place to stay, otherwise it's inconvenient to always rent houses, and the housing sources on it are also very tight."

"That's true, more and more fishing boats have docked with us in these two years, heard that the population increases by tens of thousands every year."

"Yes, since I've already bought the land, it's best to utilize it. The number of people I take up this year might be more. There were more than 200 last year, this year might be three or four hundred."

"Ah! Go..."

The layman was so surprised that his eyes widened, "Are you going to conquer Japan in the north? Want to take the whole village away?"

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "No way, everyone believes in me, all feel that following me has money to earn, this year everyone has got a lot of boats."

Just what he knew, there were more than ten households in the village looking for connections to buy boats everywhere.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your appeal is okay? The whole village listens to you? You want to take three or four hundred people up, that's not a small force."

"Hehe, we are going to earn money, not to engage in gangs."

"Then there's no difference, want to earn money, have to huddle together, scattered gangs on the pier above are really not few, if there are few people, you really can't fight, there might be some conflicts and you can go out, but can't return."

"Mm, so I thought since I have land, build it up, and when the time comes, our own people can be concentrated, and it's easy to handle anything."

"That's right, there are many migrant populations on it in these two years."

The layman sighed again and again, "Didn't expect your prestige in the village to be quite high, the whole village wants to mix with you."

"It's all thinking about earning money, and who let me have many boats? And the largest and best boats in the whole village, whole town, whole county, the workers I have naturally are many, then those other scattered soldiers all want to lean towards me."

"Cow, you are leading the whole village to get rich."

"Already is, the kelp you collected is what I let the village plant." ===== CHAPTER 1365 =====
