Chapter 1425: Adjustment

~10 min read 1,988 words

While the father and son were talking, the workers had already successively unloaded the local specialties, radishes, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables brought from the boats, unloading them basket by basket and sack by sack, piling them all over the ground.

They were also asking if the place to live was far, and had already taken the shoulder poles, organizing the ropes to carry them away.

Ye Yaodong answered the workers' questions, turned his head and looked at the sea surface again, not knowing where their boats were docked.

"Fatty didn't come up?"

"Yes, not on my boat, together with Aguang and the others. The boats are docked in different areas, and they also brought a lot of things. There are many people now, not easy to find, wait until we get home."

"Alright, then let's go back first."

Don't look at them having many things and many people, when they arrived home, Aguang and the others hadn't arrived home yet.

Because the places where their three boats were docked were not far apart, they waited for each other, one waiting for another. One could imagine how slow it was.

After everything was organized, they appeared at the door with big and small bags.

Fatty was covered in luggage and sat on the ground with a thud.

"Oh my mother, ancestor, finally arrived, exhausted me. If I knew I wouldn't come up, listening to your lies, making money at home is so comfortable, going far away to suffer this kind of crime."

No one cared about him. One by one, they moved the luggage and items in first, and then found a place to sit down.

Fatty sitting at the front door was particularly conspicuous. With that fat, Ye Yaodong felt he was almost 200 catties.

Before when he wasn't so fat, he didn't look short, just fat. Later he lost weight, now he is the kind of short and fat.

He walked over and kicked twice. "You are really developing horizontally, pay attention to the fat on your body, I'm worried that your bed will collapse when you sleep at night."

"Don't kick, don't kick, this trip up will lose at least 20 catties, now it must have lost 5 catties."

Aguang walked over and said, "Why do you think he came up? Is it because he wanted to come up? It was his wife who scolded him and let him come up, saying that the shelf bed at home let him sleep and collapse a few days ago."

"Said he was so comfortable at home that he didn't know how many catties he gained, let him go far away to suffer, see if he can lose some weight before the New Year."

Ye Yaodong looked at him with disgust. "Lose what weight, it's the time to go out of the pen before the New Year."

"Damn you, pull me, I can't get up."

"Go get a thicker stick, and get two thicker ropes."

"What for?"

Fatty looked at his instructions to the workers, and someone really went to get them.

When they brought them, they also curiously asked him.

"Adong, what are this stick and rope for?"

"Tying a pig, what else? You guys tie his limbs to the stick, carry him in, put him on the table, remember to sharpen the knife."

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone around laughed.

"I'm damn, your grandfather Ye Yaodong..."

"Screw you."

Fatty cursed and let the workers on the side help him stand up.

"Old man finally came to your territory, is this how you treat guests?"

"Are you a guest? Then what about the gift, who comes to be a guest empty-handed? Give me a thousand or eight hundred yuan, and I'll kill chickens and ducks to treat you well."

"Damn, I could eat at a restaurant outside for a few years with a thousand or eight hundred yuan, don't need your hospitality."

Fatty stretched his neck and looked everywhere, and then added.

"This place of yours is not bad, the territory is big and spacious, how many rooms are there? Dozens of rooms, and it's a building, upstairs and downstairs, and a big corridor. The eaves can shelter from rain and dry clothes and dry bacon..."

"I'll buy some back tomorrow for you to dry."

"I'm not here to be a coolie for you, and buy it back for me to dry? Do you think I love drying, love working?" Fatty retorted.

"You talk about bacon, I thought it was almost New Year, you were going to dry some bacon to send to me, how embarrassing, I'd better pay for it."

"Is that what they said, the canteen you are preparing to build?"

"Hmm."

"Just before docking, my eyes were about to go blind. There are so many boats here, so many fishermen, people squeezing people at the pier, goods squeezing goods..."

Fatty became more excited as he spoke, and slapped his thigh. "So many people must eat, just open a restaurant, it's guaranteed to make money, do it, must do it."

"Now you know why I called you up to make a fortune, right? I'm so good to you, I think of bringing you to make a fortune wherever I go."

"Good brother for a lifetime, I won't say words of thanks."

"Damn, even words of thanks are not prepared to say."

"Alright alright alright, thanks, thanks, thank you for eight lifetimes."

"If you want to thank me, come with something substantial. When the time comes, contract the canteen to you, eating in the canteen must be more favorable than outside."

"No problem..."

While joking, Ye Yaodong also led him to visit his venue here.

At night, find a place to sleep wherever there is an empty bed. Anyway, they all went out to sea, and there were many empty beds.

After visiting here, Fatty was extremely impressed by him, actually buying such a large piece of land, and already managing it decently.

When he first bought a small piece of land in the town to open a small restaurant, he had to hesitate, think and think. Dongzi bought several mu of land casually here.

Such a big place, and so many houses, it must cost a lot of money at a glance.

"Rest at noon, and then accompany me to stroll around? I just came up, not as familiar with here as you."

"Alright."

Aguang and the others just came up, didn't know the situation in these few days. During the time Fatty was visiting, they had already inquired about it from the workers around.

When they left, the fishing boats hadn't returned yet, and they should be back in these two days.

After they come back, they can also rearrange the workers, and then when they go out to sea again, their new boats and new workers have to go out.

Now that the fishing boats haven't returned, it's just right to rest, and let the new workers take a look everywhere.

Ye Yaodong wasn't familiar with the new workers, so he let his father handle the arrangements. He waited until the afternoon to lead Fatty to stroll around.

However, in the middle of the afternoon, he let others accompany him to turn around, and he had to go to the pier to collect goods.

He only had a little time after lunch now, and was very busy at other times, collecting goods, delivering goods, and arranging goods.

As for where Fatty was going to open a restaurant, how to open it? What were the rules? That was none of his business. He wasn't a cook, and he hadn't opened a restaurant. Fatty knew these better than him, and he would consider it himself, no need for him to worry blindly.

Specialization in the industry.

And heard that Fatty had already opened branches in the city over there, making a fortune. Opening another one here was also a small matter for him.

His cook family had many uncles, brothers, nephews, and sons, they would toss and distribute themselves.

Before going to sleep at night, Ye Yaodong also discussed and discussed with his father the distribution problem of the 30-something new workers brought up.

Also prepared to intersperse into the old boats, old leading new. His father also had to continue to go to sea to bring newcomers. They re-distributed according to the personnel list, deleting and reducing, drawing back and forth at night, and it took several hours to list them clearly, unlike before, changing at will, not so fixed.

The list was organized, and it also seemed more standardized.

He held the personnel list of each boat that was re-distributed, and felt that it was much clearer, and he also had a count of the workers in his hands.

Even his eldest uncle's Afan brother was arranged as a deputy. He had indeed endured hardships and worked hard for more than half a year, doing more work and saying less, performing quite well.

Also couldn't sentence a person to death for one mistake. How could they be cousins? If he grasped the opportunity, he would help by the way. He could afford the consequences now.

This was also what his father just said, letting him pull if he could. It was also a nephew his father watched grow up, and he also hoped he could be good.

"Do you want to take a look?"

"I'm not literate, you just remember it clearly, just look at it clearly yourself, I don't understand, just remember it in my brain."

"Then after the fishing boats come back, just distribute it like this. As for the salary, let's just do it for now. After the New Year, raise the salary of the old workers. There's no need for newcomers."

This way, differentiation could also be made, and the old boatmen would feel comfortable.

Ye Fu nodded. "Should be, can't have the same salary for newcomers as the old ones before."

"Now the monthly salary is 135. After the New Year, tell them when paying the salary, next year the old workers' salary will rise to 150 a month, and then rise by 10% every year."

"10%?" Ye Fu thought silently in his heart, feeling it was okay.

"This way, they can also work with peace of mind. Anyway, they can get a raise every year, and then promise them that if there is any accident, they will definitely be compensated."

It was not bad. After all, not everyone wanted to buy a boat to do it themselves when they had money. Doing it themselves had risks.

Following him was equivalent to exerting labor, steadily having money to collect, and what was earned could be saved. They didn't have to bear risks themselves, stable income.

A considerable number of people would think about flying solo, but this could also keep some people and attract some people.

"Then you just decide."

"The fresh-collecting boat will go out to collect goods tomorrow. I'll also let the fresh-collecting boat go out to notify them, and all come back together the day after tomorrow, announce the re-arranged personnel, and then go out to sea together."

"Hmm, this trip back and forth, almost half a month will pass. If I knew, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome. Originally, I planned to go home in February. Wait until I go home to arrange, and then re-adjust next year. Now tossing back and forth, it also delays things."

"Can't delay things. Aren't the boats still at sea now? It's just coming back for a trip. This trip also took 10 days, and it's about time to come back."

"Running-in also needs time."

"So now run-in before the New Year, and don't have to worry about personnel arrangements when going home for the New Year. Next year, it will still be the original team. Now it's just doing things in advance."

"You decide for yourself."

"See for yourself."
