Chapter 1427: Paying money

~11 min read 2,190 words

Ye Fu hadn't followed him again after going out to sea again in the second half of the month, and didn't know he had ordered another fresh-collecting boat.

After coming back at the end of the month and hearing him say it, his eyes were shocked.

"Three? Didn't you say ordering two would be enough? Then how much money is that? Is what you earned in these two months not enough?"

"Not enough, but what I earned in the second half of the year is enough. Anyway, it's not given all at once. I gave 100,000 deposit, and agreed to gradually inspect later, and give 50,000 by 50,000 after inspection."

"Give slowly? That's fine."

"Hmm, just treat it as regular savings. Earn a big sum every once in a while, and then go pay a few tens of thousands, which also happens to urge them to do it."

"Then fine, anyway you've already ordered."

"Let you know, don't say it when you go back, wait until I say it."

Ye Fu knew this was talking about him ruining things last year, causing them to quarrel, glared at him, and didn't speak.

Ye Yaodong was taking out the account book to organize. Today is January 31st, and their boats at sea all came back today.

Originally, everyone discussed passing around the 31st here, and going home in early February, which was about the middle of the twelfth lunar month, still half a month before the New Year. Going home at this time could still rest.

He had been busy for these few days, only calculated the goods sold every day, and calculated the income of each boat selling goods by the way.

The total share that should be given hadn't been calculated yet. Now that there were more boats, there were quite a few more accounts.

A large pile of accounts, he had to calculate until midnight every day, and every day he felt that the hair on the pillow was increasing.

And, the workers' salary hadn't been calculated yet, which was also a big project.

Ye Yaodong looked at the neatly placed account book and calculator, grabbed the straw on his head frantically, pressed 0 several times frantically, and felt a little more comfortable.

"Everything is fine, why are you so irritable?"

"You calculate accounts all day long, you try to look at these numbers, is your head big or not, annoying or not, calculated wrong and have to do it again, annoying to death, hair all fell out."

"Is there so much?"

Ye Fu stretched his head over and looked, it was indeed a pile of lists...

Fortunately, he wasn't literate, otherwise would he have to do it?

"Then... then you calculate slowly, some of them haven't come back at night, still outside selling goods, calculate accounts tomorrow."

"Calculate accounts tomorrow, then I definitely have to calculate in advance at night, and the workers' salary definitely has to be calculated at night, pay it tomorrow, let them have money to go out and buy some New Year specialties to take home tomorrow."

"Why don't you just give them some, salary, wait until you go back and let Aqing calculate, isn't it fine? Give them all, still worried about them losing it on the road, not easy to explain when going back."

"I'll calculate a sum at night. Aqing also has a pile of work at home, also has to pay a pile of salary, all busy near the New Year."

The workers' salary is actually simple, the boat boss's share is quite troublesome to calculate.

"Then you calculate slowly, I'll go out and listen to what everyone is chatting about, so excited."

The noisy sound outside, the sound of talking, the sound of laughter, endless. These two days they were going back to rest for the New Year, no need to work, everyone was relaxed, and also very happy.

Ye Yaodong sighed, listening to the lively sound outside made his head even bigger.

"Ask for an accountant who can calculate accounts next year, specially to calculate goods lists, calculate prices, calculate salary for me."

Ye Fu's steps to go out stopped again, turned his head, "Asking someone to come over to calculate accounts, would it be not so good? How much money is earned, everyone knows."

"I'm still afraid of being known? You think everyone can't guess, everyone knows I didn't make less money, just short of knowing a specific number. Wait until I go back and find a reliable accountant, and then beat him to keep it secret. All have to rely on me to pay salary, will be obedient. Anyway, the money is in my own hands, don't let others handle it."

"That's fine, anyway the money is in your own hands, just responsible for recording accounts, then help you calculate the amount of each boat, help you check accounts."

"Hmm."

Anyway, after calculating once, when checking accounts with other boats, still have to check again with others, and then pay after no problem, no need to worry about mistakes.

After asking someone, he only needs to be responsible for checking accounts, a little easier.

Otherwise, now that there are more boats, calculating accounts every day has to take him several hours.

Obviously very tired after sending goods back, but still have to record accounts and calculate accounts, otherwise there will be new accounts the next day.

Now it makes him annoyed to death. In these few months, he lost a lot of hair.

He really doesn't want to calculate accounts next year. Anyway, ask someone to do it, and check it after calculating, a little easier.

New Year, new atmosphere, take advantage of the New Year period to go home, and then ask someone to follow him to work as an accountant next year.

"Then you calculate slowly."

Ye Yaodong responded without raising his head, and then sighed and pressed the calculator again.

From the noisy sound outside, to the bustling, and then to the quiet night, he didn't have time to take a look.

And his father lay down to sleep, he was still fighting with his hair.

After calculating until 1 o'clock in the morning, he barely calculated the accounts and salary, and then lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning, he wanted to sleep in, but was woken up by the excited workers outside.

He also had to wake up cursing.

"What time did you sleep last night?"

"One or two o'clock, didn't sleep enough, a bit dizzy."

"Then after paying the salary, let them go out to stroll, this way it will be quiet, no one will be noisy, and you can check accounts again in the afternoon after eating?"

"No need, all up."

Workers actually thought about whether salary would be paid when they got up early. Most of them were basically empty-pocketed, just waiting for the salary to be credited, and then go out to stroll and buy something to take back.

As soon as they saw Ye Yaodong get up and open the door, one by one they were like wolves seeing meat, all looking at him excitedly.

"Don't look at me, don't be anxious, give you the salary after eating."

"Hehe, thank you boss..."

"Thank you, Proprietor, Proprietor makes a fortune..."

Those who call boss are newcomers. Old people generally call him Adong or call Dongge.

But Ye Yaodong felt that all the pores on his body were opened when he heard one boss after another. Comfortable, and his mood was also very good.

And as soon as he got up, his friends all gathered around, asking him how to give the New Year red envelope to the workers?

How to give the old man's red envelope and the newcomer's red envelope? How to calculate the salary?

After all, it's New Year in the middle of next month, and basically they are resting from going back these two days until the end of February.

Ye Yaodong had already thought about it last night. The new workers only came up for half a month, so give two yuan each to mean it, and give ten yuan to the old workers to ask for good luck.

After all, there is still half a month before the New Year. These workers are all on paid leave, and they won't open work so early after the New Year, which is equivalent to giving a month's salary for February.

"Newcomers also give a month's salary for nothing? Can't be, right? Came up and didn't do much work, also calculate a month's salary, then this period of time is also busy for nothing, might as well not sail up."

"Right, can't give so much, you just invited thirty-something people up, if all give a month's salary for nothing, it will be several thousand yuan..."

Ye Yaodong said: "Newcomers of course don't give. Newcomers came up for 20 days in total, and actually went out to sea for only a week to half a month. It's not bad to give a New Year red envelope. After going back, give each person a New Year gift, see what date it is when arriving home, and make up the salary for these few days, already very cool."

Those old workers basically have been with him for at least a year. New Year in mid-February, they have to give for the month before and after, which is also the default practice.

"Right, already very cool, didn't do much work, received so much salary, and red envelopes, and New Year gifts."

"This way is fine, originally didn't do much work, calculate by day before the New Year, and give a red envelope to mean it, already very okay."

"We also discussed it early this morning, and also thought so. It's just wanting to ask you, and communicate with you. After all, you have many workers here, everyone basically looks at you."

"Hmm, hurry up and cut the red paper, I calculated accounts until midnight last night, and didn't prepare, also have to ask my father to help prepare red envelopes. After paying the workers' red envelopes, we will check accounts again, and settle the goods payment that should be given to you."

"Alright, calculate accounts clearly, and can go back in these two days."

After eating and paying salary, Ye Yaodong didn't have to specially mention how to pay February salary.

Just say one sentence that the salary is calculated until the end of January, and then give a red envelope to each person, and give a New Year gift after going back, everyone is already overjoyed.

"Line up, don't all surround."

The bowls in front of Ye Yaodong's dining table had been collected, and the table had been wiped clean, with a stack of banknotes and red envelopes placed.

Just waiting for when they line up, then when to pay money.

His account book had been turned to the page of the salary calculated last night, and how much money each person had was written clearly.

"Boat boss and deputy don't line up, wait until the end to pay separately."

"Alright!"

A few more people came out of the crowd, happily standing on the other side to wait.

They knew that the salary they received was different from the workers, relatively special, and much more than the workers.

The workers' salary is now divided into two grades, one old, one new, so the amount is also two, and the distribution is also very fast.

After paying the ordinary workers' salary, he put away the remaining money and went into the house, and then let those boat bosses and deputies take turns to receive their separate share.

And instructed them not to communicate with each other, be defensive, keep the money well, after all, they have much more than the workers, a very large sum.

Some people were not at ease, so they deposited the money with him first, thinking about waiting until going home to receive it, just taking a red envelope.

Ye Yaodong also agreed, it made no difference to him.

"Dad, everyone finished paying, it's your turn."

Ye Fu rubbed his hands excitedly. "My turn, how much do I have? Deposit the share with you, just give your mother the basic salary, I'll just receive a red envelope."

"Give you 2000 yuan, red envelope give you 100."

"Good good good, then your red envelope give me 10 yuan is enough, the remaining 2090 yuan put with you first."

Ye Yaodong was speechless for a while, his father was really cautious.

"You deposited it with odd numbers."

"That's for sure, I have nowhere to spend money, 10 yuan is enough for me to spend."

"Alright then, plus the previous 2000 yuan, you have 4090 yuan with me."

"Alright, Dongzi, you say how much interest can this 4000 yuan have in the bank?"

"Then I don't know, every bank's interest rate is different, wait until you go home and ask."

Ye Fu was beautiful. "I've thought about it, deposit the money there, just spend the interest when the time comes."

"Right, spend less, save more for me."
