Chapter 488: Five Times the Profit

~12 min read 2,312 words

Ye Yaodong asked about the basic information again before thanking them and returning.

Fortunately, their village was not xenophobic. This place also belonged to the border between Fujian and Zhejiang. Fishing boats coming and going in the surrounding sea area included those from Fujian and Zhejiang. Occasionally, when encountering any accidents, they would also stay in the surrounding towns.

And some villages also spoke Minnan dialect, which was a little different in tone from the real Minnan dialect in Minnan.

It's a pity that their village didn't speak Minnan dialect, but spoke "Man" dialect.

The dialect spoken in this border area was quite mixed, including Minnan dialect, Man dialect, local dialect, Wenzhou dialect, and many kinds of dialects.

He returned to his team, roughly told his father about the situation in the village, and said, "Someone here collects whole jellyfish, one for 2 cents, which is not cost-effective, not as cost-effective as selling them separately after processing. After processing, jellyfish head is 5 cents a jin, jellyfish skin is 4 cents a jin, jellyfish brain is 2 cents a jin, and jellyfish blood is said to be 11 yuan when dried. However, the jellyfish after processing shrinks severely."

"Really? Is it that expensive?" Ye Fu was moved, "Let's see when Chen Jianian comes back. Sell the ones on the boat first and see how much they can sell for."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Wait for him to come back and see. When the time comes, let's see if we need to rent a house in the village. How to arrange it still needs a plan."

Fortunately, he set off at night. Arriving now was still noon, time was still sufficient, and there was still time to arrange.

He asked Ye Fu to guard by the beach, and they dragged the jellyfish to the shore one by one in batches. After sixteen or seventeen trips back and forth, they dragged all the jellyfish to the shore.

Ye Fu was also counting there, "There are 65 jellyfish in total."

"These are big, most of them are thirty or forty jin, the big ones are sixty or seventy jin, there are not two that are more than ten jin, there should be about three thousand jin."

"There should be."

"Are we going to kill and process them immediately, Dongzi? Also caught a basket of fish, shrimp, and crabs, not many goods, probably about 30 jin."

Ye Yaodong looked at the people who were still dragging fishing nets on the beach, and the women on the shore who were busy slaughtering and processing. He didn't see Chen Jianian's shadow, thought for a while, and nodded directly and decisively.

"Process them, put those seafood aside first."

If not processed, just put them there and wait, they would die in a while. It's better to process them while waiting for Chen Jianian to come back.

Everyone immediately got on the boat to get tools and knives, as well as the baskets piled together, and processed them on the spot.

The three of them and Ye Fu had never done this work, and they were very raw. Their speed couldn't be compared with Ye Yaodong at all.

This big jellyfish was not like a small jellyfish. He could finish one in about two or three minutes, but they might not be able to finish one in ten minutes.

However, fortunately, not long after, Chen Jianian came back running.

"I've contacted them. The tractor from their factory is collecting goods in other villages, and it's agreed that the next trip will be sent to this village to collect our goods."

Ye Yaodong was immediately happy. It couldn't be better to sell them smoothly.

Ye Fu's heart was also temporarily put back in his stomach, and he said with a smile, "Then I have to trouble you to wait on the shore. We are starting to process new ones now."

"Okay, anyway, just contacted, it shouldn't be that fast. I'm idle anyway, so I'll help you work together," Chen Jianian rolled up his sleeves and went to get a small knife.

He didn't have gloves, so Ye Yaodong handed him the jellyfish with the poisonous tentacles that could sting people removed.

Although the villagers in the village were curious that there was an extra boat from another village here, everyone was very busy, and no one had time to manage them. Moreover, they were very law-abiding, didn't walk around, didn't affect others, and only stayed in place to process.

Ye Yaodong and the others had work to do, and their attention was diverted. They didn't keep thinking about when the tractor from the factory would come to pull the goods.

It wasn't until they finished processing the jellyfish that they suddenly realized the tractor hadn't come yet.

Chen Jianian wiped the sweat from his forehead and appeased, "It shouldn't be that fast. The tractor collected goods outside and had to be sent back to the factory before it could come out. Let's wait and see."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. It had been 3 hours since they docked. He was prepared to wait another hour. If it didn't come again, he would ask the people in the village to solve the problem of eating and accommodation tonight first.

Originally, if time was sufficient, he also wanted to find a village that could speak Minnan dialect, so that long-term living communication would be more convenient, and they were all common languages, which would be more intimate when going out.

They waited in the shade for more than half an hour, and they also killed the fish by the way, before they saw a tractor appearing on the shore, clattering towards the beach.

Everyone looked forward with hope, and Ye Fu asked excitedly, "Is it this tractor?"

Chen Jianian was a bit uncertain, "I'll go up and ask."

After the tractor went down to the beach, it stopped there. All of them waited in place, only Chen Jianian ran up to inquire.

Not long after, Chen Jianian ran over with a smile, and the tractor also drove over beside him.

"It's this car!" After he ran closer, he said again, "It's this car. Just went to ask the name of the factory, and asked the driver's name, and they all matched. Let's go to the boat to unload the goods."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Then let's weigh the ones that have already been processed first? After weighing and moving them onto the car, we will go to the boat to move the remaining goods down."

"Okay."

"Then let's weigh these first."

Two people also came down from the tractor and said in Minnan dialect.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and Ye Fu said happily, "You also speak Minnan dialect. It's a coincidence. It's convenient to speak the same language."

"Yes, the dialects spoken in these ten miles and eight villages are different. It's better to speak the same language. Come, come, come, weigh first."

The tone is different, but it doesn't affect their communication. Generally, speaking is still no problem, and they can understand.

They took out a large wooden pole scale from the back of the tractor.

When going out, it is more convenient to carry a wooden pole scale. The wooden pole scale they carry can weigh 400 jin of things. Two people lift it to weigh, and weigh it several times and add it up.

Ye Yaodong could only roughly estimate the weight of the jellyfish before. After the jellyfish head and jellyfish skin were weighed, he knew the weight with certainty.

The jellyfish heads caught and processed by the way totaled 928 jin, and the jellyfish skin was 776 jin. After removing the useless internal organs and jellyfish head and jellyfish brain, I don't know how much it shrank.

The price was the same as what he had just inquired about. The jellyfish head was 5 cents, and the jellyfish skin was 4 cents. Just the wave they dragged back just now sold for 77 yuan, 40 cents, and 4 cents.

Ye Yaodong and his son heard them calculating there, and their mouths were split wide with happiness. If the introduction commission was deducted, there would still be more than 73 yuan, and there were jellyfish blood and jellyfish brain that hadn't been boiled yet.

Just this wave of casual fishing was enough for their oil money and the wages of the people hired, and they could still earn a lot.

Ye Fu's mouth couldn't close with a smile, and he hurriedly said, "Our boat is over there, and there are still some on the boat. Those have already been simply processed, and the jellyfish head and jellyfish skin have been pickled with thin salt."

"Okay, pull it up first to see how much salt content there is, and then deduct it."

Everyone moved instantly, full of energy.

The villagers who were processing nearby also curiously came to ask which factory it was, and also took a look. They didn't say anything about the quantity they had just caught.

Their goods also had fixed introducers to collect.

However, returning to the team, they were discussing who the people on Ye Yaodong's boat were, and they were all guessing there.

More than 20 bamboo baskets were piled on the boat, and there were more than ten nylon bags tied up without baskets. They lifted them down from the boat slowly in groups of two.

And Ye Fu and Chen Jianian saw that the two people had waited for a long time and were a bit impatient, so they hurriedly took cigarettes and gave canned food to appease them.

"You have to be prepared next time before saying. Our time is also very tight. We still have to go to other villages to collect goods. Originally, we didn't come here today."

Ye Fu and Chen Jianian hurriedly accompanied with a smile.

Ye Yaodong walked towards the sea with his back to them, and rolled his eyes fiercely. Who knew when you would come? Is it certain to come? If you didn't come, they would have to load it up when they unloaded it, which was so troublesome.

Back and forth, after unloading for more than an hour, they unloaded all the goods, and even the jellyfish brain and jellyfish blood were moved down by them.

After checking the salt content inside, they still followed the stupid method, two people lifted the scale to weigh, and the weight was added up time after time.

This wave of goods was quite a lot. It took them more than an hour to weigh, and all the goods were weighed.

The jellyfish head was 2262 jin, the jellyfish skin was 1585 jin, the jellyfish brain was 321 jin, and the jellyfish blood was 32 jin 6 liang, which was really no different from home.

It was just that the jellyfish head and jellyfish skin were pickled with salt, and the shrinkage was more severe, and the weight was only 1/3 left.

After weighing, they were calculating the price with an abacus there again.

The abacus was clicked and clattered, and the father and son were also looking forward to it.

"Jellyfish head 113 yuan 10 cents, jellyfish skin 63 yuan 40 cents, jellyfish brain 6 yuan 40 cents 2, jellyfish blood 358 yuan 60 cents, a total of 541 yuan 50 cents 2 cents. Deduct the weight of the salt, count as 520."

Ye Yaodong heard the words and split his mouth with a big smile, and Ye Fu was also very happy.

A total of more than 100 yuan of principal was spent, which directly doubled five times. It's a pity that because the jellyfish was pickled with salt, it shrank by 2/3. Otherwise, if it only shrank by half, doubling seven times should be no problem.

Ye Fu couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he didn't strongly oppose it at that time. This trip was really the right one, and he caught up with the fishing season and could continue to earn.

The other three people couldn't help but click their tongues. It was said that it was collected for one cent, but after this processing, it doubled five times in a turn. Isn't it too much?

It really made Dongzi earn it!

This trip was almost catching up with the money distributed by the production team in a year in the past.

Ye Yaodong habitually pulled two cigarettes for each of them again, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, two comrades for your hard work. When can I get the money?"

"In two days, just ask your introducer." The person weighing took away the blue printed paper padded under the list, tore off two bottom sheets, and gave them one each.

"Okay, the goods have been moved to the car, let's go first."

Chen Jianian hurriedly said, "I'll go with you for a trip, and by the way, see a friend."

"Okay."

He looked at Ye Yaodong again, "I'll go to the factory to see, and come over later. You should be staying in the village tonight, right?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Yes, we'll go rent a house in a while and stay there tonight."

Someone followed to the factory to see, and they could be more at ease. As for whether Chen Jianian would run, he didn't have this worry.

The two orders of goods added up to only 600 yuan. The fishing season would last for another month or two. They could still catch them next, and he would call his two brothers over. Who knows if the introduction fee for him would be more?

In terms of sustainable development, there is next year? And the running monk can't run away from the temple. ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
