Chapter 564: Super Large Order

Lin Auntie went, and after a long while, ran back panting.

"Fortunately I went in time, they had just finished weighing and were preparing to calculate the money, just happened to stop them."

"Then wouldn't Acai be so angry that he jumped? Everything was weighed and recorded on the list, only to be reneged on." Ye Yaodong thought this was the second time for Lin Shu, Acai must be blowing his beard and staring.

"Hehe, no way, the money hadn't been calculated yet, so crossing it out is crossing it out. Acai just muttered a couple of times. They are back too, they are behind. One trip couldn't pull it all, my son stayed at the wharf to watch the goods, Old Lin is pushing the flatbed cart behind, I ran back a step first."

"Then weigh first?"

"Weigh, weigh, weigh, don't worry about him, he'll be here in a while, the sky is dark."

"Then go get paper and pen, weigh while recording."

"Oh, good..."

Ye Yaodong also went to get the large scale he brought on the flatbed cart, and incidentally asked Lin Auntie to get a shoulder pole. This bag was a few dozen jin, he could hook two or three bags at once, and it would be faster for the two of them to lift them with the shoulder pole to weigh.

Seeing that they were finally going to weigh, the villagers surrounded them and watched. A neighbor helped Ye's father lift the shoulder pole, while Ye Yaodong and Lin Auntie watched the scale.

"132 jin for these two bags, put them down... come two more..."

Just like that, weighing two bags at a time, in a short while they were weighed. Ye Yaodong took the paper and added them up. "552 jin of toadfish in total, 89 jin of miscellaneous fish, multiply..."

He bit the pen and wrote and drew on the paper. If he were asked to calculate orally, it would be difficult. After all, it was a three-digit multiplication, easy to forget while calculating. It was relatively easier to calculate on paper.

"30 cents a jin, toadfish total 165 yuan 60 cents, miscellaneous fish 15 cents... Ouch, I'm fucked, both are two-digit numbers, so troublesome... let me calculate... five nine forty-five carry four..."

Ye Yaodong calculated on the paper with worry, muttering in his mouth. Fortunately, there was a notebook to calculate, otherwise how would he calculate mentally?

Suddenly, he missed the calculator.

If there was a calculator, it would be easy.

Zero point zero, then press a few times and it would come out.

Why would he need to take paper and pen to calculate so troublesomely.

"Ah, calculated. 89 jin of miscellaneous fish, 15 cents a jin is 13 yuan 35 cents."

"Total is... let me calculate, 178 yuan 95 cents. Right, no mistake, should be this number, Auntie you look."

"Oh good, shouldn't be wrong."

"You calculate it yourself, don't make a mistake."

"That's good."

After handing the paper and pen to her, Ye Yaodong and his father started moving the dried fish onto the flatbed cart. Collecting them all in one trip was also easy, saving him from having to walk several households.

He said while moving, "Auntie, I didn't bring money with me, I'll go home and get it for you later."

"Good, good, don't rush, it's fine, still afraid you'll run away?"

After she verified it once, Lin Shu also came back. Knowing how much money was sold, he was also overjoyed. It only took a few days of effort, and he could sell it for dozens of yuan more than the wharf. His mouth couldn't close from laughing.

"At that time, seeing you guys left them, I followed suit, fortunately left a few days of goods, this time still have some to sell, can earn a bit more."

Lin Auntie tore down his stage and said with annoyance, "Now you're rejoicing again? If they hadn't come to collect, what would you do? Yesterday you were still muttering that you regretted it to death, saying if you had known you shouldn't have left them, should have sold all fresh ones to the wharf, saving trouble, and earning a bit less money is fine."

"Yesterday was yesterday, who can say for sure? Besides, selling in small quantities can also be sold slowly, just... just the time to sell will be longer, can also sell..." Lin Shu was stubborn.

"Sell your big head, sell. If a heavy rain comes, you'll cry and have no place to cry."

"Sigh... you're boring to talk to, why think of things so badly?"

Lin Auntie glared at him fiercely.

Ye's father quickly smiled to smooth things over. "Selling to us today is just right, you don't have to worry anymore. And you can take advantage of the good weather to boldly dry some more, maybe they will want them again."

"Left them back, toadfish were a bit less today, left 600-plus jin, miscellaneous fish also have 3 baskets not weighed. Unload these, I still have to go to the wharf to pull another trip."

"I'll help you unload." Ye's father went over to help lift.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Auntie moved the bamboo bed into the house again. After finishing, he said, "Oh right, Auntie, just treat these sacks as bought by me, I won't pour them out and change them, I'll calculate a bit more for you when I bring the money later."

"It's fine, it's fine, take them, just a few sacks, it doesn't matter."

"Need to, need to, then I'll go first."

These few bags of dried fish collected a total of 641 jin. He still had 360-plus jin of toadfish dried fish at home, and just collected 120 jin from the neighbors.

It's equivalent to the neighbors' collection being extra, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has to go to the city, so he'll take them to set up a stall to sell some in the early morning. Miscellaneous dried fish are cheap, and the portion looks sufficient, so they are also popular.

As for the work of collecting fishing nets at sea, let his father and Brother Asheng go tomorrow. Later, go call Aguang.

Let him go help for a day. Anyway, he is staying at home as a nanny all day, idle is idle. His father is at home, not afraid of no one at home.

After returning home, Ye Yaodong said so to his father, and Ye's father nodded.

"I originally thought about hiring another person, then calling Aguang to lend a hand is also good. Anyway, his father is at home, collecting goods has his father."

"Mm, as a son-in-law, if you're too busy to handle it, you have to use him ruthlessly when you should."

Lin Xiuqing smiled. "Own family's work hasn't been done, yet has to be used by the brother-in-law."

"Isn't this what should be?"

"Then when you send the money to Lin Shu, incidentally go to Aguang's place and say, let him keep today's goods, don't sell them, and don't sell the subsequent goods either. His family has two boats, if all are kept, the amount dried won't be small."

"Mm, also have to go apply for the tractor again, this is almost becoming my exclusive use."

"Dream on, the Mazu Temple is still being built there, it's just that your time is right, both are in the early morning, and on the way, otherwise it wouldn't be able to pull you."

Ye's father heard this and looked toward the Mazu Temple, but it was pitch black, and he didn't see anything. However, he had seen it when passing by yesterday.

"This construction is a bit slow, estimated to be finished by the beginning of next year."

"Not considered slow, so many workers are working, it's just that the area is built a bit larger, the stones needed are many, the excavation is relatively troublesome, relatively slow, and rainy days can't be worked."

"Go deliver it early, Adong, go early and return early. It's already 7 o'clock after being busy for a while. Arrange it early and return, sleep early."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong took the money she handed over and went out again.

Busy in and out since returning in the afternoon, busy like a spinning top. Except for sitting down to eat, his butt hadn't touched the stool. Fortunately, he had eaten early, so he didn't have to work on an empty stomach.

After arranging everything, he could sleep peacefully, and then continue to get up in the early morning to move goods and follow the tractor to the city.

This time they were familiar with the road, arriving an hour earlier than expected. The sky was just beginning to brighten, and rows of tall, straight figures were already standing on the playground, making Ye Yaodong gasp in admiration.

"These soldiers are quite hard-working, in the middle of winter, getting up to drill before dawn. We can at least sleep in occasionally."

"Hehe, being a soldier is quite popular, the benefits are good, it's not something anyone can be if they want to. This is glory."

"Mm, let's go, hurry and deliver the goods, go set up the stall early, can sell a bit more."

"Good."

This delivery went very smoothly. Group Leader Zhao didn't require all toadfish dried fish of the same variety, just said he wanted 1,000 jin. Ye Yaodong sold them mixed the day before yesterday, and this time it was the same.

However, he saw that after weighing, there was still a bag and a half left, over 100 jin of miscellaneous dried fish, and he actually wanted them all.

"This miscellaneous fish is fragrant when steamed for drinking, and fragrant when paired with rice. That toadfish dried fish is better when stir-fried, relatively fragrant."

"Yes, if Group Leader Zhao wants them all, then there are about 130 jin here, count it as 100 jin price."

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. Being able to clear them all out, he was saved from having to go to the market to sell slowly, saving him quite a bit of trouble, and he could go home early.

"Good, then thank you."

"You're welcome, I originally wanted to take the rest to set up a stall, if you want them all, I'll save trouble."

"Do you dry them all year round?"

"Not necessarily, mostly in autumn and winter, because the north wind is better for drying. Spring has a lot of rain and heavy dew, so not much is dried, only occasionally. Summer has many mosquitoes and flies, so it's not hygienic to dry, so in autumn and winter, as long as there is weather, basically they are all drying dried fish and dried vegetables there."

Group Leader Zhao nodded. "Looks like we have to collect a bit more and store them there?"

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed upon hearing this. If they could definitely say they wanted to collect more, then he would dare to tell the villagers to dry more when there was weather. Otherwise, without a definite word, how would he dare to tell the villagers to dry in large quantities?

"Does Group Leader Zhao definitely want to collect more? If definite, I'll tell the villagers to dry more when there is weather, otherwise I don't dare to dry so many and put them there. In case of rainy days, if you want them, we don't have them, and we have to look at the weather to dry."

"And our countryside is leaking badly when it rains, the quantity is too large, and it can't be stored. Your military shouldn't be, right? You collect them in advance and put them there, anyway they won't go bad, the military has many people and consumes them quickly."

Group Leader Zhao thought for a while and said, "That's what's said, but it won't work to hoard too much at once. How about this, from now on, you deliver 1,000 jin to me every 5 days, it should be enough for consumption. Can't eat them every day, every meal, have to arrange them at intervals. Deliver until the New Year first, how to arrange after the New Year? I'll pre-order with you in advance."

Ye Yaodong calculated silently in his heart. There was still a month and a half until the New Year, 45 days, that's almost 9,000 jin to deliver!

Super large order!

He didn't have to set up a stall anymore, just the military consumption was enough!

Really met a noble person!

Ye Yaodong was so happy that the waves in his heart kept rolling.

If the 9,000 jin were all his own goods, he could earn two or three thousand. If all were collected from outside, he could also earn nearly a thousand yuan!

Mixed together, drying some himself, collecting some from outside, earning two thousand before the New Year was definitely no problem! ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
