Chapter 657

~11 min read 2,049 words

After the dilapidated military green big Jiefang truck started, all the fellow villagers retreated a few steps, watching this bold car turn around with longing and awe, rattling and slowly driving away.

Contacting a big Jiefang truck at such a close distance for the first time, not only were the children excited and surging, even the adults had some surging emotions.

"This big Jiefang truck is indeed majestic! Such a big car, wherever it goes, it has face, everyone has to treat the driver well..."

"Yes, why didn't Adong treat them, and just let them go?"

"They are in a hurry, we can't delay them from earning money." Ye's father explained with a smile.

Lin Xiuqing didn't want the fellow villagers to keep staring at their family and discussing, so she changed the subject and patted several children, "Are you still not going to school? The car is gone, and you are still watching here. If you are one step later, it won't just be standing punishment, but also board beating."

"Yes, yes, go, let's hurry up and go to school, chase after it..."

"Ah yes, chase after it..."

"Chase chase chase..."

Others were reminded of this, and instantly realized that they could chase after the big Jiefang truck while going to school, killing two birds with one stone.

Suddenly, a group of children each carried their own canvas bags, and rushed out like a gust of wind, hurriedly chasing that big Jiefang truck.

"Slow down, be careful, don't follow too closely..."

"Don't run too far, remember to go to school!" Ye Yaodong was a little worried. Don't let this group of rabbits follow and forget to go to school.

None of the group of children birded them, and had long since jumped and ran far away.

"Adong, how much money did your 3000 catties of dried fish sell for?"

"Didn't earn less, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Ye Lao San is blessed, his son is so capable of earning money..."

"Can retire."

The fellow villagers are just so honest and straightforward.

Ye's father's dark red face was filled with joy, laughing until he couldn't see his teeth, answering for him: "Where can I earn much? Toad fish dried was collected at 3 jiao, this is all capital. Don't look at the pile of Great Unity collected, 3000 catties itself has to be paid 900 yuan. When people buy so much, we also have to calculate it cheaper. Can't earn much, can't earn much, it's all hard-earned money..."

Ye's father waved his hands while talking, and followed Ye Yaodong and the others into the courtyard.

The fellow villagers whispered to each other, nodding constantly, and felt that what he said made sense.

So much capital is not something ordinary people can afford. If they were to pay...

Definitely no one would be willing to earn this money. Where would they be willing to spend so much money to store things at home? What if it doesn't sell and it smashes in their hands?

And, it sounds like it really didn't earn much??

Ye Yaodong didn't care about everyone's whispering, and went home on his own. He hadn't finished his porridge earlier, and after getting busy for a while, he was even hungrier.

Lin Xiuqing saw that his friends had all entered, so she bolted the courtyard gate, didn't care what people said, and then immediately greeted A-Zheng and the others.

"Have you eaten breakfast? Do you want to boil a few bowls of noodles?"

"No need, no need, we have already eaten breakfast at home. It's just that we heard that a big Jiefang truck came to the village, so we followed out to watch the fun and walked this way."

"Dongzi, this business is really getting bigger and bigger, right? Even a big Jiefang truck was dispatched to load goods."

"Stop bragging blindly, that's not my car. If I could afford it, I would drive it around the village three times, enough to show off."

Ye Yaodong sat back in his seat, propped up one leg, and shoveled the cold porridge in.

"Three times is not enough. If I could really afford it, I could drive ten times around the village."

"You said it! I'll remember it, and bring my little ones to drive ten times then."

"No problem!"

A-Guang also pulled a stool and sat down, seriously saying: "Dongzi, I think your dried fish business is really selling very well. Is it that the dried fish sells well, or is the market location good? Seeing you earning so much money, I regret not listening to you at the time and buying a shop."

"Don't!"

Ye's father hurriedly interrupted, "It's good you didn't listen to him. Your Big Brother and Second Brother's shops are still smashed in their hands, and he himself has a shop left empty as a warehouse. Your boat has income as soon as it's bought, which is much more reliable than his shop."

Ye Yaodong gave his father a white look, "Now doesn't mean the future."

"That's true, what you both said makes sense."

"I think Adong, will your thousands of catties be enough to sell?" A-Zheng asked.

"I don't know either! Who knows how much can be sold? I'm also trying my luck to sell it!"

He himself is still a novice. Except for retail, he doesn't know who to sell to. The boss also came to the door himself, and it was because the shop was opened there that he squatted and waited for it.

"Hey, I'm serious. How about I go to the market to specifically collect these fresh fish, and then kill and dry them to sell to you? The quantity can be a bit more, and you don't have to be that busy. You just need to sell it, how about it?"

Ye Yaodong bit his chopsticks and looked at A-Zheng in surprise. Someone who is usually so straight and impulsive can actually think of this idea?

"Hehe, why are you looking at me like that? I'm also thinking that you don't have enough to sell anyway, and the fishing season for toad fish is almost over. After the spring, the trawlers will all be miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and crabs."

"Unless you run into a school of fish, otherwise you won't have a large quantity of the same kind of dried fish. You can only have those messy miscellaneous fish, and those miscellaneous fish can't sell for a price."

"And, you are a trawler yourself, and you have a big boat, and you have a shop in the city, and you have to go to the city to check accounts and deliver goods occasionally. You can't be busy even if you split yourself in two, right?"

"My brother is loyal. I will collect goods in the market and solve your worries, how about it? This way, collecting it yourself and killing it, you can get all the same kind of dried fish, which is easy to sell, right?"

"Looking at the posture of the boss just now, their carload of goods definitely won't worry about selling. I see that besides dried fish, there are other things on that car."

Others heard this and their eyes lit up. This is possible!

Ye Yaodong actually thought about this problem some time ago. These fish are seasonal, and some will migrate. Trawlers really have a hard time dragging the same kind of fish, unless they run into a school of fish or use targeted fishing nets.

That targeted fishing can't specifically catch such cheap fish. Catching them is also a chicken rib for others. Catching them will at least catch something valuable. These not-so-valuable ones will only be incidental.

However, the market is sold in categories, and collecting them is naturally easier.

If there is A-Zheng specifically collecting fish and killing and drying them for him in the back, solving his worries, that would naturally be good, and he wouldn't have to worry about having no dried fish to sell.

Although he could also collect them in the market himself and ask people to kill and dry them, it takes too much time and is too troublesome. His mother and wife also have to follow and circle around there.

And Aqing has to go to the village committee to work. It was agreed last year to go after the New Year, but Xiao Jiu hasn't been weaned yet, and they can't bear to wean the child so early, so they can only drag it on, preparing to wait until the child is weaned in a few months before talking.

A-Guang couldn't help but praise, "Your idea is good, it's rare to see you so smart!"

Xiao Xiao also agreed, "Exactly, suddenly why is your brain so easy to use?"

"Looking down on who?" A-Zheng was unhappy, glaring at them, "I am also very smart. Just now when I entered the house and saw his house was empty and the goods were sold out, I had a flash of inspiration and thought of it."

A-Guang also said: "Dongzi, I think A-Zheng's suggestion is also okay. Anyway, he prepares the things well for you. You originally collect it at how much money, so you collect it at how much money. For you, there is no difference, and it saves trouble."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I actually thought about this problem before, just afraid it won't last. After all, who can say for sure about things at sea? Fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, just relying on our small tossing and turning, dragging a little and drying a little, I reckon it won't sell for long."

"Exactly, so you also agree with my suggestion?" A-Zheng's eyes shone, and he suddenly felt that he was really smart.

"Have you ever thought that your cost will be high this way? Road expenses, plus the labor cost of hiring people, and the price collected in the market is definitely higher than the price collected at our pier."

A-Zheng scratched his head and thought, "I think it should be okay, right? The capital cost is high, but it should also be able to earn money, right? It's just earning a little less than catching it yourself?"

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "I don't know either, I'm still groping in the dark myself."

"Why don't you try it? If you don't try, how do you know if it works? Anyway, as long as it's dried, Dongzi guarantees to want it. Even if you really lose money, you definitely won't lose much, right?" A-Guang instigated him.

A-Zheng nodded, "Right, anyway, I won't lose much. As long as you are willing to want it, I will go to the city to collect a few thousand catties first and dry a wave to see how much the cost is, and then see how much it can sell for after drying, and see if it can earn money."

"That's fine. If you are willing to try, of course I want it. I can also save trouble. Anyway, you look at what fish is cheap and delicious, then buy what fish back to dry. Like dried Balang fish, dried dragon head fish, dried eel, these taste good after drying."

"Alright, alright, then when are you going to the city? I'll go with you. You are more familiar, I have a sense of security following you!" A-Zheng said excitedly, he felt that he was full of energy now.

Xiao Xiao didn't wait for Ye Yaodong to speak, and asked with some hesitation: "Then if you plan to dry fish and sell it to Dongzi, will the trawler still go? That boat of ours..."

He had just been silent for a while, just thinking about this.

"It doesn't affect it. When there is no trawler, just go to the city to collect fish goods. We can't go every day anyway. Besides, when I go to the city to collect a large quantity back, I don't need to kill it myself. I have my mother, my wife, and four sisters, just call them to do it."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing. Gnawing in the previous life, and gnawing in this life, can't escape it.

However, it looks promising in this life, and it's doing serious business.
