Ye's father also thought of it. Could that 26-meter boat being built in the county shipyard be the one ordered by Uncle Zheng's friend?

When they went to the factory to visit, that boat was already being built there, saying it would be almost finished by the end of the year. This time matches.

He hurriedly asked: "Is it the shipyard in our county?"

"Yes, they are four brothers partnering to build it. I heard it's going to be... that maritime radio is the most expensive. Luckily, several people share it, and it's barely bearable. The money owed is not much, work hard for a few years and you can slowly earn back the capital..."

Ye's father stared, "Dongzi, isn't that the boat we saw?"

Ye Yaodong nodded. Didn't expect to be able to find out whose order it was by turning a corner. The world is really small. Sure enough, those who do the sea know those who do the sea.

Old Zheng looked at the father and son, as if they knew that boat, and was also confused, "Have you seen it at the shipyard?"

"Yes, when visiting the shipyard a few months ago, I happened to see that boat being built. Such a big boat, it looked quite majestic. There is only one that big in the factory, and others being built are only ten meters."

"Yes, so big, it's not something ordinary people can afford."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "If you want to participate in Mazu's birthday and sit at the table to eat a banquet, you have to register at the village committee in advance, otherwise there won't be enough tables arranged, and there will be no chance to sit at the table. There will definitely be many people, not just ten miles and eight villages, the whole county and the whole city, our Mazu Temple is the biggest and most prominent."

Except for the birthplace of Mazu, I reckon our village's Mazu Temple is the biggest now!

"Alright, we will go to register in a while. It just so happens that we are here, so we don't have to run a second trip. I reckon it will be very lively when the time comes."

"Definitely, I heard that the opera troupe has been set for five days. We have never invited an opera troupe to the door here."

They sat there, chatting while basking in the sun, from fishing boats to Mazu Temple, then to the opera troupe, and then circled back, chatting about various things that happened when working at sea.

Lin Xiuqing held the pen and paper on the side, calculated twice, and then interrupted them, "Calculated, the total of those weighed just now is 4463 catties. Uncle, do you want to calculate it? The weight numbers are all recorded on the paper. You also watched when I recorded it just now..."

"Alright, alright, it shouldn't be wrong, I'll take a look."

Ye Yaodong asked: "How much money in total, is it calculated?"

"1 jiao 4 per catty, total is 624 yuan 8 jiao 2 fen. Uncle Pei's introduction fee is 44 yuan 6 jiao 3 fen."

This fish is too cheap. No one wants it daily. If the quantity is large, it can be kept to barely sell for a little money, which is also handled at the miscellaneous fish price.

"Oh? Still calculating the introduction fee for Old Pei?" Zheng Uncle was surprised.

"Yes, it was also introduced by Uncle Pei, otherwise I wouldn't know Zheng Uncle yet. Although it is said to be a relative, this news cannot be given for nothing, and he can be considered to have guaranteed me, otherwise Zheng Uncle probably wouldn't trust me and couldn't help me store it for so many days."

"Hehe, you are still good at being a person, good at talking, generous."

"Where, where, this is what should be done. Look at the quantity, if there is no problem, I will let my wife go get the money."

Zheng Uncle closed the notebook and handed the paper and pen to Aqing, "No problem, we are not outsiders, how can we not trust you."

Hehe, then you just watched so carefully?

Ye Yaodong nodded and looked at Aqing, "Go get the money."

Ye's father smiled and said: "This trip, picking up 600 yuan on the road is also worth it. Deducting the labor cost of hiring people to kill fish, it should also be able to earn 600 yuan, right?"

"Deducting various expenses, there is not that much, but it's about the same, hehe, divide it into three parts, 200 yuan each is also okay, it's also picked up on the way."

"It's also quite good."

The money received in the morning hadn't been warmed up yet, and half of it had to be divided. Luckily, Lin Xiuqing had a pen to specifically record the accounts for every sum of money coming in and out.

She recorded the accounts of dried fish separately, and the trawler separately.

This way, it is clear at a glance when flipping through, so she doesn't know how much money came in and how much money was paid out.

After counting the banknotes twice, there was no problem, and only then did she lock the drawer and take the money out.

She does things more carefully, especially calculating accounts and counting money. She will count twice and count several times. When she walked out, she counted the money while walking.

When she walked to Zheng Uncle, she counted the money again, and only then handed it to the person with a smile, "Uncle, count and see if it's correct?"

"Alright, alright."

Having money coming in always makes people happy. Zheng Uncle dipped his saliva and counted with a full face of smiles.

And Lin Xiuqing took out another pile of banknotes from her pocket and handed them to Ye Yaodong, "This is the introduction fee for Uncle Pei. I counted it together. You send it to him later."

"Alright." Ye Yaodong took it, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket with one hand without looking.

"You should at least fold it a little, just stuff it in like this."

"It doesn't matter?"

"Folding it makes it not easy to fall."

"Isn't it fuller, pushing the pocket to get stuck so it won't be easy to fall?"

Lin Xiuqing was stunned. Is it like this?

Can't understand...

Didn't argue with him either. As long as he doesn't lose it, it's fine. She changed the subject, "No sun, it's a bit cool, put on the cotton-padded jacket, to avoid catching a cold."

While talking, she also picked up his cotton-padded jacket from the stool, shook it a few times, and draped it over his shoulders.

Although it is said that the weather has warmed up a bit, when there is no sun, the wind blows, and it is still a bit chilly.

Ye Yaodong also took the opportunity to spread his hands and put it on, accepting her warm-hearted move, "Hmm, just now moving back and forth, I was hot and sweating, so I took off the coat. Now that I'm busy, you go watch the daughter."

"She is next door with the old lady, no need to watch. When the two sisters-in-law tease her, she giggles from time to time, and she plays very happily standing in the standing cage."

While the couple was talking, Zheng Uncle counted the money twice, and after there was no error, he smiled and said: "No mistake, the amount is correct."

"That's good."

"Then if I dry a large batch of dried fish next time, I will send it to you?"

"Sure, the more the better, I don't think it's too much."

"Alright, alright, your father is blessed."

"Where, where..."

Ye's father's old face was almost laughing into a chrysanthemum. He had been praised frequently recently, and he walked with wind. Ye Yaodong was not as spring-breeze-proud as him.

"Then I'll go first, come again next time."

"Alright, alright..."

The father and son sent the person out of the door with a smile. Ye Yaodong immediately rode his bicycle to A-Guang's house, and Ye's father also went next door to help with work.

During the day, the children all went to school, and the labor force was much less. It was busy enough for the couple to work.

Lin Xiuqing was also idle at this time, and it was not yet time to cook dinner, so she moved a stool and sat over to help, and by the way, watched Ye Xiaoxi.

Seeing her come out and sit at the door, the neighbor sisters-in-law also gathered around.

After waiting for a long time, they finally caught the opportunity, "Aqing, it's really not easy to find you to talk."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "Look at what you said, what's not easy, isn't it just living next door? If you want to find me, just shout, making it seem like my house is hard to enter, hehe."

"Your house is not hard to enter? Which family is like yours, raising a group of dogs, looking quite scary. Who dares to visit your house for nothing? Even if there is something, no one dares to come to the door."

"Exactly, every time I pass by your door, a group of dogs rushes out and barks, not to mention walking in. Usually, I have to go around your door."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, smiled, "The children at home like it, treat it like a treasure, so they have been raising it. Before, they said they would send two to A-Hai and A-Jiang, but after raising them at the door, they returned to me again. Otherwise, if they were divided, there wouldn't be so many."

"We are not talking to you about dogs, we want to ask you, do you want to collect those shellfish meat? We can also be like your two sisters-in-law, go to the sea island to dig some mussels, sea melon seeds, etc., and dry them to sell to you."

"Right, I wanted to tell you this morning, but seeing you all busy weighing dried fish there, and going into the house after weighing, I didn't catch the opportunity to say it."

"Yes, I watched you weigh dried fish all afternoon, and with so many dogs at home, we didn't dare to go in."

"It's rare to see you come out, so we hurriedly came over to ask you."

Several neighbor sisters-in-law were talking there, and their hands were not idle, helping to sort the shelled ones and helping to classify them.

No wonder she said that when she was busy earlier, she saw them looking back and forth, and thought they were curious, so they kept looking at the door. It turned out they also wanted to earn this money.

Looking at the two sisters-in-law who were frowning, she smiled, "I don't understand this, and I haven't managed it, and I don't know Adong's plan, and I don't know how much he wants to collect. When he comes back in a while, ask him."

Since Adong promised several sisters-in-law, he must also be thinking of selling this to earn money. It would be good to have more people go out to sea to dig and sell to them, but it is better to leave these words for Adong to say.

She also has her own little thoughts.

Looking at the expressions of the two sisters-in-law, one look and you know, they don't want to share this cake. If someone digs the nearby islands clean, won't they have no work to do? Won't they earn less money?

And after there are more people, the nearby islands are dug clean, and new ones haven't grown yet. They might have to look further away, and some islands are steeper and slippery, not suitable for climbing, and the danger factor is higher.

Nearby suitable islands are not that easy to find, of course they don't like to have a few more people to divide the money.

But for them, it's the same to collect from anyone. As long as the quantity is large, they can definitely earn a little more money.

Adong is used to being the bad guy, let him say it later!

She won't promise directly, anyway he will be back in a while.
