Chapter 727

Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that his plan was also okay. This way, their own family could also earn money with two boats at the same time, and the other boat could be considered a partnership with Eldest Brother and Second Brother.

They each sail a boat, and they are all family. Water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields, and the money earned is all divided among the family.

We'll talk about how to arrange it later. Currently, we must earn the money for the squid fishing season first.

"Then do you want to discuss it with Father first? This still requires hiring people."

"After I wake up, I'll talk to Father about it. If he thinks there's no problem, I'll talk to Eldest Brother and Second Brother."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "In one squid fishing season, you can earn at least a few hundred, and at most one or two thousand. Two boats earn double. If one boat earns 1000 yuan, Eldest Brother and Second Brother can earn more than 600 each from the original 450 after deducting Father's 100, not counting oil money. One person can earn more than 100 yuan more."

"It's no different from us renting the boat to others. If we rent it to others, we can also split the account 50-50, and the expenses are all borne by others. This is equivalent to four people splitting it, and it becomes three people splitting it. Everyone can benefit."

"Yes, that's what I think. Anyway, hiring one person doesn't cost much money. If Eldest Brother and Second Brother have objections, at most, the wages for hiring people and oil money will also be counted as public expenses, which is still more cost-effective than renting the boat to others."

If this is the case, it is his eldest brother and second brother who benefit. After all, if he rents the boat to others and splits half, he doesn't bear the labor and oil money. If you really calculate it, he can get 60% in his hands.

And the partnership is splitting 1/3 of the two boats. If you have to bear additional labor and oil money, it's actually not much different from splitting half of one boat.

He rubbed his temples while thinking, feeling his head ache from calculating.

"After all, they have two people for one boat, and we have one person for one boat. In terms of share, we count as providing half, so they must bear the labor, so that it can be divided into three shares. Otherwise, they provide half with two people, and everything is public, and we provide half and only get 1/3, which is a bit cost-ineffective."

Ye Yaodong made her head ache from calculating, and what's more, the alcohol he drank at noon made his brain less clear after lying down.

"It's too complicated, messy, whatever. Talk to Father tonight first. If Eldest Brother and Second Brother have no objections and are willing to combine the two boats, just divide it into three shares. 1/3 of two boats is better than 1/2 of one boat, win-win."

"No, I mean the expenses must be stated clearly. Let them be fair. If it's public, it's unfair..."

Ye Yaodong felt she was a bit noisy, "They are all brothers..."

"Even brothers must settle accounts clearly. Of course, money matters must be stated clearly before partnering. If not stated clearly, when it comes to dividing money, various opinions will appear, and then there will be a fight."

"Hmm, hmm, makes sense, makes sense, talk to Father after waking up." Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and hugged her, responding vaguely.

It was quite clear originally, but as he calculated, he became confused again. It's better to take a nap first.

"You have to be clear yourself, how we should partner..."

Ye Yaodong saw that she was still muttering and talking non-stop, so he simply kissed her and blocked her mouth directly, saving her from nagging non-stop. He wanted to take a nap first and had to listen to her finish talking.

Lin Xiuqing slapped him twice, but was pressed under him. Aiming for a gap, she finally got a breather.

"Don't you want to sleep?"

"Didn't you make me energetic? Consume some energy before sleeping..."

Lin Xiuqing pinched him, "In broad daylight..."

"Broad daylight doesn't affect it..."

"Keep it down... mm-ah..."

After Ye Yaodong finished his activity, he fell asleep immediately, feeling that the state of emptiness after exercise was especially good for sleeping.

Lin Xiuqing tidied up and went out to hold the child. Until she coaxed Ye Xiaoxi to sleep, the family of three lay on the bed and took a nap together.

And the two boys had long been having fun on the beach, rarely having no adults to manage them today. Each of them played until they were covered in sand, and the buckets were full.

After returning home, the adults were still sleeping. They even secretly took a bath and washed their clothes in passing, destroying the evidence.

"Brother Ahai, these are cold, they don't taste good. What we ate at the banquet was delicious, hot and fragrant..."

"Shut up, you've been talking non-stop."

"Exactly, I'll beat you if you say it again!"

"Eating can't even block your mouth, I won't share with you next time."

Several children gathered together, surrounded a basket, ate the things packed back at noon together, and played on the beach all afternoon, all of them hungry.

But Ye Chenghu started telling his banquet story again, instantly causing public anger.

"There's also what I brought back inside, I haven't eaten it."

"Then tell Third Uncle not to waste money next time, don't bring you, bring me, I can definitely eat it all back."

"Pfft, that's my father."

"Is it amazing?"

"It's just amazing!"

"Shut up! I'll beat you if you talk again!"

"I'll beat you if you talk again!"

Everyone echoed, a pile of fists clenched and stretched out in front of him. Ye Chenghu had to shut up, but he was still very proud; his father was the best, and they couldn't envy him.

The old lady sat at the door watching these children arguing, her face blooming with smiles, "Don't always bully Chenghu, Third Uncle's house is still going to stew duck soup tonight."

"Exactly!" Ye Chenghu raised his eyebrows and put his hands on his hips triumphantly, "We brought back a duck after eating at the banquet, a very big one. I just saw Grandma chopping it at the back door."

"Damn it! Why am I not born by Third Uncle?"

"Shut up!" Ye Chenhai slapped Ye Chenghe on the back of the head, "Don't implicate me in getting beaten!"

"Why are you hitting me?"

"Because you talk nonsense and will implicate me, you idiot!"

"You're the idiot."

Ye Chenghe refused to accept it and rushed up, wanting to hit back. The two brothers immediately wrestled together.

"You pig brain... implicating me in getting beaten every day..."

"You're the dog brain, blaming me for getting beaten yourself..."

"It's all you..."

"It's all your fault..."

The two brothers greeted each other unceremoniously, and the chicken and duck droppings on the ground were wiped clean by them. The old lady stood up and shouted not to fight, not to fight.

The other children watched without surprise and ignored them, still squatting there eating and watching.

It wasn't until Ye Mu finished chopping the duck and entered the house that she heard the movement at the door.

She hurriedly took the whip and went out. The two inseparable brothers immediately separated and ran out tacitly, and the others were also very sensible, hurriedly carrying their baskets and running.

"A bunch of little rabbits, idle all day, fighting when there's food, skin itching, begging for a beating."

"Hehe, they gather together to play again after fighting..."

"I don't even know if they did their homework, running around all day long, their mother should beat them tonight."

Ye Mu nagged a couple of times at the door and went into the house to stew the duck again.

Ye Yaodong was awakened by the fragrance filling the room. He didn't know what herbs his mother put in to stew, but it smelled especially fragrant.

He lay there and brewed for a long time until he heard his mother's scolding outside the house and his father's voice, then he sat up.

He still had to talk to his father about the arrangement of the boats and ask for his opinion.

Ye Fu was sitting at the table, looking at Ye Mu depressedly, "It was clearly you who told me to taste the flavor and see if the meat was tender. Now you're going to blame me for sitting there."

"I told you to taste if the meat was tender, not to finish eating it and sit there without moving? No sense at all, and smoking, quickly bring these two bowls to the neighbors."

"You didn't say to bring them to the neighbors, wasn't I just sitting there?"

"I'm telling you to bring them now, don't nag me, go quickly."

"Nagging there yourself, and still saying me."

Ye Mu knocked on the edge of the pot with a spatula and glared at Ye Fu.

Ye Fu wasn't afraid of her, holding a soup bowl in each hand, still nagging, "Shaking after getting a few days of wages, even speaking firmly..."

"When did I not speak firmly?"

"I won't be as knowledgeable as you."

Ye Yaodong heard his parents bickering as soon as he came out, "What's wrong again?"

The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't worry about your parents, don't they quarrel every day? You woke up just right, the duck is stewed, let your mother fill you a bowl, eat it cold, chicken is not as good as duck, chicken is more poisonous, duck is cooler to eat, eating it is just right to go out to sea to earn big money at night..."

Ye Yaodong nodded. After resting for several days, the weather was good these two days, so he had to go out to sea at night. In passing, he scooped a bowl of seawater to see if the squid fishing season was coming soon.

The squid fishing season doesn't have a fixed date; this depends on the fishermen's own judgment. Sometimes it comes early, sometimes it comes late, depending on the squid growth situation that year. Discovering it early can also allow for early preparation.

Last year, their family pickled barrel after barrel of squid eggs, and he sent them everywhere. Aqing's natal brothers, sisters, and relatives all received a lot.

This year, he could get some bottles and jars to pack them up and see if they sell well in the shop?

Last month, he took a jar of fish sauce to the shop to sell, but people came to buy a pot from time to time, and it was almost at the bottom.

These rustic things in the countryside are actually quite popular, but because there are too many such things in the countryside, everyone can make them, and they are not valuable, so they send them to each other.

People outside don't know how to make them, but they can occasionally sell a little when put in the city.

He plans to try it too. There are too many, and their family can't finish them. It's good to take them to cash out. Originally, pickled things are not easy to spoil.

And he was also thinking about whether to take some squid to dry?

After all, after the squid fishing season arrives, the most numerous is squid. Dry some to see if they sell well. After all, fresh ones don't circulate as widely as dried goods.

Fresh ones can only be bought and sold in the surrounding towns. When they first come out, the price will be a bit higher, but later it will only fall day by day.

He thought that perhaps he could wait until the later stage when the price falls enough and won't fall anymore, and then he would keep a batch to dry himself.

Otherwise, the shop can only temporarily close and rest. When the fishing season comes, everyone goes to catch squid, and squid also accounts for the majority of the trawling goods, so his dried fish business will be hit.
