Chapter 764: Building a Small Workshop
But thinking always makes people think, dreams are always relatively beautiful, not letting people dream, what fun is there?
Ye Yaodong happily thought while his mouth split wide open, his ears filled with the various discussions of the fellow villagers, and he laughed all the way home.
Lin Xiuqing ran out under the urging of the old lady, and saw a group of people pushing flatbed carts walking towards their house.
She was originally cooking in the house, but the old lady kept calling her to come out at the door, saying that Adong was back, and brought a lot of people pushing flatbed carts back, letting her come out to see what was going on.
This person came back, why did he bring a lot of people and flatbed carts back? She also felt a bit puzzled, so she hurriedly wiped her hands on her body and ran out, welcoming them.
"Adong? Father?"
Ye Fu said with a smile: "Everyone is very enthusiastic, knowing that we have a lot of goods and have to push several trips, so they helped send them all back in one trip."
"Oh, that's it, then thank you everyone, trouble everyone to run a trip..."
"What trouble is there, it's on the way, let it go, we will push it into the courtyard and unload it..."
"Hey hey... we will do it ourselves, ourselves..."
"It's okay, just lift two frames each and it's done..."
Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, the fellow villagers actively helped him lift the squid frame by frame into the courtyard, and then after their polite thanks at home, they left happily.
"Fellow villagers, so enthusiastic today?" Lin Xiuqing stretched her neck and watched them talking and laughing and leaving.
"Thinking of drying the squid and selling it to me, earning a little more money, isn't it enthusiastic?"
"That's it, okay, I thought it was seeing you have three boats, made a fortune, so everyone actively leaned over to help."
Ye Yaodong smiled happily. "Should also have a little bit?"
"Look at how proud you are," Lin Xiuqing also happily turned around a few frames of squid, counted silently in her heart, "Is this the goods caught by you and father's two boats today? 22 frames, quite a lot, how many jin in total?"
"1122 jin, mother is not back yet, right? You go call people over to kill, kill and wash, hang it up to dry, I'll wash my face first... ah, my ancestor..."
Ye Xiaoxi didn't know where she came out from, standing in the corner frame, grabbing the squid and playing, as a result, she touched a full hand of black, and then she wiped it on her clothes.
Feeling like it was slippery and fun, she looked at the clothes on her body, she simply wiped the clothes a few times, and then touched the squid and wiped it on her arm...
A small person standing in the corner making trouble, no one noticed, until Ye Yaodong was ready to enter the house, he saw her actually wiping it on her face, and rubbing it back and forth...
The white and tender face was stained pitch black by the ink, only revealing a pair of black grape big eyes, and a pink mouth. Hearing her father call her ancestor, she turned her head and spread out two claws, looking at people innocently.
Lin Xiuqing was speechless when she turned her head to see, hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to hit her palm hard, but looking at the pitch-black hand, she couldn't hit it down.
"Why do you have to touch everything? Going to hit, change a few sets of clothes a day, so naughty when you can walk, what will happen in the future?"
Ye Xiaoxi was not afraid of her face at all, and leaned up to hug her thigh, rubbing all the time, rubbing the ink on her body, the ink on her hands, all rubbed onto Lin Xiuqing's legs, making her blood pressure almost rise again.
Reached out and pulled, and lifted her by the back collar, carrying her like a puppy into the house, muttering angrily in her mouth, "Dirty to death and rubbing on me, are you trying to piss me off..."
The old lady followed behind with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, don't hit, she is still young, doesn't understand..."
Ye Yaodong also followed behind and shouted, "She just loves beauty, which girl doesn't paint and smear..."
"So paint yourself pitch black?"
"Haha, wait for you to wipe her a little more fragrant, she won't touch dirty things randomly..."
The old lady also joined in the fun and said: "Right, wipe her a little more fragrant, she will know that dirty things can't be touched..."
"Become a spirit? All spoiled like this..."
The sound in the house was intermittent and spread out, but there was someone shouting for Ye Yaodong to answer the phone outside.
Ye Yaodong had a spirit, and didn't care about the child, ran out immediately, and after confirming that it was his phone, he immediately entered the house and pushed the bicycle, hurriedly riding to the village committee.
He was full of expectations, thinking, would it be Zhou Laoban calling to ask about the squid dried?
Who knew it was the father-in-law who called.
He said that another boss came today wanting to book more dried fish, but the shop was not enough to sell, urging to buy more cheap fish goods back to dry.
Otherwise, just watching the orders, white flowers flowing away, heart aching. 【
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and asked him to find time tomorrow to buy a few thousand jin of lizardfish, round scad, or mackerel. He asked Uncle Zhou to go to the city to transport them back at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
He also felt it was a pity; money that was already there, why not earn it?
Before, he thought that if Azheng offered to take over this job, doing it this way would make him overthink, thinking that he had gone back on his word and wasn't happy to let him earn this money, and that he wanted to swallow it all alone and not let him have a sip of the soup.
He had already lost two friends, and he still cherished the remaining ones. Although he felt he wouldn't mind too much, he still thought about slowing down and letting him have a few more sips of soup first.
However, going to tell him now shouldn't be a big problem, because the fishing season had arrived, and he himself wouldn't have time to run to the city later on. He would definitely be able to understand the situation of having no goods to sell.
Father Lin felt relieved after hearing this and immediately agreed to go to the market tomorrow to take a look and buy two or three thousand jin to send back first.
After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, he thought about going to Azheng's house later to give him a heads-up.
Also, if he were to dry fish and cuttlefish every day from now on, the two aunts he hired definitely wouldn't be enough; he would have to hire a few more.
Moreover, his courtyard wasn't big. At night, one wall would be stacked full of cuttlefish, and if he called people over to kill them, it would occupy another patch of open space.
Tomorrow there would still be several thousand jin of fish goods, and from then on, a batch might be sent over every two or three days. It wouldn't matter if it were like this for a day or two, but if it were like this for a long time, it would be inconvenient to come and go.
He thought while walking that he still had to find Chen Shuji in the next two days to approve another piece of open space nearby. He had to build a small workshop so it would be convenient to hire people to work.
It would save him from worrying if there were too many people coming and going in his own house; he had so many treasures at home.
He still had to determine the quantity of cuttlefish for Zhou Laoban first. When he got home later, he would discuss it with his wife and let her calculate the accounts to see how much it would be appropriate to sell to the other party.
Once the price and quantity were determined, he could go to Chen Shuji to approve a piece of land, get the small workshop set up, and hire a few more women...
Walking all the way home, he was pondering this matter and didn't look closely at the person coming. It wasn't until A-Guang walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder that he realized he had been thinking too intently.
"What's wrong? Just got back? How was the harvest today?"
"It's alright. Both the front and back boats have docked. We caught seven or eight hundred jin and sold over 200. Today was the first day, and we didn't react in time and didn't guard there, so it's normal that the quantity was small."
"Hmm, the quantity should increase tomorrow."
"About the same. Tomorrow I'm planning to bring both my younger sisters out to let them go to the island to pick up stranded cuttlefish; we can't waste them."
Ah, that's right. Last year, his father-in-law and mother-in-law happened to come over and stayed at his place for a few days, picking up cuttlefish for a few days and earning a little pocket money.
This year they went to the city to help him look after the shop. Why not call back later to see if his two brothers-in-law have time?
It wouldn't matter much whether he picked up cuttlefish at night or not. If they didn't pick them up, they could still go drag netting. During the fishing season, there could be quite a few cuttlefish from drag netting, and there could also be some miscellaneous goods caught by luck.
"That works. Just let Huimei carry the child to work, or you can call my mother to watch them; anyway, she just sits there chatting."
"That's what I was thinking. Also, when I just got back, I heard you were preparing to dry cuttlefish again? I heard that the goods from the four boats at home are all to be kept and taken back to dry. That's a big move!"
"That's what I'm thinking. If I bother with it, maybe I'll get rich. If I don't bother, I'll never get rich."
"Makes sense! Take a look, if the quantity isn't enough, the goods from my two boats can also be given to you. If you're afraid that Acai will eat people, I'll also say I'm keeping them to take home to dry. We're all one family, and you've done him a favor, so he won't say anything."
"I'll go back and calculate the accounts later, make a phone call to confirm, and then see how much quantity is needed. If there's a need, I'll tell you."
The volume of four boats was already large enough; the main thing was that the cost was too high. If two more boats were added, the volume would be even larger. At first, the other party might not necessarily want such a large quantity.
Who knows if they will sell well?
"Fine, if there's a need, give me a shout."
"Hmm, there shouldn't be a need for a short time."
Thinking about it just now, he felt that the other party would definitely collect a batch first to send away to test the waters. For the next two or three days, he might have to sell fresh goods.
On the way back, he was thinking a bit too beautifully...
Sigh~
Ye Yaodong just said hello, and then they went their separate ways. He took a detour to Azheng's house to talk for a while before going home.
In the courtyard, there were already four women sitting there with scissors killing cuttlefish, and the quantity of cuttlefish had nearly doubled. His older brother and second brother had also returned. Now there was almost no place to stand in the courtyard.
It looks like he has to get a small workshop out to make it more convenient, saving them from piling everything up at his own house.
The front door was hard to walk through, so he detoured to the back door.
"Adong, why did the phone call take so long? Who called? Zhou Laoban?" Seeing him return, Lin Xiuqing couldn't wait to greet him.
"No, it was your father..."
He also took the opportunity to tell her what he and his father-in-law had discussed, asking her to pay attention to receiving the goods tomorrow morning and then arrange for people to kill and dry them.
"Ah, that's fine, but we're going to dry cuttlefish again, so there won't be any place to dry the dried fish."
"I'm planning to ask Chen Shuji to approve a piece of land to set up a small workshop. I'll fence in a larger area with more open space so it's convenient for drying."
