Chapter 776: Fresh and Fragrant Squid Dried Fish

After dinner, Ye Yaodong went into the room and calculated the accounts with Aqing, and both of them felt beautiful in their hearts.

"How much money does our family have now?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled brightly, and starlight shone in the bottom of her eyes. "Deducting the land purchase, and the boat bought a while ago, there is still more than 13,000. In the past six months of selling dried fish, we earned another 7,000 or 8,000."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and narrowed his eyes. "I told you, I can definitely earn back the money for the big boat. When I booked the big boat before, you were still worried that the money in hand was not enough, and after paying the final payment, you would still owe debt, and there would be no money in hand, etc."

"Yes, yes, you are right, you say whatever you want, who let you be the head of our family? You want to make decisions however you want, want to do whatever you want..."

"Hey hey hey... speak properly, why does it taste different as you speak? The head of our family is me on the surface, but behind the scenes, it's clearly you!"

Lin Xiuqing saw him staring and sitting up straight, and hurriedly smiled and pressed his shoulders to appease him. "What's the hurry? Just teasing you. What I said is also a fact. We have more than 13,000 in hand now, and we can earn a few thousand more from catching squid next."

"With more boats, earning money is indeed fast. Usually, the catch is not large, so it's not obvious. This fishing season is powerful, catching several hundred jin every day, and it's squid. We are really going to earn a big fortune this year."

Ye Yaodong smiled and hugged her waist, pressed her onto his lap, and then hugged her, saying happily: "In two months, I will go to Zhejiang to catch jellyfish, and earn a big sum for you again. In the second half of the year, dry some dried fish, and you won't have to worry about anything."

"Originally, I told you that we only need to pay a deposit first, and the final payment of 8,000 later. Not to mention that we had enough money at that time, just say we didn't, I can earn it by just earning it this year. Look, is it right?"

"I should have booked the boat a year later, then the delivery time would have to be pushed back. Booking early, it can be delivered early next year. Now the money is earned, and it doesn't delay collecting goods."

"Yes, you are right, but will going to Zhejiang be too dangerous? It was so dangerous last year, and you didn't say anything. After all, it's fishing in other people's territory..."

"We are going to the Zhejiang-Fujian border, actually it's fine. There are also many Fujian fishing boats operating around, although it's a bit uneasy, but everyone should be careful. High risk means high return. Originally, everything has risks."

"When the time comes, if we have more boats, we can look out for each other. It should be better not to live in the village. Anyway, it's still early, we'll talk about it then. We have three boats in our hands right now, and the speed of making money is top-notch, whoosh, much faster than anyone else."

Lin Xiuqing said happily: "It's much faster, it feels like a dream, I don't even dare to think about it, actually having more than 10,000 in savings in hand, plus three boats, two shops in the city, and a big boat, which can also be delivered next year, so many~"

"Hmm, there is also a small workshop, you forgot, that is also a new industry we have settled."

Lin Xiuqing laughed out loud. "That crude piece of land, just casually enclosing it with fishing nets is a newly settled industry? Don't tease me. Wait until the wall is built."

"Don't underestimate it. If we dry dried fish there all year round, how much money will we earn? That's not an industry? That's a big industry."

"Alright, you say it is, it is. Take a bath and rest early, still going out to sea at night?"

Ye Yaodong hugged her and wouldn't let go, rubbing against her neck with a twist, saying "hmm hmm ah ah". "Sleep a little later."

"It's so tiring to go out to sea every day, don't think about seven or eight things, sleep early, and recharge your batteries. I'll go to the village tomorrow to see who has a hen for sale, buy one back and stew it for you tomorrow night, the old lady has been nagging all afternoon."

Lin Xiuqing said while patting his shoulder, letting him let go. "I also have to go out to be busy, there are a lot of things waiting to be done outside, how can I keep grinding with you in the room, you sleep early."

Ye Yaodong wanted to say it would be done soon...

But thinking that saying this wouldn't be very good, he would be laughed at, so forget it. These two days are indeed tiring.

"Alright."

Lightly dried squid dried fish is fresh squid dried without salt. Salted squid dried fish is squid dried with salt added during drying. These two kinds of squid dried fish are different.

Lightly dried squid dried fish feels lighter, the surface is smooth, maintains the original flavor of the squid, tastes fresh and fragrant, and the disadvantage is that it is not resistant to preservation.

Salted squid dried fish feels heavy, the surface has salt stains, the saltiness is large, and it must be repeatedly soaked and rinsed to dilute the salt before it can be eaten.

Due to the high salt content, salted squid dried fish is not easy to deteriorate, and the shelf life is relatively long.

Their family has been lightly drying for the past few days, because lightly drying is delicious. At the beginning, in order to have a good reputation, they must lightly dry it to let people taste it.

If they plan to hoard a large amount of goods in the later stage, they can consider salted drying.

However, now people are short of materials and like to accept new things. They like to taste everything, and they won't really keep it for a long time after buying it back, except for the elderly who are reluctant to eat and reluctant to wear.

Ye Yaodong fished for a day, and because he had to deliver goods the next day, he didn't go out to sea, and let Lin Xiangyang replace him for a day.

The fishing these few days has been quite smooth, very calm, and no one who doesn't have eyes has come to make trouble. Leaving for a day to deliver goods, he is also at ease.

He guessed that it should be because the border defense station had driven away the fishing boats approaching that island area at sea some time ago, so no one had approached the island area during this period. In the past, when trawling, he could occasionally see one or two boats.

Today can be considered as giving himself a holiday to rest for a day.

Getting up early, coming out to the hall, he smelled the tempting fresh fragrance in the house.

"Is this steaming squid dried fish?"

The old lady smiled and stood up. "Yes, steaming a bowl every morning recently, it's really good with rice porridge."

He goes out to sea every day, and he didn't eat it every morning. What he eats every evening is stir-fried. Today, he didn't go out to sea, which just happened to catch up.

He casually lifted the pot lid, and the rich fresh fragrance rushed to his face. The steamed squid dried fish was slightly red. He didn't mind the heat, and casually tore off a strip and sent it into his mouth to chew. The more he chewed, the fresher it was, the more he chewed, the more fragrant it was. It was fresh with a faint sweetness, and there was a hint of saltiness in the sweetness.

"Delicious!"

"Then you should eat more later. We're all awake, so I'll dish out the porridge to let it cool."

"Alright, I'll go out and turn around."

Ye Yaodong tore off a small piece again, chewing while walking out.

The ground of the courtyard, the walls, everywhere were round baskets, bamboo mats, and fishing nets drying squid dried fish. These were all slaughtered and washed fresh yesterday and spread out to dry.

He casually rubbed it, the meat was still soft, but very q-elastic and very elastic.

"I'll go to the small workshop to take a look."

Ye Yaodong shouted toward the room and walked out with a sack. If it was already dry, he could incidentally collect it.

The big black dog at home followed him out as soon as he went out, and the small black dog that was originally squatting next door also climbed up and followed.

The fresh fragrance around the small workshop was even more intense. Inside, it was densely hung with hanging dried squid dried fish, and there were also salted fish dried flat. The whole venue had no empty space, and it was hung full high and low.

Ye Yaodong turned around in the venue, touched this one, flipped that one, and only then found a large piece of squid dried fish on the very edge that was already half-dry.

The ones outside were newly slaughtered and spread out to dry yesterday or the day before yesterday. Only this large piece inside was dried three days ago, and the dryness was very good. Picking up two pieces and knocking them against each other could make a clanking sound.

The squid dried fish dried by his family can be considered top-quality. As soon as the fresh ones are collected, they are slaughtered, washed clean, and dried on the same day. The sun has been good recently, and this squid doesn't have a heavy fishy smell, and there are no mosquitoes or flies on it.

Flipping through two pieces at random, they are all well-proportioned, with correct knife paths, complete meat in the meat layer, no defects, thick meat quality inside, clean, smelling of its own fragrance, and in a pink translucent shape.

It's just a pity that the freshly dried ones don't have white frost yet, and they need to be collected and covered for a period of time before they will come out.

He casually threw it into the sack, and while it wasn't time for breakfast, he collected a wave first.

The brother-in-law wasn't there either, otherwise he wouldn't have to look for it everywhere himself. I don't know what he went to do. There was a group of dogs around the small workshop watching, anyway, it was already dawn.

He collected them row by row slowly, occasionally lifting the sack, shaking it, and letting them distribute neatly.

It wasn't until the sack was almost full that he saw the brother-in-law running over while pulling up his pants, and the belt was still being tied there. I guess he was afraid of leaving for too long and no one watching.

"Ayuan, you collected squid dried fish so early? I just went to the latrine and left for a while."

"It's okay, I slept early yesterday, so I got up early today. I wanted to see how dry it was? I found it was already dry, so I collected it incidentally."

"Alright, alright, I'll go home and take a sack over to collect it together. I thought you would wait until the sun came out to collect it."

"No difference, anyway, collect it when it's dry. Collect it early, and weigh it and send it away early."

Lin Xiang Hui went quickly and returned quickly, took a sack over, and followed to collect it, and said: "When I went to the latrine just now, I saw several households in the village taking a pile of half-dried squid dried fish out to dry. Are these people wanting to dry them in advance, waiting for the big truck to come and collect the goods these two days?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his hand, thinking about whether he washed it or not, and said in his mouth: "Should be, I guess the idea is going to fail, and they can only carry it on their shoulders to sell."

"Maybe they will take it to your house and want to sell it to you?"

"Whatever, it's okay. If they can't sell it, and the quantity is not large, it's okay to help them solve it incidentally."

"That's also quite good, you can also earn a little more."

"That's hard to say. If the boss doesn't want so many, I still have to hoard goods myself, and I still have to accumulate inventory. And the price has been quite high these few days, and it hasn't fallen to the cheapest time yet, so it's not suitable to have too much in hand."

Lin Xiang Hui laughed awkwardly. "I don't understand these, you look at it yourself. Anyway, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Wait until you finish breakfast, you go and make up for sleep first. You didn't sleep at night, people should be unable to hold on. We will set off at noon."

"Good." ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
