Chapter 798: Making Fish Sauce in Large Quantities

Fish sauce is also not bad, can enhance freshness. It's not easy to sell in other places, but it's quite popular in coastal areas like theirs.

It's just that the production process is troublesome, and it has to be fermented for half a year to a year. The quantity made at once is not small. Ordinary families can't finish eating it after making it, and are too lazy to make it. People without experience can't make it successfully either, so they all buy ready-made ones.

That large vat last year, it was sold out within two months after being taken to the city after the New Year.

"Mom, how about we collect a little more small miscellaneous fish like anchovies, and you help make fish sauce? This sells quite well."

"How well does it sell? Troublesome to death. Now that it's made, have to wait until next year to eat. Isn't there still some left at home from last year?"

"Isn't this thinking about having more things in the shop? There are two or three more dried goods shops around the market recently, also selling dried fish there. We have to have more variety to attract people. Anyway, we can make it ourselves, and you know how."

Make a little more, get familiar with it. In two years, when plastic bag technology matures, then directly use small plastic bag packaging, one bag by one bag, it will be easier to sell.

Isn't this the prototype of a fish sauce processing factory?

Isn't it better to have a shop in the city selling goods processed from these seafood products?

Absolutely!

Admire his own brain. Just a casual turn, and it's another little idea to get rich.

"There are also a few more shops selling dried fish in the market? Someone learned from us so quickly?"

"Two shops selling dried fish, one shop selling dried shrimp. The location isn't as good as mine, but it's okay. Business is good, there are always people following the trend, it's very normal."

"Alright, alright, then if you want to toss, toss. Anyway, those anchovies and miscellaneous fish, the villagers all take them to feed chickens and ducks. Useless ones are thrown back into the sea, waste. Just give one or two mao, can send them to you for a month."

Being able to earn money, Ye Mom was still very willing to help with work. In terms of helping with work, she never shirked, and never calculated with her son, wanting wages or anything.

It's just that she was a bit nagging, but she never fell behind in doing work, and never calculated with her son.

However, Ye Yaodong thought that if it could really be done decently, he would have to give his mom some money, or calculate some wages.

For now, just do it first. Who knows what will happen in the future? Heaven has unpredictable storms, better to talk less big words.

"Good. The small workshop over there isn't ready yet, just a piece of empty land, not suitable for production there. Although the old house is leaking, if the roof is repaired well, it's also a ready-made venue. The place is also large, just take two rooms to do it."

"Then when we go back, check the roof again. Just take advantage of this year before the typhoon comes to tidy it up. This old house is like this. If it's directly turned into a flat roof, it will save trouble, and things can be dried on the roof."

"If you want to turn it into a flat roof, I'll pay to hire a few people to do it..."

"No need, no need, I just said it casually. Don't toss first. Money hasn't been earned yet, why spend that money? It's been decades and it's all passed. Just repair and mend it. If it leaks when it rains, it doesn't matter. Just cover it with two nylon bags in advance. You have many places to spend money, don't mess around."

"Good, then just enclose the small workshop first."

Do things one by one, can't eat a big fat man in one breath.

If he lets his mom start making fish sauce in large quantities, then the old house can also be changed into a small fish sauce workshop. In this era, there's no talk of environment or hygiene conditions. Anyway, the things made are good.

They have also been self-sufficient like this for decades. Later, people even admire this kind of farm-made stuff.

Homemade is a plus.

Chatting and working with his mom at sea, in a few words, the matter of making fish sauce in large quantities was directly settled.

After returning, the whole family knew he was going to toss about making fish sauce in large quantities again, but not a single person said they opposed it.

The cost of this thing isn't large. Although the process is troublesome, it only needs to be looked at occasionally, and doesn't need to be guarded all day. It's no pressure on Ye Mom.

In the past, she was the one with the most to say, but today she was quiet, and the work was all done by her. Of course, the whole family had no opposition, and it was passed unanimously.

And Lin Xiuqing, after they returned, heard Ah Dong say he wanted to buy chicken and duck to kill for replenishment, and immediately busied herself without a word.

Having earned money, the confidence was sufficient, and people listened when speaking. Ye Yaodong was also a bit proud.

The two children at home were overjoyed, having big chicken legs to eat again. However, it could only be used as a midnight snack; dinner was too late. They didn't care. After eating dinner, they ran out to play, and then the children next door started to envy again.

"I said how I smelled the chicken soup, and smelled the duck soup again."

"You guys also ask your mom to stew it, it's so fragrant. The meat on the chicken leg is also a big piece, so delicious."

"Didn't Ahai Brother also earn wages?" Ye Chengyang looked at Ye Chenghai innocently, not knowing that this word was no different from a knife cutting meat for him.

"Can you not mention it? We were all picked up."

Although he got two yuan of pocket money from Great-Grandma helping him out last night, his mom glared at him. It had only been a day, and he still had resentment in his heart, still remembering it.

"Hehe, I was born to them~"

Ye Chenghai glared at Ye Chengyang with disdain. If Third Uncle hadn't told him not to talk about buying a soccer ball everywhere, he would have shouted it out now to let Ye Chengyang know, even if born to them, there's no soccer ball, humph~

When his soccer ball is bought, humph~

After dinner, Ye Yaodong sat on the recliner at the door to enjoy the cool, and by the way, pondered about building the workshop and calculating the family's savings.

Excluding inventory, the fishing season earned 11,000 in cash. The first half of the year also earned over 3,000. And originally there was over 8,000 on hand. After deducting the 4,500 for the big boat shares, and the squid money settled from Ah Cai's side, calculated, he now had almost 20,000 yuan on hand.

Even if the workshop makes a mud-brick wall, it will take over 2,000 yuan. The bottom still needs to dig a circle and fill it with large stones as a foundation...

After the small workshop is roughly finished, if his mom's fish sauce business is done decently, he will renovate the old house when the time comes, and flatten the roof.

Just as he was planning in his brain, the old lady spoke from the side: "Recently, I see you guys have been busy there, and are exhausted. Fortunately, Mazu moves in two days, and the village will be lively for two days. You can just take the opportunity to rest."

"Mm, persist for two more days."

"These two days, hire someone to top it, let your dad rest well for two days. That matter in the temple can also be called for your dad to help. How can our family not exert some effort? You are famous now, our hearts must be more sincere."

"Got it."

"Your eldest aunt came over again today, nagging that your Afan brother will be back next month. You just look at it and handle it, if it doesn't matter, just agree. If you don't want trouble, he can also find work, with hands and feet, he won't starve to death."

"We'll see when the time comes. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You don't always worry about them. Anyway, you can't see what they look like when they are old."

The old lady smiled and patted him. "I'll try to live a bit."

Ye Yaodong pondered in his heart whether to buy a TV set first?

Buy early, enjoy early. Wait a few years for color TV.

However, haven't seen Lin Ji for a while. Don't know if it's because of the strict crackdown in the past two years, and he changed places to avoid the limelight.

This TV set is a hot item. It's not necessarily possible to buy it in those small alleys in the town, and the supply and marketing cooperative needs coupons. Where would their family get industrial coupons?

Don't know if the warehouse at the border defense station has been processed? At that time, really should have hugged one home.

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, pondering when to go to the door to get close again. Once familiar, twice familiar, three or four times, own people, right? Expose face more, get familiar, what is inconvenient to do later?

Just right, it's been over half a month, can take some dried squid dried by own family to the door to send. Local specialties dried by own family, not valuable, doesn't count as bribery, can blatantly carry a basket to the door...

No! In a few days, Mazu parade, moving, how to say, have to mean it and set up a few tables. Can let the village get two invitation cards, he works hard to send them to the town, invite leaders to come to eat moving house meal, isn't this justified?

"Ah, right, just do it!"

In the name of sending invitation cards, do bribery things, phew, it's tasting local specialties!

"What's wrong?" The old lady saw him dazed for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh again, thinking he was doing something.

Ye Yaodong didn't say. If he said, the old man would nag about spending money.

This radio is easy to use, but can't compare to being able to watch TV. When the time comes, hug it back and do both. If no TV to watch, listen to the radio.

Money earned, have to let the whole family follow along to enjoy.

"Nothing, thought of a thing."

"What thing is so excited?"

"Nothing, you wouldn't know if I said it."

The old lady shook the cattail fan, fanning gently, not caring. "You young people have many ideas, one idea after another."

"Toss and toss to earn money, don't toss, there won't be changes."

The old lady shook her palm-leaf fan, fanning gently, and didn't mind, "You young people have so many ideas; a new one every minute."

"You have to keep tossing and turning to make money; if you don't toss, there won't be any changes."
