Chapter 868: Splitting Money (Two Chapters in One)

"I'm looking at it, what's the rush."

Ye Yaodong pulled out the one with the smallest amount. However, before he could read it, A Guang stretched his neck and peeked at it, and said first.

"1012, this was sold to the fresh-receiving boat on the afternoon of the second day. It was sold a bit cheaply, but my father and the others all said it was normal."

After speaking, he recorded the number in the notebook and urged him to take the second one to see.

"1406!"

A Guang immediately recorded it again and said, "This was sold ashore on the morning of the day before returning. This time, more goods were sold, and it had been accumulated for two days."

"The last one is 1053, this was sold ashore on the last day when returning, right."

"Right, I'll add it up, it's... 3471."

Ye Yaohua happily pushed the other lists on the table to Ye Yaodong and said, "There are also these three lists for refueling and adding ice, subtract them, and there should still be one thousand seven or eight hundred left."

Ye Yaodong also picked up the amounts of the refueling and ice-adding lists and flipped through them, reading out, "532, 606, 664, just three lists, it should be refueling and adding ice while selling goods..."

"Right, take advantage of the fresh-receiving boat coming over, replenish by the way."

A Guang nodded while recording. In fact, they had calculated it long ago. They calculated it once on the boat, and calculated it once when they just returned home.

However, no matter what, they had to calculate it again in front of everyone for everyone to hear.

Ye Fu suddenly interrupted, "And those rice, grain, and vegetables, they were all brought on the boat separately by Old Pei from home. We also have to calculate some money for him. These are also consumption, everyone eats together..."

"What's this..."

"Must calculate, should calculate..."

"This must be calculated, must be calculated..."

The three old ones said happily.

A Guang took a pen and added and subtracted on the paper, "Subtract these ice-adding and refueling first, and there's still 1669 left."

"Subtract another 50 yuan, as rice, grain, and vegetable money. Ah right, coal also costs money. Coal stoves were burned on the boat. Coal stoves, pots, bowls, ladles, and baskets also cost money."

"Forget about these. These coal stoves were all brought on the boat from home. If you have extra at home, bring some tomorrow and bring them to the boat together. You also saw the baskets brought a few days ago, they weren't enough to hold them at all, most could only be poured directly into the fish warehouse."

Zheng Shu also said refreshingly, "Good, good, good, then each family will go back and take some and put them on the boat to gather."

Pei Fu nodded and said with a smile, "There's no need to calculate those that didn't cost money. Everyone is not an outsider. If you can gather them, take out what you don't use at home and put them on the boat to gather."

According to the shares, the family that earned the most this trip was theirs, so there was no need to haggle over these little things. Anyway, he was the one using them.

A Guang took a pen and recorded, "Then it's 1619..."

"Calculate those trash fish and shrimp too..." Ye Yaodong stopped what they wanted to say, "This is also public, everyone has a share. It's not very appropriate to give them all to me. Anyway, calculate some money, so I can take them with peace of mind."

"Originally, I took them to make a profit and sell them. It's not good to take them for nothing. And you transported them back, which also increased the burden on the boat and consumed fuel. It's only right to calculate some fuel money."

Pei Fu said happily, "Actually, it's just by the way. It's too wasteful to keep pouring them into the sea. These few days, thousands of jin were poured into the sea basket by basket. We felt sorry looking at it."

A Guang also added, "The small crabs poured out are even more, more than the fish and shrimp brought back, so the ones brought back don't count for anything."

"That still has to be calculated. This boat is not one family's, everyone has a share. We should calculate money, calculate money, one yard is one yard."

"Actually, it's fine, it won't consume much fuel, just a thousand jin. The boat itself can hold several tons. It's not wasteful to bring them back and put them to use." Zheng Shu also said politely.

"That still has to mean something and calculate some fuel money. I also want the fishing boat to bring back as much as possible when it returns."

Calculating some money can also be a comfort, subsidizing some fuel money. Otherwise, if it's free every time, and there are many times of sending, there will always be people with knots in their hearts, or family members or those sleeping beside them will mutter. After all, he is also taking them to make a profit.

A Guang looked at several people, his eyes turning back and forth, and also thought it was better to calculate money.

After all, if thousands of jin are taken back every time, everyone has shares, and he won't have any thoughts himself, but it's hard to guarantee that others won't have thoughts.

Who doesn't have a few relatives and friends? If some relatives really ask, and you can't refuse, who should you give it to?

And don't want money, use it to do favors or sell it to those who raise pigs.

He was also worried, what if his own relatives came to the door and asked to split some?

Anyway, it's free. If you don't take advantage, you're an idiot. This is the idea of most people.

Just now, he saw many figures at the door and window, peeking. They were calculating accounts, so he pretended not to see them.

If money is calculated, it can directly dispel 99% of people's ideas.

"How about calculating ten yuan? This way, everyone can say it's not for nothing if any relatives or friends want it later."

Two or three thousand jin of goods, 10 yuan, one jin is also 4-5 cents, which is about the same. For dragon fish and mackerel, the fresh-receiving boat dislikes occupying space for one cent a jin, and it is just right that they also plan to return to port to unload, so they reluctantly accept it.

These miscellaneous goods are also fine to pack together for 10 yuan, and can also persuade people to retreat. Dongzi definitely won't care.

Ye Fu hadn't spoken, and only then nodded, "It's also fine, mean something, it counts as not taking it for nothing."

Others also nodded together.

"That's also fine."

Ye Yaohua said generously with a smile, "My wife asked me to take some to feed pigs earlier. This is directly sold to Dongzi, which can make her give up. The miscellaneous goods left over from trawling at home every day, mixed with some pig grass, are actually enough."

Ye Yaodong didn't hear his second sister-in-law say this, maybe she didn't hear it after showering and entering the house.

"Then selling to Adong is also a good thing, saving this one wanting some, that one wanting some." Zheng Shu also said with a smile.

"Then no problem, I'll add it up, then the total is 1629."

Pei Fu nodded, "Earning 1629 in 5 days is also within the normal range. After all, fuel money is also fierce, and miscellaneous goods are also many. Next time if the luck is better and catch more valuable ones, it can sell more."

"This is already very good. Go safely, come back safely, and bring money back. The soil gun didn't come in handy either." Ye Fu was already very satisfied.

When they went out, Pei Fu and A Guang, to be on the safe side, specially brought a soil gun. This trip back, they wanted to see if they could ask the village committee to buy two more, because they saw that the fresh-receiving boat was equipped with several, and they always felt uneasy in their hearts.

Ye Yaodong also agreed very much, "It doesn't matter if you earn more or less. The risk at sea is too great. It's all fighting with life. It's already very lucky to come back safely and smoothly, and earned more than 1600."

In this era, the law is imperfect, and everything is chaotic everywhere, and it is easy to die on land.

Carrying a sum of money and walking on the road, if someone sees it, you don't know how you died, let alone this lawless place at sea, the death rate is higher.

"Good, if there is no opinion, then split the money. Everyone is our own people these few days, Dongzi didn't have time to go, and our father topped it, so no wages, split directly according to shares."

"One share is 162.9 yuan, directly calculate the integer 163 yuan, second brother and Zheng Shu are both 163 yuan, Dongzi is three shares, let me calculate... 489, right, nothing wrong, right?"

"Nothing wrong, right, right!" Everyone responded with a happy and brilliant smile.

"Nothing wrong, then Huimei go get the money, count the money well."

"Hey, good!" Ye Huimei hurriedly put the child in the playpen and went into the house to get money.

"Give me 479, deduct 10 yuan."

Ye Yaodong was very satisfied with this harvest. He earned so much on the first trip, and split 489 directly. Although it was not as exaggerated as his second brother said when he returned, earning five or six hundred, it was also very good, and there was nearly 500 yuan.

Equivalent to a daily income of nearly 100, which is comparable to the income of his two boats combined at home.

Sometimes if the luck is not good, the two and a half boats combined only have this income, and the money split is net profit after deducting fuel money.

Ye Yaohua also happily grinned, he only split 163 with one share, too much, too much, calculated as 30-something a day.

In the past, when partnering with his eldest brother, after deducting fuel money, he could only split ten-something a day. It was Dongzi's boat that was brought over for them to partner, and each of them could split a little more, so they could have 20-something.

This one share is more than what they earned from going to sea daily, too worth it.

While waiting, Pei Fu also said with a smile, "There is still a lot of fuel left on the boat from the last trip, and we can add less when we get on the boat tomorrow."

"Then are you going tomorrow or is A Guang going? I'll prepare." Ye Fu asked.

"I'll go tomorrow, and if there's no rest next time, and we go immediately, let A Guang go, and then trouble the in-laws to help watch."

"If the weather is not suitable and we can't go to sea, we can have a rest. If there is free time, I can slow down. I won't let him go next time we set off, I'll go myself, and let him watch the house at home."

Everyone instantly understood, Pei Fu was protecting his son, planning to carry the risk himself if possible.

It is indeed a father's heart. He has no grandson, and it is better for his son to stay than for an old guy like him to stay.

Ye Fu also couldn't help but rejoice that he had many sons and had no worries in this regard. He used to be annoyed that his sons were not enterprising, but now even this annoyance was gone. He walked with wind every day, and everyone said he was ten years younger now.

He also felt so, although not ten years younger, he felt he could be five years younger.

A Guang also understood his father's thoughts and didn't speak.

Ye Fu nodded with a smile, "Good."

Ye Yaodong changed the subject, "Then the wages of the workers must also be set."

"As for the workers, I plan to hire fixed crew members, and the monthly wage is seventy. I asked, this year's wages are a bit higher than last year, and I will give red envelopes during the New Year."

"Anyway, the boat is there. Even if it doesn't go to sea, such a large fishing boat will need a lot of people for maintenance."

"This trip also found that the manpower for sorting is not enough. Now we are preparing to call two more. Do you and Old Zheng want to arrange a quota each."

Everyone instantly understood the meaning of Pei Fu's words, which was equivalent to letting them arrange a supervisor each.

Zheng Shu agreed, "I'll call one to go with you tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong saw him agree and nodded, "I'll also call one tomorrow. The age I call should be relatively young. Strictly speaking, those without experience don't need wages, but it counts as taking risks. Uncle, you look at it and give a little less, calculate half."

He thought of that group of teenagers, it's not bad to throw one on the large boat to exercise.

Actually, his first thought was A Fan, after all, he has indeed been honest and hardworking during this period, never lazy, and worked hard.

But thinking about his eldest aunt's character, forget it, lest she find Pei's family every day. After all, it is their in-laws, and the feelings cannot be worn out by her, otherwise his mother will be angry to death.

Pei Fu agreed directly.

Ye Fu was curious, "Are you planning to call one from your group of lackeys?"

Ye Yaodong was embarrassed by his father, what is his group of lackeys, so many people think he is engaged in gang activities, pulling gangs and forming factions?

He hadn't agreed yet, just planned to arrange work for them, see if they are talents, after all, he needs to hire people everywhere.

Can arrange those who go to sea to go to sea, those who watch the workshop to watch the workshop, and by then, arrange one to follow the car to deliver goods to the city.

A Guang saw Chen Shi beside him when he returned earlier, and he clicked his tongue, "Amazing, started taking in lackeys?"

"Cough, cough, no, don't listen to my father's nonsense, I just found someone to help me do some work, felt quite to my taste, thought that there are many chores at home that need to be hired, so I planned to arrange work for them."

"Oh~"

A Guang winked at him, probably guessing that maybe it was the few he called to beat people up a few days ago, so he said the age he called would be relatively young.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly changed the subject, "Let's arrange the workers' wages like this. Pei Shu's wages must be higher. Father, Zheng Shu, and second brother, what do you think is appropriate."

Ye Yaohua smiled honestly, "You discuss and decide, I have no opinion."

Pei Fu smiled humbly, "It's fine to calculate the same as the workers..."

"You are the helmsman, and the people on the boat have to listen to you, so the wages must be higher than theirs." Ye Fu said.

Zheng Shu thought for a while, "How about calculating 100 as an integer? My boat is also calculated like this."

"Can, can."

Everyone agreed unanimously.

The matter of wages was temporarily set like this. Everyone discussed and the atmosphere was particularly good. Mainly because there was money to split, of course, everything was easy to talk about. Splitting wages among so many people, in fact, there was not much.

After setting this matter, everyone started chatting about the future, saying that it wouldn't be long before they could earn back the capital...

After Ye Huimei came out with their respective dividends, everyone stopped laughing and took the money with a smiling face.

Ye Yaodong also got 479 yuan in his hand, a large handful. He used his other hand to flick it casually, and they were all large unity, except for 9 one-yuan banknotes on top.

"You all count it, see if the amount is correct. If not, we will calculate it on the spot, and make up the difference."

"Good, good..."

After everyone nodded, they all dipped their thumbs in saliva and started counting the banknotes, the sound of rustling constantly...

Ye Yaohua and Zheng Shu counted back and forth twice, and Ye Yaodong finished counting the banknotes in his hand.

In fact, he forgot while counting, but he was too lazy to count again. Old sister wouldn't pit him, just count casually to make a look.

They all said there was nothing wrong, the quantity was correct, then stuffed the money into their pockets, and sat down to chat again.

However, after taking the money, everyone's mind was not here anymore. The conversation was only Ye Fu and Pei Fu chatting happily, and Zheng Shu occasionally responded.

Until the sky outside got a bit dark, they had been sitting for a few minutes, and Zheng Shu said he was going back.

"Afraid that the sky will be completely dark, and I won't be able to see the road when riding a bike. It won't be good if I fall into the ditch by then. Take advantage of the fact that the sky is not completely dark now, and I can still see."

"Good, good, go back early, so as not to touch the dark."

"Then we will go back first..."

Anyway, they sat and chatted for a while, didn't run away after taking the money.

Pei Fu, A Guang, and Ye Huimei all hurriedly stood up and sent everyone out of the house with a smile.

Ye Fu still had to go to the carpenter in Dongqiao Village to buy wooden barrels. He rode Ye Yaodong's bicycle alone and walked with Zheng Shu. Anyway, when he bought it, he would let people send it to his door, without him specifically pushing the handcart.

Ye Yaodong had to sit behind his second brother's bicycle and go back.

If it is dark, it is that moment. At A Guang's door, there was still a little light. After he rode to the village, it was completely dark. Fortunately, the lights of every household were also on, and he could still see the road nearby clearly.

It wasn't until he rode to the beach that it became pitch black again, but the laughter of children nearby was constant.

Their family was also looking forward to sitting in the courtyard, chatting while working, and waiting for them to finish calculating the accounts and return.

Ye Yaodong and the others were far away, separated by a courtyard wall, and heard his second sister-in-law's excited voice, but only after they were close did they hear clearly what she was saying.

"A Hua said, although we only mixed in one share, this trip can probably split one hundred sixty or seventy, one hundred seventy or eighty, too amazing, it's only been a few days."

"Said that tomorrow night we will continue to go, this trip, he and Father won't follow..."

"The small fish and shrimp brought back have thousands of jin, A Qing has already boiled several pots just now, look at this courtyard, so many have been dried, I don't know what time it will be boiled tonight, both pots inside and outside are boiling shrimp there..."

"Oh my, the small trash fish were all sent to the old house, for my mother to make fish sauce. I don't know how they calculate it by then? Is it Adong's or my mother's?"

"If we could take some over to feed pigs, it would be great. Anyway, they are all free..."

"Adong is back..." Lin Xiuqing greeted him happily.

Ye Ersao had been turning her back to everyone, chatting excitedly with the neighbors standing in the courtyard. Only after Lin Xiuqing reminded her did she suddenly turn around and see, and she also hurriedly greeted him.

"Where is second brother?"

"At the door, he parked the bicycle at the door first."

The large pot placed against the courtyard wall in the courtyard was emitting a raging fire. The nearby neighbors were cooling off in his courtyard, chatting by the way. Just now at the door, he kept hearing his second sister-in-law chatting there.

"Finished calculating accounts?"

"Hmm..."

While they were talking, Ye Ersao also hurriedly rushed out, and shouted while calling, "A Hua, finished calculating accounts? How much money did we split?"

"163, when riding a bicycle just now, it fell out of the pocket. Fortunately, when it fell out, it hit Dongzi's leg, and he picked it back. Otherwise, it would be finished if someone else picked it up."

"Ah? Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, fortunately it was picked back, otherwise I won't finish with you..."

After Ye Ersao took the money, she ran over happily again, "We split 163, your family invested three shares, should have 400 or 500, right."

Lin Xiuqing held a large handful of banknotes that Ye Yaodong had just stuffed into her hand, nodded with a smile, "I'll take it in and put it away first."

The neighbors on the side said one after another: "You guys earn money doing everything..."

"It's only one trip to sea and split nearly 500 yuan, much stronger than dragging nets to sea yourself..."

"That's right, we deduct fuel money, two brothers split it, if the luck is better, one month can't earn 500 yuan."

"It's two months can't earn 500 yuan, estimated to be three months, if there is a typhoon, it will be even worse..."

"Ah pui pui pui, crow's mouth..."

Ye Ersao smiled, "This investment is indeed much stronger than dragging nets to sea yourself. This 163 yuan, when we two brothers combined one boat before, it took a month to earn, now it's only 5 days at sea and can split so much..."

"Yes, yes, your investment is too worth it..."

"There is a steady stream of money to split later, you earn money much faster than us..."

"Yes, at that time, I was still hesitant, fortunately my man said listen to Adong, now look, it's too right, fortunately bet on the right treasure, otherwise where is the money to split..."

This sentence really poked Ye eldest sister-in-law's heart. She knew that Ye Ersao would run to the neighbor's courtyard to show off as soon as she finished eating. Tonight, she specifically didn't come out and just stayed in her own house, saving herself from listening and feeling uncomfortable.

But Ye Ersao's voice was too loud. I don't know if it was intentional or too happy, every word she said was passed into her house, which made her uncomfortable liver and lungs hurt, and from time to time she took a small look at Ye Yaopeng.

It's just that she didn't know what to say. Obviously, it was a decision made by the couple after discussion, but in the end, the two were speechless.

Ye Yaopeng actually didn't feel much better than her. It was he who said the fishing boat was unlucky, and it was he who rejected joining from the bottom of his heart at the beginning.

Alright, now people earn money and split money, but he is uncomfortable here. If he says it out, he is also afraid of being laughed at by others.

So he didn't go out to cool off after returning at night. It's better to be out of sight and out of mind, saving himself from having to force a smile. It will be fine after this period. ===== CHAPTER 869 =====
