Chapter 869: Some Happy, Some Sad (Monthly Ticket +3)

Recently, he also learned to smoke water pipes like his father. Just after gurgling, he spat out smoke from his mouth and nose and said.

"Go to sleep early, don't think too much. Everyone has their own financial luck, nothing to envy, and no need to compare with others. Anyway, the shop in the city is rented out, which is also a steady income."

"Hmm, you say we also find someone to partner to order a boat, how about it? I can ask my mother's brothers if they want to partner, we can also ask Adong or A Guang if they want to take some money to participate in shares, everyone shares?"

"Then we start, definitely have to occupy a little more shares, the money taken out must be more. How much money is at home, you know better than me. Like Dongzi and A Guang's boats, all have to follow, if we occupy half, we can't take out this money, and I won't open such a large boat..."

"It doesn't matter if you won't open it, you can learn, right? Isn't there Father? By the time the boat is built, it won't be so fast. By then, Father should help us after helping Adong..."

"Father and Mother are now focused on them, doing everything to help them, and should help us too."

Ye Yaopeng glanced at her, "You don't call Father and Mother to come home for dinner, they are the parents raised by them, of course Father and Mother are more inclined to him and help him."

Ye eldest sister-in-law was speechless for a while, waited for a while and then said: "I'm busy, don't I go to sea with you from time to time..."

"A Qing doesn't necessarily see that she is busier than you... Forget it, don't say it, go to sleep first, have to go to sea at night, wait until we save more money."

Ye eldest sister-in-law listened to the sound coming from outside, only feeling uncomfortable, and simply went to close the window. The three children were still playing wildly outside. Anyway, they would naturally come back when they slept.

Ye Ersao was still talking eloquently in the courtyard. She felt that her man's decision was really correct, and fortunately she listened to him at that time.

In the past, all decisions at home were basically made by her, but A Hua was particularly persistent that day, and she was also hesitant. Later, she was persuaded by his sentence, "Dongzi's luck has not been bad for these two years, believe him, it can't be wrong."

She was just talking about this at this time.

The old lady also agreed very much, "Adong's luck has been very good since he went to sea with his father. You believed him right..."

The neighbors on the left and right also echoed there. This is indeed what everyone saw with their own eyes, real and solid.

Ye Yaodong was indeed under everyone's eyes, steadily and bit by bit made a fortune, not the kind of smuggling like others, didn't see people working, but became rich overnight.

"You guys are too exaggerated. I admit I am capable, and my luck is also very good, but this is also my own effort. Second brother is also very hardworking, much harder than me, so he deserves to make a fortune, haha."

Everyone was also amused by him.

Ye Yaohua also sat on the side with a happy face.

He said: "If it weren't for partnering a boat with eldest brother at home, I would really want to go to sea with my in-laws. That net pulled up two or three thousand jin, a large bag hung up, put on the deck and untied, directly covering the ground."

"There are valuable ones, and there are worthless ones. The thrown away ones accounted for one-third. It's a pity that it's too far from home, otherwise, all of them would be taken back to feed pigs, enough to raise dozens..."

"Ah right, actually brought back so many small shrimp and trash fish, if you want to give us some to feed pigs tomorrow, just pull them to the old house..."

Ye Yaohua didn't wait for Ye Yaodong to speak, hurriedly pulled her, "These were bought by Dongzi with money, not given for free, don't think about it."

"Anyway, there is no shell digging recently, you are idle at home, just pick more pig grass, don't the children at home bring back a large handful of pig grass after school every day? It's enough to feed pigs."

Ye Ersao was surprised, "Ah? Bought? These unwanted things still need to be bought, not said to be given to Dongzi?"

"Dongzi said these are all from the net, and specifically transported back, everyone has a share, can't take them for nothing."

"Alright, then how much money?"

"Why ask so much? If you have this effort, help dry these shrimp, another pot is out... all sitting in the courtyard, don't just sit and watch."

"Didn't I always help?"

Ye Ersao glared at him and got up to help.

Ye Yaodong listened to their conversation, and also had a clear look. Fortunately, he paid. He didn't think about taking advantage at the beginning, otherwise it would be troublesome. After all, the quantity was indeed quite large, two or three thousand jin there.

Even if it is worthless, there will be people who want to take advantage, which is unavoidable.

Lin Xiuqing was scooping shrimp in the large pot with a colander, looking at Ye Ersao coming to the side of the pot with a bamboo woven round tray, and reminded her, "Be careful of the heat."

Ye Yaodong also went into the house to look at the pot inside to see if it was boiled. Both pots were burning at the same time, and the efficiency was indeed higher. He saw the empty baskets stacked in the courtyard, and knew that two pots had just boiled three baskets.

The ones stacked in the corner, visually there were still eighteen baskets, and it really had to be boiled until midnight.

Two pots opened in turns, dried in turns, and then added water to start another pot. Lin Xiuqing ran back and forth inside and outside, and Ye Yaodong also helped her lift the basket and pour shrimp into the pot on the side.

Fortunately, several children were ordered to move firewood after the meal, and there was quite a lot of firewood placed beside both pots, which was enough for now, otherwise she probably wouldn't even have time to sit down.

At this time, Ye Yaodong couldn't help thinking, if those teenagers were here, it would be great, just order them to do it. Night should be for young people to stay up late.

If you don't stay up late when you are young, you won't be able to stay up late when you are old.

The neighbors on the left and right who had been chatting in the courtyard also helped to separate the shrimp one by one to dry.

Lin Xiuqing also took a basket, scooped a small basket for everyone to peel and eat while chatting. She had loaded a basket before, but everyone said they had just finished eating, so she had to pour it to the side to dry.

At this time, they were eating quite fragrantly on the stools.

"How much money can one jin of these shrimp kernels sell for?"

"Haven't sold yet, the little dried before, all kept for home eating or sent to others, I'll take a look later."

Selling for a few cents is still possible. This shrimp kernel is quite popular, much more popular than those dried mussels and dried clams. Father-in-law said that people ask every day, but let them guess for themselves.

However, it was too rushed when pushed back. He was selling goods at that time and forgot to remind them to weigh it at A Cai's place. There was no specific weight, so he could only estimate it himself. However, this basket, excluding the basket, fifty or sixty jin is not a problem.

By then, see how many jin can be dried, calculate the ratio yourself, anyway, so many shrimp plus those trash fish combined only cost 10 yuan, just sell it and earn it back.

Last time when drying at home, it was calculated that about three jin can produce one jin of shrimp kernels. There are more than 1000 jin here, and it is estimated that about 400 can be dried. 1 jin 5 cents wholesale and retail can sell 200 yuan. The labor is all busy by the family, just spend some effort.

Thinking about it this way, the money in this era is really easy to earn, as long as the brain is active, dare to do it, everything can be sold for money, and you can earn money with your eyes closed.

Heard that some peddlers walking the streets and alleys now, in the future, many are big figures who can shake when they stomp their feet.

Thinking about it, Ye Yaodong is also a bit happy. He is not just walking the streets and alleys, does this mean he can shake three times when he stomps his feet in the future?

He sat there alone and giggled. Lin Xiuqing was still chatting with the neighbors on the left and right, but suddenly saw it and was curious.

"What are you thinking about? Drool is about to flow down."

"Ah? Haha, dreaming."

"Adong thought of some money-making ideas again?"

"No, where are there so many money-making ideas? I'm thinking that after a while, boil a few more pots, the courtyard should be full of drying. These shrimp must be taken to the workshop to dry, and people must be left to live there at night, guard it at night. After a while, move the bamboo bed at home over, A Qing also prepare a quilt."

Lin Xiuqing nodded hurriedly, "I'll prepare the quilt in a moment, and light the mosquito coil. Anyway, you are also resting tomorrow and not going to sea, otherwise, just go there and live for one night, saving the trouble of hiring people?"

"Look at it later."

"Is your large boat going to sea again tomorrow? One day without going is a day's loss..."

"Hmm, if the weather is good tomorrow, go at night."

"That boat of yours is 15,000, right? You say if we find a few families to partner together, can we also do it?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the full expectation of the eldest of the Zhou family, nodded, "As long as you can afford the money, of course anyone can book a boat. If you feel that your experience is not much, you can also hire an old helmsman by then."

"It's just that the capital is too large, 15,000... even if we don't eat or drink, we have to save for several years..."

Ye Ersao immediately said excitedly: "Just pay a little each, like our family, just invested one share 1500, this trip can split 163, this is much stronger than dragging nets to sea yourself..."

"Don't just look at the good places, this earning more or less is unstable, and the risk is greater. Lucky to earn more, unlucky to earn less, it is possible, not so absolute, you have to think clearly yourself."

"Adong's words also make sense, this matter at sea, who can say accurately, earn 100 today, tomorrow encounter a large school of fish might earn 200, or there may be other situations."

"It's not easy to say... can only rely on heaven to eat, pray for Mazu's blessing..."

"Originally, there are risks in doing anything, it's nothing wrong to fight and break through, you see for yourselves."

"If you book now, how long will it take to deliver?"

"One or two years."

"So long?"

The large boat returned so high-profile today, people outside the pier saw the two or three thousand jin of small fish and shrimp they brought back, and the villagers also saw the trash fish his father pushed back to the old house.

Knowing that this is only one day's quantity, and it is the surplus brought back after sorting, don't know how many were poured away.

All guessed that this is worthless, and there are so many things that no one wants, let alone those that can be sold, definitely not less.

They heard on the way to calculate accounts that they earned several thousand on this trip, and it was exaggerated.

Tomorrow, his second sister-in-law or neighbors on the left and right will go to the village to publicize it, and it is estimated that there will be people in the village who are moved and follow the trend.

When A Guang was calculating accounts, he also saw figures peeking at the window and door. It is estimated that after hearing it, they came to the door to inquire after dinner.

Ye Ersao said with a smile: "In this case, just pay a deposit, and the final payment will not be so urgent."

"Also..." ===== CHAPTER 870 =====
