Chapter 878: More Money Shared (Two Chapters Merged 7000 Words)

Moving back and forth, after going ashore, he borrowed several flatbed carts from the neighbors on the left and right, and transported all the goods back after three or four trips.

They were embarrassed to settle the accounts with Pei Shu immediately after he went ashore, only saying that they would come to the door later after he finished eating and taking a bath.

It just so happened that during this free time, he let Chen Qishui go back to call Wang Guangliang, his cousin, and the twins over to work. It would be busy tonight.

The shrimp dried in the past few days had already become brittle and almost fell into slag after three or four days of exposure to the sun. Some of the larger ones were a bit worse.

Today, Lin Xiuqing had been picking and choosing a part to collect from morning to night, using a wooden mallet to crush them, and picking them to remove the shells.

She thought the fishing boat wouldn't return so fast, so they weren't in a hurry to hire people to work. They planned to dry the rest for half a day tomorrow and collect them all, and then she and the old lady would just pick them while watching TV.

Before he went to the pier to pick up the goods, they were all sitting in front of the TV picking and choosing.

But now it wouldn't work. At this moment, they must collect all those goods, crush them, pick them to remove the shells, and collect them, so as to vacate the drying position. Otherwise, the quantity today would be even larger.

The children in the open space were playing soccer, and those playing ball were suddenly stopped by Ye Yaodong.

And when everyone looked at him curiously, he walked over and confiscated both balls.

The adults were busy in and out, and there was no reason for those children to play happily there.

"Ah? Dad?"

"Third Uncle?"

"Pause for a while, help me work, take a few sacks and collect the shrimp dried that are drying in the workshop for me."

Wailing sounds rose one after another...

"Did you hear that?"

"Heard, Third Uncle, I will supervise them to work immediately."

Ye Chenghai responded actively, and first took his own younger brother to the knife, "Why don't you hurry up and work? You can only play after finishing. No one can play until finished."

"Know, immediately, Third Uncle tells me to do whatever, I will do whatever, tells me to eat shit, I will eat shit!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"You idiot!"

Ye Chenghai scolded, and then shouted to the other children: "You all go help too, otherwise don't come to our house to look for us to play in the future."

"We will go help immediately, hurry up, work..."

After one moved, the others also ran along.

Child labor dispatched.

"Don't rush, take the sacks and go fill them."

He distributed the sacks that were neatly arranged in the courtyard to them, one for each person.

The children who received the sacks ran excitedly toward the workshop, and Ye Yaodong also followed with the keys.

This group of child laborers was like diligent little bees, interspersed among the pieces of fishing nets in the faint light, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, swaying the fishing nets back and forth, concentrating the shrimp dried in the middle, and then pouring them into the sacks bit by bit.

And they were all like competing, seeing who could fill more. There were their shouting sounds everywhere in the open space, "Mine, mine..."

After collecting one piece, they dragged the sacks to the side.

It was especially easy to collect the ones drying on the fishing nets. Several children collected the fishing nets and then collected the bamboo flat baskets. It was obviously felt that the efficiency was low. They still had to pick them one by one into the sacks, which was too troublesome.

They simply skipped them first.

And Ye Yaodong also dragged a sack. A row of bamboo flat baskets leaning against the wall hadn't been collected. Then he collected them himself.

He lifted one end of the bamboo flat basket at the bottom, aimed it at the mouth of the sack, and shook it a few times. The shrimp dried on top fell into the sack with a clatter.

When Lin Xiuqing came over holding a quilt and mosquito coil, most of those shrimp dried in the open space had already been collected.

She smiled and said: "Still you know how to order people. Those who came to play soccer, not one was left out."

"There is no free lunch in the world, there must be a payoff. What's wrong with children working a little? Let them play however they want when they are free, but they must be diligent when they should work."

"I'll go push the flatbed cart over to load these sacks."

After Ye Yaodong finished collecting, he stopped a few children who were running and jumping, took the sacks in their hands, and poured them into each other, pouring them into a large sack.

The others were the same, saving space by having them all in small sacks.

After he transported these shrimp dried home, Wang Guangliang and the others hadn't arrived yet. There were really many people and great strength, and the shrimp dried were collected in two or three strokes.

But people hadn't come, and the work hadn't been explained yet. He wasn't at ease going to A Guang's house like this, so he could only wait first.

Second brother came to call him, and he only let him go first.

"You'd better go to A Guang's house to settle the accounts first. When their people come, I will tell them to go directly to the workshop to cook and dry. Anyway, they have done it last time, and they know what to do."

"It's okay, don't be in such a hurry. I guess Pei Shu just finished eating and taking a bath, it won't be that fast. If Second Brother is free, let him go first. I'll move this pot home first, move the things over early, and work early. The quantity today is too large, I guess they have to stay up all night."

After cooking a few days ago, he only moved the pot at home back. The other pot was still placed in the workshop. Anyway, both were to be used, no need to move back and forth.

And the firewood sent by Wang Guangliang and the others these few days, fortunately, she told them to transport it to the workshop to unload, and only left a little in their own courtyard, which saved him from having to move it today.

"Also good, then move the pot over first. There should still be some temperature, you use a rag to pad the edge..."

"I won't go out to sea tomorrow. I'll take a look, and when I'm free, I'll go to town to buy another big pot, saving the need to move back and forth."

"Not going out to sea tomorrow?"

"Hmm, the wind has risen. I heard a typhoon is coming. Just rest for a few days. I've been working continuously since the end of last month, and haven't stopped."

"Then are you going to take Big Brother and the brothers next door to the shipyard?"

"Must, Dad has also been chanting."

Ye Yaodong said while holding a big pot and walking toward the door, then turned it upside down on the flatbed cart.

Just at this moment, several figures appeared at the door, each panting and throwing themselves on the courtyard door.

"Dong... Dongdong Ge..."

"Why? You also stutter?"

Wang Guangliang gently slapped himself, "Cheap mouth, learned to speak like Chen Shi for nothing these two days, almost couldn't turn it back."

"Stuttering is poisonous, can't learn. If you learn it, you won't be able to change it in the future."

"Isn't it because I have nothing to do, joking between brothers, learned two sentences from him. But I don't have a long memory. Every time I learned it, I stuttered for a few days, and after it was better, I forgot it, and went to learn it again."

"Alright, stop talking, hurry up and push this big pot on the flatbed cart to the workshop. The shrimp were already sent to the workshop when they returned. It saves moving today."

"Alright!"

Wang Guangliang stared straight at the few dogs that were also glaring at him. In their coming and going sniffing, he moved into the courtyard bit by bit, and then said happily.

"Dong Ge, your dogs recognize me. They don't bark when they see me, just sniffed a few times and let me in."

"Hmm, they are all good dogs, smart. Hurry up and push it over to work, I still have things."

"Good, good, good."

Ye Yaodong also followed them to the workshop, let the twins go to the old house themselves, pointed to the 30 baskets of shrimp neatly placed and stacked against the wall outside the small house, and explained to Wang Guangliang and the two.

"Your task today is to cook all these shrimp, and then spread them out to dry. Last time they were dried very well, continue to work hard today. The quantity today is also larger. You have to work hard tonight. I will bring a bucket of mung bean soup later, just treat it as your midnight snack."

The mung bean soup cooked by the old lady, looking at it tonight, it couldn't be brought to the boat. Bringing it over for them to drink is just right.

They were all surprised, and there was a midnight snack.

"Ah, there is also mung bean soup to drink, the treatment is getting better and better."

"This is Dong Ge being good to us, must work hard!"

"We will start the fire immediately."

Ye Yaodong saw their excitement and motivation, and also felt that in the future, when calling them to work at night, he really had to prepare some midnight snacks, otherwise staying up all night was also tiring.

"You guys work first, I'll go bring it over."

By the way, look for something to eat at home and send some over.

Corn is also okay. Two days ago, the corn was collected, and two sacks were piled at home and hadn't been eaten yet. Later, load a basket and take it over with the mung bean soup, letting them throw it into the edge of the firewood pile to roast is also okay.

This move also received a round of thanks from them.

Sometimes, some warm little moves are easier to buy people's hearts.

Before leaving, he also gave Wang Guangliang an electronic watch, which almost made him happy to death.

This electronic watch cost several yuan.

It was food, and an electronic watch, directly filling their favorability and loyalty.

"Convenient for you to check the time, saving you from not knowing what time it is."

Wang Guangliang was overjoyed, "Thank you Dong Ge, I will definitely work hard and not be lazy, and by the way, supervise them. If they dare to be lazy, I will beat them."

He nodded.

After explaining everything and settling everything, Ye Yaodong hurriedly went to A Guang's house.

Everyone else had arrived. Pei Shu had also finished eating and taking a bath. Everyone was sitting there chatting, just waiting for him.

"I came late, just finished assigning the work at home."

"It doesn't matter, we all just arrived not long ago."

A Guang sat on the chair, sitting without a sitting posture, his whole body lying on the table, his butt completely exposed outside the stool. If there were no outsiders, he would have kicked him twice at least.

"Everyone is here, then start settling the accounts."

After speaking, he moved his butt back to the stool and sat up straight.

"Does Dongzi want to look at the list first?"

"Has everyone seen it? If you have seen it, then settle it directly."

"Only you haven't seen it. Why don't you read it? Read while looking, so you have a number in your heart."

"Good."

Since he was the second largest shareholder, he didn't be polite, took the list in his hand, went through it first, and then read the receipt.

There were only two orders in total, and the price difference wasn't big. According to Chen Qishui, they had saved three days of goods, and couldn't fit them anymore, so they contacted the fresh-receiving boat to receive the goods.

Then they got the news from the fresh-receiving boat that there would be a typhoon next, so they caught fish on the 4th day while returning, and by the way, sold a batch of goods ashore, and then returned directly.

The goods were many on the last day, and the price sold ashore could also be higher, but it couldn't compare to the quantity of those three days. He glanced at the date and knew.

"1572, another 1353, and the refueling and ice adding was deducted 755, then deducted 410? And these rice, flour, grain, and oil were 26 yuan and 60 cents."

Pei Fu explained: "The 755 yuan was for refueling and adding ice at the town pier after boarding the boat. Originally, I thought about going for a few more days, so after a little was left on the boat, I bought a little more extra, saving the need to buy from the fresh-receiving boat, which is more expensive. Also persisted for three days. When selling goods, I knew a typhoon was coming, thinking about returning the next day, so I bought a little less, so it was 410."

"Good, A Guang calculate it."

Ye Yaodong hesitated, and said again: "Should we settle it after a month in the future, and fix a settlement date? If we are at sea, we can flexibly change it. Otherwise, it's troublesome to settle it trip by trip, and the wages are also settled once a month."

"Just before you came, we also discussed this matter. We were thinking about waiting for you to come over, settle the accounts, and then tell you, to see what date to set." Pei Fu said with a smile.

"Discussed it? It seems everyone thought of it together. Then let's do it at the end of the month! Settling once a month is just right."

"Okay, then at the end of the month."

A Guang also took advantage of their talking to add and subtract one by one, "Total remaining 1733 yuan and 40 cents. Dongzi's miscellaneous goods are still counted as 10 yuan, then one share is 174 yuan, 30 cents, and 4 cents."

His matter-of-fact words, and no one was tactless enough to make a sound. It was just some miscellaneous goods.

Although the quantity was a bit more, they gave money anyway. Half-buying and half-giving was also fine. Big money was already earned.

Ye Yaohua also exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Then this trip shared more than the previous few days?"

He thought that since they returned early and it only took 4 days, this trip would share 10-something yuan less. He didn't expect it to be 11 yuan more!

Too unexpected, too surprised.

Pei Fu smiled, "This trawling matter at sea is hard to say. Sometimes a net comes up with more, sometimes less. Whether it's worth money also depends on it. It's all a matter of luck. It's normal to have more or less, and the price sold often fluctuates."

"What's more, refueling and adding ice during the period were also less than the last trip, because there was some left over from the last trip. Returning early today, there was still some left on the boat."

Ye Yaohua nodded repeatedly, "Right, it is said that the goods dragged up on the last day were also many, and they sold for a good price ashore."

"It is like this."

"Then if everyone has no problem, then share the money?"

A Guang kept swinging and turning the pen in his hand. He didn't know if that pen grew on his hand, turning from his little finger to his thumb, and then from his thumb to his little finger, and it didn't even fall.

Ye Yaodong's eyes kept staring at the pen turning on his hand. Sure enough, after the technique was practiced, it wasn't easy to forget.

He was the first in the class to turn books in the first grade!

Without interference, he could turn it for a minute!

He really didn't know when A Guang practiced the pen-turning technique.

Sigh, dropped out of school early. If he had known, he would have studied for two more years and practiced the pen-turning technique first. It looked too cool, felt more powerful than turning books. He didn't know if Ahai could do it?

"No opinion."

Zheng Shu smiled: "Hehe, if there is money to share, what opinion can there be? Just heard, is it going to be a typhoon? Then we can't go out to sea for the next few days. This fishing boat delivery is not a good time."

"Indeed, actually delivering in July, the next two or three months are all typhoons. I don't know how many trips can be made intermittently. It's still Dongzi's delivery date that is good, delivered before the New Year."

"What's good? It's almost the New Year, who still goes? All advance to celebrate the New Year. But it's also good to get it early. Originally, it was said to be mid-year."

A Guang signaled Huimei to take the money, and then said: "It's quite good. Delivered before the New Year, just in time for happy events to enter the door to celebrate the New Year, and make a fortune after the New Year."

"Right."

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed good.

After settling the accounts, A Guang also remembered that he didn't see Ye Fu.

"Why didn't Dad come over tonight?"

"He went to the carpenter in Dongqiao Village to see if there are big buckets to buy. Otherwise, there is nothing to hold fermented fish sauce, and he has to buy a flatbed cart of salt back."

"You didn't order in advance?"

"Ordered 10 large-capacity ones a few days ago, but how can it be done so fast? I went to see if there are ready-made ones to take a few back first."

"Also, the quantity is so large, how much can be held by using small jars and water vats? Still have to order some big wooden buckets. Looking at it this way, your expense is also not small."

"Originally! These wooden buckets are quite expensive. If it weren't for my mother fermenting two big vats two years ago, and then sending them everywhere, there was still a big vat left at home. At the end of last year... it can also be said that the shop was handed over on New Year's Day, I moved the remaining one to the shop to sell, and it was sold out in no time."

"So Dad thought about keeping these miscellaneous fish back a few days ago, but the risk is also great. Every few days, he brings back thousands of jin. By the time it is fermented and filtered next year, I guess there will be dozens of tons. I don't know how long it will take to sell, and how many big wooden buckets are needed..."

Others thought about it and were also surprised and opened their mouths, and were also silent. The quantity is indeed a bit large...

Ordinary people can't bear it. Just the money to buy wooden buckets makes one's heart ache.

Ye Yaodong thought about it himself, and was also scared in his heart. Just A Guang's goods can have dozens of tons. If he adds his own boat, how long will he have to sell?

No, he must actively contact Zhou Laoban sometime and talk to him about the big batch of fish sauce. Otherwise, what if the speed of selling can't keep up with the speed of his production?

And it takes up too much space. His house, excluding the room where his parents sleep, and the one where the old lady is, which was taken to raise pigs, there are three rooms.

Today, pile up the wooden buckets again. Next time, they have to be piled in the workshop. Otherwise, where is the empty space to put them?

And if the goods are sent out early, the buckets can also be vacated to ferment again, or he can ask everywhere about plastic bag packaging in advance.

Bottle by bottle, the cost will be a bit larger, and the selling price will be more expensive. Bag packaging is better. Soda bottles can even be recycled for 5 cents.

Thinking about it, he had a headache again. Where can he ask about these packaging channels? Better ask Zhou Laoban first, the reseller has many channels.

Earning money is not easy!

A Guang heard the dozens of tons he calculated, and was also a bit tongue-tied...

After a while, he found his voice again, "Do you want to do a little less? If it goes well, there can be thousands of jin in a month. Three jin of fish produce one jin of fish sauce, then there really must be ten or twenty tons a year."

"If it can't be sold out all the time, it has to be recycled. This is powerful. Otherwise, do you want to do a little less? Dry more fish dried, shrimp dried, and those dried goods, isn't that good?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "I have a number in my heart, continue to do it first. The quantity is not considered large yet."

"It's not considered large yet..."

Ye Yaohua was worried to death when he heard it. After calculating, there could actually be ten or twenty tons a year. Now he already didn't dare to imagine the quantity of each fermentation.

"It's okay. Anyway, selling is a problem for next year. The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"Then you look at it yourself..."

"Adong has ability. Young people have courage. Dozens of tons of fish sauce, say do it and do it... We old guys can't compare... Hehe..." Pei Shu said with a smile.

Zheng Shu also echoed with a smile...

Everyone chatted idly about Adong's fish sauce topic, chatting while waiting, until Ye Huimei took out their respective shares, and the three of them happily took their respective shares.

Ye Yaodong shared 523 yuan. The two cents were directly wiped off when talking just now. Compared to the last time, he earned 34 yuan more!

He thought happily, still have to be one step ahead to earn money. If the hands and feet are fast later, they can also eat.

If it's later, after a few years, I guess I can only drink soup. After a few decades, it's really all gambling.

"Hard work, Pei Shu. Let's wait until the typhoon passes before talking. Hope there's no influence here, at most passing by, the typhoon tail sweeps over, and it's fine after passing."

"Look in two days, also hope it doesn't rain. Otherwise, your shrimp dried won't be easy to dry."

"Right, if it rains and can't dry, then have to stir-fry in a big pot."

That would be much more troublesome, but there's no way. Who told him to earn this money? Shrimp dried is a bit better than fish dried, and can also be stir-fried.

These few months, it's better to focus on drying shrimp dried. Fish dried can be dried in large batches occasionally to replenish the inventory.

It's just this winter, fish dried can be dried more. The shop in the city looks stable now, and the sales of wholesale and retail are increasing day by day. He will have to reserve more next year.

"Then Old Pei, you have also been tired for a few days, just take advantage of this opportunity to rest. It's dark now, we won't disturb you, go back first."

"Hey, good, good, good..."

"Then Pei Shu, we will go first, sleep early."

"Good, good..."

Ye Yaodong and the others said goodbye with a smile, and walked toward the door while being sent off by them. Just happened to see a few men walking toward them, everyone greeted each other again.

And then they entered, and they went out.

Ye Yaohua walked on the road with Ye Yaodong, and said while walking: "Dongzi, those few just now should be looking for Pei Shu to inquire about the fishing boat, right?"

"Should be. Should be coming to ask about today's harvest, and the configuration of the fishing boat. Just compare the two harvests, and everyone will have a number in their heart. I guess quite a few people will run to the shipyard to take a look tomorrow, right?"

Ye Yaohua nodded, "I think so too. When I came over, people on the road asked me if I went to share money again? This trip should share quite a lot, right?"

"Tomorrow the wind and waves are not big yet, haven't reached us, going out to sea is also okay. Do you want to go out to sea at night?"

"No, it's been sunny for many days, and haven't rested. Just take it as resting in advance. Chatted with Big Brother at night, and Big Brother also said to rest. He should go to the shipyard with you tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm, Dad also wants to go together. Do you want to go?"

Ye Yaohua smiled honestly, "Then I'll go with you. Just happened I haven't been there either, go open my eyes, grow my knowledge, take a look and see what the shipyard looks like."

"Quite simple, messy everywhere, but the venue is quite big. If you haven't been there, you can go take a look."

"Hmm... Dongzi, if Big Brother also wants to partner with someone to order a big boat, do you want to buy shares?"

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong looked at his second brother in surprise. He really hadn't thought about this problem. What he thought was his eldest brother partnering with others, not him partnering with his eldest brother.

Is his eldest brother willing to pay such a big cost?

"You mean Big Brother orders a boat himself, and pulls people to partner?"

"Not that meaning, just if Big Brother partners with others, the money in hand is not enough, and pulls you, do you want to partner?"

Ye Yaodong pondered for a while, "I haven't thought about it. This depends on who he partners with. If it's with the Zhou brothers or the Lan brothers on the side, or his friends, I won't get involved. At most, if his money is not enough, I'll lend him some first."

Partnering back and forth like this is too troublesome, and it's not what he is familiar with. A Guang is because he is a brother-in-law and a friend, so he thought about occupying as much as he could.

He didn't want to get involved with outsiders. He had already laid out enough stalls. There were already so many boats at home, and shops, and workshops. He didn't want to mess around with so many, and have another thing that made him worry for nothing.

"Then I won't get involved either."

Ye Yaodong: "?"

Ye Yaohua chuckled, "I still want to discuss something with you?"

"What thing?"

Ye Yaodong pondered in his mind, what did his second brother want to ask him again?

"I think, if we can earn a bit more money later, I want to add another floor to the house at the end of the year. After all, the three of us brothers are side by side in three rooms there. I can't just build my own in the middle."

"The three children at home are also slowly growing up. The two daughters can't sleep with their brother all day. So, I want to discuss with you, if we build, we build together, and it will be easier to start construction together."

"However, we also have to earn more money in the second half of the year, hehe~"

Ye Yaodong had just gone through it in his mind, and thought his second brother was going to ask him about renting out the shop in the city. He didn't expect his second brother to have the idea of building a floor up.

This is okay, he doesn't have much opinion.

"You haven't asked Big Brother yet? I have no opinion. If we build, we build together. After building, we can also ask Dad and Mom if they want to move over together."

"No, it's just that I chatted with your second sister-in-law a few days ago, and thought you shouldn't have any opinion, so I just mentioned it casually. How can we earn more money first."

He understood. It should be that they shared a sum of money a few days ago, which made the couple talk at night, talked about the grand blueprint for the future, and were moved to build a floor.

He estimated that they were also calculating that they would earn a big sum after catching jellyfish.

His second sister-in-law's excited expression that night, he could already imagine that she, like him, had already calculated the money that hadn't been earned in the next half year into her pocket.

Hahaha~

"It's okay, but it can be a few months later to tell Big Brother. Otherwise, if you tell him now, Big Brother and Sister-in-law will definitely refuse."

"I think so too, so I told you first."

However, Ye Yaodong thought that he estimated that if jellyfish earned money, his eldest brother and sister-in-law would also be reluctant to take it to build a house. His second brother's hope would fall through.

After all, they also thought about investing in a big boat, and after paying a deposit, there would be a final payment. They would definitely want to hold it in their hands to pay the final payment for the big boat. Money must be spent on the blade.

When they agree to build a house, how can they see the big boat making a profit?

Forget it, talk about it later. ===== CHAPTER 879 =====
