Chapter 957: Buying Land

They kept drinking and chatting, discussing each other's plans, until the wine had passed three rounds and it was almost nine o'clock. Ah Guang got up with unfinished interest; he still had to go and make an appointment with Uncle Zhou to go to the city tomorrow.

Ye Yaodong also cleaned up the mess on the table, left the bowls and chopsticks on the stove for Ah Qing to wash tomorrow, and by the way, locked the courtyard gate.

The surroundings were quiet. Except for his house, there was not a single light. The nearby residents had gone to bed early.

He checked the doors and windows of the house, locked them all, and then turned off the lights and returned to the room.

Ye Xiaoxi was curled up in a corner of the wall, wrapped in her quilt, a tiny little ball. When he climbed onto the bed, she even moved a little, wiggled to turn over, then climbed back up to lie flat on her pillow, sleeping with her bottom stuck up in the air.

Ye Yaodong gave her bottom two light pats. "Sleeping with your bottom stuck up like that, are you a frog or a toad?"

"She is sleeping well, why do you care how she sleeps? Don't move her, just sleep your own."

"You're not asleep, waiting for me?"

"Waiting for your head. I was woken up by you. Just lay down and you're babbling. If you wake her up, you come and coax her."

"I'll coax if I coax."

Lin Xiuqing turned to her side, back to him, too lazy to talk to him. Babbling non-stop in the middle of the night.

"Wife, when we were drinking and chatting earlier, Ah Guang said that among our few friends, I am the most promising now..."

"Don't you think I'm awesome..."

"I also think I'm amazing. How long has it been, and I have everything without a sound. Now people everywhere in the ten miles and eight villages know that there is such a person in our village..."

"Sigh, it's just that they have been calling me Salted Fish Dong, it's really ugly. It would be better to call me Boss Ye, Boss Dong..."

"Wait until tomorrow, if I start selling fish sauce, will I have to be called Fish Sauce Dong? This is also ugly..."

"Hey, when we have money, let's buy a few more boats and let them call me Boat King Dong. This nickname is okay, this nickname is good, and loud..."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes in her heart. After drinking too much horse urine, she babbled non-stop. I don't know how much rice wine the two drank.

The rice wine brewed at home tastes sweet, and it feels like there is no degree. After the fact, the energy is sufficient. Looking at his degree of babbling, he drank a lot, and his head was big when listening.

"If you drink too much, go to sleep. What are you babbling about? Still talking non-stop, I have to listen to you bragging in the middle of the night."

"How is it bragging? What I said is true. Now people can praise me very much."

"You are even proud."

"Proud, of course I have to be proud. I mixed it out by my ability, why can't I be proud."

"Sleep, sleep, know you are amazing." Lin Xiuqing coaxed him like a child, patted him twice.

Ye Yaodong came to spirit and started rubbing Yuan Yuan again.

Early the next morning, the dazzling sunlight shone through the window. A thin newspaper was not enough to block the strong light. Ye Yaodong turned over, hugged the quilt and continued to sleep.

It was just that the voices in the courtyard were constant, which drove away his sleepiness.

It is almost like this every day. It is not easy to sleep in this year. There are diligent people everywhere, and they all get up early to whisper while doing things and chatting.

There were few people nearby last year and the beginning of the year, and the morning was still quiet. A few more households moved in some time ago, and I haven't seen it quiet since then. People on the mountain get up earlier than those by the sea.

He couldn't lie down anymore. There were things to do today. Seeing that it was past seven o'clock, he immediately got up.

After he finished cleaning up and eating, and went around the house and workshop, there was someone in the village committee, so he went out slowly.

Unexpectedly, he saw the children who had gone out early chasing and running on the road, and they were moving further and further away from the village entrance.

These few little rabbits, it's strange if they can study.

He sat at the door of the village head's office in the village committee and waited for a while, and didn't wait for the village head and Chen Shuji until eight-thirty.

"Busy? We thought you forgot about the application for land use, and didn't plan to want it."

"Morning, how could this be forgotten? It's just that I've been busy these few days, not at home, and running around, so I came here now, and it just happened to leave you a few more days to consider carefully."

The village head took the key to open the door of his office, and then greeted them to go in.

As soon as he sat down, he searched for a bunch of keys to open the drawer and said: "It's already been done for you, just waiting for you to come over and sign."

Chen Shuji added: "You are also a celebrity in the village now. The venue is approved for you to set up a workshop. When it is said later, it is also the industry of our village, which is also good for the village's reputation."

The village head handed the written document to him while saying: "You took everyone to Zhejiang to catch jellyfish this year, and everyone earned a lot of money. Everyone praised you, thinking that there shouldn't be anyone who has an opinion on approving so much land to you."

"Thank you, it still depends on your accommodation." Ye Yaodong took it beautifully.

"That piece of land next to it, we calculated it a few days ago, directly enclosed to the soil slope by the side of the Tianhou Temple, which is about two acres of land."

"The dried fish workshop next to it also has one and a half acres. If the land on the side is divided into two, the area for you is not enough, so it is all allocated to you. It doesn't make much sense to leave a little bit there."

"Right, right, right..." Ye Yaodong echoed and nodded non-stop while looking.

"So we also discussed it. It's better to give it all to you. It's just that when the land was approved to you last time, the usage fee was already reduced. This time, it can't be reduced."

Ye Yaodong also saw that the list was written with 2,200 yuan, which was more than half more expensive than the dried fish workshop.

However, being able to buy such a large piece of land for 2,200 yuan was already a big profit.

The law in this era is not perfect. If it is bought, it is his, and it will not change.

"Okay, okay, thank you. No problem, I have no opinion at all. I obey the arrangements of the two leaders. How much you divide is how much, how much money you say is how much, we do things according to the regulations."

Both were very satisfied with his attitude.

"If your workshop is done with sound and color, it can be considered a contribution to the village. When you need people to help later, asking villagers to work can also create income for the villagers."

"Definitely, definitely, asking people to work must be asked from our village first. More than half of this village is my relative by marriage."

"Hmm, if the amount is no problem, let's go over and re-measure it again later. If there is no problem, sign and pay, and then you can do whatever you want with that piece of land."

"Why not take advantage of the fact that it's just work and not busy, and go to see it together? Settle the matter early?"

"Also, let's go now."

Ye Yaodong beautifully put the list on his hand, watching them call three more people, and a group of people walked to the beach together.

The villagers on the road saw them passing by, and they all curiously asked what they were going to do?

So many people from the village committee would not walk together for no reason.

"Go to the beach to measure the land."

"Whose house is going to build a house again?"

"Aiyo, everyone is squeezing to the beach now, and want to build a house over there? They used to dislike that side, and a large piece of land was left empty there, and no one was willing to go there to build a house."

"Everyone thinks the feng shui over there is good now..."

"Then whose house is going to build a house again?"

Their passing attracted the attention of some women. The men went to sea or worked, and the women were weaving nets and mending nets at home, so they followed the gossip.

Each of them looked at the excitement, so they brought the wooden shuttle in their hands, and while gossiping, they didn't delay work at all.

"Adong is also walking together. Isn't his house just built? Isn't it the feng shui they brought up?"

"Estimated to be built for his old father and mother to live in?"

"Nonsense, is it necessary for the two old people to build another set? They can just add height to it, get a high-rise building, which is enough to live in, and it looks better, and it sounds better to say it out, all built into a high-rise building."

"The old house also looks quite big, and it's still good..."

"Follow and take a look, and ask by the way."

After everyone followed and asked what to do with measuring the land?

The reply of the village committee made them drop their glasses.

"Adong wants to buy land again? Isn't there already a workshop built? What other workshop to build?"

"Not adding a high-rise building, but want to buy land again? Isn't that dried fish workshop big enough?"

"What is the new workshop going to do?"

"Adong is really amazing, earned so much money at a young age, and wants to buy land again."

"Earned a lot of money, and haven't seen him have any movements recently. Other people came back a few days ago, and the three turns and one sound that were missing were all made up, and the TV was bought, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was passed like the Spring Festival for them. Some also started to build houses and high-rise buildings. It is also very normal for him to buy land."

"This is true, haven't heard that they want to build a house or something, and only came to measure the land until now, it is also quite able to keep the wealth."

"So his money is getting more and more..."

Ye Yaodong listened to the discussions of the women behind him, and couldn't help but laugh. His spending places were all outside, so it was strange if they knew.

They walked together, and the people behind attracted more and more. When they arrived at the open space, the people nearby all ran over to watch.

It just happened that it was early in the morning, there was not much work, the sun was not big, if it was just building a house and measuring the land, there would definitely not be so many people, at most curiously ask two sentences.

Now it is measuring the land to build a workshop again, or it is the land that Adong, who is the center of the topic these two days, wants to buy. Everyone is more energetic, and finally there is movement.

Lin Xiuqing also ran over. After seeing Ye Yaodong, she went over and asked: "Has it been approved? Measuring the land immediately?"

"Hmm, I went to talk about it a few days ago. The village committee has already measured it once. Now re-measure it again. If there is no problem, sign and pay."

"Oh, how big?"

"This whole piece is given to me, about two acres."

"Ah! Will it be too big?"

"What's big? If it's big, let it be big. Who still dislikes having too much land in their hands?"

Ye Fu also happily said: "Land is of course the more the better. If it is not used, you can pull a few board carts of soil from the mountain, and plant some vegetables first."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sky. The vegetables planted in the courtyard, and the small piece of vegetables planted on the soil slope at the back door couldn't be finished, and still want to plant?

Every time the old lady picks vegetables, she has to read two sentences that it is a pity that they can't be finished, and let them push a board cart out to sell when they have time.

Also said that her legs and feet are not agile, otherwise, she would push the board cart out to sell by herself.

They were busy drying fish inside and outside non-stop, and she was there feeling sorry for drying dried vegetables, and the ones that couldn't be dried or pickled couldn't be kept, so they were sent everywhere to nearby neighbors and relatives.

Even when delivering goods back and forth, the tractor was loaded with a full car. Otherwise, the old lady would have to stuff a few baskets of vegetables, let him take them to the city and sell them by the way.

When measuring the land in the village committee, the villagers watching the excitement around were also discussing.

"How big is this measurement? So long..."

"Could it be that this whole piece is to be bought by him?"

"Ah! Such a large piece of land is to be bought? Then if it is enclosed, it will cost a lot of money."

"Must be a few thousand..."

"This is also too rich? All the money is pasted on the wall..."

Lin Xiuqing also felt sorry. The labor cost of building the wall must be more expensive than buying the land.

Ye Yaodong ran back and forth with the people from the village committee, and it took more than twenty minutes to measure the land. The villagers were only convinced that he really bought this large piece in front of him.

"No problem, right? The numbers are all right."

"No problem, I will sign immediately."

Ye Yaodong wrote his big name awkwardly on the list with a few brushes.

Looking at the crooked words, he felt that he had to take time to practice his name. Maybe there would be many places where he would have to sign later.

This dog-climbing handwriting is a bit unpresentable.

"Send the money to the village committee after going home later."

"Okay, you have one list and I have one. You have to keep it well. The seals on it have also been stamped in advance."

"Definitely, this is my land deed."

The onlookers on the side curiously asked: "This is fine? How much does such a large piece of land cost?"

"A few thousand!"

"Hiss... a few thousand? So expensive?"

"My god, I don't have a few thousand yuan even if I sell my whole family, developed..."

"You just know they developed? You knew when they came back from catching jellyfish. Other people bought this and that, but their family had no movement. Now they come out with buying land directly."

"So rich, it's also normal to buy land..."

As they went home, went home, and returned to the village committee, the watching villagers also followed behind, discussing and returning to the village.

It is estimated that the after-dinner talk for the next few days will probably be this, and it will not stop until a few days or other new gossip comes out.

After Lin Xiuqing took the land deed home, she was also happy in her heart, and the family's industry increased by one.

She carefully folded this list, put it together with the shop list and the previous land deed, and several pre-ordered fishing boat contracts, and by the way, she opened the lists and looked at them again.

"Landlady, don't look at it, drool is flowing down, hurry up and take out the money."

She turned her head and glared at him with a reproachful smile. "Isn't this taken out? So I just looked at it by the way, to see if these lists are all there, and if they are not lost."

"You have keys locked, and there are people in our house all day long, so it won't be lost for no reason. Even if the village committee's list is lost, our list can still be well."

"Thinking that buying land only costs 2,000 yuan, but building a wall is more expensive, I feel sorry. It is really as the big guys said, pasting money on the wall."

"Think about it in a good way. Just relying on the dozens of tons of fish sauce stored in the workshop, as long as it is sold, it will pay for itself in less than a year, and it can also make a profit."

"Wait until it is sold, now it is not sold, you have already calculated the money into your hands first."

"Being happy in advance can also reduce worries. No problem, people have to think in a good place, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles."

"You are all crooked, one set after another."

Lin Xiuqing checked the lists one by one before putting them back, and then took out other keys to open the wardrobe and the box.

Watching her keys change and change, locked layer by layer, Ye Yaodong really felt full of security.

After she took out the money, he also counted it together, counted one thousand each, and the rest of the money was collected again.

The couple counted money and talked in the room, and Ye Fu and Ye Mu were also chatting non-stop with the neighbors on the left and right at the door happily.

The son is promising, and the parents have the most light on their faces.

Until they came out, Ye Mu hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

"Did you take the money? If you took the money, I will go to the village committee with you to pay."

"Go."

The main person left, and it didn't affect the chatting of the neighbors at all. Everyone surrounded Lin Xiuqing and talked, and all kinds of good words came out without money.

"What are you planning to do with the new land you bought?"

"Don't know yet, haven't planned, have to discuss and discuss before saying."

Things that haven't been done yet, Lin Xiuqing didn't want to say it so full, so as not to spread all over the sky.

"Haven't thought about it, so you bought it first? Heard it costs a few thousand yuan, isn't this a waste of putting it there?"

"Hehe, won't."

Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "Is it to put fish sauce and turn it into a fish sauce workshop?"

"Ah? Engage in a fish sauce workshop?"

"Fish sauce workshop? Fish sauce is so cheap, one bottle is one dime, you just buy land, build walls, all have to spend a few thousand yuan, so much capital, can you earn money?"

"More than that, if it is not open-air, you have to build a warehouse for fermentation. I see those big wooden barrels piled in the corner of your workshop, which must cost a lot of money to order. It may cost seven, eight, nine thousand or ten thousand yuan. This is also too ruthless to engage in, right?"

"You have to persuade your man, don't take such a big step, we have to come step by step. Although this trip earned a lot of money, we can't spend it like this."

"Was it originally placed in the old house? Later, when the quantity was too large, it was moved over, right? But you ferment fish sauce in the open space, and dry fish on top, it shouldn't affect it? Why spend so much money? Look at your fish sauce, it seems that it hasn't started to sell yet. Fermentation in the open air is faster, but it shouldn't be so fast, right?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "That's still early, it hasn't started to sell yet, only a few months. This is not that we haven't planned yet, you have already calculated it for us."

"This is not caring about you, feeling sorry for you? The money in your hands hasn't been warmed up yet, and it's all going to be scattered out. Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"Other people buy some small home appliances and spend at most a few hundred or a thousand yuan. If you want to engage in such a big workshop, that spending is fierce."

Sister-in-law Ye said: "Indeed, it would be better to just ferment in the original workshop, wouldn't it be the same? Just have a place to put it, and there will be money to earn after fermentation."

"Should be okay, anyway, his material money doesn't need a few yuan. Those shrimp meat and miscellaneous fish, heard that ten yuan is wrapped, and the work is all helped by Mother there..." Sister-in-law Ye suddenly said with a sour tone.

It's all cheap for their family.

Obviously they also have a share, but those miscellaneous goods were wrapped by Adong for ten yuan.

She estimated that all the dried shrimp meat ground out could earn a lot of money, not to mention the fish sauce fermented.

With such a large quantity, if you didn't buy land, you would definitely make a profit without losing.

Don't need to do anything yourself, others helped to do it.

Lin Xiuqing also heard the sour tone in her second sister-in-law's mouth. "Mother didn't help us for nothing, just like Father, we also paid Mother wages. The boys in the workshop were also invited by us to help move, help Mother ferment fish sauce, and watch the venue."

"Those shrimp meat and miscellaneous fish are also because Ah Guang and Adong have a good relationship. Adong had sold shrimp meat before, so Ah Guang thought about not pouring it back into the sea, and directly pulled it back to him, just counting some oil money, so as not to waste it. We are not taking it for nothing."

"Besides, we also occupy three shares, Ah Guang's family occupies five shares, and the right to speak is in Ah Guang's hands. They don't plan to want it, it's natural to give it to us."

"Originally, no one wanted it, and it was ready to be poured back into the sea. We chose first, and it was not wrong."

Sisters-in-law would compare each other, and long ago expected that the second sister-in-law would have gossip.

Fortunately, there was only the second sister-in-law. Big sister-in-law's family didn't participate in a share, otherwise, both would have opinions.

Ye Fu also said: "At the beginning, it was Dongzi who was tossing there. Since it is useful to take it back, isn't it given to him first? Didn't mention opinions at the beginning, now talking about seven and eight here, what is there to say?"

"Tell you to spend so much money to order wooden barrels, ask people to work, engage in workshops to toss, wait for fermentation for half a year or a year, are you willing to spend this money? Think that everything doesn't need to spend money and energy? Dongzi ordered those big wooden barrels and spent a thousand yuan, are you willing?"

"Do you think shrimp meat is so easy to handle? Do you know how much firewood it takes to cook? Just invited those boys, cut firewood all day long, and then cooked and dried, dried and ground, and then had to be transported to the city to sell."

"You still want to divide half, and sell it to Adong yourself?"

"From his hands, and then sell it to him?"

Sister-in-law Ye was laughed at by Ye Fu. "I just said it casually, and you said so many sentences."

Lin Xiuqing also softened her tone. "Just tell you, although those things are not valuable, the quantity is large, and the energy and other capital spent also have to spend a lot."

"Hehe, I just said it, you occupy a large share, of course it is up to you."

Sister-in-law Ye felt that she was asking for trouble, and after speaking, she turned around and sprinkled her door, looking for something to do for herself, so as not to be embarrassed.

Other neighbors laughed and changed the topic, and didn't mention their buying land to build a workshop.

"You have bought the land now, should you go to sea to work tomorrow?"

"Look at when Adong finishes his work? He has been running around since he came back, and hasn't rested. He has to rest at home for a few days first."

"That's right, have to rest at home for a few days, haven't been home for two months, and have to understand the situation at home..."

"Right, two months not at home, he also has to understand the situation at home..."

After Ye Yaodong came back, Lin Xiuqing and Ye Fu followed him into the house.

Everyone was busy with their own things, and didn't gather together to talk.

Ye Yaodong returned to the room and poured himself a large glass of tea before saying: "Done! That piece of land will be ours in the future."

"Then it's done, it can be considered that the things that should be done are all done."

"Almost, wait for a few days, then go to the city to drive the motorcycle back, set the tractor, and it will be temporarily coming to an end."

"When will the workshop start building?"

"Ask Big Brother and Second Brother later, when the house will be built. If we want to add a floor to the house, we have to move back to the old house for a month. If they want to add a floor immediately, then build the house first, and then build the workshop after building the house, taking turns."

"That's right, then wait for them to come back in the evening and ask."

"And Father, we will be quite busy next, and we have to build houses and workshops. We can't not leave people to watch. I plan to take one of my two boats out to rent, keep one boat in hand, and we two take turns going to sea?"

Ye Fu thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.

"Also okay, is it to rent to Big Cousin or Brother Brother Asheng first?"

"Both together? So as not to have opinions from Aunt, or opinions from Second Aunt. It is also troublesome to come to the door to babble later."

"That's right, both of them have worked for us for so long. Who to rent first, who to give later, is a problem. Anyway, one person can't do it, both have to go to sea together, let them join together first. After your big boat arrives at the end of the year, divide one boat each."

"Yes, I think so too. Although Second Aunt is a bit difficult to deal with, Brother Brother Asheng is a good person. After working for a year or a half, save more money, and then can find a reliable wife, and don't have to listen to Second Aunt's nagging all day. That family is unreliable."

"Then I will call them over to say, say things early, and save them from playing idle there all the time."

"Also okay."

Ye Yaodong also asked Ah Qing to calculate the wages for these few days. Although there was no work, it was agreed to pay by the month, and one or two days without work had to be calculated.

Ye Fu was anxious because of this. Call people over early, the agreed wages, until today is over, and can also send people to sea to earn money early.

Save from playing, losing money every day without going to sea, and having to pay one more day of wages. ===== CHAPTER 958 =====

It saves them from playing around there while still collecting wages; it's bad enough to lose a day's earnings from not going out to sea, but having to pay an extra day's wages on top of that is worse.
