Chapter 971: Fish Sauce Packaging Problem

Wang Guangliang nodded like a garlic masher, but his eyes tried to stare at the gun in A Guang's hand as much as possible.

Ye Yaodong also slowed down, turned the tractor, and stopped it horizontally on the road.

The people behind were running and shouting with sticks, but unexpectedly saw the tractor parked horizontally. They were surprised, and their footsteps slowed down a bit at the same time.

"Gun!"

"Gun!"

Those few people shouted in horror at the same time, and their footsteps quickly braked and stopped in place.

The pitch-black muzzle was pointing at them. They didn't dare to move, and didn't dare to run around. Their faces turned pale and stood in place.

"Throw the sticks away, get out."

The few people looked at each other, panicked, immediately threw the sticks into the field on the side, and then ran away, quickly running back.

After they ran a short distance, A Guang proudly carried the gun on his shoulder and said triumphantly to Ye Yaodong: "Done, didn't waste a bullet! They are all cowards without guts, scared away after a scare."

Ye Yaodong also turned the tractor back to the road. "They are all hooligans in the countryside who don't learn anything, and have no organization. In the face of life, how much guts can they have? If there is a chance to run, they must run quickly."

"It's just that it's quite ritualistic, robbing also has to jump out, and shout two slogans first."

A Guang curled his lips in disgust. "Watched too many TV shows, influenced, learning by example."

"Dongge, where did you get the gun? Is there only one on the car? Can you teach me how to use it? When I send goods in the future, maybe it can come in handy!"

Wang Guangliang's eyes never moved from the gun, staring at it with fiery eyes, as if it were some peerless beauty.

"Teach you later, the recoil of this is very strong, and it's too wasteful to shoot empty shots. Put it on the car first. When A Guang takes us to the mountain to hunt wild game, teach you by the way."

Wang Guangliang was even more pleasantly surprised. "Ah? We are still going to take guns to the mountain to hunt wild game, really? When?"

"We'll see! Sit well, otherwise you'll be thrown out later."

"Okay, okay, Dongge, the greatest luck in my life is knowing you. Damn, now the whole village knows that I work for you, thirty or forty yuan a month, better than workers in the factory, the key is that it is easy, no technology needed."

"Every day just help move and lift and dry dried fish, or watch for a night. My father envied to death, and wanted me to ask if you need a gatekeeper. I said you have seven or eight dogs at home, where do you need people."

People are not as good as dogs, good son.

"Got it, nagging, sit well."

"Guangge, can you let me touch that gun twice?"

"Let you touch the gun barrel twice..."

"Put it away when you've touched enough, put it under the seat, lest it misfire. This thing can't be touched indiscriminately, it will cost lives if you are not careful."

"Know, I'll just touch it a few times. My family also had earth guns before, and later they were confiscated by the village committee, but your gun is different."

Of course, his is a 56 semi-automatic, a classic among classics.

Walking this road every other day, and nearby villages know he sells dried fish, often sending goods to the city, there are always some unruly people who want to take risks.

The target is definitely not those dried fish goods that are worthless to them and useless. They can't carry a few bags, they must want to grab him and rob some money.

Carrying a gun on the road is also very necessary for self-defense.

There was also a robbery on the road last year, but the tractor was driven directly into the ditch, and the person's leg was crushed, which was calm for a long time.

Now it is also approaching the end of the year, and there are more people with tight hands, and there are always adventurers.

Every end of the year is the most uneasy, and it is also the time when all kinds of theft and robbery are most rampant.

"Dongzi, you all stand up, I'll put the gun back."

Ye Yaodong was a bit worried about those half-grown boys, thinking that if he went back, he would put the gun away and not put it under the tractor seat.

Anyway, now he takes them to run, and when he goes out, he brings the gun and puts it under the tractor seat. When he hands it over to him to send goods, he will fix it under the seat.

Those people will have to wait until after the new year to be able to graduate.

Bumping all the way, following big cars when there are big cars, following trucks when there are trucks, following tractors when there are tractors, they arrived in the city safely.

Lin Fu had already received a call that a batch of fish sauce would be sent over today to be sold in the shop in the city, and he had been waiting there long ago.

Fortunately, they are all young and strong, and straw ropes are tied on the big vats, which is easier to move. Three people lift it and slowly unload it into the empty shop.

Ye Yaodong now has five shops in his hands, one for himself, one rented out, and three left are newly bought. Three now have one more to store dried fish, and now one more to store fish sauce.

The remaining one will also be used to store dried fish when the time comes. After all, he plans to store one hundred thousand jin. Where is it enough to use one shop as a warehouse? Two shops are hanging. Fortunately, it is considered storing while selling now, drying one after another.

There is no ten thousand jin that can be stored on hand now. It is really impossible to put it down. The family can also put a few thousand jin first.

"Adong, how do you plan to sell this?"

"Still the same as last year, one dime and five cents per jin, and a soy sauce bottle can hold about one jin."

"No, didn't you say there are several tons? When will this one-jin-by-one-jin be sold? I want to ask if you want to wholesale directly?"

"Sell everything. There must be people who just want to try it, or people in nearby villages will also have needs. Retail is also okay, wholesale is also okay. Peddlers wholesale one vat by one vat, it counts as one dime and two cents. Like Boss Zhou and the others who want more, it's one dime."

"But for wholesale, this vat has to be counted as money. You have to add money, unless they take a vat to hold it themselves, or collect a deposit. Whenever it is sold out, the vat can be brought over to continue holding or directly refund the money."

This vat costs several yuan, he can't lose money.

"That's also okay."

"I'll paste a red paper on my door later, write wholesale and retail of a large amount of fish sauce, salty and delicious. By the way, write a red paper for wholesale and retail of dried fish and shrimp meat, and replace the original one, it has faded."

"Right right, otherwise people don't know we have fish sauce. Last year you pasted wholesale and retail of dried fish and shrimp meat on the door later, and the business was particularly good during that period, attracting a large group of people."

"This is the effect of the billboard. Otherwise, with so many shops, who knows what each family sells? Some people have no time to stroll past one by one. You write an advertisement sticker, and people know what you sell in the shop."

"Leave two vats on the car and don't move them first, then move three or four to the shop, don't put them in the warehouse here." Ye Yaodong exhorted them and continued to move a few jars to the shop.

After sending a batch today, I have to come over to send it tomorrow. After filling the warehouse just now, I will put the rest at home first, and send it when part of it is sold.

The first batch of two hundred big vats ordered will probably not take long to be consumed. After going back, I have to continue to order. After all, the pottery factory's production is not that fast.

Ye Yaodong moved everything well, and after the red paper on the door was pasted, he also pondered in his heart and made a simple arrangement in his heart.

After finishing, he went to his brother-in-law's shop for lunch and chatted for a few words. This market is supported by the government, so there is no one making trouble, collecting protection fees, etc., and the couple is also full of energy.

"Wait until the winter vacation, then pick up the children to help, and you two can have a helper."

"That's what I thought, so I was just about to ask you when you will send goods next time, and bring the three children together."

"This is simple. I will come over to send fish sauce in the next few days. When I go back and ask when they are on vacation, I will pick them up and stay at my place for one night, and then send them to you the next day."

"Then they will probably stay at your place for two days and won't want to come over."

Ye Yaodong laughed.

Some time ago, I heard A Qing say that Lin Guangyuan and the others heard that they had to go to the city to work during the winter vacation, and they all wailed.

From being full of excitement at the beginning, saying they were going to the city, going to the city to be gilded, to being listless and regretting it later, where was there any excitement? They wished they could go back to school to study immediately.

Saying they went to the city, actually they hadn't even been to the city half a step. During the summer vacation of more than two months, they circled around the shops in the market all day, going out before dawn and returning to the village after dark.

He hadn't even walked around the village properly. He worked and helped in the shop all day long. After the lunch break, he rarely had free time to play, and only at the door of the shop, it was too bitter.

"Without working so hard, how can you know the happiness of studying? Children have to be tempered like this to know that it is not easy for adults to earn money."

Lin Xiang Hui also said with a smile: "That is to say, let him know how hard it is to earn money and how happy it is to study. Only after comparison can he know how to cherish it, so as not to not want to study every day. Other people's children want to study but have no chance."

"When the boys at home are on vacation, I will go and pick them up. It is estimated that the vacation time is about the same."

After chatting for a few words, he went to check the recent accounts with Lin Fu after the meal. He didn't rush to take the payment. He also told Lin Fu about Huimei's matter and asked him to accompany A Guang to find a house first.

Lin Fu had lived in the village for more than half a year, and from time to time he went to get close to the village head, sending some small gifts and local specialties, and soon integrated into the village.

Anyway, Lin Xiang Hui also lived in the village. Saying that the daughter and son-in-law came from outside, more couples wouldn't be abrupt. After all, the son and daughter-in-law came to do business, and it is normal for the daughter and son-in-law to come over for a few months.

It is best for A Guang to find some work to do, which seems more justified and normal.

There are not many people at noon, he and his mother-in-law just look at it in the shop.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after the red paper on the door was pasted, someone came by reputation.

There are really not many people selling fish sauce now. This thing is not indispensable, and it is not as widely sold as soy sauce. Only the southern coastal areas will eat it.

Basically, it is made by the rural families by the sea, and then divided among relatives. Whoever takes a little, this thing is laborious to make, and it is not valuable. Making a little bit is not enough to be laborious.

If there is a place to buy, most people would rather spend money to buy it.

However, the person who came just saw the red paper pasted on the door and came to take a look. In his heart, he wanted to buy a whole vat, but felt that it was not cost-effective to pay a deposit for a big vat or spend money to buy a big vat together, so he planned to bring one himself tomorrow to hold it.

This is also considered a good omen.

It's a pity that plastic buckets haven't been popularized yet, otherwise it would be more convenient to use plastic buckets for transportation and trading.

Sitting in the shop for two hours, scattered people also dealt with many people who came to ask. Using big vats is really a disadvantage. Things are not as valuable as containers. After asking one by one, they only said they would go back and bring things to hold.

Either they are nearby villagers, or peddlers circling the market.

Whenever there is that kind of one-jin plastic packaging, it will be more convenient, buying in small packages, but he must buy the corresponding machine, which is troublesome, so sell it like this first.

However, one vat was sold, and it was agreed that next time bring an empty vat to exchange for a full vat.

Shrimp meat and dried fish were sold a lot. Several people who came were really mostly peddlers, half were peddlers, all bought fifty jin.

He chatted with those peddlers for a few words, and people also said that shrimp meat and dried shrimp are better to sell, dried fish is average, but it is also okay.

"It seems that fish sauce is not easy to wholesale."

"If the quantity is large, it is not easy to sell. If the quantity is small, people around will take a bottle each, and it will be gone in a few days." Lin's mother also frowned and said.

"The main thing is that there is nothing to divide, all relying on bringing your own bottles. If you let people move a whole big vat away, it is not enough for the money of one vat."

"Anyway, sell it like this first, sell as much as you can."

Ye Yaodong also supported his chin in the shop, pondering while waiting for people, but he couldn't think of a way for the time being. Now they are all held in big vats.

After Lin Fu and A Guang came back, he asked them.

"I have already asked the neighbors to help inquire. If there is news, I will call back to tell you."

"Okay, then let's go first, let you look at the shop."

Lin Fu also handed him the money that had just been calculated, and let him take it back together.

He also told Lin Fu about the sales situation just now, and let the peddlers who come to wholesale in the future follow this, empty vat for full vat. If they don't sell it in the future, the empty vat can also come to redeem the deposit.

Lin Fu nodded and agreed.

There was nothing for him in the shop. Ye Yaodong took the money and planned to go to the army to send two vats of fish sauce, and then return home.

However, before leaving, he moved another vat of fish sauce from the warehouse to the tractor.

The mysterious operation made the other two people confused. What are you doing moving up and down?

"After sending goods to the army later, pass by the county seat, and move a vat to Director Chen by the way."

"This vat of yours can let him eat for a lifetime."

"Who doesn't have some relatives and friends? It's not much to divide. The dried fish I just took some time ago, I guess people don't lack it. It just happens to move a vat of freshly baked fish sauce over."

"You are still better at climbing relationships, sending things so in place, without missing any."

"Average, try to maintain it, maybe there will be something to ask for in the future."

Ye Yaodong swayed and drove the tractor to the army, sent two vats of fish sauce, and unexpectedly received another order for two thousand jin of toadfish dried fish.

Had to take advantage of the tractor being in the city, and returned to the market, and then pulled another two thousand jin to the army.

When setting off to return, it was already three o'clock, and the sun had already hidden into the thick clouds.

Ye Yaodong also hurried, and when it was just dark at five o'clock, he rushed to the county seat, moved a vat of fish sauce to Director Chen, and at the same time received the warm hospitality of his wife again.

Courtesy is not strange, what is sent are harmless local specialties, and no return is required, just treat it as normal walking, the key is that the quantity is large, and it is convenient for them to send some to others at will, and there is no worry.

"You tossed this thing out again? And sent a big vat, are you preparing to sell this fish sauce again?"

"Yeah, Director's high opinion, there are too many small miscellaneous fish dragged by the big boat, it's a waste to throw them away, and they were brought back together when coming back. Then I asked my mother to make it into fish sauce, sent some to the city, and at the same time sent you a vat. If you can't finish it, you can send some to relatives and friends. My family has a lot of this thing now."

"You are really good at tossing, everything can turn waste into treasure in your hands."

"Sigh, no money, so I can only toss and turn, see if I can become a little richer. If I don't toss and turn, I can only have no money all the time. Money will never fall from the sky."

"It's not wrong for young people to ponder more ways to earn money, not to mention that they are all local specialties from your coastal villages, it's quite good to turn waste into treasure."

"Don't know if it's treasure, anyway, put it there and sell it slowly."

"How do you sell this fish sauce?" He asked curiously.

"Retail one jin one dime five, wholesale one whole vat starts one dime per jin."

"That's not cheap? I see your big vat is more expensive than the thing."

"Yeah, anyway, it's the same price as soy sauce and vinegar, sell as much as you can. It's no way that the big vat is more expensive than the thing, there must be a container to hold it. Anyway, every household brings their own bottles to hit it. After hitting it, our big vat can be recycled and continue to be loaded and transported. It's just that wholesale volume is not easy to sell, the container is more expensive than the liquid, and the big vat is fragile."

"Actually, it's about the same, otherwise you can only ask some machinery factories if there are any dispensing machines. Aren't there many plastic packages now? Like those instant noodles are plastic bag packages, ask to see if they can hold these liquids, that bag by bag is convenient."

"I think so too. If it can be bagged, isn't it time-saving and convenient to transport, and it is convenient for everyone to buy and sell, no need to bring bottles and cans to hold."

Director Chen sat up straight and said seriously: "Yeah, this is okay, otherwise this kind is also fragile, and the loss is not small if it is broken by collision on the road."

"Sell it like this first, wait until when you go to the province, then see if there is any bagging packaging machine, is it expensive."

Or go back and ask Lin Jishang?

Don't know if he is at home. He said he would go out to take a look two days ago, don't know when he will come back.

"I'll also keep an eye on it for you, some comrades-in-arms have transferred to machinery factories."

Ye Yaodong was happy and responded happily, "Then thank you very much. If it's troublesome, forget it, I'll ponder it again. Anyway, it's okay to buy it slowly with a big vat for a few years."

"No problem, this is just asking casually."

Regardless of whether it works or not, Ye Yaodong is still very happy with the leader's attitude, willing to help actively, indicating that the perception of him is not bad.

Anyway, he knows that it seems that it won't be long before there are vinegar bags, soy sauce bag packaging. It's just that he doesn't know which year it is. He only remembers that there were some in the 90s. It is not popularized now, but he doesn't know if this packaging machine has come out.

Thinking about it, it is also troublesome to death. Doing one thing will bring out a series of corresponding problems.

But he doesn't understand anything, fishing is the most trouble-saving.

The sky outside has darkened, Ye Yaodong didn't dare to stay too long, said enough and left directly, he still has to go to the shipyard.

Anyway, the sky is already dark, not afraid of being later.

The first time he took Wang Guangliang and A Guang to the leader's house, both of them were nervous and didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and they were silent throughout the whole process, sitting there restrained, just listening to him chat.

After leaving, their hands and feet relaxed, and their minds also relaxed.

"Dongge you are too amazing, I admire you too much, it is really great to know you..."

"Shut up! Hurry up and get on the car, go to the shipyard for a stroll first, and then hurry back."

"Hey, I'll go back and brag to those people, so the buildings in the city look like this, the legendary sofa is so soft, so comfortable..."

Wang Guangliang was babbling throughout the whole process, and the whole person looked unusually excited.

Ye Yaodong carefully slowed down and drove to the shipyard throughout the whole process.

The shipyard is anyway on 24-hour shifts, and it is also lit at this time.

After understanding, it can be launched in about half a month. After letting him go back and take advantage of the trend to see a date, he was satisfied and hurried back.

Launching in about half a month is also very fast, just in time for the delivery of the boat before the new year, and driving the new boat back majestically.

When Ye Yaodong went back, his father was patrolling inside. A row of corners of the workshop was piled with a large batch of toadfish, and there were many stools on the empty ground around. Those aunts estimated that they had just finished work and went back.

His tractor just drove to the door of the workshop, his father ran over from the workshop, and ran beside his driving tractor.

After he parked the tractor, he said cracklingly.

"Just sending goods, why so late? The sky is dark, it's almost the new year, it's not peaceful outside, it's better not to walk at night, don't stay outside at night, if you can come back early, you still have to come back early."

"Doing things takes time, how can you want what time you want, I have tried my best to rush back early."

"Then if you knew it was so laborious and time-consuming, why didn't you set off earlier? Morning? The sun is out, and you left at seven o'clock. If you set off at five o'clock to get home, I guess the sky is still bright."

"Oh, don't nag, how can you card so well."

"Why do you have to card time? People would rather be early than late, you have to card just right."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father. "What do you know?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about his father. After the tractor was turned off, he took out the rocker under the seat, and also took out the gun, preparing to take it back later.

In the middle of winter, the quilt is so warm, who is willing to get up at four or five o'clock? He didn't know that he would be delayed for so long today?

If it wasn't delayed for so long, didn't he climb out of the quilt early in vain?

A Guang helped speak. "Dad, I spent a bit more effort looking for a house, and then Dongzi ran two more trips to send fish sauce and dried fish to the army."

Ye's father didn't care about this at all, he cared more about the big boat.

"Didn't you say that you would go to the shipyard to see how the boat is when you come back today? Did you go? It's so late, did you come back directly?"

"Went, let mother look at the date of launching after half a month."

"Really? So fast? Really can be delivered before the new year?" Ye's father happily rubbed his hands back and forth. "I'll tell your mother now, let her look at the date early tomorrow."

"What's the rush, the date after half a month, doesn't necessarily have to look at it early tomorrow morning..."

Before he finished speaking, his father had already run away.

"So anxious..."

"Dad looks happier than you, and more anxious than you."

"Isn't it, asking every day, urging me to go to the shipyard to see every day, just afraid that it won't be delivered before the new year, the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious."

"So Dad is thinking about taking advantage of the new year to be majestic, otherwise there will be no such taste after the new year."

"So I am also anxious, fortunately it can be delivered before the new year, he is still anxious at this moment, ran away in a hurry, I also wanted to tell him, let him not go out to sea during this period, just rest at home, rest early for the new year."

"Anyway, it's windy these days, and he didn't go, it doesn't matter if you say it later."

"So late, you also go back early."

"Hmm, then I'll go back first."

Ye Yaodong held the gun in one hand, the rocker in the other, and carried the gun on his shoulder, but before he walked out of the workshop door, he was surrounded by Wang Guangliang and others.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Want to rebel?"

He kicked forward, but was dodged by the twins A Da.

"Hehe... didn't kick..."

Ye Yaodong kicked towards A Xiao on the side again, and this time it was a direct hit.

"Dongge, where are you taking the gun?"

"Take it home, otherwise put it here for you to play?"

"Hey hey hey..." several people nodded like garlic mashers.

"Believe it or not, I'll shoot one by one, biubiubiu~ go away, teach you how to use it when you are free later, can't touch it now, misfire is not a play."

"Okay."

"Dongge, are you still sending fish sauce to the city tomorrow? Is it my turn?"

"Take turns one by one, if you want to follow tomorrow, then you. If you are really idle, go to the mountain to cut firewood, send me more firewood, don't all be here. Go home and sleep, leave two people to watch here at night, you have to arrange the time yourself, take turns, don't let the workshop have no one to watch."

"Don't worry, we have all arranged shifts, just seeing that you haven't come back, we waited here first, it's not very late now, just winter gets dark early."

"The wind is too strong, those who should go back should go back early, I can lock the workshop door after I go out."

"Good good..."

Ye Yaodong continued to carry his gun and rocker and walked out, and a group of dogs also surrounded him left and right. ===== CHAPTER 972 =====
