Ye Yaodong saw him excited and full of energy, and he didn't forget to ask for credit for himself.

"Last year it went up by one point, and this year it went up by one point. I gave it directly to the villagers. The increased price didn't fall into my own hands. It was all given back to the villagers in our village."

Secretary Chen patted him on the shoulder happily, "Okay, okay, I knew you would not forget your roots. You got the right person. All the prices you raised in the past two years have been given to the village. Let us make more and you will make less."

"All the villagers in our village have to thank you. It's all thanks to you. Without you, the people in the village would not have had such a good life in the past two years. Now everyone has hope."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "That's right. I am also a member of our village. Without the blessing of the village, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks to you, I have some ability now, so I should give back to the village."

Secretary Chen looked pleased and said, "Well done, there need to be more people like you in the village who never forget their roots and don't forget to help the villagers when they get rich."

"It is all thanks to the support of the villagers that our village has prospered in the past two years. Under the management of the village committee, petty theft has decreased, and every household has become more harmonious."

"That's because everyone has made money. The men are not at home, and the women are concentrating on working at your place to make money. The whole family's strength is also going to one place, and the whole village's strength is going to one place, but

Instead of being prosperous, the whole village is harmonious."

"It makes sense. The whole family is working hard to make money. There is hope for life, but that doesn't mean there will be less conflicts."

"Haha, then the dried kelp this year costs 8 cents, right?"

"Yes, it was 6 points the year before last, 7 points last year, and 8 points this year."

There was no farming in the village the year before last, but there was an outbreak of wild kelp that year, and a lot of it was scattered on the sea. The villagers picked it up. He paid 6 cents for the villagers to collect it in scattered pieces.

Last year I asked Boss Zhou and he said I could add one penny, so he gave it all to the village.

This year, too, the extra money is given directly to the village, a total of 18 cents. Eight cents are given to the villagers, and the other 10 cents are earned by the villagers themselves, plus they bear the responsibility for round-trip transportation.

Although it doesn't seem like he's making more money, his output has increased this year, and he's actually making more money than last year.

When the time comes, he can also raise the retail price, and then go to the market to earn the little money the village earns.

Of course, if all the benefits are given to the villagers, he must tell them and let them know.

The stimulation of price can also encourage them to breed more in the coming year. If they make less this year, they can make back next year.

"Okay, let me tell them something right now. I get up at 2 o'clock every night to go to the sea to collect vegetables. I don't dare to stop at all. I am probably tired by now. Let me tell them something to cheer up."

After Secretary Chen finished speaking, he happily went to talk to everyone who was busy moving on the ship.

After hearing this, the men all beamed with joy and were extremely happy.

We are not afraid of hard work or tiredness. We just hope that our efforts will be rewarded. What we fear most is that our efforts will not be rewarded.

The news of the price increase was beyond expectations, and everyone was filled with energy, and some people began to shout.

"Great harvest, there is meat to eat..."

"Everyone, hurry up and eat meat after you finish..."

"Do it, do it..."

Ye Yaodong took one look at everyone's heartfelt joy, exchanged a few words with Secretary Chen, and then rode his bicycle back to tell Ah Qing.

Lin Xiuqing didn't care that the extra penny was earned by the villagers. Last year, she made a lot of money just by changing hands with a little effort. It seems that she will only make more this year, and it seems to be more trouble-free.

Last year, Ye Yaodong had to transport it to the city to sell it. This year, there is no need to worry about selling it. Regular customers and wholesale vendors all know where to buy it.

What's more, most of them have been booked, so it may not be enough.

"Just make up your mind, we won't make even a dime of profit anyway."

"It's not that much. Transportation also requires gas money, manual transportation is required for moving back and forth, and warehousing is required. We still have to reserve a portion of the goods to sell them slowly. The most important thing is that we need to advance the capital first."

"But I can still make a lot of money."

"Well, you have to make money, otherwise why would you bother to do it? The village has just started doing it in the past two years. Make less and let the village make more. We will make more in a few years."

"Okay, as long as you make some money, go back and change your shoes and pants first. Look at the condition of your bicycle. It needs to be washed."

Ye Yaodong lowered his head and looked at his feet, both feet turned outward.

After dinner, when he rode his bicycle to the village committee to make a call, he put on his Jiefang shoes directly, and unexpectedly went to the pier again. He didn't think about the muddy road on a sunny day, so he didn't change into rain boots.

When I saw it, I was too lazy to turn around and go back.

"knew."

He said yes, but what he was thinking about was that when he went back, he would wave to a few children and ask them to wash the bicycles, and they would naturally rush to do it, so why should he wash the car himself?

The work of drying kelp is in full swing in the village, and the workers and women in the workshops are also very busy, and everything is prosperous.

The entire village is filled with the smell of kelp, and kelp is hung in all open spaces in the village. You can smell the smell of kelp even when passing by the village entrance.

This is a farming operation carried out on a village basis. Most of the people in the village are involved, and everyone takes it seriously. Everyone will voluntarily help manage and supervise it.

In order to catch the sun to dry in good weather, the people in the village worked hard, harder than ever, to dry it day and night.

After the first batch was dried, they were pushed directly to Ye Yaodong's workshop on a pallet truck.

There are many workers in his workshop now, and there are dedicated people responsible for handling, weighing, and accounting. It is also very easy for the couple. They only need to watch and talk to the village cadres.

The first batch was weighed and settled immediately on the spot. Everyone looked at the handful of banknotes and were as happy as during the Chinese New Year.

After the first batch was obtained, a large number of dried products were delivered every day.

Lin Xiuqing also arranged tractors to deliver goods to the city every day.

She was mostly busy there, and Ye Yaodong occasionally had to drive the fresh-picking boat out to collect goods.

The two of them were busy from mid-to-late to the end of the month and they were still busy. There was still a large amount of kelp drying in the village.

They have to wait until everything is taken in before their busy schedule comes to an end.

Ye Yaodong was too busy to wonder why the lay people hadn't come yet. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about selling.

After the goods were recently available, there was no surplus in the first few days. Boss Zhou sent a batch, the army sent a batch, and the store also wholesaled and retailed a large number of them every day.

Only later did the inventory begin to remain, and it began to accumulate slowly.

But before they could finish the kelp work, the squid flood season started again at the end of the month.

Fortunately, the price was high at the beginning, so they didn't plan to collect it. They still had time to make a transition. They would finish dealing with the kelp first, and then consider collecting the squid and drying the squid.

While they were busy and dizzy, on May Day, the layman finally came.

Lin Xiuqing received a call from her father, and before she could notify Ye Yaodong, he had already learned about it from Lin's father.

Ye Yaodong was driving a fresh-picking boat out to collect the goods. When he came back, he weighed the goods directly to Ah Cai. He also went to the market to check out the business, and was informed by Father Lin that laymen had come to him that morning to ask for kelp.

He also said that after the truck was emptied in the afternoon, he would come back to weigh the goods early tomorrow morning, so that they could prepare the goods in advance.

After hearing the news, he stayed in the city for one night and finally met someone the next day.

Ye Yaodong sat in front of the store with his feet up early in the morning, helping to wholesale kelp. There was a stall set up at the door with piles of kelp.

Seeing people getting off the cart from a distance, he stood up and greeted them.

"Brother, I finally waited for you. I thought you didn't want it anymore."

"I want it. Why don't I want it? I told you last year to leave a little more for me this year. The few tons last year were not enough to sell."

The common man looked like he was tired from all the work, he had a ragged beard, and he looked like he was running around all the time and had no time to tidy up.

"Isn't there no news all the time? I even called the factory above and said that you came out early last month and haven't returned yet, so you have to wait this month. I thought you would remember to come here."

"I must remember it. There is money to be made. How could I not remember it? Let me weigh ten tons first, right?"

"Yes, keep it. Go to the factory over there to weigh the goods. A telephone has been installed in my store. If you come over next time, please call in advance to let me know."

"Have you all pressed the phone? Not bad."

"I have it installed at home. If you need anything in the future, you can call my home directly. I will write down both numbers to you later."

The layman gave him a thumbs up and said, "Okay, this business is getting bigger and bigger. There are two phones in one box."

"I can't compare to you. Let's go and talk as we go."

"What's that in your store?"

Ye Yaodong followed his gaze and said, "That's shredded squid, want to try it?"

"You're still throwing out shredded squid?"

As he talked, he went into the store and tasted it.

"Didn't I build a very large boat? After the New Year, I went out to sea to catch a lot of deep-sea red squid. There were many of them, they were big, and most importantly, they were not expensive. So I dried some shredded squid on the boat and it tasted good.

, then I went home and started to make money. It has been selling very well in the past two months."

"This usually requires a drying factory to do it..."

"I also bought two small dryers, and most of them are dried by hand."

"Is this okay for you? Drying factories have been set up? Such large machines are not cheap. We only have one factory there that produces them, but the quantity is not large."

"You have a lot of processing plants there, and many seafood products are processed."

"We have abundant aquatic products. We have no choice. How do you sell them? Why don't you get some for me? When we came out, the truck was full of goods from the factory. We couldn't take them with us, so we had to go out and do some private work."

"It's easy to say, the inventory is all in the factory. Let's go. Let's weigh the kelp first, and then we can talk about this. I also have something else I want to talk to you about."

"What's up?"
