"Yes, if you go back and pass the county town, you have to go to the shore and ask. Just be concerned about the progress of the matter. After all, it's you... No, we are also witnesses. We watched the boat sinking at the time. It's okay to ask out of curiosity.
.”
Father Ye originally wanted to say that he reported it, but he quickly stopped talking. Lao Pei didn't even know that they had already salvaged two boxes that night.
Father Pei interjected: "I think it's possible that they felt it was impossible to salvage the sunken ship, so they gave up, or they also went into the water to search for it, but couldn't find it. After all, it's winter, so the next time it's flooded it won't be easy. This
With just a rough coordinate and no guidance on the sea, it’s not that easy to find a sunken ship on the bottom of the sea.”
"There's no need to guess, just ask."
Ye Yaodong wasn't sure either. Anyway, he was going back to the shore tomorrow. He would ask when he got back.
"It's already dark. It's already past 7 o'clock. Let's have a meal later and drag a final net around. Let's quickly dock in the city. We can deliver all the goods on the ship before dawn.
Sold it at the wholesale market."
Father Ye took a look and saw that the goods had almost been moved and stacked, and he quickly agreed, "Okay, let's not waste time, drag one more net at the end, and then go directly to the city."
"Then let's set off the nets separately..."
"Oh, by the way, uncle, after the goods are sold out in the market, we will sail back directly. The cheap fish on your boat will be left for me to take back to dry as usual?"
Just when he remembered this, he quickly said hello in advance.
"Let's do the same as last time. We'll go to the market later to find out how much each item is selling for. We'll base it on the market price. This will also save us from having to haul a bunch of cheap items to the market to sell, and the tractors on the dock will have to pull several tractors.
If you make more trips, you’ll have to pay for the freight for several more trips, and you’ll also save the market stalls from having to charge buyers and sellers three points each.”
Father Pei nodded and agreed. He would sell it if he took it to the market, and he would sell it if he took it home to dry. The fuel consumption for carrying the load was also lower than the freight and commission of hiring a tractor.
What's more, I have just received benefits from Ye Yaodong. There is no reason why I shouldn't deserve it. They are all relatives.
"If you want to take it back to dry, isn't that just a matter of words? Leave it all to you. The groceries have been collected two days in advance and piled on the deck for you. The entire ship is almost full."
"Feng Harvest, the name of this boat is correct. The Feng Harvest has a good harvest every day."
"hehe……"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said to the boatmen of the two boats: "It's getting dark now. After I sell the goods on the boat, I will give everyone a big red envelope, and then we will go back happily."
Home."
Everyone smiled and said politely.
"No need to worry, no need to worry, we can wait until we get home."
"That's right, take your time, we are not in a hurry..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Now get off the net quickly and then get to the shore to get down to business. We'll talk about the red envelope later..."
"After I finish selling the goods in the market tomorrow, I will get on the ship and deliver them to you." Ye Yaodong said firmly, and then he propped up the Harvest with a bamboo pole and moved the two ships a little further apart.
Father Ye also returned to the cockpit to sail the boat.
The two ships also began to move. From a distance on the sea, the two light spots next to each other were seen getting further and further apart, and then they sailed separately, just echoing each other from a distance, keeping a distance that was neither far nor close.
Ye Yaodong also took a look at the boxes that were moved over. Almost every box had been opened. Uncle Pei probably also wanted to make sure what was inside and whether every box was the same.
He also randomly checked three boxes, and there were still only 5 cans of caviar with slightly different labels in each box.
I don’t know if Uncle Pei found it or paid attention to it when he opened the box to check.
There shouldn't be any. If there were, I would have mentioned it when we were chatting just now, why are there so many different cans?
Anyway, it doesn’t matter to him, whether he knows it or not, if all the boxes of goods are packaged for him to handle, he will casually mention them and pick them out.
Again, there were so many people on the boat, many eyes and many voices. Even after returning to the village, some people still liked to brag, saying that they had salvaged the cargo from the sunken ship. He also casually mentioned the value of caviar that night, which must be the same.
Will be taken out to brag.
After Ye Yaodong finished the spot check, he put the canned fish back and placed them neatly. There was no need to check the rest. He already knew that they should all be the same, so he just made sure.
After finishing it, he also went to eat. The food on the ship had been prepared long ago, but he didn't have time to eat, so he let others eat first.
Two people were also assigned to help unload the net bit by bit, and the other two people went to eat first, so they could take turns later.
After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he replaced his father.
Father Ye felt sorry for him because he went into the water several times during the day and did not take a good rest. He was afraid that his body would be overwhelmed and he would not be able to survive the night and would have to go ashore to sell goods in the early morning. After dinner, he went to relieve him and let him go back to the cabin to rest.
He is not being pretentious. He has to go to the wholesale market to sell goods. When he goes to the market to sell goods, they are not sold out so quickly before dawn. He is not in a strong body and needs to rest when he should.
After going to sea a few days ago, he didn't bring the quilt home to dry. Ah Qing asked him to go to the ship to get it back the next day, but he was too lazy to move it on the ship, so he just left it there.
Well, the quilt has been smelling of the sea these days, and he feels a little disgusted with it again.
When he returns to the village tomorrow, he reminds himself that he must remember to take back all the quilts from several beds to dry them.
Just wash it, the workers are not that particular and don't care about cleanliness so much, it would be nice to dry it in the sun.
It was a cold day and there was no washing machine at home. He also felt sorry for his wife. As long as his own quilt was not wet by children, he might not be able to wash it even once in the winter. Why would other boatmen wash the quilt every now and then? What a beautiful idea.
After we go back, if we really want to sell these goods to Lin Jishang, we can go to him to move a washing machine, which is perfect.
He thought about it and closed his eyes when he heard the two boatmen beside him coming back to sleep.
He only slept for more than five hours, half asleep and half awake. He woke up when he heard the other two people making noises like yawning and farting. In fact, he was not asleep at all.
After the two of them got up and woke him up, he also sat up and rubbed his temples.
The roar of the machine, except for the brief moment when he went into the water during the day and communicated with the fresh-picking ship to receive goods, it never stopped at all in the past few days.
He couldn't help but sigh, it's hard to be a hard-working person, and it's still comfortable to be a dead person, but it means suffering for the people around you.
Touching the flashlight placed on the side of the boat, he opened it and looked at the watch. It was already 1 o'clock. No wonder they woke him up. They should be docking soon.
After he got dressed under the quilt and went out, he peed while looking at the brightly lit and busy dock in the distance. The time was stuck very well, and he got up at the right time.
There are not many fishing boats docked at this time. After all, there are only a limited number of boats like his in the city, and they don’t all dock together. However, there are quite a few boats busy preparing to go out to sea to trawl. They all go out at night and during the day.
Returned.
It was a lively and noisy scene with many people coming and going. Some were pushing trolleys, some were carrying baskets and buckets back and forth to the boat, and some were using trolleys to refuel and add ice to the fishing boats.
After their fishing boat docked, they were worried that they didn't see the tractor. They were wondering whether they should temporarily call a few trucks to transport it. But the distance was not close, and the number of trucks that could be pulled in one trip was also very limited, only a few hundred kilograms.
There are dozens of tons of cargo on board their ships. Although they have left most of the groceries to be taken back for drying, it cannot be hauled away in one or two trips by a pallet truck.
He and Uncle Pei walked onto the pier, chatting as they walked, thinking about asking the local fishermen on the pier about tractors, when they heard the sound of a tractor coming from far away, and soon it appeared on the pier.
They also breathed a sigh of relief. Even a tractor might not be able to pull it all in one trip, let alone a small and large truck.
However, just one tractor is not enough. As soon as they saw the tractor appear, they rushed up to communicate and asked for information. There were several tractors behind that would arrive soon.
"We have just sent a few goods to the wholesale market. There was a fishing boat before you that also just docked. Our four tractors sent the full ship of goods to the wholesale market in one trip. Didn't we just come back to the dock?"
"Let me tell you, why didn't you see any tractors on the dock today? It turns out they were all delivering goods to the market."
"Every day since early morning, fishing boats have docked intermittently. Of course I can't let go of this business. They are basically there, unless they go to deliver goods, but they will come back soon..."
When Ye Yaodong was negotiating the price with him, the sound of tractors started to sound one after another, and they all came back. Now he was not afraid that the goods would be unfinished.
After agreeing on the price with them, each of the two ships is assigned two tractors to pull the goods. For one trip, one tractor costs 1 yuan, which is equivalent to 50 cents in gas cost, and the tractor master makes a net profit of 50 cents.
He had accumulated more than 20 tons of goods in three days. There were more than ten tons of goods that could be sold for money. Two tractors would definitely not be able to pull them all if they did not make four or five trips. Fortunately, most of them were kept home, and the remaining two were more valuable.
Two tractor pulls are enough.
This money is easy to earn, equivalent to as long as a fishing boat docks, a tractor can earn about two or three yuan. (He keeps the goods to show off, not counting)
If there are five or six fishing boats docked a day, they can earn more than ten yuan a day, which means three to four hundred yuan a month, and three to four thousand yuan a year.
There is no need to do other work. I just wait on the dock every day for the fishing boats to dock and deliver goods to the wholesale market. This money is enough for the tractor. If I occasionally take on other jobs, a tractor can pay back its capital in one year.
It's easy and decent money to make, except that you have to buy a tractor, which costs a little more, but the returns are also huge. The main thing is that it will be a steady job for the next 20 years, and you will make a steady profit.
As expected, opportunities are everywhere in this era. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can make money in anything you do, which is much better than farming.
You can only make money by farming, but you can make money by everything else. Small money is easy to make, but big money depends on fate and luck.
However, if you can earn a small amount of money now and gradually accumulate capital, you will definitely be able to do so in the future. But don’t be short-sighted and think that you can earn a steady income and provide for your retirement if you can drive a tractor.
Ye Yaodong watched the workers moving goods, smoking a cigarette beside him, having nothing to do, and even calculated an account for the tractor master.
After seeing that a cart was full of goods, he also called to someone and sat at the front with him, and followed the goods to the market.
After arriving at the market, they would move the goods in, and then have people follow the tractor master to the dock to continue delivering goods, while he stayed in the market to sell.
When the last trip came, there were a little more tractors at the dock, and both cargoes were hauled in one trip. Maybe they docked earlier today, and some workers haven't come to the dock to work yet.
After Ye Yaodong entered the market, he was selling goods inside. He didn't have time to go to the shop outside to greet his father-in-law. It wasn't until dawn that the goods were sold out one after another. The harvest number this time will be better than him.
If it's more, it won't sell as fast as him.
He said hello and took his boatman out first, asking Father Pei to find him outside the store after he finished selling the goods.
The lights were brightly lit inside the market, and it was bright outside the market, but there was no sun, and the wind was strong outside. The surrounding area was empty, and there were no buildings to cover it. As soon as I came out, I shrank from the cold wind.
"Oh~ It's already March, and the wind blowing here is still cold. It's freezing to death."
"Haha, it hasn't started to rain recently, and it hasn't started to heat up yet. One spring rain and another warm one. It will probably be hot in just a few days. It's the middle of the month now, and Qingming is coming soon. Qingming is coming soon.
It’ll be hot as soon as it passes.”
"Ah, bah, bah, bah... Why is it raining? It can't rain. It's better to be cold. The cold wind will blow for a few more days."
When Ye Yaodong heard this, he immediately changed his tune. When he gets home later, he will take two boats of goods back to dry the fish. What should he do if it rains? But after drying this batch, he can't dry it any more.
Take it slow in case the spring rain really comes.
I don’t know about other times. Anyway, it rains before and after the Qingming Festival. Otherwise, why would there be a poem called “It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival”?
I forgot about this batch. Otherwise, this batch of goods should not be kept for drying. It should be released directly to the market and just keep the groceries for drying.
unwise!
I hope God will bless me and it will be sunny for another four or five days.
He clasped his hands and bowed to the sky twice, muttered two sentences without any restraint, "Don't blame me, don't blame me." He quickly put it away and put his hands in his pockets.
The boatman also chuckled, "It shouldn't happen in the next few days. The vernal equinox will be next week. After the vernal equinox, the weather will get warmer, and then the rain will increase."
"Uncle is pretty good. He knows the solar terms so accurately?"
"I have aged a lot, but nothing else. I have kept in mind the solar terms throughout the year, what I should do on what days, and what will happen. I happened to go back today and plowed everything I could in the past two days.
Whatever needs to be sown should be planted while there is free time, and the seeds will germinate quickly after a little rain and moisture."
Ye Yaodong nodded, spring rain is as precious as oil, he knows it.
"Let's go have breakfast and then go to my store. Uncle Pei shouldn't be feeling well soon."
He packed 30 steamed buns as before, but they were just for money.
Looking at the haggard and happy expressions of the couple, we also know that they are in pain and happy at the same time. There is no way to make money without hard work. As long as hard work can make money, everyone will be happy.
What I fear most is working hard but not making any money at the same time.
The couple were both very busy, and people kept coming to buy buns. They both wished they had eight hands to work with. Ye Yaodong didn't bother them at all. After buying the buns, he left, looking at how busy they were.
, and there was no time for pleasantries.
The people in the dried fish shop were not as lively as the breakfast shop, and several people in the shop were not surprised to see him coming.
Aguang came to the city a few days ago and told Father Lin and Mother Lin that the entire ship would go to sea the day after he left. Now it is almost time to go back to sea to sell goods.
Father Lin still dragged him to settle accounts.
"It's very convenient now. Every time you come back from the sea, you can dock in the city and pay the bills while selling goods. It also saves me from putting too much money in my hand, which is unsafe."
"Yeah, that's right. This is very convenient. You can take it back directly after you finish the calculation."
However, he would have to go to the shipyard later to inquire about the cost of building a fresh ship.
After settling the accounts with his father-in-law, Ye Yaodong also started chatting with A Guang, just as he was planning to go back with them again.
"I think this is not only convenient for me, but also for you. As soon as we dock in the city, we can take you back with us."
"I just happened to be on my way. I just want to go back and check on the child. I can't ignore it. Besides, it's still early for Huimei to die, so she doesn't need to stay with her all the time."
"In what month were you born?"
"She said it was around the end of June or early July."
"New calendar? Or lunar calendar?"
“If it’s the New Calendar or the Lunar Calendar, it will be mid to late May.”
"That's okay. There are still 3-4 months left. I'll tell my mother when I go back so that she can have an idea as soon as possible."
A Guang also nodded, "This time is just right. It's almost time to set out to catch jellyfish. I hope it can be started as soon as possible after full term, so as not to delay things."
"Besides, the children are the most important thing after all."
"That's for sure."
"The villagers don't have any suspicion?"
"No, your father-in-law and his family came here at the beginning of last year, and then your brother-in-law came here to open a bun shop. This year we came to help under the guise of our daughter and son-in-law, which is normal, and no one in the village suspects it. In addition,
We all came over to help at dawn and waited until it was almost dark before going back to sleep. We basically didn’t stay in the village. If someone came to check, they couldn’t touch us.”
"That's good……"
The two squatted at the door and chatted for a while, then Father Pei arrived, and they took the tractor together to the dock.
However, after knowing that he had to go to the shipyard in the city, Father Pei planned to drive the Harvest and go back first.
After all, when they arrived at the county town, the Dongsheng had to dock at the county town again, and he didn't have the time to wait.
Returning earlier can help you rest earlier, unload cargo earlier, and allow the workshop to work in advance, so that two ships will not dock at the same time. There will be too much cargo, which will easily cause confusion. A large amount of cargo on the Harvest ship has to be weighed.
Ah Guang stayed, wanting to keep him company and take his boat back later.
He said that he also wanted to stop by the shipyard in the city to see how the ships he had ordered before were doing. When would the first ship be delivered?
It’s been over half a year since I placed the order and I haven’t seen it yet.
Although they were in the city together, he only came to the city after the New Year and settled in not long ago, so he didn't run around.
Of course, Ye Yaodong was happy to have a companion, as he didn't have to go alone, and there wasn't even anyone to help him talk.
The two of them stood on the side of the boat and looked at the sea, chatting in the cold wind.
"You just ordered a bunch of ships, but the deliveries haven't started yet. Now you have to order another fresh-picking ship. Didn't our parents express any opinions?"
"My mother doesn't know, and she didn't ask them to pay, so what opinions do they have? I'm not a three-year-old child, so I have to let him make decisions all day long and get them to agree? I can just discuss it with my husband.
They are quite old and don’t understand this, they just want to be safe and secure and don’t worry about them.”
"Third sister-in-law is quite easy to talk to."
"When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, follow the dog. Set up a pole and carry her around. I am the head of the family. Of course she has to listen to me. I also earn the entire family's money. Whatever I say is what I say."
Aguang smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"If you can, go back and tell me in front of my third sister-in-law."
"Tch, let me show you my family status when I get back."
"The third sister-in-law didn't say anything then, but my mother-in-law scolded you with her saliva."
"You're envious, right? That's your mother too, I can let you get scolded first."
"I am the son-in-law. The mother-in-law becomes more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. To be honest, do you think that fresh-collecting ship is up to something?"
"Of course, but it also depends on whether there are many fishing boats to dock with and your connections. I'll ask you first before deciding. Anyway, I haven't decided yet."
…
The shipyard was also built along the sea. When Ye's father was sailing the boat, he had already asked the old fishermen on the shore, how to get to the shipyard? How to drive the fishing boat there?
Then I followed other people's guidance and walked slowly along the edge of the coastline. It only took about ten minutes to find it.
The two of them got off the boat and went straight to the shipyard to talk to the person in charge. Of course the person in charge of the big factory knew Aguang. He was a young man who ordered four ships in one go, which was certainly impressive.
Ye Yaodong's reputation and talk are also impressive. Although he has not booked a boat, he has been here a few times.
He went straight to the point and said that he wanted to order the first fresh-harvesting boat and asked the factory to quote a price. The boats outside were still waiting there, waiting for him to go home. He had no time to dawdle here.
"Although the fresh harvesting ship does not use the equipment of the trawler, it is not much cheaper than the trawler. After all, it requires more storage space. It also needs stronger lighting equipment on the cab roof and garden pole.
Convenient for purchasing activities at night.”
"The crew's living quarters are concentrated in the stern and superstructure, and they also need to have certain preparations. There is no difference in this. However, there must be good insulation around the fish tank. When it is used for harvesting, the tank temperature must be maintained at 0°C.
±2℃.”
"You also need to have an ice storage room, a fresh water warehouse, a diesel storage room, etc. It's basically the equipment needed to exchange the trawling equipment of the turbine for fresh boats."
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement, "I know, I understand all these, so please quote a price and give it to me for reference."
Aguang also joined in: "Please quote a lower price. We will also ask several shipyards to see which one has the lowest price and fast delivery. And we are all acquaintances. I have ordered several ships from you."
Yes, I even brought my friends here, so you have to tell me the real price."
"We all know this. We all work according to the rules. This is not our private factory. You haven't said how big you want to build it yet?"
"Just over 30 meters will be enough. Can you help me calculate how many meters will be more cost-effective? Also help me design the storage space inside. Can you calculate it?"
"Okay, then go to the office. I'll do the calculations for you first. We'll also discuss your personal needs and the price limit you can afford."
"Okay, but hurry up, we'll go back in a hurry."
"Well, since we want to book a ship, we must communicate in detail before we can get a quote. If you go to someone else's place to book a ship, you won't be in a hurry. You have to explain your requirements in detail before they can quote you."
Ye Yaodong responded perfunctorily twice.
"Today's young people are becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Each one is more powerful than the other. It's amazing that they can come and inquire about prices by themselves without the help of their elders."
"Am I young?" Ye Yaodong touched his beard that he hadn't shaved for a week. His unshaven face looked like it had gone through many changes. How could he still know that he was young?
"Haha, it's just that you haven't shaved. You're not that particular on the ship. Looking at your fair skin and tenderness, and your voice, you don't seem to be that old."
The person in charge smiled and led them into the office, "Sit down, have a couple of cups of tea and let's talk."
It’s really enjoyable. The office has tea sets for making tea and making tea.
People in Fujian province just cannot live without tea.
"My only request is that each storage space is larger, and there is nothing else. As for the fresh-picking ship, of course it is the capacity, and the fuel consumption ratio. You have to calculate it for me, how many meters, how much load-bearing? It makes me sad.
There has to be a number."
"Then let me tell you first, how many meters are the fresh-harvesting boats we built, and introduce them."
"good."
The three of them sat in the office and talked for more than an hour. They filled a piece of paper with pens like ghost drawings, filled with various requirements and quotations, as well as other conditions of the fresh ship. The paper was filled with writing and drawings.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang looked at it again and again, "Let's take this draft paper back and think about it first, and also discuss it with my father. If he comes to the city in a few days, I will get back to you."
"Okay, that's right. Of course, the elders in the family must agree to such a big deal like buying a boat. If you don't have any objections, then make the decision."
"Thank you very much for taking you so long."
"This kind of preliminary consultation work should be done. It is not called a delay. If you are in a hurry to go back, go back and discuss it first. Anyway, the delivery date will be at the end of the year at the earliest. There are still relatively few people booking such a large ship.
, the most popular ones are the trawlers that are more than ten meters long, oh yes, the ones your friend next to you ordered several of."
The two nodded.
"Then we'll leave first."
…………
The dried nudibranchs that were drawn at the beginning of the month were not distributed until the express delivery service was suspended during the Chinese New Year. I only sent out part of them after I started working today. Because the stock was not enough, I only sent out part of them. The rest will have to wait for the fishing boats to come back in the next few days to be dried!
This nudibranch that sister Baili found is really the best among the best!
They are all freshly dried after being caught in the sea. They are really expensive, and there is no free shipping. Half a catty is 65, and shipping costs 15. In total, half a catty is 80!!!
It really doesn't save me any money at all. It pursues quality. Anyway, everyone can eat well.
It really makes sense to get what you pay for! Expensive may not necessarily be good, but good will never be cheap.
There is no need for complicated preparations for this kind of fresh and freshly dried ginger. Just cut some shredded ginger and steam it in a pot.
You really don’t want to cook a bunch of messy things together, it will only destroy the original deliciousness.
Just cut the ginger into shreds and steam it, then dip it in garlic vinegar and drink it with wine, y yds!
To test whether the seafood is fresh, steaming is the best.
Fresh seafood does not require messy cooking methods. It has its own deliciousness, and steaming can bring out the original flavor.
I am really sincere and conscientious in providing benefits to everyone. Without everyone’s support, of course this book would not be what it is today. Thank you! Take a bow!
Chapter completed!
