Father Ye was extremely curious.
"You seem to have been very close to each other this year, right?"
"Which one is with whom? What is closeness? He came to me to buy dried fish and became close to me? I only bought it twice in total. People in the village said that I lured him to make money. They all spread the news."
"That's true, but the two purchases totaled 10,000 kilograms, which is quite a lot. The city's troops plus boss Zhou's side can only buy about 5,000 kilograms a month. Sometimes they don't even have this amount, which is quite a lot.
Already."
"Well, it's quite a lot. Fortunately, after the new year, there will be two boats fishing together, leaving more goods, and there is still stock to sell. Otherwise, more than half of this year has passed, and there has been nothing in the past two months.
Damn, they may not be in stock anymore.”
"Didn't we keep drying squid last month? Are the squid sold out?"
"It's early. After the initial excitement when it was launched, the sales speed has dropped a lot. I can't sell a few kilograms a day. It's too expensive. Anyway, it won't go bad if I keep it. I'm waiting for the Chinese New Year.
I’m not even willing to spend money.”
When Father Ye heard that he couldn't sell it anymore, he became a little anxious and scolded him, saying that he had sunbaked it too much.
Ye Yaodong's face immediately relaxed, "I know what's going on."
Ye's mother also came back to her senses and glared at Ye's father, "What are you blabbering about? It's better if he doesn't lose money, not to mention how can anyone sell everything at once? There are always times when it's hard to sell."
"Anyway, as long as it sells well during the New Year and the holidays, this kind of dried food is not fresh and will go bad after two or three days. If you let him sell it slowly, when has he ever lost money? The money can't go into his pocket.
Why are you so worried?"
The old lady also said: "Who can afford such expensive things every day? Anyway, just sell them slowly. In the past month, half of them have been sold, and it's not like we can't sell the rest. If you worry about it, you will be stuck eating."
Don’t shut your mouth.”
He just said a word and was not welcomed by the whole family. Father Ye immediately shut up. He felt that he really couldn't stay in this family for a moment and couldn't even say anything. He obviously cared about it and felt that he should take his time.
Better.
Feeling unhappy, he didn't waste time eating until the end today. Before anyone else got up, he had already put down his bowls and chopsticks, sat down to the edge and smoked a hookah.
However, when he heard Ye's mother say that Ye Yaodong should not leave so early tomorrow, she would ask first to see if she could take half a month's leave. Ye's father's ears stood up.
The middle-aged man can't afford to be hurt, so he longs for a quiet breathing space and a few days of freedom, and now he is almost there.
Ye Yaodong immediately said: "It's definitely okay. The village has been quite peaceful recently. You don't need to start a fight or start a fight."
"Nonsense, when have I ever had a fight? Don't talk nonsense. I can only start a fight. I've beaten someone before. But let's not talk about it. Mouse's ex-wife has moved into his house again. It's been raining these two days.
He hasn't been kicked out either. It seems that the divorce and remarriage are already half done. This period of time is just about his family's troubles, otherwise our village would be quite peaceful."
"You've moved in? So quickly?"
Ye Yaodong was surprised. He thought his ex-mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could fight for a few more months, but he didn't expect that his ex-wife would succeed in just a few days? His wife was not strong enough.
"I heard someone said that they moved in when it rained a few days. They said they were worried about their children. There were leaks everywhere in the house and they were afraid that they would not be taken care of. Then I tried to chase the mice away several times but failed. After all, my grandson was also there to protect him.
Mother, mother and son are hugging each other."
Lin Xiuqing was also full of curiosity, "And then you live like this? Some time ago, I heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fight, and they kept arguing every three days."
"Yes, we stayed like this. We even went in when the power went out for the first time. Then the next day when the rain stopped, Old Man Wang's family couldn't wait to send all the luggage over. Now they couldn't even drive away.
"
Ye Yaodong laughed twice, "Then when others come back, there will be something good to watch at home."
"Isn't that right? If you come back with money, there will be problems at home; if you come back with empty pockets, there will be problems at home. His mother probably wanted to wait for him to come back and leave it to him to deal with. After all, both children also need their mother.
They all want their own mother to take care of them. She probably wants to save trouble and doesn’t want to take care of two grandchildren."
"Now that the village is no longer busy, you can go to the city to live for ten days and a half. While taking care of Huimei, you can also look around and just have fun."
"There are not many women in the village who have even been to the county seat, let alone the city. You have stayed here for half a month, and you will have more to talk about when you come back. You can tell people more about the city."
After hearing this, Mother Ye became even more excited and ate even more absentmindedly.
"I'll ask tomorrow if you don't leave so early tomorrow."
"knew."
She said she would ask tomorrow, but when the thought came to her, she couldn't sit still for a moment. After eating a few hastily, she walked out without waiting for her father.
In the past, she would stay and help clear the table or wash the dishes.
Father Ye waited for her to go out, and then he said relaxedly: "It's okay to go for a few days, so as not to look at me here or there at home. I always feel that as long as I don't go to sea, even if I'm under her nose,
I'm as busy as a spinning top, and she thinks I'm playing."
Ye Yaodong nodded matter-of-factly, a point he deeply resonated with.
"Yes, that's it."
As he said this, he already glanced at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily, "When did I dislike you? You lie with your feet up at home every day, and I don't say anything, okay?"
"Isn't it all about your mood? When you're in a good mood, it's sunny at home. When you're unhappy, you're not scolded enough."
The old lady laughed and said, "Don't say that. Just lend a hand when you have free time at home. Ah Qing kept spinning like a top every day, either around the children or the stove, or he had to run to the beach.
We are surrounded by workshops, and sometimes we have to work in the fields."
"You know, what day do I have to be free at home and don't help with the work and take care of the children? Sometimes there are eight, nine, or ten in the area. Isn't my father just complaining? I think what he said makes sense. My mother's
Sometimes opening your mouth is very helpful, and sometimes it's annoying."
"That's right!" Now it was Father Ye's turn to nod in agreement.
"You've finished eating. What's wrong with you? It's not bad. After you finish eating, you go back and sit there chattering and disturbing others' eating."
The old lady had already chased them away, so Father Ye had no choice but to take one last puff, then he held the hookah in one hand and the tin box of tobacco in the other hand and put it in his pocket and walked out. Before leaving, he said a few words.
"I'll bring you the clothes later."
Ye Chenghu immediately agreed happily, "Okay."
"My mother really asked my father to do his own laundry?"
"Yesterday, my mother only pretended to be polite to persuade me to drink. Who made my father so greedy for wine? He drank with others and got drunk. Maybe he drank more than others. Originally, the rice wine was also made for Huimei's confinement period and for the guests.
These are nothing, but Dad didn’t care and still drank so hard.”
"Then you didn't let us throw him into the pigsty last night and let him sleep on the floor. Are you showing mercy?"
"It's hard to tell whether I'm being lenient or not."
"Eat, eat, eat. Don't worry about your father. He deserves it. He's old and has to be controlled. I think it's better for your mother not to go out, otherwise no one will look at him."
"I'll finish the work tomorrow and check the weather the day after tomorrow. If the weather is calm, I'll go to sea. My dad isn't that leisurely to drink and play cards at home."
After the heavy rain, the sky is full of clouds. Logically speaking, it will most likely be sunny in the future. It is already sunny today, but the waves are strong. It will probably be out to sea in two days, and his father will not have many days of leisure.
.
Father Ye and Mother Ye had already left the table, and the couple had no other gossip to exchange, they just chatted a few words.
Ye Yaodong had been thinking about Lin Jishang, knowing that he would definitely come when he came back, so he moved a stool and sat at the door to enjoy the cool weather and wait.
What surprised him was that this guy came right after dark and didn't come back until midnight.
"The timing of your arrival is a bit wrong." Ye Yaodong listened to the barking of the dog, raised his head and saw the man standing at the door, and said in surprise.
"Why am I wrong about the time?"
It's too aboveboard, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it. I'm used to seeing ghosts, but now I'm seeing people.
"Is there anything I told you last time?"
"Yes, we will move here tomorrow. I just came over to see if you are home. I heard that you have been tinkering with collecting kelp these past two days."
"That's right."
"I'm just letting you know that kelp seems to be selling well in inland areas in the past two years."
"I know this, so I have been cultivating kelp in the village for the past two days."
"Ah? You still want the village to breed?"
Lin Jishang was surprised. He didn't expect him to be so active. "Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility? Are you going to make the village work in vain?"
"No, it's just a matter of asking a few people to study it first and investing a small amount of money into the research. It's just a little labor-intensive and it's not a large-scale project. Anyway, try it first and make results before mobilizing others."
Ye Yaodong told him his thoughts. It was not an ulterior secret, and it was okay to tell him.
After hearing this, Lin Jishang admired him very much, "I didn't expect that you have such a long-term vision. Not only is your consciousness high, but you can also make money for yourself. It can also bring hope to the village. If it comes true, in the next few decades
The villagers depend on this for their livelihood."
"Well, it's like this. Anyway, there is no harm at all. You won't lose anything if you try it."
He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "I have two younger brothers. They seem to have been studying kelp cultivation there in the past few years in their village. It seems that the cultivation has been completed in the past two years, but most people feel that the money is slow to come in.
There are so few..."
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "So do you have technical talents that you can introduce, or fishermen with planting experience?"
He knew that in the coastal areas farther south, some people felt that fishing was slow in returns and high in risk, so they simply abandoned their old business and chose to make quick money.
After all, it’s still a high risk, so why not choose one that earns you money faster?
Follow Lin Jishang, but if you can earn a month's salary in one day, who the hell is going to farm?
"I have to ask my two younger brothers to see if anyone in their village is still doing it this year. You know, with some liberalization policies in recent years, many people have lost the skills they originally relied on for survival..."
"I understand... I understand this... Even if you still maintain the skills you need to survive, you can still make quick money by working part-time."
"Um."
"Then just ask. If you're done, go to the village committee and tell them. If there are really people who know how to grow, please invite two people to come over and let the village committee pay a fixed salary every month. The village committee will definitely be willing."
And this is also stable, with a steady salary every month. There are always older people who are unwilling to take risks like young people.
As long as you can hire two people with planting experience, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you don’t need to keep an eye on them. The people you hire are much more useful than him, so you just need to copy them.
Problems and difficulties encountered will be solved by more experienced people, with a higher success rate.
After a year of planting and all the villagers have learned how to do it, it will be much easier next year. Everyone has a skill. Are you afraid that you won't be able to get rich slowly?
Being down-to-earth is more important for the development of a village. Quick money can only be earned by individuals, not to mention the risks are even worse.
Lin Jishang chuckled, "Can you even make the decision for the village committee?"
"No way, but I think they would be willing to do it. Originally, we had to organize the villagers and pay some hard work. Now, if we invite people to do it, we can save a lot of detours."
"Aren't you afraid that the seeds won't work due to regional differences, and then the people hired will cause the village committee to spend money in vain?"
"That's not what I'm worried about. I originally made a suggestion, and the village cadres themselves were moved. I just helped them solve the sales problem. My original intention was good, and I wanted the whole village to become rich."
Moreover, he also supported two ships. Based on his experience in his previous life, it will be successful, and their area of ​​​​sea will be suitable for it.
It's just that now the village lacks the first person to eat crabs and the person who leads the way.
Of course you have to be bold and try everything. If you don’t try it, you won’t know if it will work. You will probably know how fragrant it is when you try it.
"Well, as long as you don't complain in the end, if you have confidence, I will introduce them to you. I'll ask you first tomorrow. It's already dark today."
"OK."
I’m so tired. When I go out to play, I have to think about coding and perfect attendance. I write until one or two o’clock every night, and then I have to get up at six o’clock the next day, put on my makeup and go to the next scenic spot. It’s too terrible.
I finished reading Eternal Love in the evening, and then walked around Yangshuo West Street. The crowd was almost gone. When I came back, I started writing hummingly. I just made up for what I missed last night, and I didn’t even have time to take off my makeup.
After washing, go to wash up and go to bed. Good night.
Chapter completed!
