The father and son talked as they walked.
Ye's father immediately gave him the money from the kelp sales and the store's sales.
Because it has been raining continuously during this period, the weather is not good, and the business has also dropped a lot. On rainy days, almost no one comes to the door, but it is still better than the previous one. Anyway, the cost of dried fish is not high, and the shop does not need to rent.
In addition, a total of 7,758 kilograms of kelp was collected during this trip, at 1.5 cents per kilogram, and sold for 1,163 yuan and 7 cents, making a profit of almost 698 yuan. After deducting the gas money for the round trip, it was also a huge profit.
In other words, you can earn more than 600 yuan in just two or three days, not to mention how much money you make.
What you gain from this is the information gap.
Ye Yaodong held the cloth bag filled with money in his hand and kept shaking it. The coins in it also made a clanging sound. In his ears, Father Ye finished talking about Ye Huimei and then talked about the money from this trip.
"I didn't prepare this year, so I just collected it for two or three days. I made so much in just a little while. If I make preparations next year, wouldn't I be able to earn even more?"
He nodded happily, "Of course, everyone has tasted a little bit of the sweetness this year. They know that even the kelp growing on the rocks can be sold for money. Next year, you will probably have to pick it up hard. When the season comes and the tide goes out, you will have to go to the beach to have a look.
Those who have a boat should go to some islands to pick it themselves."
"It's easy to make money. You don't need to work hard to show off it. You just need to change hands and it's just a lump sum."
"So why do so many people want to be scalpers? It's because they can make a lot of money by buying and selling from the price difference."
The smile on Father Ye's face faded, and his heart tightened, "Uncle...then you..."
"Where am I? What I sell is the local specialties from our seaside, and I am also engaged in the transportation of agricultural and sideline products. It's much different, so don't think too much about it."
Father Ye's mind was finally settled. He was dealing with all these seafood in the village.
Ye Yaodong added: "Actually, you can't make a lot of money with such piecemeal harvesting. If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to start breeding in the whole village. Then a large amount of the goods will be exposed to me, and I can make a lot of money just by flipping it.
.”
"That's right, you can earn more than 600 just by harvesting bits and pieces. If the whole village grows it, how many people will earn more than 600?"
Thinking about Father Ye's heart became a little hot.
"This year is also strange. Suddenly there was a good harvest of wild kelp. It fell all over the sea. It was rare to see so much in previous years. They were all scattered in bits and pieces on the sea. No one was too lazy to pick them up."
"It seems that there will be an unusually large amount of this kind of thing once or twice every few years. When the amount is small, no one is too lazy to pick it up. If the amount is large, then people who don't want to pick it up will also pick it up. It's not cheap.
If it's just given to someone else, it won't go bad if you leave it there anyway, so just take it back and dry it in the sun and it'll last for a long time. If you don't eat it, throw it away. It doesn't cost anything anyway, and it's not worth the effort."
Ye Yaodong nodded.
It's like this. The mentality of ordinary people is: I don't want something originally, but when I see others taking advantage of it, I want to take advantage of it.
"It just happened to happen to you this year."
"I can still make money next year."
"We have to see if the village committee can tinker with kelp. If it can tinker with it, it will be a steady income in the future."
"Yes."
Ye Yaodong is still very confident in this, and with Lin Jishang giving another assist last night, he will definitely succeed.
Father Ye saw that he was so confident in what he said, and he also had expectations in his heart. He also had a smile on his face, "You have accomplished whatever you have done in the past few years, and the momentum is so good. Maybe I can really do something for you."
Luck is as mysterious as it sounds, but it is undeniable that some people are just good at whatever they do, and even success is much easier than the average person.
"Look, we're home. Let's eat first. The whole family is waiting for you. They all thought you had gone to the city early in the morning. No matter how late you are, you will definitely be back for dinner in the evening. Who knows that by this time, Tiandu will
It will be dark soon, if I had known, my grandma would not wait for you."
"If you weren't my biological child, I would have thought I picked it up."
The old lady's attitude towards her son and her grandson were completely opposite. Father Ye had to prove that he was his biological son.
Although this was a convoluted statement, Ye Yaodong understood it clearly and smiled broadly.
"Your greatest luck is that you gave birth to me, do you understand?"
"Stop putting gold on your face."
Ye Yaodong winked at his father and whispered, "I'm giving you gold. Think about the gold ingots you have on hand."
The expression on Ye's father's face immediately burst into laughter.
The old lady saw the father and son smiling obscenely, and said happily: "Did you sell it for a lot of money? So happy."
He put his arm on the old lady's shoulder and walked to the dining table, changing the subject and teasing his father, "The reason why I sold the money is because my mother is not at home, which makes him happy. Finally, no one is nagging him, and he can be free."
I feel comfortable for a few days."
"I'm happy now. I'll probably have to call her back in two days."
"Why did you ask her to come back? I don't want her to cook or wash clothes, so why did I ask her to come back? She likes to stay for a few days, and it's just right when no one is nagging her." Ye Fuyong has never done this before.
Strong words.
"Just be tough."
The old lady didn't think much of him at all.
Lin Xiuqing interjected: "Is it okay if mom is not at home? Dad often goes to the sea for several days at a time. In the past two years, he also went to catch jellyfish for a month or two, and the two of them often stayed away.
piece."
"When I go out by myself, can it be the same as when my wife goes out? When I go out by myself, at least I know that my wife is waiting at home. How do I feel at ease? How can I feel at ease when my wife goes out for ten days and a half and is not at home for a month and a half?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady in surprise, "You know quite a lot."
Father Ye suddenly felt that what the old lady said was reasonable. Can he be the same when he is away from home as his wife is when she is away from home?
However, he still said stiffly: "Why do I feel uncomfortable? She is going to take care of her daughter. Why should I feel uneasy?"
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Eat first, otherwise it will get dark. Anyway, my mother will be back after a few days away, and my father will go to sea in two days. It doesn't matter whether my mother is at home or not."
"The thoughts in my heart are still different. If I'm at home, I won't think about it. If I'm not at home, I'll think about it."
Ye Yaodong threw the bag full of money to Lin Xiuqing and looked at the old lady curiously, "You have a lot of experience?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Who's an old couple like this? Let's eat first."
"I will go to sea in two days. Who has time to think about her?" Father Ye was still stubborn.
Ye Yaodong felt that his father had the toughest mouth among all his people.
Lin Xiuqing opened the bag, took a look at it, and then put it away again, "This is the money from selling kelp, plus the turnover of the store this week, right?"
"Well, we haven't sold much in the store these days because of the rain. There is a bill for selling kelp inside. You can take it into the house later and check the bill yourself first."
"Let's eat first. It's summer. Although the food won't get cold, don't light up the lamp to eat when it's dark. Count the money after you finish eating. Take it back to the house first. There are so many people at home, so we won't lose it."
"Why."
The old lady served rice to the whole family, and then she asked with concern about Father Ye's tomb sacrifice.
"The day after tomorrow will be the promising day. Wait until your father is buried the day after tomorrow before going to sea. Then pay more respects and ask your father to bless Dongzi. After this important matter is done, you will definitely be able to get better and better in the future.
Make a lot of money in peace."
"I know, I'll remember it. Tomorrow I'll leave the heads and tails of the pigs that were butchered, and braise them a day in advance. We'll also kill chickens and ducks the day after tomorrow, and buy a fish to take up the mountain. I'll prepare all of this."
"Then the boss and the second brother..."
"It's up to them how they prepare and worship. Anyway, let's prepare one portion here. If they prepare more, let my dad eat more."
"That's okay. We don't have to prepare together. It won't be fair to divide them when the time comes. Let's each prepare our own."
Father Ye thought about it for a while while eating, and looked at Ye Yaodong, "I knew it would be troublesome to ask your mother to go two days later. It would be troublesome to prepare these things. Having her help can save a lot of trouble and save us two worries."
"We've only been away for a day, and you already want her to come back? She was so arrogant before."
"There is something big to do. Otherwise, who would want her to come back? It's not like we can't do it without her."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if my mother is not here. I still have three daughters-in-law. I will discuss this matter with my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law and we will work together. With so many people, there is no need for my mother to stay at home."
"Okay, then you will work together tomorrow night and the morning after tomorrow. We will catch the chickens and ducks from our hometown and kill them. Anyway, your mother and I have raised several of them, and they basically eat yours. The chickens and ducks at home are not killed either.
Pass."
"good."
At the dinner table, the old lady asked about Ye Huimei's situation again, and then Lin Xiuqing also asked about the situation in the store and the business of her elder brother and sister-in-law.
After the meal, the old lady took over the task of cleaning up and washing the dishes, and rushed Lin Xiuqing into the house to count the money and settle the accounts.
When Ye Yaodong just got the money, he calculated it in his mind. After adding the money from this wave of sales, their family's deposit was just 130,000. The calculation a few days ago was a little short of 130,000. Now it is just right.
Rounded up.
"It's getting dark now. When will I bring the things you want? How much will they cost? I took out the money in advance and I just finished the calculation."
"I'm not in a hurry. I don't know if the price has increased after more than two years. He asked me to wait until midnight before moving over. Then I'll just ask him how much it will cost and then give it to him."
"Oh..." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes and smiled with a cunning look on her face, "When he leaves this time, will he ask for several thousand kilograms of dried fish? Let's get the goods directly?"
Ye Yaodong smiled cheerfully, stretched out his palm to directly cover her face, and pushed her face back.
It's rare to see her smiling so mischievously. She's getting a taste of the sweetness and wants to exchange things for things so that she doesn't have to pay for anything.
"I think you are becoming more and more thoughtful, even better than me."
"Didn't I learn this from you?"
"It's very good. It's a beautiful idea, but I probably won't want it again in the short term. This thing doesn't take up much space and is big. The profit from one sack is probably equivalent to a radio."
Lin Xiuqing had a look of regret on her face. Lin Ji wanted a lot of goods and it was easy to do so, but if a big merchant could give him more goods, it would be much better than them selling slowly.
"Don't worry about him. He makes big money and quick money. Unlike us who make small money, they are all doing small business and rely on accumulating small amounts to make more. Dried fish is not cost-effective for him. He can bring it twice.
For goods, 10,000 kilograms is already pretty good, and I won’t be able to stuff him with goods next. Just like this, if he doesn’t mention it, I won’t mention it shamelessly.”
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about selling, he can just sell slowly.
It's fine if he was stuffed once or twice, but if he did it too many times, people would think he was crazy about money.
"Okay, anyway, we only have that much inventory at home. If we pull another truck, it will be almost gone."
"Um."
"After grandpa is reburied and the memorial ceremony is completed and we go to sea, we have to dry it a little more. Otherwise, if you go to Zhejiang Province next month, you won't be able to sell the goods for another month or two."
"Look, the weather has to be good. You should put the money away first."
"The ship you discussed with your friend hasn't been decided yet?"
"No, I'll wait until I go to the province on my next trip to sea and ask." Ye Yaodong looked at her in surprise, "You seem to be impatient now? You feel like you are urging me to spend money."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "I think money is too hot, so I'm still urging you to spend money? I just feel uncomfortable thinking about this matter hanging around all the time, so I want to ask a few more questions."
"I thought that since I've made a decision, I'll make it as soon as possible. If I want to do something, I'll do it as soon as possible, so as not to hang around and think about it all the time."
Ye Yaodong sat on the edge of the bed, with his hands behind his back, his legs crossed and shaking, and said: "Don't be anxious, you have to ask clearly before you can order. Anyway, the county won't let me order. I feel like I'm taking too much advantage."
Already."
"If we go to sea in two days, I think my mother will go to the city to accompany Huimei, and there is no need for Aguang to be there. I plan to ask Aguang to go fishing for a few days, and then pass through the provincial capital on the way back. We
Let’s go to the provincial capital to have a look.”
After collecting the money, she turned around and asked curiously: "Uncle Pei stays at home, and Aguang drives the Harvest?"
"It doesn't matter whether father and son go together, or Uncle Pei stays at home. Uncle Pei can also stay at home. It just so happens that he has just developed his second spring and needs to stay at home more. Then my father and I can start the harvest alone.
I'll take the Dongsheng Dongsheng and pick up A Guang in the city. My father will be there when the time comes, so Uncle Pei can rest assured."
"Then if you have this idea, call Aguang in advance tomorrow and let the father and son discuss it."
"Well, it's time to talk. I didn't think so at first. I'll call tomorrow and discuss it with Aguang. We have to go to the provincial capital to see it together."
"A-Guang also wants to share a certain amount, right?"
"Sure, I'll tell you after reading it."
"It's best to make a decision before setting out to catch jellyfish, otherwise you will always feel like one thing is hanging there unresolved."
"If you can't be in a hurry, work slowly and carefully. This is a big deal."
I have arrived home in the evening. Today’s word count is 7,000 words. I will resume normal updates tomorrow. I will work hard every day to make up for what I have missed in the past few days.
Also, I made a mistake at the beginning of the last chapter. I was transporting kelp and taking Ye Mu to the city. At that time, my whole mind was confused and I made a mistake. It has been revised and corrected online. You can go back and read it again.
This will make it coherent.
Chapter completed!
