Ye Xiaoxi got up from the ground on his hands and knees, and then lifted his feet back and forth to show him.
"Does it look good? It's so comfortable~"
"It doesn't matter what day it is. The sun is so strong that it will cause prickly heat."
She shook her head and laughed, "La la la la~ Let's go play~"
Lin Xiuqing looked helplessly and could only let her go, "Anyway, you will take it off when it gets hot. She is the one who gets laughed at."
"I'm leaving first."
"Come back soon."
Ye Yaodong nodded and strode towards the tractor at the door. The lighters had already been moved to the car, and even the dried fish collected yesterday had been moved onto the car early.
As long as there is space in the car, it cannot be wasted. Anyway, there are three stores in the city that can be used as warehouses.
Currently, he only operates one shop, which is the most prosperous shop. One is rented out, one is used as a fish sauce warehouse, and the other two are used to stack dried fish.
However, as they went to Zhejiang Province to salvage the sea in the past few months, they had not dried fish for more than three months. The inventory in the city was almost running out. The two warehouses were almost empty. A batch of dried fish had been dried in the past two days.
Just good luck and make up for it.
Then the weather turned colder, and the Dongsheng cruise ship just came back. We had to go out to sea with the Harvest cruise ship to catch a lot of fish. We packed more goods and dried them in large quantities. Autumn and winter are the best time for drying fish.
"Brother Dong, you are so awesome, so powerful... You can make money wherever you go..."
"Brother Dong, no one in these two trips to Zhejiang Province can compare with you in terms of fame and profit... Even people in our village know that you have many ships now and are a big boss. My father even said that I was lucky...
…”
"Last month, something big happened in our village and Dongqiao Village. Fortunately, you were smart, but they all suffered heavy losses. I just went to jail and ended up in jail. At least I made money, but I bought a boat.
But I paid for it..."
"Brother Dong, I heard that you bought your house in Zhejiang Province and now you are an official there. Do you have a sister-in-law..."
Ye Yaodong was driving the tractor, and Wang Guangliang's voice kept coming to his ears. He only responded with a few words. Anyway, he was bored along the way. He liked to talk, and he could also listen to more information about the nearest village.
He went to bed early last night and did not have a detailed chat with Aqing. He happened to listen to this boy talking about the trends in the village, but when he heard his sister-in-law, he couldn't hold back.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the sister-in-law from? I am going out to make money, not looking for women."
"Hey, everyone said privately that when you go out for a month or two, there will always be times when you can't hold it in anymore. You are handsome and rich. When you walk on the street, all the girls and wives have to turn their heads and stare at you.
You see, that’s why you bought a house and settled down there so that you can go there every year..."
"Fart, is this spread in the village?"
"No, I just chatted with a few people, saying that you bought a house, and then I thought about buying a house there and finding a wife to have a few more with. Anyway, in other places, no one knows whether you are married or not...
"
"Don't spread nonsense if you shouldn't. It will change as you pass it on. You can't tell it next time."
Wang Guangliang patted his mouth and said, "I understand, I understand, you can't talk about this kind of thing, and it's just the two of us now, so I'm going to ask about it."
"Just asking, you know shit, there is no such thing, don't spread rumors about invisible things. Am I sick? Find yourself a cuckold to wear. If you really keep a woman outside, you will only be there for two or three months throughout the year.
Bian, it would be weird if people didn’t cuckold me, I’d rather spend my money on others after eating shit.”
"Besides, I'm floating on the sea all day long. I never have time to go out and look for women. When I come back, I want to fall asleep."
"Besides, I always take at least a dozen people with me whenever I go out. What does it look like with a woman among a bunch of men? By then, everyone's eyes will glow green, like hungry wolves."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him again warningly, "Go back and shut your mouths. You can't spread this nonsense. This kind of falsehood can also be spread as true."
Tidbits of news are popular everywhere. In an era when entertainment is scarce, people prefer to hear gossip about the East and the West, especially those with color and lace. Even if there is no trace, as long as there is a little hint, it will be spread vividly and vividly.
He now has an old man above him and a young man below him, a happy family with complete staff, a naughty son, a lovely daughter, and a virtuous wife. He is quite satisfied.
The pursuit of life, on the spiritual level, has already been fulfilled, but on the material level, it has to wait for the development of the times.
Wang Guangliang saw the seriousness on his face and nodded quickly.
"I will tell them when I get back and tell them not to talk nonsense or make wild guesses."
"Brother Dong, are you, President Ye, permanent? If you're not there, you won't be dismissed directly, right?"
"I don't know now. I don't know in the future. Let's talk about it later."
"It would be a pity if he were dismissed, right? He is still an official after all, right?"
"Crow's Mouth, if you know how to speak, can't you say something nice? You've just become the vice-president, and you're expecting me to be dismissed?"
"No...no, I'm just worried about you."
"Worry about me. If you go to Zhejiang Province again in a while, you can come with me."
Wang Guangliang was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Are you still going? The weather is getting cold..."
"Not sure, let's talk later."
Ye Yaodong had some ideas in his mind, but it was still out of the question. At least he had to deal with some things at home, and sell the lighter first.
"Brother Dong, are you really going to go after a while?" Wang Guangliang looked suspicious.
Running so frequently, it's hard not to make people wonder if he has a little wife outside. After all, he has bought a house.
"Shut your mouth, if you keep talking, I'll take you over and leave you there."
It's quiet now.
After Ye Yaodong drove his tractor all the way to the city, he discovered that the vacant land he bought had changed drastically.
The open space over there was originally diagonally across from the market, with only a big road in between. He could see it at a glance when he drove over with his tractor.
Originally there were some soil slopes, grass half as tall as a man, and a lot of domestic garbage. Now they have all been sorted out. At first glance, it is a large flat land, most of which is exposed to yellow mud.
There are some small bamboo pieces inserted at the edge of the land, and a rope is tied to the bamboo pieces to circle the area of ​​the land.
It was noon at this time, but no one saw him. He drove the tractor around the edge of the open space, and then drove to the entrance of the market when he was satisfied.
"Brother Dong, we come here every three days to deliver goods, and we have also seen that this land is being cleared bit by bit. Now the ditch has been dug, and the stones will be filled soon. Once the stones are filled, bricks can be used
Come and build the wall."
"If it hadn't been for the intermittent rain caused by typhoons in the past two or three months, we would have finished it long ago."
Ye Yaodong withdrew his gaze and just hummed.
At noon, Lin's father was also eating in Lin Xianghui's shop. He was surprised to see him come back, and Lin Guangyuan's three brothers and sisters had already called him in surprise.
Ye Yaodong explained to Father Lin that he had just come back yesterday and brought a batch of lighters with him, so he couldn't wait to come over today.
He explained to Lin's father how to sell the lighter, and at the same time handed one to him and Lin Xianghui.
Lin Guangyuan looked at them with fiery eyes, looking straight at their lighters.
Ye Yaodong knew that this kid had secretly learned to smoke, but he definitely couldn't give it to him, lest he encourage smoking.
Both father and son looked happy after receiving the lighter.
"We've seen others use this. It's said to be quite expensive. Do you want to sell it for just 10 yuan?"
"I heard that the cheapest one costs dozens of yuan, and you're only selling it for 10 yuan?"
"I smoke hookah, and this lighter is of little use to me. It's a waste. You should just leave it and sell it. It's more convenient for me to smoke hookah with matches." Father Lin reluctantly put it in front of him again.
"Keep it, you can keep it as a souvenir. I'll bring 2,000 of them back. Where I'm missing you two, my relatives and friends at home will also give them as gifts."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and told him again, "If someone wholesales it, it will be 8 yuan, but it must be wholesaled at least 20 yuan, and retailing will cost 10 yuan."
"Okay, I know."
This is the wholesale market, which offers a little profit and allows people to wholesale. Any hawker can go there and make a few bucks by changing hands, which is pretty easy.
Those who are most afraid of comparison will find this item expensive in ordinary people's homes, but as long as it is compared with a friendship store, everyone will think it is cheap, the tendency to buy will be greatly increased, and he can sell it faster.
He came suddenly at noon, and Mrs. Lin didn't cook much for him. At this time, she got up and went to cook noodles for them.
Anyway, whenever they come here, they always eat here. Even Lin’s father and Lin’s mother eat here every day.
Ye Yaodong chatted with them about the situation there for more than a month while eating, and they also told him about the situation of his 13 acres of land nearby, and Lin Xianghui's house was almost completed, which was very efficient.
.
After the meal, they drove the tractor to the door of the shop on the other side to unload the goods.
He looked at the warehouse, which was almost bottomed out, and smiled so hard that the lack of goods meant that everything had been cashed out.
During the Chinese New Year this year, he deliberately stocked up an extra 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. There was 10,000 kilograms in Linji Shang, and he also had more than 10,000 kilograms on hand. In addition, he continued to stock up goods one after another.
When I think about not being exposed to the sun for the past two months, I have bottomed out.
They were selling so fast, I thought they would last until the Chinese New Year, but fortunately it was autumn and they had to sell them in large quantities. The products that were sold were all new, and they could be renewed and kept until next year.
After the goods were moved, but before it was time to start work in the open space in front, Ye Yaodong drove the tractor again to find Director Chen.
On this trip, he brought some jellyfish products, local specialties and two lighters.
When we arrived, Director Chen had woken up from his nap and was about to go to work. He happened to meet him and had to go back upstairs.
Ye Yaodong was afraid of delaying his work, so he put down his things first, and then followed Director Chen out.
"I come here every day in time for dinner. Those who don't know better think that I came to your house specially to get a meal. Haha, I'm also a little embarrassed. It takes so much time to get here from home early in the morning, so I specially finished my meal at noon.
Come here again, luckily I won’t delay your work.”
"What's the point? You've brought your own food, so what's the point of having a meal at my house? It's too foreign. I'll just come to my house next time. Did this trip go well?"
"It went well. I also became the vice-president of a fishery association there and returned to the village. I came back last evening and heard that the news spread throughout the village last night. I guess everyone in the country knows about it today.
Already."
He patted his thigh and said, "It's a pity. I was exhausted when I came back yesterday. I went to bed early after dinner. Today I rushed to the city in a hurry. I didn't even go for a walk around the village to hear how others complimented me.
, call me President Ye."
Director Chen was amused by him and laughed, but he also asked him curiously, "What is the Fisheries Association? Where does this vice president come from?"
He looked at the bright sun outside, looked at Director Chen pushing the bicycle in his hand, and there was a tractor parked next to him, and thought for a moment.
"You can either put your bicycle in the bed of my tractor, and I will drive the tractor to take you to work at the Ocean Bureau? In order to save you from being late, I will tell you about the origin of this fishery association on the way, and how I became the
of?"
"Okay, it just happens to be a little faster."
Ye Yaodong helped him put the bicycle on the tractor, let him sit on the front of the tractor, and told him while driving slowly.
Finally, when we arrived at the entrance of the Oceanographic Bureau, Director Chen also had an idea.
"You said that even Wen City, Zhejiang Province has established a fishery association. Do we need to set up one here to facilitate management? Our area is also close to the sea and belongs to the southeast coast. It also has flood seasons. It has been the same in the past.
Accidents happen frequently, and maritime management must be strengthened to avoid it being too late when something happens."
"Indeed, it is indeed too late to wait until the situation arises before thinking about it. Tragedies have already been caused. What happened over there in the past two months is also a lesson learned. When I came back to the village, I heard that because of the gun battle there, two villages in our area were damaged.
There was a fight with the other side of the town, and it ended badly, with no one taking advantage."
Director Chen stood at the door and frowned in thought, but did not go in immediately.
Ye Yaodong added: "I think we can indeed follow suit. After all, it would be good to set up a social group to organize and help participate in supervision. It does not necessarily manage the sea, but can also help implement policies on land to promote the development of our fishery.
"
"The wholesale market in our city belongs to fishery and aquatic products. Setting up a social group association will definitely unite our fishermen to a certain extent and provide more support policies, which will also allow our area to develop better.
.”
Director Chen nodded, "That makes sense. We can't lag behind others. I'll think about it later."
"Hey, okay, you go in and go to work. When it's time, I won't disturb you anymore. Come back when you have time."
"good."
Ye Yaodong stood there for a while, waiting for someone to push the bicycle in, and then got on the tractor again.
Wang Guangliang came to him and said, "Brother Dong, if a fishery association is established in this city, wouldn't you also be invited to be the vice president?"
"Do you know all this?"
"Is this the only reason you pay attention?"
"Quite smart, not stupid."
Wang Guangliang's eyes widened, "Oh my God? Really? Do you want to come to the city to be the vice president again?"
"The establishment of the fishery association is inevitable. It must be established early or late. So why not I say a few more words to establish it early and see if I can get another position."
Although he is not really an official, he is still a member of a social group, which can be regarded as a social status and an honor. The name sounds quite intimidating.
In this city, he has a shop, land and a house. He has to come here every three days. It is quite necessary to get a job.
For ordinary people, officials like sesame and mung bean can crush people to death. Positions in such social groups also allow frequent contact with local officials. Once you get to know each other well, the officials will also have to give face.
Now that he has established a business, he still needs to gain some social status. Then he can also gain some connections and become familiar with others, so that everything in the future will be easier to handle.
It was also there that the position of President Ye was mentioned, and he thought that there could also be a fishery association here.
These are all considered local, and there will also be a national fisheries association.
Maybe he can become a people's representative.
There was just a proposal, and it hadn't even started yet. He had already thought about the glory he would have in the future.
Wang Guangliang had already given a thumbs up, "Oh, Brother Dong is still the best. Take one step at a time and see ten steps at a time. You will soon be able to compete with President Ye again."
"It's hard to say, keep your mouth shut, and don't spread it beforehand if it's not there, otherwise everyone will take it seriously, and it will be embarrassing if I don't have to share it."
"Hey, then President Ye is still President Ye."
"I'll drive the tractor for you. Let's drive it back to the wholesale market. I think work has already started on my more than ten acres of land. I'll go over and have a look. I'll go back later."
"good."
Not even two minutes later, Wang Guangliang hesitated again, "Brother Dong, can I buy that lighter from you?"
"Of course you can, I brought it back just to sell it for money..."
"No, no, what I mean is, can I get one on credit first? When the salary is paid in a few days, you ask the third sister-in-law to directly deduct the money for the lighter? Hehe..."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and said, "Fooling yourself to make a fool of yourself? Where did the salary I gave you every month go? Do you still need She? I'll give you 8 yuan. I'll go to the store to get one later."
"Okay, thank you Brother Dong. The extra salary I received this year was either used to buy bicycles or TVs for my family. I also borrowed some to help my brother get a wife. Now I really have no money."
"How generous of you? Have you added all the big things at home?"
"Hehe, almost everything has been added. My mother said that after I marry my wife, when the time comes to separate the family, they will be moved here for me. The things I bought are still mine. Now that I have these things at home, the whole family's faces are full of smiles.
If there is light, it will be easy for brothers to talk about their wives."
"That's true. Having those things is a honor for the whole family, and the whole family can enjoy them. When new ones come out in a few years, when you have a family, you can buy new ones if you have the conditions, and you can use the old ones as a way to honor your parents."
"So I bought it willingly. Anyway, I can't work with Brother Dong, but I really have to save money and can't keep it at home anymore."
"Well, that's right. What young man doesn't keep some money on hand? I've also left 20 at home. I'll take 30 back later. I'll leave some at home. People from other villages will probably come to visit me.
If you want to buy it, the price in our village is 8 yuan."
"Okay, I know."
It was originally kept as a gift, but just thinking about it, someone might come and want it.
In recent years, people have had a lot of money. There are TVs one after another in the village, and lighters cost a few yuan, and men are quite happy to buy one to show off.
The two chatted and returned to the wholesale market.
Ye Yaodong also saw the open space he had fenced off, where workers were already busy working.
After the tractor stopped, he jumped off first.
Wang Jianxin also trotted over.
Although there are many tractors, trucks and trucks coming and going around the market, there are none parked in the open space.
"Boss, you're back!"
"Well, how's it going?"
"I'm keeping an eye on it. I come over to supervise the work every day when it's time. No one dares to be lazy and idle." He showed Ye Yaodong the notebook and pen he had in hand. "I always remember to attend work. Uncle and Big Brother sometimes arrive at work.
I’ll also run over and take a look.”
Ye Yaodong knew that the uncle and big brother he was talking about were his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
He took the notebook and flipped through it. Each page had a date, and below the date was the person's name.
The names of everyone are the same every day. Occasionally one or two are missing something or asking for leave due to heatstroke. After all, you have to work under the sun on a hot day, and heatstroke is inevitable.
When he turned to the page at the end of last month, he saw a monetary expenditure. Wang Jianxin also explained it. Because it had been a month, everyone had to be paid, otherwise everyone would have objections.
"Did my father-in-law send it to me?"
"Yes, a worker earns two yuan a day, and a master earns four yuan. If the boss checks it, he can match it."
"Well, you've worked hard too. You've been basking in the sun on a hot day. I'll give you a little more salary at the end of this month."
Wang Jianxin's eyes lit up, "Thank you, boss, I will work hard, remember attendance, supervise them, and don't let them work hard."
Although his salary is not comparable to those of these workers, he doesn't have to work after all. He just needs to come over every day to count the number of people, and then find a shady place to sit down and watch them work, so as not to let them work hard.
.
It's more comfortable to hang out in a leisurely way than to walk around the streets and sell popsicles all day long.
Now the weather is getting colder, and popsicles are no longer easy to sell, but this job can still be done, at least for another two or three months. It is not a problem. As long as he works well, such a large factory will always need manpower.
After reading the attendance book, Ye Yaodong walked around his construction site again and saw that the foundations were filled with stones. He could immediately transport bricks to build the house, so he told Wang Jianxin about this.
He is not afraid of this kid having his own thoughts.
The number of bricks needed was determined in advance, and he would naturally ask his brother-in-law to keep an eye on the carts he needed. After all, he was also building a house nearby and he had no materials here. His brother-in-law asked someone to deliver them to him.
Wang Jianxin can just do the accounting.
There were no surprises for him next. He stayed at home and went to sea. He would go back and forth to the city frequently, and he would come over every now and then to take a look.
After looking at his construction site and the progress of his brother-in-law's house, he expected to be able to drink his brother-in-law's housewarming wine in a short time.
He went back to the shop and sat down to rest for a while. He was quite tired from running back and forth since he left home in the morning. He also wanted to do some calculations with his father-in-law during this time.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father-in-law and brother-in-law both went back to their hometown to celebrate the festival. They went back on his family's tractor, and by the way, they gave the month's accounts and profit money to Ah Qing.
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost a month away now, and the total for this month is 8,300 yuan, of which the army has a stable 2,000 kilograms a month, which are all kinds of dried fish and dry goods.
This number is small compared to the size of the army, but it is impossible for people to eat dried fish every day, so it is only a small amount purchased regularly.
As for Boss Zhou, he often asks for several thousand kilograms, but often doesn't have it. It's not very fixed. The monthly wholesale quantity in the store is also not fixed, there are more and less, but this month is pretty good.
When his father-in-law calculated the money for him, he also warned him to sell more goods, otherwise there would not be enough to sell. Even the cuttlefish he had saved during the flood season would have been sold out long ago.
Originally, he wanted to stock up more and sell them slowly until the Chinese New Year. The price was relatively high, so people were more willing to buy them when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.
As a result, they were all sold out by Boss Zhou at the beginning of last month. I heard that he was rushing to sell a batch of goods before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he wanted high-quality goods.
There wasn't much to sell, and his father-in-law was more anxious than he was. No one knew the profit of the shop better than his father-in-law.
"Oh, I didn't tell you earlier. Otherwise, I could have bought a batch of goods before the market closed for you to take back to dry. It would be a pity to go back empty now."
Ye Yaodong collected the payment and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, we are all back. We will go to sea in a few days, and there will be more goods by then. If it is not enough, let someone collect a batch from the nearby dock and send it over. Take advantage of these few days."
If the weather is nice, let’s get some sunshine first.”
"That's okay, then you go back early. If you go back now, you can still get home when it gets dark. If you delay any longer, it will get dark halfway."
"Um."
I received more than 8,000 yuan. I don’t know how much I sold it last month. I didn’t talk to Ah Qing in detail yesterday.
"Please ask dad and brother to help and take care of the construction site and store matters here."
"Yes, it's right there anyway. It's a good idea to take a moment to take a look. Are you sure how you want to build it? Let me tell you in advance, I have an idea."
"I'll surround the outer wall first, with a height of two meters. Then I'll go to the glass factory and pull a cart of broken glass, the same as my yard, and sprinkle it on it. Then I'll build a two-story house on the open space inside, and build a one-acre plot of land."
Start with the wide warehouse and plan the rest later.”
"That's fine. I don't know what will happen next. Anyway, we must build the warehouse first and move the goods in the shop to the warehouse for storage. The free shop can also be rented."
Ye Yaodong nodded. In fact, he wanted to store the dried fish and fish sauce separately.
However, he is not that big now, so he will build a large warehouse first, and then he can at most divide it into two sides.
He hasn't bought the filling equipment yet. After buying it, it will definitely be installed in the workshop at home. After it is packed, it will be taken to a warehouse in the city for storage. The city has good transportation links and is more suitable for storage. It will also facilitate transportation in and out of the warehouse.
.
Since the goods at home are fermented there, it would definitely be more convenient to fill them at home. Anyway, he has a tractor, so transportation back and forth is not a problem.
"Then I'll go back first. Dad will check the sales situation of lighters in the past two days and call back to let me know. I just came back and there are a lot of things. It's impossible to run back and forth every day in the past two days."
"I know, I'll give it a couple of days and then I'll give you a call."
The biggest regret in life is that a person cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.
The exception is poplar.
Because he was born again.
Chapter completed!
