Ye Yaodong thought for a while and felt that he had almost figured out his ideas.

Now we are just waiting for the first batch of containers to be delivered, and we can arrange for Wang Guangliang and others to take the goods directly to the factory in the city.

I have to ask my mother when I go back this time to see which of my aunts is willing to work in the city. I can get a little more salary. If I don't receive the goods, I can come back and rest.

Anyway, the tractor at home has to go back to the city to deliver dried fish, so it is very convenient to come back.

Nowadays, more and more people in the village are gradually going out. Everyone is not so unfamiliar with the outside world, and they feel that traveling far away is not that difficult.

On the contrary, whenever the family goes on a long trip, they can bring all kinds of novel things back with them.

They originally expected to stay at sea for another week, but after only five or six days, they felt that the wind and waves were too strong. After discussing with several boats, they planned to return home.

This trip lasted about 10 days. Although we docked in the city for a day of rest, the trip lasted longer than ever before and the harvest was quite fruitful. Everyone was very satisfied.

But before going home, of course they stopped by the market again to sell their goods, and then went back after the goods were sold out the next day.

Lin Xiuqing had received a call from Ye Yaodong before, so she wasn't too worried about their trip taking so long.

Of course, other family members have her to convey information, and everyone feels at ease. If they can call back when they are away from home, it won't be a big problem.

When their four boats docked and returned, the village naturally became more lively again.

Now their family's workshop is related to the village's economy. As long as a fishing boat comes back from the shore, the workshop will immediately become lively. Every woman has work to do, and there is a better place for them to gather together and gossip.

They are not lonely and have money to earn. Nothing makes them happier than killing fish.

Ye Yaodong stood on the tractor and looked at the crowd of women at the entrance of the workshop. They all brought their own knives and cutting boards and were already waiting at the workshop.

Everyone was sharpening their knives and eager to start working immediately. They were even happier than him, as if their own family had a great harvest.

"You had a great harvest this time, and you brought back so many goods..."

"Oh, now you have grown into four boats? This is great, everyone has work to do again."

"Bless you, Adong, as you have more and more ships and more cargo, so that everyone can work more and earn more wages."

"Haha, I heard that Adong has been hired as the president of our city."

"Yes, there is a president here, and there is another president here at home. It's amazing."

"If you ask me, Adong's godfather is more capable. I heard that he is a big leader in the city, and he can be promoted by just mentioning a few words."

"Yes, during the first lunar month, all the leaders and their families came here specially. No adopted son came to the house on his own, and no one came to the house with his child."

"That's right. As soon as I got a good godfather, I was immediately promoted to president. If I do this in the future, I can join the party right away."

"Isn't it simple for the current Chairman Ye to join the party?"

Lin Xiuqing saw the tractor approaching and quickly smiled and asked everyone to step aside so that the tractor could drive directly into the workshop to unload the goods.

Everyone was happier than she was. As soon as they saw them jumping out of the car, they talked a lot.

He is now closely related to the interests of the people in the village, and most of the people are counting on eating with him.

I can get some work from him, earn some wages, and improve my family's conditions.

Lin Xiuqing also greeted him with a smile, "You came back just in time. The wind has been strong these two days, and the offshore fishing boats have not been out for many days. Fortunately, Ah Cai can still collect some goods from the dock in the town, but it is not enough for these women.

Killed."

"Every night I bring a cart back, which is only enough for them to kill that night. Recently, they have been free there during the day."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "No wonder as soon as our fishing boat docked, everyone was already standing on the roadside waiting with kitchen knives and cutting boards."

"How many tons of cargo did you bring back on this trip?"

"Only after we weighed it did we know that there must be more than before. After all, there is an extra boat."

"That should be enough for them to kill for a few days. Fortunately, the weather is cold and there has been no sunshine recently, so it will be fine for three or four days."

The two stood on the side of the road, talking and watching baskets of fish being lifted off the tractor and onto the scale.

Just after weighing the two stacked baskets, the men finished counting and then lifted the scales down. A woman started to move. They carried one basket and left, going to work first.

Their work is timed, and Pei Dongqing remembers when they come and go.

Pei Dongqing is now recording the weighing and counting, and then tallying up the total. Lin Xiuqing only needs to look at the total when she is finished, check and calculate.

It can be regarded as saving a lot of work. You don't have to stick to the workshop all day long and be unable to get out of work.

Now she could have time to stand next to Ye Yaodong and talk, instead of being so busy as before that whenever the fishing boat came close to her, she couldn't even say a word and had to be busy until dark.

In the past few days after the new year, Lin Xiuqing has also increased everyone's wages to 2 cents an hour. As long as you work for 10 hours, you can earn 2 yuan a day. If you work harder, you will certainly earn more if you work for more than ten hours.

.

However, there is not much to harvest these days, but today is different. Today, they can kill all the fish for a whole day and a night.

This year they also plan to restock more inventory. As their stores in the city have been open longer and longer, sales have become more stable and are increasing year by year.

Likewise, more women are invited to work.

When Lin Xiuqing and Ye Mu hire people, they always talk ugly things up front, and those who are lazy will be fired directly, so they are not afraid of them working as foreigners.

Everyone supervises each other and works together. How well they do is basically obvious to all. No one will waste this opportunity to make money. Who in a better life will come out to blow the cold wind to earn this hard money?

Lin Xiuqing couldn't sit still as she looked at the quantity being transported from the dock one after another. With such a large quantity, there probably weren't enough manpower.

The people in the current workshop are the same people who have been helping with the work years ago. A few more women were hired a few years ago, and now there are more people like Zhou Da and his brothers. The boat goes in and out together with them, bringing back the goods.

The quantity is also greater.

"How many quantities are there in the future? I think there are not enough manpower. We have to sort and..."

"No need to sort, just take them all for fermentation. How much trash fish can I buy for the wages it costs to hire a few more people to sort?"

"Oh, that's right. Then I have to call a few more women to help kill him, otherwise, he will be killed until he stinks."

"Go." Ye Yaodong waved his hand and motioned for her to go.

Now the goods have just come back. Several carts of baskets of goods have just been brought back from the dock. There are at least two ships of goods outside that have not yet been brought in. He has to watch here.

When he saw his mother coming, he told his mother to ask her for help to find out which aunt in his family was willing to go to the city to ferment fish sauce. The wages would be calculated as regular workers, regardless of whether they worked or not, and they would be paid monthly.

Instead of being like now, you will get money if you work hard, and you will have no money if you don't work.

He also explained to his mother by the way that the place was almost saturated and there was almost no room for fermentation. He happened to have bought 13 acres of land in the city and had already finished it. The containers would arrive in a few days and he could start drying.

.

Ye Mu also knows the production of fish sauce at home, and she also knows that the containers freed up by filtering every day can’t keep up with the large-scale collection of goods, and soon there will be nothing to put in the goods.

They can reserve the containers. This is not a big problem. There is no large area in the main village that they can buy for stacking. Since the land in the city has been bought, it must be used.

"I know, I'll ask later to see who is willing to go and how much salary are you prepared to offer?"

"I think, why not hire two people? It's 40 yuan a month for each person. They also have company, and the few people who receive the goods will have to stay in the city and take care of the food. Let the aunts also come along.

Cooking doesn’t work from morning to night anyway.”

"Okay, then if you invite your aunt, you must also invite your uncle, so as not to be all men. Although you are a bit old, it is easy for gossip to spread."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and felt that the two extra people wouldn't matter much. At most, he could bring back two people who received the goods and stay in the workshop to help.

"That's okay, then ask them to visit the factory. Once the fermentation really starts, someone will have to guard there every day and take shifts."

"Then I'll ask later. It's easier to talk about it if we go together as a husband and wife team."

"good."

After Lin Xiuqing called a few more women to come over with knives and cutting boards to work, Ye Yaodong also gave her a few words of advice.

"I know, you should go back to eat quickly. The goods should be almost finished here, right? I see they have all come in from the pier."

"I've already eaten." Ye Yaodong pointed to the soup bowl placed on the stool next to him. There was no soup left in it and he had eaten everything.

Not far away, Father Ye was also holding a bowl of noodles, walking back and forth, looking everywhere.

"Oh, I've already eaten it."

"The old lady just finished cooking and brought it out."

Lin Xiuqing also knew that he ate it first, and then the old lady went back and brought another bowl to Father Ye, so Father Ye was still making noodles.

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and took out the envelope and handed it to her, "You take this first, take it home and put it away. There is other money, I will hide it close to my body. I have to go home and take off my clothes before I can get it."

Lin Xiuqing recognized the words on it and was pleasantly surprised, "How much is the reward? Why is there the godfather's signature and private seal?"

"50 yuan, just two whales. It's impossible to get a big reward. It would be good if each of the three ships can get 50 yuan."

"Everyone asked for the godfather's signature and private seal. I mentioned it to them by the way. They all wanted to have a proof of information so that they could keep it as a souvenir in the future. Otherwise, it would only be 50 yuan in a few clicks.

Spend it.”

"Oh, this is not bad. It will be a souvenir when I take it out in the future."

"They originally wanted to ask their godfather to sign on the banknotes, but the godfather said no. It is illegal. The people don't know how to write blindly, but they will not be held accountable. He is a cadre himself and cannot do such a thing."

Lin Xiuqing didn't know much about it, "This is the first time I've heard of this. I've seen a lot of people scribbling and drawing on banknotes. I've seen many banknotes with patterns and names that I've dealt with in the past two years.

"

"Well, as a cadre, you must set an example. You should keep it first. I'm wet and smelly, so don't dirty the envelope."
