Chapter 184 The iron boat is obtained
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong got up energetically early in the morning. He was thinking about the ship inspection today, so he did not go to sea.
When he got up early, he helped cook and let his wife go to bed. After the porridge was cooked and left to simmer, he planned to go out to the village center to see if anyone was selling pork.
He remembered that every morning, as long as it didn't rain, there would usually be people pushing carts to sell pork, vegetables, and occasionally fruits.
Maybe he got up too early and wandered around the village until he saw that the cart selling pork was late. He probably was selling it from the villages along the way.
At this time, pork is not cheap, and so are the bones. Fat is the most expensive. Who wants resources to be in short supply?
After I was reborn, I ate seafood and vegetables every meal. I could count the number of times I ate meat on ten fingers, not five!
Ye Yaodong picked a rib and a piece of pork belly. When he saw the fat meat next to him, he thought that all he eats at home is rapeseed oil. My father-in-law grows it himself and squeezes it. He doesn't know how much there is. Rapeseed oil is not nutritious.
Oily aroma.
His hands are faster than his brain, so he took another piece of fat meat. Anyway, it won't spoil if you fry it and leave it there. It's more fragrant to use meat oil for cooking. His wife also has to eat meat. She eats vegetables and seafood all day long. How can this be long?
Fat?
As for whether you will be scolded or harmed if you buy it back, that is a small matter and not a big problem.
If you like scolding, give her a few scoldings!
There are no villagers around the stall to buy. Is it a festival? Or some important event. Generally, few people buy meat. People at the beach eat seafood, and most of them are free of charge.
One piece of ribs, one piece of pork belly, and one piece of pork belly. Together they cost 3.5 yuan, so cheap!
They were all tied up with ropes and carried in their hands. On the way back, they actually saw cousin Meiying who had come to borrow money a few days ago. Looking at the meat he was carrying, his brows were furrowed as if he was trying to kill a fly.
He walked past without saying a word, and he only said hello to him without stopping. He had money and wanted to buy some meat for his family for a change, so why should he care about others?
He just doesn’t want to borrow money! Even if he has money, he won’t borrow it from a bad gambler.
When she returned home, Lin Xiuqing saw that he was holding meat and ribs in his hands. She opened her mouth to curse, but thinking about the inappropriateness of the morning, she held it back and just rolled her eyes at him and turned around.
.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly followed up, lifted the pork in his hand, and said with a smile: "Bake ribs and stew snake soup for noon, add a bowl of shrimp meat, you can't eat seafood every day without eating meat, you need a balanced nutrition..."
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "You want to eat it, right? Then why are you buying fat meat? There is rapeseed oil at home. Men can't have money in their pockets. If they have money, they like to spend it randomly..."
"Lard is fragrant. It's good to eat some lard occasionally. You can boil a little onion oil, scoop out a little bit of it when cooking noodles, and put it in. It's very fragrant..."
"As long as you know how to eat."
"Uncle Zhao's boat will arrive later. If there is no problem and the deal can be concluded, he may be invited to have a meal with Uncle Lin. The meat and vegetables bought may come in handy."
Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything at this time.
Ye Yaodong put the meat into the vegetable basket with a smile, then helped take the porridge out of the pot and let it cool. He washed the pot and then handed it to Lin Xiuqing to fry two vegetarian dishes.
After the family had a simple breakfast, his father and Uncle Lin came over and asked him to go to the beach for inspection. It happened to be windy today, and they were at home without going to sea.
The length of the hull is about 17 meters, which is three times faster than that of a small wooden boat. The weight it can carry depends on the depth of the draft. It will be no problem if it is doubled several times. All other machines are running well.
I went around the sea for a while and came back without any problems. Uncle Zhao also promised that if any major problems arise within half a month, I can contact him.
With Uncle Lin as a guarantee, they felt relieved and went directly to the commune in the village to register and write a receipt and certificate. Ye Yaodong paid him the money.
Although the law is not perfect yet, larger ships need to be registered to facilitate management, while small wooden ships do not.
"I've been working on it for a long time, and it's already noon. Dad, Uncle Lin, and Uncle Zhao are all going to my house for dinner. Ah Qing has probably cooked everything."
"No, no, I've cooked it at home. Let's go back and eat..."
"It's okay, just celebrate the success of the transaction, wish Uncle Zhao smooth sailing and make a fortune, and we will also make a fortune safely." Ye Yaodong happily pulled them home one by one.
He is hospitable and has many friends and many paths. It is rare to meet a boat boss who can afford to buy a boat over 30 meters long. I take the opportunity to build a better relationship and maybe ask him for advice on anything in the future.
Father Ye thought so too, and patted Uncle Lin with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go to Dongzi's house for dinner together. After finishing things, we must have a meal before leaving. I can't go to sea today anyway, so what can't I do?
, I’m just having a meal, it won’t delay anything.”
They were so kind that they couldn't resist, so they had to smile and go together.
Lin Xiuqing arranged a table of dishes in advance, including ribs stewed in snake soup, shrimp meat, mussels stir-fried with celery, steamed salted fish, dried dragon head stir-fried with celery, hot and sour soup, lard residue, taro dipped in fish sauce, and
Two bowls of vegetarian dishes, a full table, including meat, vegetables and fish, which is considered very rich in this era.
Except for the ribs and meat that Ye Yaodong bought in the morning, the rest are all stock that he has at home and can be easily disposed of without spending any money.
It was rare to find such a rich meal, so Ye Yaodong finished two bowls of rice and ate several taro dipped in fish sauce.
During this period, everyone praised Lin Xiuqing for being capable and cooking well.
He felt the same way. All the bowl of shrimp meat was eaten today.
Some places also call it shrimp paste, and the cooked pork belly has a special salty aroma and goes well with rice.
Because it was noon, they only drank one or two glasses of rice wine in broad daylight, and did not dare to drink more. After finishing their meal, they left. Ye Yaodong also helped clear the table after sending the people away.
Then he leaned over, lowered his head, put his head on his wife's shoulder, and said in a treasure-pronouncing tone, "Let me just say that the meat you bought today was not in vain, right? I will use it to entertain the guests at noon."
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, but said nothing to him.
Ye Yaodong walked forward with a smile, "Our family now has a tin boat. Do you want me to take you for a spin on the sea? It seems you haven't been to the sea yet?"
Lin Xiuqing was a little moved, "Isn't there a wave today?"
"I didn't say I would go today. The sunrise on the sea is quite beautiful. Do you want to take you to see the sunrise on the sea tomorrow?"
"Two children..."
"Just let them sleep in the house."
Lin Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, it's too early. The two of them will look for it when they wake up. And I still have one in my belly, so I'm afraid I'll get seasick."
"All right."
Then there is nothing we can do, we can only wait until later. The sunrise on the sea is still quite beautiful.
There was nothing to do at noon, so Ye Yaodong went to put the tools on the boat and some other things that needed to be used in the cabin of the tin boat, and then went to his hometown.
The boatman's matter has not been resolved yet. Uncle Zhao came over yesterday and the boat was quickly bought today.
Before he bought it, he didn't dare to look for it in advance. Who knew if it would work? Now he could ask his father to find out who his father wanted to give the small wooden boat to.
Ye's father happened to take a nap and had nothing to do. He was cutting bamboo and making bamboo flats there. After knowing his purpose, he also thought about it.
"You can't just find this boatman, you have to find someone you can trust. Money moves people's hearts. Not only do you have to face natural hazards at sea, you also have to deal with people's hearts, which are unpredictable."
"I know, that's why I came to ask dad if you have any suitable acquaintances?"
Ye Yaodong also had this concern in his heart. He was just gambling on his luck at sea. If he caught a very big fish, the boatman would be jealous and push him directly into the sea. This was not impossible.
The death rate at sea is too high. Who knows how you died? People on the shore know nothing and can't pursue it even if they want.
That's why he came to ask his father, whose character is more reliable?
In fact, if possible, he would like to hire family members. How can outsiders be as reliable as family members? But, his eldest brother and second brother are working very well with his father, and the monthly salary is definitely higher than that of being a boatman.
I definitely wouldn't think of working for him, so I'd better come to his father for advice.
Father Ye stopped what he was doing and said: "Your second cousin was originally hired to be a boatman. If he hadn't gone out to do business with your first cousin, it would be appropriate to hire him. Now... I have to ask. See
Let’s see who of your cousins ​​is free.”
Ye Yaodong nodded. It would be better to look for him among his relatives than outside, but he would have less contact with his cousins. The reason is that he was too useless in his previous life.
After thinking about it, Father Ye called Ye Huimei into the room and asked her to call his eldest and second brothers over.
"Two days ago, you said that after buying the big boat, you wanted to return the small wooden boat to me. I mentioned it to your eldest and second brothers, and I didn't know what they would choose. I just called them over to see what they said? Otherwise, then
It would be a waste to leave a boat alone.”
"oh."
He was also curious about who was going to accept his little wooden boat, so he went to the house and brought a chair out. He sat down and waited, intending to wait and listen.
By the way, I had a casual chat with his father about the recent harvest.
Unexpectedly, this month alone, each of them had to pay over 200 yuan after deducting gas money. This is still not enough to go every day, three days fishing and two days drying nets. Sometimes the wind and waves are strong, so it is good to go half a month.
Already.
Good guy, the harvest is so good, they probably won’t want to quit, right?
If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been able to collect the goods in the underground cage every day or two and sell them for more than ten yuan. Some poor people could only sell them for a few yuan a day.
A boat is divided among three people. If one person withdraws, the two people will be divided even more. One person is worth more than 300 yuan at least. Compared with the income of the cage net, which is more than 100 yuan, it is much different.
His two sisters-in-law are very smart. No matter how this account is calculated, it is not cost-effective. It is estimated that his father's plan will fail.
Chapter completed!
