Aunt Lin went there for a while and ran back panting after a while.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time. They had just finished weighing the scales and were about to count the money, so they happened to stop me."
"Then Ah Cai jumped out of anger? He said that he was on the list, but he regretted it again." Ye Yaodong thought that this was the second time for Uncle Lin, and it was time for Ah Cai to blow his beard and glare.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do. I didn't even calculate the money, so I crossed it out, and Ah Cai just muttered a few words. They also came back, and they were behind. They couldn't finish the trip. My son stayed at the dock to look at the goods.
Lao Lin was pushing the cart behind, and I ran back first."
"How about weighing yourself first?"
"Welcome to him and leave him alone. He will be there in a moment. It will be dark."
"Then go get a piece of paper and a pen, and take notes while weighing."
"Hey, okay..."
Ye Yaodong also went to get the large scale that was carried on the cart, and asked Aunt Lin to bring out a pole. This bag weighed dozens of kilograms, and two or three bags could be hooked at once. It would be faster for the two of them to lift it up with the pole.
Seeing that they were finally going to be weighed, the villagers gathered around to watch. A neighbor helped his father and Ye carry the pole, while Ye Yaodong and Aunt Lin watched the scale.
"Put these two 132-pound bags down. Just put them aside first...and two more..."
Just like this, two bags and two bags were weighed in a while. Ye Yaodong took the paper and added them up, "Toad fish total 552 kilograms, miscellaneous fish 89 kilograms. Multiply..."
He bit the pen holder and wrote and drew on the paper. It would be difficult for him to do the calculations orally. After all, it was a three-digit multiplication. It was easy to forget after calculating. It was easier to do the calculations on paper.
"3 cents per catty, 165 yuan and 6 cents for toad fish, 1.5 cents for miscellaneous fish... Oh my god, both of these are double digits, so troublesome... Let me do the math... 59 to 45
Enter four..."
Ye Yaodong worriedly calculated on the paper, still muttering in his mouth. Fortunately, he had a notebook to calculate, otherwise how could he calculate in his mind?
Suddenly, I missed the calculator a little bit.
It would be easier if you had a calculator.
Micro zero ~ micro zero ~ and then it will come out in a few clicks ~
Why bother doing math with pen and paper?
"Ah, let's do the math. There are 89 kilograms of miscellaneous fish, and 1.5 cents per kilogram is 13 yuan and 3.5 cents."
"The total is... let me calculate, it's 178 yuan and 9 and a half cents. Yes, that's right, it should be this amount. Auntie, take a look."
"Okay, I can't go wrong."
"You can do the math yourself and don't make a mistake."
"That's good."
After Ye Yaodong handed her the pen and paper, he and his father started to move the dried fish to the cart. They collected them all in one trip, which saved him trouble and saved him from having to go to several houses.
As he moved, he said, "Auntie, I don't have any money with me right now. I'll get it for you when I get home later."
"Okay, don't worry, it's okay. Are you still worried that I'll run away?"
After she checked the calculations, Uncle Lin also came back. He was very happy after knowing how much he had sold. In just a few days, he could sell it for dozens of yuan more than the dock. He couldn't close his mouth with laughter.
"It was because you were keeping it that I followed suit. Fortunately, I kept the goods for a few days. I can still sell some now and earn a little more."
However, Aunt Lin took down his position and said angrily: "Now you are lucky again? What would you do if they didn't come to collect it? Yesterday, you were still mumbling that you regretted it. If you had known better, you wouldn't have kept it. Everything was fresh.
Selling it to the dock saves a lot of trouble and effort, and the less money you spend, the less money you have.”
"Yesterday was yesterday, who can say for sure? Besides, retail sales can also be sold slowly, just...even if the sales time takes a little longer, they can still be sold..." Uncle Lin said very hard.
"You big-headed devil, sell it, if it rains heavily, you won't have anywhere to cry."
"Hey... you are boring to talk to. Why do you think so badly about things?"
Aunt Lin gave him a fierce look.
Father Ye quickly smoothed things over with a smile, "It's just the right time to sell it to us today, so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, you can take advantage of the good weather and be brave enough to dry it in the sun a little more. You might even want more."
"The fish are back. There are a little less toad fish today, more than 600 kilograms left, and there are 3 baskets of miscellaneous fish that have not been weighed. To unload these, I have to go to the pier to pull them out again."
"I'll help you unload it." Father Ye went over to help carry it.
Ye Yaodong and Aunt Lin also moved the bamboo bed into the house again. After finishing their work, he said: "Oh, by the way, Auntie, just treat this sack of yours as if I bought it. I won't exchange it for you. I'll replace it with the other one."
I'll give you a little more when I get the money later."
"It's okay, it's okay, just take it, it's just a few sacks, it doesn't matter."
"Yes, yes, I'll leave first."
These bags of dried fish collected a total of 641 kilograms. He still has more than 360 kilograms of dried toad fish at home, and his neighbors just collected another 120 kilograms.
It's like the neighbors charge more, but it doesn't matter. I have to go to the city anyway, so I take it over in the early morning and set up a stall to sell some. The dried fish is cheap, the portion is large, and it is popular.
As for the work of collecting fishing nets at sea, let his father and brother Ah Sheng go there tomorrow, and call Ah Guang later.
Let him help out for a day. Anyway, he stays at home all day long to be a babysitter, so he has nothing to do. His father is at home, so he doesn't have to worry about no one at home.
After returning home, Ye Yaodong said this to his father, and his father nodded.
"I originally thought about inviting one more person, maybe A Guang, to help. Since his father is at home, it's enough to have his father receive the goods."
"Well, as a son-in-law, I have a lot of work to do, so I have to do my best when I need to do it."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "I don't have any work to do, but I have to be ordered around by my brother-in-law."
"Isn't this how it should be?"
"Then when you send the money to Uncle Lin, go and talk to A Guang."
"Well, I have to apply for another tractor. This one is almost exclusive to me."
"It's a good idea. The Mazu Temple is still being built there, so it's your time to go there. It's early in the morning and you're on the way, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get you."
When Father Ye heard this, he also looked towards the Mazu Temple, but it was pitch black and he didn't see anything. However, he also saw it when he passed by it yesterday.
"The construction is a bit slow. It will probably not be completed until early next year."
"It's not too slow. There are so many workers working on it, but the area is a bit larger and more stones are needed. Excavation is more troublesome and slow, and it can't be done on rainy days."
"Send it off early, Adong. Go early and come back early. It's already 7 o'clock if you are busy here. Make arrangements and come back early. Go to bed early."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong took the money she handed over and went out again.
Since I came back in the afternoon, I have been busy going in and out, spinning around like a spinning top. Apart from sitting down to eat, my butt has never touched a stool. Fortunately, I have eaten early, so I don’t have to work hungry.
After arranging everything, he could lie down and sleep peacefully, and then get up again in the early morning to move goods and follow the tractor to the city.
This time they were familiar with each other and arrived an hour earlier than expected. It was still dawn, and rows of tall and upright figures were already standing on the playground. Ye Yaodong couldn't help but be speechless.
"It's quite hard to be a soldier. It's winter, and we have to get up before dawn to practice. At least we can still sleep in occasionally."
"Haha, being a soldier is very popular, and the benefits and benefits are good. Not just anyone can become one if they want to. It is an honor."
"Well let's go, deliver the goods quickly, set up a stall early, we can sell more."
"Okay."
The delivery went very smoothly this time. Team leader Zhao did not ask for the same type of dried toad and fish. He only said that he wanted 1,000 kilograms. Ye Yaodong also sold a combination of them the day before yesterday, and it was the same this time.
However, when he saw that after the weighing, only one and a half bags and more than 100 kilograms of dried fish were left, he actually wanted them all.
"This miscellaneous fish is very fragrant when steamed and served with wine, and the dried toad fish is more fragrant when fried."
"Yes, if Team Leader Zhao wants to go, then there are about 130 kilograms here, so just calculate the price of 100 kilograms."
Ye Yaodong was very happy. If he could clear them all, he would not have to set up a stall to sell them slowly. It would save him a lot of trouble and he could go home earlier.
"Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Originally, I wanted to use the leftovers to set up a stall. If you go with them all, it will save me the trouble."
"Do you do it all year round?"
"Not necessarily. Most of the time, you get more sun in autumn and winter, because it's easier to dry out in the north wind. In spring, there is more rain and heavy dew, so you don't get much sun, only occasionally. In summer, there are many mosquitoes and flies, so sun exposure is unhygienic, so in autumn and winter
As long as the weather is good during the day, we basically dry fish and vegetables there.”
Team Leader Zhao nodded, "It looks like we have to collect more and keep it there?"
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed when he heard this. If it was certain that they would harvest more, then he would dare to ask the villagers to dry more. Otherwise, there would be no guarantee. How could he dare to ask the villagers to dry in large quantities?
"Team leader Zhao, are you sure you want to collect more? If you are sure, I will ask the villagers to dry more when the weather is good. Otherwise, I will not dare to dry so much and put it there. If it rains, you want us to do it."
No, it depends on the weather before you can sunbathe."
"Furthermore, when it rains in our rural area, it leaks all the time. There are too many and we can't store them. Your army shouldn't be able to store them, right? If you collect them in advance and put them there, they won't go bad anyway. There are many people in the army and they are consumed quickly.
"
Team leader Zhao thought for a while and said: "That's what I say, but it's not good to stock up too much all at once. Let's do this. You can send me 1,000 kilograms every five days. That's almost enough for consumption. You can't do it every day.
Eat every meal, you have to arrange it at intervals. First send it to the New Year, how to arrange it after the New Year? I will make a reservation with you in advance."
Ye Yaodong calculated in his mind that there was still one and a half months before the Chinese New Year. In 45 days, he would have to give away almost 9,000 kilograms!
Huge order!
He doesn't have to set up a stall anymore, just sending troops to consume is enough!
I really met a noble person!
Ye Yaodong was so happy that the waves in his heart kept rolling.
If the 9,000 kilograms were all his own goods, he could earn two to three thousand yuan. If all the 9,000 kilograms were collected from outside, he could earn nearly a thousand yuan!
Mix it with each other, dry some at home and collect some outside, and you will definitely be able to earn two thousand by the end of the year!
Chapter completed!
