Chapter 1064 Discussion at the Dinner Table

After the children stopped making noise at home, the couple suddenly felt peaceful and comfortable.

Only the old lady felt uncomfortable and would turn around to look for her from time to time.

"Send them off now and bring them back later. Why go to all this trouble? Why don't you just find something for them to play with?"

"Be quiet."

After the old lady murmured for a while, seeing that the couple ignored her, she wisely shut her mouth, then replaced the batteries in the radio and prepared to listen to the radio.

This one can be used both by plug-in and battery. If there is a power outage and the power cannot be plugged in, you can just replace the battery and listen. It is also good to listen while working.

"How many more days until the new tomb worship service?"

Ye Yaodong stood up and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, "There are still 7 days."

"Oh, there's no rush."

"When the time comes, I'll go to my fat father-in-law and order a pig head and tail in advance."

"Okay, okay, then I'll make a few bowls of whatever chicken, duck, or fish you like and take them up the mountain."

Lin Xiuqing interrupted and changed the subject: "Would you like to see if their circuits have been repaired? Go there early and wait to be invited over..."

"Go and pull the light cord and you'll know if it's been repaired. If Dad waits there and it's repaired, he'll bring it over. If it's not repaired, he'll bring it over when the time comes."

"Oh, dad is watching over there, that's good."

After a while, Ye Mu also came over after work, and was shocked when she saw his bare head.

When she came over for dinner this morning, he had already gone out, and she didn't know that he had shaved his head last night.

"Ah!" She stared and took another look before she recognized her son. "What are you doing? You should shave your head properly. It would be unlucky to shave your head after being released from prison..."

Ye Yaodong reached out and touched his head, "It's okay, cool down."

"How do you go out and meet people like this? Before, you were wearing a weird hat, covering your face with only one eye exposed. You looked like a ghost. Now you shave your head, you don't know anything, and you're just messing around... "

"Why do you care what others think? I'll do whatever makes me feel comfortable."

"Comfort...comfort your head. Go out to the street. When people see you, they will think you are released from prison and they will have to hide and walk away."

Ye Yaodong patted his forehead and his eyes lit up, "What a great idea! Let the boys at home shave their heads and go back and forth to deliver goods to the city. Let's see who dares to make up their minds along the way. The ruthless man who just came out of the prison. I met him on the way. You have to avoid it when you arrive!"

Ye Mu's face was filled with disgust and she frowned, "What the hell is this idea?"

"That's a good idea, hahaha."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but smile and said: "Then when you go to Zhejiang Province next month to fish for jellyfish, let everyone shave their heads. By then, a lot of you will be bald. If you go to the pier, who will You have to hide, how can you dare to provoke the local second-rate people? It will be safer if you look at it."

Ye Yaodong laughed happily, "A group of ruthless people released from the prison can really scare people on the dock. However, when we have hundreds of people there, no local gangsters dare to provoke us. After all, people There are plenty of guns."

"Isn't it possible to get twice the result with half the effort with a bare head? It's more likely to scare people."

"That's right, that's right, hahaha... I'll let them all shave their heads when the time comes. Anyway, they'll be able to grow into bald heads after a month. It's also cool to have a bald head, so you don't have to fish all your hair out of the pickle vat every day. It’s the same thing, it’s sour and smelly, it’s easier to have no hair.”

"What's the benefit of shaving your head?" Ye Mu said angrily.

"Yes."

He really thought it would be wise to shave his head and go out, so he called for a barber and shaved everyone's head the night before departure.

"Mom, did you call everyone yesterday? Let me add something to them. Before setting off next month, I will ask someone to come over and shave their heads, so that their hair will not look like straw. It will save trouble to be outside without hair. It also saves you the trouble of washing your hair.”

"Are you serious?

? "

"Of course, I don't want them to pay for it. I'll pay for the haircut."

"Is this a matter of money? Forget it, it's not that shameful for a group of people to shave together and have a companion. When the rain stops, we can go door to door and talk about it."

"We are all from our own village. Everyone knows the basics. There is nothing to laugh about and no one will misunderstand anything. When we go out, it doesn't matter. No one knows anyone. We can come wherever it is convenient and we will grow up when we come back."

"Well...every day, my mind is filled with evil ideas..."

After mumbling for a while, Mother Ye planned to check if the food was ready, only to find that the table was already full of food.

She was surprised, "Why, you are having a hard time? You have to invite the whole village to eat for such a big table?"

"I'm going to invite Captain Chen and the others who came over to repair the circuit to have a meal. I'll also invite the village leaders to talk about raising kelp."

"Do you really want one? Does anyone want it? What did you say on the phone this morning?"

After knowing that they were going to invite someone to dinner, Ye Mu also rolled up her sleeves to help prepare the arrangements, asking questions while doing so.

Ye Yaodong probably told her that if she was free in the afternoon, he would spread the word and send it to the workshop when the weather was clear. She would pay as much as she wanted, and it would still cost 6 cents.

"How much do you want? What if I bring over all my relatives' belongings?"

"You want them all, I've said it all. Ten thousand kilograms is not too much, the more the merrier."

A tractor can only carry 5 tons at most. If the amount is larger than this, then hire another tractor to transport it.

"That's a lot, 5 tons... You really have to spread it farther to be able to collect it. Otherwise, who can show off so much? Are you sure you can sell it?"

"Um."

If he collects 5 tons, the cost is only 600 yuan, but if he can sell it for 1,500 yuan, he can earn 800 to 900 yuan if he resells it. The profit is very high. It is much faster than making a few cents in a store.

It took half a year to sell the fish sauce for only 6,500 yuan, barely recouping the original investment. The sales of kelp were much faster. Unfortunately, we can only do this now and have to wait until next year.

No wonder people say that the quantity should be as large as possible, even tens of thousands of kilograms is not too much. After all, it is seasonal, and the harvest is only one or two months a year. The dry goods will not go bad if they are stored, so you can just stock up and sell them slowly. What's more, people probably use it for wholesale.

"It's dried fish, it's a boat, it's kelp... It's so good at doing things like that. There's no one in the whole village who can do it better than you..."

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to listen to his mother's nagging, "You help here, I'll go out and see if they are getting better soon."

After saying that, the person also walked out of the door.

There was no rain at this time, only a few drops, so he no longer held an umbrella or wore a raincoat, since he was bald anyway.

With a big head and a big head, he doesn't have to worry about rain. Others have umbrellas, but he has a big head.

When he was halfway there, he also saw his father walking towards him from a distance with a bunch of people, and everyone was talking and laughing.

He stepped forward.

"Has it been fixed?"

Father Ye said: "Not yet. We are short of cables, so I asked someone to buy them. It's dinner time now, so I asked them to come over to eat first. It's not too late to start work after dinner."

"Then let's go eat first. The food is almost ready. I'm afraid it won't be that fast. I plan to go over and let you eat before we start."

"Haha, I'm shameless enough to go to your house for dinner again. I'll buy the cable later. I'll fix it and we'll have electricity soon."

"What's so shameless about this? We're all old acquaintances. We all know each other so well. It's rare for you to come to our village, but you still come to help. You should say hello well. You can stay at my place for a few days."

"Haha, just stay here. After the rain stops and the circuit here is repaired, I still have tasks."

A group of them walked to the beach talking and laughing. When people nearby heard the noise, some ran to the door to have a look, and some opened the windows and stuck their heads out to take a look.

Everyone was talking about his bald head. How could he not see such a striking bald head? But everyone was polite and asked without opening their mouths.

Ye Yaodong joins in the fun

He also translated what he had just said to his mother in the room, which made everyone admire his clever idea.

Even Secretary Chen said that it would be convenient for all the other fishing boats to have their heads shaved, which would also make the team appear larger and make outsiders more fearful.

He nodded his head in agreement, and chatted happily.

After the food was served at home, the atmosphere became more lively, and he also called his eldest and second brothers over to accompany the guests.

As for the children who came back from school, Lin Xiuqing left food for them early in advance, allowing them to eat at the door or upstairs.

They couldn't wait to do this, and they would run out to visit each other with a job in hand.

As for Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, no one in the room thought of taking them back, and the Pei family didn't deliberately send their children back.

When you are tired of eating your own food, you will feel extra delicious when eating other people's food. Ye Xiaoxi is also very happy staying at Pei's house, eating deliciously, and does not clamor to come back.

After three drinks, Ye Yaodong told the village chief and village secretary about raising kelp when the atmosphere was getting lively.

"You want to raise kelp?" Both of them said in unison in surprise.

"I'm not raising them. I want you to organize the villagers to raise them. You can call four or five people to try raising them on a small scale."

"How to raise this? Besides, does anyone want kelp? No one wants kelp here. When the season comes, we can just pick it up from the sea. Where else do we need to buy it?"

"I want as much as I can as long as I can grow it. Now that the rain has stopped, after dinner, I will ask my mother to go to the village to promote it. I want as much kelp as everyone has on hand."

The village chief and Secretary Chen looked at each other in confusion, feeling a little confused and unable to understand his intentions.

Ye Yaodong continued to add, recounting what they had discussed at their dinner table yesterday about the prospects of raising kelp, as well as "individual prosperity drives collective prosperity."

Before the village cadres could speak to the village secretary, Navy Captain Chen nodded appreciatively.

"You have a great idea. Your consciousness is too high. After you become personally wealthy, you don't forget about the collective. You also want to bring prosperity to the whole village. Your thoughts and morals are so good."

Other navies followed suit.

"Yes, your idea is great. You have your own shop, and you don't have to worry about the market to sell it. As long as you can support it, and the village has income, won't the collective be able to gradually become rich?"

"Don't talk about the countryside now. It's not easy for people in the city to make money. A lot of educated youth who have returned to the city can't find a job. Some elderly people even quit the factory and let their children inherit their jobs. No need to idle around while making matchboxes at home."

"Yes, if the whole village can make an income, that will be the hope of the whole village."

Captain Chen continued to smile and said: "I didn't expect you to be so caring. You care about the whole village and want to help the whole village get rid of poverty. No matter whether it is possible or not, you have to give it a try."

"If it works, your village will definitely be able to show off as a model. If it doesn't work, it won't be a loss. It's just the hard work of a few people."

"With only a small amount of effort, you can win big. It's worth it no matter how you look at it."

Others continued to echo.

"You rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you rely on the sea to eat the sea. This kelp cultivation is also at the sea, which is very suitable. Comrade Ye Yaodong is so smart. No wonder he is so famous now."

"Anyway, as long as it can be grown, Comrade Ye Yaodong will sell it, right?"

Ye Yaodong nodded quickly, "Yes, as long as I can grow it, I don't have to worry about selling it. Selling it will be an income for the whole village. After all, there are more than 400 households in the whole village, and not even one has a boat. Everyone just makes a living and saves a little money, which is not as good as the workers in the city who get a stable salary every month.”

If you tell them something like "high consciousness" and "good moral character", his face will turn red and he will not dare to answer the question.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading. How could he sleep?

Enlightenment, there is no ideological and moral character, it is purely driven by interests.

Captain Chen looked at the village chief and village secretary, "Well, since it can bring benefits, it should be worth the effort to study it, right?"

You guys have said everything, what else can they say?

After being surprised for a moment, the two cadres pricked up their ears to listen to this and that lecture, and pondered in their hearts.

The village chief pondered for a moment and asked: "A Dong, when you say you collect kelp, do you mean to collect it directly after the weather clears? Everyone in the village wants what they have."

Secretary Chen also asked with concern, "How much does it cost? How much can a pound be sold for?"

"I plan to charge 6 cents. I want as much as I want. If other villages picked it up and dried it some time ago, they will also want it. It doesn't matter if it's too much, it can be tens of thousands of kilograms."

The two old men immediately widened their eyes, "Ten thousand kilograms?"

Captain Chen and the others were also surprised, "So many? Is it so easy to sell?"

"I don't have to worry about selling it here. Look at my dried fish. I basically pull a cart away every once in a while. That's why I want our village to study growing it. As long as it can be grown, it will be a good thing for everyone. , all the villagers can have an income, and they don’t have to rely on odd jobs every day to support their families. Some families can’t save a few hundred yuan all year round.”

"No one knows how to grow it here. We all have no experience. The kelp grows on rocks... It grows naturally. When the season comes, everyone wants to eat and dig some, or rush up from the sea to pick up some and take it back."

"I know a little bit about it. I heard that some places have started farming, and they are not only raising kelp, but also sea cucumbers and abalone. How valuable are these two things, and they grow in the sea. Wild ones are not easy to get. If you dive into the water and catch it, the price has always been high.”

"If there is a price, there will naturally be a market. Correspondingly, the problem of food and clothing has been solved in the past few years. Everyone has some pursuit of quality. Naturally, there are laboratories specializing in breeding."

"So on the other hand, some people raise kelp. This can be sold to people who raise abalone and sea cucumbers as feed. Otherwise, what will sea cucumbers and abalones eat? Moreover, this kelp can be dried and stored. It can be stored without fear of damage. It can also be transported to inland area."

The village chief and village secretary were surprised again.

"Is there anyone who raises sea cucumbers and abalones?"

"Yes, I heard that there is a research institute that specializes in research."

"You know so much?"

"Listen to what the leader says."

The two of them nodded immediately, knowing that he had a good relationship with the leader, so it was normal to know more.

"So, I thought that kelp grows on some islands around us, and the environment is probably quite suitable for production, so I thought that our village could follow suit."

"We have to think about this."

"Yes, you have to think about it. This doesn't mean you can raise it by just raising it. We don't understand either..."

"Is that why I asked you to organize people? I don't have the time, otherwise I could just ask people to do it myself."

In fact, he can ask others to do it himself. Anyway, he has to tell them how to collect seedlings, raise seedlings and clip seedlings, and what temperature is suitable for the weather.

But if he wants to get considerable profits after planting it, there will definitely be a lot of people in the village who want to come to ask for advice and follow suit, and they have to teach him. Then they will definitely be in trouble.

He originally didn't make money from farming. He wanted to make money by harvesting vegetables. It was really unnecessary for him to spend the effort to ask others to do it.

Therefore, it is quite necessary to directly ask the village committee to come forward for breeding and directly ask the village committee to organize manpower. When the time comes, it will slowly expand to the whole village and let the village committee worry about it. At most, he can tell what to do in advance. Do.

It would be better if the village committee took charge of everything, and he would give ideas.

If we really want to plant it, we can't leave him behind and let others collect the goods. We will definitely give him priority.

When it develops from a collective to an individual, it will be up to each family to choose who to receive the goods from, and by then he will have already made a lot of money.

"Then we have to go back and discuss it. After all, this is a new thing. As you said, it is very likely that it will be distributed directly to the village.

To get rich, we have to discuss who would be more suitable to do it. "

"This kelp is grown in winter, right? I think it's in April and May. There are more kelp floating on the sea, and it grows bigger on the island."

"Yes, kelp produces seedlings through spore germination, and then the seedlings are attached to the incubator, and then the incubator is placed in seawater for temporary cultivation. After the seedlings grow to a certain size, the seedlings are divided and cultivated. Now kelp When it is ripe, its base will become darker and thicker, just slice it."

Everyone listened in confusion, and suddenly Secretary Chen caught the key point.

"Planting this kind of plant on the sea requires a boat, and you also need a rope float or something. You don't mean to grow it on a rope, so the cost investment should be quite large."

"Yes, we can talk about this in detail later. Now everyone is eating, so don't affect everyone's eating, haha."

Anyway, it has already started. Let them know. They will have to digest it when they return, and then discuss it. They also need to watch the process of collecting kelp, so that they can be convinced that they will not worry about selling, and give them some motivation.

Then let’s talk about investment costs and donate two boats to him. This needs to be discussed after the village committee is interested. Rushing is not a business, so there is no reason to follow behind and donate money.

No matter what, they have to be moved and then take the initiative to discuss it with him.

Moreover, they were not the only ones at the dinner table now. They had to eat first and greet several marines.

The village chief immediately answered with a smile, "Yes, yes, this is about the development of the village. Let's talk about it later. It sounds like your original intention was good."

"Of course, I am also a member of our Baisha Village, and I also want our village to become more and more prosperous and wealthy."

Secretary Chen also said: "You are really becoming more and more successful. No one in the village can compare with you, and your brain is really powerful. You can think of everything. You have so many ideas."

"We will have a meeting later and discuss it together. If this kelp can really be sold at a high price, it would be a good idea."

Mother Ye answered immediately, "I'll go to the canteen after dinner to talk. Then you can just watch us receive the goods."

Father Ye also said: "If this cannot be sold, it will be equivalent to Dongzi giving money. He will definitely not do anything that requires him to give money. It's not like the money is too much."

"Originally, he went out to sea to fish and sell fish, and he did a good job. He had shops in the city and so many boats in his hands. He made a steady income every month. The kelp didn't matter to him. In fact, he doesn’t need to bother with this.”

"It is for the sake of our village that he wants to ask the village committee to organize breeding. He also wants to make our village better and better, otherwise he does not have to do such a thankless job."

Everyone at the dinner table couldn't help but nod their heads.

Captain Chen also said: "Comrade Ye Yaodong is really enlightened. No wonder he is getting more and more powerful."

"Oh, stop boasting, stop boasting. I'm thin-skinned. I'm blushing when I praise you. Come on, eat, eat, eat. You're welcome. We've been chatting a lot here. Will it affect your meal..."

"No, eating has to be so lively, and we have such a lively meal at home."

"Would you like two drinks? I have homemade rice wine at home. This is delicious..."

Ye's mother glanced at Ye's father, and then smiled and greeted everyone, "Eat more, don't be polite, just treat it like your own home, I'll get you rice wine."

"No, no, no, no, we still have work to do. Drinking in broad daylight will delay things."

"Yeah, how can you drink when you still have work to do? You have to go back to report in the afternoon. What's the point of drinking?"

Father Ye immediately called to the village chief and secretary, "Then you have two drinks..."

"No, no, we have to go to work in the afternoon. How can we go to work after drinking? The circuit hasn't been repaired yet."

"I'll drink it next time I get the chance. Don't drink it in broad daylight."

"Hehehe, then eat more..."

Mother Ye came out with the wine and put it on the stove, then sat down again with a smile.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became intense again. Everyone talked about any topic, but the most talked about was around a few navy comrades, talking about their recent lighthouse project.

While the table was busy eating, Father Pei and Sister Aguang each brought a clay monkey over.

When the two of them stood at the door of the courtyard and saw the bustle in the room, they were both stunned. They were a little hesitant and didn't know whether to go in.

It was Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang who saw them eating while standing in front of someone else's house. They immediately ran over with their rice bowls and kicked the dog away to let them in. They also ran back home and shouted.

"Mom, my sister is back, she is so dirty..."

Then he put the empty bowl on the stove and ran outside like a gust of wind.

Ye Chengyang also put the dishes and chopsticks on the stove in the same manner, and ran out after him.

Everyone in the room looked towards the door, and Lin Xiuqing also stood up immediately.

With so many people around, she couldn't scold the child, so she just took Ye Xiaoxi over with a smile and asked, "Why is it so dirty?"

Father Pei smiled and said, "The two were playing hide-and-seek, and a small cauliflower snake crawled into the house. Xiaoyu caught the snake and went to find Xiaojiu, but Xiaojiu was frightened. She ran outside screaming. After a fall, Xiaoyu followed her and got wet."

"There are no clothes for the two girls at home, so I brought them over to change."

Everyone looked at Pei Yu in Father Pei's arms with wide eyes in surprise.

People should not be judged by their appearance!

When Pei Yu saw so many people looking at her, she shyly crawled into her father's arms and buried her head in his neck to hide.

"Such a little girl is so brave. She didn't dare to catch earthworms when I asked her to catch them some time ago." Ye Yaodong said in disbelief.

The old lady smiled and said, "After that, I dug earthworms with Xiaojiu every day to feed the chickens. He got addicted to it."

"Is this okay?"

"Dad caught one before..." Pei Yu turned around and whispered, "Say catching a snake..."

"I knew it, she could catch snakes at such a young age. It turned out that A Guang taught her. Like father, like daughter. She's amazing."

Ye Yaodong was amazed. He originally thought Pei Yu was quiet and well-behaved, and the little girl was easily shy. He didn't expect that she could catch snakes without hesitation.

At this time, Ye Xiaoxi also hugged Lin Xiuqing's thighs and cried, "Wow wow wow ~ scared ~ old snake scared ~ sister is bad ~ don't play with her ~ bad sister ~"

"Why did you shave your head!" Ye's mother was surprised.

Just now, Ye Xiaoxi was held horizontally in the back, and her sight was blocked by Pei's father. Ye's father and mother didn't notice that Ye Xiaoxi had become bald. Now that she cried, they looked down and saw the little bald head on the ground, and they were surprised.

Father Ye was also surprised, "Why does a little girl shave her head..."

"Your whole family is bald, the two sons who just ran away are also bald..." Captain Chen also laughed and said in surprise, "Four bald heads? Hahaha..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "The hair is too long, and it is easy to sweat in summer. In order to save trouble, I shaved my head and asked my two sons to shave their heads. I didn't expect that this girl would cry and make a fuss and also shave her head, so I shaved her head. Anyway, it's okay since she is still young."

Father Pei looked at the people at the table curiously, "Are there guests today?"

"They are the navy, just came to check Fix the circuit. Didn't the power go out yesterday because of the thunder? The lighthouse outside the town couldn't be operated, so I was assigned to fix the circuit. "

Father Ye added: "Captain Chen also came to our village to salvage the sunken ship two years ago and lived in our house, so we are familiar with each other, so I invited him back for dinner. Come on, sit down and eat together."

"No, no, I've eaten..."

"It doesn't matter. You can sit down and chat after eating. Anyway, we are not strangers."

Mother Ye also stood up and swept the mess on the table with a rag, vacated a seat, and added another set of bowls and chopsticks for Father Pei to sit.

And Lin Xiuqing and A Guang's eldest sister took the two children back to the house to bathe and change their clothes first.
