Chapter 1069: Introducer
Father Ye was very curious.
"You seem to have been in close contact this year?"
"What's the connection? What do you mean by close? He came to me to buy dried fish, so he was close? He only bought from me twice in total, and it was all the villagers who said that I helped him make money. It was all spread."
"That's true, but the two times combined bought 10,000 kilograms, which is a lot. The troops in the city and Boss Zhou only buy about 5,000 kilograms a month, and sometimes even less than that. It's a lot."
"Yeah, it's a lot. Fortunately, after the New Year, there were two boats fishing together, so there were more goods left. , there is still stock to sell. Otherwise, more than half a year has passed since this year, and there has been no drying in the last two months, so there may be no stock. "
"Didn't you dry squid all the time last month? Have you sold out the squid?"
"It's too early. The freshness of the first time it was on the market has passed. The sales speed has dropped a lot now. I can't sell a few kilograms a day. It's too expensive. Anyway, it won't go bad if it's left. Wait until the New Year, and everyone will be willing to spend money."
When Ye's father heard that it was not selling now, he was a little anxious. He complained that he dried too much.
Ye Yaodong's face immediately relaxed, "I know what's going on."
Mother Ye also came back to her senses and glared at Father Ye, "Why are you nagging? It's good that he didn't lose money. Besides, it's impossible to sell all the things at once. There are always times when it's hard to sell."
"Anyway, it's good that it sells well during the New Year and other festivals. This kind of dry food is not fresh. It will go bad after two or three days. Just let him sell it slowly. When has he ever lost money? The money won't go into your pocket. Why are you so anxious?"
The old lady also said, "Who can afford to eat such expensive things every day? Anyway, it's good to sell it slowly. It's only been a month and half of it can be sold. The rest is not unsellable. Worrying about it is useless. You can't stop eating."
Just saying one sentence, the whole family disliked it. Father Ye immediately shut up. It felt that he really couldn't stay in this family for a moment, and he couldn't even talk. Obviously, he also cared and thought it was better to take it slowly.
He was unhappy and didn't dawdle until the end of the meal. Before others got up, he had already put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat down to smoke a hookah.
However, when he heard Ye's mother tell Ye Yaodong not to leave so early tomorrow, she would go and ask if he could take a half-month leave, Ye's father's ears perked up.
Middle-aged men can't afford to be hurt, so they long for a quiet breathing space and a few days of freedom. Now they are finally getting it.
Ye Yaodong immediately said, "Of course, the village has been quite peaceful recently. We don't need you to mediate or fight."
"Nonsense, when have I ever fought? Don't talk nonsense, I only mediate, never hit anyone. But, it's true, Haozi's ex-wife has moved back into his house, and she hasn't been driven out even though it rained these past two days, so it looks like the divorce and remarriage are halfway to success. It's just the mess in his family during this period, otherwise our village is quite peaceful."
"Moved in? So soon?"
Ye Yaodong was surprised. He thought the former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could fight for a few more months, but he didn't expect that his ex-wife would succeed in just a few days? His mother is not strong enough.
"I heard that they moved in during the rainy days. They said they were worried about their children. The house was leaking everywhere and they were afraid that no one would take care of the children. Then the old lady tried to drive them away several times but failed. After all, her grandson was there to protect her, and the three of them were hugging each other."
Lin Xiuqing was also curious, "Then they just stayed there? I heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a big fight some time ago, and they quarreled every other day."
"Yes, they just stayed there. They moved in during the first power outage. Then the next day when the rain stopped, Wang Laohan's family couldn't wait to send all the luggage over. Now they couldn't drive them away."
Ye Yaodong laughed twice, "Then when he comes back, there will be a good show at home."
"Isn't it? If he comes back with money, his family will have problems; if he comes back with nothing, his family will have problems too. His mother probably wants to wait for him to come back and leave it to him to deal with. After all, both children need their mother and want their mother to take care of them. She probably wants to save trouble and doesn't want to take care of two grandchildren. "
"Now that there is nothing lively in the village, you can go to the city and live for ten days or half a month. While taking care of Huimei, you can also go around and have fun."
"There are not many women in the village who have been to the county town, let alone the city. You have stayed for half a month. When you come back, you will have something to talk about. You can tell people more about the city."
Ye's mother was more moved after hearing this, and she ate more absent-mindedly.
"I'll ask tomorrow. Don't leave so early tomorrow."
"I know."
She said she would ask tomorrow, but when she thought of it, she couldn't sit still for a moment. After eating a few bites, she walked out without waiting for Ye's father.
She used to stay to help clean the table or wash the dishes.
Father Ye waited until she left before he relaxed and said, "It's better to go for a few days, so that she won't look down on me here and there at home. I always feel that as long as I don't go out to sea, under her nose, even if I'm busy like a spinning top, she will think I'm having fun."
Ye Yaodong nodded seriously, he deeply resonated with this point.
"Yes, that's it."
As he said this, he already glanced at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him unhappily, "When did I dislike you? You lie at home with your legs crossed every day, and I didn't say anything, okay?"
"It all depends on your mood. When you are in a good mood, the house is sunny. When you are unhappy, you can't stop scolding this and that."
The old lady laughed, "Don't say that. If you are idle at home, you should help more. Ah Qing is spinning like a top every day, either around the children or around the stove, or he has to run to the beach to work in the workshop, and sometimes he has to work in the fields."
"I know, when was there a day when I was idle at home and didn't help with work and take care of the children? Sometimes I have to take care of eight, nine, or ten children. It was my father who just complained. I think he makes sense. My mother's mouth is sometimes very useful, and sometimes very annoying."
"That's right!" Now it was Ye's father's turn to nod in agreement.
"You've already finished eating, what's your business? It's all right, go back after you finish eating, don't sit there and talk too much, disturbing other people's meals."
The old lady had already driven everyone away, so Ye's father had to take one last puff, then he held the hookah in one hand and put the tobacco box in his pocket in the other hand and walked out, leaving a word before leaving.
"I'll bring the clothes over later."
Ye Chenghu immediately agreed happily, "Okay."
"My mother really asked my father to wash his own clothes?"
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading. "Yesterday, mom was just pretending to be polite and urging him to drink. Dad was so greedy that he got drunk with them, and maybe even drank more than them. The rice wine was originally made for Huimei to drink during her confinement. It's okay to give some to guests, but dad didn't know what was going on and drank so hard."
"Then last night, we didn't throw him into the pigpen, and let him sleep on the floor. Were we showing mercy?"
"It's really hard to say whether it was mercy."
"Eat, eat, eat, don't worry about your dad. He deserves it. He has to be controlled so tightly at his age. I think your mom should stay at home, otherwise no one will watch him."
"Let's get things done tomorrow and see the weather the day after tomorrow. If it's calm, I'll go out to sea. My dad won't be so leisurely to drink and play cards at home."
After the heavy rain, the sky was full of clouds. It should be sunny next time. It was sunny today, but the waves were big. He would have to go out to sea in two days. His dad's carefree days would not last long.
Ye's father and mother had already left the table, and the couple had no other gossip to exchange, so they just chatted for a few words.
Ye Yaodong had always been thinking about Lin Ji, and knew that he would definitely come when he came back, so he moved a stool and sat at the door to wait while enjoying the cool air.
What surprised him was that this bastard came at dusk today, and did not come in the middle of the night.
"You came at a wrong time." Ye Yaodong listened to the barking of the dog, looked up and saw the man standing at the door, and said in surprise.
"Why am I at a wrong time?"
It was too open, and he was a little uncomfortable. He was used to seeing ghosts, but now he saw people.
"Have you got what I asked you to do last time?"
"Yes, I'll move in tomorrow. I just came to see if you're home. I heard that you've been tinkering with kelp these days."
"That's right."
"I'm just letting you know. Kelp seems to be selling well in inland areas these past two years."
"I know that, so I've been mobilizing the village to cultivate kelp these days."
"Ah? You want the village to cultivate it?"
Lin Ji was surprised. He didn't expect him to be so positive. "Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility? Let the village work in vain?"
"Not really. Just let a few people do some research first. It's just a small investment. It's just a little labor-intensive, not a large-scale one. Anyway, try it first and mobilize others after you make some progress."
Ye Yaodong told him his idea. It wasn't a secret that couldn't be told. It was okay to tell him.
After listening to him, Lin Jishang was quite impressed. "I didn't expect you to have such a long-term vision. Not only is your awareness high, but you can also make money for yourself. It can also bring hope to the village. If it works, the villagers will rely on this for decades to come."
"Well, that's right. Anyway, there are only benefits and no harm. You won't lose if you try it."
He pondered for a while and said hesitantly: "I have two younger brothers under me. It seems that they have been studying kelp cultivation in their village a few years ago. It seems that they have succeeded in the past two years, but most people think that the money comes slowly and the share is small..."
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "So do you have technical talents or fishermen with planting experience who can be introduced?"
He knew that in the coastal areas to the south, some people thought that fishing was slow to make money and the risks were high, so they directly abandoned their old business and chose to make quick money.
After all, it is also high risk, why not choose to make money faster?
Following Lin Jishang, you can earn a month's salary in a day. Who the hell would still go to breeding?
"I need to ask the two younger brothers to see if there are still people doing it in their village this year. You know, with the liberalization of policies in recent years, many people have lost the skills they originally relied on for survival..."
"I understand... I understand this... Even if they still have the skills they rely on for survival, they will still do part-time jobs to earn quick money."
"Yes."
"Then you can ask them, and then go to the village committee to tell them. If there are really people who know how to plant, invite two people to come and ask the village committee to pay them a fixed salary every month. The village committee will definitely agree."
And this is also stable, with a stable salary every month. There are always older people who are unwilling to take risks like young people.
As long as you can invite two people with planting experience, it will be twice the result with half the effort, and he doesn't need to keep an eye on it. The people invited are much more useful than him, just copy and paste.
The problems and difficulties encountered will also be solved by more experienced people, and the success rate will be higher.
After planting for a year, when the villagers know how to plant, it will be much easier next year. Everyone has a skill. In this way, are you afraid that they can't get rich slowly?
Being down-to-earth is more important for the development of a village. It is only one person who makes quick money, not to mention that the risk is even more deadly.
Lin Jishang laughed, "You can make decisions for the village committee?"
"How can I? I just think they will be willing to do it. They originally have to organize the villagers and pay a little hard work fee. Now they can ask people to do it, which can save a lot of detours."
"Aren't you afraid that it won't grow due to regional differences, and then the people you invite will cause the village committee to spend money in vain?"
"That's not what I'm worried about. I just made a suggestion, and their village cadres were also tempted. I just helped them solve the problem of sales. The starting point was good, and I wanted the whole village to become rich."
And he even supported two
boats. Based on the experience of the previous life, it will succeed, and their sea area will be suitable for it.
It's just that the village lacks the first person to eat crabs and the person who leads the way.
Of course, you have to try everything boldly. How can you know if it works if you don't try it? When you try it, you will probably know how delicious it is.
"Well, as long as you don't end up complaining, if you have confidence, I'll introduce two people to you. Ask tomorrow, it's already dark today."
"Okay."
