Chapter 1074 Taking A Guang Out to Sea

While Ye Yaodong was thinking, the others thought he was unhappy, and they all turned around and promised each other, cursing and swearing that no one was allowed to tell anyone.

After all, he is now the most promising among their brothers. All the people in the village combined are not as capable as him, and he is also famous in the surrounding areas.

Everyone is also a little worried that he is unhappy, and it was he who led the way to catch jellyfish.

With more wealth, his social status is naturally higher, and everyone will consciously look at his face. When they found that his face was much better, everyone was relieved.

Although many people followed him last year, they all followed him, and basically they were all people he knew. No one had followed the small wooden boat. If you really want to hug the thigh, of course you have to hug Dongzi's more reliable.

But Dongzi has too many boats, it is not easy to hug, and his two brothers are next to each other, which is just right.

"Don't worry, Dongzi. In order to make more money, we can't tell anyone."

"We've also told our wives at home."

"Whether we can get rich depends on this wave..."

"I heard that the boats that went with us last year made at least 10,000 yuan and made a lot of money. Our boat can't compare to yours, but we should be able to make 1/3 of it, right?" The eyes of the others lit up and they quickly agreed.

"It should be possible..."

"Don't expect to make as much as last year. We'll be satisfied if we can make 1/3..." Ye Yaodong laughed twice,

"Don't be too optimistic. Last year and the year before, we had fewer boats going there. Only our boats knew about the place I found. We divided it up and everyone made a lot of money."

"Ten people will know about it after we come back. There will be more boats going there this year, even your small wooden boats, not to mention the fishing boats around the town, so there will be more."

"It's not as easy to make money this year, and there are locals. Last year, we were on high alert and luckily we didn't get caught. It may also be because we have fewer boats and more people, so we can make money quickly. This year, they will gain experience and may also get involved. "Don't say you can earn 1/3 of last year's profit. You should be happy if you can earn 1/4. So if you go, you should be prepared and make good plans. Don't think too much. There are too many people and too little porridge." "Another point is that you are going with the trawler. If you come back, you must come back with the fishing boat. But to be honest, your small wooden boats are more maneuverable. You can salvage them one by one without wasting oil." "If the goods in the trench are all fished out, it is more appropriate for you small wooden boats to fish around the coast. It is better to row slowly to find them than to set nets at home. If you are around the coast, it is more convenient to row directly to the dock." Everyone frowned when they heard this, but they relaxed their brows after hearing this. They felt it made sense. No matter what, it is better than setting fishing nets at home. Isn't it said that locals can earn dozens of dollars a day by rowing a small wooden boat? This is better than at home. "Okay, okay, anyway, it's better than at home, we don't want to think too much."

"Yes, it's better than at home, at least we can earn a little more, after all, it's the flood season, everyone makes money during the flood season."

"Then you really can't talk about it everywhere, there will be more people, and everyone will cry for nothing."

"Definitely not." Seeing that they had reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Yaodong stopped talking nonsense.

"You can do it yourself, discuss and decide, don't shout around, too many people know, it will only harm everyone's interests."

"No, no..." Everyone promised again. Seeing the entrance of the village in sight, they didn't talk about these things after entering the village, and they all lived in different directions, so those who went the same way would walk together for a while, and those who went different ways would go directly to their own homes.

Father Ye carried a load and took his children and grandchildren to walk with everyone for a while, then walked to the fork in the road by the sea, and then talked while walking.

"We'll wash the things we brought back and stew them for lunch. There are chicken, duck, fish, and pig's head. Just add a few vegetables and it will be enough for a big table." Ye Yaodong also added,

"When I brought it back in the early morning, there was still a pile of pig's internal organs. I stewed the pig's stomach with the chicken, stir-fried the large intestine with pickles, and stir-fried a bowl of pork kidneys."

"That's enough." Sister Ye said happily: "Then let me cook it. We'll move the table out and put it at the door for lunch. There's a sunshade on the top anyway, so it won't be hot even if the sun doesn't shine on it."

"Okay, we'll all go help." It was rare for them to set up a table together, and everyone was very enthusiastic. The three sisters-in-law walked together to discuss how to cook, and the three brothers also walked together.

"Dongzi, the matter of taking a fishing boat to catch jellyfish..."

"Don't talk about this anymore. It's human nature to have some thoughts. But I want to say that if you take a small wooden boat to follow us to fish, it will be a problem to deliver the goods back to the city. Those wooden boats are too slow and waste time, so you have to discuss this carefully. I'm reminding you." The two brothers were stunned for a moment. They had never thought about this problem. They just thought that they could take it over and then take a cut of it. Anyway, A Guang has the receipt and the account cannot be wrong.

In this way, Dongzi's own boat will save a lot of trouble. He doesn't need to think about how to distribute it. He just needs to pay the wages. They still need to discuss it now. Taking 20% ​​not only covers the gas money for the trip across provinces, but also covers the daily round-trip sales. That's not cost-effective.

And after just chatting on the mountain, I don't know how much I can earn. Ye Yaopeng was entangled,

"Let's discuss it later."

"Anyway, you two will definitely continue to cooperate, just like last year, when one boat will fish and the other will go to the city to sell goods, and the money earned will be shared equally." Ye Yaohua nodded,

"Well, we discussed it before, and it's still the same. For the boats brought over, 20% of each boat will be added to the total income and divided together."

"Just know it in your mind." The old lady moved a stool and sat at the door waiting for them to come back, chatting with the neighbor old lady who came to visit her grandson.

Seeing a group of children running back first, she knew that it was done, but she didn't see the adults, so she still looked forward to it as usual, and only smiled when she saw people.

"Did it go smoothly? Was it reburied? I said I would go up the mountain with you, but you refused. The person is dead, why should I be sad? People are envious of my good life now."

"Yes, don't they envy your good life? The old man died early, so there is no need to take care of him, and there are filial grandchildren."

"Hehe..." Father Ye looked at the old lady who was talking next to him. Since when did the death of the man in the family become a good thing?

"The old man at home has nothing to offer except for pooping, farting and snoring. He still has to serve him food and drink. You are not as lucky as you are. You have a granddaughter-in-law to serve you. You are just short of wearing gold and silver." Father Ye couldn't help but speak out, "What do you old ladies talk about all day long?" "That's right. Don't people always say that old people will never die? Am I not lucky? The old man died a long time ago, and I still have a few filial grandchildren. I am living a happy life now." Father Ye glanced at the old lady unhappily, and ignored her. He carried the burden to the door first and asked them to pack these things first. "Come and pack them up, don't let the old people lead you astray." The three sisters-in-law all laughed, and then quickly rolled up their sleeves to work. It was already noon, and it would take an hour to pack and cook these things. Everyone was hungry. "You brothers, hurry up and move the table in the house and prop it up. Help pick the vegetables that need to be picked in the field. It will be quick to cook. We have been going up and down the mountain and are already hungry." The children at home also hurried to help pick vegetables.

The old lady looked here and there, feeling that she could not help. The children's circle had the most people, and she was even less needed. She continued to sit at the door and chat with other old ladies.

The women cooked, and the children picked and washed vegetables. Ye Yaodong had nothing to do after moving the table, so he took over the work of looking after the children and took Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, one hand each, to walk home.

It was noon and the sun was strong outside, so it was not suitable to take them out to play. It was better to go home and watch TV.

Ye's father followed him into the house and said as soon as he came in: "You can't blame your elder and second brothers for looking for a boat. They also want to make more money..."

"Okay, don't talk about this. We agreed to let it go. I didn't say anything, but you're still going on."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll be unhappy?" Ye Yaodong glanced at him and gave him a look, letting him understand it himself.

"It seems that there is not much rice left at home. We should be able to go out to sea at night. When the sun is about to set in the evening, I will push two bags to the rice mill to husk them. You can also go to other villages to see if there is rice to buy, and buy a few bags to keep at home."

"I know, wait until the evening and call other people to prepare to go out to sea at night. I haven't been there for more than a week." Ye Yaodong's eyes were fixed on the TV, but his thoughts had drifted to other places.

He thought about going to Linji to ask about the selection of people to raise kelp in the evening. After all, if he went out to sea at night, he would be gone for several days, which was related to his future plan to make money.

The night before yesterday, I asked two of my younger brothers to go to his house to move the equipment for launching onto the boat, and asked him about the kelp farming in his younger brother's village.

He only said that he had asked and confirmed that they had farmed kelp last year, but the yield was not high and the money earned was not much. Many people turned around to make quick money this year, and the only ones who continued to farm with the collective were the elderly.

For those who have made quick money and big money, how can they look down on the money earned from farming? Their ambitions have been raised.

How fast do quick money and big money come? Farming only harvests in one or two months of the year. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

But for most people in their village who can't make money, the money earned from farming can definitely satisfy everyone, not to mention that the market will get better and better.

As long as they persist, they will definitely be able to improve from generation to generation, and accumulating little by little will be stable. He asked that night. He wanted an old man who could concentrate on work. He was not confident in young people. There were too many temptations. They were impatient and did things rashly.

Lin Jishang agreed at the time, but said that he had asked someone to ask, but he was not sure when he could ask, so he would wait two days.

Yesterday, today, it's almost two days. I'll go ask in the evening. If they have found everything, he can let go and let them discuss it with the village committee.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Ye's father didn't say anything. He just took out his hookah again. He had been holding it in for the whole morning, so he took a few puffs to refresh himself.

The men in the family were waiting for food. When the women called, they all stood up and went to the door to eat the ready-made food.

It has been a while since they had such a good meal. The three families ate with their stomachs open. There was not a single bowl of food left, especially the three half-grown boys. They ate their fathers out of money. There was no chicken soup or duck soup left. The meat and vegetables were only left with bones.

The adults also ate with satisfaction. They all had a good meal under the pretext of offering sacrifices. When they finished eating, it was 2 o'clock. The men patted their butts and stood up as usual to enjoy the cool air. The women were there to clean up the mess.

Ye Yaodong also took a nap with the two little kids in his arms. When he woke up, the sun was almost setting, so he could go to work.

Ye's father also had a few drinks at noon, but he didn't dare drink more. He went home to sleep after dinner. It wasn't until Ye Yaodong came to ask him to go to the town to refuel and add ice that he got up and did the preparations.

Because it was not so convenient at night, they prepared in advance during the day to avoid any unexpected changes.

When the sun went down, they came back after finishing their work and pushed the cart to deliver the prepared materials to the boat in advance.

Pei's father came back after refueling and adding ice to the fishing boat, and was also busy delivering the prepared materials to A Guang. Ye Yaodong thought about going to bed early at night. After dinner, when it was dark, he went home to Linji after finishing his work.

This guy was not in a hurry to leave this time, and he could stay at home for two or three days. When he went there, he saw Lin Jishang holding a stick in his hand. His two sons stood in front of him like quails, crying and snotting, but they didn't dare to cry out loud. They just shrugged their shoulders.

"I seem to be a savior?" Lin Jishang glanced at him and pointed to the corner with the stick.

"Go stand over there." His two sons stood facing the wall with their heads down, and their movements looked quite skilled.

"It's good to stand against the wall, so I don't have to stand there and look around. I'll arrange it for my son next time."

"Are you here to ask the people who grow kelp?"

"Yes, I'm going out to sea at one o'clock, and I thought I'd come over to take a look and ask before going out to sea."

"The person has already asked, and he will bring it over in a few days. I'll see if I'm at home. If not, I'll ask my wife to take it to the village committee. When I received the call in the afternoon, I mentioned it to the village committee."

"Did they spoil their surprise?" Ye Yaodong was relieved. It would be great if someone could find him, and he could avoid a lot of detours.

It doesn't matter if the output is a little low. It's a good thing to be successful at the beginning. It's worth continuing if you can see the return of your efforts.

"Almost. I told you your idea. Whether the person you asked me to find succeeds or not is none of my business."

"Okay, okay, wait until I come back from the sea. I'll check if the person has arrived. When he arrives, I'll ask a few questions to find out more."

"Well, is everything okay?" Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise.

"You don't seem to welcome me?" Lin Jishang sat there and raised his eyelids.

"Why should I welcome you? You don't have any good things to do with me anyway. You just want something." He was stunned and thought about it. It seemed that what he said was true.

"No, I also let you make money, and I also paid you." Those canned fish alone made him a lot of money. How can he only ask for things and not do anything good?

This is already a good thing.

"But you have a lot to do."

"Haha, haha, there's a give and take. When will you leave this time?"

"I don't know, I'll stay for a few more days and take a break." Ye Yaodong was about to speak when he saw two black and gray puppies circling around him at his feet. They were small and looked cute, and they didn't look like ordinary local dogs.

"Are these two wolfhounds you brought back?"

"Well, they're still quite small now. Wait two months..."

"Ah... I'm going... Don't bite, don't bite... my shoes..." The two dogs circled around his feet and then set their eyes on the flip-flops on his feet, opening their mouths and biting them.

His instep was licked by their wet tongues, and he raised his feet to dodge, but they bit him and pulled him even harder.

If he hadn't raised his feet to dodge, the two puppies probably wouldn't have been able to pull him away. As soon as he raised his feet, the two puppies bit off his flip-flops with great force, leaving him standing on one foot.

"My shoes... I just bought them... You have to compensate me for them..."

"Just go get them from the doghouse. It's a good thing they didn't bite your toes." The two little wolfhounds went straight to their doghouse with the flip-flops in their mouths. Lin Ji's face, which had been expressionless, now looked full of smiles.

"That was because I hid in time, and they only bit my shoes. You two dogs are so powerful, you are worthy of being wolf dogs. I curled up my toes to hide, but they still pulled them away." Ye Yaodong stood on one leg and jumped to the doghouse, but found that the two dogs were biting his slippers, and there were already several tooth marks on the slippers. The sharp canine teeth that were exposed looked a bit difficult to deal with.

His family's native dogs would bark when they saw strangers. Although these two were little puppies, they were more ferocious wolf dogs.

He turned his head to look at Lin Jishang, but he looked at the two children standing against the wall. They had stopped sobbing and kept turning their heads to sneak glances at him.

"Let your two sons help me take out my slippers. I'm afraid I'll be bitten, and I'll have to ask you to pay for it." Lin Jishang turned his head and glared at his two sons who were already eager to try.

"Stand still." After shouting, he walked towards the doghouse.

"You have a dog, but you still need me to get it for you."

"Your two dogs are obviously biting, so of course you have to ask someone familiar to get it." Lin Jishang just pushed one dog away, and the other dog bit him tightly. He took turns pushing them away, and there was always another dog that came up to bite his slippers. When he pulled the slippers out of the dog's mouth, they were already covered with teeth marks.

And the two dogs chased him out of the doghouse, jumping up and down while holding his legs. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth,

"What size do you wear? I'll compensate you with two pairs in two days."

"44!" When Ye Yaodong lowered his head to put on his slippers, he found that Lin Jishang's slippers were also covered with teeth marks. At this time, the two dogs were also surrounding his shoes and biting the herringbone straps on them.

"Your two dogs like slippers very much. Are they from Guangdong Province?" Lin Jishang was puzzled. What does slippers have to do with Guangdong Province?

Ye Yaodong changed the subject,

"When they grow up and are in heat in a few months, send my dogs here for breeding."

"Whatever you want." Seeing the two dogs rushing towards him again and surrounding his feet again, he immediately dodged and walked out.

"Nothing, I'll go first, your two dogs are a bit of a shoe breaker." He had to go to bed early at night, and if there was nothing else, he wouldn't stay here.

"Yeah." When Ye Yaodong walked out, the two dogs were still running and barking behind him. It was only after Lin Ji called out that the two dogs turned back every few steps and went back.

At this time, he was also glad that his dogs didn't bite slippers very often, and their shoes were basically worn in the room, so the dogs couldn't pick them up. At most, they occasionally found a few broken shoes dragged back from somewhere in their doghouse.

When he walked back, he also turned to his hometown to see if his father had harvested the rice and if everyone had called.

As a result, when he went there, his father had already closed all the doors and windows. Only the light in his room was still on, which could be seen through the gap in the newspaper on the window.

He knocked on the window, but heard his father's nervous and vigilant voice from inside.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the window in the middle of the night? Are you going to be a ghost?" The curse was really dirty!

"Are you cursing your son!"

"Dongzi? What are you doing? You don't go out, but you knock on the window on purpose, scaring people to death. You don't sleep in the middle of the night and walk around. Do you want to get up at night?"

"You evil man complained first, you haven't slept yet, and you don't know what to do with the light on. You cursed as soon as you opened your mouth, and you closed the window in the middle of summer. You are guilty, right?"

"Nonsense, if you have anything to do, go through the front door."

"Nothing, just asking you..." Before he finished speaking, he heard his father open the door and go out, so he had to go to the front door.

Ye's father was shirtless and wearing a pair of baggy boxer shorts. He closed the door again just after letting him in.

"What's so shameful about you that you closed the door so quickly?"

"You are the one who is shameful. I'm about to go to bed, and you're still knocking on the window to scare me. What's the matter? It's so late?"

"It's not even 8 o'clock yet. Are you holding your baby and playing, so you got scared?" Ye's father glared and shushed him again.

"Keep your voice down."

"I knew it. I guessed it." Ye's father laughed and led him into the house. Then he fumbled in the pillowcase for a long time and took out a piece of gold covered with teeth marks to show him.

Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes. He said that he didn't find it when he shook the quilt yesterday, and he didn't find it when he touched under the pillow. It turned out that it was hidden in the pillowcase. How cunning.

"You hide here when my mother is at home?"

"No, I only hide it in my pillow when I sleep, and hide it in another place when I wake up. When your mother is at home, I hide it more secretly. There is no corner of the house that she is not familiar with, more familiar than a mouse."

"Okay, you have chewed it into a dough stick, Dad, are you grinding your teeth?"

"I am worried that someone will switch it. Every day I take it out, I have to take a bite to see if it is real." Ye Yaodong shook his head in disgust,

"Do you want to move to my place during this period? DongxZ, it's safer. There are people at my house 24 hours a day. If you go out to sea, there will be no one watching at home. You and my mother hid the coffin book, how can you rest assured if no one is watching it?"

"I don't know where your mother hid. She said that mice can't find her even if they come to dig holes, so I don't need to worry. I only have this one gold, so I will hide it at night. Anyway, the doors and windows are locked. Your elder sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law will come to feed the pigs during the day, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Okay, then you can see for yourself. Is everything done in the evening and everyone is happy?"

"It's been agreed a long time ago."

"Okay, then I'll go back, remember to lock the doors and windows."

"Go, go, go, go to bed early. The tide will not rise until three or four o'clock today, and the boat can go out. You don't have to get up so early. I told others to leave at four o'clock."

"Okay, I got it." It takes a while to go home and go to bed. It's not much different from the usual sleeping time, but you have to get up earlier. Calculated, you can get enough sleep tonight.

So he went home and played with the children for a while as usual, and then went to sleep in the unused room.

It was just that he woke up frequently to check his watch during the night. He hadn't been out to sea for too many days. When he thought about going out to sea at night, he was tense and kept awake, fearing that he would miss the time.

However, when he woke up at the right time, he was still full of energy. In fact, it should be because of his excitement, so he didn't look tired, but energetic.

Many fishing boats also went out to sea tonight. After the waves were small, everyone worked actively. They had rested for too many days.

Fishing boats can only go out when the tide is high, so every time they go out to sea, it is basically when there are the most people.

Fortunately, he didn't need to refuel at the dock. He just said hello twice, didn't stop, and went on the boat directly.

This time, he and his father drove a boat each. Pei's father didn't come with him, but he also said hello to the boatmen in advance. Anyway, they were all from the same village and everyone knew each other very well.

Ye's father went directly to the ship of Fengshou and drove in front, while he drove Dongsheng behind.

They had to drive to the city's dock to pick up Guang first. Fortunately, it was on the way. The offshore waters were shallow and not suitable for fishing. They just drove straight to the city.

After driving for five or six hours and picking up people, they drove to the open sea. Guang was waiting there in advance. When they arrived, it was already past 9 o'clock in the morning, so they didn't stay for long. At most, they said hello and didn't say much nonsense. The delay was a bit long.

After all, they usually drove directly from the village to the open sea instead of driving along the offshore to the city. Although it was on the way, there was a little difference between the sea inside and outside.

After picking up Guang, Ye's father did not return to the Dongsheng, but continued to stay on the Fengshou ship and sail with Guang.

Compared with him who went to sea for most of the year, Guang went to sea less frequently. Basically, he didn't go to sea much. He only went a few times and had little experience. So Ye's father was worried and stayed on the Fengshou.

He also found the boatman Chen Laoqi and discussed with him that the two would swap shifts. When they just came out of the village, he also called him to the cockpit and taught him to drive the boat for a while.

Chen Laoqi had been working with Chen Shi in shifts before. It was not that he did not want to teach Chen Shi, but Chen Shi was too young and stuttered. He could not say a word even if he was called for a long time.

The others were experienced old fishermen. They had a good sense of direction on the sea, and they also had compass needles to look at. It was easy to get started with the instruments after a little guidance.

It was also that these instruments were not sophisticated now. They were just simplified versions, very simple, and fool-proof operation, not complicated at all.

Along the way, he just watched from the side and did not make any mistakes. As long as he watched when the net was cast, there would probably be no problem after casting the net for a day.

Moreover, the two fishing boats went in and out together and fished in the same sea, taking care of each other, so they were not afraid of getting lost or getting into trouble. If there was something urgent, they could also contact his father to ask a few questions.

After the fishing boats traveled far enough, the two boats slowed down and began to cast the nets one after the other.

Chen Laoqi touched the steering wheel and couldn't let it go.

"I didn't expect that I could drive such a big and good boat in this life. Hahaha, although it has nothing to do with me, at least I can drive it."

"Haha, uncle is not too old. I will subsidize my son after earning a few years and let him buy a boat. Then I can drive it myself."

"Forget it. It's not fair to give it to so many sons."

"Which son is more filial, you can subsidize him secretly. Anyway, when you are old and can't work anymore, the most filial one will definitely take care of you the most."

"That's right, I'm afraid If you are filial now, you will be disliked when you are old. "

"It's not that filial piety is real or fake, you can still tell the difference."

"Hehe, let's see if there is a chance. I don't expect to be as successful as you. If I can be half as successful as you, I can wake up laughing in my dreams. Hehe, your father is lucky. His three sons are all very capable and filial."

"After you have money, filial piety will become very simple."

"That makes sense."

"Let's see how your first net harvest is later. When you are familiar with it, we can take turns at night." Chen Laoqi's old face was full of smiles,

"Then let's see what we can catch and whether there are many. If not, don't blame me for my smelly hands."

"No, no, thank you for helping me drive the boat. I'll give you a raise for this trip."

"Haha, really? Then I'm making a profit."
