Chapter 1100 Remittance
The father and son hadn't left yet, and were still chatting there, when someone outside shouted that Chen Jianian was coming to find them. The two looked at each other and went out immediately.
He came really fast. It was probably because he heard that they were back the first time, so he came immediately.
However, Chen Jianian didn't talk much when he came. He just smiled and said that they would live in peace at that time. They all came from the same place and everyone should take care of each other.
Ye Yaodong couldn't refuse, and nodded with a smile. By the way, he also politely asked him to stay for dinner together. However, he was also tactful. He knew that he had just returned and hadn't eaten yet, so he left after chatting for a few words.
When they arrived today, they must have known how many boats they had come this time in total. In comparison, Ye Yaodong's side had fewer large ships and more small boats, while their side was all large ships, and the number of people was about the same.
All in all, the two groups were really a big force, directly stationed in the town.
In order to coexist peacefully, they had to say hello when they came. Everyone wanted to make more money, and they might have to work together to resist the rejection of the locals.
As for the large amount of hairtail he dragged back today, people didn't keep asking. They probably thought the rumors outside were too exaggerated and didn't take it seriously, not to mention that their purpose was jellyfish.
Ye Yaodong didn't specifically tell Chen Jianian that the situation might not be so good this year. Anyway, it all depends on the situation.
After dinner, the boatmen also began to organize the longline fishing so that they could continue to cast hooks tomorrow, and continue to work on the materials they added today.
Ye Yaodong thought it would be good to find something for them at night, so that they wouldn't run around or gamble in groups. In general, there was still too little entertainment.
Everyone got together and couldn't help chatting more. Other villagers also came over to ask how much they sold the hairtail today. Everyone heard the rumors outside and knew that they caught several thousand kilograms of hairtail today.
"How did you fish? How did you catch so many cutlassfish?
"I saw you doing longline fishing yesterday. Is it not enough today? Yesterday you said you found a school of cutlassfish. Why didn't those cutlassfish swim away? You can still catch so many today. Isn't it amazing?"
"How come those cutlassfish are still there? You can still catch so many, thousands of kilograms. Don't they have to be collected and sorted after one use?"
"You are doing longline fishing again. Are the cutlassfish still there?"
"This is too strange, right? Don't fish schools move all the time?"
"Is there a school of cutlassfish in the trench where you fish for sea urchins?"
"Of course, it must be in the trench. Otherwise, how could you catch so many..."
"Old Pei seemed to say that he caught thousands of kilograms today. You two families went in and out together. You made all the money. ”
“Can everyone make this money with you guys… We don’t know when the jellyfish season will start, and the profit from trawling is much less than what you make…”
“Your line is full of hooks, is this the secret to catching so many fish in a day? I saw it yesterday and was wondering..."
"Sea urchins and hairtails, you made a fortune as soon as you came here, you don't have to wait for jellyfish... Tell everyone... Let's make money together..."
...
A bunch of people knew yesterday that they were doing longline fishing and were going to use longline fishing to catch hairtails.
No one said much, but they were actually complaining in their hearts, saying that they were messing around, and if they waited until they finished fishing, the fish would have run away.
They didn't make any money before they went out, but they had to spend a lot of money before they went out.
However, after hearing about their harvest in the evening, no one could sit still, and dozens of people came over to inquire after they came back.
Pei's father came back before everyone else, so everyone came back later and didn't bump into him, and the number was not as much as Ye Yaodong, so it didn't cause much shock, but the number Ye Yaodong brought back was Everyone was talking about it, so much so that they all came to him to inquire.
There were dozens of boatmen on his side. Those who went back communicated with those who stayed behind, and then the people in the village came over to ask, and basically knew everything.
Unexpectedly, the fish lived in the trench. No one had ever been down there, and they didn't know how deep or wide it was. With their limited imagination, they couldn't imagine it at all.
After a little discussion, they couldn't help but slap their thighs.
"I didn't expect there would be everything in the trench... It's all in there..."
"Oh my... We don't have the ability to go down into the water..."
"Damn, Adong is still very well connected, and can get anything. Those who came to our village to salvage in the past two years seemed to have equipment that could go into the water. This must have a connection to get it?"
"Adong knows a lot of people. Isn't he on good terms with the leaders who came to our village before? I heard that he got it from there. This is amazing. ”
“It turns out that they found it yesterday when they went into the water, and then they came back and did longline fishing as quickly as possible, so they caught so many today.”
"I said, it was originally in the trench, so they threw it directly into the trench to fish, that's why they caught so many..."
"Really got rich, luck is unstoppable, you can make money with your eyes closed, it's a good thing for Lao Pei... and he can also benefit from this..."
"Yeah, yeah... How can we find it so accurately without going into the water, and can we put the longline fishing line accurately into the trench..."
"It seems that we can't make this money... Alas..."
"I was thinking of coming here to ask if we can do it too? Now it seems that we can't do it, we can only wait for the jellyfish season..."
"The jellyfish season is here, they can't fish, right? There are jellyfish everywhere, and they can't go into the water, right?"
"Maybe, do you still have to go out to trawl at night?"
"Are there many jellyfish this year?"
Everyone was discussing there, and finally came to the conclusion that Chen Jianian and his people came today, and they would definitely go to the trench to check the situation tomorrow morning. The scattered jellyfish now are definitely not enough to share.
If everyone doesn't go trawling at night, and goes there to join in the fun early in the morning, there will definitely be few gains. It's better to go out and trawling for another day and take a look the day after tomorrow. At least the gains from trawling are real and don't have to be shared with others.
As for the hairtail that was discussed at the beginning, even if they are jealous, they can only give up unwillingly. Even the supplements Ye Yaodong made today are only enough to make two more. Everyone will delay for another day and go to buy materials tomorrow. It is estimated that they will have to start fishing for jellyfish the day after tomorrow.
What's more, even if they can make it, they don't have the ability to go into the water. Moreover, they just asked and found that they can't buy materials. They can't do anything. Even if others want to share a share, they can't make the money.
As they talked, they could only look forward to the jellyfish season with regret.
The next morning, when Ye Yaodong and his team set out, Chen Jianian and his team were indeed gathering at the dock to wait for others. There were also many local people around who pointed at them and talked about them.
He just went over to say hello, and then went ahead.
But not long after, the 20 or so boats behind him all set off, looking particularly neat and spectacular. It is rare to see so many fishing boats neatly entering and leaving in a small place.
After he and A Guang arrived, they divided up the scattered jellyfish floating on the sea. Because it was early in the morning, there were not many jellyfish floating, and it was not possible to estimate the situation today.
While the boatmen were dividing the jellyfish, the two of them put on their equipment in advance, did warm-up exercises, and immediately went into the water as soon as the boat stopped.
When Chen Jianian arrived, they also put down all the longline fishing.
Ye Yaodong stood on the deck, all wet, looking at the large group of fishing boats in front of him, listening to their whispers, and Chen Jianian couldn't help asking him why there seemed to be nothing here.
"Because it's not time yet, there are very few jellyfish floating up these two days. Our boats went out to trawl at night, so you can only see our two boats and two small boats here this morning. If there were more cargo here, you would see more than just our four boats."
"Since there is no cargo, what are you doing here?"
"Saving sea urchins!"
Chen Jianian also understood. He knew that they found sea urchins below last year. After catching all the jellyfish, everyone went out to look for them on the sea surface. They also salvaged here for several days.
After he nodded, he also explained to the fishing boats that came out. Although everyone was disappointed, they could still accept it when they saw that others did not get any advantage.
So after a while, most of the fishing boats disappeared. Ye Yaodong estimated that they should have gone to trawl, but there were still a few who were unwilling to give up and stayed on the nearby sea surface to find and see if they were salvaging sea urchins for real.
What made them even more amused was that after they pulled up several nets of sea urchins, some people actually jumped into the water to see how they fished for sea urchins and to try their luck.
However, the people who went down came up soon. Ye Yaodong watched coldly until those fishing boats finally left one after another at noon because they didn't catch much.
The boatman on the boat said, "Finally they left. They have been here all morning."
"Aren't they afraid that we will cheat them? Let's see how many jellyfish can float up in half a day."
"Since we are here, we must stay a little longer to see the situation. After all, they just came yesterday."
"It's better to leave. It's noon now. Should we also collect those longline fishing lines? Dong?"
"It's about the same time. Let's collect them."
Yesterday we collected them at about noon. Today there are two more lines. It will probably take more time.
When Guang saw him start collecting, he also followed suit.
Today, Guang and his crew only brought out a new trawler as usual, and the Harvest was still parked there.
Ye Yaodong didn't understand when he set out this morning. They clearly said yesterday that the ship had no fish warehouse, and the goods were all drying on the deck. There were also jellyfish and baskets of longline fishing, and there was almost no place to put their feet, but they still didn't bring the boat out today.
But now, when he saw them happily harvesting, he understood.
If they were to sail the Harvest to harvest, the fish they harvested would naturally be counted as part of the Harvest's profits, and half would be divided out. However, the fish they caught with their own boats would naturally belong to them, and there was no need to divide them.
He didn't have a clever mind, and didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, so he just realized it now.
But it's human nature to think about it. Who doesn't want to make more money?
Even he brought two more boats out today to have people salvage the jellyfish that emerged from the sea. This move was also to compete with them for goods.
And A Guang also helped him to go into the water to salvage. Although he had enough manpower and didn't need it, it was also a kind gesture, and he also wanted to go into the water to take a look at the situation below.
After figuring it out, he retracted his gaze and only looked at his own harvest.
In the afternoon, a few more boats brought by Chen Jianian came over one after another, but they still saw an empty sea with only four boats of different sizes.
But they also saw two boats collecting hairtails, with their fishing lines full of them. A Guang's boat was also full of hairtails. They couldn't hide their stunned and envious expressions. They all came over to watch them collect the goods and asked questions.
Seeing everything, Ye Yaodong sighed in his heart and told them honestly that there was a school of hairtails below.
These people also knew that the hairtails that were sold for thousands of yuan at the dock yesterday evening were also caught here.
While they were watching, some boats from both sides also came back, and everyone came around to see the situation as soon as possible.
Ye's father also came back.
"Have these boats been here all day today?"
"No, they came out later than us in the morning, and then some boats stayed here until noon before leaving. Now they probably want to come and check the situation before going back."
"Then we won't go trawling tomorrow, just stay here, lest you catch too many here and make people jealous."
"Well, I don't think we can fish for two days, there are quite a lot of jellyfish today..."
Because he brought two small wooden boats out to fish for jellyfish, and after A Guang and his team started collecting hairtail, they no longer cared about the goods on the sea, all of which were cheap for him.
Maybe it was because they collected more and more hairtail, and the deck was piled up more and more. They also had 10 longline fishing today, and they replenished half of them last night, which was two less than him.
All the fishing boats that came back one after another did not leave immediately after seeing them collecting hairtail there. Everyone was very curious and shocked. They could collect so much with one fishing line. After seeing it with their own eyes, they realized that selling it for thousands of yuan was not a lie.
What's more, someone jumped into the water and was even more shocked after getting into the water. When they came out, they told everyone that the entire line under the water was full of hooks. They had never seen such a high rate of full hooks.
Everyone couldn't see Ye Yaodong's total harvest because he carried his basket to the fish warehouse after it was full. They could only see the deck piled up on Guang's side.
After Ye's father came back, Ye Yaodong also asked him to help collect other longline fishing at the same time. The two boats collected at the same time, which would be faster.
Everyone was still not satisfied until all the longline fishing was collected.
"Finished? No more?"
"So many, a whole boat is full, can we sell it for thousands?"
"Originally, we came out to make money by catching jellyfish, but we didn't make any money from jellyfish, and we only make money from hairtail..."
"That's right, that's right, can we also make a few lines and throw them down tomorrow to try our luck..."
"I'm afraid we won't have that luck, the sea is quite wide, who knows how wide and long the trench is, we can't see anything when we first go into the water, and we can't go too deep, so we can only come up..."
Ye Yaodong finished collecting before A Guang, and there were more than a dozen fishing boats around them watching, and he was always paying attention.
Ignoring the discussions of other fishing boats around him, he moved the boat towards A Guang.
"I've finished collecting here, are you almost there?"
"I'll be there soon, wait for me to go back together, it's already 3 o'clock, why don't you catch some more sea urchins? It's still early for the sun to set."
"No, I'll go back early to sell the hairtail first and remit the money back before the bank closes."
Looking at so many fishing boats on the sea watching here, there will be more as the sun sets, Ye Yaodong doesn't want to stay here to catch sea urchins anymore, so he takes these hairtails back and sells them first.
At this time, there are fewer local fishing boats docked, and there are not so many people at the dock, so go back and sell them early.
Ye's father also thought so, there are too many, so many people are watching, it's better to go back early to sell them and remit the money back.
"With so many people watching, I don't know if it will be easy tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong comforted him, "We have a lot of people, so we are not afraid. Besides, everyone is waiting for the jellyfish season to make a lot of money. Now they are just jealous."
"That's true. With the big money from jellyfish hanging there, they can only watch and envy, and dare not think of anything bad."
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's go back early. We've already caught so much. Dad, go and drag those small boats over and tie them to the back of my boat. I'll use this boat to pull faster."
"Okay."
A Guang also urged the people on the boat to reel in the catch faster.
"I only have one line left. There are too many, so I'm a little slow to reel in. It will be done soon."
They were all busy finishing up there.
After they were done, when they all started to move, the other fishing boats followed them back as they saw there was nothing to see.
When they docked, it was only 4 o'clock. The sun was still shining brightly. Some small boats along the coast were still floating on the sea.
However, when they moved all the catches ashore one after another, they caused a sensation again. Fortunately, it was too hot at this time, and there were few locals on the shore. The sensation was basically caused by them, a group of outsiders.
There were too many, and the small purchasing point had to scrape together money to barely be able to take in so many of his goods. Fortunately, he did not sell the goods to the same family as Pei's father yesterday, otherwise, one store really could not take in so many.
Today, with two more longline fishing rods, he caught more goods. After weighing, there were 7310 kilograms, and 540 kilograms of those that were not in good condition. Although there were fewer sea urchins, there were still 3912 kilograms.
He kept 100 kilograms of those that were not in good condition, and sold the rest.
The sea urchins sold for 782.4, and the hairtail sold for a total of 3765.
After counting all the money, a total of 45.4, he put it in the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, held it tightly in his hand, and held it in his arms.
A lot of people outside stretched their necks to look inside, wanting to know how much he sold, and surrounded him noisily.
He ignored them and asked them to move aside, because they still had to weigh the trawl goods and jellyfish.
These goods were less, and they could be weighed faster. The trawl nets were sold for 35.68 yuan. The jellyfish caught in the afternoon were sold for 75.77 yuan.
After collecting this part of the money, he went to A Guang surrounded by dozens of boatmen. They had sold out first and were also walking towards him.
After dozens of people gathered, they went to the rental house in a mighty manner.
The people around saw that no one dared to approach, and they only dared to whisper to the side, asking how they fished and how they could catch so many hairtails for two consecutive days.
Father Ye's heart was relieved, and he said while walking quickly: "Fortunately, we have more people..."
Father Pei also nodded and said: "Yes, if there were only two or three people, there might be chaos."
"The place is too small, and there are too many goods. If it is placed in the city or the province, where large ships often dock at the port, it will not be a big deal."
"Hold on for another day or two."
"Dongzi, are there still many underneath?"
"Today, there are some empty black gaps. I don't know what will happen tomorrow."
"It's not easy to make money under everyone's noses..."
Ye Yaodong looked at The rented house in front of them said to everyone, "I'm going to the post office to remit money later. You can all go together. By the way, call home to report that you are safe. The phone bill will be on me. I will go back to get the money and leave."
"That's good. It's been three or four days since I came here, and I haven't called home yet."
"Then we'll wait at the door."
A Guang also said, "Dongzi, wait for me."
"Okay."
While waiting, Ye Yaodong divided half of the 100 kilograms of hairtail that he had saved with the villagers, and took another 40 kilograms to send to Chen Jianian. He still had to do some face-saving.
Keeping 10 kilograms for himself was enough to eat, after all, there were other fish left.
They just came back and went out again. There was a huge group of people coming in and out, and they were particularly eye-catching on the road.
When they entered the post office, the people in the bank were nervous. They all stood up and looked at them vigilantly until Ye Yaodong put a bag of money on the counter and said that he wanted to transfer money by wire. Then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
A large group of people had no place to sit, so they all sat on the ground and lined up to make phone calls.
Such a large group of people rushed in, almost scaring people to death, and the attitude of the bank staff became extremely good.
Ye Yaodong looked at the staff opposite him, his hands were shaking a little, and his face was smiling. Everyone was still wearing hats. If they took off their hats collectively, wouldn’t they be scared to pee on the spot?
Fortunately, everyone knew that their bald heads would scare people, so they wore straw hats when going in and out.
After the remittance was completed, he also ran to the side to call A Qing to inform him.
He earned more than 4,600 today, more than 5,300 yesterday and the day before yesterday, and more than 9,900 in three days. He added more than ten yuan to make up 10,000 yuan.
When he set out, A Qing also gave him 1,000 yuan for expenses when he didn’t make money. In addition to renting a house, he didn’t have to spend money on food and drink, and he brought everything with him.
He has been making money since he came here, and now it’s enough to keep a few hundred yuan on him. Anyway, he can always make money in the future.
Based on the principle that he was the one paying, it would be a waste not to call, so everyone waited there and called one by one until the bank was about to close. Those who didn't get their turn had to leave with regret.
However, Ye Yaodong also promised that when the money was transferred in a few days, those who did not call today would be given priority, and he would reimburse them all anyway, so everyone came out of the post office with a smile on their faces.
He felt relieved that he had no money left, and everyone went home to eat easily.
However, when they returned to the rental house, they heard from others that some villagers had also bought materials and were also doing longline fishing there, but the number was not large.
Ye Yaodong did not care, one step late, every step late, and it would be in vain if he did it now.
He himself was not sure if there would be any tomorrow, after all, the number of jellyfish that floated up today was not small, and it doubled compared to the day before, especially in the afternoon, the frequency of floating up was higher, so he could see that the school of hairtails below was not so dense, and the trench was exposed.
"Don't worry, whoever wants to follow the trend can follow it, it doesn't matter."
"Dongzi, just leave two people here tomorrow, and let's take the others out to sea early tomorrow morning."
"Well, I know, let's take a shower and eat first, we still have to work after eating."
While they were eating, Chen Jianian came over again to reminisce about the past. In fact, he came to ask where he bought his equipment, and said that they ran all over the town before dark but couldn't find it.
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
"Don't think about it, our Adong got his equipment because of connections, you can't buy it outside."
"Yeah, didn't you see that only Adong has it here, and the officials he knows are very powerful."
"Yes, he is very familiar with the leaders..."
The boatmen all boasted to him in various ways, which made Chen Jianian and the visitor stunned.
Ye Yaodong listened to everyone's flattery and was embarrassed. He could only keep silent and take a shower quickly, letting everyone brag.
Anyway, when he was out, his identity was given by himself. Now someone helped him to brag about it, and it was better if he could brag about it more...
When he came out of the shower, Chen Jianian was gone, and all the villagers gathered around him to chat, just like the previous two nights. The locals thought they were holding a meeting at the door.
Ye Yaodong ignored other people's discussions and just enjoyed the cool air.
After the longline fishing was sorted out and put into the house, he also went back to the house to sleep.
But what he didn't expect was that the next day, the whole town was rumored that they had official backgrounds...
