Chapter 1223 Immediate Harvest

"Adong is so filial..."

"Yes, when we open a company in the future, we have to write his father's name and let his father be the representative. This is incredible."

"Yes, as a representative, do you have to attend meetings frequently? Can you see some leaders? Isn't it better than being in the newspaper?"

The boatmen who passed by them carrying goods all laughed and said a few words.

"This legal person feels extraordinary when I hear it. Old Ye is old and enjoying his life..."

"Congratulations, Adong has made a lot of progress. He still thinks about you when he is doing business. He is so filial..."

Ye Yaodong originally just said it jokingly. He knew that his father didn't know what the legal person did, so he deliberately teased his father.

Unexpectedly, everyone took it seriously. They didn't know what the legal person did, but they kept complimenting his father.

He laughed so hard that his cheeks hurt and his stomach hurt, but he didn't dare to bend down. He was too much.

If this legal person is not careful, it is easy to skip the commercial grain, get the public grain, and eat the official food.

There are not only people to serve and accompany them, but also people to accompany them. There is no need to worry about accidents. There is also a medical team to give the elderly regular physical examinations, so they can directly embark on a happy life of retirement, without having to follow him to sea to take risks.

I just don’t know if his father will be directly angry to death after knowing it.

Ye’s father just listened to everyone’s flattery and said a few humble words. Seeing him laughing, he was a little puzzled.

“What are you laughing at, Dongzi? Why are you laughing like this?”

“Nothing, I just think that the policy will be relaxed in a few years.”

“It’s good that the policy is relaxed. Only when it is relaxed can everyone live a good life.”

Ye Yaodong looked at his father’s beaming face and couldn’t help laughing again. He quickly changed the subject, “Is the harvest these days okay?”

“It’s okay. I sold a trip of goods to a fresh-collecting ship at sea. The bill of lading and the money are here.”

Ye’s father took out his pocket, looked around, avoided people, and pulled open his coat to cover it before handing it to him.

"Put it away. You've rested enough these two days. When we go to the market later, I won't sell goods to you. I'll go to the factory to rest."

"Well, you can just rest. I'll ask two others to help me move and lift. Anyway, there are many people. It doesn't matter if they don't come to collect goods. Anyway, they should be familiar with each other at the dock."

"Okay... I'm this old now. I'm pretty prosperous now. Who in the village doesn't envy me for raising a few good children. I know you're filial. Anyway, your Shunfeng ship has also allocated a share to me, which is enough for retirement. If you want to do business, just write your own name, don't think about me, otherwise, if something happens, the property will be unclear. You brothers are fine, but your sister-in-law and others will be nagging."

Ye Yaodong originally heard his father talking about it again, and thought he was looking forward to his future and how many people would envy him. Unexpectedly, he turned around and talked about this.

His original laughing expression was also put away, and he didn't tease his father anymore.

"Got it." I was just joking.

However, it is good to make his father so happy. As long as he does not know what the legal person does, he will be so happy all the time.

After saying this, Ye's father was also very pleased, and then he continued to help move the goods.

A Guang came over, "You are really good. You can make our father so happy with just a few words."

He did not know what Dongzi was talking about, but he knew it after listening to the workers' chat.

"How about I let you be the legal representative?"

A Guang's eyes widened, "Really? Then I won't be polite?"

"Don't be polite."

"Forget it, I don't feel comfortable."

"Don't feel comfortable, we are friends."

A Guang patted his shoulder, "Good brother, I know it's worth knowing you in this life."

"Of course."

"You gave me a sister, and you are going to give me a company."

Ye Yaodong's smile was immediately put away, "When I register a company in two years, I will definitely write you as the legal representative."

"It's okay if you have this intention, hurry up and move the goods, it's already dark."

After saying that, A Guang also happily moved the goods, leaving Ye Yaodong staring at his back with a grudge, silently cursing in his heart.

Some of the goods are to be kept back to dry fish, which are not suitable for unloading. They are put back in the fish warehouse and pulled back tomorrow, which also saves them a fare. They don't need to be pulled to the city, and they don't need to pay a commission to the market.

After moving the goods, Ye Yaodong also gave them the invoices of their goods from the previous few days for them to check.

Anyway, they will also sell goods in the market later, and they can also know the market price, and they can all know whether the price he gave is reasonable.

"If there is no problem, I will settle the bill for you directly after selling the goods. If you are in a hurry, you can settle it now, but I am afraid that there are too many people in and out of the market, and it is not safe to carry it on your body..."

"Don't worry, it's still in time to settle it when you get home."

"Yes, we are not strangers, so how can we not trust it? Don't be so anxious."

"There is still a batch of goods left on the boat for you, and we can settle it together when the time comes. Now we don't need to settle it outside, so as to save trouble."

Seeing that they had no objection, Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, then sell the goods first and settle it when we get home."

He was also busy with the city affairs. After selling the goods, he drove the boat back to the village directly, and took the people who were taking a break in the workshop back with him.

At the same time, he also took the cigarettes he got back home, and he didn't put them anywhere else but at home.

But he didn't expect that when he got home, there would be a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in the house.

Lin Xiuqing handed the workshop work to Pei Dongqing and followed Ye Yaodong's arrangements. She had many questions that she had been holding back for several days.

"Didn't you say that Linji's cousin was arrested at sea? Why didn't anyone come down to seal their house these two days? I also paid special attention to the movements of their Xishan Village these two days, and there was no gossip."

Ye Yaodong lifted the basket of cigarettes with her with one hand, and with the other hand, he stretched out his index finger and made a hushing gesture on his mouth.

"Let's talk about it when we get home, so no one will hear us. Now we're the only ones who know about this, so we can't tell anyone."

"I didn't tell anyone."

"Yeah."

"His wife brought several packs of cigarettes and several bottles of wine over a couple of days ago, all in foreign languages, and I don't know what they were. I didn't want to take them, but she pushed them in. I was afraid the neighbors would hear it, so I didn't dare to push it around, so I took it and hid it."

Ye Yaodong paused and continued to walk forward, "Did they send it over secretly?"

"Yes, they brought it over when it got dark, and they even covered the basket with a cloth."

"Oh, that's fine, just take it, a small token of your gratitude for notifying us in advance . "

"It's all in foreign language, is it bad?"

"No, don't forget, most of our relatives are overseas Chinese, it's normal to have more foreign cigarettes and foreign wine at home."

"Oh, then I feel relieved, I thought these things can't be seen by others."

"It can't be seen by others when you bring it here, but it's okay when it's in our house."

"Will they be arrested too?"

"I don't know, don't worry about it, it's none of our business, we are just from the same village, so we only informed Lin Jishang after seeing it, after all, they are relatives, we don't know anything else, that's it."

He said this once on the phone, and now he said it again solemnly.

"Then I'll pretend I don't know anything."

"Yeah."

The two walked into the house, put the basket they were carrying on the ground, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't wait to lift the clothes covering it.

When she just took it down from the car, she wanted to lift the clothes to see what it was, but Ye Yaodong stopped her and said that she could only lift it when she got home.

She has been patient until now and asked other things first.

Ye Yaodong also closed the door when she opened her clothes.

"Then this basket of yours..." Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened and her mouth opened.

"Could it be that all of these were sent to you by Linji? So many? Could these all be dirty things?"

"In other words, this is called ownerless things, they were not sent by him. Didn't the two ships sink to the bottom of the sea? There must be a few boxes of goods that were swallowed and spit out by whales, so they floated up. We were in that area at the time, so we fished them up."

"How come you... have so much windfall..."

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "I also want to know, alas, I always encounter all kinds of things, maybe these windfalls are my compensation."

"Put this away first, there are too many." She fiddled with it casually, all of them were in foreign languages, and none of them were recognized.

"If you go to Vancouver next time, bring a few as gifts to Fang Jingfu. This is a rare item. Foreign exchange coupons are hard to come by."

"You should give two to your godfather."

"I stayed in the city for the past two days and gave him another can. I didn't dare to give more. I'll give him two more when I pass by the city on my next trip to the provincial capital."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him in surprise, "Why go to the provincial capital?"

Ye Yaodong also talked about the things he had done during his stay in the city.

"I thought you went out to sea after hanging up the phone. You haven't come back for so many days. You have been in the city."

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't been in charge of the city's affairs. I'll leave it to them to deal with it. I'll stay there for a few days and manage it. I can't leave everything to others. I don't know it myself. I've done a lot of things in the past few days."

"I'll put these cigarettes away first. Your clothes are wet and you can cover them with them. Aren't you afraid that the cigarettes will get damp..."

"There's plastic film."

"It will get damp too. Fortunately, just cover it. You have to put it away well. How much does this pack of cigarettes cost?"

"A pack is probably several yuan, or more than ten yuan, and a pack may cost a hundred yuan."

The cigarettes in Lin Xiuqing's arms tightened, and he looked down, "It's so expensive. ! The normal cigarettes here are only one or two cents a pack, the cheap ones are a few cents, and the expensive ones are at most one dollar. This pack costs several dollars? "

"These foreign things are expensive, but there are still people who buy them. They really have money but nowhere to spend it. What kind of people are the consumers of those Friendship Stores..."

"The gap between people is too big, how many people still can't eat enough, and can't earn one or two dollars a day, but some people can still go to the Friendship Store to spend money. Last time I saw the dolls your daughter played with, since they cost more than 100 yuan..."

"It's really... People are so annoying when they compare themselves to others... The rich are so rich, and the poor can't even afford to eat..."

Lin Xiuqing muttered while sorting. Although she had money in her hand, the value of these cigarettes also brought her a wave of shock.

"If your cigarettes cost a hundred yuan, there are dozens of them here, which must be thousands or tens of thousands of yuan? How much cargo must there be on that ship, boom..."

She muttered, and suddenly realized this, and couldn't help being shocked.

Ye Yaodong was getting himself some water to take a shower, and said casually, "It doesn't have to be a whole ship full of cigarettes. If it were, that would be too much. Even smuggling cars isn't that serious."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's true. Did you scare me? Are there still smuggled cars?"

"There are many."

"These people are so bold and dare to do anything."

…

The couple locked themselves in the room chattering, sorting out the cigarettes that Ye Yaodong brought back. The door to the house was closed tightly, and the old lady did not dare to come in.

Ye Xiaoxi played outside for a while, running and jumping about trying to go home, but she continued to take him out to play.

It wasn't until the door of the house was reopened that the old man and the young man returned home.

"It smells so good, I'm hungry..."

Ye Yaodong was also eating noodle soup, and there was a steaming bowl of noodles on the table.

"You came back because of the smell, right?"

The old lady smiled and said, "She spends the whole day jumping around and running around, which also consumes her energy."

Lin Xiuqing took off her apron and said, "That bowl belongs to daddy. Don't give it to her. She won't be hungry. She's just greedy. She's greedy because of the smell. I'll go to the workshop to see how they weigh the goods. , by the way, call dad back to eat."

Ye Yaodong held Ye Xiaoxi on his lap and fed her a few mouthfuls. However, the old lady was worried that Dongzi had eaten less, so she coaxed Ye Xiaoxi down and took her to buy sweets.

How could Ye Xiaoxi refuse? As soon as he heard about buying candies, he immediately climbed down and took the old lady's hand to go to the store.

He ate the noodles in the bowl quickly, and just as his father came over after eating, he told his father to take a look at the house first, and he would also go to the workshop to take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the workshop, Lin Xiuqing asked him what the legal person was?

"You haven't finished drinking the ecstasy soup yet? Let me tell you, my dad was almost floating when he walked just now."

"Everyone praises you for your filial piety, saying that you are getting better and better, that you are rich, and that dad is number one in his heart. So what a legal person is, they have everything they say."

Ye Yaodong just coughed, and then whispered to her: "I casually teased dad on the dock yesterday and said something. I didn't expect it to spread widely. I said it again when I came back."

"So what is a legal person?"

"If something happens to the company, the legal person will take the blame. Ahem, they are right to say that it is the representative of the company. Anyway, if something happens, it is the legal person who will be held accountable..."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him in disbelief and wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know how.

"Uh... don't let dad know, or he'll be mad to death."

"I just said it casually."

"Dad was already very upset after being arrested twice. Are you still joking about this?"

Ye Yaodong touched his nose and said, "As long as I abide by the law, my father will still be a glorious legal person."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him and slapped him, "Not serious."

"When the goods here are weighed, you can settle the account with them."

"I know, this is not just waiting for the scales to be weighed and the receipts obtained before I can settle the accounts and pay them together."

There were a lot of men in the workshop moving back and forth.

When the women in the village heard that the fishing boat was back, they all spontaneously came over with their knives and cutting boards. They didn't even need Lin Xiuqing to come to call for help. They were all already done.

And next to him came Uncle Ye, which surprised Ye Yaodong.

Because the goods had just come back, there was a lot of people coming in and out, and everyone was very busy, so no one was standing at the door to stop them.

Uncle Ye walked directly to Ye Yaodong to say hello, and he realized it.

"Haha, you're back? It's been a great harvest. You've got so much stuff to bring back home. You just need to go out to sea and you'll make a lot of money, right?"

"In general, the expenses are high, the labor and oil costs are not a small amount, and I bought these goods from their ship. They all cost money."

"The money shared during the Qingming Festival has not been given to you yet. After we got Comrade Yaohai's number, we got together to discuss it and forgot about it until the next day. When I thought about it, I heard that you had gone to sea. I Ask your sons to leave the money with me first and deliver it to you when you come back."

Ye Yaodong watched him count the money one by one, and then handed it over, and he took it without politeness.

"It's been so many days. I wonder if you still remember that I'm not at home, isn't Aqing at home? It's the same if you give it to her directly."

"Didn't you say you would give it to your father? Your father also went to sea, so I thought I would give it to you when you come back."

Ye Yaodong responded perfunctorily. Seeing his father coming, he waved to his father, and then gave the money his second uncle gave him directly to his father.

Father Ye smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He felt that his fortune had been a bit prosperous recently.

Sure enough, I still have to follow Dongzi.

In the first two months, I followed the boss and the second child. Apart from the salary, there was not much else.

"I thought you forgot."

"This is money to pay homage to our ancestors, how could we forget it."

Father Ye didn't count the money, he just scratched the edge, folded it and put it in his pocket.

"I haven't been at home these days, so I don't know how things are going with you? Can you contact Lao Hai?"

Uncle Ye waited for him to ask this question, "I didn't contact him in the first two days, but I was so anxious. I thought I couldn't find anyone, so I waited two or three days before I contacted him."

"It's Qingming Festival. People go home to worship their ancestors, so it's normal to stay at home for two more days."

"Yes, that's what I said. After I got in touch, I told him that I wanted to send my two grandchildren abroad. I told them their ages, and he told me to make arrangements first and let me raise the money first. That's all. I said.

"Oh, just wait for the notification."

"Oh, this is a huge sum of money. You know, although my sons followed Dongzi to Wenzhou last year, they didn't make much money..."

Ye Yaodong said: "This is easy. Let the cousins ​​help each other to pay a little. The sisters-in-law's families can also go back and talk about it. How can the uncle's family not contribute money? Second uncle's coffin fund should not be much different."

"My own child is going abroad. How can the uncles and aunts not help to collect a little? Sending one person out should only cost a few thousand yuan, right? There are so many families. Each family can collect 500 yuan. My family can pay a little more. It won't be a big deal, right?"

Second uncle Ye was choked and had to say to Ye's father: "Not everyone's life is so easy. If you don't just pay 500 yuan, you have to consider the difficulties of other families."

Ye's father asked curiously: "How much does it cost to send someone out?"

"Comrade Yaohai said It costs 6,000 yuan to send someone out, and there is no guarantee of success. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy and they will be arranged to work. We are just taking a gamble. "

"Ah, 6,000 yuan, and the two children will be 12,000 yuan, which is not a small amount. 6,000 yuan for a family, the family is completely empty, and we have to borrow a lot."

"Who said it is not... Well, if the family of relatives is doing well, they are willing to help a little. If the life is not good, there is nothing we can do."

"That's right..."

Lin Xiuqing pulled Ye Yaodong forward, "We are almost done weighing the goods, let's take a look at the list."

"Yeah."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about his father. After all, he was his father's brother, so he let his father talk to his brother himself. He still had things to do.

Ye Erbo saw that they were really busy just after returning, so he pulled Ye's father to talk and complain.

Ye's father couldn't save his face, so he had to listen to him and then agree with him.

After Lin Xiuqing and the others left behind, he said to Ye Yaodong: "What Uncle Er just said was that people with better conditions should contribute some money to help. Really, don't you see how busy we are now? Just after returning, she rushed over, fearing that you would go out to sea again and not be able to meet anyone."

"Has she been to your house these two days?"

"Yes, Aunt Er came to your house twice, once to our house and once to my eldest and second sisters-in-law. I told them directly that you were not at home and I had to wait for you to come back to discuss it with you. My eldest and second sisters-in-law directly said that they had no money, saying that they had just got the boat before the New Year, and they spent a lot of money, and they still owed debts, and the boat had not started to make money yet, so they could not help."

"Oh."

Ye Yaodong thought it would be okay to go home and discuss it later.

This is actually not a difficult matter, nor is it a matter of money. Giving 500 yuan a family is really nothing to him, and it is not 5,000 yuan, and he has to bear the bulk of it.

Just like other people, giving a little bit of money is acceptable as a way to help his nephew.

The second uncle is shameless, the cousins ​​are unreliable, and they can't affect the next generation.

After all, the money will be spent on the nephews.

He is willing to spend it on the children, even if they are smuggled abroad.

All relatives and friends have helped, there is no reason for him not to support them since he is so rich. There is no big conflict between the two families, and they don't have any contact.

Rural people still live in the same village. There are some frictions and conflicts among their families, but they are not so indifferent.

Even if he wants to lend money, his mother will nag for a long time. At that time, his parents had already had a quarrel when there was just a sign.

He is very busy now and has no time to talk to his second uncle about this matter. Let's leave it to his father to deal with it first, and ask his father later.

"Mom kept telling me not to lend money, so I can only wait for you to come back. I thought that if other relatives also took money, then we should pay a little bit, after all, everyone knows that we have money. Second uncle's family is not the first uncle's family, and we have offended everyone."

"Let's talk about it after we are done, and see if Dongqing has finished the calculation."

"Yeah."

Mother Ye should be at work at this time and didn't come, otherwise Second Uncle Ye wouldn't have dragged Father Ye to talk for a long time.

When Ye Yaodong and his wife went home to settle the accounts, his father was still tripped by Second Uncle Ye.

Who let him be his brother, he should bear it.

The couple went home to work first, and didn't care about his father.

After they settled the accounts, they sent the money to each family.

Except for Brother Zhou's, he has shares in the other ships, but they all settle the accounts at the end of the month. Now, how much money is sold each time, how much money should be settled, and the dividends will be calculated together at the end of the month.

Although Ye Yaodong stayed in the city and did not go out to sea, he did stay up all night to sell goods.

After finishing his work, he went to bed directly. The boatman did the finishing work, and Aqing did the supervision work.

He woke up in the middle of the night. It was pitch black outside. After waking up for a while, he continued to close his eyes until the next morning.

But the next morning, before he had time to ask his father what his second uncle said yesterday, Secretary Chen hurried over to find him and said that the kelp might be harvested soon, and asked him to go and take a look.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy when he heard it, and he quickly followed Secretary Chen and ran out, asking about the situation while running.

Secretary Chen also had a happy face.

"Two workers said that we can harvest them in the next two days. The leaves are already very big. It's a good time to harvest them and dry them for a few days while the weather is warming up. We can get white pulp."

"I heard that you came back yesterday. You must be very busy when you just came back, so we came to tell you early this morning."

"If you didn't come back in the past two days, we probably decided to harvest them and dry them first. When you come back, you can come and see them."

"The two workers also said that the water flow here is quite suitable. The yield this year is quite good and should be able to sell for a good price. The work for half a year has not been in vain."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "I will go out to sea to take a look. After the look, I will make a phone call to ask about the price. I have been busy for half a year, waiting for this moment."

"Yes, I am looking forward to the harvest moment. When the villagers meet me on the road, they have to ask me when the kelp will be harvested. Everyone is looking forward to the harvest."

"This is the first step for our whole village to become rich. After the harvest, we can plant together in the second half of the year. First learn how to plant. If you want to participate, one person from each family can participate. It's just right to share the risk. Next year, when everyone knows how to plant, they can plant as a family unit. "

"That's right, you go out to sea first. Although the two workers said it's ready to harvest, I still want to hear your opinion. There's no one in the whole village who is more knowledgeable than you."

"No, if you want to talk about experience, it's the two workers we hired."

"You were the one who proposed breeding, and you also gave instructions several times. Let's go and have a look first."

Ye Yaodong followed Secretary Chen to the dock while talking, and drove the No. 7 boat he kept out to the sea to the breeding base, which was just along the coast, not far away.

But after watching, he still suggested staying for another three to five days.

Looking at the size of the leaves, although it is not as good as the ones after optimization in the previous life, it is much better than the wild ones growing on the reefs.

He asked the two workers to adjust the position and height of the fixture to prevent the kelp from being too dense and affecting the supply of light and nutrients.

He also asked them to remove the floating mud and algae on the fixture to prevent the kelp from being polluted or suffocated.

With some management, it can grow longer.

Now it is almost time to harvest, and the growth is changing every day. If you keep it for one more day, it can grow a little longer.

If there is no disease, you don’t have to worry about it rotting for one more day, and there will be no typhoons in this season.

Ye Yaodong’s suggestion was adopted by the other two hired workers, and they also felt that it would be okay to adjust and keep it for another three or five days.

When they returned, Secretary Chen said, "Then you will go directly to the village committee with me later and call to ask about the price?"

"Why are you in a hurry? It will take three or five days to harvest the goods, and it will take several days to dry them. The price of this kind of harvest also changes day by day. The price is a little higher when it is just shipped, and it will definitely drop when the quantity increases. If you ask in advance and it is not accurate at that time, won’t you feel disappointed?"

Thinking that he deliberately lowered the price, saying one price when he said it, and another price when he harvested it.

"That's right, then wait and ask again when you collect it."

"Yeah."

He thought that he would call and ask again later, and ask again when he harvested it, to see if the price changed much.

I have to calculate how much the purchase price is.

Last year, he bought one catty for 6 cents, and he could sell it to Mr. Zhou for 1.5 cents.

There are fewer goods these days, so the price fluctuation should not be big.

I just don’t know how many catties per mu can be produced?

There are 400 ropes hanging in each mu of kelp cultivation area, and each rope is clamped with more than 120 kelp. He just picked up the rope and estimated that each rope is expected to weigh more than 100 catties. Well... this is with water.

We have to wait until the harvest to know the details, but he looks very good. If he grows for a few more days, he should be able to harvest eight to nine tons or ten tons per mu.

In the past life, one mu of high-quality kelp could yield more than 20 tons or even 30 tons.

Now we can’t compare technology, but we can compare water quality and weather.

At least the sea area is not polluted now.

After Ye Yaodong and others got ashore, they parted ways with Secretary Chen, thinking about how much kelp they could harvest from this batch.

Because it is just an experimental field, there are not many people raising crops, only 30 mu.

According to the labor force of an average family, it is normal for a family to raise more than ten mu, and raising 30 mu for experiment is not much.

When the whole village is raising crops, tens of thousands of mu will not be a problem.

When the whole village masters this breeding technology, it will not be a problem to feed a village and drive the development of a village.

"Dad..."

Ye Yaodong was thinking with his head down, listening to the child's call, and looked up, and all his children were in the cherry forest near the Tianhou Temple.

Yes, it has become a cherry forest of some scale.

Three years ago, the cherries planted by a group of his children have grown into small trees, and now they have produced a few scattered fruits.

These children have run out to take care of their saplings in recent years.

It's just that they are still very green now, and they ran out eagerly.

"What are you all doing here? Have you eaten? This is still green, not ripe yet, can't be eaten."

Ye Chenghai said: "We just finished eating, and it's not time for school yet, so we came out to check, and we found someone stealing it."

"Those shameless, uneaten bastards don't care whether it's not ripe or not, they will definitely come to steal it, we have to watch!" Ye Chenghe cursed.

Ye Chengjiang also said: "We saw someone stealing our cherries yesterday, and we just beat them up."

The child was really greedy, and didn't care whether the fruit was ripe or not. Ye Yaodong also knew it.

"It just so happened that your grandfather came back yesterday. Go ask him to get some nets and put up some fences to make sure no one can steal it."

"Okay, then I'll call him over right away."

"By the way, ask him to make two scarecrows, so that even birds won't steal it."

They were all excited, "That's great."

After growing it for three years, I will soon be able to taste the fruits of my labor.

I have been looking up information about kelp, calculating data, and looking up the previous prices of kelp. It's a headache, and it slows down my typing speed. I have only written 8200 words. I will work harder tomorrow.
