Chapter 1228 Encouraging Ah Cai

The villagers were very happy.

In the past two months, when the kelp was growing well, the men in the village had been paying attention to it. This was a matter of whether the whole village could achieve a well-off life.

Those who own boats and go out to sea every day will habitually visit the breeding base and occasionally lend a hand to help with some work.

Although these are not raised by everyone, they are grown up by everyone.

The money sold in this wave of sales in the evening could not reach everyone's pockets, but it also brought infinite joy to everyone. This is hope.

I also heard exactly what the village cadres said about sharing the risks equally. The village committee will also use the money earned this year to advance funds. Everyone just needs to contribute labor according to the work-point system. Who is not willing?

Everyone was excited and responded quickly, eager to follow suit now.

The village chief continued to smile and said: "A Dong proposed this kelp cultivation. Everyone has to thank him. He also provides the market. As long as we can grow it, we don't have to worry about anything else. It all depends on him."

"Otherwise, the yield per mu can be several tons. Just these 30 acres of land can produce hundreds of tons. Even if it is dried, there are still dozens of tons. Who can afford this quantity and who has the ability to sell it? They all have to die. In the sea, it’s either feeding the pigs, now everyone has to rely on him and give him credit.”

"Everyone knows that he is now wealthy, but he has not forgotten the collective even after he became personally wealthy. Now, everything he develops and does in the village is for the collective."

"Otherwise, he is developing well in other places and has the support of leaders. Why doesn't he move everything in the village outside? Isn't the city better than our small fishing village?"

"There are people in the village who don't like other people's kindness. They like to say mean things behind others' backs and are jealous of others. But as human beings, we must not forget our roots. We must unite when we should be united."

"Unity is strength. Individualism is necessary and unity can move forward. Everything is for the collective. We all in the village must unite to protect the collective interests and maintain the collective unity. I believe that we will not be far away from achieving collective prosperity. ”

The village chief improvised and spoke impassionedly. The villagers all fell silent and listened attentively. After he finished speaking, they applauded fiercely and applauded very much.

"Okay, the village chief is right, our village must unite."

"We also want to thank A Dong. He took everyone to Zhejiang Province to make a fortune, gave many people work, and now he has begun to mobilize the collective..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but admire in his heart, how could he be the village chief? You just have to be able to talk and have the ability to incite the masses. People who listen are excited, as if they can reach out and grab the money.

He felt particularly comfortable after hearing this. Everyone likes to be praised and praised.

"Thank you. I grew up in this village, and many of my uncles watched me grow up. Although sometimes I am a little out of tune, I am also a member of the collective, and I definitely want our village to get better and better. "

"Haha, it's a little late after today's work. Everyone, please go home and have dinner. If you still want to come over and check the scale tomorrow, come back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, you can also bring over the kelp you dried at home, but it must be more beautiful and have larger leaves. After all, I have to sell it to others. How can I give poor things to others and ruin the reputation of our village? It’s not good for us and will affect sales.”

Everyone immediately agreed.

"Definitely..."

"I'm sure I'll keep the ones that are not in good quality for myself to eat. I won't be embarrassed to take them out and sell them to others."

"That's right, we must check it before bringing it over..."

Everyone was excitedly beating their chests and making promises, fearing that something would go wrong and the opportunity to make a fortune would be missed.

The village chief also said: "Okay, let's all disperse. There is still life here, and there are still a lot of finishing touches, so don't block the door."

"Okay, let's go home and have dinner..."

After everyone left, Ye Yaodong also arranged for someone to clean up the kelp.

Father Ye had just gone to take two bites, and now he was watching from here. It was his turn to go back to eat. At this point, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

Only he and Ah Qing haven't eaten yet.

Lin Xiuqing was also particularly happy, "The village chief is really good at talking and being a good person. If anyone dares to say nasty things about us in the future, others will take it back for us, and no one will dare to report us."

"They are also human beings, and they have set us up. No matter how much harvest we get in the coming year, we have to eat it. Fortunately, our store has been open for two or three years, and we already have a group of familiar customers, not only Boss Zhou, but also several A small boss and a large group of hawkers consume a lot of money in the army. "

"Then do you have to continue to develop, otherwise there will be dozens of tons this year and not thousands of tons next year? This amount is scary..."

Thinking of this, she became a little worried again. This was not a small quantity. This year, dozens of tons were enough. They could only sell a batch first and sell them later.

Even if we try to grow it again next year, with so much labor, the expansion of planting will probably be doubled by twenty or thirty times.

This number is amazing when you think about it.

"Don't worry, Boss Zhou is a big customer, and we are all familiar with it. Last year, we all said that we need as much as we can, but this year we have just started to buy it. I want a batch first, and I will definitely ask for more later. Moreover, as long as there is a market for kelp, People will come to our door. There is a shortage in the inland areas. Our country has such a large population. "

"Then someone has to buy it and circulate it..."

"It's not too early to worry. There are many truck drivers who will load a truckload of goods and then sell them all the way to other towns. Our store is there, so don't worry."

He had already had an idea. Looking at her worried and uneasy look, he said directly.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will take this cart of goods to the city, walk around the downtown and main streets, and then take it to the entrance of the market to display it for a long time. Finally, I will let people who want to buy come back the day after tomorrow. This cart Send it to Boss Zhou first."

"Some people like to gather in places where there are many people selling goods. Isn't this a good publicity? The wholesale market has a large flow of people, so people will naturally come to visit."

Lin Xiuqing's brows relaxed when she heard this, "This is feasible."

"It's definitely feasible. Even if I don't send it to Boss Zhou, if I go around the city or around the countryside, I'll probably sell more than half of it. I can still make a little more money, but it's just a little more laborious."

“The worst-case scenario is that our two tractors will be used to sell goods in the surrounding areas. Think about it, in the past, whenever a truck came to bring a load of goods, the villagers would rush to buy them if they were cheap enough. "

"Is this kelp cheap enough? Besides, it's still dry goods. If you can't sell it for a while, you can still store it."

Another point is that he knows that some places in the south have begun to try to cultivate abalone, sea cucumber and other high-end products, which use kelp as feed.

So what are you worried about? Don’t worry at all.

He has been encouraging village cadres to submit application reports to the research institute to see if they can apply for some species suitable for farming to develop the village. Their successful kelp farming is also a case study.

During this time, he stayed at home and went to the bottom of the sea to fish for a wave, and let everyone see that sea cucumbers and abalone can also grow in their sea area.

Wouldn't it be logical to establish offshore fishing rafts by then?

However, he saw that the cadres at the village office were not very enthusiastic. They were probably satisfied with just one piece of kelp, and it was enough to eat, so they probably didn't want to take the risk of messing with anything else.

For large-scale breeding, there are not many places in the sea area to get fish fillets, so they have to be placed in other areas.

He thought that maybe he could encourage his godfather to file a report, or he could directly apply through the Fisheries Association in the name of the vice president of the Fisheries Association, with the help of the Oceanographic Bureau, and then release it into the sea areas around the city, hoping to return the goods. Can be bigger.

Thinking of this, he planned to do this directly when delivering goods to the city tomorrow, sooner rather than later. Anyway, make more preparations.

When the time comes, he will actually establish a fishing raft for cultivating sea cucumbers and abalone in the villages around the city. No matter how much kelp is consumed, he will not need to digest it within the village. He can directly bring it through an intermediary and make a lot of money.

In their last life, there were many breedings in their city, so all of them were retreats.

It is impossible to start large-scale breeding in the village all at once, it must be done step by step.

However, he will not mention this one that has not yet appeared.

Lin Xiuqing heard what he said was clear and logical, and knew that he had a plan in mind. He had already planned it, and he was not doing this just when his head was hot. She was relieved that he would not have to throw hundreds of tons of goods into his hands when the time came.

"Then I'm relieved. This year's goods are only a few thousand yuan, and we can still afford the advance payment. If the goods are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands by then, it will be life-threatening."

"Then we won't be able to get the money right away. We will definitely have to wait for our goods to be sold, and then we will pay you gradually in half a month and a month. Today is just the first time, I will give everyone a taste of the sweetness, and the quantity It’s not much, just give it away, making everyone happy.”

"Well, it's time to go home for dinner. It's getting dark and I'm starving."

“Has the longline been delivered today?”

"They were delivered during meal time, and I piled them in the yard for fear that they would be kicked over by people coming and going in the workshop."

Ye Yaodong also stepped into the courtyard door and saw ten baskets of longline fish piled in the corner.

He asked Ah Qing to go in first to load the food, while he checked in the yard. He waited until Lin Xiuqing called him to eat before he went in.

"Then you are going to deliver kelp tomorrow and also go out to sea for longline fishing?"

"The tide is high at night and has not yet receded early tomorrow morning. I will go out to sea early tomorrow morning to put the longline into the sea and then come back. It will only take two or three hours. At that time, someone will load a cart of kelp first and wait for me. return."

"good."

Tomorrow's work is also quite important. He has to go there in person, otherwise he will just leave it to others.

It's really not that easy to make money.

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he immediately went to the workshop to check the arrangement of kelp. Everyone was still busy there wrapping it in nylon bags.

He took a sack and asked someone to fill the sack and put it neatly.

Anyway, it just weighed 5 tons and more than 600 kilograms. He asked someone to fill a bag so that he could set it aside and send it to his godfather tomorrow.

Such a large amount will definitely be distributed to the neighbors. Although it is not very valuable, it is still free after all. It is all my heart.

It's not a valuable thing, and it's not burdensome. No one will refuse it. It's just a good name for him in the family building.

The room was full of square nylon bags. If they hadn't been vacated earlier, there would be nowhere to put them.

After finishing the kelp work, others went next door to help carry the goods delivered by Ah Cai, and Ye Yaodong also locked up the storage room.

He then went to the fish-killing workshop next door, which was in full swing. There was only a wall between the two plots of land, but they were two extremes.

Fortunately, they are separated, and it can be considered as a separation of wet and dry.

The old ladies were killing fish while discussing the weighing of kelp. They always get the first-hand information and discuss the latest headlines.

He turned around and pulled Ah Cai, who was listening to the excitement, to stand aside to chat.

Ah Cai had just weighed the goods, checked the bill, and was chatting with his father.

"Brother Cai, have you made a lot of money recently?"

"Haha, isn't it all thanks to you? I can survive if you leak a little from your fingers, but now I rely on you to make money."

"Well, I also need your help, otherwise it will be so hard to send people to collect goods everywhere. It's better to give you the job and let you arrange it."

He opened a pack of cigarettes, handed two to Ah Cai, and lit a cigarette for him. Ah Cai was so happy that he was overjoyed.

"I'm so proud that I can ask you to light my cigarette now."

"We are all friends, what's wrong with lighting a cigarette? Look at your big belly and bald head, you look like a boss, and I look like a younger brother."

"Don't laugh at me, anyone can do this job, Agui and others at the dock can also receive the goods for you, or you can send a few workers to the dock in town to receive the goods. You specifically gave the goods to me to receive, so that I can earn this money, I know it very well."

"There are more profitable jobs, do you want to do it?"

"What kind of job? Don't you have enough goods? I can't do anything else except receiving and selling goods."

Ye Yaodong put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the door to avoid too much noise inside.

"Are you interested in selling goods in the market?"

"Ah? With the goods at our dock, there is no need to transport them to the city. The vendors around will consume them. At most, they will be sent to the county town, unless it is the flood season or there is a bumper harvest of some fish. Do you want me to sell squid or something else?"

"No, my fresh-harvesting boat is about to arrive, and several of my own boats are enough to dock, but it takes time to go ashore to deal with these goods, and I can't always squat in the market to sell goods, so I thought of you."

There are people collecting goods at the dock. Fresh-harvesting boats have all kinds of goods. People who specialize in collecting fish will also pick what they need, and they can't take them all. That is also worth thousands or tens of thousands of goods. People also have to collect goods from other boats. They will only take what they need, and they have to come across it.

Small purchasing points can't take too much goods. Similarly, it's not just his boat. After all, all transactions must be cash.

The rest have to find buyers themselves, or send them to wholesale markets to wait for buyers. In the past, they would directly take them to wholesale markets, which saved one procedure. Although they had to pay freight, they could sell more goods if they had more.

Now he has a hard time selling a boatload of goods, not to mention a whole boatload of goods from a fresh-collecting ship. He directly arranges his younger brother to wait and sell the goods. He is also worried that others will take his money and run away, after all, they are all paid and delivered.

He can't stay in the market all day long. If he can't sell all the goods, he has to stack them in the ice storage and continue the next day, so he must transfer the goods to others, which will save him some trouble.

He only needs to cooperate with Acai. He is responsible for driving the fresh-collecting ship to collect goods from the sea. After docking, he will weigh them to Acai and issue an invoice according to the purchase price of the day at the dock to get the money.

He can be a hands-off boss and don't have to worry about anything. Let Acai sell the goods by himself and make a profit from the difference.

With so many goods, he can also make a lot of money, but it takes time and requires advance payment.

But it doesn't matter if you can make more money or spend some time. Acai's behavior of helping him collect goods now is also to make more money, and the wholesale market will become more and more prosperous.

He also targeted Ah Cai, who was quite capable and must have a lot of money on hand. At worst, he could find relatives and friends to form a partnership.

In fact, he could also find Lao Hai and sell the goods to him. He seemed to have a lot of connections and a lot of money on hand. Now he could also make a living at the dock.

But Lao Hai was in the provincial capital, and he felt it was a lot of trouble. He had to go back to the city after going to the provincial capital. It would be better to encourage Ah Cai to develop in the city and earn money for him.

"Think about it, how much goods can you collect in the village? I asked you to help collect only cheap fish, and the profit is limited. It will be different if you develop in the city."

"A fresh-collecting ship can carry dozens of tons of goods, and all of them are given to you. Although the advance payment cost is high, the return rate is also high. And isn't your store in the city rented out? You can also use it, pile up more ice blocks, and turn it into an ice storage. When the time comes, you can also use it to store the unsold goods. This is also ready-made."

The information Ah Cai sent him was shocking, frowning, and he couldn't think anymore.

"You still have a fresh fish collection boat... You are planning to eat it all by yourself from the beginning to the end, without any soup..."

"Yes, if I didn't have anyone I could trust, it would be troublesome to send it to the provincial capital, and I wouldn't have to pull you. I would transfer the goods to you and let you make the difference."

If he had a fish processing factory, it would be a one-stop service.

Now it can only catch half a dragon, the cheap ones are used for drying, the worthless ones are used for fermentation, and the rest are sold to Acai.

"Let me think about it. I have to think about it when I suddenly dropped such a big thing. Dozens of tons, except for the squid season and the crazy fishing of toadfish in winter, there will be so many goods in a few days. At most, there will be more goods when you occasionally encounter some schools of barramundi, dragon head fish, pomfret, etc."

"In fact, the nature is the same. You also collect individual households in the village, and now you are directly collecting big households like me. Isn't there more room for development? There is still unlimited hope in the city."

"I have to go home and think about it."

"Then you go back and think about it. Don't miss this opportunity. If you lose it, you will never come back. I have a fixed source of goods. If you are worried about advancing funds, find two more people to join forces. Originally, you can't do this alone, so you have to hire someone."

"I'll go back and think about it. When will your fresh-harvest boat start collecting goods? Why didn't I hear that you had another fresh-harvest boat? I didn't see any fishing boats coming in."

"At the end of next month, or at the beginning of June, it depends on the situation. There is still a long time, so you can think about it carefully. If you feel that you can't bear it and want to stay in the village, that's fine. I will find someone else."

"It's still a month or so away, so that's fine. Don't worry. I'll think about it."

"Well, you generally know the situation in the city. You also have shops in the wholesale market. You also know that the market is getting more and more prosperous. How much people and cars are around, how much seafood is shipped out every day, and I heard that seafood will be processed this year. There are a lot more factories.”

Ah Cai nodded, with a rare serious look on his face, "I know, I will consider it carefully."

"Well, in a big place, there are more opportunities. Go out and hang out, maybe you can become a famous fishing boss in the city, and you can develop other industries in the future."

He smiled, "With your mouth, you can talk about life and death."

"Haha, that's not the case. I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. It's a win-win situation. Of course I hope you will go to the city to work together."

"Then if I go to the market, your workshop will be out of supplies and you will need to find someone else..."

"Are you kidding me? When I get the fresh boat, you will also lose your job here. I will sell you a whole boat full of valuable goods, and I can still send back the worthless ones to dry the fish, and you don't have to go through it. Your hand, give your middlemen a hand.”

Ah Cai was silent for a moment, "Then I will really be beaten back to my original shape, and I will no longer be able to earn money and drink soup from you."

"That is to say, I have the goods myself, so of course I don't have to go outside to collect them. If you think about it, our cooperation can be considered a win-win situation."

"Okay, wait until I go to the market soon to have a look and investigate."

"Okay, you should be more cautious."

"You are really getting better and better. Hey...it has only been so long. It seems that the whole village can follow you and drink soup."

"Who knows, I just kept working and ended up like this. I didn't expect the stall to be so big. I just wanted to have enough food and clothing for the whole family, and just have some small assets."

Ah Cai shrugged expressionlessly, shook off his hand on his shoulder, and walked away.

"Huh? What are you doing? Where are you going? You haven't finished talking yet..."

"I have nothing to say to you."

"No, didn't we have a good chat just now? You even smoked two of my cigarettes, and I ordered them..."

Ah Caili ignored him and continued walking to the village.

Ye Yaodong followed him and continued reading, "I didn't think much about it at first. I just thought that I couldn't keep the money in my hands and had to use it for production to make money, so I kept buying boats, buying big boats, doing this and that..."

Ah Cai's pace slowed down a bit, and these words that could still be heard were more pleasant to the ears than what he just said.

"...Who would have known that there would be more and more people behind me, and more and more things to consider, and the result would be like this, which is far different from the original idea. There are more and more industries, and it is exhausting... …”

Ah Cai felt that he should not slow down, so he quickened his pace and strode towards the village, leaving behind the people behind him.

"Hey... listen to what I have to say... why are you walking so fast? I don't eat people, so I just want to chat with you..."

Can't this person be a good listener?

What's wrong with hearing about Versailles?

He left before he finished speaking. It was rare that he had a strong desire to chat at night.

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked back. After talking for a long time, he wasted a lot of saliva and he was also thirsty.

The workshop is now in order, and there is no need for him to stay in it. He just goes home and goes to bed early. He is tired after working for so long.

Tomorrow I have to get up early to go out to sea for longline fishing, and then I have to go to the city.

Father Ye and Mother Ye have been helping in the workshop, and they have stayed there until now.

At this time, he also planned to go home and rest, as Ye’s father would go to sea at night.

It was rare for the old couple to walk together with smiles on their faces, chatting while walking. Seeing such harmony, Ye Yaodong felt like the moon was about to come out in the east.

However, every time the two of them came out of the workshop, they seemed to be in a good mood. They probably heard all the compliments, envy, and flattery inside.

Father Ye was still playing with his private seal in his hand, and his old face was filled with laughter.

"I carry that thing of yours with me all day long, and I'm not afraid of losing it."

"No, I won't lose it if I hold it in my hand. I will put it away when I get home at night. I can't take it with me when I go to sea all day long. I only have a day off when I come back and I have to go to sea again. I have been busy there today. I can only take advantage of it now to play.”

"Come on, there's no one around now, so no one else can see it, so just put it away."

Father Ye laughed and said, "Why don't you put it under your pillow and take it out from time to time?"

"Insanity, just take a look at it in the first few days. If anyone is like you, I would have locked them in a drawer."

"That's because you're at home every day and you're tired of seeing it."

"Too lazy to tell you..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and shook his head. He stood in the corner, surrounded by darkness, and his parents did not notice him.

I was thinking, when will I buy his father two walnuts and put them in his hands to play with...

He walked directly to his house and drove the three children who were still playing at the door back to bed.

"Your eldest brother laughed at you this morning and forgot about standing still? Are you still running after him now?"

Ye Xiaoxi tilted his head, "Brother said he would take me to catch him tomorrow..."

It was too late for Ye Chenghu to cover her mouth.

"Ye Chenghu, are you itchy?"

"Dad, she's talking nonsense, I want to go to school."

"Brother said that all the brothers and sisters should go and not bring other children! He asked me to give the candy to him and not to anyone else."

Ye Chenghu became angry and said, "Shut up, I won't take you with me."

"You are really promising."

Ye Chenghu ran home immediately and ran upstairs.

Ye Yaodong also picked up Ye Xiaoxi, "Don't listen to his lies, he just wants to trick you into eating candy. Have you forgotten the beating you received today? When he comes back clean tomorrow, you will still be beaten when the time comes. ”

"My brother said he would take me to my aunt to take a bath, but my mother didn't know."

"Damn, Ye Chenghu is just like a pig at other times, but this is really clever. I'll catch him and give him a good beating tomorrow."

"Second brother said it!"

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengyang again, and Ye Chengyang also ran upstairs quickly.

"I just said Ye Chenghu is not that smart."

"Hehehehehe..."

When Ye Chengyang heard his father praising him, he paused while climbing the stairs, stuck his head out and smiled, and then quickly went upstairs again.
