Chapter 1229 Proposal

The next morning, Ye Yaodong got up just after daybreak.

He stood at the door of his house and watched the tides rise and fall on the sea. He also saw that the kelp in the open space next to him had been dried on the beach.

The village cadres listened to what he said yesterday morning. Those who didn't have enough space to dry the kelp slowly moved to the beach and dried it on the beach.

There were people drying the kelp there early in the morning. I don't know if they worked all night or got up early to work.

"Are these people asleep or not?"

The old lady also came out to take a look. "When I got up, there were people working there. I don't know."

"Really hardworking."

At this time, Chen Shi had already arrived at the door of his yard while chewing sweet potatoes.

He asked Chen Shi to stay yesterday and go longline fishing with him this morning. The workshop transferred a person to go out to sea with his father.

"It's so early, you haven't eaten yet? Why are you eating sweet potatoes? Come in and have a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach."

"It's too late...to cool down, so...eat sweet potatoes."

"Could it be that you cooked it for the pigs and took it?"

"No...I heated it up last night...it's hot."

Ye Yaodong looked at his honest face and shook his head, put him in to eat a bowl of porridge, and then took him out to sea.

It was already the end of April and almost May, the temperature had risen, but he still had to wear a thin cotton jacket when going out to sea.

When they pushed the cart to the outside of the dock and heard people say, they knew that those who were drying kelp took turns to work all night.

It was low tide from yesterday evening to night, and they happened to collect kelp to sell to him and take a rest.

When the tide rose at night, they all got up to collect vegetables and dry them overnight. If the fresh kelp collected was not dried in time, it would easily go bad, so they were still working even if they were busy until dawn.

Moreover, they also had to race against time to work when the weather was sunny. Sunlight was precious to everyone, and it would rain from time to time during this season.

In addition, he needed a boat this morning, so he had to make room for it.

When he arrived at the dock, the boat was already moored on the shore, and he didn't know whether the aquaculture base had been harvested or not.

After refueling, he drove out directly and drove to the aquaculture base out of curiosity.

As expected, the sea area was already bare. Everyone had been busy for a few days and had harvested all the kelp overnight.

"The speed is pretty fast."

"Haha, it can make money..."

"Yes, everyone needs something that can make money steadily."

Chen Shi nodded.

The wind was strong on the sea, and Ye Yaodong stopped talking after a few words. He had to speak with his back to the wind, otherwise his mouth would be filled with wind.

After driving for nearly an hour, he arrived at the familiar sea area. When he was still approaching the destination, he saw two fishing boats. He took a closer look and found that they were Xiao Xiao A Zheng's.

Unexpectedly, they were trawling in the surrounding area.

The fishing boats were working, and he did not disturb them. He just raised the flag when he drove past them, just as a greeting.

After finding a good spot near the reef, he and Chen Shi put down baskets of longline fishing.

Then they also threw down the few remaining ground traps and shrimp cages at home around the reef.

It was high tide at this time, and the reef was not exposed to the sea surface, but he was familiar with this place and it was impossible to hit the reef.

After throwing the last buoy, he clapped his hands and said, "Call it a day, go back."

"When... are you coming... to collect?"

"Tomorrow morning, I don't have time today. I have to take kelp to the city later, and there are a lot of things to do in the city."

"Okay."

Before Ye Yaodong went back, he also walked around the nearby islands. Looking at the dense barnacles and juveniles on the reefs, he felt that he had to bring two people to dig in two days.

It would be a pity not to dig it up, because it will grow again anyway. It is a renewable resource.

After reading it, he immediately returned.

He went out to the sea and put out longline fishing and ground traps. It was not yet 9 o'clock when he returned.

He went to the workshop first and asked people to move the kelp collected yesterday to the tractor, and then went home to change his work clothes.

If it was just a normal delivery to the market, it would not matter if he wore work clothes, but he had to go to the Ocean Bureau and the Fisheries Association Office to apply for a report, so he had to dress decently.

A large bundle of kelp wrapped in nylon weighed at least 200 kilograms, and it took several people to lift it out and put it on the tractor.

The tractor can bear about five or six tons. It is stacked high and fixed with ropes. It is not a problem to pull away the goods collected yesterday in one truck.

But when the last bag was about to be moved up, Ye Yaodong asked people to open the bag and push the scale over.

"Yesterday we weighed 620 kilograms more, so we weighed 520 kilograms and didn't pack them together."

Boss Zhou just needed 5 tons first, so he delivered 100 kilograms to his godfather, and he could take out the remaining 520 kilograms to hang on the car for advertising, and then sell them in the market.

After weighing 520 kilograms, the last bag was also loaded onto the car.

He asked people to tie up the scattered 520 kilograms of kelp with ropes, evenly distribute them on the top, and cover them on the nylon bag.

Then he asked people to tie up the pile of goods with ropes to prevent them from falling down due to bumps along the way.

"Brother Dong, why do you have to go to so much trouble to spread the kelp on top? Wouldn't it be more convenient to put it in a bag and take it away together? It also saves you from having to take down the scattered ones when unloading." Pei Dongqing asked in confusion.

"You don't understand this, do you? If I don't take out the kelp and spread it on the top and fill up the whole car, will others know that the black stuff in my bag is kelp?"

"Oh, do you have to show it to people on purpose?"

"Of course, I have to go around the main street a few times to let everyone know that my whole car is full of kelp, and then I will pull it to the entrance of the market and sell these hundreds of kilograms in pieces. Isn't this a perfect publicity?"

Wait until tomorrow to pull another car and put it in front of the store to attract more people.

Pei Dongqing's eyes sparkled as he looked at him with admiration, "You are so smart, then we won't have to worry about selling the kelp anymore, a few kilograms will sell quickly, and it can also attract wholesalers."

"Yes, smart."

"And the one that has been disassembled is easier to weigh, and the remaining 5 tons can be weighed faster when you deliver the goods."

"Well, work hard, let's go."

Ye Yaodong started the tractor with the crank, then threw the crank under the seat, sat on it, turned around and left.

He had planned it well, and he did the same thing when he went to the city.

The tractor was driving on the streets of the downtown area, and the speed was not fast, so it could only move slowly. The people looked at his whole truck of kelp, and they even came to the front of the car and asked him trottingly if he would sell the kelp.

Not just one or two, they drove all the way, and as long as the tractor slowed down, a large number of people came up to ask.

Ye Yaodong always said that this truckload of goods had been ordered, and there would be more tomorrow. He would bring another truckload to the aquatic product wholesale market at noon tomorrow, and asked them to come at that time.

He also said that 2.5 cents per catty, and one catty could soak about five or six catties.

He thought that if he came again tomorrow, he could take a loudspeaker and bring someone other than Chen Shi to drive and shout to attract people, which would be more effective.

He drove all the way and slowly blocked the city before it became empty. The tractor could also speed up a little, but it was not much faster, with so many goods.

When a truckload of kelp stopped at the door of a store in the wholesale market, the peddlers and merchants around were attracted by the whole truckload of goods, and all surrounded him to ask if he was pulling it here to sell.

Here, a whole truckload of goods is either pulled here to sell or purchased from here. Obviously, no other stalls in the market sell kelp in large quantities.

"For sale, there are only a few hundred kilograms, the rest have been reserved, 0.25 cents per kilogram, 0.22 cents per kilogram for more than 20 kilograms, no bargaining."

"One kilogram soaks five or six kilograms, and the actual kilogram only costs three or four cents, which is cheap."

"Only 500 kilograms, only 500 kilograms, sold out."

Ye Yaodong shouted while asking people to climb onto the car to untie the rope.

And Lin's father also saw the movement at the door and hurried out, and then hurried in to get the scale.

"Give me 20 kilograms!"

"I want 20 kilograms too..."

"Is there anyone who wants to buy 20 kilograms together?"

"I, I, I... Can I buy 5 kilograms together?"

"I'll buy 5 kilograms too..."

Ye Yaodong watched them shouting in the crowd to find someone to buy together, thinking that he didn't cut a single knife here.

There are many people gathered here. Chinese people like to gather where there is a lot of fun. The more people and the more crowded it is, the more attractive it is.

But in less than an hour, all 520 kilograms of goods were sold out. If it weren't for the time spent weighing the goods and collecting the money, they would have been sold out long ago.

There are still some people who haven't bought it and are still asking. They are all group orders. Ye Yaodong asked them to come at the same time tomorrow.

"Comrade, how many tons do you have in this truck?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the young man who was holding a bundle of 20 kilograms of kelp in his hand, and said casually: "A truck of 5 tons has been reserved."

After that, he said to the crowd that had not yet dispersed: "Don't worry if you haven't bought it. These goods have been reserved and cannot be unpacked. Come back at the same time tomorrow. There will be another truck tomorrow."

The young man did not leave and continued to ask: "Is this truck reserved by the same person? Can such a large quantity be cheaper?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the young man seriously at this time. Just now, he saw that he was young and might not be as old as him, so he didn't take it seriously and just perfunctorily said something.

It seems that he is asking for the price. It is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. You can't underestimate him just because he is young.

He smiled and said, "Of course, it will be more favorable to buy a few tons each time. Boss, do you want a large quantity? How much quantity do you want? The price is negotiable."

"You can call me a layman," he picked up the kelp in his hand and gestured, "I'll take it back to check the quality and talk tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong smiled even more, "Okay, OK, I'll bring a few more tons tomorrow. Large quantity means a good price and the price is negotiable."

"Originally, the goods for tomorrow have been reserved, but the other party is not in a hurry. If the negotiation is successful, I can give it to you first. If the negotiation is not successful, I will send it to the next buyer."

"You can also go into my shop to take a look at the dried fish and fish sauce. They are all fresh sea fish, caught by our own fishing boats, and are fresher."

Call him a layman, a monk or an acquaintance. Those who can buy his goods are all good people.

This name is just picked casually when he was walking around.

It seems that he is really a potential boss.

"Okay, let's take a look at the quality first. It turns out that store is yours."

"Don't worry, this was just posted for fun these past two days. The white frost on it is mannitol, not something dirty. Laymen will think it is something dirty. This can lower blood pressure, promote diuresis and reduce swelling. Eating more kelp can prevent iodine-deficient goiter. This is a good thing."

These days, few people know that the frost on kelp is mannitol. They all think it is dirty. People living by the sea also think so.

There is no comprehensive popular science, and even if there is popular science information, most people will not know it.

"So that's how it is. I didn't know that the white frost on top was a good thing. I really thought it was dirty, but I also thought it should be natural like this, just wash it clean."

"Of course you have to wash it, but this layer of frost also shows the quality of the kelp. You will know it after you take it home and eat it. It is thick, fresh and chewy."

The layman smiled, "Thank you, your explanation makes kelp a good thing."

"It is a good thing in the first place. Anything that can prevent diseases is a good thing, and the price is cheap. It only costs a few cents per pound after it is soaked. If you get sick, you will have to spend all your money to take medicine to treat the disease."

"That makes sense, then I'll leave first."

"Okay, goodbye, I won't see you off, let's talk tomorrow."

The layman nodded, carrying a bundle of kelp tied with a rope and walked into the crowd.

Ye Yaodong also retracted his gaze, looked at the people around him who had not left, and waved his hand to say hello.

"Everyone, come back at this time tomorrow and bring another truck tomorrow."

Father Lin wiped his sweat and asked with a smile: "It's quite easy to sell. It starts at 20 kilograms and it's sold out soon."

Ye Yaodong asked Chen Shi to go up and tie the rope again, fix the truck on top, and answered casually.

"If it's one kilogram at a time, how long will it take to sell? It's much easier to pack 20 kilograms together, and it can be sold out earlier. It's better to sell it cheaper, and everyone will feel that they have made a profit."

"That's true. It's hard to tell over the phone. How much kelp did your village grow? This truck must have several tons, right? Will there be more tomorrow?"

"Yes, it will be harvested for a few days in a row. I will be catching squid at home for the next half month. The Dongsheng was handed over to my father to drive out. I happened to be at home to deal with the latest batch of kelp. There should be about 30 tons."

"30 tons!" Father Lin was shocked.

He only knew that last year Ye Yaodong suggested that the village committee cultivate kelp, and this year there was a bumper harvest, and everyone was happy, but he didn't know that just trying to cultivate it would yield such a large harvest in the first year.

I heard that there were only a few people doing it, and the enclosed trial cultivation base was not that big, after all, it was just a trial.

"That's it, so everyone in the village is very happy these two days."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is a great thing, the whole village is cultivating together, so won't everyone make money together? This is better than doing anything else, and everyone is happy."

"Well, I'll deliver this batch of goods first and come back later."

"Okay."

The goods on the car have been tied and fixed again, and Ye Yaodong continues to drive the tractor to deliver goods to Boss Zhou. This is also agreed in advance and will be delivered today.

The 5 tons were packed in nylon bags. He had weighed them in advance. The weight of the nylon bags exceeded the net weight.

Business with Boss Zhou is always settled in cash. One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods. There is no deposit or final payment.

After the warehouse was put in and the money was taken, he saw that it was only 2 o'clock and it was just time to go to work, so he went to the Fishery Association to report.

The city is close, so he often comes to report and take a look, and by the way, he understands what the current Fishery Association is doing.

It was just established, and most of them were planning rules and regulations there, but they didn't do anything substantial.

He proposed that the city expand the cultivation of sea cucumbers and abalones, which would probably be the first heavyweight.

It still needs to be discussed with the leaders first, and then get support before discussing with the Fishery Association. It takes several meetings to realize it and then submit a report and apply.

Ye Yaodong sat in the association for a while, which is actually just a small storefront, and then went to the nearby Ocean Bureau.

Of course, business matters must be discussed at work.

Director Chen was not surprised to see him coming, because Ye Yaodong would come to his house every now and then.

"Are you here? Sit down. You are dressed so cleanly today. You don't look like you just came back from the sea."

"Haha, I can't embarrass you. You must dress neatly and neatly when you come to work."

"Is there something going on?"

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"Don't flatter me. Just tell me. If it was a private matter, you would have waited for me at home."

"It's like this. I think we are a coastal city, living by the sea, but not everyone can go fishing. I think Wen City has already studied jellyfish farming, so as not to eat up all the mountains, I think we should also carry out farming here to improve the economy of the whole people..."

He talked a lot, and then talked about the success of his village's kelp farming last year, how amazing the output was, and how he brought the goods to the city today and was robbed.

He talked a lot of ideas that he thought of, most of which were combined with what he knew in his previous life.

"So you want to promote kelp farming throughout the city?"

"No, no, no, I'm thinking of writing an application report, sending people to visit the institute, and then applying to cultivate species suitable for our surrounding waters, not necessarily kelp. Kelp has requirements for the tides in the sea area, and it can't be grown everywhere. We have to choose the right one. The institute must have studied many species. We can apply for a visit and then have the institute send people to check the experiments."

Director Chen thought silently.

Ye Yaodong continued, "It's okay to give it a try. At worst, visiting can also broaden your horizons. If it can be developed, wouldn't it also be a great achievement? It can improve the labor productivity of the whole people, increase marine resources, and meet the production and daily needs of the working people. This is still long-term."

"It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails..."

"So invite the researcher over. Professional things must be done by professionals. We just propose a plan, and professionals will solve the problem based on the plan and conduct production experiments. It's okay if it fails, just continue the experiment. Don't researchers study these species? Our field experiments are also supportive. Research, if it can be produced, it is also an affirmation of their research results. "

Director Chen thought about it thoughtfully, "This is not a trivial matter, your idea is good, marine research has always existed, and it is only a matter of time before some aquaculture can be promoted."

"I'll think about it, you can write an application report first, and then hold an internal discussion meeting later to see what others think. If it is unanimously approved, submit the application again. The superiors may not necessarily approve it. "

Ye Yaodong didn't expect to be convinced so easily, and said happily: "Okay, as long as you try to apply and make a reasonable and well-founded argument, the superiors will definitely hope that there will be a breakthrough in aquaculture."

"By the way, I also brought a big bag, about 100 kilograms of dried kelp, you can give some to relatives and friends, although it is not worth much, but it is also worth a try."

"Also, there are sea cucumbers and abalone growing in the waters around us, as well as many kinds of fish. I was thinking that if we start breeding, we can try high-end ingredients such as sea cucumbers and abalone. They feed on kelp, so if we breed them, we don't have to think about what to feed them, hehe."

Director Chen laughed: "Are you also trying to solve the problem of kelp sales?"

"That's not the case. Kelp is definitely not a problem to sell. It has a lot of advantages and is easy to store and transport. But I decided to promote it. What to breed, or researchers have to investigate and decide what is suitable for us to breed here, can't be blindly decided, I just make a suggestion. "

"Well, OK, I know your idea, comprehensive breeding is indeed a good proposal."

"Okay, I will write a report when I go back and show it to you. I don't know how to write it, anyway, I will write down my ideas, and you can give me guidance at that time."

"This will be done, you can write a simple one first, and wait for the meeting to pass, and then organize and write it again and submit it."

"Okay."

The idea of ​​breeding, he proposed, the next discussion is not his consideration, it depends on the leaders' ideas.

After all, the Fisheries Association has just been established and has no power. It has to listen to the leaders. Only when it matures can it have an independent system and independent decision-making.

After the matter was settled, he put the sack of kelp he brought with him to the guard, talked to Director Chen, let him arrange it himself, and left first.

He was in a hurry. The traffic was really bad. He wasted all his time on the way back and forth.

He didn't know when the highway would be open. If he wanted to get rich, he had to build roads first.

He had to go to the market to get money and the sales revenue of the store during this period, and then rush home.

It would be dark when he got home at this time, and he would definitely not be able to collect the kelp in time.

But fortunately, it was weighed yesterday, and Aqing would know the arrangements.

He came and went in a hurry, and even the factory was just a quick stroll, took a look, asked if everything was normal, and then returned immediately.

When he got home, it was completely dark, and even the kelp had been weighed and collected.

He got off the tractor and went straight to the warehouse and asked Lin Xiuqing.

"The speed is so fast today? How many tons did you collect?"

"More than three tons. The villagers brought their dried goods here early in the afternoon. They brought them here one after another after lunch. The village committee also hurried to collect the dried goods. So we started working early and collected them as soon as the sun went down."

"Three tons is not much, it's half the difference from yesterday."

"That can't be helped. We collected everything we could yesterday. There were also some dried goods in the first batch, so the quantity was a little more."

"That's fine. Anyway, it's enough for tomorrow."

"Have you sold all today?"

Ye Yaodong patted the bag hanging inside his clothes, and the coins clanged.

"It's not enough even if we sell all of them. It was quite late when we arrived, and the market was about to close. I didn't expect them to sell so quickly, mainly because they are cheap and there are people flowing in. I will just take these quantities there tomorrow."

"It's fine as long as they sell well. I'm afraid that if they don't sell well, they will have to stock up and take up space."

"No, there will probably be more people tomorrow. When I went there, I walked around the downtown area, driving slowly, and people came to ask me if I was selling, and they wanted to climb into my car."

"I guess it will take a day to sell these scattered items."

"I'm selling 20 kilograms today, and it's selling very quickly. I haven't stopped in the downtown area yet, and I've met someone asking for the price. Maybe I can sell all of it tomorrow."

"Is that so? Then we don't have to worry about selling." Lin Xiuqing was happy. She was worried that there would be too many and she would be stuck with it.

"You're just worrying about nothing. Are you afraid that no one will want the food?"

Ye Yaodong walked to the door and waited for Lin Xiuqing to unlock the warehouse door. Before the lights were turned on, he could smell the strong smell of kelp.

The bags were tied tightly, but the smell was still strong.

"It smells strangely fragrant, this is the smell of the sea."

"The smell of the sea is fishy, ​​but the smell of kelp is quite fresh, and it has the smell of the sun. We are used to the smell of the sea, so we think it smells fragrant, but others may have to pinch their noses."

"Have you checked the quality? I'm talking about the ones that everyone brought in separately."

"Of course, when they were weighed, they were bundled and piled up one by one. After they had been through it, they knew that with so many people watching, they didn't dare to pass off inferior goods as good ones. They were all good, so they were brought to us, and the bad ones were kept for themselves."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong opened a bag casually and took a look, then bundled it up again.

"You've been running around all day, go eat quickly."

"Yeah."

Lin Xiuqing felt a little sorry for him running back and forth. He obviously had a lot of workers, but he had to do many things himself before he could arrange for people to do them. After all, this was the first time that kelp was produced so much this year.

"If it's going to be this late tomorrow, why not just spend the night in the city? I can take care of the goods at home anyway. Let them send the goods to the city dock the next day, and you can just stay in the city, saving you the trouble of running back and forth."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and thought it was feasible.

Nylon bags are waterproof anyway, so it's no problem to bundle them up and send them over by fishing boats.

"I'll think about it and make a plan later. I'll go out to sea to collect the longline fishing tomorrow, and then I can transport the goods to the city. I'll stay overnight tomorrow, and I can go to the dock to pick up the goods you arranged the day after tomorrow. It's also possible to connect directly. There are more people in the market in the morning than at noon."
