Chapter 1237: I Get Excited Just Thinking About It

Early in the morning, Ye Yaodong got up and went to the workshop with a bucket of water. In it was the squid he brought back yesterday, which was covered with ice. He planned to load it onto the tractor first, and at the same time, he asked someone to pack the dried fish to be taken to the city.

In this way, he could set off immediately after breakfast. The city was far away, so it was better to leave early than late.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the workshop, several married and unmarried men were squatting or bending over, talking to the little girl sitting at the door.

"What are you doing? Bullies molesting good girls?"

Several people immediately stood up with a smile.

"No, we just talked to her."

"Yes, we asked her which village she was from?"

"Brother Dong, are you going to recruit her to the city to keep accounts? Or let us keep accounts here? There are so many people coming and going in these two workshops, and we have to recruit some people to help the third sister-in-law."

"Yes, there are aunts and grandmas next door."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the shy, blushing little girl and stared at the wolf-like men.

"What? Are you still disgusted? The aunts and grandmas are about to rush over with kitchen knives."

"How dare we? It's better if they despise us."

"Why haven't you gone out to sea yet?"

"Third uncle hasn't come yet. The old lady asked him to pick up manure early in the morning, and he asked us to wait."

Okay.

He wanted to pick it yesterday, but the day before, he said that his father would be back soon, and asked Aqing to buy a pig's trotter. Later, the old lady said that his father would be back soon, and asked him to keep it for his father.

That would be better, of course, he is also busy.

His father came back yesterday and at least he had a rest. It would be no problem to go to the sea this morning to collect manure before going out to sea.

"Who of you will drive the tractor over? Everyone is here. Let's load the dried fish into the car."

"Okay, I'm coming."

The young men immediately started to work. Some of them even greeted the girls and asked them to sit for a while before rolling up their sleeves to work.

Ye Yaodong looked at them like peacocks spreading their tails. He couldn't bear it and kicked them away.

Hearing that she was only 16 years old and could be his granddaughter in his previous life, these beasts' eyes lit up.

He said to the little girl: "Don't be afraid. They just think you are new and have no ill intentions. It's not just men here. The aunties next door will really come over with knives to kill fish later."

Huang Mei nodded while holding her luggage.

"I'll go back to eat first. When they finish loading the car, we'll set off. You should wait here."

She continued to nod.

Ye Yaodong didn't say much and went back directly.

As soon as he got home and sat down, he saw his father coming in from the back door. His hands were wet, probably because he had just washed his hands after picking up manure.

"Are you eating?"

He always felt that this sounded a bit strange, so he chose to skip it. "You should go out to sea quickly, they are all waiting in the workshop."

Father Ye picked up the hand towel hanging under the table and wiped his hands casually. "I know, it's the old woman who has too many things to do. Everything has to wait for me to come back. If I hadn't come back, would it have been full? As soon as I came back, I was anxious to ask me to pour it."

Ye Yaodong's chopsticks that were fiddling with the porridge did not move.

"I'm eating, you hurry up and do your own thing."

Father Ye glanced at him and said nothing. The tide was coming, and he had to go out to sea quickly.

After his father left, Ye Yaodong hurriedly ate the porridge, casually poured a few chopsticks of pickles and pickled cucumbers into his stomach, and walked out.

A truckload of dried fish was ready to go, and covered with nylon bags and secured with ropes.

The bucket of squid and a large jar of squid eggs he had brought early in the morning were already pressed down by the dried fish, which would not affect the unloading or the bumps along the way.

He asked the girl to sit on his left hand side, and after making sure she was seated firmly, he drove the tractor away.

As soon as he entered the village, he heard several shouts, all from vendors who had come early to sell things.

Ye Yaodong had been concentrating on driving, but seeing the girl peeking at him from time to time, he was worried that she would be scared to leave her hometown and go far away, so he chatted with her casually and asked about her family situation.

But every time he reached a bend, he felt a little embarrassed, because of inertia, the girl would fall on him, and he was holding the handle of the tractor in his hand, but it was okay, she would not fall on her.

He felt awkward. If the back of the truck was not full, he should have let the other person sit in the back instead of sitting next to him in the front.

Fortunately, he didn't ask the boy from the workshop to take him, otherwise he would have been so excited that he couldn't drive the car properly, and the front of the car would have been tilted.

After one or two times, he slowed down every time he came to a turn, which reduced the awkwardness a little.

When they arrived in the city, they could talk and laugh, and they could hear Dong Ge.

Ye Yaodong also explained the streets in the city to her. Every time he passed a street, he would talk about the special places or iconic buildings, which made her excited and excited. She couldn't see enough.

Most of the rural people who came to the city for the first time were like this.

What's more, in recent years, they have vigorously developed and supported individual businesses. Many streets that were previously empty now have shops. Compared with the previous years, when he first came, it was 10 times more lively.

After arriving in the city, it was quick to go to the wholesale market.

When he drove to the factory gate, it was not yet lunchtime, only around 10 o'clock. Some people had not gotten up yet, and some were squatting at the kitchen door brushing their teeth.

Seeing him drive a tractor in, and a girl sitting next to him, her eyes widened, and she started shouting with bubbles in her mouth.

"Brothers, come out quickly, Adong brought a girl."

"What girl? Adong brought a woman? Is this true?"

"No way?"

All those who got up and those who didn't, ran out, even his aunt ran out with a spatula to see.

Ye Yaodong frowned, looking at the disheveled people, "What nonsense, this is an accountant hired to keep accounts."

"Accountant? What is an accountant?"

Wang Guangliang, holding clothes in his hand, patted the person next to him with his bare chest, "Are you stupid? Didn't I say I was a bookkeeper?"

"Oh, I thought Adong also learned from other bosses to bring women."

Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "Did you see other bosses bringing women? Don't spread rumors to me, if my reputation is ruined, I will beat you to death."

"Hehe, I heard it."

Wang Guangliang put on his clothes and moved closer The lackey said, "Brother Dong, is this little girl from our place? Did you invite her here specially?"

"Yes, she is only 16 years old and has a thin skin. Don't scare her. If you scare my accountant away and make her dare not stay here, you should go home."

"Of course, we must get along well and help my sister more."

"What time did you work last night? Come and unload the goods when you get up."

"Okay, we will finish work and go back to sleep after receiving the goods at 2 o'clock."

Ye Yaodong handed the goods to them for unloading, and took Huang Mei to find his aunt, who arranged accommodation for them.

By the way, he also told people that if they wanted to call home to report their safety, they could go to the market opposite and ask anyone.

After explaining, he went to visit several fermentation rooms. After three or four months of development, now both inside and outside the house are full, and the number is particularly considerable.

If it weren't for the large land he bought, it would have been too big to fit in.

The more I think about it now, the more I feel that what I did was right. Without such a large piece of land, his fish sauce workshop would not have been so big.

The large batch of fish sauce fermented before the New Year is now being filtered and bottled. He plans to deliver the batch that the overseas Chinese want in a few days to see if he can earn some foreign exchange.

After unloading a truck of dried fish, he also took down a bucket of squid and untied the rope.

When they were loading the truck, they were worried that the ice on the top would make the dried fish damp, so they specially took a small piece of nylon bag to cover it and tied it tightly with a rope to prevent it from leaking out.

Ye Yaodong caught a few for lunch and poured out half of the rest. Before lunch, he prepared to send it to his father-in-law and let him distribute it himself.

After lunch, he rushed to Director Chen's house with half a bucket of squid and a jar of squid eggs.

It was just past lunchtime, but not yet time to go to work. The couple were still resting at home. They were all smiling when they saw Ye Yaodong coming to their house with something.

Jin Yuzhi smiled and said, "Why did you bring something again? I told you not to bring anything next time. I distributed a little bit of the sack of kelp to every household last time. There is still a lot left at home. It will take a long time to eat. Don't bring things every time. We can't finish it at all."

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. It won't go bad anyway. Eat it slowly." Ye Yaodong walked in with the things and said as he walked.

"Today, the squid must be eaten while it is fresh, so I didn't dare to take more. You have a refrigerator, but it can only be kept for a few days. Wait a few days for the squid to be dried out. Then I will give you the dried ones. This can be kept for a longer time."

Director Chen also smiled and said, "Don't take it. We couldn't finish what we took last year, so we gave it to the children to take away during the Chinese New Year."

"That doesn't matter. It's okay as long as it's not wasted. This jar is pickled squid eggs. It was pickled the night before yesterday. It's not edible yet. It needs to be kept for a while. It's salty and can be steamed with rice."

"Don't take it next time. You take so many things every time you come. I adopted a godson, and the whole family building got it."

"That's good. You must be the most popular person in this family building now."

Jin Yuzhi said, "Haha, don't say it, it's true. I just moved here last year and I don't know my neighbors well. At most, I would say a few polite words to the neighbors. Now whoever meets me, I can be warm and friendly. He greeted us and sent us this or that dish every day, so we don't have to buy food anymore."

"That's great. Isn't the situation improved all of a sudden? Anyway, it's not worth much."

"You have to sell these things for money..."

"It doesn't matter. Just keep them. They are common things. You don't have to spend money to buy them. I have something to ask my godfather."

Ye Yaodong put down the things and asked about their health. After the greetings, he asked directly: "Does the navy have any discarded diving equipment? Or diving suits or something?"

It was past lunch time and there was not much time left before work. He had to say whatever he wanted to say.

Director Chen looked at him in surprise, "Why do you want this?"

"Isn't this a proposal submitted some time ago? Visited the institute and applied for a species application report suitable for local breeding?"

"I found some abalone growing on our reef. I wanted to catch them, but I didn't have the ability to go too deep."

"You know, ordinary people can only go to the bottom of the water to a limited depth, and they can't stay long. They have to use tools, otherwise abalone wouldn't be so expensive."

"I'm thinking of catching some abalone. When the time comes, after you meet and approve it, when we send people to visit the institute, we can bring some gifts to the institute so that they can see if our place is suitable for breeding. abalone."

"Abalone is a high-end product. If it can be cultured well, it will definitely generate income for the economy."

This is also the reason he made up in advance. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why he needs diving equipment? This must have been taken to the bottom of the sea.

It would be better to tell the truth, which would be more credible, and there must be a legitimate reason for using the back door to reduce Director Chen's embarrassment.

"Your reason is good, but the things in this army belong to the state. It's not easy for you to get it. It's already a different industry for me, and the city's control will be stricter."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Is it okay to borrow it? Borrow two sets and pay them back in a few months?"

Director Chen pondered for a moment, "Borrowing is relatively simple. There are no special circumstances. As long as you can borrow it, you can borrow it for how long. The prerequisite is that you can borrow it. I will try it first. If there is any news, I will call your village. Call you."

He was overjoyed, as long as he was willing to give it a try, if he couldn't borrow it, forget it, and there would be no loss for him.

"Okay, it's best if you can borrow it. If you can't borrow it, it's okay. I won't embarrass you."

"I'll try to ask."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong told them that Mazu's birthday was coming soon and a opera would start in the village in the next two days. He asked them if they were free and invited them to stay at home for a few days.

However, the couple refused, saying that their whole family was now busy with the flood season, so they would not go over to cause trouble, and they had to go to work every day, with no holidays and no time to rest.

In addition, Director Chen also said that he has been holding meetings non-stop in the past few days, all of which were discussing breeding matters, and he couldn't leave.

They said they were not free, so he didn't force it. Anyway, he did his best and invited them warmly.

When it was almost time to go to work, Ye Yaodong followed them out, and then he returned to the factory.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around in the afternoon, he asked Lin's father and mother to close the store. He called them, Wang Jianxin, Huang Mei, Wang Guangliang and others to a place, and told them that Huang Mei would remember them from now on. account.

Ask Lin's father to hand over all the accounting work at hand to Huang Mei, and reimburse Huang Mei every day. Then, he must rely on the receipt for reimbursement. If there is no receipt, he will handwrite it to Huang Mei.

When Huang Mei asked Lin's father to pay money, she had to sign before she could receive the money. After receiving the money, she would give it to the person who paid the bill based on the reimbursement form.

Of course, if there are any problems, let them adjust it themselves. If they can't adjust it, call him or ask Aqing.

Now in this city, only the shop under the care of his father-in-law is making money, and everything else is spent money.

"Our factory is so big now, and the daily expenses are not small. All entries and exits must be accounted for, and we must standardize it. Although the procedures are a bit troublesome, we can ensure that there will be no mistakes in the future."

"State-owned and state-owned enterprises have their own rules and regulations. Our factory is now well-established and has a business license. Of course, we must also have a set of operating systems."

"In the future, it will definitely get better and better. You are all the first batch of employees. I will definitely not treat you badly. The factory will prosper in the future, and you are also old people."

"To be honest, your current monthly salary is no worse than that of a state-owned factory. Our schedules are flexible and we are all our own people. We don't have so many twists and turns. We also take care of food, food and housing. Isn't it better than ordinary workers?"

They all agreed.

"Yes, I used to envy workers, but now I won't even join a factory as a worker..."

"Hehe, it must be better here..."

Ye Yaodong said: "So you all work hard, spend more time on your work, and don't think wrongly. In a few months, people from the village here will definitely be recruited to work in the factory, and you will have to help more. Watch it."

Filtering fish sauce is also a complicated and laborious task. With such a large production here, someone will definitely have to be hired.

Now that the division of labor is clear, he doesn't want to recruit any more people from his family. When the time comes, eating and drinking will be a problem for a large group of people.

It was easier to recruit people from nearby villages and let them go home for food and accommodation. Moreover, he had made a big deal with the village chief before buying this land, so he had to cash it in no matter what.

Ye Yaodong followed the old rules and drew cakes for them again and encouraged them before letting them go about their work, leaving only Father Lin and Huang Mei.

He had to check the accounts with Father Lin first, settle the recent accounts and put them away.

Then let Lin's father explain to Huang Mei what accounts he has recently made, and then explain and copy the accounts he made to Huang Mei.

After all, even if he had been reading the accounts made by Father Lin for two or three years, he still had to wait for him to explain them and make notes before he could understand them.

They were busy with this work until dusk, during which time they had dinner and continued.

The next day, Ye Yaodong drove the tractor back, taking along the workers who had been waiting for the day off.

Everything was in order at home, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

It was only noon when he got home, and his father hadn't come back yet and was still at sea.

He moved a stool and sat in the workshop, listening to the gossips of the old aunts, and digging into the pile of juvenile barnacles he brought back the day before yesterday.

It looked like half of it was left, and it was all washed and cooked.

Lin Xiuqing didn't hire anyone to do the work. The old aunts in the workshop didn't even have time to kill the fish. She and Dongqing slowly dug out the shelled fish. Occasionally, people who had no work at hand would bring a stool over to work together. .

The children at home would be called over to help after school.

Anyway, it won't go bad if you don't wash it. It doesn't matter if you put it in a cool place for two days.

After Lin Xiuqing asked him about his situation in the city, he changed the subject.

"A Dong, the order you brought back from the provincial capital last month is about to be delivered, and the goods at home are almost ready."

"Then I'll call and ask later to see if it's okay to deliver the goods in advance. I'll set a time and send them all in one trip."

"Well, while you are at home during this period, send it as soon as possible."

"good."

Just when he was about to say something, he saw a series of children running past the workshop door.

"Hey hey hey..."

As soon as he stood up and shouted, the figure had disappeared.

"Running so fast, why are you going?"

Lin Xiuqing knew what they were going for without raising her eyes.

"Have you gone to see those cherry trees? Every day after school, the first thing you do is check to see if the cherries are ripe. You check them eight hundred times a day. They pick the ones that are slightly red, and they don't mind the sourness. They just follow them. They said the time has not come yet and it will take another two days, but I don’t believe anyone.”

"If they can come so diligently to see me when I'm old, I will be like Amitabha."

"It's a beautiful thought. When you're old, do you think it's some kind of hot cake? We don't live together. All year round, it would be nice to come to see you a few times during the New Year and energy saving. There are people who live in the same village and haven't even visited my house all year."

This is true.

His eldest uncle and second uncle never came to see the old lady a few times.

Sometimes I would talk to him or his father about serious matters, or just like before, I would come to my door every three days to ask him not to forget his roots, not to be able to write two characters in one stroke, and to ask him to take care of his own people...

In my previous life, I heard someone say that if you have an inheritance when you are old, your children and grandchildren will be eager to kick off your legs early so that you can inherit the inheritance.

If you have a pension every month, you can provide it like an ancestor, and you can be as filial as you want.

Lying half-dead on the hospital bed, you can hang on indefinitely. As long as you have a breath, you have to spend all your energy hanging on it.

According to the old man, raising them is more profitable than raising pigs.

"It's over, then I will have to be cursed every day before I live to be old?"

"ah?"

"nothing."

"What do you think about every day? You talk nonsense, who wants to curse you? You are not so hated, are you?"

"It's hard to say, I'm not RMB, how can I still be loved by everyone?"

"Then let's be careful and keep them alert at night. It happened to be Mazu's birthday recently, and people from other villages are running into our village. If there are too many people, there will be chaos. I have to tell them that they have to take shifts. Two people in line, especially at night.”

Lin Xiuqing had already lost her mind and couldn't sit still.

"I'm going to tell them now and ask them to schedule a shift today and don't take any rest for the next few days. We'll arrange a rest after the birthday is over."

She immediately went to talk to the workers.

"What's the rush? Wait for me." Ye Yaodong also followed.

………

Mazu’s birthday lasted for six days before it ended.

During these six days, their workshop was temporarily suspended so that the women could have time to watch the show.

Anyway, these people work on a per-point basis, not on a monthly basis, so there is no loss to Ye Yaodong.

At the same time, the workers in the workshop do not need to do other work. They only need to take turns patrolling around the workshop and not let anyone with bad intentions or petty thieves approach.

This year’s Mazu’s birthday was not specially held in a grand manner, but the enthusiasm of the villagers has not diminished, and this year there are also villagers from nearby villages participating, making it even more lively.

This grand event only occurs once a year, and of course it creates a sensation in the town.

However, Ye Yaodong thought that next year there would be a grand ceremony for Mazu to ascend to a thousand years.

In my previous life, it seemed that the town government came forward to organize it. Various overseas Chinese and Taiwanese businessmen sponsored it. The event was extremely grand, and even reporters came to interview and record it.

And he also heard that ascension ceremonies were being held all over the province, not just in their local area, but also in coastal areas including Southeast Asia and the Gulf.

Because Mazu is a widely spread folk belief in coastal areas.

According to historical records, Mazu (Lin Mo) lived approximately from 960 to 987 AD. Calculated according to this time period, Mazu's ascension to the millennium was indeed in 1987.

In 2009, it was actually a grand event because it was listed as the first intangible cultural heritage in the faith and customs category by the United Nations.

He was thinking about whether he could make a lot of money in the second half of next year, just in time to reshape his golden body during Mazu's Millennium Ceremony next year.

Thinking about it, he was a little excited.

Now he was no longer an unknown person. He had the city leaders as his backers and the village to protect him. Moreover, he had been doing things that were beneficial to the collective. He had also become famous, appeared in newspapers, and was an active member of the party.

Rebuilding the golden statue of Mazu cost a lot of money, so he should not be afraid that the local government would give him some troubles.

However, the idea was good now, and we would talk about it later.

He did not bring this out to Aqing. Things that did not exist were just empty talk. He had to make money first before talking about this.

However, he felt that the income in the second half of the year would definitely be higher than that in the first half of the year. Now it was the squid season, and it would be the jellyfish season in a while. If he could get diving equipment, he would go to catch sea urchins in advance.

There was also a freshwater boat that could be put into use, and the two boats that he had partnered with Azheng and Xiaoxiao before the New Year could be handed over.

There was also a lighter factory. Fang Jingfu used all the money he earned last year to expand, and the new factory was established at the beginning of the year.

He went there several times in the past two months. The scale has become very large. All the machines are in place. Now it is the largest lighter factory in Vancouver, and it has begun to sell overseas. The dividends at the end of the year will definitely be considerable.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited again.

Maybe after the Chinese New Year this year, his assets will double again.

Then it is not a problem to reshape the golden body of Mazu. At that time, he can call on overseas Chinese and Taiwanese businessmen to invest together.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep because of thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. He sat up in excitement.

Seeing him sitting there in the middle of the night, Lin Xiuqing thought he was having a nightmare, so she sat up and patted his back to comfort him.

Who knew that he was grinning and almost got scared.

"What are you doing? What are you laughing at in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, am I laughing?" Ye Yaodong touched his cheek, as if he was laughing.

Lin Xiuqing saw him smile again, shuddered, and felt a little scared, but still reached out to touch his forehead.

"Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?"
