Chapter 484 Departing From the Junction of Zhejiang and Fujian

Call Aguang and his father?

It seems to work!

They first went to check the situation. If it was really the jellyfish flood season, and the situation there was good and they could make money, Dongzi could call them back to inform them.

Ye Yaohua thought for a moment and was no longer impatient.

But Ye Yaopeng said: "What if they don't go? Then they have to go all the way to the junction of the two provinces. They may not go."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "If they don't go, there's nothing they can do. Then you can see for yourselves. I have to send a shipment there. If it really hits the flood season, then I will stay there for two months. Dad must follow me and protect me."

Father Ye glanced at him, "You're the only one who messes around all day and still travels all the way to deliver goods..."

"Where will the money come from if I don't work hard? When I make money, you won't say that. Delivering goods all the way is not that big of a deal. A lot of people want to be truck drivers and drive long distances. It's a good life." .”

Ye Yaodong looked at his two brothers again, "What does it matter if you can make money and run farther? Anyway, if you want to be safer, then watch it later, or discuss it tomorrow. I will set off early the day after tomorrow, so don't worry about it now. Come on, help me pickle these jellyfish first."

Father Ye agreed, "That's right, let's work first. It's almost dark. Let's eat after work and talk about it tomorrow."

This trip has to go so far, who knows if I can make money? If he were the boss, his first reaction would be to refuse. If he doesn't fish on his own land and fishes on other people's land, who knows whether it will work.

He didn't dare to persuade his two sons to follow him together. If Dongzi hadn't messed with this, he wouldn't have wanted to follow him.

The two brothers had no choice but to put this matter aside and finish their work first, and then discuss it when they get back.

Thousands of kilograms of jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins all need to be wrapped in salt, so it is not that fast to cook, but jellyfish blood and seaweed brains are faster to cook. After all, the quantities of these two are relatively small, and it is easy to cook. It can be picked up after boiling.

After they finished working on Jellyfish Blood and Jellyfish Head, they ate first. After eating, everyone continued working together. Even Ye Mu came over to work together.

Of course, Ye Yaodong was inevitably scolded again.

Mother Ye was thinking casually while working, "What's wrong with fishing? You have to travel so far to get something no one wants..."

"Where did you learn how to kill this thing? How much money can you make..."

"It's hard to say whether that person is trustworthy or not. He actually plans to follow someone like this..."

…

Ye Yaodong always pretended that he didn't hear anything. It went in with one ear and out with the other. Just get used to it.

The old lady couldn't listen anymore, "Say less, aren't you thirsty? Take it all back, just help. You are such a big man, and you are not a child. Dongzi is also very serious about his work. How can this be done?" It’s nothing to let him fiddle with things that are sold for money.”

"If you don't give it away for sale, why should you throw it into your hands? Neither father nor son are fools. They won't be deceived. If you have the time to talk about it, hurry up and do more. Just finish it. You can go back after you finish it. , out of sight but out of mind.”

Mother Ye curled her lips and continued to do it a little more. After doing it, she turned her back and looked at her. She was really considerate of her.

"I can't even say it anymore? If he were more down-to-earth like his eldest and second brothers, I wouldn't have to worry about him. Going to work every day is enough for me, and I also have to help him modify the fishing nets. Who knows if I can make money? It’s so troublesome…”

"Aren't you happy? The class you are currently in is so prestigious. Dongzi asked you to come here. His wife is still taking care of the children at home. Just being filial to you makes you beautiful, and you still do so much all day long. Opinion."

Ye was speechless. Seeing the old lady wanting to say something more, but suddenly not knowing how to refute, Ye Yaodong looked happy and had no choice but to give him a fierce look.

Ye Yaodong touched his nose and walked to the side, farther away from his mother.

The whole family worked until after nine o'clock in the evening to pickle all the jellyfish and tie the mouths of the nylon bags, and then transported the baskets to the old house for storage.

They had to be stored in a cool place. There were too many of them and they couldn't fit them in their house. If they were left outside in direct sunlight for a day, they would be damaged, so they had to take them to the old house.

Fortunately, they have an old house with several empty rooms where they can store their things.

But it was inevitable that his mother would nag her again, so his father didn't say anything more, and instead refuted his mother.

"Okay, I've been listening to you talking non-stop. If you don't put these in the old house, wouldn't it be bad to put them at the door? I've been working for a long time and just let them go to waste. Are you willing to let them go to waste? Are you willing? I’ve done all the things to talk about, but you’re the only one who talks the most.”

"Every one of you took the wrong medicine. Why don't you find a mute after all this fussing and saying that you won't let anyone talk about it?"

Father Ye rolled his eyes at her, "No one else said anything, you just kept talking, talking about your old home to your new home, your new home to your old home, endlessly..."

"If I don't talk about him, who will talk about him? An old man has been spoiled by him since he was a child, and now his wife can't control him. How can a brother-in-law talk about him? You have changed too, and you still listen to him, so I'm not the same The mother-in-law, tell me more about him, otherwise I will make some money, my heart will swell, and I will not be the bad guy."

"Is it useful? I can listen to you..."

"Then don't say it, right? Let him go, let him do whatever he wants."

"Okay, okay. Didn't I follow him all the time and watch him? It's only a few hours' boat ride. This is much more convenient than taking a car. Don't be wordy at night. Just go to bed after carrying him."

Ye Mu grumbled a few times unwillingly...

The brothers and sisters didn't say anything. It was not suitable for them to express their opinions, and they were paid for helping with the work.

Ye Yaodong was also annoyed that his mother kept talking. Fortunately, the old lady suppressed her before, and now his father suppressed her. Fortunately, he went to work during the day, so he could listen less.

After returning home, he asked Ah Qing to give his two brothers and sisters-in-law their wages, which were calculated as normal workers' wages anyway.

Ah Qing took the jar in her hand and shook it. There was only a few tinkling sounds. She looked at him helplessly, "You spend money as fast as you make money."

Ye Yaodong hugged her from behind and said with a smile: "This is called the jingle of poverty. A lot of money will make no sound, and it will just clatter when you count it~"

Lin Xiuqing turned her head and glanced sideways at him, but she managed to be amused by him.

Seeing that she no longer frowned, Ye Yaodong secretly kissed her and said, "There's nothing to worry about. Men have to fight hard. Just take care of me at home and wait for me to make money to fill your jar."

Lin Xiuqing put the jar on the table, turned around and said seriously: "It's easy to say, no one can say accurately about the sea, and if you are not familiar with the place, you can't speak in a reasonable way. How can anyone fish in our local area?" It comes easy.”

"According to what you say, fishermen won't have to go far and can only fish near their homes? Then there will be no fishing boats in the deep sea, so there will be an overflow of fish? Then how come the method of catching yellow croaker by beating the drum is spread from Guangdong Province to Fujian Province, Fujian Province spread to Zhejiang Province, and Zhejiang Province spread all the way north?"

"That's different..."

"Don't worry about me. I'll ask the two of you to go with me tomorrow. The sea area doesn't belong to anyone. Let's hunt our own honestly and don't conflict with others."

"Then who are you going to call? I don't know how many days we have to go."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and decided that it would be better to find one of his own. "Let dad ask some old cousins ​​tomorrow to see who is willing to follow."

"Well, I don't know how much it can be sold for, considering it has to travel so far."

"We'll know when the time comes. Maybe it's an opportunity to make a fortune?"

At this point, Lin Xiuqing said nothing. She packed up all his clothes the next day, collected all the dried jellyfish blood, and tied it up in nylon bags.

Seeing that the quantity was quite large, Ye Yaodong borrowed a scale. He weighed it and found that it weighed 32 kilograms and 6 taels. He made a calculation in his mind. With just this amount, he estimated that he would be able to recover his money and make another profit.

Lin Xiuqing was also counting there, "This is equivalent to 300 pounds of jellyfish producing one pound of jellyfish blood? It's quite a little."

"Otherwise, how can we say this is the most valuable? However, originally it was just a layer of skin scraped off the jellyfish umbrella. It is normal for the amount to be less after it is dried."

"I also put the jellyfish brains in nylon bags for you. I put ice cubes in the big wooden barrel. It should be able to keep them fresh for a day."

"Um."

After everything was prepared, he bought two large barrels of diesel in advance and put them on the boat. He checked inside and outside again before he felt relieved.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua still can't agree. Not only is Ye Yaopeng more conservative and wants to be safe but doesn't want to take risks, even their wives said that they should let their father and Ye Yaodong go and have a look first, and then they can go if they can make money. Not too late either.

Ye Yaohua was powerless. He could not defeat the others by himself, and he was not that stubborn. He could only compromise, wait and see, and wait for them to call.

Ye Yaodong didn't care after knowing it. Anyway, he had already called the good people and planned to set off at two o'clock in the morning. Anyway, it was early in the morning, and it would be dawn at half past four.

His father called two cousins ​​from his aunt's family, and one was Ye Yaosheng, his cousin from his second uncle's family. They happened to be at home, and having to travel so far away, one more was not too much.

At around one o'clock in the morning, everyone got up one after another and went to the old house to carry jellyfish. At this point, the pier was still quiet and there were no people there. It took three carts four or five times to transport all the jellyfish onto the boat.

Lin Xiuqing, the old lady and Ye Mu all got up specially to see him off.

When the old lady saw that they had all moved their things, she took Ye Yaodong's hand and warned her uneasily: "When you arrive, remember to find a place to call back to report that you are safe, okay? If you have anything to do, listen to your father and don't do it yourself. Make the decision. After all, your father is your father and has plenty of experience. There are two others out there, so don’t quarrel. If you have anything to say, talk it over..."

She kept nagging for a while, and when she saw Father Ye on the boat urging her, she had to let go.

"Hey, remember to go early and come back early. If you make money, come back. If you can't make money, you should come back early."

"I know, okay, you go back. I told you not to come out at night. If you don't listen, just tell me at home and run out." After Ye Yaodong said this, he waved to them and hurriedly boarded the boat.

The three women watched on the shore as the bow of the boat slowly turned around and sailed slowly away from the shore.

We set off around two o'clock. If the wind goes smoothly, it only takes seven or eight hours to get there, probably less than noon. This also avoids the sun's hottest time at noon.

After all, the black awning on the ship cannot move with the movement of the sun. Some parts will always be exposed. If it is exposed to the sun for too long, it may break. He has calculated the time carefully.

The boat was filled with baskets and stacked on top of each other. A few grown men could only stand in the corners, but that didn't matter.

Ye Yaodong also stopped by the town to pick up Chen Jianian. Anyway, he was on his way and made an appointment in advance, so he picked him up and left directly.

The fishing boat was swaying on the sea, and he was the only boat sailing on the sea in the dark night. What he could hear was the clicking sound of the machine, and the sound of the roof above his head being blown by the sea breeze.

At the beginning, Ye Yaodong was still in charge of the boat. Until daybreak, Ye's father felt that he had sailed beyond the limits of their city and had arrived in the next city, so he took over the sailing job.

He felt that Ye Yaodong was still immature, so he had to come over to feel at ease over long distances.
