Chapter 562 Going Out to Receive the Goods
The two elder brothers and their neighbors didn't sell much goods during this period, and each family only sold 20 or 30 kilograms at most. Adding in the consumption over the past few days, Ye Yaodong only collected 120 kilograms for the combined households.
It will take a few days for the goods they sold yesterday to be ready, and several of their families are just a few brothers working together on the same boat. When the quantity is divided, there is not much for each family.
After Lin Xiuqing calculated the money and gave it to her two sisters-in-law and the neighbor sisters-in-law, they were still reluctant to part with her.
Everyone knows how to settle accounts in their minds. Selling dried food is much more profitable than selling fresh food.
Although it takes a little more effort, as long as they can make money, what does it matter if they country people have to put in a little more effort and go through a few more procedures? The least valuable thing is their labor.
After everyone took the money, they were still talking there and were reluctant to leave.
Sister-in-law Ye Er said with a smile: "It's only over 100 kilograms here. Is the quantity enough? If not, my mother's family still has..."
Sister-in-law Ye also quickly said: "My mother's brother's family also has them..."
"Our brothers also have..."
"How did things get so fast for you? When your family came back from the city the day before yesterday, there was more than half of it left that couldn't be sold. Today, you don't even have enough to sell, and you have to collect goods from everyone?"
"Yeah, the day before yesterday, everyone was still upset that they had no choice but to listen to the wind. They thought your family was making a lot of money, so they kept all the goods to sell, but it turned out that you couldn't sell them, and there were so many left. At that time, I was still patting my thighs and regretting it, thinking that I couldn't sell it and threw it away. Now I see that the folks are right? You have made a lot of money!"
"Did you hold anything back?"
"Why didn't my fellow villagers say something in advance the day before yesterday? Otherwise, we would have left a little more goods yesterday. I don't know if today's goods would be late. Have you returned to the dock?"
Lin Xiuqing listened to everyone's jokes and complaints, and quickly explained with a smile, "Sisters-in-law were joking, and you also said that things have become so fast all of a sudden. We didn't know that someone suddenly wanted so much goods. We originally thought that this It took a long time to set up the stall, and we didn’t know if we would sell out all the food. It almost worried us to death.”
"It's good now. Suddenly there is a boss who wants me. I don't have enough to sell. If I had known earlier, we would have sunbathed a little more. If we didn't save enough to sell, we would have to charge the villagers..."
A sister-in-law suddenly became anxious and said, "Hey, it doesn't matter. We all have dried fish in each house. If you don't have enough, feel free to collect it from us. We at the beach don't have anything else at home. Whose house is still short of dried fish?"
"That's right, if you don't have enough at home, just come and ask us and we will put in more sunshine tomorrow..."
"Do you want more tomorrow?"
Everyone is looking forward to them hoping to make more money, and no one wants to let it go.
Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye were not in a hurry, they just listened there. The three brothers had already agreed last night that all the dried fish they would be drying would be sold to Adong. They could sell it for a lot more money and save trouble. .
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I don't know about this. Who knows when they will need it? You can either figure it out and put some in the sun and put it there? If we need it, we will ask you to collect it. If we don't need it, you can keep some for yourself. also."
"If you eat it yourself, how much can you keep..."
"Oh, this is not accurate, and we don't dare to expose it too much..."
Ye Yaodong was tying the sacks and carrying the dried fish into the house. When he came out, he heard their conversation and he said something.
"I dare not give you a guarantee! Who knows if someone will want it later? What if the product is too bad and they don't want it? If the quality is higher, they might want it."
"We picked out all the ones when they were delivered. They must be good, but we can't sell the bad ones to others. We will keep the bad ones and eat them at home."
"Yes, people spend money to buy them. We can't give bad things to others. We must get good and beautiful things. We will eat the bad things at home."
Ye Yaodong will not make promises to everyone. Who knows how many times the number of troops will be? He can't let the soldiers eat dried fish all day long. If people want it, he will take it. If they don't want it, he will sell it for retail.
Anyway, he won't lose money, and with the goods from his eldest and second brothers, it's almost enough for him to sell.
"So you all can make up your own mind. I'm not sure whether I'll collect it from here, and I can't say for sure that I'll let you post more. I'm not making a lot of money again, as I told you. It’s hard-earned money, but I don’t dare to promise it, and I can’t afford to pay it back.”
Everyone looked at each other and whispered.
"Then it's hard to say whether we should get more sun exposure..."
"You can figure it out yourself..."
Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but said, "Oh, by the way, I haven't said what I asked before. Do you still want it? If so, I will go to my parents' house and get it..."
"Yes, several of my brothers' families have them..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "There's still a lot to be desired..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at her and interrupted her directly, "It's true that it's still a little short of the mark, but we have to ask our relatives and friends first. Just now we just thought that we are all neighbors and we must take care of it. I will collect yours first. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We have good relations with the folks in our big hometown, so we must take care of them first."
This was said beautifully, and everyone felt extremely comfortable when they heard it.
"Yes, yes, you have to take care of your relatives first..."
"Yes, if you accept relatives first..."
Everyone nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces.
Ye Yaodong added: "I will ask my relatives later. If the quantity is not enough, I will tell my sisters-in-law. If I want to collect more next time, I will also inform you."
"Okay, okay, just ask if you need anything."
"Yes, let's dry it a little more and leave it there. It won't break anyway. Just tell us if you need it."
The couple nodded and said some kind words.
Everyone walked out as they talked, everyone had to go home and cook.
After Lin Xiuqing and others left, she said: "You are so thoughtful. I almost forgot. You should ask your relatives and friends first. Otherwise, everyone will gossip behind their backs again. If you have money, don't give it to your relatives first and give it to outsiders." Earn whatever you want."
"These people don't have many pounds on their hands. They are scattered and troublesome. They just want to take care of the neighbors. I will go to Uncle Lin's place to take a look later. Uncle Lin kept a lot before, so there must be a lot at home."
Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "Okay, then you guys work first. If the quantity is not enough, tell us and we will go home and cook dinner."
"good."
After they left, Lin Xiuqing hesitated and whispered: "Sister-in-law, will the second sister-in-law weigh all the goods from her natal family, put them in her own house, and then sell them to us together? Let her natal family have more goods?" Make some money?"
"It would be okay if it was just my natal family. What I am afraid of is that all the seven aunts and eight aunts will take it and put it in my own house, and then sell it to us. There are too many, and we are afraid that there will be too much to sell, but we have already put it away. If you go out and give it to the eldest and second brothers, it’s hard to take it back.”
"Uh... I'm really not sure..." Ye Yaodong frowned and immediately relaxed.
"My parents' family only has a small wooden boat, and they only net trash fish. There aren't that many of them, and I don't want that many trash fish. The dried fish must be of the same kind to sell, and the dried fish is just incidental." "
"When the time comes, we collect it two or three times. If there are too many trash fish, just say that it is easier to sell the same variety and not so many trash fish. It is also a fact that fresh ones are not valuable and there is no cost."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "It's up to you, I don't understand this either."
"Well, let's not assume that he hasn't shown up yet. I'll go to Uncle Lin's house to see if he's back."
It was too slow to collect the scattered dozens or twenty kilograms. Taking care of relatives and so on, of course, it only sounds nice, but you have to consider saving yourself some trouble first.
Moreover, Uncle Lin has a good relationship with his father and treats him well. He lent him the rolling wheel for more than half a year last year.
Since you want to receive the goods, you must first ask them if they want to sell it. If you have money, of course you can earn it for them first.
Lin Xiuqing watched him go out with empty hands, and quickly stopped him, "Why don't you just bring the scale with you? It's already four o'clock now. If Uncle Lin hasn't come back yet, you can also weigh it first. Whether to sell it or not, wait. He'll ask again when he comes back. I know how many kilograms it is, and then I go to my relatives to calculate and collect it, so I don't waste time."
"also."
He went back and took the large and small scales with him, and also pushed the cart on the way, so that he could receive them wherever he went and save the burden of carrying them.
It's cold, and it gets dark after five o'clock. It's already four o'clock now, and he still has to collect more than 500 kilograms. He doesn't know how long it will take to collect while picking.
"My parents will come over for dinner later. Remember to ask them to help me after dinner. I will go to Uncle Lin's first, then to A Guang's, A Zheng's and Xiao Xiao's, and finally to a few aunts and uncles."
"knew."
It's a cold day and it's not dark yet, but except for some children running and jumping who are not afraid of the cold, there are no people on the roads in the village. Those children all have sniffles and are still running around and playing.
Occasionally, he would hear a few desperate screams, calling his children to go home for dinner. He would yell and curse at the same time. After catching someone, he would grab the clothes by the shoulders and drag the person into the house with curses...
