Chapter 968 Transporting Fish Sauce (7200 Words)

This turtle and turtle are both collectively called turtles, and they lay dozens of eggs in a clutch. Ye Yaodong wanted to see if it could lay eggs, but Ye Xiaoxi was not allowed to touch it.

As a result, the father and daughter squatted there and watched for a while, but no more movement could be seen.

"Can't lay any eggs? Don't these turtles always lay twenty or thirty eggs? Turtles can lay seventy or eighty eggs at a time. Why does this one only lay one?"

The old lady smiled and said: "It's not big enough, and the weather is cold now. It's not the time for it to lay eggs. It should have laid eggs in the summer. There is nothing for it to eat, so it may have been delayed until now."

"Are these eggs edible?"

"If you can eat it, of course you can eat it. I'll cook it for each person to take a bite at night."

Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, keep it. If I bring the two children back and find out that the turtle laid an egg and it was boiled, I will cry to death, and I will be asked to pay compensation. Where can I lay an egg for him?"

"Eat, eat... dad... bastard... eat, eat..."

"Why do I think you are scolding me, stinky girl, don't be so greedy, I will give you egg custard later. If you eat this precious egg, your brother will beat you."

She wrinkled her face and said loudly: "You can beat me!"

Ye Yaodong patted her little head and said, "You are so fierce. Watch this egg. Don't lose it, and don't reach out to pick it up. Otherwise, you will be bitten by a turtle later and your fingers will be broken. I will wander around."

The last words were to the old lady.

The old lady responded quickly, "You go about your business while I watch her. I'll give her a straw to poke and play with. It's soft and she won't be afraid of breaking the egg."

"Ah, yes...I'm going to transport straw."

The old lady reminded him, otherwise he would forget what he was going to do.

After saying that, he hurriedly pushed the cart out. Xiaoxiao's family had land. The straw in his open space was piled up like a yurt. He asked him if he wanted some and went to push the cart back.

The wind picked up today, and all the young people in the village didn't go out to sea. They couldn't gather together to play cards in the early morning. Most of them were at home. When he went, Xiao Xiaodu was still lying on the bed comfortably and didn't get up.

Then he hurriedly got up and went to move the straw with him.

“Is your fish sauce ready for sale?”

"Take a cart to the city tomorrow and try it first. I don't know what the situation will be. If you want to eat it, go to my place to get a bottle later."

"I'll go get it later and collect all the empty bottles at home and bring them over."

"As for that? Just go and take a shot at any time after eating."

"Oh, it's different. These words sound like a wealthy person. It's really uncomfortable. It's a pity that fish sauce can't be drunk as a soda drink. Otherwise, I won't have to buy drinks in this life."

"Then you won't have to buy fish sauce in this life."

"That's much worse. If it's soda, I can let my whole family open it and drink it as water every day. Fish sauce can't be drank as water every day. One bottle can be boiled for a month or two."

Ye Yaodong curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He only urged him to work, "Move more and stack it higher."

"Your fish sauce costs a lot of money, right? I see those big wooden barrels. They are piled up in a row at the corner of your workshop. In the past few days, the big barrels have been brought in one truck after another. If you build a wall on the land you just bought and add those workers, you will have to spend thousands of dollars. Can you make it back?"

"You have to have confidence in me. It's hard to say in the short term, but in the long term you can definitely make it back."

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to talk too much. After all, it had just been shipped to the city, and the sale had to go through a process. There must have been a window period at the beginning, and not many people were interested.

You have to get familiar with it once, then slowly repurchase it, and then build your reputation.

However, he also planned to wait for the first batch to be delivered to the city and sell it slowly before contacting Boss Zhou.

He asked for one or two thousand kilograms intermittently, sometimes there was no sound, and sometimes he suddenly appeared and asked for four or five thousand kilograms. However, when he wanted so much goods before, his inventory was not so tight at that time. many.

There has been no sound for two months recently. I don’t know if they are getting other goods. I saw a lot of fabrics in their warehouse before. I guess dried fish are just small things and they are not noticed. They are just By the way.

Alas, he still has to rely on the small wholesale shop in his city. Even though the shop is small, the traffic around it is not small, and the people coming and going are all vendors. The accumulation over time is very impressive.

After delivering the goods in the market tomorrow, I will keep two cylinders and send them to the troops for free.

Throughout the year, the troops have been steadily receiving one or two thousand kilograms every one or two months, and all kinds of dried fish are delivered in turn.

However, the back of the army prefers shrimps. Unfortunately, the Harvest went to replenish jellyfish. They were out of stock for a long time, but they are now available.

But it was just barely, shrimps were more popular than dried fish, and they were often out of stock. After all, the Harvest was not stable when it went to sea, and the amount it could bring back was limited. After the year, when his ship is acquired, there should be no shortage.

"How long will it last? If it takes several years, then you might as well just dry all kinds of dried fish, expand sales, and make money faster. If you don't make money, then don't bother."

"Sell and see first. Anyway, everything has fermented. Let's take a look at the sales situation in the two months before and after. We have done everything, but we have to sell it first."

Anyway, the capital has been spent, and everything needed is almost ready. Now the fish sauce is filled in a large tank, and the wooden barrels are freed up. When Uncle Pei comes back, there will be containers to continue fermentation.

If the sales results in the past two months are good, we will order more oversized water tanks. The open-air fermentation will be faster, and the wooden barrels will be moved indoors.

The follow-up costs don't need to be that much, most of them have already been spent, and he has already forgotten it.

There are about 20 to 30 tons here, and a kilogram can be sold wholesale for 10 cents, which can be sold for about 4 to 6,000 yuan. As long as these are emptied, all his capital will be returned, and the subsequent fermentation will be a net profit.

If this batch is sold out within a few months, if it is sold out within half a year, it will be equivalent to him making tens of thousands of dollars just selling fish sauce in the second half of the year. After all, there will be one more boat after the year, and the catch volume will be multiplied by 2. Of course, the output must be multiplied by 2, and the profit will of course be twice that of the first half of the year.

A small workshop can earn a household of 10,000 yuan in half a year, which is already quite impressive.

Xiaoxiao didn't have anything to say after hearing what he said, "Okay, since you've done everything, you have to sell the goods slowly first."

"That's it. I'll push this car back first, and then come back later to pull another car."

"Let me walk back with you and let's chat. Why don't you drive your tractor over here and just pull it back without having to push it yourself."

"It doesn't need oil. It's more expensive to raise it than to raise it for me. Just come here to transport straw and drive a tractor. What else do you do? If my family finds out, I will be scolded."

"Tch, I originally bought it for work."

"There's no need to pull out straws. What's the point of killing a chicken?"

Xiaoxiao walked beside him, chatting as he walked, "I haven't seen you going out to sea during this period. The few times I met you, it was your father who went there. You seemed a little happy."

"Don't be envious, envy won't come. I have to pay close attention to whoever has a lot of property in my family recently. My father is idle anyway, and he can't stay idle, but I plan to ask him to take a break early for the New Year, that's all. It’s only one month until the New Year.”

"Then let your father rest early for the New Year, why not just rent the boat in advance? Anyway, it is empty there, and your father has rested, so why not let someone else drive the boat and let someone else drive it for you? Make money.”

"Oh, you are really a roundworm in my stomach. That's what I told Ah Qing last night. It happened to be windy today and my dad is at home. I plan to tell him later when I finish my work. I will have to eat every two days in the next three days. When we go to the city to deliver goods, we have to leave him at home to watch."

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be envious, "You are running to the city more and more often now. I've never been there once in my life. You go there every two days. I've only been there once."

"It's hard to make ends meet."

"Didn't you say that your big ship will be delivered by the end of the year? Do you know when it will be delivered?"

"I don't know. I'm going to pass by the county town and have a look when I come back from the city tomorrow. I'd like to ask by the way."

"I heard that the boat you partnered with the Aguang family has made very good profits in the past two months?"

"It's good. The further you go, the richer the resources in the ocean are. Of course, the risk is also greater, so don't go too far. After all, the current technology is not very good. If you lose contact, you will be in trouble."

"Have you gotten your money back?"

“One trip to catch jellyfish in the first few months will pay off, and the next points will be what you earn.”

Xiaoxiao became even more envious when he heard this, "Why is it that all good things have happened to you, but it's not my turn? Then you have all your money back. You don't get a boat for free. You will get a steady stream of money from now on."

"That's right, yes."

"Then how much money can I get each month for these two months?"

"Let me tell you this, under normal circumstances, what the Harvest earns in a month can equal the net profit of your trawler."

His eyes widened, "Then do you have two shares or three shares? Isn't it equivalent to the income of two or three additional ships?"

"Yes, I have three shares and my second brother has one share."

"Hey, then your elder brother and sister-in-law must feel as uncomfortable as having their hearts and livers ripped out? I think I heard Aguang say that your elder brother and sister-in-law still felt unlucky at that time."

"Well, ignore them, personal choice."

"I feel itchy after hearing it. I want to get one."

"It's okay, let's do it! You can't go wrong, just pay a deposit of several thousand yuan first, and the balance will be paid after the ship is delivered anyway. You don't need to order too big, the size of mine and Aguang's is almost the same. Now It’s not safe to run too far.”

He shook his head, "It's not as simple as you said. If this is settled, it will be like a big stone weighing on my heart. How can you afford a boat with more than ten thousand? Ten thousand is not a small amount, although this is In the past two years, households worth ten thousand yuan have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, but they are not so widespread, right?"

"It's not that easy to make ten thousand yuan. I'll follow you to catch jellyfish this year. It's like picking up money in the trench. What if next year everyone will be jealous and go sailing?"

"And not only people in our village, but also people in nearby villages must have heard about it. Those with boats will definitely follow, and the group of people in the town will definitely not be so profitable next year. They may not be able to make it all in a week. , you have to look for it slowly on the sea."

Ye Yaodong had already made a plan in his mind.

"There will definitely be no changes to the boats in our village next year. No one can order a boat. The shipyards in the county have all scheduled their delivery dates to the year after next. Not to mention next year, they won't be able to buy a boat the year after."

"I heard that the villagers organized a dozen people and rented Uncle Zhou's tractor and went to the city. As a result, the city was even more exaggerated, and they all decided to go to the next year. Although the scale was a bit larger, but After all, it’s a big city and the demand is huge.”

Needless to say, Aguang has booked four boats. Anyway, we will know when they come back one after another.

The same goes for his ship. There is no need to talk about it, lest he make people hate him by saying it. It has not been long, and everyone still remembers it. It would not be good to expose it directly.

Maybe someone else might come and ask him to unload a few boats.

Think about it, this is not "possible", but someone will definitely come to your door to kidnap you morally.

It must be that he has so many ships, and there is no need to occupy so much share. We are all fellow villagers, and we have to help each other and so on...

He could already imagine it.

The more he thought about it, the more he kept secretive. It would be better to do less than to do more. When the ships gradually arrived, he could say that he had already decided on it, and it would be a matter of the next year.

Now that they are all in hand, they are all his boats. He can rent them out directly and cannot be kidnapped by moral kidnapping.

"Then why would I order it?"

"This big boat of more than 20 meters does not affect it. They have several teams to divide the work. If you have this idea, you can ask a few of your brothers to see. Aren't they still there with their small wooden boats swinging?"

"It's too expensive. They must have no idea. How can they get the money? There's no place to borrow it. Give them ten courages and they won't dare to talk nonsense. If they talk about joint fishing trawlers, it's still possible. They have done it before We’ve talked about it before, but we can’t order it now, so we can only continue to paddle.”

"Then ask Azheng? Anyway, you two have earned tens of thousands of dollars on this trip. I didn't see you buying anything when you came back. One of you just moved a TV home, and the other bought a mechanical watch. What else is there? Nothing more, right?"

"My wife said she was saving it. You know, once the money is in her hands, it's hard to take it out. She's as smart as anything, ugh."

Ye Yaodong shook his head. Every family has a different wife. His wife is as tough as the fat man's wife, but not as generous as the fat man's wife.

It should be said that today's housewives are all the same. They are all picky and fussy. They want to break a penny into eight-petal flowers. They have money in their hands and no one is willing to spend it.

"It would be nice if she had another child."

"what does it mean?"

"One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."

"It makes sense, then I probably have hope. She already has one. I worked extra hard when I came back from Zhejiang Province and got her pregnant in the second month. She is now three months old."

"Shh, keep your voice down, there's someone here."

"I didn't tell anyone, so I just happened to bring up this topic, so I'll tell you about it. I might have to ask your mother to help cover it up."

"As long as people from the town don't come to investigate and no one reports it, my mother and the others won't meddle in other people's business. It's so unreasonable."

"Well, I hope I can get a boy in one fell swoop. I already have two daughters. I'll have to hide and have the baby some other time. I'll just pay the fine when I get back."

The two of them only raised the topic a few words, and fell silent after entering the village.

Ye Yaodong didn't mention it to his mother. It was still early and we would talk about it in a few months.

The people on the beach can't live without a son. Many times in the village, they turn a blind eye. Basically, people from the top come down to visit. They accompany them during the inspection, and they go from house to house. Normally, they don't care.

But now the investigation is tightened. Every one or two months, people come door to door. He has already paid the fine, so Ye Xiaoxi never needs to hide.

Some have not been found out and have not paid the fine, so they can only let their children hide around when people come to check.

As a result, when his mother was having dinner in the evening, after the children had left the table, she asked Lin Xiuqing in a low voice.

"Did Emi have another baby?"

Both husband and wife were surprised.

"Ah? When did it happen?"

"When did you get it? Are you pregnant at this time? Did she tell you?"

"No, didn't you eat the moving meal a few days ago? I just saw something was wrong. In fact, I felt something was wrong last month. I saw it at the village committee today and I was sure, so I wanted to ask you if you know? "

Lin Xiuqing and Ye Yaodong looked at each other and said with some confusion: "I didn't see it."

Mother Ye felt relieved, "It's good that you didn't notice it. Oh, it might be her biological child. I can tell at a glance that there is something different about her. Forget it, just be pregnant if you are pregnant. Be careful."

"It's cold now, and you can't tell even if you wear a lot of clothes. Zhao Niang said that she realized something was wrong last month. It will probably be five or six months until spring starts. It's time to show that she's pregnant. It's hard to hide it, and She still works in the village committee.”

"Oh, this is the time to have a baby. Aguang is already old and doesn't have a son yet. Dongzi already has three children, the eldest one is eight years old. She also needs to have a baby soon. She just needs to get into trouble as soon as possible. Don't get caught. Nothing was found..."

"After spring, let her take a long vacation. I will send her to the city and ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to help take care of her. Aguang will also go to look at the store for me for a few months. Anyway, it is said that it is my daughter and son-in-law who are here to help. Enough."

Ye Yaodong's first reaction after hearing this was to send him away to avoid the same thing as Ah Qing. What's more, when Ah Qing's belly was the largest, it was still very cold. Ye Xiaoxi was born on March 3rd, so he was born on time and was very lucky.

"When the time comes, we will take over Xiaoyu and raise her for a few months, and keep her company with Xiaojiu. Our daughter is not with them. She is out of town, and no one knows her. There is no need to check her."

This is the best way to escape.

Mother Ye's eyes lit up, "That's great! Go away for a few months and then come back after giving birth. People outside don't know anything about it. Who knows how many babies you have."

"Well, it's convenient to go to the hospital during delivery. Big hospitals have guarantees."

Mother Ye also calmed down a bit, "I'll go to her house to talk to her after dinner later."

The old lady sighed and said, "Amitabha, what a sin. I hope this one will give birth to a son. I will help them pray more tomorrow and ask for the Bodhisattva's blessing."

"Eat, eat, don't say it, just know it in your heart. Don't say it outside, and don't say it in front of your children."

Today, he got to know two pregnant women, a friend's wife and a biological sister, all of whom were close to him.

It's true that everyone worked so hard just after they came back. I thought they were just talking about it, Mader, Gou Guang.

Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong had people carry the big tank onto the tractor.

He spent the whole afternoon twisting the straw he pulled back yesterday, twisting hemp rope, and then tied it to the big vat and carried it to the car.

There was also thick straw under the tractor.

At this moment, Aguang also came to watch the fun. His eyes were not eyes, his nose was not a nose, and he couldn't look at people directly.

Aguang touched his nose and felt a little unreasonable, so he could only follow the move and help with more work.

"I'll go to the city with you to have a look. We'll take a look and rent a house in advance."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and said nothing.

"It's been arranged in advance. It can be put on the schedule after the Chinese New Year. By the way, when I come back in the afternoon, I can go with you to take a look at your big ship."

Ye Yaodong gave him another look and asked him to understand.

Anyway, without speaking, Aguang just took him as his acquiescence.

The workshop was very busy. Father Ye, Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua and others would come over to take a look when they were not doing anything. In the early morning, they had to carry dried fish to the city, so they all came together to help with the lifting.

While helping, take a lot of straw and cushion it on the front, back, left and right to avoid collision.

However, at this moment, another uninvited guest came.

It's his second aunt, a rare visitor.

This whole year, he basically watched his eldest aunt play around, but his second aunt was rarely seen.

But he thought he was looking for his mother, so he pointed her in a direction and asked her to go in and talk.

He would not interfere with the affairs of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt.

After all the large tanks were moved, he got on the tractor, and Aguang also sat on the other side of his tractor.

A friend was already following him. When Wang Guangliang was hesitant to go up, Ye Yaodong waved to him, and he immediately sat on the other side of Ye Yaodong.

In the front position, Ma, Hu and Hu could barely fit together, but they had to hold their hands well, otherwise they would easily be thrown out when turning.

With a full load, Ye Yaodong was careful to slow down and avoid collisions when driving.

Everyone in the village started talking about it when they saw it. Everyone in the village knew that he had been busy filtering fish sauce recently and would start selling fish sauce again.

Everyone thought he was messing around. After all, it was only a little more than 1 cent. He bought land, built walls, and bought a lot of materials such as large vats.

I didn't calculate it in my mind, and maybe I wasn't familiar with the quantity in the workshop, so I thought it would take years and months to get back the money. After all, the cost of doing it was huge.

This is not as convenient as dried fish.

"Dongzi, your tractor can't pull a lot, and liquids can't be stacked all the way up."

"Well, we can only make a few more deliveries. From now on, we will probably have to deliver goods to the city every day. Ah Liang, please keep an eye on it and remember the directions on the way. Soon I will have to give you full responsibility. I will I won’t follow you.”

"Brother Dong, don't worry, I will remember everything, especially the forks in the road."

"Well, I'll take you on a few more trips when I'm free."

"You should buy a truck..." A Guang said with a smile.

"You want to buy it for me, right? Then I'll wait."

“Is it possible to buy a truck now?”

"I need approval. I can only buy tractors, but not trucks. I need to be affiliated with my employer."

"It would be so majestic if a whole truck of Jiefang drove back to the village."

"Okay, I don't choose. You can also give me the Great Liberation."

"You're not awake yet?"

He didn’t even have a tractor, let alone the Great Liberation.

"If you keep talking a few more times, you will really be full of dirt."

Aguang immediately closed his mouth.

"Brother Guang, don't you want to do something like Brother Dong?"

Before he could close his mouth for a while, Wang Guangliang tempted him to speak again.

"What are you doing? Do you want to switch jobs and work for me?"

"No, haha, I was just asking. I heard that you have been at home."

In fact, Aguang also thought about doing something else. After all, Dongzi just made some dried fish and became prosperous. He was doing well and earning pretty good money, but he didn't know how to do it. what's good.

He was just like Dongzi, a fisherman who became a monk halfway and knew nothing. He only knew how to fish, but he probably didn't catch as many fish as Dongzi, and he didn't work as long as he did.

He can't just follow his example, do the same thing in the same place, sell the same things, and steal his business, right? That's so unethical.

So this trip to the city, in addition to renting a house and settling down the follow-up matters, he also discussed with Huimei last night, thinking about going around and seeing if he could take advantage of the next few months to come to the city. Do something else.

You can't really come here just for refuge, that would be a waste of time.

"Yeah, I'm collecting rent at home. It's very comfortable. I don't have to work as hard as Dongzi. He was born to work hard, and I was born to enjoy happiness."

"Get out of here, sister. You were born to work hard. I am also a charterer, a bigger charterer than you."

"Dongzi, Dongzi... stop, stop, stop..."

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong..."

Needless to say, Ye Yaodong also saw the five or six men with sticks emerging from the straw piles on the roadside in front of him. He continued to drive his car without paying any attention.

Only a fool stops.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree..."

Before they could finish their words, the tractor rushed over without stopping, scaring them so much that they jumped to both sides.

"Ouch...it's such a fucking competition, it doesn't stop, it's so arrogant..."

"Go up, go up, he's not driving fast on the dirt road, so I quickly caught up with him and used a stick to smash his big tanks. Seeing that he was still arrogant..."

"Yes, knock his big tank to see if he is still arrogant..."

Aguang pulled the armrest on the edge and stuck his head out to look behind him, "I'm catching up with Dongzi, what should I do? I can't drive fast..."

Ye Yaodong stood up and opened the door, "You all stand up. You can turn it under the seat. I specially put a handful of 56 and a half."

He had several on hand, and he didn't use up a few bullets when he went to Zhejiang Province. When he came back, he only put a handful on the boat he drove, and hid all the others at home.

During this time, I often took them back and forth to deliver goods to the city, and I thought about putting one on the tractor, just in case.

Going back and forth on a fixed road every day, there will always be people jealous of the loads of things behind the tractor.

Ah Guang's face was filled with joy, "Okay, okay, give them a shot, you won't scare them to death."

Wang Guangliang also turned from worry to excitement in an instant, "Brother Dong, you actually have a gun! How come I didn't know you put one on the tractor?"

"You are too strong and majestic, aren't you? You are too powerful. Come on, Brother Guang, give them a shot to make them look good."

"Let me warn you, this gun is kept there as a backup. It is used to scare people when encountering such a situation. It cannot be used indiscriminately, nor can it be shot at people."
