"Then why should we donate? Why should we donate? Ten boats are a lot of money, thousands of dollars, so why should we donate them to the village committee for no reason?"
Mother Ye's face was full of displeasure. Why should she pay thousands of dollars for nothing?
"Can I borrow it?"
"Is there any difference?" Ye Yaodong asked back.
If he really lent it to the village committee to study kelp farming, would he be able to get it back when the time comes?
Even if he donates ten boats to the village committee, he still has to ask the village committee to organize manual breeding. However, he is still confident that he can convince the village committee. After all, it can really be cultivated. With him here, it will not be possible at all.
Don't worry about selling.
As long as it can be planted, it means that the living standard of the whole village will be improved, far ahead of the surrounding villages, and it will become a well-known wealthy village.
Furthermore, their village has also grown kelp, and he knows how to raise it. The only thing that makes him think there is a change is that the current kelp has not been improved over generations, and can only be collected from the wild.
Nowadays, wild kelp is not as good as that of later generations. Even if it can be grown, the yield will be only half at most, which requires technical staff to improve it. However, this is also the direction that needs to be researched after successful planting.
If he doesn't donate, the village committee will most likely hesitate. After all, in this early stage, fishing boats are indispensable for operating on the sea. It's hard to let a group of people do whatever they want, and they have to spend money to do it.
Believe me, sponsorship is another matter.
We have the tools and the big cake of painting, but we just need to provide some temporary labor, so the village committee is still willing to take the lead.
"Then why do you still need to buy kelp? You already have so many boats at home, but it's not enough for you to earn? Why do you have to go to all that trouble? Donate so many boats, it's like you don't need money..."
"You have to take a long-term view. If you plant them, all those kelp can bring me profits, and it can also bring hope to the whole village. The whole village will become rich together, so isn't my contribution great? The whole village
Everyone has to thank me, and I will be published in newspaper headlines in the future to promote it across the country. This is a typical example of personal prosperity driving collective prosperity. Tell me, isn't this just gaining fame and fortune together?"
Today is different from the past. In the past, people spoke lightly, and every household with ten thousand yuan was afraid of getting famous and getting into trouble. But now, who in all the towns and villages doesn’t know his reputation? Who doesn’t know that he owns boats and shops, and hires many people to work for him.
After making achievements in kelp, the whole village has to protect him, not only because he is the one who started it, but also because he sells the goods.
The most important thing is that being a household worth ten thousand yuan is a personal honor, while leading a whole village to become rich is a collective honor. The collective is greater than the individual. He has the backing of the whole village, and he has the support of the whole village to become famous.
Nowadays, a village committee is much more useful than the public security bureau.
Mother Ye was stunned by him, "It really sounds like that...I didn't even do anything, but I already thought about being in the newspaper and collecting fame and fortune. Even in my dreams most of the night, I was not as good as you thought."
"
Father Ye also thought about it.
"Do you really think kelp can be sold at a good price? The prerequisite for your idea is not that it can be grown, but that the kelp can be popular and sell at a high price."
"It's worthwhile to grow it, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that someone wants it and you can sell it for money. If you can't sell it for a price, then don't talk about fame and fortune, you will be scolded by the whole village.
Damn it. If you are afraid of being scolded and keep it yourself and receive the subsidy, how much subsidy will you have to pay?"
"You have to think clearly. Don't just think about how many benefits it can bring to you. You have to ask in advance whether there is anyone outside who wants it. If no one wants it, if people want it, the villagers will not be able to do it.
It's easy, but it might cause public outrage. If it doesn't grow, no one will have anything to say."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and thought it made sense. Although he was sure he could sell it, he still had to test the market.
"Although I'm sure no one will want it, dad, since you said so, we can give it a try. In the past two months, haven't the people in the village picked up a lot of kelp to dry? In this case, I weigh 6 pounds
To share the money, ask people in the village to collect it first, and take as much as you can send over."
"It's not a rare thing. You definitely didn't expect me to collect it. I probably don't have much on hand. It's a lot for 400 households to collect two or three thousand catties. If it's more than 3,000 catties, 6 cents is only 200
Just spend these 200 yuan and collect it first. I’ll call Boss Zhou and maybe sell some of it to the city for retail sales.”
Father Ye nodded, 200 yuan is not much, you can just spend 200 yuan to try it out first.
"That's okay."
"Be on the safe side. I'll make a call tomorrow. If I'm sure I want it, I can collect it from the villagers. Then I can use this to convince the village committee to organize the breeding. It will be more prestigious. After all, I don't have to worry about selling."
"It's good. It's more stable. If someone wants it, we can have it researched and raised."
Ye's mother saw the father and son going back and forth and settled the matter. Neither of them mentioned the boat, which made her anxious.
"What about the boat? You two are just talking about kelp, what about the boat? Do you really want to donate? It's too much. I can just donate a few words and it will be fine."
Ye Yaodong had just said that he would donate ten pieces when his head was hot. Now that he analyzed it with his father, his mother also protested in pain. He also felt that it was too much.
It’s still a little bloated!
I made a lot of money last month by catching squid, and I made a lot of money at the end of the month, and I thought every day that I might have 200,000 by the end of the year. Now I feel like a rich man, and even the ten boats were a bit unimportant. Just now
He came as soon as he opened his mouth.
He immediately calmed down his swollen heart and sobered up.
In the initial research on how to plant, we don’t need so many people at all. Two boats are enough and can express our sincerity. We don’t need as many as ten, which will be useless.
When ten are needed, probably after the initial success, expanding production capacity for large-scale planting will require more manpower and a few more boats will be needed, but that is what the village committee should worry about.
"What Mom said makes sense. Ten is too many. My head just started to heat up. I just blurted out an idea without thinking about it."
Mother Ye looked better and had a smile on her face, "Right, I just said ten is too many, it's thousands of dollars, whose money is blown by the strong wind, the money you earn is also earned by your hard work at sea
It’s all hard-earned money, saved one by one to get where we are today.”
Father Ye also said, "Then I'd better donate two..."
“It can’t be said to be a donation, but it can be said to be sponsoring the research on kelp cultivation in the village, making a contribution to the prosperity and development of the village, and also contributing to the villagers’ better life in the future.”
The old lady answered with a smile, "Okay, okay, Dongzi can still talk. When you say this, it makes people feel so comfortable and seems to have a higher level of consciousness."
Mother Ye glanced at him with disgust, holding chopsticks in her hand to pick up vegetables, "When did your mouth start to sound like an official? Listening to such a scene, in the final analysis, it's not a donation."
"Since everything has been given, of course you have to say it nicer, otherwise how can I get people to express their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts."
"Only you can talk."
"Then there are 8 more. According to the original intention, these 8 will be directly depreciated and sold to the boatmen who will follow you then, right? Also, this research will have to wait until you come back from Zhejiang Province, right?"
"Of course, I will earn the money I should earn when I finish using it, and then I will free up two more to give to the village committee. Anyway, kelp seedlings are harvested at the end of September and early October, and it depends on the temperature at that time.
It depends on the temperature of the sea water.”
If you really master the planting technology, this thing is simple, but for a novice who doesn't understand, you have to learn slowly and explore for a long time.
When the weather gets cold, the wind and waves are strong, and the time at home is longer than at sea, he can watch and give guidance.
After he figured it out and had a plan, he relaxed and could taste the food.
"It's quite similar to what you said. It makes you know everything..."
Ye Mu said something habitually to break up the trouble, and then immediately brightened up and said: "Hey, can you use the boat to partner with the village committee and study planting together? After success, let the village committee share the money?"
Father Ye also looked at him, "Is that okay?"
"Forget it, I only took two boats. As for the guidance of planting, although it is technical, but how should I divide it? Five to five? Three to seven or two to eight?"
"We have just started to achieve some results in research and development, so it's okay to share some. But if we wait for large-scale planting and the whole village participates in collective planting, even if I take 10%, the remaining 90% will be shared by more than 400 households in the village.
Is it appropriate? Otherwise, instead of being thanked, I will be scolded and get a lot of points."
"If we only take the front part and don't take it when the latter develops vigorously, how much money can we get from the front part? Isn't this just for small money, just to put ourselves in it?"
"Originally, if the whole village vigorously develops the cultivation of kelp, I will also benefit. I can make a lot of money just by selling it. This is the big one. In addition, there is a reputation for individuals to drive collective prosperity. These are more important."
"If it is really raised, the government will set up a benchmark and a signboard throughout the village and vigorously publicize it. Then it will not be my personal matter, but a collective honor."
Mother Ye felt that she understood, but also felt that she did not understand.
"So you don't take any benefits? Become a good person?"
"Not really. You can participate in the research. After the research is completed, there will definitely be people who participated and contributed. The fruits of labor will be divided up first. It will depend on how the village defines it. Then if the breeding is carried out on a large scale, should the villagers do the breeding on their own or organize it?
Breeding together as a group is also part of it."
"I estimate that the development will definitely be carried out as a collective unit at the beginning. After all, it is still in the exploratory stage. After everyone is familiar with it, they will know how to breed, and then the collective can be developed into individuals, and everyone can work alone as a family unit.
"
"So, there are definitely benefits to participating. Sponsoring two boats, plus I started the breeding business, there will be many benefits in the future. We have to take a long-term view."
Father Ye nodded frequently after hearing this, feeling that what he said made sense.
"What Dongzi said is that at the beginning, we didn't make any results yet, so we asked to be divided according to what we wanted, which made people feel bad. Once we have results, it won't be too late to distribute them according to their work. What's more, it will definitely come from the collective
Transfer to someone else. No one can put Dong Zi away anyway, and we have to hope that he will take it all away and sell it later."
"So, this is the decision for the time being. I will contribute two boats. It would be great if we can have two boats out to sea. It is already evening and it is not far from dark. We will wait until tomorrow to collect the kelp. Mom will also help tomorrow morning.
Let’s publicize it in the village so that everyone who has kelp can use it to exchange for money.”
Anyway, he will not participate in future breeding, but he can participate in research and development. Research and development and improvement are the core of making the kelp grow longer and better and increasing the yield per mu.
"Why wait for tomorrow? When I get back from dinner, just say it at the door and let them spread it all night. Then early tomorrow morning, there will naturally be a bunch of people lining up in front of your house."
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't inquired about the price yet. I'll call you later to find out how much I can give you for the acquisition, and then I'll tell you that you are spreading the news."
"OK."
"If you charge 6 cents for this, how much will it cost?"
"One or two cents."
"What? Are you going to double or triple your value now?"
"Is the fare free? One ton of kelp is 120 yuan, and 10 tons is only 1,200 yuan. The tractor can't carry 10 tons, at most five or six tons. For safety, it has to be controlled at around 4-5 tons. Five to six hundred yuan at a time.
Money, if you consume fifteen or six liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, it will cost you more than ten yuan. How many yuan does it cost you to go back and forth for a trip?"
Ye Mu was stunned for a while while he was counting, and she didn't understand how he was calculating, but when he heard what he said so loudly, and he was counting one by one, he seemed to be extremely accurate, and she was frightened.
Yes, he said.
"Then...then you just have to figure out how much money you can make."
"When you pass it on tomorrow, don't let people crowd in front of my house. You have to tell them to wait over there at the workshop. There's a lot of space over there, so you can squeeze in. The yard here is a little bit bigger."
"I know, then you say hello tomorrow morning and tell me during lunch. I'll go back and tell them after dinner and let them take it to the workshop tomorrow afternoon."
"Um."
Kelp is also sold in inland areas, but the transportation is inconvenient, information is blocked, and circulation is slow. Only those who move around all year round can see more and know more.
As far as he knows, research on breeding began in some places in the early 1980s, and it was only in the mid-1980s that people began to plant kelp.
With a little guy like him here, the probability of their planting success will be much greater. As long as they succeed in planting this year and have a harvest next year, they only need to research and develop in the direction of high-yield improvements.
"After that, hurry up and eat. Every day I see you at the dinner table, I have to talk a lot."
"Eat first, eat first..."
Their fine tradition is that they like to talk about anything at the dinner table, which is fine, and then eat.
Otherwise, it would be boring for everyone to eat their own meals without even communicating, which would be quite boring.
Just as the family was finishing their meal, the sound of someone getting their hair cut came from the door.
Ye Yaodong immediately went out and called for someone to come over. It happened that he wanted to cut his hair today.
Most of the barbers these days go around the streets and do door-to-door haircuts. With hair cutting tools, when they meet people who want to have their hair cut on the street, they can just put a small bench on the street and start cutting. You can also go to
Cut at home and provide door-to-door service.
"Do you two want a haircut? Your hair covers your ears, and you almost look like Xiao Jiu."
"If you want, I want to shave my head..." Ye Chenghu happily rushed over from a group of children.
Ye Chengyang followed closely behind, running and shouting: "I also want to shave my head and go to the Shaolin Temple!"
Other children quickly gathered around, chattering.
"Aqing, bring out a bench."
It happened to be dark yet, so I gave them a bald head and sent them to take a bath. These wild boys couldn't take a bath until they went to bed, otherwise they would be dirty after washing.
My body is still very dirty, smelling of sweat, my hair smells sour, and my sleeves are all black. I am either running around, falling here or there, or lying on the ground all day long.
"You came just in time. You were still thinking about shaving your heads in the afternoon, and it just so happens that all three of you have shaved your heads."
Lin Xiuqing moved a stool out and placed it at the gate. The two brothers hurriedly tried to seize the position, pushing it back and forth and pushing it with their buttocks.
"Let me first..."
"Let me first..."
"Go away, I'm the elder brother, I'll come first..."
"My mother tells you to touch me every day..."
The two brothers put their hands on the stool and pushed each other back and forth, and then started to collide again.
Seeing how they were fighting, Ye Yaodong walked directly to them and sat down on the stool with his butt facing the two lowered heads.
"ah……"
"Ah, who..."
The children around also laughed when they saw it.
The two heads also quickly twisted out from under their buttocks, and they took two or three steps back to realize that it was their wicked father.
"If there's anything to grab, grab it here and there, then don't shave it, I'll shave it first."
"Dad, do you also want to go to Shaolin Temple?"
"Why should I go to the Shaolin Temple? Should I go up there to sweep the floor?"
"Dad, you are wrong. I heard the storyteller on the radio say that not everyone can sweep the floor. Those who sweep the floor are really good."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to flick his little head, but he dodged it in excitement, then shook his head and said proudly: "I can't hit him~ I can't hit him~"
After the barber tied a piece of cloth around his body, he reminded them, "Stop moving, I'm going to start."
"Wait, I'll get the stick later."
"Do you want a bald head?"
"With a bald head, it's cooler in the summer and saves trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scraper began to move on the top of his head, and pieces of hair as thick as straw fell to the ground in small pieces.
There were a bunch of curious children around, and some of them ran home and shouted that they wanted to shave their heads.
"Hahaha...my dad has become bald..."
"Uncle Third, your bald head is so funny..."
"Is it funny?"
Ye Yaodong touched his bare forehead and felt a chill on top of his head, which made him feel a little unaccustomed to it.
Lin Xiuqing laughed as she watched from the side, and then went to the room to bring him a mirror.
Ye Yaodong also took the mirror and looked at it, and smiled himself, "You're quite pretty, you're a proper monk, and the top of your head is whiter than my face."
There are only two blood stains on the top of the head, probably accidentally scraped out with a scraper, so it's not a big problem.
She didn’t know who the Bianji monk he was talking about was, but Lin Xiuqing still answered with a smile, “Let your grandma help you burn some ring scars.”
"No, I just shaved to cool off."
"Go and wash your hair quickly. There are little strands of hair falling out everywhere."
After he stood up, Ye Chenghu took the first step to occupy the position, and soon another little monk appeared.
"Bring me my dog-beating stick...no, it's a stick. I'm a little monk today..."
Ye Chengyang looked at it and was ready to make a move. He sat on the chair and quickly urged the barber, "Master, please hurry up."
After these two boys finished shaving their heads, the other children, after getting their parents' approval, sat on the train one by one, and one little monk after another came out.
The weather is hot, shaving your head is cool, and your hair will grow slower.
After a group of children shaved their heads, they immediately went home to find sticks as soon as they stood up. The Shaolin Temple craze surges every year and is endless.
Ye Xiaoxi looked anxious as he saw the bald heads one after another, some even using sticks as weapons.
"I want it too, I want it too..."
"You have to learn everything. You can't take it. You are still young and you will hit others later."
"No, I also want to shave my head, and my head will be bald...I also want to be bald..."
"You are a girl, you don't need to shave your head."
I spent a long time not wanting to get a stick, but wanting to shave my head with those people.
"I want it, I want it naked...Mother, mother, I want it too, I want it too..."
Ye Xiaoxi took Lin Xiuqing's hand and dragged her towards the hairdresser. She couldn't pull her with one hand, so she moved up with both hands.
"You are a girl. If you shave your head, you will have no hair. It doesn't look good."
"I need to shave, I need to shave."
Ye Yaodong came out after washing his hair and saw it, and said with a smile: "If she wants to shave, just shave her. It doesn't matter if she is so young anyway. A shaved head will be cooler, and if you shave more, your hair will grow longer."
"
"She already has a lot of hair. If she really needs to shave it off, it's better to let Xiaoyu shave it off. After shaving, her hair will only be three to two strands..."
As soon as Pei Yu heard what she said, she immediately put her hands on her head to cover her two little ones, and then ran around on the ground, shouting in a milky voice: "No, no, no bald head, Xiaoyu
don't want……"
Ye Xiaoxi also imitated her and ran around shouting: "I want it, I want it, I want a big bald head... a big bald head..."
She ran around in circles, then around Lin Xiuqing, and then around Ye Yaodong. The two couples who ran were dizzy and quickly reached out to catch her.
"Shave, shave, shave, don't cry after you shave..."
When Ye Xiaoxi heard her father's promise, she immediately stopped and shouted happily: "No..."
"Dong..."
She shook her head and fell to the ground, then shook her head and shouted in a daze: "I'm so dizzy..."
Both the couple couldn't help laughing.
"Forget it, don't shave if you feel dizzy."
"I want it..." She immediately put her hands on the ground, stood up with her butt stuck out, and shook her head while shouting: "I'm not dizzy anymore..."
Ye Yaodong picked her up, patted her dirty pants, and rubbed her head, "Don't shave until you feel dizzy. Take it easy first. Shave for others first. Then shave after others."
Ye Xiaoxi happily hugged his neck and nodded, then kissed his cheek, "Love daddy..."
"Are you calling me dad now?"
"Uh-huh……"
Ye Xiaoxi pressed her face against his, nuzzling and coquettishly. Ye Yaodong felt that her chubby little face was soft and tender as it kept pressing against him, which softened his heart.
The smile on his face couldn't stop.
Ye Xiaoxi's hand also touched the back of his head. He felt it was so novel. His eyes widened and he stopped looking at it. He just kept staring at the big bald head on his head and kept rubbing his forehead with both hands.
"Haha... big bald head~"
"Is it easy to touch?"
“So touching~”
Her two little hands that couldn't put it down kept touching his head, and then suddenly patted him twice, "Not familiar..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter?"
"The melons are not ripe..."
Lin Xiuqing was also happy, "Aunts took you to pick watermelons in the afternoon and asked you to take pictures of watermelons, right?"
"Yes, yes~"
"You learn so fast. Stop touching it. It's your turn. You can touch your own head after you've shaved it off."
Ye Xiaoxi was so happy that she immediately struggled to get down, and then sat on the stool with the help of her father.
Before Lin Xiuqing could help her take off the rubber band on her head, she pulled it off herself, and then sat obediently, waiting for the barber to shave her head.
But her eyes were spinning like wheels, watching the children playing and playing with sticks in the open space, her legs were shaking uncontrollably, and she couldn't wait to think about it.
Ye Yaodong watched the scraper keep scraping on the top of her head, and was a little worried about scratches. Just now, every child had more or less one or two cuts on her head.
"Be careful, don't bleed when you scrape, wait, wait...don't scrape first..."
The barber frowned, "What's wrong?"
"You just made several cuts on others. This scraper is unhygienic. Give it to me first. I'll wash it for you and rinse it first."
"ah?"
Ye Yaodong took his scraper without any explanation and went to clean it in the house.
It was only at this moment that he realized that this scraper had scraped the heads of several people and caused bleeding, so there was no need to spread any bad contagion. Although they were all children and did not have any diseases, our country was a big country with hepatitis B!
When his son was shaving, he was washing his hair in the house and didn't notice it. When he came out, he saw one or two blood stains on the foreheads of many children, and it was only then that he realized what he was doing.
It is also because of poor hygiene these days that the infection has become more widespread.
"What's the matter with your man? There are still people waiting in line to be shaved. Isn't he delaying things?"
Lin Xiuqing also looked at his back helplessly, "Wait a minute, I guess it's because the hair is all over it, so I want to clean it before shaving the child."
"Trouble, hurry up..."
Ye Yaodong rinsed it several times, but he was afraid it was not clean enough, so he carried a bag of washing powder, but the old lady said no, grabbed a handful of plant ash from the stove and helped him wash it again.
He also thinks that plant ash is quite reliable, so he doesn’t use washing powder.
When he handed the razor to the barber again, the barber rolled his eyes at him angrily.
Ye Xiaoxi couldn't wait for a long time and kept kicking the stool with his legs, urging, "Okay, okay..."
"It's almost here, don't move, don't scratch the skin."
Chapter completed!
