Within a few days, Ye Yaodong found an opportunity to dock in the provincial capital, cleared the goods on the ship, took the packaging bags he ordered, and ordered another 50,000 bags.
After the packaging bags were taken home, the filling machine quickly began formal operation. No one was specially invited to do this. Originally, no matter whether the workshop was started or not, there were two people left to watch.
After the twins left, two boys were specially found in the village as replacements, so the workshop was never short of people every day.
Now just arrange the two guards to do the work. Whoever is on duty will do the work. Otherwise, sitting in the sun every day is more comfortable than him. How can that be done?
In the past few days, the workshop has been in full swing, and the work of killing fish has not stopped.
In the past, we relied on two big boats to pull up to the shore and kill a wave of fish, but now there is no need. Ah Cai sends a batch every evening, and the workshop has to hire women to kill fish every day.
And when their two ships docked, the goods they brought were even more incredible, and they could not finish them all for several days.
He was too busy to take care of it some time ago, otherwise he should have arranged it earlier. Fortunately, Ah Cai came to the door himself.
I was probably shocked by his generosity of buying a machine for 10,000 yuan, and I was thinking about making some money from him.
Last year, we relied on two boats to fish and save a batch of cargo until now. This year, we really need to prepare more. In the next few months, we will have to do this every day. It is a win-win situation.
Then their workshop became the gossip center of the whole village in the past few days.
"This should have been done a long time ago. We spent three days fishing and two days drying the nets. It would be great if there were fish killed every day."
"Just say that Adong is reliable, and others will tell you that he actually asks everyone to work."
"Those two are not good people. They raise young wives outside and steal other people's wives at home. There is another person who treats him as a friend. He is also jealous of others. If he even earns money for them to set up a factory, I won't give it to them.
I would rather work here."
"If God doesn't care, let them make money..."
"I heard that Wang Chuyun has been beating her husband a lot in the past few days. If it weren't for the fact that it would cost a lot of money to marry another wife, she would probably have to drive her away."
"Now I'm beating myself to death every day for committing evil..."
As soon as Ye Yaodong walked to the door, he heard all kinds of lively voices inside, and he was also very happy. Only when you are popular can you prosper.
Lin Xiuqing has been extremely busy these past two days.
When Ah Cai delivered the goods, she had to weigh them and keep accounts. The quantity was quite large every day.
She also had to record the people who came to work every day. Recently, there was a lot of goods, so she had to work in two shifts. Not only did she record the people who killed the fish, but she also had to record the people who helped ferment the fish sauce.
There is also a fishing boat rented by her family. Although she does not have to go to the dock to collect goods every day, she still has to collect the cargo manifest and check whether there are any omissions. After all, there are more than a dozen boats there.
Then I have to go to the workshop from time to time to inspect the drying conditions of the dried fish.
The busiest time is from evening to dark, but it's fine during the day.
Therefore, when Ye Yaodong came back, she had no time to gather around him and didn't even see him.
Only the old lady circled around him.
"Aqing has been very busy these days and has no time for dinner. It will probably be eight or nine o'clock when she finishes her work. You should eat the dinner left for her first and cook noodles for her later."
"Well, how many children are there?"
"They're all helping out there."
"You go back first and take a look around my workshop first."
Lin Xiuqing was holding a ledger to record the goods brought back by her father Pei, and was weighing the goods when Ye Yaodong came over and didn't even look at him. He just told him to go back to eat first.
"Would you like to hire a personal accountant for you?"
"No, who can I invite? How can I know my own account as well as others?"
"Look, you haven't eaten yet."
"It's okay, I'm not hungry. Go back to eat quickly and take your daughter back with you to avoid causing trouble here."
Ye Yaodong turned around and looked for Ye Xiaoxi. The fat girl didn't know where she was going, and she didn't see anyone.
When he found the fish sauce workshop next door, he saw her standing in the corner of the room while others were moving fish in and out.
She didn't know what she was doing there.
When he got closer, he saw that she was spitting to the side, and her hands were full of salt.
"Holy shit, what are you doing? Stealing salt?"
She wrinkled her face and said, "It doesn't taste good!"
Ye Yaodong was speechless and patted her head, "Go home."
"don't want."
"Still want to eat?"
"For you to eat."
"I'm not as greedy as you. I also want to eat salt. You just have a too light mouth."
"I thought it was Tangtang."
Ye Yaodong patted the stupid girl on the head again, "I washed my hands when I went home. I laughed to death when I told you that I secretly ran here to eat salt alone."
"A hug, a hug."
Ye Xiaoxi hugged his thigh and rubbed her hands back and forth on his legs. The salt on her hands was wiped clean. Fortunately, her clothes were dirty, so she could wipe them off as she pleased.
Ye Yaodong picked up the child and walked home. She focused on picking out the salt between her fingers. She seemed to be honest.
However, he was relieved too early, and even stuffed the salt into his mouth to honor him.
He even dodged, but they still had to pry his face, pry his mouth, and forcefully stuff him.
Ye Yaodong could only grit his teeth, which showed that he was tough-talking.
After finally getting home, he quickly put the stupid girl down and handed her over to the old lady to look after.
When Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua learned that he was back, they both came over quickly.
The day after tomorrow is the day Ye Mu is optimistic about, and the name of their fishing boat has not yet been decided.
They should have picked it up a few days ago, but Ye Yaodong was not at home. The other two felt that there was no ink in their stomachs, and they racked their brains and didn't know what to call them, so they planned to wait for him to come back.
Fortunately, he didn't come back too late. He decided on the name tonight and just informed the shipyard to spray paint it tomorrow.
As soon as they passed by, they asked straight to the point: "What would be a good name for our boat? We need to decide on it quickly."
"The harvest number Dongsheng number you picked up is quite good. We have been thinking about it for a few days and still don't know what to call it."
"You can call me whatever you want, as long as it means something good." Ye Yaodong didn't care, "It's up to you."
"We just don't know what to call it. What should we call it?"
"I don't even have a few ounces of ink in my stomach."
The two brothers looked at each other in silence, and then Ye Yaopeng said: "How about we call it SF Express?"
Ye Yaodong squirted out a mouthful of soup.
"Ahem...what did you call it?"
"S.F. Express."
He couldn't help laughing, "Why is it called this?"
Ye Yaohua looked at him with a confused expression, "Is there anything wrong with this name?"
Ye Yaopeng didn't know what he was laughing at, "We want a smooth and bumper harvest, so we call it SF Express."
"That's fine, I don't mind my opinion. If you two like this name, then call it this."
"No, just take a look. If it doesn't fit, we'll change it again. Looking at your expression just now, does it seem like there's something wrong?"
"No problem, it's just a bit unexpected. This name can be quite good, so let's call it this."
"Then let's call it this?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, with a smile on his face.
Ye Yaopeng said with a smile: "Then it's settled, and then we'll ask dad to help us sail the boat the day after tomorrow."
"That's right. Dad has been helping me for two or three years. You have to help me if you need it. I will sail the boat by myself first. Anyway, by then we will definitely have a companion when we go in and out together, and our safety will be guaranteed."
.”
Ye Yaohua also said: "Yes, when the time comes, our boats will definitely go in and out together, and we can fish together next to each other, so we can take care of each other."
Ye Yaopeng said again: "Let dad help us for a while first. When we get familiar with each other, I will ask dad to come back to help you. After all, you are alone. Ahua and I can still take turns, but you will have to call us when the time comes.
outsider."
"It's okay. Anyway, let dad go and help you first. When you don't need it anymore, then just ask dad to come back to my place."
He also happens to train two people who can sail ships. Next year, he will get a fresh harvest ship. When he has a fresh harvest ship, he will go to sail the fresh harvest ship and hand over the Dongsheng to the newly trained people.
Anyway, there is no need for someone to sell goods, as long as he can control the fishing, then he will go back and forth every day to collect the goods from several ships.
The plan was just right.
The three brothers decided on the matter after discussion.
Father Ye was not involved from the beginning to the end, but he certainly had no objection. He would help any son, there was no difference. He would go to whichever son needed him.
Ye Yaodong chatted with them for a while, then went to take a bath and put the children to sleep.
Lin Xiuqing was so busy that he almost collapsed, and he didn't see anyone yet.
Until he finally coaxed Ye Xiaoxi to stop and was about to go to sleep, the sound of children chirping came from the house again.
All previous efforts are wasted.
His closed eyes opened as big as a bell, and he sat up, climbed out of bed neatly, and ran out.
Ye Yaodong lay helpless and motionless, not paying attention to the children who ran out and saying nothing.
Lin Xiuqing's voice came from outside the house.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? You ran out without any clothes on. Where is your father?"
"Dad said if I don't close my eyes, he will die."
Lin Xiuqing was speechless, so she had to bring the child in, turn on the light, and continue to put her on the bed and wrap her up.
"I'm going to succeed soon, come back at this time!" Ye Yaodong said, looking at the ceiling with a pair of unblinking eyes.
"Then you sleep on your own and leave her alone. Let her lie down and play by herself."
"How can I sleep? Sometimes she pinches my nose, sometimes picks my eyes, sometimes she sits on my belly, and sometimes she lifts my pants and plucks my leg hair."
Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to glare at Ye Xiaoxi again. Ye Xiaoxi chuckled and shrank his head into the quilt.
"I'm going to get something to eat first, and I'll come in later to put her to sleep. You can sleep on your own."
Ye Yaodong waited until she came in and isolated the child in a corner before he fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, he went to the workshop again, told the two boys on duty, taught them how to fill the fish sauce, and gave them some precautions.
Then he didn't leave all morning. When they started working, he didn't feel relieved, so he moved a stool and sat by the door, basking in the sun while watching the two of them working.
There were also people in the next room and at the door, moving people around, fermenting fish sauce, and saying hello to him from time to time.
This fermentation work is relatively rough, so I only worked on the goods I brought back for half a morning, and then poured them all in for fermentation.
The fish killing job next door is relatively delicate, and the fish of more than 10,000 kilograms cannot be killed so quickly. The weather is cold now, so it can be kept for two more days. It is noisy and sounds like it is in full swing.
He had been basking in the sun all morning, and the bag of fish sauce also contained four or five hundred fish sauces. They were all placed in a basket with straw padded inside and stacked in a corner.
This thing is very simple. Once you master it, it won't be difficult and you won't make mistakes.
He wandered around the workshop all day long, looking around and listening to the gossip.
In the early morning of the next day, the three brothers followed their father and Aguang to ride to the shipyard.
His two power boats were also delivered with the SF Express and had to be driven back together. However, he was not in a hurry and went with the SF Express to test the water first.
After testing the water, we paid the price together, and then the two boats, one large and two small, headed back together.
The water test went very smoothly, and more than 2,000 kilograms of goods were caught in the net. It seemed to Ye Yaodong that the harvest was only average, but his two brothers were very happy.
It was the first time that they saw so many fish caught in one net, and it was their own boat. They were all very excited, feeling that they were about to make a fortune, and they were laughing all the way back.
When we returned, it was Ye's father who drove the boat. Two brothers, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, also stayed in the cockpit, listening to his father telling them how to sail.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang each drove a small motor boat.
The bows of the three boats were all tied with big red flowers, which looked particularly festive. They were far away from the pier, and many people had already seen them, including their own families and the fishing boats that came back in the afternoon.
As soon as the three boats docked, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks kept going off, and their family members all looked beaming with joy.
People on the shore have long spread the news and are extremely envious.
As soon as they landed ashore, a crowd of people gathered around to congratulate them.
"How many boats do you have? Look! Look! This dock is all yours..."
Father Ye couldn't help but smile, "Haha, no, no, isn't this the same as in many villages?"
"How many boats does Adong have? The two small ones that just came back are yours, right?"
"You're stupid. Just look at the numbers above and you'll know that the one with the numbers is A Dong's. Aren't the numbers all ranked at 17?"
"Oh my god, there are 17 of them? This is too exaggerated. One person can cover several villages."
"Ye Laosan, the eldest and second son of your family are also promising. Hey, they can afford such a big boat. These three brothers are incredible..."
"They just keep tossing and tossing, and I have to watch them, otherwise they can't do it. I have to watch for a few more years before they can do it."
Ye Yaodong smiled and shook his head as he listened. His father was also intoxicated.
A Guang put his arm on his shoulder and walked out, while the others were still surrounded and talking.
"I heard that you came back with a machine worth 10,000 yuan. Can you take me to take a look at it?"
"It's not that expensive. It's all rumored outside."
"If it's not 10,000, then it should be at least seven or eight thousand. It's close. You're really capable of doing this."
"It's a shame that the child won't be able to trap the wolf."
Ye Yaodong said as he took A Guang to visit.
The two of them walked and talked, and also talked about Pei Yingqiu's marriage, which was just on New Year's Day, a few days ago, and they said they were getting married directly at the station.
There was a dormitory building originally, but there were so many people there that many people lived in one room. Captain Chen was getting married, so those soldiers made room for him alone.
After getting married, he will take her to his hometown in the provincial capital.
The lighthouse outside will not be completed soon, it will take about a year. If it is completed, it will be hard to say whether it will be stationed in place or transferred back.
But it doesn't matter to their family. The transfer is in the city, so it's not far for them.
Ye Yaodong also mentioned Lin Guangyuan a little bit.
"This kid has always wanted to be a soldier. The sea soul shirt given by Captain Chen is like a treasure. I'll take a look at it when I go for the military inspection next year."
"Being in the navy is better than being in the army."
"Whether it's good or not, you have to stand out."
"Then you have to work hard. Your packaging is good, it won't leak and it's convenient. You don't need to scoop out a bag one by one to get a pound."
As soon as they entered the house, Aguang saw baskets of bags of fish sauce stacked in the corner, and curiously took them in his hands to weigh them.
"Well, it's just for convenience. You can take a pack back later."
"Okay. How many bags can you make this day?"
"Yesterday from 9 am to 5 pm, including the break, there were more than 1,000 packages."
"The speed is quite fast. No wonder you are increasing the collection of goods here and there. Ah Cai is collecting goods everywhere for you."
"Yeah, right now, the fermentation speed is slow and the output can't keep up, so we have to ferment more in advance to have more output next year."
"Well, I have to see you get rich again."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "I also envy you that you can eat and drink at home without having to do anything. It's so cool."
"Oh shit, there's a lot of work at home. My father said he would hand over the boat to me after the New Year. Then he would retire at home and farm on the side."
He was surprised, "Your father is going to retire so soon?"
"Haha, I told him that the old man can't fuck the young man all the time and keep playing. Anyway, I have two sons, so he should be able to relax now."
Ye Yaodong suddenly thought that his stepmother had been pregnant for several months. Although she could hide it in the winter, his father definitely wanted to keep an eye on it at home.
Then you really need to change it.
"It just so happens that I have to sail my own boat. My father will help my eldest and second brothers. Then you can also sail your boat. Our three boats will go in and out at the same time. Anyway, the sea area is so wide that we can't reach each other.
Just interfere."
"I think so too. By the end of next year, the boat that I have partnered with Xiao Azheng and the others will be handed over to me. Then we will each drive a boat, and the sea will be ours to sail!"
A Guang said with high spirits, and Ye Yaodong was also a little excited.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, they would be able to sail a large ship with one person at the same time, ahead of the entire village.
"Brother Dong, how many ships do you have? Didn't you just bring back three ships today? Will there be more next year?" The boy who was filling the bottles next to him listened to their conversation and asked curiously.
Ye Yaodong smiled and nodded, "Yes, there will be more next year."
A Guang also said: "Your brother Dong is incredible. The real king of ships, Dong, has more than 20 boats of all sizes in his hands. There are still a lot of industries in the city. You work hard and follow him."
It’s absolutely the same, the popular one is the spicy one.”
"You're just bragging. If you don't get popular in the future, go to him and ask him to take responsibility for you."
"I bought this machine casually for 10,000 yuan. Everyone knows Dongge's strength, but it can't be compared to others just by bragging."
"A Dong is a low-key person. He doesn't brag about himself. He is so famous that others don't make much money. He dresses like a human and does nothing that is not human..."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, everyone knew who he was talking about.
It seems that when he was not at home, there were many rumors and comparisons in the village.
A man took out 5,000 and wanted to find him a partner, and within a few days, he directly bought a machine worth 10,000 yuan, which was a slap in the face.
It means that the person has already slipped away first, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have the shame to come out.
But even if no one is here, it can't stop the folks from continuing to compare and talk.
"Let's go, go home and have dinner after you've seen it."
"Well, are you going to sea tomorrow?"
"Let's see if the wind is strong. If not, I'll go. My eldest and second brother just got the SF Express number, so I guess they can't wait to go there at night."
After the two walked out of the workshop, they parted ways.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were both sitting at the door with their rice bowls in hand chatting with the neighbors nearby. They were in high spirits during happy events. The two of them had never had their mouths hung up since they came back. They even had to eat at the door and chat with everyone.
They are all sailing back today.
They also chatted with Zhou Da about when their ship would be delivered.
Ye Yaodong said hello to them and went home to eat first.
Lin Xiuqing waited until it was time to go to bed before returning home as usual, and the couple could talk to each other.
"Are you ready for the two ships that just came back?"
"Just do as I said a few days ago, keep one on hand and rent the other out as usual."
"Then you will arrange for Wang Guangliang and others to go to the city to collect the goods tomorrow?"
"Yes, I happen to not be going to sea tomorrow. I will sail with them to the city tomorrow and collect one day's goods first. When I go to sea, I will let them collect it by themselves. They will collect one ship every day and come back. At the beginning, the local
If people don’t respond in time, the goods will definitely be out of stock, and there should be more the next day.”
"Then we have to carry the scale on board."
"Well, I'll buy another one and put it on the ship specially. If I go out to sea and hand it over to them, you will have to weigh it again and check it when the goods are taken back."
"I know this. I just feel so busy. I seem to be busy all of a sudden. I wasn't busy a while ago."
Ye Yaodong held the person in his arms, "Normally, I didn't do these things before I got the machine some time ago. Why don't we seize the time to do it now? When we are done, we can hand over the work to others, and we won't be so busy."
"I hope so. I have been busy these past few days from the time I opened my eyes until I closed them."
"I told you to ask someone to help you keep accounts, but you still refused."
"How can I let others keep track of my family's accounts? I already know how much money I have."
"Are you stupid? You just ask someone to keep accounts for you every day, record the goods delivered by Cai, record the people who work every day, and then help the workshop by the way. Someone will help you keep accounts. This is not saving money.
A lot of things? I didn’t say that I would give my family’s money to others.”
"Let me think about it."
“Hand over as much of the work as you can, so that you don’t have time to eat.”
"Then who should I call her? Hey, how about I call her Aguang's sister? Is the younger one called Dongqing?"
"It's okay. Anyway, just record the data. It's very convenient. When there is no accounting, let her work in the workshop."
"That's okay, then I'll go talk to her tomorrow. Huimei and the two little ones can't live without her now, otherwise it would be better to ask Huimei to come back and help me keep accounts."
"Anyway, it would be nice to have someone to keep the accounts. You don't have to do everything yourself. Look, your chin is pointed. Let me touch the flesh on your belly. It's all gone..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted his mischievous hand.
"Isn't it good that the meat on your belly is gone?"
"It's better if it has flesh. It's comfortable to hold. Without flesh, it's just bones that will hurt people."
"You're talking about yourself."
Ye Yaodong patted her back and said, "Go to bed early. I've been exhausted lately."
She thought he was going to do something, but didn't expect to do anything. She smiled and rubbed her head into his arms, hugged him, and closed her eyes.
"You should go to sleep. Do you have to go to the city tomorrow? Come back and collect the debt."
"Um."
The couple was about to go to bed when the little guy next to them suddenly sat up.
The two of them were startled. Seeing her sitting there motionless, they both sat up.
"Why is your daughter..."
I was about to pick up the baby and continue to coax her to sleep, but she crawled forward two steps, then lay down on her stomach again, sticking her butt out and continuing to sleep.
"I was shocked. I thought she was sitting up."
"Go to sleep."
Early the next morning, all the 10 people Ye Yaodong originally recruited came to work and had already moved to the workshop.
He ordered five people with experience at sea, and Wang Guangliang, and took them to the city on the new ship that came back yesterday.
Whoever rents the other new boat will leave it to his father.
On the way, he told a few people what he was going to do today, and also said that if he was not around in the future, Wang Guangliang would be responsible for receiving the goods.
When Wang Guangliang heard his name being called, he immediately stood up straight, his back straightened, and the expression on his face became serious, no longer playful.
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he approached him and whispered: "Brother Dong, I can't sail a boat. I can't tell the difference between south, south and north at sea. Does it matter..."
"What are you afraid of? As long as others can sail, you only need to be responsible for receiving the goods. I'm not asking you to sail. There are so many people who can sail."
"Okay, later I will learn from the other big brothers how to sail a boat and identify the direction."
"Well, you should work hard and be serious and responsible. It's the end of this month. I'll give you a salary increase next month. It happens to be New Year's Day, and it's been 86 years."
"Absolutely, then I'll just ask them to teach me how to drive it now."
"Go ahead."
Ye Yaodong tightened the collar of his clothes. It was too cold with the open top, so the Dongsheng was better. It wasn't cold when he sat in the cockpit.
Three large boats of the same color docked together in front, which can be regarded as a unique scenery in the village.
Seeing the eye-catching SF Express number above passing by, he couldn't help but want to laugh. His brother was also quite good at picking out names.
Chapter completed!
