The villagers were very happy.
In the past two months, when the kelp was growing well, the men in the village had been paying close attention to it, as it was related to whether the whole village could achieve a well-off life.
Those who own boats and go out to sea every day will habitually visit the breeding base and occasionally lend a hand to help with some work.
Although these are not raised by everyone, they are grown up by everyone.
The money sold in this wave of sales in the evening could not reach everyone's pockets, but it also brought infinite joy to everyone. This is hope.
I also heard exactly what the village cadres said about sharing the risks equally. The village committee will also use the money earned this year to advance funds. Everyone just needs to contribute labor according to the work-point system. Who is not willing?
Everyone was excited and responded quickly, eager to follow suit now.
The village chief continued to smile and said: "A Dong came up with this kelp cultivation. Everyone has to thank him. He also provides the market. As long as we can grow it, we don't have to worry about anything else. It all depends on him."
"Otherwise, the yield per mu can be several tons. Just these 30 acres of land can produce hundreds of tons. Even if it is dried, there are dozens of tons. Who can afford this quantity and who has the ability to sell it? They all have to die.
In the sea, you have to feed the pigs, and now everyone has to rely on him and give him credit."
"Everyone knows that he is now rich, but he has not forgotten the collective even after he became personally rich. Now, everything he develops and does in the village is for the collective."
"Otherwise, he is developing well in other places and has the support of leaders. Why doesn't he move everything in the village outside? Isn't the city better than our small fishing village?"
"There are people in the village who don't like others, love to say mean things behind their backs, and are jealous of others. But as human beings, we must not forget our roots, and we must unite when we should be united."
"Unity is strength. Individualism is necessary and unity can move forward. Everything is for the collective. We all in the village must unite to protect the collective interests and maintain the collective unity. I believe that we will not be far away from achieving collective prosperity.
.”
The village chief improvised and spoke impassionedly. The villagers all fell silent and listened attentively. After he finished speaking, they applauded fiercely and applauded very much.
"Okay, the village chief is right, our village must unite."
"We also want to thank A Dong. He took everyone to Zhejiang Province to make a fortune, gave many people work, and now he has begun to mobilize the collective..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but admire in his heart, how else could he be the village chief? He just had to be able to talk and have the ability to incite the masses. Everyone who listened was excited, as if he could reach out and grab the money.
He felt particularly comfortable after hearing this. Everyone likes to be praised and praised.
"Thank you. I grew up in this village, and many of my uncles watched me grow up. Although sometimes I am a little out of tune, I am also a member of the collective, and I must be thinking that our village will get better and better.
"
"Haha, it's a bit late after today's work. Everyone, please go home and have dinner. If you still want to come over and check the scale tomorrow, come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, you can also bring over the kelp you dried at home, but it must be more beautiful and have larger leaves. After all, I have to sell it to others. How can I give poor things to others and ruin the reputation of our village?
It’s not good for us either, and it will also affect sales.”
Everyone immediately agreed.
"Definitely..."
"I'm sure I'll keep the ones that are not in good quality for myself to eat. I won't be embarrassed to take them out and sell them to others."
"That's right, we must check it before bringing it over..."
Everyone was excitedly beating their chests and making promises, fearing that something would go wrong and the opportunity to make a fortune would be missed.
The village chief also said: "Okay, let's all disperse. There is still life here, and there is still a lot of finishing work, so don't block the door."
"Okay, let's go home and have dinner..."
After everyone left, Ye Yaodong also arranged for someone to clean up the kelp.
Father Ye had just gone to take a few bites, and now he was watching from here. It was his turn to go back to eat. At this point, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
Only he and Ah Qing haven't eaten yet.
Lin Xiuqing was also extremely happy, "The village chief is really good at talking and being a good person. If anyone dares to say bad things about us in the future, others will take the initiative to take it back for us, and no one will dare to report us."
"They are also human beings, and they have set us up. No matter how much harvest we get in the coming year, we have to eat it. Fortunately, our store has been open for two or three years, and we already have a group of familiar customers, not only Boss Zhou, but also a few
A small boss and a large group of hawkers consume a lot of money in the army."
"Then do you have to continue to develop, otherwise there will be dozens of tons this year and not thousands of tons next year? This amount is scary..."
Thinking of this, she became a little worried again. This was not a small quantity. This year, dozens of tons were enough. They could only sell a batch first and sell them later.
Even if we try to grow it again next year, with so much labor, the expansion of planting will probably double the number twenty or thirty times.
This number is amazing when you think about it.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhou is a big customer, and we are all familiar with it. Last year, we all said that we need as much as we can, but this year we have just started. I want a batch first, and I will definitely ask for more later. Moreover, as long as there is a market for kelp, we will
Someone will come to your door. There is a shortage in the inland areas. Our country has such a large population."
"Then someone has to buy it and circulate it..."
"It's not too early to worry. There are many truck drivers who will load a truckload of goods and then take them to other towns to sell them. Our store is there, so don't worry."
He had already had an idea. Looking at her worried and uneasy look, he said directly.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will take this cart of goods to the city, walk around the downtown and main streets, and then take it to the entrance of the market to display it for a long time. Finally, I will let people who want to buy come back the day after tomorrow. This cart
Send it to Boss Zhou first."
"Some people like to gather in places where there are many people selling goods. Isn't this a good publicity? The wholesale market has a large flow of people, so people will naturally come to visit."
Lin Xiuqing's brows relaxed when she heard this, "This is feasible."
"It's definitely feasible. Even if I don't send it to Boss Zhou, if I go around the city and around the countryside, I'll probably sell more than half of it. I can still make a little more money, but it's just a little more laborious."
"The worst-case scenario is that our two tractors are just going to sell goods in the surrounding areas. Think about it, in the past, whenever a truck came to pull a load of goods, the villagers would rush to buy them if they were cheap enough.
"
"Is this kelp cheap enough? Besides, it's still dry goods. If you can't sell it for a while, you can still store it."
Another point is that he knows that some places in the south have begun to try to cultivate abalone, sea cucumber and other high-end products, which use kelp as feed.
So what are you worried about? There is no need to worry at all.
He has been encouraging village cadres to submit application reports to the research institute to see if they can apply for some species suitable for farming to develop the village. Their successful kelp farming is also a case study.
During this time, he stayed at home and went to the bottom of the sea to fish for a wave, and let everyone see that sea cucumbers and abalone can also grow in their sea area.
Wouldn't it be logical to establish offshore fishing rafts by then?
However, he saw that the cadres at the village office were not very enthusiastic. They were probably satisfied with just one piece of kelp, and it was enough to eat, so they probably didn't want to take the risk of messing with anything else.
For large-scale breeding, there are not many places in the sea area to produce fish fillets, so they have to be placed in other areas.
He thought that maybe he could encourage his godfather to file a report, or he could directly apply through the Fisheries Association in the name of the vice president of the Fisheries Association, with the help of the Oceanographic Bureau, and then release it into the sea areas around the city in the hope of returning the favor.
Can be bigger.
Thinking of this, he planned to take care of this matter when he delivered the goods to the city tomorrow, sooner rather than later. Anyway, make more preparations.
When the time comes, he really builds fishing rafts for cultivating sea cucumbers and abalone in the villages around the city. No matter how much kelp he has, he can eat it, and there is no need for the village to digest it internally. He can directly bring it through an intermediary, and he can make a lot of money.
In their last life, there were many breedings in their city, so all of them were retreats.
It is impossible for the village to start large-scale breeding all at once, it must be done step by step.
However, since this one has not yet been revealed, he will not mention it for now.
Lin Xiuqing heard what he said was clear and logical, and knew that he had a plan in his mind. He had already planned it, and he was not just doing it on a whim. She was relieved that he wouldn't have to throw hundreds of tons of goods into his hands when the time came.
"Then I'm relieved. This year's goods are only a few thousand yuan, and we can still afford the advance payment. If the goods cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands by then, it will be life-threatening."
"Then we won't be able to get the money right away. We will definitely have to wait for our goods to be sold, and then we will pay you gradually in half a month and a month. Today is just the first time, I will give everyone a taste of the benefits, and the quantity
It’s not much, I just gave it away, making everyone happy.”
"Well, it's time to go home for dinner. It's getting dark and I'm starving."
“Did the longline arrive today?”
"It was delivered during meal time, and I piled it up in the yard, fearing that it would be kicked over by people coming and going in the workshop."
Ye Yaodong also stepped into the courtyard door and saw ten baskets of longline fish piled in the corner.
He asked Ah Qing to go in and load the food first, while he checked in the yard. He didn't go in until Lin Xiuqing called him to eat.
"Then you are going to deliver kelp tomorrow and go out to sea to fish with long lines?"
"The tide is high at night and has not yet receded early tomorrow morning. I will go out to sea early tomorrow morning to put the longline into the sea and then come back. It will only take two or three hours. Then someone will load a cart of kelp first and wait for me.
return."
"good."
Tomorrow's work was also quite important. He had to go there in person, otherwise he would just leave it to others.
It's really not that easy to make money.
After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he immediately went to the workshop to check the arrangement of kelp. Everyone was still busy there wrapping it in nylon bags.
He took a sack and asked someone to fill it and put it neatly.
Anyway, it just weighed 5 tons and more than 600 kilograms. He asked someone to fill a bag and set it aside tomorrow to send to his godfather.
Such a large amount will definitely be distributed to the neighbors. Although it is not very valuable, it is still free after all. It is all my heart.
It's not a valuable thing and it's not burdensome to carry. No one will refuse it. It's just a good name for him in the family building.
The room is full of square nylon bags. If they hadn't been vacated earlier, there would be nowhere to put them.
After finishing the kelp work, others went next door to help carry the goods delivered by Ah Cai, and Ye Yaodong also locked up the storage room.
He then went to the fish-killing workshop next door, which was in full swing. There was only a wall between the two plots of land, but they were two extremes.
Fortunately, they were separated, and it could barely be considered dry and wet separation.
Those old ladies are killing fish while discussing the weighing of kelp just now. What they get is always first-hand information, and what they discuss is always the latest headlines.
He walked around in a circle and took Ah Cai, who was listening to the excitement, to stand aside and chat.
Ah Cai had just finished weighing the goods, finishing the order, and was chatting with his father.
"Brother Cai, have you made a lot of money recently?"
"Haha, isn't it all thanks to my brother? If you leak a little from between your fingers, I can survive. Now I rely entirely on you to make money."
"In that case, I also need your help. Otherwise, it will be too laborious to send people everywhere to collect the goods. Why don't I give you the job package and let you arrange it."
He opened a pack of cigarettes, handed two cigarettes to Ah Cai, and lit a cigarette for him. Ah Cai was very happy.
"Now that I can let you light a cigarette for me, my face looks brighter."
"We're all friends, what's wrong with lighting up a cigarette? Look at your big belly and bald head, you look like a boss, and I look like a little brother."
"Don't laugh at me, anyone can do this job. Agui and the others at the dock can also collect the goods for you, or you can send a few workers to the town dock to collect the goods. You specifically gave the goods to me to collect,
Let me earn this money, I know it very well."
"There is a more profitable job, do you want to do it?"
"What kind of work? Don't you have enough goods? I can't do anything else except collecting and selling goods."
Ye Yaodong put his arm on his shoulder and walked towards the door to avoid too much noise inside.
"Are you interested in selling goods at the market?"
"Ah? As for the small amount of goods at our wharf, we don't need to bring them to the market. The surrounding vendors will digest them and send them to the county at most, unless it is the flood season or there is a big harvest of some kind of fish. Do you want me to sell squid or something?
?”
"No, my fresh-harvesting ship is about to arrive. A few of my own ships are enough for docking, but it takes time to process these goods ashore, and I can't squat in the market all the time to sell goods, so I thought of you."
There are also people collecting fish at the pier. The fresh fish collecting boats have all kinds of goods. People who specialize in collecting fish will pick out what they need. It is impossible to eat them all. Those are goods worth thousands or even tens of thousands. They also need to collect fish from other boats.
I will only accept what I need, and it must be accessible.
A small buying place can't handle a lot of goods. Likewise, he's not the only one in the business. After all, all transactions require cash.
For the rest, you have to find a buyer yourself, or send it to the wholesale market to wait for a buyer. In the past, they took it directly to the wholesale market, which saves one step. Although you have to pay for freight, you can still make more money if you have more goods.
Now he has a hard time selling a boatload of goods, let alone collecting a whole boatload of fresh goods. He directly arranges for his younger brother to stay and sell the goods. He is also worried that others will take his money and run away. After all, he pays with one hand.
First hand delivery.
He himself can't stay in the market all day long, and if he can't sell all the goods, he has to stack them in the icehouse and continue the next day, so he has to transfer the goods to others, which can save him more trouble.
You only need to cooperate with Ah Cai. He is responsible for driving a fresh ship to collect a circle of goods at sea. After docking, he will weigh the goods to Ah Cai and bill him according to the purchase price of the dock that day.
For the rest, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper and don't have to take care of anything, letting Ah Cai sell the goods by himself and make a profit from the price difference.
With so many goods, you can make a lot of money, but it takes time and requires upfront capital costs.
But it doesn't matter if you can make more money, it doesn't matter if you spend some time. Ah Cai's behavior of helping him receive the goods is also to make more money, and the wholesale market will become more and more prosperous.
He is also targeting Ah Cai, who is quite capable. He definitely doesn't have much money on hand. If not, he can find a partner with relatives and friends.
In fact, he could also go to Lao Hai and sell the goods to him. He seems to be well-connected and has abundant funds, and he can now make a living at the dock.
But Lao Hai was in the provincial capital, and he found it difficult to go around to the provincial capital and then back to the city. It would be better to encourage Ah Cai to develop in the city and earn money for him.
"Think about it, how much can you collect in the village? What I ask you to help collect is only cheap fish, and the income is limited. It will be different if you go to the city to develop."
"A fresh-picking ship carries dozens of tons of cargo, and all of it is given to you. Although the cost of advance capital is high, the return rate is also high. And isn't that store in your city not rented out? You can also use it and pile up more.
The ice cubes can be converted into ice storage and can be used to store unsold goods when the time comes. This is also ready."
The information Ah Cai sent him was shocked, and he frowned, unable to think clearly.
"You also have a fresh harvest boat... You plan to eat it directly from beginning to end without revealing any soup..."
"That's right. If I didn't have someone I can trust, it would be troublesome to send it to the provincial capital. I don't have to drag you. I'll transfer the goods to you and let you make the difference."
If he could have any fish processing factory of his own, it would be a one-stop shop.
Now we only have half a dragon, the cheap ones are used for drying, the worthless ones are used for fermentation, and the rest are sold to Ah Cai.
"Let me think about it. I suddenly left such a big thing behind. I have to think about it. It's dozens of tons. Except for the squid season and your crazy fishing for toad fish in winter, it's rare to have so much goods in one day. At most
Occasionally, if you encounter schools of Balang fish, schools of dragonhead fish, schools of pomfret, etc., there will be more goods.”
"Actually, the nature is the same. You were also collecting retail households in the village, but now you are directly collecting large households like me. Doesn't this have more room for development? There is still unlimited hope in the city."
"I have to go home and think about it."
"Then you go back and think about it. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. I have a fixed source of goods, or if you are worried about advancing funds, find two more people to join forces. Originally, you can't do this alone, so you have to hire someone."
"I'll go back and think about it, when will your fresh-harvest boat start collecting goods? Why didn't I hear that you had another fresh-harvest boat, and I didn't see any fishing boats coming in."
"At the end of next month, or at the beginning of June, it depends on the situation. It's still a long time, so you can think about it carefully. If you feel that you can't bear it and want to stay in the village, that's fine. I'll find someone else."
"It's still a month or so away, so that's okay, don't worry, I'll think about it."
"Well, you generally know the situation in the city. You also have shops in the wholesale market. You also know that the market is getting more and more prosperous. How much traffic there are around, how much seafood is shipped out every day, and I heard that seafood will be processed this year.
There are a lot more factories.”
Ah Cai nodded, with a rare serious look on his face, "I know, I will consider it carefully."
"Well, in a big place, there are more opportunities. Go out and hang out, maybe you can become a famous fishing boss in the city, and you can develop other industries in the future."
He smiled and said, "With your mouth, you can talk about life and death."
"Haha, that's not the case. I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. It's a win-win situation. Of course I hope you will go to the city to do it together."
"Then if I go to the market, your workshop will be out of supplies and will need to find someone else..."
"Are you kidding me? When I get the fresh boat, you will also lose your job here. I will sell you a whole boat full of valuable goods, and I can still send back the worthless ones to dry the fish, and there is no need to go through it.
Your hand, let your middlemen make a profit."
Ah Cai was silent for a moment, "Then I will really be beaten back to my original shape, and I will no longer be able to earn money and drink soup from you."
"That is to say, I have the goods myself, so of course I don't have to go outside to collect them. If you think about it, our cooperation can be considered a win-win situation."
"Okay, wait until I go to the market soon to have a look and investigate."
"Okay, you should be more careful."
"You are really getting better and better. Hey...it has only been so long. It seems that the whole village can follow you and drink soup."
"Who knows, I just kept working and ended up like this. I didn't expect the stall to be so big. I just wanted the whole family to have enough food and clothing, and just have some small assets."
Ah Cai shrugged expressionlessly, shook off his hand on his shoulder, and walked away.
"Hey? What are you doing? Where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet..."
"I have nothing to say to you."
"No, didn't we have a good chat just now? You even smoked two of my cigarettes, and I ordered them..."
Ah Caili ignored him and continued walking towards the village.
Ye Yaodong followed him and continued to read, "I didn't think much about it at first. I just thought that I couldn't keep the money in my hands and had to use it in production to make money, so I kept buying ships, buying big ships, doing this and that..."
Ah Cai's pace slowed down a bit, and these words that could still be heard were more pleasant to the ears than what he just said.
"...Who would have known that there would be more and more people behind me, and more and more things to consider, and the result would be like this, which is far different from the original idea. There are more and more industries, and it is exhausting...
…”
Ah Cai felt that he should not slow down, so he quickened his pace and strode towards the village, leaving behind the people behind him.
"Hey... listen to what I have to say... why are you walking so fast? I don't eat people, so I just want to chat with you..."
Can't this person be a good listener?
What's wrong with hearing about Versailles?
He left before he finished speaking. It was rare that he had a strong desire to chat at night.
Ye Yaodong smiled and walked back. After talking for a long time, he wasted a lot of water and he was also thirsty.
The workshop is in good order now, and there is no need for him to stay in it. He just happens to go home and go to bed early. He is tired after working for so long.
Tomorrow I have to get up early to go out to sea for longline fishing, and then I have to go to the city.
Ye's father and Ye's mother have been helping in the workshop, and they have stayed there until now.
At this time, I also planned to go home and rest, as Ye’s father would go to sea at night.
It was rare for the old couple to walk together with smiles on their faces. They chatted while walking. They looked so harmonious that Ye Yaodong felt like the moon was about to come out in the east.
However, every time the two of them came out of the workshop, they seemed to be in a good mood. Probably all they heard inside were compliments, envy, and flattery. If they were in a bad mood, they would go in for a walk and come out and they would feel better.
Father Ye was still playing with his private seal in his hand, and his old face was filled with laughter.
"I carry that thing of yours with me all day long, and I'm not afraid of losing it."
"No, I won't lose it if I hold it in my hand. I will put it away when I get home at night. I can't take it with me when I go to sea all day long. I only have a day off when I come back and then I have to go to sea again. I have been busy there today.
I can only take advantage of the time to play now."
"Come on, there's no one around now, so no one else can see it, so just put it away."
Father Ye laughed and said, "Why don't you put it under your pillow and take it out from time to time?"
"Insanity, just take a fresh look in the first few days. If anyone is like you, I would have locked them in a drawer."
"That's because you're at home every day and you're tired of seeing it."
"Too lazy to tell you..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and shook his head. He was standing in the corner, surrounded by darkness, and his parents did not notice him.
I was thinking about when I would buy his father two walnuts and put them in his hands to play with...
He walked directly to his house and drove the three children who were still playing at the door back to bed.
"Your elder brother laughed at you this morning and forgot to make you stand? Are you still running after him now?"
Ye Xiaoxi tilted his head, "Brother said he would take me to catch him tomorrow..."
It was too late for Ye Chenghu to cover her mouth.
"Ye Chenghu, are you itchy?"
"Dad, she's talking nonsense, I want to go to school."
"Brother said that all the brothers and sisters should go and not bring other children! He asked me to give the candy to him and not to anyone else."
Ye Chenghu became angry and said, "Shut up, I won't take you with me."
"You are really promising."
Ye Chenghu hurriedly ran home and ran upstairs.
Ye Yaodong also picked up Ye Xiaoxi, "Don't listen to his lies, he just wants to trick you into eating candy. Have you forgotten the beating you received today? When he comes back clean tomorrow, you will still be beaten when the time comes.
.”
"My brother said he would take me to my aunt to take a bath, but my mother didn't know."
"Damn, Ye Chenghu is just like a pig at other times, but this one is really clever. I'll catch him and give him a good beating tomorrow."
"Second brother said it!"
Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengyang again, and Ye Chengyang also ran upstairs quickly.
"I just said Ye Chenghu is not that smart."
"Hehehehehe..."
Chapter completed!
