Ye Yaodong stayed at Director Chen's house for two days in the city. When they went to work, he would go out, and when they came back, he would come back, which was equivalent to keeping him company. By the way, he also told them about his progress in and out of work these two days.
.
And the two days were not in vain. If I had any connections, I called him in advance and made an appointment to visit the factory. Everything went smoothly.
The four or five processing factories that came here should all come down. If they have goods that their factories need, they can send them over.
Ye Yaodong also wrote down what goods were being processed in each of their factories.
Some of them are duplicated, but it doesn't matter. He can just figure it out when the time comes. People don't rely on his products anyway.
The supply of the fresh food harvesting boat at home is considered to be in place, so there is no need to give it all to Ah Cai, who is also struggling to eat, so it is just right to share some of it among others.
It just so happened that his father would go to sea next, and he would run a fresh ship at home to arrange the goods. He could have goods delivered to those factories every now and then, and he could sustain himself.
He stayed at Director Chen's house for two days and got a reply from the machinery factory. Currently, there are two low-power dehumidification dryers available for sale.
Although high power can speed up drying, it also means higher energy consumption. For rural areas where the voltage is still unstable,
Of course, low power is preferred.
Even so, you still have to bother someone to pull a cable alone.
If it were Hong Wenle's fish cannery, high-power large-scale machines would definitely be the first choice. After all, he was a small workshop, so he would do it slowly.
Because of this matter, Ye Yaodong spent the next half month running back and forth between the provincial capital, the city, and his home without stopping for a moment.
Moreover, after his father drove the Ocean 1 to the sea, he even calculated the right time to sail the fresh ship and go to sea to collect the goods. He was so busy that he was dizzy and his feet did not touch the ground.
Although he was said to be at home, Lin Xiuqing didn't see him a few times.
Every time I came back in the middle of the night, I was always in a hurry. Even if I slept at home, I couldn't sleep for a few hours. I disappeared before dawn, and I couldn't even say a few words.
And Lin Xiuqing was not idle either. He told her that he would expand the warehouse of the factory in the next few days to accommodate the machines that would be shipped back in a while, and build a few more warehouses by the way.
Both husband and wife were so busy that they had no time to drink water.
After he pulled a cable alone again and carried the dryer back, he finally took a breath. It can be considered that the more than 20 days of work have not been in vain.
Running back and forth up and down, he didn't know how much effort it took and how many people he met to get everything done.
He is inexperienced and has to fumble around for everything.
When the two low-power dehumidifying and drying machines were delivered to the workshop, most of the people in the village came over to watch, and they were inundated with all kinds of complimentary words.
The 100,000 kilograms of deep-sea red squid he brought back before had been dried, collected and transported to the city for sale. If he had kept them until the machine came back, the day lilies would have been cold.
It had just been exposed at that time, and even the village and nearby villages digested a lot of it. Of course, there are children who don't like to eat it.
Now that we have a dryer, it can really save a lot of things.
It seems that his father will come back soon and he will be able to get back to work immediately.
Thinking of this, Ye Yaodong felt his waist and back hurt again. When his father's goods came back, he had to make a trip to the city to process the goods that had been dispatched.
Lin Xiuqing watched the machines land on the ground and adjusted them before she said to him: "If the weather is bad now, you can move the semi-dry ones in to dry them instead of leaving them to dry slowly.
Then it stunk.”
"Well, I've been running back and forth for almost a month, and I'm tired. I finally finished this matter."
Ye Yaodong also exhaled after finishing speaking.
"It's already April, and Tomb-Sweeping Day will be in a few days. Dad will definitely come back, and I can get back to work right away."
"I'll bring in some dried fish in the evening and try drying it."
"good."
The couple talked together, and after the technicians who came with them checked everything and found that there was no problem, they sent the person away enthusiastically.
"How much do these two machines cost?"
"A Dong is really getting bigger and bigger - such a big guy has bought it -"
"Does your family still need to recruit workers?"
"See if I can-"
Lin Xiuqing said: "We still have to plan and arrange this matter later. We must give priority to the people in our village. Now everyone gives way, we two have things to do."
After the two people came out of the crowd, they returned home first.
Ye Yaodong took off his coat immediately and took a big sip of tea for himself.
"It's come to an end now."
Lin Xiuqing sat down and said, "My dad said that the squid shreds that were delivered one after another have been sold out. If we still have some, please go in and deliver them quickly."
"Well, it just so happens that dad will be back soon. If the weather is good, we can dry them in the sun and dry them at the same time."
"You really have an idea. You can think of anything you see and do it."
"Isn't this all about making money so that you can live a good life?"
"We also spent 30,000 on the machine, workshop reconditioning, cables, and manpower and material resources during this period. Fortunately, the squid shreds that were exposed allowed us to make back our money immediately, and we still made money. It's really
Don’t tell me, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to sell.”
"Let me tell you, what's the best business to do these days? One is food and the other is clothing. What's the best way to make money? The answer is women and children. Most people have little resistance to delicious food."
"Aren't you men the best at making money and clearing your pockets?"
"That depends on the money."
Of course it's easy to pay for foot baths and back massages.
Ye Yaodong sat next to her and changed the subject, "So all the fussing and fussing these days has actually not cost much of the family fortune.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Why do I think it's a pity for you to say it? Hong Wenle has spent 50,000 yuan. I have also gone to see it and the construction is almost complete. I am just waiting for the machines to come in and start operations.
Get up, maybe you have to invest tens of thousands more."
"It's not much. The accounts settled by Ah Cai last month are enough to cover expenses, and the original capital has not been touched."
Ah Cai goes to settle accounts every half month, once in the middle of last month and once at the end of the month.
Several boats rented out by my family were also settled at the end of the month.
The income earned throughout last month was just enough to invest in the fish cannery.
This month will last until the end of the month, and once the accounts are settled, there will be enough money to invest in the fish cannery.
So in the final analysis, he didn't spend any money, he only relied on his earnings to invest.
He still has a good foundation.
In the past few years, as long as he made money, he would buy a boat, which gradually accumulated. Over time, these production tools were giving him a steady stream of income, filling up the current investment expenses.
"It's a pity that you fell in love?"
Lin Xiuqing saw that he was tired from all the work, so she stood up and walked behind him, giving him a squeeze on his shoulders.
"After all, if you keep your money at home, you are really afraid of getting wet or being bitten by mice. You see, now that we invest directly and turn it into fixed assets, we don’t have to worry. Moreover, these fixed assets can also bring us a steady stream of income.
It’s better than holding money in your hand.”
"Well, you're right."
"Ah ha, it's rare. Now you know what I said is right."
"I never said you did anything wrong, but you didn't even inform me, let me know in advance, and kill first every day, then tell me later."
"You have to have the opportunity to talk about it. Sometimes you can't explain things clearly when you're away from home, and it's inconvenient to discuss things. If you talk half the time and listen half the time, there may be a bigger misunderstanding. Anyway, I know that."
Lin Xiuqing didn't say much anymore. Anyway, what he said was reasonable.
"Go take a shower and take a rest. You have been running around for so many days and you haven't sat down to take a breath and take a good rest."
"Well, I'm going to take a shower, take a nap, and then go to town tomorrow to check on the progress of the fish cannery."
After all, that was a real factory construction, but it was not as fast as the reconstruction of his small workshop.
Fortunately, it's in town, close to home. He can go there every three days. It's right under his nose, which is much more convenient than in the city.
This is naturally what he invested the most in.
"I'll get you water. You go back to the house and take off your clothes first."
"good."
The old lady took over Lin Xiuqing's job, "I'll fetch water. You go back to the house with him and help him get some clothes to wear. You can also take a rest."
She couldn't get a word in since the couple entered the house, so she could only sit and listen to them talking about business. Now she finally had something to do.
"Would you like to cook something for you? Eat something before going to bed? If you go to bed at this time, you won't be able to catch up with dinner tonight, so you might as well eat something C
"I'll ask him if he's hungry."
"Okay, it's easy to make a snack. He can eat it as soon as he takes a bath."
Ye Yaodong was indeed hungry. It was hard work traveling back and forth, so how could he not be hungry?
Lin Xiuqing immediately went to light a fire and cook for him, but the old lady drove her into the house again.
"You go accompany him, and I'll come. You two are busy going back and forth every day, and you haven't even spoken to each other."
Her job was taken away, so she had no choice but to go inside.
As soon as she entered the room, she pinched her nose and said, "Don't your feet stink too much?"
Ye Yaodong raised his foot and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, "It seems to be quite smelly. Remember to wash my shoes for me."
"I'll take it out first."
After finishing a big task, he relaxed a little and thought about the next work while taking a bath.
There are a lot of things to do next, including the progress of the fish cannery, the start of the shredded squid workshop, and the fresh harvest ship that has to go out every two days to collect the goods. These things are all indispensable.
The kelp will be harvested soon, and ordinary people will probably come to collect kelp at the end of the month.
He didn't know if he would be able to leave by then. If he could, he would like to go to Zhoushi with a layman to arrange the land above.
Incapable of doing anything else.
Just thinking about it makes his head grow bigger.
When will the government repair the roads so that he can buy a car? Then it will be inconvenient to go there.
If the road conditions are good and he has a car, no matter where he goes, he can run back and forth in the same day and get things done.
"The one who rides on the horse——"
Lin Xiuqing had just taken out the smelly shoes, smelly socks and dirty clothes, and when she opened the door and walked in, she heard him swearing.
"What are you doing?"
"No, when I think about it, I feel like I won't have any free time. I'm still very busy as usual, so I might as well just stay at sea and relax."
"Yes, if you are at sea, just catch fish on the sea and don't worry about the trivial matters at home. If you are at home, there are many things to do, big and small things, relatives and friends, etc.
Things about the workshop, things about the workers. And now you have to add things about the factory and things about the fishing boat harvest."
"Well, I'm thinking that if we have some free time these days, let's apply for a phone line and install a phone at home."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "Should we install a telephone at home? It's not cheap, it costs several thousand."
"It would be convenient to have a phone call at home. I also want to apply for a special line in the city, so that we don't have to go to the village committee to answer the phone if anything happens. Most of the village committee's phone numbers are now available.
These are the ones we use the most."
"That's actually——"
"If I go to Zhou City in the second half of the year, I will use the phone at home more frequently, and it will be more convenient for you to hold a phone line."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "That's okay. Then tomorrow, can you take the time to go to the village committee to ask and apply?"
"Well, it just happened that the matter at hand has come to an end, so let's finish the matter of answering the phone first. Also, last month, I was told that the advanced youth evaluation was about to be completed, and it didn't show up. I will drop by tomorrow to ask."
"Then I'm busy again."
"There's nothing wrong with being busy with a purpose, just being busy in vain. What's the date today? What's the day of the week?"
"The 2nd is Qingming Sunday, so I don't have school."
"Oh, it looks like we'll have to wait until next week to get the phone line fixed."
"There's no rush."
Ye Yaodong nodded and said nothing.
Thinking about it, it's already April 2nd, so the old lady has already passed the time when she fell down in her previous life, right?
The time span was too long, and he vaguely remembered that he fell before Qingming Festival. After all, there was a festival, so he could still have an impression.
But it’s hard to remember the specific day.
Anyway, I didn’t live past May Day, and he died not long after the fall.
Fortunately, his busy schedule has come to an end now, so he should stay at home for a little longer and take a look.
"Aren't you cooking something for me?"
"The old lady rushed to do it and sent me to come in to talk to you. She said that the two of us were so busy that we probably didn't have a good conversation for a long time."
"It's quite considerate."
"Here comes someone, haha." Lin Xiuqing said with a smile.
The old lady at home is indeed sensible and discerning, does not cause trouble, saves trouble and is helpful, and it is not difficult to support her.
"Let her do less work. There is a lot of rain in spring, and she should pay more attention when she comes in and out. If anything happens, it will be very strenuous."
"I know, you've said it many times."
"As she gets older, she can't sit still, so she goes in and out every day to work on her order."
"Then you have to tell her. I told her that she should respond well and turn around to pick up the hoe when it's time to water the water. Just ignore it."
"Well, let's keep an eye on it. We'll go to bed together after dinner, just in time to get cleaned up."
Chapter completed!
