Ye Yaohua went to call Ye Yaopeng, but he was already weighing the goods, so Ye Yaohua had no choice but to forget it and said nothing. He just helped to carry the goods together. The goods of their two ships will be collected by Chen Jiannian for the time being.
Others were happier after missing two houses and not queuing up, but some were dissatisfied, because after the tractors were full, the remaining goods had to wait for the next trip.
Those who had already sold the goods happily collected the bills of sale and prepared to carry the empty baskets and buckets and get back to the boat as soon as possible. They wanted to go directly to sea to fish first. Time is money.
Those who had not sold the car were all upset and urged Chen Jianian to contact the car dealer again to collect it.
"Hurry up, otherwise who will lose our losses?"
"That's right. You just took away half of it, and you still can't take away the remaining car. You still want two more cars. What should we do?"
"Hurry up and contact us again. Are there any other tractors in the factory?"
"We have brought all our goods here and put them in the sun to dry. What should we do?"
Chen Jianian was so anxious that he kept wiping his sweat, "Wait a minute, you guys, there's nothing we can do if there are too many goods. There are too many ships and too many goods. It's normal that one car can't be collected. What's more, you all landed at once this morning. It's too much."
It's temporary, it's normal if we can't queue up a car..."
"Don't say anything that is normal or abnormal. You have to solve it for us quickly. These goods have to be taken away as soon as possible."
"The car has just left, we have to wait..."
"Then how long do you have to wait? The waiting time is too long, who will be responsible if it melts?"
"Wait, wait, Comrade Ye Yaodong and the others have already been contacted. The other cars should be arriving soon. When the cars come, they will collect them. Whichever car arrives first will be collected. Same, same.
Please feel at ease..."
"How long will it take..."
"Be patient, the car has just left..."
Chen Jianian was surrounded by a group of people. He also had a big head. Moreover, it was an August day and the sun was hot. Standing under the sun, he was sweating like water. He was also anxious and thirsty.
In fact, the cargo of four or five ships has been collected, but more than half of the cargo has not been collected. And together they and the boatmen saw a large number of people, all surrounding you and urging each other,
It makes people very irritated.
Listening to his comforting shouts to the villagers, Ye Yaodong and A Guang also looked at each other and smiled.
No one forced him, he took the initiative to use them as a shield, and said that it would be the same for anyone, so there was nothing to worry about going on.
Anyway, he admitted that Aguang could also work with him as an intermediary to receive goods, so he didn't have to worry anymore.
"Dongzi, Aguang, when will the car you contacted arrive?"
"Is it soon? We will just finish the phone call and come back before you do."
Aguang looked at his watch and stretched his neck to look around to see if any new cars were coming. Logically speaking, half an hour had passed, so it should have arrived, right?
Ye Yaodong was also looking around. He saw a white Dongfeng truck driving towards the dock in front of him, but he didn't know if it was the truck.
There were far fewer people on the shore now, and it had been more than an hour since they landed.
Those who came ashore to sell goods in the morning would almost finish their sales and return to the sea, or they would go home and have lunch before noon.
They all looked expectantly at the approaching Dongfeng truck, hoping that this truck would be...
However, the car stopped 20 meters away from them, and a middle-aged man got out of the passenger seat and looked around.
When the other party looked towards them, Aguang also actively approached him, ready to strike up a conversation and see if there was no loss.
Ye Yaodong just stood there and watched. It was so hot that he was too lazy to move or run under the sun. Anyway, he couldn't follow A Guang all the time. A Guang was not stupid.
Sure enough, not long after, Aguang ran excitedly and shouted: "Yes, yes, this is the white Dongfeng truck. Everyone, please line up and wait for the weighing to receive the goods."
"Ah! The car is here?"
"The bus is here? Hurry up and get in line... don't waste any more time..."
"Hurry up and line up, hurry up and line up, it's the same line just now, don't crowd, don't crowd..."
"Don't crowd. There are only a few people in total. Why should we crowd..."
Aguang saw that they were in a mess and wanted to get to the front of the queue for fear of having to wait for the next bus. He quickly comforted them.
"Don't panic, everyone. You don't have to wait any longer this time. Did you see it? This is a Dongfeng truck, not a tractor. It can carry more and can definitely pull a whole truck away."
Ye Yaodong also helped and said: "Yes, this car is big, I will take it away as soon as it comes. You see, I am not in a hurry. I am still standing and let you get in first. If there are any left, I will be the one left."
Come on, what's the rush?"
Let their goods be weighed first, and then taken away after being weighed. When the time comes, there will be no ships following him when he goes to sea after selling.
Under the shouts of the two people, the team also became orderly. The Dongfeng truck came with a large scale with weights. The boatman helped lift it down and weighed it directly. Aguang also helped weigh the goods.
Ye Yaodong also called his boatman to go down and move the goods.
His father was probably worried to death. A wave of people had already sailed away, but they were still at the end.
The agreed-upon delivery was done immediately. Two people came, one weighed the goods and the other carried a canvas bag.
A Guang took the weighed list and went to check out the middle-aged man who had just got off the car. It turned out that he was Uncle Yang. Ye Yaodong also helped weigh it. After weighing, he took the red list and went to check out for A Guang.
After Aguang received the money on site, he deducted 5 points, and then gave the money directly to Uncle Jingye, who was the first in line to sell goods.
Just now, he was about to leave after weighing, but he was pulled back and asked to wait for a while before leaving after settling the bill. He was confused for a moment, but when he saw the real cash in hand, his mouth split open.
"Is it really true?"
"Of course it's settled now. Can you count the amount correctly? If not, we can check it right away."
While one account has just been settled and the next one has not yet been weighed and billed, he still has time to check the account.
After Lin Jingye counted the money correctly, he also cheered up and shouted to everyone who was still queuing: "Everyone, this big truck is paid in cash. It is different from the tractor just now. I have already got the money."
The people who were still waiting in line were all surprised and instantly exploded.
"Pre-made?"
"Is this car that just arrived ready-made?"
“It’s so well done now!”
"Yes, you will get money immediately after selling it. This is great..."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. It is of course the best to deliver the goods with one hand and pay the money with the other hand. It is best to be safe and secure.
However, Chen Jianian was not happy. This meant that half of the money was divided and he originally thought that it was all in his pocket.
However, he suddenly thought of a good idea, and said to everyone with a smile: "This is a good deal. If you are at home, it would be best to take the money home immediately after you settle it."
"But you are on the boat, and you don't know how long it will take to fish before you get home. It's not safe to leave so much money around. You might as well settle it once in a few days, and take a large amount to the post and telecommunications office for deposit, or wire it back."
Everyone immediately felt that what he said made sense. It was not safe to put too much money on one's body when going out. It only looked good to pay once every few days.
"But there is no way, there is no tractor coming to collect the goods. In order to save time, we can only sell it quickly and wait for the afternoon or tomorrow to take a look."
"Yeah, now I have no choice but to sell it first."
"Sell it first. It's a good thing if you can buy it first and get the money. At worst, we've been saving for two days, so let's go save it together. The post office is not far away anyway."
"Yes, although the tractor can't fit in it, this truck can fit it all. There's nothing wrong with getting the money right away. After a long time, I'm worried about the long nights and dreams."
After hearing this, Ye Yaodong felt that the cash flow was not so good anymore, but it was good to get money. Anyway, it depends on the villagers' choice, and it also depends on whether the tractor he called was not in time. If not in time, there would be nothing wrong.
Originally, letting A Guang work as an intermediary was to let him pass the time, learn more about the twists and turns outside, and earn more money.
Now it’s okay to list all the advantages and disadvantages and let the villagers make their own choices. Anyway, no matter what the villagers choose, Aguang will still earn something else.
The team carried out the weighing in an orderly manner. After the weighing, they took the money and counted it. It was quite refreshing to take it now, with a lot of money in hand.
There were more and more jellyfish on the white Dongfeng truck, and only Ye Yaodong's goods were left at the back.
Ye Yaodong was a little unsure for a moment. Originally, he thought that his goods would be harvested every year by the Chen family, but now it seems that Dongfeng Trucks' goods are almost finished, and his tractors haven't even arrived yet, so he has to
A little embarrassed.
And others looked at him.
"Do you guys still weigh yourself? If you don't weigh me, I'll just drive away."
His father also looked at him in embarrassment, then looked at Chen Jiannian.
Ye Yaodong also looked at Chen Jiannian. Others could sell to whomever they wanted, but he couldn't.
"You see, we were at the end of the queue and just wanted to wait for the tractor..."
After Chen Jianian regained his mental balance, he smiled politely and said: "You should weigh yourself quickly. You don't have to wait for the tractor. He probably won't be able to get through. I was the one who rushed to the factory to make him follow me."
You have to help me collect the goods first."
"It's probably going to be difficult now. I'll have to call him later to tell him not to come over. You have too many ships and there's nothing you can do about it. The tractors can't fit in one truck. We'll have to go elsewhere to load the goods."
"While there is still space on the truck, sell what you can. You can just take it away without worrying about me. The truck you arranged to call can help me solve the problem."
Father Ye smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Hey, that's okay, then I'll weigh it first and sell it first."
"well."
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief.
He only had two ships of cargo left. He weighed them and recorded them very quickly. After recording them, he calculated the general ledger.
The combined cargo of his two ships was quite a lot, more than what his eldest and second brother had just weighed. They sold for 182 yuan and 15 cents. Aguang took away 9 yuan and 1 cents, leaving him with 173 yuan.
5 points.
That's great, it's only the morning of the first day.
He put the money in his pocket and put it away, then smiled and thanked Uncle Yang.
Aguang also thanked them again and again and asked them to come back in the afternoon, and he would call in advance then.
Uncle Yang was very happy and agreed directly. Being able to receive so many goods in one trip was a win-win situation for him. Although it is a bit troublesome to pay cash, it is good to receive the goods. After all, all jellyfish are now
The agency is taking over, and it's a new factory.
After sending the people away, Ye Yaodong was also in a hurry to get on the boat. It was almost lunch time. Although he and his father were full, the other boatmen hadn't eaten yet.
They had to quickly sail back to the island to have a quick lunch and then start fishing immediately.
"Aguang, let's go first. You and Brother Chen are waiting at the pier. Don't run around. If you have anything to do, go to the Public Security Bureau to find Comrade Yang Guoan. If he is not here, he has told other police officers."
"I know, don't worry, even a big guy like me won't be lost, and the police comrades will also look after me."
They also said this to other people on the dock. After all, they had just sold out and made a lot of money. Everyone saw it, so there was no guarantee that there would be no one with ulterior motives.
Moreover, their accents are not local. Although they are both Minnan dialects, their intonations are very different, but they can still communicate.
"Remember to buy me some wheat cakes around two or three in the afternoon. We will dock again around that time."
"knew."
"Then my father and I will leave first."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Father Ye was worried and told him not to run around. He also went to the police station to wait when he had nothing to do. Father Ye was also worried that he would be robbed or extorted due to the money in his pocket.
After Aguang and others left, he and Chen Jianian went to the corner to share the money. He also took about 50 yuan from the commission for the car just now, which was a huge sum. This car directly earned more than half a month's salary of the boatman.
Those of them who go out to fish for jellyfish earn higher wages than the boatmen at home. This trip is calculated as 90 yuan a month.
After all, the risk is greater, and if it rains or there is an accident, you will be in the province without doing anything, and you will not be as comfortable as at home.
Next, there will probably be two more trips, and the number may not be as large as this morning. After all, this morning they encountered a large group of floating jellyfish.
Aguang and Chen Jiannian happily split the bill, each with 25 yuan. They were both in a good mood. Chen Jiannian was not unhappy at the beginning. They were both happy to have the money.
Chen Jianian thought to himself that what he gave out was not a lot, so it was still a win-win situation. Although the profit was reduced, the problem of receiving the goods was also solved, and it was one less troublesome thing.
And Aguang has already divided 25 yuan from this wave, thinking that he can divide 80 yuan today, two to three thousand yuan after one month of work, and five or six thousand yuan after two months of work!
Proper blood profit!
In addition, he also owns a big boat and gets a share of the two boats, and he becomes rich~
He is also very contented, and is not greedy to eat them all. He also has to give others a way to survive, otherwise the rabbit will bite people when it is in a hurry. Anyway, he will do this this year, and next year he will do something big to earn more.
That is, when will his father's ship arrive?
Judging from Cai Fan's expression, he instantly became anxious again, "Brother Chen, I'm going to make a call first. Is it okay for you to be here alone?"
"Let's go together. I have company. I also have to make a phone call to make sure I'm safe. A lot of people just rushed to the post and telecommunications office. There's no time to call home. I can only call the factory first to get their goods."
The problem has been arranged.”
"Then let's go together."
The two of them were walking and chatting. The atmosphere was harmonious and their relationship seemed to be very harmonious. At least they maintained face.
After Ye Yaodong got on the boat, he asked his father to drive the boat quickly. They were in a hurry, so he raised his hand and asked Brother Aseng to drive the boat and follow them.
While sailing, he discussed with his father that they would go to the island to have a meal, and they were going to go straight to the trench, and then each of them would drive a boat and take command.
The father and son have been thinking about that trench for a long time.
Fortunately, his eldest cousin was also smart and left him to watch over the temporary camp. He didn't just sit around. When the time came, he cooked rice in advance, steamed dried fish, and cooked pickle soup with potatoes.
A big pot.
As soon as they arrived at the island, they had food to eat immediately. However, most of the others who had left earlier had already disappeared. They had probably finished their meals and went to the sea to catch jellyfish without stopping.
While they were eating, people in the open space next to them also finished eating and got on the boat one after another and ran away. Only one person was left on each boat to watch on the island. After all, their household items and jellyfish blood were still drying on the island.
superior.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also knew what they were thinking. They didn't leave even after eating. They just waited there and planned to go together. In fact, they were too impressed by last year.
After the meal, the father and son left their elder cousin behind as usual. They each drove a boat and took the others to fish.
The eldest cousin was also very happy that Ye Yaodong left him to visit his home, which showed that he trusted him the most.
On the sea all the way to the trench, you can see floating trawlers from time to time. Small wooden boats fish on the coast around the village. Only trawlers can drive farther out, which also avoids competition between large and small fishing boats, and jellyfish are floating far and near.
The villages in this area make enough money every year by fishing jellyfish in small boats, so they saw many more small wooden boats this year than last year.
They drove all the way, fishing all the way, and were not in a hurry. When they saw jellyfish, they slowed down and approached. This year has just begun, and according to them, the number is not many.
Fortunately, where they were going, they only saw a few trawlers sporadically.
When they got farther and farther and approached the trench, the surrounding fishing boats were no longer visible, and there were more jellyfish floating on the sea, but they were all inside the bend.
This trench is also located on the edge of an island. It is relatively remote and far away from the normal shore. Moreover, the shape of this island is somewhat similar to a long U-shape. Last year, if they had not followed a group of sea turtles to fish for jellyfish, they would have
Can't find it here either.
The four fathers and sons each drove a boat, and when they saw the front, they all stopped at the same time, and then shouted to each other: "Dongzi, it looks like there are not many..."
"It's nothing compared to last year. It seems to be almost the same as in the morning..."
"Dad, do you want to get closer? What did Dongzi say?"
"Maybe the flood season has just begun, and the sun is at its strongest at noon, so not all jellyfish are floating on the water, so the number looks very small."
Father Ye also shouted: "As little as possible, that's probably why we started fishing. Anyway, just fish it here. There will be more than what's scattered outside. At least it's concentrated here, and it'll be enough for us to catch today."
"
"Well, come back and take a look tomorrow. There should be more and more of them day by day."
"Then there's no need to squeeze in. Just fish nearby a little bit slowly. It's enough for our four boats..."
The boatmen on the boat did not stand and watch when they stopped the boat. There were scattered jellyfish floating around. They all stretched out their bamboo poles to poke them, and used hand nets to catch those who were closer.
Ye Yaodong and the others also started working immediately. He divided the pieces quickly, so he let others do the work while he sat and divided it alone.
Zeng Weimin also stayed on his boat, watching them catch jellyfish along the way, and asked curious questions.
"How did you discover this location? The purpose is so clear, you ran straight here as soon as you left the island."
Ye Yaodong worked hard and replied, "I discovered it last year, so I went straight here after dinner."
"How much can your house sell for in a day..."
"Now at the beginning, a boat can be sold for about one or two hundred."
"so much?"
"It's not much. The cost of fuel is very high in a day. This is not a small wooden boat. I have so many workers on the boat, and it costs more than ten yuan a day."
"That's true, you're not local yet, and it's expensive to come here to fish..."
"Yes, if you can't make more money, who would take the risk and come here..."
Ye Yaodong started chatting with him as they parted ways.
Their four boats have been here since noon and have not moved anywhere. Of course, the location here is remote and there are no trawlers approaching here. Except for the fact that the sun is too strong, it looks very comfortable and relaxing.
When it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Father Ye saw that it was almost time, so he planned to ask them to stop for a while and sell at the shore.
"Dad, it's a bit late at this time. It's too late to come out in the afternoon. Let's not drag a net to the island and divide it and sell it. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up with the next trip. I will move all the goods on my ship to your ship. You can
After sailing to the shore and selling it and then coming back, I will continue fishing here, which is more efficient."
"That's okay. Then let your eldest and second brothers leave a boat here."
"Um."
Anyway, we were just selling goods and there was no need to sail the boats back. However, in order to prevent accidents, the boatmen still followed the fishing boats back to the port as usual, leaving everyone behind.
Ye Yaodong spent the entire afternoon cutting and killing jellyfish, and even those who were skilled at it were numb. Occasionally, when he saw that the number was not large, he would ask them to replace it.
Even if Ye's father and Ye Yaopeng's two boats left as quickly as possible, two hours would have passed by the time they came back.
Fortunately, they each have two boats in partnership. One boat is used for fishing and the other boat is sailed back to sell, so there will not be much delay.
When Father Ye came back, he not only brought back a few wheat cakes, but he also brought good news. The Harvest was back at noon, and he was going to rest for half a day and set off at around 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ye Yaodong immediately climbed over after hearing this, and then sent the driver of his boat to fish first. He wanted to chat with his father for a while.
"Aguang called back this afternoon and heard about it?"
"Yes, when he called back at noon, his in-laws came back just in time. They were still eating at home, so they went to answer the phone. He told me just now when I was selling goods at the beach."
"That's fine. We'll set off at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, we should be able to arrive around tomorrow evening."
"Yes, they have been there long enough this time."
“It means you’ll stay longer if it’s in stock.”
Ye Yaodong changed his subject and asked again: "Also, who did you sell the goods to just now? Were there anyone else there when you were selling the goods?"
"Yes, there are a few boats there. Some people heard that after the last wave we sold only cash knots, they regretted it and wanted to sell cash knots too."
"Wouldn't it be better to get married once in a few days? Once you get married, you can take it and save it, so as not to keep it unsafe around you."
He thought everyone wanted to get married every few days.
"None of them feel that there is anything unsafe around them. They are all on their own, and they are all floating on the sea. They don't interact with other people. They all want to settle the knot quickly and feel more at ease after getting the money."
"At worst, they only go to the bank to make a deposit every two days. Anyway, they have to make several trips to the shore every day. And they all said they are not familiar with Chen Jia Nian. Who knows how many days they will make a settlement? The one-time settlement is too big, which is very eye-catching, and it makes me worry."
"Anyway, you have to use it to save. It's better to settle it in batches. It won't appear to be so much, and it will be safer to put it into your pocket early. Since A Guang is also an intermediary, of course everyone will trust A Guang more."
"That makes sense, then who are we selling the goods to?"
"Ah Guang! Because the tractor that Chen Jianian just called is full again, we asked Ah Guang to call the truck to collect the goods of both our ships."
Now it's equivalent to buying and selling separately. You can sell to whomever you want. Anyway, it depends on everyone's personal subjective choice.
Ye Yaodong didn't care. Anyway, the matter of receiving the goods was left to A Guang to coordinate. He was also an adult and the money went into his pocket. A Guang could just handle it himself.
He didn't earn the money from the intermediary, which didn't suit him. Anyway, he just had to be himself and deliver the goods to Chen Jia Nian in a sure way. If Chen Jia Nian couldn't accept it, he would give it to A Guang. There was nothing wrong with that.
Moreover, this year alone, next year all the work in the village will be A Guang's. Chen Jia Nian will have to bring out his own boat next year, so he has to maintain harmony this year no matter what.
Otherwise, if there is a conflict, if he brings a bunch of ships out next year and the two parties fight, it will be a joke. Instead of fighting with outsiders, they will fight among themselves.
Father Ye looked at the boatmen around him who were busy fishing for jellyfish, as well as the three fishing boats not far away, and pulled him to the door of the cabin, and whispered: "I'll get you some money. If you want
Hidden, the two shipments just sold more in the afternoon than in the morning."
He walked into the cabin, took out a cloth bag from his luggage bag and handed it to Ye Yaodong.
"Both boats, after drawing 5 points, there are still 182 yuan and 2 cents. Your elder brother's side is only three or four yuan less than you. There is no big difference, but you both have more than you did in the morning."
"The money that others sell is not comparable to ours. They only sell a boat for more than 40 in the afternoon, which is not even as high as in the morning."
Ye Yaodong took the cloth bag and stuffed it directly into his crotch, which was simple and crude.
Only the elastic opening was left, and a few centimeters were exposed above the trousers, but the length of the clothes directly covered it, so it was impossible to tell that there was a cloth bag hidden in the crotch.
"This is normal. There are jellyfish swarms in the morning, and the sea is full of them in the afternoon. Of course, they can't compare. The number is definitely not that large at the beginning of the flood season, but it's pretty good."
"Catch a little longer, wait for the sun to set, drag a net to the island to divide it, and sell it again before dark. It will be more than 100 a day. After deducting the cost, it will be better than at home. Wait a few days to arrive.
After the flood season, we will earn more."
Father Ye also nodded, "That's right. Today is just the first day, so it's already pretty good."
"Don't anyone else have any doubts about why our two ships can sell so much?"
"No, they finished selling and took the order. After taking the money, they hurried back to the sea without even looking at how much the people behind them sold. Anyway, they will always talk about it when they go back at night, so let's not talk about it."
"Well, I'll go there then."
