Chapter 776 26-Meter Boat

An old man is like a treasure. Recently, Lin Xiuqing has been busy very late at night, so she wakes up late in the morning. She doesn't get up until she hears voices around dinner time.

Although the old lady also worked late at night, she slept less as an old person. She still got up as soon as she polished off the sun every day to cook porridge, feed the chickens and ducks, and water the vegetable fields, all without changing a day.

It has indeed reduced Ah Qing’s burden and saved him a lot of things.

As soon as they finished eating, they would each use a sack to collect the dried squid and dried balang fish. After collecting, they would carry it to carts and transport them home by the carts.

When the sun was high in the sky and they were weighing themselves at the door, they saw several cadres from the village committee walking in front, followed by several villagers, heading towards their house and just passing by their door.

"Why are Secretary Chen going? Leading so many people to inspect?"

"No, there are villagers who want to build a house and want to build it in the surrounding area. They have already chosen the land. We will bring people over to measure it."

"oh."

"Everyone says that the feng shui here is good. Every home that lives here has a trawler, and they want to move here to see if they can improve the feng shui of their own homes. Good luck."

"Okay, it's pretty passable."

Mother Ye said in a loud voice: "Whose family is coming here to build a house? Don't tell me, our area has good feng shui. When the time comes, more families will move here to be neighbors, and the area around us will become lively." "

"It's on Sanping Mountain. It's not as lively as the village on the mountain, and there isn't that much open space, so I moved it down and built two rooms."

"Oh, no wonder it looks a bit unfamiliar."

"Let's get busy first..."

"Hey, good."

Mother Ye seemed to see people walking towards their door, stretching their necks to look around. The open space on their beach was quite big, and there was a large open space as you walked inside.

"With these few more households, our area will be livelier and it won't look so remote."

"It's okay. It's also in a village, but it's remote?" Ye Yaodong said, "Stop arguing, we are still weighing the goods. If you want to watch the excitement, just follow us."

"Then I'll go over and have a look..."

They were very busy, how could Ye Mu be so free, so it was just a good idea to send them away.

There were a lot of squid caught on the second and third days, more than on the first day, and more cuttlefish were harvested than on the first day. After weighing the two days' goods, they weighed a total of 1,056 kilograms.

There is also Balang fish, which is over 500 kilograms. Their Balang fish is cooked before being dried.

The dried Balang fish can be eaten directly, or stir-fried with garlic sprouts. It can also be used as an ingredient to cook salty porridge or rice noodle soup. It has a good texture and fresh taste.

Different fish have different flavors after being dried and cooked. He focuses on diversification. Anyway, the fish caught in each season are different, so you can eat it in various ways without getting tired of it.

He was going to send these 500 kilograms of Balang fish to a store in the city to restock the stock. The retail price was higher, and the store happened to be short of inventory, so he refused to buy it.

After delivering the cuttlefish weighing over 1,000 kilograms to a warehouse in the city, he took the payment, and Ye Yaodong went straight to the store.

I haven’t been here for a long time, more than a month, but it’s a lot more lively than before.

It was already mid-afternoon, and the market was closed. There were still many people nearby, many of whom were staying in nearby shops.

Needless to say, I haven't been here for more than a month, and there are actually more than a dozen shops nearby, selling everything, including breakfast, food, noodle shops, one is a grocery store, and two others sell the same things as him. Good stuff, business looks good too!

My father-in-law also mentioned it before, but I heard that the selling price will be a little more expensive than them.

Because it is said to be sold in the market, the market price is higher than what they catch themselves, not to mention that the shop is rented, so it must be sold at a higher price, otherwise what will they make?

So he didn't worry. They themselves had a natural advantage. They caught all the goods themselves, and the stores also bought them themselves. Small profits but quick turnover made them more profitable.

After Ye Yaodong arrived at the store, he unloaded the goods and was not in a hurry to load them. He walked around the market first and found that there were five or six shops around the second entrance, and three shops on both sides of the third entrance.

It seems that it is not far away from his eldest and second brother's shop to be rented out. If they can't find a suitable person to look after the shop, and they are relatively honest and not so smart, they will probably think of taking advantage of it.

Father Lin saw him coming back after walking around in a circle, and said, "I think it won't be long before your other store can be rented out."

"Don't worry, just watch first."

"Hey, you guys came so late. It was already dark when we got home. It was past one o'clock in the morning. I couldn't wait any longer. I called back. Ah Qing said you just left. I was afraid that these fish products would be released. The door was damaged by the sun, so we moved it to the warehouse inside."

"Well, let's leave after pretending. It gets dark very late now. It's already around 6:30. It doesn't get dark until it gets dark. It's probably just dark in the county."

"Go back early, I'll call you if anything happens."

"Well, when Uncle Zhou comes to deliver the goods in two days, he will paste a few more pieces of the red paper for rent. The previous ones have faded and are no longer conspicuous."

"OK."

Before leaving, Ye Yaodong wandered around the nearby shops a few more times and discussed with his brother-in-law that it would be good to open a food shop nearby.

There are people there from morning to night, and eating, drinking, and defecation are the first priority. People come and go, and there are always needs.

However, their family does not have the energy to do this. The whole family has work to do, and everyone performs their duties, and there is no one idle.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The brother-in-law really paid attention and looked at it a few more times.

Originally, the prosperity of the city had opened his horizons for a country bumpkin like him, who dared to think too much. But when he saw that the food business in the surrounding shops was quite good, Ye Yaodong also said there, he immediately became interested.

Adongdu is so good at making money and has opened a shop in the city, so what he said is definitely right.

But he was about to leave. Along the way, the tractor roared and swayed as he sat down. He could only suppress his thoughts and talk about it later.

Ye Yaodong didn't know that his brother-in-law's mind had become agitated when he brought him out like this. He leaned on the tractor and covered his mouth and nose, his mind flying to the sea, wondering if the fishing went well today?

These days a boat can catch six to seven hundred kilograms, and it will definitely be no different today, and maybe even more can be caught.

If you dry 500 kilograms a day, you can sell it for 1,200 yuan and earn 900 yuan. Three boats can earn a household of 10,000 yuan in a flood season!

It’s still cost-effective to dry it in the sun and make money!

Ye Yaodong thought about it, the corners of his mouth raised, and he felt happy in his heart.

But when he returned home, what awaited him was heavy bleeding.

I followed a large truck back without incident all the way. I had just jumped out of the truck to report that it was safe and ready to unload, when I heard Ah Qing's nagging talk.

"There is no place to pile up, so we have to let the tractor drive to the small workshop to unload the goods. If I had known better, I should have left for the city earlier. It was already dark when I got home, and there were already a lot of squid to kill at the door. Plus, there are so many squid here. With a car full of people, we may not be able to finish them all until dawn."

"Then take this cart to the workshop and unload it, and then ask four or five people to bring their own knives to kill them. Call the other aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law over. Kill them as soon as possible while they are fresh. It has been piled up all day during the day. The weather is hot and it will not be fresh after being piled for a long time."

"Well, Mom is going to help carry water. I'm going to call someone. You unload the goods first. I have something to talk to you about later."

Ye Yaodong was confused, "What's going on? Didn't the trawl go well today?"

"No, it's not about the sea. We've caught so many squids and brought them back. What else can happen at sea? It's about A Guang. He just came over, but you weren't here. He went back after a while and said he would wait. Will come again.”

He was even more puzzled.

"What can happen to A Guangneng?"

"There's no rush. You can talk anytime. You can unload the goods first. I'll quickly ask someone to come over and kill the fish. I'll talk to you later when I come into the house."

"Oh fine."

If he didn't say it in a hurry, then it wasn't an urgent matter, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Anyway, after getting out of the car for so long, I didn’t hear the women who were killing squid talking about related gossip. It shouldn’t be important, it’s not a big deal.

After Ye Yaodong unloaded the goods, he asked his uncle to go to bed first. There was no need to watch tonight. After all this work, it would probably be dawn. There were people around, so there was no need to guard anywhere.

He would have to carry the big pot over here later, and the Balang fish would have to be cooked and dried. If he had known better, he would have asked his father-in-law to buy other fish today. It would save trouble. He could just kill and marinate it for half an hour, wash it and then dry it.

I don’t know if there are so many Balang fish these days and my father-in-law only buys this kind.

He cursed, paid the fare to Uncle Zhou, thanked him profusely, and packed a basket of fresh Balang fish to take back to him. The courtesy was light but the affection was heavy.

"Dongzi!"

"Ah? Oh, you're here. When I just came back, Ah Qing told me that you were coming to find me."

Aguang got off his bicycle and said, "You just came back? Did you bring back so much fish? There are also so many squids. You won't be able to finish it until dawn."

"Ah Qing went to ask for help. Anyway, they should be piled up separately. We can handle both sides at the same time."

"Your little workshop is getting more and more prosperous, and the number of manpower is increasing."

"Hahaha, no, I just came back late today. I was so busy that everything was piled up, so I called a few more people. What can you do? As soon as I came back, Ah Qing told me, you Find me."

"Let's go and talk to you at home."

"Okay, let's go home and talk."

Aguang pushed his bicycle while walking and said: "A few days ago, in a village in this town, four fathers, sons, uncles and nephews died at sea. Have you heard about it?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned, "Ah, I heard about it, what's wrong? Have you found out who did it? Can't you?"

"No, do you still remember Uncle Zheng who sold you 30,000 kilograms of dried dragon head fish before?"

"Yeah, remember, what's wrong?"

"He said before that his friend ordered a 26-meter boat at the shipyard..."

I don’t know if it was due to Yang today. I had a headache all day long. I felt groggy all morning and afternoon, half asleep and half awake all the time.

It wasn't until after dinner that I went out to get some medicine. After taking it, I felt better and more energetic, so the update is late again. Please bear with me.

I'll make arrangements to add an update later depending on the situation. I'll try to see if I can add a chapter tomorrow.
