Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Ye Yaodong only thought it was funny, and Father Ye was also speechless.

Lin Xiuqing comforted them with a smile, "It's okay, a few hundred catties is only a few tens of catties, which is not too much. Our family has a lot more than you. You can keep it for your own home, or for your relatives and friends. , give a little, that's fine."

   "There are so many, how can I be willing to give them away? The fresh ones are worth more than ten yuan."

   "Your mother's family is in the mountains, so it's rare to send some over there. Our mother's family is in the village. Who cares about this dried fish? Who doesn't have any stock? Where can I send it?"

   "Oh, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't listen to other people's rumors. Although it's cheap, it's good to sell it for more than a dozen yuan. Now it's in my hands, and I can only eat it at home..."

   "Hey, where can I eat these dozens of catties? I feel so distressed if I have to eat it. Usually, if no one wants to dry out a few catties, I can just eat it. I can sell it for a little money anyway..."

   "Fortunately, we brothers share one point, it doesn't count that much..."

  The whole family listened to the distressed chattering of the women at the door, and they didn't talk to each other. Their own house hadn't been sold out yet. How could they take their house this time?

  And if the weather is good tomorrow and they can go to sea, they can continue to dry it again, and they don’t have to spend money to collect their own products, which is more cost-effective.

  Ye Yaodong is not worried about not being able to sell his dried fish anyway, at most it will take some time.

   What he lacks most is time. He has a lot of free time in autumn and winter. Even if he doesn’t sell to the army, he can sell these stocks in his spare time. He can clear these stocks at home.

  Others don’t have this kind of brain. If he doesn’t use this brain, of course he won’t talk too much. Maybe no one will believe what he says.

  When he first started to move the dried fish in the yard to the house, Lin Xiuqing also went back to the house to continue cooking. Today, A Dong and Father Ye came back early, so she had to add two more hard vegetables.

  The group of neighbors and sisters-in-law at the door also went back while talking, and the dried fish that had been saved and killed should not be wasted, and should be dried.

  The wind and waves didn’t look that big early this morning, and Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye also went out to sea, and when they came back, they brought a bowl of shrimps and a few fresh white pomfrets to their house, which Ah Qing happened to bring as additional vegetables.

  Ye Yaodong also sat down with the two brothers and chatted.

  The reason for the two brothers is because yesterday my mother told them to let them dry more dried fish, which are worthless, and all of them should be kept for drying.

So today they didn’t sell much. They kept more than 500 catties of clam fish and more than 200 catties of miscellaneous fish. Such a large quantity was not usually a hundred catties to eat by themselves. They didn’t know what to do. A Dong happened to be back, so he hurried over to ask, and inquired about the situation by the way, is it okay to sell?

  They are also afraid of keeping such a large amount in their hands. Although it is not worth the money, they can sell a lot if the amount is large. These are all hard earned.

   "Dongzi, has your dried fish been selling well these two days? That's why mother asked us to save more for drying."

"To be honest, I've been selling dried fish at a stall these few days, but it's a lot of trouble, and it's easy to meet local gangsters. If you don't have time, or don't want to take risks, you can sell dried fish in the sun. Give it to me, it will definitely make more money than selling it fresh. It also saves you from running around, and you can make money immediately after drying it.”

   "Although there are still hundreds of catties in my family that have not been sold, I can hoard them and sell them slowly, and they won't spoil if left unattended. I also confiscated other people's. If you have money, your brothers will make it first."

  His two older brothers are moderate and conservative, not very adventurous, and honest, so they have to be pushed behind by others.

  Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked at each other in dismay.

When Ye Yaopeng was still hesitating, Ye Yaohua said: "I think it's okay, just dry it and sell it to Dongzi directly. We don't have any experience in selling things, and we don't understand these things. If you sell them to him, you will get money right away. You don’t need to exist there, you don’t need to toss, it’s good.”

  Ye Yaopeng looked at Ye Yaodong, and asked tentatively: "Then... how much does Dongzi plan to charge?"

   "30 cents for dried toad fish, 20 cents for dried miscellaneous fish." This is also the price he decided after careful consideration. His own brother, he can't make too much money.

  Ten catties can yield a little more than two catties. Calculated by two catties, fresh ones cost three cents and fifty cents a catty, which equals ten catties.

The cost of drying out a catty is about 20 cents, but the actual cost is less than 20 cents, it should be around 10.8 cents. If he spends 30 cents to collect it, his elder brother and second brother can earn a lot, which is more cost-effective than selling it fresh too much.

   And after deducting the fare, he can earn about 10-10 cents per catty? It is equivalent to dividing the profit in half, and one person earns half.

  The miscellaneous fish can earn a little more. This is a commodity that no one wanted. His elder brother and second brother also picked it up for nothing. He didn't lose anyone by calculating the money like this.

   Seeing that his elder brother and second brother were a little confused about whether the price was high or low, he simply told them what he had just calculated.

  The two of them suddenly realized.

  Ye Yaopeng said happily: "If you get two catties out of ten catties, it is equivalent to about 20 cents per catty for processing, and we can earn another 10 cents!"

   "If you weigh 100 catties, you will earn ten yuan more!"

   "Then we saved more than 800 catties of goods today. If we can sell about 200 catties, we can sell them for fifty or sixty yuan."

"That's not right, you earn ten yuan more for 100 catties, and you earn 20 yuan more for 200 catties, but our goods have just been counted at the dock, and the fresh ones can only be sold for less than 20 yuan, and the dried ones sell for five yuan." Sixty, so the calculation will be more than 30 yuan, not 20 yuan?" Ye Yaohua was a little confused.

  Ye Yaodong was also confused by them. Originally, he was not good at counting, but because he participated in the whole process, he immediately understood where the extra money came from?

   "You guys forgot the trash fish. The trash fish wharf doesn't accept it. It's worthless, but if it's posted, I'll charge 20 cents a catty. The extra money is for the trash fish."

  The two suddenly realized.

   "Ah, yes, yes, miscellaneous fish are not considered money when we weighed them earlier, so we can only bring them back and dry them to eat."

   "So miscellaneous fish is equivalent to no cost."

  Ye Yaohua hesitated, "Are you going to lose money like this? We have earned all the money. Does anyone want those miscellaneous fish after drying? No one in our country wants them, so we can only use them to dry and eat."

"You can try to sell it for a while. Some people try to get it cheap. Miscellaneous fish are not necessarily bad. Like dried dragon head fish and dried eel, isn't it very fragrant and good for wine when fried with celery? It's just that the quantity is small, and various kinds of dried fish are mixed together, so it's called Miscellaneous fish."

"Then you should do less calculations. Don't sell things that no one wants. Don't sell them at a loss. You can do whatever you want. Just pay some wages. This is all hard-earned money for you. You still have to toss about it yourself, and you still have to store it there. ..." Ye Yaohua said honestly.

   "A loss is not a loss..."

  Ye Yaopeng also said: "The miscellaneous fish can be counted as 15 cents. No one wants them in the first place. You have to earn some travel expenses and hard money."

  Ye Yaodong was very pleased that the two elder brothers were so sensible.

   "Okay, then I'll earn more with the cheek."

   "Everyone earns."

  After the three brothers reached an agreement, everyone was happy.

Ye Yaodong is purely looking for a job for himself in his spare time. He seldom goes to sea in winter. He sells goods and earns about 20 yuan a day. He goes there two or three times a month and earns more than ordinary people. Less can add up.

  The premise is not to be killed as a pig. I was too tired that day, and I had to get up at two in the morning to deliver the goods to the army. If I didn’t take a tractor, I would have to walk back home at 9:10.

  The day before, I set off for the city at ten o'clock in the evening, and I had to burn myself to death walking back.

  That’s not okay, he can’t let his wife remarry with his own money, and let the three children have someone else’s surname.

However, after having a few times of experience in selling goods, he will only sell 200 catties a day, and he can go alone. After selling, he will go home. If he doesn’t have a tractor, he will catch the 9:00 am bus. If he can’t catch the bus, he won’t go back. Go back the next day, or call his dad to deliver the goods the next day.

  Anyway, they can no longer be slaughtered!

  In case the army needs a batch of quantities every three days, it will be even easier for him to earn.

  After Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua had a guarantee, they went home happily. They didn't have to take any risks. As long as they bother a little, they can double their income.

Lin Xiuqing was cooking on the sidelines, heard the whole thing from beginning to end, and waited for the people to leave before saying: "We haven't sold the ones in our family, so we promise to take over all the elder brother's and second brother's. Are you too anxious? I will go to sea tomorrow , and can get a lot of sun."

   "It's okay, I only have more than 300 catties left at home. When the wind blows, I can't go to sea. I can sell it for two days and it will be gone."

   "Oh, look, they posted it for several days."

   "Well, just to add."

   "How much did you sell today?"

   "Oh yes, I was so busy talking, I forgot to take off my clothes and take out the cloth bag to count the money."

   As he spoke, he began to take off his padded jacket and sweater, and then dumped all the money in the backpack onto the table.

   There is great unity, there are also fragmented notes, and there are piles of coins, which are poured out with a clang, which is quite nice.

  The two sons immediately climbed onto the table when they heard the movement, and they all screamed at the money on the table.

   "A lot of money, dad made a lot of money again!"

   "Father is amazing, making a lot of money!"

   "Don't go out and yell! Or I'll sew your mouths shut."

  Ye Chenghu was laughing and joking, not afraid at all.

  Ye Chengyang immediately covered his mouth with both hands, and his eyes widened.

  Ye Yaodong first picked up the Great Unity one by one and put them in the palm of his hand. There were 12 cards, which were given by the army.

  He also said in his mouth, "I sold 300 catties for 126 yuan in the army, and then went to the market to sell a bag. The change is all sold in the market... The large denominations look comfortable..."

   "Who doesn't like big money!"

  Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, and then asked him, "We collect money for drying dried fish, do we have to give Dad a layer?"

   "That's right! He has been busy with me all the time, and my mother also helped kill and dry, so I don't have to count her wages, but I have to give him the hard-earned money, which was originally kept on our ship, and he also has a share."

   "Well, then I will write down today's account later, and pay him together at the end of the month."

The old lady glanced at Lin Xiuqing, fearing that she would be unhappy, and said with a smile: "Your father and mother can't spend a lot of money, and the money you give him now will be given to them when they are old. You share."

  Lin Xiuqing smiled, "It's still early, I don't worry about it, A Dong can make money."

  Ye Chengyang agreed very cooperatively, "Daddy can make a lot of money!"

  Ye Yaodong patted his head happily, "Good son, you have vision!"

   "Sycophant!" Ye Chenghu snorted.

   "Ye Chenghu, have you been very arrogant lately?"
