Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1240 Departure
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the fact that his father was at home, so he asked his father to stay at home and help look after the child.

He contacted several overseas Chinese relatives a few days ago and has confirmed a date for early delivery, so he has to go and make a delivery.

He ordered the goods from several companies to be delivered on the same day, so as to save himself from making several trips back and forth.

I also brought some freshly dried squid and pickled squid eggs to Lao Hai.

Lao Hai knew that he came here to deliver goods, so he generously lent him his tractor.

Ye Yaodong was also happy to save trouble and did not refuse.

The delivery process went smoothly, but when it came to settlement, he couldn't get the foreign exchange he had been longing for.

Because they are not a trading company and do not have the right to import and export, they can only settle a small amount of foreign exchange as a friendly gesture from individuals.

The conditions that need to be met for foreign exchange settlement are quite stringent, and he was overwhelmed when he heard what the conditions needed to be met.

The first batch of orders didn't cost much money, so he thought about it and decided to just forget about it and wait until things were stable and long-term before making a decision.

I was thinking about foreign exchange, but my hopes are dashed for now, but it is not impossible to stabilize it in the future and then work harder.

After finishing this matter, he made a special trip to the shipyard to confirm that the fresh-water ship could be completed on June 6, and he felt relieved.

The sooner he gets it, the easier it will be for him to drive to Zhejiang Province.

However, the weather was not very good in the next few days. It was often sunny during the day, but there would be thunder and lightning in the evening.

He asked his mother to choose a date. The weather was not very good that day. It drizzled all day long. But the day was good. He went to drive when the time came, but he did not stop in the village.

The boat was relatively large and had a deep draft, so he docked it directly at the town's deep-water port. In any case, the fresh-collecting ships would have to dock at the deep-water port in the future, and he would have to let the family's small boat come over to pick up the goods.

After this matter was settled, he felt at ease, but the weather was sometimes good and sometimes bad, so his father and others stayed at home all the time, and he went to the reef to pry abalone during the day.

There were a lot of them, about 10 people, and they had 4 sets of equipment. They were very efficient in prying out the abalones and catching the small blue dragon sea cucumbers, and the workers were all obsessed with it.

It was the first time for each of them to go underwater to get these high-quality goods, so they were all very excited and liked to compete with each other to see who could get the most in one trip.

After most of the abalone below was pried out, Ye Yaodong thought that it was already mid-month and planned to go to Zhejiang Province early. Everyone was still a little reluctant to leave.

Although abalone is difficult to catch, we can still go into the water to look for small blue dragons and sea cucumbers and catch some. After getting familiar with the underwater environment, they also like it a little, just like they have their own backyard.

It was only after Ye Yaodong told them that if they went to Zhejiang Province, they could catch sea urchins, which would be a different experience and the salary would be higher that everyone became excited to go.

During this period of time, Ye Yaodong asked Ah Qing to do some accounting for the high-quality goods and bottom traps he salvaged, and he made about 3000 yuan. This was the net profit after deducting the fuel and labor costs, which was not much worse than what the Dongsheng made in a month.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was more profitable to be a capitalist. Ever since he hired more people, he never went into the water again. He just moved a stool to sit on the boat, spent some money, and there were many people willing to work for him.

After Ye Yaodong was sure that work at home was about to end, he asked Lin Xiuqing to pay the workers their temporary wages.

Then I told her about my plan to go to Zhejiang Province.

Lin Xiuqing paused while counting the wages, "So soon? How about waiting until the end of the month? Rest at home for a few days first?"

"No, it's already July by the end of the month, it's too late. If we go earlier, we can catch more sea urchins. I'm not tired anyway. In the past, I have been out to sea at most, sitting on the boat, doing nothing, and I don't need to rest."

"So what are your plans? How many boats? Where's Dad?"

"I will take these workers with me and drive the seafood boat and the trawling boat at home."

He was thinking that since he was not at home, and the seafood boat was just sitting there, it might as well leave it there early, so that he wouldn't have to ask his father to tow the seafood boat there later.

It is quite risky to sail across provinces on a small boat against the wind and waves for more than ten hours. It is much safer to sail a seafood collection boat, which can be considered as an additional protection for yourself.

And it is safer to drive a fresh fish collection boat with about 10 people.

"Dad, stay home first?"

"Yes, it's useless for him to go early anyway, so he can just stay at home and hang out in the Internet cafe first. When the flood season is about to arrive, I will call him in advance to inform him, and then he can come over."

"That's fine too. The Dongsheng will trawl for Dad at home. When the time comes, you can notify him and he will set off with Big Brother and the others."

"Well, it's settled. Tomorrow we'll go to the farmers' houses and buy some more rice to husk and bring back. The number of people bringing back rice this year will be no less than last year."

"Got it. Tomorrow I'll collect all the fruits and vegetables from the fields that can be stored and bring them to you."

"You decide. I'll notify the others to prepare tomorrow."

He told the villagers a few days ago that those who planned to go there to earn money this year should write their application reports in advance, and he would take them there in advance to help them apply.

After all, he is the vice president, so of course he has to manage these people. If any temporary problems arise, the official will come to him for discussion.

Let his mother go to the workshop and say a few words tomorrow. The whole village should know about it in no time.

After hearing about this, some people began to worry about what would happen to everyone after he was gone.
I know how to go, but without a backbone in my heart, nothing will work.

So the next day, villagers kept coming and going at his doorstep and workshop asking questions.

Ye Yaodong also repeatedly assured that he had only gone there in advance to settle down and help everyone apply for fishing licenses. The place was still the same place and the pier was still the same pier.

And his father would stay and wait for his notification, and then go with everyone. Only then did the villagers' restless emotions calm down.

Ye Yaodong could also understand. After all, something happened last year, so it was normal for everyone to rely on him more. When they got familiar with each other every year, it probably wouldn't matter whether he was there or not.

He also told his fellow villagers that he would leave on the 17th, and asked them to send the application form to him before that time, as he would not wait for anyone after that time.

He also calculated this time well. A few days ago, Ye's father took advantage of the good weather on the Dragon Boat Festival and went out to sea with several boats at night. He has not returned yet.

He calculated that he would be back in about two or three days, and the time he told his fellow villagers was reserved.

He had to wait for his father to come back and tell him before he could leave, and it would take time to prepare things.

In the past two days, he has been busy with his departure and has not been on the ground. His friends have also gone out to sea, and they can only talk to each other in the evening.

Finally, at noon on the 18th, his father came back and after talking to him, he was able to set off with peace of mind.

June 6th was May 17th in the lunar calendar, which was originally an auspicious day for traveling. He had selected it in advance, but his father came back a day late, so he had to set off a day later.

Although the 19th is not an auspicious day for traveling, it is not a bad day at all, as long as not everything goes wrong.

The 20th was actually also an auspicious day for traveling, but he didn't want to wait any longer, as he had already been delayed for two days waiting for his father to come back.

Because of being two days late, Ye's father was scolded by the old lady and Ye's mother, and they took turns scolding him for two days.

When he left in the early morning, he could still hear his father complaining about being trapped by two women.

"To make big money, you need to find a good day. It's all your fault..."

The old lady asked Ye's mother worriedly, "Is the date you chose right? Is today okay?"

"It's not as good as the 11th, but today is okay. It would be better if it was a day later. We are going to travel far away, so what's the harm in waiting one more day, waiting for a good day? We have been waiting for several days anyway."

"It's good that it's not bad. We were wasting time waiting for him..."

Father Ye was too lazy to pay attention to them. What did it have to do with him?
Is he good at fortune-telling, or what?
I didn't tell him in advance, how would he know I would come back early?
We only know that Dongzi is going to go early, but how do we know which day he is going to go?

However, he also knew that he couldn't say it. The more he talked, the more excited they became. One of them was his darling, and the other was extremely proud of his current abilities as a sorcerer. He talked nonsense all day long, calculating the days and times, and believed in the good and bad luck he calculated.

He wanted to ask her if she could calculate when he would be mad to death?

Ye Yaodong drove a small trawler to the town's deep-water port to find his own seafood boat, and then asked everyone to move all the supplies on the boat to the seafood boat.

After all, the small trawler only has an empty deck, and that tiny two square meters of space can't even hold a few bags of rice and oil.

Now they are all piled on the deck, along with many tools, bamboo baskets, large and small barrels, etc. There are more than a dozen workers on the boat, and there is very little space for everyone to stand.

We still have to drive for more than ten hours along the way. Everyone has to stand on the edge and get wet by the waves. It doesn't matter, but it will affect the supplies.

Although he also used a layer of nylon cloth to pad the bottom, it was not of much use. He brought too many things, and it would be better to move to the storage space of the fresh food collection ship to avoid wind, sun, rain and waves.

"Fuck! Is this also the boss's ship?"

"Boss, you are hiding this too well, aren't you? There is actually such a big ship!"

"Damn, I was wondering how to get to the town, and when I asked Dong he just said we'd know when we got there, and it turns out there's such a big surprise!"

"It's so cool, so majestic, such a big ship!"

"That's amazing. I heard a few days ago that you have a boat over 30 meters long. I thought it was just a rumor and someone who didn't know was bragging about it. It turns out it's real."

"I heard that too, but I heard last year that you had a boat over 30 meters long, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't even see its shadow, and I thought it was all nonsense."

"I thought we were really going to sail this small boat, but it turns out there's a big boat waiting here, hahahaha..."

……

Ye Yaodong listened to them talking one after another, and was extremely shocked. They kept talking like machine guns, so he hurried to stop them.

"Stop talking, quickly move the supplies on the ship and move them here. We have to leave as soon as possible, it will be dawn soon."

"Coming, coming, right away..."

Everyone quickly crawled over, half of them went forward while the other half stayed where they were so that they could pass the stuff to the other side.

With so many people around, it only took about ten minutes to move all the goods that filled the entire deck. Moreover, it was completely invisible on the fresh food shipping ship as all the goods were loaded into the fish warehouse and cargo hold. The deck was clean and still so spacious.

Only after the cargo was moved did everyone realize that this ship seemed different from the other ships.

"Boss, your new boat is so empty, is it missing something?"

"A net-lifting machine, you fool, but why isn't there one? And what about the cranes?"

"This is a freshwater fishing boat. I customized it specifically for this purpose, so it's different from other fishing boats. You guys wait here for a moment while I go get some diesel."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he left them in a state of panic and left them to discuss on the boat.

Only after he had replenished his diesel did he set out from the town again.

"Brother Dong, you set up a fresh-food boat. Do you want to collect the goods yourself in the future?"

"What about your other ships?"

"Boss, now you have one more boat. Do you need to hire more people? I, I, I..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It depends on your performance in the next period of time. If you perform well, you will be given priority to stay here. Then you can get a monthly salary just like the people on the Dongsheng."

After saying this, he walked to the cockpit, leaving everyone excited.

"Haha, I said we would definitely get priority."

"That's amazing. They've already got such a big seafood ship. What will happen in the future?"

"We'll be able to build a large fleet in the future."

"In two years, there will definitely be a bigger ship. A-Dong's ships are getting bigger every year..."

I'm going to sleep first. I'll make up the rest tomorrow night. One chapter before 0:0 and one chapter after :.
