Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1341 The End
Ye Yaodong stayed at Director Chen's house for two days in the city. When they went to work, he went out, and when they came back, he came back too. It was like keeping him company. By the way, he also told them about his progress in going in and out and being busy for the past two days.

And these two days were not wasted. He made advance notice of the people he had connections with, and then he made a phone call and arranged a time to visit the factory, and everything went smoothly.

He agreed to send the goods to the four or five processing plants that came over. If they needed any goods, he could deliver them to them.

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 deal with it when the time comes. People don’t rely on his goods anyway.

The family’s fresh food collection boat now has a supply. We don’t have to give all the food to Acai. Acai has a hard time eating, so it’s just right to share some of the food with him.

It was just right for his father to go out to sea next, and he would run a fresh-water boat at home to arrange the goods. Goods could be delivered to those factories every now and then, so he could maintain the economy.

He stayed at Director Chen's house for two days and received a reply from the machinery factory that two low-power dehumidification dryers were currently available for sale.

Although high power can speed up the drying process, it also means higher energy consumption. For rural areas where the voltage is still unstable, low power is of course the first choice.

Even so, it still takes the trouble to run a separate cable.

If it was Hong Wenle's fish canning factory, then high-power large machines would definitely be the first choice. After all, he is a small workshop, so he can take his time.

For this matter, Ye Yaodong spent most of the next month running back and forth between the provincial capital, the city, and his home without stopping for a moment.

Moreover, after his father sailed out to sea in the Ocean No. 1, he also found time to sail out to sea to collect the goods. He was so busy that he was dizzy and had no time to rest.

Although he was at home, Lin Xiuqing only saw him very few times.

Every time he came back, it was in the middle of the night, and he was always in a hurry. Even if he could sleep at home, he could only sleep for a few hours. He would disappear before dawn and could hardly say a word.

Lin Xiuqing was also not idle. He was instructed to expand the factory warehouse in the next few days to accommodate the machines that would be shipped back in a while, and to build a few more warehouses at the same time.

The couple were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.

Only after he had pulled a separate cable and transported the dryer back did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that his 20 days of work had not been in vain.

He ran up and down, and he didn't know how much effort he had put in and how many people he had met before he got everything done.

People like him have no experience and have to rely on trial and error to do everything.

When the two low-power dehumidification and drying machines were transported to the workshop, most of the people in the village came to watch, and they were overwhelmed with all kinds of praise.

The 10 kilograms of deep-sea red squid he brought back before had already been dried, collected, and transported to the city to be sold.

If you really keep it and wait for the machine to come back, the flowers will be gone by then.

When it was just put out to dry, people in the village and nearby villages had already eaten a lot of it, and everyone, both adults and children, loved it.

Now that we have a dryer, it really saves a lot of trouble.

Seeing that his father would probably be back soon, he could get back to work right away.

When he thought of this, Ye Yaodong felt his back ache again. After his father's goods came back, he had to go to the city to deal with the distribution of the goods.

After Lin Xiuqing saw that all the machines had been put on the ground and adjusted, she said to him, "Now, if the weather is bad, we can move the half-dried ones in to dry them instead of leaving them to dry slowly and then become smelly."

"Well, I've been running back and forth for almost a month, and I'm finally done with this."

Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.

"It's already April, and it will be Qingming Festival in a few days. Dad will definitely be back, and I can get back to work right away then."

"Bring some dried fish in in the evening and try drying it."

"it is good."

The couple gathered together to talk, and only after the accompanying technicians had checked and confirmed that there were no problems did they enthusiastically see the people off.

"How much do these two machines cost?"

"Adong is really getting bigger and bigger... He even bought something this big..."

"Does your family still need to recruit workers?"

"See if I can do it..."

Lin Xiuqing said, "We still have to plan and arrange this matter. We'll talk about it later. We will definitely give priority to our villagers. Now everyone please make way. We two have things to do."

After the two came out of the crowd, they went back home first.

Ye Yaodong took off his coat immediately and took a big sip of tea.

"It's over now."

Lin Xiuqing sat down and said, "My father said that the squid strips that were delivered earlier have all been sold out, so if we have any left, we should send them over soon."

"Well, my father will be back soon. If the weather is good, we can dry them while drying them, and do it faster."

"You are really creative. You can think of doing anything you see."

“Isn’t this all about making money so you can live a good life?”

"We spent 3 yuan on the machine, the workshop renovation, the cables, and the manpower and material resources during this period. Fortunately, the dried squid strips made us pay back immediately and even made a profit. I didn't expect it to be so popular."

"Let me tell you, what is the easiest business to do these days? One is food, the other is clothing. What is the easiest way to make money? The answer is women and children. Most people can't resist delicious food."

"Isn't it that you men's money is the easiest to make and your pockets are the easiest to empty?"

"That depends on what the money is."

Of course it’s easy to pay for foot washing and back massage.

Ye Yaodong sat next to her and changed the subject, "So despite all the troubles we've been having recently, we haven't actually spent much of our family's money."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Why do I feel that it's a pity for you to say that? Hong Wenle has spent 5 yuan now. I've also visited it and it's almost built, just waiting for the machines to be put in. When it really opens for business, it may have to invest tens of thousands more yuan."

"Not much. The bills that Ah Cai paid last month were enough to cover my expenses. I haven't touched my original capital yet."

Acai settles the bill every half a month, and he settled it once in the middle and at the end of last month.

The several boats that our family rented out were also settled at the end of the month.

The income from the entire month last year was just enough to invest in the fish canning factory.

After the end of this month and the settlement of accounts, there will be enough money to invest in the fish canning factory.

So in the final analysis, he didn't spend any money, and he invested all his earnings.

It’s because he has a good foundation.

In the past few years, whenever he made money, he would buy a boat. Slowly accumulating money, over time, these production tools would provide him with a steady stream of income, offsetting his current investment expenses.

"You're really sorry?"

Seeing that he was dusty and exhausted, Lin Xiuqing stood up, walked behind him and massaged his shoulders.

"After all, if you keep money at home, you're really worried about it getting damp or being eaten by rats. Now we can invest directly and turn it into fixed assets, so we don't have to worry about that. Moreover, these fixed assets can bring us a steady stream of income, which is better than holding the money in our hands."

"Well, you're right."

"Ahaha, that's rare, now you know I'm right."

"I never said you did anything wrong, but you never informed me, and you always acted without my knowledge."

"That needs to happen. Sometimes it's hard to explain when you're out of town, and it's inconvenient to discuss. If you talk half and listen half, there might be even bigger misunderstandings. Anyway, I know what's going on."

Lin Xiuqing didn't say much, since what he said made sense anyway.

"Go take a shower and rest for a while. You've been running around for so many days, and you haven't even sat down to catch your breath or take a good rest."

"Well, I'm going to take a shower and get some sleep, and then I'll go to town tomorrow to check on the progress of the fish cannery."

After all, that was a real factory, but it couldn't be built as fast as the conversion of his small workshop.

Fortunately, it is in town, close to home, and he can go there every few days. It is right under his nose, which is much more convenient than the city.

This is naturally the area in which he invested the most.

"I'll go get you some water. Go back inside and take off your clothes."

"it is good."

The old lady took over Lin Xiuqing's work and said, "I'll fetch some water. You go back to the house with him and get him some clothes to wear. You can also take a rest while you're there."

Ever since the couple entered the room, she hadn't been able to get a word in and could only sit and listen to them talk about business. Now she finally had something to do.

"Do you want me to cook something for you? Eat something before going to sleep? If you go to sleep at this time, you won't be able to make it in time for dinner. Why don't you eat something?"

"I'll ask him if he's hungry."

"Okay, it's not hard to cook some snacks. He can eat them right after he takes a bath."

Ye Yaodong was indeed hungry. It was tiring running back and forth, so how could he not be hungry?

Lin Xiuqing immediately went to light a fire and cook for him, but was driven back into the house by the old lady again.

"You go and keep him company, I'll come. You two are busy all day and don't have time to talk to each other."

Since her job was taken away, she had no choice but to go into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she pinched her nose and said, "Your feet are too smelly, aren't they?"

Ye Yaodong lifted his foot and put it to his nose to smell it. "It seems to be quite smelly. Remember to help me wash my shoes."

"I'll take it out first."

After finishing a big task, he relaxed a little and started thinking about the next task while taking a shower.

There are a lot of things to do next, including the progress of the fish canning factory and the start of the squid shreds workshop. The fresh fish collection ship has to go out to collect goods every two days. These things are all indispensable.

The kelp will be harvested soon, and ordinary people estimate that they will come to harvest the kelp at the end of the month at the latest.

I don’t know if he will be able to leave by then. If he can, he is thinking of going to Zhou City with the common people to arrange the land there.

Lack of separation.

Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

When will the government repair the road? This way he can buy a car. It will be inconvenient to go anywhere then.

The road conditions are good and he has a car, so no matter where he goes, he can make the round trip and get his business done on the same day.

"The one who rides on the horse..."

Lin Xiuqing had just taken out the smelly shoes, socks and dirty clothes when she pushed the door open and heard him swearing.

"What are you doing?"

"No, I think I won't have much free time next time. I'll be busy as usual. I might as well just stay at sea and relax."

"Yes, if you are at sea, you only need to fish and not worry about the trivial matters at home. If you are at home, there are many things to do, big and small, relatives, workshop matters, workers' matters. And now you have to take care of the factory matters and the fishing boats' harvest."

"Well, I thought that if we have some free time these few days, we should apply for a telephone line and install a telephone at home."

Lin Xiuqing was surprised. "We want to install a telephone in our own home? That's not cheap. It costs several thousand yuan."

"It would be convenient to install a telephone in my home. I am also thinking of applying for a special line in the city so that we don't have to run to the village committee to answer the phone when we have something to do. The village committee's phone is now the most used by us."

"That's true..."

"If I go to Zhou City in the second half of the year, my family will use the phone more frequently, so it will be more convenient for you to have a phone line."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "Okay, then you can take some time to go to the village committee tomorrow and ask and apply?"

"Well, the matter at hand just happened to be finished, so let's take care of the phone call first. Also, last month I was told that the evaluation of advanced youth would be announced soon, but there is no sign of it. I will also ask about it tomorrow."

"Then I'll be busy again."

"It's okay to be busy with a purpose, but I'm afraid of being busy without purpose. What day is it today? What day is it?"

"The 2nd is Qingming Sunday, so we don't have school."

"Oh, then it looks like we won't be able to get the telephone line until next week."

"Not in a hurry."

Ye Yaodong nodded and said nothing.

Considering that it’s already April 4nd, the old lady must have passed the time point when she fell in her previous life, right?

The time span was too long, and he only vaguely remembered that he fell before Qingming Festival. After all, there was a festival, so he could still have an impression of it, but it was really hard to remember the specific day.

Anyway, he didn’t live through May Day. He fell and died not long after.

Fortunately, his busy schedule has come to an end now, so he should be able to stay at home longer and have some time to take a look.

"Aren't you going to cook for me?"

"The old lady rushed to do it, and sent me in to talk to you, saying that we two were so busy that we probably hadn't talked properly for a long time."

"That's quite considerate."

"I'm an experienced person, haha." Lin Xiuqing said with a smile.

The old lady in the family is indeed sensible and perceptive. She doesn't cause any trouble, is trouble-free and helpful, so it's not difficult to take care of her.

"Have her do less work. There's a lot of rain in the spring, so be careful when you go in and out. If anything happens, it will be very troublesome."

"I know. You've said it many times."

"She's old, and she can't sit still. She's in and out every day busy with her dishes."

"You have to tell her that. I told her that she always obeyed me, but she turned around and hoeed the field, watered the field, and ignored me."

"Well, just watch it. We'll sleep together after dinner, and it'll be a good time to wash up."

She smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "You think about that every day."

I'll make up another chapter around 2 o'clock.
