Chapter 184 Got the iron boat
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Yaodong woke up in good spirits, because he was thinking about the inspection of the ship today, so he didn't go to sea.
Woke up early, so he helped cook the rice and let his wife go to bed. After the porridge was cooked and left to sit, he planned to go out to the village center to see if anyone pushed pork to sell.
He remembered that as long as it didn’t rain every morning, there were usually people pushing carts to sell pork, vegetables, and occasionally fruits.
Maybe he got up too early, wandered around the village, only to see that the cart selling pork was late, probably sold all the way from the villages along the way.
At this time, pork is not cheap, and so are bones. Fat meat is the most expensive. Who makes resources scarce?
After being reborn, every meal is filled with seafood and vegetables. The number of times I eat meat can really be counted on ten fingers, it shouldn't be five fingers!
Ye Yaodong picked out a spare rib and a piece of pork belly. When he saw the fatty meat next to him, he thought that all he ate at home was rapeseed oil. The old man planted and squeezed it himself. Oily.
His hands were quicker than his mind, so he took another piece of fat meat. Anyway, it won’t go bad when it’s deep-fried, and it’s better to use meat oil for cooking. His wife can’t stop eating meat. She eats vegetables and seafood all day long. How long does it take? Fat?
As for whether you will be scolded if you buy it back, it is a small matter, not a big problem.
If you like to scold, give her a few words!
There are not many villagers around the stall to buy. Isn’t it a festival? Or if there is a big event, generally few people buy meat, and people on the seaside eat seafood, and most of them don't need money.
One pork rib, one pork belly, and one fatty meat. I bought 3 yuan and 5 together, which is cheap!
It was all tied with a rope and carried in the hand. On the way back, I saw my cousin Meiying who came to borrow money a few days ago, looking at the meat in his hand, frowning as if trying to kill a fly.
He passed by without a word, and he only said hello to him, without stopping. He has money and wants to buy some meat for his family for a change of taste, so why should he care about others?
He just doesn't want to borrow money! If you have money, you don't borrow bad gamblers.
When he got home, Lin Xiuqing saw that he was carrying meat and ribs in his hands. He opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but thinking about the inappropriateness in the morning, he held back. He only gave him a blank look, and turned around. .
Ye Yaodong hurriedly followed, raised the pork in his hand, and smiled apologetically: "At noon, cook pork ribs and stewed snake soup, add a bowl of shrimp meat, and you can't eat seafood and meat every day, you need balanced nutrition..."
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "You want to eat it, right? Then why do you buy fatty meat? There is rapeseed oil at home, and men can't have money in their pockets. If they have money, they like to spend it randomly..."
"Lard is fragrant, it's good to eat some lard once in a while, you can boil a little onion oil, dig a little bit into the boiled noodles, it's very fragrant..."
"You know how to eat."
"Uncle Zhao's boat will come over later. If there is no problem with the transaction, maybe we will have him and Uncle Lin to have a meal. These meat and vegetables may come in handy when we buy them back."
Now Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything.
Ye Yaodong put the meat into the vegetable basket with a smile, then helped put the porridge out of the pot and let it cool, washed the pot by the way, and handed it to Lin Xiuqing to fry two vegetarian dishes.
After the whole family had a simple breakfast, his father and Uncle Lin came together and asked him to go to the seaside for inspection. It happened that it was windy today, and they didn't go to sea and were at home.
The length of the boat is about 17 meters, which is three times longer than that of a small wooden boat. The weight to be carried depends on the depth of the draft. It is no problem to turn it several times, and other machines work well.
Turned around in the sea, and came back without any problems, and Uncle Zhao also promised that if there is a big problem within half a month, he can come to him.
With Uncle Lin as the guarantor, they were relieved, and went directly to the commune in the village to register, and wrote a receipt and proof, and Ye Yaodong would pay him the money.
Although the law is not yet complete, larger ships need to be registered for easy management, and small wooden ships do not.
"It's been a long time, it's already noon, Dad, Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhao, you all go to my house for dinner, Ah Qing probably has cooked everything."
"No, no, I cooked it at home, go back and eat..."
"It's okay, let's celebrate the success of the transaction. I wish Uncle Zhao a smooth sailing and a fortune, and we will also make a fortune safely." Ye Yaodong happily dragged them home one by one.
He is hospitable. He has many friends and many paths. It is rare to meet a boat boss who can afford a boat of more than 30 meters. Take this opportunity to improve the relationship, and maybe you have to ask him for anything in the future.
Father Ye thought so too, and patted Uncle Lin with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, we will go to Dongzi's house for dinner together, and we will definitely have a meal before leaving after finishing the work. Anyway, I can't go to sea today, what can't I do?" , It’s just a meal, it won’t delay things.”
Their kindness was hard to turn down, so they had to smile and half push and go together.
Lin Xiuqing arranged a table of dishes in advance, stewed snake soup with ribs, shrimp meat, fried mussels with celery, steamed salted fish, fried celery with dried faucet, hot and sour soup, lard residue, taro dipped in fish sauce, and Two bowls of vegetarian dishes, a large table full, with meat, vegetables and fish, is considered very rich in this day and age.
Except for the pork ribs and meat that Ye Yaodong bought in the morning, the others are all in stock at home, and they are all readily available without spending money.
During the period, everyone praised Lin Xiuqing for her ability and cooking well.
He also felt the same way, today a bowl of shrimp meat was eaten up.
There are also places where it is called shrimp paste, and pork belly is especially salty and fragrant to serve with rice.
Because it was noon, they only drank one or two glasses of rice wine in broad daylight, and they didn't dare to drink too much. After they were full, they left. Ye Yaodong also helped clean up the table after sending people away.
Then leaned over, lowered his head, and put his head on his wife's shoulder, with a tone of offering treasures, "I said that today's meat is not bought for nothing, right? It will be used to entertain guests before noon."
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and gave him a blank look, but stopped talking about him.
Ye Yaodong walked up and down with a smile, "Our family also has an iron boat now, do you want me to take you to the sea for a tour? You don't seem to have been to the sea yet?"
Lin Xiuqing was a little moved, "Isn't there a wave today?"
"I didn't say to go today, the sunrise at sea is very beautiful, do you want to take you to see the sunrise at sea tomorrow?"
"Two children..."
"Let them sleep in the house."
Lin Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head, "Forget it, it's too early, I'll look for the two when I wake up, and I still have one in my stomach, so I'm afraid I'll get seasick."
"All right."
Then there is no way to go, we can only wait for the future, the sunrise on the sea is still quite beautiful.
Nothing to do at noon, Ye Yaodong went to put the tools on the boat and some things needed into the cabin of the iron boat, and then went to his hometown.
The matter of the boatman has not been resolved yet. Uncle Zhao came over yesterday, and the boat was quickly bought today.
Before buying it, he didn't dare to look for it in advance. Who knows if it will work? Now he can ask his father, and by the way, see who his father is going to give the small wooden boat to?
Father Ye happened to be taking a nap and got up to do nothing. He was cutting bamboo and weaving bamboo flats there. After knowing his purpose, he also thought about it.
"This boatman can't be found casually. You have to find a trustworthy one. The money touches people's hearts. At sea, you have to face not only natural hazards, but also people's hearts, which are unpredictable."
"I know, that's why I came to ask Dad to see if you have any suitable acquaintances?"
Ye Yaodong also had this concern in his heart. At sea, he gambled on his luck. If he caught a top-quality fish, the boatman would be jealous and push him directly into the sea. This is not impossible.
The death rate at sea is too high, who knows how you died? The people on the shore knew nothing, and they couldn't pursue it if they wanted to.
That's why he came to ask his father, whose character is more reliable?
Actually, if possible, he would like to hire family members. For people outside, how can family members be reliable? But, his elder brother and his second brother have done a good job with his father, and the monthly payment must be higher than that of being a boatman, and they will definitely not think about working for him, so let's come to his father for advice.
Father Ye stopped what he was doing and said, "Your second cousin was originally hired to be a boatman. If he didn't go out to do business with your first cousin, it would be appropriate to hire him. Now...I have to ask, see. See which of your cousins are free."
Ye Yaodong nodded, looking from relatives would be better than looking outside, but he would have less contact with his cousins, the reason is still the same sentence, his previous life was too useless.
After thinking about it, Father Ye called Ye Huimei into the room and asked her to call his elder brother and second brother over.
"Two days ago you said that after you bought the big boat, you wanted to return the small wooden boat to me. I talked to your elder brother and second brother, but I didn't know how they would choose. I just called them over to see what they said? Otherwise? It’s a waste to leave a boat alone.”
"oh."
He was also curious about who was going to accept his small wooden boat, so he went to the house and moved a chair out, so he sat down and waited, intending to listen to it later.
By the way, chat with his father about the recent harvest.
Unexpectedly, in this month alone, after deducting the gas money, each of them will share more than 200 yuan. This is still not going every day, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. Sometimes the wind and waves are strong, and it is good to go for half a month in a month. up.
Good guy, the harvest is so good, they probably don't want to quit, right?
If it weren't for his luck, the goods in the ground cage would be sold for more than a dozen yuan every other day or two, and some poor people could only sell for a few yuan a day.
Three people share a boat. If one person withdraws, two people will share more, and one person will have more than 300 yuan. Compared with the income of more than 100 yuan for the ground cage network, it is much worse.
His two sister-in-laws are very smart. No matter how the account is calculated, it is not cost-effective. It is estimated that his father's plan will come to nothing.
