Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that it was okay for him to plan this way, so that he could make money from two boats at the same time, and the other boat would be a partnership with his eldest brother and second brother.
Each of them drives a boat, and they are all members of their own family. The water does not flow to other people's fields, and the money they earn is divided among their own family members.
Let’s talk about how to arrange it later. For now, we have to earn the money during the cuttlefish season first.
"Then do you want to discuss it with dad first? We need to hire someone for this."
"When I wake up, I'll talk to my father. If he thinks it's okay, I'll talk to my eldest and second brothers."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "This squid can earn hundreds in a flood season, and a few can earn a thousand or two thousand. Two boats can earn double. If a boat earns 1,000 yuan, the eldest brother and the second brother can get rid of dad's." 100 yuan, not counting gas money, can be divided from 450 per person to more than 600 per person, and one person can earn more than 100 yuan more."
"It's no different from renting a boat to someone else. If we rent it to someone else, we can split it 50-50, and all the expenses will go to others. This is equivalent to sharing it between four people instead of three people, and everyone will share it. can benefit.”
"Yes, that's what I think. It doesn't cost much to hire someone anyway. If the eldest brother and the second brother have any objections, at most the salary and fuel money we hire will be counted as public expenses, which is better than renting the boat to others. A good deal.”
If this is the case, it is his eldest and second brother who benefit. After all, if he rents the boat to others and shares half of it, but does not pay for labor and oil costs, in all calculation, he can get 60%.
A partnership means sharing 1/3 of two boats. If you have to pay extra for labor and fuel costs, it is actually not much different from sharing half of one boat.
As he thought, he rubbed his temples and felt his head hurt.
"After all, the eldest brother and the second brother only have one boat, and each of us can build one boat. According to the share, we contribute half, and they must bear the labor cost, so that we can divide it into three parts. Otherwise, they only contribute half. And the public pays for everything, so we pay half and only share 1/3, which is a bit uneconomical.”
Ye Yaodong gave her a headache, not to mention that after drinking wine at noon, her mind was not so clear after she lay down.
"It's too complicated. It's a mess. Whatever, let's talk to dad tonight. If the eldest brother and the second brother don't have any objections and are willing to merge the two boats together, just divide them into three parts. Two boats are 1/3 better than one." 1/2 the ship is stronger, win-win.”
"No, I am saying that the expenditure must be negotiated. It is fair to let them pay it. It is unfair to count it as the public house..."
Ye Yaodong thought she was a bit noisy, "We are all brothers..."
"Brothers must also settle accounts clearly. Of course, the money matters must be clearly explained before we can form a partnership. If we don't explain clearly, when various opinions arise when the money is divided, we will have to fight."
"Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense. Let's talk to dad first when we wake up." Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and hugged her, responding vaguely.
He was quite clear at first, but now that he was calculating, he was a little confused, so he might as well take a nap first.
"You have to know for yourself how we can combine our talents..."
When Ye Yaodong saw that she was still mumbling and talking, he simply kissed her and blocked her mouth to save her from talking incessantly. If he wanted to sleep first, he had to listen to her first.
Lin Xiuqing slapped twice, but was pinned down. She looked for an opening and took a breather.
"Don't you want to sleep?"
"Aren't you saying that you are energetic? Use up some energy before going to sleep..."
Lin Xiuqing pinched him and said, "In broad daylight..."
"It's broad daylight and it won't affect..."
"Be quiet...yeah..."
After Ye Yaodong finished exercising, he fell asleep immediately. He felt that it was especially easy to sleep after exercising and relaxing.
Lin Xiuqing tidied up and went out to hold the child. It wasn't until Ye Xiaoxi was put to sleep that the family of three lay down on the bed together and took a nap.
The two boys had been playing happily at the beach for a long time. It was rare that there was no adult to care about them today, so they played all over themselves and filled their buckets with sand.
After returning home, the adults were still sleeping, and they secretly took a shower. They also washed their clothes and destroyed the corpses.
"Brother Ahai, these are cold and not delicious. The ones we eat at the table are delicious. They are hot and delicious..."
"Shut up and keep talking."
"That's right, I'll beat you up again!"
"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat. I won't let you eat separately next time."
Several children gathered together around a basket, ate the things they had packed back for lunch, and played on the beach all afternoon. They were all hungry.
However, Ye Chenghu started telling the story of his eating banquet again, which instantly aroused public outrage.
"There are some that I brought back, but I didn't eat them."
"Then next time, tell Uncle San not to waste money. Don't take you. Take me. I'll definitely get everything back."
"Tch, that's my dad."
"Amazing?"
"It's just amazing!"
"Shut up! If you talk again I'll beat you up!"
"I'll beat you if you talk again!"
Everyone agreed, and a bunch of fists were clenched and stretched out in front of him. Ye Chenghu had to shut up, but he was still very proud. His father was the best, and they couldn't envy him.
The old lady sat at the door and watched the noisy children with a smile on her face, "Don't bully Cheng Hu all the time. Your third uncle's house will make duck soup at night."
"That's it!" Ye Chenghu proudly put his hands on his hips, "We brought back a duck after dinner. It's so big. I just saw grandma chopping it up at the back door."
"Damn it! Why wasn't I born to my third uncle?"
"Shut up!" Ye Chenghai slapped Ye Chenghe on the back of the head, "Don't let me get beaten too!"
"Why do you hit me?"
"If you talk nonsense, you will get me into trouble, you idiot!"
"You are the stupid one."
Ye Chenghe rushed forward unconvinced and tried to fight back, and the two brothers immediately started fighting.
"You pig-brained person...you make me get beaten together every day..."
"You are such a stupid person. You blame me for being beaten..."
"It's all you……"
"It's all your fault..."
The two brothers greeted each other unceremoniously. They wiped all the chicken and duck feces on the ground clean. The old lady stood up and shouted: Stop fighting, stop fighting.
The other children couldn't see it strange, so they ignored them and still squatted there eating and watching.
It wasn't until Ye Mu finished chopping the duck and entered the house that she heard the movement at the door.
She quickly took the whip and went out. The two brothers who were inseparable immediately separated and ran out in a tacit understanding. The others also looked at each other and ran away with the basket.
"A bunch of bastards, they are idle all day long. Some of them fight over food. Their skin is itchy and they need a beating."
"Haha, let's play together after playing for a while..."
"I don't even know if I have done my homework. I run around all day long. I should give them a beating from their mother at night."
Mother Ye cursed at the door and went back into the house to stew the duck.
Ye Yaodong woke up to the fragrance that filled the room. He didn't know what herbs his mother put in to stew them. It smelled particularly fragrant.
He lay down and pondered for a while, until he heard his mother's scolding and his father's voice outside the house, and he sat up.
I also need to talk to his father about the boat arrangements and ask for his opinion.
Father Ye was sitting at the table looking at Mother Ye depressedly, "Obviously you asked me to taste it and see if the meat is rotten, but now you have to blame me for sitting there again."
"I asked you to taste the meat to see if it was rotten, but I didn't ask you to finish eating, and you still sat there motionless? You didn't even wink at all, and you were still smoking. Please bring these two bowls to the next door."
"You didn't say you wanted to take it to the next door. Didn't I just sit there?"
"I'm telling you to serve it now. Don't bother me and go quickly."
"I'm so verbose, and you're talking about me."
Ye's mother knocked on the edge of the pot with a spatula and glared at Ye's father.
Father Ye was not afraid of her. He held a soup bowl in one hand and muttered, "After receiving wages for a few days, he started to shake his head and speak tough..."
"When did I not speak forcefully?"
"I don't know anything about you."
As soon as Ye Yaodong came out, he heard his parents bickering, "What are you doing again?"
The old lady hurriedly said: "Don't worry about your parents. Did they not quarrel for a while? You woke up just in time. The duck is stewed. Ask your mother to fill a bowl for you. Eat it cold. Chicken is not as good as duck. Chicken is more poisonous. , the duck is cooler to eat, and after eating it, you can go to sea at night to make a lot of money..."
Ye Yaodong nodded and rested for several days. The weather has been good these two days. It was time to go to sea at night. By the way, he scooped a bowl of sea water to see if the squid flood season was coming soon.
There is no fixed date or month for the squid flood season. It is up to the fishermen to judge for themselves. Sometimes it comes early, and sometimes it comes late. It depends on the growth of squid that year. If you discover it early, you can make early preparations.
Last year, their family pickled buckets of squid eggs, and he delivered them everywhere. All the brothers, sisters, and relatives of Ah Qing’s natal family gave them away.
This year I can get some bottles and cans and see if they can be sold in stores?
Last month, he brought a jar of fish sauce to the store to sell, but from time to time someone would come over and make a pot, which was almost empty.
There are actually some people who want these country things, just because there are so many of them in the country, everyone can make them, they are not valuable, and they are given to each other.
People outside don’t know how to make it, but they can occasionally sell some in the city.
He planned to give it a try. The quantity was too much and their family couldn't finish it. They might as well use it to cash in. The pickled food was not easy to spoil.
And he was also thinking about getting some squid to dry?
After all, after the cuttlefish flood season arrives, the most abundant ones are cuttlefish. Let’s dry some to see if they sell well. After all, fresh ones are not as widely circulated as dry goods.
Fresh ones can only be bought and sold in surrounding towns. When they first come out, the price will be a little higher, but they will only drop day by day later.
He thought that maybe in the later period, when the price would drop almost completely and would no longer drop, he would keep a batch for himself.
Otherwise, the shop would have to be closed temporarily. During the flood season, everyone would go fishing for squid, and squid would make up the majority of the goods in the trawl. His dried fish business would be affected.
