Chapter 1079 Negotiated
The two boats walked back slowly, one behind the other, continuing their work as they sailed. They were not in a hurry to go back. The first thing they wanted to do was to fill up the fish warehouse and get to the shore to sell the goods, and get things done in the meantime.
The crew members on both sides also have orderly shifts, from day to night, and from night to day, a boring but fulfilling life on a fishing boat, all for the purpose of making a living.
However, knowing that they will be able to go home soon, everyone is looking forward to it, with smiles on their faces as they speak, which is second only to the joy of a good harvest.
They all calculated the fishing time, and waited until the wholesale market opened at night before going ashore. However, they only transported fish that could be sold for money to the market, and kept a few cents of fish.
Ye Yaodong wants to keep it back to dry, including the goods on the Harvest, and keep them home to dry. This is the last time in the near future. The next time to dry fish will probably have to wait until October, in autumn.
Summer is really not suitable for drying, so there is very little drying in these two months. It depends entirely on the drying at the end of last year and the first few months to support the whole year.
It’s also a good time to take advantage of the large-scale sales in the second half of the year to clear out last year’s goods. While moving the goods, Ye Yaodong was thinking, it was only more than June, but why did he always feel like it was the end of the year soon?
The plans are all for the second half of the year, and it seems that this year is about to be over again, and it is obviously only the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
They saved the goods for two days, and the quantity was quite large. They both sold until dawn. Since they were planning to go to the shipyard to order a ship and drive a new ship home, the two of them simply went to the shipyard first and then just sailed from the shipyard to the dock to meet up.
The two of them didn't stay in the store for long. Aguang went to pay attention to Huimei, and Ye Yaodong also took the store's sales in recent days with him. If you order a ship later, you will have to pay a deposit. Useful.
When they went to sea, their pockets were empty, and they filled up their fuel in advance before setting off. In recent days, they had to replenish the goods they sold, refuel and add ice. In total, they only had less than 2,000 yuan left in their hands. A little, and a small half of it was obtained from selling goods this morning.
Harvest will be a little more, after all, he returned to the city halfway and was delayed for most of the day without harvesting. Together, they only had just over 4,000 yuan, and including the profit from the store, they only had 6,000 yuan. After all, when his mother was sent here, she had just taken the money from the store home, and it had only been about a week, and sales were limited.
It was a bit different from the original idea of taking 10,000 yuan as a deposit. At first, they only wanted to go to the province to ask questions first, and then go home and consult with others before making plans, so they didn't bring any money with them. .
Who would have thought that they would go back to the city and make a reservation now, and the price is only 6,000 yuan now. The city can only accept an order for one ship, so they will place an order for one ship first and wait for two days before going out to sea. Come and place an order.
Just in time to go back and discuss it with Xiao Zheng again. But if the discussion is complete, it would be better to drive a tractor immediately and let them all come over to take a look. At least the money must be spent so that they can see it.
By the time the two of them boarded A Guang's new boat, it was already 1 pm. They left the market at 7 or 8 am. The delay lasted for five or six hours. They were both anxious to return home and worried about the other two boats. Waiting in a hurry at the pier.
The first thing to do when boarding the ship is to meet at the dock. There are no fishing nets or tools on the new ship, but Father Pei had prepared them in advance when he came, and those things are now on the Harvest.
After reuniting, they would just try fishing on the sea surface by themselves, and return by the way. It doesn't matter if there is no good day today. Go back and watch the good days and set off firecrackers.
It's not the first boat anymore, so they don't pay that much attention to it. What's more, for them, this boat is considered a small boat now, and the sense of ceremony doesn't need to be so heavy. They can be more casual.
Father Ye knew that they had sold out and were going to the shipyard to book a ship and bring a new ship back, so when he saw a new ship docking, he guessed that it was them coming back. .
After getting closer, I saw the two people standing on the deck, and my heart that had been hanging around all day was relieved.
"I'm finally back. I went out at night and haven't come back until now. A whole day has passed and I can't contact you. I've been worried for a long time. I couldn't eat well or sleep well."
"You didn't sleep?"
"I'm asleep. Didn't I wake up now? Didn't I see that you guys haven't come back yet? The ship has sailed back, and there are other ships to be booked. Have you booked them?"
"It's settled. I've decided on the same specifications as my Dongsheng. One with the same configuration costs 16,000. Aguang's money from selling the goods is only enough to make up for the balance of the fishing boat. Fortunately, the store still has business. I scraped together 4,000 yuan to book a boat first and pay it as a deposit. If I come back a few days later to book the second boat, I have to make up the missing deposit." Father Ye frowned when he heard the price.
"It's so expensive."
"It's not too expensive. The price in the county is almost the same. This time in the city, the price is still a good deal. It is said that it can be paid by the end of next year. If you order another one, it can also be arranged by the end of next year. There will be a priority, and there will be a difference. Ten days and a half, but not a big difference.”
"Okay, you and your friends have already made up their minds, so go back quickly. If you rush back now, you can probably get home before dark." A Guang nodded.
"Okay, let's not test the water now, just sail the boat back, go home and see how it goes before testing the water, and then set off firecrackers. It's not Article 1 anyway, the ones bigger than this are already It's on."
"Then you don't have to come over. You can just drive a new boat there alone. I'll drive a boat with my father, and you can follow behind."
"Okay." The three boats, two large and one small, set sail again. This time, apart from the boats full of groceries, Ye Yaodong only had a few dozen dollars on him.
After arriving home, the person who paid for Ah Qing also took out all the change in his pockets and took out the bag and shook it open. There were only a few cents in change, which was scattered all over the table.
Lin Xiuqing's original smile suddenly froze.
"Only this?"
"That's all, it's all here." He was a little intentional and didn't immediately say that the money was used to book a fishing boat, just to see how she would react.
"Is it because the goods received at sea are not good these days? It's not like it's just this little change. There are not even a few big ones of one or two yuan. The sales are taken care of by the Great Unity, so you should just take the money. Are you going to pay Aguang in advance for the fish that he just weighed?"
"How much are those fish and groceries worth?"
"Then what's going on? What happened? Were you robbed on the way to the dock after selling your goods? It doesn't look like it. No bruises or swelling?" Lin Xiuqing curiously took his hand and looked back and forth. I lifted up his clothes and saw no injuries.
"Did you hide it? Are you teasing me on purpose?" She chuckled and pulled off his clothes and then tugged on his pants, pulled his pants open, lowered his head and looked inside.
Ye Yaodong took the opportunity to press her head and almost stuff it into her crotch. Fortunately, she responded quickly and slapped him a few times and pushed him away.
"What are you doing, gangster!"
"The evil one is the first to file a complaint. It's obvious that you are the first to act like a hooligan, so you can take off my pants and pull down my pants in broad daylight to see my baby."
"Look at your size..."
"Don't you want to see my little head..."
"Bah, shameless bastard, I'm just checking to see if you have any private money hidden in your crotch."
"Come on, come on, go inside the room, I'll check it for you, let you look carefully from the inside out." As he spoke, Ye Yaodong hooked her neck and was about to lead her into the room.
"I do not want……"
"Don't go in the house? Damn it, you still want to be in the main room! I like playing in such exciting situations in the clear sky. Fortunately, the old lady and her two children were staying in the workshop to watch the fun, and there was no..."
"You're talking nonsense, shut up and keep your voice down..."
"What are you afraid of? There is no one next door. They all went to the workshop to watch the fun and help."
"Sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is going over there to help, but the eldest brother and the second brother must be at home..." Lin Xiuqing pushed him away, blushing and blushing at his fuss, but she also realized that it must be nothing, otherwise, he I wouldn't be in the mood to play around and talk dirty to her like this.
She looked him up and down suspiciously,
"Did you use the money to buy something again?"
"It's in your crotch, take a look."
"Liar."
"I'm not going to lie to you, I'm hiding it in my crotch." Ye Yaodong said as he took off his clothes, shirtless, and then took off his trousers, and stood in front of her wearing only his boxers.
"Look, it's hidden in his crotch. It's not in his clothes and pants." Lin Xiuqing glanced at his crotch with doubtful eyes today. It was so loose that it didn't look like he had hidden a lot of money.
"You are so flat and have no bulge at all. How could you possibly be hiding a lot of money?"
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Ye Yaodong felt humiliated and depressed. After saying this, he grabbed her hand and put it into his pants.
"No drums? drums or drums? drums or drums? drums or drums?" Lin Xiuqing laughed out loud at his excited and depressed look, and pinched him.
"Hiss..." Ye Yaodong took a breath and immediately hugged her, and the couple laughed and made a mess.
"Shameless, don't do it in broad daylight... Hey, there really is something!!" She pinched it twice, making him take two breaths of air before taking it out, and took out something from the secret compartment she had sewn. piece of paper.
"What is this?" Worried that there was still something left to take out, she pinched it twice through his pants. When she didn't feel it, she opened his crotch and took a look.
"No more?" Ye Yaodong covered his crotch and laughed angrily,
"Did you do it on purpose? What do you mean it's gone? If such a big man didn't see it, it's gone?" Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look.
"Be serious and talk about business, don't be so playful and smiling."
"I'm very serious. Who was not serious just now? Are you embarrassed to accuse me? You are the most shameless person."
"What list is this?"
"See for yourself." He rubbed his soft ribs that were a little painful from being pinched just now, and then took the basin to get water for a bath, leaving her alone to study there, and then punish her properly after he regained his energy.
Lin Xiuqing opened the list and took a quick look and knew it was a fishing boat ordering contract. She immediately followed him to the front door.
The back door is now either filled with chicken or duck excrement, or goose or sheep excrement. Ye Yaodong doesn't like to go to the back door to wash himself when taking a shower. He always carries a washbasin to the front door yard to wash.
"Have you decided on the fishing boat that you and your friend have discussed? Did you use the money you earned from this trip to book a boat? I didn't tell you earlier, but we only ordered one here. Didn't you say you wanted to order two?"
"I don't have enough money. I didn't bring any money with me this time, so I just used the money from selling goods and a little money from my father in the market to make a deposit. When I go out to sea next time, I will go to the market to make up the deposit first, and then Order one."
"Oh, let me tell you, how could you just get that little money for no reason, but you are so dishonest..."
"Why am I not serious? I'm always serious. It's obvious that you are not serious, but I don't do anything to you. You treat me like this and that."
"Shush shush...outside, at the door, shut up."
"You know how to be shy? You were so bold just now...hiss..." Lin Xiuqing pinched his bare arm again, then turned around and went back to the house, not talking to him anymore.
If she stayed with him again and didn't know what words to say, she would go into the house and put away the contract first, and then sweep the pile of change on the table to the side first, and give him something to eat first, Father Ye Probably coming over for dinner soon.
It was almost dark when they arrived home. Dinner had already passed, and there was no food left. In the summer, any leftovers were thrown away.
Ye Yaodong shouted to her from behind,
"Don't put the list away yet, wait until I finish eating...Forget it, I'm quite tired. We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's getting dark now, so you put it away first." He originally thought of eating it after taking a shower later. After dinner, I went to talk to Azheng and Xiaoxiao, but considering that I had stayed up all night and a whole day without closing my eyes, I might as well take a nap first and talk about it tomorrow when I woke up.
If they go to sea tomorrow, it would be too late to wait until tomorrow night. His workshop was unusually busy tonight, and he could hear the noise coming from the other side even as he was standing at the door taking a shower.
All the neighbors in the surrounding area also ran over there to watch the excitement. Someone was guarding the gate to prevent them from coming in, and it did not stop everyone from standing outside the gate to watch the excitement and chat inside.
So much so that the area around their house looked deserted and there was no sound of conversation. Even the children were playing around the workshop instead of outside their door.
After chatting casually with his father and Ah Qing during the meal, he was so exhausted that his eyelids were clenched. He went to bed early after the meal and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
Ah Qing didn't have time to care about him. The fishing boat had just come back, and the piles of fish they brought back were still being weighed and slaughtered. With Father Pei and a few younger brothers here, she could get away to prepare dinner for the two men.
Ye Yaodong slept so deeply that he didn't even notice that Ah Qing and the two little ones went back to the house to sleep. He slept until noon the next day before waking up.
A long sleep did not make him feel refreshed. Instead, he felt tired, had a headache, and even felt soreness in his back.
The occasional sound of spatulas colliding with iron pots could also be heard from the main room outside, just in time for him to have his lunch at noon.
Lin Xiuqing was preparing lunch alone when she saw him getting up.
"Are you awake? You will be able to eat soon. Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I think you are too tired. I didn't wake you up this morning and let you sleep casually. You are also amazing, you can actually sleep until this point. ”
"I'm tired. When I came back, I hadn't slept a wink all day and night, you know?"
"I'm so tired. I couldn't tell when I came back yesterday. Let's go wash up first."
"Has Aguang come yet?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It means he's not much better than me. He probably hasn't gotten up yet. He might still be sleeping at the moment." Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily. Is this a comparison?
After lunch, he felt a little better and his headache was gone. In fact, the most important thing was his headache. His backache and other things were fine.
Aguang also came over after lunch, just sat there and played with the child for a while, then went around the workshop and took his daughter back.
Mainly because he came here to take his daughter back. He was too tired when he came back yesterday and he didn't have the energy to deal with the child, so he went home to sleep first and only came to pick her up today.
On the way back, he also dropped by Xiaoxiao to tell Azheng's house that he would go to his house to have a chat in the evening after they came back. Since no one was here yet, it was not appropriate to talk about the boat. They should talk anyway. We had talked about it before on the ship and in the shipyard.
The whole family was busy, but he was the most leisurely. He originally wanted to go to the workshop to see the excitement, but thinking that the old lady also liked the excitement, he decided not to go there and asked her to watch and listen to the excitement in the workshop. Gossip, he stayed to look after the house.
It's quite pleasant to lie down on the armchair by the door to enjoy the cool air and take a nap at the same time. When night fell in the evening, Aguang came over with Azheng and Xiaoxiao.
And he also asked Ah Qing to show them the order that he put away yesterday.
"Take a look..." Ah Zheng said with a playful smile.
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? How many words do you know and how many words do I know?"
"You're worthless. I told you to go to literacy classes but you won't."
"Isn't it because there is no place to use words? It would be great if I could write my own name. My parents can't even write their own names, so why can't they still live to be old?"
"Look at your prospects. Is his generation the same as ours? They don't have enough food and clothing. They only have a stutter. How can they control whether they can read or not? You have no shortage of food and plenty of clothing. Yes, and he has money, what boss doesn’t know how to read? If he writes his name crookedly, will it make people laugh?” Ah Zheng touched his chin.
"It makes sense. After all, I am also a householder with ten thousand yuan, and I am somewhat famous in the village. I really can't do anything without knowing a few words."
"Yes, and you will become richer and richer in the future. If you don't know how to read, what if someone fools you, gives you a random slip to sign, and defrauds you of all your money?"
"That's true. I will definitely become richer and richer." Ye Yaodong was speechless. This man only listened to what he wanted to hear and didn't listen to anything else.
Xiaoxiao smiled and took the list directly from his hand.
"You fool, keep dreaming. Let me take a look at the list. At any rate, I know more words than you. I can understand even a blind guesser."
"You two should find a chance to go to a literacy class and learn a few more words. It won't hurt. At least you can read the newspaper and show off." Azheng patted the table.
"That's true! When I was passing by the town, I saw some people sitting at the door with newspapers in their hands and glasses. They were pretending to be just like you said. They can pretend to be intellectuals."
"Maybe he is an intellectual."
"When I have some free time, I will go to literacy classes, and then order a few newspapers. I will sit at the door and read the newspapers in the winter. I can bluff people no matter what..."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed at him.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's more important to talk about business. Because when I went there, I still wanted to visit the province, but I didn't expect that I couldn't find a place for a long time. The local fishermen didn't speak Mandarin, so they just talked a lot in local dialect. I listened to it again. Can't understand."
"We asked other people, but the explanation was not very clear. We asked them to go to the boat to show us the way, but they were not willing. It was dark again, so we had to come back. I thought we didn't have to look for it anymore. It was a waste of time. We could just go directly to the city. Once booked, it’s close and convenient, so you don’t have to worry about being out of reach. ”
"So I didn't bring enough money. I originally wanted to order two, but the money we made from selling the goods this time was barely enough to use as a deposit for a boat. I will bring more when I order the second one. "
"The fishing boat we ordered is the same as the Dongsheng, but the price has increased. Take a look at the amount on the contract. It's all written down. Let's talk after reading it." Ye Yaodong briefly explained the situation to them.
Ah Zheng sat at the table with his feet up, not even looking at the contract.
"Just make up your mind. We don't know as much as you. Anyway, everyone has a share in this matter. You can't trick yourself if you trick anyone."
"Then you still have to take a look at what you should read. I don't know a few words, so at least take a look at the numbers."
"Are you sure you want to book two ships?" Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant.
"The ship will be delivered at the end of next year. Don't pay immediately. Can't you all make money next year? Decide early, maybe the price will increase again next year." Aguang also persuaded: "Think about it, we don't need a ship The capital was repaid within one year, and if we book two ships, it’s not too much for the four of us to divide it up. I still feel that Harvest’s shareholding is too small, and I’ve made more money with less, so half of it has been divided. "Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng looked at each other, feeling that what they said made sense.
They also know how profitable their two boats are, and they know more than outsiders. Ah Zheng was the first to respond.
"Okay, then I have no objection. Anyway, just pay a deposit first. We can afford it. The deposit for this boat is 4,000 yuan, so does the deposit for the second boat need to be 6,000 yuan? Just make up 10,000 yuan?"
"It's almost the same. When you left, you told us that if you come back to book the second one, you have to pay a little more deposit, 10,000 for both boats."
"Then there are four of us, shall we share it equally? One boat, one person will take half?" Xiaoxiao saw that Azheng had already made the decision, so he did not hesitate. Anyway, he couldn't lose money, and he really couldn't get out the money. Then he would give the shares to Just transfer some to them, or distribute some to your brothers at home.
Ye Yaodong shook his head,
"No, for the share of 3322, you two will each hold three shares, and A Guang and I will hold two shares. If both boats are handed over to you at that time, they can be divided. Two people will share one boat, 64 shares, or they can be combined 3322 is fine, but you two have to take the lion’s share, and it will be up to you to drive the ship when the time comes.”
"That's right, Adong and I both have many boats, and both of us are a bit busy. If we were asked to drive another boat each of us, we wouldn't have the time. You rent the trawler at home to your brothers or relatives, I'm going to sail a big boat with my father or another brother, so it's more appropriate." The two were silent again, either looking up at the ceiling or the wall, thinking about this problem.
Ye Yaodong said again: "If I hadn't thought about letting you control the fishing boat, I would have thought about a 50-50 split. If I had a little more shares, I could get a little more money." Aguang also said: "Although it costs a little more, it will always be the same." For a return of capital, if you split it 50-50 or 60-40, you only need to pay a thousand dollars more, and you only need to pay the money at the end of next year. If you really feel that the pressure is too great and you can't pay it, then we will give it 50-50. Let’s divide it into 3322 for now?” Xiaoxiao nodded,
"That's okay. Let's agree on 3322 now. When the time comes, we still want to split it equally or turn it into a single ship. Then we can discuss it when the ship is delivered."
"Then you have no objection, and neither do I."
"Okay, that's no problem. Let's see if you are free tomorrow? If you are free, just drive the tractor to the shipyard and let everyone decide together. I have to give you a sense of participation. Otherwise, how can we just ask you to contribute money? ?" Ye Yaodong joked with a smile.
"Haha, okay, booking a ship is also a big deal. I just have a day off. I will go back and talk to my dad in the evening. I haven't told him that I want to book a big ship." Aguang looked at Azheng strangely,
"Fuck, how can you do this? Do you have to deal with this first and then tell it later?"
"Ah, I am the only son of my father, so of course I have the final say. I will talk to him when I go back tonight and discuss it. He will definitely think that I am successful and I will wake up laughing even in my dreams." Ye Yaodong silently thought in his heart. He lit a piece of wax for him and patted his shoulder.
"That's a good idea. I hope so. I hope I can see you completely when I set off tomorrow."
"Nonsense, he only has my son, and he has to wait for me to retire and die, how can he beat me to death? What's more, I am still so promising. I can book a ship like the Dongsheng. How glorious will my ancestors be? My mother is probably midnight They all have to light incense for their ancestors and talk to them. "Everyone laughed to death.
Lin Xiuqing was speechless sitting in front of the stove. There was a nest of snakes and rats. If A Dong hadn't kept asking them to do this and that, how could he still light incense for his ancestors in the middle of the night?
Xiaoxiao also gave him a thumbs up.
"You are braver, but I don't dare. Growing up, my father broke many sticks with his stick. I only told him to book one boat that day, and now I have booked two boats. I have to talk to him when I go back in the evening. , but I have already said hello before, so there should be no problem, and he will probably be happy. "
"My father must be the same, and he will definitely think that I am old and promising." Ye Yaodong felt that it was one thing for his father to think that he was promising, but he had experience in cutting it off first and telling it later... scolding him for a trivial matter, this kind of thing If it's a big deal worth 10,000 yuan, breaking two sticks would be considered a light thing.
It's true that he would be happy if he was so promising, but if he said it when he was in front of him, and asked his father to help him, he would probably be half angry to death.
"Then it's settled. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will drive the tractor directly to the shipyard and book the ship. This way we don't have to worry about it all the time. We'll have peace of mind if we make the decision early."
"no problem."
"Then how do we divide the deposit now?" Everyone looked at Ye Yaodong, after all, he was the one who advanced the money today.
"For 10,000 yuan, each person should pay 2,500 yuan. Let's divide it evenly first. No one is short of the 500 yuan anyway. It doesn't matter if you pay more or less."
"Okay, then we will bring the money tomorrow and then return to you what you advanced today."
"Okay, it's okay. It's rare that such a big thing has been settled. Do you want to have a few glasses of wine?" Azheng shook his head in a rare move.
"Forget it, I was exhausted from going out at night and just came back. I have to get up early tomorrow. When I get back, I have to explain to my father that I don't have time to drink."
"Yes, the last sentence is the key point. You should go back and get beaten first."
"Nonsense, how could I be beaten?" How could a joke not be beaten? This thought flashed through the minds of the three of them.
