Chapter 1184 Fishing is just a side job(2/3)
"One point and two points?"
"Anything is fine, just mix in the 10 or 20 cents, otherwise it won't be easy to count."
When he went out in the morning, he grabbed a lot of pennies. Their family didn't have much other money, but there were several buckets of pennies.
It just so happens that I can take advantage of the opportunity to spend some money and go out, so as not to take up space.
"Can you receive the goods if you go temporarily today? Most people have fallen into the sea, right?"
"We received more than 1,000 kilograms. Most of them were contributed by small wooden boats or trawlers that went back and forth on the same day. They probably planned to take them home to feed chickens, ducks and pigs. When they heard that we were collecting these groceries there, they brought them over and sold them."
"That's not bad. I can still gain about 1,000 kilograms on the first day of my temporary visit."
"Well, just two barrels carried by a boat can weigh dozens of kilograms, and it's not much more than 1,000 kilograms. There will be more tomorrow."
He has already calculated that if he spends all 100 yuan, he can collect about 20,000 kilograms, which is really a very low cost.
Today, I saw that some of the fishermen brought back were sold to him. I thought that everyone didn't ask for much, as long as they could make money.
Selling for 20 cents per 100 kilograms is just mediocre, but you can still get an extra five or six yuan in a month.
The highest level of fish sauce is when one hundred pounds of fish is decomposed and melted into forty pounds of fish sauce.
The first filtered fish sauce contains fish fat that has the strongest aroma. Adding a few drops when cooking or dipping fish will make people feel delicious.
Generally, most of the fish sauce sold in the market is the second-stage fish sauce, that is, the fish residue after filtering in the first stage is reused, and a certain amount of salt water is injected into the tank and marinated again.
In this way, the same one hundred kilograms of fish can produce two hundred kilograms of fish sauce, and the fragrance will be much lighter than the first one.
When Ye Yaodong first started working, he was quite conscientious. He only made the first dish and did not cut corners.
Most of the things these days are made of real materials, otherwise a washing machine can last 20 years.
He calculated that 20,000 kilograms of fish could produce 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms of fish sauce.
The actual cost of the fish is 100 yuan. The daily round trip of the fishing boat plus the cost of labor and materials is calculated as 100 yuan, but it can be sold for more than 800 yuan.
Although the machine he bought now is expensive, the cost is actually very low when divided into each package. Although he has not yet earned it, he has calculated that it is not a problem to earn at least half to 60 to 70%.
The longer the machine runs, the lower the cost. This low-priced product is inherently small profits but quick turnover, and wins by quantity.
When the development becomes stable in the future, it will still be very promising. Don’t look down on it just because it is cheap.
You have to make big money, but you also have to make small money.
Lin Xiuqing calculated in her mind how much she could collect for 100 yuan, and after thinking about it, she felt that this amount was almost enough.
By fermenting this amount steadily every day, the output will be almost controlled at this amount every day.
Otherwise, too much will be harvested at once, and you will worry that there will be no place for fermentation, and the custom-made wooden barrels and large tanks will not be able to keep up with it.
"Then give them 100 yuan to collect, and just limit the amount collected every day?"
"Well, that's what I told A Liang today."
"You're going to sea at night. Do you feel safe leaving it to them to pick up tomorrow? We've just started..."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and interrupted her, "What's wrong with this? It's only 100 yuan. What's wrong? Are you worried that someone will take care of you? Or are you worried that someone will take the money and run away? It's only 100 yuan.
How could anyone be that stupid?"
"There are several of them in the group, so we don't have to worry about anything happening outside. It's something that no one wants, and it won't bother anyone. We only spent 100 yuan on it, so we don't have to worry about anything."
Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
"I know, let's try giving them 100 yuan tomorrow and see how much they can get back. Are you hungry? Do you want to cook you some snacks?"
"Cook some, I'm hungry."
"Then you sit down and rest for a while, the cold pot and stove won't go away that quickly."
"good."
Ye Yaodong went to wash his face and soak his feet first. With nothing to do, he looked at the half-rolled yarn on the table and took it over, put the loose side on his knees, and helped to roll it up.
She has been so busy lately that she never thought she could curl yarn and knit a sweater.
"Did you ask Holly to come over to work today?"
"Yes, I called someone over this morning to help. The girl was very happy. Today I feel much more relaxed with her help. I don't have to hold a notebook to record the number of people and goods. All the tasks are left to her, so I can
Come back and cook when you have time."
"Not only do you have time to cook, you can also continue knitting."
Lin Xiuqing smiled, and the firelight in the stove made her face look particularly gentle.
"Isn't this cooking? While I'm lighting the fire, I just want to knit a little. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish knitting the new clothes for the New Year. It's New Year's Day now, and the New Year will be here soon."
"Didn't you ask someone to give it to my mother?"
"Mom is also very busy, and I have to help. Weaving a piece of clothing also takes a lot of time."
"If you can't finish knitting, just leave it. I don't care, as long as the little ones have new clothes to wear."
"How can that be done? You still have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. It doesn't matter if you have a few small ones. You are going out to meet people, so you have to dress decently and you can't wear old clothes."
"You can't even see the cotton-padded jacket I made last year when I wear it. I haven't worn it a few times. It's all in good condition. I basically wear it for work."
"That still has to be done. We don't have to make new clothes, you have to."
"All right."
The couple chatted for a while.
After the noodles were cooked, Lin Xiuqing also sat at the table with her chin propped up, smiling and watching him eat, and talking quietly with him.
After finishing the supper, Ye Yaodong also sat at the table and waited for her to finish washing the dishes. Then he turned off the lights and the couple went into the house with their arms around each other.
It was not convenient to count money at night because the noise was too loud. Ye Yaodong handed the money to her and asked her to count it tomorrow. The two of them climbed into bed and chatted quietly.
"Big brother and second brother are so happy today. They have been sitting at the door talking about their SF Express numbers."
"That's just right. No one else needs to interrupt. The two of them can have a happy chat."
"Haha, yes, my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law have been feeling windy when going out for the past two days. I have been talking loudly to everyone in the workshop, and my back has become straight."
"It's normal. It's so respectable. An SF Express ship costs a lot of money. It should be more airy."
"Well, go to bed quickly, we have to go to sea at night."
"I already said I won't sleep. It's already past 12 o'clock. Why should I sleep? I'll sleep on the boat later."
Lin Xiuqing pushed him, "Then it would be better if you don't come back and just go to the boat and lie down."
"That's not okay. It's an unusual night without me, so you still have to wonder why I'm going there?"
"I suspect why you are going there? I suspect you were seduced and went to sleep at your mistress's house?"
"A mistress is out of the question, but there is no shortage of women who shamelessly seduce me. The whole village knows that your husband is handsome, rich, and has a good body and strength..."
"Shut up."
"Why don't you believe it..."
Ye Yaodong really didn't sleep. Even though he was exhausted, he stared at the ceiling with his eyes open and listened to the regular breathing in his ears.
When the time came, I immediately got up and walked out quietly.
This time when he went to sea, his father stopped sailing the ship for him and went to sail the SF Express.
He was so sleepy that he didn't drive it himself, but handed it over to Chen Laoqi, the only one on the boat who was about the same age as his father, and he had also asked him to help drive the boat before.
We have been working together for a while, and we understand each other quite well.
Others are now from the younger generation, in their 20s and 30s.
So after boarding the ship, he handed it over to Chen Laoqi to drive directly. Chen Laoqi could just follow the SF Express and the Harvest. He had just set off and hadn't arrived at the destination yet, so there was nothing he needed to do.
By the time it was daylight at the destination, he had slept enough to get up.
Although it was not good to rest, I had a rest anyway.
Ye Yaodong went out to the deck, stretched out, put on his sunglasses, and adjusted the woolen hat on his head.
There were no traces of the Harvest and SF Express beside the fishing boats.
But if you look carefully in the distance, you can still see a black spot in the shape of a fishing boat in the east and west directions.
In the past, fishing at the same time as the Harvest was like this. We stayed far away and did not affect each other, as long as we could see each other.
We are in the middle of the sea. The sea is boundless and vast. The coastline is endless. No matter how many boats there are, it won't be in the way. What's more, the marine products are now rich.
Ye Yaodong said hello to the others on the deck, had breakfast and went up to the helm.
He got up late, and the fishing nets had already been placed on the seabed for work.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. It's my turn. You can go and rest first."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then. It's been two hours since I put down the fishing net. You can put it up later depending on the situation."
"Okay, nothing happened at night?"
"No, nothing happened. We just followed the two boats and nothing happened."
