Although it was midnight, there were still many shirtless workers sitting there chatting as usual.

Everyone came back very early today and had rested long ago.

Ye Yaodong had been busy going back and forth all day, and he felt like he was soaked in it. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his clothes and pants while talking.

There is no need to deal with those goods overnight now. They will be sent out tomorrow anyway, which saves the trouble.

After taking off his clothes, he also took off a bag of money from his body. It was bulging and there was no sound at all when he took it off.

They were all banknotes. When he sold goods, he wiped off all the small changes to save a pile of coins, which would make too much noise.

Father Ye kept following behind and took the money by the way, "Such a big bag!"

He looked happy and smiled, "Why is there no sound? How much did it cost?"

Ye Yaodong stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth to shush.

"Keep your voice down and count."

Father Ye looked outside and saw that the doors and windows were all closed, and he responded in a low voice, "Hey."

"I think there was more than 10,000 yuan, and all the change was wiped out, so there was no sound."

"Why did you erase all the small change? It doesn't matter if it's just a few cents, a dime or two is a lot."

"They bought it for hundreds and thousands of kilograms, but we are still short of a cent or two? If we use a little less, they will be happy. If we put it nicely, we will treat it as a friend and will come to see me next time.

"

When he collected the money, he didn't have time to tidy it up, so he stuffed it all in at once. The bag of money was messy and bulging.

"You are the only one who can speak." Father Ye fell down on the mat, a pile full of them, and lowered his voice happily, "So many!"

Most of them are in denominations of 10 yuan, totaling more than 10,000, which is equivalent to about 100,000 yuan in denominations, but the visual impact is different.

Nowadays, wages are generally in the tens of dollars, and the impact of an amount of more than 10,000 yuan is equivalent to a critical hit for ordinary people.

"There's a boatload of goods." Ye Yaodong said and was already counting.

Father Ye also quickly licked his thumb and index finger and counted.

The father and son were quiet, with only a slight sound of counting money.

There were sounds of workers talking and taking a shower outside the house.

After counting, Ye Yaodong tied up the whole number of 10,000 yuan with a rubber band, and tied the few thousand yuan with yesterday's few thousand yuan.

"One...seventeen thousand...seven thousand two..."

"Isn't it normal to carry more than one hundred and twenty tons of cargo?"

Father Ye slapped his thigh fiercely, "Those who step on the horse will let the damn fresh harvest ship make money to death."

"Who are you scolding? Are you scolding me?"

"Haha, it should be done, we make it ourselves, there are no cheap outsiders."

"You also have to find a good way to collect fresh food in order to sell it. With such a large amount, can just one person eat it? And you have to pay a lot of cash."

"Yes, we are all on our own, so it's good that we don't have to advance money."

Ye Yaodong wrapped the sum of 10,000 yuan in newspapers as usual and locked it in the suitcase. In addition, it was not kept alone. It was already night and he would calculate the money to other fishing boats tomorrow.

“How much points are given to other fishing boats?”

"It's more than 8,000. Except for Zhou Da's ship, we have shares in all other ships, but we will divide this up at the end of the month."

"There are only a few days left. It will be the end of the month in just six or seven days. Now if a typhoon blows, I don't know when we can go to sea in calm conditions..."

"Then we can't break the rules. If we agree to pay dividends at the end of the month, we'll calculate it at the end of the month. Sometimes we can't make it at sea, so there's no other way. We postpone it to the beginning of the month or a day or two in advance. It's not the time yet, and there are still so many days left.

No rush."

"Okay, if you say there's no rush, then there's no rush."

"I've made the majority of it, so I'll give it away in part. Why should I be anxious?"

"Today I see that they have almost finished laying the tiles, and the carpenters are building doors and windows. They should be able to put them in one after another tomorrow."

"Um."

There are too many houses, and their workers have all gone to sea these days. When they first came here, they were just clearing the land and planting vegetables, and didn't do much to help the carpenters install beams.

Now that the typhoon has taken a break, I have free time to hurry up and catch up.

"When everything is sorted out in the past few days, it will be the end of the month. You won't be able to collect another rent next month!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at his father unexpectedly, "Dad, it's a pity that you don't want to be a charter worker. You have already calculated this in advance."

"Then... I figured it out. This is how it is. I just came here a few days ago and the construction here has not been completed. I want to give everyone a place to settle first. That's okay, but after the construction is completed, the rent will definitely be collected!"

"

Father Ye spoke so righteously, but those who didn't know it thought it was his house and were collecting rent from Ye Yaodong.

"Yes, it's very appropriate. After calculating the accounts at the end of the month and getting the dividends, I'll mention it to them, which will be just in time to collect another amount of rent."

"That's it. Compared to the money everyone gets, a month's rent is nothing. However, now I heard that it has risen to 20 yuan a month. Ours is still a newly built building, and it is such a big building.

An open space..."

"Then it's only 20 yuan. It's inappropriate to charge more than others."

"Well, you have so much money, why don't you take the time to remit it back tomorrow?"

"That's okay. I brought 10,000 yuan with me when I came out. I'll remit 10,000 yuan back tomorrow. It just balances the account. I spent some money on buying tiles a few days ago, and I added fuel and ice to the three boats. There's not much money left with me.

It’s more, I just made some money from this trip to sea.”

"If you remit 10,000 yuan, you will still have more than 10,000 yuan left, which is enough for gas and ice next time. Don't put too much money on you."

"Um."

After Ye Yaodong put away the money, he went out to fetch water and take a bath. He also rubbed and stepped on his clothes casually. After passing through a stream of water, he hung them to dry on the rope in the corridor.

The corridor was still covered with mats, and there were already a row of people sleeping, snoring one after another.

Tomorrow we will clean the floor of the room upstairs, spread some straw, and put on a straw mat to sleep on.

At least it can protect you from the wind and rain, and you don't have to sleep on the corridor, otherwise it will rain a little during a typhoon and you will get soaked in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, the sun still came out, but the temperature was not that high, and the wind was very cool.

The workers had already gone to work upstairs early in the morning to help lay the tiles. There were also many people coming and going on the construction site, moving the tiles back and forth.

His father is still telling everyone: "Let's help each other today and fix the doors and windows so that we can sleep in the house at night..."

Ye Yaodong saw them talking and ate first.

When his brothers and friends saw him waking up, they all took the initiative to come around his table and talk. They were all waiting for reconciliation, and everyone basically understood it tacitly.

"After I finish eating, we will reconcile the accounts for the shipment from the day before yesterday."

"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly..."

"I don't know if this typhoon will have a big impact. When will it pass, we will just start doing this, and then the typhoon will come..."

"Whatever you are afraid of, we are already here. When the typhoon passes, we can still go out to sea and make money..."

Everyone was chatting, and Ye Yaodong finished eating quickly and asked them to get the order.

He also went to get a bundle of banknotes and ledgers and came out, waving to everyone and calling them into the room.

Although the workers are all working upstairs, there are also people coming and going around carrying tiles and measuring the dimensions of door openings and windows.

They can just settle the accounts in private, not in front of the workers.

He kept a record of the cargo and cargo bills weighed on the ship, and they only had to calculate their own cargo bills to know how much they could get.

Ye Yaodong also gave them the calculator and asked them to check it again. If the price was correct, he would pay them according to the price on the bill of goods.

In fact, I have already gone through each one countless times, and now it is just a formality.

"Is it no problem? No problem, I'll just count the money, one by one."

He took off the rubber band and put a handful of banknotes on the table. Everyone looked at it.

Ah Zheng rubbed his hands happily, "I just came up here, and I've already made money! It's quite a lot, and it's much easier to make than a small boat!"

"It's too early to say this now, the days of making money are still to come..."

"Yes, yes, it's just an appetizer now..."

Ye Yaodong ignored what they said and gave them the money one by one according to the bill of goods.

"Check it yourself. If there are any mistakes, check them on the spot. I will not be held responsible if you leave the table."

"clear!"

Everyone is waiting for their payment to be received one by one, and then counts it again.

After Ye Yaodong distributed the payment, he still had more than 1,700 left on hand. He slapped the palm of his hand and waited for anyone who hadn't finished counting.

"Dongzi, shall we wait until the end of the month to calculate our share of the two ships?"
