Chapter 1048: Settlement (10,000 words, monthly vote +21)

Father Ye is quite obedient now.

He usually does whatever he is asked to do, and does not scold anyone, but he does make people uncomfortable every day.

I don’t know if Dongzi has become more successful, and then everyone feels that this old guy is no longer of much use. Haha, it may be that Dongzi is becoming more and more organized, making more and more money, and does not give people anything.

Opportunity for reprimand.

They sailed the fishing boat around the island and immediately started dropping tree branches.

After placing them evenly in the area reserved for them, Ye Yaodong sailed towards Azhengna, wanting to see how the squids had attached their eggs today.

"It's not much. It's so troublesome to collect. Bundles of branches are hooked up with fishing nets, but there aren't many of them. It's a waste of time."

"That means it's still early."

"Well, I have to wait until tomorrow to come and take a look. We have to continue trawling now."

"We are also going back. We have collected all the long lines, refilled the bait, and put all the branches into the sea. It seems there is no more life."

Ah Zheng's face was full of envy, "It's so comfortable for you. You don't need to go out at night. You only need to go out in the morning and work for a long time, and then go back at noon."

"Isn't it that the flood season has not yet completely arrived? It is a waste of time to stay here. If we wait a few days later, we will still have to work until the evening before we can go back."

"Then I'll leave first."

"Go, go."

Ye Yaodong also drove the boat and was about to go back, but when he turned his head, he saw his father squatting there sorting the fish and not cooking the rice he promised.

"We've thrown away the branches, why don't you cook?"

"Aren't we going back soon? I think I can just go home and eat to save myself the trouble. It's only one or two o'clock when I get home anyway."

"Make excuses for yourself to be lazy."

"Let's pick these goods on the way back. When we get to the shore, we won't waste any time. We can weigh them right away. There are also few fishing boats going back at this time. There is no need to queue up or wait. Eating at home is not as good as at sea.

Eat well."

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything and asked him to cook. Of course he didn't want to cook either.

It takes about an hour to drive back from here offshore. When we dock, there are no boats on the shore, only a few small wooden boats.

When Ah Cai saw his boat coming back, he was very happy to welcome him, "Good luck, how was the harvest today?"

"It's okay. There is a small golden gun, which weighs about thirty or forty pounds. Let's see how much it costs. There is also a swallowtail spot, blue. Come and help pick up the goods."

"Okay, you have gained quite a lot. I went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon, and the harvest is quite good."

"It's so careless. How can we make ends meet if the harvest is not good? Now we have a large family and a large group of people. I don't know if what I earn in one day is enough to pay for so many people in one day."

"That's true, you are getting bigger and bigger as you work now, and you have more and more people in your hands. Of course, the wages paid out are more and more, but you will definitely earn more, so don't call it poor."

"Whose employees sit at home with their feet up and chatting while the boss goes out to earn money to pay them wages? Isn't it me?"

Ah Cai was instantly happy, "Hey, don't tell me, it's true, the workers from the big ships your family hired have been chatting at home with their feet up for the past two days, bragging about fighting pirates.

There is also the story of catching more than 100,000 catties of fish in one net. No one wants to hear the story, and they are still bragging with pride."

"Really, they are sitting there comfortably with their feet up, chatting and basking in the sun, while I am working hard to earn money to pay them wages. Who has a boss like me? There is no boss who is less like a boss than me.

Already."

"That's true. It's quite comfortable working for you."

"So the price should be higher for me, otherwise I won't be able to pay wages."

"Okay, okay..."

He was talking nonsense here and complained a lot. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, word spread in the village that he was too kind to his boatmen, letting them rest at home and going to sea to earn money to pay them wages.

Moreover, it is said that he will give out red envelopes whenever he finds big products online, and his wages have increased by 5 yuan this year, which makes everyone envious.

Some people are very old, in their 50s, and they still come to Ye’s father and ask if they are still lacking people. It’s really disgusting to hear it~

Not only men want to work as boatmen on their boats, but women too.

A few scattered women came to Ye Mu and asked when a large number of people would be needed and when the ship would be repaired. The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong took the goods list and then followed his father home. In just half a day in the morning, they sold more than 80 yuan, all because the little golden gun and the swallowtail spot were the most valuable, accounting for 1/3.

After returning home and handing the manifest to Ah Qing, he ate a simple bowl of noodles and then hurried to the village committee to make a call to the shipyard.

He asked them to hurry up and repair the fishing boat he captured. They should repair the fishing boat first. They were also given five days to repair it. It didn't matter if the delivery dates of other boats were pushed back later.

The shipyard also agreed, and Ye Yaodong was relieved.

It just so happened that the boatmen he hired were all sitting at home with their feet up and gossiping. After the boat was repaired, he and his father would take one boatman to fish for squid.

However, more branches need to be cut, tied up in advance and put there for later use, so that they can be put to use as soon as the ship comes back.

After paying the phone bill, he went back and told the boys who were watching the workshop to chop the branches. As for the fact that no one was watching the workshop, of course it was him who did it. Anyway, he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he was free, and he just happened to move a tree.

Sit on a stool at the gate and enjoy the sun.

His father had nothing to do in the afternoon and went to the mountains again. He was very concerned about repairing the tomb and wished he could do it himself.

In the spring afternoon, the sun is warm and the spring breeze is blowing on the face. It is easy to make people feel sleepy. In addition, he got up a little early this morning and was so busy that he is sitting comfortably now. He is indeed a little tired.

Sleepy.

Ye Yaodong laid a wooden stool horizontally on the ground, raised his feet on it, took off his sweater and covered his face, and fell asleep directly at the gate.

Until the sun sets in the west, some fishermen who fish on small wooden boats along the coast rush to finish their work when the sun goes down. They can also make extra meals for their families. Everyone who passes by the workshop door can see him sleeping soundly.

.

At the same time, he was also awakened by the voices of fishermen passing by, and his body also felt a little chilly. The sun was almost setting, and the temperature dropped sharply. It was not as warm as the sun was at its peak at noon, leaving only a chill.

.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and hurriedly put his clothes back on, when a voice came to his ears.

"Dongzi, I'll go to your place to settle the account after dinner later."

He turned around and saw that it was Brother Asheng.

"Okay, then I'll go to Ah Cai's place later to collect the money. It happens to be the end of the month."

Ye Yaosheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said with a smile: "There is no money left at home. All the money earned last month was used to pay off debts and advance this month's gas expenses. My wife can't work now either.

Calculating the accounts can also make my money easier, and I can also have money to buy some pieces of cloth to make two spring clothes for her and the two children."

"Yeah, that's right. The season has just changed in spring. The whole family has to make two clothes and wear them more nicely, so as not to let people say that you treated your newly married wife and children badly."

The orders for his sales are all in Ah Qing's hands, and he only waits for the monthly settlement before he can get the money. Every trip to sea costs a lot of gas, and he has to pay for it himself first.

"Today's cargo list is in Ah Da's hands. He is still at the dock waiting for your cousin's ship to come back."

"Okay, it just so happens that the squid season is approaching these days, so it would be a good idea to settle the accounts in advance. Then you can come over after dinner, and I will ask my cousin to come over and settle the accounts."

"OK."

After Ye Yaosheng agreed, he pushed his own cart home with brisk steps.

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at the open space around him. The twins, Ah Xiao, were sitting in the corner tying branches. He didn't know when he came back. He had a really comfortable sleep this time.

"Just watch here. If you see my eldest cousin coming back and passing by later, tell him to come to my house to settle accounts after dinner."

"Okay Brother Dong, I will remember it."

He stretched himself before going home. When he was standing at the door, he went to the door of his eldest brother and second brother's house to look around. Seeing that no one came back, he told his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.

Since we have to settle accounts, let's settle the accounts of several ships together and settle all the accounts for this month.

After I got home, I also talked to Ah Qing.

She was sitting in front of the stove cooking. When she heard this, she wiped her hands and said, "Then I have to sort out the inventory in advance."

"There's no need to rush, just cook your meal first, and then take it out and do the calculations after you finish the meal. It's okay for Ah Cai to settle the bill later. Anyway, I have the bill of goods in hand, so I'll give it to them first according to the price of the bill.

Come on, if you haven’t settled the account in the past two days, we’ll pay it in advance.”

"That's okay. Anyway, this account is very simple. Calculate it in half. Will the eldest brother and the second brother also do the calculation today?"

"Well, let's put it all together today."

"The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have no objection, what did you say?"

"What did you say? But what the heck, everyone else is fine with it today, but they don't want it? No, I won't tell the eldest and second brothers directly?"

Just now, his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were really not happy, and said that it was only a few days apart, and it would be the same after the 30th.

Because they each kept the manifests of their two ships by themselves, and only waited for the settlement at the end of the month. They would then take out the manifests of the two ships that month, and then divide the accounts into three parts, which was equivalent to each of them having to vomit.

1/3 of the money was given to him.

That’s why I’m not willing to settle the bill in advance.

When he received the money, he was very happy and wished he could get it into his pocket early. But when he settled the account and gave the money, he was not so happy. Most people were like this, and he didn't care.

"Well, let's have dinner early tonight. You and dad are both back anyway."
