As soon as Ye Yaodong got home, he put his things on the table and sat slumped like an uncle. Lin Xiuqing saw it and had to get him water first and let him wash up, then went to light a fire and planned to cook him some midnight snacks.

"What's delaying you? Didn't you say you'd have to eat on the flowing water table for three days? You should have sailed back early this morning, and you wouldn't have arrived in the middle of the night, right?"

"I came out and returned to the provincial capital in the morning, but no one had been to the provincial capital, so I stayed in the provincial capital for a whole morning shopping. I had something else to do in the afternoon, so I was taken to a plastics factory."

"Plastic factory?"

"It's a bag factory that makes ice bags. The bags are made of plastic. I asked Lao Hai to take me around the factory and look for the door. We'll talk about it when the machine arrives."

"So how does it look?"

"I understand roughly. Anyway, when I go to move the machine in a month or two, we will have a chat and come back with a few samples."

"oh."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and said: "I still have some paper in my suitcase. Please remember to help me put it away and put it in the drawer. This is very important. Don't lose it."

"What are you writing about?" Lin Xiuqing turned to ask him while chopping vegetables.

"Phone number, very important phone number."

He told her who the phone numbers belonged to and told her his plans.

Then he told Lin Xiuqing to order more large water tanks and extra large wooden barrels in a few days. Next year they will definitely start to increase production and fermentation, so they must prepare in advance.

As for the ships, they are being delivered one after another anyway. It will take time to order these things.

Everything has to have a time period and have to wait. He is not in a hurry and has to figure out the quantity of raw materials himself.

These numbers can be saved for now, and there will be no loss if they are not used.

When the old lady heard the noise outside the house, she knew it was him who was back. She put on her coat and came out to take a look. She said a few words of concern. Seeing the couple talking there, she went back to the house first.

Ye Yaodong went back to the house after finishing the supper. Lin Xiuqing had already packed the things he brought back.

Early the next morning, he picked out the copybooks from the books he bought yesterday.

Ye Chenghu was having breakfast. When he saw the familiar calligraphy, his eyes widened and he jumped up immediately.

"I don't want it!"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him, "Stop being so sentimental, who is going to give it to you? It's of no use at all. Asking you to write a few more words is like killing me. I have to give you the copybook I gave you before every day."

The completion.”

Ye Chenghu breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't given to him.

He wanted everything except the copybook.

"Dad, why do you keep buying more and more? This is not for me, who is it for?"

"You want it very much?"

He immediately shook his head into a wave, "No."

"Then you're asking the wrong question."

"Are you curious, should I give it to the other brothers and sisters? Give them a little more."

Ye Yaodong picked up the copybook he picked out, rolled it up, and hit him on the head. "It's worthless. This is what your father left for you to write."

Ye Chenghu's eyes widened in surprise, "Sir, you still want to write."

"Of course, your father is a well-known figure now, so how can he not know how to write? We happen to be on the same level. When the time comes to compare, if you are worse than me, you will be dead."

Ye Chenghu shrank his neck, not daring to say anything, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat his food.

Lin Xiuqing was also a little surprised, "Are you going to keep these for yourself? I thought you were going to give them to my eldest niece."

"Give half to her and half to me. Anyway, there is no one in the family who can read, so giving it to them would be a waste."

"Why are you practicing this?"

"Didn't I tell you? I am famous all over the country now. If I say I can't write, wouldn't that make people laugh? I'll practice this first to make my writing easier, and then I can practice my signature well."

Lin Xiuqing was speechless, she thought so far.

"If you can't engrave a private seal, how can you practice your signature?"

"That's different, you don't understand."

If you say she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand. She doesn't want to understand anyway.

"Did Dad call me in the past two days to ask how the lighter sales were going?"

"No, you can call him later."

"good."

By the way, he also had to call Fang Jingfu to ask him not to always produce a single variety, but to come up with some patterns. In addition to colors, he could also try more patterns and shapes, and try to make them as exquisite as possible, so that the varieties could be more diverse.

.

However, the small workshop has just started. You can hire people to draw patterns and study them, but you still have to win by quantity first.

One bite cannot make you fat, but you can put it forward first and develop in this direction.

After Ye Yaodong finished breakfast, he went to make phone calls without stopping. He also asked his father-in-law about the situation of lighters. The sales were good. Some vendors were wholesalers, and the person who had been here before approved another 2,000 lighters.

Sold one.

Father Lin is still thinking about promoting it the next time Boss Zhou asks for dried fish products. It is estimated that they will be sold in less than a month.

He asked Ye Yaodong to order another batch of goods. It would be best to replenish them at the beginning of next month, so that they could be connected and avoid running out of stock.

Ye Yaodong calculated that today is the seventh day of the lunar calendar, the 18th of the Gregorian calendar, and there are still 12 days before the beginning of next month. He first tried to contact Fang Jingfu.

However, Fang Jingfu immediately refused, saying that he couldn't do it just because he wanted 10,000.

So we later talked about waiting until the 5th of next month to reluctantly give another 5,000, and he had no choice but to agree.

After making the call, he sat and chatted with the old men from the village committee for a while.

Only then did I realize that in the past few days while he was away, the seedlings had already been planted while the typhoon had passed, and they would wait until they grew longer before dividing the seedlings.

Everything is going in the right direction.

However, when he returned home, he unexpectedly saw two familiar figures.

Chen Wei and Moazi each carried a password box. One was wearing a suit and tie, and the other was wearing overalls and toad glasses. They had polished leather shoes under their feet. They walked with their heads held high.

When I saw the villagers, they all took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"Where did Uncle Lin Qi come from with a hoe on his back... Haha... I just came back..."

"Aunt Chunhua is peeling potatoes, are you going to make lunch?"

"Why didn't A Ming go to work at sea..."

…

"Oh, look at your outfit, have you made a fortune?"

"You guys went out to make a lot of money and came back? How much money did you make?"

"Oh, this suit you are wearing is not cheap, isn't it? You look really energetic. How much did you earn?"

…

Ye Yaodong walked out of the alley and happened to see two people seven or eight meters away from him, standing and talking to the people around them.

He listened curiously, looked at the canteen in the center of the village not far away, and walked over there.

This is the information center of the village. If you go to this station, you can know all the gossip in the village.

As he walked, he would look back from time to time and prick up his ears to listen. Then as soon as he reached the entrance of the canteen, he saw other people pointing at the two doggy-looking people in front of him and whispering.

He asked curiously, "When did they come back?"

An aunt nearby was eating melon seeds and replied: "I don't know, I just came back, right? Didn't you just enter the village?"

There are a lot of good people around. Most people like to sit in front of the shop and chat for a while when they have nothing to do. Some old men will also drink two ounces of wine and make peanuts in the shop to chat with others.

Or you can set up a game of cards in front of the store. The weather has turned cooler recently, but it’s not too cold or too hot. It’s very comfortable to sit outside and play cards.

Everyone looked forward curiously.

This shop is located in the center of the village and is the only way to enter the village.

"Have you made a fortune? He is dressed like a human and dog. Look at his slicked back hair. He looks really energetic. He looks like he is a boss."

"They are returning home in fine clothes. Looking at them like this, they are still holding the lockbox in their hands. They look very grand."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I don't know how much money I earned with this outfit."

The aunt who was eating melon seeds said: "Look at what they are wearing, Ah Dong, why don't you dress like that? You are also a famous person in our country from all over the country. Look at what you are wearing, look at it again.

What other people are wearing, tell me how your clothes match you."

"You've only been out for a while and you've come back dressed like this. You have to dress better too. You see, it's all being compared."

Ye Yaodong was confused and looked down at his equipment.

They were worn for work, and were dusty. Because I often worked at sea, the diesel oil on my clothes was so black that I couldn't even wash them off. There were patches here and there, and I had to get a few stitches on my elbows because they were torn.
