He has been to the docks in the city countless times and is very familiar with him. Some people are also familiar with him, such as those who drive tractors to pull goods. People in the city who dock frequently will know him.

As soon as he landed, he found an empty spot, asked someone to carry the scale up, and then asked the few people he brought to start shouting.

"Collecting trash fish that no one wants~"

"5 cents are collected for trash fish that no one wants, no matter how big or small they are..."

It was already noon when they arrived at the pier. Although it was noon and it was not that lively, this was the city's pier and there was a wholesale market. There would be boats docking all day long, and there would still be people coming and going.

Their shouts immediately attracted a large number of people to come over and ask questions. Some of them might be curious, and some of them were the boss of the ship.

Ye Yaodong used his sharp tongue to explain to everyone.

"Don't throw the unwanted fish in the sea if you don't want them. Bring them all back to us. We will collect them at the dock starting today."

"It's good to earn a few yuan more. A big ship can drag a net worth several thousand kilograms, but half of it has to be dumped back to sea. You can get some money back."

"How much does it cost?"

"5 centimeters."

The trash fish brought back by the Harvest Boat are now collected at the same price.

"5 cents... 100 kilograms is only 50 cents, a ton is only 10 yuan, 10,000 kilograms is only 50 yuan, it's a piece of shit."

Ye Yaodong explained with a smile, "That can also subsidize some gas money. I brought it back when I came back. Some boats are close by and don't use gas at all. It's good to have more for a few cents. You can also buy one for your family."

Half a pound of meat.”

"A powered ship consumes fuel anyway. If the cargo is a few hundred kilograms less, it will not consume fuel. For that ship, a few hundred kilograms more or a few kilograms less will not be consumed.

A hundred pounds is not much different."

"There are also a lot of two-cent bargains in the wholesale market. It's not bad to sell these groceries for 5 cents. It's better to sell them for some money than to throw them back into the sea."

"If those big ships don't dump their cargo back into the sea for just one day, there will be so much trash fish. If you can bring back 10,000 kilograms of groceries, you can just subsidize the gas money. Isn't that great?"

"The big ship costs about the same amount of gas for a trip back to the shore. The smaller ship doesn't consume as much fuel and can make a little profit. Not to mention the small wooden ship, the profit is guaranteed."

Everyone whispered to each other and felt that it made sense. Although I didn't think it would make much money, it could still subsidize gas money and not lose money.

A big ship consumes so much fuel for one trip back. Multiple cargoes weighing 10,000 kilograms each won’t cost much more in gas. It can also subsidize the fuel cost for one trip back. In total, it’s a gain in gas money.

"You are doing well..."

"Indeed, I just make some gas money for others..."

"It's all pretty good. I can only subsidize gas money. It's impossible to make more money..."

"Although this is the case, it's good to be able to subsidize the fuel money. It costs so much money to move the ship. It won't cost much more to bring back more cargo."

Ye Yaodong said to everyone again: "We came here temporarily today. Many boats have gone out to sea, and the boss of the boat has not received the news. I have to ask everyone to help spread the word. Selling a few more yuan will be friendly to the fishermen, haha."

"Are you coming again tomorrow?"

"Come on, we will need it every day, and we will receive the goods at the dock every day."

"Then we'll tell the others later...let them figure out whether it's a good deal or not..."

There were many people coming and going on the pier, so news spread most easily. Within 5 minutes, everyone in the surrounding area knew that a group of people had come to the pier to collect unwanted small fish, and more people came around.

.

Ye Yaodong asked the other boys to deal with these people first. He went to find food nearby. It was already noon, and everyone had just arrived, and they were still hungry.

After filling his stomach, he saw that it was still noon and there were no fishing boats docking. The fishing boats would have to wait until evening to return.

Thinking that idleness is idle, I left the younger brothers on the pier to deal with the people who came to ask questions.

By the way, I also left 10 yuan, what if a fishing boat comes back to sell goods?

Then he patted his butt and left, stopped a rickshaw, picked up a basket of fish sauce that he brought specially this morning, and prepared to go find Director Chen to show his courtesy.

Director Chen looked at the fish sauce in the bag and was very curious. After asking about it, he only praised him for his cleverness. Others were still going out with bottles to drink, but he made it so convenient.

Ye Yaodong asked him to give it away if he couldn't finish it. Don't feel bad, he had plenty at home.

"By the way, you reminded me last month that there is a fishery association in Vancouver. The Ocean Bureau here also proposed it during the city meeting last month. We can't lag behind others."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "We also want to establish a fishery association?"

"Yes, you told me last time, I think it's pretty good. I'm planning to ask you what's going on with the fishery association? What are its charters, distribution of responsibilities, and so on? You can also

Tell me."

"Ah... I'm not there, so I just put up my name and don't care about anything. Otherwise, I'll tell you what I know, and then call you when I get home? I'll call you then.

?”

"Okay, just tell me what you know."

Ye Yaodong nodded and told everything he knew, and also expressed some of his opinions.

Director Chen also got to know him in detail and in depth. The two discussed happily for half an afternoon. Ye Yaodong also drank half a pot of tea before leaving.

After coming out of the Ocean Bureau, he immediately went straight to the market, asked his father-in-law to calculate the sales volume, and asked about the sales of lighters, and then took a ride from his second brother-in-law back to the dock.

He was wrapped tightly in clothes. Fortunately, it was winter, so he wore many and thick clothes. He hid all his money close to his body and was riding in his second-in-law's car, so he was not afraid of an accident.

At this time, many fishing boats were already coming back one after another on the pier.

As soon as some people came up, they heard that there were people on the pier who were collecting unwanted trash fish, no matter how small they were, even as big as a finger. Many people were slapping their thighs and regretting that they did not bring back the trash fish.

Some people brought the trash fish back and wanted to feed the pigs and chickens and ducks. After hearing about it, they immediately sold the goods to them.

There are quite a few people like this. Nowadays, every household raises some poultry. People who go to sea always feel that it is a waste to throw away the goods, so they will bring back two buckets of goods to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs.

Now that I can actually exchange money, there is nothing to hesitate about. For just two cents more, I can buy candy for my children.

When Ye Yaodong arrived at the pier, there were already many baskets filled with goods at Wang Guangliang's feet, and there were a bunch of onlookers watching around him.

They won't refuse anyone who comes, as long as it's fish.

He pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

"Is it open?"

"It's open. I've been hanging out at the pier all day, and it's only now that the fishing boats are coming back to the dock one after another in the evening." Wang Guangliang said happily and returned the remaining money to him.

"Not bad, at least I'm not empty-handed today."

"It's just that the fish is so small..."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, if you take it back for fermentation, they won't be willing to feed it to chickens and ducks. You can just dry it and eat it, or give it to others."

He nodded and continued working.

Since the wholesale market is open at night, they simply wait until night.

There are the most fishing boats docking at night, and they are all big boats.

But they didn't stay very late, and headed home around 7 o'clock. It was too cold now, especially at night, and the wind at the pier was stronger than in other places.

Anyway, after staying on the pier for a day, almost everyone knew that they were collecting small trash fish that no one wanted in the past, and today's goal was achieved.

Although it was only the first day and the fishermen were unprepared, they still collected over a thousand kilograms of goods, so they did not return empty-handed.

"Today I'm just here to promote it. It's good to have these. There will definitely be more goods tomorrow, so bring more sacks or baskets."

"Okay Brother Dong."

"I should go out to sea if there is no accident at night. I will leave it to you tomorrow. I won't bargain for the price anyway. Just take what you have."

"You don't have to come too early tomorrow. You can finish your meal early at noon and set off here at 11 o'clock. It will be just in time for the fishing boat to come back in the evening. You don't have to wait. The goods will be available immediately."

"You control the time of return. If you feel that there are no ships coming back later, or if there is enough cargo that it cannot be piled up, there is no problem in coming back early. You can do it yourself."

"OK."

Today I went home easily and directly. No one exerted much effort. Although I got home a little late, everyone was very happy. No one doesn't like the easy job of making money.

The cold wind blew at night, and it was already past 11 o'clock when I got home, and the lights in the workshop were also turned off.

The 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of miscellaneous fish they brought back two days ago were almost processed, so there was no need to stay up late to kill them.

As for the goods delivered by Ah Cai every evening, it only takes a few hours at night and a day during the day. There is no need to kill them overnight.

He asked them to move the goods they brought back tonight to the open space of the fish sauce workshop, let the boy on duty watch them, and then sent them home to rest.

Lin Xiuqing hadn't slept the whole time and had been waiting for him to come back, but she didn't expect him to come back so late.

When I opened the door for him, I couldn't help but think about it.

"You have to go to sea at night. You just came back now. It will be 12 o'clock when you go to bed. Can you still get up at night?"

"Then why don't I just stop sleeping? I'll stay up until 2 o'clock and then get up and sleep on the boat later."

"Why don't you sleep?"

"Let's do some exercise. Didn't you say you're afraid that I won't be able to get up? Then I'll just stop sleeping and exercise will make me more energetic."

"Pooh……"

Ye Yaodong ignored her dislike and changed the topic to get down to business, "You get up tomorrow morning and give A Liang 100 yuan in change and give it to him to receive the goods."
