Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong slept until nearly 8 o'clock before being woken up by Lin Xiuqing.

This was what he had explained the day before. Workers came to work at 8:30, and he had to follow them and direct people to work.

After Ye Mu learned about his plan the day before, yesterday afternoon she had people take the time to filter the fish sauce that could be filtered but not yet filtered, and put it into some empty tanks.

All the containers that could be freed were used as much as possible, and the remaining dregs were used again to make the second dew. All the empty containers were cleaned.

It has been drying all night and is almost dry. Ye Yaodong can immediately instruct people to move it.

He is also vigorous and resolute.

After looking around, I had a good idea and immediately asked the workers to take the big tanks and barrels that my mother had cleaned and pull them one by one to the dock, and then move them to the ship.

As long as it is related to fish sauce, we will move everything to the city without leaving anything that can be moved.

The remaining fish sauce in the tank can also be stacked in the corner for peripheral delivery and replenishment.

Then, we arranged to unload about 20,000 to 30,000 jins of squid this morning and move them to the dried fish workshop next door.

Ye Yaodong listened to the weather forecast specifically last night. It turned cloudy and sunny today, and it will be sunny tomorrow too, so he can rest assured and do some work first.

He planned to let people divide the squid into two parts, one part was dried before being cooked, and the other part was cooked and dried into strips to make shredded squid.

Anyway, he has a lot of goods. Once this batch is finished, there will be more in the next batch.

Several large pots have been set up in the workshop, and the boiling water is boiling. As soon as the squid is brought in, it starts to be cooked before it has thawed.

Those old aunts had been idle for a few days and had already gathered around the pot with their sleeves on. They could hardly wait to work.

It is also very convenient to process this squid, much faster than killing fish.

After cooking, take it out in a drain basket, disembowel it, remove the head, and cut the body part into strips, then tie it up with a rope to dry in the sun, and then tear it into small strips when the time comes.

Everyone cooks the squid first, since it can be cooked without defrosting, and then waits for it to defrost before killing and spreading it out to dry.

Throughout the morning, people came and went in the two workshops here. Women were busy inside, and men were moving in and out, unloading goods, and the work was in full swing.

Onlookers looked and talked at the door.

Although Ye Yaodong didn't start working, he was still going back and forth giving instructions and talking, and he was busy all morning without touching the ground.

There are many fermentation containers in the fish sauce workshop, and they are piled up outside the open space. Those tanks and barrels take up a lot of space, and they will also take up space if they are moved to the boat.

As a result, except for the largest one, Ocean No. 1, he had not loaded it. The other boats were all piled up and they had not finished loading. However, there were only a few boats on one boat.

He had no choice but to instruct people to put more dried fish in the buckets into those buckets, just to pull them over in one trip, otherwise he would always feel like he was losing money on gas.

When the equipment was almost ready, after lunch, he asked a few workers, each to drive a boat, and send them all to the city together.

And he also called in advance and told Wang Guangliang and the others to pick him up at the pier in the evening.

After the boat moved, he sat down completely to take a breath, then relaxed and began to patrol slowly.

The old aunts are also very efficient. In one morning, the construction sites of the two workshops were covered with squid, which were all dried and cooked. The upper and lower layers were staggered and dried in many layers.

When it comes time to dry the fresh thawed ones in the afternoon, I separate them and dry them all next to the beach where the kelp was dried last year. Anyway, I just need to wait until the evening to bring them to the workshop.

It is threaded with a rope to dry, and it is also convenient to collect it. The whole line can be collected together.

Lin Xiuqing worked all day long. When the sun went down, she couldn't straighten her back. The key was that not all the goods she had unloaded this morning had been packed away.

"I asked those aunts to work overtime at night and continue to work. I don't know when the day will change. I will take advantage of the sun to shine today."

"Well, I don't think there's any need to collect those goods on the beach tonight. I'll arrange for five or six people to go there and guard them at night."

In the village or at the doorstep of your own home, you can feel more at ease.

"Well, I can't help it. There are too many. I need to dry them quickly. Oops, my waist——"

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to rub her lower back. His hands were large and covered a wide area. He could press half of her waist with one hand.

"Don't be like this, you're outside."

"What are you afraid of? We are a legal couple and we are not playing hooligans."

"I'll listen to the weather forecast later in the evening. If the weather is good the day after tomorrow, you can have some people move it out to dry in the sun tomorrow. Will it thaw if it's kept on the boat?"

"It's not easy to thaw in a closed space. I'll unload some more tomorrow depending on the situation."

"Um·...

Ye Yaodong walked beside her, rubbing her lower back as he walked.

Before I even reached the door, I ran into Secretary Chen who was coming over.

"Are you busy yet?"

"No, it's early, so I didn't see that there are people in the workshop, all working there."

"This means there is money to be made."

"Then I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen the money yet. There is a lot of backlog of goods. I don't know if I will get rid of it."

Secretary Chen nodded and did not continue talking about this topic, but brought him a piece of news.

"The results for the advanced youth who applied for you two years ago will probably be available in the next two days. You should be 100% certain. When the results come out, you have to go to the city in person to receive the award, receive the honorary commendation, and take photos. In the past few days, you have

Don’t go to sea.”

"Ah, so fast?"

"What's so fast? It's not so fast. It was almost the same time in previous years.'

Ye Yaodong smiled with a smile on his face, "Okay, then I will stay at home in the past few days and not go to sea. How can I be so sure? I am 90% certain?"

"If you are not sure of it, who is sure of it? Didn't you go to the city to receive the commendation from the city last year? You are the representative of the fishermen.

Someone who has received awards from the city, who is more suitable than you?"

"If this year's kelp hadn't been harvested until next month, I could have blown it again. Although I can't launch the satellite, but speaking from facts, you are also a model of leading the whole village to get rich."

"It's too late to talk about this now. I'll go to the county to publicize it for you in the second half of the year and help you set an example.

Fight for honor." Secretary Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, that's troublesome for you, haha. Come on, let's go to the house and talk slowly. We still have shredded squid dried on the boat at home. I'll take some back home for the children at home."

"That's not necessary. I just saw that you were back and thought of reminding you, so that if the weather gets better now, you won't have to go to sea for a few months and no one will claim the honor. It's a pity."

"good."

"Besides, we have to harvest kelp next month. If you are not in the village, I am worried that I will not be able to find you."

"I know. I know it well. Remember, if I'm not here, Ah Qing will help weigh the goods."

"That's good."

When Ye Yaodong came back yesterday, he saw that the sea was dark and full of growing kelp.

In the past, there were boats all around the coast, but now the boats have to put their nets a little further out.

If this year's harvest is good, everyone will be able to make money, and the village will definitely be bigger next year. The kelp farming in their village can be considered a success. From now on, the villagers just need to follow the steps.

And the village cadres will definitely do their best to publicize it. There is no doubt that it will spread to the entire county by then. It is only a matter of time.

It was almost time for dinner, so Ye Yaodong invited people to his home for dinner, and asked his children to call his father to come over early and have a few drinks with him.

When Father Ye saw Secretary Chen coming to the house for dinner, he was also smiling and enthusiastic. He immediately asked Mother Ye to get some wine.

Mother Ye gave him a few hard blows behind his back and urged him to go to sea early the next morning.

"Hurry up, out of sight and out of mind. I stay at home every day and drink as much as I can. Either this or that. There are many reasons."

"Why are you so anxious? It will take two days for their ship to arrive before I can go out to collect the goods. They just left at night."

The old lady quickly said: "You can sail Dongzi's new ship and go for him. Didn't we already agree? He is doing things at home, so you can change with him."

"Who told you?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at his father, "Dad, I think so too. I definitely won't have time to be at sea for a long time in the near future. It would be a waste to park the boat there. Why don't you drive out first? Then I will drive the boat at home for a while to collect fresh food."

, by the way, do you want to take care of things at home first?”

The old lady said: "Dongzi has so many things to do, you should help him more and listen to him more."

Ye Mu also echoed, "He still makes shredded squid and runs a fish canning factory in partnership with others. The village is still counting on him. You should quickly change with him. Anyway, you are free when you are idle."

"Why am I so free? I come and go, I'm very busy."

"You're busy, you're busy, you're busy drinking."

"Without me helping him share the burden, how could he have accomplished so many great things?"

"It's all your fault! You're so capable, but I haven't seen you let me enjoy this life for a few years." Ye Mu said angrily.

Ye Yaodong saw that his mother was about to quarrel again and interrupted her.

He was talking about business, and the old couple would bicker at every turn.

"I'm serious, dad. I'm very busy. I told you yesterday. I spent a lot of money to buy that boat, so I can't just sit there idle. I can count on you. You are my

The strongest backing, let’s replace it for now?”

Father Ye nodded, "Okay, I don't have any objections, and I didn't say not to go. They all think I'm in the way now, why don't they all have to count on me?"

"Yes, that's right. Don't I have to count on you to help me? Otherwise, how could I accomplish so many things?"

Father Ye was satisfied, "Originally, at home and at sea, how can I be missing inside and outside? I drink to do business, to connect with people emotionally, and to have good relationships with them, so that I can talk to them easily in the future."

"Yes, yes, this necessary social interaction is indispensable for building a good relationship."

"Yeah, what a great chat I had with Lao Chen yesterday. Everyone called me "older brother" and said that I am now a prominent person in the village...

Mother Ye rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone would die from hearing this. Just a few polite words, but you still take it seriously."

"Are you kidding? Of course my father is now a well-known person in the village. Just like you, mother, no matter where you go, people will give you a few compliments."

Mother Ye couldn't hold her lips down even if she wanted to.

"We have a meal and a lot of things to do. The workers over there have started to get busy, so you should go over there and keep an eye on it."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father, "Dad, it's settled. I'll let them unload the cargo in the cabin in the next few days, and you can make arrangements in advance. It just so happened that after the boatmen finished the work in the workshop, they
To be continued...
