When he was talking to a few friends, his family also heard it and no one in the family had any objection.
The isolated island is rich in resources. They have seen it once. Ye Yaodong can bring back several sacks of shellfish during each trip. Apart from those that can be sold, there are still a lot left at home to be used as vegetables for the workers.
Before setting off this time, Ye's mother specifically told him to bring a few more sacks and fill them with food so that the leftovers can be dried in the sun. For example, dried dandelions can be stored for a long time after being dried, and they are very delicious when used to make soup or noodles.
Ye Yaodong lifted the bucket in his hand and showed it to her. There were several folded sacks inside. "Are 5 enough?"!
"Enough! Bring two more buckets with you."
Who would complain about having too much free stuff
"Fine… "
After everyone in the family had gone to work on the homestead, the others finally arrived.
"It's still the four of us. Fatty didn't come because it was too sunny. Awei was called by his father to go up the mountain to carry watermelons. Mouse went to the town dock diligently early in the morning to carry them."
"Oh, let's go then."
It was better to have fewer people. If they hadn't come to him and asked him to go fishing, he would have wanted to contract the entire island by himself.
Rowing is slow, but it is quite simple once you master the technique. It also exercises the body, especially the arm strength.
Xiaoxiao said jokingly: "I didn't expect our Dong Ge can do everything, even rowing!"
"Tsk, it's nothing."
Ah Guang said with some emotion: "It's nice to have a small boat of my own. I don't have to go out to work odd jobs. I can go out to sea and cast a few nets every day. Isn't this better than going to the dock to move goods?"
Ah Zheng nodded and said, "Indeed, the ocean is rich in resources, and we can swim. As long as we don't get our feet caught on the line when casting the net, there won't be any big problems near the coast."
"Dongzi, you might as well ask your father to buy this boat, so that it won't be difficult to divide it after you split up. Your father won't be able to give the boat to anyone." Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Yaodong seriously and said.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Need you to tell me? I asked my father to buy the boat as soon as I got it. Now it is my personal property."
"Ah? That's great, I'll count on you to help me out when I get rich."
"To be honest, you three can also get a small boat together. Whether you use hand-cast nets, ground trap nets, or Korean nets, it will be better than working from day to day now. It's so tiring to move goods at the dock, and you only earn one or two dollars a day."
Ye Yaodong was serious about what he said. If he continued to be idle like this, wasting his time doing nothing, he would regret it when he got older.
In their previous lives, several of their friends had been doing odd jobs until they were old, except for A Guang who had a better life after changing his name. It was also because his father had foresight and bought a boat as soon as he saved enough money, and he was his only son.
Ah Guang touched his chin when he heard this, "I'm fine, I just need some money!"
"Fuck, everyone is short of money!"
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes. "Is it a matter of money? It's a lot of money, okay? Even Dong's 6-meter boat, a new one would cost several hundred dollars, okay? Second-hand ones are not easy to buy either."
"Guang, you keep the money yourself, and you have the nerve to say you are short of money? You have been living a more comfortable life than anyone else recently, right?"
"Oh, don't I have to save money for my wife? I'm already old, Dongzi is a father of two children, and Xiaoxiao also has a daughter. I have to work hard to give birth to a son to seduce his daughter, right?"
Xiao Xiao kicked him and said, "Fuck you, you don't even have a wife, yet you're still thinking about my daughter."
The topic was going off the track, so Ye Yaodong quickly pulled it back, "Spend less money, save up a little bit slowly, or borrow some from your parents or brothers. Buying a boat is a serious matter, and they will definitely support it."
Ah Zheng held his chin and sighed, "Well, it's easy to say, but they won't believe it. They are used to being idle. If you go to borrow money, they may wonder what you did with the money. How can it be so easy to lend money?"
"Then why don't you behave more diligently? Like me, and appease your wife and mother at the same time. If you don't behave well in action, how can they believe your empty words?"
"It's more reliable to save money by yourself. If I had known that the nearly 400 yuan would be shared by the horse fish, I would not have handed it over. It would have been enough for us to buy a boat together."
Xiaoxiao slapped his thigh and regretted it. It was easy to give the money to his wife, but it was hard to get it back. He only made her smile for a few days. Now she is still glaring at him and scolding him. Damn it! Woman!
Ye Yaodong shook his head. We all know how much the goods were sold for. How could he not hand them over? He would even rip the roof off your head. You are not a reliable person, so how could he let you keep so much money for yourself
"Then you should save your private money well from now on. You have to have a plan, right?"
"Brother Dong, I'm counting on your little boat to help us brothers get rich. Let me hug your thigh first!"
Ye Yaodong kicked Ah Zheng away and said, "I have to make money to support my family in Hukou. At most, I can take you guys with me when I go fishing on the lonely island. Whether you can find good stuff depends on you."
"What kind of net are you going to put out? A Frisbee net? It's a pity that it's a small wooden boat, otherwise we could go sea fishing!"
"Just wait, I'll change to a boat when I get rich."
He was not capable in his previous life, otherwise he would have wanted to go sea fishing.
"You haven't told me what kind of net you're going to set up yet?"
"Ground traps. I have no time to spare as I am building a house at home. I certainly cannot do nothing. Ground traps are quite suitable. I spend a few hours collecting the nets every two or three days. I can bring back the worthless fish to eat, and no one can say anything."
"That's fine too. Put a few more rows. When there's a lot of cargo, it won't be much worse than trawling."
"Even if the goods are even a little, I can still earn a few dollars, and I can also earn a living."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right, so you should save up money and buy a boat together. A Guang has plenty of money, so it's up to you two."
Ah Zheng hesitated and said, "If we buy the boat together and work together, will the others feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. "What the hell, who cares what they do? If others have ideas, they can buy it together. You're not their father, so how can you control whether they eat shit or not?"
"That's right. If they have an idea, they can buy it together." A Guang agreed.
Everyone has a herd mentality. If their friends are all giving up, they won’t care. But when their friends all have boats, everyone will definitely have their own ideas and will want to get a boat too.
"Well, let's save money then."
"Alas, I originally went to the island for fun, but now it's no longer possible. Damn, I didn't bring enough luggage."
“I only brought two sacks!”
"Fuck, Dongzi, you brought five sacks? You think that's too much? Aren't you afraid that your boat will sink?"
"Although my boat is small, it can still carry 5 tons. If it's not big enough, you can take turns to swim back."
"Grass… "
